Chapter 1240

"Everyone, the news from various places now, the imperial court united with several major warlords to besiege us together; what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Jiao scanned the crowd; those sitting there are the high-level officials of today's Taiping Dao regime, both civil and military, and many of them are his disciples.

Over the years, his disciples have also grown up; although they are still much worse than those few, they are also the backbone.

And most of his disciples either like to study scientific knowledge or like to mix in the army and be martial generals.

Few are good at internal affairs.

In fact, he himself doesn't like this internal affairs; before, he had no choice and had to do it himself.

Fortunately, later he got a few talents introduced by his predecessors, which also liberated him.

Especially that aristocratic disciple from Xuzhou; at first, Zhang Jiao was still a bit vigilant about the disciples of the great aristocratic families.

But after communicating with the other party, he completely understood that the other party's philosophy was similar to his, and they were like-minded.

So he was relieved; later he handed over the government affairs to the other party, and the other party handled it with ease, and even gradually exceeded him.

So he completely ignored it and let the former manage the internal affairs of the Taiping Dao; this hundred years later, the other party's ability has been recognized by everyone, both civil and military, within the Taiping Dao.

Even those unruly fierce generals did not dare to be negligent about this young scholar who looked young and ridiculous.

Today's Taiping Dao internal affairs are in the other party's hands, extremely smooth; the Taiping Dao was able to completely control the twelve provinces in just these few decades, thanks to him.

Of course, there is also the universal education promoted by the Taiping Dao before; although it is impossible for everyone to read, at least in the Taiping Dao's range, the literacy rate exceeds other warlords, so the Taiping Dao has hundreds of millions of literate people.

These people, the smart ones are promoted, and even if some are dull, at least at the grassroots level, doing those small clerk jobs is no problem.

The grassroots of the Taiping Dao are also becoming more and more vibrant under the leadership of these people; the government orders issued above can be well executed by these grassroots officials.

Although there are many obstructions, under the force of the Taiping Dao, any blocking power will only turn into ashes.

Those village elders in the countryside, the village clan elders, simply could not resist; even if the Taiping Dao did not use force, just using gentle means, they easily solved those village elders.

Previously, the Liu Han Imperial Court did not go to the countryside, and the village was autonomous; at most, when the imperial court collected taxes, it sent two small clerks, and the small clerks also docked with these village elders.

So many village elders also exploited the local area very ruthlessly, because the village elders controlled the right to speak, and those bottom-level common people simply could not resist them.

And the arrival of the Taiping Dao, the grassroots will also send people to manage, replacing those village elders; the Taiping Dao thinks for the bottom-level common people, and the bottom-level common people are not fools; they can distinguish who is good to them and who is bad to them.

Saying it well is not as good as doing it well.

Because in just a few decades, the Taiping Dao won the hearts of the common people in the twelve provinces.

And all this is under the handwriting of this young man.

And for the young man's governance policy, Zhang Jiao has not interfered for decades, completely like a hands-off shopkeeper.

And others, except for some words at the beginning, were gradually convinced by this aristocratic disciple later.

Even many became followers of this one.

"Kongming, you speak first."

Zhang Jiao scanned the crowd and then focused his eyes on Zhuge Liang, then said simply.

"Yes! Minggong."

Zhuge Liang was not restrained; the people sitting there had been together for decades, and many were his subordinates; some were guided by him hand-in-hand, and now he is in charge of the internal affairs of the twelve provinces of the Taiping Dao; in his position, he cultivates his spirit; the momentum on his body is restrained; otherwise, his momentum alone is enough to make Refining Spirit realm cultivators unable to stand up.

This is not the momentum of his cultivation, but the momentum cultivated by being in a high position for these years.

"Although the imperial court united with other warlords to attack us this time, it was obviously planned in advance."

"There must be those aristocratic families instigating behind the scenes."

Zhuge Liang had actually received a lot of news secretly before; as a smart person, he naturally understood the importance of information.

And he was born in an aristocratic family and understood the worries of those aristocratic families very well; once the Taiping Dao replaces Liu Han, then other aristocratic families will really have no good days.

It is not that the Taiping Dao must target the aristocratic families, but that the aristocratic families control too many interests and control the upward channels.

Making the bottom-level common people unable to live, they can only rebel, then troubled times, warlords contending for hegemony, then the world is decided, and in this process, countless common people die.

The population of the world is less than one in ten, and there is more land and fewer people, so it can become a prosperous age again.

But as time goes on, the population is getting larger and larger, and the land is still so much, so naturally it cannot support so many people; the bottom-level common people cannot live, so they can only rebel.

Aristocratic families are greedy, and there are really not many who are not greedy.

So this is entering a strange circle, which cannot be changed.

And the Taiping Dao is different; to change this circle, then the land cannot be controlled, so they conquer the world, the Taiping Dao will unify it, and then plan it for the bottom-level common people.

It can maximize the elimination of land annexation, and then increase the grain yield per mu through scientific means.

In this way, more grain is produced in the fields, and more people can be supported.

In addition, the Taiping Dao promotes education, making people open their wisdom, so that the bottom-level common people will not be bewitched, maximizing the possibility of reducing rebellion.

After all, the grain is sufficient, and the people have opened their wisdom, so the possibility of being bewitched to rebel is almost gone.

And it also opens up upward channels, so that the bottom-level common people have no complaints about the government, but just like this, this is all cutting meat and sucking blood on the great aristocratic families; how can they be willing?

So they are hostile to the Taiping Dao and wish they could wipe out the Taiping Dao immediately.

Zhuge Liang, as an aristocratic disciple, stood on the side of the human race; because of his vision, he understood that the future Taiping Dao is unstoppable.

And behind the Taiping Dao, there are also human sages, and even top human powerhouses; those small people simply cannot stop this human trend.

He joined the Taiping Dao and felt the volcanic vitality of the Taiping Dao, which could not be compared with the dead silence of other warlords.

The Taiping Dao's range is the true trend.

So he quickly integrated into it, and with his own wisdom, he quickly stood firm, and the trust of the Taiping Dao leader in him also shocked him.

You must know that his current status is comparable to the Prime Minister of the Liu Han Imperial Court, and even his power is greater than that of the Prime Minister.
