Chapter 1982 The antecedent of Longyou, Jia Xu’s foresight


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


    ?? Today, Wuwei in Longyou is also the hometown of Jia Xu. It has become an important node in Longyou and a concentrated area for the Longyou gentry.


    Longyou, in fact, is the land of Lao Qin.


    During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty was sealed in the land of Western Qiang, and the area it developed was actually this area. At the same time, it is very interesting that Longyou was not exactly a barbarian territory as the Han gentry thought. The land is an area lacking in cultural atmosphere. On the contrary, in fact, during the pre-Qin period, the ancestors of Longyou had already created rich ancient culture here. For example, there are some ancient myths that have a certain connection with Longyou. At the same time, individual chapters in the "Book of Songs", a representative of pre-Qin poetry, 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 man.


    But this celebrity has always been ostracized by the gentry of the Eastern Han Dynasty because he was a bit "apostate". Even the works he wrote were rarely mentioned, let alone widely disseminated.


    Jia Xu was sitting in the car, swaying and frowning slightly.


    Although General Fei Qian of the Hussars attaches great importance to Longyou, and the main official roads are generally smooth, there is still no way to take care of more remote areas like Linjing, so the roads are bumpy. It''s inevitable.


    Jia Xu originally seemed to be coming by horseback, but the canopy carriage was a matter of face, just like many people don''t wear long johns in winter. It may not be because they are not afraid of the cold, but for other reasons.


    It was bumpy, so it was naturally walking slowly, and Longxi itself produced horses, so the news had already reached Linjing before Jia Xu''s people arrived.


    The Wang family of Linjing is not very big in terms of reputation or official position compared to other families in the Eastern Han Dynasty with a population of tens of thousands, but it is not small either. , after all, it is said to be a branch from Wang Jian''s time, and the inheritance continues to this day.


    ??Among the Linjing Wang family, Wang Han is the one in charge. After hearing the news that Jia Xu was coming to Linjing, he naturally held a small family meeting immediately...


    "Jia Shijun is here, I don''t know whether it is a blessing or a curse..." someone in the audience sighed.


    Hearing the word "disaster", Wang Han''s eyebrows suddenly jumped and he glanced away in displeasure. "Although Jia Shijun did not state the purpose, there must be a reason for reaching this point. Otherwise, why bother with the carriage and horses?" "If it is really a disaster, then it is not Jia Shijun who comes, but the soldiers and horses. Since Jia Xu came in person, there must be a reason for coming in person. Finding out this reason is the theme of today''s meeting!


    Come here for money and food? 』


    “Spring plowing has just begun, where will the money and food come from?” 』


    『Heard that the Western Regions are using troops, they naturally need money and food...』


    “Even so, there are no conscription orders in the four areas of Longyou, so why did Jia Shijun come here? Is it possible to directly adjust the money and food in Linjing? Even so, how long would it take to visit Jingcang Village? 』


    That makes sense...』


    Then...why? 』


    Suddenly someone said: "Could it be that... the hidden man came here?" 』


    ?Wang Han took a breath and suddenly felt a toothache. "If you really came here for this, hey..."


    『Wang Jiexin is really harmful to people, and he still leaves such poison to this day! ” Suddenly someone said angrily.


    『Be careful what you say! Be careful! Wang Han pinched his beard and said, "You are thinking too much!" Why is this so? 』


    “If not because of this, why did Jia Shijun come? I said something early one morning, it would be a disaster if I kept it..."


    ?Wang Han frowned and said, "Okay!" Regardless of ancestors, this is etiquette! 』


    你uation, if you are just a person without any outsiders, how can you be called an ancestor? 』


    『Asshole! Wang Han waved his hand and said, "If you say this again, you will be punished according to the family law!" When Jia Shijun comes to visit this time, he will strictly abide by his words and deeds. If the Wang family''s reputation is tarnished, he will be severely punished! 』


    ??Wang Han also realized that these people obviously couldn''t come up with anything, and finally lost patience and directly issued an order to prepare people to welcome Jia Xu.


    This is often the case with current affairs. The more you don''t want to encounter something, the more likely it will happen.


    Jia Xu came to settle Linjing because of Wang Fu''s suicide note "Qian Fu Lun". It is said that after Wang Fu went into seclusion, he continued to write "Qianfu Lun", but this part of the book was not displayed to the public...


