The breath of spring is rippling in Luoyang City, stirring people's minds.
Compared with its previous decline, Luoyang City has indeed recovered a lot, and is at least a little more lively. The Wei River, which was originally frozen in winter, started to flow again, and the merchants who came and went were like ducks, the first to follow the water flow.
Come here and sell all kinds of materials.
During the period of reconstruction in Luoyang, even a bundle of straw was valuable and useful and could be sold for money. Among these caravans, the Yang and Huang caravans were the main force. Although
Fei Qian and Yang Biao had several fights with each other, but they seemed to have nothing to do with these caravans. When they met each other, they even smiled and bowed their hands in greeting...
Of course, I don’t know what the actions behind the scenes are.
Shopping malls also have shopping mall rules. Some methods are like nuclear weapons in later generations. They are prepared but not used easily, because once used, it will basically damage the enemy by 1,000 and damage yourself by 800, which means greater losses.
The ferry in the south of Luoyang City has finally restored some of its former scenes, but compared with its heyday, there is still a gap. Before Dong Zhuo destroyed Luoyang, a large city with a population of nearly one million, every day
The boats at the ferry are really connected end to end, and they are all connected together, and they even have to change to other nearby ferries to disembark and then transfer over.
Although there is a gap, it is gradually developing in a good direction, right?
Interestingly, in Luoyang City, the first and most well-equipped stores were not the grocery stores that sold the daily needs of ordinary people: rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, but the restaurants and tile shops that sang loudly and spoke eloquently.
It’s always like this for officials. Occasionally, they go down to the grassroots level to experience the lives of the common people. That’s certainly possible, but if they go down to the grassroots level every day, then who will handle the major national affairs...
Beijing officials used to be arrogant in front of officials from other places, but now, they generally have one point left. Similar to later dynasties, the people at the emperor's feet always like to worry about the emperor.
The problem is, even if I still eat rice bran at home, I still have to sit in a tile house and talk for a long time with a bowl of sour wine.
During this period, the entire court situation around Heluo was finally overturned. A series of dizzying changes made many people overwhelmed. The Hongnong Yang family who originally controlled the government seemed to have fallen into the clouds.
, the yellow mud stained all over the body looks like shit rather than shit.
And Fu Wan joined forces with Lu Bu, both civil and military, to take the place left by Yang Biao.
As a relative, Fu Wan was granted the title of Grand Sikong, responsible for the secretarial affairs, held the Jie Jie Yue, commanded hundreds of officials, and was in charge of the affairs of the state. Lü Bu was promoted to General of the Guard, held the Jie Jie Yue, and was in charge of the nine schools of Luoyang.
At the same time, Luoyang City was stirred up by some subsequent personnel changes related to this matter.
Er Yuan was still the same as before. Naturally, he didn't expect Er Yuan to immediately find his way back after Fu. He gathered his soldiers and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly to plead guilty, so he ostensibly sent an envoy to urge taxes and tribute. By the way,
After adding the titles of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, there is no further content.
Yang Biao was kicked out from the center of the court and given the title of Taichang. Then Yang Biao resigned because of his illness. After the ceremony, he sent a bus to invite him again. Then Yang Biao resigned again. He came and went slowly.
Slowly faded.
The long-awaited matter still lies in the west.
Yang Biao came to the table and asked for the promotion of Fei Qian, General of the West, to General of Hussars. The words on the table were conclusive, saying that General Zhengxi had fought in the north and south in recent years, regained the country, opened up the Yinshan Mountains, stabilized the people, managed the refugees, and so on.
There are a lot of them, and then they say that they cannot be rewarded unless they are generals of hussars, which makes people somewhat confused...
Did Yang Biao change his temper and prepare to join forces with General Zhengxi?
Or take this opportunity to make a killing?
Or is there some ulterior motive involved?
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.
The most interesting thing is that when someone rumored that Yang Biao was the official, some people from the Hongnong Yang family refuted the rumors, saying that Yang Biao had never been the official, saying that Yang Biao had not even taken up his own official position, and was still paying for it.
Who is listed?
So is there any?
Some people said yes, some said no, but the words "Han Hussars General" suddenly appeared on the forefront of the storm.
The hussar generals of the Han Dynasty, starting from Wei Qing's generation, are basically not awarded easily, and are even more precious than generals. After all, as long as any decent relative can basically get a general, but
It is absolutely impossible to hold the title of a hussar general.
