Chapter 16 The Journey of the Knights (16)(3/3)
After saying this, the man laughed heartily and turned around to enter the inner courtyard.
Zhang Xing also raised his head and laughed...and this was the reason why he liked Taoist Wei, and it was also an important reason why he decided to establish the system on the spot after accepting Wang Wulang's invitation.
After all, the Taoist priests Wei and the great tycoons in the hometown of Dong Qi in recent years are essentially the so-called ruined ruling class, and the best thing is that they are ruined... Because being ruined means that these people are forced to sink to the bottom and lose their political power.
Benefits In the process of seeking economic benefits, your horizons are broadened and your work becomes more practical.
For example, Taoist priest Wei was so depressed that he didn't even have clean clothes. Once he gained some power, he changed his clothes every day.
Of course, this is a bad example, but there are good examples.
For example, Taoist Wei's pragmatism at this time, and his concern and aversion to the participation of wealthy families in the rebellion.
For another example, when chaos broke out at the beginning, Xu Dalang's first reaction was to drive away the bandits to ensure the safety of the surrounding villages and towns. Wang Wulang actually behaved similarly, and Shan Dalang also immediately wanted to control the Juye Ze bandits.
For example, Zhang Xing organized troops in Putai and asked the troops to help the surrounding people harvest crops, inspect the land, and distribute the deserted land to some of the eliminated soldiers... Cheng Dalang not only did not resist this measure, but
More positive than anyone else. Returning to Niuda, although Niuda was somewhat resistant to Zhang Xing's behavior, it was more out of confusion and he was essentially able to approve of this behavior of winning people's hearts.
Taoist Wei did not mention it, but the reason why the following powerful men are like this is simple enough. Although they are undoubtedly exploiters, as former nobles-turned-manor owners, they know better than anyone else where their power comes from.
of.
They know who raises the horses, who makes the armor, where the soldiers come from, they know that even the great master cannot go hungry, they know the importance of farming, and they understand that ten lower-level practitioners can always wear down a higher-level practitioner.
By.
At the same time, coupled with a little indoctrination of the so-called feudal principles and the tempering of real life, they led them to respect rules and understand the use of great principles and principles.
The far-sighted among them are even willing to proactively and pragmatically transfer their interests to the bottom farmers to ensure their right to survival. They are also willing to compromise with others, establish organizations, and seek to grow.
The last two points are especially precious after the beginning of the troubled times... The lower-level tycoons like Zhang Jinsheng have no such insight at all, and those who are as powerful as the great master Cao Huangshu, Guanlong Juntou, and Shandong aristocratic families,
They also regard those at the bottom as nothing, and at the same time take everything they get as a matter of course.
Of course, in the end, these shabby ruling classes do what they do because they want to become true masters and return to the ruling class... This matter is difficult to change in a short time, and Zhang Xing is not prepared to do so.
If you want to change, you have to take one step at a time.
If you really want to pursue change, you still need time, the collapse of the entire world, and beating them with blood, iron and humanity for a few times. Maybe some people will be willing to make some fundamental changes... Li Ding is like this, and so are these people.
in this way.
However, if possible, Zhang Xing, who has no foundation, is still willing to intimidate, induce, deceive, and sneak attacks to force these talented people of the times to contribute to his ideas.
Because this group of people is really good, and they are the only elite group that can be counted on at the moment.
"Gao Shitong and Sun Xuanzhi led a company of 150,000 troops across the river from the sea. Wang Hou led a 100,000 troops from Yimeng Mountain and immediately went north. As he watched, they were attacking Dengzhou from the north and south..." Zhang Xing finished reading
He threw the note aside, continued to pick up the porridge and took a sip, and then said to Taoist Wei, Xiong Bonan, Niu Da, Zhou Xingfan and others. "Both sides asked Cheng Dalang if he was going? The Dengzhou government also asked Cheng Dalang.
Should I go? The Bohai government is also asking Cheng Dalang if he is going? Cheng Dalang himself is also asking me if I am going? Do you think I should go?"
Almost everyone present lost their composure.
Only Zhang Xing stretched out his hand to twist off a chicken leg and gnawed it with abandon... There was no other way. Don't look at some people living and eating with the soldiers these days, pretending to be very high-profile, but in front of a small meal, they just
His true nature was revealed in an instant.
