Chapter 2051: Offer the rice to the front, discuss later


    『Haha, Brother Chen, are you okay...』


    『Brother Wang Xian, how are you doing lately? 』


    After today’s grand gathering, how about I ask you to be your host? 』


    『Why bother Brother Chen, why should I come and invite you...』


    Hey, money is something external to the body, why should we care about it like this? It’s better to let Brother Wei do it..."


    『It’s better for me, my younger brother...』


    The noisy and lively sounds are gathered in one place. Crowds gathered around the front square near the General''s Palace. Those who greeted each other, those who gathered together to discuss, and those who stretched their necks to look around were all different.


    In the restaurants and bars facing the street, any place with a better view is basically occupied by children from various families, either leaning on the railings or leaning behind the windows, whether they are optimistic about the Xin family or not, and Those who have some friendship with Xin, or those who have no friendship, are all here now.


    Are you joining in the fun? China is not inferior to others in this regard.


    After all, Xin’s current move undoubtedly added another fire and a spoonful of oil to the dispute between “farmers” and “businessmen” that had just subsided.


    Although General Hussar previously said that both agriculture and commerce should be given equal emphasis and not be biased, many people still feel that these days, commerce is undoubtedly the icing on the cake, and food is the most important thing anyway, so now a representative of the Xin family has appeared to offer "sweet rice." ”, which is quite interesting.


    What would the hussar general Fei Qian do?


    After all, the Xin family is also an old-school Yingchuan family. Although it is not a serious character of the Xin family, there are already female officials here in Feiqian, and there is no strict rule in the Han Dynasty that women must cover their heads and faces. , In fact, there was no such rule until the Tang Dynasty, so Xin Xianying stepped forward to offer "sweet rice", and no one would say that it was against the morals or anything.


    Standing next to Xin Xianying was Wang Shu. Zhen Mi was invisible and did not come. Zhen Mi didn''t show up, so naturally Zhen Mi had concerns. Then Wang Shu’s identity is roughly the same as that of Xin Xianying. They are both Shandong nobles, so some people can’t help but think about it. From a certain perspective, this act of dedication seems to have some political implications...


    Although Xin Xianying had seen some of the world, it was the first time that so many people were watching, so she was still a little nervous. Her face turned red, from her cheeks to her neck, like a red apple. If it weren''t for Wang Shu, Standing next to him, he couldn''t stand long ago, so he turned around and ran away.


    Wang Shu seemed to have a more natural demeanor, and even had time to turn her eyes and look left and right. Perhaps in her opinion, these nobles who did not have much skill in their hands and feet, even though they were large in number, were not as good as a group of weak-footed chickens. He''s almost the same kid, not threatening at all, so naturally there won''t be any tension.


    Thinking about it, if a person stands in front of a tiger or a wolf, he or she will have a different level of nervousness than if he stands in front of a chicken.


    Xin Xianying and Wang Shu were not very familiar with each other at first, that is, they only started to have some contact after Zhen Mi contacted them, but what is very interesting is that the two people get along more harmoniously with each other than with Zhen Mi. . Especially when Xin Xianying discovered that Wang Shu had martial arts, she was even more impressed. If she hadn''t felt that it was too painful to stretch her legs and tendons to learn martial arts, Xin Xianying would have worshiped Wang Shu as her teacher.


    Wang Shu looked at Xin Xianying''s red face and joked in a low voice: "Aren''t you usually very brave, but today it seems that you have shrunk your courage?" hehe…"


    Xin Xianying muttered: "Can this be the same?" Hussar, the last time I saw Hussar...we were so far away, and this time I thought about dedicating it to Hussar with my own hands, just...ah, I''m even more nervous! what to do! 』


    ˉ▽￣~)Tch~~" Wang Shu said disdainfully, "What is there to be nervous about? Just think about it, Qiusi also has one head and one mouth, and he can eat the sweet rice in your hand on the spot. ? 』


    Xin Xianying couldn''t help but keep her eyes on the sweet rice in her hand, and then imagined the hussar general chewing it, and couldn''t help but burst out laughing, "Well, cough, cough, I... feel much better..."


    “Speaking of which, maybe General Hussar really knows how to eat on the spot...” Wang Shu rolled his eyes and added.


    "ah? Xin Xianying was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little nervous again.


