Chapter 2447 Mixed Sand
?Fei Qian slowly took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then put the tea cup back on the table.
?This is one of Feiqian''s proud things. After all, in the Han Dynasty in history, no one would prepare tea like this and drink it like this. This can be said to be one of the things that Fei Qian obviously reversed and changed the habits of the big man.
Is this Fei Qian’s ability?
Yes and no.
?Sit in this position, sometimes it really makes some ordinary people think that they are omnipotent. It''s like becoming the emperor and feeling like he is the emperor. No matter what he says, everyone will be obedient and loyal...
Is it possible?
??Moreover, these achievements, including tea, as well as various inventions and creations, were all done by Fei Qian alone, from beginning to end?
Apparently not.
However, without Feiqian, would these people in Hanzhong and Sichuan cultivate tea in large quantities?
Of course not.
If it were not for these tea farmers, I am afraid that Fei Qian would not be able to do what he is doing now. Not only can he drink it himself, but he can also "export" it. Well, it can be regarded as exporting, selling it to the Shandong nobles, and then supporting it until Fei Qian can truly get through. He opened two foreign trade routes, one in the Western Region and the other in the Snowy Region, and sold tea at gold prices.
In the final analysis, it is still a question of quantity. From quantitative change to qualitative change, when the power of countless people is gathered in one person, and one person can command countless people to accomplish a goal, opening mountains and roads, reclaiming seas and fields, it is almost omnipotent like a god.
So, Fei Qian’s abilities are limited at the moment? Or omnipotent?
This is interesting.
If tea production does not increase, it will not be able to support such consumption. Even though Fei Qian and most of the upper-class nobles have adopted this tea-drinking mode, there are still many people, especially servants, who collect the residues of tea leaves that Fei Qian and others have drunk, or It can be dried and crushed again for use, or added directly to cooking.
Hence, if you want to solve some problems, sometimes just increase production.
For example, in later generations of Hong Kong, it was because the land was controlled by certain people. In order to continue to absorb profits from housing prices, they consciously controlled the release of new land and accurately released housing output, so that they could keep housing prices from falling, so that Many Hong Kong people continue to live in pig cages.
Hong Kong people don’t want spaciousness? Are we unable to build high-rise buildings?
This is an issue that is easily confusing and confusing.
But no matter what, the size of the industry in the Han Dynasty was still too small.
This was formed through Fei Qian''s hard work. If he hadn''t taken special care of it, he would have even established the Dahan Chamber of Commerce with some "tolerance" and formulated the rules of the chamber of commerce. Even if he had to do it, the nobles would not have to do it. Those big merchants who were one step earlier, such as The Cui family, the Mi family, the Zhen family, etc., will all be under subconscious control, either directly participating in the stock control, or directly taking action to eliminate competitors in the bud...
However, if you really calm down and think about it carefully, is the current market of Dahan really saturated to the point where they can only devour each other?
Apparently not.
It can be said that no matter which industry or business it is, the market is still very large and many, and it is worth cultivating. And the cultivation of this market is not only limited to one''s own market, but also to the other party''s, even from afar.
"My lord..." Kan Ze also followed Fei Qian and put down his tea cup, and then asked uncontrollably, "Why don''t you let the inspection department take action?" 』
From Kan Ze''s point of view, it was a little unclear. After all, he formulated a seduction plan and then launched it smoothly. Through this plan, he even locked in a few people who had sneaked into Xuanwu Pond, and also tracked these people in Chang''an City. The people identified a transfer station, and then through continuous monitoring of the transfer station, coupled with the investigation of Chang''an Restaurant, the people behind the scenes were also retrieved...
??It wasn''t until Kan Ze arrived at Fei Qian with the information he had investigated that he wanted to ask the inspection department to arrest the whole city, but Fei Qian stopped him.
?This will naturally make Kan Ze feel a little depressed.
After all, so many efforts have been made before, isn''t it just to track down these spies who have sneaked into Chang''an? Now that we have basically found out the guys who want to attack the new warships, why haven''t they been arrested again?
?Fei Qian smiled slightly, "Derun, of course we still need to arrest them, but... we don''t have to arrest them all..."
『Don’t catch them all? ” Kan Ze was very smart. After pondering for a moment, he said, “My lord, what you mean is... the person of fortune?” "Stealing is one thing, but disposing of stolen goods is another thing entirely."
