Qin Li remained motionless, looking at Qi Shan expressionlessly, and said calmly: "Qi Yuanliang, do you mean that this also includes your pride as a scholar and strategist? It is really surprising to hear this from you."
Others may not know about the "evil plot" a few years ago, but Qin Li has worked with him for a while and understands him.
Qishan hates it most when people talk about these things.
How disgusting is it
A subordinate offended Qishan with this and embarrassed him at a banquet. Qishan did not get angry on the spot, and even smiled and joked with the subordinate. About a month later, when everyone had forgotten about it, the subordinate was exposed for corruption and treason, and committed suicide after being imprisoned.
Their property was confiscated and their three clans were exiled.
Outsiders just think that this person deserves it.
He really deserved it, but he secretly collected evidence and exposed it, and finally went to the prison to scare people to death. There must be someone involved. Isn't it interesting that Qishan said this now
Qi Shan sneered: "Qin Gongsu, do you really understand me?"
Qin Li said nothing.
"A leaf blocks your view of the mountain." Qi Shan continued, "You don't understand at all, but you are self-righteous and think you know a lot. Do you really know who Qi Yuanliang is? Do you really know who the person standing in front of you is?"
As we all know, there are two ways of praying for goodness.
One is to kill the lord in order to pit him against his master.
This is also known to only a few people.
The second is less well known.
In other words, those who knew about it thought that it was Qi Yuanliang's spiritual power, with a nearly perfect disguise.
This scholar's way is called a blind spot. Outsiders see the appearance, character and behavior of Qishan, which are just the tip of the iceberg of his disguise.
Qin Li intuitively felt that Qi Shan's words were full of hidden meaning.
But he didn't have time to work on those details right now.
"These details are not important."
He only needed to know that Qi Yuanliang standing in front of him was an enemy, an opponent who needed to be carefully guarded against. That was enough.
"You will not be lent the people I brought with me." Qin Li looked indifferent, and pretended to drive the guest away. "Zhao Dayi owes Shen Youli a life, but we don't! Even if the lord orders help, I will strongly advise against it!"
Qishan refused to leave.
"Dissuade? How do you dissuade?"
"This move competes with the common people for profit! It may seem beneficial in the short term, but in the long run, it will make the common people lazy and neglect farming." Qin Li couldn't help but suspect that this was also one of He Yin's sinister and vicious conspiracies, to alienate the people without bloodshed.
The efficiency of a commoner family farming is not comparable to that of a third-class hairpin. Instead of going to war, the warriors compete with the common people for limited farmland and plant their own fields. What should be done with the huge number of common people
How do they deal with it
"What a sinister and vicious plot!" Qin Li had an expression that said, "I've seen through your plan." "You're using this to instigate brave warriors to fight with common people for land, which is bound to lead to disaster!"
Everyone should perform their duties.
Common people should just farm and support their families.
A brave warrior should practice hard and fight on the battlefield.
Only in this way can all parties be stabilized.
Qi Shan was almost laughing at this well-reasoned and logical accusation: "Competing with the people for profit? I will return your words to you exactly as they were - it is really surprising to hear such words coming out of your mouth! I feel much more relieved to have you assisting Wu Zhaode. Because the disaster of the country's demise has not taught you a lesson! You still have the arrogance in your bones!"
“I think my life will end here.”
Qin Li was too arrogant and thought that everything would go according to his guess and that what he saw and heard was the truth.
Qin Li's face suddenly turned cold: "Qi Yuanliang!"
Previously, he only rejected and hated her, but now he had a strong desire to kill her. If Qishan said another nonsense, he would kill her regardless of their friendship. Was he crazy? He was actually using the pain of losing his country to provoke him
Qishan raised his hand and placed it on the hilt of the sword.
He still refused to give in.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Qin Li was so angry that his chest heaved violently, veins popped out on his forehead, and his hand clenched tightly around the hilt of the sword, with his knuckles tense.
Hesitating between the options of drawing the sword and not drawing the sword.
