On the other hand, after receiving the news from Qin Tian, the little fox's attitude towards this matter was not as positive as Mu Chun's.

Because the little fox knows that his basic plate is actually a demon cultivator, not a human being.

The little fox is very smart, she knows that what she wants is nothing she gets.

So the little fox was never greedy.

Therefore, she naturally chose to give up this path.

Of course, since this was Qin Tian's news to her, she wouldn't be so completely unconcerned.

She still has to do it, but she doesn't focus on the human world.

The real center of the little fox is in the animal world, and she and her disciples are dedicated to discovering the gifted animals of the human world and the natural world.

And if this matter is done well, it will still be of great help to the little fox to gather the spiritual creatures of the human world.

Because in this way, the little fox is equivalent to having an official identity and a background in the imperial court, and when facing ordinary people, this layer of relationship is often better than any other identity.

So although he didn't care much about the human monks, the little fox was still doing his best to do it.

Similarly, Mu Chun doesn't want to see a dominant family, in her eyes, Zhao Kuangyin must not be able to compete with the little fox.

So she must also stand up to prevent the little fox from becoming a dominant family in the future.

As for Lingxia...... She's just a kitten waiting to die, what can she think?

Ling Xia's favorite thing to do every day now is to sit in the classroom while the students are practicing.

On the surface, it seemed to be careless, but whenever a student came to ask for advice, a touch of joy would appear on Ling Xia's face.

Or pride? Readily?

Anyway, even Qin Tian couldn't figure out what was going on in this little kitten's head.

In the final analysis, tigers are also felines, and after being a kitten for so long, maybe Lingxia really has the appearance of a kitten.

After getting Qin Tian's guidance, Zhao Kuangyin seemed to gradually understand what he should do.

So in the following period of time, Zhao Kuangyin showed no ambition.

Through various lobbying and joint efforts by his subordinates, Zhao Kuangyin was even willing to pay money in exchange for temporary peace when necessary.

As a result, the alliance that had been intensifying was quietly split.

Everyone was not monolithic in the first place, and the alliance gathered because of interests must eventually be divided because of interests.

Zhao Kuangyin seized this rare period of peace, recuperated and restored national strength.

Centralization is also the first thing Zhao Kuangyin needs to face.

When it comes to centralization, the first thing that needs to be considered is naturally the issue of military power.

At first, Zhao Kuangyin didn't care about this matter, because all the people who held the military power were Zhao Kuangyin's old friends, so this matter was not a high priority.

But Zhao Pu was repeatedly persuasive.

And one of the sentences that touched Zhao Kuangyin the most was: Isn't Your Majesty afraid of another Chenqiao mutiny?

This sentence suddenly woke Zhao Kuangyin up.

It is true that Zhao Kuangyin trusts his old friend, but many times, when you are in a certain environment, what to do next is no longer up to you.

It's like at the beginning of the Chen Qiao Mutiny, although this matter was planned by himself, but if there was no incident of the day, could he not be the emperor?

Once your rights and status have reached a certain level, it is up to you to decide what to do next.

If his subordinates followed his example in the Chenqiao Mutiny, what should he do?

In fact, in the final analysis, Zhao Kuangyin said that he trusted his old subordinates, but he still had some suspicions in his heart.

But another question is also plaguing Zhao Kuangyin, if the military power is reduced, then whose hands should this military power be in its hands?

If it's just a change of general, then there is no point in doing so, it's just a rebellion and a change of person.

But if it is handed over to the literati, then he has to go back to the question that Qin Tian once asked him.

Let a group of civil servants who have never been on the battlefield control the army, how much combat effectiveness can such an army have?

After thinking about it, in desperation, Zhao Kuangyin still found Qin Tian.

……

"I really don't want to trouble the immortals, but I can forgive the villains and ordinary people, I really don't understand." Zhao Kuangyin smiled bitterly.

There are also many Wenchen generals under Zhao Kuangyin, but none of them can give an effective solution to the problem thoroughly.

Even if there are a few plans that seem feasible, they still don't meet Zhao Kuangyin's mind.

