Chapter 2010 Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, governance opportunities
While Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were discussing, Hussar General Fei Qian was thinking about the school officer''s question.
Now under Fei Qian''s command, there are also many first-class generals, but there is an obvious problem, that is, under these first-class generals, there are fewer people in the second echelon or the third echelon at the next level.
It is still possible to let these generals of the first echelon charge forward, but in a few years, they cannot still let these generals charge on the front line, right? You must know that the greatest value of these generals is not to die on the battlefield, but to pass on their war experience over the years.
Strictly speaking, Liao Hua is considered to be a relatively good member of the second echelon, and Gan Feng, Zhang Xiu, etc. are also considered. Zhu Ling is a little older, let alone, but their problems are also obvious. It may take some time for the echelon to stand alone like that.
After thinking about it for a long time, Fei Qian really had a headache, mainly because he had no clue.
After all, in my impression, those guys who were more dazzling in the early days of the Three Kingdoms were those who were outstanding. What if there are still those outstanding generals left after the death of Guan Laoer?
Jiang Wei?
I''m afraid it hasn''t been born yet? I don’t know if Jiang Jiong should be transferred back first, otherwise, Jiang Wei can be reborn or not, and it might become Jiang Wei...
These problems can''t be said, only Fei Qian can only worry about it. Fei Qian thought about it for a long time, but he could only have a general idea, and he could only plan slowly for specific things.
It is said that a hero father will not give birth to a bear son, but it is obviously not the case in the Three Kingdoms. Even though their father was a military genius or a famous general with high martial arts skills, none of their sons seemed to inherit his father''s talent, and only a few of them still vaguely carried his father''s heroic appearance.
Feiqian was most impressed by Guan Yu’s descendants. Guan Ping and Guan Xing were both quite strong. According to official history, both of Guan Yu’s sons had joined the battlefield. Guan Ping died in battle with his father, and Guan Xing did not embarrass his father. He was quite heroic on the battlefield. Unfortunately, he died young and failed to leave more heroic deeds.
Is Zhang Fei’s son... Well, how should I put it, it seems to be worse than Guan Ping and Guan Xing...
Liu Bei Liu Da Er''s son, forget it...
Zhao Yun, the two sons in history did not have high official positions. However, Zhao Yun''s youngest son, Zhao Guang, was very brave. He died on the battlefield in order to protect Jiang Wei, so it can be said that he did not embarrass Zhao Yun.
Zhang Liao''s son seems to have limited talent, and finally reached the position of partial general. He is not well-known, and Fei Qian can''t even remember what his name is.
As for Xu Huang?
Tai Shici?
Who remembers the name of Xu Huang''s son? What about Tai Shici''s child? As for Wei Yan''s family, it was even more aggrieved, and they were taken away without any chance.
Fei Qian pinches the beard on his chin, is he going to prepare a training class for the second generation now, so as not to break the inheritance? As an excellent capitalist... er, as an excellent successor, it is natural not to only cut off the leeks of one generation, but to cut off the leeks from generation to generation every year.
This is a very interesting thing...
Fei Qian was thinking, when suddenly a gust of wind blew in, as if it was going to blow away even the tiles on the roof.
『Report! Pang Lingjun and Zhuge seek to see each other! 』The guard on duty outside reported.
Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, put down his pen, and then asked someone to come in, while putting away the scrolls that recorded these relatively hidden matters, and put them on the bookshelf beside him.
Not long after, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang arrived.
『Meet the lord...』
Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang saluted.
After a short greeting, we talked about business.
After listening to Pang Tong and Zhuge''s narrative, Fei Qian frowned slightly.
If you want to use coercive means, of course it is very convenient.
Pang Tong can do it without even needing Fei Qian to show up. It is even necessary to detain a few of the big households who don''t listen to greetings very much on weekdays to Chang''an, and hold a "mobilization meeting" the next day, and each family has to obediently do everything that needs to be done.
Each family has its own scriptures, and most of them are difficult to read. Even if someone is born rich second generation, the starting line is different from others, but the devil knows whether there will be a son who cheats his father, or a father who cheats his son. That''s just frustrating...
