The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 143 Zhuge Liang: Young people don't talk about martial ethics

Zhuge Liang admitted that he was a little tempted.

At this time, he watched Zhang Xiu quietly with his eyes, and was also a little curious about what Zhang Xiu would do, because this road was almost a dead end, and he didn't think it was feasible.

"Although this method is good, it is impossible to rush for quick success and instant benefits. It can only be done slowly. Nowadays, taxes are owed in various parts of Jingzhou, and there are many deficits. There are countless slaves kept by aristocratic families to avoid taxes."

"My idea is to first rectify tax evasion and tax avoidance, strictly enforce the law, and severely punish them. When the time is right, then introduce this law with thunderous means, so as to curb mergers."

Zhang Xiu looked solemn and asked slightly.

He just knew this method, and he also knew the advantages and disadvantages of this method, but whether it could be implemented in the late Han Dynasty, Zhang Xiu could only deduce it by himself.

"General, are you sure you want to do this?" Zhuge Liang was a little curious. The reform did more harm than good. If Zhang Xiu was not careful, Zhang Xiu would be doomed forever.

"Naturally," Zhang Xiu didn't hesitate.

He knew that the entire Han Dynasty relied on powerful families to conquer the world, and it had always been like this. If he changed rashly, no one would know whether he was happy or worried.

Zhuge Liang laughed softly, and said loudly: "Yuan Shao from Jizhou is the head of the family, and his tigers occupy Hebei, and he has ruled countless families. He puts it to good use, but millet and grain pile up into mountains, and there are countless elite soldiers and strong generals under his command."

"A few years ago, Cao Cao in Yanzhou occupied the Central Plains and killed many family members, but he was rebelled. All parts of Yanzhou responded, and only three counties remained to support him."

"Since then, he has always been cautious about the internal clan, focusing on being gentle."

"As for Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, at the beginning of his power, he connected Youji in the north and Qingzhou in the east, which is comparable to Yuan Shao. However, he killed Liu Yu and murdered literati, and has since declined. Now he is trapped in Yijing and is a dead bone in the tomb."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Xiu, and asked with a smile: "The general should know the pros and cons, so the general is willing to call for it?"

"Hehe," Zhang Xiu laughed heartily, and shouted with deep sword eyebrows: "If you conform to the times, what if you rule this troubled world? After a hundred years, there will be chaos again. What's the use of such a dynasty?"

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, a little surprised. He really underestimated Zhang Xiu's ambition. After all, these clear examples are right in front of him, and there is a high probability of repeating the same mistakes.

"Han people should stand up, not damage and internal friction."

"What's more, the wolves of the foreign races in the frontier are ambitious. If things go on like this, the foreign races will take advantage of the emptiness to march into the Han land, enslave the Han people, and bully our big Chinese people."

"This scene is not what I want." Zhang Xiu's voice was stern, and he said immediately: "Xiu begs Kong Ming to come out and help."

Zhang Xiu knew that after a hundred years, China would be chaotic, China would sink, tens of millions of people in the north would be reduced to slaves, and the people of the dignified man would be reduced to two-legged sheep, how tragic.

Zhuge Liang was surprised again, and looked up and down Zhang Xiu, as if this guy's thinking was a bit ahead of his time, which made him a little bit impressed.

"I said you, my lord is such a virtuous corporal, don't you know what's good or bad, believe it or not, I'm going to tie you up right now?"

Seeing Zhuge Liang's hesitation, Hu Che'er couldn't help shouting angrily, and at the same time took off a bundle of ropes from his waist, as if you dare to give it a try.

"Ah!" Zhuge Liang twitched.

Hu Che'er's desire to tie him was not the point, but Zhang Xiu didn't stop him, and it seemed that Zhang Xiu had asked him to carry Hu Che'er's rope.

"Hu'er is reckless, don't blame Kong Ming, but I don't know what Kong Ming is thinking, would you like to help?" Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice, with a slightly urgent expression.

