As the saying goes in later generations, a penny cannot defeat a hero. In reality, heroes and heroes all need to eat, drink and relieve themselves. In daily life, basically speaking, they spend money every moment.
Liu Xie frowned a little.
Now, the treasury has no money, and the Young Master also has no money, and this year's autumn tax is still early, so we can't say that we have collected it in advance, right? What's more, even if we collect it now, I'm afraid the people won't have the money.
Then ask the noble gentry to raise some donations?
Who to look for?
There were no nobles in Bingbei originally. Even those who have arrived in Pingyang are actually just some noble nobles who came from nearby places. As for money, there are some, but no one can bring it.
A family's entire wealth is carried with them...
Liu Xie was thinking about it, and Fei Qian lowered his eyelids and was also thinking about it.
What do Fu Deyang Xiu and his gang want to do?
Stop this Yinshan Zen Ceremony?
Well, not likely.
This ceremony actually has some meaning to Fei Qian, but it is like the icing on the cake. It is good to have it, but there is not much loss if it is not there.
On the contrary, the meaning of Yinshan Fengchan to Liu Xie is different, and it is much more important than Feiqian. Liu Xie ascended the throne at a young age, and spent a period of useless life under Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun and others.
The time of autonomy, and now such a Zen ceremony is like the beginning of announcing Liu Xie's independence to the world. How can Liu Xie not pay attention to this?
Yang Xiu is a smart man, so it is impossible for him not to understand this. If he stops Liu Xie, it is tantamount to planting a nail in Liu Xie's heart, and he doesn't know when it will pop up.
Therefore, it is unlikely that Yang Xiu wanted to stop the Yinshan Zen Ceremony, so why did Yang Xiu propose such words?
Fei Qian thought about it quietly, and he had some answers in his mind.
Yang Xiu is indeed very smart, but his simple words hide a series of traps.
Liu Xie really has no money, so the only person who can contribute money at the moment, and who is very likely to be willing to contribute this amount of money, is Fei Qian himself. This is naturally a very simple matter. Originally, Fei Qian also estimated that it might be possible
Put some on it, just like raising these officials during this period of time. Anyway, there is no big fish or meat, and it doesn't cost much for a simple meal.
But with the addition of Ford's words, it's completely different.
Not to mention other things, if you want to pay attention to it, how much does it cost to have a guard of honor for the emperor? There is no fixed number for the pomp and ceremony of the guard of honor. It is simply a huge bottomless pit, and no matter how much you fill it in, it will not be enough!
The emperor has three levels: Dajia, Fajia, and Xiaojia. For a major political event like Fengchan Yinshan, it is natural that at least the Fajia specification must be used. Among the Fajia ceremonial guards, only the one used by the emperor
Each car needs to be decorated with a lot of gold and silver, so it is also called a gold-rooted car, and it must drive six horses. In addition, it must be accompanied by five auxiliary cars, each with four horses. In addition to these
, another two-horse chariot, and thirty-six more...
The grand chariot was even more serious. According to the etiquette regulations, the grand chariot had an astonishing number of horses, eighty-one chariots, thousands of chariots, and more than 10,000 cavalry guards. In addition, on top of the emperor's chariots, there were also
It was guided by the minister, escorted by the general, and driven by the servant who was in charge of the palace carriages and horses.
The small driver is more casual, and is only attended by the deacon and minister, and the number of chariots is also smaller.
In addition to the requirements on the vehicle, there are also the guides, drivers, front and rear escorts, front and rear agitation bands, ceremonial guards, etc. These personnel and equipment also require a lot of money to prepare.
There are six big flags, twelve big dragon flags, wind, rain, thunder and lightning flags and other kinds of flags, as well as compass chariots, li chariots, egret chariots, luan flag chariots, evil-eliminating chariots, Pixuan chariots, etc.
In addition, the band representing the majesty of the royal family uses snare drums, big drums, cymbal drums, festival drums, feather drums, flutes, long flutes, bamboo tubes, trombones, 筚篥, gold cymbals, silver files, etc...
How much money is needed to fill it in?
The key is that if you put so much money into it, whether you can hear a sound is a big problem.
When the money is spent, can these flags, ceremonials, etc. be turned back into money? Obviously it is impossible. Most of the money is spent in vain, and it is worthless.
So now, this money does not matter whether it is hidden or not.
