Chapter 082 The people are not happy, and the rebellion is justified
When Cai Yong saw Lu Bu again, his inner feelings were a little complicated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When the news of Lu Bu's army breaking Xianbei reached Jinyang, Cai Yong deeply admired Lu Bu's righteousness and bravery.
At the beginning, because of the eunuch's false accusation, Cai Yong was exiled to Anyang County, Wuyuan County, and he had seen the ferocity and barbarism of the Hu people in the border area with his own eyes, so he knew what the significance of Lu Bu's victory in maintaining the stability of the state was maintained.
In particular, Cai Yong was very excited by the poem "Out of the Stopper" that LΓΌ Bu made in Mayi, and he not only wrote the poem on expensive Zuo Bo paper in flying white font to commemorate it, but also sang LΓΌ Bu's poem while playing the piano.
Cai Yong's calligraphy and piano skills belong to the master level in this era.
When the news of Sun She's being killed and Sun's Dock Fort being breached reached the governor's mansion, Cai Yong was very puzzled by Lu Bu's approach. Obviously, he could deal with the case of the Sun family's extermination with a slightly milder method, but Lu Bu adopted the ruthless method of forcing Sun Shu to oppose him, didn't he know the consequences of being an enemy of the Hao family?
Cai Yong has a good impression of Lu Bu, so he plans to persuade Lu Bu.
At the banquet for Lu Bu to see him off, Cai Yong said: "Feng Xian is young and vigorous, wise and brave, and with more experience in the future, he will definitely become a pillar of the country." β
Lu Bu hurriedly said modestly: "Shangshu Liao praised, Bu just tried his best to do things, lest he be inconsiderate." β
After Cai Yong praised Lu Bu, the next thing was tactful criticism. "This time Jinyang Sun Shu instigated the rebellion of the county soldiers, which should not have happened. The Tiance Army has only been established in Bingzhou for a few months, and the Taishou of a county died unexpectedly, and it is not very good for your reputation to spread out. β
Lu Bu knew that Cai Yong was a good man, no matter what he said or did, he would save some face, although Cai Yong's words were tactful, it still showed that he was a little dissatisfied with Lu Bu's handling of the Jinyang Sun family.
There is a saying called "the rabbit dies and the fox is sad", Cai Yong is also a scholar, and seeing the Sun family fall apart in an instant, it is inevitable that he will have some thoughts in his heart.
Not only Cai Yong, Chen Gong and Huang Yi and others, but also from the Shi clan, although they did not speak, they must also want to know Lu Bu's attitude towards the Shi clan.
Lu Bu pondered for a moment, and said with a sincere face: "I myself have no hatred for the Shi clan, and I can understand the practice of the family building the dock fort, my grandfather, parents, wife and daughter are now living in the dock fort on the outskirts of Jiuyuan County, if there is no dock fort as a shelter, I am afraid that they will already meet the unexpected." The scholars are the elite of the Han Dynasty, and because of the inheritance of family education, the scholars have cultivated generations of pillars and talents for the country's society. However, I want to ask all the monarchs here, the ancestors of the rank were princes and nobles before Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? β
Everyone shook their heads, and no one had the cheekiness to say that their ancestors were princes and nobles.
Lu Bu continued: "Without Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rise up in Daze Township, there would be no later Gaozu White Snake Uprising. And who are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? It is the slavery of hired laborers of low status and status! Six years ago, the Yellow Turban Incident and the turmoil in Bazhou have not stopped so far, which has greatly damaged the vitality of the Han Dynasty. What is the identity of Brother Zhang Jiao and others? It's just a god stick who goes through the state and county! β
"I say this to remind you that ordinary people are like flowing water to the country's society, which can carry and overturn boats. If the wealthy family does not care about the life and death of the lower class people and only cares about the interests of the family, it will lead to the creation and death of a large number of displaced people. In the beginning, when the displaced people were forced to leave, the wealthy families could get the land of the commoners, further expanding the interests of the family. However, in the long run, who will cultivate the vast amount of land obtained by the annexation? β
"What's more dangerous is that after the wealthy family develops to a strong enough level, the official decree cannot be issued normally, and the taxes that should be collected cannot be collected, so the imperial court decays and is unable to support the army, and then the wealthy family evolves into a family gatekeeper, attacking and fighting with each other under various banners! You might as well look back, in two or three years, how many self-respecting valves will appear in these Han states! β
"Warlords fighting each other will inevitably lead to more displacement, more land desolation, and more people dying from famine and pestilence. When a dozen warlords, large and small, have survived decades of melee, and the most powerful ones remain, they still have to kill each other. At this time, how many people are left in Tianxia Prefecture? In my guess, there is not one in ten! β
"When the Han people were busy fighting each other, if a male lord appeared on the grassland in the north and ruled the grassland, and then when the Han people were not left with one out of ten, he would be killed from the grassland, who would be able to resist at that time? If the Wuhuan people in Liaodong, the Xianbei people in the north, the Xiongnu people in the south, the Qianghu people in the northwest, the Nanban people in the southwest of Yizhou, the Wuxi barbarians in the south of Jingzhou, and the Baiyue people in the south of Huiji invaded together and besieged the Han people from different directions, would the Han people still survive at that time? β
On the seats, Cai Yong, Ding Yuan, Huang Yi, Zhang Yang, Chen Gong and others held their breath and listened to Lu Bu's deduction with serious faces.
Some of the things that Lu Bu said are happening all over Dahan.
For example, the wealthy families are frantically building dock forts and recruiting private soldiers.
For example, time and time again, the displaced people rebelled and rebelled, and then died tragically, and finally large tracts of arable land were deserted.
For example, the Xianbei people in the north continued to test the south, and the Qianghu people in Liangzhou continued to kill officials and rebel.
Lu Bu did not say which warlords would be produced, but everyone was not stupid, thinking about the things that Yuan Shao and the two brothers did in Hanoi and Nanyang, they knew that the situation of warlord melee was brewing and forming.
Lu Bu opened his mouth again and broke the silence of the banquet with a conclusion.
"The Sun family is repairing the dock fort, slaughtering Fenggui's family of five, forcing away hundreds of civilians nearby, if this wind is not curbed, how many will there be left in the future? I took the children of the commoners to fight to the death against the Xianbei people in Mayi, is it to defend a national thief like the Sun family? My reason is actually very simple, the people are not happy, and the rebellion is justified! If the wealthy family doesn't give the common people a chance to live, I will stand up for them! β
Lu Bu still had some words, but he didn't say them in his heart. For example, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Now, it's not time to say something like that.
Zhang Yang's background is somewhat similar to Lu Bu, neither a pure army, nor a pure scholar, he can best understand the meaning of the words "the people are not happy, and the rebellion is justified", in order to ease the atmosphere of the conversation, he said with a smile: "Feng Xian's meaning is very clear, he will not specifically target the scholars, but oppose the scholars to encroach on and annex the land of civilians by improper means." You are all Qingliu celebrities, your family is not rich, and the land you own is only enough to satisfy your stomach, and you have never done evil things such as cunning and plundering, so it is not contrary to Fengxian's proposition. β
Zhang Yang's words were cleverly said, not only for Lu Bu's round, but also for Cai Yong and others. Lu Bu knew Zhang Yang's intentions, so he smiled and said: "Let the cultivators have their fields and the dwellers have their houses, it is my greatest wish in this life. β