    Because it is a public dedication, it is not just something that can be taken casually. After all, it has a certain political meaning. If you want to give something to an ordinary family and just put it down and leave, that obviously won''t work. So this kind of "dedication" is basically based on "tribute". Of course, it is not as grand as the "tribute" of real princes. .


    ?Perhaps ordinary people don’t have much feeling about dedication or tribute, but in fact, in the minds of the nobles, the significance of this kind of behavior is far greater than the value of the items to be paid.


    The tributary system was formed between the central dynasty and the outer vassals. The emperor carried out direct administrative management in the central area of ????the country, and the rulers outside the direct area were ruled by the rulers of the outer vassals entrusted by the Central Plains dynasty. The central dynasty and the outer vassals formed a mutual relationship. This is a concept of "community" that says "the whole world is the land of the king".


    In the process of historical development and cultural dissemination, the centrally governed areas continued to expand. Many outer vassal areas gradually became part of China after accepting local Chinese social organizations and ideological and cultural concepts, and then new outer vassal areas would continue to be formed, that is The so-called "difference between Huayi".


    Therefore, this time the Xin family''s dedication was also considered by some people as a kind of weather vane. They even thought that this represented Shanxi overwhelming Shandong to a certain extent. Therefore, after hearing about it, they hurriedly gathered to watch the ceremony and discussed it one after another. It''s a natural thing.


    In the palace of the Hussars General, Fei Qian was listening to Wang Chang''s report on the entire dedication incident.


    ??Wang Chang is relatively young, and his contact level is also biased towards gentry disciples, so he naturally has more information about this incident than others.


    "My lord, the Zhen family is also involved in this matter..." Wang Chang said, "Someone vaguely heard in the past that Zhen, Wang, and Xin opened up fields outside the city to plant crops. I originally thought it was just a leisure activity. , never thought of it..."


    Pang Tong chuckled and said, "In this case, it can be considered a conspiracy..."


    Sorghum, normally, should mature in August or September. The earlier one would have been at the end of July, but now it is being "dedicated" at the end of June. What''s the purpose? Obviously, just to catch up with this wave of "agricultural and business" disputes...


    Is there any other time that would be better than now? Even though the sorghum was not yet mature, the opportunity was ripe and could not be missed, so Zhen Mi and the other three hurriedly selected a batch of sorghum that still looked good.


    The dispute between farmers and businessmen has attracted attention in itself. Now among the three of them, Zhenmi, Wang Shu and Xin Xianying, some are biased towards business, some are biased towards agriculture, and some are biased towards scholars. Now the three of them have done such a thing together. Doesn''t it mean that it just caters to the idea of ??"simultaneous development" proposed by Fei Qian before?


    ??So Pang Tong said that these three people were playing dirty tricks, which meant that these three people were not afraid of making this matter a big deal, or even afraid of being rejected by Fei Qian, because this was a matter on the table, and everyone got what they wanted.


    Fei Qian couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling a little amused. This method of gaining popularity really has a long history, regardless of ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad...


    Just like the marriage of a baby in later generations, a financial company took advantage of it and published an article "In-depth Analysis!" Why can Ma withdraw money from the baby''s card? ", "If Baby Wang Has a Family Trust" published by a trust company, and even the omnipotent certain treasure, selling the same type of **** that Ma was caught raping...


    In this era of popularity, you can really eat anything, whether it’s human blood steamed buns or human flesh steamed buns, you’ll enjoy eating them anyway. On the other hand, looking at the current method used by Zhen Mi and the others to gain popularity, it can be considered very elegant. It can even be said that he did a good job, because Fei Qian also needs such a flaunt. Since it is a flaunt, he doesn''t care who it is, Xin Xianying or Ying Xianxin.


    "Lord, everything is ready..."


    ? Huang Xu walked in and said that the security work around Jiangjunfu Square had been completed.


    Fei Qian looked around and laughed, "That''s it, let''s meet!" 』


    ?Outside the Hussars General Square, the soldiers had already put on full body armor, held up flags and banners, and stood tall and orderly. The Hussars General''s ceremonial guard was the same as that of the Three Dukes, plus the extra favors bestowed by the Emperor of Han Dynasty. At this time, they were all arranged in a row, which was very majestic. From the vermilion gate of the Huqifu Yamen, it extends to the left and right sides. Scepters, swords, spears, painted shields and other ceremonial guards were all bright and bright, followed by the two black iron tower-like guards of Xu and Chu, the capital of Wei. Those who were watching the ceremony could not help but hold their breath and stand in silence.


