It's just a game, why did you dig up my grave?

"Have you noticed the Tian family for a long time?"

"I'm just an ordinary person. How can I predict the future?"

"Haha, you are so... so humble."

Tian Qi had a strange expression.

“I wonder what I should do to help those who will resist in future generations?”

"Get up, let's go to the living room and talk."

Chu Xuan looked around.

"It's not appropriate for you to kneel all the time."

Soon, the two came to Shangqingguan's reception room.

Chu Xuan sat casually on a chair in the center of the living room.

Tian Qi curiously looked at the novel objects he had never seen before.

After watching for a while, he followed Chu Xuan's example and sat down.

Just keep your legs tightly together.

The clothes he wore were still in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period.

The trousers only reached the knees, like stockings in later generations.

The entire body is covered by two layers of robes.

So when sitting on a stool, you can only keep your legs together, otherwise it will be very embarrassing.

Relatively speaking, Chu Xuan's Taoist robe comes with trousers, which is convenient for doing anything.

"Master, what do you think we need to do to usurp the country?"

After sitting down, Chu Xuan did not mention dealing with the gods.

"Usurping the country?"

Tian Qi looked at Chu Xuan in confusion.

I didn't expect him to ask this question suddenly.

"Yes, it is usurping the country.

The State of Qi has been in power for hundreds of years and has a high prestige in the hearts of the people, and it has a large group of ministers who are still loyal to it.

Countless powerful officials throughout history have tried to usurp political power.

But in the end, without exception, they were defeated by generals and ministers who brought reinforcements from other countries who were loyal to the country.

Our own people will not support it either.

If Tian acts rashly, the outcome will not be any better than these people. "

"Senior is right."

Although he was eager to know how to overthrow the gods, Chu Xuan's words made Tian Qi forget about the gods.

The expression is a little sad.

This is a problem that the elders in their clan are also worried about.

Since the establishment of Zhou.

It is normal for princes to compete with each other for power and usurp the throne.

But non-royal people have never succeeded in usurping the throne.

Even if he temporarily killed the emperor and took control of the country, he would not be able to gain the support of the people.

The princes from all walks of life will also take the opportunity to attack and support the succession of the royal prince who they support and is a hostage in their own country.

Therefore, all the officials who usurped the throne before ended up exterminated.

"I wonder if seniors have any solution to this problem?"

"Have you ever seen a ship sailing on the water?

The king is like a ship sailing on the water, and the people are like the water.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

People all over the world work hard just to have a full meal.

Under the Zhou rites, everyone was loyal to the monarch.

But if the people can't even eat, will they still be so loyal to their monarch?

Now Qi's official office is corrupt.

Whenever there was a natural disaster, the princes who were related to the royal family of Qi lent food to the people at extremely high interest rates.

and drastically lowered land prices.

Many people had no food and had to sell their land to them at a low price in order to survive.

The Chinese people have long been very dissatisfied with this.

Has Tian ever done this before? "

"Tian Qi is ashamed.

Tian Shi indeed did the same thing. "

The young master was a little embarrassed.

“Well, as a family, it’s really okay to do this.

But your goals are different now, and the pattern needs to be opened up. "

Chu Xuan was not surprised by this routine operation of the family since the Spring and Autumn Period.

“Blindly annexing land will only make the people hate you and will not help usurp the throne.

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

I know that the nobles of Qi State lent rice to the people in years of disaster.

Many people borrowed five buckets of rice in ten-liter buckets, but when they returned the rice, they had to pay back the rice in twelve-liter buckets.

And an additional bucket of rice will be added as interest.

That is to say, if you borrow fifty liters of rice, you will have to pay back seventy-two liters when it's time to pay it back.

You Tian family should have your own fiefdom.

Have you ever thought about it?

If you lend rice to the people under the jurisdiction of the fief, use a twelve-liter bucket.

Borrow five dou without interest.

When the people returned the rice, they calculated it in buckets of ten liters.

In other words, when people borrow sixty liters from you, they only have to pay back fifty liters.

How will people in the world evaluate you, Tian? "

"Big Dou borrows it, and Xiao Dou returns it?"

Confusion flashed in Tian Qi's eyes.

"Wouldn't this be a loss?"

“In the eyes of the Gongqing noble clan, you Tian family are fools for doing this.

But in the hearts of the people.

When they had no food to eat and were in dire straits, Tian lost money and lent them food.

You are as benevolent kings as Yao and Shun were reincarnated! "
