Faced with Li Zheng's anger, Jia Xu was not moved. He just looked at Li Zheng for a while, and suddenly smiled kindly: "As Jia expected, Li Zhengshi should have been born in a family of classics, right? It's a pity that there are no two thousand stones among several generations. Although you can say that you are from a family of classics, if you call him a prominent family of classics, you are afraid that Li Jun will not be able to get along with him."

Jia Xu is right. Although Li Zheng came from Jiangxia Pingchun, although he was also a school of Confucianism, he was a smaller family. Among the five generations, including Li Zheng, there were eleven students, including five men and six men. Four of them were selected as filial and honest officials by the county. Four of them served as two county magistrates and one county magistrate. Only Li Zheng was appointed as Yicheng and the county magistrate. It can be said that among the five generations of the Li family, Li Zheng was the highest in the career of the officialdom.

It can be said that Li Zheng is the most supreme existence of this family in more than a hundred years.

Such a family may have a certain influence in the local area and may have a certain influence in the small county's taxi forests, but they are still far from the Junwang family.

Li Zheng was so worried that Jia Xu was talking about it, his face turned red, and he was so angry that he almost bit his teeth into pieces.

If it weren't for the secret visit, he would have to slap this old poison to death!

"So what if I am not a clan of the county? What does this have to do with your betrayal of Liu Fujun?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "If you are a county or a clan, you will know the profound meaning of what I did a few days ago."

Li Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't understand what Jia Xu meant.

Jia Xu stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "I dare to ask Mr. Li, who was the one who asked him to lead his troops to Bowangpo to seize the baggage?"

Li Zheng had a headache at Jia Xu's endless question at this moment, so he said, "This should not be what Mr. Jia should know, right?"

Seeing that Li Zheng did not answer, Jia Xu was not angry and said lightly: "Actually, if Mr. Li didn't say it, Jia could guess it. Although Mr. Jia didn't know the name of this person, I know that the person who offered this strategy to Mr. Liu must be from a prominent family, and must have been recently surrendered to Mr. Fu, and he has not fully known about Mr. Fu's strategy against the gentry of Nanyang County."

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Li Zheng's hand holding Shang couldn't help but start to shake. The water in Shang instantly spilled out, and the water dripping on his wrists and sleeves, looking very sloppy and awkward.

He looked at Jia Xu in surprise, and a huge wave appeared in his heart.

How did this old man guess so accurately? Could it be that his detailed work could not be achieved in my Jingzhou military camp?

Yes, the one who gave Liu Qi this plan was indeed Xun You, who had just come from the Xun family of Yingchuan.

Xun Shuang, who had just passed away in the Xun family, was already in the position of the Three Dukes before her death. There is no doubt that the Xun family in Yingchuan has begun to tend and transform from a classical family to a family.

However, Xun You's surrender has not been spread out.

Even if it is spread, Jia Xu shouldn't have guessed so specific!

There must be his spy in the camp, and there is no other possibility...or he is a god!

Jia Xu said slowly: "Jia is not capable, so he should be placed in the big village of your army. Li Zhengshi does not need to make any more suspicion."

After hearing this, Li Zheng tilted his body and almost fell down.

After a while, Fang saw him looking at Jia Xu in surprise and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Wenhe is a god?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I am not a god. The reason why I dare to tell you this is just because you are not a member of the prominent clan and have not yet realized the real needs of the people of the prominent clan."

Li Zheng's anger was swept away at this moment. He bowed respectfully to Jia Xu and said, "I hope to hear it carefully."

"There is a single family with many branches, such as the Yin clan and Zhang clan of Nanyang County. There are more than ten forts established by various clan branches in the county. The Yin clan destroyed by the former Niu Zhonglang general is just one of the family forts, which has not yet touched its roots. It shows how wide the tribes are and how powerful they are. However, if the clans want to maintain their long-term power, they must recruit students, cooperate with other counties and form a rain net, so that the family can make long-term profits."

Li Zheng still understood these principles, and then nodded responsively.

Jia Xu continued: "This master who offered advice to the Lord of the House is as good as Jia expected. He must have just joined the Muzhi Lord of the House, and he was from other prestigious families. He can offer the Lord of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House of the House

"In fact, from this person's perspective, it is also a good intention. After all, in this person's eyes, this world is the world of prominent families and clans. Those who rely on the king should be the clan... Unfortunately, the Liu Fujun is not the two Yuan Yuan. With Jia's observation of him, the mansion seems to be unwilling to be constrained by the clans, so there is another picture."

When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He was silent for a long time before sighing: "Li Zheng realized how shallow his thoughts were, and he was ashamed."

