The two came to the house with the gift box, Han Liu had already heard the sound and cleaned himself up, and hurriedly got up to salute, and Wu Yinzhi also hurriedly returned the salute.

After seeing the ceremony, Han Kangbo gave Han Liu a color and asked her to buy food, in fact, to take something to exchange for some wine and meat to come back to entertain guests.

Han Liu naturally understood what her husband meant, and quietly prepared to go out.

Wu Yinzhi stopped her and said, "It's too unsafe to let my sister-in-law go out in a chaotic manner outside, just prepare some food." There is no shortage of wine, I brought a jar of Tang wine and asked Brother Kang to taste it. ”

Han Kangbo knew that the other party had already investigated his own situation, and he didn't want to embarrass himself before he said this, so he was very grateful in his heart, and said: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, then you're not welcome to be a brother." ”

Wu Yinzhi said with a smile: "Although you and I are not brothers, but we are better than brothers, don't say anything extraordinary." ”

After speaking, they sent the gift box to the inner courtyard together, and then returned to the lobby to chat.

Since ancient times, there has been no rule of opening gifts in front of guests, and sending them to the backyard and then opening them is also a compromise method.

Han Liu opened the gift box and showed a surprised expression when he saw the contents inside.

A complete set of rouge gouache from the Tang Kingdom is expensive, and only the daughters of wealthy families can afford it, and she can only fantasize about it before.

There are also several iron boxes, and when I opened them, I found that there was a jar of white sugar, a jar of brown sugar, and snacks such as preserved fruits and candied fruits, all of which were extremely expensive supplies.

There were still a few boxes that she hadn't opened, but looking at the words on them were cans. She had also heard of this kind of thing, which was said to be the rations of the Tang army, and ordinary soldiers could eat it.

There is also a jar of liquor contained in a transparent glass jar, and the wine is still secondary, the key is that this glass jar can be sold for at least thousands of gold coins.

Suffice it to say, most of the contents of this box only exist in legends for her, and this gift is too heavy.

She is also a woman who has read books and has a certain amount of knowledge, and she thinks more.

It seems that this Wu Yinzhi is outstanding in the Tang Kingdom, and I don't know if he can help his husband in a certain official position in the Tang Kingdom when he comes back this time.

She fully believes in her husband's ability, and as long as she is given a chance, she will definitely get ahead.

Thinking of this, my heart was hot, and I carefully picked up the wine jar and prepared to eat.

Her son Han Yi looked at the snacks with blank eyes, sucked his fingers and said, "Mother, I want to eat." ”

She saw another heartache, grabbed a handful of preserved fruits and said, "Take it and eat it slowly." ”

The little one's eyes lit up immediately, and he grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth.

After a while, a few plates of food were prepared, and they didn't use canned food or anything like that Wu Yinzhi brought, but their own side dishes.

If you can talk about the past with the wine brought by your friends, you can't talk about it if you entertain others with the food they brought.

Han Kangbo was very calm and didn't feel embarrassed at all, this is the best thing in my family, and I am not embarrassed to use it to entertain my friends.

Wu Yinzhi also didn't feel that there was anything wrong, his friend brought out the best things to entertain him, he would only be grateful and not feel simple.

So both of them are very calm.

It was when Han Kangbo saw the glass wine jar that he sighed heavily, and then said, "It's embarrassing, I've written it down." ”

Why do you say that, using a glass wine jar to give gifts, to put it bluntly, is giving that wine jar instead of wine, and doing so is just taking care of Han Kangbo's face.

Wu Yinzhi also knew that he couldn't hide his plans from the other party, and said: "Brother Kang Bo has taken care of my father and brother for so many years, and it is difficult to repay this situation even if he is broken. ”

Han Kangbo said ashamedly: "When I recommended Brother Tan to serve under Xie Tingshi, how could I have thought ...... I'm sorry for you. ”

Wu Yinzhi also showed a sad look and said: "I can't blame you for this matter, it's my brother's life that deserves this catastrophe, and I believe that he won't blame you under Jiuquan." ”

His brother Wu Tanzhi was recommended by Han Kangbo to join Xie Yi's subordinates as an official, and was killed in battle when he followed Xie Yi to attack Shimen.

Wu Yinzhi was naturally very sad after knowing about this, but he did not blame Han Kangbo. He is not an unreasonable person, and he really can't blame people for this.

On the contrary, if there was no Han Kangbo's care all these years, it is difficult to say whether his brother would survive, let alone become an official.

The two of them simply paid tribute to Wu Tanzhi with wine, and this matter was revealed.

