Chu Huan was both shocked and admired at this moment. People said that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. When Chu Huan heard Ximen Yi's words, he felt that his mind was really clear.

There are many talented people around him, civil officials and military generals, all of whom are gathered together.

Pei Ji is good at training troops and fighting and marching and setting up formations. Pei Ji is naturally the first to be the leader. Many political affairs before, including Gongsun Chu, Wei Wuji, Du Fu and others, can be considered to be easy to handle.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that the seemingly sloppy and unpretentious Ximen Yi had such a profound vision and a thorough look at the problem, which was obviously not comparable to Gongsun Chu and others.

Every word from Ximen Yi hits Chu Huan’s softest part. Before that, Chu Huan occasionally feels confused about the way forward.

Although he was determined to avenge Chang Tiangu's blood feud, he was essentially a casual person. Most of the time he could get to this day was forced by the situation, not subjective.

Because of this, even though he subconsciously knew where he should go, his future was always a little confused. Even Pei Ji and others could not really make Chu Huan feel that his future was clear.

But what Ximen Yi said tonight really made me feel enlightened.

He was surprised. There was no doubt that Ximen Yi was not the madman that the gentry called. Now it seems that this person is not crazy, but is full of moral character.

The madman and the genius are already on the front line. Perhaps before this, what Ximen Yi showed was a crazy side.

But if Ximen Yi has always concealed his true talents, why did he fully show it in front of him today? With Ximen Yi's knowledge and talent, coupled with his family background, it is not difficult to really seek development in the career of the officialdom. Moreover, at the beginning of Yingyuan's founding, he did take a series of measures to recruit talents, and Ximen Yi did not have the opportunity to do so.

He was obviously extremely indifferent to his career before, but this time he was talking nonsense. Chu Huan and him were just the first time they met, but he was quite puzzled why Ximen Yi spoke frankly to him.

Chu Huan pondered slightly and finally asked: "Sir, if you want to implement the equalization order in various places in the future, you will inevitably suppress the powerful forces of the local gentry, or even cleanse bloody!" He paused slightly before saying: "But the powerful gentry is not evil!"

Ximen Yi had already smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. You want to say that the powerful and powerful gentry are not all people with corrupt character. There are many noble people among them. Governor Chu suddenly cut off the butcher knife at these people. Governor Chu couldn't bear it. I wonder if this is the meaning?"

Chu Huan said: "Maybe."

"Governor Chu will not understand the truth about being kind and righteous, but not wealth, right?" Ximen Yi smiled and said: "Throughout ancient times, those who have achieved great things must be decisive. If there are grand goals, all obstacles on the road need to be eliminated mercilessly. Governor Chu, history has always been bloody. Some contradictions cannot be the best of both worlds and cannot be resolved. You can only eliminate the contradiction with blood!" Staring at Chu Huan's eyes, he said: "Governor Chu is decisive and not ruthless to the enemy, but if you really want to achieve a career, then your enemy will not be just a battle of soldiers on the battlefield. Any obstacle that blocks the overall situation, even the closest person around you will be your enemy!"

Chu Huan frowned slightly, and Ximen Yi laughed and said, "Governor Chu seems to be confused?"

"Mr. Ximen, according to your opinion, where should I go next?" Chu Huan said seriously: "Implementing the equal-field order will benefit the country and the people, but I also know that if there is no support from local gentry at this time, the road will be difficult to walk!"

"It's hard to leave?" Ximen Yi sneered: "Governor Chu, you should say that without the support of local gentry and powerful people, you will be unable to move forward in the future. In all places, resources, money and grain are almost 80% in the hands of local gentry. If you want to dominate the world, you have no money and grain resources, that is undoubtedly a dream. Of course, you have a powerful Northwest Iron Cavalry in your hands. Every place you go, you can rob and rob and replenish military supplies. And this may not necessarily support you to go on. But you understand better than me. If you just walk on like this, you will dance on the edge of the cliff. If you can jump to the end, you will naturally be the best of all warriors, laughing at the world and despising the sky, but if you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff and fall to pieces!"

Chu Huan looked solemn and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"If you indulge in Tongzhou, slaughter the powerful, and eradicate the gentry in Tongzhou, of course, you will have the conditions to implement the Juntian Order in Tongzhou." Ximen Yi also looked serious, "But from now on, all the gentry in the world will regard you as a natural enemy, and all the gentry will worry that once you succeed, you will send them to the grave because of the Juntian Order. In this way, they will force them to resist to the death. They will wipe you out at all costs and will generously support your opponent. Although you have tens of thousands of soldiers now, by your heart, your strength is not the strongest. If you lose the support of these people again, how far do you think you can go?"

Chu Huan pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Sir, can you still drink?"

Ximen Yi stretched and said, "I am not happy with alcohol. I can drink as much as you have. You can see my alcohol tolerance. Don't say you want to fight with me!"

