Chapter 727

After the rain, the blue sky was washed particularly thoroughly. In this weather, even breathing seems so smooth. The white clouds in the sky are floating leisurely. It seems that nothing can disturb their freedom. The people in the city have dispersed, and the haze that once shrouded their hearts has disappeared, just like the current sky. Because they all know that since Fang explained, it must count.

Some people rarely promise anything, but they won't go back as long as they say it.

Wei Xiting, the magistrate of Qingshan County, knelt at the gate of the County Yamen and waited for Fang Xie. He was wearing a washed white cloth clothes, which looked very clean, but when he was close, he would smell a faint damp smell. It was obvious that the clothes had not been worn for a long time, but it could be seen from the folding marks on the clothes, Even such an old dress is still well preserved.

Fang Xie looked at him without stopping: "come in with me"

Wei Xiting looked up at Fang Xie, then got up and walked in behind Fang Xie. Or because the kneeling time is a little long, so the walking posture is a little shaky.

After entering the county government, Fang Xie did not stop in the lobby, but directly entered Wei Xiting's study.

The study is small, but it is very tidy. One side of the desk was full of bookshelves. Fang Xie noticed that most of them were old books. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk were placed neatly. Fang Xie sat down and found that the penholder was just where he could reach when he raised his hand. There are still traces of water left on the table not long ago. It is obvious that the people who cleaned up here have just left.

"General, my subordinates know what's wrong."

Wei Xiting said, leaning slightly on his upper body.

Fang Xie waved his hand: "I don't say this in advance. I have something to ask you."

He looked out of the window. Those yamen soldiers who had been disarmed stood in the yard. The people of Xiaoqi school surrounded, while those yamen soldiers stretched their necks and looked here.

"Why didn't you see your wife?"

Fang Xie asked.

Wei Xiting was surprised. He really didn't expect that the first problem of the general was this.

"She said that what the senior general came to Qingshan county to do was serious and important, and that her subordinates had mistakes. She was not suitable to appear. If she appeared, it would make people think that she wanted to plead for her husband. She said it was unwise to plead with women's tears, which would only affect the decision of the senior general. If the senior general spared his subordinates because of her pleading, everyone would follow suit in the future, as long as they made a mistake Let your women beg, and the rules are not the rules. "

Fang Xie couldn't help but praise in his heart. This woman is so sensible and knowledgeable. It's rare.

Many women don't understand this truth. When their men make a mistake, they come to beg. Even if the boss doesn't refuse and spared her husband, will her husband have a chance in the future?

"My sister-in-law's wife is noble. Where did she come from?"

Fang Xie asked again.

"Born in an ordinary peasant household, he has never read a book. He has thick hands and big feet. He is quite virtuous."

Wei Xiting answered truthfully.

"Good, good!"

Fang Jielian said three good words: "come here, take ten brocades and five hundred taels of silver to Wei Xiting's house, and say it's to buy new clothes for his wife."

"Here!"

The royal guards school at the door answered and turned to do it.

"You are a magistrate of zhengqipin county. According to the regulations of the black flag army, you have dozens of liang of silver every month, but you have been wearing this suit for at least six or seven years. When was the last time you bought new clothes?"

"My subordinates don't remember."

Wei Xiting replied, "my subordinates wear hair clothes from the inside to the outside. Therefore, I don't need to buy clothes. The surplus silver is kept in my wife's hand. I will make a dowry for my daughter in the future. The dowry is rich, and my daughter will live better in the future."

Fang Xie said, "I ask you, I asked you to implement the division of fields into households. What do you think of this measure?"

Because the turning point was too big, Wei Xiting was silent for a while, then raised his head and replied solemnly: "there are advantages and disadvantages... The disadvantages are in the rich, and the advantages are in the people."

"Great advantages and disadvantages?"

Fang Xie asked again.

Wei Xiting said, "in the near future, the people are happy, the people's wishes are great, and the advantages are great, but in fact the disadvantages are great. Looking from a distance, the rich families are facing difficulties at every step outward. The disadvantages are great, but in fact the advantages are great."

"What do you say?"

"Senior general, now it seems that people can have their own land if they want a variety of land. The more food they fight, the more they fall into their own hands, so they are full of joy and naturally try their best. In Pingshang Road, it is beneficial in every way. But that's why Pingshang is so happy People outside the Tao have hatred. "

"People outside Pingshang road will admire the people of Pingshang road when they hear about the actions of the great general. But all rich families will regard the great general as a hostile enemy and stop it at all costs. All aristocratic families that had not conspired will also contact and join hands to resist the great general. Therefore, it is actually a great disadvantage."