According to convention, although the general is in charge of the army across the country, in fact, because the general is in Kyoto for a long time and is rarely dispatched, he does not have many troops in his hands, and sometimes it is not as powerful as conquering and pacifying in all directions.
Therefore, among military positions, when dispatched everywhere, the person with the power to command troops is the hussar general, and the cavalry general often becomes his foil. When Yuan Shao started to flatter himself, he did not dare to lead the hussar general all at once.
, which can also prove the importance of this position in the minds of the Han people.
However, Fei Qian has actually made some achievements over the years. Speaking of which, it seems that he is not bad, but...
For the Heluo people near Luoyang, the disputes between Yuan and Yuan and the Yanzhou War seemed a bit far away. Even the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not leave much of a deep impression on them, but only Xixi
The above events were deeply remembered by these people. After all, the Xiqiang Rebellion that started during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had killed one or two generations of people!
How much food was there back then was like pouring buckets and basins of water on the sand. Only some marks were visible, and then the water-like money and food disappeared without a trace. How many lives and property were filled in, one or two years later?
, ten, twenty, thirty or forty years to fill it, it seems like a bottomless pit, no matter how hard you fill it, you can't fill it!
In the end, even the imperial court couldn't hold on anymore. Some even said that the entire Western Han Dynasty could be completely abandoned and the bleeding limbs were cut off. The long-term pain would be worse than the short-term pain...
So, can the current general who conquers the West, or rather the future hussar general, be able to complete the task that has lasted for one or two generations? Like the previous hussar generals of the Han Dynasty, can he be as powerful as the frontier guards and the people?
There was a lot of noise in restaurants and restaurants, and seven or eight tables out of ten were all talking about this topic.
"...General of the Conquest of the West, Ping Baibo, conquered the Yin Mountains, and he did have great achievements. Needless to say, he can lead troops. Starting from scratch, running a business in Pingyang, his financial and planning skills are not shallow. He is already a rare talent, but I want to touch this
This thing... think about how many heroes filled it back then... I'm afraid Zhengxi still doesn't weigh enough!"
"In my opinion, even if ten or eight leopards from Zhengxi were brave enough, he would not dare to touch this matter! At that time, the Northern Army was mobilized in the court, and soldiers from various counties were mobilized. Including the border troops, there were at least one million people.
The plan! They couldn't defeat the Xiqiang! The food and salary allocated by the imperial court were as big as the mountains and the sea. The material convoys that were transported back then were sent to the horizon every day! Even so, they couldn't defeat them. In the end, they still couldn't defeat them.
Please make peace!"
"I said, you bastard, you are talking again at this time! Did the imperial court really allocate all the food and salary to the army? Don't you all know this well? When the supplies were transferred back then, you organized the manpower to go there
When you take turns working, you also take the opportunity to make money. After you get a lot of money, why don't you show off here with us? You can't make money now, can you?"
"This... I earned my hard-earned money based on my strength! Besides, my ancestors also fought bloody battles for big men, so such a job can only fall into my hands. Otherwise, ordinary libertines wouldn't even think about it.
!Hi! That’s not the case. What I mean is that there were so many people, so many supplies, and so many generals back then. Even the Three Dukes went into battle, but they couldn’t solve this problem. Now General Zhengxi is just one person.
Can this be done?"
"...Let me tell you, General Zhengxi is definitely a smart man, and his wisdom is far more than that. In my opinion, it was just a show of force, and in the end he let it go..."
"Let it go? Who will let it go after being put on the rack? What about those people who let it go back then? Is it easy to be a hussar general? Anyone can play in front of him? Don't be ridiculous! How can General Zhengxi be like this?
Isn't this status earned by virtue of the meritorious service on the frontier over the years? But now if I don't take this, wouldn't I have wiped out all my followers? And if I take this hussar, it will be like a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.
If this goes on for a long time, all the money will be lost!"
"If that's the case, it would be a pity. General Zhengxi is really capable. Needless to say, Pingbaibo, who runs Pingyang, is said to be more lively than Luoyang. If it were ruined like this
, I have to sigh a few times. Alas, what is happening today..."
There was a lot of noise in Luoyang City, all talking about this matter. The implication was that no one was optimistic that Fei Qian could really do this. Even if he insisted on going his own way, his end was almost doomed.
For the people, news in the officialdom is even faster. Even before the people start talking about it, there are already several versions circulating privately among officials.
Some people say that Yang Biao did not represent Xi as a hussar at all, but only gave a complimentary seal because he wanted to ease the relationship with Zheng Xi, and did not mention anything about hussar at all...