Qi Shan still felt that it was not enough, and continued to rant: "What did you just say, 'In the long run, the common people will become lazy and neglect farming'? Qin Gongsu, you really should have come to He Yin a year ago! How many common people eat jujube, tree bark and Guanyin soil! How many of them can wait for the 'long run' you mentioned! They can't even survive now, and you let people talk about the long run, the future, the hidden dangers, and the common people fighting for farmland with Wudan warriors? Talk about the common people having no land to farm, gathering together to rebel, and shaking the royal regime?"
Qin Li pursed his lips tightly.
Every word Qi Shan said hit his sore spot. Before he could open his mouth to refute, Qi Shan continued to intensify his criticism: "To this day, do you still think that the country is destroyed and the family is ruined because of me, the traitor, or the enemy country taking advantage of the situation? Haha, everything is filthy, only your Qin family is clean—"
Qin Li's face had turned pale.
Obviously he was extremely angry.
His eyes could almost spit out fireworks.
Qishan took a step forward, looking fearless.
"Do you think that if you are given time to slowly plot, and before other royal nobles raise their troops to force the palace, you can support another ruler of the right age, and then stabilize the chaotic situation?"
"Qin Gongsu, how can you be so naive?"
"That king, my former master, was cruel and merciless. He was not satisfied with using placenta to preserve his youth, so he cut open women's babies to use as medicine. He was extravagant by nature. To satisfy his selfish desires, he imposed heavy taxes and collected seven or eight out of ten. He also thought that the money collection was too slow, so he abolished the currency three times, and finally went so far as to mint coins with pebbles. Do you know how many common people were forced to death that year? They were forced to raise troops, but the royal court labeled them "bandits" and sent heavy troops to suppress and kill them. Tyrants like Zheng Qiao were only driven away by troops, but what did the royal court do?"
“Kill them all!”
"The river is blocked, and the red water has been flowing for more than a month!"
Qi Shan mercilessly mocked: "The common people are blind, illiterate, and shallow-minded. They only want to have enough food to eat. They cannot understand the 'far-sightedness' of Qin Gongsu."
Qin Li's anger broke through the critical value after being scolded, but he regained all his rationality: "To temporarily fill your stomach, you planted the seeds of greater evil? This is really what you would do with your 'evil plan', which harms others and does not benefit yourself."
This idea has been floated before - some people have tried to have the Bushidu warriors fight in wartime and farm the land in their spare time, but they soon discovered that the common people could not protect the land against the Bushidu warriors, and this move would only result in more and more landless tenants.
We can only stop it immediately.
Intentionally or unintentionally guide the warriors to focus on their practice.
The battlefield is the stage for them to show their future.
Gu Hong
No matter how wonderful Qishan's words are, for ordinary people, the only difference is dying sooner or later.
"How do you know that evil cannot produce good seeds?"
Qin Li was too lazy to talk to him and looked like he couldn't get any attention. Qi Shan's head was buzzing with pain.
His master gave him a big problem.
Qishan hates dealing with Qin Li the most.
Because this person is too arrogant and stubborn.
Even if others presented facts and reasoned with him, Qin Li only believed what he saw and what he inferred. The problem was that Qin Li was born standing at a destination that ordinary people could not reach. He stood too high. Even if he was willing to look down at the poor world, he could only see the big picture, not the suffering of all living beings, let alone empathize with them.
Qi Shan felt that his mission was going to fail.
Even if he fails, he will still curse loudly.
Let out a deep breath.
Qi Shan sneered, "Qin Gongsu, wasn't it because you couldn't stand the extravagance and corruption of the royal nobles, the internal strife for the throne, the persecution of court officials by relatives and eunuchs, which left the court with no one to use, that you hid in the temple under the pretext of recuperating and practicing?"
Qin Li took a deep breath to suppress his rage.
"So what?"
There is no one in the world who knows Qishan's weak spots as accurately as he does. He can hit them right away and his blood pressure remains high.
Although Qin Li was born into a royal noble family.
