Three Kingdoms

Fei Qian sat on the high platform and looked at the merchants below.

All living beings are different. Some people like to stay at home and have no problem eating, drinking and squatting for a hundred years, but some people just can't sit still and have to run out no matter what, otherwise they will feel uncomfortable all over.

In the huge school grounds, merchants, mainly from poor families in the scholarly community, accounted for the majority. Only a small part of the merchants were converted from farmers. This is related to the specific national conditions of the Han Dynasty and is also in line with the current situation. social situation.

The eyes of ordinary farmers and women are relatively... It cannot be said that they are short-sighted. It is just that due to limited living conditions, they are blind to things farther around them, making it difficult to have any long-term plans and comprehensive understanding.

Just like in the era of information explosion in later generations, many people still think that in feudal society, the big landowner class represented by the gentry is nothing. As long as they kill them in one breath, can the children of the gentry be able to withstand swords, guns and swords? Halberd, thousands of troops?

In fact, if you think about it more, you can understand it, but these people are just too lazy to think about it.

I'm just kidding you. Is it Guo Fengxiao who drives the price increases of various supplies one after another? There are many other kinds of commodities that are hoarded and prices are skyrocketing. Who is making a splash among them? Are they ordinary working-class people? Can ordinary people control the cryptocurrency craze?

When faced with these hoarding methods, these demon-making personnel, why did Guo Fengxiao, who clearly had not only "gun barrels" in his hands, but also a large number of law enforcement officers from the judiciary, choose to think like some people? Come and do something, arrest and kill, and that’s it? Anyway, there are only a few general agents in the country. If you come directly to Tutu, will the problem be solved?

What’s even more interesting is that these people who always shout that the barrel of a gun is everything also hate and even denounce officials who can’t solve problems but only solve the people who caused them. They criticize this incompetent management model system. This is a bit What's that...

While expressing his distaste for the simple and crude management model, he also shouted that the barrel of a gun can solve everything...

Fortunately, Fei Qian is not so schizophrenic. He deeply realizes that what he is facing is the human heart. This point is consistent whether it is the Han Dynasty or later generations.

Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Everyone understands this innately. Even the youngest children will shrink their hands when they touch sharp objects and will be afraid of fire. There is no need to teach it or special instruction.

Therefore, it can’t be all carrots, and it can’t all be sticks. It’s the balance that truly tests a person’s wisdom.

Just like the merchants in front of him, Fei Qian believed that during the siege of Wancheng, these merchants whose personal freedom was restricted often cursed Fei Qian openly and secretly, gnashing their teeth to express their hatred of being detained, but now? , but each of them put on a flattering smile. If they had a tail behind them, they would definitely be wagging.

Fei Qian picked up his wine glass and said loudly: "The battle in Jingzhou was not what I wanted, but it has implicated all of you. I am uneasy and have specially invited you to a banquet to relieve your shock... Come, everyone raises your glass and congratulates the great man for thousands of years and the peace of the country." ! 』

Although saying "the great man is safe" sounds like satire based on the current situation, it still represents a certain degree of political correctness on the scene, so everyone naturally had no objections and raised their glasses to drink together.

People in the Han Dynasty did not like strong liquor. Most people thought that drinking strong liquor was only done by mediocre people who pursue sensory stimulation. Most Han people liked rice wine, and the average temperature of rice wine was only about ten to twenty degrees. At the same time, water must be added, otherwise how can we call it wine...

In other words, the wine consumed in the Han Dynasty was actually about the same strength as the beer of later generations. What was pursued was the atmosphere of drinking, which was a gradual and relaxing experience, rather than the excitement of going straight to the topic.

Fei Qian raised his wine glass again and wished the emperor good health. Everyone responded and wished everyone present again. Then everyone wished Fei Qian back, which was considered the beginning of the banquet.

The chimes rang slowly, and the sound of silk and bamboo joined in, making the atmosphere of the entire banquet gradually change from tense at the beginning to peaceful and relaxed. People in the Han Dynasty were almost obsessed with the chime bells. As long as the chime bells rang, it was a first-class banquet. As the saying goes, the sound of golden bamboo means that it is not easy to drink and eat. The spiritual enjoyment is even more important than what to eat.

The relaxed merchants also began to exchange glasses with each other among the drinks and delicacies, chimes and silk bamboos, and the atmosphere gradually became more intense.