After that, they talked about their respective experiences after separation, Han Kangbo's experience was nothing to say, and he relied on his uncle Yin Hao's relationship to show talent.

But he knew that the court was a puddle of troubled water, and he was from a poor family and it was difficult to protect himself by jumping into it rashly, so he refused to go out, but he was always looking for an opportunity to go out in private.

This waited until the invasion of the Tang Kingdom.

In comparison, Wu Yinzhi's experience is very rich, he went to the Tang Kingdom to get the attention of the Tang Emperor, and when he came out of the Hongwen Pavilion, he directly entered the center as a cabinet walker.

Later, he participated in major tasks such as negotiations with Baekje, and when Funan was annexed, he went to the local government to accumulate experience for several years, and this time he was recalled to participate in the war with the army in the Central Plains.

"Brother Comber's talent is above mine, I want to recommend you to Your Majesty, I hope my brother will not refuse."

Han Kangbo shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's really ...... The kingdom of Jin is kind to me, how can I turn my back on the Lord and vote. ”

Wu Yinzhi seemed to have expected him to answer like this, and said: "I know my brother's concerns, Your Majesty has already personally commanded a large army to attack Jiankang, and the winner will be determined in a few days, and I will recommend my brother at that time." ”

Han Kangbo said: "Thank you for being silent. ”

If he must have scoffed at it before, would Jiankang be so easy to beat? But he had seen the power of firearms with his own eyes, and knew that Jiankang would not be able to hold it.

This is also one of the reasons why he is willing to take refuge in the Tang Kingdom.

As long as you are not stupid, you know that the Jin Kingdom is coming to an end, or that no country in the world can resist the Tang Army, and the world will belong to the Tang State sooner or later.

Turning to it is the only option.

But people are emotional creatures and have too many concerns. Jin Guo promoted him as a showman, which was kind to him, and it was not good to turn his back on the lord and vote for his reputation. If the Jin Kingdom perished, there would be nothing to worry about.

Well, isn't it a bit of a 'revenge for killing your father, but what if the enemy is too strong?' Break off the father-son relationship, right?'

Wu Yinzhi continued: "Many laws and regulations in the Tang Kingdom are very different from those of other countries, so I specially brought some books here, and Brother Kang can read one or two first, and he will save a lot of trouble in the future." ”

Han Kangbo naturally knew that the Tang Kingdom was different from other countries, and those wealthy and powerful neighbors who disappeared were the best proof of this.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Tang Guo seems to hate the powerful and powerful?" ”

Wu Yinzhi sighed and said: "The Tang State does not hate the big families, it hates the strong and powerful gentry and the bad gentry and bullies, and targets the strong and powerful of the gentry in the laws of the country. ”

Han Kangbo said: "There are many scholars in the Jin Kingdom, what are they going to do with it, right?" ”

Wu Yinzhi nodded and said, "I'm already doing it...... Huiji County opened a killing spree, and more than 3,000 warriors were killed. ”

Han Kangbo couldn't help but gasp, there are only a few warriors in this world, and more than 3,000 people have been killed in Huiji County alone, which almost means that they have been cleaned.

"They are not afraid of ......" As soon as the words came out, he was taken back by himself.

There are firearms, and Tang Guo is really not afraid of the resistance of the remnants of the warrior clan, just push it flat.

"But if you kill all these people, who will govern the country?"

……

Huan Wen also asked the same question, after cleaning up the heroes and strongmen of the Shi clan, who will govern the country?

Wen Yi replied to him like this: "How many people are there in the Shi clan? The total number of people is less than 10,000, and it is the vast number of Hanmen who really govern the world, but the scholars control the upward channel. ”

Huan Wen said: "Those cold families are not much stronger than the Shi clan, and once they take power, they will find a way to turn themselves into new Shi clans." ”

Wen Yi said: "Yes, there is no difference between the Han Sect and the Shi Clan in essence, so we must use them selectively, not everyone." ”

"As early as a few years ago, we began to train officials, and we can draw at least 30,000 qualified officials to carry out my will."

Huan Wen shook his head and said: "The world is very big, and 30,000 officials are simply not enough. ”

Wen Yi said: "It's really not enough, so I'm ready to convert the military to the civilian population." ”

"The first soldiers to join the army are also older, it's time for them to return to their families, and I am ready to let 100,000 veterans retire from the army and go to local officials."

