Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

"Ming Gong is really an unparalleled talent, and he is not inferior to the Prime Minister." Li Mu carefully considered Ma Di's plan and had to admit that it was indeed very effective.

First, the aristocratic family was executed, so that the government could maximize the manpower of Longxi County. A large number of hidden households and land appeared, allowing the government to collect sufficient taxes and at the same time, a large number of manpower was required to do corvee work.

Afterwards, troops were mobilized to attack the Qiang people who were causing rebellion in Longyou, and they were uprooted and moved to the jurisdiction of the government. In this way, while greatly increasing the manpower of the imperial court, it can also expand the strength of the Shu army.

The last step is to use the manpower and resources available to build water conservancy facilities and find ways to revitalize the land in Longxi.

From military to economic to political, Ma Su carried out a comprehensive reform. Basically, every step was dancing on the tip of a knife, and Ma Su rushed to the front every time. If he was not careful, Ma Su would die inside.

I have to say that this wise man was so courageous that he risked his life for the sake of the imperial court.

"Ming Gong worked really hard to revive the Han Dynasty. But you'd better pay attention to your own safety next time, at least don't take such risks as this time."

Li Mu sighed, shook his head gently and persuaded seriously.

"Everything you are doing now will no longer be done if you die. Even the Prime Minister is the same. The core of everyone is the Northern Expedition and not this. If you die in Longxi, all these affairs will be shelved."

"So please respect yourself, sir. Sometimes ensuring your own safety is the most important thing."

"Ziwen, what you said is very out of context. If I start to fear life and death and put my own safety first, then can I continue to do these things?" Ma Su shook his head and walked to the city with his hands behind his back. He looked up to the sky and said calmly.

"Think about the things I've done in the past. If I didn't go out and fight for my life, would anyone dare to take my place? Could I be greedy for life and pursue death?"

"What I do is accompanying death, fighting for the sake of the world and the country. If we ourselves are afraid of death, how can we ask others to die on our behalf?"

"The road we are taking is too difficult and dangerous, and too many people have died. But because of this, we need to do it. There is no need to be afraid even if we die."

At this moment, Ma Su's figure once again rose to a higher level in Li Mu's heart. What he said, thought, and did was almost exactly the same as the gentleman praised by Li Mu when he read the scriptures.

A gentleman is likened to righteousness, and a villain is likened to profit.

This is the Confucianism admired by the Han Dynasty, which dares to risk the disapproval of the world.

"What's more, who said I have no inheritance." Ma Di suddenly turned around and looked at Li Mu Dao with a smile.

"Aren't you a friend of Su? If I, Ma Su, die in the grass one day, Ziwen can take over my responsibility and move on."

"We are not afraid of death. With one death we can save the world, right?"

"Yes!" Li Mu looked solemn and bowed solemnly.

"Ming Gong is not afraid of death, so why should I, Li Mu, cherish this life?"

"Very good, that's what's right." Ma Su nodded with satisfaction, and after some words, he finally won this man from a noble family to his side.

This was not easy for Ma Su. What he did was intolerable to nobles with family backgrounds. Even the Dongzhou faction and the Jingzhou faction may only get involved if it is profitable.

Ma Su didn't want that after his death, the land equalization law would become a weapon in party struggles, which would only cause a greater blow to the already small number of homesteaders.

Now, he has not just traveled through time, and he still doesn't want to be too sorry for the people of this era.

Therefore, it is best to leave an heir to his ideas. Even if he dies that day, at least there will be someone who can inherit and continue to implement it.

Again, the advancement of history cannot be achieved by relying on just one or two people, but that doesn’t mean it can be ruined. As long as one person starts, one day it will evolve into countless people who will continue to push the carriage of history in the right direction.

"By the way, Ming Gong, the assassin has been recruited." At this time, Li Mu suddenly straightened up and said to Ma Su.

"The punishments you gave are too cruel. We just chose confinement. After half a month of confinement, the assassin finally couldn't bear the full punishment anymore."

"Assassin? I bet you still keep her?" Ma Su was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he remembered the abstract assassin who assassinated him before.

Good guy, I, the rightful owner, have almost forgotten that she only recruited her after all the aristocratic families were exterminated for so long.

Isn't it a bit late?

"There was nothing we could do. We still had doubts about some parts, so we continued to torture her to extract confessions. Fortunately, we finally figured it out." Li Mu spread his hands. Ma Su didn't express his position and they didn't dare to kill her, so they could only continue to torture her.

Fortunately, Ma Su's punishment was surprisingly effective. After being imprisoned in the dark room for half a month, the female assassin was so suffocated that she even shook out how many things she had stolen when she was a child.

"As expected by Ming Gong, she is a dead warrior trained by the Xianling Qiang people. She is Han but was raised by Qiang people." Li Mu explained to Ma Su.

"He came to assassinate you on the orders of the dead Qiang leader Dan Muji. But the order was not to kill you, but to die in front of you so that you could blame the family."

"It is said that Dan Muji was afraid that you would die, and the people from the aristocratic family immediately refused to admit it, so they just wanted to sow discord between us and the aristocratic family."

"When we are both defeated in the fight with the Longxi Family, he will open the city gate and occupy Didao County with the help of the Longxi Family."

"So that's it. I have to say that this group of Qiang people have begun to learn the wisdom of our big men." Ma Su frowned slightly, feeling a little more threatened for a moment.

The Qiang in Longyou have always appeared as barbarians, and their characteristic is that they are not smart and like to kill.

But judging from Dan Muji's intention to assassinate and the performance of Dong Qiang leader Shu Ji, the Qiang people are no longer as innocent as before. They are also learning the techniques and strategies of the Han people, and making up for their own shortcomings through learning.

Learn from the Han people and develop skills to control the Han people?

Maybe this is also one of the reasons why Wuhu will mess with China in the future?

Thinking of this, Ma Su couldn't sit still, because the Qiang people in Longyou were far from being purged. Only the two Qiang tribes located in Longxi County were exterminated and incorporated, and there are still many Qiang people entrenched in Longyou.

If they unite with Cao Wei and learn how to unite vertically and horizontally, it will have a big impact on the Shu army's Northern Expedition in the future.

"Execute the assassin as soon as possible and give him a good time."

"But these Qiang people are progressing really fast. If I hadn't acted quickly, the Xianling Qiang people might have become a serious problem." Ma Su's expression suddenly became serious and he thought for a while.

"No, the Qiang and Hu must be suppressed as soon as possible..."

Before Ma Su could finish speaking, Li Mu had already rushed forward and grabbed Ma Su tightly.

"Unless someone dies! Otherwise, Duke Ming will never think of suppressing the Qiang himself again!"

Everyone looked at me, looked at me, looked at me, I made an announcement. If I, Shuzhong, can PK Sanjiang next week, I will give readers a new treasure island.
