"Go on."
Lu Ming accepted the flattery of the other party calmly, and the emperor also liked to hear flattery.
There are many ministers under him. If there are capable ministers, there will naturally be sycophants. It is also a good thing to occasionally listen to others singing praises to oneself. "The demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty was due to the loss of control over the local area.
Who said that the imperial court appointed county magistrates, but which magistrate should not look at the faces of local wealthy families?
And who can take the people scattered outside the city seriously?
Since the arrival of Emperor Ling, buying and selling officials has become a common practice, and those who take office are all greedy. How can such a dynasty survive? "
Fan Li can be considered risk-taking. If he wants to be reused, he must know how to let his leaders see his shining points.
"As expected, after Tao Zhugong, there are no empty scholars under the great reputation.
Okay! "
Lu Ming nodded, acknowledging him.
If you can clearly see that the Eastern Han Dynasty fell at the hands of powerful people, you can be considered as having two brushes.
Besides, there is another very important point. Fan's family is not considered a powerful family, it can only be regarded as a family.
A powerful person controls power, that's what a powerful person is.
Keep all the good things for yourself and give the bad ones to others. This is the clan.
"Since you have great talent, sir, why don't you become an official?
What talents do you have, sir, and what are you good at? Tell me everything. "
As soon as Lu Ming waved his fishing rod, a big fish took the bait and threw it into the waterlogged fish basket.
"In the college, we pay attention to one principle: teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
The same goes for officials, who adapt to local conditions. "
"Do whatever you have the ability to do. Doctors treat diseases, soldiers go into battle to kill the enemy, and merchants sell supplies. It all depends on your ability. Fan Li, I can use you, but do you have this ability?"
Now is no longer an era when people are hungry for talents. The war has passed.
He is also a ninety-five-year-old, an emperor!
Then we can find another way to recruit talents.
Fan Li's expression became cautious at this time.
He knows that what he will do in the future and what position he will hold depends on now.
"May I ask what your Majesty's wish is, do you want to live and work in peace and contentment, or do you want to expand your territory?"
"Before fighting against external forces, one must first settle within. This saying is not necessarily true.
But it must be done now, there are too many wealthy families.
They control the power and land, and ride on the heads of the people to dominate and dominate, causing public resentment to boil. The court is responsible for all this infamy, and I am responsible for it! Haha, who is worthy of the emperor? "
Lu Ming looked into Fan Li's eyes. He said it so straightforwardly. Can Fan Gai understand?
"During the Warring States Period, the Qin State had Shang Yang.
In today's peaceful and prosperous Qin State, can you, Fan Li, be there? "
Fan Li was a little shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "The common people are willing to help your majesty gather all your strength with the court and your majesty's hand."
"So, do you have a plan?"
Lu Ming was interested.
He wanted to see if the so-called people after Tao Zhugong who could inherit Fan Li's name were capable.
Is it because the reputation is so great that it's hard to live up to it, or is it because the reputation is so good that it's just too good to be true?
After all, the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by beheading.
Fan Li was a little nervous. He forced himself to calm down, then took the boiling kettle and made tea.
Use the time of making tea to think and organize language.
Success or failure depends on this one move. He must seize this opportunity and make Tao Zhugong's name loud and clear again.
"Your Majesty has opened an academy to cultivate talents and be loyal to Your Majesty. This is the foundation.
Nowadays, there are aristocratic families in every place, but the common people are not talented. Over the years, the family has been doing business and got to know the families in various counties in Jiangdong, Jingzhou, Jingnan, Zhongyuan and Jiaozhou. These aristocratic families all control the lifeblood of the local area. As long as an official takes office and does not collude with them, he will not be able to do it at all. Government orders cannot even leave the yamen. "
Lu Ming listened quietly.
This is true.
There are many unruly people in poor mountains and rivers. In other words, where transportation is inconvenient and the army cannot reach, there will be no deterrence.
They will be unscrupulous, so building roads and allowing the army to pass quickly is the right way.
"Even if you knock down a family, if you can't fill the gap.
Then if the Li family falls, the Zhang family will appear to fill the gap. If the Zhang family falls again, the Liu family will appear.
And the filling thing lies in people! "
When Fan Li said this, his eyes flashed with brilliance. This was what he was going to prepare.
"Mainly composed of students from the Royal Academy, supplemented by rangers from other places.
The foreign ranger has no foundation, but he is proficient in the ways of the market of the three religions and nine streams, and can quickly figure out the ways.
Except for the aristocratic families who are unwilling to let go of power, this cooperation can firmly control the local area. "
"The common people have seen the cement road invented by His Majesty. If every main road was paved with cement, it would be a great success."
A battalion of troops was sent to accompany the officials on the tour to shock March and help them take control of the situation.
No matter how difficult a family is to deal with, it will become easier to deal with.
The so-called fearlessness means not crying until you see the coffin. "
"Get rid of its influence and take back the power.
This is the first step, supplemented by good ministers and governance, this is the second step.
The last step is to ennoble the princes, which is not hereditary, but to divide and rule by extending favors.
This makes the family powerless and powerful.
Give them a way to survive and smoothly transfer power. This is the third step! "
Lu Ming picked up the teacup, looked at the steaming tea, looked at the lake, and then looked at Fan Li: "I will leave this matter to you, focusing on Jingzhou, Jingnan, Jiaozhou, Jiangdong and other places. Can you do it to reduce the power of local wealthy families, gather power, and centralize power?" "I am willing to serve your Majesty. If a commoner unfortunately dies, please leave a queen for the Fan family."
Fan Li stood up solemnly, then knelt down and bowed deeply to Lu Ming.
This kind of thing is to harvest the landowner. It is something that offends people and will lead to a miserable death.
But if you do it well, you can directly become a god. It depends on whether the person in power is strong or not.
After taking it all together, Fan Li felt that Lu Ming rose out of the wilderness, made steady progress at every step of his development, and had a tough mind that was beyond ordinary people.
Judging from the previous situation, no one could help but start a war everywhere, but Lu Ming did not. He just endured it, stabilized the rear, used strong national power to fight an upright decisive battle, and used his strength to win people over.
Conspiracies can be cracked, but conspiracy cannot be solved.
Such a person must be able to protect him from accidents.
If it were the former Ling Emperor, Fan Li would not be able to say this even if his head was kicked by a donkey, because the Ling Emperor did not have the responsibility and the ability.
As the same emperor, whether he has power in his hands and whether he has a strong character are all things that ministers need to consider.