『Kong Ming’s strategy...』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『Although it is a good strategy, it is also feasible, but it is...』 Fei Qian glanced at Zhuge Liang, and did not say the next half.
Although he didn''t say it clearly, he also said that Fei Qian did not agree with Zhuge Liang''s strategy.
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, then looked at Fei Qian.
Pang Tong rolled his eyes, as if thinking of something.
In fact, Zhuge Liang was able to come up with a strategy of "weighing it with morality and luring it with profit". First, whether it is using Fei potential to persuade farming or interviewing, anyway, it is to set an example, confirm the status of Nongsang, set a tone, and then use it These large gentry families value various interests, so they use interests as a handle to increase the proportion of grain taxation and determine clear rewards and punishments. On the other hand, they increase the purchase price of grain, so as to encourage the enthusiasm of the gentry to cultivate crops. On the whole, it is also a very good method.
The standard of this keynote naturally needs to be set by Fei Qian, otherwise everyone else will not go well.
Fei Qian looked at Zhuge Liang. From this strategy, we can also see part of Zhuge Liang''s ruling thoughts. In history, Zhuge Liang seemed to have followed this model in Sichuan and Shu, but unfortunately, Zhuge Liang has not jumped higher and escaped from the original historical confinement.
It can be said that if Zhuge Liang''s suggestion is really followed, the effect will definitely be there, and it will even be good. But what, Fei Qian thought of more things.
This cannot be blamed on Zhuge Liang, after all, the Zhuge Liang in front of me is still a youthful version of a carrot head, tender and tender...
As for Pang Tong, Fei Qian glanced at Pang Tong. Although Pang Tong should have discovered this matter earlier, it is not too late now, so Fei Qian did not mean to blame Pang Tong.
Pang Tong has a lot of things to deal with every day, among other things, just the temporary deployment of supplies and civilians these days, and the protection of farmland in various places, involves a lot of things, and it is normal for him to not be able to think about it for a while. After all, Pang Tong needs to think twice before making every order, which in itself is extremely energy-consuming, and he can''t be like a trainee''s scumbag, who doesn''t have to be responsible for what he says and does.
Of course Zhuge Liang in history was able to do everything in detail and transparently, but when it was done at the cost of Zhuge Liang’s overdrawn life, it would put Zhuge Liang in the modern age, which is a disease! Zhuge Liang is a workaholic with a perverted desire for power, and finally got the fate of death from overwork.
Pang Tong is obviously not such a person, and Fei Qian does not want to see a Pang Tong who died of overwork, because it shows that everyone above and below is incompetent...
To be honest, when it comes to food reserves, no amount of food is enough. It would be great if there was more time, sometimes such thoughts would appear in Fei Qian''s mind. More time means more preparations, and even cotton can be grown for several seasons.
『Shi Yuan, Kong Ming... 』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『There are pros and cons to everything... There may be disadvantages here, but there are also benefits...』
『There are pros and cons to everything? 』Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang couldn''t help but looked at each other, faintly feeling that General Hussars was going to do something again.
Everything is like this, but some people can only see one aspect, while ignoring the other aspect, just like the strong Fiji stealth cavalry, this is an indisputable fact.
But expensive.
It is also an indisputable fact that Fei Qian has an elite force.
But expensive.
Simply counting the cavalry food, the big animals look cute, they can be rubbed and ridden, but the appetite is also very large, basically one horse is worth five people, plus the cavalry itself, one cavalry It is basically equivalent to the amount of rations for six ordinary soldiers...
Of course, this is when fighting, and the consumption will be much lower when not fighting.
If Fei Qian only had hundreds or thousands of cavalry under his command, then a large number probably wouldn''t matter, but now the number of cavalry in Fei Qian is close to 30,000, and the cavalry consumes a considerable amount of food and grass. The consumption of food and grass alone is almost equivalent to the number of hundreds of thousands of ordinary pawns. If Feiqian had not promoted the breeding of domestic pigs, it would have replaced and reduced the proportion of carbohydrates that ordinary pawns ingested, giving up more wheat bran beans It is wishful thinking to support so many war horses for high-intensity combat.