Jia Xu smiled faintly and said, "Li Zhengshi doesn't have to do this, it's just a trivial matter. Xu is not a forward-looking person, but he knows a little bit more about the family affairs than you."

Li Zheng bowed and asked, "Then Mr. Jia, what is the relationship between asking my family to lead troops to seize Yuan Shu's supplies and the joint local family of Nanyang County?"

Jia Xu patiently explained to Li Zheng: "Although Yuan Shu has acquired many wealth in Nanyang County in the past two years, although it is not as fierce as the Xiliang Army's prison search, it is also used to strictly implement the pressure of the government and exploit ordinary Guizhou leaders and the people of Qi. The huge gains in this are also known to all families..."

When he said this, Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "I dare to ask Li Zhengshi, if the emperor of the mansion really sent someone to seize the supplies that Yuan Shu had obtained in Nanyang County, what do you think these aristocratic families in Nanyang County would do?"

"This..." Li Zheng lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, and said with some insight: "Can they send someone to ask for it?"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "The people of the aristocratic families are used to being domineering locally, and they know a little about the quantity and channels of those wealth. Ordinary Guizhou leaders Qi people dare not come and ask for it. The aristocratic families will not be polite. Do you think that if Liu Fujun gives it to you or not?"

"This... should be given to it?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "It's not that he can give it, but that he will definitely give it! Although Liu is a clan and Liu Fujun has great ambitions, the main people under Liu Jingzhou, Nanjun are still the geniuses, including the academy and book compilation that Liu Jingzhou values ​​the most. The geniuses need to rely on. The Nanyang County family is the best among the geniuses in the world. If they directly make a request to Liu Fujun, from the perspective of Liu Fujun, they must agree. Moreover, it is natural for others to return their own things."

Li Zheng seemed to have grasped the key point of something.

He spoke tentatively: "What the sir said is that if the Liu Fujun returned the baggage to the Nanyang Prestige clan, he would be supported by the Nanyang County prestige clan to a certain extent. The great clan adviser who advised the Duijun would form friendship with the Nanyang County prestige clan through this incident, introduce various talents from the Nanyang County prestige clan under the command of Liu Fujun, and gradually began to weave connections and fishing nets under the command of the Duijun..."

Jia Xu said: "Yes, if you do this, Liu Fujun will continue to attract talents from all races. This is undoubtedly true. But at the same time, Liu Fujun's authority will gradually be divided by prominent families. The longer the time, the deeper the constraints..."

When Jia Xu said this, he didn't say anything else.

How did the Han Dynasty perish? It was in this kind of power intertwined operation that the central government's power was constantly diluted by those imperial clans, especially the talents of the court were almost all of these people. Liu's control over the counties became increasingly weaker as time passed, and it became the situation today.

The influence of aristocratic families is available in every dynasty, which is understandable. However, dynasties like the Eastern Han Dynasty with such weak centralization and the authority of aristocratic families can almost surpass the emperor's clan. It cannot be said that there are no, but there are too few.

Liu Qi is right now, not only to compete with the heroes in the world, but also to try whether they can unify the world... At the same time, after unifying the world, we must prevent our efforts from giving others their wedding dress.

Cao Cao is still very talented and wise in this regard.

When he was alive, he tried to suppress the proportion of the prominent clans occupying power among his forces. However, after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi made a compromise with the gentry family in the world because of his rush to ascend the throne.

The proportion of power of the prominent clan in the Great Wei reached a new peak with Cao Pi's ascension to the throne.

The final result was that the Cao family made a wedding dress for the Sima family among the prominent family, and their foundation was seized by him.

But with the power of the aristocrats in the Great Wei court at that time, even if there was no Sima family, there would be Siniu family, Siyang family, Silu family, etc....

Because Liu Qi knew the progress of history, he was not in a hurry to take into account the immediate interests, but instead walked forward step by step and slowly groped forward.

While he was fighting against foreign enemies, he also had to find ways to gradually control and reduce the proportion of the power of the aristocrats under his command.

Just like now, a famous family like Xun You has a completely different idea from him...

People like Xun You are both his planners, but also his hidden opponents.

This is a political struggle.

The war between princes is the bright line of the world, but the seizure of power between the central and local governments, imperial power and aristocratic families are the hidden lines of the trajectory of this world.

Li Zheng probably understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words. He stood up with emotion, bowed to Jia Xu, and said, "Mr. I understand what he said, but some things cannot be decided by Li alone. I should go back and report to the Duke... If the Duke thinks that the Duke is right, then everything will be easy to say."

Jia Xu nodded, looking very calm.