These are ordinary businessmen from the Han Dynasty. Most of them are people from around Jingzhou, and some are from Yuzhou. To some extent, they represent some Han people who have the courage to come out...

The bravest of the Han Dynasty, and those praised by later generations, were people like Zhang Qian and Ban Chao.

"If you don't see me, the army of the Han Dynasty will end, and the weak-headed prisoners will ask for long tassels; if you don't see me, the squad will be far away, and the light cavalry of the Jueyu will urge the war..."

During the three to four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, in the history of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, there was such a group. They used their own efforts to assist the Han Dynasty in its external defense wars, and in opening up and expanding territory, they often used the power of one or several people to Then he surrendered a country to the Han Dynasty.

Sometimes Fei Qian wonders, how did such a group of people form and how did they die?

This is not to say that these merchants in the current school grounds can be comparable to Zhang Qian's class, but at least these people are the current group of people who have the courage to go out of their familiar hometown, and then climb mountains and rivers to pursue more interests. At the same time, they also promote the commodity circulation and cultural exchanges.

The great man once said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun, but he never said anything about using the barrel of a gun to govern the world.

Therefore, relying on force alone is not enough. Just like Zhang Qian Banchao, when they surrendered to foreign countries in the Western Regions, they relied more on wisdom, precise control of the situation, and powerful contagion between words and deeds. To appeal, rather than just holding a knife to kill this or that.

If the Han Dynasty went west to lead to foreign countries, then for Fei Qian today, do these merchants who can go east to south also belong to "foreign countries"?

Among these people, will it be possible to cultivate individual people who can be like Zhang Qian and Ban Chao, even if they are not comparable, then one-tenth, one-hundredth? This is a piece of soil. After planting the seeds, see if anything can grow.

Fei Qian nodded to Pei Jun beside him, then raised his glass one last time, drank a drink together, and then stood his ground.

In the past, Fei Qian was still an ordinary lieutenant general, sitting together with merchants to discuss and exchange some baht cents. It was not a big problem, but it is different now. If Fei Qian still talks to these merchants about business issues, When discussing the distribution of theories, on the one hand, people may argue that Fei Qian's move is too short-term, and on the other hand, they can't help but wonder if Fei Qian has no one available...

Pei Jun is the administrator who Fei Qian brought to Wancheng this time, intending to set up a presence in Wancheng for a long time, influence and control, and plant some seeds.

Pei Jun, who was born next to the Pei family in Hedong, has gone through the previous experience and is now more than comfortable facing these Wancheng merchants. After respectfully sending Fei Qian away, he warmed up the atmosphere in the venue again. Because of the hussar's position, everyone was naturally more relaxed. The sound of laughter burst out one after another, making the school grounds very lively.

When he was gradually getting drunk, Pei Jun saw that the atmosphere was good, so he ordered his servants to bring a big dish to each mat...

"What is this?" 』

"It looks like hemp but not hemp..."

Pei Jun opened his mouth, revealing eight big teeth, "This is made of Tiansi!" These are the treasures obtained by the Hussar General who opened up the Western Regions! Clothing made of Tencel is soft and comfortable, absorbs sweat and is breathable. When worn on the body, it feels relaxed and comfortable. It also has the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life..."

Cotton, of course, does not sound as good as "Tencel". As for its efficacy, of course it is haha, just listen to it...

"Come on, let's take a look at this thing again..."

Pei Jun displayed various items one by one, which immediately aroused exclamations of exclamation in the school grounds.

In fact, many things have been introduced in the Western Han Dynasty. However, due to the short-sightedness of the rulers, or the lack of knowledge, many things were only cultivated on a small scale and became the exclusive property of the emperor, and were not widely cultivated. Spread.

Just like cotton, it was just for ornamental purposes at first, and it was just planted for the emperor to see. However, when Fei went to Guanzhong to look for cotton, he discovered that although cotton was introduced in the early Western Han Dynasty, as an ornamental plant, it was already in the war. Extinct...

Pomegranate was originally used as a dye to be painted on the skirts of royal nobles. The so-called pomegranate skirt is also...

Alfalfa is only provided for the emperor's horses to eat, and other ordinary people are not allowed to use it for their own livestock...

Rose apple......

The list goes on and on.

So much so that after Pei Jun took out these things again, most of the merchants in the school grounds had not touched them...

