The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 107 Can I really become the Duke of Zhou?
"Your Majesty... do you want to reward the soldiers with bamboo slips?"

"When did the Grand Master tell a joke?"

Liu Xie patted the pile of bamboo slips.

"It's not the bamboo slips, it's the reward and punishment system for this time!"

This is a reward and punishment system that was compiled by the people of the Shangshutai in ten days!

"One is for equal distribution of land, the other is for government soldiers!"

"The former is for profit, the latter is for fame!"

"As long as we reward the soldiers in this way, they will surely be convinced!"

After that, it was Jia Xu's time.

The bamboo slips, which filled two large carriages, were simplified into a few words to help Dong Zhuo understand what equal distribution of land and government soldiers meant.

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo stroked his beard with his hand.

Having been in the army for many years, Dong Zhuo actually understood best what the soldiers wanted.

Those who are insignificant are rich.

The name is given to those with high aspirations.

Allocate land to soldiers and give titles to military officers...this system of equal land distribution and military service can actually meet the needs of both!
If such a system were promulgated, Dong Zhuo was sure that all the soldiers would cheer and sing praises to the court's virtue!

Such a reward is indeed enough to stabilize the morale of the army!

Liu Xie was able to formulate such a policy in such a short time that even Dong Zhuo felt jealous.

"The emperor is so wise that my title of 'Grand Master' is no longer worthy of the title."

Dong Zhuo's sudden words made Jia Xu below shudder.

He nervously glanced secretly at the Emperor and the Grand Tutor above him, and began to doubt why the Grand Tutor would say such a thing!
Could it be that... the Grand Tutor is now wary of the Emperor?

If Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo turned against each other, Jia Xu himself didn't know what to do with the already precarious Han court!

"Hahahaha, Master, how can that be true!"

Dong Zhuo is intriguing and Jia Xu is suspicious.

But Liu Xie acted as if nothing had happened. He sat down next to Dong Zhuo, leaned his head on Dong Zhuo's shoulder, and reached out to touch Dong Zhuo's round belly again.

"Why do you say that, Grand Master? If the Grand Master is not worthy of his title, then wouldn't the whole world be filled with petty thieves?"

Liu Xie whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear: "Master, have you forgotten the agreement we made in this palace?"

"Achieve great achievements like Duke Zhou!"

"Now that this opportunity is right before your eyes, is the Grand Master going to give it up?"

Dong Zhuo understood what Liu Xie meant.

At the same time, he also felt a little dry in the mouth!
"Your Majesty, are you thinking..."

"Exactly!"

Liu Xie affirmed Dong Zhuo's idea.

"Issuing these two decrees will surely go down in history."

"If the Grand Tutor is in charge of the policy of equal distribution of land and government soldiers, the achievements he made would be no less than those of Duke Zhou in building Chengzhou!"

Dong Zhuo blushed and said, "No, no, this is your majesty's contribution. How can I overstep my authority?"

"Master!"

Liu Xie was angry!
"Is there any need to distinguish between me and the Grand Master?"

"What belongs to me is the Grand Master's! What belongs to the Grand Master is mine!"

"If the Grand Master doesn't believe me, I will add the Grand Master's name to the end of every official document!"

"That's not what I meant."

"Then why did the Grand Master refuse?"

Liu Xie almost cried.

"I and the Han Dynasty now rely on the Grand Tutor. Why is the Grand Tutor refusing like this? Does the Grand Tutor want to abandon me?"

"Has the Grand Master really forgotten all about the past between me and him?"

The implementation of the equal-field system and the fubing system was only one of the ways to deal with this reward.

Secondly, Liu Xie knew that this method could enrich the country and strengthen the army!

The current situation of the Han Dynasty no longer allows for any illusions.

Although all places still respect him as the emperor on the surface, Liu Xie knows that if he wants to revive the Han Dynasty, he has to fight from Guanzhong! Go out to redefine the earth, water, fire, and reshape the sun, moon, and universe!

However, the essence of the Later Han Dynasty was basically concentrated in the aristocratic families and in Guandong.

Money and food are in Guandong.

Talent is also in Kanto.

Then why can Guanzhong win?
Relying on the peerless Lu Bu, the god descended to earth?
Relying on the Xiliang Cavalry to dominate the world?
If this could be achieved, the final winner in history books, even if not Lu Bu, should be the Xiliang princes like Ma Teng and Ma Chao.

Money and food are not an advantage.

Talent is not an advantage.

How can we unify?
Without him!

It’s just the system!

Equal distribution of land and government soldiers!
One left and one right.

It’s like the two pillars of the future Han Dynasty!

Only by connecting these two thighs can the big man continue to run and continue to win.

If we don’t use this method to enrich the country and strengthen the army, how can the Han Dynasty be strong? How can the Han Dynasty be revived?
Therefore, Liu Xie is now truly expressing his true feelings, without any pretense at all.

Because these two decrees affected the interests of the military, only Dong Zhuo could implement them personally to subdue those arrogant and powerful generals.

If Dong Zhuo disagrees, the military will certainly not agree either.

If the military does not agree, the policy will not be implemented.

Since the policy cannot be implemented and it is impossible to defeat the princes of Guandong from the institutional perspective, how can the Han Dynasty be revived?

