Du Rui sat in the pavilion, looking out of the pavilion, on the field, half of the green seedlings, half of the muddy fields that had been ploughed.

He sat alone in the pavilion, sitting on the ground, the ground was still a little dirty straw mat, and the table in front of him was also the one that Liu Cheng had used, but the original meal on the table had been removed.

There was only a pot of tea and a teacup on the table.

Green smoke curled up before his eyes.

Outside the pavilion, Yue Chong and a few guards stood aside, some clan elders of Liujiazhuang stood on both sides, standing there respectfully, and a gray-haired elder was whispering about the local situation.

In the fields, those ordinary people have not stopped farming, they are still busy, but the speed of movement is much slower than in the morning, and from time to time someone looks up at this side, their eyes are inevitably curious.

That's His Royal Highness King Zhao!

Emperor's Honor!

The entire Handan County is his fiefdom, in the eyes of these ordinary people, His Royal Highness King Zhao can decide the life and death of everyone with his words, they don't know what blessings they have accumulated in their previous lives, so they are fortunate to be able to meet Tianyan.

In fact, according to the meaning of the elders of Liujiazhuang, it is to invite His Royal Highness King Zhao of Weifu County to the village to entertain him, even if His Royal Highness King Zhao is busy with affairs and can't move the jade step, then he should decorate the pavilion with sophisticated utensils, so that His Royal Highness King Zhao can sit comfortably in it, and let them serve the nobles well.

Of course, these ideas of theirs were all vetoed by Du Rui.

Those croppers have not been dismissed, but let them do their own things, no need to pay a big salute, and there is no need to be cautious, and Xu Xinyan, who was traveling with Du Rui, also used the local dialect of Handan to communicate with those croppers, saying some short gossip in the parents.

Xu Xinyan's identity is Du Rui's guide, a native of Handan.

In the face of the nobleman's questioning, those farmer men trembled one by one, but they had to reply, even the most courageous people were spitting, and their voices were as small as mosquitoes, like a slurred stammer.

A month ago, Zheng Cheng also traveled to the county in the name of Handan Juncheng.

Du Rui is also in Xingxian, but the two methods are completely different, and the social classes of the people he comes into contact with are also very different.

Zheng Chengxing County has a fanfare, with a gorgeous frame, with hundreds of guards, but also with a lot of staff, every time, the first thing is to deal with the local officials, ask about the other party's governance measures, learn about the local government's inventory, personnel power, administrative power, financial power, etc., in addition, they will meet with the local wealthy families, communicate with each other.

This is a very orthodox measure of governance.

In ancient China in Du Rui's previous life, during the Wei and Jin dynasties, and during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the family gate was the foundation of the ruling class, and in this world, it is even more serious, and it is completely the cornerstone.

Therefore, there are not many families that are stable and unstable in a regime and rely on their support.

If the local government wants to govern, if it does not have the support of the local wealthy people, all the government decrees and regulations can only be put on paper and cannot be implemented.

Take Handan County as an example, as long as it has the support of the Li family of Zhao County, the government decrees and regulations will be unimpeded, and without the support of the Li family, no one will be able to do a good job in the post of county guard.

In the pre-Han period, in order to suppress the strong and powerful, the officials can use force to eradicate it, although it will pay a certain price, but it can also temporarily curb the expansion of the family gate valve, to the Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu because of the power of the Hao family and ascended to the throne, the imperial power and the former Han Dynasty, its authority to decline a lot, the family gate valve can not be effectively contained, therefore, the centralized power of the Later Han Dynasty is insufficient.

At that time, if you want to curb the rise of the Maison, you will pay a huge price.

The fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty Yellow Turban Rebellion is one of the reasons, before the family gate valve and the eunuch relatives on behalf of the imperial power of the struggle is also one of the reasons, when the Yellow Turban Uprising swept the north, in order to quell the chaos, the local gate valve wealthy family obtained the right to train troops, and when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and even abolished the emperor, the authority of the Liu royal family is gone.

The former Han Dynasty perished, and there was Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing.

The Later Han Dynasty perished, but the Shu Han was not caught, although Zhuge did his best, six out of Qishan, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, but in the end it also collapsed halfway, and then died, and Cao Pi in order to be the emperor, had to change Cao Cao's national policy, to win over the gate valve family, since then, the rise of the door valve family is difficult to contain.

Compared with different time and space, Du Rui's world has a high military existence, with strong personal force, the gate valve family is based on the inheritance of force, with its own armed forces, the central court wants to maintain centralized power, maintain the majesty of the royal family, it is even more difficult, so, the fight against the gate valve force is just accidental, most of the cases are mainly to win over.

