Chapter Forty-Eight: The Opposite

"So, I'm going to do the opposite!" Liu Yi saw that the two of them had almost digested their words, so he eagerly watched them sonorous and powerful.

"How do you do the opposite? I'd like to hear about it! Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai sincerely look forward to Liu Yi's next article.

After listening to Liu Yi's analysis, they all felt that it made a lot of sense, in the current court, in addition to the ten permanent servants, which of those relatives and officials is a good person? In fact, they are also some people who are vying for power and profit, when will they really think about the big man? Who really has the heart to reorganize the dynasty and revitalize the Han Dynasty?

These eunuchs, relatives and ministers, who is really thinking about the Han people? Tian Feng remembers very well that in recent years, the Han Dynasty has been plagued by many disasters, with foreign rebellions invading the Han border, several major states in China, floods in the south and droughts in the north, earthquakes, locust plagues, and plague epidemics. A series of disasters have made the people of Dahan miserable, and the people's minds are in turmoil, and there is the disaster of the yellow turban.

Tian Feng, as an imperial official, was the first to receive reports from officials all over the world, which was almost equivalent to really watching these things happen. However, every time in the court to discuss the allocation of grain to relieve the disaster, those eunuchs, relatives and ministers jumped out one by one to oppose it, they will always have a variety of reasons, against the appropriation of funds to buy grain, even if they have to agree, they will try their best to rush in, to supervise the famous words of inspection, from which to make a lot of money.

The crows in the middle of the court are dark, even if it is as Liu Yi said, if the eunuchs are really eradicated, will the court really be able to reorganize the dynasty? Obviously, this is impossible, so Tian Feng unconsciously agreed with Liu Yi's words.

And Xi Zhicai, he has always lived among the people, although he doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, but as a member of the people who live hard, he also deeply knows that the situation that has caused the decline of the Han court today is not only the responsibility of the eunuchs, but also the responsibility of those relatives and ministers. Therefore, he very much agreed with what Liu Yi said, and even felt that what Liu Yi said was to the point.

At such a young age, Liu Yi was able to have such a clear and clear analysis of the Han court, and Xi Zhicai's heart couldn't help but admire it. He felt that listening to Liu Yi's analysis was more realistic and thorough than the rhetoric of those so-called celebrities.

"First of all, we have to understand one thing, whether it is a eunuch, a relative, or a minister in the court, they should not dare to be unfavorable to the emperor, right? Actually, they don't dare, so there is no problem with the emperor's safety. In this way, it doesn't matter if you can't clear the king's side, anyway, if you clear it, it is equivalent to not clearing, in this case, why do we still have to do these useless work? Moreover, the so-called Qingjun side, if you don't get it right, everyone will lose their heads. Liu Yi said slowly while thinking about the wording.

"Well, then we can't do nothing, can we?" Tian Feng asked a little impatiently.

"Hehe, of course we can't do nothing, not only to do it, but also to do a big job, we don't care about the affairs of the DPRK, and we don't want to think about reviving the DPRK or something. What we have to do is to go straight to the people! ”

"Ruler of the people? What does this do? ”

"Let us take care of the people's bread, their food, their drink, and their production!" Liu Yiyi said excitedly: "The people have nothing to eat, we send them food, no clothes to wear, we buy them and make them for them!" If you don't live in it, we build it for them! As long as we lead them to engage in production and grow a large amount of grain with peace of mind, I believe that it will not be long before the people will become rich and the country will be strong! ”

Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai's minds didn't turn for a while, and they were a little stunned when they heard Liu Yi finish speaking. After a long time, Tian Feng patted his forehead and said, "Uh...... Brother Liu, it seems more difficult for you to say this, right? There are thousands of people in the world, where do we have so much food for them to eat? Where are the clothes? What kind of living, engaged in production, where do you start! It's hard, it's hard! ”

"Haha, things are man-made, therefore, this is a hard and long-term goal, the direction of struggle." Liu Yi laughed twice and said: "Whether it is to eliminate traitors, to clean the monarch's side, or to reorganize the dynasty, in the end, it is all about making the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment?" The people have food, work hard, learn less, and support the old! This is my ideal life for the people, anyway, in the end, it is all for the people, so we should start from the people, and don't have to worry about the court or the court. ”,

"The people have food, work hard, learn from the young, and support the old!" The two of them listened with their eyes lit up and murmured unconsciously.

"Of course, these things are not urgent, we can only come step by step, first choose a place, concentrate financial resources, manpower and material resources, and settle the people in a place, and the people in this area, if there is no way to live anymore, we will send them food and clothing, and then help them settle down, give them some fields to cultivate, so that within three or five years, these people can become rich, right? We will do it one place at a time, believing that one day, the people of the world will be able to support themselves with their own hands, and at that time, we will be done. Liu Yi smiled and drew a blueprint to the two.

