Chapter 287: Dart Game (Part II)
Listening to Guo Bin's words, Liu Bi's heart moved at that time, and he leaned over and said: "This is indeed a good idea, but if someone really doesn't open their eyes, how can it be good?" ”
Guo Bin grabbed Zhang Fei, who was about to get angry, and said lightly: "If there is really such an eye-opening, I Guo Bin still has elite soldiers and fierce generals, and I can't say that this quick knife that has slashed Xianbei Dashan Yu Helian will see blood again!" ”
Although Guo Bin said these words with a smile, it made people feel more and more Sen Han's murderous aura. Guo Bin is good-hearted, willing to plan for the people, and cherishes human life, which is well known to the world; And the soldiers under Guo Bin dare to fight and fight, and their combat effectiveness is amazing, and they are also famous all over the world. This prestige is all caused by the 600 cavalry bravely entering the 200,000 Yellow Turban joint camp, going to Guangzong alone, the Xiongnu royal court angrily beheading the Qiang envoys, and the Xianbei Dashan Yu and Lian, which are all over the world one by one. This prestige is much more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than the titles and official positions awarded by the imperial court.
Zhang Fei's annoyance He knew that Guo Bin's status was by no means ordinary now, and it was a big face to be able to negotiate with Liu Bi so softly. But Liu Bi chattered endlessly, and he didn't agree happily, asking questions really made Zhang Yide, who was anxious, angry. However, Guo Bin also has his own plans, this is a long-term deal, and Guo Bin will still have a place to use them in the future. Therefore, the more things are explained, the more the various interests are clear, and the more the buyer and seller can do it for a long time. If he relies on his identity to coerce Liu Bi, I am afraid that there will be unpredictable troubles in the future.
At that time, Taiping Dao had a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, Zhang Jiao overthrew the Eastern Han Dynasty in one fell swoop in order to cause trouble, and recruited manpower. At that time, I wished that half of the entire rivers and lakes were the world of Taipingdao.
Liu Pi is one of Zhang Jiao's eight disciples, and he has won Zhang Jiao's trust and respect, needless to say, his martial arts are high, and he is also close to Bocai, Ma Yuanyi and the like, compared to Chu Yan, who is good at running and has excellent skills, he is still a line higher, which is all obtained after these few days of learning. At the beginning, Zhang Jiao released his eight disciples and five hundred apprentices to spread the Taiping Tao to all parts of the world and recruit people.
Liu Pi is mostly active in the Huaishui and Yangtze River areas, and his water nature is excellent, so he has the nickname of the mixed river dragon. Even now, the nickname of Liu Pi, the dragon of the mixed river, has been raised, and he has a lot of face in the rivers and lakes.
Guo Bin's plan was for Liu Bi to take his brothers to settle down in Yangzhai County, and then set up an organization similar to the later dart bureau.
Although the dart board is an organization that collects money from people and uses force to protect people's property or personal safety, it does not rely solely on force. In the line of the dart bureau, in addition to being strong in martial arts, he still relies on a big face, a wide range of hands, and a good person. If it is really like Tang Seng going to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, the casualty rate alone will discourage the darts heads, not to mention the huge settlement costs caused by casualties.
And Liu Pi has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, with a deep background, familiar people, a big face, and high martial arts, if he uses his name to open up the trade routes along the line one by one, although he has to give these green forest heroes a little food every year, but the cost of transporting materials in Yingchuan County has been saved.
This account is very easy to calculate, if a large number of guards follow each time the goods are delivered, then in the long run, these guards will naturally have to be professional. These professional martial artists, just raising them, the cost is incalculable. What's more, if you want to raise a martial artist, it is not Guo Bin who will raise it. The major wealthy families in Yingchuan, each family has its own family's nursing home, each family has its own business, and the time of departure and transportation of each family's business is also different, so only each family pays their own money to raise a martial artist to guard the caravan.
Although this has reduced the cost of raising soldiers in Yingchuan County in the short term, it will undoubtedly make the major wealthy families have professional private soldiers, and with private soldiers, they will be more hardened when they speak, and it is easy to disobey Guo Bin's greetings. This is the same as the decentralization of power between the central and local governments, and if the power of the major wealthy families is sufficient, Guo Bin's power will naturally be weakened, and the situation in which he is the only one in Yingchuan County will gradually disappear. In this troubled world, the reduction of power, especially military power, and the loss of absolute control over his subordinates is undoubtedly a political disaster for every leader.
And if Guo Bin established such an unheard of organization as the Dart Bureau, and used his semi-official and semi-civilian status to win over heroes from all over the world, and pay a little food in exchange for the safety of the trade route, this is simply a very easy deal. Moreover, the establishment of such an organization should also be carried out under the banner of benefiting the country and the people, as long as all merchants jointly raise funds and come up with a small amount of food, they can ensure the safety of the trade routes, and there is no need to organize their own troops to protect the caravans. The cost of protecting the caravan is also extremely high, and very few people from good families are willing to get this messenger to protect the caravan, because the average wealthy family does not have such a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, and if they kill all the way, the casualty rate will be as high as the sky. In addition, training bankers is not only costly, but also time-consuming, where is the convenience of directly entrusting the dart board?
