Chapter 1478 Fei Ziyuan''s Guest
The changes in Shandong have not been reflected in Guanzhong for a while, but Feiqian in Guanzhong ushered in a new guest, a guest from Sichuan and Shu, Zhang Song.
Is Zhang Songchou?
It can''t be said to be ugly, but perhaps because of his origin in Sichuan and Sichuan, Zhang Song is not as tall as people in Jizhou and other places. Some people feel that they are not very easy to communicate with.
Of course, Zhang Song himself did not have such an awareness. On the contrary, when he arrived in Chang''an City, he seemed very contented. In the post station, he was not polite at all to call the person who called the post station.
However, for Fei Qian, what interests him is the group of people from Sichuan and Shu represented by Zhang Song, not Zhang Song himself.
"I have seen General Zhengxi..." Although Zhang Song is small, he wears a lot of robes, including a long coat and a small coat, which are layered at the neckline, which is very ceremonial.
On the contrary, Feiqian and his group may have stayed in Hudi for a long time, perhaps because of the influence of some novel clothes invented by Feiqian himself, or the temperature difference between the Sichuan and Sichuan regions and the Bingbei region is indeed relatively large , so the habits are also different, and the clothes are not like Zhang Song''s. Wearing so much, it seems that it doesn''t feel so grand.
"No courtesy, sit down!" Fei Qian waved his hand, and asked someone to give Zhang Song a brocade cushion.
"Thank you, General Zhengxi." Zhang Song''s eyes fell on the brocade mat, he couldn''t help being slightly stunned, and then he cupped his hands and said, "This mat is gorgeous, and it''s a doctor''s rug. It''s inferior, so it''s inconvenient to use it..."
Before Fei Qian could say anything, Pang Tong was not very happy at once, and said: "Since you are polite, you should know that Ao cannot grow, desire cannot be fulfilled, ambition cannot be fulfilled, and joy cannot be extreme. Now seeing a sage before him , but insulting words without respect, is this the way of Sichuan?"
Zhang Song said "Oh", then looked at Pang Tong, and asked knowingly, "Who are you?"
Although Pang Tong''s attainments in scriptures are higher than Fei Qian''s, the little bird without hairless chicken still lacks some experience. Seeing Zhang Songsong''s question, he subconsciously opened his mouth to answer, but Fei Qian stopped him with his hand and said : "Your envoy came here to discuss the scriptures? If you want to discuss the scriptures, you might as well go to the Shoushan Academy..."
Zhang Song couldn''t help but stagnate, and his momentum weakened immediately. He cupped his hands and said, "Of course it''s for military affairs..."
"Since that''s the case, please take a seat... A mere brocade mat is more important than military matters?" Fei Qian pointed and said bluntly.
"Only..." Zhang Song was stunned for a while, and finally said with cupped hands, sat down, and stopped talking about the brocade.
Pang Tong snorted slightly and stopped talking.
Fei Qian looked around and smiled. No way, the gentry children of the Han Dynasty had such virtues. Zhang Song said brocade mats in his words, but in fact he didn’t just refer to brocade mats, but something else, but Fei Qian didn’t want to follow Zhang Song’s words. The topic continued, falling into the rhythm prepared by Zhang Song, so I simply cut off the theory between Pang Tong and Zhang Song, and then directly talked about military affairs, which means telling Zhang Song that even if Zhang Song has the upper hand in the theory of scriptures so what?
Zhang Song obviously understood Fei Qian''s subtext, so in the end Zhang Song gave up continuing to circle around with Fei Qian. After all, he came here to talk about things, not to discuss scriptures.
"Ming Jian, General Zhengxi," Zhang Song arched his hands and said after a while, "Foreign ministers have come all the way. Seeing that Sichuan and Shu are now in dire straits, and the people have left their homes, I really can''t bear it. There is an ancient saying that those who attack should not be beheaded." Sacrifice, don''t kill Li, don''t get Ermao, I don''t know what Zhengxi thinks?"
Pang Tong, who was on the side, seemed to be unable to listen, so he couldn''t help but want to speak, and looked at Fei Qian.
Fei Qian stretched out one hand in vain, um, indeed, he could only stretch out one hand, because the other hand was still tied with a bandage. , I don’t know, but... come here! Let’s take Xu Yuanzhi’s letter!"
Immediately, an attendant at the side found Xu Shu''s cousin from the shelf at the side, and presented it to Fei Qian.