"In addition, Li Zhengshi can also report to the Duke Jun that I, Jia Xu, have some selfish intentions in doing this. This time, I made this plan to General Niu Zhonglang and General Zhang Zhonglang, is to show them the loyalty of Jia, so that he can feel more at ease with me. In this way, when he acts under the tent in the future, he can also trust him more... In addition, if the Duke Jun really snatched Yuan's baggage from the Xiliang army, it would not be conducive to the future strategy of raising enemies. Because the Nanyang County family will guess based on this battle, the Duke Jun will have enough troops to defeat the Xiliang army. If so, when they are searched by the Xiliang army in the future, once they ask for help but the Duke Jun will not save him, it may cause people to be suspicious of the Duke Jun, and it will be somewhat unbeautiful. Therefore, when you should give up, you should give up when you should show weakness, and when you should show weakness."

"It is really surprising that Jia Gong thought so thoughtfully... But before Li went back to report this to Liu Fujun, Li also wanted to ask Jia Gong about something."

"Speaking?"

"I wonder what Mr. Wenhe is from?"

Jia Xu smiled faintly and said seriously: "The Jia family of Wuwei was also a member of the Liangzhou Gate back then. It's a pity that he came to Jia, so he was honored in the past. When the emperor returned, he just needed to report the truth to the Duke. There was no need to cover up for Jia. My family was in the Duke's hands. What should you believe and what should you not believe? I believe that Liu's Duke has his own plans."

"Mr. Wenhe is a honest person."

...

After Li Zheng had a detailed talk with Jia Xu, he secretly returned to Liu Qi's place and reported to him Jia Xu's words.

After listening to Li Zheng's story, Liu Qi did not say anything for a long time and seriously thought about the reality and reality of Jia Xu's words.

Jia Xu's words are somewhat reasonable and somewhat false. Based on Liu Qi's understanding of Jia Xu, he does not think that what Jia Xu said to Li Zheng this time was completely his heartfelt words.

But Jia Xu said one thing very reasonably - that is, his whole family is in Xiangyang, so he also knows that his final destination must be in Jingzhou.

Since Jingzhou is his ultimate destination, he will definitely not turn this treasure land where he settles into a purgatory battlefield. Even if it is not for Liu Qi, he has to consider him, Jia Xu himself, right?

As for what he said about those prominent families...

Let’s not talk about anything else, but Xun You wants to be friendly with the Nanyang clan, there is some reason.

When Liu Qi was playing a series of games such as "The Three Kingdoms", he thought that recruiting military generals and counselors was the most comfortable point in the "The Three Kingdoms" game series. Seeing those famous historical celebrities with more than 90-plus military and intelligence all included in his pocket, the pleasure was really unpleasant.

But after staying in this world for several years, I realized that some things are not as simple as I think. I want to accept counselors and generals, but with more talents, it is actually a burden.

As a leader of a person, it is not just to simply recruit various talents to your own command to achieve great things. Instead, it depends on the origin and origin of these talents, and where they belong. Before you have enough abilities, you must avoid being greedy for too much and not being able to eat them.

The more talents there are, the more clans and forces they are behind, the more interest groups they represent under their command, and the more troubles there will be...

Sometimes it can even threaten the dominance of being a monarch.

"The Xun family in Yingchuan... seems that in history, they have not always been in the same mind as Cao Cao." Liu Qi looked at the top of the tent and began to mutter silently.

Li Zheng stood below, as if he had not heard what Liu Qi said clearly.

"Mr. Jia Xu said, what does Mr. Fu think?"

Liu Qi smiled slightly and said, "It's touching, touching, and profound. It's also a deep faith... Li Zhengshi, this time I've really worked hard for you, it's really hard."

Li Zheng hurriedly said, "This is the matter of his subordinates."

"Have Jia Xu explained to you, what should I do if the prominent tribes of Nanyang County send people to ask me for help in the future?"

Li Zheng took out a treasure bag from his arms and presented it to Liu Qi, saying, "Jia Xu's advice to the Lord of the House is all in this bag. His subordinates have never seen it, so they do not know what Jia Xu said."

Liu Qi took the gift bag, opened it and couldn't help but smile.

In the treasure bag, cloth was dipped into a bun of silk balls, and knots were tied back and forth, exactly the same as the letter Liu Qi gave to Jia Xu last time.

Liu Qi reached out and tore the outermost layer of the cloth, but saw that it said: "Please tear it."

Liu Qi took out the next layer of silk...

"Please keep tearing."

Another layer is taken apart,

"Please continue to tear it up, it's almost here."

After demolishing a few more floors, I finally saw the words Liu Qi wrote to Jia Xu last time, and Jia Xu returned them exactly the same.

"If the Lord of the House has finished reading this, it means that no one has touched this letter. The words in the letter come out of my mouth and come into my ears, and no third person knows it."
