In fact, Xi Zhicai really wanted Guo Jia's spiritual talent, but it turned out that Guo Jia's spiritual talent belonged to a unique and special category, and at least Xi Zhicai couldn't use it even if he copied it.
However, although there is no way to use it, Xi Zhicai relied on his own talent to figure out Guo Jia's talent. From this aspect, Xi Zhicai's talent not only has the ability to copy other people's mental talents and use them, but more importantly One thing is that you can get information about other people’s spiritual talents!
Although due to the constraints of Xi Zhicai's own spiritual talent, he can only copy the information of three spiritual talents at a time, but it cannot be used again after ten days. After a long time, others may not know his accurate spiritual talent. Zhicai already knows...
You must know that those with spiritual talents are definitely the best counselors and wise men in the world. Therefore, Xi Zhicai has a considerable advantage in this regard, so Xi Zhicai can also act as a spiritual talent detector when necessary.
Let’s continue talking about Guo Jia’s spiritual talent. This talent is the only talent that Xi Zhicai can copy so far, but cannot use. If using other people’s talents Xi Zhi will feel something is not good, then using Guo Jia’s talent With Jia's spiritual talent, Xi Zhicai felt that he would die!
This spiritual talent, which Xi Zhicai named "Yan Curse", has extremely harsh activation conditions, but its effect is enough to make Xi Zhicai feel terrifying. That is, when the probability of any event occurring is 50%, Guo Jia's choice will affect The direction of reality!
To put it more broadly, it means that when a battle that determines the fate of both sides reaches a stalemate, and the outcome is difficult to determine, in short, all the counselors cannot guarantee who will win and who will lose. The winning rate of both sides is 50%. At that time, Guo Jia's judgment will become the final outcome.
To put it mildly, the Jiangdong family that was crippled by Sun Ce had a half chance of seeking revenge on Sun Ce, and a half chance of killing Sun Ce. Then Guo Jia felt that Sun Ce should take advantage of it, so Sun Ce was eliminated. It was so perverted, although The conditions for activation are so harsh that it is almost helpless, but if it is successfully released when necessary, many troubles will be solved.
The most important thing is that Xi Zhicai discovered that after Guo Jia's spiritual talent was used, it had a strange impact on reality. It did not affect anyone's mind or cause any unreasonable things to achieve the ultimate goal. It was purely because of a series of An accident, a reasonable accident...
It is precisely because of this that Xi Zhicai is envious and jealous of Guo Jia's spirit. No matter how harsh the conditions are, the mental talent is not strong enough, and it is obvious that Xi Zhicai has not found how to solve this problem that seems to be cause and effect. Same talent.
After all, in Xi Zhicai's view, Guo Jia, who chose Liu Bei, will face his lord sooner or later. If Guo Jia is accidentally given a chance to launch his attack, it will be a tragedy. Although Xi Zhicai dared It is guaranteed that Guo Jia has not understood his spiritual talent at all, but what about the accident? What if there is an accident?
Betting five baht on heads and tails, the winner gets wine, and Guo Jia takes away his own wine vat, that's no joke! By the way, every time Xi Zhicai thinks about the time when Guo Jia's spiritual talent was awakening and he did not believe in evil and played with Guo Jia like this, he would feel like I was really stupid!
[Alas, I was still a little too young back then. Maybe Fengxiao would have doubted the actual attributes of his spiritual talent at that time! 】Xi Zhicai stood on the top of the city and thought helplessly, who could have thought of today's situation, because Envy didn't tell him his actual talent attributes, which was really a wise choice.
In Jiangxia City, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu stood on the city gate tower. Because of Yuan Shu's trust in Sun Ce, the power of the entire Jiangxia City was actually in Sun Ce's hands. Sun Ce had already obtained the power to appoint and remove officials from Yuan Shu. Originally, this It was the best time to place one of his own, but neither Sun Ce nor Sun Ce's veterans mentioned this matter. Repaying kindness with hatred is not the personality of these people. Each of them has his own arrogance!
"Humph, Liu Jingsheng is really ignorant!" Sun Ce looked at the information in his hand and sneered. "And this Wang Wei is really lucky that he was not killed by Lu Fengxian! Since he dares to invade our border, I will definitely let Liu Jingsheng lose his troops. !”