This is the real emperor and the gate valve family share the world!

Under normal circumstances, Zheng Cheng's approach is right, dealing with a poor family like Du Rui, or even contacting ordinary people, is completely deviant.

If the government and the Guangping Liu family issue an order to the Huailin Liu family at the same time, if the order is the opposite direction, the Huailin Liu family will obey the orders of the Guangping side, and the decrees of the government and the court will not be taken seriously.

As for ordinary people, ordinary people without force are just tools!

Just like the ant family, there are queen ants and soldier ants, they are the upper class, and the worker ants who are responsible for finding food are just consumables, and in this world, ordinary people are just consumables.

In the world of Du Rui's previous life, there was no supernatural power, ordinary people used tools to create means of survival, and if they awakened, they would appear on the stage of history, although the class was slowly solidifying, it was not unbreakable.

Occasionally, there are still geniuses from humble backgrounds who jump out of the dragon gate and become masters.

In this world, there is no such good thing.

Princes and generals, rather have a kind!

This phrase does not work in this world.

In this world, although ordinary people are also creating the means of production, however, because of the existence of extraordinary powers, the truly valuable means of production are created and mastered by the transcendent, so that the development of the productive forces is not in the hands of ordinary people, they can only do some heavy things, and can only struggle to survive at the bottom of society forever.

With the existence of spells, rune arrays, and runes as energy sources, there is no basis for the existence of petrochemical steam power.

If you want to change this manor society, if you want to develop a large industry, it is basically difficult to go to the sky, after all, most of the energy base like Rune Stone is in the hands of the gate valve family, and the same is true of the magic circle that represents the productive forces, if the country wants to develop, unless those gate valve families contribute their own resources, and they do not have the middle brain disabled spell, they will naturally not agree.

Du Rui had to go this way.

Years ago, with the help of the will of this world, the torrent of humanity merged into the dragon qi, expelling the breath of the Lord of Deception and shielding it from the world.

However, that was not his own power.

After the breath of the void existence is removed, the torrent of humanity will disappear, and there will only be a faint trace of breath, and it will not be able to contact the will of the world as clearly as it was at that time, and the will of the world is like hiding behind an invisible membrane.

However, Du Rui has a sense.

He knew very well where that power came from.

Because he is a royal family, because of his title of King Zhao, because of the dragon qi obtained by the Yellow Dragon Secret Realm, in this way, he can carry the will of the world and use the torrent of humanity, however, whether it is the will of the world, the laws of heaven, or the torrent of humanity, it is not his own strength, it is impossible to drive it again and again, even if he only uses it once, he has paid the price.

The power of the laws of the Wandering Divine Text was deprived of him by the will of the world, which was more like some kind of exchange.

Of course, for Du Rui, this exchange is still good for him, and he knows the way he should go.

In order to be recognized by the will of the world, and even further grasp the laws of the world, he needs to master the torrent of humanity, in this way, he needs to be recognized and loyally loved by the vast majority of the people in the empire, and he needs to sit on the dragon chair, of course, sitting on the dragon chair is not the goal, but a way, only in this way can he have a name and a weapon, and he can gain the support of everyone.

If he sits in that position and is not recognized by the people, the empire is still as divided as it is now, and the imperial power is declining, then he is just another Du Zhen, just an emperor in vain.

That's his little goal, to sit in that position.

To reach that small goal, you have to accomplish more smaller goals.

First of all, he needs to consolidate his rule in Handan County, he needs to be recognized by more people, and he needs to do his best for the welfare of more people, after all, if you want to gain the trust of others, you have to give something.

He has the means to harness the power of this faith.

The Lord of Deception was banished, but the rule of equivalent exchange remained, similar to a ritual of sorts, which Du Rui mastered and could absorb the power of faith through conversion and transform it into a humane breath.

If the aura of humanity is fused with dragon qi, it will become his own power.

The great martial arts master broke through the sky because he was rejected by the laws of the world, and after touching the gate of heaven, he pushed open the gate of heaven and flew to the upper realm.

He took a different path, and was recognized by the laws of the world, and even further controlled the laws of the world, to the extent that I am the world and the world is me, and at that time, this world is his realm.

To do this, he first needs to be recognized by the vast majority of living beings in this world.

It's been a long road.

Du Rui chose to start from Xingxian.

No accumulation of steps can lead to thousands of miles......
