Zhao Yun came in a hurry, but what he saw was the battle that had ended and his sister who was covered in blood. "What happened to the www.biquge.info?" Because he was directly woken up from the predicament and dragged here, Zhao Yun didn't get more explanations, and his heart was naturally still confused.

Li Sheng didn't answer Zhao Yun's question, but walked straight to Zhao Yun's mount, gently hugged the injured girl down, and ordered not loudly but with dignity: "Let's go back and talk." ”

"Oh!" Zhao Yun answered softly and stopped talking. He looked at the little sister who had already fainted from the pain, and was now leaning on Li Sheng's shoulder, his brows couldn't help frowning, and a deep worry was clearly expressed on his face.

Back in the cottage, Li Sheng hurriedly asked Zhao Yun to settle down, and asked two doctors to help her take care of her first, so that her injuries would not worsen. Then he ordered his soldiers to ride fast horses to Guojia Village to ask some women with quick hands and feet to help heal their wounds. Although in this era, the precautions between men and women were not as strict as in later generations, women's bodies were not just for people to see. In general, there are only male military doctors and no female military doctors in the army, and even Li Sheng's side has not made more preparations. encountered such a sudden situation, and quickly ordered to do this, which is already the limit of what Li Sheng can do now.

After arranging everything, he returned to the hall of the cottage, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Yun rushing over, and asked nervously, "What is going on?" Who did Yun'er fight against? Actually so badly injured? If I had known I'd have to kill him. ”

A series of questions turned into gritted teeth and curses in the end, and from Zhao Yun's uncalm behavior at all, Li Sheng could see that he cared about his sister. For Zhao Yun, his sister Zhao Yun is really his only relative in this world.

"Sit down and talk about it, although Ling Mei is seriously injured, she is worry-free. It's just that because it's a woman, I can't treat the wound immediately at the moment, so I've already sent someone to the village to ask for someone, just be a little patient, and it should be worry-free. Li Sheng calmly asked everyone in the hall to sit down, and said comforting Zhao Yun. Said lightly.

"Oh!" Zhao Yun nodded noncommittally, but asked again: "What is today's matter?" ”

"Well...... Li Sheng lengthened the syllable, groaned slightly, and shook his head gently: "It's hard to say." ”

"Why can't you say it?" Zhao Yun didn't understand: "Doesn't Zixu even know who the enemy on the other side is?" ”

"This ......" Li Sheng hesitated for a long time, and finally rejected Zhao Yun's request: "Don't ask again." He frowned tightly, as if he was distressed by Zhao Yun's tightness.

"Why?" Zhao Yun was annoyed, and he slammed his fist on the ground in front of his knees, and there was a sudden "Bang!" "There was a loud bang." Why didn't you tell me? Yun'er is my only relative in this world, shouldn't I seek justice for her and help her defeat the enemy she can't defeat? Zhao Yun's face flushed, his chest couldn't stop rising and falling, and he roared loudly. As a person who has always been calm, it is rare for him to have such a moment of excitement.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you can't solve the problem in a hurry. And you need to recuperate now. Li Sheng still persuaded him softly.

How can you not be in a hurry? Zhao Yun became more and more irritable, and a little sweat faintly oozed from his pale face. He didn't say anything more, just stared at Li Sheng tightly: "Please Zixu tell me the reason!" ”

"Why?" Looking at Zhao Yun's unusually persistent and determined gaze, Li Sheng obviously felt the amazing pressure emanating from him, he seemed to be unable to withstand such pressure, so he asked Zhao Yun with a wry smile: "Do you really want to know?" ”

"Of course!" Zhao Yun nodded firmly.

