Chapter 486 Buyer's Market and Seller's Market

Is that right?

Isn't it true?
Anyone who is a reader will understand this.

According to Kong Zhen’s understanding, the ruler seizes power through military violence, and then distributes the power to the rest in a certain form to exercise it together. On the one hand, it relieves the ruler’s administrative pressure, and on the other hand, it is also to win over the elites to recognize the ruler’s power.

Violence can make people terrified for a while and give in, but violence cannot be sustained for a long time, and eventually it will decline. If you rely solely on violence, the regime will fail for at most decades.

Moreover, no matter how powerful the emperor is, he cannot control the whole world. There are countless local landlords, big and small, who are the actual grassroots rulers.

It is the right way to decentralize power through the form of inspection or imperial examinations, and give these actual rulers at the local level the recognition of righteousness.

Moreover, the so-called rule requires talents with sufficient knowledge and experience, and where do these talents come from?

Of course from the elite.

Therefore, Kong Zheng was silent for a while, and then said: "It is naturally the case, the martial arts conquer the world, and the Confucian ministers rule the world. The principle has been like this since ancient times, and it has never changed.

Zhou Guangyu nodded and then asked.

"If that's the case, then why would Su Yonglin let those foolish and foolish women form a peasant association and let them take care of themselves? In power, they don't try to be a blessing, but instead teach those foolish and foolish women how to read, and I can hear it. We have a lot of state and county officials here that are being made by the Liberation Army themselves, are they training officials themselves?"

The more he asked, the more unkind his tone became, and the more he asked, the more tense the atmosphere in the inner hall became.

"This……"

Kong Zheng didn't know how to answer Zhou Guangyu's question for a while.

Because as far as he knew, the Restoration Army did consciously place some of its own people to govern the place.

Not to mention that the local farms, which the locals call "New Countryside", were directly managed by the Restoration Army, and many towns and villages also had Restoration Army peasant associations.

Recently, many people have tried to start with some unowned lands and farms, but they have achieved little. Many unowned lands have been built into new villages by the Restoration Army and occupied first. The speed is fast and the efficiency is high. People are smacking their tongues.

In addition, there are still some county officials in the county seat who are also from the Restoration Army. They seem to have no intention of accepting scholars to join them.

After thinking about it, this matter is indeed not simple, Su Yonglin's plans are very big, and he has bad intentions.

but……

Kong Zheng soon realized that the key to the current problem was not here.

He took a deep breath and looked around at the wolves, tigers, leopards and pests.

"You talk about this here and say that. It's not good here. In the end, do you still want to see General Su? Do you want to see General Su? Do you want to talk to him?"

This question stopped everyone.

The people who were still suspecting Su Yonglin's bad intentions just now also died, one or two were dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

After being silent for a while, Zhou Guangyu whispered: "See... Of course I still want to see it, but I don't know if you can convey our thoughts to General Su for us, and I don't know what General Su thinks of me. He will. How to treat me is also unknown, right?"

"Humph!"

Kong Zheng said with a slight anger: "It's a lot of hype, I doubt this and that, and I don't think about the current situation. The hundreds of thousands of elites in the Liberation Army are no match for even the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Can't?
At that time, will you one or two pull up an army and fight against General Su?A life-and-death battle with hundreds of thousands of Restoration Army?Don't you want to be courtiers in front of General Su? "

Nonsense, who wants to compete with someone like Su Yonglin on the battlefield!

Isn't that looking for death?

If you can join him, why fight?
Power is the source of wealth and status. Only by mastering power can we ensure family security and wealth security. This is the truth.

Su Yonglin is the king, hegemony and emperor. Of course, he is extremely honored, but he will always arrange officials to help him.

If they don't grab these positions, they are occupied by others, then they are fish on the chopping board, waiting to be chopped and sent to others.

Kong Zheng thought of this, so he was very angry.

"Doubt this, doubt that, and don't think about whether you have the qualifications to doubt it! You must know that the gentry in Hebei suffered heavy casualties, but most of us in Shandong were preserved. If we can seize the opportunity in time, how good will it be for us? "

Kong Zheng's words can be said to be true, so the smart people in the room are ashamed.

Shi Yongyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then scolded himself in his heart.

Jiang Xingsi also lowered his head and thought about it, and scolded himself in his heart.

The change of ownership of the Central Plains is a foregone conclusion, and the Northern Expedition of the Liberation Army to overthrow Ginting is also a high probability event. In the future, it is not impossible to command the entire Central Plains, Guanzhong, and Liaodong.

Who are their rivals?
At this point, they have no other options than to cooperate with Su Yonglin.

Although there are still Jin Guo forces in the Guanzhong area, the cooperation with the Jin Guo forces in the Guanzhong area is purely courting death. Unless their brains are broken, no one will think about helping the Jin Guo counterattack the Central Plains.

Not to mention Xixia, who has no sense of existence and influence, and is a backcountry bun.

The last option is the Southern Song Dynasty.

Southern Song Dynasty...

Thinking about the news that was spreading all over the Central Plains before, the whole person was a coward and was not responsible. He cooperated with them, and sooner or later he was sold by them in exchange for benefits.

No choice, only Su Yonglin.

Only Su Yonglin has enough strength to safeguard their interests, and only Su Yonglin's army can protect them and let them continue to be good people, so as not to be obliterated by troubled times.

Not to mention the great opportunity hidden beneath the crisis.

In the past, there were many gentry in Hebei who were unwilling to go south. They didn't trust Su Yonglin very much and just wanted to protect themselves. As a result, they were massacred by the Jin army who went south, with heavy casualties, while most of the gentry in Shandong were saved.

That is to say, if the first person can seize the opportunity and stand firm by Su Yonglin's side, it will be a foregone conclusion that a large number of Shandong gentry will enter the decision-making level of the Restoration Army.

Near the water tower, first come, first served, how can such a good opportunity be missed?
Even if the Restoration Army can cultivate talents on its own, how much can it cultivate?How is the quality?How are the numbers?

Can it be compared with traditional Confucian scholars?
Therefore, after thinking about it, they could only submit a famous post, asking Mrs. Kong to see Su Yonglin and convey their wishes to Su Yonglin.

Su Yonglin can negotiate anything they want, as long as they don't close the door to negotiation, forcing them to go nowhere.

The so-called learned civil and military skills belong to the emperor's family. Compared with the emperor, they are the seller, and the emperor is the buyer. Now they have unified their minds and realize that what seems to be a seller's market is actually a buyer's market, and the initiative lies in Su Yonglin's hands. superior.

All they can do is to try their best to meet Su Yonglin's demands, in exchange for political status and interests, and to maintain the existence of the family.

As long as they are allowed to hold power and control the ascending channel of talents, they don't care who is the emperor.

No matter how wise and powerful Su Yonglin is, how can he still ensure that all his descendants are wise and powerful?
So, burdened with everyone's expectations, Kong Zheng decided to request to see Su Yonglin again and have an interview with Su Yonglin.

They decided to lower their attitudes and bowed their heads to Su Yonglin. As long as he was willing to accept them into the Restoration Army system and business as usual, then everything could be discussed.

Unless Su Yonglin is stubborn and refuses to accept them, and even treats them as enemies, then they must find a way out for themselves, and they cannot sit back and wait for death, and must find ways to clean up Su Yonglin.

Although the Southern Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent, it was still the Han Dynasty in the end, and it was not a bad idea as a way back...

Therefore, in addition to Kong Zheng seeking cooperation with Su Yonglin, there are also many smart people who have begun to find a way back that can be used for themselves.
