I'll leave Xi'an tomorrow, and to be honest, the tourism resources here are a bit overdeveloped. Because it promotes Datang culture too much, it destroys Datang culture, which is my intuitive experience.

What I saw and heard along the way in Xi'an basically did not help me write this book, but made me want to reduce the relevant plot about Chang'an City.

I'm afraid that my book will be clichéd and Internet celebrity, thinking that Datang's Chang'an can replace Datang's culture.

The first reaction in people's minds is those cheap Internet celebrities Tang wearing background TV series.

So it's better to end your trip a day early.

I want to go to Kangkang near Taiyuan.

In the great history of the waves, the power of any one person is limited and small. My writing is also innovative.

For example, according to the ordinary historical Shuangwen, Xiao Fang should have controlled part of Hexi's strength by now!

But in fact, in the book, Xiaofang is now giving up almost all the interests on the Hexi side, which can be understood as nothing in the strategy game.

First, if you have selfish intentions, you must not be able to hide from Brother Ji, and secondly, it is the norm in the world for people to go to tea and cool, and others will not be loyal to you for no reason. Moreover, this so-called loyalty is limited, has boundaries, needs to be connected by ties of interest, and needs to have strong punishment means to maintain discipline.

When the author himself went to work as a leader, he didn't even understand how many people under him tossed. At the time, it felt like they were stupid donkeys, but now that I think about it, there are actually a lot of things that are human.

So I have always believed that those protagonists who don't know how to control their brains can let others work for him unconditionally in the feudal era. This is from my life experience.

Regard it as a strategic game, what forces are controlled, and how many resources are accumulated on the surface, this kind of idea is quite unrealistic, and without the pressure of war, there is no so-called "secession as king".

For example, after I crossed over, I opened a lot of restaurants in Chang'an. It's like I've become a modern-day capitalist.

Do you need people to manage these restaurants? How do talents control them? Which agency pays payroll? Who will monitor the movement of funds? What should I do if the shopkeepers unite to mess with me? What should I do if the powerful come to find fault? I'm not usually in Chang'an, or I have a lot of bed mates, and most of the time I spend my time comforting them in bed, and I don't have time to manage these hotels?

In the author's own experience, in the absence of instant messaging, it is extremely simple for the people below to put you in the air. Even if there is a so-called division between master and servant, there are often "slaves and big bullies" in history. Again, being alone, you really can't do anything. Many books are too fake to read, that is, they ignore the process and means.

It's easy to understand.

For example, now the parliament of the corrupt country has decided to give up all the resources of the corrupt country to me, so that I can enjoy and allocate it alone.

Well, according to the strategy game, now I can already start thinking about national annexation. I have nuclear weapons, how many territories, how many people and resources, how many troops.

But in reality, in fact, I can't do anything, and I even have to pay for a plane ticket to the corrupt country at my own expense.

Why is this happening?

In fact, this is a question of the exercise of power.

Theoretically, I have power, and I have to think about how to exercise it, and I can't omit this fulfillment process.

Otherwise, it's just a false power.

So if Brother Ji let Xiao Fang be the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, then how much power does Xiao Fang have?

In fact, it's not that big, because Xiao Fang's orders all need to be endorsed by the imperial court, and then those people also have their own ideas. Only when the social structure of the grassroots level of Datang undergoes qualitative changes, can the small side respond to all calls.

Otherwise, if he transfers troops into Beijing, who will listen to him? Barely listening, how can such an army win a battle?

These are the questions that many people who like to play strategy games in history often deliberately ignore.

Unless Xiao Fang operates in Hexi by himself, hollows out the military structure, and replaces it with his own people. Let the local people in Hexi not know the imperial court, and the operation of the government is empty, etc. But these small actions have nothing to do with the appointment of Brother Kei.

True power is always from the bottom up, not the other way around.

This is from the outside to the inside, so how about controlling Datang from the inside out from another angle.

Suppose that Brother Ji is about to hang up, and Xiao Fang is a personal janissary, or even a janissary, so how to control the political situation?

Are there die-hard groups, and what do they rely on to unite them? What are these people's capabilities? What is your family background?

If you are all royalists, then who are you protecting, and why are you the leader? If you are a leader, then what do you rely on to lead others? Are you going to assist or use the new emperor as a puppet?

If it's a puppet, how can you not expose yourself when Brother Ji is not dead? How to ensure that there are no two or five boys placed by others in the little brother? How do you beat the competition?

One question leads to a hundred! Layer by layer of detail, in the end, you will find: it's so difficult.

If you want to be from the inside out, then, do you yourself want to lead troops? Where do the soldiers come from and what are their compositions? How much? Where do you usually eat, and who is in charge of logistics and supplies?

If you don't know how to fight, you have to find a reliable thug, such as Guo Ziyi. But what if he backhanded you in the air?

Therefore, you must be very good at using soldiers, preferably Zhao Kuangyin.

But no one is born to fight, so where does your ability to lead troops come from? And how is it convincing?

What if you are very smart and can learn everything at once, but your generals just strangle you to death with their hands?

People who are very weak in force will face a lot of risks, so should the protagonist's force be stronger?

Okay, if you want to be strong in force, in good health, and able to fight, then does the protagonist want to learn and exercise? Where does his power come from? How is it reflected in the plot?

The plot logic of many books does not make sense, just look at it and laugh and it's over.

But should the writer of the historical essay write it well?

My book is that Xiao Fang is not so brave, and he will not do things beyond his ability, and there will be no things in the plot that are out of the background of historical dynasties. I don't even know how to write some of the blind spots in the grassroots of the Tang Dynasty.

That's right, the historical records of the Tang Dynasty have blind spots, and the grassroots organizations lack details. How the bottom society operates and how the manor economy operates are actually blind spots, and there are very few historical materials. If you don't understand the situation, I won't make it up, in short, the book is based on the background of the story with recorded cases, and it won't pop up some strange things. So comparatively speaking, the plot will not be so exciting.

This idea, in the third volume, will become the mainstream of the book.