"Then I'll tell you." Li Sheng looked very helpless: "It is Liu Bei's men and horses who are fighting with us. Of course, Uncle Liu Huang himself is not here, but it was Zhang Fei who injured your sister. If you want to be rewarded, you have to face Zhang Feidao's soldiers, and the result of Zhang Feidao's soldiers, I think you should understand it yourself. If that's the case, I'm afraid that in Uncle Liu's army, you have no place to stand. Although Uncle Liu Huang said that he loves talents, loves Li, and knows how to distinguish between right and wrong, he attaches more importance to feelings. If he had to make a choice between you and Zhang Fei, I think it would be possible to choose you over Zhang Fei? How will you deal with yourself when you fall? ”

Zhao Yun was silent. He had to admit that what Li Sheng said was correct: if he was obsessed with avenging his little sister and insisted on fighting Zhang Fei, it would undoubtedly offend Zhang Fei heavily. To offend Zhang Fei is to offend Liu Bei, and he understands how much Liu Bei values brotherly feelings.

"So ignore what Li Sheng said earlier, forget the fact that my little sister was injured, and happily devote yourself to Uncle Liu's account as if nothing had happened?" This idea flashed through Zhao Yun's mind, but he quickly rejected it: "Joke, if you do it yourself, is it still yourself?" The reason why I have a soft spot for Uncle Liu Huang and want to put myself into his account is not because of his benevolence and generosity. What I value is not his name, not his power, but his personality, the kind of personality that treats the people with kindness and the righteousness of his subordinates. It was because of these personalities that they were so similar to themselves that he finally made such a promise to him. And until now, I have always adhered to that promise, and it is nothing more than because of my faithful personality. If it hadn't happened, I'm afraid I would have persevered. But for now it seems that there are other considerations. After all, in front of his deceased brother, he also promised his brother to take good care of his little sister. ”

"Alas...... What a headache. Zhao Yun had a bitter face, and secretly complained in his heart. After encountering Pei Yuanshao's sneak attack on the side of Woniu Mountain, everything seemed to have become a little difficult to control. I am always forced to choose between two problems, and the two problems are always at the extreme, and there is no possibility of comprehensiveness. When you make a choice among them, you often follow one side, and you will offend the other party, as if there is a vague big hand that manipulates all this, which always makes people sigh that they can't help themselves.

"Manipulation?" Zhao Yun suddenly thought of this word, and his heart was suddenly shocked. He looked up at Li Sheng, but a thought inadvertently flashed through him, a very terrible thought: "Could it be that everything since I came down from Woniu Mountain and encountered Li Sheng was due to his arrangement?" Looking at that concerned face, Zhao Yun shook his head vigorously, bent on forgetting about it. He saw the sincerity in Li Sheng's gaze, and he didn't believe that Li Sheng would have such a scheming. But in any case, doubts have secretly taken root in his heart.

"I don't know, what does Zixu think?" After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Yun still didn't figure out a clue from this messy matter after all. In desperation, he directly threw this problem to Li Sheng. Of course, there are considerations to solve this problem with the help of Li Sheng's wisdom, but there are also temptations caused by Zhao Yun's unease about Li Sheng. However, perhaps because he felt that his move of pushing his own private affairs to others was too much, Zhao Yun had to quickly follow up after those words: "Zixu, don't postpone it, right now my thoughts are chaotic, panicked and uneasy, and I am a little overwhelmed during this time." ”

"Huh!" Seeing that Zhao Yun, such a powerful general, actually said such a gentle thing, Li Sheng couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It's just that he doesn't know that Zhao Yun already has doubts about himself in his heart. Seeing that Zhao Yun had a request for himself, he pondered and thought about it carefully. He was thinking about how to say it in order to bring Zhao Yun under his account. This is where he struggles. In normal times, he would have Luo Zhao around him as a counselor, but now, under Zhao Yun's gaze, he definitely couldn't ask Luo Zhao about it. For Zhao Yun's sudden request, all he could rely on was himself. He'll have to use his brain to think about it. As far as he is concerned, now that Zhao Yun is in trouble with Zhang Fei because of his sister's affairs, he has some scruples about entering Liu Bei's account, which is the best moment for him to convince Zhao Yun, if he misses the present, God knows when he will be able to receive this wise and brave general.

