I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 175 Ju grant Tian Feng, long-term vision

Wei County, Guangping County.

In Jizhou, there are many families of gentry and officials, with numerous branches, and each has its own basic plate. Among them, the land of Weijun is from the south of Zhangshui, the land of Guangping, Feixiang, and Guantao to the east of Yecheng, and the land of Ju The family comes first.

The current father-in-law of the Ju family is Ju Shou.

Like Tian Feng, Jushou was born in Jizhou as a talented person. He has a long history of family studies. His family has studied "Dai Shengli" for generations. He can become a talented person in a state. His own ability and the political power of the family behind him are naturally not to be underestimated. .

Today's Jushou is entertaining a heavyweight at home - Tian Feng.

As a brilliant talent in a state, Tian Feng and Jushou met. They didn't buy wine and indulge themselves like others. Instead, they laid out a chessboard in the small pavilion in the courtyard of Jushou's house, heated a pot of herbal soup, played chess and played chess, and chatted about all kinds of things in the world. thing.

"A billion dollars?" Ju Shou dropped a sunspot, and looked at Tian Feng with a little surprise: "Did the new envoy of Jizhou tell Brother Yuan Hao himself?"

Tian Feng was holding a white piece in his hand, turning it over and over between his fingers, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, and said: "Hehe, if I hadn't heard it with my own ears, how could I talk about it? As far as I know, Tian Feng never spreads lies when he does things, and what he can say from my mouth is sure to be correct."

After finishing speaking, he rolled up the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand, stretched out his hand, and dropped the white piece on the chessboard.

"Gonghe thinks, what is the meaning of Shijun's move?"

"It's less." Jushou smiled lightly: "If I was in his position, I would open my mouth and ask for 50 billion yuan, hahaha."

Tian Feng seemed a little surprised: "Why?"

"The left and right are not available, so why not ask for more?"

Tian Feng frowned: "Gong and Mo want to make such a joke!"

Ju Shou dropped a sunspot on the chess board again, and said: "Yuan Hao misunderstood me. I didn't mean to be joking, but I said it from the bottom of my heart. To Liu Shijun, a billion dollars is just a superficial test. Strategies, this king's ambition is not here, I think there must be a future move."

Tian Feng sighed: "Your Excellency sees this, he is similar to me. Although this Liu Shijun is young, he is not an ordinary person."

"In Changshan in the past, Liu Shijun's method of cutting off the three powerful families of Zhending was very powerful. He set the situation in one fell swoop, leaving the three families of Zhending without the slightest power to turn around. This move alone is beyond the reach of ordinary young people... Now, he I am here to serve as herdsmen in Jizhou, and I am afraid that the people in these four counties will not live in peace."

Ju Shou laughed and said: "Everything must be viewed from two perspectives. This Liu Shijun has great ambitions. He came to Jizhou this time. In order to expand the truth, it is common sense that he will attack the well-dressed families in various counties. But the other way around Thinking, if Liu Shijun can become the throne in Jizhou, wouldn't the clans who worked with him in Jizhou also benefit the world because of it?"

Tian Feng raised his eyebrows and said: "He is already a shepherd envoy, how can he become a minister?"

"Brother Yuan Hao is a man with great foresight and a wealth of strategy. Why do you need to ask me about some things? Don't you think about all the major events in the world?"

Tian Feng was expressionless, and gave Ju Shou a wink: "It's your turn!"

"Oh! Ashamed, ashamed."

Then Jushou picked up a sunspot again, looked at it carefully for a moment, and landed on the chessboard.

"According to legend, in the capital, the emperor was seriously ill and time was running out. His relative He Jin was in charge of the army, and the eunuchs were superior to the Eighth School of Xiyuan, Liangzhou. Today, the son is under my knees, the two sons are young, and the empress is born in a butcher, so she is narrow-minded and has little knowledge, so the situation like this is likely to be chaotic sooner or later, it depends on the extent of the chaos."

Tian Feng stroked his beard: "If that's the case, we, the son of the emperor who is the guardian of Jizhou, is really the most important thing in this situation."

Ju Shou said: "Since the yellow turban moth bandits were exterminated, bandits and bandits in Jizhou counties have been rampant, wild people have become more and more prosperous, and the nobles have suffered heavy losses. According to my thinking, if this continues, the noble gate of Jizhou may last ten years. It is necessary to let the thieves wipe out half of it. At this time, all families should find a flexible method, if they still stick to their way, I am afraid that the result will be unpredictable."

Tian Feng said: "In this way, you seem to value this Mr. Liu? Maybe he has changed the current situation?"

Ju Shou said: "It depends on what kind of chess move Liu Shijun will play next. If he really wants to play a big game! So what if someone from Ju will help him with all the strength of his family? But if he is good at chess I'm not good, but I can't accompany you... After all, I, Guangping Ju Clan, is also a century-old noble family, and this foundation cannot be destroyed by my hands."

While the two were talking, they saw a servant from Jushou's mansion rushing out of the pavilion.

"Papa, the people from Ye City have sent a message back."

After all, the servant delivered a brief reading to Ju Shou.

Ju Shou took it casually and unfolded it to see.

