Great Wei Nengchen

It is said that the weasel gave the chicken New Year's greetings--no kindness, a few nobles came to visit a poor boy from a poor family, and there were generous gifts, so naturally they didn't have any kindness. To be precise, they were very kind.

It turns out that since Liu Bei led his army into Sichuan, he occupied Jiangzhou City, commanded Brazil County, and tried to win people's hearts everywhere. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is to occupy the magpie's nest!

There is no room for two tigers on one mountain, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei must have a fight, and the most stupid person, thinking with his little toes, knows that the former will undoubtedly lose, and the latter will become the new Sichuan Lord!

In order to please the new master, the officials of the gentry prepared generous gifts and waited respectfully in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion, ready to flirt with each other. As a result, several days passed, and none of them was received alone!

On the contrary, Nie Peng, who came from a poor family, with a sand table model, was not only received by Liu Bei, sat down to drink, but also gave him a heavy responsibility to assist in handling Berkshire's affairs. Everyone can see the scenery when he goes out!

Since you can't hug Liu Bei's thigh, it's not bad to hug Nie Peng's thigh. Therefore, the officials of the gentry discussed it and sent a few representatives to find Nie Peng's residence. That's why I came to the door after dark!

They didn't really make friends, but they wanted to use Nie Peng as a channel to try Liu Bei's tone. What method were they going to use to become the new master of Bashu, soft means, or force means?

After Liu Bei became the lord of Bashu, how would he treat the gentry? Should they be reused to divide more interests, or should they be suppressed and promoted to the poor?

These must be inquired clearly before the gentry officials can decide whether to support Liu Bei's entry into Chengdu, continue to protect Liu Zhang, or test Cao Ying's attitude?

In a word, whoever gives them more benefits, they will sell Bashu to whom!

Chapter 1517 The careful thoughts of the Bashu nobility!

"Uncle Liu Huang can be called a master of enlightenment, and there are many talents under his command. For example, Kong Ming and Pang Tong are famous scholars in Jingxiang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are heroes of Yanzhao. They can all make good use of their talents. Why worry about big things not being accomplished?

However, Uncle Liu described it as a little haggard. It is not surprising that he was worried about the war in the north. Hundreds of thousands of Cao troops came here. If he wanted to keep the land of Bashu, he had to fight a big battle!

This requires conscription, food collection, tax collection, carriages, ships... This matter has been handed over to the lower officials. You are all prominent families in Berkshire, and you still need to help. Woolen cloth?

Fortunately, Master Zhou Mu will arrive in Jiangzhou in two days. At that time, the two armies will join together, and their strength will double accordingly. There are also two generals, Zhang and Zhao. Get ready! "

………………

Nie Peng's eloquence is good, and he described the process of meeting Liu Bei in detail, and there are a lot of praises, but after careful consideration, he revealed other information.

Berkshire's official booklet introduced Nie Peng's background and academic school in detail, but one thing was overlooked, that is, Nie Peng also took a course of "psychology" in addition to studying Confucianism, Law, and Yin and Yang. For excellent!

Psychology is divided into two categories: one is to try to figure out other people's minds, predict the situation, and then seize the opportunity, which is suitable for flattering superiors or dealing with enemies!

The second is to form psychological hints to others through some body movements and words, and then associate with something, which is most suitable for killing people with a knife.

"That's right, Uncle Liu Huang is thirsty for talent, but he is a rare enlightened master!"

"Master Zhou Mu is coming soon, the reception must be done well, the meeting between brothers of the same clan will definitely be extremely 'intense'!"

Those who were sent to inquire about the news were naturally sensitive people. Several noble officials collided with each other, savored the conversation carefully, and quickly made up some important information:

First, the talents around Liu Bei include not only the children of noble families like Kong Ming and Pang Tong, but also those from poor families like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

It also shows that Liu Bei has no obvious political inclinations, no matter whether it is a noble family or a poor family, whoever can help him achieve hegemony, he will reuse it.

Second, if Liu Bei wants to fight against Cao Jun, he needs a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and these strategic resources are all in the hands of the Bashu gentry!

In other words, the Bashu gentry can bargain with Liu Bei on this condition, forcing him to lean towards the gentry and distribute more benefits to the gentry. At the critical moment of life and death, he would not refuse, right?

Otherwise, if the Bashu gentry join hands, Liu Bei's [-] army will never get a stone of corn or a load of fodder, and they will not be able to transport it if they get it, unless they plunder it, which will be very disappointing!

Third, in a few days, Liu Zhang will come to Jiangzhou to meet the League, accompanied by [-] armored troops, and Yongchuan and Jiangjin are located in the southwest of Jiangzhou, and they must pass through the mountains and rivers, and the terrain is dangerous!

