These words reached Sima Yi's heart.

At first, Sima Yi thought of joining Cao Cao's army, but later he gradually got to know Cao Cao, and he was a kind of person.

Gradually, he lost his mind.

Maybe Dongyanghou would appreciate him?

Sima Yi felt hot in his heart.

When the two chatted deeply, Sima Yi began to express his opinion, saying: "Dongyang Hou, the power of the gentry is very strong in the world today, why don't you use their power? In this way, Yangzhou will be unbreakable."

For the gentry now, Liu Ke generally uses it when he can use it, and just hangs it when he doesn't need it, pretending not to see it.

As long as they don't stand up and disgust people, it's fine.

This made Sima Yi very puzzled.

The potential of Yangzhou is unlimited, and the power of the gentry has not been developed at all.

"The gentry has become an unstoppable trend. As a qualified ruler, you have to take it into consideration." Liu Ke said.

However, Sima Yi held a different view, saying: "The gentry is a double-edged sword, and with Dongyanghou's ability, he can definitely control it. This is a troubled time, and Dongyanghou should unite all forces to win the world."

"What about after seizing the world? No one will suppress the gentry," Liu Ke said.

"After seizing the world, who would dare to resist you? At that time, they will be settled one by one," Sima Yi said.

What a cruel heart!

In other words, if you run out of gentry, just get rid of them.

Everything is to seize the world as the highest task.

As for other matters, we will settle them after we seize the world.

Liu Ke always takes one step and counts as a hundred steps.How could it be possible to open such an opening unless it was absolutely necessary.

"It's definitely not my intention to kill people's heads," Liu Ke said.

"The Marquis of Dongyang was decisive in killing and attacking, why did he hesitate at the critical moment." Sima Yi said, this sentence was already very rude.

"To kill decisively is against the enemy, and against one's own people, this is inhumane." Liu Ke said.

Hearing this, Sima Yi sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu relied on the gentry to start their fortunes. This move of yours can indeed draw out the bottom line and deal them a fatal blow. Unfortunately, I can't use it." Liu Ke said.

Both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are younger brothers, so there is no need to fatten the nobles.

Liu Ke finally passed the imperial examination to create the current situation, and there is no room for loss.

"Besides, the gentry cannot adapt to Yangzhou." Liu Ke said.

"The Marquis of Dongyang means..." Sima Yi was puzzled.

"Yangzhou is changing with each passing day, and a new era is about to begin. This is the collision of the new era and the old era." Liu Ke said.

What is the new age and the old age?

Is it simply to develop business?

Sima Yi couldn't understand.

Seeing Sima Yi's expression, Liu Ke knew that he was so arrogant that it was impossible for him to stay in Yangzhou.

However, Liu Ke still hopes that Sima Yi can recognize himself.

"Sima Zhongda is famous all over the world, why not take the imperial examination in Yangzhou, so that you can discover the difference of the times." Liu Ke said.

Of course Sima Yi knew about the imperial examinations.

Liu Ke is cultivating a brand-new gentry. In the future, to be called a gentry will only be a generation of knowledgeable people who take the imperial examination as an honor.

Rather than a family with the same surname.

As for whether Sima Yi can understand it, it depends on his experience.

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!" Sima Yi said boldly and honestly.

He didn't believe that someone was better than himself, so this time, he was determined to take part in the imperial examination.

"Zihuan, you are in charge of teaching Sima Zhongda the knowledge of the imperial examination." Liu Ke said to Cao Pi who was beside him.

"Students take orders!" Cao Pi said.

This imperial examination will be a battle between dragons and tigers.

Cao Pi sighed, and said, "I'm afraid Zhongda will have a hard time getting ahead this time."

This sentence surprised Sima Yi.He didn't trust Liu Ke, but he believed in Cao Pi very much.

"How do you say that?" Sima Yi asked.

"Zhongda can know a word, crouching dragon and phoenix chicks can be safe in the world." Cao Pi said.
