Chapter 587
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru walked and talked, the approaching of Liangzhou gentry is certainly a good thing, but all the gifts in this world have already been secretly priced, it is easy to get on the gentry's boat, but it takes a lot of experience to get off the gentry's boat bloody.

Li Ru naturally understands this very well. Dong Zhuo is no longer in the state he was in when he first came to Liangzhou. He had nothing at that time. I'm not sensible anymore.

Many people confuse the scholar's choice of the lord with the scholar's choice of the warlord. In fact, these are two completely different things.

Scholars choose the lord is the embodiment of personal will.

And the gentry choose the lord, not because they are optimistic about who they invest in, but whoever comes to their territory, they will cooperate with whoever.

This kind of cooperation will end at any time. For example, Dong Zhuo is now the most powerful warlord in Liangzhou, so the Liangzhou gentry cooperates with Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo is defeated, then the Liangzhou gentry will not be loyal to Dong Zhuo. Their choice is 100. % is to cooperate with the next Liangzhou warlord.

Even if the warlords occupying the state cannot represent the interests of the local gentry, these local gentry will directly betray the generals.

Liu Yan in Ji Zhao's world was abandoned by the Yizhou gentry in this way, and the final surrender of the Kingdom of Shu was also the counterattack of the Yizhou gentry.

Because the Shuhan regime reused the Jingzhou faction, the Yizhou gentry could not benefit from the Shuhan regime, so they directly surrendered.

Maintaining the balance of the factions is an extremely important thing, and those who can do this well are heroes who have the power to compete for the world.

At present, almost all of Dong Zhuo's subordinates are Xiliang warriors. Once the Liangzhou gentry joins, they will quickly occupy the power of the entire Dong Zhuo force. When Dong Zhuo marches to the Kanto, it will not be conducive to wooing the Central Plains gentry.

The idea Li Ru came up with was to use the poor family to check and balance the strength of the Liangzhou gentry from now on. After entering the Central Plains, it would not be so easy for the Liangzhou gentry to stand up.

Moreover, Li Ru actually looked down on the Liangzhou gentry from the bottom of his heart, thinking that there were too few talents among these Liangzhou gentry.

Although the gentry in the Central Plains had bad conduct and were too arrogant, the talented people were far from what the gentry in Liangzhou could compare with.

Especially for the gentry in the counties of Nanyang, Hongnong, Yingchuan, and Runan that belonged to Sili around Luoyang, it is by no means a lie that a county is better than a state.

The only thing that can be compared with it is the Hebei gentry, but the Hebei gentry is even more arrogant than the Henan gentry, and even Luoyang is a bit despised.

Scholars in Hebei believed that Hebei was the richest place in the world, and that the population of Hebei was greater than that of other states, so the imperial capital should be located in Hebei.

This is actually the common goal of all the gentry in the world, which is to set the imperial capital in their hometown.

When Chang'an was the capital of the empire, how prominent the good families of the six counties were, and how prosperous the economy of Guanzhong was, they drew the blood of the world to supply Guanzhong.

Later, when Luoyang became the capital of the empire, the knights of Sanhe became the most trusted imperial army, and the prosperity of the land of Sanhe far surpassed that of Guanzhong.

If the imperial capital can be placed in Hebei, then the Hebei gentry will be the leaders of all the gentry in the world. In the future, the Hebei gentry will eat meat, and other gentry will only be able to gnaw their bones.

Li Ru could not allow this situation to appear in Dong Zhuo's regime, so he had to drag and beat the Liangzhou gentry.

"Activate the poor family?"

Dong Zhuo frowned slightly when he heard what Li Ru said, "Wen You, are there many people with extraordinary talents like you?
If it is a warrior, then it is nothing, but if it is a scholar, how can the children of the poor family compete with the children of the gentry?
Liangzhou is not Hebei, but without the Luo family granting talents, how can the poor family stand out? "

This is a very bloody fact.

Naturally, the number of geniuses among the poor families is far greater than that of the gentry, but the gentry has spent so much resources, compared with ordinary children of the poor family, it is indeed not a star and a half stronger.

With similar talents, how could a child from a poor family who worked part-time to study could be compared to a child from a noble family who studied hard and had extracurricular tutoring?

But Li Ru said calmly: "There is also a gap between poor families, does my lord know about the Wuwei Jia family?"

"Wuwei Jia?"

Dong Zhuo frowned slightly when he heard the words, he was a filial and honest official, and he was really not very proficient in Confucian classics, he only knew about these Confucian classics families, the top wealthy families in the world.

After all, not to mention a state, even a county, there are many gentry, and the range of gentry is too wide.

Dong Zhuo, a prominent gentry more than a hundred years ago and a warrior with little education, really doesn't know.

Li Ru was clear about Dong Zhuo's ignorance, and said directly: "The Jia family in Wuwei is a descendant of Prime Minister Jia Yi and Prime Minister Jia in the early Han Dynasty. , I don’t know how many prominent families have declined.

Although the Jia family in Wuwei is a poor family now, the inheritance of family education has not been left behind. This kind of family cannot be underestimated. As long as there is a chance, it can take off instantly.

Among the Jia family, there is a long-time friend of Youchen, whose name is Ziwenhe.

Although he was born in a poor family, he has a talent beyond the heavens. I am afraid that there are not many talents like him who have been around the world.

As the master's mastermind, it is really suitable.

In order to persuade him to help the lord, I made a lot of efforts, and now the situation in the Central Plains has finally moved him, and he has the idea of ​​​​entering the game.

He is willing to go out to help the lord for a while, if you can convince him, the lord, he is willing to join you. "

Dong Zhuo raised his brows when he heard this, this Jia Wenhe is really arrogant, even now he still wants to examine himself, instead of directly worshiping himself as the lord.

But Dong Zhuo was not angry, this is the characteristic of this era.

The ruler chooses the minister, and the minister chooses the ruler.

After all, after choosing a monarch, most people are not willing to betray. The last betrayal can be said. If there are too many betrayals, the reputation will be completely stink.

"Since Wen You admires Jia Wenhe so much, then I will meet him and see what kind of ability he has that can make Wen You admire him so much."

Li Ru still has a lot of face. As the veritable second in command of the Xiliang Group, Dong Zhuo will basically not refute his face.

After the two returned to Guzang, the county governor of Wuwei County, they asked Jia Wenhe to come to see him.

"Xu pays homage to Ming Gong, Ming Gong is healthy."

Jia Wenhe is a slightly fat middle-aged man, looking very inconspicuous, and even easily overlooked by others.

"Mr. Ankang, what can you do to teach me?"

Dong Zhuo asked loudly.

"Xiao has a few words, please listen quietly."
