Chapter 72: The Officials Forced the People to Rebel
In Cao Chao's eyes, Pu Yangxing is really a saint who burns himself and illuminates others like Sun Qi!
At this moment, he is constantly consuming the national strength of Eastern Wu, and while making his own people miserable, he is also preparing to complete a huge project for Cao Wei, so that Cao Wei can have a good start in governing the southern country in the future.
For such a person, Cao Chao was really moved and speechless.
There is a successor to Sun Qi!
If he had learned that there were such great sages in the country, he would have been able to rest his soul in peace.
I hope that Da Wu can make persistent efforts and produce a few more such outstanding talents
"Nonsense!!"
Lu Kang threw the letter in his hand on the ground suddenly, his face flushed.
This gentle young man has never lost his temper until now, but today, he really can't help it.
The combination of Zhang Bu and Pu Yangxing is really eye-opening.
Zhang Bu is actually okay, although he is a little cautious, but his ability is still online, but that Pu Yangxing really makes people's scalp tingle.
After he did this project, he was stunned to be more damaging than Wang Ji.
At this moment, Lu Kang was struggling to confront Wang Ji, and as a result, his grain channel was cut.
Well, it's not Wang Kiche's, it's the mob in his own rear who cut it!
And why did such rebels appear? Those who were forcibly transported to Danyang Hutian killed officials on the way, rebelled directly, and blocked the road.
Lu Kang was really numb in his scalp.
Naigong wants to fight Wang Ji on the front line, and he has to guard against you own people, right?
Which side are you on?
He really couldn't figure it out, if it was peacetime, forget it, now the two sides are in a big war, you are building a lot of construction in the rear, conscripting the people, is this something that normal people can do? ?
Also prove your talents? I think Sun Qi is more talented than you!!
If this continues, it will not be the people who should rebel, and the officials and the army will rebel, so what will they fight? I can't guarantee that one day I will have my own head cut off after falling asleep!
Lu Kang was really furious, he never thought that his own people would backstab himself like this!
A general stood beside him and whispered, "Governor, or else"
Lu Kang narrowed his eyes, "No, he is a close minister of His Majesty, if he kills him, His Majesty will definitely be dissatisfied." ”
The general immediately stopped talking.
After Lu Kang arrived at the front line, the battle situation was no longer so powerless, Wang Ji and Wen Qin were basically blocked, and the war gradually came to an end.
The reason why there has been such a big change is not only because Lu Kang is capable enough to fight, but also because there are many families of Soochow standing behind him.
These big families have helped, so the situation will naturally be different.
Anyway, it's much more useful for them to go it alone than to do it.
But at this moment, Pu Yangxing is more disgusting than Cao Wei.
But it was not good for them to do anything to Puyangxing, and Lu Kang quickly wrote a letter and asked people to bring it to His Majesty the Emperor.
At this moment, Jianye has not been affected by war or conscription.
Sun Xiu was still busy doing his own thing, going hunting during the day and coming back to study at night.
Pu Yangxing would occasionally find him and tell him about the project.
"Your Majesty, the project is going very smoothly!"
Pu Yangxing grinned, and he said excitedly: "Now the people everywhere are working very hard, and they are willing to do this great thing for Your Majesty!" ”
"The officials did not dare to slack off, and in just a few days, the project was completed in many places, you see, this is the most recent completion table, these are all meritorious officials"
Pu Yangxing put the results in front of Sun Xiu, and he was also waiting for the emperor's praise.
Sun Xiu only glanced at it a few times, and then said: "Such a big thing, just let the people do it, I'm afraid it's still difficult to complete, how are the various clans performing?" Is there anything worthy of reward? ”
Pu Yangxing immediately said: "The minister has repeatedly ordered to ask the big clans from all over the country to cooperate, but most of them refused, but they still sent their own family members and gave money, Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will let them work harder!" ”
"To accomplish such a big thing, how can the big clan do it without contribution?"
Sun Xiu nodded, and then instructed: "Don't be too anxious, if you delay Nongsang in order to catch up with the project, then it won't work, then I will arrest you to ask for the guilt, and continue to do this without delaying Nongsang." ”
Pu Yangxing only felt a little headache.
It's easy to drive the people to servitude, but it's hard to get the big clans to help.
To ensure agriculture, it is necessary to reduce the number of forced laborers, and to ensure the construction of projects, it is necessary to increase the forced labor.
And if you want to achieve a balance between the two, then the conscription will have to be distributed among the great clans, whose servants and tenants are in the tens of thousands
However, they are already very opposed to themselves, and if they are forced to continue bleeding, they will not do anything to themselves, right?
Pu Yangxing had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show it, so he still agreed to the emperor and left in a hurry.
When he came out of the palace, the first thing he did was to go to Zhang Bu to discuss the matter.
After hearing his words, Zhang Bu immediately sneered.
