"Then tell me, should I go the first way or the second way?"
Fang asked.
Wei Xiting said: "General, can the first route still go?"
He continued without answering the formula: "The general is already walking on the second road. There is no other road to choose. It is precisely because of this that this subordinate will think carefully for a long time. The subordinate originally thought that he would take the second road. This path is all wrong, and the first path is the right path. Therefore, if the subordinate wants to persuade the general, he should turn around immediately. The subordinate thinks about it in rare leisure time during the day, and after returning home at night, he thinks about what he did to He a few days ago. When people divided the land, they suddenly realized that no matter who it is at this time, if they try to persuade the general to go back to the first road, they will be harming the general!"
"Because turning back and changing directions at this time, isn't it exactly what Sun Liang did? No matter what the purpose is, whether it is for the general's benefit or to destroy the general, those who advise the general should not be ignored. The subordinates consult ancient books History finally understands a truth... It seems that only those who take the first path succeed in the end, and those who take the second path lose. In fact, the relationship with the road is second, and the first is... unwavering. "
"Throughout the dynasties, those who have succeeded in taking the first route are also the most steadfast among them. They know how to gain the support of the family and know how to repay the family without compromising their own interests. Only when these two points are done well can things be accomplished. The second rule There are no successful people on the road, because there is no one who is steadfast."
Fang Jie looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Wei Xiting took a deep breath, then knelt down and said, "So, my subordinates should advise the general, since you are taking the second path, then go unswervingly, without any hesitation. This second path It must be ten times and a hundred times more difficult than taking the first road, and it needs a cold and unchanging heart from the beginning to the end."
"That's killing!"
Wei Xiting's lips trembled: "Kill to the end, even if it is not clean, you must kill until no one dares to stop you. Only when you kill to the end, will the people have no fear. Hold the people up, let them see more, let them Let go of the awe and blind obedience of the big family in the past, let them dare to kill... When the 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 literati like Wei Xiting, there was a smell of blood that made people feel afraid.
"Nurture the rebellion of the people."
Wei Xiting said: "Let the people be willing to follow the general to rebel against everything except the general. Let the people feel that whoever blocks the general or who wants to destroy the general will destroy them." Hard-won beauty. So this not only requires the persistence of the general, but also the persistence of his subordinates. If the Black Banner Army cannot be unified, how can the common people be unified?"
"So, my subordinates think that the general is strictly ordering now. In the future, no one in the army can mention the matter of joining forces with the aristocratic family. Even if they join forces, they can only use it."
He said so much in one breath, his chest heaved violently because he was too excited. In fact, even Wei Xiting himself found it a little inconceivable that he was able to say all these words. He knew that once his words spread, he would offend some people even within the Black Banner Army.
Because even within the Black Banner 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 path.
"Expropriating the benefits from the big family and distributing them to the common people, since the stripping has already begun... you shouldn't stop. The subordinates know that these words are too extreme, but these words are from the bottom of their hearts. When starting a business, if left and right Swaying is the most difficult thing to do. Most people in power look down on ordinary people because they think they are weak and can be bullied. On the surface, this is indeed the case. Compared with the power of those powerful families, the people seem to have no strength to resist."
"but!"
Wei Xiting excitedly said: "If the general takes this path to the end, then he will be supported by the people of the whole world... No! Why the whole world, as long as half of the people in the world are willing to follow the general, why not?"
Because of excitement, his face was a little red.
It was the first time Fang Jie heard someone say such a thing in this era, so he looked at Wei Xiting with a little surprise. Thinking of this kind of thing sometimes has great limitations. What time thinks is a trend. Wei Xiting's remarks are obviously against the trend in this era.
"So, what the general should do now is not to cautiously promote the division of land into households, but to publicize it."
After sorting out his thoughts, Wei Xiting said: "The common people know that this is a good thing, but the big family members know that this is not a good thing. Therefore, the general's way of leveling business, the people of the big family must try their best to block it." News, they dare not let the people in other places know about it. Because once they know that the general will distribute the land to the people, the people's hearts will be unstable, and no force will allow the people in their hands to think about it. Another leader."
Fang Jie nodded: "Continue 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 common people don't know, they must let the common people know. Not to mention other places, the Southwest Dao, Huangyang Dao has been exhausted In the hands of the general, Pingshang Dao has also been stabilized. Beihui Dao, Nanhui Dao, Yongbei Dao, these three roads are still controlled by the aristocratic family. 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 ways know how well the people of Huangyang Dao and Ping Shang Dao are doing!"
Wei Xiting said: "Special teams should be dispatched and distributed in various paths. These people don't need strong cultivation, or even great loyalty. They can be ordinary people, anyone can do it. Send them in batches to other Go to each way, spread the benefits of the generals dividing the fields into households, so that the minds of the people of the three ways will be alive... What if these people are arrested? There is no need to cover up this matter."
Fang Jie's eyes changed slightly: "And then?"
"It can be 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 sends troops out of the southwest in the future, these people will How can swords and soldiers face each other? Most likely they are welcome along the road!"
…
…
Wei Xiting's thinking is unconstrained.
After Fang Jie asked Sun Kaidao to leave, the civil servants in his hand became even more stretched. When starting a business, most of them relied heavily on generals. This is especially true in the Black Banner Army. It is not difficult to find a general who can fight well, but it is not easy to find a capable minister who can rule the world. Dugu Wenxiu was promoted by Fang Jie during the past few days, and she is already in charge of her own side, but it is obviously not enough to have only one Dugu Wenxiu.
