Chapter 2073: Establishing a system
Daijun.
In the west, in a certain valley.
In a cottage.
Liu Bei was drinking with several knights.
The wine is good, clear and transparent, and comes in different grades.
Some people drink mild drinks, others drink strong drinks.
Among them are Guan Yu, Jian Yong and others.
"We are only cultivating and making a living in the valley, but the Yellow Turbans are raging outside. When I think of the suffering of the people, I feel ashamed. If a man cannot make achievements and appease the people, how can he be a man?" After three rounds of drinking, , Jian Yong sighed.
"Diannong Xiaowei has unexpected strategies and cares about the people of the people. He is really a strange person in the world. He can collect refugees and bandits and place them in the mountains. This is also to appease the people." Liu Bei said.
"Having said that, Brother Liu, it would be a waste of time for us to sit in the mountains while we have a great time." Jian Yong said again.
"Where is Gongsi? Every day, he patrols the villages, opens fields to feed the people, and helps the common people. This is also a major event." Liu Bei said in admiration.
"Okay, it seems that Brother Liu plans to spend his remaining days in this mountain? You are a member of the Han Dynasty, don't you want to help protect the Han Dynasty, make contributions, and be granted the title of marquis and prime minister?" Jian Yong asked.
"I believe that Captain Diannong is just dormant at this time. I see him saving food and training his soldiers every day, just waiting for the right time." Liu Bei affirmed.
His vision is much higher than that of ordinary rangers.
But the specific details were lacking, and it never took root.
That’s why Zhuge Liang can take root.
But in actual fighting, Zhuge Liang is not relied upon.
"What my brother said is absolutely true. I think they have built strongholds and outposts in dangerous places. A hundred soldiers can resist thousands of people for four to five days, even if a hundred thousand people come to attack. , will also have to retreat due to food and disease," Guan Yu also admired.
He is pitiful but proud of his superiors, and only admires extremely powerful people.
Jian Yong shook his head and said: "Since the two brothers have also seen this, they should know that our captain may have already had the intention of separatism and rebellion."
Liu Bei was silent, Guan Yu did not Word.
The two of them naturally understood.
But at this time, they only had an official position because of the promotion of famous people.
At this time Liu Bei had been promoted to Qu Chang, and Guan Yu was also the Qu Chang, commanding a thousand people in total.
However, they cannot take away many of these people.
Because there is one system responsible for battlefield command, another system responsible for daily military training, another system responsible for logistics, and another system for mastering military law and promotion rewards.
In addition, there is Fubing Cao, who is responsible for calming morale, collecting soldiers' movements, and monitoring the movements of chief officers. He rotates in each battalion every six months.
This is a completely different military system from other Han armies.
In the Taiping years, someone must have informed Wen Rensheng that he had evil intentions and was plotting rebellion.
But now?
The rebels are clearly outside...
Conquer the prefectures and counties, kill the officials, rob the powerful, and threaten the people...
And according to the real history, Zhang Yan After the Yellow Turbans, rebellions continued, and the imperial court was unable to suppress them. Later, they asked for submission to the Han Dynasty, and were able to win over the high-ranking officials of the generals who were in trouble.
You must know that this time point was before 190. From 184 to 190, in just a few years, he became a prince in a place. It can be said that Zhang Yan is very capable.
He was able to manage administrative and public security affairs in the mountainous areas north of the Yellow River. He could recommend Xiaolian to the court every year and send planners to Luoyang to report.
At the same time, Liu Bei was just a plain minister, running around.
It is conceivable that the gap between the two is huge.
Of course, in the end, because of his ambition and background, Zhang Yan could only be granted the title of Marquis, and Liu Bei became the emperor.
But compared to most people at that time, Zhang Yan was an absolute winner.
But now, there is no need to compare Wen Rensheng with Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan can't even compare to his feet.
So Liu Bei and others became more frightened and chilled the more they looked at it.
Even if they tell the truth, so what?
The imperial court is still in a state of distress.
This is a mountainous area. How many people can be sent to destroy it?
When the time comes, all Wen Rensheng needs to do is submit a letter requesting surrender, and he will be granted the title immediately.
On the contrary, they will be criticized for being unkind and unjust.
Don't care whether Wen Rensheng has the intention of separatist rebellion or not, as long as he doesn't raise a banner, even if he raises a banner, it won't be a big deal in the end.
Too many people who rebelled were recruited and banned.
Therefore, Liu Bei and others could only sigh secretly.
As for assassination, it is even more impossible.
The opponent has many guards around him and treats them very well. They are not Lu Bu's temperament either.