Qin Tian smiled and shook his head.

"Well, since that's the case, then I'll analyze and analyze with you."

"First of all, you need to figure out, what exactly is the problem you are trying to solve?"

"What is the problem solved?" Zhao Kuangyin was stunned: "Isn't it to prevent the generals from rebelling?" ”

"No, it's not about preventing generals from rebelling." Qin Tian denied Zhao Kuangyin's statement.

"The real problem you have to solve is how to prevent the local forces from rebelling, not the military generals."

"So, do you understand?"

Although the rebels were all military generals, in the final analysis, the fundamental reason for the rebellion of military generals was that the local forces were too big to deal with the threat of the local forces.

The lord is weak and the minister is strong, and the final result will inevitably be a rebellion of the generals.

"Both...... Is there any difference? ”

Zhao Kuangyin vaguely sensed something, but he still couldn't figure out the crux of the problem.

"This question will not be pressed for the time being, let me ask you, if you are a military general, and you want to succeed in the rebellion, then what do you need most now?"

"Or what are the necessary ingredients for success?"

"What is necessary for success?" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

Speaking of which, he is not sleepy.

He came to power in a mutiny, can he still not know how to succeed in the mutiny?

"First of all, the first one, there must be soldiers in hand, and the strength must be strong enough, otherwise it will not be able to succeed in the rebellion quickly and suppress Xiaoxiao!"

Zhao Kuangyinzhi gave the answer proudly, but he didn't expect Qin Tian to immediately deny this statement with a smile.

"No, the key is not the number of soldiers, nor the quality of the soldiers, these are important factors, but definitely not the most critical factor."

"The most important factor is that you have enough of your subordinates in your hands who are completely loyal to you."

"If you don't have these, you won't be able to rebel even if you have more soldiers, because no one will follow you!"

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized.

It's not that he didn't think of this, it's just that his long-term experience has made him subconsciously ignore it.

He didn't necessarily don't know, but he didn't remember it in time and couldn't say it.

"What else?"

"And ......" Zhao Kuangyin was a little speechless for a while.

It's not that he doesn't know anything, but it's still a little too difficult to summarize the key factors for his success in a very short period of time.

Qin Tian gave a reminder: "If you want to cultivate subordinates who are completely loyal to you, what do you need?" ”

"Money!" Zhao Kuangyin said without hesitation.

"So what is the first thing you have to do if you want to take control of the country after your successful mutiny?"

"Receive the officials of the previous dynasty!" Zhao Kuangyin seemed to be getting better, and vaguely he seemed to have touched what Qin Tian wanted to express.

"So now the problem is very clear, if you want the rebellion to succeed, or even if the local forces become bigger, the above three are indispensable."

"Without officials, if you can't govern the people, you will naturally not be able to collect enough taxes, and without enough taxes, you will not be able to feed enough troops, let alone cultivate an army that is completely loyal to you!"

"The above three, which I call the three key elements of state power, can be summed up as the sword and the sword, the pen and the paper, and most crucially, the gold, silver and treasure."

"Now that you understand the key to success, how to make it fail, I think you also understand."

Qin Tian said lightly.

If you want to balance the army, in fact, it is simple, you only need to control its logistics, which is equivalent to grasping the lifeblood of the army, so that it does not dare to act rashly.

Of course, this is not safe, because a general who has been in charge of the army for too long will inevitably raise his own lineage.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to carry out military transfers at regular intervals.

But this transfer also needs to be measured, just like changing generals on the spot, especially in wartime, generals cannot be easily changed.

How it should be implemented depends on the means of the rulers.

This only prevents the generals from rebelling, and in order to prevent the local forces from becoming too strong, it is necessary to separate the military and the government.

The civilian official is in charge of the affairs of the civil official, and the military attache is in charge of the affairs of the military attaché, and the two complement each other and check and balance each other.

In this way, the separation of economic, political, and military powers can completely eliminate the soil of feudal separatism.

As for any other accidents that happened during the specific implementation process, it didn't matter to Qin Tian.

No matter how good the policy is, as long as it is implemented by people, it will inevitably be deformed.

