I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 172
After the meeting with Liu Jian, Tian Feng resigned and left.

He needs to go back and communicate with the rich and well-dressed families in the four counties to determine whether the one billion yuan should be donated to Liu Jian by the families.

After Tian Feng left, only Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were left to accompany Liu Jian in the main hall.

Zhao Yun bowed his hands to Liu Jian and asked, "Emissary, we really don't understand that one billion worth of goods is a huge amount. Will the governor of Gaomen County in Jizhou really collect all this money and give it to the envoy to raise soldiers?"

"Ha ha."

Liu Jian laughed when he heard this: "Of course not. If Zilong is in his place, will Zilong give me a billion dollars in wealth? Especially since the Yellow Turban, Wang Haoyou, Jizhou County, suffered a lot of losses. .”

Zhao Yun was puzzled and said: "Even if you know that the Zhu family will not give it, why do you make such a request? If the Zhu family does not give it, the bandits in Jizhou will not ask for it?"

Liu Jian shook his head and said: "The thieves must be punished. In the Taihang Mountains, there are some thieves who use the name of Tianbu Junping to gather people to do evil, kill the people without authorization, and destroy the stability. Such thieves cannot be lightly forgiven."

"But among the thieves, there are also quite a few refugees. They didn't want to be thieves at first, but they were killed by the rich and powerful. They lost their land and couldn't make a living. They had to return when they came to a dead end. The influence of these people is also very large.”

"In my opinion, although some people are rebellious, they are not to blame. It is understandable. Moreover, the common people of our Han Dynasty had very low requirements. What is the so-called sky compensation and fairness, for many common people It's just a gimmick to survive in a dead end, it doesn't matter whether it's really average or not. The important thing is to survive."

"A lot of Li Shu really just want to live. As long as the well-dressed family and the local elite don't force them to death, as long as they can support themselves and have a way to eat, it will be difficult to be forced to turn back."

"But when the way to live is blocked, who will replace it, and who will not oppose it?
Both Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were born in Zhending Township, and the people they had the most contact with were the farmers in the township.

They also understand the suffering and fear of ordinary Lishu the most.

It is true that the low-level people do not have high requirements, as long as they can survive, they will generally not rebel.

Zhao Yun sighed lightly: "Master, can the current situation be changed?"

Liu Jian replied: "Nothing can be accomplished overnight. There is no such thing as instant change in this world. Many things and rules need to be changed with the change of the environment, and even have to be broken and rebuilt. There is chaos and great order. Confirm the system."

"It's like the dead leaves in autumn. After they all fall to the ground and survive a season of cold winter, they can grow new green shoots in spring."

Liu Jian's words touched Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan's hearts.

Although there are no specific measures and plans, in their ears, Liu Jian is determined to turn the chaos into peace.

"Just wanting to change these things is not something that can be done overnight. Some things need to be done step by step, and appropriate adjustments should be made according to changes in the situation."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, the reason why I asked the rich and well-dressed families in the four counties for a billion dollars today is just an excuse. My real purpose is to use this matter to solve the food problem of some refugees."

"Actually, in order to prevent the rebels from growing in the Taihang Mountains, in addition to crusade, we must also control the source, and this source is to reduce the number of refugees."

"The envoy wants to resettle the refugees?" Xia Houlan asked.

"Yes, in addition to using military force, try to cut off and reduce the Black Mountain Army's military resources, and turn the military resources into its own use. This is the right way. Blind killing is just drinking poison to quench thirst."

"Just imagine, even if we wiped out all the Black Mountain Army in World War I, as long as the number of gangsters who can't eat in Ji, Bing, You, and Yanzhou continue to increase, there will be an endless stream of people pouring into Montenegro."

"One hundred thousand will be destroyed this year, and next year there may be 20 or even 30! The next year there will be one million!"

"We keep fighting, and the bandits in the Taihang Mountains are constantly absorbing people and forming new troops. This is an endless cycle!"

"Fighting is a must, but it's not the most important thing."

"It needs to be grasped from two places, one side is hitting and the other is caressing, and the combination of soothing and suppressing can make things happen."