However, his branch had no right of succession and was weak, but he had to take sides. After all, being neutral was a mistake. But once he took the wrong side, he would be liquidated when the new king ascended the throne. As the head of this branch, Qin Li simply arranged for someone to read his fate, saying that he would be short-lived and have strange diseases. He could only live in a temple and seek the protection of the Buddha to be safe.
Use this as an excuse to avoid it.
The winner of the battle for the throne is Qishan’s former boss.
At the beginning, he really had the aura of a dominant lord.
He cracked down on corruption, promoted people based on their merits, cut heavy taxes, streamlined tax types, and issued several orders to recruit talented people. However, this was only superficial work. Not long after he took the throne, his true nature began to be exposed, and he did all kinds of evil.
Qin Li was not unaware that the country was about to perish.
But still refused to give up.
"From what I know, before your country was destroyed, 90% of the common people had no land to farm, and the nobles held 80% of the land. Was this also caused by the Wudan warriors fighting with the common people for land? There are so many Wudan warriors, but so few of your royal nobles?"
"Which is worse, in terms of hidden dangers and consequences?"
"Qin Gongsu, what about your long-term planning?"
Qin Li's face turned blue and red after being told this.
"you-"
"Everyone outside knows that I am a malicious person, but—"
Qi Shan opened his palm and showed it to Qin Li.
"This hand has killed a total of 108 people in this life, seven of whom were my lords, one was my enemy, and the remaining 100 were blind bandits and thugs. I estimate that several thousand people died indirectly at my hands. But Qin Gongsu, why don't you look down at your hands, which are so well maintained that there are not even any calluses, and see how many lives you have in your hands? How many of them deserved to die, and how many were common people who were killed directly or indirectly by your naivety! Or do you think that common people are not human beings in your eyes?"
"Then what you said about being a king and advising your former master to love his people like his own children was just bullshit! It was hypocritical and absurd!"
After saying that, he snorted coldly and walked away.
I was muttering in my heart that Tianhai had no hope.
It’s better to fool the people of Shangnan and Yiru.
Just a few steps out of the house, I ran into a frail young man bathed in the moonlight. The young man looked sick, with a slight smile on his lips.
"What are you doing here?" Qi Shan was unhappy.
Gu Chi said: "I'll collect your body."
Qin Li's murderous aura could be felt across half the street. I never expected that Qi Shan could still come out upright.
Pray for goodness: ""
"Haha, don't bother."
Gu Chi saw Qi Shan's eyebrows relaxed and his eyes smiled, and he knew that this guy was in a good mood after he had a tantrum against Qin Li. But - Gu Chi looked towards the house.
Qin Li was probably in a bad mood.
He said, "Qin Gongsu was so angry at you that he vomited blood."
It's not exaggeration, it's a documentary.
Qi Shan grinned and spat inwardly.
"As long as I am not dead, I can explain to Wu Zhaode."
Gu Chi sighed: "Aren't you afraid of scolding people and waking them up?"
Isn't that creating a strong enemy for yourself
Qi Shan was not worried at all, and said with some pride: "Not to mention Qin Gongsu's stubborn temper, it is difficult for him to change his mind. Even if he really thinks it through, what should we be afraid of?"
Qin Gongsu had been plotted against by him several times before.
If the two of them fight, he has a good chance of winning.
If we add the bonus of each lord -
Qishan is confident that he can defeat Qin Gongsu.
Gu Chi: "How are you going to trick Shangnan and Yiru into sending people? Shangnan Gu Ren's sixth brother looks gentle and easy to talk to, but what he thinks in his heart - tsk tsk tsk, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Chao Lian, the twelfth child, is more naive and easy to fool. The people from Yiru should be easier to convince, but they are calculating. I suspect they were calculating spirits in their previous life. I'm afraid they won't work for free."
Qishan felt overwhelmed after hearing this.
He sighed and said, "My lord, you have given me a very difficult problem—"
Gu Chi smiled and said, "So, you admit that you are no longer capable?"
No, let him come.
I guarantee to take care of both Shangnan and Yiru families.
Qishan was furious when he saw someone with a sickly face.
