Fifty-One: Win the World

Liu She sat upright, motionless, and said slowly, "What the people want is naturally what everyone wants. Looking at the history books, which emperor who lost the hearts of the people can last for a long time? Let's not talk about the current official, just talk about the first emperor, It can be regarded as the 'leader' among them..."

He smiled contemptuously, briefly talked about the "great achievements" of the late emperor, deepened his impression with detailed examples, and analyzed the arguments bit by bit, neither making people feel boring and difficult, nor making people feel that he was Talking empty words.

"A person who is a king must of course rely on the power of the aristocratic family, but the biggest foundation is still the 'people'."

Although Liu She came from a famous noble family, he is not optimistic about the prospects of the noble family, and even vaguely feels that it will not last long.

Of course, under the current background, the influence of the gentry on the court is very huge, even covering the sky with one hand.

"The first reason for the failure of the first emperor was that he offended various gentry clans. However, the core reason is still the loss of popular support. If not, how could King Gongshun of Hejian go all the way to Yangcheng without encountering many obstacles, and put his sword on the wall? On the neck of the late emperor?"

Wumajin, the obedient king of Hejian, is the emperor who is currently sitting on the dragon chair.

He is the first brother of the first emperor's mother and compatriot, but when the two brothers fought, they didn't care about family affection at all.

After King Gongshun ascended the throne, in order to calm the grievances of the people, he even disregarded the dissuasion of all the officials, and ordered the late emperor to die, offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for rain.

Jiang Pengji also had a rough understanding of it, and felt that the background of the ancient times was inexplicably similar to the era she lived in.

In her era, there was no shortage of famous nobles, and some families had such great power that they could even influence the change of the federal regime.

But no matter how hard it is, the owner of the Federation is still the largest number of citizens. Whether it is a family or an aristocrat, one cannot do without those people. In this era, the meaning is similar. No matter how strong the gentry is, they cannot violate the voice of the people of the world!

Of course, there are some gentry whose eyes are higher than the top, thinking that they can play with the situation of the world and applaud... This kind of fool is just a monkey.

Just as she was thinking, Liu She looked at her with gentle eyes, as if those black and bright eyes contained a clear spring.

"You are the only child under your father's knee. The family treats you so tolerantly, it is inevitable that you will be blinded by the blindness of Mount Tai. You can only see the prosperity, but not the deeper decay and corruption... The word "people's heart" seems to be It’s easy to write, but it’s very difficult to really write well.”

I saw him holding the pen with his light-white fingers, writing steadily, and wrote two huge characters on a piece of bamboo paper, "People's hearts... If the words have no bones, they are just empty talk. If the words are invisible, others can know the root at a glance... …Easy to write, hard to do.”

Liu She smiled calmly, Jiang Pengji's gaze changed after she said this.

"What does father mean?"

Liu She put aside the bamboo slips, "Look with your own eyes and understand for yourself, and you will understand the contents of the book better. You can know the price of goods outside, the needs of the people's livelihood, farming in the fields... and why are people who have left their homes? Reluctantly selling children and daughters..."

If you don't understand everything the people need, how can you really consider them?

Even these are not possible, let alone win the hearts of the people.

It would be too embarrassing to be betrayed for this reason and then stabbed in the back.

However, Jiang Pengji had another doubt in her mind. He said... Liu Lanting is his only child?

So what happened to the two sons and daughters in the backyard?

Under the flickering candlelight in the study, Liu She's clear voice was extraordinarily heavy, as if she had hidden some poison or medicine that could kill people.

Jiang Pengji also felt it... Today's "father-son topic" is really dangerous.

"Would Lanting want to hear some anecdotes about my father's meeting in office?"

Liu She wisely stopped the topic and chose to let Jiang Pengji think about it by herself. What he said is not only related to the way of being a king,

In fact, it is also closely related to the way of being an official. How can officials who don't understand the needs of the people's livelihood really consider them?

As for which direction his daughter is thinking, he doesn't care, the difference is just the size of her inner ambition.

Yo, there are bedtime stories to listen to.

Jiang Pengji pulled herself together, "Of course I want to hear it."

Therefore, Liu She narrated his experience of serving as an official in those places in a calm and cool voice. Quite soul-stirring.

No matter how poor the place is, there is no shortage of local snakes. As a sheriff from out of town, if he wants to manage a county well, he has no means. In the most difficult time, they were even united by the local gentry and gentry, and almost became a puppet.

There are policies above and countermeasures below, just as Madam Die said, Liu She hides a belly full of black water under the skin of this beautiful and beautiful woman.

If the front is not good, then the side, regardless of whether the means are bright or not, as long as it is useful. Who doesn't have any privacy in their house? Whose hands are thoroughly clean? Which clan wife can be truly peaceful and magnanimous when faced with a room full of concubines and concubines? He is like a poisonous snake hunting, calmly waiting for the prey to relax its vigilance.

After a few months of dormancy, they still cleaned up those little gentry with their eyes above the top one by one.

His way of narrating is not rigid, and even has some indescribable humor, but it is far from his image like a fairy.

After Jiang Pengji heard this, she had to admit that instead, she became more curious about the outside world, and had specific impressions in her mind, instead of generalizing everything in this era as "the product of backwardness and ignorance in ancient times". .

Although Liu She did this because she was worried that Jiang Pengji would become a naive and innocent family member who didn't know the world, but it was a mistake.

She said solemnly, "I understand what father means."

"It's good to understand." Let's do a head-to-head kill. Liu She likes this movement a little recently. He said that he took a small box from his side, pulled it open, and took out the booklet inside, "You are also twelve years old this year. , in two years, I will reach the age of starting a family..."

The nerves at the corners of Jiang Pengji's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Twelve years old... In two years' time, she will be fourteen. Should she start a family?

Suddenly, she felt that in her previous life those guys in their thirties who were still studying hard in higher education institutions were like giant babies.

"This is?" Taking the volume of booklet that Liu She handed over, she carefully opened it, and she almost didn't understand it after reading it around.

"The dowry list your mother left you, the top one is hers, and the bottom one is slowly added for my father over the years." Liu She said with a smile, "Of course, about your marriage, for Father has other arrangements, this list...isn't considered a dowry anymore."

He never planned to marry his daughter off from the beginning to the end. If so, there would be no need to hide the death of his second son many years ago.

Jiang Pengji really didn't understand the price of goods in this era, but she felt that there were a lot of things in the densely packed books!

At the end of the line of sight, when he saw the fields, rice grains and horse business inside, his brows twitched secretly.