He was just watching casually at first, but after watching for a while, he saw that Jushou's expression became a little dignified.

After looking at it for a while, I saw Jushou put down the bamboo slips slowly, stared at the chessboard in front of him, and murmured: "Good chess."

When Tian Feng heard the words, he also looked at the chessboard, wondering: "What's so good about this move? Why didn't I see it?"

Ju Shou shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's not that the game of chess between you and me is good, but that Liu Shijun's game of chess is quite subtle."

"Oh?"

Tian Feng looked curiously at the scroll of bamboo slips in Jushou's hand, and asked, "May I borrow a certain view?"

Jushou was naturally not stingy, so he handed the bamboo slips to Tian Feng.

Tian Feng looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "This Hebei Chamber of Commerce is quite novel, it's the first time I've heard of it."

Ju Shou sighed and said: "This envoy Liu seems not in a hurry to form an army for the time being, nor is he in a hurry to ask various families for money, but simply established this so-called chamber of commerce, which is based on many poor families in Hebei. It’s really a long-term plan.”

Tian Feng sighed softly: "Once this so-called chamber of commerce comes out, it is not clear what it will develop into in the future and how important it will be in various industries in Hebei, let alone whether it will have much impact on various ethnic groups."

Ju Shou laughed and said, "However, what is certain is that within five years, our Shijun Liu's pastoral office should not be short of goods and materials."

"With this move, it can be seen that this Liu Shijun is a master of chess. I should pay homage to such an outstanding person."

Tian Feng looked at Jushou with a little surprise, and said: "Gongyu, you are going to see Mr. Liu at this time, do you mean to bow your head to show your favor to Mr. Liu?"

"How can you not bow your head?"

Jushou pointed to the bamboo slips, and said, "Brother Yuan Hao should be able to see that there are now many poor families in Hebei who are merchants and merchants, and they are beginning to move closer to this Liu Shijun. In the past, the Liu family of Zhuojun was the main A group of wealthy merchants from poor families in Hebei have already monopolized the horse market in Hebei. Now they have established a chamber of commerce to absorb poor families from various states and control the industry of salt, iron, grain and wood. How can the well-dressed clan in Hebei still have room for change in business in the future? "

"The shepherd of this state is no more powerful than the prefect of a county. He has a lot of power. All affairs in the court belong to one person. Liu Shijun should have figured out a long time ago how to make full use of this status as a feudal town to determine all affairs in the state."

Tian Feng said: "At this time, if the clans hold on to their identities and don't take the initiative to move forward, I'm afraid that after the foundation of this chamber of commerce is established, if the well-dressed families want to enter it again, they will have no chance."

"Well, this is a hero's trick!" Ju Shou's eyes were a little bright: "A real hero!"

After all, he looked at Tian Feng, but saw that Tian Feng was not surprised, but was smiling instead.

Ju Shou suddenly said: "It seems that Brother Yuan Hao has long wanted to surrender to the envoy, but he has not found it convenient? Or is he just like Ju, wanting to observe?"

Tian Feng said with a smile: "There are all of them. It's just that Weijun and Julu's famous families are mostly unwilling to give in at this time. Only you and I went to visit. Will you blame others later?"

"A man should be upright and upright in the world, with his ambitions in all directions. Since Jumou is determined to achieve great things with this new envoy, how can he do that thing that is bothering and timid? You and I have never harmed the family. Li, it’s just that we are sincerely congenial, so is it wrong?”

After hearing Jushou's words, Tian Feng immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Since you can say this, it shows that you are like-minded people with me. To be honest, Mr. Liu asked for one billion yuan. I will tell the families of the four counties." , no one agrees, and no one can analyze Liu Shijun so pertinently."

"When the change remains unchanged, you will suffer... Even if one billion is too much, but as the head of the local clan, if you don't give any money, wouldn't you be enmity with Liu Shijun? At this time, others can be confused. Brother Hao and I, we must not be confused!"

Tian Feng said: "After I left Yecheng, I wrote a letter back to Julu, ordering my family to collect the money...the amount of money that can be donated to the animal husbandry office should be 3000 million yuan."

Jushou secretly sighed in his heart, Tian Feng's vision was indeed brilliant.

As a bridge between the famous families in Jizhou and Liu Jian, he communicated back and forth on behalf of the two parties. His behavior was impartial, but in fact he had already made his family start preparing goods, which showed that in his heart, he was still inclined to Liu Jian.

Both Jushou and Tian Feng are sensible people.

Nowadays, there are frequent wars in Jizhou, and the number of bandits is increasing day by day. Although the famous families in Jizhou are closely related to each other and seem to be connected with each other, they are actually not strong in times of crisis.

There are signs of chaos in the world.

In this chaotic season, if we continue to stick to the old-fashioned way of resisting the governor of the state and county by local prominent families, we will definitely be overwhelmed.

The local governor and the local prominent family are facing each other, and anyone can win, but there is no doubt that once they fight to the death, they will end up losing both sides.

But Jushou and Tian Feng, the two county patriarchs, are quite far-sighted.

