Chapter 1984 The Blind Man Touching the Elephant, The Secret of Hussars


    A real meeting is often not as exciting as a drama.


    Even a little cold.


    Like now.


    In history, brother Zhu attacked and Xiao Lu suffered, but now, Zhuge is a passerby on the street, while Lu Su lives in the court, with an official seal hanging around his waist.


    Lu Su noticed Zhuge Liang, but he didn''t know Zhuge Liang. On the contrary, because Chen Qun was too focused on his own sudden thoughts before, he didn''t disperse his energy when he hurried away. Naturally, he didn''t see Zhuge Liang standing across the street.


    Zhuge Liang knew Lu Su and Chen Qun, but Lu Su and Chen Qun didn''t know Zhuge Liang. It''s like the little people often remember the faces of the big people, but the big people may not remember all the faces of the little people. In fact, it''s not a memory problem, but most people''s eyes are on the top, and looking up is instinctive.


    Zhuge Liang is naturally considered a big man in history, but he is just a young man now, even if he is a very handsome young man in crescent white, Lu Su just took a look or two, and then nodded slightly. As for the conversation?


    Hehe, this does not conform to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty. In later generations, many borrow money when they just met, or even before they met, but the etiquette of the Han Dynasty had a word called "communication with shallow words and deep words", and it was considered extremely rude behavior.


    So Lu Su just felt that the young man had a good face, and after signaling, he turned and went to the restaurant.


    Zhuge Liang glanced quietly outside the restaurant, then looked in the direction where Chen Qun was leaving, and finally turned and left...


    Zhuge Liang actually went to the market to find the answer.


    In Chang''an these days, Zhuge Liang watched a lot, especially after Pang Tong said he was "wrong".


    『How could I be wrong? 』


    Zhuge Liang muttered in a very low voice, not convinced.


    So Zhuge Liang has been looking for arguments that can prove him right and refute Pang Tong.


    The more he searched, the more unconvinced Zhuge Liang became, because what he found, it seemed, seemed, should, probably, did not prove that he was right...


    Because of the prosperity of commerce, the streets of Shifang have actually been changed by Fei Qianmo. Generally speaking, there was a large block in the middle of the streets in the Han Dynasty. Ordinary people could not walk, but could only walk on both sides. If the people dared to walk in the middle, it would be a crime of usurpation. But in the market, because of the prosperity of commerce, if such a large piece of road is left in the middle of the road, it will hinder the traffic very much, so Feiqian simply left a very small road in the middle of the road, just like the future generations The median strip in the middle of the road is the same, but there are no flower beds.


    In this way, the roads on both sides are relatively loose, which neither violates the regulations of the Han Dynasty nor affects traffic.


    Zhuge Liang looked at the small "isolation belt", and then turned his head to look at the flow of business people passing by, watching the large and small packages of goods being **** on vehicles or horses, and listening to the bargaining that sounded from time to time. The voice, could not help but sigh...


    『Let’s go back...』 Zhuge Liang, who had watched for a long time in the market, turned his head and said to the guards beside him.


    The guard took the order, and immediately cleared the way ahead, bumping away a businessman who was too absorbed in the bargaining and didn''t notice the movement around him, and blocked the road, almost knocking him to the ground.


    Maybe it was because he received some ambiguity at the Fangmen before, or maybe the businessman was really in the way. Anyway, the guard didn''t give a warning in accordance with common sense, and his actions were correspondingly louder.


    The businessman staggered and stabilized his figure, turned around with an angry expression on his face, and then turned into a flattering expression, nodding and bowing to express his apology...


    A patrol inspector happened to lead some people through the road, and the narrow road didn''t seem to affect the new arrivals of the patrol inspector and others. These inspections didn''t stop the guards who scolded Zhuge Liang for their big actions, they just glanced at them and walked over.


    『Interesting... let''s go...』Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, walked slowly, and left Shifang.