“Yes, but not...” Fei Qian said, “Derun, please tell me first, why did these spies attack those laborers? 』
"Perhaps there are people they bribed among these laborers, or they are spies who sneaked in. After all, Jingzhou..." Kan Ze raised his head slightly and glanced at Fei Qian. After seeing that Fei Qian had no displeased expression, he He continued, "A large number of refugees came to Jingzhou before..."
?Fei Qian nodded slightly.
Kan Ze’s thinking is very clear.
Many of those laborers are refugees from Jingzhou. It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of these people''s household registrations. It is not surprising that some sand was mixed in, but it cannot be said that for a few sands, the entire bag of rice was used. Lost?
Even with the increasingly strict household registration system in later generations, it is difficult to avoid fugitives and spies. The household registration management regulations of the Han Dynasty are simply full of loopholes. But the problem is that Fei Qian is not a know-it-all. He has no idea how to strengthen household registration and how to target people. There is no good idea to patch these vulnerabilities.
Some methods that were applicable in Fei Qian''s era may not be applicable in the Han Dynasty today.
Fei Qian has long realized that Guosuo is too weird, but he has not thought of any good way to avoid forgery. After all, just like in the feudal dynasties of later generations, in areas far away from the central government, there were many impostors to become officials, study, take other people''s files to receive benefits, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., are endless, and are repeatedly banned, and even The officials responsible for household registration themselves participated in the fraud, so you can imagine how difficult it was to search for true and false household registrations and transfers in the Han Dynasty.
Since it is difficult, you can change the angle.
?This kind of transformation of thinking is Fei Qian’s specialty.
?Office politics...
What Kan Ze said is indeed a big problem. And there is no good way to solve it at all. The only thing that can be done is a stupid way and hard work, but the stupid way takes a very long time and the effect is average.
Among the refugees in Jingzhou, it is indeed a big project to find out how many of them are spies who have sneaked in. On the one hand, there was no nationwide networked household registration system in the Han Dynasty, and on the other hand, Jingzhou has experienced several After the war, even if there were original household registrations in the local area, they are basically nowhere to be found now.
If we really want to do it, we can only recruit some civil servants, bury them in a mountain of files, spend a lot of time, maybe a month or two, maybe even longer, and maybe we can find some problems. Just like what happened in Tongguan before.
But there are also more clever ways. For example, after the refugees are stabilized, villages are gradually established, and the lowest-level joint protection agency is formed, then some means of screening will gradually be available.
But both methods require that these hidden spies are active and have contact with the outside world. Otherwise, as long as these spies work like ordinary farmers and remain in a latent state, basically there is no way to find them.
Under such circumstances, instead of spending a lot of time and energy to track down potential spies among these refugees, and risking possible misjudgments and mis-arrests, it is better to focus on the problems exposed at this stage. link, and can be used in turn...
Fei Qian motioned to the guard beside him. Then the guard understood, turned behind the screen, and took out an object covered by a red cloth.
?Fei Qian slightly raised his chin for Kan Ze to look at.
Kan Ze stepped forward and lifted up a corner of the red cloth. After taking a look, his eyes widened and he suddenly said: "My lord...could it be..."
…Σ(oдo)…
?In the Maoling Mausoleum outside Chang''an City, a scribe was sitting in the hall of a small courtyard, also drinking tea.
Although he was drinking tea, his eyes were a little wandering, and he seemed to be uneasy. After hearing the knock on the courtyard door, his hands shook involuntarily and the tea spilled out. Fortunately, the tea soup was not the kind that had just been boiled. Not so much as to get burned.
Two people who looked like guards in the courtyard arrived at the courtyard gate and interrogated him for a while, then led one person in.
??The scribe in the hall stood up and looked at the new person up and down. Seeing that his robes were neatly dressed and his face was calm, he also exhaled a breath. When he came closer, he asked in a low voice, "Is everything... done?" 』
??The newly arrived middle-aged man looked calm. He bowed to the scribe and said, "Report to Captain Sun, everything is settled..."
“Very good,” the scribe calmed down a bit and asked in a calm tone as best he could, “Isn’t there anyone watching? 』
"No. ” The middle-aged man replied with a kind of sophistication and iron-bloodedness that has been through battle for a long time. Really not? He is certain. But the problem is that he is not Old Man Zhan, he just judges based on his experience on the battlefield. 『As expected of an old soldier of my family! It did not disappoint! " Sun Ping didn''t think too much at all. He believed whatever others said. Hearing this, he wanted to pat the middle-aged man appreciatively. After raising his hand, he felt something was wrong and patted his own knee instead. " If you can succeed this time, I will definitely ask the Lord for credit! 』
?The middle-aged man nodded slightly, his expression remained calm, and did not cause any fluctuations due to Sun Ping''s praise.
