Chapter 50: The Hidden Dangers of the Scholars
Wu Quan fled in panic, Zhao Yi's heart was remorseful, Qin Tian's cheerful roar, and the morale of the Wushuang Army was high, intertwined in the sky above the territory of Jiangling County.
Qin Tian looked at this scene, and his heart was even more arrogant, and he said to Lu Xun: "In a short time, this will be our territory, and even the whole world, the whole world!" ”
Lu Xun arched his hand at Qin Tian and said: "The monarch has this ambition, and he has the name of recruiting talents, it is a matter of time before he swallows thousands of miles like clouds, and the monarch is still young and has enough time to dominate the whole world." Qin Tian's heart can't be calm, how can Lu Xun calm down, the first head-on confrontation is enough to show that the unequaled army he trained is a real elite infantry that will win battles and conquer, although there are still two trainings that have not been completed, but Lu Xun is confident that as long as the training of the entire unequaled army is completed, then it can become a real invincible army.
Qin Tian looked at the Wushuang Army and said: "The number of people is still too small, try to get it, each Wushuang Army will give a certain amount of settling expenses, and if the conditions are met, you must get it in anyway, in addition, don't make up the numbers on purpose, I'd rather lack than abuse!" ”
Lu Xun bowed his head and bowed his hand, indicating that he received the order.
Qin Tian waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go back to Zhenguo first, and go back to see what Lingling County is like!" Hahahaha! Qin Tian couldn't help but think of Xun Yu's original three strategies of heaven, earth and man, I'm afraid that even if Lingling County was not directly paralyzed this time, it would be greatly damaged!
Human policy: "The minister's meaning is to spread the benevolence and virtue of our army in the territory of Fang State, and lure its cultivators with a reclamation order; with low commercial taxes to lure their merchants; With a low tax rate, it lures its people. Cultivators, merchants, and ordinary people are inseparable from the fact that there are few strong people in the family, and there are many young and strong soldiers, so these three things induce their soldiers to leave their posts, cut their troops, cut off their minions, and destroy their prestige. ”
Strategy: "One of my strategies is very simple, the key point is in the spring harvest, order a general, drive the cavalry, destroy its fertile land, so that its grain and grass can not be sustained, this is also a local strategy." ”
Tiance: "Confirming the time of heaven, this moment coincides with the covenant of the Xiangyang Alliance, and after he leaves, the news of his death is spread, causing internal disturbances. ”
Thinking of this, Qin Tian's sense of expectation in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he said to Lu Xun with great interest: "Yes, hurry back, I want to see what Wu Quanhui's expression is!" ”
However, Qin Tian didn't notice Zhao Yi's expression at the moment, what did he hear just now? Qin Tian thought that he and Lu Xun were talking in a low voice, but at that time, Qin Tian was full of arrogance in his heart, and the volume was naturally higher, which happened to be heard by Zhao Yi, who was about to come over.
"In a short time, this will be our territory, and even the whole world, the whole world!"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, bombarding Zhao Yi's heart, there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, and the shock in his heart became even stronger when he heard that Qin Tian had already started to launch a strategy against Lingling County before this.
In just a moment, what Qin Tian said shocked Zhao Yi and admired him a lot, what he admired was not Qin Tian or Lu Xun, but his second brother Zhao Yi, his second brother Zhao Yi once said in a letter.
"Help Zhenguo at all costs!"
In just ten words, Zhao Yi was still a little puzzled, and he didn't know why the second brother with the most eyesight in the clan was like this, but now, Zhao Yi understands everything!! I see!!
Second brother has good eyesight!
Thinking of this, he repaired a book on the spot, wrote what he had just seen and heard into the letter, and then handed it over to his three henchmen, a sheepskin divided into three parts, which is called three hair one, which is specially used for important secret letters, to prevent the secret envoy from being captured, thus losing the letter, three hair one from the Spring and Autumn period appeared in a special way of secrecy, so that even if one of them is captured, and the other two are safe and sound, so that a little guess can know the mystery.
After receiving the secret letter, the three secret envoys quickly left and rode towards Hebei!
When Zhao Yi raised his head again, Qin Tian and Lu Xun had already led the Wushuang Army and the two hundred sins to ride a long way, and Zhao Yi hurriedly ordered someone to bring horses to follow.
On February 27th, after five days of rapid travel, and there was no incident along the way, it passed through Wuling County smoothly and officially entered Lingling County, and when it arrived at Xianyang County on the border of Lingling County, it was already dark.
A group of thousands of people arrived at the foot of Xianyang City, and Xun Yu had already waited again, he had been waiting for two days, seeing nearly a thousand people and horses entering Xianyang City, Xun Yu's handsome face showed a smile, and then led everyone down the city wall to lead Qin Tian.
Xun Yu just saw Qin Tian, leading dozens of officials of Xianyang County, large and small, kneeling on the ground, with their buttocks facing the sky, shouting: "Welcome back of the monarch!" ”
Long live the mountain, like the tide of eternal auspicious Qin Tian, Qin Tiangao sat on the horse and said: "Zhongqing is flat!" For more than 20 days alone, thank you for what you have done in Zhenguo. ”
"The ministers are willing to serve the king!"