After thinking about it carefully, turning over and over again in his mind, Li Sheng only sorted out some clues after a long time. He thought a lot, and he also saw the doubts in Zhao Yun's heart about himself. In order not to let this suspicion continue further, he did not directly answer Zhao Yun's words, but asked slightly instructively: "What is the real plan in Zilong's heart?" If you still want to join Uncle Liu's account, then I have a strategy to help you; If you don't want to do that, there is another path. Although Zilong left things to me to control, I am not Zilong himself after all. This can be regarded as a big problem in the direction, but Zilong himself has to grasp it. ”

Be open and honest, and directly explain the origin of all misunderstandings to Ling Mei, so as to relieve Ling Mei's dissatisfaction with this. If I send a letter to Runan or Hebei to explain everything, and explain this misunderstanding, the matter can be easily resolved. Li Sheng smiled and said, "The key to dealing with such things is to be clear. After all, this matter is misunderstood, and as long as the misunderstanding is said in time, it will not be remembered. The gentleman is frank, I think Uncle Liu Huang must not be the kind of person who blindly protects his shortcomings. ”

This is the right thing to say, and in general, it is indeed the best way to solve the problem. But after Zhao Yun heard Li Sheng say this, he smiled helplessly. He knew that Li Sheng was really planning all this for himself, and the many considerations he made were based on his understanding of his sister and Liu Bei. Regarding his sister's heaviness, Zhao Yun had to admit that Li Sheng was right: as Zhao Yun, although he was usually savage, he could see it very clearly in major matters. If she really explained everything to her, then Xiaomei would really not care about all this. But for Liu Bei, to be honest, Zhao Yun admitted that he really couldn't see through this person. Although Liu Bei's performance has always been the kind of emotion, trustworthiness, and love for the people, Zhao Yun also understands that there is also something crazy about the calm and indifferent mood of joy and anger, that is, too much emphasis on feelings. The relationship between Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei is extremely deep, and the extent is indescribable. Zhao Yun didn't dare to estimate what Liu Bei would do for such a relationship, so he didn't quite believe Li Sheng's judgment in the face of Liu Bei.

"If you don't want to do that, what then?" Because he couldn't see through Liu Bei, Zhao Yun didn't settle down because Li Sheng's explanation didn't come, he frowned slightly, but asked another point.

"That dragon can slow down, watch the lord of the world, and look for any fittest person to cast on." Li Sheng was very brief about this point, but he also understood it very clearly.

"Any fittest?" Zhao Yun looked at Li Sheng, and slightly blamed him for being a little inauthentic. As Zhao Yun, he already knew that Li Sheng had the heart to solicit, which can be seen from Li Sheng's speech and demeanor a few days ago. If he thinks about it again, since you Li Sheng have such thoughts, why don't you explain it directly? It's just to say it so secretively, it really makes people feel a little scheming. He felt that Li Sheng at this moment seemed to be a little similar to Liu Bei, who he couldn't see through.

"I don't know what Zixu thinks is a suitable lord?" Zhao Yun looked at Li Sheng with a smile. When Li Sheng refused to directly say what he thought in his heart, he simply asked questions like this.

"As a monarch, his own talent is not the most important, the important thing is to know people, employ people, love the people, have foresight, and have ambitions. Only a monarch who can do these things can gain a foothold and compete for hegemony in such troubled times. Although it is not clear why Zhao Yun suddenly asked this, Li Sheng still has a brief paragraph to clearly explain his opinion. This is his summary of the characteristics that a wise man must have, and it is also the point that he requires himself to do step by step. Therefore, his tone is much more sincere, and people have the idea that he is telling the truth.

"Can you elaborate on that?" Hearing Li Sheng talk about this topic, everyone suddenly became interested. Not only did Zhao Yun look at Li Sheng with blank eyes and hope to get his further explanation, but even Zhou Rui, Zhou Li, Luo Zhao and others all stared at their lords, and they all pricked up their ears, and they had to make Li Sheng so clear from what he said.

"Tell me about it?" A strange smile appeared on Li Sheng's face: "What I said is plain enough, you don't still understand, right?" Li Sheng's gaze was at Zhou Rui and the others, and he felt a little strange: These people have been friends with me for a long time, and they should all understand my ambition and understanding of the monarch? How could it be? Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at them, but saw that Luo Zhao among them threw a glance at himself, so that he could pay attention to the people beside him. Only then did Li Sheng recall that these things that he had already said must be repeated now. After all, Luo Zhao understood these things, but Zhao Yun, who caused this conversation, did not understand - his relationship with Li Sheng was not deep.

