Three Kingdoms

Fei Qian sometimes feels very lonely, because he can only think about many things by himself. Even friends and subordinates like Pang Tong sometimes do not fully understand some of Fei Qian's ideas and thinking.

The Han Dynasty can be said to be a critical period for the formation and consolidation of the entire Chinese feudal society. During this period, the landlord class also formed its initial and final typical state.

Fei Qian thought about it carefully and found that the entire feudal landlord class was not a single type, but could be roughly divided into five categories. One was the old aristocratic landlords, and then there were the bureaucratic big landlords. These two categories were combined with power. But the positions are slightly different and not exactly the same.

The other three are relatively smaller, namely powerful landlords, industrial and commercial landlords, and small and medium-sized landlords. These three types overlap with each other and may even transform into each other. They are also more likely to be embezzled by larger landlords or be embezzled by larger landlords. Defeated by ordinary force...

These five types of landlords all have the same unified characteristics of annexing land and acquiring the population, but their external manifestations are different, and naturally they need to use different methods to deal with them.

The adjustment of feudal state policies affected the development of the landlord class, and the landlord class in turn affected the development and changes of the feudal state. At the beginning of the feudal unified country of the Han Dynasty, it was established by a group of small landowners who opposed the old aristocratic landlords. Then many of these people became new big landowners and formed the new aristocracy with Liu Bang's sons. Landowners, and then as time went by, these people became the targets of being knocked down and overthrown.

Fei Qian smiled, all this was like reincarnation.

It cannot be said that these landlords have made no contribution to the whole of China's entry into the city, but with the emergence of the word "monopoly", there are only disadvantages.

The foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty was established by the powerful landowners, industrial and commercial landowners, and small and medium-sized landowners in Jizhou and Yuzhou. These landowners were originally in a non-ruling position and were the targets of suppression.

During Wang Mang's new dynasty, a series of reforms were carried out, and these reforms greatly damaged the interests of the landlords, arousing strong resistance from the landlord class, and ultimately led to the collapse of the new dynasty.

Therefore, the founders of the Eastern Han Dynasty were powerful landlords. Therefore, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the interests of powerful landlords were greatly expanded. At the same time, the Eastern Han Dynasty's control over local areas was actually worse than that of the Western Han Dynasty. Today, powerful landlords everywhere Landowners cooperated with local governments, forming separate feudal regimes.

Fei Qian himself is also one of them.

Fei Qian now represents the gathering of local powerful Yongbin small landowners who were rejected and abandoned by the Shandong gentry, plus the Shilin Group who was exiled to the frontier, and then Fei Qian joined and supported the military landlord class...

Comrade Wang Mang was too reckless. It was obviously unrealistic to eliminate all private ownership systems in the Han Dynasty. Therefore, breaking away from the landlord class and becoming landlords was an impossible task in the feudal dynasty. We could only follow the methods of great men and win over a group of people. , attack a group and eliminate a group.

Among all categories of landowners, the ones that most need to be eliminated are the powerful landowners.

This is the conclusion Fei Qian finally reached after careful consideration.

At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Liu Xiu came to power with the support of powerful landlords, he also realized the dangers of powerful landlords, so after he unified the country, he began to "conquer the fields."

The so-called "Du Tian" is a thorough verification and cleanup of land and household registrations across the country. This is very useful for the country to understand the population distribution and tax management in various places. However, it has been resisted by powerful landowners because Du Tian is not only a measure of land. The land of ordinary people must be measured, and the land of powerful landlords must be measured. Landowners who own large areas of land are naturally unwilling to measure their fields and declare their population truthfully. Especially in the imperial countryside, the officials responsible for land management are themselves powerful landlords, and How could a referee and an athlete be willing to commit suicide?

Therefore, it cannot be promoted at all in Yuzhou, and there are even behaviors that deliberately expand the policy and arouse public outrage. When measuring the land of ordinary people, it is not only the measurement of the land, but also the calculation of "shares". The farmer's house and the various surfaces in front and behind the house are included, and then the farmers are asked to calculate the "shares" based on this The data collected is subject to tax. Naturally, it aroused the anger of the people everywhere, and then the officials pretended that it was "bad government" and could not implement it.

Such behavior naturally made Liu Xiu extremely angry, and he immediately sent people to severely punish these officials who had deceived their superiors. Except Liu Long, the governor of Nanjun, who was spared death because he was the founding hero of the country, and was deposed as a commoner, the rest, including the generals, A total of more than ten people, including Situ, were all executed for their crimes.