Compared with the great Han Dynasty, a little fame, a little prestige are completely insignificant things!
That is why Liu Xie spoke in a sad tone, accusing Dong Zhuo of wanting to abandon him and saying such foolish words as "I am not willing to be the Grand Tutor".

"Your Majesty, I am terrified! I know I was wrong!" Dong Zhuo could no longer sit still, and stood up to apologize to Liu Xie: "I should never have said such nonsense, Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Liu Xie raised his slightly red eyes and said, "Then Grand Master, are you still going to leave me?"

"Not anymore."

"Will the Grand Master implement these two decrees?"

"Will do."

Liu Xie finally burst into laughter and asked, "Does the Grand Master keep his word?"

"Natural will tell."

"That's a deal!"

Liu Xie held out his little finger and said, "This is an agreement between you and me, the king and the minister. There will never be such suspicion again in the future!"

"I will help the Grand Master become Duke Zhou, and the Grand Master will help me become King Cheng. In this way, we can jointly revive the Han Dynasty, make all the lands that the sun and the moon shine on become Han territory, and reproduce the Three Dynasties as recorded in history books. How do you think?"

Dong Zhuo followed Liu Xie's example and held out his little finger to hold Liu Xie's, also shedding tears: "I will follow your majesty's orders!"

Dong Zhuo now felt that he deserved to die!

To say such nonsense would break the emperor's heart.
The emperor was willing to give me the power and reputation to issue these two decrees, but I still suspected the emperor... What a bastard!

Since he was born, Dong Zhuo may have never felt as guilty as he does today.

He slowly leaned on the hands held by the king and his minister, and tears began to flow again unconsciously.

……

Ok?
never mind?
Jia Xu also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the crisis was resolved.

Turning around, he saw Dong Bai chewing something beside him, and couldn't help but sigh -

"It seems that the rumors are true. Wei Yangjun has indeed been spoiled by the Grand Tutor. He doesn't know how to read the atmosphere or the expressions of others. He can actually eat at this time..."

Dong Bai saw Jia Xu looking at him with a caring look, and he extended an invitation to this sunny, cheerful, and kind uncle.

"(Crunch, chew, chew) Would you like some?"

"(Chew chew chew) This thing, (chew chew chew chew) is a bit unpalatable, but it's still fun. It makes my stomach feel warm after I eat it!"

Jia Xu looked at the saltpeter in Dong Bai's hand with suspicion: "Lord Weiyang, can this be eaten?"

"Your Majesty said it's a medicinal herb, (chew chew chew) should it be edible?"

Dong Bai swallowed it with great effort and invited Jia Xu again: "Would you like some?"

"No, I'm not sick."

"I'm not sick either!"

"I see it."

……

Dong Zhuo cried and refused to get up. Liu Xie helped him up and wiped his tears with his sleeves: "I was too harsh just now. It's all my fault."

"No, it's my fault."

"No, it's my fault."

"No, it's my fault!"

Well, it’s your master’s fault.

Liu Xie once again reminded: "In this case, I will entrust these two orders to the Grand Master."

"When delivering orders to others, do not mention my name. The Grand Master is to become a wise minister of the Duke of Zhou, and this order should be used to enhance his reputation."

No!

Dong Zhuo is ashamed!

If this is the case, can I still be considered a human being?

Liu Xie suppressed Dong Zhuo with a relieved expression: "I understand that the Grand Master is worried about me and afraid that I will be wronged."

"But I am the Grand Master's disciple after all. Can you say that my decision to come up with this policy has nothing to do with the Grand Master?"

"Perhaps, it is because of the Grand Master's teachings that I was able to receive the gift from heaven and complete such a decree!"

Dong Zhuo looked puzzled: "Is your Majesty serious?"

"Of course it's true!"

Liu Xie spoke righteously.

"What is a Grand Master? He is the head of the Three Dukes! He is an official who assists the monarch! He has the responsibility to teach the emperor!"

"It's like a child learning to write. Would anyone say that the child is born smart without the help of his teacher?"

"Grandmaster, please taste it, please taste it carefully, please taste it carefully! This is the truth, isn't it?"

……

Dong Zhuo was not so sure either.

"It seems... that's exactly the case?"

Is it really my contribution to this decree?
Dong Zhuo himself was a little unconfident.

"Not as if! But definitely!"

Liu Xie finally gave Dong Zhuo a reassurance:

"If it weren't for the Grand Master's teachings, how could I have come up with such an order?"

"If it weren't for the reputation of the Grand Master, how could the soldiers be willing to accept such an order?"

"This decree was originally the work of the Grand Tutor. Why would the Grand Tutor refuse it?"

Dong Zhuo's eyes gradually changed from confusion to clarity.

Your Majesty, what you said... makes sense!

Isn't it the credit of me, the Grand Tutor, that Your Majesty was able to come up with such a decree?
This is clearly God's recognition of my merits, and seeing that I am not capable enough in government affairs, he specially ordered Your Majesty to draft the decree for me to implement!

As Your Majesty said, the system of equal distribution of land and military service is an achievement that can really be compared to the construction of Chengzhou by Duke Zhou!
If Dong Zhuo had doubts about himself before, he would not have dared to compare his political achievements with those of Zhou Gong.

But with the promulgation of the equal-field system and the military system, Dong Zhuo's biggest shortcoming was almost made up!
Dong Zhuo suddenly had an idea -

I, maybe I can really become the second Duke of Zhou!

Duke Zhou of the Han Dynasty!
