Chapter 2415 Keduan Yuyan
To talk about places like Longyou and Longxi, they are actually in a relatively strange position in the Han Kingdom.
Let’s just say it’s noisy, this place is indeed quite noisy.
The chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty was in Longyou, Liangzhou, and its momentum spread all the way to the east, until the chaos in the Central Plains, and then the three kingdoms came together. It may be reasonable to say that it was the cause of the chaos in the Three Kingdoms.
But let’s talk about loyalty, this place is relatively loyal.
Historically, the centrifugal tendency of Liangzhou itself did not seem to be serious. At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dou Rong claimed to be the general of the five counties in Hexi, but he did not have a long-term separatist regime like Kua Xiao and Gongsun Shu. Liu Xiu sent an envoy and immediately surrendered. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although Han and Ma led the Qiang and Hu cavalry to ravage the whole prefecture, the actual control area was limited, and the imperial court was still able to dispatch the state governor and prefects of various counties there without interruption. Later, Ma Chao captured Jicheng, killed the governor Wei Kang, and really wanted to separatist Liangzhou, but Yang Fu, Jiang Xu and other local tyrants joined forces, and drove him away in an instant.
This contradictory mentality is actually a microcosm of the big man at the moment.
Not only in Longyou, in Guanzhong, but also in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and even in places such as Xu County under the emperor''s rule, some people have long been wondering what "Tu Gao" is, while others are It is to accuse the former of being a careerist and a destroyer of a big man.
Under such circumstances, some people suspect that Fei Qian has the intention to usurp the throne, and want to overthrow the big man, and there are naturally many people.
Speaking of the current Han situation, Cao Cao is holding the emperor hostage, Fei Qian is setting up a separate minister, and Sun Quan is occupying Jiangdong. On the surface, it is still a family, but in fact the separatist situation has already unfolded. Although Yuan Shu, who usurped the throne before, everyone None of them expressed any intention of usurping the big man, but in fact the trend of usurping has already been achieved.
It can be said that the current situation is only one step away from the abolition of the Great Han Emperor.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and people like Pang Tong and Xun You are no exception.
If Fei Qian had moved his mind at the moment, and took another step up by taking advantage of the momentum of the army, the feathers would gallop, from north to south, it might be an instant change of flag!
Especially when Feiqian had just quelled the surrounding rebellion, taking the opportunity to set up a flag, it is very possible that the big gentry in these areas would immediately bow their heads and support Dai Feiqian in order to protect their status.
The same is probably true of these places in history. When Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, it did not cause great political turmoil in the northern states and counties. The great turmoil had been vented as early as Cao Cao''s death. Of course, it has something to do with Cao Pi giving up his Lao Tzu''s struggle line and choosing the peace negotiation mode.
So under such circumstances, the incident of the emperor''s procurement is very interesting. This subtle state of mind also appeared between Pang Tong and Xun You.
Pang Tong''s suggestion is very direct. It seems that the reason for "owing money" is to reject the emperor''s request for goods purchase, but is it actually simply talking about goods?
Obviously not.
In high-level politics, perhaps fools are the ones who focus on money and forget about other aspects...
Xun You on the other side is not a fool either. His state of wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, being worried and entangled actually represents Xun You''s current state of mind...
So after getting an answer of "the time has not come" from Fei Qian, Xun You breathed a sigh of relief, while Pang Tong, although a little surprised, felt that since it was Fei Qian''s decision, there was nothing to say.
The matter of Han Zuo is difficult to revive, which is basically the calculation in the minds of people of insight at the moment.
Except for a small number of royalists who can''t even be regarded as royalists still gather around the emperor of Han Dynasty, most of the rest of them know it in their hearts, even Zhuge Liang in history knows it, so he went out to assist Liu Bei in protecting Liu Bei. In "Yes", "Baye can be successful" is placed in front of "Hanshi Kexing"...
Only by changing the dynasty can there be peace in the world. If we continue to live on, will there be troubles again?
This is the worry of Zhuge Liang in history, and it is also the worry of many people today.
Xun You took the ledger and left. He temporarily let go of his worries, but he felt that the future became more and more obscure.
Pang Tong rested his cheek on the side, imitating Fei Qian, tapping on the table lightly.
