Three Kingdoms

In view of the special circumstances of Sichuan and Shu, it has become a relatively lazy and appropriate way for Shu people to govern Shu. In the Han Dynasty, if a region wanted to develop and stabilize, it still needed local people. If Fei Qian, the general of the Western Expedition, could control the general direction, he would be very good. It is impossible to do everything personally. After all, like Brother Zhu, he worked hard. It can only control one place. Once the distance is far away, the control power will inevitably weaken.

"Shu people are here, and there are many officials. They come down from the county guard. Within a county, most of the natives are natives, and the officials and the people are all from the countryside. Therefore, it is difficult to favor the public and easy to clique. If you accept the lack of orders, return them. The imperial court has set limits, and there are also worries about unfulfilled government orders and lack of communication between Sichuan and the countryside..." Fei Qian said slowly, "...we want to enter Sichuan and Shu, but we can't do without such people..."

The people from Sichuan and Shu followed Huang Quan and left, leaving only his own people under Zheng Xi. Fei Qian saw that Xu Huang and Zhang Liao looked thoughtful, so he gave a rough explanation.

In the land of Sichuan and Shu, there is a very interesting phenomenon. It is very common in the land of Sichuan and Shu that people who call themselves Lao Tzu will take advantage of them regardless of whether they are the first to come up. In many other places, people often greet each other's ancestors, or the maternal line, and those who end up calling me Laozi may also be Sichuan and Shu.

Since ancient times, officials in the Central Plains have not liked to go to Sichuan and Shu. Because under the ancient transportation conditions, Sichuan and Shu were really too far away. Sichuan and Shu are a typical basin, surrounded by high mountains. It is connected with the Central Plains, but not closely. Even if some people come and go, they are mostly officials, businessmen and so on. As for ordinary people, most of them have been together for a lifetime, or several lifetimes. It is in Sichuan and Sichuan and has never left this basin.

The richness of Sichuan and Shu also refers to the area around Brazil and Chengdu. For example, in northern Sichuan, southern Sichuan, and even Badong, many places are still slash-and-burn farming, with high mountains and deep forests, and an average economy. However, for areas with frequent wars, Sichuan and Shu are considered Okay.

It can be said that Sichuan and Shu are like a miniature version of China.

China, isn't it like a big basin? Except for a few people who have gone out, most people have been here for generations and have never thought about what the outside world is like?

Similarly, the people of Sichuan and Sichuan, like ordinary people in China, show two sides of character, even more typical. On the one hand, they are timid, gentle, fearful, and swallow their anger. For a single family, if their ears are scratched, They just pretended that no one could see them, and even if they saw them, they wouldn’t be upset, so they laughed at themselves and made a fool of themselves. On the other hand, they acted boldly. If a group of people gathered in one place, frightened each other, and spread rumors, it would be easy for them to Believe it as truth, and then regard it as chaos...

It's messy and easy to clean up, unlike Xiqiang, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive but can't be cleaned up.

However, even if it is easy to quell the chaos, it is still very reluctant for the Central Plains people, or Shandong people, to go to Sichuan and Sichuan to serve as officials. As a result, when officials from other places come to Sichuan and Shu, they either regard Sichuan and Shu as a mineral land and scratch the ground, or they regard it as a tiger and regard it as a matter of luck to leave alive.

Under such premise, it is impossible for Fei Qian to have any great supernatural powers, to violate any laws of nature, and to fall from the sky to attract a large group of so-called loyal people. They can work hard and dedicate their lives for the blue sky and white sun flag... ahem, the three-color flag. or something, so we can only follow the old routine and use Shu people to govern Shu land.

"My lord, I was born in Bingbei. When I was young, I often lived in the official position for a short time. I didn't know the customs. I had no time to be picky and left..." Zhang Liao said from the side. To overcome it would be to lose authority..."

Fei Qian nodded and said: "Therefore, if you want to change this appearance, start with this thing..."

Fei Qian can naturally understand Zhang Liao's meaning. If Shu people are used to govern Shu, it will easily breed all kinds of corruption, alliances between cliques, and the neglect of chief officials. In addition, whether the official appointment is for two years or three years, there will be no transportation. In the convenient Han Dynasty, it is very possible that they only became familiar with the conditions in some areas near the government office, and then when their term was over, they turned around and left, and a new chief official came again, and the cycle started over and over again.

In front of Fei Qian, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, there are also miniature sculpture models of various farm tools.

Xu Huang looked at it and seemed to have some insights.

