Chapter Ninety-Eight: Worried for the People

What is God, there is a system god in the game, that is, the god in the mouth of the aborigines. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoActually, although this god also intervenes in the development of the game a lot of times, but according to Li Tang's understanding, this god basically does not prefer someone, or dislikes someone, and sometimes there is no tendency to naturally interfere in the game.

If you act according to the established rules, the system god will not interfere with you or help you, but if you wish to break the established rules, the system god will do everything possible to get things back on his original track.

The contemptible little Japanese district hoped to get the village building token by forcibly taking it away, but the result was that stealing chickens and rice did not make a loss, and the consequences were very serious. Therefore, since the system does not have the beauty of adults, there is naturally no such thing as God's favor.

If there really is a god who can act because of good and nothing, the messenger that Li Tang met should be regarded as yes, after all, they are powerful, and it doesn't take more than a minute to change a person's fate, Li Tang was abandoned by them on a desert island. But do they favor themselves?

Are you kidding! They wish they were trapped on that desert island forever! But fortunately, they are not still fooling around in the game, the system god still monitors their behavior, Li Tang can get that series of benefits, more or less the shadow of the system god's intervention!

"Huh! Make a career? How big does General Hansheng think we can do in the future? Li Tang asked deliberately.

"What a career is unimaginable. However, the last general heard that this Yizhou Island is extremely huge, if it can be fully developed, the territory of my Han will also be greatly increased, and the lord you must also be the hero of the Han Dynasty, and the merit can be compared to Wei Qing and Huo Quai. It's not impossible to come to the marquis! Huang Zhong said longingly.

It seems that at this time, although the Han Dynasty is full of holes, the foundation still exists, and the aborigines at the bottom are still concerned about the Han Dynasty, and those who have ill intentions are just those wealthy families.

Speaking of which, even the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which later completely destroyed the foundation of the Han Dynasty, had the shadow of these bureaucrats behind it. These gate valves control the way to go out, and the way to go out at this time is to inspect and requisition.

Probation includes filial piety, just imagine that even a morally corrupt gangster like Cao Mengde is filial piety, let alone others.

Zhengbi is to find some famous people to be officials, but this who has fame, who has no fame, but it is too subjective, it is too easy to hype up a thing in ancient times, even Kong Rong, who created the cannibalistic theory in later generations, knew to make pears when he was four years old, which is indeed inexplicably surprising!

The consequence of the investigation and requisition is that the person who is promoted and expelled becomes the protégé and former official of the lord and the lord of the house. For the sake of profit, protégés and former officials even did not hesitate to attach themselves and bribe them in order to consolidate their knots.

The big bureaucrats formed cliques with their protégés and former officials in order to increase their political power. Among the scholars and doctors in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a number of families of successive ministers were formed.

These people were the largest landlords, and they held high positions in the world, and their protégés and former officials were all over the world, so they were the leaders of the scholars. The relatives and eunuchs in power must connect with them and deal with them. The power of the gate lord clan in the state and county is more monopolistic, and in fact rules these states and counties.

These gate lords used the power in their hands, the upper part squeezed the imperial power, and the lower part forcibly occupied the people's property, so that most of the social wealth gradually gathered into the hands of a few gate valves, resulting in a huge social inequality between the rich and the poor. In this way, the imperial power used relatives and eunuchs to launch the disaster of the party, suppress the clan lords, and counterattack.

On the other hand, the people began to roar out of the woods and rebelled against tyranny. At the same time, in order to force the imperial power to submit, these scholars deliberately connived at the peasant uprising, hoping to use these uprisings to intimidate the imperial family, because the object of the peasant uprising was the emperor, not the real mastermind behind the scenes, because the peasants always thought that it was the emperor who exploited them!

In fact, no matter how much an emperor can eat, how much delicacies can he count, no matter how greedy an emperor is, how many coins can he count? In addition, these gatekeepers were fledgling at this time, and in the process of suppressing the uprising, they seized military power, robbed the people's property, robbed the people's fat and ointment, and extorted the national treasury, resulting in a decline in national strength.

Of course, in the end, their calculations did start, the imperial power was greatly weakened, the foundation of the Han Dynasty was completely shaken, the national strength was weakened to the extreme, those ambitious families gradually formed one warlord after another, and the states and counties no longer paid money and grain, and the Han Dynasty, which had existed for 400 years, finally fell apart.

The result of the melee of those careerists was that the population of the Han Dynasty fell from 60 million to more than 600 million, and then there was a hundred years of Wuhu chaos in China, during which the Han people were almost wiped out, and even in modern times, there were not many pure-blooded Han people.

