The imperial court's new policy on the imperial examination was distributed to all prefectures and counties, and the first person to respond was Liu Jian.

Liu Jian understands that in addition to the counties in Guanzhong, if the new policy can be implemented locally, someone must stand up and pick the lead first.

The person who issued the new deal, he has found Dong Zhuo as an agent, but in determining the matter of taking the lead, I am afraid that no one else will be able to take the initiative to stand up for him.

According to the temperament of the state and county ministers and the ministers of state, they must all judge the situation and respect the will of the imperial court on the surface, but in fact they do act according to the rules and regulations, without realizing it.

So this time, Liu Jian couldn't hide.

He decided to stand up himself and be the one who crossed the river by feeling the stones first.

In this world, it is impossible to do everything by others, and you must stand up when you should stand up.

As soon as the new policy of the imperial court was announced, Liu Jian immediately transmitted the decree of the imperial court to each county office in the name of the pastoral office, and ordered the county office to reach the county within the specified date, and then ordered the county to transmit the decree to the township at a specified time to ensure that the decree of the new policy was carried out.

Although there was no practical action, Liu Jian's behavior has already shown his determination to implement the new policy in Hebei.

……

"For example, the princes have not moved today, only the lord strictly abides by the order of the new policy of the imperial court and orders the time to issue the county and township, which in the eyes of the people of the world, the lord is the biggest supporter of the new policy in the local area, but this is not necessarily beneficial to the lord."

The person who said this was Jia Xu, and he came here today to sincerely persuade Liu Jian.

Liu Jian shook his head.

"I know everything Wen He said, but there are some things that cannot be avoided or hidden, in life, it is very important to protect oneself, but sometimes, when it is time to rush up, you must rush!"

"Although the unauthorized collector can live a long time and live all his life, from ancient times to the present, every major event in the world can be accomplished without making any sacrifices?"

"Wenhe, you are a person who is good at hiding, I know this, I also understand, people who are good at hiding can live a stable life in this life, but I am not you, what I want to do is not to ask for comfort, if I really want to seek stability, I will not sit in this position today."

Jia Xu listened to Liu Jian's words and was immediately a little moved.

But then, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"What the lord said is very true, Jia Xu is a person who only wants to be stable all his life, and the lord is a hero who is determined to save the common people, and the ambition of Xu can be described as the difference between heaven and earth, how can Jia Xu use his own ideas to limit the lord?"

Liu Jian shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not a restriction, it's just a suggestion, I understand that your suggestions are for my good, no matter what, I feel at ease to have someone like you by my side." ”

Liu Jian's words warmed Jia Xu's heart.

He is a smart person, and Liu Jian is also a smart person.

Liu Jian knew what Jia Xu wanted, and Jia Xu also knew what Liu Jian wanted, so the cooperation between the two of them has been very smooth sailing so far.

Jia Xu is very comfortable doing things for Liu Jian, because Liu Jian knows where his bottom line is, and he will never let himself do anything beyond his bottom line, or something he is unwilling to do, which Jia Xu has never felt in other people.

Jia Xu followed Liu Jian during this time, and was unconsciously attracted by his personality charm.

He began to gradually understand that Liu Bei, Liu Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Judge, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Xun Yu...... Why are so many people willing to surround Liu Jian's side, willingly become his confidants, go to the soup for him, and overcome obstacles for him.

That's because Liu Jian can give them real respect.

This respect is not the so-called corporal courtesy, nor is it the kind of superficial respect, but a kind of understanding and consideration for them from the heart.

Liu Jian knows where the bottom line of everyone under him is, so he never crosses the line.

At the same time, he also understands the character of everyone under him.

He intersects with these people according to this bottom line and character, and controls his friendship with these people within the scope of the bottom line rules.

It may sound simple, but it's not that simple.

This is a very costly affair that costs Liu Jian a lot of effort.

But the rewards are also enormous.

At least in this era, as the owner of the people, there are really not many people who can take the initiative to study the personality of his subordinates like Liu Jian.

……

"What is Wen He thinking?"

Liu Jian's soft call beckoned Jia Xu back from his contemplation.

Jia Xu hurriedly handed over his hand: "Xu Shicai is thinking about something. ”

"What?"

"Since the lord has decided to give priority to the implementation of the new policy of the imperial court, there will inevitably be an undercurrent in Hebei again, and right now, on the border of Youzhou, the internal campaign of Wuhuan has reached a peak, exactly. Guan Yunchang, Zhang Yide and others had a good time to calm Wuhuan in one fell swoop, at that time, it was better not to make any mess in Hebei, so I thought to myself, what can I do to help the lord determine this matter fairly? ”

Liu Jian was very happy when he heard this.