According to some people's ideas, can killing these people solve the problem?

Then there was a co-acting rebellion. As soon as the Central Forbidden Army arrived, the "rebels" immediately dispersed. As soon as the Forbidden Army left, the "rebels" immediately appeared again...

Faced with this situation, Liu Xiu had no choice but to compromise in the end, and the matter of "doing land" was dropped.

Perhaps Liu Xiu felt that he could leave such problems to his descendants, just like Liu Che solved the problems left by Liu Bang, but it is obvious that there are no talented descendants after Liu Xiu, and even more and more weak……

Therefore, what Fei Qian needs to focus on restricting are these powerful landowners, and now is the best time.

The entire powerful landowners in Longyou Pass have been defeated by others or self-destructed due to the previous Western Qiang Rebellion and the subsequent Dong Zhuo invasion. A large-scale alliance of powerful landlords like Dong Zhuo's has been shattered and declined over and over again, and it is difficult to take shape.

Therefore, after the deaths of Dong Zhuo, Li Guo, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others in Longyou, Guanzhong, basically all the large and powerful landowners were gone, and what was left were some insignificant cats and dogs.

But Shandong is different. If nothing else, how much territory does the Xun family have in Yingchuan? How much does the Cao family occupy in Qiao County? Although the dispute between Cao Cao and Yuan Yuan in the past two years has had some impact on the local powerful, it has not been as damaging as Guanzhong Longyou.

If Fei Qian wants to implement his own strategy, he will definitely encounter great obstacles in Shandong. It may not be like what Liu Xiu did back then. Even if he obeys the rule in name, once the fundamental interests are touched, the officials and local governments will act together. Reproduce the scene of Liu Xiu's joining the field.

"Report!" ” A soldier came in a hurry and reported loudly, “General Taishi is reporting urgently! 』

Fei Qian took the military report, glanced at it a few times, smiled, and said to Xu Huang, who came after hearing the news: "Guo Fengxiao has arrived in Xu County... so... let's go..."

So now, let's let Guo Fengxiao take Fei Qian's place to complete the task of swaying Shandong...

If Fei Qian and others don't leave, how can they make the people in Shandong feel at ease?

If these people in Shandong can't rest assured, how could they reveal their flaws?

……╰（‵□′）╯……

Winter is coming.

Guo Jia rode on the canopy car, and the group of people moved forward slowly. Pedestrians on both sides of the street stopped when they saw it. Some bowed their hands to Guo Jia, while others looked down upon him with cold eyes.

There are different opinions on Guo Jia's return, with mixed praise and criticism.

Guo Jia raised his head and looked up. The cold wind swept in from the north, blowing the flags around Cao Cao's government office and roaring fiercely, as if a pair of invisible hands were tearing apart, trying to destroy the logo that represented the Cao family.

Within the window lintels of street storefronts and in the street corners and alleys, there are faint sounds of chirping.

"You still have the nerve to come back...tsk tsk..."

"Isn't that right? I'm sure I'll hook up with Qiusi..."

"Look, I've actually gained weight from eating!" Look! Isn’t it clear evidence? ! 』

"You have simply lost the face of the people of Yingchuan!" 』

"Since you have been captured, you should prove your ambition by dying, so that you can be a hero!" Now, if you are just returning home, you are boarding a fancy car and swaggering through the city. It is simply a declining trend in the world..."

"What Brother Shi said is so true, so true..."

"Now that the imperial court has collapsed, the scholars are cowardly, and the people are in dire straits, the three princes cannot escape the blame!" well! It's a pity that although we are full of passion, we can't use it! Sad, deplorable! 』

"Why not?" ! Now, with such a flattering villain in power, how can you and I be considered gentlemen? 』

"The craftsmanship of fixing the customs of the times is clever, and the mistakes can be corrected by following the rules." Carry the rope and ink on your back to chase the song, and compete with the Zhou Dynasty to save it. The depressed city is full of poverty, and I am alone and impoverished at this time...what can I do, what can I do! 』

Words in the wind are like swords.

Although it wouldn't kill someone immediately, the knife cut into the heart, leaving bloody flesh and blood, and it was too horrible to look at. Killing men for losing their integrity, killing women for losing their virginity, killing old people for not loving the young, killing young people for not respecting the old. Anyway, they are the ones who say it, and they don’t have to take any responsibility. Naturally, they can be as vicious and cruel as they are. It's so cruel. Even if it is proven wrong afterwards, you can still openly say that you are upholding justice and acting out of your feelings. So why is it wrong?