Grain and grass are undoubtedly the red line in the hearts of princes everywhere. It is not as easy to buy as it used to be. But what if what you buy is not grain and grass, but these non-regulated products, such as cotton and alfalfa?

That's right, it is the current "cash crop" of the Han Dynasty.

How many people are there in Shandong?

Lots of people, lots of land.

No one wanted to grow hemp before, but now we can use some to grow cotton. Is that okay? As for pomegranates and alfalfa, they don't require special arable land. Just open a hill and plant them, isn't that just extra income? It’s not illegal, and you can still make some cute little money…

The merchants in the campus didn't know whether they were under the stimulation of alcohol, or were shocked by the items in front of them, or a combination of both. Basically, their breathing gradually became faster, and everyone began to think about it...

"Don't be anxious, everyone, don't be anxious..." Pei Jun smiled and said, "Before this, let me talk about the regulations... There is no rules and no rules... I understand your feelings, but Qiusi has a cloud, this Although such goods are good, they must not hinder farming and mulberry cultivation, so only one company’s goods can be accepted in one county...it must be registered with the Dahan Chamber of Commerce..."

"You don't know the so-called Dahan Chamber of Commerce? Pei Jun smiled even more cheerfully, "Let me tell you in detail..."

……(^._.^)?……

In the long grassland, Yang Fu led a group of Han soldiers, Baishi Qiang, and Qiang Rong people to the Riyue Mountain.

The Baishi Qiang are undoubtedly closer to the Fa Qiang and Qiang Rong people. They will get together, or drive the cattle and sheep forward slowly, or run back and forth to guard the surroundings, while the Han soldiers serve as the central Formation, guards around Yang Fu.

This path was the Tang-Tibetan way that became more popular in the Tang Dynasty, but it does not mean that it could not be followed in the Han Dynasty. At least after Zhang Liao served as the top military general of the entire Tubo region, he strictly followed the plan of the Hussars General. On the one hand, a defense system was deployed along this road into Tubo, and on the other hand, it began to consciously guide the economic development of the Tubo region.

Yang Fu was Zhang Liao's important deputy and an important figure who single-handedly promoted the transformation of the entire Tubo economy.

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, there are too many people in the history books, like meteors, who can only flash by in the history, but it does not mean that these people will be any worse than those who often show their faces. .

Although the entire Tubo area is a plateau, its grassland covers a huge area. When herbivores come to this area, it is like entering paradise. Especially in areas where humans have not set foot yet, the vast grassland as far as the eye can see is enough to make cattle and sheep go crazy with joy.

Of course, due to the characteristics of the region, the grassland in Tubo is actually relatively fragile. If it is severely damaged, its self-repair ability is far inferior to that of the Hetao area and the northern desert area in the Han Dynasty. But now is the Han Dynasty, whether it is from The number of animals and humans is far lower than that of later generations. Therefore, basically speaking, the potential to open up the grassland on the Tubo side to develop animal husbandry is still very huge.

Although the planting industry can feed a larger population than animal husbandry on the same piece of land, in the snowy region, which is almost an uninhabited land, animal husbandry is naturally more fragrant.

It is undoubtedly more difficult to develop animal husbandry just by relying on Zhang Liao, Yang Fu and other Han people. The most appropriate way is to use Baishi Qiang and other Qiang people as leverage, and then leverage the entire Tubo.

After the death of the King of Tubo, Falcon Tisi Bo Ye, the structural system of Tubo, which had just begun to show its scale, suffered a major blow. Some people protected the children of Falcon Ti Si Bo Ye and fled deeper into the snowy area, but for these people, they were determined to The one who persisted in pursuing and killing Zhang Liao was not Zhang Liao, but Qiang commander Yao Kehui.

Because the Tibetan area was so large and it was always on the move, Yao Kehui never completely killed the descendants of the Falcon Tribe tribe...

But these are not what Yang Fu cares about at the moment. After all, no matter from which angle you look at it, Tubo today is no longer what it was back then.

The systematic religious erosion caused the original worship in the Tubo area to retreat step by step and could not be maintained at all. This also caused the survival basis of the original Tubo nobles such as Falcon Tisibo Ye to quickly collapse. Even if it really happened that day, Falcon Tisibo The descendants of Ye made a comeback. Originally, these Tubo people would not easily follow the descendants of Falcon Tisi Boye.