    There are many reasons. The most important one is that the "Qianfu Lun" written by Wang Fu at that time did not conform to the cognitive labeling of the upper class and was also contrary to the concepts adhered to by most Shandong gentry. Therefore, Wang Fu Naturally, he was pushed to the edge. Although he was praised as "seeing two thousand stones is not as good as a crack", he still died in poverty and loneliness.


    At the same time, because of Wang Fu, the court controlled by the Shandong gentry has adopted a tacit rejection of all Linjing Wang families, for fear that the second Wang Fu will appear. Under such circumstances, Anping The Linjing Wang clan’s understanding of Wang Fu is naturally full of contradictions...


    On the one hand, having such an ancestor naturally feels a bit glorious, but on the other hand, because of this ancestor, the Wang family in Anding and Linjing has never been able to serve as an official, and watching others enjoy the popular and spicy food, does this feel in your heart? I felt a little unhappy, and resentment naturally arose.


    After all, no matter how famous the ancestors are, they cannot be converted into actual benefits, and they may even hinder their own development. This is naturally a bit ridiculous, and what is very important is that Wang Fu himself is a concubine, and his mother is just a side sect. She was the daughter of a small family, so there were no branches left after Wang Fu. Neither her Wang Fu itself nor her maternal surname had any descendants, so she naturally had no scruples about talking dirty.


    Two days later, Jia Xu arrived in Anding Linjing.


    To the west of Anding Linjing, a hill protrudes from the undulating hills. Although it is not very steep, there is a small pavilion built on the top of the hill. It is surrounded by green trees and colorful flowers, which is quite a bit... The scenery is beautiful, so the place to welcome Jia Xu is naturally located here.


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


    ?Wang Han followed. As a member of the old people in Linjing Township, he also followed behind. Jia Xu was chatting and laughing with the Anding County Magistrate and other officials, and seemed to be in a lively conversation. Wang Han watched secretly, but saw that Jia Xu was wearing a wide robe and long sleeves, looking like a worldly expert, and the surrounding guards did not seem to be murderous. The situation must be determined in mind.


    The conversation between Jia Xu and others was indeed very lively, and we kept talking to each other. But as he was talking, for some unknown reason, Jia Xu''s expression suddenly changed, he put down his wine glass and sighed softly.


    Magistrate Zhao also immediately followed up with a clear and reasonable sentence, "I wonder why you are sighing?" 』


    Jia Xu sighed and said: "When I was a young man, I also climbed up this hill and entered this pavilion to look at the red leaves on the hill. Suddenly, twenty years later, I came here again and saw the old scenery, but I thought that my old friend had gone. , the past is different, I can’t help but sigh..."


    After Jia Xu finished speaking, everyone suddenly looked at each other in confusion. How should they respond to these words? Are you saying that Jia Shijun should not think too much, or are you saying that it is better to have someone new than an old friend? But the leader has said so, do we need to express it to some extent...


    Magistrate Zhao said: "The current situation is chaotic and beyond human control..." Everyone responded with emotion and looked sad.


    Jia Xu looked like he was "reminiscing about the past", but in fact he saw everyone''s reactions in his eyes, "However, in the past twenty years, there have been internal and external disputes, chaos among the Yellow Turban bandits, wars raging, the color of the world has changed, and the country has been in turmoil - I think You can still enjoy the mountain scenery, but I wonder if your majesty can enjoy the scenery in Xu County..." As he spoke, Jia Xu actually covered his face with his sleeves, as if he was crying.


    When Magistrate Zhao saw this, he quickly raised his sleeves to wipe his eyes. Everyone also made sad faces one after another, covering their faces and eyes. As for whether there were real tears or not, it depends on the person. These words are even harder to pick up than the previous ones.


    "When I was young, I had a question, and there was a talented person in Linjing. He did not agree with the secular world. He criticized the gains and losses of current politics, denounced the cronies of powerful people as traitors, advocated righteous learning, cared about the people, paid attention to the frontier, inspired people to think, and made people think..." Jia Xu turned his eyes and said, "I wonder if there will be any descendants today..."


