Seeing that Lu Ren was getting more and more boundless, Shirley was also a little crying and laughing, but Lu Ren became more and more energetic the more he talked...... But you can't blame Lu Ren for anything at this point, because Lu Ren has always had too many thoughts in his heart, but once upon a time, he had the opportunity to let Lu Ren say all these words?

Seeing Lu Ren change his tone again, he continued: "What's next...... We might as well compare the current Lao Cao to Jiang / Guang / head at that time, and I am like the young marshal Zhang Xueliang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Shirley was dumbfounded: "What do you say?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Jiang/Guang/Tou waved his army to the north after Zhang Zuolin's death, and encountered a life-and-death battle in a few battles, if it wasn't for Zhang Xueliang to send troops from the Northeast to support, Jiang/Guang/Tou might have died long ago!" But what did Jiang Guang do after he became the chairman? Externally, it is a passive war of resistance, and internally, it is ...... Hum! The four major families are desperately collecting money, and the Hunan army and Sichuan army under the command of Jiang/Guang/Tou are all ghosts, and few are willing to really contribute, and even Jiang/Guang/Tou himself just wants those factions to be cannon fodder, and then retain the strength of their descendants. What is the end result? No one is going to fight the battle that should be fought!

"Let's compare it again, if Lao Cao is compared to Jiang/Guang/head, then Sun Quan and Liu Bei will undoubtedly be those factions with one set on the face but another behind the other. There is really something going on, Sun Liu will definitely rebel as soon as possible, and then there will be another war. Turning back to us, what if I help Lao Cao unify? An unsuccessful and incomplete unified pattern might as well continue to be divided. Because of maintaining such a divisive situation, in order not to be swallowed up by other forces, those in power who have some insight must be kind to the people in their own territory, and the people's lives will be better because of this.

"Take Zhang Xueliang as an example, I admit that Zhang Shaoshuai is a patriotic general, but his approach goes against Zhang Zuolin's original intention. In fact, after Zhang Xueliang sent troops from the Northeast, the defense of the Northeast became a lot empty, which gave little Japan an opportunity to take advantage of. And what about Jiang/Guang/Head? Although Zhang Xueliang helped the bald head to become a thing, the most taboo thing for the same bald head is Zhang Xueliang, who is too negative about the Northeast war situation, and from a military point of view, this should not be a mistake that a bald head will make. In contrast, I am more inclined to be bald because he wants to use external forces to suppress or even eliminate Zhang Xueliang's influence in the Northeast.

"Alright, now turn to mine. If I simply help Lao Cao completely unify in a region, it is actually like Zhang Xueliang helping Jiang/Guang/Head. Lao Cao and Jiang/Guang/Tou are both heroic-type characters. So although my current strength and prestige can't be compared with Zhang Xueliang, I believe that if I insist on helping Lao Cao unify, I will never be much better than Zhang Xueliang.

"This is still my own end, and in terms of the overall situation, heroes like Sun Quan and Liu Bei are still there, and they are all people who can win people's death, if I am too eager to complete the unification of a certain family's royal power, it will basically be equivalent to Zhang Xueliang leaving the northeast lightly, and losing checks and balances on the major warlords, and the situation caused by it is likely to only become more chaotic."

Shirley lowered her head and thought for a long time, then hesitated: "Master, do we really have that much effect?" ”

Lu Ren shrugged: "I don't know, these are just my personal conclusions from my own repeated thinking about historical materials." Let's put it this way, let's say that we only have a few percentage points of shareholders in a company, and Cao, Liu and Sun are roughly equal in the struggle for the hegemony of the company. ”

Shirley was lost in thought.

Lu Ren looked up at the sky, then turned his head to Shirley and smiled: "I was so troubled by your sentimentality that I said so many things, and it was a mess...... Okay, okay, I'll summarize it at the end. Shirley, do you know what kind of position I set for myself after thinking about so many things? ”

Shirley shook her head: "Where would I know?" ”

Lu Ren said: "The position I set for myself is a balance, a guardian, and a guide, but I am not the ruler." ”

Shirley was once again stunned by Lu Ren, and after being stunned for a long time, she asked puzzled: "Checks and balances?" Guard? Steer? Master, what do you think of all this? ”

Lu Ren said: "The so-called checks and balances...... Well, to put it simply, it is to check and balance the so-called absolute power of the royal family. Shirley, don't look at me like that, I'm serious. I've said a lot about this before, and I don't want to dwell on it anymore. In the end, I will only say that when those of them really complete the reunification and have absolute power in their hands, because there is no outside pressure, then it means that they will start to become corrupt. And my purpose is to be an existence of external pressure, so that they can't relax.

