Chapter 255: Tianxiang's Gamble
"Wen Bufan, Wen Bufan. The old man doesn't know if you don't know if you are too self-conscious, or if you are bold. Only in all states and counties in the world that they are not wealthy and that government personnel account for half of the country, can they be safe.
In the place where they are, the wealthy families not only hold land, troops, and food, but also have many people behind them in the court.
If we and other local officials want to manage the territory under their jurisdiction well, they have to be restrained. Otherwise, this place will be in chaos, and you will not sit in this official position for long.
Wen Bufan, the old man knows that you are a courageous person. But you still have to do everything according to your ability, otherwise you will overestimate yourself and you will only end up ruined.
As a person who has come over, the old man advises you here, let's stop as soon as possible. Don't turn your face with the wealthy family. You can't win against them.
Again. Even if you are extraordinary, you can really have the ability to suppress the wealthy family in Hedong, but you are finished, and you can only live in Hedong forever. Because, once you successfully suppress the Hedong giants, if you want to intervene in other places in the future, you are afraid that you will be violently counterattacked by the local wealthy families.
These wealthy people, for the sake of the family, for their power and interests, they have accumulated several generations, once they go crazy, it is definitely something you can ignore. ”
Ding Yuan's words are very true, and there are already some words in it that are arrogant. Because of this, Wen Han could hear that Ding Yuan was genuinely thinking about him.
Wen Han only had firmness in his eyes, and he looked at Ding Yuan. What he just said, Xi Long also analyzed, but in the end, he and Xi Long still unanimously decided to take this step.
Of course, Ding Yuan didn't know that behind Wen Han, there was Xi Long, a strategist with the ability to go through heaven and earth, to assist. For the wealthy families in Hedong, the bright rise and secret fall, the implementation of Tuntian, and the cooperation with the giant businessmen and wealthy families in business to do stability, as long as a series of plans are successfully implemented, the wealthy people in Hedong can no longer threaten Wenhan.
Wen Han is not afraid that they will rebel, after all, he represents the side of the imperial court, if the wealthy people in Hedong rebel, they will be thieves. Then Wen Han will not hesitate to remove them.
As for whether those bureaucrats behind the wealthy people in Hedong will make small moves in front of Emperor Han Ling and remove him from his official position. This is something that Wen Han can't grasp, and he can only hope that Emperor Han Ling can see the facts.
Finally, will he be involved in other states and counties in the future, and will be attacked by local giants? Wen Han was not worried, because he believed that his way of driving the world with public opinion would awaken the humanity of the local people and assist him.
As long as Hedong Tuntian succeeds, he will have enough food to feed a large number of people, and as long as there is food and can survive, the local people will not be willing to be controlled by wealthy people.
After all, the wealthy families in this world are only a few. As long as the local people are willing to come to Wenhan's side, Wenhan is not afraid of how much wind and rain the local wealthy people can set off.
"Ding Gong, there is no way in this world. When people go too much, the way comes out. In the past, or as Ding Gong said, in every place, the government and the wealthy families accounted for half of each place.
But the extraordinary has to take an unusual path, open up a new path, and be the pioneer.
What Ding Gong said just now was clear before he came. Please believe that this decision was made after careful consideration. Please also ask Ding Gong to help me, today's grace, extraordinary must be remembered in my heart, and I will repay it in the future! ”
"You!" Ding Yuan didn't seem to expect Wen Han to say this, he stared at Wen Han's eyes, the firmness in Wen Han's eyes made Ding Yuan's heart complicated, and finally he sighed and said.
"Huh. It seems that you are determined to confront the Hedong giants. Are you prepared to accept the consequences of being discredited? ”
"It's not extraordinary to confront the wealthy families in Hedong, but it's extraordinary that you need to sit in the position of Hedong's Taishou. Only in this way can we change the current situation in Hedong.
The wealthy have too much money and too much food in their hands. One of their people spends enough daily to make ends for a hundred. Now in Hedong, there are many homeless people who have no clothes and no food to eat. They are also the people of the Han Dynasty, should their lives be so despicable?
As long as this wealthy man is willing to let go of his hands, these homeless people will be able to eat enough and survive. It is not that the extraordinary, but that the wealthy people have nowhere to go, but just want them to give up some inconsequential interests. They are still able to live a wonderful life, spend money like dirt, and stand tall. ”
"Hmph, Wen Bufan, you really underestimate these wealthy people. Give up some? That's impossible. They just want more, more. ”
"Then, the extraordinary can only fight with them for more people."
Ding Yuan was silent, and after a series of conversations, he already understood that Wen Han would not give up if he did not achieve his goal, or more appropriately, this road, whether it was bright or dark, he must go to the end.
"Wen Bufan, five thousand stone grain is not a small amount. Although the old man is a thorn in the state, it is impossible for him to lend you the five thousand stones of grain casually.
Moreover, you must stick to this road, the old man does not dare to guarantee how long you can sit in Hedong Taishou. A year later, not to mention the total of 10,000 stone of grain you promised to return twice, even the 5,000 stone capital invested by the old man, I don't know if you can get it back?
So... The old man didn't dare to accept the gift you sent. You'd better take it back to Hedong. ”
Ding Yuan admired Wen Han again, but he only stayed in appreciation, and had no other more special feelings. 600,000 catties of grain is enough for the people of a county to eat for half a year.
