Liu Muzhi shook his head: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate. If I give Yu Yue a big state, I won't have any problem here, because Yu Yue has no ability. Even if I give him a big state, as a prerequisite for the transaction, let him His Yu family is willing to take the lead in collecting taxes and forming a private army, so that other families can follow suit, and our Jin Dynasty can recover from the horrors of the war sooner. Compared with giving this governor of a large state who can take it back sooner or later, This is a very profitable deal."

"However, if this big state actually falls into the hands of your Tao Gong, it will be completely different. Especially if Jingzhou is handed over to you, it will probably become the second Huan family, separatist and independent, and will not obey the king. Change, even fight against the imperial court and start an army to cause chaos."

"I can't take such a risk, Tao Gong. The official positions given to you can only be those in the central government that do not involve real power. The rank can be high enough for you to restore the honor of your ancestor Kan Gong. However, If you want to actually control a large state, I advise you not to think about it.”

Tao Yuanming frowned: "Then, if I settle for the next best thing, not a big state like Jingzhou or Yuzhou, but a remote border state, such as Guangzhou, Yizhou, etc., can you agree? ?”

Liu Muzhi softly said "Oh": "These remote states and counties have a bad climate, are infested with poisonous insects, are sparsely populated, and have no tax revenue. Even the children of aristocratic families are not willing to go there. What are you trying to do by going to these places?" Woolen cloth?"

Tao Yuanming laughed: "The more no one wants to go to a place, the less people will fight for it. Then maybe I can stay there for several generations like the Du family in Jiaozhou. Like Jingzhou Land is regarded as a big piece of meat, and everyone wants to compete for it. In the end, once the descendants fail, it will be difficult to maintain the inheritance of the ancestors, which is not good. "

"Besides, in these big states, I can teach farmers and help the locals improve their lives. My Tao ancestors were just barbarian tribes in the mountains of Jingzhou, but after the Han people came, they brought advanced , the developed culture made my ancestors also admire Han culture, and after leaving the mountains, we, the Tao family, came into existence. I think that the Peach Blossom Spring in my book cannot survive for thousands of generations. If we encounter a stronger and more advanced Culture, then we should accept this.”

"And those people in Lingnan or Bashu, these poor mountains and rivers, are like wild beasts and have not yet been civilized. They need someone to use the current civilization to educate them so that they can live like human beings. I Tao Tao Yuan Ming has long been famous all over the world, but you only think that I am a great poet and famous person, but you don’t know my actual political talents. Give me a remote state, and I can guarantee that within ten years, I can make these people. The place has been transformed into a new one, so that everyone here knows the rules and pays homage."

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Then the people in these places only know about you, Tao Gong, and your Tao family. They don't know about the Jin Dynasty or Liu Yu, right?"

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "In this kind of border land, where there are separate and self-reliant families, there shouldn't be too many families who have been holding office for generations. Isn't this the case for the Cuan family in Ningzhou and the Du family in Jiaozhou? The Jin Dynasty can accommodate them. Can't you tolerate me, Tao Yuanming? These places are thousands of miles away from the capital and they have never paid taxes. They only belong to the Jin Dynasty in name. It has always been a loss for the Jin Dynasty to send troops to suppress it. Why not give it to me? I, I can't openly rebel by taking advantage of these territories. It just allows me, Tao, to have a place to settle down. This is not too much." .

Liu Muzhi said coldly: "You, Tao Gong, are too capable and capable, and I can't see who is behind you, so I don't want to let you go to these big states. I said, I can give you a royal title in the imperial court and restore the glory of your ancestors, so why not?"

Tao Yuanming sighed: "How can it be so easy to stay in the capital for a long time? I went to Jiankang before when Huan Xuan usurped the throne, and I tried to become one of them, but I was beaten mercilessly. , despised, in their eyes, even I, a famous person in the world, was just a country bumpkin who came to Beijing with no background, and they refused to give me any of the industry I needed to stay in the capital, so later I became angry. Then, he also gave Huan Xuan an idea, asking him to gamble with the children of these aristocratic families to win these people's properties and keep them as his own."

Liu Muzhi

The fat on his face shook, and he said with a smile: "Who came up with this idea? You took advantage of it, but it was against the entire Jiankang family, including the wealthy people in Jingkou. It turned out to be you, Yuan Ming." .

Tao Yuanming said coldly: "If it weren't for you and Liu Yu, and his Jingba Party with troops and knives in their hands, these noble families wouldn't be any better to you. Find Shuyuanwｗw.zhaｏshuyuan .com Mu Zhi, in the hearts of these people, there is already a hierarchy, and you can’t squeeze in. Therefore, I don’t want to stay with these people. I would rather go to the distant frontier and start my business from scratch.”

Liu Muzhi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Which big state do you want? Moreover, didn't you want to help Yu Yue rise to power? You even sent your tribesman friend Luo Longsheng to command his army. How could you just abandon him like this? Yu Yue doesn't care?"

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "I just acted according to the rules you made. When I was kidnapped by the demon thieves, I learned about their inside story, and then helped Yu Yue form an army. Then I used this army to chase the demon thieves and achieve military exploits. With this merit, Yu Yue became the governor of a large state, and I can also use my assistance to get the border state you promised me. This border state should preferably be Yizhou."

Liu Muzhi laughed: "Why don't you want Jingzhou now?"

Tao Yuanming shook his head: "I just told Yu Yue to ask for Jingzhou, and asked him to fight for Jingzhou. In fact, I know very well that Jingzhou is one of the most important prefectures and counties in the Jin Dynasty, and it must not be surrendered to anyone else." People you trust, after Liu Daogui, the position of governor of Jingzhou is seen as a fat one, but it is also a dangerous place. Anyone who has no strength but wants to occupy this position will be doomed. Of course, Yu Yue doesn't understand this truth, but you. I know it in my heart.”

Liu Muzhi said solemnly: "Then you want to let Luo Longsheng lead the army after Yu Yue's meritorious service. In order to join the army, you will either be a long history officer or a marching commander, and then capture Yizhou yourself, so that you can legitimately become Yizhou. Governor, right?"

Tao Yuanming said coldly: "Yes, that's exactly what it is, brother Mu. In this way, I have served the country in an honest and fair manner. It is not too much to have such a reward." (End of Chapter)
