Although it was impossible to capture the enemy's castle, the brute fighters still dealt a blow to the enemy's arrogance by damaging two towers. After collecting the troops and returning to the camp, the prince personally entertained the barbarians and Grimm and others in a luxurious tent, and said: "Your battle has greatly boosted our morale, and I have ordered someone to make you a separate banner." From now on, you will be our 'Blitzkrieg Brigade,' and you should not be called 'barbarians,' but 'Blitzkriegs!!!Your heroic posture is like a storm and lightning, making the enemy tremble! Knock them out of the sky!!"

The leader's words were very nice, and the barbarians with the new title were all happy and red-faced: "Blitzkrieg? Good name! Good name! What kind of barbarian fighter is it, we are the 'blitzkrieg' of the Demon and Martial Arts Double Cultivation!!We are also characters with heads and faces!!" So they all drank happily, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

The next morning, Master Ge, who was sleeping with the young woman in his arms, was woken up by the prince's attendants, and came to the king's tent surrounded by guards, and talked with the prince about business: "Although the barbarians~~~ Although the blitzkriegs are strong, they are not enough in number, and it is difficult to capture the enemy fortress on the opposite side for a while. The Apolis Foundry Association said it would arrange some flying formations, but the asking price was too high. We're going to have to think of something else. Now, some families in Virgin City have released rumors through secret channels and are ready to talk to us. But ~~~, you also know~~~~ I can't promise them so quickly~~~~ These people are honey-bellied swords, two-sided and three-edged, and they are often in a plan, maybe they spread the news of my peace talks with them, and take the opportunity to cause some trouble. Anyway, they're all tough guys. So~~~ Can you Xinghan help me find out the news? I want accurate information!"

Although Master Ge, who knew the reason, was reluctant, he still took the errand, turned around and led people back to the Mae Kaili Church Building in Virgin City, and contacted Dong Haozi: "When you see these rich people, you must always bring some expensive gifts." I don't have any money here, so lend me some money. This is for Xinghan to run business. It should be reimbursed by the Star Han Club. ”

"I'm short of money!" Dong Hezi in the picture pointed to several rock pillars behind him that were thicker than the watchtower, some of which seemed to be wrapped in a layer of shiny brass, and they were indeed made at a great price! At this time, all the huge pillars were surrounded by strange whirlwinds with colors, and they rumbled: "I have just researched a sample of the 'atmosphere' generator, and I need a lot of money to continue to make it." How can I have a balance for you? ”

I saw that on the huge pillars of those four or five stories high, some of the cyclones were mixed with a large amount of ice slag and cold wind. Some of them were humid fog cyclones, while others seemed to be connected to the fire elemental plane, forming a huge 'fire whirlwind' that enveloped the shining brass pillars inside, a majestic and magnificent scene!

"Why are you doing this?" Grimm was curious: "Isn't there an Elemental Convergence Array, which can extract energy from the four elemental planes?" But Dong Hezi said: "The extraction capacity of the Elemental Convergence Array is also limited by the rules of the universe, so it can't be too big. Otherwise, the stability of the circle will be very poor. Now to produce more air and electricity magic, you can't rely on it. We've redesigned the Air Elemental Capture Circle.

"You also know that the changing atmosphere is sometimes a generator, sometimes an insulator, sometimes a conductor, and it can form a huge capacitance because of the different temperature and humidity and different flows. Take advantage of these features. We have created a complex 'atmospheric power generation and energy storage system' - we can tear apart the larger fire elemental plane channels, and use the heat of the flames and these different gas columns to create powerful currents, and we can obtain more gas and electricity spells to meet the needs of those brute fighters. This system can obtain several times the energy of the elemental aggregation array, and it is more stable. But the upfront investment is very large. So, I'm short on money right now!!"