At least now the Tubo people no longer believe so much in the so-called "gods and monkeys" rhetoric put forward by Falcon Tisi Boye and others. Once they have doubts about their previous beliefs, they will naturally have doubts about the sanctity of the previous Tubo king. .

People always have questions about where they come from and where they go. When it comes to answering their own origins, the Han people said that their homes were created by Nuwa, while the Tubo people previously believed that they were created by the gods and monkeys...

The original version was about male gods VS female monkeys. A male god with a strong taste saw the female monkey being lonely, so he took the initiative to relieve the emptiness of the female monkey. As a result, he turned into a male monkey and a witch for some reason. The witch threatened the practicing male monkey to have sex, otherwise the witch would go to the devil king. Well, for the sake of the family, the country, the justice of the nation, and for that and that, the male monkey righteously gave up the practice and had sex with the witch. Snap, saved the world, and gave birth to the Tubo people.

Doesn’t it sound unreliable?

That's right.

The more civilization develops, the difference between humans and beasts will increase, and the worship of beasts will also rapidly decline with the development of civilization. Under the cultural erosion brought by the Han people, the primitive worship of the Tubo people, and so on The legends of gods and spirits have completely declined under the systematic religious practice system.

The God of the Five Directions has become the main belief in Tibet today. Now, if you can see some five-color stones placed in front of, behind, and inside the tent, they are basically believers of the God of the Five Directions.

There is no need for special statues or additional offerings. You only need to search around after settling down with your family. If you find stones of five colors, you can perform religious ceremonies. It is very convenient.

If you can't get all five colors together, just one color will do.

In areas with material poverty, spiritual satisfaction is very important.

This is the case for Tubo. After getting the gods of the five directions to fill the religious vacancies, coupled with the accidental events of some divine envoys, the naturalization of the entire Tubo was carried out rapidly, which also allowed Yang Fu, Ma Heng and others to promote the snow area. Great progress has been made in the development of animal husbandry. After all, large-scale cooperative breeding and sporadic grazing by ordinary Tubo people are completely different concepts.

"Colonel Captain!" Ahead is Riyue Mountain! 』

At that moment, Yang Fu and others brought 8,000 sheep, 3,000 horses, some donkeys and yaks, as well as some dried meat, tanned skins, etc., and these things were all made of Chang'an Some common items from the Sanfu area were replaced.

This is the first batch. After a while, there will be a larger herd of cattle and sheep brought back by Zhang Liao and others...

With so many cattle and sheep being transported, fodder along the way was naturally indispensable. On the journey from Riyue Mountain to Tianshui, someone had already made sufficient preparations. This person was Jia Xu, the governor of Liangzhou.

On the basis of the military village of Riyue Mountain, Jia Xu filled in the refugees and reclaimed farmland. If you stand on the peak of Riyue Mountain and look down at this moment, you will see that to the east is the planned agricultural area with complete water conservancy. , with fertile fields, a Jiangnan scenery, and on the west side of the mountain, there are endless pastures and grasslands, vast grasslands, herds of cattle and sheep, another scene outside the Great Wall.

The sun, moon, yin and yang, separated by a mountain, make people feel excited and marvel at the extraordinary sight from a distance.

From a distance, he saw the three-color flag surging, and Jia Xu led his troops to greet them. Yang Fu, while instructing his men to make handover arrangements with Jia Xu's men, rushed forward and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time. It makes you even more charming! 』

"Yishan, stay safe!" Jia Xu also smiled and looked up and down, "Yishan has been tempered by wind and snow, just like a sword. When integrity is put to great use, it is wonderful!" 』

Yang Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty..."

"I'm not hiding anything from Yishan," Jia Xu smiled on his face, but there was something sharp in his eyebrows like a sharp blade. "There is a poem that says, "A three-year-old girl is born." Now that the term has expired, naturally Become "Whose Eternal Name"!"

Although Yang Fu had already made some guesses in his mind, he was still a little surprised when he heard Jia Xu express it unabashedly, "So...this time...it's a big deal..."

Jia Xu laughed heartily, stretched out his hand and pointed at the Riyue Mountain in front of him, "How could the hussar's pen be so small?" If you turn to the left, you will see the great Han Dynasty; if you turn to the right, you will see the world! And this beginning starts from the Mountain of the Sun and the Moon! 』