    Magistrate Zhao looked stunned, then turned to Wang Han with a "kind face" and said, "What a coincidence!" And there are descendants of Wang Jiexin here..."


    To be honest, apart from Wang Fu, there is really no one worthy of praise from the Wang family in Linjing. On weekdays, they just know how to be tough in the wilds of their hometown. If they really want to leave Linjing, their courage will be reduced. point. When Wang Han saw Jia Xu, he asked, and with the words of Magistrate Zhao, he quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply in greeting.


    Jia Xu also looked surprised and expressed cordial condolences. Naturally, he also mentioned the mountain forest where Wang Fu lived in seclusion in the past, saying that he would go and pay homage to Yun Yun tomorrow.


    For a while, the host and guest were happy and harmonious, and then Jia Xu and Magistrate Zhao went down to the mountain pavilion and continued to rest in the city. However, Wang Han felt uneasy. On the one hand, he had to deal with the constant stream of people who were either real or real. He stepped forward to congratulate him falsely, but on the other hand he didn''t know what would happen next. He was beating a small drum in his heart, and it was pounding all the way back.


    Not to mention the murmurings of Zhao Ji, Wang Han and others, Jia Xu took Meng Shu to the post house. Well, it is not actually a post house. What kind of serious post house can there be in a small place like Linjing? , is also a courtyard of the Wang family, specially cleaned for Jia Xu.


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


    Meng Shu took his guards and checked around the place, then returned to the main hall to resume his duties.


    Jia Xu saw it, holding the tea cup, and then tilted his head slightly to signal, "Sit down." 』


    Thank you, envoy. Meng Shu hesitated for a moment, but still thanked him and sat down.


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


    Mengshu nodded and said, "That''s true." Although someone is not talented, looking at the land of Linjing, although the mulberry family is acceptable, the production may not be prosperous. If we talk about people, all the people are general... The so-called Wang family is even more rough. Husband''s theory, it seems a bit..."


    ??Jia Xu laughed, nodded, and then said softly: "I came here not to ask for money or food, nor to ask for talents, but... came for the Lord..."


    For the Lord? ” Meng Shu was stunned.


    Jia Xu nodded and said: "My lord made a great speech at Qinglong Temple, refuting the heretical scriptures and condemning the false texts. This is an eternal achievement!" It''s just that... what has been broken should be established... And the great scholars of the dynasty have all been studying modern literature for a long time. Although Sima and Zheng are famous, the books they wrote are often inconsistent with the master''s intention, which is unbearable. use…"


    Meng Shu thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Could it be..."Qian Fu Lun"?" 』


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


    Mengshu swallowed his saliva.


    ?But Jia Xu glanced at Meng Shu again, smiled and said, "The second thing is to help my lord understand the style of the people in Longyou..."


    "The scholars of Longyou often practiced military affairs and had the style of martyrs and warriors. During the period of filial piety, there were flying generals in Longxi and their sons dared to do so. There was also the Sun family who fought against the Xiongnu. During the Zhao and Xuan periods, there was Shang Hao. , who came out of the Zhao family and quelled the Qiang rebellion, they are all good generals. Everyone in the world says that "the generals from Kansai" are...until..."


    Jia Xu sighed slightly.


    Meng Shu thought that it was Dong Zhuo that Jia Xu was sighing at, and felt that Dong Zhuo had ruined Longyou''s reputation as a "soldier general". He sighed a little in his heart, but he didn''t know that in fact, Jia Xu''s heart was completely different from what he thought. .


    What Jia Xu lamented was Guangwu.


    Jia Xu did not feel that Dong Zhuo was wrong at all. Even if Dong Zhuo was wrong, it was the Han Dynasty and it was the fault of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu who made the mistake earlier.


    Because from the beginning, the Han Dynasty did not give much space to the heroic class in Longyou. After Emperor Guangwu, things got worse and worse...


    Even though there were so many Longyou soldiers who would sacrifice their lives for the Han Dynasty before, the Han Dynasty had always been on guard against the people in Longyou. The so-called "Li Guang was difficult to seal" was not entirely because Li Guang was an unlucky man. It was because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was unwilling to make a man from Longyou a marquis!


    So what Li Guang gets in his hands will always be second-rate or even shoddy. If he wants to come back and slap Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the face in such an environment, I am afraid that it is only possible to travel through the crowd.


