Chapter 366

"What? Brother Zi Gan, the emperor actually appointed you as the commander of Shuofang, and also handed over all the matters of moving the people in Shuofang County, granting fields, and dividing the pastures to you?"

When King Wuqiu Shou came to Zhang Ran's house and told Zhang Ran about the series of events that happened in Weiyang Palace today and the emperor's appointment to him, Zhang Ran couldn't help but take a breath and almost fell down his hand!

Seeing Zhang Ran's reaction so violently, King Qiu Shou couldn't help but feel a little panicked. He immediately asked Zhang Ran anxiously: "Brother Ran, what's wrong? Is there any problem with this appointment?"

"It's not just a problem! It's a big problem!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ran's expression was a little complicated. He couldn't help but look at King Wuqiu Shou with a sympathy, then sighed quietly and replied: "Brother Zigan, do you know that my so-called differentiation strategy is actually improved based on Jia Yi and Jia Changsha's three-face and five-bad strategy! Unlike Jia Yi who only focuses on winning over and dividing the upper class of the Huns, my strategy is more inclined to target the poor Huns at the lower class and the lower class!

Since ancient times, nomadic tribes in the grassland have always followed the law of the strong in prey on the weak due to many factors such as climate, environment, and survival methods. They have no courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame at all. Their rule methods are also extremely rough. They regard herders as livestock and take away life and death without any mercy!

The most fundamental purpose of this strategy I offer to the emperor is to take advantage of our institutional advantages and grant land to the middle and lower classes of the Huns to compete with the Huns’ Khan!

Mencius said: If you have the world, you will be able to win the world!

Therefore, we think that only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world! If we can use this strategy to capture the hearts of most of the Huns' herdsmen and use it for us, then in this battle between the Han and the Huns, our Han can occupy the general trend and gain the benefits of harmony!"

"That's great that only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world!" After listening to Zhang Ran's explanation, Dong Zhongshu praised him with his hands. To be honest, Dong Zhongshu admired Zhang Ran's strategy of benefiting the people, promoting education, and thus winning the hearts of the people, achieving the goal of defeating others without fighting, because it is so in line with his values ​​and cognition!

Therefore, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but look at Zhang Ran with appreciation, and praised: "Xiao Lang's strategy is to embody the heart of heaven and respond to all people below. It is a magnificent way. If it can be implemented, it will benefit all people in the world!"

"Mr. Dong is praised!" Facing Dong Zhongshu's praise, Zhang Ran's face did not show any joy. Instead, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Actually, I was just feeling and gave His Majesty a suggestion. I didn't think so much, and I didn't expect that this plan would be adopted by the emperor! After all, this kind of thing may be easy to say, but it is really difficult to implement it. The resistance, the deep interest entanglement, and the strong backlash are far beyond imagination, and it is even more unbearable to ordinary people!"

"We won't talk about it far away. On the surface, if we really want to divide and grant the vast grasslands of Shuofang to the Hun herders as I said, the first thing that will be violated is the interests of the nomadic leaders and the powerful people in Shuofang!

This move is undoubtedly equivalent to cutting their flesh and giving it to others. In this case, which tribe is willing to be slaughtered by others? Therefore, someone will inevitably jump out to resist... In the meantime, a bloody storm is bound to be inevitable!"

"And once the riots in Shuofang arise, what will the Huns in the north react? Will they take advantage of the situation? If the Huns really invade a large-scale invasion and lead to the loss of Shuofang County, who will bear the responsibility?"

"What will the emperor react when the time comes? What will the civil and military officials in the court react?"

“…”

"Even if all the above problems can be solved, the living habits of the Huns are very different from the farming society of our Han Dynasty. How easy is it to change this custom that has been passed down for thousands of years? Moreover, the north is bitter and cold, and the adverse effects brought about by many factors such as climate..."

"In short, this strategy is difficult to implement, and it is difficult to move forward. Without strong force of suppression, high enough prestige, and practical and effective means... there is no possibility at all!"

As he said that, Zhang Ran couldn't help but look at the worried King Wuqiu Shou opposite him, and sighed, "I originally thought that the emperor would hand over the matter of giving the field to General Wei for implementation. After all, for now, only General Wei Qingwei has such a high reputation and ability to suppress the rebellion and suppress all internal and external opposition forces! But I never expected that the emperor would hand over this matter to Brother Zi Gan. This is really..."

"Drunk the ducks and put them on the shelves!"

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, King Qiu Shou felt something, and couldn't help but sigh. The sadness on his face became increasingly rich, and it was almost overflowing!

"Oh" Seeing this scene, Dong Zhongshu's face was not at all happy. He couldn't help but sigh, and then asked Zhang Ran with a sad face: "Xiaolang, since you can understand all the difficulties so clearly, I wonder if you have any way to resolve them?"

"It's very difficult...it can be said that there is basically no!"

Although Zhang Ran made this plan to teach the field, with his current ability, he was not even qualified to intervene, let alone help King Wuqiu Shou solve his current predicament!

When Zhang Ran offered this plan to the emperor, he took advantage of the situation and drew a sweet and delicious pancake for Wei Qing and Emperor Liu Che!

On the surface, Zhang Ran's so-called strategy of attacking the heart and teaching the fields was to compete with the Xiongnu Shanyu for the people's hearts, so that the Han Dynasty could take the initiative in the war with the Xiongnu... But in fact, Zhang Ran's real purpose was to use the huge military pressure brought by the Xiongnu to the Han Dynasty to force Liu Che to take the initiative to carry out reforms... By the way, try the waters and see if the land reform methods in later generations could be implemented in places like the vast and sparsely populated areas like the border counties of the Han Dynasty!

If this method is done, then everyone will naturally be happy, and Zhang Ran's purpose will be achieved naturally. With this example in front, Zhang Ran's future path will undoubtedly be much easier!

Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Zhang Ran just came up with an idea. The two big bosses, Emperor Liu Che and Wei Qing, were really going to implement this strategy. Zhang Ran didn't really participate in it. Is it illegal to give advice?

Therefore, no matter how successful or failure of this matter is, it actually has nothing to do with him. Even if the matter is leaked, it is amazing that it is just being jealous of some people!
