Chapter 172 and Chapter 3 of the Covenant

Fenggao Wangfu, a grand banquet is in the ascendant. ww

In addition to the Bao family, almost all the local powerful families in Taishan have come, and it is imperative for Taishan to change hands, so they naturally want to express their obedience. What's more, they want to come and see the style, and it would be great if they could get Wang Yu's personal promise.

Because of his fellow villagers, and because he has seen Wang Yu's military appearance, he knows that it is difficult to compete, so the resistance of Taishan heroes to Wang Yu is not too strong. However, Wang Kuang's behavior in Hanoi is really worrying, and they are really relieved if they don't come to explore the situation.

After seeing these people, Wang Yu completely understood what Zhang Miao meant by what he said on the road.

In this era, no matter who controls a piece of territory, they have to scavenge from the Haoqiang family, and the people either rebel as the Yellow Turbans, or depend on these Haoqiang to survive, and the remaining ones who survive independently are only barely maintained, and it is not efficient to loot them, and maybe more Yellow Turbans will be forced out.

It is much easier to start with Haoqiang, and it is much easier to get rid of a few large households than to force tens of thousands of civilians to die, and there is everything in money, food, and population, and the most important thing is that there is no need to spend a lot of time.

The point of looting is how to choose the target and how to use it.

As far as Wang Yu knows, Liu Biao did just that in Jingzhou, among the four major families in Jingzhou, he focused on winning over two of them, and maintained a good relationship with the other two.

Relying on the money and efforts of these major families, Liu Biao promoted the pacification of Jingzhou and took control of the power, or shared power with these major families.

Liu Biao is just the most typical one, and the other princes are more or less doing the same, the reason why Han Fu is getting closer to Yuan Shao is not that he is too stupid to see through the other party's intentions, but the families in Jizhou are unwilling to support him, what can he do?

However, although this method is good, it has many drawbacks. The biggest trouble is that these families will continue to erode the power in the hands of the princes, and in the end, they will become a situation of being weak and strong, and Liu Biao in history is the most typical example.

Haoqiang, who came to pick up Wang Yu today, has many people who have this kind of thought. If it doesn't work out, they won't be disappointed, anyway, if they can't take refuge, it's not bad if they can spend some money to buy a peaceful place.

What they are most afraid of is that Wang Yu will take the same method as his father and indiscriminately catch them all, which is the most fatal.

In addition to these two extreme methods, there are also some princes who are confident in their political skills, and will adopt the practice of pulling one faction and fighting another.

According to Zhang Miao's speculation, Cao Cao would probably adopt this approach if he succeeded in taking control of Dongjun.

The advantage of this approach is that the power of the princes will not be diluted, and the loyalty of the co-opted faction will be relatively high, and the spoils of war against the other faction can greatly enrich the economic power, and at the same time will not suffer too much criticism. Pulling one faction to fight another faction is a political struggle, which has nothing to do with the class, and will not arouse the resentment of the scholars.

But the shortcomings are not small, the relationship between the scholars is quite complicated, it can be called a mistake, and the suppressed faction will not be willing to fail, but will call friends to resist. If there are any more external opponents like Zhang Miao who covet and take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, then the situation is likely to get out of control.

After circling around in the midst of all the heroes, combined with Zhang Miao's rhetoric, Wang Yu had a deeper understanding of the relationship between the heroes and the princes. In this era, it is very important to deal with the relationship with the nobles and heroes, and we must not be negligent.

Therefore, it is the wisest choice to attack Qingzhou, all over the Central Plains, only there is the least strong there. In Qingzhou, there is no need to be as cautious and treading on thin ice as in other places.

As for how to deal with the scholars of Mount Tai, Wang Yu also had a complete idea, and put forward a slogan following the old example.

"Chapter 3?"

"Yes, what are you worried about, Ben Hou knows that after taking over Mount Tai, if the change is too big, it will only deepen your doubts. Therefore, Yu has set the rules here today, Taishan County is all the same, as long as the tax is paid according to the system of the imperial court, does not violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, and does not collude with foreign enemies, Yu will not interfere with you in any way, which is such a three chapters of the law. ”

"Really?" All the heroes were amazed.

At least on the surface, the taxes of the Han Dynasty were never high, usually ten taxes one, fifteen taxes one is also very common, and at the lowest time, there were even thirty taxes and one extremely low tax rate.

The tax rate of the imperial court was low, but the burden on the people was great, because there were powerful and eunuchs in between.

The emperor is in the deep palace, and he may not know what is in the middle, and even if he does, he can't control it. The officials of the imperial court are all scholars, how can the emperor fiddle with so many people alone? It is not a scholar, there are only eunuchs, and the fierce conflict between eunuchs and scholars in the late Han Dynasty did not begin with this section.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the prestige of the Han court was gone, and the princes began to go their own way, and these princes were much more shrewd than the emperor. They will definitely not be satisfied with the tax rate on the surface, and those who are a little ambitious will have to fight with Haoqiang.

What is Wang Yu's ambition, the children on the side of the road can say a few words, and he put on such a generous posture, which is really unbelievable.

Wang Yu smiled slightly: "There is no joke." ”

"No wonder there are rumors in the sea that the prince and prince have great benevolence and bravery, and when I see it today, it is unusual!"

"As soon as this order comes out today, the hearts of the people of Taishan are stable, and there is a great style of the ancestor who entered the customs and set the three assistants."