Spending this money is tantamount to self-inflicted harm, consuming a lot of economic strength, and then getting nothing except some false fame. Under the circumstances, it may be overshadowed by the surrounding princes.
.
Not paying this amount of money is also unjustifiable. Yinshan is on its own territory. Strictly speaking, whether it is the emperor Liu Xie or the officials, they are all guests, but the master himself cannot pay a penny, which ultimately led to the entire act of granting Zen.
If nothing comes to an end, then Liu Xie wonders, who should be held responsible?
Paying money is tantamount to self-inflicted harm, not paying is equivalent to the end of the Zen ceremony. Of course, at the same time, it may not only end the Zen ceremony, but there may be more things...
Fei Qian turned his head slightly and glanced at Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu acted as if nothing was wrong, sitting upright with his eyes and nose in mind, and his posture was stable.
Fu De is just a pawn. Such a one-step, three-link strategy is probably impossible to come up with. And considering the current state, the weaker he is, the more beneficial it will be for the Yang family. Therefore, in addition to Yang Xiu, others also
I won't come up with this strategy to calculate.
So how should we respond?
Fei pondered it in his mind.
Therefore, in the hall, it was strangely silent at this moment. Only the sound of thin breathing could be heard, but no one spoke.
After a while, Liu Xie looked at Fei Qian and said softly: "This... what does Fei Aiqing think about this matter?"
After hearing Liu Xie's words, Yang Xiu's expression, which was originally like a wooden sculpture, moved slightly, and the hidden smile between his eyebrows quickly disappeared.
As Yang Xiu expected, Liu Xie would eventually ask Fei Qian for help.
The emperor is young and has an undecided temperament, which is the best time. A half-grown child of this age is naturally very good when he is good, but he is also very bad when he is bad. Yang Xiu was born in the Yang family of Hongnong.
, I have seen so many people like this in my family, of course I know the secret behind it.
If Liu Xie were to tell Liu Xie about Fei Qian's faults head-on, Liu Xie might not be willing to listen, but if Liu Xie already has some grudges in his heart, then if he fiddles with it a little bit, it might be like an avalanche...
And now is the beginning of the gap.
Yang Xiu glanced at Fei Qian out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself, General Fei Ziyuan of the Conquest of the West, in such a situation, how do you choose?
…………………………
At this moment, Cao Cao, who was far away in Xuzhou, was also facing a very difficult choice.
In front of the tent, a man who looked like a general was kneeling. His helmet had been removed, and his hair soaked in sweat and dust was hanging down, looking very embarrassed.
"Zilian!" Cao Cao yelled angrily, "Since you know that the soldiers in Qingzhou are wild and untamed, why didn't you take strict precautions and prevent them from causing such a big thing! Dongping and Fanxian successively attacked more than ten forts, and chickens and dogs passed by.
Don’t stay! Zilian, you have received good soldiers!”
Speaking of this matter, Cao Cao didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
A few days ago, Cao Hong was asked to take the Qingzhou soldiers to the surrounding areas to collect food and grass, and he did say that if anyone refused to cooperate, he could take some necessary measures. However, Cao Cao did not expect that the hungry Qingzhou soldiers would be released as if they had no reins.
Like a husky, even Cao Cao felt a little scared when he got crazy.
In Dongping and Fan County, there were more than ten large and small forts in the surrounding areas, involving tens of thousands of people. They were all captured by the Qingzhou soldiers who had tasted the sweetness. Those who were originally in the forts were captured.
Naturally, most of them were killed, and then they took the food and grass and burned them...
The problem of food and grass was indeed temporarily solved, but the massacre of all the rural nobles and nobles in the two counties was not the result Cao Cao wanted to see.
Killing soldiers and civilians is not a problem most of the time. Just like when Huangfu Song and others killed all 100,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers or drowned them, there was no one, or no descendants of the gentry.
He would stand up and accuse Huangfu Song and others of being cruel, and even compose some songs to praise Huangfu Song and others. However, when Dong Zhuo sent Xu Rong to kill a leader Li Min, some people immediately began to say that Dong Zhuo was cruel and easy to kill.
Human nature is such that when Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Wei, there was an uproar immediately...
The same was true for Cao Cao in Xuzhou.
Attacking Mu Tao Qian of Xuzhou was not a big deal in the eyes of most nobles.
After all, it’s just a feud between princes. When the results of the competition between the two sides come out, then naturally, whether it is Tao Qian or Cao Cao, this rural area still needs these nobles and right-wingers to coordinate local management and handle government affairs.
