"Nanban has been decided, Yizhou has been flattened, it seems that it is time to carry out that plan."

After receiving the report from Guo Jia, Yuan Shu quickly summoned his advisors to discuss the next plan.

"Lord, isn't it a bit risky to do this? This method is shocking to the world, and I am afraid that there will be endless troubles if it is easily used! Now that we have completely occupied the general trend, there is no need to take such a risky plan! ”

Tian Feng really didn't understand what Yuan Shu thought. Now that the Central Plains haven't been won, why are you starting to worry about foreign affairs? This point is wrong! And the mind is dangerous.

Fu Zhu and the others also had similar thoughts to Tian Feng. It is said that the lord has always resisted the family, hasn't he? Why is there such an idea of raising tigers now?

And people like Xun You and Gu Yong are extremely excited in their hearts. He realized what Yuan Shu was doing, and a new peak of the family was coming.

The families and people in the Hanmen present had their own thoughts, but except for Tian Feng, no one spoke.

"Wenhe, what do you think?" Faced with this situation, Yuan Shu still consulted his chief secretary first.

In an instant, the eyes of countless people gathered on Jia Xu's face, and all kinds of eyes were different.

This kind of situation that became the focus made Jia Xu feel extremely uncomfortable, and secretly scolded Guo Fengxiao in his heart for why he didn't come back.

But now that everyone is afraid to speak, except for Tian Feng, he has the most right to speak. Jia Xu sighed lightly in his heart, he still couldn't escape!

"The lord's move is good, but it is easy to cause the tail of the family to fall apart and breed their ambitions. If the lord must implement it, he must first make three chapters with the family, and arrange all the conditions and possibilities first. ”

Jia Xu, who had to speak, could only avoid the important and take it lightly, pushing out these useless nonsense in a three, four, or five way, and keeping himself out of the matter, but he didn't show his attitude.

What an old fox!

Everyone's hearts cursed, and even Yuan Shu felt extremely helpless.

"Gongda, what do you think?" Yuan Shu turned his head and asked Xun Youdao.

In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Xun You's face again.

Xun You naturally has 10,000 support in his heart! But how dare he express his attitude in the face of this situation? In his heart, he scolded these bastards who looked at him, calmed down and said: "Everything is up to the lord, but it is true that you must negotiate the conditions with the family first, so as not to be difficult to manage in the future." ”

Yuan Shu nodded and looked at the others: "What about you?" Any other ideas? ”

The people below naturally agreed and opposed, but with Yuan Shu's character, since this matter was raised, I am afraid it would be difficult to change, and everyone was silent. Among them, most of the scholars from the poor family sighed lightly in their hearts, while all the children of the family were ecstatic in their hearts.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yuan Shu smiled slightly, pretended to be overhead and explained to Tian Feng gently: "Yuan Hao, although there are some despicable people in the family, they are indeed the essence of my big man. There are some things that we don't need, so we might as well give them to the Maison in exchange for what we need. ”

"We can't afford to take care of the small countries around Yizhou, let alone have the energy to manage them. Rather than put it there for waste, it is better to hand over these countries to the Maison for the time being. I'm sure they won't let us down. ”

How could Tian Feng not know this? Even a tough person like Xiang Yuan Shu must learn to compromise, otherwise, Wang Mang is the best example.

But Tian Feng, who was upright by nature, still didn't want to see Yuan Shu let these families go down this path. The Confucianism of the monarch and his ministers made it impossible for Tian Feng to approve of Yuan Shu's adventurous behavior of conniving at the division of feuds.

Seeing that Tian Feng closed his eyes and was silent, Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction, and turned to look at Xun You, Lu Kang, and Kuai Liang. These three people represent the new families in Jiangdong, the local families in Yangzhou and the local families in Yizhou.

With the continuous growth of Yuan Shu and the measures to share a lot of benefits to the Jiangdong family, more and more families chose to defect to Jiangdong. Slowly, a large force was formed, and the strongest Xun family naturally became their representative.