    Zhuge Liang went to see Guo Jia, went to Qinglong Temple, went to Guangwu Temple, and visited Shifang several times. He found that his original ones may not be right, but Pang Tong’s ones are also wrong...


    The things Pang Tong said were all based on the Hussar General, and they were all attached to the system changes made by Feiqian at the moment, just like the changes in the inspection at the Fangmen, which made Zhuge Liang and others wait. First out makes the traffic smooth, but what if there is another inspection, or no inspection?


    On the street, didn''t the patrolman not see his guard pushing the merchant?


    Such a system is unstable, and Pang Tong''s rhetoric cannot be fully established!


    『Go to Pang Lingjun’s mansion...』 Halfway there, Zhuge changed his mind, and he wanted to have a good talk with Pang Tong.


    As a result, Pang Tong was not at home.


    Zhuge Liang was a little puzzled, didn''t he take a bath every five days, and the calculation time just happened to be today?


    Pang Tong''s porter saw Zhuge Liang, clasped his hands and asked, "May I ask Mr. Zhuge Liang face to face?" 』


    Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said, "That''s it." 』


    The porter Pang Tong bowed and said: "The head of the family has something to say, if Mr. Zhuge Lang comes, I will offer this thing..." Then he took out a kit.


    Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows.


    The kit is very hard to hold, not like a note, scarf or something.


    I opened it and saw that there was a wooden sign inside, with a tiger head on the front, the words Dahan Hussar House in the square tiger mouth, and a serial number on the back.


    This is the temporary pass number plate of the Hussar Mansion. It is a one-time item and needs to be handed in when it is used.


    Zhuge Liang understood.


    Seeing that Zhuge Liang was in a daze holding the pass number plate, the guard asked from the side: "Your Majesty, are you going to Huqi Mansion?" 』


    "Well..." Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, go back to the residence first..." He hasn''t fully figured it out yet, and it doesn''t matter to argue with Pang Tong. If he goes in front of Huqi, he is not ready yet Okay, I still need to sort out some ideas...


    It is not just Zhuge Liang who needs to sort out his thoughts.


    Chen Qun, who had not long left Shifang, was also sorting out his thoughts.


    Being able to think, and being able to think, Chen Qun has always believed that this ability is the most basic standard for a gentry, or in other words, a gentry who can think is a qualified gentry.


    As for those guys who are nominally the children of the gentry but who can''t think at all, Chen Qun thinks that those guys are just fish and meat, waiting to be knifed sometime. Therefore, the sons of the gentry should be superior, just like the most important thing in a person is the head. If the head is cut off, you can''t think, can you still be considered a person?


    But what did Chen Qun see today?


    In the market place, the sons of the gentry actually gave way to the caravan?


    No, it was the inspection under the hussars who asked the gentry to wait and let the caravan pass first. The key is that such behavior did not cause any strange reactions, which means that in Chang''an, or in the hussars On the site, this is not the first time something like this has happened, so naturally there is nothing unusual about it...


    Isn''t this strange?


    In the Han Dynasty, when did the gentry give way to the merchants?


    It''s as if the head gave way to the toes and let the toes grow on the neck. Isn''t this strange and weird?


    On the one hand, this matter made Chen Qun feel very incomprehensible, on the other hand, he faintly felt that this might be the key to Fei Qian''s business success...


    How is this possible?


    Chen Qun swallowed a mouthful of saliva.


    Let siblings think, or let the people below think? Such a dangerous thing, didn''t the Hussars think about the consequences?


    Although Chen Qun didn’t know a famous saying of Mr. Lu, the so-called God laughs when human beings think, but it didn’t prevent Chen Qun from feeling a little cold when he was thinking. Try as much as possible, or strictly forbid the people below to think, isn''t this the tacit understanding of the superiors?


    Because no matter what the thinking is, the problem of the people at the bottom is easy to eventually become a question, "Why me? 』


    I am the one who pays the taxes, I am the one who does the labor, I am the one who is oppressed, I am the one who is insulted, I am the one who is trafficked, deceived, fooled, etc.