"To recognize people is to identify talents and shine talents. Whether it is a Confucian, a warrior, a debater, a farmer, a worker, or even a businessman, as long as there is a skill, he can be hired and managed; There are two points in employing people. First, the monarch must achieve the most basic trust in his courtiers, the so-called 'no suspicion of employing people, no suspicion of people'. The second is to use the courtiers with different abilities to the most suitable place for them, so that they can maximize their abilities. This point is the most critical, if it is just to identify talents, promote talents to officials, but can not put them in the most suitable position for him, this is a mistake, the light can make the talent depressed, the heavy can make people betray their relatives. As for loving the people, it is one of the biggest keys to whether or not we can win the world. Of all the things in the world, only the people are the most important. The people's hearts are turned back, and the distinction between there and there is no way comes from this love for the people. Therefore, there is such a sentence: 'The people are like water, and the king is the boat.' Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat. Li Sheng said a lot in one breath, or his mouth was a little dry, so he paused, took the teacup from the main seat, and drank the cold water in it without waiting for persuasion.

Finally, the throat was moisturized. After the cold and cold feeling subsided, Li Sheng licked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and looked around the room with his gaze. He was satisfied by their attentive looks, and he felt their wordless urging from their unrelenting gazes.

"What a troublesome bunch." For such an urging, Li Sheng sighed helplessly in his heart, and then had to raise his head and continue to explain: "Having foresight and ambition can generally be used as two points for the lord to improve in the direction of Mingjun. Those who have foresight have far-sightedness. Those who can ignore the small losses of the moment, and focus on the long-term benefits, can resist the confusion of the small profits of the moment, and avoid the disaster of destruction, and can firmly follow the right direction in the strategic direction, that is, for it; Those who have ambitions are determined. Those who can not be discouraged when they are frustrated, who are not proud when they are rich, who can not forget the old aspirations when they are successful, and who can share hardships with their ministers and peace with their ministers, that is. ”

Li Sheng finished speaking, but he breathed a long sigh of relief. Somehow, he said this paragraph in words and sentences similar to official texts, which was strange and strange for him to feel quite uncomfortable. He secretly glanced at everyone in the hall, and found that they were all looking at him with very strange eyes, and kept looking at his body and face, as if it was the first time he saw him, which made him feel the horror that seemed to be about to clean people's naked clothes. "What the hell is going on?" Li Sheng thought tremblingly, and looked at this group of silent subordinates with a little fear.

After a long time, I heard their "ah......" reaction.

"You...... Can you do that? After understanding what Li Sheng said, Zhao Yun had this look on his face that seemed to be smiling, he looked at Li Sheng and asked lightly: "According to what you said, from ancient times to the present, no one except the three emperors and five emperors can do it." There is a point that treats his subordinates from the beginning to the end, even Gaozu can't do it. ”

"Maybe. But there is always a goal, and although it will be difficult to achieve that point, I will do my best. As for the fact that there is a beginning and an end to my subordinates, I am sure that I can do it. For after I have done so, I will make a decree that you and your descendants will enjoy, as long as you and your descendants do not violate it, then you will naturally enjoy the corresponding rights and wealth. When the time comes, I will build a hall and a monument, and I will engrave your names on it, so that it will be worshiped for all generations. Li Sheng said with a smile. As for the future, he seems to have a plan in his heart.

"Then I don't know if the lord has any general ideas for after the success?" Luo Zhao asked cooperatively. He knew that Li Sheng wanted to subdue Zhao Yun, and he also knew that Zhao Yun had shaken his original mind a little after experiencing this series of things, so he wanted Li Sheng to say more things. After all, the more you know, the more you can't leave as far as the other side is concerned. This is not only to impress Zhao Yun, but also to tie Zhao Yun. In order to expand the lord's camp a little more, he used this kind of trickery.