The sound of cars on the bluestone board was loud.

Guo Jia looked around and felt that among the familiarity, there seemed to be a bit of unfamiliarity.

When I was in Xu County, I didn't feel much about it, but now after taking a trip to Guanzhong, I suddenly felt the difference.

As for a simple right of way, in Chang'an, Guanzhong, there are patrols patrolling day and night, so the ground is clean and the streets are smooth. Even the children of the noble family sometimes need to give ordinary people under the inspection schedule. The people gave way, making the roads and everything seem to be full of order. In Xu County, it was the government officials who crushed people to death. Just like Guo Jia's group of people and horses moving forward, all the pedestrians and vehicles around them The horses must give way and then crowd the streets and alleys...

Is this good or bad?

Guo Jia doesn't know, maybe he doesn't want to know.

Guo Jia just knew that this time Cao Cao allowed him to ride through the city in such a grand manner in order to gain the effect of horse bones. And he is that horse bone worth thousands of gold.

So, should Guo Jia be happy now, or should he feel honored?

The General's Mansion was right in front of him, and Dian Wei came forward to greet him.

Guo Jia got out of the car and slowly walked into the General's Mansion under the protection of Dian Wei...

Cao Cao is sitting at the top, with Xiahou Dun on his left. In order to attend this important meeting, Xiahou Dun rushed back from Xiangyang, and the responsibility for the defense of Jingzhou was handed over to Cao Ren.

Sitting on Cao Cao's right side was Zhao Rong. Zhao Rong is a veteran. Zhao Rong, also known as Zhichang, was a native of Hanyang County, Liangzhou. At that time, he was one of the "Eight Colonels of Xiyuan" together with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and served as one of the "Assisting Military Colonels". Therefore, appearing here naturally represents the old-school generals under Cao Cao.

Further down, there are pro-Cao factions like Xun You and Man Chong, as well as royal descendants of the Liu family like Liu Ye and Liu Ruo, as well as ordinary officials and generals like Lu Zhao and Wang Yan, and even Zang Ba and the like. The role of local princes under Cao Cao's rule.

It can be said that Cao Cao's meeting had a very wide scope and many factions. It had only one purpose, which was to take this opportunity to stabilize the factions and at the same time boost the morale of the military.

In the repeated battles between Cao Cao and Fei Qian, Cao Cao did not receive the ideal results, and was even passive in many cases. Although Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others tried their best to cover up the good news and deliberately selectively reported good news but not reported it. Worry, but the Shandong nobles also have their own spies, and sometimes Cao Cao and others can hide it even if they want to.

Therefore, in the entire area ruled by Cao Cao, doubts about Cao Cao have become more and more intense. This situation is of course very unfavorable to Cao Cao's rule. In order to change this situation, Cao Cao specially convened such a meeting to let " Guo Jia, who is well versed in the reality of the Qiusi, spoke as a representative and elaborated on the argument.

Guo Jia paid homage to Cao Cao and greeted everyone, and then stood in the hall. Facing the eyes of everyone who looked at him with scrutiny, concern, doubt or expectation, he raised his head and spoke slowly.

"The toes of the Lin are vibrating the young master, and the Lin is sighing."

Lin Zhiding, Zhenzhen Gong's surname, and Lin Xi.

The horn of lin vibrates the clan, and the lin comes! 』

"Everyone knows the beauty of the Lin, but..." Guo Jia looked around and said, "While hunting in the wilds in the west, the chariot of the Shusun family, the merchant, obtained the Lin. He thought it was unknown and gave it to the Yu people. Zhongni looked at it and said, "Lin Ye." Then he took it..."

"The Lin is not Lin, but is it the Lin?" This is the obstacle to his eyesight! When Jia Li returned to Xijing, he had many feelings. Looking at the people in Shandong today, they are like people who don't know Lin. They think it is unknown and abandon it to Yu. Isn't it strange? All things in the world have their own lengths and lengths, just like toes. How can they be equal? Is it possible that there are stupid people who seek long-term benefits from shortcomings? 』

Guo Jia took the lead at the beginning. After all, most people present believed that he represented the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, while Qiusi Feiqian was an evil person. Therefore, Guo Jia's talk about the beauty of the unicorn immediately gained unanimous approval.