Qin Tian raised his sleeves slightly, let everyone get up, and then got off the horse and walked towards the city, and Dazai Xunyu led the horse for Qin Tian, and said as he walked: "During the more than 20 days that the monarch was away, except for some small actions of the officials elected by the scholars, I don't know what happened in the Zhaoxian Pavilion a few days ago, dozens of scholars from various countries suddenly appeared, staying in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, all the food and drink expenses are free, and each of them has arranged a servant to wait, these people were eliminated by Gu Jian, and they should all have some talents." ”
Qin Tian paused, frowned and said, "A few days ago? ”
Xun Yu nodded and said to Qin Tian, "It should be influenced by the Xiangyang Alliance. ”
Qin Tian was stunned, and then said to Xun Yu: "It's time to start the second cleaning, right?" ”
Xun Yu nodded and said, "Zhanzhi, Xiao Luo, and Xi Shu, these three people's abilities are no longer enough to become the four divisions. ”
Qin Tian and Xun Yu walked towards the city, and asked Xun Yu and said, "Is there any evidence?" ”
Xun Yu frowned and said, "Zhanzhi, I have received bribes a few times, all of which are gifts from those scholars when they wooed him, worth about four hundred gold. ”
Qin Tian's face was a little gloomy, and he nodded and asked, "What about the other two?" ”
Xun Yu took out a cowhide roll from his arms, checked it and said: "Xiao defeated, extravagant style, received a bribe, and it was also from the scholar clan, but the value was only 100 gold, it may be that the poor man was too used to it, as for Xi Shu, he did not accept any bribes, and he was very upright. ”
Xun Yu seemed to see something, and said: "Tong Fei, this person has reported that the Shi clan is not very stable, and Gu Zhi and his younger brother Gu Jian are from the Gu family of Xianyang County, and now they have moved to Ziyang City, bought many shops, and truthfully handed over fifty percent of the interest share, they are a relatively wise Shi clan, and the monarch can consider wooing them." ”
Qin Tian nodded, stood in front of the palace gate, and said to Xun Yu, "You say...... What should these nobles do? ”
Xun Yu lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Suppress the Shi clan and eliminate it...... Only one or two families can be eliminated, and it is unrealistic to want to eliminate all the scholars, first of all, all the scholars cannot have private soldiers, and the existence of any form of slaves and servants of the whole clan and the family shall not exceed 300 people...... The land was all state-owned, and all the nobles were not allowed to control the land and tenants, which must have disappeared by the time the reclamation decree appeared. ”
Qin Tian knew that those scholars only had family interests in their eyes, and the interests of the country were empty talk in their eyes, and suppressing the scholars as much as possible was something that Qin Tian wanted to do, so he said to Xun Yu: "Let's do this first, issue the first article first, and send out shadow raids to closely monitor and see how these scholars react." ”
Xun Yu's expression was not very happy, this time those scholars estimated that they would not be able to endure it, and then said to Qin Tian: "The monarch will live in this palace tonight." ”
Qin Tian nodded and said, "Plus a few scholars in Xianyang County, how many scholars are there in my Zhen Kingdom?" ”
Xun Yu said: "There are eleven families in total, and all large and small families have sent people to enter the Zhenguo Dynasty through the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and some of them have bribed the existing four divisions. ”
Qin Tian nodded and said, "Tomorrow, you can select those well-behaved scholars who can be wooed, and assign them the official positions at the county level in Xianyang County." ”
After Qin Tian slept in Xianyang County for one night, he just finished breakfast on the second day, so he set off with Lu Xun and Zhao Yi to Ziyang County, handed over two thousand war horses to Zhao Yun, made up the number of three thousand elite cavalry, just entered the imperial study, sat down and took a sip of tea.
At this moment, February 28 is approaching noon.
Xun Yu walked into the imperial study with steady steps, and said to Qin Tian: "A total of four scholars rebelled and wanted to conquer many counties in Ziyang County and Xianyang County, and they were all cleared, and the six scholars dismissed many slaves on the surface, but they concealed the data privately, and were fined 1,000 gold by each of the ministers as punishment, two of them wanted to rebel and have been razed, and the remaining four families honestly paid 1,000 gold, and dismissed the excess slaves and family members; Only one of the nobles was ordered to dismiss their slaves. ”
Qin Tian paused for a moment to drink tea, and said, "The remaining six families have complaints." ”
Xun Yu sighed and said: "Yes, the current scholars, first, have no land and tenants, at most they are divided into dozens of acres of land by Zhenguo, and they grow their own; Second, half of the income of the shops secretly controlled is owned by the state, and third, the right to speak in the court has been lost, which is sad and lamentable, and the minister thinks that the four families are ready to move out of Zhenguo. ”
Qin Tian snorted coldly: "Let's go, when the Zhen Kingdom becomes stronger, they will be destroyed sooner or later." ”
Xun Yu said in Qin Tian's ear: "Then the doctors of the Zhen Kingdom will form a new clan of scholars. ”
Qin Tian said with a smile: "The scholars who have no land and rely on fifty percent of the income of the shops can't afford to make big waves. ”
Xun Yu sighed and said, "The people of the Shadow Attack Sect should keep an eye on them." ”
Qin Tian nodded, Qin Tian didn't disagree with the transformation of his subordinates into the Shi clan, those who were loyal to him, Qin Tian could allow it, and if they were not loyal, then destroy them!
ps: I wrote this chapter for three hours, and I've been struggling with the convenience of the scholars, I'll write less about the scholars, and briefly explain it, no matter whether everyone is satisfied or not, publish my views on the scholars in the book review area, so that I have some bottom in my heart.
