When the things found from Zhao Shang's house were placed in front of Fei Qian, Fei Qian was also a little surprised. The colorful scepter and crossbow machine were second to none. After all, if he had to force a defense, it would not be unreasonable, but this
Gelsemium vulgare is indeed incomprehensible.
There is no need to hide the Gu basin for the next step...
What do you want to do if you have Gelsemium hidden in your home?
To poison rats? Catch a rat, open its mouth, and pour poison into it?
Even Zhao Shang, a disciple of Zheng Xuan who was full of knowledge and learned a lot, couldn't tell the difference. This kind of problem is just like a certain group of university tutors in later generations who let beautiful graduate students run to their hotels every day when they have nothing to do, and then even if they make high-sounding claims.
There are no impure thoughts or bad intentions. It is just like seeing the world and gaining insights. Who would believe it if there is some thinking ability?
Fei Qian originally thought that the five-color scepter might not be understood by anyone, and wanted to prove that Zhao Shang still had some difficulty, but he did not expect that a bottle of poison could solve any problem. Even if Zhao Shang struggled to argue something, nothing happened.
To no avail.
It’s no longer important whether you admit guilt or not. What’s important is not to let Zhao Shangpan bite you!
Regardless of whether the witchcraft thing is true or not, it is enough that there are crossbows and poison hidden in the house.
Zhao Shang is still very strong in terms of academic scriptures, and he is naturally good at talking about things. Therefore, many officials have some contacts with him, but at this moment, it is natural to be a dead Taoist friend rather than a poor Taoist.
, whether they were casual acquaintances or those who had been close to each other in the past, they also tried their best to distance themselves from the relationship with Zhao Shang, and immediately expressed that they had been deceived by Zhao Shang's treachery, and unanimously agreed to severely punish this evil thief.
There is so much public outrage.
In this era, there were no civil or criminal laws. The few weak words of support for Zhao Shang were quickly wiped out by the overwhelming condemnation.
Fei Qian covered his face with his long sleeves, then waved his hand, asking the soldiers to drag Zhao Shang down, and announced that he would choose a day to kill him in accordance with Han law, which immediately attracted a burst of flattering words from Pingyang officials, which fully expressed these officials
The urgent desire to cover Zhao Shang's coffin and nail it to death.
Naturally, Pei Jun is included among them.
Although Pei Jun immediately noticed that something was wrong when he saw Fei Qian return to Pingyang, and tried every means to secretly reveal to Xun Chen what Zhao Shang had done, it did not mean that he could completely get rid of himself in this way.
If General Fei Qian of Zhengxi were to investigate him, he would be implicated to some extent. Therefore, when he heard that Zhao Shang had been arrested, he wished that Zhao Shang would be killed immediately...
Do you need to add fuel to the fire, pretend you don't know anything, or think of other ways? Pei Jun couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
For Fei Qian, it is another issue to consider. Zhao Shang's matter is not a big one, but the development of the entire incident from Guanzhong to Pingyang is not a small one. Many problems seem to be independent of each other.
They have their own differences, but if you look at them from a higher perspective, they actually have some similarities in some aspects.
For example, Fei Qian has always considered the time and space issues of dynasties and empires——
Ever since humans began to have territorial awareness, they have been constantly expanding their living territories. This is the same as some animals. They seem to have to urinate and poop wherever they go to confirm their territory.
From the slave age to the feudal dynasty, every human ruler, whether he is a faint king or a wise king, actually has more or less thought about expanding the territory of his empire. However, the faint king mostly thinks about it in his dreams, while the wise king thinks about it in his dreams.
It will only take some effort. China's territory also expanded outward little by little from the Yellow River Central Plains area from the Zhou Dynasty until it formed what it is today. Among all Chinese dynasties, the largest territory was Mo
It’s too old for the Yuan Dynasty.
Although many people do not agree with the Yuan Dynasty and do not think that the Yuan Dynasty is an orthodox Chinese dynasty, it is undeniable that the territory of the Yuan Dynasty was indeed the largest, so that later dynasties were not able to break through the scope of the Yuan Dynasty again.
If we compare all the countries that have ever appeared on the earth in history, and just judge by territory, then the Yuan Dynasty can definitely be ranked in the top three. So the problem arises, in the 12th century AD when productivity and technology were low
Why did the Yuan Dynasty, which was born on horseback, have such a vast territory?
Is it just because of the war horses?
Even with war horses, time and space are still a huge problem when facing a huge territory.
Fei Qian had previously thought that if the roads were opened and straight roads were repaired, the time spent on the road would be saved, and the Central Corps could reach various places faster and more conveniently, which would help form a larger empire.
But now, Fei Qian suddenly realized another problem...