After saying this, Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu. He no longer wanted to think about military strategy, power politics and the like. The man beside him could solve any problem. This was something Sun Ce firmly believed in.
"Just go out of the city to meet the enemy and let General Han guard Jiangxia. The strongest force we have is the navy. Whether it is the Han River or the Yangtze River, we will not lose." Zhou Yu said with a smile, not that he looked down on Wang Wei. and Wenpin, but Zhou Yu was confident that he would not lose to anyone in the water battle.
"Okay!" Sun Ce's answer didn't go through his brain. Zhou Yu was so strong in water combat that it almost blinded Sun Ce!
Ever since he defeated Huang Zu with a weak force in seven battles and seven victories at the foot of Jiangxia City and in the Yangtze River, Sun Ce had believed that there were indeed people in this world who knew it. Zhou Yu had never commanded a naval force before, and he was a little stiff at first after getting started. , but after training twice with Huang Zu, they directly defeated the Jingzhou navy, which is known as the best navy in the world...
As for the land battle, Sun Ce felt that his bravery was definitely enough to make the Jingzhou soldiers understand that not everyone can be provoked! Of course, Sun Ce felt that it would be great if one day he could have Lu Bu's fighting power!
Wang Wei and Wenpin, who were marching on the river, had no idea what level of monster they would encounter soon. They were still thinking about how to capture Jiangxia City by relying on the popularity of the people in Jingzhou, but they didn't know that they had already Someone had prepared a plate and planned to serve them all in one pot.
In the east of Qingzhou, a dark and thin man carried a rabbit and returned to the village. He looked at the yellow-faced man sitting in the main seat and said, "Yuan Shao gives this to you."
"Alas, there is no food left in the village. Let's borrow some food." Pei Yuanshao took the hare, his eyes turned red, then he sighed and said to Zhou Cang, "Guan Hai came to inform me two days ago, do you want to go with me?" Let’s go borrow some food with him!”
"Guan Hai!" There was a hint of fear in Zhou Cang's eyes. Among the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, he and Guan Hai were the most capable of fighting. Moreover, the two of them had met each other in their early years when they were under the great virtuous master, but they were different. Zhou Cang was the personal guard, and Guan Hai was the commander-in-chief.
"Old Zhou, tell me, should we borrow food or join Liu Xuande?" Pei Yuanshao looked at Zhou Cang and asked. Although Zhou Cang was much stronger than Pei Yuanshao, it was Pei Yuanshao who commanded the troops in the entire village.
After Zhou Cang hesitated for a long time, he finally sat down on the ground and said, "Take refuge in Liu Xuande. At least Liu Xuande still obeys Daqushuai's faith. Although Daqushuai died, Daqushuai still sacrificed his life for our Yellow Turbans." Found a way out!”
"Ordinary Yellow Turbans just surrender and let go of the past, what about us?" Although Pei Yuanshao asked this, he had no intention of stopping him, "Forget it, send the brothers away. This is how we live our lives in anonymity. People like Daqushuai will eventually It’s not something we can compare to!”
"Brothers can't even open the pot, and there's nothing edible. If we hadn't always had a bite of brothers, they would probably have fled to Liu Xuande's place. Let's go and burn incense for Daqushuai. We Let's surrender together and die!" Zhou Cang stood up and patted the dust on his clothes and said with a bitter look on his face.
"I'll call all the brothers together. After all, our brothers have all seen blood and can be considered good soldiers. If you go, you can join the Qingzhou Army." Pei Yuanshao said with a wry smile. Now that Zhou Cang has made his choice , then he should accompany him. Anyway, it was Zhou Cang who saved him from death, so it would be repayment to accompany Zhou Cang to death.
Under the greetings of his soldiers, Pei Yuanshao's men quickly gathered together, and then under the leadership of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, they burned a stick of incense in front of a wordless tablet.
This is the stele erected by Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao after they learned that Marshal Daqu sacrificed his life for righteousness. However, due to the decline of Qingzhou, they were both illiterate and could not find craftsmen, so they had to erect a stele with nothing and give it to them after a while. A stick of incense to comfort ghosts and gods.