Seeing Yuan Shu's gaze, the three of them instantly understood: "Don't worry, as long as the lord supports the Jiangdong family to control the small countries around Yizhou, regardless of any conditions and restrictions, they will definitely obey it." ”

Kidding, this is a historic breakthrough, and if it is not grasped properly, the devil knows that it will be hundreds of years before such an opportunity can be encountered again. The family they represent is to smash the pot and sell iron, and they have to fight once to press everything on it. If you get it right, it's the real foundation of eternity.

That's right, what Yuan Shu wants to do now is to let the families secretly infiltrate and even control the countless small countries around Yizhou, so as to indirectly control these countries.

This matter seems simple, but it releases a signal that Yuan Shu wants to keep up with the Zhou Dynasty and completely let go of the monster of the sub-sealing system. Compared with this, the previous fiefdoms of Yizhou and Zhu Yizhou were just small fights.

Yuan Shu naturally knew the pros and cons of this. The decline of the Zhou Dynasty and the emergence of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are lessons from the past. If one day the master is strong and the servant is weak, it will be a world of great contention. But Yuan Shu was happy to see this.

The demise of the feudal system and the prevalence of the county system were certainly a great step forward in feudal society, but they also slowed down the pace of Chinese expansion.

The two most important ideas in ancient China, Confucianism and Legalism, ran through the entire history after the Qin Dynasty. But both of these ideas have a shortcoming that is not a shortcoming, the great unification and the supremacy of monarchy.

Therefore, from then on, the feudal system began to die out, and maintaining the rule of the dynasty became the biggest goal, and the actions of China's external expansion became slower and slower, and gradually indulged in internal strife.

There are many small countries near Yizhou, and even in the entire Southeast Asian region, and these small countries are weak, and they belong to the kind that can slap them all to death by sending 50,000 troops at will.

It is such a weak place that has not been included in the territory of China for thousands of years. The main reason is that the central government cannot control it, and if it is taken down, it can only be left to its autonomy. If you send some people in charge, when the emperor is far away, these people will inevitably have different intentions after a long time.

You know, a group of natives who don't know anything is much easier to deal with than a country under the leadership of the Han Chinese. Therefore, the end of the feudal system and the vassal states was a great progress, but it did hinder the pace of China's expansion.

Yuan Shu was also clearly aware of this. So he left this path to the Maison at the beginning. Rather than cheapening outsiders, it is better to cheapen these families that are connected to themselves.

There is no dynasty for eternity, as long as you don't stop the pace of expansion, as long as it is the Han people who occupy the land under your feet, you can sacrifice a little yourself.

Rather than establishing a dynasty that would last for hundreds of years, or at most thousands of years, Yuan Shu wanted to give this nation a direction, a direction that would continue to grow.

Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, every unprecedented prosperity must be preceded by a dynasty. With the foundation of the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, there was the prosperous era of the Han and Tang dynasties.

Similarly, if the reincarnation of the feudal system and the county system continues, continuing the cycle from the Zhou Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty and then to the Han Dynasty, the territory of China will grow endlessly and without boundaries.

Perhaps in the end, the whole world is filled with various countries founded by Han Chinese, but at least, it is the Han people who stand on top of the world.

Yuan Shu is not a saint, he also has selfishness, but his selfishness is too big, so big that it includes all Han people. So he doesn't care when the dynasty he might build in the future will perish, he only cares about whether the Han people can prosper and whether they can become the top of the world.

The more you know and the more you have, the more your horizons and thoughts will naturally be broadened. The rise and fall of the Yuan clan was not seen by Yuan Shu at all, otherwise he would not have let Sun Ce, such a righteous son, grow up like this.

In his opinion, all Han people are his own people, and what he wants to do is not as simple as dominating the Han world, but to lead the Han people on a road of swallowing the world.