Fei Qian took it, shook it away with one hand, and spread it on the table with a clatter, and came out with a bit of momentum, "...Since entering Hanchang, I have been in charge of Guanzhong Tianzheng, and changed tithe to twenty one. With the removal of corvees and taxation, the people are all happy, and they all call it good..."
Fei Qian raised his head, took a look at Zhang Song, then lowered his head and continued to read: "...allocate a hundred thousand shi of millet and li, calm the warehouse, build porridge houses, and loan green grass. In Hanchang today, all the wild people Come on, Fushun from Fushun has a total of more than 1,300 households, and more than 400 households have been added, all thanks to the New Deal..."
Fei Qian shook Xu Shu''s expression, then smiled without saying a word.
"This..." Zhang Song rolled his eyes, unable to think of any words for a moment.
Facts are facts, and Zhang Song can also forcibly argue that the statement is wrong or something, but that would be tantamount to failure. After all, Zhang Song was originally based on the fine traditions of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, standing on the commanding heights of righteousness. Debate, and once it turns into a debate about the specific authenticity of a watch, it is actually tantamount to the failure of Zhang Song''s original strategy.
It’s not that Fei Qian didn’t know what Zhang Song meant. Zhang Song’s words came from the scriptures. It was originally an event that happened when Wu State attacked Chen State during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period. At that time, the army of the State of Wu attacked the State of Chen, because the State of Chen was considered to be a relatively early country in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although its national power was not strong, it was still the surname of Gui passed down by Duke Zhou. The land of Wuyue was attacked to express my sorrow...
As the so-called northern barbarians, South Yue mountain people.
Of course, Zhang Song does not think that Sichuan and Shu are marginal areas, but thinks that there are a lot of ancient relics left in Sichuan and Shu. This is naturally a period of different opinions, and Fei Qian will not say anything about it, and he doesn''t bother to make peace Zhang Song argued morally, but just took out the value and placed it in front of Zhang Song.
Chunqiu not only has many righteous men, but also many debaters.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Dazai Pi made some ingenious arguments, which made Fu Chai, the king of Wu, feel embarrassed for a while. Momentum, the third aspect is Liu Zhang''s turn to speak for Liu Zhang.
Zhang Song''s rhetoric is not wrong to a certain extent. After all, in the Han Dynasty, wars still valued rules. As the saying goes, teachers must be famous, otherwise, even if they win the battle, they will not be convinced; Burning, killing, looting, capturing captives, etc. all have to have an explanation, otherwise, they will be called "unrighteous teachers".
So at this point in time, there is basically no such thing as "calling and fighting", most of them need to swear before going out, and the main content of the swearing is nothing more than a list of various names and sayings. That is to find reasons and excuses in order to convince those who participated in the war to believe that the war behavior this time is an act of etiquette and justice.
Any war, no matter how grand the reason is, is actually a conflict of political interests. However, conflicts of interest are conflicts, and there must always be some boundaries that cannot be surpassed, such as massacring prisoners and civilians for no reason, unlimited and purposeless Rape and looting, taking the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled as hostages for siege, etc., such inhumane actions cannot be offset by any grandiose reasons.
In a sense, war should also be a kind of fair competition according to certain rules. Names are important, but so are rules.
Fei Qian suddenly remembered a book that later generations had read. It was written by a Sichuanese. The opening chapter was about the Three Kingdoms. But it''s not dark enough and thick enough, so in the end the three of them each get one side...
In a sense, what Master Li said is not wrong. After all, Cao Cao is indeed black enough, Liu Bei is thick enough, and Sun Quan is both dark and thick. Of course, in fact, these three people are also dark and thick, not to mention other things, after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, where did the money for rewarding his subordinates come from? It fell from the sky? As a result, there were too many rewards, and the economic market in Sichuan and Sichuan was in chaos. It took nearly ten years for Brother Zhu to recover.
"General Zhengxi is really extraordinary..." Zhang Song laughed, alleviating his embarrassment, "I heard it in the past, but seeing it today, it is even more famous!"
Feiqian smiled, but didn''t talk to him. After all, he also knew that Zhang Song must have other things to say, and the polite words that deliberately humble others are not very meaningful.
Sure enough, Zhang Song didn''t continue to brag, but said in a flash: "I don''t know if General Zhengxi wants to take Sichuan or Shuchuan?"
"How do you get it, how do you get it?" Fei Qian looked at Zhang Song, and didn''t want to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, so he cooperated more or less and made some behaviors of flattering.