Zhao Yun nodded if he realized something.

In fact, there is no need for Liu Jian to tell Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan these things.

But the key reason why he patiently explained to them was that he hoped that Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan would not only become the leaders of the guards, but also not just be fierce generals on the battlefield.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan are very young, only 15 years old.

They have great potential to grow.

Liu Jian hopes that they can become all-round talents in civil and military affairs.

Wu Neng stabilizes the country, and Wen Neng governs the people.

You don't have to be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, but you must know how to govern the people.

Only in this way can they become the figures of the independent town after their own side gradually grows in the future.

From the very beginning, Liu Jian didn't feel that organizing his own army in Jizhou depended entirely on the local well-dressed giants.

From his point of view, there will always be differences in the interests of the aristocratic clan.

It is necessary to use it and suppress it for the giants and famous families.

Before you have absolute strength and the right to speak, you can't force the big players in the basic set too hastily, but you can't indulge them either.

Now this world is not considered the most chaotic season. In the current situation, you can boil the frogs in warm water and take a series of measures according to the changes in the situation.

"Zilong, Lan, I'm about to start recruiting the army. The other Sima of our Jizhou army is the two of you. After forming the army, we must train this army well. In the process of being a thief, you will continue to grow stronger, and the two of you will also become stronger together."

"It is necessary to train soldiers, but also to train yourselves, understand?
Zhao Yun immediately said: "Your envoy trusts us so much, Yun will do his best to repay your envoy!"

Liu Jian nodded.

Indeed, now he needs Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan to grow up quickly.

Although he served as the shepherd envoy of Southern Jizhou, Liu Jian did not summon Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

Guan Yu is currently sitting in the vassal state of Liaodong, commanding the strong soldiers of the border states.

When he was in the Youzhou Governor's Department.The troops of the Youzhou Governor's Department also belonged to Guan Yu's command.

Guan Yu is currently in Youzhou, and has the ability to respond to everyone in the military.

The soldiers and horses of the Youzhou Governor's Department, as well as the border camps, and the soldiers of the subordinate countries can be described as extremely powerful military forces.

Guan Yu cannot be allowed to leave Youzhou for the time being.

Once Guan Yu leaves, if Youzhou's army undergoes several rounds of changes within two or three years, Guan Yu's previous prestige will be worn down over time.

As for Zhang Fei, he is the captain of Liyang Camp.

He was under the direct command of Luoyang General's Mansion and managed the Liyang Camp.

The sergeants in the Liyang camp were all from good families in the six counties, not only had the source of elite soldiers, but also had relatively elite equipment from the Han Dynasty.

Although the number of sergeants in the Liyang Camp is not many, only a thousand, but the strength of these thousand soldiers is equivalent to [-].

Zhang Fei left the Liyang camp, and the Liyang camp changed its commander. How did Liu Jian swallow them after that?

Now that the situation is not chaotic, Liu Jian cannot privately swallow elite soldiers from other counties.

For the time being, he can't annex the strong troops of the Liyang camp, the Liaodong vassal state, and the governor's department of Youzhou, and he doesn't dare to annex them.

If he dared to make a move against these soldiers and horses now, Luo Yang would directly send the central army to him to destroy them on the spot.

We can only wait first.

When Luoyang is in chaos, the center is in chaos, and the local counties break away from the center to form their own system, that is a good time for him to annex the ready-made elite army in the north.

He can't let others take away these formed troops that are clearly readily available.

Guan Yu has to stay in Youzhou, Zhang Fei and Han Dang need to continue to run the Liyang Camp.

But Huang Zhong and Xu Rong are still in Liangzhou with Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo to break the bandits.

Liu Bei served as the captain of Xiyuan in the capital, and Gao Shun was his deputy.

Therefore, the new army currently established by Liu Jian in Jizhou will be trained by himself.

The people he can use are Zhao Yun, Cheng Pu, and Xia Houlan.

Cheng Pu followed him to wear the Yellow Turban, and he was a county official in Beiping in the past, and he had war experience in Border County.

The key is to train Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan.

Let these two young boys become the pillars of the Jizhou Army.
