Du Fugong stared at Chu Huan and asked solemnly: "What do you rely on if you want to get rid of the bandits and the Zhu Party?" He said very politely: "It is undeniable that adults are mentally resolute, whether it is wisdom or martial arts, they are extraordinary people, but what do adults have to compete with them now?" In addition to the position of the governor, there is also the golden sword given by the emperor to avoid death, and the adult has only two hundred guards...... Is it like relying on these to compete with the bandits and the Zhu Party? Du took the liberty of saying that with the current strength of adults, there is no way to even compete with Gao Lian's gang of foreign gentry! ”

Chu Huan knew what Du Fugong said, every fact, although he himself could be regarded as a martial artist, but in today's situation, his strength was too weak.

"The imperial court sent an adult, and he trusted him very much, but it does not show that the imperial court does not trust Zhu Lingyue." Du Fugong said slowly: "Zhu Lingyue is a hero in the eyes of the imperial court, and in the eyes of the people, he is a hero, when the war is in chaos, he is known as the governor of the three provinces, and his influence on the northwest will not disappear soon, so to deal with such a character, I can't be in a hurry, I can only slow ......down!" ”

Chu Huan smiled bitterly, he didn't want to sit in this position to participate in the battle in the northwest, but fate sent him to this position, but he had to hold on, he couldn't seize the initiative, he couldn't really grasp the power, so he could only let the mermaid flesh, and Chu Huan's least favorite thing was the feeling of being a mermaid.

"Mr. just said that in addition to the three must be removed, there are also three must be collected, but I don't know what this sauna dagger is about?" Chu Huan was silent for a while, and finally asked.

Du Fugong sat upright and said: "The three must be eliminated before, are the three mountains that are pressed on the heads of adults, if you want to move these three mountains, only with the current strength of adults, it is naturally difficult to climb to the sky, but this does not mean that adults can only sit and wait to die, on the contrary, the current situation in Xiguan seems to be chaotic, but it is very likely to achieve adults." ”

Chu Huan listened to Du Fugong's eloquent words, which was clear and coherent, and secretly admired in his heart, staring at Du Fugong and listening carefully.

"Du's so-called three must-receives, in the final analysis, are actually to collect the heart." Du Fu said fairly: "Three hearts receive one, this first heart, without Du Mou's words, is naturally the heart of the people in Xiguan." ”

Chu Huan immediately said: "The will of the people cannot be bullied, the will of the people cannot be violated, if you lose the will of the people, even if you have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, it will also be nothing." ”

"Your Excellency is wise." Du Fugong nodded and said: "The people of Xiguan are suffering, they need a pillar, this pillar must block the wind and rain for them, whoever can do it, their hearts will belong to whom, since the adults are now the governor of Xiguan, the people up and down Xiguan are naturally watching the adults, in fact, throughout the ages, this people's heart is the most difficult to collect, but it is the easiest to collect......!" ”

"Why does the gentleman say that?"

"Because throughout the ages, many people in power have wanted to win the hearts and minds of the people, but how many people have really done it?" Du Fugong sighed: "Power and glory, will always make people fall into it, human nature is selfish, it is rare to think of others, to be able to think of tens of millions of people, to put their interests in mind, that is even more rare, so the people are uncomfortable, but if everything is thought of putting the people first, let them be fed and clothed, and let them live a stable life, in fact, the people's will will inevitably want, which is extremely easy to close." ”

Chu Huan said: "In fact, the people don't want much, as Mr. said, if they can give birth with peace of mind, eat and clothe themselves, they will already be satisfied......!" ”

"As long as the adults can govern benevolently and put the people first, the people's hearts can always be collected, but they must be collected." Du Fugong raised his hand and raised two fingers, "This second must be collected, it is the local gentry of Xiguan." ”

Chu Huan raised his eyebrows, nodded and smiled: "At this point, I have thought that without the support of the local gentry, it is very difficult for the government to do things. ”

"The adults know in their hearts the importance of reining in the gentry, so Du won't say much." Du Fugong said with a smile: "But now it seems that the adults have the right time and place in the hearts of the gentry, the Xiguan gentry are now weak, and the Zhu Party and the foreign gentry are thinking of devouring them, this, the Xiguan gentry know that if they want to support it, they must have someone in the official mansion, and the adult is now the object they are looking forward to." Adults seem to have been kind to them, so they will be a great help to them in both public and private, and adults want to subdue them, but they can't control ......! ”

"Although many Xiguan gentry have fallen into ruin, and many families have become poor and white, the connections of Xiguan gentry in the state capitals and counties of Xiguan still exist, and their prestige is still there." Chu Huan touched his chin and said: "In my opinion, Gao Lian's group of foreign gentry entered Xiguan for a short time, and they have not yet formed contacts, and the local officials and people in Xiguan should be very repulsive to these outsiders. ”

Du Fugong laughed and said: "That's right, especially at this time, the Yamen of Shuoquan may not follow the orders of the adults, but as long as the Xiguan gentry can only look at the adults, then many of the adults' orders can still be implemented through the Xiguan gentry, as long as these people are used properly, they will definitely be the greatest help to the adults." After a pause, he didn't continue to speak, as if he was thinking about something, Chu Huan saw this, and couldn't help asking, "What is Mr. thinking?" ”

Du Fugong hesitated, wanted to speak and stopped, it seemed that some words were not easy to speak, Chu Huan knew that Du Fugong still had scruples, and said sincerely: "Mr. came to the northwest with Chu Huan all the way from the capital, you and I have been tied together, I respect Mr. and treat Mr. as his own family, and please don't have any scruples in front of Chu Huan, but think about it, although Chu Huan is not smart, he knows in his heart that what Mr. plans is for Chu Huan's good, so no matter what he says, I won't care." ”

Du Fugong sighed and said: "Adults are open-minded, and they have always treated Du with courtesy, Du's life was also saved by adults at the beginning, and the so-called scholars died for their confidants. ”

Chu Huan smiled mildly and nodded vigorously.

