Chapter 24 The Curse of the Party
"Okay, Patriarch Zhen is quick to speak. Then I'll say it straight." Liu Jin smiled.
"First, the white paper secret recipe can be handed over to the Zhen family, and the Zhen family will take full responsibility. I will not interfere. I only want [-]% of the profit." Liu Jin smiled and stretched out five fingers.
"Fifty percent?" Zhen Yi and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other in disbelief.
It's not that Liu Jin wants more, but that he wants less.
In fact, Zhen Yi's bottom line is [-]%, it doesn't matter how much he earns, what Zhen Yi likes is the hidden value of the white paper.
If the Zhen family is solely responsible for the blank paper, then the Zhen family will gain unparalleled reputation and contacts, which are more valuable than money.
No one can resist a book made entirely of blank paper, which can be regarded as a family heirloom.
In other words, it won't be long before the Zhen family will be talking and laughing with great Confucian scholars, and there will be no white people in their contacts.
"Okay!" Zhen Yi nodded in agreement, and took a deep look at Liu Jin.
"Second, the Zhen family will help me with all my strength when necessary in the future." Liu Jin said the second point.
"Huh? Fengshen is going to..." Zhen Yi and Mrs. Zhang turned pale with shock, don't drag us if you want to rebel.
"Patriarch Zhen misunderstood, it's not what you think, it's because the world is going to be chaotic soon." Liu Jin explained with a smile.
"Get messed up? Fengshen Jiang means..." Zhen Yi and his wife asked in confusion.
"I don't know if Patriarch Zhen has noticed that there are more and more missionaries in Taiping Dao recently." Liu Jin asked.
"No way, a sect dares to rebel?" Zhen Yi didn't believe it.
"As far as I know, there are as many as one million believers in Taiping Dao, all over the eight states. They can pull up 30 troops in one day, and they are all young and strong." Liu Jin narrowed his eyes and said.
"Millions of believers! 30 troops! Didn't the imperial court notice it?" Zhen Yi said with a look of horror.
"I guess there are shadows of aristocratic families behind this." Liu Jin expressed his guess.
"Aristocratic families are involved?" Zhen Yi couldn't figure it out, were they full?
Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he asked tentatively, "Partisan struggle?"
"Yes, they want the emperor to lift the 'party'." Liu Jin nodded.
"Party struggle" refers to the struggle between "eunuch party" and "scholar party".
To put it simply, it is a battle between the two parties. The "Eunuch Party" won and the "Scholar Party" lost, so the "Scholar Party" killed and demoted, and was imprisoned for life.
Not only that, the emperor also implicated the five clans, disciples, old officials, father and son, brothers... Anyone who is an official will be dismissed and imprisoned for life.
In this era when people can only become officials by recommendation, it is conceivable how many people have been implicated. This is "party imprisonment".
There are millions of Taiping Dao believers, and the emperor didn't realize it was normal.
But if the forces in places like the aristocratic family didn't notice it, it would be pure nonsense.
People are developing congregations under your nose. One family didn't find out, two families didn't find out, and no one in eight states found out. Go ahead and deceive the ghosts.
The entire Han people were short of food, Zhang Jiao did have it, not a lot, at least he could support 30 troops in a short period of time, so Zhang Jiao could conjure up so much food by himself?
Liu Jin guessed that some powerful family was secretly borrowing someone else's hand to deliver food to Zhang Jiao, but only he knew whether Zhang Jiao knew about it.
"However, even if there is an army of 30, it is still a mob composed of refugees, and the big men can't go anywhere." Zhen Yi still didn't understand.
"Then what if the local rebellion continues?" Liu Jin asked.
"How could it continue? Unless..." Zhen Yi thought of something, "Unless someone doesn't want it to stop."
"Yes, there are constant rebellions in the local area, and it is impossible to count on the eunuchs to put down the rebellion, and there are not many local troops, what do you think the emperor will do?" Liu Jin asked another question with a smile.
"What should I do? Find a way on my own." Zhen Yi said casually.
Suddenly, Zhen Yi's eyes widened, "Restart the state shepherd?"
"Yes, Lizhou Mu, the abolished governor." Liu Jin nodded. "The state shepherd has the military and political power of a state, and can recruit troops freely. It is most suitable for countering rebellion and stabilizing the local government."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even if the emperor lifts the shackles of the party, it is impossible to adopt such an opinion." Zhen Yi still didn't believe it.
"Then what if the clan of the Han Dynasty proposed it?" Liu Jin asked with a smile.
"This... this... the emperor will choose someone he trusts from among the clansmen of the Han Dynasty to serve as the governor of the state, and stabilize the situation first, but once such an opening is opened, it will not be taken back." Zhen Yi thought of a lot for a while .
"That's right, once the hole is opened, it can't be stopped." Liu Jin nodded, "Then the people of the aristocratic family will make efforts to put their own people in the top position, and finally it will develop into princes standing side by side, seven heroes of the Warring States Period."
"Huh!" Zhen Yi broke out in a cold sweat, and by then it would be a truly chaotic world.
"How about it, Patriarch Zhen, when the time comes, you will help me with all your strength. My military power plus the financial resources of the Zhen family will not be inferior to other princes at all." Liu Jin looked at Zhen Yi and smiled.
"And the prairie cavalry will help me when the time comes. We can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat. We can be completely invincible. When the Ming Lord appears, we can still play the role of a dragon." Liu Jin threw out again a bomb.
Zhen Yi's eyes widened, what the hell, at that time you can be the emperor yourself.
"Hasn't General Fengshen ever thought of being the emperor himself?" Zhen Yi asked curiously, Emperor, isn't it attractive?
"Idiots are the emperor." Liu Jin curled his lips in disdain.
"Wake up earlier than chickens, go to bed later than dogs, work more than cows, not one beauties in the harem can be left behind, and even the iron man can't hold it back. Didn't you realize that all emperors don't live long?" Liu Jin said clearly .
"It's better to be a master of the dragon. When the time comes, hand over the power, travel around the mountains and rivers, marry a few concubines, and sleep until you wake up naturally every day. In those days, tsk tsk, the gods will not change." Liu Jinyi The longing of the face.
Zhen Yi: What you said is so reasonable, I can't even refute it...
Zhen Yi thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. There were cavalry, money, and the prestige of the Fengshen General, and there was no shortage of soldiers.
No, you have to be completely tied to Fengshen General.
No matter how the situation changes in the future, there will be a Fengshen in charge, and unless someone is too full to cause trouble, the Zhen family can rest easy.
Hehe, thinking about it, Zhen Yi almost laughed out loud, with a wretched look on his face.
Liu Jin was full of question marks, what are you dreaming of in broad daylight?