Every time I think of this, I sigh gloomily, how smart the Han people are! But he still made such mistakes repeatedly, such as the chaos of the Wuhu in the late Han Dynasty, the invasion of the Jin and Mongolian people in the late Song Dynasty, the invasion of the Manchus in the late Ming Dynasty, the colonization of all countries in the late Qing Dynasty, and the colonization of the Japanese in the Republic of China!

The fable of the Chinese nation, "The snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits", can also be understood by children, but those who are smart in power do not understand? It's all the fault of greed!

As a contemporary ruler, we should indeed take this as a warning, how can wealth be passed on to thousands of generations, power is only a passing cloud, a bad one will only kill the clan, leave a stench for ten thousand years, and let the foreign race benefit!

Indeed, at this time, the vast majority of aborigines thought that the world was peaceful, and occasionally there were civil unrest in some places, but it was just a disease of ringworm, which was caused by the resistance of the people who could not survive due to local natural disasters, and it was easy to calm down. Therefore, even a grassroots general like Huang Zhong thought that he could be a marquis by expanding his territory.

Huang Zhong saw Li Tang there in a daze, so he quipped: "Lord, but are you thinking about what title you can give the marquis?" ”

Li Tang listened to Huang Zhong's joke, but he also retracted his thoughts. Said:

"To be honest, it doesn't matter if you don't seal the marquis. When I started building Linhai Village, I initially just wanted to make a living and have a place to sleep at night. As more and more homeless people arrived, I thought about protecting them from pirates. ”

"Later, when pirates attacked, in order to protect the villagers, I began to develop a navy army and began to sweep away the surrounding pirates. In order to defend against attacks on land, I have begun to sweep away the islands. Later, Linhai Village developed into Linhai Town, and even Linhai City, and it became today's situation step by step. ”

"In fact, why do you want to attack Yizhou Island, in fact, I also see the gap between my own strength and the mainland, in order to prevent the villagers of Linhai City from being bullied by those gate lords on the mainland, I want to find a large base, so that the people of Linhai City have more room for development."

Of course, this is a high-sounding statement, but it is also a half-truth.

"The Lord is merciful. In fact, it is really a waste for Shengfan to occupy such a large piece of territory, and the lord can let them out of barbarism and accept the baptism of Han civilization, which is a matter of merit for these Shengfan and their descendants! ”

Looking at this Huang Zhong's sycophant, it seems that being loyal is not necessarily loyal!

"General Hansheng, do you know when I came to you?" Li Tang accepted Huang Zhong's sycophants with peace of mind.

"The last will not know! I hope the Lord will make it clear! ”

"In fact, I have traveled around the world recently, and I have found that there are also undercurrents surging under this peaceful and prosperous world. It is said that above the court, relatives interfere in politics, eunuchs gain power, scholars compete for power, and the folk lords and wealthy families take advantage of the looting and wantonly embezzle the people's land, causing the people to become vassals of the wealthy family.

Fortunately, the weather was smooth, and the people were able to barely survive. Once it encounters a year of famine, it is estimated that it will cause a lot of civil unrest. We are able to cultivate a hundred elite soldiers. When the time comes, if there is a civil uprising on the mainland, we can also send elite soldiers at any time to help the court quell the chaos.

It's just a matter of quelling the chaos, but it's just a symptom, not a cure! The court is unstable, as long as there is a wind and grass below, I am afraid that the civil change will become normal! Therefore, I'm afraid that it is not so simple to help the court quell the chaos! ”

The last general was stupid, but he didn't think clearly about the key. But what does this have to do with summoning the last general? My lord, our top priority is to quickly pacify Yizhou Island and then vigorously develop Yizhou. The climate of Yizhou is warm, and the crops can be harvested three times a year, and when it develops, it may not be impossible to become a big granary. This is definitely a great benefit to our entire Han! ”

"I'm worried about that, too! Now I have a lot of troops in Linhai City, but I have been lacking the talent of a unique general, so I can get the help of Hansheng, which is a great luck for me Linhai City, and it is also a great luck for Han. However, this Yizhou Island is huge, and it is estimated that it will be possible to attack it in as little as three years or as long as five years. In recent years, the climate change in the mainland has been impermanent, and it is very likely that there will be major droughts and floods. Therefore, I want to look for more generals on the mainland who can take charge of themselves, so as to help us pacify this Yizhou Island as soon as possible. ”

Li Tang is not alarmist, he knows that the Yellow Turban Rebellion will happen at most in a year, but this news must not be told to Huang Zhong. Even if he did, Huang Zhong couldn't hear it, because the system didn't allow players to inform the aboriginal game about the development process.

Huang Zhong naturally didn't believe Li Tang's words, but he really agreed with Li Tang's words. In any case, if you can find more fierce people to join Linhai City, Linhai City's strength will definitely be on a higher level. And more people are coming, and Yizhou Island can be attacked earlier.

Moreover, there are many islands on this sea, and there is basically no possibility of drought on the sea.