"Idea?" Li Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and immediately saw the reason why Luo Zhao asked. He glanced up at Zhao Yun, and saw that he was also looking at him with great interest, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, but he opened his mouth to explain: "My idea is to make the people of the world rich and the country of China strong." ”

"How?" Luo Zhao asked again.

"Take the law as the rule, take education as the cornerstone, take agriculture as the foundation, take work as Boxing, take business as the way to get rich, and use the armor to drive the Quartet, so that the people of the world, everyone has food, food and clothing and do not know the etiquette, so that the Quartet is the only one, China is the life, and the red flag is everywhere." Li Sheng replied calmly.

"Is the lord going to rule the country by law, and to attach importance to industry and commerce, and raise a large army to conquer the Quartet?" Luo Zhao was shocked when he heard this, he saw the meaning of Li Sheng's words, and while he was surprised by Li Sheng's ambition, he was also a little puzzled by Li Sheng's opinion: "With the rule of law, isn't the lord afraid of repeating the mistakes of Qin II and destroying him?" and industry and commerce, unheard of in ancient times; and arbitrarily requisitioned, it seems that there is a possibility of exhaustive force; In the land of Siyi, there are no and special products, and attacking at will is just a steep cost of money and food. Luo Zhao objected, and it was the first time he had heard Li Sheng talk about these views. Although he felt that there was something exciting about it, he felt that it seemed to be contrary to what the ancient sages taught, as if it was the way to get rid of chaos.

"Why are you so brainless?" Seeing that the person who raised the objection was actually his own intelligence officer, Li Sheng couldn't help but sigh. He originally used that ancient text to explain everything, but he just wanted to make these things a little more mysterious, and just fool the past in front of Zhao Yun. In his opinion, although Zhao Yun is smart, he doesn't know much about this issue involving national policies, so he doesn't need to explain much. Zhao Yun didn't say anything now, but his subordinates raised a series of questions very sharply.

"It's against the ancient system, and it's against the words of the saints. How can the brains of these people who read from the book so dead? Li Sheng glared at Luo Zhao fiercely, thinking with prejudice. Coming from the modern era, his mind was full of rigid words about how Confucianism was. Although after he came to this era, he also studied the Confucian classics in order to adapt to the various things of this era, but he only looked at it by comparison, and the ideas that dominated his heart were still the same as before.

Although I sighed in my heart, I still had to do the answer on the surface. Before changing others, you must first unify your own people's thoughts, and Li Sheng never thought that he could change the whole world by relying on his own ability. For him, the reform is long-term, and in this era, the foundation of industry and commerce in the Southern Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty is still extremely weak, and what he has to do now is to speed up the development of industry and commerce a little bit, rather than all at once to copy all kinds of raw things from later generations. After all, what is suitable for the future may not be suitable for this moment.

"Is it because of the law that Qin II died? I don't think so, the people don't suffer from heavy laws, they don't suffer from high taxes, but suffer from injustice. In the same group of people, everyone does the same work, but some people can do more with less, and some people do more and get less, this is unfair. But when the unjust interests expand, so that the powerful can rely on the power in their hands to make money day by day, and the small people are running around day and night and are hungry, the world will be chaotic. The people are like water, but they are indisputable. As long as the people are given even a little way to live, the people will never rebel. What they need is stability, they need to be able to fill their stomachs after hard work, and nothing else. Li Sheng explained calmly.

"So ...... this method?" Luo Zhao hesitated.

"I want to raise the law to a higher position, so that no one in the world, including the emperor, the nobles, and the bureaucrats, can violate this law. The imperial court has the power to make laws, and has the power to terminate and change laws, but after the laws are issued, everyone must obey them. For example, if you collect taxes, I stipulate in the form of a law that you must pay one-tenth of your income in a year, so you must pay this amount in a year, whether you are an emperor or a bureaucrat, you must pay it, and no one can be an exception. This makes the Fa, the real Fa, so that everyone must be the same in front of the Fa. Li Sheng said very seriously.

