I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 391 Sizhou Meat Grinder

Jia Xu's words made Liu Jian realize something, and he began to lower his head and meditate.

Jia Xu was not in a hurry, he waited quietly, waiting for Liu Jian to figure it out.

When I was young, I saw Liu Jian speak slowly:
"I understand the meaning of Wenhe. Do you think Sizhou is the most important place in the world, and you want me to assign this place under your own governance?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "No, according to Xu's opinion, if my lord sends troops to Sizhou, it's okay... But if you want to completely occupy Sizhou, it's not okay."

Liu Jian completely lost Jia Xu's temper.

Why does this old guy talk differently before and after?
The meaning behind the words just now was to ask me to go to Sizhou to take the lead, why did the conversation change and not suggest that I go to occupy Sizhou?
Seeing the puzzled look on Liu Jian's face, Jia Xu then said slowly, "Actually, Xu advised the lord to send troops to Sizhou not to let the lord occupy this place, but to let the lord send troops to balance this place."

"Balance this place? What do you mean?" Liu Jian looked at Jia Xu in puzzlement and asked.

Jia Xu cleared her throat lightly, and then spoke slowly.

"Luoyang is one of the two capitals. It has always been valued by the people of the world. It is the place where the economic and political tycoons hoarded in the Han Dynasty. Today, although the capital of the Han Dynasty is Chang'an, Luoyang is the link between the Kanto and Kansai. , but more important.”

"This time the students were sent to make trouble, there must be the support of some officials in the court and the Yuan family, which prevented the smooth implementation of the imperial examination. Firstly, and secondly, they wanted to take advantage of this incident to gain a firm foothold in Sizhou Heel, as long as they can occupy Sizhou, they will hold half of the lifeline of the Han Dynasty, so naturally, my lord can't just sit idly by."

Liu Jian nodded and said, "Because of this, I also want to take this opportunity to occupy Sizhou and bring this important territory under my control, so as to avoid any problems in the future."

Jia Xu said: "That's why Jia didn't want his lord to occupy Sizhou. Sizhou is so important, and it is still one of the two capitals. It must be in charge of the emperor and the court. The lord always puts his name first. May I ask why this should be done by the emperor?" Why does the capital under the imperial court fall under the rule of the lord? What is the name of the lord to rule this place? Of course, if the lord must rule, no one can say anything."

Liu Jian seemed a little taken aback when he heard this.

He probably understood what Jia Xu was trying to express.

"Wenhe, please continue."

Jia Xu arched his hands and said: "Besides, according to Jia, the land of Sizhou will become a battleground for military strategists for a long time to come. The emperor and Dong Zhuo are absolutely unwilling to give up. Gongqing and the Yuan brothers outside of them must also be eager to seize Sizhou as a foothold to contain Guanzhong. In this way, the land of the five counties of Sizhou will become..."

Liu Jian said slowly, "It has become a meat grinder for fierce battles between the Mushous, right?"

Jia Xu was taken aback when he heard this.

"Meat grinder? What is a meat grinder?"

Liu Jian explained with a smile: "Is it the meaning of a deep quagmire?"

Jia Xu suddenly nodded.

"My lord, this metaphor is well drawn and very apt. I am afraid that within a few years, the land of Sizhou will become a quagmire for the shepherds of the towns. Those who occupy Sizhou will not only control the local rich and famous families, but also constantly To deal with the harassment of foreign enemies, it will definitely invest a lot of manpower and financial resources, so at this time, taking down Sizhou is not the best strategy."

Liu Jianyan said: "So the words of Wenhe Shicai are for me to check and balance this place. Let Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, the court ministers and the world's famous families compete here, and use the land of Sizhou to wear down their strength. Shall I say I'm just sitting on the fish for a profit?"

Jia Xu stood up and gave Liu Jian a long salute.

"My lord is really a hero in this world, and I can describe it in detail."

Liu Jian said again: "It's just that Wen He thinks how to deal with the troubles caused by the Tai students in Sizhou is the most appropriate?"

Jia Xu said seriously: "Accordingly, the students of Taixue are the pillars of my great man, but most of the students in the world today are relatives of famous families."

"Their interests are not exactly in line with those of the Great Han Dynasty. However, Xu believes that as long as the imperial examination system is implemented, and the lord establishes private schools in the territory, this poor family will be able to obtain education channels and promotion channels. After a few years , the scholars and students in this world will really start to think about the interests of the Great Han Dynasty, and dedicate their knowledge to the real benefit of the country."

"The current Taixue students are just a temporary illness after all. Although it is difficult, it will not last long after all."

Liu Jian sighed in his heart: After all, it is still the fault of the procuratorial system.

But you can't say that the probation system is not good, at least compared with the original aristocratic hereditary system, the probation system is already a historic breakthrough.

But now, it is time to replace the prosecution system with a more advanced system.

However, it really takes a long process to solve the problem of Tai students.

I don't know if my teacher can hold on in Luoyang.

……

Indeed, as Liu Jian thought, Lu Zhi was really devastated in Luoyang at the moment.

[-] Tai students making trouble, that is no ordinary trivial matter.

First of all, these 2 people are making trouble, he is not the same as your normal [-] ordinary people making trouble.

This is more difficult to deal with than 20 people making trouble.

Ordinary people make trouble, and the imperial court can suppress it with military force, but if Tai students make trouble, it must not be easily used by force.

These 2 people are almost supported by families. Even if there is no family as support, they are all gentry who control public opinion. Not to mention anything else, Lu Ziqian's domestic reputation will be gone.

Can you still wipe out the [-] families behind them?
Although Lu Zhi is also a man who is loyal to the country and serves the country and the people, it is not easy for him to gain his reputation over the years. If his reputation is tainted all his life because of the matter of the Tai student, Lu Zhi will die with regret. .

In the past few days, Tai students have been gathering in various places in Luoyang, marching wantonly, and spreading the malpractice of the New Deal, preaching that the New Deal is a bad one.

Whether the New Deal is good or bad for the world, Lu Zhi knows best in his heart, and he also knows that this New Deal is written by his apprentice.

Although Lu Zhi is also a vested interest in the procuratorial system, he deeply understands that if the Han Dynasty does not carry out an effective and thorough political reform, it is likely to be over. In the long river.

The New Deal jointly planned by Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo is the best medicine to save the Han Dynasty.

In order to calm Luoyang's rumors, Lu Zhi kept sending people to communicate with the leaders of the students stationed in Taitai to guide the riots, hoping to force them to give up making troubles, but with little effect.

Obviously, these Tai students don't take Lu Zhi seriously now.

The words of famous Confucians in the country are now like farting to them.

After all, the imperial examination will affect their future!
The position that should belong to them should be taken out now, so that everyone in the world is eligible to take the exam with them. From their point of view, this must be a bad government!

In the eyes of these Taixue students, a serious class concept has already been formed.

Being an official is simply not something that poor families and ordinary wealthy people can do.

That is the privilege of top scholars like them.

Facing the future, great Confucianism is not easy to talk about!
Under the persecution of this situation, Lu Zhi committed a difficult situation.

He kept sending others to ask for help from Niu Fu and the other prefects of the four counties, hoping that they could help him and that everyone could tide over this difficulty together.

But the prefects of the other four counties obviously didn't want to take care of this matter.

After all, this matter is a bit too tricky, and it did not happen within the jurisdiction of others. It is better to have less than one more thing.

In particular, Niu Fu, the governor, lacked political wisdom, and there was nothing he could do about it.

However, at this time, Lu Bu arrived in Sizhou.