So now it is not a big problem for Fei Qian to support a small-scale regional operation, but if it is a large-scale mobilization operation in the entire range, it will be a bit stretched.
Boss Cao has seen more comprehensively, so he has some confidence to wrestle with Fei Qian. If Fei Qian is really strong enough to have no friends, then even if Boss Cao gritted his teeth and insisted on it, other gentry clans would not be willing to follow Cao. The boss went all the way to the dark, didn''t he?
So the question raised by Fei Qian is very interesting.
Even if Feiqian has various preferential treatment policies for the common people, and even provides free benefits, will the happiness index of the common people in Guanzhong be equal to that of later generations? Obviously impossible, after all, this is still in the feudal era, the era of privileged rule. The gentry still had relatively great authority in the countryside, but where did this authority come from?
It is the higher-level institutions that endow these local agencies with various law enforcement powers...
So, as the court, do you want to see the local government abuse the people and extort money? Obviously not. So, as the court, is it true that all dynasties and dynasties did not know that there was such behavior in the locality, and then they turned a blind eye from the beginning to the end? Obviously not.
So since there is a problem, why not change it?
Because it cannot be changed.
The root is the four words "small peasant economy".
Just like Feiqian at present, farming, mulberry, and crops are very important, but in addition to "taxes", there are also "mouths, classes, sex, tribute, needs, corvees, servitude" and so on. Regardless of whether each amount may be important It''s not very big, but there are many kinds, not just in autumn, but in all seasons.
Such as isinglass. Before there is no chemical glue, this is something that needs to be used in many places. So where do these isinglasses come from? Of course it is collected, just like collecting taxes, a farmer pays a little.
But is there a large number of fish that can be caught and killed all year round?
So for this bit of isinglass, is it worthwhile for the central court to send people down to collect it? At the same time, not all of these gelatins were handed over to the court. Do the local counties need to repair their armaments? Do you want to keep some too? Is it possible to collect all of them and send them out again?
So it’s not that the people in the central government don’t know, but that it’s very troublesome to change. The most critical problem is that these big bosses don’t know how to change it, so they can only maintain the status quo...
This maintenance lasted for a thousand years!
『If someone is close to Nongsang, do you want Chonggema? Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong and Zhuge and asked, "If it''s cold today, if it continues to be severe this year, there will be a lot of winter clothes missing... If there is a shortage, what should I do?" 』
This is the problem with Zhuge Liang''s strategy.
Neither can it be treated for headaches, nor can it be said that it only focuses on agriculture and mulberry, and other things become a foil. Just like Zhuge Liang did make great contributions in Sichuan and Shu, but during Zhuge Liang''s administration, besides Shu brocade, what other trade commodities could be sold in Sichuan and Shu?
Even if you can’t sell copper and iron and other pipe products, there are so many bamboos in Sichuan and Sichuan, and if you fight rattan soldiers, you can sell rattan cards. Isn’t the weakness clear anyway? Or simply let Meng Huo go south to bring some agate and jadeite from Burma, wouldn''t it be the same? Is it really impossible to sell a few elephants? Doesn''t Cao Chong like to call them?
It is not bad to emphasize agriculture and mulberry, but it is a problem to only emphasize agriculture and mulberry.
Just like what Fei Qian said, the clothes of the soldiers are not a small amount. If they are not prepared, it will be very troublesome at that time.
Before the Han Dynasty, especially during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the climate was very warm, which can be seen from the murals of later generations. Before the Warring States Period, all clothing was togata with long sleeves. It was not until Zhao Guo modified it that some clothing suitable for combat was formed. Why is it a toga with big sleeves? One factor may be that the cutting is simple and the level of craftsmanship is insufficient, and the other reason may be that the weather is too hot, such as the local tyrants in the Middle East who wear robes all the year round.