In fact, from a historical perspective, the rise and fall of nomadic peoples around China are like the crucian carp crossing the river. They are countless, but few have achieved great success. Even the Qing Dynasty in later generations did not even think about unifying the country at the beginning.
, just wanted to get a vote and left, but did not expect that the extremely corrupt Ming Dynasty was riddled with rotten tofu, and it was a waste of money.
Only the Yuan Dynasty made bold statements from the beginning of a small yurt on the grassland. I won’t go into details about Genghis Khan’s life trajectory. Logically speaking, a nomadic people who are used to living in no fixed place are not very
There may be continuity in climbing the technology tree, but it is also difficult to have a stable rear base and cultural inheritance to support the long-term order of the dynasty. Naturally, there is not much room for development, but the Yuan Dynasty did it...
Of course, many people will also say that the Yuan Dynasty was only a part of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire, and it was just one of the Golden Horde Empires. The other constituent countries of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire, such as the Golden Khanate and the Tatar Kingdom, cannot be regarded as the Yuan Dynasty.
There is nothing wrong with that, but what Feiqian is thinking about here is not the so-called ownership issue, but what kind of motivation led to the Mongolians' almost crazy expansion behavior?
Why do the people who established a dynasty in the center of China have no such motivation?
Is it safe to be rich?
Not greedy enough?
Waste people and money?
Acquiring those barren lands is of no use?
After all, Chinese civilization still has not embarked on the path of expansion. Perhaps among these, the most critical issue is the ideological issues that remain in the land of China...
The roads are difficult to navigate. Is there anything more laborious and difficult than hauling and transporting towering trees from Annan to Beijing to be used as beams for building palaces?
Information is slow. Is there anything more worrying about delaying time than sending perishable lychees directly from Lingnan to Chang'an for the nobles to enjoy?
So all the problems are not big problems, just don’t think about it.
So how can we turn not wanting to want into wanting?
After all, Chinese people who have read books are not as easy to motivate as Mongolians. Just say "the grassland of the world" and they will scream and rush to the horizon...
By the way, Classic of Mountains and Seas?
Fei Qian sipped Yahuazi, maybe this is a good direction to try...
But now, Fei Qian still needs to consider solving a more urgent problem at the moment.
Information asymmetry.
In later generations, the major that Fei Qian studied at the university was the "Department of Information Management." Looking back now, this department must have been decided by some leaders who didn't know whether to pat their heads or their butts. As a result, Fei Qian
From his freshman year to his senior year, the course system was extremely confusing, including finance, management, and even accounting. It was simply a hodgepodge...
It wasn't until he entered the society that Fei Qian gradually realized how important a resource information is and how huge a system it is. It was not something that the messy courses he had in college at the time could teach or even describe accurately.
Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others just wanted to dig a small hole at first, but the three of them never expected that the hole looked small but was so deep. It was just like rumors, based on information asymmetry. Zhao Shang was like this
It has been done before, Fei Qian has done it too, and there is no telling whether there will be more people or more things in the future...
Fei Qian sat alone in the lobby. After pondering for a long time, he invited Zao Zhi over.
Zao Zhi can be said to be the most aristocratic person in Pingyang at the moment. As a Cang Cao, he manages grain affairs. Although his responsibilities are not as important as those of a soldier or an official, no matter which official sees Zao Zhi,
They are all treated with courtesy. After all, since ancient times, farming and mulberry farming have been the foundation of a country and the foundation of its prosperity.
Moreover, Zaozhi has considerable prestige not only among the gentry and officials, but also among the people. It can be seen from the fact that there is no so-called obscene temple of Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, around Pingyang, but there are many obscene temples belonging to Zaozhi.
at this point……
"Zijing, how much damage has been done to the surrounding Zhuanghe?" Fei Qian asked straight to the point while gesturing for Zao Zhi to sit down.
After the war ended, Zao Zhi began to go around to check the status of cultivated land, and called on the people who had hid in the mountains to come out again. In this regard, Zao Zhi was like a big shining sign. In the eyes of ordinary farmers,
It is more effective than General Zhengxi. After all, General Zhengxi Fei Qian cannot go down to the ground to chat with them, check Zhuang He, or even hoe the ground to improve the procedures.
Zao Zhi's complexion is now gradually turning into a wheat color. Anyway, he and Fei Qian, Dahei Buxiaoerhei, no longer have the fair and pure appearance of the scholar under Lushan Mountain in Jingxiang.
Zao Zhi took out a piece of wooden tablet from his arms, handed it to the attendant, and asked him to pass it to Fei Qian, saying: "Although Yang did not order the destruction of cultivated land, there are still many damages in the countryside...
Especially near Pingyang, the trampling was particularly serious, with a total damage of more than 370 acres..."
