I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 382
The imperial court's new policy on imperial examinations was distributed to all states and counties, and Liu Jian was the first to respond.

Liu Jian understands that, except for the counties in Guanzhong, in order for the new policy to be implemented locally, someone has to stand up and take the lead.

He has already found Dong Zhuo as the agent for the person who issued the New Deal, but he is afraid that no one else will be able to take the initiative to replace him when it comes to setting the lead.

According to the dispositions of prefects and prime ministers of various states and counties, they must have judged the situation and respected the will of the imperial court on the surface, but actually acted according to the rules without realizing it.

So this time, Liu Jian couldn't hide.

He decided to stand up and be the one who crossed the river by feeling the stones first.

In this world, it is impossible for others to do everything. When you should stand up, you must stand up.

As soon as the imperial court announced the new policy, Liu Jian immediately passed the imperial government's decree to every county office in the name of the animal husbandry office, and ordered the county office to reach the county within the specified date, and then ordered the county to pass it on to the township within a specified time. Join the gathering to ensure the smoothness of the New Deal's decrees.

Although there are no practical actions, Liu Jian's behavior has already shown his determination to implement the New Deal in Hebei.

……

"Nowadays all the princes in the world have not moved, only the lord strictly abides by the imperial court's new policy order, and ordered the county to send the order to the county and township in time. From the eyes of the people in the world, the lord is the biggest supporter of the new deal in the local area, but this may not be beneficial to the lord. "

The person who said this was Jia Xu, who came here today to sincerely persuade Liu Jian.

Liu Jian shook his head.

"I know everything Wen He said. It's just that there are some things that you can't hide or hide. In life, it's very important to protect yourself wisely, but sometimes, when it's time to go up, you must go up!"

"Although a good Tibetan can live for a long time and save his life, from ancient times to the present, every major event in this world, which one can be accomplished without making any sacrifices?"

"Wenhe, you are a person who is good at hiding. I know this, and I also understand that people who are good at hiding can live a stable life in this life, but I am not you. What I want to do is not to seek comfort. If I really If I wanted to be safe, I wouldn't be sitting in this position today."

Jia Xu was a little moved when he heard Liu Jian's words.

But then, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"What the lord said is very true. Jia Xu is a person who only wants to live a stable life, and the lord is a hero who is determined to save the common people. There is a world of difference between Xu Zhizhi and Jia Xu. How can Jia Xu use his own ideas to limit the lord? Woolen cloth?"

Liu Jian shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's not a restriction, it's just a suggestion. I understand that your suggestions are for my own good. No matter what, I feel at ease with someone like you by my side."

Liu Jian's words warmed Jia Xu's heart.

He is a smart man, and Liu Jian is also a smart man.

Liu Jian knows what Jia Xu wants, and Jia Xu also knows what Liu Jian wants, so the cooperation between the two of them has been smooth so far.

Jia Xu is very comfortable doing things for Liu Jian, because Liu Jian knows where his bottom line is, and never lets himself do things that exceed his bottom line, or that he doesn't want to do. This is what Jia Xu does to other people Never felt it.

Jia Xu followed Liu Jian during this period of time, and was unknowingly attracted by his personality charm.

He began to gradually understand why Liu Bei, Liu Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Shenpei, Jushou, Tian Feng, Xun Yu... so many people are willing to surround Liu Jian and become his confidants willingly , go through fire and water for him, and overcome obstacles for him.

That's because Liu Jian was able to give them genuine respect.

This respect is not the so-called polite corporal, nor is it the kind of superficial respect, but a kind of understanding and consideration for them from the bottom of the heart.

Liu Jian knows where the bottom line of everyone under him is, so he never crosses the line.

At the same time, he also knows the character of everyone under him.

He intersects with these people based on this bottom line and character, and controls his friendship behavior with these people within the scope of the bottom line rules.

It sounds simple, but it is not so simple in practice.

This is a very costly matter for both businessmen, and it will cost Liu Jian a lot of effort.

But the rewards are also huge.

At least in this era, as a master, there are not many people who can actively study the character of their subordinates like Liu Jian.

……

"What is Wenhe thinking?"

Liu Jian's soft call brought Jia Xu back from his contemplation.

Jia Xu hastily cupped his hands and bowed: "Xu was just thinking about something."

"What's the matter?"

