From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 140 Zhicai Must Be Urgent
"Sending troops after the autumn harvest is in line with what I think, but the aristocratic family may not wait until after the autumn harvest to deal with it. Either they can't wait, or they don't want us to wait."

Xi Zhicai was about to ask a question, but Zhao Tai stopped him and continued to explain the reason to him.

Since Xi Zhicai has left the planning and planning to Xi Zhicai, he must have a more comprehensive understanding of Zhao Tai's current situation.

It should be known that as long as there is an omission, the original plan layout will be disrupted, even if it is a seemingly insignificant rumor.

On the issue of taking action against the aristocratic family, Zhao Tai first stated his intention to reform. Even Xi Zhicai felt that he could see clearly enough, but he was amazed after knowing the content of the reform and the scene it depicted.

This further confirms his foresight in coming to work and assisting Zhao Tai. He doesn't comment on whether he is crazy or not. What he considers is the prosperity that will be ushered in after the reform is successful.

But after talking about the content and purpose of the reform, Zhao Tai named two people, Tian Feng and Ju Shou, who Xi Zhicai didn't know or heard of.

"Before Zhicai came, these two people had already been to Changshan Zhending, and I also met them. The talents of these two people are not bad, but unfortunately they have already left after hearing about the reform of the official, so they cannot be used by me. It's a pity."

At that moment, Zhao Tai told the whole story of what happened after meeting the two of them.

Xi Zhicai also gave a wry smile after hearing this, and he would not comment on whether Zhao Tai's actions were right or not.

"My lord's ability to know people has already been taught by my subordinates. Since my lord said that his talents are outstanding, I may not be able to fake it, but the plan to send troops after the autumn remains unchanged. The family should not move lightly before the autumn harvest. As for Tian and Ju, they will Announce the matter of the reform to the public, as long as the Lord does not respond."

"As long as you don't respond, even if the people in the world are in an uproar and panic, it's okay to be prepared. At the beginning, the world's aristocratic families will believe it, and they will stop preparing. But after a long time, what do you think will happen?"

The method Xi Zhicai said can be summed up as procrastination, not an overly brilliant method.

But if something is delayed to a certain point, the original fear and panic will turn into another state, dragging it on without responding. Zhao Tai is familiar with this.

"If a matter spreads wildly, but the person concerned does not respond aloud, many speculations will arise out of thin air over time, from the initial conviction to the later suspicion, until it disappears into nothingness."

This is the set of public opinion in later generations, which is still a society with advanced information, and it may disappear faster in this ancient times.

"It's not just that, if the lord stands up and speaks out again when things are slowing down, saying that his son does not exist, it is actually someone who is sowing discord. Although this can put people in a disadvantageous situation, but the subordinates do not recommend the lord to do so, it will be detrimental to the lord's reputation. .”

When Xi Zhicai uttered these words, Zhao Tai wondered if he had been exposed to the knowledge of later generations, he couldn't be said to be similar, they were exactly the same.

"This is an anti-client strategy, but if the world will say that the lord is capricious when the lord takes action, and even so, it will not damage the people who preach it, and it will only help his name in the end."

He is well aware of the power of this set of remarks about the reform, which involves the interests of all aristocratic families, and even their lives.

It will not be limited to one city and one place, but will spread like a virus.

It's just that if Zhao Tai doesn't do anything for a day, others won't act rashly.

The reason why rumors are rumors is because there is no basis for facts, and the aristocratic family dare not do anything to Zhao Tai based on remarks without facts. If Zhao Tai is really forced to act according to the rumors, Zhao Tai will definitely not be the one who regrets the most.

It was only thanks to Xi Zhi that he could come up with this method, and he insisted on suppressing what he was going to do so that outsiders would not know whether it was true or false.

It’s a good one not to respond, isn’t that just confusing the public.

To be honest, Zhao Tai really wanted to do this, and he didn't care at all what the aristocratic family thought of him.

But what Xi Zhicai said was right, doing so would be bad for his reputation, and this refers to his image in the hearts of the people.

It is very important to have an upright image. He can imagine how strong the resistance will be in the places where he passes if he takes action against the aristocratic family and sends troops out of Changshan.

At that time, the aristocratic family will exaggerate Zhao Tai's capricious behavior infinitely, and the ignorant people will believe whatever they say, and it will be difficult for the people to distinguish the truth from the false.

Casualties in wars are unavoidable, but Zhao Tai does not want the family to make a fuss about his actions, strengthen the people's will to resist, and use the people as cannon fodder to achieve their goal of protecting their own interests.

If Zhao Tai has any shortcomings, it may be that he is too considerate of the people and always maintains a benevolent heart to the people. They are already suffering, and they should not pay more for Zhao Tai's political goals.

If even a few more people die now, it is to let the living and future generations live better.

Zhao Tai agrees with this point, he believes it can be done, but what can he say when he is dead.

Just like that sentence, justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

Justice that is delayed may be justice, but justice that has been absent for decades or even a lifetime may have a very different meaning to the victims themselves.

"Then according to Zhicai's words, if the official does not respond after the news spreads."

Xi Zhicai didn't think as much as Zhao Tai thought. He just considered the issue from Zhao Tai's perspective and his own interests as the starting point.

