Yu Yue licked his lips. At this moment, it seemed as if the stench in the toilet was naturally ignored by him. His eyes flashed with excitement and he said, "What can you do to make me powerful again?" What can I give you in return?"

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Having said so much, I think at least we have reached a consensus on one issue, that is, this world should still be a world of aristocratic families and scholars, not just some rude warriors and farmers who farm the land. , we can be equal to us. This inheritance of power and monopoly of knowledge is the foundation of our noble clan, and it is also the legal basis for us to rule and manage the people of the world. Liu Yu wants to let ordinary people replace us, It is destined to be impossible to succeed. Now that his first attempt to make everyone equal has failed, he has also realized that relying on military men to manage the grassroots is unreliable because they have no culture."

"So now he has used the second trick. He wants to set up a school for officials in the land of Qilu, and a school for officials like Lanxiang. It's the same as the one he did in Jingkou before. The purpose is to teach these lower-class people, the illiterate rough men, to teach them how to read and write, and then use them to replace our children and stewards to govern the grassroots."

Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "I've heard of this, huh, our noble family will not allow such a thing to happen. Originally, Xie Hun, Xi Sengshi and I had agreed that they would only wait for me to make a contribution this time. After the victory, several of us descendants from the aristocratic families jointly impeached this matter. Just like the cancellation of the Jingkou descendants last time, this Lanxiang official school was cancelled. Even the powerful landlords in Qingzhou will stand by us. Over here.”

Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, as long as the aristocratic families and noble families unite as one, Liu Yu cannot run this Lanxiang official school. However, now Yu Gong, you must first ensure your power and official position. You If you go back to Jiankang like this, let alone banning this official school, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your own manor. I am a more direct person, so please don't blame me if you don't like to hear it."

Yu Yue sighed: "There are only you and me here, and there is no need to consider my face. The fact is, there is no point in hiding it. My army was taken away by Liu Daogui. Even if I can leave Jingzhou, I have to rely on Wang Zhenzhi's help. Now Is there any way for me to reorganize an army and make contributions in the battle to chase down the demon thieves? Apart from this method, I am afraid there is no possibility for me to take power."

Tao Yuanming nodded: "Exactly, your mistake last time was that you did not communicate enough with the soldiers and broke away from them. However, your life is too good compared to them, so you will be alienated in the army. Otherwise, If your soldiers firmly support you, even if Zhu Chaoshi comes with Liu Daogui's order, he will not be able to capture your army like this, but his subordinates will capture and disarm your soldiers."

Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "Yes, I have been reflecting on this matter these days. Although these things that are eaten inside and outside are really abominable, I do have a lot of things that I have not done well. I am too far away from them. In the past, Xie Wan was also separated from the sergeants in the army, discriminated against them, and was almost killed by his subordinates in the end. If Xie An hadn't interceded, he would have died a long time ago. I seem to be luckier than him this time. At least these subordinates, such as Yu Lesheng They didn’t kill me.”

"So, I have to learn a lesson in the future. If I can have an army again, I will definitely eat and live with them, and eat from the same pot. Isn't it just a few months of suffering in the war? I went out to fight and endured this kind of Compared with the pain of wandering outside, the torture of mosquitoes, snakes and ants, and even risking your life, eating a few simple meals is nothing. Those soldiers can eat this kind of millet steamed buns, and they are already very satisfied. Well, I will eat with them, maybe I can also understand the morale of these soldiers."

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Okay, Mr. Yu, you have been pampered and privileged for decades, and now it's too hard for you to endure hardships like this. Besides, it doesn't mean that you have to eat and live with the sergeants in the same pot. Only when you eat here, they respect you and protect you. Just like you said about Xie An and Xie Wan, Xie An does not eat the same food as the soldiers, but he can get close to the soldiers, chat with them all day long, talk to their parents, and listen to them Their idea was enough to win the support of the sergeants. Moreover, the sergeants talked all day long about things about their hometown, farming, getting married, having children, and allocating fields. I'm afraid it would be difficult for Yu Gong to talk to them. Go down."

A trace of shame flashed across Yu Yue's face, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net shook his head and said: "If that's the case, what can I do? If I can't chat with them, how can I make friends with the military?"

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "So your mistake last time, Mr. Yu, was not that you did not share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but that none of the people you used to manage the soldiers were qualified. Except for Wenbai, who was under your control On the left and right, in addition to your security, there are dozens of other family generals and guards who act like a fox in front of the soldiers. They give orders, beat and scold the soldiers at will, deprive them of their military rations, and even deliberately tease them. Therefore, these guards, When you finally left the army, you killed several people on the spot. If you didn't have so many grudges, how could you be like this?"

Yu Yue murmured: "But they are very submissive in front of me, and they speak with a low eyebrow. Moreover, when I sometimes go to inspect the patrol camp, the soldiers they lead line up for drills in a decent manner." , why do you usually do such things?"

Tao Yuanming sighed: "Because these people's military training and military parade knew in advance that you were coming, so they deliberately did it for you to see. As soon as you left, they lost their good looks towards the soldiers, and the most terrible thing is that they I have made many false promises to the soldiers, such as if you perform well during patrols, they will be given extra meals and equipment, etc. But after you left, they withheld these food, wages and weapons."

"After doing this two or three times, the military morale of your troops was completely lost. If it weren't for the fact that they were deep behind enemy lines and had to unite to survive, I'm afraid your troops would have mutinied before Zhu Chaoshi came. These guards of yours Family generals usually bully superiors and inferiors like this in your Yu family, being submissive in front of you, and hitting those with lower status than them with heavy blows, but you never know about these things."