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


    The development and establishment of Longyou in the Western Han Dynasty were carried out in sequence. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Longxi was established after inheriting the Qin Dynasty. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used troops against the Xiongnu, he developed the four counties of Hexi and the two counties of Tianshui and Anding. During the reign of Emperor Xuan, Zhao Chongguo defeated the Western Qiang and later established Jincheng County. . Except for Longxi County, which has a small number of original Han people in the eight counties of Longyou, the Han people in the remaining seven counties were basically migrated from the interior by the Han Dynasty through farming, prison, and military garrison.


    ??And these people formed an extremely complex social ecology through marriage with the local Qiang and Hu people, and this social ecology and folk customs were promoted by the Han Dynasty.


    Perhaps the original idea of ??the Han Dynasty was to raise a good dog named Long You, which could cooperate with the Wuhuan of Liaodong to attack the Xiongnu with their bows. This was indeed achieved at first, but as time went by, as the owner The Emperor of the Han Dynasty suddenly felt that this dog Longyou was so vicious, and people were so scared...


    In the heyday of Longyou, "there were benefits from the Qiang in the west, and livestock from the Rong and Zhai in the north", and "livestock farming was the source of wealth for the world". The Qiang and Hu soldiers were the most powerful force in the world during the Han Dynasty. It is said that "the strongest and bravest people in the world, feared by the common people, include the Bing and Liang people, the Xiongnu, the Tuge, the Yicong in the Wanderings, and the Western Qiang"...


    Especially during the Guangwu period, because the Poxiao forces in Longyou were very powerful and became a major obstacle to the unification of the Eastern Han Dynasty, creating great trouble for Liu Xiu''s unification, so Liu Xiu pacified the Weixiao forces. After that, they immediately cut off the possible alliance between the Longyou forces and the Qiang and Hu forces, and became the first task of the Eastern Han Dynasty when facing Longxi.


    ?Lu Fang''s forces were eliminated with pretexts, the Kaixiao branch and the Xianling Qiang were separated and moved to different places. Even the Hexi Dourong forces, which had made great contributions to Liu Xiu''s unification of Longyou, could not escape the fate of being dismembered. Dou Rong was deported from Hexi and served as the shepherd of Jizhou. Liang Tong and Ban Biao were conscripted into the court, and Ma Yuan was sent to conquer the east and west, and finally died on the southern expedition...


    After the Yongchu Rebellion, Yu Xu made suggestions, not only reminding the ruling class not to forget the dangers of local forces in Longyou, but also suggested that Captain Zhang Yu should "recruit the heroes of Liangtu, bring their shepherds and guardians to the court, and order each government to establish a number of them" People should use persuasion on the outside to respond to their hard work, and restraint on the inside to prevent their evil plans..."


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


    ?However, even so, can the Xiqiang riots be avoided?


    On the contrary, it made Long You, who was supposed to be the right-hand man of the Han Dynasty, at a loss during the Qiang chaos. He didn''t know whether he should mediate and mediate, or organize defense and resistance, because no matter what he did, he would probably be slapped with a big hat in the end. At best, the charges written on the hat are slightly different.


    So it is not surprising that during the Hengling period, there would be a half-century-long Xiqiang rebellion...


    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 going up the vine. Among the Han Dynasty, Jia Xu felt that there was only one general of the Hussars, Fei Qian, who made him feel He has a broad mind and warm arms that can accommodate and control Long You, a hound with some personality.


    "Third, my lord is now exploring the Western Region... Hexi is like an arm, and Longyou is in the middle, just like a person''s shoulder blade. Only by moving flexibly can we gain the benefits of the Western Region. As a minister, we should naturally plan ahead. How can we just obey orders?" Okay, like a clay puppet? Jia Xu smiled and said, "So, do you know why so-and-so is here?" 』


    Mengshu was suddenly stunned, and he raised his hands and said, "You are indeed far-sighted!" 』


    Jia Xu chuckled twice. In fact, in addition to the above positive reasons for Fei Qian, in fact, Jia Xu also had a bad taste lingering in his heart, that is, if these people in Longxi really After ascending to the Han court and occupying a place, the faces of the Shandong gentry who have suppressed Longxi for a long time must be quite exciting...
