"Guan Hai, what is the influence of Taiping Dao in your hometown?" Xi Zhicai began to pay attention to the development of Taiping Road after listening to Su Xiu talk about Taiping Road at the beginning of the year.

On the way to Nanyang and to Mount Tai, Xi Zhicai also heard news about Taiping Road from time to time. As Su Xiu said, the Taiping Dao is actually to promote their doctrine and philosophy by drawing talismans and administering medicine.

For the concept of Taiping Dao, after Xi Zhicai had a general understanding, his judgment was basically the same as what Su Xiu said at that time, and he felt that this Taiping Dao was not small, and when it developed to a certain extent, it would definitely become the beginning of the turmoil in the Han Dynasty.

What Xi Zhicai didn't expect was that there were also Taiping Road activities in Mount Tai, and the lord seemed to know about it.

"Hui Junshi, in Liangfu, Taiping Dao is still very trusted by the people, and many people, especially poor people, will basically go to find people in Taiping Dao if they have any illness. After all, the poor people do not have any money left over to buy medicine in the pharmacy, so Taiping Road is very popular among the people. ”

"Lord, look at this ......"

"Zhicai, I know what you're going to say. But there was no urgency. Su Xiu stopped Xi Zhicai's intention to continue.

"Then Guan Hai, what do you think of Taiping Dao?" Su Xiu then asked Guan Hai.

"My lord, Hai is a rough man, I don't understand those big truths, I just know that now everyone thinks that Taiping Dao is good, so it is naturally good."

"Oh? If everyone thinks it's good, do you think it's good? So what do you think of it yourself? Su Xiu didn't believe that Guan Hai was really the kind of person who was like the clouds, and it was impossible for such a person to become a Yellow Turban general.

"My lord, in fact, I really haven't learned about Taiping Dao. The reason why I know it is because the fathers and elders in my hometown are talking about how good Taiping Dao is, and they often help the people. For those who help the people in this way, the subordinates naturally think it is good. ”

"Then if I tell you that the doctrine of Taiping Dao is to create a world where everyone has a field to plant, every family has surplus food, and everyone is equal, what do you think?"

"Huh? Wouldn't that be great? If everyone in the world had a field to plant, then they would not starve to death because of lack of food. Isn't that great? ”

"Guan Hai, let me ask you, are you equal in martial arts with your comrades?"

"That's not me boasting, in martial arts, I am indeed better than many of my comrades, this is naturally unequal."

"Very well, Guan Hai, why do you think you are not equal?"

"My subordinates think that everyone is physically different, some people are born strong, some people are born weak, this is the difference in physical foundation; There are also some people who have never been exposed to martial arts, and only began to learn them after joining the army, which is naturally different from their colleagues who already have martial arts; In addition, the difference in the length of time and the degree of effort will also affect the level of martial arts. ”

"Very good, Guan Hai, you are right, people will always be different for various reasons, so there will be a goal to strive for excellence, if everyone is the same, how can you want to become stronger?

Just like I asked the soldiers before if they want to be generals, that is a desire, a kind of ambition, if there are all the same generals on this campus, will anyone want to be a general? Anyway, everyone is a general, and it's all the same.

Desire or ambition is the source of motivation to promote people's progress, and equality of all people wears out the heart of progress, so equality of all people is just a good wish, which is impossible and should not be realized. ”

"Huh? My lord, some of my subordinates don't understand, since it can't be realized, then why do the people of Taiping Dao still say it? ”

Su Xiu didn't answer immediately, but looked around and asked, "Is there any of you who can answer this question for Guan Hai?" ”

At this time, the former military lawyer surnamed He thought for a while and said, "My lord, let me tell me what I think, I don't know if what I said is right." ”

Su Xiu gave him an encouraging look and motioned for him to continue, and then he spoke: "I think so, the reason why Taiping Dao wants to use this unfulfillable wish to motivate the people should be because of his deeper purpose, plus they have been buying people's hearts, so I think they ...... They ......"

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't say anything more when he thought of that bold possibility, and stared at Su Xiu with a panicked expression.

"It's okay, what do you think they want to do?"

"My lord, my subordinates think they ...... They may rebel! ”

Immediately, everyone present, except for Su Xiu and Xi Zhicai, stared at Jun Sima surnamed He with wide eyes.