Fei Qian took the wooden tablet, looked at it, shook his head, and felt a little helpless. After this battle, Yang Biao certainly lost his troops, but Fei Qian also suffered a lot of losses here, but fortunately, he could pass on part of the losses to Hedong.
on the head...
Fei Qian put the wooden slip on the table, nodded and said, "I invite Zijing here because I want to build an agricultural society. I wonder what Zijing will do?"
"Talk about agricultural society?" Zao Zhi was a little confused.
Fei Qian nodded and said: "Of course. There are many barbarians in the north. They eat meat, drink cheese, and wear furs. They don't live in cities and fields. They are like birds and animals in the wide fields. The grass and sweet water will stop. When the grass is gone, the water will be exhausted.
When they move, they have too much food and clothing to stick to the ground, which has always been the source of trouble that disturbs the frontiers. Judging from the history, the Hu people moved back and forth, and they went back and forth at different times, turning to herding and hunting under the fortress, sometimes as Yan, Dai, or when.
Shangjun, Beidi, Longxi, enter with a small number of soldiers and plunder one area. If they are not rescued, the border people will be desperate and will surrender to the enemy. If they are rescued, fewer troops will not be enough. It will take more troops to arrive, but Hu has gone. So.
Over the years, the county has become poor and the people's livelihood is uneasy. Even if you can guard against thieves for one day, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days..."
Zao Zhi nodded and said: "...My lord, what I said is very true...but what is the meaning of a farm cooperative?"
Fei Qian laughed loudly and said: "Farmers in China have different levels of fields. It is not because they are incompetent, but because they don't know. Zijing traveled among the fields for many years, teaching skills within the fields, giving him winter and summer clothes, and providing him with food. But,
All farmers know the changes in the four seasons and the essentials of farming. If you talk about agricultural cooperatives, you can teach the essentials of farmland farming, increase the harvest of acres, and make the lower ones medium and the middle ones higher. Isn't it beautiful? In addition, if you want to stop the chaos and calm it down, you should make it
He knows that the land can produce more than the shepherds, and if they cultivate it in the wild, there may be very few at first, but eventually there will be those who are diligent. If they get land, they can spread it, and the mulberry farming needs four seasons, and there will be
I have no time to take care of the rest of my wealth. After many years, if a barbarian speaks Chinese, knows Chinese characters, wears Chinese clothes, and cultivates Han acres, how will he be different from the Han people?"
Zao Zhi somewhat understood what Fei Qian meant and said, "So, when we talk about agricultural cooperatives, we teach people how to farm, regardless of whether they are Hu or Han?"
"The Han people are the main ones, with the Hu people as the supplement. The Hu people will start with the Xiongnu of Yinshan Mountain and advance step by step..." Fei Qian said, "Now we can first move to the north and implement it in Guanzhong... Zijing can recruit people who are good at farming and proficient in writing.
That’s it, teach agricultural deacons, agricultural envoys and other positions, ranging from 30 to 200 dan, stationed in various towns and villages, teaching farming and mulberry matters, one school per year, this is one of them..."
Zao Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
Fei Qian continued slowly: "...Secondly, the matter of mulberry farming has many projects, is extensive and profound, and cannot be understood by those who are not committed to it. Therefore, agricultural cooperatives need to gather regularly and teach the essence. If you have already left Pingyang
Then you can use the Yi Chuanshuan to explain what you have learned or explain what you have confused, and gather the wisdom of everyone to solve even one or two problems..."
After hearing this, Zao Zhi said with some doubts: "My lord, this is a grand event for farming and mulberry farming! I only run around the streets, and I often hate that I have no skills. If I can build a farming community, it can promote farming and mulberry farming, which will be of great benefit!"
However...if our method of farming is learned by others..."
Fei Qian laughed and said: "The knowledge of heaven and earth is boundless, how can there be a limit? We are in urgent need of bravery and diligence. How can we rest on our own laurels in the way of farming and mulberry farming? The world is all Han land, even if there is a war between the emperor and the emperor.
As brothers, if you are willing to learn, I will send an envoy to teach you, so that everyone in the world will know about my ambition in Ling Yun, how can we just argue for petty gains?"
Zao Zhi was delighted and couldn't help but applaud and praised: "I admire your lord's ambition very much! In this way, I built this agricultural cooperative to collect mulberry crops from all over the world!"
Fei Qian said boldly, but in fact, the calculation in his stomach was far more than just the superficial rhetoric. Of course, there was no need for Zao Zhi to know these dark things, because even if he knew, he might not be able to do it well.
.
Wherever there is light, there will naturally be darkness. The brighter the place, it is not that there is no darkness, but it is hidden and difficult for people to detect. Fei Qian's idea is to let Zao Zhi maintain a bright, legitimate and selfless image.
Well, as for those dark affairs, we will send someone else to deal with them...
