Wang Zhaojing heard his father say this, and wanted to speak, but after hesitating and still didn't make a sound, Zhao Jin's eyes were condensed, thinking that Wang Youshan was coming to see something fresh, and then chatting with himself, but he didn't expect to have other intentions

“。 The situation is different now and then, whether it's a fluke or anything, Xiaojing's side will also have its own situation, your side"

"Father" Wang Zhaojing couldn't help but say, Zhao Jin cleared his throat and was about to speak, Wang Youshan smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Do you think that I want to talk about the path of Wenwu Shushu, and I will be less similar in the future, I am not so pure and pedantic philistine." ”

Zhao Jinyu laughed, and Wang Youshan continued there: "Emperor Taizu's rules and regulations for establishing the Ming Dynasty are that the court and the gentry rule the world together, and the huge Xuzhou, one state government, and four county offices, so what can the officials do to serve them, it is not to rely on the gentry and wealthy families below." “

It didn't seem to be the same thing as what he guessed, Zhao Jin sat up slightly, and Wang Zhaojing, who was standing behind his father Wang Youshan, also listened attentively.

"There is nothing wrong with what you do, the place where the government can take care of it is within the city walls, five miles outside the city, in these places, natural murder is a felony, but outside of this, there is no royal law, Haoqiang accumulates private soldiers, fights for roads, fields, water, fights everywhere, I don't know how many people have died in Ludao, no one will say, no one will ask"

"Some people say that you are domineering and have no king's law, you don't have to pay attention to this, but you are new, some people are jealous, some people feel that they are at a loss, and they want to say that you have to shrink your hand, they are so cheap, who didn't do this before, that starter has no life in his hands, what is the king in his eyes"

Zhao Jin sighed, Wang Youshan's words made several of his guesses completely understand, it was not that he acted uniquely and had no king's law, but that everyone was like this.

"Legend has it that Yunshan Temple was a group of rogues pretending to be a gang at that time, first murdering the original monks, and then washing the surrounding Zhuangzi in blood, which established a huge family business, and the result is also a Buddhist resort, and some officials and gentry went up to worship incense, if Kong Jiuying hadn't met you, in a few years, maybe it would also be a celebrity, generation after generations."

Zhao Jin and Wang Zhaojing looked at each other, both puzzled, Zhao Jin had two questions, did Wang Youshan make a special trip to untie the knot?

I have indeed been a little apprehensive, because I don't know if the rhythm of my own action is appropriate, Zhao Ziying rises, relying on force and strength to force all parties in Xuzhou to bow their heads, distribute the interests of all parties in Xuzhou, defeat several of the largest local tyrants and then annex and exterminate, is this approach too fast and too fierce, will it cause hostility from all parties, will it force all parties to hate the same enemy, Zhao Jin has been worried, although there is no such sign around, but still dare not be careless.

Hearing Wang Youshan say this, Zhao Jin understood that what he did was no different from what his predecessors did, the government was accustomed to it, and everyone thought it was a normal change, strong and strong disputes, bloody battles were inevitable, the government only did not see it, and the cooperation between the last and the rest was.

The second question is, why didn't even Wang Zhaojing know his father's intentions? Jingguan Jinshi, Qinggui is like this, he actually came to enlighten himself, it seems to be too much of a fuss, but by this time, Zhao Jin was already able to calm down and listen to what the other party said.

"You brothers for so many years, I also see it in my eyes, you know the rules and proportions of doing things, and it is in line with the righteousness, Xuzhou is caught by you, it is better than being taken by others, so you don't have to make it too difficult for the government to do, and it will not make it too difficult for the people."

Zhao Jin had a smile on his face, what Zhao Ziying did, there are rules everywhere, and this is equivalent to a compliment.

"But that's the end of it, everything has a measure of scale, subtract one point is not enough, add one point too much, you are just right now, if you have the intention of expansion, you will be jealous of the government, in fact, this time, there is something wrong, you are doing well here, your rules are also exquisite, but you are just a Baozheng, your subordinates are just a group training village bravery, what do you want to do"

Zhao Jin took a deep breath, to the point, and what Wang Youshan said was really something he didn't expect.

"But it doesn't hurt to do this, you are doing well in Xuzhou, and then I and a few of your parents are covered, no one will target you, and no one dares to target you, if you expand outward, then there will be risks, will the foreign gentry who have been robbed by you collude with the government, will the government be jealous and suspicious of you, and even will not attract the fans of the factory guards

The government can tolerate the presence of powerful people in a county, a state, and a prefecture, but it will not tolerate the big tycoons in several prefectures, and the appearance of such a figure is tantamount to splitting the country, not only the gentry will rise up as enemies, but even the government and the court will be treated solemnly.

