Chapter 235 Four or two thousand catties
Thinking of this, Yang Ke continued to take the school Liu Sandao: "Everyone in the world respects Zhang Liang for having both ability and political integrity, since he took office, he has quelled bandits and Xianbei rebellions, educated the locality, and lived with the people, and his political achievements are obvious to all." Pen, fun, and pavilion should be www.biquge.info worthy of the position. Moreover, the imperial court rewarded him with many high-ranking officials, and Zhang Liang also insisted on not accepting it, which shows that he is a person who is loyal to the country and does not care about personal interests, and it is also appropriate for the court to use him to guard Liangzhou. What does the problem you think, sir?"
Liu San looked at Yang Ke with his eyes for a moment, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and then he said solemnly: "Does the prince know a secret story about Zhang Dao?" ”
"What's the secret?"
"Although it was appointed by the imperial court to leave Liangzhou, it was actually the result of Zhang Liang's secret operation, and those powerful ministers back then were all blinded by him. Plotting to the west of the river was a decision made by Zhang Liang after thinking about it for a long time and judging the general trend of the world. Before making the final decision, Zhang Liang also divined a hexagram, and when he got the Thai hexagram and the Guan hexagram in the sixty-four hexagrams, he threw away the yarrow and said happily: This is the auspicious omen of the hegemon. So he asked the imperial court to let him serve as the assassin of Liangzhou. The ministers also moved for Zhang Rail's words, thinking that his talent was enough to govern Hexi, and finally he successfully did the Liangzhou Assassin History, which has been nearly ten years, Zhang Rail is supporting the army and waiting for the time. ”
Yang Ke deliberately frowned and said: "Liangzhou is a bitter cold place, and there are frequent troubles on the side, it is not a good errand, even if he is ambitious, why would he choose this place?" According to his qualifications and connections, he can serve in the Central Plains, and he can also play his own small abacus, and compared to Liangzhou, isn't it much easier? ”
Liu San shook his head and said: "Everything in this world is here and there, if the world is peaceful, it will naturally be the best place to govern the land of Gyeonggi in the Central Plains." But don't forget, if the kings of the first emperor start an incident, where will the first place to be captured? ”
"Of course, it's the Central Plains where Kyoto is located."
"Ahh Liu San then said: "If the kings are in turmoil, the first to turmoil must be the Central Plains, but Liangzhou, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the court has no time to take care of anything else, so it will naturally become the last place in the Great Jin Dynasty to ignite the beacon smoke." At that time, the people of the Central Plains in order to avoid the war, Hexi will become a place where the population gathers, with an endless stream of population supplements, Zhang Liang will be able to sit on more than 100,000 male soldiers in less than three years, at least more than one million new subjects, at that time he will come to the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and even mediate between the vassal kings and the imperial court. When it really comes to the end, who else can help him? ”
Yang Ke smiled faintly: "It's a pity, Zhang Liang hasn't waited for the opportunity for the Central Plains to be full of smoke, so he can only endure it for the time being, except for standing still and waiting for the changes." But as Mr. analyzed and penetrated, there is another outstanding feature of this track, that is, the fox's tail is hidden deep and hidden for a long time. ”
When these words came out, the two of them laughed together, and in a smile, they both knew each other well, for the situation in Hexi and even the world, the two sides actually coincided and saw the same.
Look at the dumb riddle is almost played, if you try it again, you will inevitably save the mustard in Liu San's heart, and this time he knocked on the side, he was quite surprised by Liu San's overall situation and vision, he didn't expect that a businessman who was far away from the rivers and lakes would see the general trend of Hexi and even the world so thoroughly, and directly grasped the thread from the complicated chaos. After being in a high position for a long time, Yang Ke's courage to kill and make a decision became more and more resolute, and he kept thinking about the revitalization plan of the Hexi Corridor that he had considered for a long time. He said without hesitation: "The important matter that the imperial court that I discussed with my husband wants the Liu family firm to pass through Hexi together is now urgent, and it must be implemented immediately. Moreover, I also want to give my husband a sword to subdue demons, and the imperial court will order the issuance of shares, so that more businessmen can join the caravan to develop Hexi, and at the same time help the caravan to establish its own private equity guard to ensure the safety of the trade road. ”
Yang Ke's voice did not fall, but Liu San was completely a little confused, Yang Ke threw out these two opinions so that he was suddenly caught off guard, the reason is very simple, he never dreamed that Yang Ke would make such a suggestion, in his experience and cognitive system, these are two completely unfamiliar things, unheard of since ancient times, what is Yang Ke's intention, what kind of consequences these two things will bring, and what kind of responsibilities and risks he and Liu's firm will face, he has not considered it at all. It's just that with Liu San's intuition and keenness, he can feel that this is an unfathomable and dangerous move, and he is bound to drag himself and Honggu into a huge whirlpool, and if he succeeds, he will stand at the head of the tide, and if he fails, he will fall into the abyss.
Looking at Liu San's uncertain face, Yang Ke had already expected it, in fact, just now, he thought of the model of combining commerce and aggressive colonial rule in the West in later generations. Relying on the current strength of the imperial court, first, there is not so much manpower and financial resources to open up Hexi, and second, the imperial court directly uses the army to escort the Hexi trade route, and the risk is too high. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to do this because of the accumulation of national strength for three generations to be able to subdue the foreign land. And the current imperial court simply does not have such conditions. Rashly starting a war will not only face great risks externally, but also there will be huge resistance within the imperial court. So, he thought of giving Liu San the right to reorganize his shares, and using the model and mechanism often said in later generations to pry more businessmen and magnates to join this gluttonous feast of interests, so that the imperial court could borrow chickens to lay eggs and use the power of the people to open up business. At the same time, Liu San was given the right to form an armed force, of course, the backbone of this armed force was dispatched by himself, and he could inevitably ensure that he could absolutely control this armed force, and then recruit conscripts from the civilian population to join. It is not so sensitive, and it has a good name for infiltrating Hexi. To use an analogy, just like the volunteers of the later generations to resist US aggression and aid Korea, nominally the volunteer army, but in fact it is the army of the country. Once this army can be entrenched in the territory of Liangzhou, that is, when he takes back Zhang Rail's military power, even if Zhang Rail wants to take risks, he will have an extra trump card to deal with him, and it is still a trump card that is deeply hidden.
He glanced at Liu San slowly and said, "Mr. is not busy answering me, go back and discuss it with Honggu first, and we will discuss it another day." ”