"Since my lord has decided to give priority to the implementation of the imperial court's new policy, there will inevitably be another undercurrent in Hebei. Right now, on the border of Youzhou, the internal conquest of Wuhuan has reached a peak. It is precisely Guan Yunchang, Zhang Yide, etc. It is a great opportunity for people to pacify Wuhuan in one fell swoop, at that time, it is better not to have any troubles in Hebei, so I think to myself, how can I help the Lord to settle this matter?"

Liu Jian was very happy when he heard this.

His face is now full of smiles.

"Wenhe, you have changed a bit, do you know?"

Jia Xu was taken aback when he heard this.

"Where did the last official change?"

Liu Jian said very affirmatively: "If it were changed to the original, I would definitely ask you and you, and you would answer some things. If I didn't take the initiative to ask you about some things, you would definitely not plan for me."

Liu Jian's words surprised Jia Xu.

He didn't expect Liu Jian to say such a thing.

But soon, a smile appeared on Jia Xu's face.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is also true.

But why do you want to do this?

I think it's because Liu Jian can give himself the greatest sense of security.

For the current Jia Xu, only by protecting Liu Jian can he feel more secure.

If Liu Jian is defeated.

Jia Xu may never find another person like this in his life.

Liu Jian asked, "Then have you come up with any plan to help me stabilize the situation?"

Jia Xu was silent for a while, then nodded.

"My lord wants to quickly implement the New Deal in Hebei, and at the same time stabilize the situation in Hebei without causing too much turmoil. In Jia Xu's view, there is only one way."

"any solution?"

Jia Xu was silent for a while, and said:
"kill."

There was an eerie silence between the two of them.

When I was young, Fang heard Liu Jian speak slowly: "It's a good way."

"However, Wen He, you must know that Liu is famous for his faith. I can kill people, but I can't kill people casually, and I can't kill many people indiscriminately."

"If you want to play a deterrent role in Hebei, it is useless to kill only one or two people. If you want to kill, you must kill more."

"But how can I kill a lot of people indiscriminately?"

Jia Xu stood up from where he was.

He made a long bow to Liu Jian.

"Although Jia Xu has not been with the lord for a long time, he knows that the lord is a man of faith. The lord stands in the world with benevolence and righteousness. What he does is respected by all people. Naturally, Jia Xu will not let the lord kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Jia Xu thinks the lord can kill, but he must kill those who deserve it."

Liu Jian narrowed his eyes: "Dare to ask Wen He, who deserves what he deserves?"

"Before, the members of the forty prominent families who united with Yuan Shu in the rebellion, shouldn't they deserve to die?"

Liu Jian was stunned by Jia Xu's words.

Most of the more than forty prominent families were controlled by Liu Jian's original design.

After Liu Jian captured them, they were asked about their crimes, and then they were all sent to prison.

Among these people, except for Zhang Yi who was frightened to death after being whipped by Zhang Fei, the others are still eating in the prison in Jizhou.

In fact, logically speaking, it should have been dealt with long ago, but there are too many of these people, and Liu Jian has been considering an appropriate sentencing.

But listening to what Jia Xu meant today, it seemed that he wanted to kill them all.

"Kill all?"

Jia Xu nodded, "Kill them all."

"Hehe, you are really poisonous."

Jia Xu didn't change his face: "Does my lord think that their crimes are not worthy of death?"

Liu Jian slowly propped up his body with his hands.

"I'm not afraid of killing people. Even if I kill a lot of people at once, it's not a big deal. But if I kill more than 40 people at once, will it cause some negative impact on me? This is what I have been thinking about all the time. , As for whether people die or not, this is not important to me."

Jia Xu said: "My lord, in this world, no matter how benevolent a monarch is, his hands are bound to be stained with blood. This cannot be stopped by the lord's benevolence and righteousness. No matter how benevolent and righteous the lord is, there will be people who are against you. It is impossible for everyone to be killed by the lord." Influence, the lord's reputation cannot always be perfect, according to the opinion of the junior official, if you kill a thousand sinners, you can save the lives of millions of good people, so why be afraid of those so-called reputations?"

"Furthermore, the rebellion of the forty-odd tribes is true. My lord can draw up a list and deliver it to the imperial court. After obtaining the imperial court's strict order, they can be executed publicly."

"My lord, killing these people is justified, not indiscriminate."

"People always have to pay the price for their actions."

"Although the killing of these people has nothing to do with the promotion of the New Deal, once the blood of these thousands of heads has soaked the streets and alleys of the counties in Jizhou, whoever wants to go against the New Deal in the next step will have to weigh it himself. "

Liu Jian stopped suddenly.

His eyes narrowed into a slit.

Then, I saw him say affirmatively:
"rational."