"However, when they arrived, the people of Pingshang road had already tasted the sweetness, and the people outside were naturally more envious. They could not help but look forward to the big general's rescue. At that time, the rich families had been in close contact with each other, and it was even more difficult for the big general to move troops abroad. But because of the implementation of Pingshang Road, the people in other places were looking forward to it, even the rich families If the iron plate is made, the general will shout, and the people should be like fire. It's not difficult to burn the iron plate, which is beneficial. "

"But..."

Wei Xiting said after a moment of silence, "if you use the method of the great general to the extreme, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages. But if you don't use it well, the advantages are not there, but the disadvantages are all out."

"What do you mean by the extreme?"

Fang Xie asked.

……

……

Wei Xiting looked up at Fang Xie's eyes and said seriously: "My subordinates were worried when they just heard that the senior general was going to implement this policy. But when Qingshan county was in charge of implementing this policy and really operated, they understood the vision of the senior general. The reason why it was implemented quickly in Pingshang road and recognized by the people was that there was no obstruction from wealthy families. To put it bluntly... Because the senior general killed enough people, all those who could obstruct died."

"However, will the general's army be the same as in Pingshang road in the future? Those rich families compromise because of defeat or fear, but as long as they are, it will be difficult to implement this policy. Unless... The general goes to one place and slaughters one place and kills all those who obstruct this policy, the people will follow the general boldly without scruples!"

He shouted, "this is the ultimate!"

In the final analysis, he meant that if you want to succeed, you can only kill it in one breath. If you don't kill it, Fang Xie can't stay in one place for a long time. As long as he leaves, it will naturally be dominated by the rich families of the aristocratic family. How can it be easy for the remaining officials to implement the division of land into households? With the rich families, their prestige still exists, and the people are afraid and dare not let go. The people are timid. What do the remaining officials rely on?

But it was a bit surprising to say this from a civilian.

"My subordinates have been thinking about one thing these days..."

Wei Xiting paused and said, "since the beginning of history, there has been no change of imperial court in all dynasties. No one from a poor family has ever sat on the Dragon chair. In the early stage of entrepreneurship, people from a poor family may be as powerful as bamboo, but they will eventually become puppets of aristocratic families and eventually be drained of blood and abandoned. Those who have always been great events have two choices."

"One of the ways that all heroes with lofty aspirations have been taking since ancient times is to contact aristocratic families and seek backup. As long as they can get the support of aristocratic families, they can quickly attract a force. Looking forward for thousands of years, Dacheng and successful people have chosen this way. As long as they can get the support of aristocratic families, they can get twice the result with half the effort."

"Second, it is a way that no one has ever relied on it to win the final victory, that is, relying on the people. No matter which dynasty, the people have rebelled. Therefore, many people rely on the people to raise matters, but none of them has been completely successful in the end. The closest person is the rebellion of Sun Liang in the great Zhou Dynasty. Sun Liang started the army, killed refugees and bandits all the way to the capital of the great Zhou Dynasty and was pushed He is the emperor, Jianyuan Nongxing, and the country name is Daqing. But less than two months after he ascended the throne, Sun Liang was killed by his subordinates, and hundreds of thousands of troops fell apart... "

"During the war, they were invincible and United, so they could break the capital of the Zhou Dynasty and build a nation. However, after Sun Liang became king, he began to attract the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty and wanted to invite them to work for him. Before long, he was confused by the aristocratic families who talked and presented many treasures and beauties, and began to take back his military power from his old department and transfer it to him To the aristocratic family. His old subordinates couldn't bear it, so they started to fight against him. Finally, Sun Liang was killed, his troops scattered, and the state of Daqing ended in two months... "

"It was not a strong army that defeated Sun Liang, but some gold and silver treasures and dozens of beauties."

Weixiting Road: "Sun Liang was defeated. He thought that the people of the aristocratic family would help him and become his capable men. Sun Liang also hoped that it would be so, because the later he felt that the old subordinates were not knowledgeable and decent, and the people of the aristocratic family were well-informed and polite. However, they just manipulated him like a doll. The experience and wisdom accumulated over thousands of years , let the people of the aristocratic family know how to play with power better than the children of the poor family. Sun Liang first became dependent on the people, and then abandoned the people... So he lost. "

He looked at Fang Xie and said, "many people took the first road, and the best of them succeeded. Many people took the second road, but no one succeeded... Why? Because they didn't go completely, they wanted to go to the first road halfway. As a result, the people on the first road didn't like him, and the people who liked him on the second road abandoned him."

Fang Xie frowned slightly. He knew what Wei Xiting meant. He just didn't expect that these words would come from a civil servant who should not say such words. Civil servants have always rejected killing. In troubled times or peaceful times, civil servants have always had no good feelings for Wufu. They think that success depends on education and persuasion, rather than cutting directly with a knife.

Wei Xiting's ability to say such words can be worthy of four words of shock in this era.

"For you, should I take the first way or the second way?"