"General, I'm afraid it's difficult for Kong Ming to have little knowledge." Zhuge Liang already had the answer in his heart, but he wanted to pretend to be reserved, so he said
But before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes, raised his hand to interrupt, turned around and said, "Hu'er, Kong Ming is tired, help me tie him up and go down the mountain."

Zhuge Liang: "???"

Zhuge Liang was stunned, why is this young man so impetuous?Can't you worship three times and ask three times?Tied up at every turn, no mercy at all.

But before he could speak, Hu Che'er grinned, rubbed his big black paw, and looked at Zhuge Liang with a changed look.

Stride forward, not tied anymore,
Hold Zhuge Liang directly on his shoulders.

The rough black claws patted Zhuge Liang's buttocks, and he couldn't help pinching it a few more times, tsk tsk, it's good to be young, the flesh is quite soft.

"???"

Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded, he actually robbed the women of the people in broad daylight, bah, robbed the men of the people?
Especially with Hu Che'er's dark and smiling expression, Zhuge Liang really panicked. Seeing Zhang Xiu's familiarity with the car, he probably did this a lot.

"Thanks to the general for not giving up, Liang is willing to use what he has learned in his life to help the Lord rule the world in a fair and chaotic way." Zhuge Liang quickly let go of his restraint and shouted anxiously.

When Zhang Xiu heard it, he showed joy.

It can be regarded as done, but I just need to touch it.

Next time it seems that I have to bring Hu Che'er to touch a few more.

"Quick, put Kong Ming down quickly."

"I got Kong Ming's help, just like the great ancestor got Xiao He. It's really the luck of Jingzhou and the world." After Zhuge Liang put it down, Zhang Xiu grabbed his arm and said.

"The lord is too famous. Xiao He helped Gaozu build the Great Han Dynasty. The Guozuo has lasted for nearly 400 years. His achievements are so great that he is so bright. How dare he compare with him."

Zhuge Liang said humbly.

"That's right, you're quite self-aware." On the side, Hu Che'er felt the remaining warmth on his palm, and said with a twitch.

Zhuge Liang's face trembled and he collapsed.

Glancing at Zhuge Liang, Zhang Xiu's face turned dark, and he slapped Hu Che'er hard, signaling to stay where it's cool, because he got into the car after all, and you're running away.

"Kong Ming, it's about the current situation. Do you have any insights to teach me?" Zhang Xiu looked at Zhuge Liang with some expectation in his eyes.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled wryly, and said: "Master, the current situation in Jingzhou would like Yuan Zhi and others to talk about it, so Liang will not say more."

"However, since the lord wants to suppress the merger, the first thing we need to do is unite the family and use our strength to fight. Otherwise, the lord will be hard to suppress if the family is united."

"Well," Zhang Xiu nodded, and it was only natural that Zhuge Liang didn't give a shocking countermeasure, after all, one moment and another moment.

Not to mention the changes in Zhuge Liang's own talents, he alone is incomparable with Liu Bei's air force, and some strategic policies Jia Xu and Xu Shu have already said.

"Among the seven clans, the Pang family is the least one who asks about world affairs, as long as the lord is ready. For the other six families, the lord needs at least the support of three families."

"At that time, my lord's strict laws to rectify tax evasion can target the other three small families, watch their movements, and seize the opportunity to wait for the right time."

Zhuge Liang explained in a deep voice.

Zhang Xiu nodded, and immediately said: "When you return to Xiangyang, I will make you, Kong Ming, the gold cao of your sect, responsible for controlling Xiangyang's tax revenue, the government's inventory of silver, and handling tax matters."

Zhuge Liang's eyes revealed a look of astonishment. Usually, the most trusted person is in charge of managing finances. It was really unexpected for Zhang Xiu to let him take up this position.

"Okay, Kong Ming, pack up and go back to Xiangyang with me." Zhang Xiu said with a gentle smile.

"Hehe, why do you need to clean up, let's start now." Zhuge Liang smiled heartily, turned his head and said: "Little boy, you stay here and stay in the thatched cottage, waiting for my return."