Zhao Jin frowned, Wang Zhaojing, who was standing behind Wang Youshan, also looked cautious, Wang Youshan took a sip of tea, and continued to talk eloquently: "I am in Beijing, Xiaojing may be in Beijing in the future, our father and son are from Xuzhou, and they will naturally take care of Xuzhou Xiangzi, as long as you don't make big mistakes, you can cover it up, my father and son are from Xuzhou, Xuzhou is fundamental, with you presiding here, my father and son will advance and retreat calmly." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zhaojing's expression was already a little embarrassed, and he couldn't stop looking at Zhao Jin, but Zhao Jin listened carefully.

"My father and son are from Xuzhou, and they will come back sooner or later, and they will rely on you to take care of them when the time comes

Several of us are now in the same spirit, and we must help each other to grow and inherit."

After Wang Youshan finished speaking, Zhao Jin fell silent, Wang Zhaojing was a little anxious, but seeing that the other two did not make a sound, he still held back.

"Uncle Wang doesn't treat his little nephew as an outsider, he says it so heartily, this kindness, the little nephew will keep it in mind." Zhao Jin spoke first, his tone was very sincere.

It is not easy to say so well with a local tyrant who has no official status, Wang Youshan has almost made it clear that the current situation is just right, and if you do a little more, you will be suspected of rebellion, and other things are also very naked, for example, the Wang family is an official, you can shelter and promote Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin is a tyrant in the township, which is a strong support for the Wang family, and after the Wang family and father and son return to their hometown, they will have to rely on Zhao Jin, in such an exchange, Zhao Jin not only does not suffer, Strictly speaking, it also takes advantage.

Wang Youshan is such a shrewd character, of course he can hear the meaning of Zhao Jin's words, Wang Youshan is not annoyed, just said with a smile: "My family doesn't say foreign words, you can say anything." ”

"How many years has Kong Jiuying been entrenched at the junction of the three provinces, and no one cares, I am just in Xuzhou to protect myself, will anyone be watching?" Zhao Jin said loudly.

"His kind, there are more than 100,000 people everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, ups and downs, who cares, you are like this, you say that you are protecting the territory and the people, but how can others believe it?" Wang Youshan said with a smile.

Zhao Jin was silent for a while, then raised his head and said: "Uncle Wang, now that the world is chaotic, there are nearly 100,000 homeless people crossing the river, hundreds of horses in broad daylight, and more than 1,000 private soldiers fighting, and now it seems that these may not be the extreme, there may be more and greater chaos in the future, how can you protect yourself if you don't improve yourself?" ”

"What the eldest brother said is that the displaced people are besieging the city, and at that critical juncture, we can only rely on the swords and guns in our hands, and only if we are self-reliant can we protect ourselves" Wang Zhaojing hurriedly echoed.

"This is not a troubled time" Wang Youshan's voice suddenly raised slightly, and his face became stern, Wang Zhaojing subconsciously shrank back, but Zhao Jin did not move.

"There is also the Son of Heaven, the imperial court, the official army, and the royal law, you said that these are just temporary chaos, what does it have to do with the world, and now the world is still peaceful, there are more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, what are these? How are they now, the Wako, the Alta, the Little Prince, and the Warat? I have been Ming until today, this is the destiny of heaven," Wang Youshan's tone became higher and higher.

Wang Zhaojing became more and more embarrassed, and reminded "father" in a whisper

"Loyalty, I treat you as my own nephew, I don't want to see you do the wrong thing, these years are strong and wanton, rampant lawless, the government doesn't care, but it can be done too much, that has a good end, Banzhou Yang family inheritance for 800 years, once the rebellion is not a clan annihilation, Ningxia Bo has thousands of fine horses, not a dead door, these are lessons from the past"

"Father" Wang Zhaojing's voice raised slightly, interrupting Wang Youshan's words, he hurriedly interjected and said: "Which one of the eldest brother is not doing the right thing for heaven, which one is not protecting the land and the people, father, how can you compare it with those anti-thieves and rebels, this is not"

I can see the word ridiculous from the shape of my mouth, but I couldn't help but say it, Wang Youshan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and was silent.

Banzhou Yang family, Ningxia Bo family, this is the so-called "three major expeditions" of the two, one in the southwest, one in the northwest, although both have Ming official positions, but in fact are local tyrants Tusi, strictly speaking, and Zhao Jin in Xuzhou at this time is a little similar.

But these two families were exterminated because of the rebellion, using such an example to advise Zhao Jin, it is inevitable that there is some curse, although Zhao Jin has not had much contact with Wang Youshan, but he also knows that Lu Dao will never hurt people with evil words with the cultivation of the other party, then again, Zhao Ziying also has a share of his Wang Zhaojing, if it is really involved, no one can escape.

Wang Youshan took a sip of the tea bowl, took a deep breath, and saw that Zhao Jin was about to speak, he waved his hand first, and when he spoke again, his tone had calmed down a lot.

"I" said a word, but Wang Youshan smiled dumbly, laughed a few times before continuing: "Today I was confused, walking around on your side, and unconsciously comparing you to those rebels when I spoke, but it made the virtuous nephew laugh." ”