"As for the Guardians...... It's a bit hard to say. My idea is to use the checks and balances of many parties, so that each family does not dare to stand on its own, and still has to insist on its own identity as a Hanchen in terms of political concepts. Of course, the so-called Han family also belongs to the royal family, but because the royal power of the Han family has long been decayed, it is no longer close to the so-called absolute power, so it meets the requirements in my heart. And our insistence on being the people of the Han Dynasty is more often a kind of faith and consciousness.

"In my opinion, as long as this belief and consciousness remain in the minds of the people, a centripetal force will be formed in the end, and then they will think about how to better unify the country, and at the same time, everyone will think about how to make the country more stable and developing.

"Further, the invasion of the northern alien race continues, especially after a few decades, the strength of the northern alien race will further grow. In the original history, starting from the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, followed by the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, etc., to put it simply, it is generally known as the Five Hu Chaohua, and it was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that the Chinese people slowly regained control of China, which is hundreds of years before and after! ”

Saying that, Lu Ren smiled at Xue Li: "Do you know why I deliberately cultivated Murong Ziying and Tuoba Jade?" That is, I am ready to take the initiative to attack the northern alien race when the conditions are ripe. Also, why did I get involved with Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang? I read it by the way when I was about to take down the Northeast to make up for my homework. The Northeast of this era is not in the territory of the Han Court, but is the hometown of some nomads in the north, and due to the limitation of knowledge of the times, the world thinks that the Northeast is a bitter and cold and poor land, but they do not know that there is actually fertile land and rich resources, and after our development has reached a certain level, it meets the needs of our next development. ”

Shirley also smiled: "The forestry resources in the Northeast are huge, and on the other hand, all kinds of minerals are also very rich, so it is indeed a good place. Again, master, don't you want to go to the Northeast to dig for oil? ”

Lu Ren was stunned: "Can you dig it?" ”

Shirley said: "It's not difficult to dig it out, in fact, according to the records of my historical materials, the ancients can dig up a lot with very primitive methods, and the key problem is the refining of oil." With our current chemical capacity, it will take at least about ten years to train a large number of relevant chemical personnel. ”

Lu Ren thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Let's put it first, some things coming out too early may not necessarily be a good thing, but it would be good if you could really make some motorcycles or cars and the like...... Let's go back to the topic just now. The Last Leader...... Let's put it this way, the current era is the era when the scholar class is at its peak, and the three families of Cao, Liu and Sun have no choice but to rely on the strength of the scholar class, and then the scholar class will make a lot of bad things.

"But it's the three of them, and we don't have that here. For many years, we did not have a real gentry class in the population because we mainly sheltered displaced people from all over the world, and I have been deliberately cultivating the middle class. The three families of Cao, Liu and Sun are both using and suppressing the scholar class, but none of the three of them have any good way to deal with the scholar class, and the method I use here can just give them a hint, that is, the public college we are using and the examination system that we are preparing.

"The scholar class can succeed because they control the official career, so the talents used by the state can only be selected from the scholar class. Chen Qun's later Jiupin Zhongzheng system was actually trying his best to maintain the privileges of the scholar class, but unfortunately Cao Pi reached this political deal with the scholar because he was anxious to become the emperor, and the scholar class also made the country worse and worse by virtue of this privilege.

"The guidance I have given them is to give them the way I use here. And not only let the people of Cao, Liu and Sun understand that they don't need to rely on the Shi clan, but also let the civilian class understand that they don't need to rely on the Shi clan. If this is the case with me, the very roots of the noble class will be destroyed in advance, and many bad things may be avoided as a result.

"And we're actually already starting to do that. The circulation of printed products and the cheapening of knowledge works can help the ordinary class master knowledge and break the monopoly of cultural knowledge on the noble class. At the same time, with the help of printed products, we can also spread some advanced ideas and theories, and slowly improve the ideological ability of the common class. In this way, when the time comes, the main trend of thought will naturally change. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ren's words finally stopped. Looking up at the sky for a long time, Lu Ren suddenly laughed at himself: "Alas, I'm also thinking too much." With so much mess, how much can I actually do? But Shirley, let's say we have to have a goal of our own, right? Even if we can't achieve this goal at all, at least there is a way forward. And with this direction, I won't be so lost. (To be continued.) )
