In the confusion, a voice suddenly asked me, "Why did he leave at the end and go to the next stop?"

I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw the fat man munching on a compressed biscuit, as if he was asking me just now.

I asked him, "What did you say?" but I noticed that I could hear voices when I asked, but I didn't open my mouth.

"I ask you why your little brother left at the end and went to the next stop?" replied the fat man, who actually heard it.

A sense of frustration pervaded my whole body, it was clear that the stuffy oil bottle had been here for a long time, and he had left here and headed for Changbai Mountain, apparently from here to get a clue.

I can't undo the process, but what he wants is definitely not here, so he will go to the next stop.

And we see the whole process of solving the problem, but we still don't know anything.

Why did the fat man ask me this all of a sudden? I was a little strange, but I couldn't remember what I was doing.

"Do you know the Zhang family?" the fat man asked again, "The Zhang family is so powerful, why do you have to work so hard to do these strange things?"

"Powerful?" I couldn't understand what the fat man was saying.

"Strong, they have no enemies, no one can beat them, what are they doing these strange things for?"

Also, for such a huge family as the Zhang family. With such a powerful and huge force, you really don't have any leverage to fight against them.

The internal system of the Zhang family at that time was extremely stable, this is the most terrible and orderly family I have seen, it is difficult for the system composed of people to achieve that kind of cohesion, I have always felt that the basic structure of the system formed by such uncontrollable things as people is fragile, but the Zhang family really surprised me.

So everything originated from the perverted self-control of the Zhang family, and this self-control came from their self-control that was different from ordinary people.

This kind of control, unless you negate the entire social system, you kill a few people, seize some property, and introduce some invaders, in fact, you can't change the status quo at all.

I was dizzy again, and the fat man asked me, "Dizzy again?"

"I want something. I said, and I suddenly wanted to think about how the Zhang family's strange institution worked.

The first impression that others have of the Zhang family, of course, that they really know them, or who are against them, must be the invisible but comfortable control, and the Zhang family has designed a social system in which there are rulers, middle classes, nobles, people at the bottom, and slaves.

These classes are constantly fighting, consuming their own elites and consuming time, such a closed ring, in which all the changes of dynasty are made. Everyone found themselves pinned, but the reason for being pinned down was very strong, neither the emperor nor the leader of the peasant uprising found that the Zhang family, who were watching them outside the ring, controlled all the details of this society so simply.

My mind is very confused, in fact, if you look at the history of China, you can completely find a terrible regularity, the history of China is a continuous cycle, and the same law will be reincarnated every few hundred to thousands of years.

If an emperor doesn't have any enemies, will he slowly discover that his empire is completely out of his control?

People will always sink into the problems in front of them, a person who does nothing is actually quite terrible, and inaction is equivalent to having a lot of time to observe other people's problems, so it is easy to find that these problems are a kind of control from "outside the ring".

So, can't make people without problems.

The Zhang family is especially good at serving the opposing sides at the same time, just like Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang around Liu Bang are actually in a gang, and they will act in front of each other after finishing their lines every day.

"I think it's better to let Liu Bang win the world in the end, Xiang Yu's personality is not easy to control. ”

"I think so, so when do you think it's better to schedule the decisive battle?"

"With the current situation, Xiang Yu's strength is still quite strong, and Liu Bang may not be able to win 100% when he fights Xiang Yu now, so I think that in the three months before the decisive battle, we need to arrange several small-scale battles to reduce Xiang Yu's strength by about 20 percent, so that we can be sure. ”

"Yes, but I think double insurance is needed. Liu Bang needs a general who can attack the fortifications. ”

"Then let's transfer someone from the patriarch, replace Han Xin, and transfer a team of 100 people from Zhang's family to Han Xin's troops. ”

"Yes, then I would suggest that Liu Bang reuse Han Xin. ”

"Then be it, I will leave Xiang Yu after I am fully deployed. Before the establishment of a new dynasty, we must deal with several points that we need to control. Jamming the emperor's guards, the treasury system, and the army's calling system, the task is complete. ”

I lit a cigarette, and the complaint in my head made me feel funny, and I sighed inwardly, and suddenly remembered a question my grandfather had asked.

This question was asked to me by my grandfather when I was young, and I don't know why I suddenly remembered it at this time, but when I thought about it, I immediately became anxious.

It was when my grandfather was in the yard with his eyes closed, and I asked him to give me riddles to guess (three years old to see old, I loved to guess riddles when I was a child, and now I have retribution, and my whole life has become a big riddle). My grandfather told me a few little riddles at the beginning, and I could easily guess them, and I always asked for something a little more difficult, but my grandfather couldn't resist it, and after thinking about it, he asked me a word.

"If you have a pile of gold and put it in a cave, and you find a guard to guard it, then I ask you, does this gold belong to you or to this guard?"

"Of course it's mine, my gold!" I thought I was smart.

My grandfather shook his head, "Unless you have the strength to defeat this guard and the ability to catch this guard anytime and anywhere, your gold belongs to the guard." ”

I was very confused, and my grandfather asked me again, "If you have an army fighting outside, and you send a general to command them, then, is this army yours or that general's?"

I thought about it, and this time I said a little timidly, "It should still be mine." ”

My grandfather shook his head: "Unless you can provide these soldiers with the gold they need, this army is not anyone's." However, your gold is not yours, it is your guards, and those soldiers already own the gold, so can you tell whether these soldiers are the largest, or the guards of the treasury are the largest, or the emperor who nominally owns them the greatest?"

I was too young to understand it at all, so I shook my head.

My grandfather said, "Generally speaking, whoever knows more is better than anyone else." ”

"The more the more?"

"Yes, no one knows where the emperor's gold is, so those soldiers can't snatch the gold themselves, they can only fight for the emperor in exchange for gold, and the guards don't know where the emperor's army is, so he can't run to the army and say, I can give the emperor's gold to everyone, as long as everyone can listen to me, kill the emperor. So the army can only fight, and the guard can only guard the gold. ”

"And then, is the emperor the most powerful?"

"The emperor is so powerful because he knows many, many secrets. However, in this world, there must be people who know more secrets than the emperor, and even, maybe there is a person who knows all the secrets in the world, then this person must be the most powerful. ”

"I don't understand, grandpa, so, if we want to be great, we need to know more secrets?"

My grandfather nodded: "That's what I used to think, secret is the source of all power, but secret is also the source of all pain. ”

"Grandpa, this riddle is not fun, I want to listen to the story. ”