Now Feiqian distributes the standard Gebu and linen gowns set in the early days to these soldiers under his command, which are pure natural and absolutely do not add any chemical fiber ingredients. These natural fabrics do not generate static electricity, and are very breathable and perspiration-permeable. They are better than many materials in later generations. The only problem is that the weaving is relatively sparse due to the problem of the textile process. If they are washed frequently, they will easily fall apart...
In the past, because the temperature was not bad, winter clothing was not needed much, but now, large-scale production and stockpiling of thicker winter clothing must be put on the agenda immediately, and the Gebu linen produced in the field has a strong resistance to severe cold If it is not enough, we must focus on the development of other winter clothes.
After a rough estimate, it will take about 100,000 sets in the initial stage. If each set uses 12 feet of cloth, then about 25,000 to 30,000 pieces of fabric will be needed, and fillers will be needed at the same time...
The soldiers in the south of Sichuan and Sichuan are not needed for the time being. The average temperature there is above 20 degrees. After all, there are Qinling Mountains blocking the temperature. It is also not suitable for crop growth.
What? cotton?
Yes, the cheapest one is of course a cotton coat.
But the production of cotton can''t keep up now, and it may be barely usable in a few years, but at this stage, if we insist on doing it, there is only kapok. At the same time, there are not large-scale kapoks in any place, only in Sichuan and Shu, and in Jiaozhi and Nanyue, but there are basically no kapoks in the north. For example, there are basically no pieces of kapok in Guanzhong.
Fei Qian has asked Xu Shu to send people to search and collect more kapoks in the Sichuan and Shu area, mainly to see if there are large-scale kapok forests. Regular picking is the kingly way.
The other thing is the sweater, it’s just a sweater, just thicker wool.
This thing is also good at keeping warm, but it is not wind-resistant.
To resist the wind, you still need down jackets, but the problem is down. There are quite a few. After all, the number of livestock raised by Fei Qian can also supply some. You don’t need to rely on barbarians for all of them, but the problem is don’t think that down jackets are just two pieces. Cloth wrapped in a pile of velvet, in fact, the technical content is not low.
Even in later generations, down jackets still had the phenomenon of "drilling hair" in the 1980s and 1990s. As of the Han Dynasty, no matter what kind of fabric it is, this problem cannot be avoided, and it can only be used to make do with it.
The last one is Hu people’s felt, fur, etc., but those things also have defects. Simply put, according to the current level of craftsmanship, when the weather is warm and humid, mold and insects on these furs are simply not too common, let alone If you don''t take care of it for a month, you can eat big holes even in more than ten days. If the soldiers are in battle, do they go to the battlefield to fight, or should they turn the fur to dry after the truce?
Whether it is a sweater or a fur, it is obviously not something that Nong Sang can handle. Now that Pang Tong and Zhuge Ranfei have made a gesture, "weigh it with the law, and lure it with profit", then when you need something to keep out the cold in the future, do you still need it? Do another mobilization meeting on animal husbandry? In the future, we may need to increase the collection of coal and oil, so is it necessary to make another statement on energy?
And this mobilization meeting is held every year, even if the initial effect is good, it will not be very good after a long time...
The gentry’s surname is not a fool, Fei Qian should be regarded as a very common promotion, just like now, it means that the cold spring is very serious, there is a problem with Lao Tzu’s Zhuanghe, and I confiscated it, and the last one is you who are unlucky! So you have to contribute manpower to help now!
These gentry clansmen would lament, what a **** disaster, and then silently and obediently obey Pang Tong''s deployment, because these people knew that if the Fei Qian was really not enough, the pressure of food and grass would still fall on their heads sooner or later. So helping Feiqian is also equivalent to helping themselves.
But once Feiqian uses too much force, he will focus on pushing Nongsang...
It is even possible that not only will there be no more food on the market, but even less, believe it or not?
China has never been short of smart people, especially those with small smarts.
『That’s why…』 Fei Qian smiled slightly, looked at Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, and said, “Fortune comes when misfortune depends on it, and misfortune depends on it! This is also a good opportunity for governance...』
Govern what?
Govern the small peasant economy that has dragged down China for thousands of years!
