Chapter 728 Moved me "So tell me, should I take the first path or the second path?" Fang Jie asked. Wei Xiting asked: "General, can we still take the first road?" He continued without giving an answer: "General, he has already taken the second road. There is no other way to choose from. It is precisely because of this, The subordinate thought carefully and carefully for a long time. The subordinate thought that everyone who took this path was wrong, and the first way was the right way, so he wanted to persuade the general to turn back immediately. I was thinking about it in my spare time, and after returning home at night, I was thinking about it. When I was dividing the fields among the He people a few days ago, I suddenly realized that no matter who it was at this time, if they tried to persuade the general to go back and take the first path, they would be harming the general. " "Because turning back and changing the road at this time is not what Sun Liang is doing? No matter what the purpose is, whether it is for the good of the general or to destroy the general, such advice to the general should not be ignored. After consulting ancient books and historical records, I finally understood a truth It seems that only those who took the first path succeeded in the end, and those who took the second path failed. In fact, the relationship with the road is secondary, first of all "Unwavering." "Throughout the dynasties, those who have taken the first step are also the most determined. They know how to gain the support of the family and how to repay the family without harming their own interests. Only by doing these two things well can they be successful. It will work. There is no success in the second way, because there is no one who is unswerving." Fang Jie looked at him and waited for him to continue. Wei Xiting took a deep breath, then knelt down and said: "So, I would like to advise the general, since you are taking the second road, then walk unswervingly without any hesitation. This second road It will definitely be ten times more difficult than taking the first path, and it requires a cold and unchanging heart from beginning to end." "That's killing!" Wei Xiting's lips trembled: "Kill to the end, even if you can't kill him cleanly. Kill until no one dares to stop you. Only by killing to the end will the common people be free from fear. Hold them up and let them see more. Let them put aside their past blind obedience to the wealthy family and let them dare to kill. ¡When the common people in the world don¡¯t follow the general to kill, who else¡ can stop the general?¡± When these words came out of the mouth of a scholar like Wei Xiting, it was so heart-wrenching. The smell of blood scares people. "Nurture the people's rebellious spirit." Wei Xiting said: "Let the people be willing to follow the general to rebel. They are willing to resist everything except the general. We must make the people feel that whoever blocks the general will want to destroy The general is destroying their hard-won beauty, so this requires not only the persistence of the general, but also the persistence of his subordinates. If the Black Flag Army cannot be unified, how can the people be unified? I think the general has issued a strict order. From now on, no one in the army can mention the matter of joining forces with the family. Even if they join forces, they can only use it." He said so much in one breath, and his chest heaved violently because he was so excited. In fact, even Wei Xiting himself found it a bit incredible that he could actually say these words exactly as they were. He knew that once his words spread, some people would be offended even within the Black Flag Army. Because even within the Black Flag Army, many people felt that Fang Jie was taking the wrong route at this time. Because of the influence of inherent concepts, a large number of people feel that the first path is the right way. "Since we have started to extract the profits from the wealthy families and distribute them to the common people we should not stop. I know that these words are too extreme, but these words are my heartfelt words. When starting a business, if Swinging back and forth is the most difficult thing to do. Most powerful people look down on ordinary people because they think they are weak and can be bullied. On the surface, this is true. Compared with the power of those wealthy families, the common people seem to have no power to resist. "But!" Wei Xiting said excitedly: "If the general takes this path to the end, he will be supported by the people of the world No! As long as half of the people in the world are willing to follow the general, it won't matter." "Isn't it?" His face was a little red because of the excitement. It was the first time for Fang Jie to hear someone say such remarks in this era, so he looked at Wei Xiting in surprise. Things like thoughts sometimes have great limitations. What you think in any era is a trend. Wei Xiting's remarks are obviously against the trend in this era. "So, what the general needs to do now is not to carefully promote the division of land into households, but to spread the word." Wei Xiting sorted out his thoughts and said: "The common people know that this is a good thing, but big families don't I know this is not a good thing, so what the general did in Pingshangdao, a big family.People must have tried their best to block the news. They didn't dare to let people in other places know about it. Because once it is known that the general is going to distribute the land to the people, the people's hearts will be unstable. No force will allow the people in their hands to think about another leader. " Fang Jie nodded: "Keep talking. " Wei Xiting was encouraged, and his thinking became clearer: "If the general wants to win the hearts of the people, he must build momentum. If the people don't know, let the people know. Not to mention other places, the southwestern roads, the Huangyang Road, are already in the hands of the general, and the Pingshang Road has also been stabilized. Beihui Road, Nanhui Road, and Yongbei Road, these three roads are still controlled by aristocratic families. The general has no reason to get rid of those people now, and those people will definitely not be willing to work for the general. " "So, now we should let the people of these three roads know as soon as possible how good the people of Huangyang Road and Heping Shang Road are living! " Wei Xiting said: "Specialized teams should be dispatched and distributed among the various roads. These people do not need strong cultivation, or even great loyalty. They can be ordinary people, anyone. They were sent in groups to other provinces to publicize the benefits of generals dividing fields into households, so as to make the minds of the people in those three provinces come alive So what if these people were arrested? There is no need to cover up this matter. " Fang Jie's eyes changed slightly: "Then what? " "It can take as long as half a year, or as short as three months. In the southwest, everyone knows the benefits of the general. Even the people in the south of the Yangtze River will respect the general. If the general goes out to the southwest in the future, how can these people fight