Chapter 1982 Longyou antecedent, Jia Xu far-sighted


    As the chief steward of Longyou, Jia Xu has a better understanding of this area than the general gentry of the Han Dynasty.


    Wuwei, now in Longyou, is also Jia Xu''s hometown. It has become an important node in Longyou and a concentrated area of ??Longyou gentry.


    Longyou, in fact, is the old Qin land.


    During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty was confiscated in the land of the Western Qiang, and the area opened up was actually this area. At the same time, it is very interesting that Longyou is not exactly the land of barbarians as the Han gentry recognized it. The land is an area that lacks a cultural atmosphere. On the contrary, in the pre-Qin period, the ancestors of Longyou had already created a rich ancient culture here. For example, some ancient myths have a certain connection with Longyou. At the same time, some chapters in the representative pre-Qin poetry "Book of Songs" are related to Longdong, and some poems were produced in Longxi.


    However, today, Jia Xu is not in Wuwei, but in Linjing, Anding.


    An Ding Linjing, there is a person.


    However, this celebrity, because he was somewhat "rebellious", was always rejected by the gentry of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even his writings were rarely mentioned, let alone widely disseminated.


    Jia Xu sat in the car, staggering, frowning slightly.


    Although Hussar General Fei Qian has already attached great importance to Longyou, and the main official roads are generally cleared, but there is still no way to take care of the relatively remote areas like Linjing, so the road bumps are also there. Inevitably.


    Jia Xu also seemed to be coming here by horse, but the canopy car is a matter of face, just like many people don’t wear long johns in winter, not necessarily because they are not afraid of the cold, but for other reasons.


    Is it bumpy? Naturally, the walk is slow, and Longxi itself produces horses, so the news has already reached Linjing before the Jiaxu people have arrived in Linjing.


    The Wang family of Linjing is not big. Compared with other families in the Eastern Han Dynasty with tens of thousands of people, it is not very big in terms of fame or official position, but it is not too small. After all, it is said that it is a branch from Wang Jian''s time, and the inheritance continues to this day.


    Now among the Linjing Wang clan, Wang Han is in charge of the family. Hearing the news that Jia Xu is going to Linjing, naturally, a small family meeting was held immediately...


    『Jia Shijun came here, I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse...』Someone in the seat sighed.


    Hearing the word "disaster", Wang Han''s brows and eyes twitched immediately, and he glanced across in displeasure. "Although Mr. Jia didn''t say the purpose, there must be a reason for this. Otherwise, why bother to drive around?" 』If it is really a disaster, then it is not Jia Shijun who came, but soldiers and horses. Since Jia Xu came here in person, there must be a reason for coming in person. Finding out this reason is the topic of today''s meeting!


    『Come here for money and food? 』


    『The spring plowing has just begun, how can we get money and food? 』


    『I heard that the Western Regions are using troops, so they need money and food...』


    『Although this is the case, there is no order to recruit people around Longyou, so why did Mr. Jia come here? Is it possible to directly transfer the money and food in Linjing? Even so, what is the point of leaning towards Jingcang? 』


    『In that case, it makes sense...』


    『So... why? 』


    Suddenly someone said: "Could it be that... you came here as a sneaker?" 』


    Wang Han took a breath and suddenly felt a toothache. "If that''s what you''re here for, hey..."


    『Wang Jiexin is really harmful, and the poison is still here! Suddenly someone said angrily.


    『Speak carefully! Be careful! ” Wang Han squeezed his beard, “You are thinking too much! Why? 』


    『It’s not because of this, why did Mr. Jia come here? There was a word in the morning, keeping it is a disaster...』


    Wang Han frowned and said, "It''s done! Don''t talk about the ancestors, this is a gift! 』


    『Ha, but there are no descendants of outsiders, how can they be called ancestors? 』


    『Bastard! "Wang Han waved his hand and said, "If you say this again, you will be punished according to the family law!" This time Mr. Jia''s visit, I personally abide by my words and deeds. If Wang''s reputation is ruined, he will definitely be punished severely! 』


    Wang Han also realized that these people obviously had nothing to say, and finally lost his patience, and directly issued an order to make people prepare to welcome Jia Xu.


    Current events are often like this. The more you don''t want to encounter it, the more it will happen.


    Jia Xu came to Anding Linjing for Wang Fu''s suicide note "On the Qianfu". It is said that after Wang Fu lived in seclusion, he still continued to write "On the Latent Fu", but this part of the book has not been displayed to the public...


