Chapter 1406: Establish power and embrace gentleness
Although Li Qinzai has the status of a teacher, when it comes to education, he does not like to talk to his disciples about big principles.
The truth in the world is often discovered in silence.
The teacher was talking so hard that his mouth was dry, but the students below him were drowsy. This kind of teaching method was completely meaningless in Li Qinzai's opinion.
He prefers to teach by example, letting students follow and watch what the teacher said and did, and then think about why the teacher said and did what he did.
If you can understand it, it is a wealth of life. If you can't understand it, don't force it. There is nothing wrong with being a mediocre mortal all your life. There are billions of people in the world, and not everyone has to stand at the top of the pyramid.
To be honest, among Li Qinzai's many disciples, Li Sujie's qualifications are actually relatively mediocre.
Li Sujie is not the best in terms of knowledge or conduct in life.
As the eldest disciple of Li Qinzai, Li Sujie's inner pressure is actually greater than that of other disciples, because there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him. In the world's perception, the eldest disciple should be the smartest and the one who should be relied upon by the teacher the most. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the future heir apparent.
However, Li Sujie's qualifications are mediocre, and no matter how hard he works, he still cannot be the best. This fact has repeatedly tortured him in recent years and has almost become his inner demon.
This time, Li Sujie shamelessly insisted on following her husband to the south of the Yangtze River, so Li Sujie thought of making up some extra lessons.
Of course, making up lessons is not to make up for classroom knowledge, but to observe Li Qinzai's words and deeds up close and personal. He wants to be like his teacher. Even if he lives like his shadow in the future, he must be the one who is most like his teacher.
This time when Li Qinzai came down to Jiangnan, Li Sujie had been playing the role of a bystander. He observed Li Qinzai's every move in silence.
He kept every word and every decision made by Li Qinzai in mind. In the dead of night, he would repeatedly think about his husband's intentions, what his far-reaching plan was, what his purpose was, etc.
It has to be said that Li Sujie really put his heart into it. As a disciple with mediocre qualifications, his future achievements are unknown, but his efforts cannot be denied by anyone.
"Sir, I went to the south of the Yangtze River on the order of my father. Before leaving, I should have thought about rectifying the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River. After all, the granary of the south of the Yangtze River is too important. If the local noble families become more powerful, it will not be a good thing for the emperor and the country."
Li Sujie spoke very slowly, as if every word was carefully thought out.
Li Qinzai cut off a piece of mutton leg and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Keep talking."
Li Sujie added: "But after my husband went to the south of the Yangtze River, his mentality actually changed... When he was first in Jingzhou, the governor of Jingzhou violated the law and blocked the army from crossing the river. Xue Na solved the matter, but he did not hold the governor accountable afterwards. .”
"At that time, my husband must have planned to use a gentler approach to rectify Jiangnan."
"However, after arriving in Jiangzhou, my husband took us on a private visit incognito to the villages near Jiangzhou. The miserable situation of the old, weak, women and children in the villages may have deeply stimulated my husband. From that time on, my husband must have gradually become more determined. My determination and mentality changed unconsciously.”
"I originally planned to use gentle means to rectify the noble family. After that day, my husband decided to use thunderous methods. The annexation of Jiangnan land caused disaster to the noble family. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the 'chief culprits'."
"To solve the problem of land annexation, it is useless to be gentle and appeasement. Land is the fundamental interest of the noble family. They will not buy into the court's gentleness. Sir, the only thing you can do is to bring down the thunderstorm and cleanse Jiangnan thoroughly."
"But if Mr. Jiangnan's method of cleaning up Jiangnan is too drastic, it may cause the prominent families to join forces to fight back, so he chose the Lu family of Wu County to open a gap from the Lu family of Wu County and break up the alliance of the prominent families..."
Li Qinzai glanced at him in surprise and praised: "Not bad. Have you felt your scalp itchy recently?"
Li Sujie was stunned and subconsciously scratched his head: "It seems a bit..."
"Congratulations, you are growing a brain. I am very happy to be your teacher." Li Sujie smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, can you be more serious?"
Picking up a bunch of burnt chicken wings and handing them to him, Li Qinzai said dotingly: "I'll reward you with this, eat it while it's hot."
Li Sujie looked at the blackened chicken wings in his hand with a troubled expression. He hesitated several times, but still didn't dare to eat.
Li Qinzai cut off another piece of mutton leg meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I am in a good mood today, so I will make an exception to explain to you."
Li Sujie immediately stood up, lowered his hands and said respectfully: "I would like to hear Mr.'s teachings."
"It doesn't have to be so formal, just chat casually." Li Qinzai waved his hand.
After chewing a few times, Li Qinzai ate with his mouth full of oil and said, "Your guess just now was quite reliable, but you made two mistakes."
"Which two?"
"First, before I left Chang'an, I had already planned to use thunderous means to rectify Jiangnan. I didn't change my mentality after seeing the miserable situation of the farmers in Jiangzhou. How to use thunderous means? I had several confidential discussions with your father before leaving. This time, your father knew every move I made."
"Second, the thunder method does not mean to 'cleanse' Jiangnan. This is too radical and can easily force the noble families to rebel. After establishing power, it is better to be gentle. The biggest bargaining chip in my hand is not the sword, but the interests."
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "You don't have to be so murderous at a young age. Even if you are as strong as me, I don't dare to kill everyone in Jiangnan. Generally speaking, my methods towards the famous families in Jiangnan are relatively kind..."
Li Sujie looked up and rolled her eyes, then quickly returned to her original position with a respectful fake smile on her face.
Disciples dare not speak out, but...you have wiped out one of the eight prominent families, and you have made the other seven families panic all day long. Dozens of Jiangnan officialdom have also been escorted to Chang'an. Now you have the nerve to praise yourself as "kind" ?
Li Sujie asked tentatively: "I wonder what will Mr. Sir do to the noble families next?"
Li Qinzai said slowly: "Next, we have to look at the clan's methods. Otherwise, I have been so bored these past few days doing nothing in the camp. What do you think I am waiting for?"
Li Sujie was stunned: "A noble family still dares to use methods against Mr.?"
"The foundation that has been established for hundreds of years is crumbling. We have to bear the burden of our ancestors and our descendants. If it were you, would you fight to the death?"
Li Sujie thought for a while and said, "Yes."
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "So, I am waiting to see how the Wang clan struggles. Their counterattack should have some weight. I would like to see it."
Just as he was talking, he saw Song Sen hurriedly came outside the commander's tent. Seeing the teacher and students grilling meat, Song Sen stepped forward and cut off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he said, "Jun Gong, there is something happening in the distinguished family."
"What's happening?"
"A total of eight small landowners committed suicide in Jiangning, Yangzhou, Hangzhou and other places from yesterday to today. The local county magistrate went to investigate and found that they really committed suicide and were not murdered."
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched, and Li Sujie beside him couldn't help but ask: "What does this have to do with my husband?"
Song Sen swallowed the meat in his mouth hard and said with a wry smile: "These small landowners are not very important. Their families only have hundreds of acres of land. But before they committed suicide, some left suicide notes and some told their family members. The meanings are basically the same. Same."
"It is said that the reason why they committed suicide was that the emperor's imperial envoys went against the grain and forcibly measured the land and forcibly added up the land amount. As a result, the property taxes under their names doubled several times. Several small landowners could no longer survive and simply died. ."