Chen Xi didn't know that this way of worshiping Daqushuai was common among the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and Taishan. Maybe the Yellow Turbans didn't know what Zang Ba looked like, but the Yellow Turbans who surrendered knew that their current life was to go alone. It was earned by death, so they all set up memorial tablets at home to offer sacrifices. As for the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou who did not surrender, they all felt that Daqu Shuai Renyi had set up a monument, and Guan Hai and others also offered incense.
Indeed, even now, even if Zang Ba shows up, those who follow Zang Ba and have seen Daqushuai once or twice are unlikely to recognize Zang Ba, but it does not mean that they have forgotten Daqushuai. On the contrary, they will Daqushuai will always be remembered and incense will last forever. According to current words, although Daqushuai is dead, Daqushuai will always live in their hearts...
Because of this, Daqushuai who died in this way is actually equivalent to the belief of the people transformed by these Yellow Turbans, and is gradually replacing the original Yellow Turban belief - the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao, but compared to Zhang Jiao's "celestial belief" The rebellious belief that "Huang Tian is dead, Huang Tian should stand", the virtue, courage and the indifference of generously serving justice represented by Zang Ba are actually the three most upright views...
If one day someone builds a temple for Daqushuai, Chen Xi will definitely turn a blind eye and pass by. After all, beliefs and sects will appear sooner or later, and instead of believing in some contradictory philosophical concepts, or joining some A sect that makes people degenerate and make it difficult to achieve self-realization. Daqushuai’s belief is not impossible. On the contrary, this belief is very good, very good! A pure hero, a hero who sacrifices his life for righteousness, believe this!
Of course, Chen Xi doesn't know this. If he knew, he would secretly build a temple for Daqushuai. As for whether Zang Ba would feel depressed, Chen Xi would not care about it. Stability in rule is Chen Xi's pursuit!
Think about a sect with Daqushuai as the center and Mencius's sacrifice of life for righteousness and other miscellaneous thoughts as its inner teachings. As soon as it is established, it will have more than a million believers, and then it will pull the tiger skin of Mencius. It seems quite interesting. Sensational!
As for the problem of doctrine, that is not a problem at all. Since ancient times, many doctrines have had problems, but aren't sects also thriving? Looking back and thinking about the rigor of Mencius' thoughts is no joke. Although it is not very good as a religious doctrine, it is not impossible! After all, Confucianism is sometimes called Confucianism, and it’s okay to branch off into the same lineage. There’s nothing wrong with that.
It's a pity that Chen Xi didn't know about these things. Chen Xi rarely went outside Fenggao City. Most of the time, he asked people to understand the situation under the rule. As for small things like offering sacrifices to Daqushuai, everyone turned a blind eye. Yes, naturally no one will tell Chen Xi.
After all, in this era of filial piety, even if Daqushuai's generous and righteous behavior was placed in the hands of Huangfu Song, Li Jun and others who were extremely cruel to the Yellow Turbans, even if they did not agree with his conditions, they would still be given his whole body. , give him a rich burial!
Heroes should be treated like heroes. This is the case in this era, and Daqushuai's style is exactly in line with the concepts of this era, so it convinced the Yellow Turbans and made millions of Yellow Turbans cry!
Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang tried their best to stand upright. Regardless of whether they were hungry or not, they needed to maintain respect in front of heroes. After the defeat of the great sage, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao looked at the bloody wilderness and gave up their original feelings. It was only because their brothers needed a way to survive that they took their men to Qingzhou and became bandits.
But after Daqushuai appeared, the two of them once again picked up their old beliefs. Life and death are just like this. Some people sang generously and tragically, while others complained about others. All the doubts they had once completely dissipated!
Slowly placing a stick of incense in front of the tombstone, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang led everyone to kneel down. Although their faces looked hungry, everyone looked solemnly at the blank tombstone, which represented a person who had passed away. hero.
After the incense was burned in front of the tombstone, everyone stood up. Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao seemed to have put down all their burdens, "Come on, brothers, let's go to Mount Tai and join Liu Xuande!"
"Okay!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly.
All the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou know how Taishan treats ordinary Yellow Turbans. Because of this, many Qingzhou Yellow Turbans no longer work as Yellow Turbans, and instead secretly escape to places near Mount Tai in Qingzhou. After registering there, they can be allocated land and seeds. Change jobs and become common people.