    There are many reasons. The most important one is that the book "On the Latent Fu" written by Wang Fu at that time did not conform to the cognitive label of the upper class, and it also violated the concepts upheld by most of the Shandong gentry. Therefore, Wang Fu He was naturally pushed to the edge. Although he was praised as "seeing two thousand stones, it is better to tuck in one crack", he still died of poverty and loneliness.


    At the same time, because of the Wang Fu, the court controlled by the Shandong gentry took a tacitly repulsive attitude towards all the Linjing Wang families, for fear that the second Wang Fu would appear. Under such circumstances, An Ding The people of the Wang clan in Linjing are naturally full of contradictions in their cognition of Wang Fu...


    On the one hand, it is a bit of an honor to have such an ancestor, but on the other hand, because of this ancestor, the Wang family of Anding Linjing has never been able to be an official, and he can''t be an official. Watching others eat hot and drink hot food, is this in your heart? It was somewhat uncomfortable, and resentment naturally arose.


    After all, no matter how great the reputation of the ancestors is, it cannot be converted into actual benefits, and even has some obstacles to their own development. This is naturally a bit of a joke, and it is very important that Wang Fu itself is a concubine, and his mother is just a side door. The daughter of Xiaohu, so after Wang Fu, there is no branch left at all. Whether it is Wang Fu itself or her matriarchal surname, she has no descendants, so she naturally has no scruples when she speaks.


    Two days later, Jia Xu arrived in Anding Linjing.


    On the west side of Anding Linjing, there is a hill protruding among the rolling hills. Although it is not very steep, there is a small pavilion built on the top of the hill. The surrounding trees are shady and flowers are blooming, which is somewhat The scenery, so the place to welcome Jia Xu is naturally set up here.


    Jia Xu met Zhao, the county magistrate of Anding. After exchanging pleasantries, the group left their carriages and horses, talked and laughed, and walked slowly to the post. The magistrate of Zhao County was from Hanyang County, the son of Zhao Yi, and his name was Zhao Ji.


    Wang Han followed beside him, and as a member of the elders in Linjing Township, he also followed behind. Jia Xu was chatting and laughing with the magistrate of Anding County and other officials, and they seemed to be very interested in the conversation. Wang Han peeked on the sidelines, but seeing Jia Xu''s appearance of a worldly expert in a wide robe and big sleeves, the surrounding guards did not seem to be murderous. The situation is determined in the heart.


    Jia Xu and the others were indeed very interested in talking, and they kept talking non-stop. But as he talked, without knowing why, Jia Xu''s expression suddenly changed, he put down his wine glass, and sighed softly.


    County magistrate Zhao also immediately followed up with a sensible sentence, "I don''t know why the envoy sighs?" 』


    Jia Xu sighed, "When I was a young man, I also climbed this hill and entered this pavilion, looking at the red leaves on the hills, which are soaked in stretches. Suddenly, after twenty years, I come here again, and I can see the old scenery, but I am thinking that my old friend is gone." , the past is different, I can’t help but sigh...』


    After Jia Xu finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. How should I answer what I said? Does it mean that Jia Shijun should not think too much, or is it better to have newcomers over the old ones? But the leaders have already said so, so how much do you have to express it...


    County magistrate Zhao said: "Current affairs are chaotic, and manpower can''t do it..." Everyone responded one after another, full of emotion, and each looked sad.


    Jia Xu looks like "reminiscing about the past", but actually sees everyone''s reactions in his eyes, "However, in the past twenty years, internal and external disputes, yellow scarf thieves are in chaos, soldiers are in flames, the world has changed color, and the society is in turmoil—I am equal to you." You can still see the mountain scenery here, but I don''t know if your Majesty is in Xu County, there is a scenery to be seen..." As he spoke, Jia Xu covered his face with his sleeve, as if weeping.


    When County Magistrate Zhao saw it, he immediately raised his sleeve to wipe his eyes. Everyone also made a sad look, covering their faces, covering their eyes, as for whether there were real tears or not, that was different from person to person.


    This remark is more difficult to answer than the previous ones.


    "When I was young, I asked a question. There were talented people in Linjing. They didn''t agree with the world. They criticized the gains and losses of current politics, called the power and cronies as treacherous, advocated righteous learning, cared for the people, valued the frontier, enlightened people, and made people think deeply..." Jia Xu turned his eyes around, "And I don''t know, is there any descendant in today''s world..."


    County magistrate Zhao looked stunned, then turned his head to Wang Han with a "comfortable face" and said, "What a coincidence! And there are descendants of Wang Jiexin here..."