    『The Han Hussar General is here! 』


    Fei Qian walked out proudly, and behind him were the officials of the Hussar Mansion, including Pang Tong, Xun You, etc., who were arranged according to their shifts. When Fei Qian stood in the middle of the door, the soldiers moved in unison, or struck the ground with spears. Or they slapped their scabbards on their shields and shouted in unison: "Drink!" drink! The hussar is victorious! The hussar is victorious! The hussar is victorious! 』


    ??The sound of shouting and shouting was filled with masculinity and murderous intent, uniform and uniform, and the sound shook the whole place.


    Fei Qian nodded slightly, looked across the square, looked at Xin Xianying and Wang Shu standing at the other end of the square, and said, "Let''s get started." 』


    ??The sound of the golden drum rumbled with a unique rhythm, and in this rhythm, Xin Xianying raised her face, held a roll of wrapped sorghum, and walked forward slowly. Xin Xianying''s move caused the people around him to burst into cheers.


    The cheers rang out from the Hussar General''s Office Square, and spread throughout the city in the blink of an eye. People at the scene felt their eardrums buzzing, and the sound waves got louder and louder, even on the distant streets of Chang''an. Pedestrians and shops in the alley couldn''t help but stop what they were doing, looked up and asked each other what happened.


    Those idle people who like the excitement clapped their thighs hurriedly, and then hurried here. Standing outside the crowd, they either straightened their necks and stood on tiptoes to look, or struggled to squeeze in, and then led There were all kinds of dissatisfaction and curses.


    Suddenly, it was as if the entire city of Chang''an was agitated, watching this tribute, as if it was a festival that everyone could celebrate!


    Xin Xianying was wearing a lady''s skirt and walked slowly step by step to the steps of the Huqi Mansion Yamen. Anyway, she put aside all distracting thoughts at this moment. When she was about thirty steps away from the steps of Feiqian, the drums continued to beat. After three rapid strikes, it stopped.


    ?There was silence all around.


    Xin Xianying bowed in fullness and said in a clear voice, "Mr. Xin, a civilian girl, knows a little about farming and mulberry farming. She occasionally obtained fine seeds, sweet and sweet beams. She sown in spring and harvested in autumn. She got this good grain." This product is not greedy for farm power, does not choose barrenness, is not afraid of drying out, and does not harm the seedlings. It can be planted in ridges in fields, on courtyard walls under houses, and in leisure places. It can make up for spare time and add autumn storage. The daughter of the people dare not hide it privately, so she offers it to the hussar, hoping that the country will prosper forever! 』


    Fei Qian smiled slightly, stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to help Xin Xianying.


    Xin Xianying saluted again, and then placed the bundle of sweet rice bundles wrapped in silk on the lacquer plate held by the waiter.


    ?The waiter raised the lacquer plate high and turned around to where Feiqian was.


    Fei Qian picked it up from the lacquer plate, and then lifted up such a bundle of sorghum, "The great Han Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, and Yongle is yet to come!" 』


    Prosperity and eternal happiness are yet to come! 』


    『Yongle Weiyang! 』


    The cheers suddenly erupted from everywhere. Even the clouds in the sky seemed startled and hurriedly hid to the side, allowing the sunlight to shine down unimpeded, onto the city of Chang''an and onto the Hussars. General Fei Qian''s body fell on the bundle of sorghum in Fei Qian''s hand...


    …(｀)Ψ…


    When Fei Qian met Xin Xianying, Han Xuan and Jin Xuan, who were Liu Biao''s backup means, also met in the south of Jingzhou, south of the river, between the two mountains.


    After Liu Biao was attacked by Jiangdong, he sent an urgent order to Han Xuan and Jin Xuan to send troops to attack the Jiangdong flank. This was a good strategy to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.


    The sunlight is not very bright, shining between the mountains and forests. Even though we have tried very hard, it is still not transparent, and there are still a lot of shadows swaying.