Feiqian laughed and said, "Does Shiyuan want to lift the jade of the Marquis of Liyang?" 』
Pang Tong waved his hand and said: "If it is useful to raise jade, I will give it seventeen or eight times..."
Fei Qian laughed out loud.
『My lord, if you think about this matter, there is nothing wrong with it, why not? Pang Tong sat up a little more and asked.
Pang Tong''s meaning, Fei Qian is also clear.
After all, the emperor, no matter what, is an existence that has maintained the rule for three or four hundred years. No matter how hard it is, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still surnamed Liu, and the powerful ministers, the three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty are as many as crucian carp crossing the river. If he can''t take that step in the end, will he be able to smoothly transfer power to the next generation after he dies?
Since the Han Dynasty, how can the powerful officials continue for many generations without usurping?
The Huo family, the Dou family, the Deng family, and the Liang family are all like this. Only the Wang family has been passed down for two generations, but after all, there is still no escape from the word "usurpation".
At that time, power will be reshuffled, who can keep the peace in all directions?
Cao Cao is getting older, followed by Fei Qian, and Sun Quan and Liu Xie are almost the same age.
Normally speaking, Cao Cao would die before Fei Qian, and Sun Quan would be the final winner.
An emperor who has been a puppet all his life, can he cheer up in a blink of an eye, have great talents, show grand plans, and revitalize the big man? If the courtiers continue to rule, will there still be a second or third separatist boss? Then how many years will this war that started from Dong Zhuo last?
Nowadays, the policies implemented by Fei Qian and the Sanfu in Guanzhong are more and more showing their advantages, but it is precisely because of these advantages that the Shandong gentry continue to slander and resist, and even continue to slander ordinary people in the areas they rule. Render Fei Qian''s cruelty and greed to set off the correctness of his rule.
Although it is said that the lie will be revealed sooner or later, just like justice delayed is not justice, what if Fei Qian can''t wait for the day when it will be revealed?
Therefore, for Pang Tong, it is his duty to eliminate internal and external hostile forces. For example, taking this opportunity to beat the Shandong gentry, Pang Tong thinks it is no big deal, even if it is in the name of the emperor, so what? When Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor, the Shandong gentry didn''t have to fart, but now they can jump high without paying the debt? Why do you have this face?
In fact, this face is really possible. It''s like the later generations are also a lot of double-standard dogs, rightly scolding the phoenix man and the green tea **** this side for being a puppet, and then turning around to the other side and immediately shouting that the boss is still missing pendants Does the rich woman still lack happy balls...
Pang Tong knows that such behavior will affect business exchanges, but now the business exchanges between things are gradually out of balance, that is to say, the total price paid by Feiqian to the east now exceeds what he gets from the east, so Pang Tong It is natural to think that even if the business relationship with the east is cut off, it will not have any impact on the overall situation.
But sometimes, for some things, you can''t just stare at the price gap on the surface. What''s more, for Feiqian at present, the responsibilities of business are not only to provide taxes and increase income.
On the surface, Fei Qian didn''t pay special attention to business. He just put forward the idea that "scholars, farmers, businessmen" are equal to the four peoples and all industries are equal. He also didn''t let businessmen take up some serious local positions. Regulating the behavior of businessmen has also confused some people to some extent, thinking that Feiqian''s attitude towards business and businessmen is nothing more than that.
Pang Tong didn''t understand these very well, so it was necessary for Fei Qian to explain to him.
Fei Qian smiled, then pointed to the sesame cake in the bean plate on the table, and said, "Does Shi Yuan know the origin of this sesame seed?" 』
The fat-headed black bird shook its hair, squinting at the sesame cakes on the bean plate, "My lord, it''s like cooking, when it''s hot?" 』
Fei Qian nodded, then shook his head and said, "Why did Zhang Qian have flax, but now there are sesame cakes?" 』
The sesame cake is small in size, decorated with sesame seeds on the outside, it looks golden and crispy, and it tastes burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. It is very delicious with cheese and refined salt added in it. Of course, if you want some people to feel that it is more high-end, you can say that cheese is added in it, and it immediately meets the taste of some people?