    The people of Linjing Wang''s family, to be honest, apart from Wang Fu, there is indeed no one worthy of praise. Usually, they just know that they are in the wild in their hometown. If they really want to leave Linjing, their courage will shrink three times. point. When Wang Han saw Jia Xu''s questioning and Zhao County Magistrate''s words, he hurried forward and bowed deeply in salute.


    Jia Xu also showed surprise and expressed his condolences. Naturally, he also mentioned the mountain forest where Wang Fu lived in seclusion in the past, and said that he would go to pay respects to Yunyun tomorrow.


    For a while, the guests and hosts were happy again, and the harmony was very harmonious. Then Jia Xu and the county magistrate Zhao went down the mountain pavilion and continued to rest in the city without mentioning it. Wang Han was uneasy, and on the one hand, he had to deal with the constant presence of people who were either true or false. It''s a lie to go forward to congratulate, but on the other hand, he doesn''t know what will happen next, and he returns with a small drum beating in his heart all the way.


    Not to mention Zhao Ji, Wang Han and others muttering in their hearts, Jia Xu brought Meng Shu to the post house, well, it’s not actually a post house, in a small place like Linjing, what kind of serious post house is there? , is also a courtyard of the Wang family, which was cleaned out specially for Jia Xu.


    Meng Shu originally followed Li Ru, but now Li Ru is at Lu Bu''s place, and Meng Hong is at Lu Bu''s place, so there is no need for Meng Shu to follow him all the time, and Longyou also needs a general from the Meng family to balance the military power, so After the Battle of Haitou, Meng Shu returned to Longyou to assist Jia Xu.


    Meng Shu took the guards to check around, and then returned to the main hall to report.


    When Jia Xu saw it, he held a teacup, then tilted his head slightly to signal, "Sit down. 』


    『Thank you, Ambassador. 』Meng Shu hesitated for a moment, but still thanked him, and then sat down.


    『But you feel a little confused? Jia Xu glanced sideways at Meng Shu and said.


    Meng Shu nodded and said, "Indeed. Although someone is not talented, but looking at the land of Linjing, although the hometown is good, but the birth is not prosperous. If you talk about people, everyone, they are all mediocre... The so-called Wang family is even more rough. Husband''s theory, it seems a bit...」


    Jia Xu laughed, also nodded, and then said softly: "I came here a while ago, neither for money, nor for talent, but... for the lord..."


    『For the Lord? 』Meng Shu was taken aback.


    Jia Xu nodded and said: "My lord made a big speech at Qinglong Temple, refuted evil scriptures, and condemned false texts. This is an eternal achievement!" It''s just that... what is broken should be established... and the great Confucians of the dynasty have studied modern literature for a long time. Although Sima and Zheng are famous, the books they write are very different from the meaning of the lord, which is unbearable use…"


    Meng Shu thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Could it be... "On the Latent Fu"? 』


    Jia Xu nodded, "This is one of them..."


    Meng Shu swallowed his saliva.


    But Jia Xu glanced at Meng Shu again, smiled, and said, "Secondly, it is to help the lord to understand the style of scholars in Longyou..."


    "Many scholars in Longyou practice military affairs, and they have the style of martyrs and military officials. In the time of filial piety, there were flying generals in Longxi Chengji, and his son Ganye, and the Sun family fought against the Huns. , out of the Zhao family, to pacify the Qiang chaos, all good generals. Everyone in the world says, "Generals from Kansai" is also...until...』


    Jia Xu sighed slightly.


    Mengshu thought that it was Dong Zhuo who Jia Xu was sighing, and felt that Dong Zhuo had ruined Longyou''s reputation as a "soldier general", so he somewhat sighed in his heart, and he also sighed along with him, but he didn''t know that Jia Xu''s heart was completely different from what he thought .


    What Jia Xu sighed was Guangwu.


    Jia Xu never felt that Dong Zhuo was wrong at all. Even if Dong Zhuo was wrong, it was caused by the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.


    Because from the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was not much room for the hero class in Longyou. After Emperor Guangwu, it got worse and worse...


    Even though there were so many Longyou soldiers who would throw their heads and blood for the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has always been fortified against the people in Longyou. The so-called "Li Guang is hard to seal" is not entirely because Li Guang is an unlucky guy. It was because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was unwilling to make a man from Longyou a Marquis!


    So in the hands of Li Guang, they will always be second-class, even inferior. If you want to make a comeback in such an environment and fan the big face of Emperor Wu of Han, I am afraid that only through the crowd can it be possible.


