Chapter 14 Living next to each other

Ye Hua got an official secretary, and Chen Shi was also very good at doing so. He was appointed as Guo Wei's personal army. He went to get armor and prostrated himself. As a result, he heard about it. It was said that last night, Mr. Guo had found several trusted officials to discuss the situation. Among them, Feng Dao presented a list and suggested that Guo Wei immediately search the property of these officials, demoted them to slaves, and give them to meritorious soldiers!

Everyone was scolding in private, and Old Fengdao was really shameless.

You have been in three dynasties. If Guo Wei becomes emperor, then he will be the elders of four dynasties. It doesn’t matter how many masters you have changed, others should die. Is this the reason in this world?

It is said that some people even threw poops at Feng Dao's mansion, making Tai Shi Feng feel embarrassed.

However, no matter what others think or do, Feng Dao still does his own way. As for Guo Wei, he trusts and respects Feng Dao very much, which is a confidant.

"I said Huazi, will Prince Guo be a fool?" Chen Shi said in confusion.

Ye Hua knocked on his forehead without hesitation and warned seriously: "Shitou, you are now the personal guards of Marshal Guo. As a subordinate, you should learn to be loyal! Learn to shut up! Say less bad words about the boss! I will give you eight words: read more, listen more, remember more, and say less!"

Chen Shi stuck out his tongue, muttered twice, and then nodded vigorously, "Huazi, you are so awesome. These eight words are so good, I've recorded them!"

"It's not what I said, it was given to me by Grand Master Feng!"

"Feng Dao? He won't want to harm you, right?" Chen Shi said exaggeratedly. In his heart, Feng Dao was completely black. He began to speculate on Feng Dao with the worst malicious intention. However, Ye Hua, he had another thought.

Last night, Guo Wei discussed the reward of soldiers with everyone, which Ye Hua heard with his own ears.

Feng Dao proposed to search the property of officials, mostly to fill the holes and reward the rewards they received to the arrogant generals under Guo Wei. Everyone said that Old Feng Dao is a bad guy, so why not change his mind. If you don’t search for officials, where can you get the money to reward the three armies?

The Ministry of Revenue, the Three Divisions, or the Emperor's Treasury?

Don’t joke, since the Anshi Rebellion, there have been constant wars and the people’s power has withered for two hundred years. Especially in the Five Dynasties, every time the city is broken, it is accompanied by looting, burning and killing, and there is almost no luck!

The reason is very simple. No one is willing to work hard without money. Let Mr. Qiu Ba fight you with an empty stomach. Sorry, they are not the Yue family army, and there are no three disciplines and eight points to pay attention to... If you dare not let them eat and drink enough, these people will kill you if they turn against each other, and then change to a new boss or even a new emperor. Anyway, everyone has been playing like this for two hundred years!

Even if Guo Wei is known for his kindness and righteousness, it is hard to make a cook without rice. He led his troops into Kaifeng and would still allow everyone to snatch and kill for three days, satisfying the big guy's appetite, and then gathering the team and restoring order, otherwise the soldiers would turn against each other!

It’s just that Ye Hua’s existence has deviated.

He took the initiative to collect the body of the Guo family, and hundreds of righteous people participated, and later tens of thousands of people clashed with the court... In this way, even if the people of Kaifeng took the initiative to surrender to Guo Wei, they became their own people. After Guo Wei entered the city, of course, he had to do his best to restrain his subordinates and reduce the killings.

In fact, Guo Wei only allowed 30,000 people to enter the city, and nearly 100,000 people remained outside the city.

Feng Dao said that Ye Hua saved hundreds of thousands of people and had immeasurable merits. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was definitely not aimless.

After figuring out these, we can understand why Wang Jun felt uncomfortable and resentful to Feng Dao. Wang Jun died of his family and felt hatred in his heart. There were so many people under him who were all waiting for food with their mouths open and they were not allowed to rob, burn and kill. Could it be that they would let Wang Jun cook meat?

If you don’t search for all officials, you will loot the people. Choose one of them, and there is no third possibility!

Ye Hua said the truth, "Stone, what would you choose if it is?"