"He Wang, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, it's going to lose your head." A military officer next to him shouted and asked, but his eyes kept blinking. Obviously, this military Sima has a good relationship with He Wang, and he doesn't want him to lose his official position or even lose his life because of random speculation.

"Don't panic, the current behavior of Taiping Road is indeed suspicious, but we can't do anything, what we can do is to eliminate the hidden danger."

"My lord, what are we going to do? Send troops to destroy them? ”

Su Xiu shook his head and said, "It's a good thing for people to draw talismans and apply medicine now, so why exterminate people?" Now we just say that they may rebel, we just need to be prepared, once they do rebel, we can suppress it in time, and try not to let the chaos harm the people of Taishan. ”

"My lord, can we just wait?"

"Of course not, what we have to do now is to make the life of the people of Mount Tai live well, let them have enough food, let them meet the current life, then Mount Tai will not be able to mess up.

So what everyone has to do now is to quickly improve their combat power, destroy the bandits, and return the people to a stable Mount Tai. ”

"In addition, today's guess is clear to everyone, don't talk about it everywhere, firstly, it is to calm the hearts of the army and the people, and secondly, everyone has a tight bowstring in their hearts, so that they can better train soldiers."

"Obey your orders!"

"Guan Hai, I'm very satisfied with your strength, would you be willing if I asked you to protect the military division?"

"Don't worry, unless Guan Hai is dead, you will never let the military advisor be hurt in the slightest, otherwise military law will be engaged!"

"Okay, I'll hand over Zhicai to you, if there is anything wrong with the military advisor, I'll ask you. In addition, letting you follow the military advisor also wants you to learn more from the military advisor to arrange troops, so that you can be independent in the future, do you understand? ”

Guan Hai's heart suddenly rose with infinite gratitude, from punishing corrupt officials to attaching importance to promotion, Su Xiu's intentional or unintentional actions made Guan Hai make up his mind to swear allegiance.

The generals on the side heard that Su Xiu promoted Guan Hai like this, and they couldn't help but be envious in their hearts, they could follow the military advisor, not to mention the rest, there would be a lot more opportunities to see the county guard.

"You don't have to envy others, I asked you to step up military training to prepare for the suppression of bandits before the winter, and when the military achievements are great, what do you want?"

When everyone heard that they would suppress bandits before winter, they suddenly felt full of enthusiasm in their hearts. After all, after so many years, I have been despised by the bandits and ridiculed by the people, and I am holding back a breath of anger in my heart. Now it's finally time to earn back face, and everyone is ready to do a big job.

Su Xiu is still very satisfied with today's selection, and Guan Hai is even more of an unexpected surprise. After encouraging everyone, he took Xi Zhicai, Guan Hai and Yu Ban back to the county guard mansion together.

On the way, Xi Zhicai asked: "Lord, is the doctrine of Taiping Dao really what I just said?" ”

"Yes, I don't have to lie to you. These things don't stand up to scrutiny, and it's easy to see as long as you can stand on the outside. But most of the ordinary people don't even know the words, and now that they are in a puzzle, I am afraid that they will be carried by the Taiping Road when the time comes, which will make it more difficult for us to quell the chaos. ”

"Then it seems that our policy of benefiting the people is speeding up. Only when the people live well will they not join the rebellion of Taiping Dao. Without the participation of the people, then Taishan County will be as stable as Mount Tai. but wept for the people of other places. ”

"Step by step, we don't have that many people in mind now. Once the Taiping Road is in trouble, then the entire Han Dynasty will be difficult to stop, and the troubled times are coming. ”

"My lord, why didn't you report it to the court?" Yu Ban actually wanted to ask early on, but after all, there were many people before, and this question was still relatively sensitive anyway, and people with a heart couldn't take the opportunity to make trouble.

"Wen Ze, things are not as simple as you think, let's not say that we are just speculating, even if the evidence is conclusive, the imperial court will not really attach much importance to it, but will most likely let us send troops to quell the chaos. In this way, if the root cause of the trouble cannot be stopped, it will still cause trouble again in the future, and the brothers will be exhausted and lose their lives in vain. ”