Fei Qian smiled and said: "In life, food and clothing are the first priority. If you don't have food and clothing, you will have no time to take care of other things. Nowadays, in the land of Sichuan and Shu, there are many people who cultivate mountains and hunt with swords, and people and animals live together... How can such people live together? Things are laws, so what region is a country? Therefore, when entering Sichuan, you need to enter into your heart. To take Shu first, take people. If you don’t have to give up, how can you get..."

"My lord, this plan is brilliant!" Xu Huang suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh, "In the past, when government was declared, it was mostly through prose. However, the people of Sichuan and Shu were so congested that they did not know how to write or write, and they did not know the laws of the court, so they could not understand... My lord, please Such wonderful actions will increase his harvest and win his heart, making him seek enlightenment under his lord..."

Fei Qian nodded slightly, acknowledging what Xu Huang said, and then looked at Zhang Liao. When he saw Zhang Liao thoughtfully nodding in agreement, he smiled slightly and asked the attendants on the side to guard him and take the molds of farm tools. Take down.

The reason why Fei Qian made a special explanation to Xu Huang and Zhang Liao is that in the next period of time, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao will fight as important generals entering Sichuan. Under the premise of uncertainty about the development of the battle situation, they can generally It is also a very important step to unify the thoughts before the war to know Fiji's measures on people's livelihood and government affairs, so that no contradictions and conflicts will occur.

Otherwise, Xu Shu would work hard to improve people's livelihood and win people's support from behind, and then Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, who were fighting on the front line, would recruit men to kill the natives for a certain tactical goal...

Occupying an area, then stabilizing the area, and gradually moving forward, it doesn’t have to be very fast, but it must develop steadily, otherwise there will be ups and downs. Sichuan and Shu are so mountainous and the roads are difficult to travel, it is really a very difficult task. Troubling questions.

Standing in front of the map that the guards had revisited, Fei Qian drew a line from Hanchang to Guanghan, began to arrange military affairs, and said: "Now only Hanchang to Guanghan is in our hands, and the rest of the Brazilian counties are all outside. ...I don't want to take any of my ideas..."

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

No fight?

Fei Qian nodded and confirmed again, not to hit, but to leave everything alone.

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang looked at each other a little bit. If they don't fight, are they going to take Chengdu directly?

However, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's ideas came to nothing, and they heard Fei Qian continue to say: "We will stay in these four cities, Yuan Zhiwen grew up in Guanghan, a certain one is in Langzhong, Gongming Wenyuan and you two are going to Nanchong..."

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao looked at each other, and then many thoughts came to mind. Arrangements were made for three of the four cities, and there was Hanchang. Who would guard it? In addition, is Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, satisfied with these four cities? Don't want to fight anymore? Or are there any other arrangements?

…………………………

Regarding the arrangement of Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, he was also constantly confused and thinking, not only Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, but also Zhao Wei and Lei Tong.

"Now it seems that I have really underestimated everyone in the world..."

Zhao Wei sighed and put down the wine prince.

After attending the banquet hosted by Huang Quan, many representatives of large families in Sichuan and Sichuan were impatient to pass on the latest news or to discuss with family members, so they had no intention of coming back to praise him. The stinky feet of Zhao Wei and Lei Tong dispersed one after another, leaving only Zhao Wei and Lei Tong facing each other, eye to eye.

I don’t know whether it was because they had eaten and drank enough at the Zhengxi Banquet, or for some other reason. Although Zhao Wei and Lei Tong found a new place and served some more food, neither of them had anything. Appetite, apart from the two drinking each other's two drinks at the beginning, they never used their chopsticks again.

When the chill of the night sweeps over, it's like an endless feeling of loneliness, cold and slippery, penetrating from the skin into the mind. There were people in the hall, in the corridor, and even on the other side of the hall. However, Zhao Wei felt that he was still alone, like a drowning person surrounded by water. He wanted to call for help, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was drowned out. .

Is this Sichuan or that Sichuan?

The fall of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong in the north might have been the result of a mixture of many factors. Zhao Wei had thought about it a little bit, but he didn't think deeply about it. After all, he thought it was still relatively far away. But now that he thinks about it, all this information has been gathered together. Here, Zhao Wei suddenly discovered that Zhang Lu was not unjustly defeated.

Just like Liu Zhang now.

"We...did something...I don't know if it was right or wrong..." After a long time, Zhao Wei continued slowly. He was holding the wine cup in his hand and seemed to want to lift it up to drink. The mailbox was Let it go, neither go up nor go down.

Lei Tong also nodded silently, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "This...who can guarantee that it is right or wrong? But it seems that in our situation, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it is not up to us... "

"Zheng Xi is indeed not an ordinary man..." Zhao Wei shook his head and said, "Now, look at Pang Ziren, Dong Youzai and others, as well as Liu Xuande from Jingzhou, who can save the defeat? This one. How can we fight this war? Haha, haha... This is already over..."

