Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were walking and talking. The approach of the Liangzhou nobles was certainly a good thing, but all the gifts in this world had already been marked with a secret price. It was easy to get on the nobles' ship, but it took a lot of experience to get off the nobles' ship. It's bloody.
Li Ru naturally understood this very well. Dong Zhuo is no longer in the same state as when he first came to Liangzhou. He had nothing at that time. Now the Xiliang iron cavalry has strong horses and horses. The Liangzhou nobles have not completely merged with Dong Zhuo until now. In fact, they have become very powerful. I'm not sensible anymore.
Many people confuse a scholar's choice of a lord with a scholar's choice of a warlord. In fact, these are two completely different things.
The choice of a scholar's lord is a reflection of personal will.
When the nobles choose their lord, they don't invest in whoever they like, but they cooperate with whoever comes to their territory.
This kind of cooperation will end at any time. For example, Dong Zhuo is now the most powerful warlord in Liangzhou, so the Liangzhou nobles cooperate with Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo is defeated, the Liangzhou nobles will not be loyal to Dong Zhuo. Their choices are hundreds of It is 100% cooperation with the next Liangzhou warlord.
Even if the warlords occupying the state cannot represent the interests of the local nobles, these local nobles will directly betray the warlords.
Liu Yan in Ji Zhao's world was abandoned by the Yizhou nobles in this way. The final surrender of Shu was also a counterattack by the Yizhou nobles.
Because the Shu Han regime reused the Jingzhou faction, the Yizhou gentry could not benefit from the Shu Han regime, so they directly surrendered.
Maintaining the balance of factions is extremely important, and those who can do this well are heroes who have the power to compete for the world.
At present, Dong Zhuo's subordinates are almost all Xiliang warriors. Once the Liangzhou nobles join, they will quickly occupy the power of the entire Dong Zhuo force. When Dong Zhuo marches to Guandong, it will not be conducive to win over the Central Plains nobles.
Li Ru's idea was to use Hanmen to check and balance the strength of the Liangzhou nobles from now on. After entering the Central Plains, it would not be so easy for the Liangzhou nobles to stand up.
Moreover, Li Ru actually looked down on the Liangzhou nobles from the bottom of his heart and believed that there were too few talents among these Liangzhou nobles.
Although the nobles in the Central Plains had bad conduct and were too arrogant, they were far more talented than the Liangzhou nobles.
Especially for the gentry in Nanyang, Hongnong, Yingchuan, and Runan counties around Luoyang, which were subordinate to Sili, it was no lie that one county was better than one state.
The only one who could compare with them was the Hebei gentry, but the Hebei gentry were even more arrogant than the Henan gentry, and even Luoyang looked down upon them.
Scholars in Hebei believed that Hebei was the richest place in the world. The population of Hebei alone was greater than that of other states, so the imperial capital should be located in Hebei.
This is actually the common goal of all the nobles in the world, which is to set the imperial capital in their hometown.
When Chang'an was the imperial capital, the good families of the six counties were so prominent, and the economy of Guanzhong was so prosperous. They drew the blood of the world to supply Guanzhong.
Later, Luoyang became the imperial capital, and the Three Rivers Knights became the most trusted imperial guards. The prosperity of the Three Rivers Land far exceeded that of Guanzhong.
If the imperial capital can be relocated to Hebei, then the Hebei nobles will be the leaders of all the nobles in the world. From now on, the Hebei nobles will eat meat, and other nobles can only chew bones.
Li Ru could not allow this situation to occur in Dong Zhuo's regime, so he had to pull and beat the Liangzhou nobles.
"Enable Hanmen?"
Dong Zhuo frowned slightly when he heard what Li Ru said, "Wen You, are there many people with extraordinary talents like you?
If you are a warrior, that is fine, but if you are a scholar, how can a child from a poor family compete with a child from a noble family?
Liangzhou is not Hebei, but without Luo's talents, how can a poor family stand out? "
This is a very bloody fact.
The number of geniuses among poor families is naturally far greater than that of nobles, but the nobles have spent so many resources, and are indeed not even a little bit better than ordinary children from poor families.
With similar talents, how can a child from a poor family who is working part-time and studying be compared to a child from a noble family who is studying hard and having extracurricular tutoring?
Li Ru said calmly: "There are also differences between poor families. Does my lord know about the Wuwei Jia family?"
"Wuwei Jia family?"
Dong Zhuo frowned slightly when he heard this. He was a filial and honest person, and he was not very proficient in Confucian classics. He only knew about these Confucian classics families who were the top wealthy families in the world.
After all, not to mention a state, even a county, there are many nobles, and the scope of the nobles is too wide.
A warrior who was a prominent nobleman more than a hundred years ago, Dong Zhuo, a warrior with little education, really didn't know.
Li Ru was very clear about Dong Zhuo's lack of knowledge and skills, and said directly: "The Wuwei Jia family is the descendant of Jia Yi, Prime Minister Jia of the early Han Dynasty. However, it declined in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty. My lord, you should know the troubled times back then." , I don’t know how many prominent families have declined.
Although the Wuwei Jia family is now a poor family, the inheritance of family education has not been abandoned. This kind of family cannot be underestimated. As long as there is an opportunity, it can take off in an instant.
Among the Jia family, there is a long-time friend of the minister named Wenhe.
Although he was born into a poor family, he has extraordinary talents. I am afraid that there are not many talents like him who have traveled all over the world.
Being the mastermind of the lord is perfect.
In order to persuade him to help his lord, I made a lot of efforts. Now the situation in the Central Plains finally made him move and he had the idea of entering the game.
He is willing to go out to help the lord for a while. If you can convince the lord, he is willing to join your army. "
Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This Jia Wenhe was really arrogant. Even now, he still wanted to examine himself instead of directly worshiping himself as his lord.
But Dong Zhuo was not angry. This was the characteristic of this era.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.
After all, after choosing a monarch, most people are not willing to betray. The last betrayal was okay, but if they betrayed too many times, their reputation would be completely ruined.
"Since Wen You admires Jia Wenhe so much, then I will meet him and see what abilities he has that make Wen You admire him so much."
Li Ru still has a lot of face. As the true second-in-command of the Xiliang Group, Dong Zhuo will basically not refute his face.
After the two returned to Wuwei County, they asked Jia Wenhe to come and see them.
"Xu pays homage to Ming Gong. May Ming Gong be well."
Jia Wenhe is a slightly fat middle-aged man who looks very inconspicuous and can even be easily ignored by others.
"Mr. Ankang, do you have any advice for me?"
Dong Zhuo asked loudly.
"I have a few words to say, please listen carefully."