In such a sensitive period, Liu Bei's generals asked about the two terrains, should they ambush soldiers and horses and attack midway, or cut off the retreat and catch the turtle in a urn?

Unexpectedly, Uncle Liu Huang, who is known as benevolent and righteous, would have such cruel methods. They should be more careful, don't catch fire at the city gate and bring disaster to the fish in the pond, and become Liu Zhang's funeral objects!

"The next time I see Uncle Liu Huang, please tell me that the children of Bashu gentry are willing to help Uncle Liu repel Cao Jun and protect the country and the people!

I only hope that Uncle Liu Huang will rejuvenate the great man and create another "Jianwu Prosperous Age". We will wait for the scholars from Bashu to assist the prime minister, and we will not let Deng Yu, Ma Yuan and others focus on the beauty! "

………………

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely convey it--haha!"

Now that they have figured out Liu Bei's cards, the Bashu gentry will naturally ask for a price, but what they said is more subtle, instead of using words such as benefits, official positions, and power, they mentioned the prosperous age of Jianwu!

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne, the world was in chaos, and there were so many rebels... Liu Xiu, a clan member of the Han family born in Nanyang County, wiped out all the heroes from all walks of life in just 12 years and established the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the course of the Northern War, there were 28 generals who made outstanding achievements, and they were called "Yuntai 28 generals!" '

And these 28 generals, in a sense, are the founders of the Eastern Han gentry clan group. Deng Yu and Ma Yuan are even more outstanding. There have been several queens!

These families also united and gradually monopolized the official career, and became the three pillars of the Eastern Han Empire together with the foreign relatives group and the eunuch group!

This is to tell Liu Bei that the Bashu gentry can support him, and once again rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, ask for food for food, money for money, and people for people. In short, go all out!

However, after the event is completed, they will be the new dynasty, the new Yuntai 28 generals, their descendants will be officials for generations, and monopolize the official career. This is also the dream of the Bashu gentry for many years.

This hint is more complicated, but with Liu Bei's political wisdom, he can definitely understand it. If he agrees, he will definitely express something in the near future:

For example, entertain the elites of the Bashu gentry, select talents from among them, integrate into the original Jingzhou Group, and entrust them with important tasks and bestow great benefits!

Then choose one, or several, women from the Bashu gentry as wives and concubines. With this marriage relationship, the alliance between the two parties will be more consolidated, and the important ministers of the Liu Bei Group, it is best to marry with the Bashu gentry to completely become a concubine. family!

On the contrary, if Liu Bei does not act in good faith in the near future, it means that he has rejected these requests, and the Bashu gentry will have to find another "Master"!

"Stay! - Please stay!"

"Walk slowly, help you get into the car, be careful of dark roads, come often when you are free-hehe!"

…………

After talking about the time of the second watch, several officials of the gentry took their leave and left. Nie Peng sent him to the gate in person, smiling all over his face and speaking condescendingly!

At the time of parting, several gentry officials also promised that as long as Nie Peng did his best to help them do this matter well, there would be rich rewards. In addition to mansions, cars and horses, gold and silver, he could also marry someone A gentry woman from a concubine is his wife!

In the eyes of these gentry, a poor boy like Nie Peng is like a dog that has been hungry for many years. As long as you throw it a small piece of meat and bone, it will obediently wag its tail and obey.

Nie Peng was naturally 'overjoyed', saying that he would divorce the yellow-faced woman at home as soon as possible, and wait to marry a noble daughter from a noble family, and become a member of the great and glorious Bashu noble family group!

....................................

"Nie Yi, Nie Er, don't count the gifts, close the door quickly, boil water, I want to take a good bath, put more saponins and well salt, there are too many dirty things on my body, this disgusting old man wants to vomit!"

"promise!"

After the guests left, Nie Peng spat a few mouthfuls of saliva, and ordered two attendants to boil water to take a bath. After washing for more than an hour, he rubbed off two layers of skin, and then crawled out of the tub.

Then he went back to the dormitory, closed the doors and windows tightly, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter from home by the bright light.

"My wife learned from my own experience: I have been away from home for more than a month, and the willows on the branches are gradually turning yellow, but the feeling of longing has not diminished. Every day I climb up and look north, but I don't feel that my eyes are piercing. I don't see you for a day, like the words of three autumns. Its true meaning also!

………………

I hope my wife will take care of her health, take care of her uncle and aunt, and take care of her younger brother and younger sister. Everything in Jiangzhou is cumbersome, and it will be difficult for her husband to return in a short period of time. The only thing I can do is send a letter to comfort my attachment.