against each other? Most likely they will be welcomed along the way! " Wei Xiting's thinking is unconstrained. After Fang Jie asked Sun Kaidao to leave, the civil servants in his hands became even more stretched. When he started his business, he mostly relied on military generals. This was especially true in the Black Flag Army. Looking for a It is not difficult to recruit a general who is good at fighting, but it is not easy to find a minister who can govern the world. Dugu Wenxiu has been promoted by Fang Jie during this period, and he has already taken charge of his own affairs. But having only one Dugu Wenxiu is obviously not enough. Wei Xiting's fault is not big. Fang Jie originally planned to scold him and just deduct half a year's salary and let him stay in Qingshan County as the county magistrate. But now Fang Jie regretted it. He knew that he had obviously underestimated Sun Kaidao's temperament. I still understand. For so long, almost none of Sun Kaidao's civil servants have stood out in the Black Flag Army. It is precisely because Sun Kaidao is jealous that he does not want his subordinates to stand out and be the first among the civil servants. He tried his best to sit still. But later, most of Sun Kaidao's rights were taken back by Fang Jie. In addition, Chu Dingping Shangdao needed a large number of civil servants to govern the place, so Fang Jie kept recruiting them. However, because he did not have the support of a wealthy family behind him, most talented people were unwilling to come to the southwest, and the talents in the southwest were not willing to follow Fang Jie because they did not think that Fang Jie's actions would be successful in the end. Xie is too fierce and will not hesitate to offend all the famous families in the world. They are afraid that if they follow such a person, there will be no good end. Therefore, since the Black Flag Army went south, Fang Jie has really not recruited many talents. Jie thought that Zhang Xiu was worthy of the important task, but his vision was too shallow and his view of the overall situation was too weak. He could be a county magistrate or even a county guard, and he could bring peace and prosperity to one side. Now that Wei Xiting appeared in front of Fang Jie, how could he let this happen. Who will continue to stay in Qingshan County as the county magistrate? Fang Jie sat down on the chair, took a sip of tea and asked: "If you follow your words and send a large number of spies into various provinces, even Jiangnan, even if you can let the people know My advantage, but doesn't it force those who were originally waiting and watching to immediately oppose me? Now the big families in Beihui Road, Nanhui Road, and Yongbei Road are under pressure and dare not break up with me. But once they start doing this, these people will be prepared to die. " "General! " Wei Xiting said: "General, why should we worry about this? My subordinates have said before that hesitation is the most feared on this road. Since the general has already started killing, why should he care about killing a few more? Those three aristocratic families will definitely be forced to rebel, but even if they are not forced, will they continue to be submissive? " "There has always been a saying that you can't do anything absolutely" Wei Xiting shook his head and said: "But in this matter, you can only do it absolutely." It was so absolute that the people knew that the general was on the side of the people and would never compromise with the family. Only in this way can we completely take the second path. " Fang Jie was silent for a while and then nodded: "If I leave this matter to you, can you possibly do it well? " "I can do that, my subordinates!" " Wei Xiting nodded immediately: "My subordinates have already thought deeply about how to do this, and already have an idea of ??how to do this. All you need to do is press??If we continue to think of ways to arrange it, the people in the other three provinces will soon start to look forward to the general's early departure. And" Wei Xiting continued: "The general wants to launch troops against Nan Yan. Isn't this an offensive move? If the people of Nanyan knew the benefits of the general, they would not help Murong Shai defend. " "But it will also make the Nanyan army defending the city fight to the death. Fang Jie shook his head: "Military affairs are different from civil affairs. Your talent and learning are not in military affairs." " A trace of disappointment flashed in Wei Xiting's eyes, as if Fang Jie was unwilling to block his next words immediately. How could a person like him not know what position is most important in the Black Flag Army now? As a civil servant, no matter how good his performance is, he will not be able to stand out. Difficult. But once you enter the army, you can quickly climb up. For example, this person is now indispensable in the Black Flag Army. " Fang Jie glanced at him and asked lightly. Wei Xiting was obviously startled and leaned over quickly: "I don't dare! " "People can't be too greedy. You have already made me notice you. " Wei Xiting's face changed drastically, and his shoulders trembled slightly. "Subordinatesubordinateplease punish me, General, for being presumptuous. " Fang Jie smiled and said: "Only when people have a progressive heart can they have the power to make progress. But don't be too greedy, otherwise it will make people disgusted. Only by doing good things will you get what you deserve. do you understand? " Wei Xiting's face kept changing, and he didn't dare to look into Fang Jie's eyes. "You do what I like, and after saying so much, it's actually not what you think at all, but what you guess I'm thinking. Fang Jie said in a calm tone: "Without Sun Kaidao to pressure you, you naturally want to stand out like Dugu Wenxiu." Because you know that if you have talent in your heart, you will definitely be able to do great things. But then you were appointed as the magistrate of Qingshan County, and you must have been unwilling to do so. How long will it take for a county magistrate, no matter how good his political performance is, to get up step by step in the future? You can't wait. In today's troubled times, any waiting is wasted. Do you think so? " "You must have thought about it for a long time after you learned that I was going to implement land distribution to each household. You speculated on my thoughts and followed my thoughts and thought a lot. Is it right? "With a plop, Wei Xiting knelt down. "I like people who want to climb up, because they work hard. But such people often have a shortcoming and are easily swayed. You can do this to me today, but you may do this to others tomorrow" Fang Jie stood up, walked to him and patted his shoulder: "You gave the land to He people, but you deliberately didn't report it. Just to let the people in Xiao Riding School know about this, and then I can know about it. You are confident. You have been preparing for so long. As long as you see me, you will definitely be able to impress me. Is it right? " "This subordinate deserves to die" Wei Xiting just kowtowed, but couldn't find any words to defend himself. "You impressed me. " Fang Jie walked to the door and smiled: "Follow me and do things from now on. "