Master Ge spread his hands: "If you don't give anything, the negotiation will be yellow." Why don't you borrow some treasures from the Mae Kaili Church?" but saw Dong Hezi muttering: "No. I have another interesting book. It can be given as a gift to the rich. They will surely be very happy. ”

When Grimm saw it, it was actually a book about Confucius! It was usually used as a temporary teaching material. Give Grimm them a storyteller and an eye-opener. But: "This~~~ This is a bunch of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, are you going to let those rich families with two swords and three swords go to loyalty, filial piety and benevolence?

Dong Hezi waved his hand and said: "Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness? Have you forgotten what I said before? Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are just a fig leaf that Confucius hangs outside." Like many of his contemporaries, they should emphasize loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. But there is one key point that Kong Ru is fundamentally different from them. Do you remember?"

Master Ge tried hard to recall: "Shift filial piety to loyalty~~~~ and ~~~ and ~~~ advocate family separation." ”

"That's right! First engage in family separation, and then engage in filial piety and loyalty. This is the true core of Kongqiu. Dong Hezi directly pierced the painting skin: "Under the surface of 'loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness', it is the social means of production that have been completely privatized and familialized. In the end, what will be achieved is the privatization of the families of the economy, the privatization of the families of social organization, and finally the privatization of the families of the regime. ”

Master Ge finally got up at the meeting: "I remember! Although there is a nominal name of 'Shangren and Xiazhong'. But the greatest benefit of the king's benevolence is often the people around him, and the families or clan alliances formed by these people become the de facto ruling group. Even if the king was merciful to the people at the bottom and collected less taxes. However, these middle- and upper-class wealthy families can use various means to encroach on the property or interests of the people at the bottom, and eventually form an alliance of big landlords, big businessmen, and big families. Once the king was going to clean up these people harshly. They can immediately use 'unkindness' against the king. ”

"At the same time, they can use 'loyalty' to clean up the people at the bottom. Nominally, 'shifting filial piety to loyalty' is to serve the king, but in fact, once the country adopts the system of 'family separation', the king cannot control so many places at all. The specific managers in various places are these big landlords, big businessmen, and big family alliances. In fact, the objects of loyalty of the people at the bottom are these families, thus forming a political pattern of 'having a family, no nation, and no country'. Hey, the rich guys in Virgin City are going to love it! They don't lack money, they lack power. ”

"And Confucius's theory is the theoretical tool and public opinion tool for them to achieve their rule!" Dong Hezi said: "I will also tell Prince Alex about this matter, and what Confucius said is that the two of them have reached a compromise." A 'cultural agreement' to divide up the country together. The two sides respect Kong, that is, an agreement has been reached. God doesn't know, ghosts don't know. No need to spend pen and paper. ”

Master Ge took this 'gift' to visit one of the large families, who had a large share of the sugar industry despite their small farmland, and at the same time imported foreign spices and bought and sold some arcane ingredients. It is also engaged in the exchange of gold and silver currencies and precious stones. Shop pù widely spread throughout the country. And their mansion is not in the city of Fergu, but in a steep hill near the river in the suburbs, from the side of the river to the halfway up the mountain, which is quite grand!

From a distance, they are a group of wide buildings and tall towers composed of different styles, the colors of the buildings are different, the blue, gold, purple and green are beautiful like fairy tale castles; There are also some stout towers that emit obvious arcane aura. It's really tougher than the local governor's palace. It is worthy of a strong family that has been in business for several generations!

At the gate, the spear cavalry of the two black iron statues stood still. But it was a steel golem in disguise. In front of the two-story gate of the pure steel cast, the old mage of the family conducted a strict spell search and a water arcane soldier stepped forward to collect the weapon. Master Ge and the four Blitz Barbarians were mercilessly deprived of a Qiē offensive weapon, including a dagger and a magic wand. Even the Rokko Divine Guard Master who accompanied him was no exception!The old gatekeeper simply said, "If you want to go in and pay homage to your master, you must leave your weapon here." Otherwise, even if the high priest of your sect comes, it won't work!"