    The camps on both sides are separated by a hilltop. There are several trees slanting on the top of the hill, and the light and shadow are mottled. The two met on this mountain top. Soldiers from both sides stood on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain. Although the two sides were friendly forces on some levels, they still looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.


    The greetings when we first met, after a few words, stopped.


    ??Although Han Xuan and Jin Xuan were smiling on their faces, their hearts were a little heavy. Even the smiles on their faces looked a little weird under the gloomy light and shadow.


    ?Changsha and Wuling are next door neighbors.


    ?Han Xuan was the prefect of Changsha, and Jin Xuan was the prefect of Wuling.


    ?Han Xuan was a native of Changsha and a local aboriginal. Jin Xuan was a naturalized Hu and a member of the Central Committee.


    ?Although the two people were both under Liu Biao, they rarely met each other on weekdays. In addition, they were from different backgrounds, so naturally there was no friendship.


    Two people who don’t usually have much friendship with each other are now sitting together, and it is inevitable that they will feel a little embarrassed. Although distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, what if this neighbor is Lao Wang next door...


    ??Han Xuan brought with him the native Changsha soldiers who followed him. Half of Changsha County is occupied by Jiangdong. The ability to survive under Jiangdong''s oppression can be regarded as being kicked with life on the tip of a knife, so naturally he is not a weak soldier.


    Jin Xuan''s subordinates include many hired barbarians who were originally licking blood with their swords. These people have long disregarded life and death. If battlefield discipline is put aside, these guys can be regarded as fierce and fearless, killing people like hemp.


    Of course, these are the regular soldiers on the battlefield and the main force. As for the auxiliary soldiers, farmers and so on, they are just a make-up.


    The silence between the two continued, and the embarrassment spread.


    ?No one wants to take a stand first, and no one wants to reveal their own underpants first...well, their trump card.


    ??Now we are in a chaotic situation. Although the two people have received the same order, they naturally need to discuss and discuss who will take the lead and which path to take. Although the two are governors of the same place, whether compared with the governors of the Central Plains or compared with the central counties of Jingzhou, Changsha and Wuling are somewhat insignificant. Whether it is military strength or economy, they cannot support too much consumption...


    In addition, the two sides currently fighting are the old Liu Biao on the one hand, and the arrogant Sun Quan on the other. Han Xuan and Jin Xuan, who are mixed in between these two sides, will decide which path they will take. The most difficult moment of decision!


    Although Jin Xuan''s ancestors are Hu people, after so many generations, they have actually become almost Chinese. If you look at his appearance carefully, he still has the look of a Hu person with deep-set eyes. Other than that, the rest is different from ordinary Han people. Not too much, he was staring at Han Xuan at this moment.


    ?In Han Xuan''s head, various thoughts swirled and died, and then an idea vaguely gradually took shape in the middle, but it was so dangerous and bold that he did not dare to think about it deeply. Jiangdong soldiers raided Jingzhou, which means that their focus must be on the north of the Yangtze River, and Changsha and Wuling are both in the south of the Yangtze River. If we say...


    『I don’t know Jin Shijun, what do you think now? ” Han Xuan took a slow breath, broke the silence, and asked.


    ?Jin Xuan smiled, but looked a little enigmatic, "I was about to discuss something with Ambassador Han." 』


    ?Han Xuan spoke slowly again, his tone flat, but his words were not weak at all: "Since Jiangdong invaded the country without any reason, we must not sit back and watch!" 』


    ?Jin Xuan nodded, "This is the right thing to do." 』


    Then the two of them were stuck, their eyes looking at each other in the light and shadow, testing...


    Brother Han, please speak. Jin Xuan said with a gloomy smile, "I''m all ears..."


    "Uh..." Han Xuan waved his hand, "I''m just a few years older than Chi. If something big happens now, it''s better to listen to Ambassador Jin''s opinion first..."


    necessarily


    …


    The two of them were embarrassed again. Finally, Han Xuan clapped his hands and said, "It seems that Jin Shijun also has some ideas. Since it is not convenient to talk about it, how about everyone writing it down and showing it together?" 』


    ?Jin Xuan also felt that procrastinating like this was not an option, so he nodded in agreement.


    Immediately, the two of them took the wooden tablets with pen and ink, wrote and drew by the light of the fire, then put down the pens and held them in their hands, looked at each other, and then slowly turned the pages outward almost at the same time...