"That's too ...... It's not in line with the ancient system! Luo Zhao muttered to himself. People have a certain attachment to things that they are used to, and although Luo Zhao also thinks that such a law is helpful to the people of the country, he is still a little disgusted with it. He couldn't accept such a Fa at once.

"What is the ancient system?" Li Sheng asked him with a smile.

"The words of the sages, the principles of heaven and earth." Luo Zhao replied in the affirmative.

"The words of a saint? That may be there, but what is the principle of heaven and earth? Not necessarily. Li Sheng shook his head gently: "In fact, whether it is the 'Words of the Sage' or the 'Principle of Heaven and Earth', it is all formulated by people at a certain time in order to manage themselves, manage the whole world, and adapt to and develop that era. These institutions and the like, once they are suitable for the actual situation, are conducive to development, and if they are not, then they will constrain development. It's like a person, but when he is still a ghost, you can naturally let him wear the ghost's clothes, and when he grows up, can you still let him continue to wear the ghost's clothes? Isn't that going to strangle him? ”

"Oh!" Luo Zhao nodded, acknowledging Li Sheng's importance to the Fa. "What about business and commerce? Workers are only small skills, and businessmen are even more profiteering, how can they be compared with farmers? Luo Zhao still can't understand this.

"What did Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty rely on to expedition against the Xiongnu and eliminate the century-old border troubles of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop?" Regarding Luo Zhao's doubts about industry and commerce, Li Sheng did not give a positive answer, but raised another question.

"That naturally depends on the efforts of the generals and a large number of cavalry in the time of Emperor Wu." Regarding this matter, Zhou Li seemed to have heard Li Sheng say it before, so he quickly replied.

"A large number of cavalry, that also needs money, and the gap between the combat power of the Huns and the soldiers of Middle-earth, especially in equestrianism, is also very large." Li Sheng nodded, but said with some noncommittality.

"So......" Everyone looked at Li Sheng, as if they understood what he was going to say next.

"The advantage of the Han soldiers over the Xiongnu soldiers was in the iron weapons, in the stirrups, in the bows and crossbows, and these things were produced by craftsmen. If these craftsmen, then it is impossible for our army to have armor, it is impossible to have sharp weapons, and at that time, we will destroy the enemy, even if we have a thousand wisdom in mind, and it will take more manpower and material resources to achieve it. Suppose we have something that would have taken three people to do it, and we can do it with one person with the tools, then we have twice as many people. This is what makes the work so powerful. Li Sheng glanced at everyone as he spoke, and when he saw that they were listening attentively, he continued with great interest: "If work is the foundation that makes us strong, then business is the foundation of our prosperity. In today's world, there is no more demand for things than in the past, and it is impossible to produce everything in the same place, so we need merchants to circulate what we need. It is undeniable that businessmen are profit-heavy, and it is undeniable that businessmen make money faster than workers and peasants, so if we want to collect taxes, do we collect more from merchants with more money, or more from farmers with less money? I think that's something that anyone knows. ”

However, if we value merchants, will we let all the people go into business instead of farming? Will that shake the whole country's foundation? Luo Zhao admitted that Li Sheng was right, but the doubts in his heart were still not eliminated.

"People seek profit and avoid evil. When people find that they can earn more money in business than farming, they naturally go into business. Then the country will have less food, the price of food will be higher, and then they will find that farming seems more beneficial, and then they will go back to farming. In fact, whether they are doing business or farming, they must be carried out under a certain supervision of the imperial court, as long as the imperial court can grasp a generous attitude, then there can naturally be a situation where all three win. And that's what we have to do. Li Sheng said.

"It really makes sense." Everyone thought silently for a while, and then couldn't help but nod and admit, "In this way, my big man can't become stronger." ”

"That's nature. However, it will take the efforts of all of us. Li Sheng looked at them with a smile, the light in his eyes was eager: "I wonder if you are willing to work with me to achieve this?" ”

"Therefore, I dare not resign." Everyone bowed their hands to Li Sheng and said, naturally there was Zhao Yun among them.

"Huh!" Seeing that the general he needed was finally launched, the smile on Li Sheng's face became even brighter.
