Three Kingdoms: God-level selection

After listening to Su Ping's explanation, Su Yan didn't know whether to be thankful or helpless.

As one of the ten famous swords in ancient and modern times, the Tai'a Sword is so famous that it can't be compared with ordinary swords.

Since the Qin Dynasty, it has always appeared as the sword of Qin Shihuang.

It is known as a sword of the princes' kingly way, that is, the sword of the emperor.

Except for the emperor, no one has the status to own it. It was really unexpected that Su Yan could get it from his family, but this thing is like a hot potato, it's not easy to use!

It's not very sharp, but it's not weak either.

The key is that its material is very hard and it looks very good.

If Su Yan rashly takes it with him and uses it, and then he is found by someone with ulterior motives, and then he is charged with rebellion, it will be a big deal.

So, the value of this thing in his hands is not high, but it will bring him trouble.

However, if you think about it from another angle.

This Tai'a Sword is the best gift for Su Yan to advance.

If we can present it to Emperor Ling of Han, and then praise him well and win his favor, the benefits we will get will definitely be much better than this famous sword.

"In the past, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, was able to use the imperial seal to gain Yuan Shu's support, in order to seize the land of Jiangdong and gain a foundation for future development."

"Now, I use this Tai'a sword to gain the trust of Emperor Ling of Han, which will greatly increase my status and power. Why not do such a deal?"

"If I give it to you, then I will give it to you. When I unify Hebei and march south to capture Luoyang, the sword will naturally return to my hands. Why should I be reluctant to give it up?"

Su Yan's eyes flashed with brilliance.

In his opinion, this Tai'a sword is of great value. If he can make good use of it, he will definitely rise up and save himself from fighting for many years.

Now that he has made up his mind, he will no longer hesitate.

He said something to Su Ping and asked him to find a scabbard from the mansion. He put away the Tai'a sword, then said goodbye to Su Ping and left the Su Mansion.

Early the next morning,

Su Yan and others left Ji County by car and headed for Zhuo County.

After traveling for several days, they finally entered Zhuo County.

The carriage creaked across the official road, and Su Yan had a panoramic view of the scene on the surrounding fields.

Many people were busy in the fields. Green crops could be seen everywhere on the fields. The upward trend is quite gratifying.

Now in the entire Zhuo County, and even in the border areas of the surrounding counties, there are no longer any bandits or thieves.

Before Su Yan left, he had instructed Taishi Ci to train the soldiers well, and then strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army by eliminating bandits.

During this period of time, Taishi Ci was naturally not idle.

In addition to daily training with the troops, he continued to eliminate bandits to stabilize the environment around Zhuo County.

Without the intrusion of bandits, the lives of the people are very stable.

In addition to the land allocated by the Zhuo County government, everyone is very happy.

The entire Zhuo County is a prosperous and peaceful situation.

Guo Jia curiously opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out. Seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but smack his lips.

""What do you think of Zhuo County now?"

Su Yan asked with a smile.

Guo Jia sat back and couldn't help but admired:"It must be said that Zhuo County under the lord's rule is a pure land in the entire Youzhou."

"Here, I saw the people smiling from the bottom of their hearts, and the crops in the fields were growing well. There were also soldiers guarding the fields and helping the people to farm together."

"Such a harmonious and prosperous situation is like a paradise on earth. I have heard of such a scene during the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, but I am afraid it has never happened again since then."

""Guo Jia was very curious, how did the lord do it?"

Guo Jia asked with a smile.

Su Yan replied:"The reason is very simple. If you treat the people with sincerity and regard them as real people, then they will also treat you with sincerity and obey your orders."

"If you can feed them and clothe them so that they can live a good life, they will support you, you will win the hearts of the people, and the world will be yours."

Guo Jia listened with a confused look on his face, as if he understood something.

When he was studying, he mainly learned the strategies of marching and planning, which were mostly related to military affairs, but if it involved politics, it was not his specialty.

Seeing this, Su Yan laughed again and said,"Xunzi said that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. This is actually the same principle."

"The people are the water and we are the boats. We are held high above the people by them, but if we cannot satisfy them, one day they will abandon us, stop holding us up, and throw us down hard."

"Without the people, without the water to hold us up, what would we be?"

"Since ancient times, which wise ruler did not focus on industrial reforms to make the country prosperous and the people happy in order to become strong?"

"They have won the recognition and support of the people. Wherever the sword points, the country goes. How can such a country not dominate the world?"

"But in a country, it is impossible for every minister to be extremely wise and loyal, right?"

Guo Jia frowned and said

"This is natural!"

Su Yan nodded and said:"If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Without water, where will the fish come from? It is normal for some bugs to mix in a country."

"But as long as we control the general direction, make sure our goals are always gradually improved, and make sure that most people are virtuous and honest, that will be enough."

"The power of some people is ultimately no match for the power of a country. As long as the monarch can take the lead, handle affairs in a fair and just manner, and make good use of talented people, the country will not perish."

"In the final analysis, it is still a question of the king's own merits and demerits."

Su Yan paused at this point, shook his head, and stopped talking.

It was enough to say so much, and there was no need to say more. I believe Guo Jia should understand.

The carriage returned to silence, leaving only the gurgling sound of the tires.

Not long after, they arrived at the county seat of Zhuo County.

At the city gate, Du Ji and Taishi Ci were leading the officials, waiting for Su Yan's carriage.

When Su Yan's carriage slowly drove in front of them, Du Ji led everyone to greet it and saluted,"My lord!"

After Lu Zhi came back, he ordered the Lu family to spread the news about Su Yan's deeds in Ji County, and everyone knew the news.

Hearing the news that Su Yan was valued by the governor and was going to be promoted to the governor of Zhuo County, everyone's faces lit up and their faces became excited.

Su Yan is their lord, and they are his subjects.

Su Yan's status has been improved, and the status of their loyal subordinates will also rise with it.

In particular, Su Yan shined at the Su family banquet and was commented on by Xu Shao as a peerless talent.

After hearing this, everyone admired and respected Su Yan even more.