Wei Xiting's fault was not serious in the first place, Fang Jie planned to reprimand him a few words, just deduct half a year's salary, and let him stay in Qingshan County as county magistrate. But now Fang Jie regretted it, he knew that he obviously underestimated Wei Xiting. Fang Xie understood Sun Kaidao's temperament. For so long, almost none of Sun Kaidao's civil servants has made a head start in the Black Banner Army, precisely because Sun Kaidao is jealous.
He doesn't want his subordinates to stand out, he must try his best to secure the first position among civil servants. It's just that Fang Xie took most of Sun Kaidao's rights back later, and in addition to the fact that a large number of civil servants were required to govern the place when the business road was initially established, they were all split up and assigned.
Fang Jie has been recruiting talents, but because he does not have the support of a wealthy family behind him, most talented and learned people are unwilling to come to the Southwest, and talents in the Southwest are also unwilling to follow Fang Jie. Because they don't think that Fang Xie's actions can be successful in the end, Fang Xie is too aggressive, and he does not hesitate to offend the world's aristocratic families, they are afraid that following such a person will not end well in the end.
So since the Black Banner Army went south, Fang Jie really didn't recruit many talents available to him.
Originally, Fang Xie thought that Zhang Xiu could be worthy of a heavy responsibility, but this person's vision is too shallow, and his view of the overall situation is too weak. He can be a county magistrate or even a county guard, which can make a party safe and govern.
Now that Wei Xiting appeared in front of Fang Jie, how could he allow such a person to stay in Qingshan County as the county magistrate
Fang Jie sat down on the chair, took a sip of tea and asked, "If, according to what you said, we send a large number of secret spies into various provinces, even Jiangnan, even if the people can know my benefits, won't it force those who were originally Those who waited and watched immediately opposed me? Now the big families of Beihui Dao, Nanhui Dao, and Yongbei Dao, these three Dao families, are under pressure and dare not break up with me. But once this matter starts to be done, these people will Get ready to die."
"General!"
Wei Xiting said: "Why should the general worry about these things? My subordinates have said before that this road is the most afraid of hesitation. Since the general has already ordered killing, why should he care about killing a few more? The family of the three ways will inevitably be forced to rebel, but Even if you don't force them, will they continue to be obedient?"
"There has always been a saying that nothing can be done..."
Wei Xiting shook his head and said: "But this matter can only be done absolutely. It is absolutely necessary to let the common people know that the general is on the side of the common people and will never compromise with the family. Only in this way can we completely leave That second way."
Fang Xie was silent for a while and then nodded: "If I entrust you with this matter, you might be able to do it well?"
"Subordinates can!"
Wei Xiting nodded immediately: "This subordinate has already thought it over carefully, and has a clue on how to do this. Just arrange it according to the method you have thought out, and soon the people in the other three realms will start to look forward to the general Go early. And…”
Wei Xiting continued: "The general wants to launch troops against Nanyan. Isn't this an offensive move? If the people of Nanyan know the benefits of the general, they will not help Murong shame to 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 civilian affairs, your talents are not in military affairs."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Wei Xiting's eyes, as if the other party's solution immediately blocked his words, and he was a little unwilling. How can a person like him not know what is the most important position in the Black Banner Army now. As a civil servant, no matter how good your performance is, it is difficult to stand out. But once you enter the army, you can climb up quickly. For example, Dugu Wenxiu, this person is now indispensable in the Black Banner Army.
"disappointed?"
Fang Jie glanced at him and asked indifferently.
Wei Xiting was obviously taken aback, and quickly leaned over: "Subordinates dare not!"
"You can't be too greedy, you have already made me notice you."
Wei Xiting's face changed drastically, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
"Subordinate...subordinate...Please punish the general, this subordinate is presumptuous."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "Only when a person has a positive heart can he have the power to make progress. But you can't be too greedy. If you are too greedy, you will be disgusted by others. Only when you do a good job, you will get what you deserve. Do you understand?" ?”
Wei Xiting's expression kept changing, he didn't dare to look into Fang Jie's eyes.
"You fell in with me, and you said so much, but it wasn't what you thought at all, but what you guessed I was thinking."
Fang Jie said in a flat tone: "Without Sun Kaidao pressing you down, you naturally want to stand out like Dugu Wenxiu. Because you know that you have talent in your heart, you will definitely be able to do great things. But you must be unwilling to be appointed as the county magistrate of Qingshan later. Right. How long will it take for a county magistrate, no matter how good his political performance is, to step up in the future? You can’t wait. In today’s chaotic world, 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 the division of land to households. You speculated on my thoughts and thought of a lot along with my thoughts. Right?"
With a plop, Wei Xiting knelt down.
"I like people who want to climb up, because they will work hard. But such people often have a shortcoming and are easy to sway. Today they can treat me like this, and tomorrow they may treat others like this..."
Fang Jie stood up, walked to him and patted him on the shoulder: "You distributed the land to the He people, but you deliberately didn't report it. It's just to let the people of the Xiao Riding School know about it, and then I can know about it. You Be confident, you have been preparing for so long, as long as you see me, you will definitely impress me, right?"
"Subordinates should be damned..."
Wei Xiting just kowtowed, but couldn't find an excuse.
"You impress me."
Fang Jie walked to the door and smiled: "From now on, work with me."