Guo Jia took advantage of the situation and entered the topic, "Jia Tie thought that the Hussars had six defeats and Ming Gong had six victories. Although the Hussars are strong now, they can't do anything in the end!" 』

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked his beard, "Please tell me Fengxiao!" 』

Guo Jia cupped his hands, then took a breath, looked at the people around him, and said, "Ming Gong hoped to have millions of descendants from Jiyu, but Qi Qi Yong and the people were scarce. There are good and bad people in the land acquisition, so this is the winner!" 』

"The Duke of Ming Dynasty supported the emperor in Xu, and the hussars issued false edicts to Yong. There was a distinction between superiors and inferiors. This is the victory of justice!" 』

"The Duke of Ming Dynasty governs the government with clear knowledge and system, but the hussar has urgent orders and cunning laws are mixed up, leaving the people at a loss as to what to do. This is the victory of governance!" 』

"These three victors are just like Liu Xiang. Even though Western Chu's troops are victorious, if one loses, it will be like a mountain falling!" What's more, what Ming Gong gained is far better than the hussar, but it's a pity that mediocre people don't know it, just like they don't know Lin, they don't keep it, which only increases the popularity of others! 』

Guo Jia slowly looked at everyone, then he made eye contact with Cao Cao, turned away again, and continued, "Under the hussar, there are more Lushan. Count them with your fingers. It's just Pang Huangzhi." In this generation, it is difficult for someone with a foreign surname to ascend to a high position! However, Ming Gong is here to recruit talents from a wide range of places, hoping to include all the young people from Hebei, Henan, and Xu. There is no limit, and good talents can be put to use! This is what people can win! 』

The "three wins" mentioned by Guo Jia before were basically more biased towards the "virtual" aspect. Now that he talks about "human victory", it really points to some specific issues.

In terms of the number of noble sons, Cao Cao did have an absolute advantage.

Everyone knows this and recognizes it.

In the past two hundred years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of gentry children were indeed cultivated in the Jizhou and Yuzhou areas. In addition, the number was several times greater than that of Chang'an Sanfu and Beilongyou. So after hearing what Guo Jia said, they all nodded and smiled.

Guo Jia paused for a moment, and then continued, "Although the hussars are strong, they are lacking. The vast territory requires defense. Hu and Han people live together, and it is easy to cause chaos. If you are not careful, it will be a matter of Beigong." Reappearance, the Xiqiang Rebellion happens again! On the contrary, Ming Gong is kind and can't bear to be impoverished. Even if he fails occasionally, it is difficult to shake the foundation. Therefore, when he is in chaos, he can march in with his army and seize it directly at the pass! This is a special victory! 』

"The Qiaoqi attaches great importance to commerce and trade. They carry goods from east to west and travel north and south. Although they are profitable for a while, they sacrifice their roots for the sake of the end. They attach great importance to farming and mulberry trees instead of pursuing beauty, so as to encourage reclamation and re-cultivation of wasteland. After a little time, the warehouses will be full, the food and grass will be full, and you can attack and defend without any worries. This is the victory! 』

"Although the Hussar is strong now, it will not last long. What happened when the Dong thieves were rampant in Heluo?" Even if Ming Gong has a small setback, it has not damaged his foundation. He just needs to wait for a while, accumulate thick and thin, and he will eventually win! Guo Jia said loudly, looking around, "Everyone, do you think this is true?" 』

Cao Cao laughed loudly, put his palms together and said, "With these words of filial piety, my worries are gone!" ” Then he asked Guo Jia to take his seat with a smile, and then looked at the other people, “Everyone, if you have any worries, you might as well speak up! 』

Under such circumstances, of course no one is stupid enough to jump out and play against Cao Cao. Moreover, what Guo Jia said is not completely unreasonable. It also alleviates these people's anxiety about the current situation to a certain extent. They feel that Boss Cao still has certain advantages here, and it is not that he has no chance to fight, so everyone looked around and praised Guo Jia for his far-sighted vision and insight. Then they praised Cao Cao and said how confident they were to follow Cao Cao. words...

Cao Cao smiled and nodded. Seeing that no one had any other questions, he said, "Now that we have been fighting for many years, the soldiers and the people are exhausted!" Heaven has the virtue of good life, and the earth has the intention of being rich and fertile, so you should cultivate your voice and breath, and stop fighting for the time being. Therefore, if you talk to Hussar for peace, you are not afraid of it, but you can't bear to go against the will of heaven and earth! However, Xiaoxiao is deceiving people and slandering people in the market. It is really hateful! 』

"It's a great blessing that Fengxiao has seen the hussar return home now!" ” Cao Cao raised his hands, “A special banquet and filial piety are held to wash away the dust! All your guests can drink as much as you like, and you won’t come home until you’re drunk! 』

Everyone responded one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively...
