Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi was upset because of this Xie family.

Although Kuaiji is a bit remote, it has long been regarded by Li Yi as his own. Now someone told him that the Xie family occupies half of the land in Shanyin, which is equivalent to half of the population of Shanyin. in the hands of the family!

This situation is unbearable even for a ruler, let alone a traverser like Li Yi!

Chapter 573

Lu Su was preparing his next words when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He couldn't help turning his head, and then noticed Li Yi's obviously unfriendly eyes. When he thought of a problem in his eyes, he hurriedly explained: "My lord, Although the Xie family is very powerful in Shanyin, they have always been gentle in dealing with things, and there are many acts of love for the people. Whenever there is a shortage, they will take the initiative to help the people. When there are bandits and riots, it is the Xie family who will stand up to protect the place. In addition, there are many Other things that benefit the village, so"

Lu Su paused for a moment, seemingly hesitating, but in the end he gritted his teeth and insisted: "This subordinate believes that the Lord should properly win over the Xie family."

Li Yi took a deep look at Lu Su, and couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.

He shook his head not because he was dissatisfied with Lu Su's statement. On the contrary, Li Yi knew that what Lu Su said was from his heart, and it was also the correct view of a qualified adviser in this era.

Moreover, judging from what Lu Su said, even Li Yi himself has to admit that the Xie family is the more conscientious family.

However, this also illustrates a very serious fact, that is, the Xie family completely controls the economy and people's livelihood of a county, and hundreds of thousands of people have to rely on the Xie family to eat and live.

This is the big problem.

Originally, this kind of thing should be undertaken by the local government, but now a family has done it. In Li Yi's view, this model is completely messed up and has great hidden dangers.

Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, it is not bad to live with the Xie family, and some people even feel flattered, but after all, the Xie family is only a family in essence, and they may also have some sense of social responsibility, but the sense of social responsibility of the family is no different. No matter how strong you are, no matter how kind your actions are, the most fundamental position lies in the aristocratic family itself. In this regard, it cannot be compared with the country at all.

It is the country that cares most about ordinary people.

The aristocratic family may treat you well for a while, but once they themselves encounter a crisis, those people who are attached to them can become abandoned children and tools in their hands as long as necessary.

But the country is different. The people are the foundation of the country. Except for some fools with immature brains, most kings hope that the people can live a good life.

Of course, the current world is more helpless, the emperor himself can't protect himself, let alone the people, but from another aspect, we can indirectly see the emperor's attitude towards the people.

Among the lords of the world, those who are in power in the Han family, such as Liu Biao, Liu Yu, and Liu Zhang, are the most kind and generous to the people under their rule, although in the eyes of later generations, there are also many unsatisfactory places , but he is definitely much more kind than those who have risen from aristocratic families.

In the final analysis, it is still the positions of these two people who are different.

However, Li Yi also knew in his heart that he couldn't deny the family all at once because of this, especially in the current situation, before the real order was re-established, certain rules could not be completely broken at once, otherwise it would not be loving the people, but rather It is harming the people.

Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart. He saw the problem with these things, and also knew how serious the consequences would be if this problem continued to develop.

However, if you want to change these things, you can't do it overnight, especially if it will affect Li Yi's own interests.

Laughing self-deprecatingly, he once again had a deep understanding of the reason why crows in the world are generally black. Li reached out and patted Lu Su on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I know that what Zijing said came from the bottom of his heart, and I have also benefited a lot from it." , So, Zijing doesn't need to have any scruples, no matter what he thinks in his heart, just say it!"

Lu Su was open-minded in his heart, and what he said was for Li Yi's sake, but he was worried that Li Yi would be displeased. Now that although Li Yi seemed to have some thoughts about the Xie family, he only had encouragement with him. He didn't express his dissatisfaction because he praised Xie's family, he admired him, and continued to say loudly: "My lord has sent troops to Yangzhou this time, and Yuan Shu has been destroyed. Now only Sun Ce is left to resist, and it is only a matter of time before he can be wiped out. Therefore, my lord The concern now is how to completely bring Yangzhou under control!"

"My subordinates know that most of the officials in Yangzhou's counties are appointed by the court, but because they admire the lord's reputation, most of them have already been used by the lord. From this point of view, there is no obvious obstacle in Yangzhou's officialdom except Kuaiji. Then, Only the Yangzhou family is left, and the place where the Yangzhou family is most prosperous is also Kuaiji."

"Although the Xie family, the He family, and the Yu family in Kuaiji are powerful in the local area, they act relatively moderately. Moreover, the three families rely on each other, and at the same time, the Xie family is faintly headed. If the two families are properly brought together, they can make a lot of money, and make the entire Kuaiji family sympathize with the lord. In addition, the lord has appeased Tang Hao before. In this way, even if the lord doesn't ask about the affairs of the Kuaiji, how much will the Kuaiji be in the hands of the lord? the difference?"

Listening to Lu Su's eloquent talk, Li Yi couldn't help asking: "How does Zijing want me to make friends?"

Regarding this, Lu Su obviously had a draft in mind, so he looked uncomfortable, and replied directly: "Winning the Kuaiji family is nothing more than two points, reuse, and marriage!"