"Actually, Du wants to say that although the seven surnames of Xiguan take the initiative to take refuge in adults, it does not mean that they really regard adults as their own." Du Fugong said slowly: "The so-called gentry, the people call it a local tyrant, is a local wealthy family, can be called a gentry, their family has been in the local area for at least three generations, and the local wealthy family is integrated, with a strong network, for the gentry everywhere, they value the region the most." After a pause, he explained: "It's like Xiguan Road and Beishan Road, in the eyes of the Xiguan Road gentry, Beishan Road is an outsider, and the gentry of Beishan Road want to integrate into Xiguan and be accepted by the Xiguan gentry, unless he migrates to Xiguan and establishes a stronger relationship with the Xiguan gentry, and after several generations, he can be truly regarded as his own by Xiguan...... This time, Gao Lian and other foreign gentry entered Xiguan to buy land and land, if it weren't for the catastrophe that Xiguan had experienced, the Xiguan gentry themselves had not been relieved, and with the help of the Zhu Party, this was simply unimaginable in the past......! ”

Chu Huan said: "I understand that if there is no such a catastrophe, such a large influx of foreign gentry into Xiguan, the gentry and wealthy families in Xiguan will inevitably unite to drive them out, but then again, if it weren't for the Xiguan gentry who suffered a heavy blow, Gao Lian would not have had the courage to pour into Xiguan ......!" ”

"Du said this, just to tell the adults that they are now taking refuge in adults, just because they need adults to protect them, in fact, although the gentry in Xiguan have suffered heavy losses, but they are deeply rooted in Xiguan and have smooth connections, as long as time passes, it is not very difficult to recover." Du Fu said fairly: "If adults want them to do things for you sincerely, there is only one way, and that is to become what they call their own people......!" ”

"Your own people?" Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "Mr. said that if they want to treat me as their own, they will have to go through at least several generations of integration ......!" ”

"My lord didn't understand, I'm not making you a gentry of Xiguan." Du Fugong explained: "The status of adults is here, naturally different from ordinary outsiders, adults want to stabilize the relationship with them, let them treat you as their own, in fact, there is a shortcut, this shortcut is enough to ensure that they see you as their own ......!" ”

Chu Huan frowned slightly and asked, "What is the shortcut for sir?" ”

Du Fugong sighed, groaned slightly, and finally said, "Marriage!" ”

"Marriage?" Chu Huan was stunned.

Du Fugong was a little embarrassed and said: "This is just the best way for Du to get along at the moment, this ......!" Thinking that Chu Huan already had a vegetarian mother, as a servant of the Chu family, he persuaded the master to marry another marriage behind his wife's back, although it was for the sake of the overall situation, Du Fugong still felt a little uneasy.

Chu Huan's eyes rolled slightly, and then he suddenly burst out laughing, Du Fugong was stunned, seeing Chu Huan like this, he didn't know why Chu Huan suddenly laughed for a while.

Chu Huan was stunned when he saw Du Fugong, and hurriedly said: "What Mr. said is very true, don't hide it from Mr., in fact...... In fact, I really have a marriage, and I have a deep relationship with the seven surnames of Xiguan! ”

Du Fugong said curiously: "What do you mean? ”

Chu Huan said shyly: "Don't hide it, sir, in addition to Su Niang, I also have a wife in Yunshan, who has already made a marriage contract, but she hasn't ......married yet!" Thinking of Linlang who was far away in Yunshan, my heart was filled with warmth, "My mother died, there should be no red things within two years, the two-year period is not far away, and when the time comes, I will marry her!" After a pause, he said with a smile: "Mr. should have heard of her, she is the owner of He Shengquan!" ”

Du Fugong knew that Chu Huan was very well-connected in Yunshan Mansion, and he and Sheng Quan opened a branch in the capital, and Du Fugong handled this matter, knowing that Chu Huan had a good relationship with Yunshan and Shengquan's owner, but he didn't know that Chu Huan and Linlang had already made a private agreement for life, in fact, there were not many people who knew about it, at this time Chu Huan suddenly said, but Du Fugong still couldn't understand it.

"Mr. doesn't know, Linlang's ancestral home is Xiguan Yuezhou, and it is a branch of the Su family, one of the seven surnames in Xiguan." Chu Huan explained: "His father entered the customs and did business in his early years, although he has passed away, Linlang is still a member of the Su family. ”

Du Fugong is so smart, he understood the reason in an instant, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There is a cause and there must be an effect, and the good causes that adults take will now produce good results." The Su Dong family has a marriage contract with the adult, so forming an in-law with the Su Dong family is also marrying the Su family, so that the adult is equivalent to the son-in-law of the Xiguan gentry, with this relationship, they will naturally regard the adult as their own. ”

Chu Huan said with a straight face: "I married Linlang only because I fell in love with her and loved each other, not for other reasons." ”

Du Fugong smiled: "This is natural, in fact, this is a great good thing, I was worried that the marriage between the adult and the Xiguan gentry will make the adult embarrassed, but now since there is this marriage, it is really a great joy, this marriage, in the public and private, will become a good story!" ”
