Chapter 2 Careers
Ten days later, Zhou Yu captured Li Shu and reorganized his army for about 30,000. Sun Fu was also dismissed and imprisoned. The situation was generally stabilized by Sun Quan. Sun Quan began to consider solving the Shanyue problem and future development paths. The prerequisite for solving these problems was to recruit talents. At this time, to stabilize Jiangdong and completely control Jiangdong, we must appease all the inherent gentry tribes of Jiangdong and the gentry migrated from the north, select talents from among them and reuse them, and appease the major families. Then we can slowly establish our own team and prestige, and then transform this society according to our own ideas.
Zhuge Jin, Lu Su, Yan Yan, Bu Zhi, Lu Xun, Xu Sheng, Gu Yong, Gu Shao and others were recruited to stabilize the hearts of the gentry. However, knowledge from the future knew that the gentry was actually the enemy of the emperor. They were powerful, hiding population and gathering wealth were the root of national turmoil. However, what he was facing was that all the knowledgeable and capable ministers were from the gentry, and the four major families of Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang were strong. Now he was also afraid of weapons and had to find a different approach to make his strength stronger than he could completely smash the gentry, the behemoth.
Sun Quan’s plan: The first step is to build some of his confidants and establish commercial institutions to accumulate wealth; the second step is to establish some schools and martial arts halls in the name of adopting the orphans of martyrs, train their own personal troops, and cultivate the talents they need; the third step is to conquer the six counties in Jiangdong, especially Shanyue and Jiaozhou, and Taiwan. After conquest, some new policies similar to those of later generations will be introduced to allow him to sprout and grow slowly. As for the specific new policies, they still need to be planned with contemporary wise men, and they cannot be copied; the fourth step is to complete the reform of the entire Jiangdong before the Battle of Chibi and completely control Jiangdong; the fifth step is to conquer the world and unify the Han Dynasty.
As for the confidants, the first thing they think of was their playmates and classmates since childhood, and then their followers. But I am not a historian who studies the Three Kingdoms. I know that two classmates seem to have some abilities, but according to memory, they are all considered gentry members, but fortunately they are all small gentry members, so they should be easier to control. As for the people around me, Sun Quan didn't quite understand. The body itself did not have much memory, and these were all for errands and chores for him. I never thought about how much ability they could have, just be loyal. These people are all slaves of the Sun family or close family members. There is definitely no problem with loyalty, but the problem is that they are all loyal to the Sun family, not simply for Sun Quan himself. However, it is not difficult for these people to get their loyalty.
On the grounds that he was young and had just taken power, Sun Quan gave government affairs to Zhang Zhao, his teacher, and Zhou Yu, the Central Guard. In addition to personnel changes and other matters, he became a hand-off manager. On the one hand, he reflected his trust and attention to Zhang Zhou, and took advantage of their prestige and ability to stabilize Jiangdong. On the other hand, he had to have a lot of free time to do his own things, and claimed to be studying to the outside world. In fact, he organized the followers and guards around him for training and military training. The training was mainly based on the nature of the work of the political commissar of the Celestial Dynasty and the pyramid scheme, so that everyone was firmly loyal to themselves and learned how to encourage more people to be loyal to him. Of course, shouting slogans and brushing slogans are essential. Fortunately, the followers around him are basically literate, which saves a lot of trouble.
"I, Sun Quan, as your lord, follow me and be loyal to me, and then I will give you the power and wealth you deserve."
"I, Sun Quan, is the lord of Jiangdong, that is, the master of Jiangdong land. I want to lead everyone to end this troubled times so that our descendants can live in a peaceful country."
"I, Sun Quan, will lead you to achieve success and keep your name in history. Although you are civilians and even family slaves, as long as you are loyal to Sun Quan, I will give you supreme status so that everyone can be in charge of the government like the gentry, so that you and your descendants can study and practice martial arts, and pass on poetry and books to the family."
...
Sun Quan set up a secret base in the Sun family's villa to train these people, and wrote all his speeches and ideas into vernacular so that everyone could memorize them and write them out as the seeds of his future propaganda and ideological work.
At the same time, the selected guards also began to train according to the military training methods in Sun Quan's memory. From "one, two, one" to "internal affairs" and on duty, from physical training to discipline, from team organization to military rank, etc., these people's daily arrangements are half of military training and half of ideological learning.
Sun Quan's classmates Zhu Ran and Hu Zong were also summoned to Wujun. Zhu Ran's name was Yifeng, and he was very knowledgeable in military and martial arts. Hu Zong's name was Weize, and he wrote a good article. Sun Quan set up a private banquet to invite the two to drink.
"Yifeng, Weize, come, two of you come from afar, Zhongmou respects you two, do it!"
"Master, do it"
"Master, do it"
"You are both classmates and friends of Zhongmou, and I know your abilities well. This time I asked you to come to Wujun, hoping that you can work with Zhongmou to support the Han Dynasty and save the people from water and fire." Sun Quan talked about his ideals while urging him to drink.
"Lord, you are in charge of Jiangdong. Now you have to rely on the power of the old ministers. We are young, and we may not be able to take on great responsibilities with our abilities now." Zhu Ran naturally wanted to make achievements with Sun Quan, but he was afraid that we would not do well.