When Fei Qian first arrived in Dahan, he didn''t have high requirements for food. He originally thought that although Dahan had no seasoning, MSG, or chili, the food was all natural and fresh, and he should be able to adapt to it, but he didn''t expect it to be painful for a long time.
There is no such thing as a time-traveling person who once arrived in ancient times, whoever eats something will pull his neck and cry, and even feel moved to tears...
In fact, many things in the Han Dynasty were not tasty, quite bad.
The cooking method is very simple, and the so-called freshness is limited to a few types, such as the ones that are grown and raised in the corners of the fields and yards, or those that are caught in ponds and Hanoi. Others are basically not fresh at all. Even the raw materials of the dishes sold in the city''s market are not fresh. After all, there were no freezers in the Han Dynasty, and there was no way to keep them fresh.
In addition, some vegetables in the Han Dynasty are actually very different from the vegetables in later generations.
Take the simple reeds and cabbage as an example. Of course, this is the name of the Han Dynasty. If it is called by later generations, it is radish and cabbage. Then the radish and cabbage grow like that naturally, without changing for thousands of years?
Obviously impossible.
After generations of selection, cultivation, survival of the fittest, and even improvement and grafting, it can become a delicacy on people''s table. As far as the present is concerned, the fruits and vegetables that are common these days are not half the size of later generations, and the fibers are relatively thick, toothsome, and the taste is relatively pungent, and some are even bitter, so many of them are used for salting, wine, etc. Stains, otherwise it really doesn''t taste good, and the taste is not a bit worse than that of later generations.
After Fei Qian came, he improved a lot. Otherwise, according to the original cooking method of the Han Dynasty, boiling water and stewing, throwing some coarse salt and a piece of vinegar cloth, it would really be like those little goblins of the later generations who traveled to the Han Dynasty and were eager to make a fool of themselves. After eating a meal, it is not clear whether it will be moved by the fresh ingredients, but it is certain that it will cry after eating.
Sesame is flax.
Flax has been around since Zhang Qian traveled to the Western Regions.
Seriously speaking, from Zhang Qian''s time to now, sesame should be very popular, but unfortunately, no matter in Heluo before or in Jingzhou, Feiqian has not seen any sesame dishes, even Sesame oil is rare...
the reason is simple.
Sesame is not grown much.
Then why are there not many sesame seeds planted? It was not until Feiqian came here that it was planted on a large scale, and then small cakes such as sesame cakes were launched, and sesame oil was extracted on a large scale?
『Ji Zhiwen, Jing Xuanmo, the fifth generation of Yangmin, the world is wealthy, with more than enough financial resources, and the scholars and horses are strong. Therefore, if you can see rhinoceros and tortoiseshell, you can build the seven counties of Zhuya; Since then, pearls, Wenjia, rhinoceros, and emerald feathers have filled the harem; horses with thin shoots, dragon patterns, fish eyes, and sweat and blood have filled the yellow gate; giant elephants, teachers, fierce dogs, and big sparrows have eaten In the outer confinement. Foreign objects from different directions come from all directions...」
Fei Qian suddenly memorized a passage.
Pang Tong seemed to have gained a little, and he began to meditate.
『Emperor Xiaowu went out of the fortress five times to attack the Xiongnu, many soldiers died, and ten war horses did not return to one. Because of the lack of military expenditures, merchants are heavily punished, and their families are ruined. Ninety-nine out of ten of them die, and they end up killing themselves..." Fei Qian said slowly, "What''s more, there are only a few thousand people in the Western Regions guarding Luntai. , but it needs a large donation from the Han Dynasty, and it has to travel thousands of miles to fund it? 』
『Why? There is no business. 』
Sometimes Feiqian finds it funny when he sees some documents and archives of the Han Dynasty. The Western Regions are so big that it is impossible to provide local supplies for thousands of soldiers.
Then the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty played the emperor like a monkey?
Begging with the golden rice bowl of the Silk Road?
Is it really so poor, or is it pretending to be so poor?
Before Fei Qian, none of the political elites in Dahan really wanted to completely ban all commercial activities, but at the same time, few people paid attention to business. In the eyes of these people, businessmen are like servants to the country. Without such servants, the house may be dirty and no one will wash and cook, but no one really thinks that such servants are so important , must be encouraged and rewarded.