Huan Wen was surprised and said, "Now? This...... It's the time to employ people, and it's not good. ”

Wen Yi said with a smile: "There's nothing bad about it, after taking the Yan Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, we will have enough population, and one retired can recruit two." ”

"Those people who have been assigned land and turned over to become masters are the best source of soldiers, and they will take the initiative to stand up and defend their land."

"Speaking of which, I also want to thank Wang An, it was he who helped me make up this mind, otherwise I would still be worried about how to balance the relationship between the nobles and the officials of the Tang State."

"If you want to build a new era, you have to break the old era, and trying to compromise will only lead to nothing."

Wen Yi said silently in his heart, this is the essence of revolution.

Huan Wen was speechless for a moment, and no one felt it more deeply than him. Originally, most of his 200,000 troops were rebelled in just over a month.

Especially after the public trial of the powerful and inferior gentry in the division of land, he simply became the most loyal supporter of the Tang State.

There are also people who were not taken into their eyes before, and they really used their shoulders to help the Tang Army transport supplies.

The biggest reason why the Tang army could throw off logistics and go on a rampage was that it had the support of the people at the bottom.

The army only needs to conquer a city, leave a few dozen warriors to garrison, and then send officials to complete the rule.

There is no need to worry about rebellion at all, the common people will beat the rebels to death with the farm tools in their hands to protect the soldiers and officials of the Tang State.

Thinking of this, he said from the bottom of his heart: "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world." ”

"Haha......" Wen Yi laughed and said: "You finally understand, the world is originally the world of the people of the world, and we are just representatives of the people." How can those who betray themselves last long? ”

"This calls the people as water, the king as the boat, and the water carries the boat, and the water overturns the boat."

Huan Wen said: "I was taught." ”

Wen Yi was also very happy, he still felt that he had governed the Tang Kingdom very well, but after contacting Huan Wen, he realized that he still thought that governing the country was too simple.

The reason why he was able to govern the Tang State well was not because he was strong, but because the Tang State was an emerging country and had not yet become corrupt.

As the founding monarch of the country, he has enough prestige, and the new ideas make most of the people and officials of the Tang Kingdom have a belief in him, and his will can be carried out without discount.

But when the world is unified, the vast territory, the huge population base, and the complex population ...... It would make the whole country more complicated.

At that time, it will be very difficult for him to carry out his will as easily as before.

What to do at this point?

He didn't know.

Huan Wen told him several methods, although these methods may not be applicable to the future Tang Kingdom, but at least they have reference meaning.

So Wen Yi always took him with him, asked for advice from time to time, and also hoped to transform him with new ideas, and after so many days of communication, it finally had an effect.

Of course, it would be a lie to say that Huan Wen would soon become a supporter of new ideas, at this time he just realized the importance of the people, and he was still full of disdain to let him put down his identity and be with the people.

But either way, it's a step forward.

And at this point, Huan Wen also completely recognized that the general trend of Tang State's domination of the world has become irreversible. Even without firearms, land reform and this new idea alone can defeat all hostile forces.

What's more, a complete system of rule has been formed within the Tang State, which can replace the old rules, and it has become unrealistic to expect them to collapse on their own.

There is no point in continuing to wait and see, and it will only miss the opportunity to take refuge.

After thinking about these things clearly, he said: "Your Majesty, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Huan Huonaichen's brother, I want to repair a letter to him, persuade him to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, please allow Your Majesty." ”

Wen Yi said: "Haha...... Okay, if Brother Ling can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, it will also be a blessing in the world. ”

Huan Huo always stood still, neither did he fight nor rebelled. Everyone understands his intentions, but he just wants to wait and see.

If the Tang State can win the world, they will surrender again, and if the Tang State makes a mistake, they will still be loyal servants of the Jin State.

Putting eggs in different baskets was the most common method of the scholars, and this behavior reached its peak during the Three Kingdoms period.

The Zhuge clan is a typical representative, the three brothers were divided into three families, and in the end, the Sima family won the world, and the Zhuge family was still among the top scholars.

Later dynasties were deeply disgusted with this kind of behavior, and it completely disappeared by the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Huan Wen wanted to use the method of betting on both ends, which is understandable in this era.

But Wen Yi will definitely not let it go, the focus is on attacking Yangzhou and Jiangzhou at the moment, and after these two places are taken, Jingzhou will be located.

At that time, if Huan Huo still wants to sit on the ground, the price will be raised...... So many scholars have been killed, and Wen Yi doesn't mind killing one more.

Fortunately, Huan Wen was still acquainted, and he didn't wait for that time to surrender on his own initiative.

And once Jingzhou surrenders, it will also mean the demise of the Jin State.