"If you want to take it, the army is tossing and turning in the mountains, the transportation of money and food is difficult for cattle and horses, and the city is exhausted when you attack the city... Do you want to get it..." Zhang Song said brightly, "A certain master has no intention of disobeying General Zhengxi. Soldiers, let’s negotiate a peace here... the people of Sichuan and Shu must be very grateful, so the general will benefit from it, and my lord will also enjoy peace, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?"
Zhang Song is indeed a talent. It is rare to be able to tell such a thing so freshly and refined. Maybe it was all the previous plans that were disrupted by Fei Qian, or maybe it was because he felt that those clichés would not achieve any effect, so Zhang Song hardly said anything confusing, but expressed his intentions extremely accurately.
Two strokes to strike.
It means that as long as Fei Qian does not attack Chengdu, everything will be fine. As for Hanchang and other places in Brazil County that have been occupied by Fei Qian, Zhang Song didn''t mention a word, and the meaning is quite obvious.
In addition, Zhang Song also emphasized the Sichuan and Shu people...
However, Fei Qian still has his own ideas.
Feiqian was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and said: "This matter is of great importance, let me think about it... Zi Qiao has come a long way, and it is also hard work. I will hold a small banquet tomorrow, and I will clean up Zi Qiao''s dust, and I hope Zi Qiao will appreciate it..."
"General Xiangzhu, please obey!" Zhang Song also knew that this matter could not be settled in a day or two. Now that he had expressed his intention and set a price, Fei Qian would naturally want to negotiate with his subordinates no matter what. After discussing one or two, he naturally agreed with a smile, and then he said goodbye and left.
Fei Qian got up and gave it away, which is considered to be a courtesy. As for this point, Fei Qian felt that there was no need to operate like Cao Cao, after all, there is no righteousness in buying and selling. Where Zhang Song went to Cao Cao in history is actually somewhat similar to today. After all, it is normal to raise his own social status. Cao Cao''s possible choice back then was to ignore it at all and let Zhang Song hang out. As a result, Zhang Song lost face, so he became angry and turned around to vote for Liu Bei.
For Cao Cao at that time in history, the land of Sichuan and Shu was indeed dispensable. After all, Cao Cao’s base camp was in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, where the economic, cultural and political centers were located. It''s just an attachment in name, and it doesn''t have much effect in reality, so Cao Cao is not used to Zhang Song at all.
Feiqian here is not the same as Cao Cao in history at that time. For the current Feiqian, Sichuan and Shu are an important grain production base. With the same amount of manpower and the same one mu of land, the grain production in Sichuan and Shu will be about twice that of Bingbei and Longyou, or even like those near Chengdu. In the Dujiangyan area, it may even be three times. In this way, if Feiqian wants to develop in Guanzhong, then the food in Sichuan and Shu has become an indispensable foundation.
Use the excess grain and grass from the east of Taiyuan to supply the expenditure of Beiyin Mountain, and use the land of Hanzhong to supply the grain and grass gap in Guanzhong. This is the current situation in Feiqian. Of course, Guanzhong and Yinshan also produce grain, but one is consumed by Guanzhong itself. It is big in itself, and the other thing is that it is good to be able to balance the expenditure in the early stage of Yinshan reclamation, so if Feiqian wants to make some strategic reserves, it cannot be said that he is very rich just relying on the existing grain and grass output.
In addition, because of the north-south wars in these years, some of the food and grass that had been collected before were basically consumed. If Feiqian hadn''t tried to find some fat to make up for the gap in carbohydrates, it might have begun to appear on Feiqian''s site now Grain panicked.
Therefore, Sichuan and Shu, a land of grain production, must be in their own hands in order to be truly safe.
"My lord, now..." Pang Tong asked from the side, "What should I do with Zi Qiao''s intention? Should we talk or..."
"Talk!" Fei Qian said with a smile, "Why not?"
Pang Tong raised his eyebrows, somewhat puzzled. After all, Fei Qian had told Pang Tong two days ago that Huang Cheng would bring the mountain camp into Sichuan...
"Talk! How can you talk if you don''t fight?" Fei Qian smiled. There are many things to talk about while fighting in later generations, so he is not as hard-headed as Pang Tong. , if we can make a wave, maybe it will be easier to talk about!"
Pang Tong was stunned, and couldn''t help clapping his hands and laughing...