That's all for the first point. When Li Yi heard the second point, the corner of Li Yi's mouth twitched slightly, but he soon returned to normal.

"How to reuse, you can tell me?"

Li Yi is naturally more interested in the second point, but he is always calm when talking about business. Although he is a bit philanthropic, he can distinguish the seriousness from the seriousness, knowing that the most important key is the first point.

Lu Su didn't notice a little strangeness in Li Yi's emotions, and after a moment of pondering, he revealed the most important one.

"Please rest assured, my lord, the important use mentioned by the subordinates is not to ask the lord to give up power to the Kuaiji family, but that the three families do have outstanding talents, whose talents are far superior to those of the subordinates. If these people can be used by the lord, the relationship between the lord and the Kuaiji family will be deepened." And secondly, just his own talent, even if he doesn't consider his family background, is still worthy of being reused by the lord!"

"Oh?"

Li Yi immediately became interested. Traveling through the Three Kingdoms, one of the two happiest things was taking those famous officials and generals under his command.

Li Yi squinted his eyes and tried hard to recall the famous officials in Kuaiji in history. Soon, Li Yi thought of someone, his eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face, but Li Yi still asked: "I don't know Who can receive such praise from Zijing?"

Lu Su smiled and said: "This No. 1 is Xie Cheng, the eldest son of the Patriarch of the Xie family, Xie Yu."

Li Yi blinked his eyes, a little dazed. Although he had read the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, and hadn't studied it seriously, for some lesser-known people, his eyes were really black and he didn't know it at all.

Lu Su took a look at Li Yi's expression, guessing that he probably didn't know this person, so he continued: "Although Xie Cheng is still young and has not yet performed the crown ceremony, Xie Cheng has been familiar with scriptures and history since he was a child, and he is very talented. He is praised for his erudition, and it is said that he has the ability of photographic memory, so he is often praised at this time."

"The subordinates think that although Xie Cheng is young for the time being, if the lord can call him by his side because of his talent and reputation, teach him for three to five years, and with a little experience, it will be more than enough to be a princess. If he is in a calm mood in the future, he can even entrusted with a heavy responsibility."

"Well, good, good."

Li Yi nodded slightly, in fact, he didn't have much feeling for Xie Cheng in his heart.

Traveling through such a long time, Li Yi has met more than one person with a "photographic memory". Regardless of what he said, most of them are just smarter and have a better memory than ordinary people.

Of course, there are also evil ones, but they are really very few.

And according to Lu Su's description, this Xie Cheng will be a pure person in the future, and even Li Yi has seen an old pedant growing up. Such a person is indeed talented, but for Li Yi, especially For the stage of fighting for the country, such a person really doesn't matter much.

I don't know if Lu Su discovered Li Yi's lack of love for Xie Chengxing. Although Xie Cheng is the son of Xie's family, he has the most weight, but he didn't continue to talk, but skipped over Xie Cheng and continued: "This The second person is He family disciple, He Qi, He Gongmiao."

Lu Su noticed that just after he said He Qi's name, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yi's mouth. Although he soon returned to normal, he still couldn't escape Lu Su's eyes.

Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief. He recommended talents to Li Yi. If he recommended several talents in a row, none of them would suit Li Yi's liking.

Fortunately, with He Qi as a guarantee, at least the entire army will not be wiped out.

Lu Su cleared his throat and continued: "He Qi is now serving as a military officer in the county. He is very brave and well-managed the army. There are bandits in and out of Kuaiji, but He Qi leads the army and wins every battle. Although his subordinates I don't know military strategy, but the record is unfathomable, so it can be seen that He Qi is indeed a talented general, and the lord has great ambitions, and he can't be restrained week by day, so this He Qi is right to be used by the lord!"

Li Yi smiled again, this time he didn't say anything good or bad, but asked directly: "Can you be sure that this person can be used by me?"

"The lord is now famous all over the world, and everyone in the world admires him. If the lord intends to recruit him, how can He Qi refuse to obey? It's just"

Lu Su glanced at Li Yi cautiously, and said in a low voice: "He Qi has a good reputation in the local area. Although he is a warrior, he is loyal and righteous, punishes evil and supports the good, and the people love him very much. The only thing is that he is the lord. do not like."

Li Yi was a little curious, and asked, "Then tell me, why do you dislike me?"

Lu Su smiled wryly and said: "He Qi always wins the battle against the bandits, of course it is because of his extraordinary talent, but at the same time, it is also because of the elite soldiers and horses under his command, well-equipped, which is far from ordinary counties and can not be compared."

Li Yi immediately understood the problem, and asked, "You mean, the soldiers under He Qi's command, called the official army, are actually He's private soldiers?"

Lu Su nodded in embarrassment. He knew that what Li Yi was most dissatisfied with about the Yangzhou family was the issue of private soldiers.

Sure enough, the smile on Li Yi's face disappeared immediately, replaced by a frown.

Just when Lu Su was apprehensive, for fear that Li Yi would directly push the He family to the opposite side, Li Yi said slowly: "Zijing, after you go back, you draft a warrant to promote He Qi as the captain of Jiujiang, and issue it directly." Go to Kuaiji."

Lu Su was taken aback, and asked, "Master, don't you need to communicate with the He family in advance?"
