Chapter 1916 Chickens fly and dogs jump, pigs in the wind
Although at the beginning, many people did not realize what kind of impact the Taiyuan Wang family''s title issue had, because the Taiyuan Wang family had basically been reduced since Wang Yun''s time. The embarrassing status quo, but it can''t bring about the promotion of the position, so at the beginning, many people were only talking about whether the title can be awarded to women, and even thought it was just an oversight, which would be corrected soon.
The same is true for Zhi Yinjian. At the beginning, he thought that General Hussars had assigned Cai Yan one position after another, a vain position, and then found more and more female officers, so that he began to make real and practical arrangements. When it was just a vase that was just hung up or put out, many people suddenly realized that this straight Yinjian really wanted to do something?
As this after-dinner topic gradually became more and more talked about, and after the two matters of Lady Wang and Jian Yin were connected with each other, some guys with a keen sense of smell discovered that General Hussars seemed to have nothing to do with these two matters. evaluation of…
Sometimes, the absence of evaluation is itself an evaluation.
So many people were taken aback, what is General Hussar doing? Do you really want to use women as officials?
Although there are only a few of them, these are all official titles and positions officially appointed by the imperial court, which are completely different from the so-called madams, queen mothers, etc. who are attached to men...
This is completely independent and belongs to women''s official positions and titles. It is not someone''s wife or so-and-so''s queen mother!
This conclusion was beyond the expectation of these gentry children, and many people didn''t know what kind of reaction they should make for a while, although these people couldn''t figure out the profound meaning behind General Hussar''s promotion of this matter for a while, However, if we analyze this incident in conjunction with Hushi''s previous behaviors, it will definitely not be easy!
Hussar General Fei Qian has not made many new tricks?
Which time was not like an earthquake, shaking the old frameworks to shake or even collapse?
Among other things, the theories put forward by Qinglong Temple Dalun, even the sages were slapped as sages or teachers...
Just because it makes sense in theory, doesn’t mean it’s easy to accept emotionally.
Because everyone''s position is different.
Some guys with a keen sense of smell in politics quickly connected these existing situations with some previous things, and felt that after Feiqian finished the theoretical basis, he began to allocate and cut the living space for the children of the gentry. If Confucius'' transformation from a sage to a sage represents a decline in the value of the gentry''s scriptures and family heirs, then the titles and official positions of women will undoubtedly thin out the few positions that were originally not many, making the already highly competitive environment even more difficult. Complicated and messy.
If it really goes on like this, maybe in the future, without outsiders doing anything in the big family, your own family will collapse first! Women can hold positions and be knighted, so when it comes to inheritance rights, how should they be divided?
Family inheritance is going to be a big mess.
Therefore, when the locusts spread from Heluo and began to erode Guanzhong and Hedong, and then rumors began to come out from nowhere, many children of the gentry began to perform, and then waited with a kind of gloating Watch the show.
Being an official, how easy is it to be?
Regardless of whether you have actual civil affairs experience or not, just the means and ability to deal with things when you encounter them are the basic criteria for testing whether a person can be a good official. I think that even for Hussar General Fei Qian, it will be a very big problem to clean up the messy situation and the refugees caused by locusts, and under such circumstances, Hussar General Fei Qian must make some choose…
After the locust plague, there will be no crops. At that time, there will be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of mouths waiting to eat. No matter how capable the Hussar General is, how much food can he conjure up?
Under such a situation, General Hussars must only compromise!
Robbery?
Hehe, do you know what it means to be barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes?
Because normally speaking, shoes and bare feet are not equal in many aspects, but once it becomes mutual fighting, then it is equivalent to saying that both sides are on the same line. General Hussar''s soldiers don''t know anything, they are fools who only know how to fight. What happens after the guy who robs the people?
As long as Fei Qian is not crazy, he will naturally not rob.
So many gentry children are waiting to see the jokes of the female officials.
But what I didn''t expect was that Fei Qian took the female officer to meet the locusts in the pass, and blocked them abruptly!
Although some of this is God''s help, after all, it is getting colder every day, and the northwest wind is getting stronger every day, so the locusts flying north and west are against the wind, which is relatively difficult, and the number is naturally smaller than those flying south and east. A few, but no matter what, the locust plague this time did not have a serious impact. Most of the Zhuanghe in Guanzhong got a timely harvest, and only a part of Zuo Fengyi''s field was lost, which did not spread as expected by these gentry children. so serious...
And this is just the beginning.
Immediately, General Hussars ordered the opening of the military granary located in Zuo Fengyi. After enough rations were left for the soldiers, Pang Tong was responsible for allocating the remaining food for disaster relief. At the same time, all the female officers of Zhi Yinjian officially ordered Zuo Fengyi to check and count Zuo Fengyi''s affected population, check the disaster situation, determine post-disaster subsidies, compile them into a book, and send it to Chang''an for verification.