Because of this, the number of Yellow Turbans under many Yellow Turban leaders in Qingzhou has been decreasing. However, except for a few truly violent Yellow Turban leaders, others have also turned a blind eye, including leaders like Guan Hai who hate the army and have taken refuge in the ordinary Yellow Turbans under them. Taishan and Liu Bei pretended not to see it.
Of course, some left and some stayed. Once the people were united, it would be easier to lead the team, so the Qingzhou Yellow Turban did not make any comments about this situation.
As time goes by, the number of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou has begun to decline slightly. Of course, this is also because the Yellow Turbans in central and western Qingzhou have failed to eat and were caught. The Yellow Turbans in eastern Qingzhou are too far away from Mount Tai, but even so, the Yellow Turbans in eastern Qingzhou are still there. Leaving Qingzhou one after another.
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao marched towards Mount Tai with more than a thousand of their men. Although this was only a small Yellow Turban force along the way, it also meant that the forces that initially followed the great sage Zhang Jiao began to actively turn to Liu Bei.
A new round of construction in Fenggao has begun. This time, in addition to Taishan itself, some places in Qingzhou have also started construction. Of course, apart from Fenggao, which is mainly about construction, other places are more about building roads and wells. , mainly building river embankments, bridges and other infrastructure construction.
Chen Xi was still sitting in the Government Affairs Hall drinking tea as before. The latest news about Mi Zhu was that he was rushing back from the Yangtze River. Although he unfortunately encountered a water battle between Sun Ce and Wenpin, given that Mi Zhu was now relatively famous, Zhou Yu only accepted one Mi Zhu was released after paying the toll. As for now, he is probably not in Yuzhou but in Xuzhou. It will take another ten days to come back.
As for the original plan to bring the Wu family into the merchant alliance, it naturally collapsed. Wu Yi had no choice but to insist that if he was given the position of leader of the merchant alliance, the Wu family would join the merchant alliance, otherwise there would be no need to discuss it.
Mi Zhu definitely didn't believe this. After all, if the Wu family was really that stubborn, they would definitely not become one of the top five wealthy businessmen. And if they were really that stubborn, why would they talk to Mi Zhu? Since Wu Yi talks with Mi Zhu every day, it means that there is still a lot of room for maneuver, which is nothing more than asking for high prices and paying back the money.
Mi Zhu is confident that he will use the position of deputy leader and some other things to bring the Wu family into the business alliance and then strengthen the business alliance. Although the price is a bit high, the five wealthy businessmen have the qualifications regardless of their status or connections, so Mi Zhu can Talking endlessly with Wu Yi.
According to the progress at that time, Mi Zhu estimated that it would take another month to bring the Wu family into the business alliance. Unfortunately, at that time, Lu Su, Liu Ye, Jia Xu, Li You, Fazheng, Jian Yong, Liu Yan, and Sun Qian All the letters were in Mi Zhu's hands, and they all just said one sentence, "Go back to Taishan as soon as possible. Chen Xi has a new plan. The Zhen family is also in Taishan. If you can't come back to Taishan, the benefits will be given to the Zhen family."
Mi Zhu thought about it for a while, then went directly to the Wu family and gave him what he thought was the most favorable offer. Then he told the Wu family that he had something important to do and was leaving today. He hoped that he could reach an agreement, otherwise it would be difficult for him to have another relationship. I had the opportunity to come to Yizhou to discuss with the Wu family in person.
It's a pity that Wu Yi thought Mi Zhu was using psychological tactics, so he slapped him haha and ignored him. As a result, Mi Zhu left overnight.
Chen Xi said it was about making money. What was the concept? Mi Zhu, who had followed Chen Xi, knew very well that the small money Chen Xi mentioned was sometimes calculated in terms of hundreds of millions of dollars, and this time he directly said that he was making big money. Mi Zhu felt that Wu Yi In Chen Xi's mind, the value of joining a business alliance may be just a small amount of money!