Although they didn't know that the world would be in "chaos", with their unique vision, they were able to predict that the world would be in "chaos".

As for the extent of the chaos, I can't say, but it will definitely be chaos.

Now that the world is going to be chaotic, as a prominent family in a state, they can no longer use the methods of dealing with things in peacetime.

In troubled times, since there is going to be chaos, there is bound to be cost consumption, and it is impossible to apportion all of this cost to local government offices and people from other classes.

The era when a county prestige only took advantage of it without doing anything has long passed.

In the era of gradual chaos, the well-dressed and well-dressed family must have to pay a certain sacrifice.

There is no need to be afraid of sacrificing too much. Once the troubled times are over and the time of peace comes, the family that can follow the heroic monarch to establish a foothold in the chaotic times will inevitably gain huge benefits after the war is over.

The only thing that is uncertain is that once the world is in chaos, you must not follow the wrong person.

The cost of following the wrong person is very high!Even the whole family will decline and perish.

But people are far from their hometowns, and as the local prefects of Jizhou, once the world changes, their first choice must be Liu Jian who has become the shepherd of Jizhou.

If Liu Jian can really lead the local family to contribute to the imperial court in the future, then the family that followed him will definitely take a further step forward on the basis of the original.

Therefore, Tian Feng and Jushou have been observing Liu Jian's actions.

After all, it concerns the whole family, so we have to be careful.

But after observation and analysis, there seems to be no problem with this Liu Jian!

……

Driven by ideas, Tian Feng and Jushou went to Yecheng together to meet Liu Jian.

As the well-dressed men in Jizhou, the actions of the Ju clan of Guangping and the Julutian clan of Julu can even become the weathervane of the nobles in Jizhou.

Compared with Tian Feng, the power of Weijun Guangping Ju clan is more important among the rich and well-dressed clans in Hebei.

In history, after Yuan Shao took over Jizhou from Han Fu, he valued two people most in the Jizhou clan.

One is Jushou and the other is Trial.

When Jushou was under Yuan Shao's command, he supervised the internal and external affairs and shocked the three armies.

When the trial was under Yuan Shao's command, he was in charge of the shogunate.

Of these two people, one is Jushou who will accompany the army in every battle, and has a high prestige in Yuan Shao's army, and the other is Jushou, who is in charge of logistics and supplies for Governor Yuan Shao's rear government office as a sergeant.

The reason why the status of these two people is so high is that talent is only one aspect, and more importantly, Yuan Shao's heavy use of Jushou and trial match is also because the families of these two people can really help Yuan Shao take control of the place in Jizhou.

In the late Han Dynasty, no matter who was sent to a local area, the princes must reuse several local families in the early stage in order to be able to effectively manage the state and county.

For Liu Jian, the same is true.

However, after he came to Jizhou, he did not immediately throw an olive branch to these noble families.

Although this is a path that must be taken in the early stage in order to effectively exercise power, Liu Jian cannot give up the initiative.

It is very important who goes to whom first, and whoever comes to whom first to show favor.

……

Jushou's family was not far from Yecheng, and he was very pleased that Tian Feng came to Yecheng in just two days.

Liu Jian is naturally aware of the prestige of the Ju family among the scholars of Wei Jun.

Liu Jian is also aware of Jushou's own ability.

If the Ju family can move closer to Liu Jian together with the Tian family, then Liu Jian will be able to gain a foothold among the scholars in Hebei.

Of course, it is impossible for there to be no transfer of benefits, which Liu Jian knows very well.

In the history books of previous lives, the relationship between the local warlords and their prominent family counselors in the late Han Dynasty is mostly recorded in a poetic way, similar to such heroes as Ju Shou, Tian Feng, and Shen Pei. The history books only record that they died for Yuan Shao, which is loyalty A man of noble character, died for the monarch.

However, the history books will not record how many political interests these representatives of Jizhou's well-dressed scholars and Yuan Shao have in their daily lives.

There have been loyal ministers and lofty men throughout the ages,

But loyal ministers and lofty ideals will not appear in vain.

Without real interests as a tie, the two monarchs and ministers chatted casually for a night, chatting about the world, dissipating the king's domineering, and attracted the leaders of the Shimen and Gao clan to bow down and shout: "The real my lord!"

You can't say that there are no such idealized situations, but most of them appear in political and military groups with lower status.

A generous man who is willing to die for you is either born or a generous man who is willing to die for you.

Why during the Three Kingdoms period, the monarchs and ministers of Shu Han were the most romantic and tragic?
Because the Yuan Cong family of this group has the lowest status, most of them started from humble beginnings and worked together in times of adversity.

Liu Guanzhang's life and death are shared, Zhao Yun and Liu Bei know each other, and Zhuge Liang's devotion is exhausted.

But now, if you want people like Tian Feng and Ju Shou to have some romance with you, it's not impossible, but it's definitely not easy.

……

When he arrived in Yecheng, Tian Feng recommended Jushou to meet Liu Jian.

When the head of the Ju family came to see him, Liu Jian should greet him in person.

At this time, Liu Jian could probably guess the purpose of Jushou's coming here.

The ruler chooses the minister, and the minister chooses the ruler.