"Heh, Your Majesty is using you to weaken the Great Clan!"
"If you don't come forward, let you come forward, you still have to continue to attack the big clan, otherwise Your Majesty will not protect you, and you will lose your roots."
"As long as you can continue to suppress the big clans and force them to bleed, then Your Majesty will definitely be able to protect you."
"Even if it triggers a rebellion or public resentment, Your Majesty will think that it is the handiwork of those big clans, in order to pull you into the water, and will definitely ignore it."
Pu Yangxing licked his lips and said a little nervously: "But these people are not so easy to deal with." ”
"They all have private soldiers, if you push them too quickly, will Your Majesty?"
Zhang Bu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, and me, I will keep an eye on it, and I won't let things deteriorate to this point, you also have to pay a little attention to proportion."
Pu Yangxing was a little scared at the moment.
The emperor's orders must be obeyed, but you can't force the big clan too hard, you still have to take more action against the common people, after all, these people are the best to bully
Sun Xiu soon saw Lu Kang's letter.
In his letters, Lu Kang repeatedly stated that he could not continue such a project, and that he had to protect the whole country to fight against Cao Wei, and talked about the consequences of rebellions in various places.
It's just that Sun Xiu didn't care too much about these contents.
Lu Kang is very good, but in Sun Xiu's eyes, he is not the kind of person who is completely reliable
Shou Chun.
Biqiu Jian was wearing armor, and he was standing on the shore at the moment, watching the mighty craftsmen in the distance start work at the same time, and his face was full of relief.
Zhang Te stood beside him and said hesitantly: "General, there are still too few people, if you can summon more people."
"Then you can't defeat the state of Wu."
Biqiu Jian replied.
"Over the years, why have more and more generals and soldiers come to join us? There are even people who come to us in small boats of their own making? ”
Zhang Te smiled bitterly, "Because Your Majesty is benevolent." ”
"Yes, it is for this reason that the people of Wei are not doing very well, but they are much better than the people of Wu, which is why I firmly believe that Dongwu will not last long."
"If we also start to gather the people and let them all go into the mountains to cut suitable timber and carry it, it may be able to improve great efficiency, but this is not conducive to us to defeat the Wu State, and the purpose of building warships is to defeat the Wu State, how can we lose the big because of a small one?"
Zhang Dian nodded, "What you said makes sense." ”
"That Zhuge Dan is also good luck, his talent is far inferior to yours, but he has also gained the reputation of destroying Shu, and is respected by everyone, he actually dares to write a letter to humiliate you, if you are responsible for the crusade against Shu, maybe it will be more smooth"
Zhang Te didn't like Zhuge Festival very much.
Because he was despised by Zhuge in the past, it was Biqiu Jian who promoted him, and he did not live up to Biqiu Jian's promotion, and used his military exploits to prove Biqiu Jian's vision and his own ability.
Not long ago, Zhuge sent a letter from thousands of miles away, and the letter was full of anxiety after serving as the extermination of Shu, what do you want to make Biqiu Jian think of countermeasures for himself, etc., it seems that he is asking Biqiu Jian for help, but in fact, it is full of irony.
When that letter was written, Zhuge Dan had obviously just set out on an expedition, and now that he had pacified the Shu Kingdom, Zhang Te didn't want to think about what this second letter would be.
Thinking of that person's pride, Zhang Te was very dissatisfied.
Biqiu Jian was very calm, even when he saw the letter, he was not the slightest bit annoyed, but happily read it left and right.
The same is true at the moment.
"The crusade against Shu is to serve Your Majesty, to unify the world, not to make your own reputation."
"Although Taiwei has shortcomings, he is upright and generous when treating generals, so he is naturally more suitable than me to go to Shu."
Biqiu Jian looked into the distance, "Besides, the contribution to destroying the country is not only the Shu Kingdom"
Zhang Te also looked in the direction of Wu Guo.
He was suddenly a little excited, a little longing, but also a little worried.
"General, when will we be able to make the contribution of destroying the country?"
Biqiu Jian laughed.
"When we catch Sun Xiu."
Zhang Te couldn't help but laugh.
"The general is right!"
At this moment, a scout galloped up, jumped off his horse, rushed to Biqiujian's side, and handed the letter to Biqiujian.
Biqiu Jian lowered his head, looked at the document, looked at it for a moment, and his eyes widened, very shocked.
Zhang Te hurriedly stepped forward, "General, what happened?" ”
"Jiaozhi has surrendered."
"Huh??"
Biqiu Jian said softly: "On the orders of Pu Yangxing, Sun Zhen, the guard of Jiaozhi County, forcibly arrested thousands of people and sent them to Jianye. ”
Zhang Te's eyes widened.
Biqiu Jian glanced at Zhang Te meaningfully, "The day you are looking forward to may not be far away." ”
After saying that, Biqiu Jian turned around and left here in a hurry.