Of course, there is also the reason why the Zhen family went to Mount Tai. You must know that in Mi Zhu's heart, it is not impossible for Chen Xi to give a certain profitable business to the Zhen family, but it is very possible! So for the sake of safety, we should hurry back. As for the Wu family in Yizhou, we have no choice but to do this. Without the Wu family, we can go back and win over the Zhen family!
There are no absolute enemies in the shopping mall, only absolute interests. Mi Zhu feels that the Zhang family can be easier to talk to, and they are also closer. It is not impossible to go back and have a good talk to bring the Zhen family into the business alliance. As for the Wu family, , it can only be said that there is no time in life, don’t force it ~
After getting the time for Mi Zhu's return, Chen Xi felt relieved. As long as the time was not too long, Chen Xi was willing to wait. As for letting the Zhen family control Liu Bei's business lifeline, it was just a joke. What a joke, that's not the case anymore. It’s not a matter of money anymore, it’s a matter of life…
Naturally, one's own lifeline must be held in one's own hands. No one would feel at ease if it was held in the hands of others. Even if the other person wanted to take refuge in it, how could it be as safe as the Mi family?
Even if Mi Zhu really has something to do and cannot return, Chen Xi will not hand over power to the Zhen family. He can still distinguish between public and private matters. This time it is not like last time that the Zhen family has no power to choose and can only follow Chen Xi's script. Walk!
If Chen Xi gives power to the Zhen family this time, then if the Zhen family can't find a way to use the power in their hands to counter Liu Bei and expand their strength, they won't be called aristocratic family! So if Mi Zhu doesn't come back, Chen Xi will have to do it by himself. Although it may not be as easy for Mi Zhu to get started due to a series of problems such as fame and age, but after a little time, those people will recognize Chen Xi.
However, Chen Xi knew very well that it was best not to take over this kind of thing. Although Liu Bei might not care, Chen Xi was not willing to accidentally cause trouble for himself. He followed Liu Bei himself. Liu Bei was good enough to him and dared to delegate power. He wanted to If the military and political forces really come to seize money and food, isn't this just looking for trouble?
This is why Chen Xi clearly controls the power of all officials under Liu Bei, but he stays in the Government Affairs Department doing nothing. He holds many positions, including military, government, commercial, and agricultural. The mess involves a wide range of things, but Chen Xi actually took over nothing! He only did one thing, and that was to leave these things to others to handle. He only did what he wanted to do, and what he wanted to do was usually the only one...
Just like what Chen Xi does now is sit in the Government Affairs Hall and drink tea. He and Man Chong have already done a lot of things under the new law. In terms of criminal law, Chen Xi has sent Man Chong a lot of exile, cane punishment, and corporal punishment. Anyway, Chen Xi thinks The not-so-good criminal laws have all been turned into labor camps...
Of course Man Chong was dissatisfied with the fact that 90% of the criminal code was reform through labor. He could accept reform through labor for petty theft, but how could a murder by mistake be considered reform through labor? Then he and Chen Xi started to debate, and in the end Man Chong retained his opinion.
After all, there is some truth in what Chen Xi said. Dead people cannot create any value. In this era of shortage of people, instead of beheading the other party, it is better to work as a coolie. After all, there are always some dangerous jobs, such as mining, even if It's not very humane, but as long as he doesn't kill the opponent, it still shows Liu Bei's kindness.
As for tax laws and agricultural taxes, there is nothing to say. Zhao Yun is standing next to you with a gun in his hand, suppressing 30%. You can't do anything more! Moreover, Zhao Yun is a very conscientious person. He lumped all the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes together and calculated them all into the agricultural tax. No more than 40% would be added, otherwise there would be a transparent hole in the body, so in the end the tax rate became floating. , combining the research of Liu Ye and Lu Su and writing it into the agricultural tax.
After passing agriculture, Zhao Yun turned a blind eye. Exploiting businessmen or not had nothing to do with Zhao Yun. However, in the end, Chen Xi's tax law still made many people feel that it was a big headache and collected too little. Although there was a luxury tax, It’s 15 times the tax, but you don’t pay tax when entering the city. This is unreasonable!
In the opinion of Lu Su and others, the transaction tax is unreliable. Such a tax rate is too thin and cannot support Fenggao at all. All the money has been made by businessmen! Business tax is okay, but even if added together, it’s not enough to meet the original business tax! (To be continued.)
