Violence is indeed intoxicating and fascinating.

Because violence can make many complex things easier and easier to achieve, and can make your goals easier to achieve.

Just like in places like Wuyi, Xindu, Shiyi, Jingzhou, and Yingzhou, because violence destroyed the old order, making all Li Ze's new policies extremely smooth. What Liu Chenglin's actions in Yingzhou are now a typical representative of violence.

When the army arrived at the fort, the opponent had only two choices, either obey or perish. After breaking through the door, all the property was taken over to the government, and then in the name of the government, whether it was a military farm or a grant of land, they were ultimately going to complete the ultimate goal of saving the fields and clearing the households.

But not all places are suitable for this method, such as Yizhou, Zhenzhou, Zhaozhou, even Cangzhou, Dizhou and other places. Wu Jin and Lu Guan's report made Li Ze clearly realize that this world is still dominated by gentry, powerful and aristocratic families. Violence alone may be able to gain temporary benefits, but it will never last for a long time.

It is very simple to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, but it also has strong sequelae, which will push a large number of landlords to their opposites. Now it is only limited to the limited area of ​​the North. If you look at the world in the future, then the opposition forces will be very terrible.

"Young Master's idea is very clear, which makes Gongsun very happy!" Gongsun Changming stroked his long beard with great satisfaction, "To be honest, I have always been worried that the young master will be immersed in the achievements easily achieved under violence and will be unable to extricate himself!"

Li Ze nodded and said, "If you want to manage a small place like Wuyi, Xindu, Shiyi and even Yizhou, you may not have to consider so much, but if you look at the world, you have to consider the reality."

"The young master is very worried that the road must be forward, but the means can be considered. If you take too big steps, it is easy to pull the ball!" Gongsun Changming laughed and said, "In the past, Wang Mang had a good understanding of the truth."

"So I want to build a unity front and a unified alliance." Li Ze said with a smile: "Unite all the forces that can be united for me."

"Young Master is actually doing it. The limit that the individual family that you have set is not allowed to own more than 5,000 acres of land has given the vast majority of small and medium-sized landlords a prospect. In fact, it is difficult for most small and medium-sized landlords to meet this standard. For the wealthy and powerful families, those who often own tens of thousands of acres and hundreds of thousands of acres of land, allowing them to separate their families is another way."

"So under such a policy, if there are still people who are unwilling to follow my steps, they are indeed ambitious and want to do something in this troubled world. I can be rude to such people." Li Ze sneered.

"Unite small and medium-sized landlords and squires, and fight against super powerful people." Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "Young master, there is another type of people. You must not forget that there are many aristocratic families. These aristocratic families may not have much land in their homes, but their influence cannot be underestimated. Many of them are Guanying families, and they are scholarly disciples. They have a long history of inheritance and do not speak with financial resources, but influence people with their reputation as a Qing Dynasty. These people are more difficult to deal with than those powerful people. Because they really cannot fight and cannot be killed or killed, they can easily destroy a good policy by opening their mouths. These people are influential, and there are many wise people among them. If they can be absorbed for my use, they will be a powerful force."

"Mr. Gongsun said it very well. But the power of these people has been rioted by the peasant riots over the years and local scattered dramas. If I encounter it, I will naturally make efforts to win over it. Mr. Gongsun is going to Chang'an, so he might as well put more efforts on these people. There are so many such aristocratic families in Guanzhong. If they can create momentum for me in Chang'an and other places, it would be great."

"Of course!" Gongsun Changming nodded. "Famous things sometimes seem useless. No matter how great the reputation is, they can't stand a quick knife. However, after the reputation and strength are combined, they can exert energy beyond ordinary people's imagination. Many times, with this, some places can be determined by making a statement. What does the young master want to have a reputation? Gongsun is still influential in Guanzhong, and has a group of friends. It is naturally no problem to win over some people for the young master."

"At this stage, what I need is of course that Mr. Li is a loyal minister who is loyal to the emperor and the people, and a loyal minister who is determined to help the court recreate the glory of the Tang Dynasty. It is best to be able to compare Gao Pian." Li Zetian shamelessly told Gongsun Changming.