How could he, Ding Yuan, lend these 600,000 catties of grain to a person who would lose his official position at any time just by appreciating one person.
"It's an extraordinary embarrassment for Ding Gong. This gift was actually given away, and there was never a gift to get it back. Moreover, when Ding Gong was in extraordinary danger, he also helped many times.
Please also ask Ding Gong not to blame the extraordinary, today's abrupt rudeness. ”
Ding Yuan's refusal only made Wen Han's face slightly disappointed, and Wen Han quickly regained his strength. He understood what Ding Yuan was up to.
In this way, the two of them sit opposite each other on the balcony, which is inevitably a little embarrassing. Ding Yuan was restless and a little irritable, Wen Han saw it, sighed, and wanted to say goodbye to Ding and go back to Hedong.
Ding Yuan frowned, he really admired Wen Han very much, and he also hoped to see him succeed. But that's all, after Ding Yuan pondered for a long time, he still let Wen Han stay and rest for a day. Let him think about it and give Wen Han an answer tomorrow.
Although Wen Han knew that Ding Yuan had little chance of changing his mind, the matter of borrowing grain was very important, and he was willing to give it a go if there was a glimmer of hope. Ding Yuan was irritable and didn't want to talk to Wen Han anymore, so Wen Han retired and went back to his room to rest first. Ding Yuan nodded, and did not stay any longer.
Not long after Wen Han left, the woman who was playing the piano by the pond lifted the silk curtain and walked out with an intoxicating fragrance. She silently looked at Wen Han's figure, as if she knew Wen Han.
"Tianxiang, come. Sit with the old man. ”
It turned out that this person was Tianxiang, who had a relationship with Wen Han in Qifeng Tower, and also played chess. Tianxiang heard Ding Yuan call her, so she stepped lightly on the boat, went ashore, and walked towards the platform.
As soon as the heavenly fragrance came, the indescribable fragrance on his body suddenly made Ding Yuan suck in the air greedily. The unique fragrance on Tianxiang's body made the irritability on Ding Yuan's face gradually fade.
"Lord Thorn. The slave family is polite. ”
Tianxiang bent her graceful and delicate body, a slight salute, and a white pure snow spot silk dress, so beautiful that she was like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
"Haha, why should a beauty be polite. It is the old man's fault to make the beauty wait for a long time. Come, sit. ”
Tianxiang followed Ding Yuan's words, and the silk clothes moved, like a red dust and white lotus, sitting opposite Ding Yuan. At that time, the status of women was extremely low, and they were generally not allowed to sit at the same table as men, let alone Ding Yuan, who was the lord of a state. However, it seems that Tianxiang is very familiar with Ding Yuan, and some secular etiquette is exempted.
"Lord Thorn Shi, the slave family seems to be frowning, it seems that there is something troublesome?"
Tianxiang's voice was as light as a spring breeze, which made people listen to it very comfortably, Ding Yuan nodded, and did not shy away from it, and even roughly told Tianxiang about the conversation with Wen Han just now. Of course, there are some words in this, Ding Yuan did not say.
Tianxiang frowned, thoughtful, and it was a beautiful scenery.
"There are some things that Tianxiang doesn't know whether to say or not."
"Oh, Tianxiang has a good relationship with the old man. Don't scruple about it, just say it. ”
"Tianxiang thinks that Lord Thorn Shi should lend food to Champion Lang."
"Hehe, I didn't expect that Tianxiang, who is highly sought after by the heirs of wealthy families and dignitaries in Bingzhou on weekdays, and even Wu'er Fengxian can't look down on it, would fall in love with Wen Bufan."
Regarding Ding Yuan's ridicule, Tianxiang just smiled faintly and shook her head slightly.
"Definitely. Tianxiang is just a Fengyue woman, how dare she intercede with others. Don't make fun of Tianxiang. Tianxiang just thinks that Champion Lang's actions are indeed for the benefit of more people.
Indeed, as he said, as long as those high-ranking wealthy families are willing to give up a little, they can let many people who have no rice to cook and no home to survive.
And, if he succeeds. Lord Assassin Shi can also follow his example and benefit the people of Bingzhou. ”
"Tianxiang Beauty, are you so sure that Wen Bufan can succeed?"
"The slave family is not sure. But I feel that the champion Lang is not an ordinary person. ”
"Isn't it ordinary people? For this reason, he wanted the old man to lend him 5,000 stone of grain. Tianxiang beauty, are you a little child's play? ”
"Hehe, what should I do to make the assassin think it's not child's play?"
Tianxiang smiled again, the fair and flawless skin, like the perfect facial features carved by God, and the smile in the eyes can lock the hearts of men all over the world.
Ding Yuan was sluggish for a while, although he was over half a hundred years old, he was physically strong, and everyone had a love for beauty, such a beauty could be imagined as long as it was a man.
"Not as well. Let's make a bet. Bet on this extraordinary article to succeed. If Wen Bufan really has the courage to suppress the wealthy people in Hedong, the old man is willing to spend a lot of money to redeem his innocence for Tianxiang Beauty.
If Wen Bufan finally fails, the old man will also redeem his innocence for Tianxiang Beauty, but Tianxiang Beauty will marry the old man and become the old man's wife and concubine. ”
