Xuande

Chapter 168 They are bound to drift away
I don't know when, the interest orientation between Liu Bei and Lu Zhi is no longer completely consistent.

Liu Bei was keenly aware of this key point.

However, he also thought that perhaps his and Lu Zhi's fundamental interests had always been completely different, but during a special historical period, he and Lu Zhi came together, and at that time, their interests were basically the same.

But now, not anymore.

He has his way, and Lu Zhi also has Lu Zhi's way. In terms of political vision, the two are bound to drift apart.

What Liu Bei is pursuing and what Lu Zhi is pursuing are not on the same level at all. Perhaps in the end, it is impossible to even understand each other.

So he looked at Lu Zhi and shook his head slowly.

"Teacher, right now, this disciple obviously feels that staying in Luoyang is more meaningful than staying away from Luoyang. This disciple should not only consider for himself, but also consider those who followed him to the north. This disciple cannot let them down expectations."

Lu Zhi was stunned.

After a while, Lu Zhi suddenly realized that his disciple was no longer the simple student who had no reputation but no power of his own.

Lu Zhi found that his disciple seemed to be better at managing power than himself.

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei, and said: "Xuande, what you said is right, it won't last long if you solve the problem and don't solve the problem. The problem is still there, so there must be more people who will If you are tortured by this problem and cannot survive, then a civil uprising will break out."

Yes, not to starve to death.

Liu Bei's heart moved.

But even such a humble request cannot be satisfied, and the ruler's desire is always unsatisfied, so people will desperately regard the magic stick as their last hope.

It's not that no one chooses to move closer to him, hoping to get his support. There are many such people, but during that time, he really didn't put his mind on these things.

"Teacher, in this case, how do you think we can solve the problem? Or, where is the problem?"

Compared with this disciple, he was busy with the business of the ancient literature school and neglected the business of family growth.

Liu Bei, he prefers to be a sincere person.

Because this counter-insurgency war itself is to solve the people who raised the problem instead of solving the problem. If the people are gone, the problem will still exist, and the turmoil will definitely happen again.

Lu Zhi sighed, and said: "The cultivator has no land, and the land is taken by the officials and powerful families. The land of the powerful officials is often tens of thousands of acres, but the common people have no land to stand on.

It's just that most of the time, he can't do it.

He thought of the people who flocked to Liu Bei before he left Luoyang and wanted to send troops north with him.

Lu Zhi didn't continue to struggle with these things. He is not a person who likes to complain about himself. When things are over, they are over. He is more willing to look forward.

So Lu Zhi gave the answer.

Years of fighting alone has formed some habits in him. He is more used to solving problems by himself and taking them to heart, instead of facing and discussing issues with people who have various interests and demands for him.

Liu Bei was silent for a while.

Liu Bei smiled: "Compared to the hypocritical attitude of giving three words and three concessions, the disciple is more willing to be a sincere person."

Lu Zhi nodded: "But it's not completely impossible. As long as the imperial court allows Jizhou to be exempted from taxes for one year, the people of Jizhou can get a breather, and they will not be desperate. It's nothing more than a hungry meal." One meal will not starve to death."

Liu Bei seems to be a natural leader, a leader who is born with leadership and cohesion. He seems to be born to be surrounded by everyone.

What a humble request.

"Xuande, I am a teacher and you are a student. If this is the case, it should be a teacher's test of the student. So shouldn't it be me who asks the question and you answer it?"

this is correct.

At this point, Lu Zhi suddenly felt that his disciple had more direct methods and demands than himself.

Those are all directed at Liu Bei.

"Teacher, what's wrong with the land?"

"He who tills has no land."

Liu Bei's heart was very heavy.

There will indeed be other wars that will take place in the Han Dynasty, internal and external, simple rebellion by persecution, and active rebellion full of ambition.

And before he realized it, Liu Bei, his disciple, had initially formed a political power team that revolved around him.

Yes, be a sincere person.

"The big man can finally put down the Yellow Turban rebellion, but Xuande, I don't know why, I always have a premonition."

how to solve this problem.

"Xuande, I think the inheritance for you should be a little earlier. When you can really be a high-ranking official of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, I will take the inheritance as a congratulatory gift to you."

"That's it."

The Yellow Turban Army was not so easy to put down. If he hadn't assassinated the three brothers Zhang Jiao, the fate of the old empire would not have improved at all.

Liu Bei looked at Lu Zhi.

Liu Bei also laughed.

Liu Bei looked at Lu Zhi not surprised.

Lu Zhi didn't look relaxed either.

Compared with these, he felt that it was easier to lead troops to fight, because the needs of soldiers were always highly unified and simple, which were easy to meet.

"Can't the teacher solve this problem?"

"Premonition?"

"Xuande, I thought that the root of this war still lies in the land."

"The teacher is willing to give, and the disciple is willing to take it. It is too hypocritical to refuse."

Lu Zhi poured himself a glass of water, held it in his hand, and smiled.

Lu Zhi smiled and nodded.

After a long sigh, Lu Zhi smiled self-deprecatingly.

He couldn't refuse a young eagle's request to take off, especially when the eagle was no longer a young eagle and already had its own feathers, it was inevitable for him to fly high.

As long as farmers don't starve to death, they won't make trouble.

One or two is okay, but a group is a bit difficult.

It's just that Liu Bei was suddenly curious.

Students ask questions and teachers should answer them.

In terms of politics, Lu Zhi even felt that he didn't have much experience to pass on to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei did better in politics than in military affairs.

Lu Zhi couldn't help laughing: "Don't you even refuse?"

"Thank you, teacher."

"Well, a premonition, a very strange premonition."

Lu Zhi had nothing to say about this.

"It's hard."

"You really don't shy away from it."

"Jizhou Mu is a position with great authority, and I also know what the imperial court thinks about using me as Jizhou Mu."

"The disciple really doesn't know how to answer these questions, so I hope the teacher can answer and clear up the doubts for the disciple."

Liu Bei asked: "There will definitely be a famine in Jizhou this year, but if it is prepared in advance, the scale should not be too large. With the ability of the teacher, it should not be difficult."

Lu Zhi smiled wryly and said, "It's nothing more than worrying that there will be a famine in Jizhou where the farming season is delayed, too many people will die, and there will be more civil uprisings, so let me be the shepherd of Jizhou, give me full power, and let me take responsibility. Once something happens, the court will be able to hold it accountable."

On the contrary, he is the one who is not good at building his own power team.

No land, no production, no food to feed the stomach, and having to gather people to rebel. This kind of thing was predictable, but none of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty was willing to face it. . "

"Then teacher, now that you know what the problem is, what do you think the problem should be solved?"

Liu Bei followed closely and asked questions.

Lu Zhi was silent for a moment before giving his own answer.

"Dutian."