So some time ago, when Cao Cao led troops to attack Xuzhou, these nobles and nobles did not pay much attention, and they did not expect that these Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao would be so ferocious, and they did not have much preparedness, resulting in Qingzhou being destroyed in a few days.
The soldiers were like locusts, sweeping across Dongping and Fan counties.
Cao Hong suddenly lowered his head to the ground and said: "...someone... has neglected his duty, please punish me..." Cao Hong also knew that the matter was serious, so he came with a bush on his back. Hearing Cao Cao's angry rebuke, he did not argue too much.
Cao Hong did not expect that this matter would turn into such a situation.
Firstly, things progressed too fast, and Cao Hong didn't even react for a while.
When I came, I was in a happy mood and didn’t think much about it.
In addition, Cao Hong actually has a preference for Aduwu. Therefore, under the combined effect of several aspects, when Cao Hong wakes up from the carts of various gold and silver treasures, he goes out as a vanguard to sweep them away.
The Qingzhou soldiers had already raided the two counties and came back to ask if they wanted to continue to the next county. This suddenly made Cao Hong feel that something was wrong...
It's a pity that it's too late, and the severed head cannot grow back.
Cao Cao turned his head slightly and glanced at Wei Jian, who had originally suggested sending troops to borrow food, but saw that Wei Jian was sitting upright, like a wood carving.
Cao Cao couldn't help but grit his teeth and his cheeks jumped twice.
It makes no sense to blame Wei Xi for this matter.
The decision-maker was Cao Cao himself, and the executor was Cao Hong, Cao Cao's relative. Wei Ji simply made a suggestion, and all the rest was done by Cao Cao's side. And at the beginning, Wei Ji only said that he would catch one or two role models.
Killing chickens to scare monkeys, and did not say that all Wubao around the county would be slaughtered. This responsibility could not be implicated by Wei Qian.
However, Cao Cao felt vaguely in his heart that this matter seemed to be somewhat involved with Wei Qian...
But we have to leave this for later. We have to make a choice now.
The nobles are all vindictive. It is impossible to say that they killed the noble nobles in Fan County, Dongping. The nobles in other places would slap the left cheek and hand over the right cheek, and happily presented their clean necks, so if Cao Cao did not do it
If you don't give an explanation for how to deal with it, you will inevitably become a descendant of the eunuch party who is inhumane in the eyes of the Xuzhou gentry. Whether it is temporary business loans or local governance, I am afraid it will be very difficult.
But if it needs to be dealt with, how can it be dealt with?
Hand over your brothers and let the Xuzhou nobles vent their anger by cutting them to pieces?
Or send out the Qingzhou soldiers who finally got it?
For a moment, Cao Cao was unable to make a choice.
Wei Qiang, who was standing aside, showed no expression of gratitude on his face, but his heart was churning.
Cao Cao's desire to escape Yuan Shao's control is actually not difficult to guess, but the problem is that Yuan Shao is just a fool, and he will be the last to know until the last moment?
Who did Cao Cao rely on to take office in Dongjun? Without the soldiers and horses supported by Yuan Shao, how could Cao Cao gain a foothold in Yanzhou? If Yuan Shao had not endorsed Cao Cao, would Cao Cao, the eunuch and the remnant, be looked at differently?
Wei Jian came to Cao Cao, on the one hand, because there were too many people there and there was no suitable position. On the other hand, he was entrusted by Yuan Shao to "assist" Cao Cao. But now Cao Cao is obviously too ambitious.
Da Pang actually wanted to break away from Yuan Shao's invasion of Xuzhou, so of course he was not favored by the guards. If Cao Cao really took control of Xuzhou and stayed here in Xuzhou, then it would mean that Yuan Shao had lost his flank guards and would inevitably fall into being
Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu were in the unfavorable position of attacking from both sides.
Cao Cao can only be valuable to Yuan Shao if he stays in Yanzhou, and Wei Ji can only fulfill Yuan Shao's entrustment by letting Cao Cao stay in Yanzhou. Therefore, even if it is not because of the recklessness of the Qingzhou soldiers this time, Wei Ji will think of other things.
Method……
Wei Jian secretly glanced at Cao Cao from the corner of his eye, and thought to himself, Cao Mengde, the governor of Yanzhou, how do you choose in this situation?