    A very important reason why the Han Dynasty was unfriendly to Longyou was the formation of local forces in Longyou, with Longyou as the base, Longyou Hu and Qiang as the foundation, a class system that focused on animal husbandry, and agriculture and mulberry as the economy The political system of the basic Han Dynasty was very different.


    The development and construction of Longyou in the Western Han Dynasty was carried out in sequence. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Longxi was inherited from the Qin Dynasty. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used troops against the Huns, he opened up the four counties of Hexi, Tianshui, and Anding. . Except for a small number of original Han people in Longxi County in the eight counties of Longyou, the Han people in the remaining seven counties basically migrated from the inland through the methods of garrisoning fields, filling prisoners, and stationing troops during the Han Dynasty.


    And these people formed an extremely complex social ecology under the joint marriage with the local Qianghu and others, and this social ecology, folk customs, and folk customs were single-handedly promoted by the Han Dynasty.


    Perhaps the original idea of ??the Han Dynasty was to raise a good dog named Longyou, who could cooperate with Wuhuan in Liaodong to attack the Xiongnu. It did do this at the beginning, but as time went by, as the owner The emperor of the Han Dynasty suddenly felt that the dog Longyou was so vicious, he was so scared...


    Longyou in its heyday had "the benefits of the Qiang in the west and the livestock of the Rong and Zhai in the north", and "animal husbandry is the wealth of the world". The Qiang and Hu soldiers were even more powerful troops in the Han Dynasty. The so-called "those who are strong and brave in the world and feared by the people include the people of Bing and Liang, as well as the Xiongnu, Tuge, Huzhong Yicong, and Xiqiang"...


    Especially during the period of Guangwu, because the power of Po Xiao who ruled in Longyou was very strong, it became a major obstacle to the unification of the Eastern Han Dynasty and caused great trouble for Liu Xiu''s unification of the country, so Liu Xiu calmed down the power of Kai Xiao Immediately after that, the possible alliance between the Longyou forces and the Qianghu forces was cut off, and it became the primary task of the subsequent Eastern Han dynasty facing Longxi.


    Lu Fang''s forces were wiped out with excuses, the Kui Xiao faction and Xianling Qiang were separated and moved to different places, and even the Hexi Dou Rong forces, which had made great contributions to Liu Xiu''s unification of Longyou, could not escape the fate of being dismembered. Dou Rong was expelled from Hexi and served as the shepherd of Jizhou, Liang Tong and Ban Biao were conscripted into the imperial court, and Ma Yuan was sent to conquer the east and west, and finally died on the road to the south...


    After the Yongchu Rebellion, Yu Xu made suggestions, not only reminding the ruling class not to forget the danger of the local forces in Longyou, but also suggesting that the Taiwei Zhang Yu should "recruit Liangtu heroes, attract their shepherds and guard their children to the court, and order each government to set up their own numbers." People, externally use persuasion to answer their meritorious deeds, and internally use restraint to guard against their evil schemes...』


    The two-pronged strategy of raising pigs and taking hostages was also adopted and implemented by the rulers at that time.


    But even so, can the Xiqiang riots be avoided?


    On the contrary, it made Longyou, who was supposed to be the right arm of the Han Dynasty, at a loss during the Qiang chaos. He didn''t know whether to mediate in the middle or organize defense and resistance, because no matter what he did, he might end up with a big hat. At most, the charge on the hat was slightly different.


    So it is not surprising that there will be a half-century-long Xiqiang Rebellion in the Hengling Period...


    Eventually Dong Zhuo appeared.


    At the level of a counselor like Jia Xu, what he observes is not the effect, but the cause of the effect. In the Han Dynasty, Jia Xu felt that there was only one general, Hussar General Fei Qian, who made him feel It has a broad heart and warm arms, which can accommodate and control Longyou, a hound with some personality.


    "Thirdly, my lord is now opening up the Western Regions...Hexi is like an arm, and the middle position in Longyou is like a human''s shoulder blade. It should be flexible in order to gain the benefits of the Western Region. As a subject, naturally, you should plan ahead. How can you just obey orders?" Okay, like a clay puppet? Jia Xu smiled, "So, do you know why someone came here?" 』


    Meng Shu was stunned, and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty is indeed far-sighted! 』


    Jia Xu chuckled twice. In fact, apart from the positive reasons mentioned above, and those reasons that Fei Qian considered, in fact, Jia Xu still had a bad taste in his heart, that is, if these people in Longxi really Having ascended to the court of the Great Han Dynasty and occupied a place, the faces of those Shandong gentry who have suppressed Longxi for a long time must be quite exciting...