?The middle-aged man also has the surname Sun. He was given the surname Sun when he was following Sun Jian when he was young. As for his previous surname, no one knows, not even he himself. He was originally an orphan, and his parents died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The Sun family raised him, so he sold his life to the Sun family.
?This time, he was the one who naturally led the team when gathering men to attack the laborers.
Although he said he was grateful to the Sun family, he did not have a good impression of Sun Ping who came to take command this time. Because this Sun Ping actually asked him to silence himself in order to cut off the clues that might trace him...
?Although it is true that in most cases, the dead will keep secrets, but if you have done this kind of thing too much, who will be willing to be bribed next time? Moreover, since the matter was so big, it seemed that no one had thought about how to think about him and the Sun family veterans who were lurking in Guanzhong Sanfu like him...
??Sun Ping was still immersed in the excitement of the success of the plan, "Now the attention of the eagles and dogs of the Hussars must have been attracted to the epidemic prevention station, so we only need to do something more at Qinglong Temple..."
青龙 Temple? ” The middle-aged man frowned, “Why where? Was it Zhou Zian''s idea? 』
??Sun Ping smiled and nodded, and said: "Nowadays, there are many people in Qinglong Temple, and it is just right for them to do something. As long as they are slightly provoked...haha, there must be some brave people..."
Zhou Quan, Zhou Zian, is from the same clan as Zhou Yu but from a different clan. Zhou Quan has always thought that he was extremely intelligent, but he was not appreciated by the Ming Lord. He was very angry about this. Almost every time after he got drunk, he would be very emotional about this matter, commenting on the princes one by one, and expressing his own opinions on every matter. until he fell asleep due to exhaustion.
? Such behavior and habits are naturally not easy for Sun Quan to accept, or to be appreciated by anyone.
But Zhou Quan still doesn''t quite understand why this is the case. He came to Chang''an this time to achieve some so-called "earth-shaking" achievements to show his ability and prove that the previous princes and officials from all over the country were blind and didn''t. I found myself, a huge pickle, uh, a talented person.
??It’s just that Zhou Quan is good at one thing, he is very talkative. Therefore, after hooking up with Sun Ping, he immediately came up with a lot of "strategies", as if he was a wise man directing the country. Even the main target of new warships was mainly Zhou Quan''s idea. .
After all, some of the original rumors, incitement, and the collection of some humanistic and geographical information about Guanzhong Sanfu, etc., are relatively "invisible", and getting back the technology of a new type of battleship under the Hussars, That is a real achievement!
Sun Ping was naturally moved, so they hit it off immediately.
??For Sun Ping, even though he pretended to be calm on the surface, he was actually very scared and nervous in his heart, otherwise he would not have left Zhou Quan to make decisions after arriving in Chang''an, even though he was the nominal person in charge.
And Zhou Quan is now inside Qinglong Temple...
The more trolls gather, the pheromones emitted will naturally attract more trolls.
"Captain Sun," the middle-aged man said with a slight frown, "These laborers...originally were mostly refugees. Even if they were killed or injured, it would be difficult for someone to track them down...and in Qinglong Temple, most of them were scholars. If..."
??Sun Ping laughed, his eyes showing some natural sense of nobility towards the "martial arts man", "Haha, don''t worry, don''t worry, this is just the power of words, not the power of swords and guns..."
…(*Д*)…
Chinglong Temple.
?Zhou Quan was talking eloquently at a small gathering.
Like most talkative people, he will instinctively seize every opportunity to show himself and express his views on any event, and will never take any responsibility for his remarks.
Because maybe during the speech at the next gathering, he will say something completely opposite to the last time or the last time...
??In Qinglong Temple, there are not many people like Zhou Quan, but they are not very few either. These people even have a special ability. They can easily select a group of people with softer ears and less independent opinions from the crowd, mainly those who are younger, and then use one or two specious arguments to create a After developing an image of a master, he quickly relied on his rich experience to control the direction of speech and became the focus of the party.
