Chapter 2953 Sneak into the night with the wind, the moon turns into a moon shell(1/2)
Compared to being a little confused and slightly changed the script, Liu Xie, who only knows how to read one, two, three, and four, the veteran actor Xun may have understood what it is like after thinking for a while.

Although this is slightly different from what he originally planned, it has generally achieved the goal.
After Xun Or came to the Prime Minister's Office, he gave a brief explanation to Cao Pi.
The reason is slightly because Xun or knows that it is beneficial to bring closer relationships with Cao Pi, but it cannot be too close...
It’s not that Xun or discovered something wrong with Cao Pi’s personality right now, but Xun or as Cao Cao’s counselor, was not Cao Pi’s minister. He expressed kindness, so there was no problem, but he was too close, so old Cao would definitely not be happy.
"Lingjun," Cao Pi's attitude seemed particularly sincere today. "I would like to ask you to give me advice, why did there be many complaints in the court a few days ago, but now it is now like this?"
Cao Pi couldn't understand. He was still shouting for fighting and killing before. It seemed that all the emperors and officials, even the civil gentry, were talking about Cao Cao, saying that Cao was old and had a lot of time, and that was inappropriate and incomplete, or he secretly said how the Xiahou family of Cao dominated the power and bullied the weak. Anyway, there were basically few people who said good things from top to bottom. Why did Cao Cao immediately turn a flip after Cao Cao resigned, and it was said that Prime Minister Cao was hard, Prime Minister Cao was not easy, and Prime Minister Cao had made great contributions?
Just because Ren Jun was "assassinated", he was scared?
So easy to use?
It's that simple?
So, can any officials in the future be "assassinated"?
Cao Pi felt it was necessary to ask and figure it out.
Xun thought for a moment, "Officials, officials, serve kings, and are like crowds."
"Hiss..." Cao Pi felt a toothache. He said something carefully before, but now he has this one again?!
"Let me be treated as a gift from a boy!" Cao Pi left his seat and bowed to Xun or the big gift without saying a word.
Xun Or was startled. This kid didn't play according to common sense! So he quickly got up, avoided it, and knelt down and returned the greeting.
Cao Pi looked solemn, "Lingjun! I am stupid by nature and read very little... Please let me say more details! I'm polite here!"
"Huh..." Xun may have no choice but to return the favor again and say that it is his own fault. He will definitely explain in detail in the future and will no longer make things difficult for the prince.
Xun or Zhen did not mean it.
In his cognition, it is already very straightforward to say this.
The sentences about the Lu family’s Spring and Autumn before may be a bit "outsided", but what Xun or he said was the sentences about the word "interpretation" of the word "interpretation"! Isn’t this a shallow text that all the children of the gentry must read from childhood and be able to memorize it like a stream?
Cao Pi was impatient. He subconsciously felt that it sounded troublesome, so he thought Xun or was in circles again, so he acted one step faster than his brain, and didn't want to think about it any more. Otherwise, Cao Pi really had to calm down and think carefully, but he couldn't remember where Xun or said this...
After all, in the Han Dynasty, this is a reading material for primary school students.
Of course, it is also possible that Cao Pi felt that paying a visit was easier than thinking about it.
"Crown Prince, do you remember that the minister said before that Shandong is now "it is better to buy"?
Cao Pi nodded, "This matter is also related?"
Xun nodded, "It's like assassinating the Celestial Crossbow... Originally, the price was obtained from merchants, but we still claimed to be proud, thinking that the Cavalry ruled the underworld... Now that I think about it, I'm completely trapped..."
At first, he could smuggle some elite equipment from the cavalry workshop. Many Shandong people secretly laughed at the cavalry as a fool, and his workshop was just a sieve. As a result, after getting used to the cavalry equipment...
You should know that war, well, even if it is not a war, the daily use of these weapons will have the probability of damage. Shandong feels that everything is good for Chang'an, and it is better to buy it by itself. When something happens, he will glar at him, and then he kept mocking Chang'an and ridiculing the Shandong gentry who sang the cavalry, all his heads shrank and closed his mouth, and thought that he had never said it before.