"That's natural, otherwise how could the prince be given the glory of crusading against the unsubordinated ministers of the sea today? This kind of honor, which has not been seen in the four hundred years since the founding of the country, is only worthy of such loyal people as the prince and the prince who are dedicated to the country and have no selfish intentions. ”

For a while, all the heroes were full of strong words, praising Wang Yu to the sky, and even Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, took it out for comparison, which shows how excited they were, and how anxious they were to finalize the matter, lest Wang Yu regret it.

The heroes returned satisfied, and peace was restored in the palace.

said that it was calm, but in fact it was still very lively, Wang Yu's mother saw that her son was a little strange, and she didn't know how to get close, but she didn't have so many scruples about the two daughters-in-law who had been at the door.

Since seeing the two girls, the mouth in the queen mother's eyes has not been idle, and when she asked about her life experience, she sighed and sighed about the life experience of the two girls; When she talked about Wang Yu's experience during this time, she exclaimed again and again, in short, it has never stopped.

Seeing that his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along well, Wang Yu also relieved his heart, and took several of his civil and military officers to the study with Wang Kuang and Cai Yong.

"Pengju, isn't there any deep meaning to your promise today?" As soon as he sat down, Wang Kuang hurriedly asked.

"There is no deep meaning, it is just to calm people's hearts." Wang Yu shook his head.

Wang Kuang said worriedly: "You have brought back a lot of money, and your family also has savings and surplus, plus the financial support of your uncle's family, it is not difficult to maintain your 8,000 soldiers and horses, but if you want to further expand the army, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch it." Mount Tai is not very rich, if the old system is maintained, ten taxes and one, I am afraid it will ......"

Wang Yu smiled disapprovingly: "The soldiers are expensive but not many, these 8,000 soldiers and horses are all strong men who are one in a hundred, Wen Zeling is strict in the monarch's law, Gongming and Hansheng all have the courage of ten thousand people, after resting, these 8,000 people can be one ten, why expand the army?" ”

"Your ability to lead the army, I don't doubt it, but since you want to share your worries for the country and pacify Qingzhou, I'm afraid these soldiers and horses are far from enough at the moment, and Qingzhou ......" Wang Kuang sighed: "It's too chaotic." ”

Wang Yu waved his hand and said: "Father, the matter of Qingzhou will be postponed, the child has something to do today, and I want to discuss it with Uncle Cai." ”

"Oh?" Cai Yong was still a little distracted at the moment, and he was pulled by Wang Yu in a daze, his mind was on the book, how could he have any spirit to discuss military affairs.

"Pengju, do you have something to discuss with the old man?"

"Exactly." Wang Yu nodded, and said solemnly: "Uncle Yu Zhi only wants to complete the Later Han Shu and doesn't want to be sideways, but the little nephew still has a reluctant request and wants to ask his uncle to agree." ”

"Say it." Cai Yong is a little confused, Pengju will beg for his own affairs, is he in a hurry to do a happy event? But on this occasion, it doesn't seem to be suitable for marriage, right?

The others also had puzzled looks on their faces, only Jia Xu was thoughtful.

"The little nephew wants to ask my uncle to put aside the matter of revising history for the time being and start to establish a academy."

"Academy?" Cai Yong was stunned, "Do you mean the academy?" ”

"It's not just the school, the academy envisioned by the little nephew is similar in nature to the school, the scale is larger, and the scope of teaching is wider than the school, as long as there are people who come to study, they will be accepted......"

This idea was vaguely established after Wang Yu talked to Jia Xu for a long time.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the system of the scholar clan has begun to prevail, and it is impossible to forcibly reverse it in a short period of time, so you can only find a way to adapt, otherwise you will become the public enemy of the world.

In this regard, Wang Yu also has his own ideas, he will not fully accept the system of this era, nor will he copy those things that cross too many eras, he thinks of a way to improve imperceptibly.

Therefore, he and Taishan's Haoqiang agreed on three chapters, and at the same time, he also wanted to build a academy to liberate knowledge from the monopoly of the scholars.

"Teaching people etiquette, this is a good thing," understood Wang Yu's meaning, Cai Yong bowed slightly, meaning to agree, "However, according to Pengju, this academy is no matter how scholarly it is, there is no class in education, I am afraid that the scale will be very large, and the old man alone is afraid that it will be ......."

"Of course, Uncle Cai will not only work hard, the little nephew's idea is that with Uncle Cai's fame and the relatively stable and harmonious environment of Mount Tai, he will attract celebrities and scholars from all over the world who have escaped the war to come here, and build Mount Tai into an academic holy land......

Wang Yu gushed about his ideas, it doesn't matter if there is no talent, you can cultivate yourself. Of course, it is very slow to cultivate from scratch, but with Cai Yong's fame and the collection of books in Tianlu Pavilion, the academy has stood in a very high position at the beginning, and is it afraid that it will not be able to attract talents?

"Celebrities in other places may not be easy to invite, but there are a lot of people around Kong Beihai, and the kid talked with Kong Beihai in the sour date, which is very harmonious, and it should not be difficult to invite them to come. With Uncle Cai in the center, coupled with the help of Kong Beihai, taking advantage of the good time when the little nephew has just returned to his hometown and is being noticed by the world, once the academy is established, its reputation can be resounded throughout half of the Central Plains......"

Cai Yong nodded again and again when he heard this, Jia Xu was even more excited, but Wang Kuang suddenly interjected: "Pengju, your idea is good, but if you want to invite Kong Beihai, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”

"Oh?" Wang Yu was stunned and looked at his father.

Wang Kuang sighed and said: "Kong Beihai should be willing to come, but he is afraid that he has no time to come now, and he can't come if he wants to." (To be continued.)