The last option is to run away.
I can neither assassinate nor report.
But why hasn’t Liu Bei left yet?
It’s simple, he wants to learn more.
As long as he learns more, he feels that he will be more likely to protect the strong man in the future.
After silence, several people started drinking again.
This wine is much better than usual.
Also known as "Taihang Eight Wines", it has eight flavors and is being sold continuously through the sales channels of Zhangjia Manor in Youzhou in exchange for more food.
There are many people in wealthy families who are good at wine, but they cannot make wine, but they have more food.
If you want to steal their food openly, you will definitely resist with all your strength.
But if you exchange good wine for their food, even if you gain high commercial profits in the process, they will come to buy it.
Of course there must be many wealthy families who want to rob it openly and covertly, but Wen Rensheng has soldiers, many of them, and the valley as a base.
He's not afraid of the imperial court, so why would he be afraid of being robbed?
This is a general commercial plundering method only found in later generations.
The other party has to provide a hundred kilograms of grain in exchange for wine that can actually be brewed with only ten kilograms of grain.
And alcohol is addictive.
Countless people from wealthy families get drunk every day.
Zhang Fei is a typical representative among them.
So although this thing is a waste of food, it can promote the circulation of food, which is naturally what Wen Rensheng must do.
Before, in Zhangjia Manor, because there were not many soldiers and horses, brewing could not be carried out on a large scale.
Now he has opened more breweries in the mountains.
In fact, more of them should be secondary processing workshops, buying cheap junk wine, filtering and purifying it with modern technology, and turning it into good wine. One time and two times, the profit will be ten times or even dozens of times.
In this way, most of the food and grass problem can be solved.
Although Liu Bei and others didn't quite understand the process, they could still tell. Over the past few months, the food and grass in the mountains had gradually become abundant.
Every day there are carts escorting grain and grass into the mountains.
And the soldiers' physical fitness is also getting stronger day by day.
There are more smiles on people’s faces.
The prestige of Wen Rensheng, the Diannong captain, was also increasing day by day.
If this were not Liu Bei’s childhood and sworn brothers from the past, they would definitely not be able to talk like this.
But just like that, a waiter serving wine heard a few words.
This servant does not know the character of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Jian Yong and others, so he will never betray his benefactor and report secretly.
He just felt that these people were talking about the captain's rebellion.
If he were a villain like Tang Zhou, he would probably inform him himself.
But he was a prisoner who came down from the battlefield, and was promoted to a mountain citizen by Wenren.
It was difficult at the beginning, but now things are getting better and better these days.
There is also Bentou, and there are people making arrangements for him to get a wife.
How could he watch his benefactor being reported? So he ran out secretly while holding wine, found the village where he was, and then found
Cao Bingcao, who had been very good to him in the past, told this matter.
When Fu Bingcao heard this, he was surprised. Someone actually saw that his lord wanted to rebel...
Wait, it's not a big deal.
Isn’t it just a self-established military system?
Isn't it equivalent to the county governor recruiting a few more private workers?
How dare you actually frame Duke Ming for treason?
So Fubing Cao immediately delivered the letter through secret channels.
Describe the matter briefly.
Wen Rensheng saw it that night.
He smiled.
However, I still leave this matter to my own staff to handle.
That is, the students around him.
"Ming Gong, this seems to be a small matter, but in fact it reflects that the lower class people are at peace, while the middle and upper classes are worried, because everyone does not know what big things Ming Gong is going to do." Student A said.
"Yes, what Brother Gong said is that Ming Gong has no choice but to investigate." Student B followed.
In fact, don't they know that Wen Rensheng wants to gather people to rebel?
But they felt that the Han Dynasty was almost over and it was time for a new owner.
This is not just one person who thinks this way, but many people, ranging from aristocratic families to ordinary people, at least one fifth of the people think so.
Why else would the Yuan family start a two-Yuan layout, one in the north and one in the south.
Why did Cao Cao become king later and there were not many opponents?
Why did Yuan Shu dare to openly proclaim himself emperor?
Rebellions abound.
Now Wen Rensheng is preparing for rebellion, but he has not stated it clearly. The people at the lower class only think that the days are getting better and better, so naturally they will not think too much about it.
But if there are career seekers, they will think about where to go?
Is it a rebellion, a search for peace, or a place of stability?
Now is also the time to test Wen Rensheng.
Once we have the foundation, we must put forward the goal of orthography.
This can calm people's hearts and unite everyone.
Whose route is he going to take?
Of course it belongs to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly."
