Chapter 85: The United Front


As an European emperor, although Liu Xiu felt that he was lucky, he was far from the point where he would not die no matter what he did.

After all, fate is visible, and there is only one.

Luck is invisible and cannot be used at critical times.

Therefore, Liu Xiu felt that if Wang Mang read history, he would most likely send someone to kill him, so it was very necessary to learn some life-saving skills.

"Isn't it very safe in the era that Senior Brother Liu Bei lived in?"

Wang Mang heard Liu Xiu's words and asked with concern.

"Yes."

Liu Xiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The world is in chaos, warlords are fighting, and human lives are at stake, so we have to learn how to save our lives."

"I see."

Wang Mang wiped himself, and then said to Liu Xiu, "Although my martial arts skills are average, I have also learned to ride horses and archery since I was a child.

Do you need me to teach you?"

"No need" Liu Xiu waved his hand quickly.

"Okay, Wang Mang, you don't have to worry about this matter."

Jing Xunze looked at Li Xiu and knew that the child was really scared.

So he said softly, "It's true that Shi Shi is good at life-saving Kung Fu.

But you can't learn it in just a few weeks.

So after a few days, Shi Shi will come up with a good idea to help you solve your troubles."

"Teacher, what should I study now?"

Liu Xu asked and asked Xunze.

"You don't have to rush to learn anything recently.

You can move around freely for a few days."

Ming Xunze felt that it would be useless to teach Liu Xiu anything before he could deal with Wang Mang, so he let Liu Xiu continue to move freely.

It just so happened that Liu Xiu didn't want to stay with Wang Mang.

When he heard Xunze being called, he immediately stood up and left the classroom.

"Teacher, is this Senior Brother Liu Bei the one who reestablished the Han Dynasty in Shu at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

When Wang Mang saw Liu Xiu leaving, he opened his mouth to express his doubts to Xunze.

"Yes."

Jing Xunze said to Wang Mang, "Because the heroes were divided at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, even if he had the opportunity to come to modern times to study, it would be difficult to defeat many opponents backed by wealthy families.

So he is very confused now and doesn't know what knowledge he should learn."

"No one from a wealthy family is good."

Wang Mang said through gritted teeth.

Well, it looks like Wang Mang has completely betrayed his class.

I don’t know how Da Miao brainwashed Wang Mang.

In the original history, Wang Mang personally killed his three sons after he became emperor.

The reasons are all very simple.

One is because he killed his maid, the other is because he spilled blood in front of his door, and the other is because he plotted to kill his father.

In other words, in order to build his ideal prosperous age, Wang Mang has completely disowned his relatives.

This is difficult to understand from a normal person's perspective.

But if Wang Mang is regarded as a pure revolutionary warrior, then there will be no sense of violation.

"In a sense, wealthy families are indeed not beneficial to the country.

But before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the emergence of wealthy families was indeed unavoidable due to reasons such as the popularity of culture.

In your era, it is unrealistic to completely eliminate wealthy families.

But you can reduce their power, inhibit their development, and prevent them from squeezing the living space of civilians too quickly. " "Teacher, what should I do?"

Wang Mang's eyes lit up when he heard Xunze being called.

“The first thing to do is to centralize power.”

He asked Xunze to stand up and open the blackboard, and then said to Wang Mang, “The reason why aristocratic families have great power is because the central government cannot completely control the local area, which allows these big families to take advantage of it.

This is like a strategic military location.

If you don't occupy it, others will definitely occupy it.

It is precisely because of the central government's weakness at the local level that wealthy families gradually develop and grow.

Since ancient times in China, there has been a saying that imperial power did not extend to counties.

This was indeed unavoidable before modern times.

But your problem in the Han Dynasty was particularly serious.

It’s not just that the imperial power no longer extends to the county; it’s that the imperial power no longer extends to the county.

In other words, once the power of the central government goes beyond the direct jurisdiction of the imperial capital, it can only affect the county level at most.

If the county governor appointed by the central government wants to manage a county, he must rely on aristocratic families. " "So, if you want to suppress the wealthy families, the first thing you have to do is to centralize power."

Wang Mang asked.

"Yes, and also wrong."

Ask Xunze to continue writing and drawing on the blackboard, “First of all, we need to understand what the central government is made up of: people who understand cultural knowledge and have good cultural qualities.

And these talents basically come from noble families.

In other words, if you want to rely on the centralized power to suppress the wealthy families, it is equivalent to letting the wealthy families suppress themselves.

This is impossible to achieve. " "Establish an examination system, recruit children from poor families from the private sector, and fill the central government.

Then use these people to centralize power, and then suppress wealthy families."

Wang Mang immediately understood the meaning of calling Xunze.

"Yes" Xunze applauded, "The idea is right.

But you have not considered the difficulty of the actual operation.

There may be many talents in poor families, but they are far inferior to wealthy families in terms of quantity and quality.

There is no doubt about it.

Therefore, in a short period of time, you will not be able to find enough talents to replace the positions of wealthy families. " He asked Xunze to knock on the blackboard to signal Wang to focus.

He was about to get to the point.

"You have to eat food one bite at a time.

Things have to be done one by one.

So before you suppress the wealthy family, you must first understand that the power of the wealthy family is far greater than the power you say you have.

So you can't push all the wealthy families to the opposite side at the beginning.