Isn't the progress of human society reflected in the specialization of personnel and a more detailed division of labor?
However, something too deep, Guo Bin didn't explain it clearly to Liu Pi, there was no need, and he told him, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to figure out the crooked and intertwined complex relationship in the officialdom. Guo Bin made Liu Pi understand only three points: first, Guo Bin can properly place the more than 1,000 men under Liu Bi and give them an innocent background; second, Liu Pi wanted to provoke the big beam of the dart game, taking advantage of his wide head and big face to protect the trade routes; Third, behind Liu Bi, with Guo Bin as a strong backing, there is only one end for resistance.
Of course, in addition, Guo Bin also has a lot to say. Such a semi-official and semi-civilian force may exist for a long time, and when the whole country is unified and stabilized, it is inevitable to wipe out the bandits and green forests entrenched in various places, and at that time, this force may have other uses. However, these don't need to be explained clearly to Liu Bi, Guo Bin's intelligent people are innumerable, and it is not too difficult to erect Liu Bi into a tablet, let's take a step at a time.
Of course, for such a deep matter, although Liu Bi has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, he has no time to think about it. At present, what he and Huang Shao are happy about is that there are more than 1,000 people in the cottage, and they finally have a thigh hug, no matter what difficulties they encounter from then on, in short, they don't have to go hungry anymore. To tell the truth, being a thief and doing Liu Pi's role is indeed extremely faceless. However, it is this lack of face that makes Guo Bin respect Liu Pi more and more.
An ordinary person, law-abiding, honest and honest, this is nothing to say, although it is indeed not a bad person, but it is not to the extent of respect. When a person holds unbridled power, even the power of life and death, if he can still keep a clear head and not abuse his power, he is worthy of respect. And the most worthy of people's respect is that an ordinary person with no power and no power suddenly gets unimaginable power, but he can still be sober-minded and act fairly, that is really an extraordinary person who can achieve great things.
An ordinary person abides by the law, that is because he does not have the ability to destroy, but a person with great power abides by the law, that is a noble personality and amazing self-control. The so-called absolute power corrupts people absolutely, and this is the truth.
Take, for example, the afterlife. Before becoming president, even if he played with the arrogant temper of a cowboy, it was just a big bald shave for his opponent; And once he becomes president, the consequences of his tantrum may be a trade war that will affect the global situation. Today, the president who has gone on a drunken rampage on the international political stage and vividly portrayed the scoundrel, ferocity, and untrustworthiness of the western cowboy is a living example.
This style of throwing all the masks of hypocrisy on the ground and stepping on them a few more times has also made the barbaric and scoundrel Western rural style of the Protestants who were abandoned by the so-called civilized society of the West have been well inherited.
Thinking of this, Guo Bin couldn't help but sigh and admire the political wisdom inherited by his ancestors for thousands of years. Compared with the so-called democratically elected system in the West, where a successful businessman or a successful parliamentarian has risen to the leader who rules the entire country, the promotion system created by our ancestors seems to be more in line with Guo Bin's appetite.
"Han Feizi" said: "Therefore, the officials of the Ming Lord, the prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce generals must be sent to the army." In the "New Tang Dynasty Book", there is also a saying: "The assassin history is the third duke, and the Lang official is slaughtered for a hundred miles", which is actually a principle of China's official appointment system from ancient times to the present.
From ancient times to the present, if the promotion of officials is smooth, most of them start from the central or local level, and then gradually promote, from the county order to the county guard, from the county guard to the state pastor, and from the state minister to the cabinet minister. And once there is a person who directly serves as a high-ranking official, he will be called a "lucky person". This is an inevitable phenomenon of the mature official promotion system, just like the college entrance examination, in addition to the top students who are admitted to prestigious schools by relying on the combined scores of each subject, there are also occasional eccentrics who are exceptionally selected because of their unique talents.
However, it is this system that has continued to this day, and even the highest-ranking Zhengguo-level officials in modern times have risen from below little by little. When these officials in our country are promoted to the provincial and ministerial level, the population under their jurisdiction will generally reach tens of millions, or even more than 100 million. In this respect alone, its authority has even reached or even surpassed that of some European powers such as Britain, Germany, and France.
Therefore, the leaders of the countries formed under this system of our ancestors are undoubtedly extremely advantageous in terms of political experience and responsibilities compared with Western leaders who suddenly changed from managing large corporations to presidents. Because even Walmart, the world's largest company, had only 2.2 million employees in 2017.
In Guo Bin's view, in the face of the so-called trade war in later generations, the smartest thing for ordinary people to do is to eat, drink, follow the boss, and strive to expand domestic demand, which is the best way for ordinary people to support the national war. For the rest, we have some of the best political minds in the world.
After listening to Guo Bin's explanation and analysis, Liu Pi said that he basically agreed, but after all, it involves the vital interests of the majority of brothers, and he is a big boss, and he can't take the idea privately regardless of the views of the brothers, so he needs to go back to the cottage to discuss with the brothers in the village.
Since Liu Bi has such a responsibility and such a conscience, it is impossible for Guo Bin to be too ugly in the future. After all, between Guo Bin and Liu Bi, in addition to politics and interests, there is also a relationship between Zhang Jiao.