There are no perfect rules, as long as you have the heart, you can always find loopholes in the rules.

What needs to be done at this time is to check and fill in the gaps.

That's all Qin Tian can give Zhao Kuangyin's guidance.

After all, the ideas for solving the problem are all given to you, and if you still can't do it well, then you can't blame others.

Zhao Kuangyin bowed deeply to Qin Tian.

"Villain...... Teachable! ”

Zhao Kuangyin admired Qin Tian incomparably.

The policies and measures offered by others are superficial, seemingly able to solve problems, but can only solve the problems encountered at the moment.

If you encounter other situations, you have to think of another way.

But Qin Tian was very penetrating and told him where the root of the problem was, clearly and thoroughly.

It seemed that Qin Tian did not give a solution to the problem, but in fact, Qin Tian taught him all the methods.

If you understand these truths, if you need to deal with military generals and local problems in the future, you only need to watch these three aspects to easily give a solution to the problem.

This also means that from now on, the soil of the feudal towns has been completely wiped out!

After mastering these key factors, we can not only solve the problem of rebellion among military generals, but also ensure the combat effectiveness of the army in the system.

If the original solution given by Zhao Pu is followed, it seems to solve the problem, but at the same time, it also brings another problem, that is, the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly reduced.

And now that he knows the joints, Zhao Kuangyin can completely prevent others from following his example and coming to the Chenqiao Mutiny again while ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army!

"Sure enough, an immortal deserves to be an immortal!" Zhao Kuangyin was extremely emotional in his heart.

He is now extremely glad that although he hesitated at the beginning, he still set off for the south without hesitation.

If he hadn't met Qin Tian at the beginning, how could the path he was going to take be as easy as it is now?

……

After leaving Qin Tian, Zhao Kuangyin immediately summoned Zhao Pu and told him about his conversation with Qin Tian in great detail.

After listening to Zhao Kuangyin's narration, Zhao Pu was also dumbfounded.

If he had doubts about Qin Tian's identity before, now he had no doubts at all.

Such a height of thought, such a means of solving problems, what else can this not be an immortal?

Isn't it an immortal who knows five hundred years before and five hundred years after that, can say such a thing?

"No, I heard Your Majesty say that the immortal and Qin Shi Huang are acquaintances, so it's not five hundred years of pre-knowledge, maybe it's five thousand years of pre-knowledge, and five thousand years of after-knowing!"

Thinking so, the horses on his lips did not stop at all.

"Your Majesty is really a person who is loved by God, and there are immortals who come down to help you, it seems that Your Majesty is the destiny of heaven, and he is bound to dominate the world!"

seemed to feel that such a sycophant was not enough, and Zhao Pu even knelt directly on the ground and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

At this moment, Zhao Pu is like a god possessed, and all kinds of beautiful words are crazy to come out as if he doesn't want money!

Such a way of slapping sycophants in advance naturally coaxed Zhao Kuangyin's heart to bloom.

"Okay, okay, let's stop here, now you and I can discuss what to do."

Seeing this, Zhao Pu immediately stopped and began to think about business.

After a day and a night of thinking, the master and servant finally came up with a set of methods that seemed feasible for the time being.

The first is to retract military power.

Zhao Kuangyin originally planned to separate the economy, politics and military according to what Qin Tian said, and as for the former veterans under his command, let them continue to lead the troops.

But Zhao Pu felt that it was inappropriate to do so.

Because for a general, to do so is to show that the Lord does not trust them.

In this way, it will inevitably cause dislike between the master and the servant.

It's better to simply take away the power in their hands once and for all, and let them go back to being rich people.

Anyway, they all offend people, so it's better to simply let the people who may be offended by themselves have no threat to themselves.

Of course, when it comes to doing it, it still depends on how Zhao Kuangyin lobbied.

How to deal with the problem of people's hearts perfectly and ensure that it will not chill the hearts of his subordinates is something that Zhao Kuangyin needs to consider.

Zhao Pu couldn't intervene at all.

In addition to the military aspect, specific reforms need to be widespread throughout the country. (End of chapter)