    Seeing this, the high-ranking person hurriedly yelled, don’t think about it, just do it! Go execute! Execution is the key! It''s useless to think so much! Anyone who has not worked in a grassroots position for more than ten or twenty years and delivers any proposals will be fired!


    Then he changed his tone again, this is fate, this is blessing, er, karma, this is the loan you owe, um, wrong, it is sin karma, you always have to pay it back, right? You are blessed after all, what are you thinking about so much? Just do it well, eat some, drink some, and be happy. In the future, the pension will be paid back. What do you think about so much? Live in the moment and live happily, isn''t that all right?


    This opening cannot be opened...


    Chen Qun was a little flustered.


    Because it’s like masturbation, there is only the first time and countless times. When the first problem emerges, the second and third problems will gradually surface with time, sooner or later.


    『Why not you? 』


    『How can I be you? 』


    For these two questions, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted, "Will the princes and generals be kind?"! And Liu Bang laughed and replied, "A man should be like this"!


    『How dare the hussars do this? "This question hovered in Chen Qun''s mind, and then it turned into another question in an instant, "What does the Hussar want to do?" 』


    『Wen Yiming Dao! 』


    These words suddenly popped up in Chen Qun''s mind, then he stood up and picked at the things beside him, found out the jade seal, then looked at the four words at the bottom of the jade seal, and repeated in a murmur: , "So that''s the case, ha! That''s it, hum! That''s what it means..."


    Chen Qun suddenly felt that he couldn''t stay any longer, and he had to leave immediately.


    General Hussar is a madman!


    What''s even more frightening is that there is a group of people going crazy with the lunatics!


    『What kind of "clear way", you can''t have this kind of "clear way"! 』Chen Qun shivered subconsciously, and wanted to throw away the jade seal, but after thinking about it, he still put the jade seal in the box, and then pressed the lid of the box hard, wishing to stick another one Sealed by the coaxed mantra, um, I made a mistake, it should be "Om Mani Padme Hum"...


    Of course, if Chen Qun was a Buddhist, he would definitely do this, but unfortunately he is not, so he can only stuff the box at the bottom of the luggage, trying to minimize the danger in this way.


    On the other side, Lu Su didn''t think there was anything terrible about Fei Qian, and he was even considering the possibility of Jiang Dong copying what Fei Qian did here, because Lu Su and Chen Qun thought differently.


    What Lu Su saw was Hu merchants, and Lu Su thought that what Chen Qun saw was the same. Otherwise, why would he suddenly have a dazed look when the group of merchants entered and exited the workshop?


    Speaking of which, Jiang Dong really didn''t pay much attention to the matter of Hu Shang...


    It''s like Lu Su originally thought that the Hu people could have something?


    How much is a pile of broken leather and rotten hair worth?


    Cattle and sheep?


    Just like the Zhuanghe of the Han people, it is the lifeblood of the Hu people. If you want their cattle and sheep, you have to fight with the Hu people, and the cattle and sheep will only be eaten for a while. If there is land, Zhuanghe can eat for a year Another year?


    So what is the value of barbarians and barbarians?


    Well, I can’t say that it’s worthless. After all, Lu Su also knows that Sun Quan has a lot of fields, which are cultivated by these South Vietnamese barbarians...


    But now that Lu Su sees it, in fact, doing business with Human seems to have a lot of benefits...


    But why didn''t these benefits exist before? Or is it not as good as Huqi here? Lu Su thought about the caravan in the market, and he also had some insights in his heart.


    Business and trade must be cultivated...


    In the Jiangdong area, even if there is a business transaction with the South Vietnamese barbarians, it is very short-lived, or even the kind that may turn against each other at any time, so the transaction between the two parties must be the exchange of the most urgent needs, and the exchange of things recognized by the other party, so often As for the value, there are very large fluctuations, and it is mainly concentrated on the few commodities that are available. It is not like Feiqian here, where everything is traded from life to production, from needlework to pottery bowls.