These gentry children like to mock Fei Qian in Chang'an, and naturally mocked Cao Cao in Xu County for fun.
However, it is harder to make these Shandong gentry children take responsibility for their own words than to ascend to heaven.
Just like those who used to ridicule the policy of cavalry, the system was outdated, either to follow the Spring and Autumn Period or to imitate the ancients, it was nothing more than this and all kinds of descendants of the gentry who looked down upon. Now that they know that these systems and laws are powerful, they immediately changed their words, indicating that Fei was acting unruly and corrupting the legal system of the ancestors.
Xun Or means this. Such officials seem to be crowded but in fact they are useless...
The original meaning of the word "安" is originally just a house that represents authority in the ancient oracle bone inscriptions.
It's just a dead thing.
How good or bad officials are, whether they are good or bad, is not measured by the dead objects on their surface, nor the crown on their heads or the robes on their bodies, but rather the people and their words and deeds.
Now these gentry children suddenly changed their tone. What's so strange about it from opposing Cao Cao to supporting Cao Cao?
Seeing that Ren Jun was assassinated, he might be killed, so he would just die. I am supporting Prime Minister Cao!
A saint appears before a person, but a ghost comes from behind.
Cao Pi understood a little, but nodded a little.
Understanding the human heart is a major project, and with Cao Pi's current skills, it is naturally somewhat deficient.
Seeing this, Xun Or did not force it, but instead changed the subject and began to explain to Cao Pi why he designed it like this and why he got the current situation...
Shandong has a large population.
The meaning of many is a mob.
Especially in Shandong, there are too many people who think they are smart people, know everything, and they especially like to jiu. This trend has reached its peak during the Yuedan Review. Although it has been suppressed a little, there are still many remnants and endless poisons.
In this case, if you want to unify your thinking and keep these people from Shandong at least on the surface consistent with Cao Cao, you can't just hold two court meetings and issue an announcement. And there are also some people, if the official request is made, the more they should show their wisdom, deliberately do the opposite, speak the opposite, and do the opposite, at least they should stand aside and sarcastically...
Now, Cao Cao is seeking a battle. If he really wants to start a fight, he must concentrate and be indifferent. Therefore, he must first let these people automatically adjust to a unified direction.
It is better to force, even the surface unity, than to not even maintain the surface...
There is another very important factor.
No money anymore.
Thanks to the measures pioneered by Fei Qian at the moment of the Han Dynasty, not only did Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others in Chang'an have a deeper understanding of economic development, social progress, and technological improvement, but also affected Shandong, which forced Xun and others to learn and change.
But Xun may still have many things that are confused and not very clear, but if you explain it a little, you can still do it...
Of course, if you have learned the political and economic part in later generations, you can generally understand one or two. For example, what Xun or Cao Pi explained now is actually talking about the right to mint coins.
This is a blunt knife, which makes Shandong feel extremely painful at the moment, but there is nothing we can do about it.
Since the Wuzhu coins were worsened by Dong Zhuo and were despised across the country... Well, in fact, it is not only Dong Zhuo's contribution, but also those Shandong gentry who wanted to take advantage of the evil coins to dig out their own underground, or smash bronze statues of bronze statues in the ancestral temples and cast private coins. They also put in the wrong hands on the original monetary system of the Han Dynasty and took advantage of the situation to rob, which eventually led to the complete collapse of the Han Dynasty's coins.
It is obvious that as long as human society moves forward, it is impossible to get rid of commodity trading.
Especially in China, a country with many terrain, multi-ethnic, water and soil distribution, high and low differences, and product differences, the circulation and transaction of commodities are the instinctive needs of the overall development of society. It is not a few laws, or can be completely curbed by suppressing merchants to the bottom.
Wealth is often described as flowing water, which means that it will find low-lying land on its own and then fill it up and level it up, just like the responsibilities and obligations that should have been borne by the court, but the court failed to do so, so naturally there will be gray or even black forces from the people to fill it.
