"The general hasn't answered me yet. If there were no powerful families, how could the place be stable?" Xu Shu asked again.

"The reason why aristocratic families can help the court stabilize the place is because the royal power does not go to the countryside, and the court's laws are only useful in counties. When they arrive, the clans speak better than the court." Ma Qiang pointed the table and said, "Since that's the case, then the royal power goes to the countryside.

If a village is established, and a township is established, the people of the world only need to be responsible to the court, and the court is only responsible to the people of the world.

I have said before that the powerful families will not stop occupying the interests of the people because of their personal morality. The only thing that can stop them is the government, the court!

In fact, even without the powerful family, I think there will be something else. After all, as you said, there must be poor and rich in the world. How to make the two sides coexist, how to make the poor live, and give the poor a chance to become rich, this is what the court should do!”

"It's too difficult to make the poor rich..."

"We have to do it even if it is difficult. Our official hats are not beautiful. They are all the expectations of the people!

If a court, an official, does not even have the courage to protect the interests of the people, then what is the use of this court, this official?"

Xu Shu looked at Ma Qiang blankly. He had never seen anyone say such a rebellion.

No, isn’t the current imperial court basically equal to you?

Do you want to create your own rebellion?

But can the royal power go to the countryside... really be realized?

"What? Mr. Yuanzhi thinks it is impossible? Life is only tens of times in the cold and heat. Should I bet with me?"

"A gamble?"

"Betting on a prosperous China!"

"Prosperous China?"

"Yuan Zhi, you should have seen that our general is not just talking nonsense.

Before, the Han Dynasty could not achieve royal power in the countryside because there were not so many officials.

But now there is papermaking, printing, and countless schools. All of this will be possible, right?” Guo Jia also advised.

"Do you say?" Xu Shu suddenly thought of an extremely terrifying possibility.

"General, is it the reason why the Hebei army has not gone south?"

"Yes, I'm not ready yet." Ma Qiang smiled and said, "The Central Plains is so big, it requires a lot of officials. I have to take time to train them."

In fact, if something hadn't happened, I wouldn't have made up my mind to speed up the unification of China."

It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to govern the world. Ma Qiang is well aware of this.

Later generations of red armed forces could sweep the whole country in more than four years because of the accumulated strength over the past 20 years. There was not the countless outstanding cadres accumulated over the years to replace those corrupt officials. Even if they could get the world, they would be difficult to sit firmly. Persuading the lip service and doing good governance to evil is what local officials in all dynasties are best at.

"What happened?"

"Oh, let's talk about that later. I would like to thank you Yuan Zhi. If it weren't for you, how could Cao Cao and others unite? I would have no reason to capture all these princes in one place!"

"So that...and unite the states?"

"Well, I've agreed, otherwise Master Zixu would have killed you when you leave Lumen Mountain." Ma Qiang continued to laugh and said, "So thanks to you, if you hadn't helped unite the states, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, I wouldn't know when they would have endured it.

After all, I am a general and represent the court. I cannot do anything to be punished without guilt!"

Xu Shu smiled bitterly. He has always been proud of his continuous territories. Now it seems that he is just a doll.

Gan Ning, who was beside Xu Shu, shouted in disbelief, "Did the General deliberately let the princes of various places join forces?"

"Of course, otherwise, as long as I ask the emperor to issue an edict to order Liu Zhang to attack Hanzhong and Liu Biao to attack Sun Ce, the alliance will disperse. Don't forget that Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang have a grudge for killing their mother, and Sun Jian almost died at the hands of Liu Biao."

The emperor ordered the princes not to make the emperor a mascot, and the emperor also had to work!

Guo Jia suddenly looked at Ma Teng and said, "General Fu Bo, your face seems to be a little bad."

Ma Teng hurriedly wiped his face and forced a smile and said, "No, no, it's very good, it's very good..."

Can this be OK?

Ma Teng felt that he was ambitious and had the means, but compared with Ma Qiang, he felt that he was no different from a native chicken.

Just as Ma Qiang was about to continue talking, Dian Wei brought in a very thick notebook with a strange expression.

"Hmm? But Xiangping has any abnormal movement?" Ma Qiang asked when he saw Dian Wei's expression.

"Ming Gong, it was a telegram from Qingdao. He returned from the fleet in Japan."

"Are you back?" Ma Qiang smiled and explained to Xu Shu, "I sent a fleet to Japan before. Have you heard of Japan?"

Xu Shu nodded and said, "I saw it when I was reading history books, but I heard that the Japanese people were poor and the general sent a fleet there for what was the purpose of?

Is there a sweaty and blood BMW there?”

Ma Qiang knew that this was Xu Shu using the story of Emperor Wu of Han's expedition to Dayuan to advise himself not to devote his energy to countries that were too far away. This would not only be of no benefit to the country, but also easily become more likely to be militant and eventually weaken the country.

"There are things better than the sweat-blooded BMW there." Ma Qiang sighed and asked Dian Wei, "Can they find the silver mine in the telegram?"

"Silver Mine?" Xu Shu felt that Ma Qiang was not even more dependent on what he had thought before.

This mineral is hidden under the nine lands. Even in the Han territory, it is difficult to find minerals, let alone foreign lands. How to find them?

"This... the telegram is too thick, please read it yourself."

“Too thick?”

Dian Wei put the thick telegram on Ma Qiang's table.

Ma Qiang was stunned.

Is this a telegram?

Are you sure you didn't get it as a phone book?

Whose telegram has hundreds of pages?

I really think the telegram doesn't cost money, right?

Ma Qiang could even imagine that his communication class should be half-dead now.

Ma Qiang took the telegram and read it.

As he watched, Ma Qiang handed the telegram he had finished reading to Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and Ma Teng, and asked them to read together... This... Adventures...

Time went back to the day when Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were ordered to start forming an expedition fleet and heading to Japan.

Neither Zhou Tai nor Jiang Qin nor Jiang Qin's father Chiang Zhong knew about Japan, but he knew that there was such a country, so he called Emataro and Emajiro to ask.

The two of them learned that Zhou Tai and others were going to lead the fleet to Japan, so they would not mention the excitement.

Finally, I can go home to decorate... I'll go home to see my family.