If you want to fight for the world, there are too many conditions that you need to meet to be king and emperor. Money, food, strong soldiers, and fame are all indispensable as long as they are positive.

Zhao Tai has all of these, which makes Xi Zhi feel at ease. This kind of talent is the most worthy of following and assisting.

"Before Zhicai's future, I have never felt so at ease. Now that Zhicai has made a military adviser for me, everything must be done according to Zhicai's plan. Chang Shan will hand it over to Zhicai as soon as he is dispatched. Tonight, I will Set up a banquet to clean up the dust for the aspiring talents."

Having a clear strategic goal is particularly important for Zhao Tai and any princes and monarchs. It is like a road. After the route is pointed out, you only need to walk on it.

The key depends on how to plan and whether it is feasible, and that has already been planned by Xi Zhicai.

With such a person by his side to assist him, he can better see the way ahead and respond more freely.

The purpose of accepting the wind and washing the dust is to welcome Xi Zhicai, and even to declare his status. This is what Zhao Tai must give him a platform. Whether he can convince the public in the future depends on Xi Zhicai.

Just like Tian Yu who was appointed by Zhao Tai as the county magistrate, he is still walking on this road.

"My subordinate thanked the lord."

This is a certain process, and Xi Zhicai is very aware of the deep meaning in it, so naturally he will not refuse.

What's more, he has never worried about whether he can convince the public. This is due to his confidence in his own ability.

If he wanted to be on the political stage, he would not dare to accept the post of military adviser without any confidence in his own abilities.

"I will arrange a house for the military division later. Feel free to ask if there is anything missing, but now the military division may want to know more about Changshan affairs. Since Zhicai is so urgent, of course we must arrange it immediately."

"Here are the documents that Chang Shan needs to review now. When the military advisor understood Chang Shan's affairs, he dealt with them as well. There is no need for the military advisor to refuse. I believe you."

"Come here, take the military division to the Gongcao Shi office. Remember that the military division has requests, and you must do everything you want."

You Kan actually came back a long time ago, but Zhao Tai and Xi Zhi were discussing things, and he was waiting at the door without coming in to disturb him.

Xi Zhicai was stunned, when did he want to learn more about Changshan affairs urgently?Why he doesn't know.

And what about the pile of documents? The documents made of paper are similar to the memorials after paper was widely used in the Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are at least thirty copies.

Before Xi Zhi could speak, You Kan brought someone in, he was familiar with the situation.

Eighty percent of the time, the protagonist wants to be lazy, and any capable person will let the other party do it.

Isn't that the case with Tian Juncheng? He said he was familiar with the affairs, but he was pushed to the position of a senior official when he came up.

It's also fortunate that he has real skills, otherwise let alone deal with it, it would be good not to be dealt with by his lord.

Thinking of the fact that he has real skills, You Kan felt that the protagonist might not be lazy, but was testing the other party?
As expected of the leader of the personal guards, there is no reason why he can think of a reason.

In short, it is absolutely unacceptable that Zhao Tai is doing this because of laziness. Well, at most, the two are half and half.

"My lord, this subordinate feels that this matter..."

"There is no delay, right. I already know the heart of ambition. As a military adviser, the first thing I think about is to share my worries. This officer is very pleased and works hard."

Xi Zhicai opened his mouth to speak, what he wanted to say was that he could take his time, he was not in a hurry.

Let him do this, he wants to help women who are living in poverty, and then drink and drink, that is happiness.

Of course, he had just arrived in Changshan and was not familiar with others, so he could only find You Chang. (non typo)
He definitely couldn't find a house prostitute. There were no brothels or brothels in this period, and there were only two types of brothels.

The first category is advocates who have nothing to do with the rich and powerful.

Sex with prostitutes came later. The earlier sex with prostitutes meant training during the Warring States period, and it wasn't something that people could understand after hearing it.

At this time, advocates were basically found in the homes of the rich and powerful, and special services could be provided if necessary. Of course, before this, they would dance, play, and sing to entertain guests, and you could choose if necessary.

The kind of existence that does not form a scale to create an open brothel, the private nature is called Youchang.

The word prostitute also evolved from advocacy later. Prostitutes were called prostitutes in the early days, and then changed into the word for female just like prostitutes. (I wrote a wrong chapter at the beginning because I was wrong)
So if you want to carry out that kind of activity, you have to communicate more with the powerful and build a good relationship.

Xi Zhicai saw that the fun was being deprived, so he could only agree honestly, and it was also an opportunity to build a good relationship with Zhao Tai's officials.

Isn't that the fun?
Zhao Taidao didn't know what Xi Zhicai had in mind, otherwise he would have to look at him with admiration.

But this fun, I am afraid that Zhao Tai will let him down.

This kind of corrupt atmosphere and the phenomenon of corrupting society and officials must be curbed, and Zhao Tai is very clear about its harmfulness.

　In addition, Xi Zhicai has very few records, and Lao Tuo can freely define him as a civilian.

　　As for the style of conduct, there is no scribbling, it is recorded.

　　"Yu Farewell Biography" commented that Xi Zhicai was "ridiculous and unconventional", and behaved similarly to Guo Jia in a dissolute and informal manner.Although Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia are evaluated as being contrary to the secular world, this situation is not uncommon in a social context where social unrest and Confucianism are under attack.
