Ying Yuan has made his attitude clear.
So the pressure was put on Cao Cao.
So he immediately summoned officials from various departments to discuss land reform.
In the Qin Imperial Palace, inside the Council Hall.
Cao Cao looked at the ministers and assistant ministers of various ministries and said slowly:
"Land reform has been going on for some time and has yielded great results."
"However, many people were killed and injured, and now those noble families are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
"Your Majesty's intention is that anyone who dares to oppose national policy will be killed."
"However, the measures should not be too extreme. What do you think we should do next?"
"Or, who among you is willing to take up the banner and persuade the five great families to turn back from their wrong paths and stop opposing the imperial court?"
To put it bluntly, this selection is for a job that will offend people.
Because if the lobbying fails in the end.
Then in the end, the butcher knife will definitely be raised.
It is not easy to kill children from aristocratic families.
If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
But if they don't kill him, the imperial edict will be as meaningless to them.
In other words, the person Cao Cao mentioned is the one who can break the deadlock.
He must understand politics, be able to reform, have good eloquence, and preferably be proficient in all schools of thought.
After much deliberation, everyone agreed that Zhuge Liang was the most suitable candidate.
This was the suggestion put forward by Sima Yi.
After hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head decisively and said, "Although Kong Ming has the talent to govern the country, he is very good at governing the country."
"But this is directly assisting the Prime Minister and taking charge of the great cause of reform, which is inevitably a bit ineffective..."
When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Everyone knew that Cao Cao intended to protect Zhuge Liang.
Heshen took the opportunity to shrink his head. Anyway, whoever is willing to do this kind of job that offends people and is not pleasing to others can do it.
At this time, Zhuge Liang, who was standing behind him, slowly said:
"Although Your Majesty has given us the power of life and death, it is not easy to kill this person casually, whether he is a commoner or a child of a noble family. The same applies."
"I am not very talented. Although I am well versed in domestic affairs and have some knowledge of military affairs, I am afraid that when it comes to the in-depth study of 'law', I am far inferior to you gentlemen."
"However, if land reform is not carried out in accordance with the law, it will be difficult to win the support of the people. I do have a candidate who may be able to satisfy the Prime Minister."
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Kong Ming, please tell me quickly. The person you recommended must be right."
He knew Zhuge Liang's abilities.
At this time, the person recommended by the other party may really be useful.
Zhuge Liang nodded and continued, "During the war between Qin, Jin and Chu, I went to Qi to persuade the Emperor of Qi to send troops."
"At the Jixia Academy in Qi, I met a man named Wei Yang. He was a Legalist, but he was well versed in all the schools of thought."
"This man is familiar with the laws of various countries and has great ambitions. If we can invite him to Qin, the great cause of land reform will surely succeed!"
This was the first time Cao Cao heard Zhuge Liang praise someone like this.
So he said excitedly: "The important task of inviting this man to Qin is now handed over to Kong Ming."
"There's no time to lose, go and do this right away."
"I am worried that if land reform is delayed any further, it will become even more difficult to achieve success."
At present, I want to complete this task in the shortest time and at the lowest cost.
Then the only option is to burn your boats at lightning speed.
-------------------------------------
afterwards.
Zhuge Liang personally wrote a letter and sent it from Qin to Qi.
The letter traveled through mountains and rivers for about half a month and finally arrived in the hands of Wei Yang at the Jixia Academy.
At this time, Wei Yang was drinking tea with his good friend Xun Kuang in a pavilion.
When he suddenly received a letter from Zhuge Liang, he became curious and smiled after opening it and reading the contents.
Seeing this, Xun Kuang asked curiously, "What makes Brother Wei Yang so happy?"
Wei Yang handed the letter to him directly.
Xun Kuang was surprised after reading it and said, "Zhuge Liang actually asked you to come out of seclusion on behalf of the Qin Emperor?"
After a pause, his face lit up with joy again, "This is good news!"
"Brother Wei Yang, haven't you always hoped to become an official in the State of Qin?"
"Before, Brother Wei Yang has always been worried that Qin State is full of talented people. If you go there, you might just become lost in the crowd."
"But in my opinion, with Brother Wei Yang's ability, there is no need to worry about this."
Hearing this.
Wei Yang sat for a moment in deep thought, then slowly said, "Now is indeed a good time to go to Qin."
"However, the letter asks me to assist Cao Cao in carrying out land reform, which is no easy task. If I am not careful, I will be doomed."
Xun Kuang laughed and said, "Brother Wei Yang, are you afraid of this?"
"Born in an age of great contention, if I could put all I have learned into practice, I would die without regrets!"
at this time.
Wei Yang's mouth corners slightly raised.
I already have the answer in my heart.
He took the envelope, stood up suddenly, looked at the scenery outside the pavilion, and slowly tore the envelope into pieces, letting the breeze blow them away, as if muttering:
"Brother Xun, you are right. The world today can truly be called a world of great contention."
"I wonder if Brother Xun has noticed that talents from all over the world have been coming in an endless stream until now."
"Except for the war of unification in ancient times, when have so many talented people ever gathered together?"
"In this great age, it would be a real shame if I couldn't put my knowledge to use!"
Xun Kuang echoed, "Yes, let's talk about Zhuge Liang. I've met him before, and he's definitely a genius."