Lei Tong's eyes rolled briefly, and a faint look of arrogance flashed past, "That's not true, General Zhengxi... Well, I heard that the people from Jingzhou are also very brave, and Pang Gong Pang Ziren has a heavy army... How can the winner be determined in such a short time?"

"Winning or losing?" Zhao Wei laughed and glanced at Lei Tong. He didn't want to answer at first, but he thought it would be better to explain it to Lei Tong. After all, there was only one mouse on the little prince's boat. If there was even this mouse, Now that the mice are gone, who can I talk to? "Winning or losing is no longer important... The land of Sichuan and Sichuan has always been closed off. The more closed it is, the more immediate interests are valued. But now... not to mention the big houses in the surrounding area, even a certain person is very excited after hearing this... You said , can this battle continue? On the surface, we are fighting soldiers, swords and guns, but in fact, we are fighting money, food and grass!"

As he spoke, Zhao Wei couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, so he raised the wine cup and drank it in one gulp, letting out a long breath of alcohol...

Originally, Zhao Wei thought that when General Zhengxi marched south to Sichuan, Zhao Wei still had a lot of room to maneuver, and he might even be able to make profits on both sides.

Of course, this kind of confidence also comes from Zhao Wei's original political career. Didn't he originally profit from both sides of Dongzhou and Sichuan? He even did not hesitate to stir up civil strife for his own personal purposes, use the pretext of suppressing rebellion, and then establish a separate branch? ?

Which fat man weighing 200 pounds was not a pink young lady back then?

Zhao Wei naturally had a time when he could lead a party and achieve great success. And before these dreams were fully developed, the branches and leaves were pulled out, and the roots were eradicated. How could the sadness in his heart be understood by Lei Tong, a guy who thought he was a great leader because he was a leader?

The original intention of surrendering to Zhengxi was to avoid his attack first and wait to see how the situation turned out on both sides. Of course, he also wanted to preserve his property and power in Brazil County. At the same time, if Zhengxi wanted to borrow his power, he would have to bargain. After a while, you can exchange for more benefits.

Now, all these plans have come to nothing!

General Zhengxi easily broke through the psychological defenses of the big households in Sichuan and Sichuan. Now Zhao Wei knew without thinking that after dawn tomorrow, General Zhengxi brought news about the most advanced grain production tools and secret methods to increase production in Guanzhong, and he would quickly spread the news to the surrounding areas. It spreads, and among these families that have survived in Sichuan and Sichuan for decades, even hundreds, hundreds of years, who will not be moved?

What's more, these tools and methods have all been used in Guanzhong and have achieved results!

Zhao Wei could even imagine that when such news reached around Chengdu, the eyes of the wealthy landlords in Chengdu would jump out of their heads, and they might also look at Liu Zhang's face and pretend to say that they wanted to fight with Liu Zhang. Zhengxi fights to the death, but in fact if the tricolor flag is really waved in front of him, most of them will immediately surrender with a smile, saying that it is not that we will not fight, but that we really can't defeat him, and then immediately wish to take General Zhengxi's men with him. The agricultural bachelor went straight to his own fields...

What commendable benefits did Liu Yan's entry into Sichuan bring to Sichuan and Shu?

not at all.

After Liu Zhang inherited the position, did he bring any earth-shaking changes to Sichuan and Shu?

nor.

However, when General Zhengxi came, he made it clear that he wanted food and grass from Sichuan and Shu. He did not hurriedly occupy land like Liu Yan and Liu Zhang. He just expressed that he needed food and grass. In the future, food and grass from Sichuan and Shu would be needed. Used to supply Guanzhong...

No extra money or food?

Easy to handle! General Zhengxi brought new farming tools and the most advanced grain production secrets, which can increase the yield per mu of Sichuan and Shu, or even double the yield! This allows the land of Sichuan and Sichuan to easily obtain more grain and grass, which can not only meet their own needs, but also have excess money and grain that can be sold.

Anyway, food and grass cannot be stored for a long time. If there is more, the one with the highest price will naturally get it.

General Zhengxi collected and purchased a large number of items, and not only did he buy, General Zhengxi also brought some items that were originally rare in Sichuan and Sichuan, such as gold-painted fans, silver-lined clothes, glazed ware, Xiliang horses, and even Like Sanhua wine, meat buns, all kinds of new dishes...

Zhao Wei stared blankly at the horizon. The darkest night had passed, and the originally thick ink-like sky gradually began to turn a little gray.

"The sky is going to change..."