In addition, the children of the gentry also have a natural hostility towards businessmen.
One side is studying hard in the cold window, chanting history and chanting scriptures, seeking connections to win favors, finally becoming an official, and starting from a small place, even if it is scraping land, it must be distributed to colleagues and tribute to the boss. How long does it take to save some money. On the other side, they watched the businessman take the caravan for a few trips, and they were filled with wealth.
How can this **** bear it?
Fuck him!
However, if the grievances of the gentry children towards the merchants are put aside, how useful are the merchants to the small peasant economy?
For example, there is a poor mountain valley with no merchants, and its residents only know how to farm to feed themselves and weave hemp to keep out the cold. Then the fruits of their labor only need to be enough for their own family, and the rest of their leisure can only be used for daze or making people.
Because even if more crops are produced, it is useless. You can only eat so much for yourself, and you don’t have enough storage technology and equipment, so in the end you just let the extra crops rot in the fields.
One day a merchant came and brought them ironware, pottery, and new production tools, so that they could get more output with less effort, but the farmers had to produce more than usual More products can be afforded. As a result, some farmers wanted a more comfortable future and began to work harder during the period to produce more crops.
After a while, another merchant arrived, bringing livestock and silk fabrics. In a sense, it was considered a large amount of consumption, or a luxury, for the farmers in the valley. Although the farmer''s savings were exchanged, after the transaction, the life of the farmer became more comfortable, fulfilling, and more meaningful. The farmer with the oxen no longer needed to use his shoulders to pull the plow, which relieved the pain. You don''t even need your own children to go to the fields before they grow up...
There are also merchants who brought information from afar, making these farmers, or their children start to walk out of the mountains...
It''s like sesame seeds.
『At the beginning of flax, the gains from the Western Regions were also stored in the imperial garden, so as not to fulfill the king’s selfish desires... 』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『Now we will spread the plants widely and use them to make cakes...』
Pang Tong pondered for a moment, "Now the lord wants to plant in Shandong?" 』
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
Planting, not just growing a flax.
There have been no merchants in Shandong for too long, and all information is closed. Just as Fei Qian used coins to open the way for Hu people to educate, merchants are also needed to cultivate the market in Shandong.
It’s like the express cabinets of later generations killed the last mile, free Autobots killed the animation industry, free games killed some people, free pirated texts killed writers…
The free little hand was very pleasant to touch at first, but when the little hand grasped the vital point and began to change its face and exert strength, it was no longer enough to just kneel down and call Dad, these free little hands before had to be called grandpa!
When the market in Shandong, the merchants in Shandong, and the handicraft industry in Shandong all changed into the shape of Guanzhong...
Fools only focus on the immediate interests, while those who are far-sighted will focus on the future.
Pang Tong frowned and thought for a while, then sighed, "Maybe I''m a little anxious..."
China''s products are relatively rich, and you can ask for all kinds of things. At the same time, the children of the gentry generally have limited vision, so the Silk Road has not received much attention, but the people in Central Asia are different. The eyeballs are bursting with fire. Now that Fei Qian reopened the Western Regions, the influence is not wide enough. If it really spreads, those guys will not come to the east like crazy?
Pang Tong thought about it, and suddenly said: "Someone suddenly remembered something... this place of warmth..."
『Wen Hou…』 Fei Qian nodded, expressing that he knew it, 『Leave it alone for now...』
Recovering the Western Regions and re-opening the Silk Road is indeed Lu Bu''s contribution. However, as the shape of the Western Regions has changed, after the initial war mode has changed to the current trade mode, a new pattern has gradually emerged. new question.
In the Chinese tradition, merchants are regarded as lowly business, and most of them are negligent in the management of commercial activities, let alone in-depth research. Within a period of time, Fei Qian received a lot of feedback about Lu Bu''s subordinates setting up checkpoints in private, imposing taxes on a large scale, and eating their brains full of fat...
There are records from Zhiyinjian, private secret reports, and descriptions of some situations in the Western Regions by Gao Wutong and others, all of which show that this problem has already appeared and spread.
And Lu Bu didn''t seem to be aware of this problem, or didn''t he take it seriously?
At this stage, let the bullets fly for a while.
Perhaps if it was replaced by the Han Dynasty, it would be "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan"...