For example, Zhou Quan claimed to be the 18th generation descendant of Guiguzi, and then relied on the fact that he had eaten a few more years than the surrounding gentry children and knew more about the geographical conditions of mountains and rivers in various places, so he packaged himself into a heart-warming person. Worrying about the world and traveling around the world, this eminent and compassionate person seems to have not paid much attention to the Qinglong Temple''s great talk. He just came to Qinglong Temple at the right time, instead of hearing the news earlier. , Baba came here.
Zhao Beishan, talking about picking the qi. Together with the scholars, we work day and night. The king is busy with his affairs, and I am worried about my parents..."
Zhou Quan held a long sword in one hand and played the back of the long sword as an accompaniment. He sang loudly, "Under the sky, there is nothing but the king''s soil; on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king''s ministers." Doctors are not all equal, but I am the only one who is good at everything... The four males are in bloom, and the king is next to me in his affairs. I am not old yet, and I am a general now. Traveling with strength, managing all directions..."
Long swords are more like decorations. In order to prevent themselves from accidentally cutting themselves, some noblemen would not choose to use edged swords, or they would intentionally make them blunt.
Naturally, most people in Qinglong Temple are no strangers to Fengya Ode, and among these poems, the poems sung by Zhou Quan are naturally the most suitable for the current status of these scholars, which also attracted a small group of people who gathered around Zhou Quan. The disciples of the gentry clan followed the rhythm one after another, clapping their hands or slapping their legs, and sang together with great momentum.
Maybe Yan Yan is resting, or he is exhausted from serving the country; he or she is lying in bed, or she is tired of walking.
Some don’t know how to call, or they work miserably; some sit late and look up, or they act like kings with martingale palms.
Some are happy and drinking, some are miserable and fearful of blame; 』
After singing it once, someone would bring up one of the lines in particular and sing it separately, calling it "reply" or "duplicate". After doing this three times, everyone was finally happy and looked at each other and laughed, as if they were passing through the song. A deep and flowing song is like finding each other''s soulmate.
?Zhou Quan cleared his throat, coughed, faced everyone''s gaze, and laughed and said, "The doctors are not all equal, but I am the only one who can do it?" The night before, I heard that Lu Ziqian''s son was discussing the meaning of Mohist scriptures. Although it was a little biased, there was some real knowledge in it! When someone travels through thousands of mountains, he often sees people who are suffering from politics. When someone travels through thousands of rivers, he also sees people who are tired of military service. It can be seen that harsh government is more fierce than tigers, and those who are superior must not be unfair! 』
The previous poem was actually a song of complaint by the gentry.
The complaints of these nobles, on the one hand, express their desire for "equality", and the main focus is on the "unequal status of officials". On the other hand, they secretly express that I am a great sage, and everyone in the ruling class is a pig. He failed to promote a great sage like me...
Flicking the sword to complain is probably a necessary skill for the children of the noble clan. After all, those who are already at the top are not thinking about complaining, but how to maintain their status. However, even if the ordinary people at the bottom have complaints, they don''t. The equipment of the long sword cannot do this kind of "beep-" thing.
『Nowadays, the country is in trouble. As scholars, we should share the worries for the country! 』
Tyranny! Tyranny is fiercer than a tiger! 』
Since there is a harsh government, it’s time for us to work hard! 』
『The affairs of the world should be based on the virtuous! Only the virtuous can care for the four directions and publicize it to the world. Is there any reason why those without virtue and conduct should be at the top? 』
Exactly! 』
“The treasure of the country is the supporter of the country, and it must be rich, honored, respected, and praised. Then the country’s good scholars will also be available to the public!” 』
That’s right! 』
“As the saying goes, one should be ranked according to virtue, one should serve as an official, one should be rewarded based on his hard work, and one should divide the salary according to merit. Is there any reason to select scholars based on examination? Wouldn''t it be sad to spend more than ten years studying hard with just one piece of paper? 』
What a pity! How sad! 』
“If talents can be judged by examination papers, why should Yao have promoted Shun, Yu had promoted Yi, Tang had promoted Yi Yin, and King Wen had promoted Dian Yao? It is the kingly way to inspect and judge! But now there is no investigation, and the most talented people are left in the wild! 』
What a pity! What a pity! 』
"The art of riding and examination is not impossible, but the system of examination and examination is a fair way, the way of the country, a legacy from ancient times, and the method of talents. Is there any reason to give up eating because of choking?" Isn''t it because of the small that the big is abandoned? 』
『It hurts so much! It hurts! 』