After he finished speaking the nine words, everyone suddenly understood.
“Ming Gong is so talented that no one can match him.”
“Ming Gong’s words are inspiring and enlightening, and make students deeply alert.”
“Ming Gong has a big heart. The universe is filled with galaxies, and it’s hard for anyone to compare it to anything else.”
At this time, these confidants all bowed to the ground.
Winning people's hearts is difficult and easy.
Give food, salary, and a way out.
Use this as a filter. Those who are willing to stay in peace will stay, those who are not willing to stay will leave, and those who oppose it will be killed.
Building a system, with clear rewards and punishments, a strict system, self-replication, and self-expansion will naturally push the master forward.
Now Wen Rensheng is right in the mountains.
What he relies on is not force or charm, but wisdom, the wisdom that can lead everyone and make all students worship him.
In any era, the word mentor naturally means leader.
Everyone didn’t know how to solve the problem at first, but he solved it.
Everyone didn’t know how to march and fight at first, but he solved it again.
Everyone didn't know how to deal with the relationship with the Han Dynasty, but he still solved it.
The solution to each problem represents layers of prestige and layers of aura.
Even if there are people like Liu Bei who want to deviate, more people and more moderate people still want to follow.
After all, what can you do after you leave the mountain?
Become a hungry victim, become a victim, will others use you?
Maybe it will work, but it's not as good as being a confidant here, and it's not as good as being able to adapt here.
Someone has solved the problems here. After you get out, you will have to solve those problems yourself.
If you can solve problems, you can gather people by hearing people rise.
The strategy is decided.
But how should Liu Bei handle this matter?
Wen Rensheng smiled and said: "When I do things, I only focus on deeds and not on heart. Has he violated any of the regulations that have been promulgated?"
Everyone thought for a while, and someone said: "He gathered in private to speculate on Ming Gong. , there are many slanderous words, which can easily shake the morale of the army, which is the crime of slow army."
What is the crime of slow army?
In short, all you need to know is that the crime related to the word "military" is basically beheading.
Again, it is the kind of beating with military sticks, fifty or one hundred, without bribery, without the superior officer speaking, without anyone asking for mercy, and someone can be beaten to death accidentally.
Everyone gasped.
They know who it is just by the sound.
I saw that the man had a wretched appearance and half of his hair was white, which was due to the gray hair of a young man.
This is Wen Rensheng’s diehard fan: Wang De.
Wang De currently serves as the chief military officer.
The reason is also very simple. First, the promotion of talents and learning truly contains the universe, and there is no question that he cannot answer.
Secondly, Wen Rensheng did not judge others by their appearance and treated them equally.
When Wang De was studying in the past, others turned him away as soon as they saw his appearance.
But here at Wen Rensheng, he was willing to endure hardships and his mind was quick, and he was quickly promoted from elementary school to middle school and even university.
Yes, the school run by Wen Rensheng is now divided into three parts.
In the elementary school, he went on a lecture tour once every half month.
Middle school, one week.
University hall, lectures every day.
There is also an inner school, so you can take it with you.
The teachers in the above schools are all old students who lead the new students.
When the old student talks about it, it is also a process of progress. If he or she is not proficient enough, he will be questioned by others when teaching.
Being a good teacher is one of the best ways for children to learn knowledge.
It’s just that he is an introvert.
And there is no room for anyone to dare to say that Wen Rensheng is not good at all.
Otherwise, the person must be recorded on a bamboo slip.
It is said that there are already a basket of such bamboo slips.
"Is there anyone else?" Wen Rensheng asked again.
Everyone immediately understood that the teacher was testing them.
"The crime of slowing down the army is to first incite and influence the soldiers. However, Liu Bei and others only had a private banquet and did not actively publicize it to the outside world. Therefore, it should not be this crime, it is just behind the scenes It is better to see the consequences of slander. If it is spread widely and causes adverse effects, then it will be charged with disturbing public order." Another humane comment.
Wen Rensheng smiled.
Yes, some people are more moderate.
Three kinds of people are needed to govern a country. One is those who do not ask about right or wrong and only actively move closer to themselves; the other is neutral; the other is those who only adhere to the truth.
The former can be used as stability, the latter is the basic board, and the last is the backbone.
"Very good, let's do it like this. Just keep strict surveillance and no more charges for now." Wen Rensheng was not worried about Liu Bei going to report him.
A complaint is useless.
Now that the Han Dynasty is in trouble due to the Yellow Turbans, how can it possibly control a separatist power like itself that has not yet openly rebelled?