    This is the key!


    Lu Su sighed, "As expected of a hussar! 』


    Jiangdong fought against the South Vietnamese barbarians, what did they gain? Although some labor was captured, the hatred that was difficult to resolve was left behind. From time to time, the South Vietnamese barbarians would take advantage of Jiangdong soldiers'' unpreparedness to raid checkpoints, plunder caravans, and even try to occupy cities and Wubao, etc. Everywhere is a common occurrence.


    When Lu Su was processing the writing, he often received reports from his subordinates, such as when and where the barbarians raided, or what kind of stronghold he conquered, how many heads he captured, etc...


    So the Jiangdong area under Sun Quan’s rule bordered the barbarians of South Vietnam, but it didn’t get much benefit. It can even be said that it was a lot of trouble, and a lot of manpower, material and financial resources were consumed every year to deal with these things.


    However, the hussars are here...


    『Wonderful! ’ Lu Su couldn’t help clapping his hands in admiration, ‘This is the best strategy for soldiers...’


    Although Lu Su didn''t fully understand the meaning of the word "market", Lu Su realized that this was the most important thing. When the hussars beat the Humans and took down a tribe of Humans, it was tantamount to opening up a market, while Jiangdong attacked Nanyue and took down a cottage. In addition to harvesting a bunch of heads, they also had to pay a lot of rewards for the soldiers. Mostly hate...


    What if you learn the same way as General Hussars here, and change your way of thinking?


    Lu Su muttered and gestured.


    The items of the Han people are undoubtedly more exquisite and easy to use than any other barbarians around them, so all the things of the Han people are inherently superior, and they can beat the utensils originally used by the barbarians to nothing.


    As long as the price is right, Hu Man naturally hopes to use Han utensils, and then?


    The people who used to make these utensils in the Human gradually disappeared. After all, their things are neither beautiful nor useful, so they either learn how to make them like the Han people, or they have no way out. And after these Human who could make something are gradually either assimilated or die out, then Human can no longer live without the utensils of the Han people...


    Lu Su suddenly shivered, as if he was cold or excited. "This... this, this... is really too fast..."


    Lu Su remembered the jade he got a few days ago, one was a jade block and the other was a jade seal.


    Jade is not of much value in the Western Regions, or the value is not as great as that of the Han Dynasty, but the hussars took it into their hands and turned it into a jade seal. Is this value...


    It turns out that the "respect to know the micro" is not the point!


    The focus is on jade, raw materials, products, and the price difference!


    In an instant, many things burst into Lu Su''s mind. What is there in Nanyue, such as wood, copper ore, iron ore, maybe silver and gold? It may not be found in ten years, but the people of South Vietnam have lived in it for generations. Many of them guard the minerals, but they have no ability to turn them into valuable things!


    Hahaha, that''s it!


    Lu Su couldn''t help dancing.


    Got it, got it!


    This is the secret of General Hussars!


    Uh…


    Lu Su thought of another thing, and immediately became a little depressed.


    I''m afraid, Sun Er is not necessarily willing to do this...


    It''s very simple, because compared to craftsmen who can make all kinds of utensils, it is natural that the major families in Jiangdong are the main force. How many are there under Sun Quan? If this method is followed, how much benefit can Sun Quan himself reap? It is obvious that the big head will be taken away by the Jiangdong family. How can Sun Quan agree to follow this method?


    『Respect to Zhiwei...Respect to Zhiwei...』Lu Su remembered the words on the jade seal, repeated it twice, and sighed. Where is this jade seal for me? This is not talking about Jingzhou, it is obviously talking about Sun Er''s fool...


    But the problem is, according to Sun Er''s idiot''s temper, it is impossible for Lu Su to fully express the meaning he inferred to Sun Quan. , take care of all aspects, and then express the meaning.


    Now, what should I say?


    Lu Su covered his head.


    Hey, I, it''s so difficult...