General Hussars''s office will formulate a plan to allocate money, food and grass based on the account books submitted by Zuo Fengyi. In addition, a series of measures by Zuo Fengyi have also reached the Hedong area, and the local big family Pei also cooperates. On the one hand, they must properly appease The disaster victims, on the other hand, need to assist the disaster victims to rebuild, so that the areas that had already had refugee flows have been re-stabilized.
Tongguan has done a good job of receiving, resettling, and isolating refugees, etc., and began to receive refugees from Heluo and Chenliu in Yanzhou...
At the same time, General Hussar''s Mansion Feiqian also asked Zaozhi to send a large number of agricultural scholars to assist Chunyuying in removing eggs and deep plowing where the locusts settled, so as not to delay next year''s spring plowing.
In addition, the Hussar General''s Mansion also issued a military order to let the soldiers stationed in the local area assist the local officials, and to fully assist in the restoration of farming in the disaster area. When necessary, the garrison can be sent to participate in burning wasteland, reclamation, plowing, etc...
The series of orders from General Hussar''s Mansion are dizzying. When passing and executing these orders, I have to express my admiration for General Hussars Fei Qian...
Looking at this posture, it turned out to be so orderly and undisturbed, as if Hussar General Fei Qian had experienced more than a dozen natural disasters and had rich experience in dealing with them.
In such an age, even hooping a wooden barrel is not a skill that is easily taught. General Fei Qian, the hussars general, who dealt with the disaster calmly and comprehensively, seems to be self-taught. Could it be true? There is the existence of a person gifted by heaven?
When some people realized that it seemed that Fei Qian could not be troubled, some gentry children who were good at maneuvering immediately took action, moved some money and food from various hidden warehouses, and then sent them to the Hussar General''s Mansion. The long chariots and horses Stretching from the gate of the government office to the outside of the road, a large group of officials, big and small, wearing brocade robes and crowns, are arranged according to their status, just to meet the Hussar General, say a few words, and show some presence. feel…
Of course, the most important thing is to express an attitude with such an action. They support General Hussars and Fei Qian. They didn''t participate in the so-called rumors in the market before, and they don''t know or know what it is. what a thing.
In a sense, these people''s actions are undoubtedly correct. They may not have really participated in this matter, but just quietly observed the progress of the situation and waited for the final result. From their consideration of their career prospects See, it''s definitely the right thing to do. But judging from their responsibilities, it is undoubtedly wrong to do so. An ambiguous position will inevitably affect their attitude in handling daily official affairs, thus causing many local issues that need to be resolved to be delayed and put on hold. In normal times, doing so might not cause too many problems, but in some special situations, like the current disaster, it will often be magnified and eventually cause very serious consequences...
Fei Qian is actually not skilled like a machine from the beginning...
When he first arrived in Pingyang, Fei Qian, as a novice who had just stepped onto the political stage, faced another piece of land that had gone through battles, was desolate and abandoned for a long time, and even the city was in ruins. Since he stepped into Pingyang At that moment in the city, he was overwhelmed by countless things that needed to be dealt with urgently.
Labor, pensions, rewards, resettlement, just a bunch of military affairs is enough, and civil affairs are also added, and at that time there was only Du Yuan and Jia Qu, both of whom were novices, really I was so busy that I didn''t even have time to go to the toilet.
But it was also the experience of that period of time, so there are various orders and actions that Feiqian seems to be taking lightly.
This incident also made Fei Qian realize that even though he has got the Xijing Shangshutai now, it seems that the foundation is stable, but in fact there are still many people sitting on the fence.
Speaking of it, the will of the group is a very strange thing. Sometimes it will be pulled by some inexplicable events, and sometimes it will be changed because of conscience, but most of the time, the will of the group is the biggest fencer. The wind direction, then fall to that side.
Profit is the wind.
When the wind comes, pigs can fly.
Of course, it also includes chickens and dogs that squat smaller next to pigs.
So when the wind suddenly stops, is it the pig that falls first, or the chicken, or the dog?
Feiqian looked up at the sky, as if there were many pigs, dogs, and chickens flying in the sky.
People are born to eat.
This is no different from other animals.
The only difference is that when people eat, there are rules.
Suiren said, people don''t eat raw.
Fuxi said, people should not eat people.
Shen Nong said that people cannot eat poisonous substances.
This is the earliest rule.
But people like to break the rules, maybe because of stimulation, maybe because of bravado, maybe because of some other things, and then eat raw, eat people, eat poison. Such as raw meat, purple river carts, wild bats and so on.
Those who boast about the nutrition of sashimi, those who advocate the curative effect of Ziheche, and those who promote wild animals for strengthening yang and nourishing yin are all one thing, benefit. Then under the strong wind of profit, there are pigs, dogs, and chickens that are blown up.
chicken. The next egg that is less than the size of a palm, you have to grumble for a long time, eat some food dug out of the sand, and make a mess of chicken feathers, and when you encounter something as big as a fart, you will fly around and publish There was a giggle and chirp.
dog. Counseling dogs are also like chickens and dogs, they can bark for a long time when there is any disturbance, but when they are actually on the battlefield, they are often not as good as those dogs that don''t bark. Bite dogs generally don''t bark, barking are dogs that can only act wildly in their own cages.