"It's not enough to fight wine." Chu Huan laughed and said, "I didn't drink a few sips before. Let's have a few more drinks."

Ximen Yi shook his head and said, "You don't have to mention a few glasses. If you don't have three or five jars of wine here, you can't drink it happily. Since it's unhappy, you'll just stop drinking!"

Chu Huan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Come here, bring five jars of wine!"

In the side hall, Chu Huan and Ximen Yi were holding a jar of wine, sitting opposite each other, raised their heads and took a big mouthful. Ximen Yi said: "It is good to implement the Juntian Order, but such a serious plan is definitely not allowed to be allowed. If you are not careful, you will not waste all your previous efforts, but you will still be crushed to pieces. Governor Chu could think that it is indeed a clever to implement the Juntian Order after the war, but there is a saying that is good, that is, haste, does not achieve success. Governor Chu must be cautious and cautious when he is above the Juntian Order."

Chu Huan asked sincerely: "Sir, just now, there are two roads in front of me. The implementation of the equalization order can capture the hearts of the people, but they will lose the hearts of the powerful and powerful gentry. However, if you do not do this, it will be difficult to achieve it. Moreover, the finances must be controlled by the powerful to some extent." The body leaned forward slightly, "Sir, what path should I take now?"

Ximen Yi smiled and said, "I only ask Governor Chu, do you want to settle down in a corner or fight for dominance in the world?"

Chu Huan was stunned, silent for a moment, and finally said: "Sir, you should know that in today's chaotic times, the world's disputes, if local divisions are divided, then the war will never stop and the people will suffer. Moreover, since I have left the customs, Qin has regarded me as a thorn in my eyes, and it is impossible to sit idly by. Even if I want to settle down in a corner, I am afraid that others will not agree."

"Okay." Ximen Yi smiled and said, "Governor Chu is honest and can I speak frankly. If Governor Chu wants to settle down in a corner, since the foundation of the equal-field order in the northwest has been established and has created momentum, then even if there is resistance, with Governor Chu's current strength, it is easy to clear the obstacles. But if Governor Chu wants to fight for dominance in the world, in my opinion, not to mention that the equal-field order cannot be implemented at present, maybe within ten or eight years, you should not have such an idea."

"oh?"

"What is the basis for fighting for dominance in the world?" Ximen Yi smiled faintly and said, "People's hearts? Yes, from ancient times to the present, people's hearts are indeed indispensable. But in my opinion, the most important thing for the Northwest Army is money and grain, which is people. Implementing the equal-field order can certainly make you deeply admire the people, but even if you do not implement the equal-field order, you may not be able to win the people's hearts!" He smiled indifferently and said, "In my opinion, money and grain are more important than the people's hearts. Not many people in the world understand the truth that is too profound. As long as they can survive, they will not cause trouble. As long as the Governor Chu can restrain his subordinates and not force the people too much, they will not cause trouble. Therefore, the equal-field order does not depend on the temporary."

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and Ximen Yi continued: "In fact, it is an extremely important moment for Governor Chu. I am afraid that many people in the world are watching Governor Chu's next actions. If you suppress the gentry and powerful in Tongzhou, as we said just now, the gentry in the world will regard you as an enemy, and you will lose the support of the most powerful force in the world. But if you can treat the gentry well here, you will control them in your hands and make them willingly support you.

If you hold on to you, the road ahead will be much smoother." He raised his head and took a gulp, and smiled and said, "After the Northwest Army entered the city system, we will make three rules to not harass the people and protect the property and personal safety of the powerful and powerful gentry. These will soon be spread. Once this is the case, I estimate that whenever we go there, even if the gentry and powerful will not take the initiative to vote, they will never be disgusted with you, and they will not do their best to support your opponent."

"rational."

"When you are not rich, you are fighting to dominate the world and wars are frequent. Naturally, you must rely on these powerful gentry, but you cannot be controlled by them." Ximen Yi said seriously: "When you are strong and strong, you can naturally implement other policies and slowly solve the problem of powerful gentry, and you must not be too hasty."

Chu Huan put down the jar of wine and bowed, "Thank you for your advice, sir." He asked again, "Mr. I just mentioned the banner, but I don't know!"

Ximen Yi smiled profoundly and said, "Governor Chu has a legitimate and good banner, but he doesn't need it. Why?"

"What do you mean by sir?"

Ximen Yi raised his hand and pointed at a few jars of wine, "Since you don't know yet, let's drink all these wines, and then say, what do you think?"

Seeing that Ximen Yi was confident, Chu Huan knew that he was ready. Although he was curious, he was also very happy. He held the wine jar in both hands, and for a moment he was full of enthusiasm and said loudly: "Come on, Mr. Ximen, don't be drunk!"