Gongsun Changming laughed: "Gao Pian's loyalty has been tested by time. It is difficult for the young master to surpass him at this point. However, we can make a big fuss about the young master's age. Gao Pian is loyal and righteous, but he is old and has no successors. And the young master is in his prime. If the imperial court can have a pillar like the young master, he will be able to maintain peace for decades. From this point of view, what does the young master think?"

Li Ze laughed at the high five and said, "What the sir said is very good. My strongest capital is age. I think in the hearts of all the big men in the court, my age is still very malleable."

Gongsun Changming smiled without saying a word. He knew very clearly that Li Ze in front of him had extremely clear goals and his pace of moving towards this goal was extremely firm. There might be changes in means, detours, and retreats, but the final result was unquestionable. He was always moving forward.

Anyone who wants to change Li Ze will be changed by Li Ze without exception.

I once claimed to be a person with strong hearts, but I was also changed by Li Ze's side by him without realizing it. To be honest, is there any essential difference between Li Ze and Zhang Zhongwu?

I'm afraid there isn't.

Zhang Zhongwu was preparing to use violent means to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, but what Li Ze did now, or what he was going to do, was to slowly replace the Tang Dynasty in a gradual process. Li Ze expressed this clearly to Gongsun Changming without any concealment.

But he sniffed Zhang Zhongwu and left resolutely, but stayed by Li Ze's side, and thought he had a great chance of success.

The study door creaked, and Li Ze looked up in surprise. Li Mi guarded the study outside, so it was impossible for ordinary people to approach. Even if Li Mi wanted to come in, he would report it outside first. He had never seen anyone who pushed the door open like this before.

A beautiful face appeared beside the door.

To Li Ze's surprise, it was Liu Ruyan.

Gongsun Changming stood up with a smile and said, "Young Master has something to do, Gongsun will say goodbye first."

Seeing Liu Ruyan standing in, Li Mi followed behind him with helpless Li Ze smiled and said, "Then I won't send you to Mr. Mr. If you have time, go to Yang Kai's place to take a look."

Gongsun Changming nodded with a smile, walked to Liu Ruyan and nodded, and Liu Ruyan squatted and bowed to him.

The door was closed again, Li Ze smiled and looked at Liu Ruyan with a slightly red face, walked out of the case, pointed to the chair and said, "Why are you free to come to me today? Sit!"

Liu Ruyan hesitated for a moment, walked to Li Ze, stared at Li Ze and said, "I made a sachet for you, have you always brought it with you?"

Li Ze smiled and took out the exquisite sachet from his arms: "I've always carried it with you!"

Liu Ruyan's eyes immediately lit up and she sat down happily.

Li Ze sat beside her and said, "I heard you didn't eat dinner last night, so I was anxious. What's wrong?"

Liu Ruyan lowered her head and Li Ze looked at her quietly.

After a while, Liu Ruyan raised her head and said, "Li Ze, we are about to get married, aren't we?"

"Yes." Li Ze nodded and said, "It is said that the emperor wants to give a marriage and to give us the first time in these years."

"But I think Xia He is more important to you, and you are better to her." Liu Ruyan said loudly.

Li Ze was stunned for a while before shook his head and said, "Qiao'er, you can think about this matter like this. I grew up with Xia He and have been together for more than ten years. The emotions between me and her are slowly accumulated by time. After all, the time we spent together is still very short, but I believe that our relationship will get better and better in the future. Do you believe it?"

"I believe." Liu Ruyan nodded: "But when I went to Xia He yesterday, I felt ashamed when I saw what she did. I was afraid that even if we get married in the future, her importance will still be incomparable to you."

Li Ze smiled and took Liu Ruyan's hand. When he held it gently, he suddenly realized in his heart that as Xia He said, Liu Ruyan's palms had calluses and seemed extremely powerful. Of course, this was not the soft and ruyi of a woman without any power.

"You are too arrogant. Don't forget that you are my wife of Li Ze's wife!"

"This is different." Liu Ruyan shook her head and said, "Brother once told me that if you want to avoid being replaced, you need to have the strength to not be replaced. Now Xia He is like this, right?"

Li Ze couldn't help but choke. Indeed, in his system, no one can replace Xia He's role at all. Of course he would do these things, but he could not be trapped in such a vast account.

"So, I also want to become a person who cannot be replaced, and I also want to become a person who is helpful to your career." Liu Ruyan said loudly.

Li Ze smiled bitterly: "Is this what Xia He told you?"