If Fei Qian had not been Fei Qian, then Cao Cao, who occupied Yanzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Qingxu land, would have a large amount of land, and these lands would once again bring the Three Kingdoms back to the trajectory of farming to determine the outcome, and also left all the emperors of subsequent dynasties with a wrong understanding that farming and fighting to determine everything.
But it is obvious that the word "farm" is not the whole society.
As Fei Qiang Chang'an did not attack Shandong in a frivolous manner, but instead pulled the man to run to another road, the importance of money, or currency, gradually began to appear.
Shandong began to fall into Feiqian's trade network, and once it got stuck, the obstacle to getting up was not just as simple as "buying is worse than buying".
In the Shandong area, it was not so cooperative at the beginning, nor did it willingly join Feiqian's trade network. However, as the most powerful consumer group in the Han Dynasty, its huge population base is like a snowball rolling down the top of a mountain. After it is pulled and moved, it is very difficult to brake.
Especially with the opening of the Western Regions, a thick trade route runs from the west to the east.
The snowball is getting bigger and bigger and faster.
『If we can eliminate the goods from the Western Regions...』 Xun said in a deep voice, 『This battle can be prepared for a few more days, but now it can only be... a battle. The things in the Western Regions are of great value. Although they are very exquisite and prosperous, they are still... but... the farmer worked for a hundred acres a year, but only a hundred stones. The hard work for several years is not as good as a gold pot in the Western Regions...』
The prices in the Western Regions doubled, but some people flocked to them. Some people even sold the goods they had purchased before and sold them for second-hand. They made a lot of money from time to time, and happily shared their business minds.
What a good mind!
Xun may sometimes want to dig open the heads of these guys to see what is inside...
Cao Pi asked: "Then why can't we cut off goods from the Western Regions?"
Xun may not speak, but his eyes turned slightly.
Cao Pi followed Xun's gaze and saw a complete set of gold and silver utensils placed on the side of the hall. The patterns were gorgeous and complex, and shining gems were inlaid, which seemed to be a specialty of the Western Regions.
"This..." Cao Pi remembered that this set of drinking utensils was his father's favorite, and he had a big banquet for guests before.
Cao Pi was also with him and drank a few drinks.
The rose apple wine filled with ice fish tastes like...
Well, Cao Pi admitted that he asked a stupid question.
"The more goods trade, the more coins you need. The more you trade with goods in the Western Regions, the more you need to use the money from the cavalry..." Xun Or sighed slightly, "Everyone knows that the cavalry's money is good, and they all want to use it, so now the Wuzhu coins are gone in the market..."
"Then is there no way to ban the money from the cavalry?" Cao Pi asked.
Xun may smile bitterly, "It is simple to say that it is simple and simple, but it is just an edict. But... the prince thought that if this edict was issued, would it be beneficial to the lord? Is it harmful to the lord?"
That's right, aren't coins? Isn't they legal currency?
Then change a law, which stipulates that you cannot use cavalry coins, but Wuzhu coins, or the money minted by Cao himself, isn't it done? Cao Pi thought so, but soon, he understood what Xun's meaning, his face began to look ugly, and his face turned red in anger, but he didn't know what to say, nor did he know how to vent, but just sat there and gasped.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Cao Cao, or the Xiahou family of Cao, was willing to bear the consequences of cutting off the use of the cavalry money for a while and returning to the barter state, would other Shandong gentry be willing? Will these people follow Cao Cao's footsteps or will they think this is a great opportunity to make money, and the opportunity should not be missed and never come again?
The ant hole and rat warehouse are blooming everywhere. The financial dam that Cao Cao tried his best to pull up would collapse in a bang.
The benefits are that all local gentry and family members have been taken, but the consequences are the people of Shandong. But the blame is, of course, Old Man Cao is the one who takes it alone.
Then the public grievances will be boiling, who will calm down?
If Cao Cao did not want to retreat, he had to hand over his important counselors, then...
Who will it be?
To be continued...
