Chapter 22: Surrounding the Cities with the Countryside
This beautiful jade is the key to the Great Sage Master's solution to the crisis. It is a treasure among treasures. How could he casually talk about it with an outsider like him?
At this moment, Yu Ji also realized his recklessness and quickly lowered his head and said, "I was too reckless..."
Su Che said, "It doesn't matter. These are just minor details and are not important at all. What I want to know is, are you satisfied with the scene here?"
Yu Ji nodded: "The prosperous scene in my dream is just like this."
Su Che asked again: "Then I want to spread the scene here to the entire Han Dynasty. What do you think?"
Yu Ji's eyes widened slightly, and he asked in doubt: "If you spread this Pingxiang scene throughout the Han Dynasty, will the Han Dynasty still be the Han Dynasty?"
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Su Che stared at Yu Ji and asked word by word.
Some people and some things don't need to be explained too clearly. Besides, Su Che's words at this moment were straightforward enough, so Yu Ji could naturally understand them.
"You..." In fact, Yu Ji had already prepared himself for this answer, but when he heard it with his own ears, he still couldn't remain calm, and his breathing became much more rapid.
Aren't Su Che's words his innermost thoughts?
The world of great harmony in his dreams had appeared countless times. He wished so much that it could appear in the real world. However, he knew clearly that this was simply impossible. Many things were too serious to be reversed. To realize the scenes in dreams was much more difficult than practicing!
It is precisely because of this that Yu Ji has been in a very painful state for a long time. This is also the reason why he abandoned his spiritual power and wandered around the world in his mortal body.
Yu Ji was silent for a long time, then he sighed deeply and said with emotion: "I am far inferior to you."
Perhaps in terms of strength and cultivation level, Yu Ji is far superior to the young man in front of him, but when it comes to daring to put his ideals into practice and working hard for it, Yu Ji sighs that he is powerless.
"Sir, why are you sighing so deeply ?" Su Che said with a faint smile, "I see that you also have this ambition and hope for a harmonious world. Why are you hesitating?"
Su Che came to Yu Ji, bowed and said:
"Please help me, sir, to turn the scene of Taiping Township into the scene of the whole world!"
These words made Yu Ji particularly excited.
But for a pessimistic idealist like him, it was obviously extremely difficult for him to take the first step.
He hesitated for a while, but neither agreed nor refused.
If he were the old him, he would have refused at this moment, but when he saw the scenery of this peaceful township and saw the inscription of "the best township in the world", he was really unable to make a decision for a while.
Su Che looked at Yu Ji's conflicted expression and wondered if he would have to visit him three times.
That won’t do. You are not Zhuge Liang, and I am not Liu Xuande. You must be decisive when rebelling. It will be difficult to accomplish anything if you hesitate like this!
Just when Su Che was feeling a little disappointed, Yu Ji suddenly bowed and was about to solemnly salute: "I am not talented, but I am willing to help the great and virtuous teacher lead the way!"
Su Che quickly helped Yu Ji up, and said happily: "There is no distinction between you and me as master and servant. There is no need to be so formal. We can only work together for the common good of the world!"
Yu Ji, however, kept his head down and said nothing, taking the initiative to lower his status to below that of the Great Sage Teacher.
It was enough for Pingxiang to have a great and virtuous teacher, and he was willing to be under him.
Because Yu Ji didn't care about wealth, power or anything like that. He just wanted to be able to experience the world of great harmony in his dreams once, and then he would die without regrets.
At this moment, two pure idealists came together.
Su Che looked at Yu Ji in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the first week, his master Yu Ji looked down on him and left without saying goodbye after teaching him some skills.
However, in the second round, he had become a wing under his command, working for him! He was really dazed!
Top powerhouses like Yu Ji all have their own dignity. With Su Che's current strength, it is impossible to subdue them. But for the sake of his ideals, Yu Ji is willing to serve under Su Che.
Having obtained this great general, Su Che wanted to say the classic line: "The affairs of the world are in my hands!"
But he still suppressed his excitement. The lesson of the first week was still fresh in his mind, and he must guard against arrogance and impatience.
The second week has just begun here. There are still several years before the uprising in the previous life. With enough time, everything can change.
This time, Su Che doesn't want to repeat the same mistake!
That night.
Su Che and Yu Ji had a long talk in the study all night, and they talked about a lot of things in the world.
Su Che and Yu Ji are both idealists, but they are completely different.
Su Che has a good plan on how to put it into practice. His theory and methods are not bad, but his overall view is a little lacking.
This is an old problem in the first week. After all, in the real world, he is just an ordinary person at the bottom of society. It is too easy for him to manage a county and tens of thousands of followers with all kinds of theoretical knowledge.
This is also the key to Pingxiang's rapid development. Everything is within Su Che's plan.
But if the incident in Pingxiang spread to the whole world, it would be difficult for Su Che to keep up. There would be too many things to manage, and this would require the help of relevant talents.
So in the second week, Su Che learned from this lesson from the beginning and continued to discover talents, and Yu Ji was one of them.
Yu Ji has a strong sense of the overall situation. Although he is a pessimistic idealist, his vision is absolutely sharp. After a night of conversation, Su Che was completely convinced of this.
Yu Ji believed that no matter how Pingxiang developed, it was just a county!
The current level of development is sufficient, and there is not much room for further development.
Lack of land, lack of manpower, lack of liquidity!
So, it's time to expand Pingxiang to the entire Youzhou.
This step must be taken with caution. We must not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains. We must proceed steadily and expand in an organized manner. At the same time, we must pay attention to the scope of expansion. We must not exceed Youzhou!
This coincided with Su Che's thoughts in some aspects. He had been a little hesitant before, but now he made a decision directly.
Then start expanding!
also.
Yu Ji's help goes beyond that. He can observe the weather and fortune, calculate fate, and select talents for Su Che to take on important tasks through simple observation.
Compared with Su Che's previous cautious talent discovery, Yu Ji was simply a talent discovery machine, and the situation of insufficient manpower that Su Che was worried about did not happen.
Su Che readily accepted the talents recommended by Yu Ji and was not afraid of being sidelined. The two of them were honest with each other and their cooperation was naturally successful.
The wildfire of Taiping Dao, which had been deliberately suppressed, instantly spread throughout Youzhou!
And what Su Che worried about did not happen. The development of Taiping Dao was completely under Su Che's control and did not spread to other states.
In just half a year, the entire Youzhou has undergone tremendous changes.
Thanks to the line of Su Che and Zhong Changshi, with the great eunuchs blocking the way, the officials in Youzhou were miserable. They were completely sidelined, and the law enforcement power could not leave the county!
All the villages in Youzhou have become the territory of Taiping Dao. The ninety county towns in Youzhou are like isolated islands and are completely surrounded!
This is truly the countryside surrounding the city!