This is actually bragging. If the high priest came, the two sides would not have come to the door so hastily, and they would not have dared to unload the high priest's belongings. But now this statement also shows that it has a lot of confidence. As soon as Master Ge led the unhappy masters and blitzkrieg barbarians in, he immediately saw an open square and bright five-story buildings surrounding the square, and the momentum was open. The male and female servants along the way were dressed like flowers, and some female dependents with beautiful flower umbrellas could be seen in the garden on the mountainside in the distance. It's a sight to behold outdoors.

This time, it was just a steward who came out, and after a few polite greetings, Master Ge hinted at his background and gave him a gift of books. After the other party asked them to take it down, they were invited to lunch and then the meeting was dismissed. The parting only said that the master was very busy in the past two days, and asked Master Ge to wait for a few days to have his own news.

As soon as it comes out. A few of the blitzkrieg brutes took their weapons and began to grunt: "Straight bitches! What a fucking rich! I think they are richer than the first few counts! If they don't know how to lift, they will rob this place next time!" Someone else said: "It's not fun just to rob, you should take this place!!" Get all those girls to enjoy! Hahahaha! How do you say that these big businessmen are so rich? It's so much better than that bird prince!"

Grimm smiled: "Although the Wang family is a royal family, the situation has always been turbulent, wars have been frequent, and territorial disputes and power struggles are mostly expensive things. Therefore, the expenses of the Wang family are also huge. On the contrary, these rich people have been hiding under the wings of the Wang family and have accumulated for many years, but the expenses are not so large. The small life is more comfortable than the Wang family. Alas~~~ If they succeed in playing two-faced tricks and escape this catastrophe again, they will continue to enjoy their small lives. ”

"Dog.day~~~" The blitzkrieg barbarians were extremely unconvinced: "Let's go and tell the prince, just take this Virgin City, and divide these castles and women! Why do you want these unreliable bastards to continue to enjoy their happiness??" Master Ge taught them very stylishly: "The power of the people is all over the country, there is intelligence to spy on the news, there are connections to encourage people at all levels, and there are financial resources to support the battle, which is very important to the prince who is eager to restore the country." In the future, if the prince can be successfully restored, local governance will also need manpower. If you don't have them, will you be able to run the place? You don't have to make a bunch of axes, thank God. Ha ha. ”

The blitzkriegs were still unconvinced: "The latest version of "Lei Gang Law Body" has a method for governing military affairs and local affairs. It really doesn't work, let's just follow it!" Grimm then remembered that Donghezi had added some strange content to the latest version, all of which were principles extracted from "Guanzi" and "Mozi", such as how to control grain and major minerals, how to formulate taxes, the principles and basic methods of fiscal and tax distribution, the construction of water conservancy roads and markets, disaster relief and resettlement, how the central government communicates with the grassroots, the public opinion and finance that the state needs to control, etc., as well as how different countries and different forms of governance methods. It even broke up the secret association method in Hongmen and wrote it in. In fact, they are all simple templates, even if the back is ripe, there are still many difficulties in doing it. What's more, the character of these blitzkrieg barbarians is not enough to learn.

The only benefit is probably that social governance and political operation methods have flowed into the people, so that these people are no longer scattered. If you rebel. Holding this book, you will know how to organize it, how to establish a political power after attacking the city and plundering the land, and you will not become a Huangchao Li Chuang or something.

On the third day, Master Ge got the news that the master of the house was willing to see him. So he took the masters and the brutes with him. This time it's inside the Colorful Manor. The complex buildings are connected by corridors carved with Jingmen, and there are verdant vines and flowers climbing above and below. The corridors are beautifully dotted. There is a feeling of quiet beauty and elegant pavilion.