Hehe, concentrating financial resources, manpower and material resources, this seems to be the first practice at the beginning of the reform tide in later generations, and Liu Yi feels that it is also applicable to this era. After talking so much to the two, the most important thing is that they want them to help themselves build a base, only if they have their own base, then a lot of the later knowledge in the encyclopedia in the mobile phone can be used, for example, if you want to make gunpowder, airplanes, cannons or something, can you not have a base?

"This is a ...... of financial and material resources Financial resources? Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai said happily almost at the same time: "You, you mean the 200,000 taels of silver you got from Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo?" ”

"Well, this is only part of it, I am still staying in Luoyang, just trying to find a way to get more money from the hands of those corrupt officials, I believe there will be a way, as long as we have money, are you afraid that we will not be able to do anything?"

"Yes, yes, if there is a way to make those corrupt officials in the court spit out some silver, it would be the best, listening to Brother Liu Yi, I think it is a little feasible, no matter what, it is also a merit to benefit the people of one party and one place." Tian Feng nodded fiercely.

"Feasible! If you have money, it's easy to do things, I don't know where you chose the location, Liu Yi? I want to start right away. Xi Zhicai was also a little anxious to know where Liu Yi chose the place.

Seeing that they had almost understood, Liu Yi agreed with his idea, and couldn't help but smile gloomily in his heart, and changed his words: "Don't be in a hurry when choosing a place in advance, don't forget what I said in Zhangfu, except for traitors, first stabilize your feet, and say that if you want to be steady, your fists must be hard." ”

"What's the point? Are these connected? ”

"Sure, the traitors have to be eliminated in the end, otherwise, if we don't get rid of the traitors, they won't let us go. You can think about it, if we make a place better, will those traitors and corrupt officials not be blushing? Why don't you do it? Even if they don't come, won't they come to rob robbers and thieves in the world today? Liu Yi said, suddenly patted the dwarf in front of him hard, and said in an undoubted tone: "So, we not only have to get enough money in Luoyang, but also recruit troops!" We must have an army, an army that can keep the place where we are developing! ”

Liu Yi's words about recruiting troops shocked Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai, and they were speechless for a long time.

It was only now that they understood why Liu Yi had been so cautious when he brought them into this attic and asked if he really wanted to hear it, and why he had to say something that might kill the two of them.

To be honest, if Liu Yi hadn't told them so much, they might have suspected that Liu Yi had bad intentions, even if they didn't think so, but today's imperial court strictly controls private soldiers, and private ownership of the army is not allowed, even if it is the officers and soldiers of the local government, there are strict requirements for the number of soldiers, and it is not allowed to exceed a certain number of soldiers and horses. If Liu Yi had said so at the beginning, maybe Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai might have retreated because they were afraid.

The order to allow the righteous men of the world to privately recruit volunteers in order to defeat the Yellow Turban Thieves was only temporary, and it has now been canceled, and after the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, the righteous army has almost disbanded. Just one recruiting soldiers and horses is enough to cut off the heads and exterminate the nine clans, who dares to recruit troops and horses privately now?

"I now have more than forty volunteers, they will do it with me, more than ten miles west of the city, that is, the barracks where Lord Zhang Jun placed the wounded soldiers of the righteous army, there are more than 500 wounded soldiers, of which more than 300 are only slightly injured, and they can be recruited when the time comes." Liu Yi didn't wait for the two of them to come back to their senses, and continued to say with a calm face: "These hundreds of people are far from enough, at least one thousand to two thousand people must be recruited, Mr. Xi, I want to ask you to be the military advisor of this army, I will find another person to train those volunteers, since they are soldiers, they must be able to fight, and they want elite soldiers." ”

Xi Zhicai saw Liu Yi call his name, glanced at Tian Feng, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Alas, I seem to have a feeling of getting on a thief ship, you have said this, do I have a way out?" If you can't make a fuss, I'm really going to let you kill me...... Okay, I'll do it! ”

"Hehe, anyway, I'm leaving it here, make your own choice, of course, I'm joking with you, of course I won't kill you. If you don't agree to do it with me, then I can only leave Luoyang immediately, for fear that you will tell me. Liu Yi also said with a wry smile.

"So, what should I do?" Tian Feng saw that Liu Yi didn't talk about him, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Tian, don't be an official in the court, resign, anyway, you do those things in the palace to send and receive letters, and it also buries your talents, and where we develop in the future, you are the highest administrative officer, and you are in charge of the size of the affairs."

A military advisor and an administrative officer should also be their best aspects.