His face was full of smiles at the moment.

"Wenhe, you've changed a bit, do you know?"

When Jia Xu heard this, he was stunned.

"Where has the last officer changed?"

Liu Jian said with certainty: "If it is replaced by the original, between you and me, I must ask a question, you answer, some things, if I don't take the initiative to ask you, you will definitely not plan for me." ”

Liu Jian's words surprised Jia Xu very much.

He didn't expect Liu Jian to say such a thing.

But soon, a smile appeared on Jia Xu's face.

In fact, if you think about it, it is also right.

But why would you want to do it yourself?

I think it's because Liu Jian can give himself the greatest sense of security.

For the current Jia Xu, only by protecting Liu Jian will he have a more adequate sense of security.

Liu Jianruo was defeated.

Jia Xu may not be able to find a second person like this in his life.

Liu Jian asked, "Then have you come up with any strategies to help me stabilize the situation?" ”

Jia Xu was silent for a moment and nodded.

"If the lord wants to quickly implement the new policy in Hebei, and at the same time stabilize the situation in Hebei and not cause too fierce turmoil, then in Jia Xu's view, there is only one way."

"What's the solution?"

Jia Xu was silent for a while, and said:

"Kill."

There was an eerie silence between the two.

When he was young, Fang listened to Liu Jian slowly speak: "It's a good way." ”

"But, Wenhe, you must know that Liu is known for his faithfulness, I can kill people, but I can't kill people casually, and I can't kill many people indiscriminately."

"If you want to play a deterrent role in Hebei, it is useless to kill only one or two people, and if you want to kill, you must kill more."

"But how can I kill a lot of people indiscriminately?"

Jia Xu stood up from the spot.

He made a long gesture towards Liu Jian.

"Although Jia Xu has not followed the lord for a long time, he knows that the lord's faith and righteousness are people, the lord stands in the world with benevolence and righteousness, and everything he does is admired by all the people, and Jia Xu will naturally not let the lord kill innocents indiscriminately."

"Jia Xu thinks that the lord can kill people, but he must kill those who deserve it."

Liu Jian narrowed his eyes: "Dare to ask Wenhe, who is the one who deserves it?" ”

"Before, the forty people from the Wang clan who united Yuan Shu to rebel, shouldn't they die?"

Jia Xu's words made Liu Jian stunned for a moment.

Most of the more than 40 people in the prestigious family were controlled by Liu Jian's original design.

After Liu Jian arrested them, he asked them to find out their crimes, and then they were all imprisoned.

Among these people, except for Zhang Yi, who was scared to death after being whipped by Zhang Fei, the others are still eating in prison in Jizhou.

In fact, logically speaking, it should have been dealt with a long time ago, but the number of these people is too many, and Liu Jian has been considering a suitable sentencing.

But listening to Jia Xu's meaning today, it seems that he wants to kill them all.

"Kill them all?"

Jia Xu nodded: "Kill them all." ”

"Hehe, you're so poisonous."

Jia Xu's face did not change: "Does the lord think that they are not guilty to death?" ”

Liu Jian slowly propped up his body with his hands.

"I'm not afraid of killing people, even if I kill a lot of people at once, it's not a big deal, just killing more than forty people at once, will it cause some negative effects on me? That's what I've always been thinking about, and it doesn't matter to me whether I'm dead or not. ”

Jia Xu said: "Lord, in this world, no matter how benevolent and righteous the monarch is, it is bound to be stained with blood, this is not something that the lord's benevolence and righteousness can stop, no matter how benevolent and righteous the lord is, there are people who are hostile to you, it is impossible for all people to be influenced by the lord, and the lord's reputation cannot always be perfect, according to the last official, if you kill a thousand sinners, you can save the lives of millions of good people, so why be afraid of those so-called wind comments?" ”

"Besides, if these more than 40 clans are against the truth, the lord can draw up a table and deliver it to the imperial court, and after obtaining the strict decree of the imperial court, he can be publicly beheaded."

"It is only right for the Lord to kill these people, not indiscriminately."

"People always have to pay for their actions."

"Although the killing of these people has nothing to do with the promotion of the New Deal, once the blood of these thousands of heads is soaked in the streets and alleys of Jizhou's counties, the next step in implementing the New Deal, if anyone wants to oppose it, then they need to weigh it themselves."

Liu Jian suddenly stopped.

His eyes narrowed into slits.

Then, seeing him affirmatively, he said:

"Reasonable."