And what came out was a floating throne surrounded by everyone. This throne, a foot above the ground, was sheltered by layers of magical power, and inside sat a thin old man. They seemed to be passing by here, ready to go to the open garden next to them to relax, and when they saw Master Ge who was 'passing by', the old man in the Chinese robe sitting on the throne suddenly spoke: "Kongqiu's book ~~~ is not very good, at first glance, it is a frustrated third-rate feudal politician." I've read a lot of books like him, like McCain and Perrin of Kanremaya. How can it be of great use to write such a book, although the content is different, but they are all outdated conservative politicians? Moreover, he advocates the transfer of filial piety and loyalty, but when everyone is loyal to the king, the power of the king is too great. How can we 'civilians' live? ”

Master Ge immediately understood: "It is said that filial piety is to be loyal, but can the monarch really manage so many things and so many industries? It's your turn. Besides, it is nominally necessary to have two rights: loyalty and filial piety. But filial piety is greater than loyalty. Even if you commit a heinous capital crime, your children and grandchildren can 'steal and flee and forget the world'. The law of the country is a fart in front of the interests of the clan. Even if it is a betrayal of the country and the nation, it is because of the great 'filial piety'. ”

The wrinkled old man finally smiled: "You are also honest, not like that book." Concealing and deliberately making it impossible for people to see the truth. I still feel uneasy - after all, there is a 'shift in filial piety and loyalty' in the Ming rule, and if the national law is too strong to 'steal and escape', then what should we 'civilians' do? And he wants us to be the public in the world. It's really ~~~"

Master Ge answered: "This Spring and Autumn penmanship is a necessary skill for politicians. Besides, the premise of 'shifting filial piety to loyalty' is 'self-denial and revenge'. The etiquette is by no means the ethics of good and evil, daily etiquette, but the social norm under the aristocratic land division system. The aristocratic land sub-feudal system was divided from top to bottom. Land, the most important national resource, is privately owned by large and small aristocratic families. The society on the land is also privately owned by large and small aristocratic families, and the power of government is even more private. ”

"Self-denial and revenge are not to engage in any centralization, and a group of wealthy families should be allowed to divide up the country according to the Zhou rites. It is necessary to restore the privatization of the economic tycoons, the privatization of the social management tycoons, and the privatization of the political tycoons. This is the core of Confucius's theory! It is called the world for the public, but the actual system design is the 'three selfishness'! If the monarch does not engage in the 'three selfishness,' he does not have 'self-denial and retribution,' and he is disobedient to heaven and fate.

The old man finally nodded: "Sure enough, it's wonderful! But if the land division system is restored, the nobles in various places return to power, and each land is drawn as a prison and taxes are collected at various levels, it will be very unfavorable to us small merchants and small households." Master Ge received Dong Hezi's guidance, and he had already made up his mind: "If 'land division' is not written in the book, who can extend it there? Besides, the landed aristocracy of your country has been greatly weakened in the civil strife more than ten years ago, and now a family like yours has land in several dukedoms. Most of the dukes also sold a lot of land, and now everyone is mixed with each other, and it is not clear what to distinguish. Do you really have to carry it hard, do those soil buns who rely on the land alone have enough financial resources and foreign aid to fight against you? Time changes, and at that time it is necessary to prevent them from becoming bigger, and in the future to prevent the return of royal power. ”

The old man smiled again: "Are you worthy of Prince Alex by doing this?" Master Ge replied solemnly: "The prince is willing to divide the world with you, and I hope you can also 'make the world public'." This Confucian theory is everyone's contract. ”

The old man smiled: "If he is really willing to deny himself, we are also willing to try the world for the public." ”

+++++++++++++++

Master Ge proudly took the bodyguards out of the inner circle building, and was guided by the attendants to dine in the glazed Guangyao side hall, when he suddenly heard a familiar silver bell girl next to him: "Two tigers fight, there must be an injury." I wonder if Master Grimm is ready?"

The voice is beautiful and beautiful, and the pretty and tall figure makes everyone's eyes shine, and they can't take their eyes off it! What a fresh and beautiful person, three points more moving than the stunning beauty in the art painting. Our Ge master reacted even more, and took a few steps back, as if he saw a man-eating tiger: "You~~~You~~~Don't mess around! This is ~~~ It's someone's territory."