Some people say that the momentum of conquering the West is too strong now. Two Yuans are enough to give people a headache. If there is a newly rising Zhengxi, how can it be done? Can the imperial court still be regarded as a imperial court? It has long been reasonable to deal with these people.
The two Yuans are not very good at starting, so they will set an example by conquering the West. When the time comes to conquer the West, um, the Hussars will pacify the Western Qiang, and then the two Yuans will pacify Beiyou, and the other will pacify South Vietnam. The border issues of the Han Dynasty
They all live together...
All officials basically hold their own opinions on this issue.
This is because the border issues of the Han Dynasty have always been the most stubborn patient. Anyone with insight knows the huge expenditures of the Han Dynasty on these issues over the years. If some local interests can be transferred this time, these problems can be solved once and for all.
When it comes to border issues, then this is not a better approach.
In fact, Fu Wan and Yang Biao should know the actual situation of the above-mentioned matter best, but what is strange is that neither of them responded directly to this matter, as if they were waiting for something...
At this moment, in a newly opened restaurant in Luoyang City, all the private rooms upstairs have been booked, and they even asked people to remove the partitions and connect them into a transparent hall. Anyway, in general, restaurants in the Han Dynasty
They are all a mixed structure of masonry, stone, earth and wood. The first floor is basically bricks and earth. Some of the exterior walls from the second floor are made of bricks, and some are just made of wooden boards. So it is easy to remove partitions, doors and walls, anyway.
Naturally, it can be put back after being dismantled. Besides, those who dare to open a restaurant in Kyoto also have this look in their eyes, knowing when to put on airs and when to put down their posture.
Above the restaurant, there are now strong men waiting on all sides, and the serving slaves are flowing around the place like fish, constantly bringing drinks and dishes.
After Luoyang City had gone through a period of recovery, and it had not been ruined for as long as it had in history, the time for Li Guo and others to cause rebellion was also shorter. In addition, Yang Biao was also a little more aggressive in the early days.
My strength has been improved a lot, so I have regained some of my appearance.
For ordinary people, wine and meat may be luxuries that cannot be eaten once or twice a year, but for officials above the court, what does wine and meat mean?
In the innermost position, Fu De sat leisurely, surrounded by young people, basically the princes of officials at all levels in the court, all with rich crowns and silk scarves and long sleeves.
When one person achieves Taoism, the whole family will be honored. The Han's relatives take turns doing this, and this year they arrived at Fu's house.
After all, Fu Wan's status is precious, and there are some things that are not easy to come forward for. Even if he wants to win over someone, he will not do it easily. Otherwise, if he is rejected, wouldn't it be a loss of face?
Therefore, it was basically Fu De who was responsible for exploring the way ahead. Of course, hosting a banquet here today not only showed his identity, but also had the intention of recruiting talents for the Fu family.
When he was half drunk, Fu De suddenly heard someone shouting something loudly in the corner. He couldn't help but attract some attention. He gave a slight gesture, and then a confidant on the side understood and took the order and left. After a while, he came back.
Whispered a few words in Fu De's ear.
Fu De was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, picked up the wine cup, and headed towards that place.
"Haha...why is it so lively..." Fu De smiled, pretending not to know anything and just being attracted by the sound.
"Come on! Brother Fu, I have introduced someone who is full of classics and theories. He has great talent, great talent! Hahahaha..." A middle-aged man who looked like a waiter said. Although the words he used were good, his tone was a bit mocking.
The taste, "Zhou Zhang and Zhou Zifeng! Brother Zhou just now said that he has the art of cultivating mulberry trees. If it is in his hands, the yield of any land can be increased by at least 10%! Hahahaha..."
Zhou Zhang took a hidden breath and said without changing his expression: "If you say something about increasing production by 10%, it's too little!"
Fu De looked Zhou Zhang up and down, blinked, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Zhou, this matter is nothing to laugh about..."
Zhou Zhang had discovered Fu De a long time ago. Seeing Fu De speak at this time, his heart actually jumped. Then he adjusted his mentality while raising his hands and saluting, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of farming and mulberry cultivation is about the country. Although I
Even if you are frivolous, you dare not speak nonsense!"
As if there was some tacit understanding, the scene suddenly became quiet. Fu De looked at Zhou Zhang quietly. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Shan! If Brother Zhou really has such great power, the imperial court will definitely use it! Come on, come on.
, congratulated by the great man, congratulated by your majesty, drink victoriously!"