Rather, we need to suppress some and win over others.

The aristocratic families are not monolithic.

There must also be conflicts among them.

For example, the aristocratic families in remote areas will definitely look down on the aristocratic families in the central area.

Because the aristocratic families in remote places also have the responsibility to guard the place and prevent invasion from outside.

It can be said that they play a part role in the country.

The aristocratic families in the central area not only control most of the country's resources, but they are not responsible for guarding the local area.

Therefore, you need to win over the aristocratic families in peripheral areas and kill the ones that are causing the greatest harm first.

Of course, how to operate it is also a very complicated subject, and the name of this subject is: United Front."

He asked Xunze to write the words "United Front" heavily on the blackboard.

"Okay, teacher, I will study this subject this week."

Wang Mang knew that he could stay here for four weeks, and that history would change accordingly every time he went back.

So this week, as long as he learns the art of united front, he can go back and test all the aristocratic families in the world one by one, and find out who can be won over, who needs to be attacked, and who is stubborn and needs to be completely eliminated.

By the next week, he can use these experiences to let go of the centralized authority.

United front is a very profound and practical knowledge.

Basically, if you have learned this knowledge, you can understand why our party has grown from a small team of dozens of people at the beginning to a ruling party that manages the entire country.

Of course, the power Wang Mang can control is much stronger than when our party first started.

Moreover, Wang Mang’s goals are much smaller than those of our party.

Therefore, Xunze was confident that he could train Wang Mang within a week.

As for how to prevent Wang Mang from intercepting and killing Liu Xiu in advance after learning the truth of history, Xunze didn't have a better way.

Because for a person like Wang Mang, who was originally doing things to change his destiny against nature, he would definitely not believe in such a thing as the Son of Destiny.

Even if Liu Xiu's destiny was strong enough, Wang Mang would still give it a try.

But the good news now is that Liu Xiu can come to Xunze twice.

Therefore, even if Wang Mang really kills Liu Xiu after returning, Xunze still has a chance to change this history.

So the last thing Liu Xiu learned from Xunze this week was only some simple mathematical symbols, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and the equal sign.

Since Liu Xiu's numbers can be promoted, these mathematical symbols can naturally be spread along with Liu Xiu's numbers, which is very beneficial to the development of ancient mathematics and economy.

The busy week passed quickly.

On Friday afternoon, Xunze brought Wang Mang and Liu Xiu to the classroom.

"Wang Mang."

Before Wang Mang left, he asked Xunze to think about it and felt that he still had to mention Liu Xiu's matter to Wang Mang.

"Teacher, please tell me."

When Wang Mang saw Xunze calling him, he quickly turned around to face Xunze.

"Since you have read through history, you must also know that it was Liu Xiu who defeated you in the end.

So do you have any intention of killing Liu Xiu in advance after you go back this time?"

"Yes, a little bit."

Wang Mang replied, "But please rest assured, teacher, I won't care too much about this matter.

It would be better if Liu Xiu could be killed in advance, but I won't mind too much if he can't."

You don't mind, I do Liu Xiu on the side was so frightened that he almost jumped up when he heard what Wang Mang said.

"Actually, you don't need to pay attention to Liu Xiu at all."

Jing Xunze looked at Wang Mang and said, "Since ancient times, times have created heroes.

Liu Xiu was able to defeat you because the world was in chaos at that time and rebels were everywhere.

Even if you killed Liu Xiu, there were still Li Xiu and Wang Xiu.

So if you can stabilize the domestic situation and prevent the outbreak of a large-scale uprising, Liu Xiu is just a farm boy, which is not enough evidence. " Yes, yes, I am really just a farm boy.

I have never thought about being an emperor or anything like that.

After hearing Xunze's words, Liu Xiu looked at Wang Mang nervously, fearing that he would not accept Xunze's suggestion.

"Mang understands."

Wang Mang felt that what Xunze said made sense, so he nodded in agreement. call.

Liu Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wang Mang agreed to the proposal of calling Xunze.

Of course, he would not be so naive as to think that he would be safe now.

He has secretly made up his mind to be ready to run away at any time after returning.

After Wang Mang and Liu Xiu left, they asked Xunze to go back to the bedroom to prepare dinner for Zhao Keer.

When school time came, Zhao Keer also came over for dinner on time.

"Ke'er."

Jing Xunze asked Zhao Ke'er curiously, "What did Liu Xiu say to you this week that caused you to ignore the new junior brother?"

"Liu Xiu said that Wang Mang's father was a wealthy family in their village and had a close relationship with the village chief's family.

Liu Xiu's father wanted to run for village chief this time.

Wang Mang felt that Liu Xiu's family had nothing to do with them.

They were not close, so he would definitely not turn against them when he became the village chief, so he started to cause trouble secretly.

Liu Xiu said that although he had not been home for several years because he went out to study.

But if I still call him Liu Xiu, Wang Mang will definitely recognize him.

You might even bully him when the time comes.

You see Wang Mang is so tall, Liu Xiu will definitely not be able to defeat him.

So Liu Xiu asked me to call him Liu Bei so that I could conceal my identity and avoid being bullied. " Well, Liu Xiu is actually right.

After all, the emperor and the village chief have the same nature, but the places they manage are different in size.

However, such a story can only be used to coax Zhao Keer.

Others will definitely find it strange when they hear it