"Yifeng, you are about the same age as me, and there is nothing to be modest. Besides, I will not arrange for you and Wei Ze to enter the Jiangdong pattern directly. You are my confidants and trusted people. Now I need you to help me train and select people and cultivate a group of people who are loyal to me and obey me only."
"Lord, you can train troops and cultivate your confidants for the lord. I just know some articles. What can I do for you?" Hu Zong asked.
"Wei Ze, you also have an important task. If I control Jiangdong and even build a kingly and domineering career in the future, I naturally need my own confidant army and my confidant people to control the world's regime. The county and county chiefs at all levels are basically from big families such as Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang. They are corrupt and incompetent, and the interests of the family are the first priority in their hearts. I want you to select young people from the common people, cultivate them to learn literature, learn to govern the local area, and also understand propaganda and education."
"What is publicity?" Hu Zong felt unfamiliar with the word.
"Haha, Weize, this propaganda is to let everyone know and support us. Yifeng, I know you are from the Zhu family, but first I will not destroy the gentry, but just let the gentry give up some interests. Second, you follow my Sun Zhongmou, as long as the hegemony of the world is realized, it is unknown if your Zhu family expands ten times and a hundred times."
"Lord, Yi Feng is loyal to the lord. Although Yi Feng is a member of the Zhu family, he was first a subordinate of the lord from then on." Zhu Ran heard Sun Quan's ambition and was already excited.
First, Zhu Ran and Hu Zong were arranged to go to the villa and go through Sun Quan's own brainwashing education and military training with everyone. At the same time, Hu Zong arranged to organize his thoughts and daily speeches into articles. Of course, it must be in vernacular language to facilitate those who are illiterate to learn. The fonts are all Sun-style regular script created by Sun Quan. Three months later, the brainwashing of this group of people was basically successful. Everyone's head was full of supreme admiration and loyalty to Sun Quan. When they met, they said hello: "Swear to be loyal to our Lord Sun Quan when he died!"
Then, Sun Quan chose a few boys from the Sun shop in the past. Because he grew up in a shop, he was smart and trained privately, and gave them some modern business plans. Then he asked them to build their own business foundation for themselves, and asked them to improve their papermaking skills, give them some vague knowledge to them, and let them do it themselves, and they don’t care about anything else. In addition, they asked them to go to the Western Regions to get cotton seeds and to Southeast Asia to get high-yield rice seeds. These things are,
Those counselors and wise men who chose cannot do it, and now business is a cheap business. Of course, the brothels, restaurants and other shops opened by these people use some modern marketing methods to make money. As soon as the brothel design was in the door, a beautiful woman shouted: "Welcome!" and did the best service, plus the comprehensive ** of drinking and gambling, many rich second-generations of Jiangdong were deeply involved in it, giving a lot of money to Sun Quan. Of course, it is not only a way to make money, but also a source of information.
In the name of raising the orphans of martyrs, he recruited orphans and young people from poor families in Jiangdong. He was managed by Zhu Ran and Hu Zong, named Jiangdong Martial Arts Hall. Zhu Ran was responsible for military training, and Hu Zong was responsible for cultural education and ideological education, the cultivation of propaganda talents, and the cultivation of local government talents. The cultivation of local government talents and propaganda talents did not come out alone. It was mainly to conceal several major families in Jiangdong and train some personal soldiers themselves. They would not care if they received information, but if they learned that they had cultivated government talents, they would rebel.
The people Sun Quan trained themselves may not have too many strategic visions, but Sun Quan himself has the foresight to travel through time, and this vision is not the most important. Therefore, the people he trained themselves should do as they follow their own ideas, and then Jiangdong's country is rich and the people are strong, and with absolute strength to crush their opponents, they can unify the world.
However, the people who were recruiting talents must now be arranged to appease, and Sun Quan did not want to destroy the gentry. He just wanted the gentry to hand over political and military power and turn them into great merchants and capitalists in later generations. Therefore, those who are loyal to him must win over and use them, and talents cannot be wasted. Especially Lu Su is a well-known master in history, and although Zhuge Jin is not as good as Zhuge Liang, he is a master of Pingshanyue. Therefore, Sun Quan wanted to regain these two people, let them conquer Shanyue for him, expand territory, and implement the new policy he had planned.
"Zijing, Ziyu, both of them are of great talent. Zhongmou will receive help from both of them today, and his great achievements will be accomplished in the future." After Lu Su and Zhuge Jin came, Sun Quan called the two of them over to the banquet and welcomed them warmly.
"Now today, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north are competing for power, and our Jiangdong and Jingzhou are in Jiangnan. In addition, Yizhou, Xiliang, Jiaozhou and other places are divided. The world is chaotic, wars are constantly coming, and life is tragic, which consumes the strength of our Chinese nation. Once the barbarians invade outside the territory in the future, what will our Chinese land resist? So we must end this troubled world early and preserve our Chinese strength. Although the various ethnic groups on the northern grasslands are not yet invading the Central Plains, if we continue to invade the Central Plains, one day, these barbarians will invade the Central Plains sooner or later. The disaster of the Huns in the early Han Dynasty may repeat itself." Sun Quan was very moved by the times.