Pigs are also divided into wild boars and captive ones. Killing a captive animal is neither simple nor complicated, at most it only takes a little effort, but it is not so simple to kill a muddy armor, with fangs, and a litter of young wild boars. Maybe it will hurt the hunter.
So if now, if Fei Qian is just looking for the sound, he will often only find some messy chickens and a few dogs that have been pushed out to attract attention. One or two pigs that are fat and stinky in captivity, as for the dogs that don''t bark, they are hiding in the grass and wild boars with tusks, most of them are hiding in the muddy water.
So this time, should we kill the chicken first, or the dog, or the pig?
『My lord…』
Pang Tong came from the front yard, bowed his hands to salute Fei Qian, raised his eyes and saw that there seemed to be a faint murderous look in Fei Qian''s eyes, some pores stood up involuntarily, and his footsteps slowed down for a while.
『Shi Yuan has worked hard,』 Fei Qian took a breath, smiled, and signaled Pang Tong to sit down, 『How is the situation with Zuo Fengyi? 』
Pang Tong looked around, as if he suspected that something was wrong with his feelings, then took out a watch badge from his sleeve, handed it to the guard, and asked the guard to send it to Fei Qian, then sat down beside him, and said: "It''s almost settled. A total of 3,208 households were affected by the disaster, and among the crops lost, 7,420 mu of wheat, 6,230 mu of millet, and 8,000 mu of millet, millet, bean, and hemp More than five hundred acres...』
"Uh-huh? Fei Qian looked at it, and suddenly frowned and said, "In the land of bean and hemp, katydid locusts eat it?" 』In Fei Qian''s impression, it seems that locusts do not eat plants such as beans and flax. Could it be that his own experience is wrong?
Pang Tong nodded and replied: "Of course... If you talk about the land of wheat and millet, the loss is about eighteen or nine, the amount of Shu is about fifteen or six, and the amount of hemp is about twelve or three..."
Feiqian understood that the so-called not eating is just that he doesn''t like to eat it, just like most people would not eat rice bran if there is better food, but they are very hungry, let alone rice bran, grass roots and tree bark Gnawing, is a truth. Flax is all fiber, and locusts may feel that it is rice bran and soil, which is hard and dry. Therefore, when there are other foods, they will not choose flax to eat.
Fei Qian’s guess is actually the same, but in fact locusts have no sense of taste, so the specific taste is not important. The reason why these guys choose food is very simple, that is, the fresher and juicier the plants, the more popular they are with locusts. After all, locusts do not have a special taste. The habit of drinking water, all sources of water are plants.
『Acres of the affected fields will be exempted from taxes, taxes, levies, and servitude this autumn... 』 Fei Qian straightened his back, and said slowly, 『But...just write down to Zuo Fengyi...』
Pang Tong focused his eyes, "My lord''s intention..."
『In addition, the early disaster relief money and food were also sent directly to Zuo Fengyi, and the local big households provided porridge relief on his behalf...』 Fei Qian showed some smiles, but this smile was a little cold.
Pang Tong understood, and then tentatively said: "Can I ask Zhi Yinjian to continue to make calculations among Zuo Fengyi?" 』
Fei Qian nodded and said, "This is natural. 』
A female official is also an official. How can it be that when enjoying the salary, it jumps up and down to express that it wants equal pay for equal work and additional women''s benefits, and then when it is time to do some work, it crosses its hips and stretches its fingers, yelling that all men are dead, how can it be possible? Let women do the work?
Since the name of Zhiyinjian is there, if "Zhiyin" cannot be used, is it necessary for these people to continue to hold positions? A vase, everyone will think it is just a decoration, maybe expensive, maybe cheap, but the same, no one will respect a vase.
Fei Qian has some preferential treatment for women, but it does not mean that all these people must be kept, regardless of whether they are good or bad. When fighting against locusts this time, those who shrank back can also express that women are born with a kind of fear of insects, but now they have basically repelled the locusts.
In addition, in feudal dynasties, man-made disasters were even worse after the outbreak of natural disasters, so this time Fei Qian simply "observed people with insects" to see if there were any claws and hooves exposed by pigs, dogs, and chickens.
As for those guys who spread rumors about the female officer this time, don''t worry. After the water surface sinks, you will know that those guys are exposed guys. Now, frizzy and frivolous, they went into the water to catch them, which made the water more muddy and covered up the whereabouts of some guys.
Furthermore, Fei Qian felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Rumors, where is the source, and what is the channel? And by what means is it spreading? How did it hide the probes that Fei Qian had inserted in Sansuke''s place?
Where did this wind come from? Where is it blowing again?