"I?"

Chen Shi widened his eyes. How should he choose? There is no choice!

As long as they have some conscience, they will attack the officials. After all, these people are corrupt and abused the law and are careless of human lives. There are few good things. Even if someone is wronged, Feng Dao also suggested that they can only demote them to slaves and save their lives.

If you attack the people, you will really be bloody... What really puzzled Chen Shi is that Feng Dao is a good person? He is really thinking about the people?

Chen Shi felt like he was ruining his views...

Ye Hua held his hands and fell into deep reflection. From the days he traveled through time, whether he saved Xiao Guo, or went to collect the body for the Guo family, and encouraged the people to incite the people to incite the trouble... he was full of danger step by step. If he was not careful, he would lose his life.

Take saving people as an example. Even if they can hide in a dilapidated temple, can they escape other beggars? What's more, they played the trick of sacrificing porridge, which attracted a large number of greedy eyes. With the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, they could not protect themselves at all. Fortunately, Han Tong helped and found a loyal helper to protect Xiao Guo's safety.

As for collecting corpses and causing trouble, there were even more crises. If Feng Dao hadn't stopped the conflict, he might have died long ago with Ye Hua's small body and would have been unable to wait for Boss Guo to enter the city.

Also, if it weren't for a letter from Mrs. Chai, how could Guo Wei believe that Xiao Guo was his son? If Boss Guo refused to recognize this child, wouldn't he have committed the crime of pretending to be a relative? No ten heads were enough to cut them down!

...

Ye Hua reflected on these things, but he didn't regret it. He thought it very clearly that everything he did was risky, and he had no capital at all. In this unprecedentedly chaotic world, if he didn't dare to gamble, fight, or take risks, he would only be trampled under his feet forever, like wild grass, with the possibility of turning over.

It’s like the first money you make in business. Who makes so open and honest? Impeccable?

No matter what, Ye Hua won the bet!

He is the nephew who Guo Wei admires. After becoming the secretary, he finally got the "first bet of gold". Next, he should be honest and cautious, crossing the river with his eggs. If he still wants to continue betting, there will be danger of capsizing at any time!

Moreover, Ye Hua was able to win by betting because of his grasp of the general trend of history.

But what if history books are unreliable?

After all, history is cultivated by humans, and anyone has his own position. A person who has done countless things must not be recorded. For the sake of "personality", the historians have to make choices.

Guo Wei was the hero, so he had to mention the matter of breaking into Kaifeng and looting, and Feng Dao was a shameless person, so his behavior of protecting the people and loving the people should be downplayed as much as possible.

For example, Feng Dao went to pay homage to the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, and was very flattering and humble.

Yelu Deguang asked him what kind of old man he was. He said he was a stupid and dull old man who was talented and unvirtuous, and asked the people of the world how to save him. Feng Dao said that even if the Buddha descended to earth, he could not save him, but His Majesty could save him!

These words are shameless examples and are disgusting. Lao Fengdao's character is really worrying.

But from another perspective, Feng Dao flattered and despised himself. Yelu Deguang was very helpful, alleviating the massacre of the Central Plains and saving the lives of millions of people...

Is it right or wrong to win the survival of countless people with his own infamy?

Historians have argued this question for thousands of years, and Ye Hua certainly doesn't know what the answer is.

But he knew one thing, that anyone has two complicated sides. The little books he read and the little stories he knew were only used as a reference. Don't take them seriously, otherwise he would not have lost his life even if he had never been able to achieve wealth and prosperity. It would be worthless.

Ye Hua also figured it out, just follow the eight words Feng Dao said, be honest in doing things, and never get involved in things that should not be mixed. It is like a young tiger. Before it grows sharp teeth, it is best to hide in the grass honestly and never think about dominating the forest. Any wild boar or a sika deer can kick you to death...

Ye Hua, who had been silent for a long time, smiled. He figured it out and had a way to deal with the future, and he felt relaxed.

At this moment, Han Tong walked into the room with a smile and shouted: "I'll congratulate you on your housewarming. Are you good wine?"
