Chapter 1950 Internal and external roads, internal and external allusions
The third year of Taixing.
winter.
As the twelfth lunar month approaches, Fei Qian in Chang'an has gradually entered a new strategic layout stage.
Regarding how to deal with the so-called "orthodox" regime in Xu County, Fei Qian has also discussed it with Pang Tong, Xun You and others. Everyone has the same opinion. They all think that there is no need to put too much emphasis on it for the time being, but they cannot relax in the long term. After all, Fei Qian is now
It is equivalent to blocking all kinds of Qiang and barbarians in the north, and there are no foreign enemies in the Central Plains of Shandong, so you can easily save money. You still can't make up the gap with Feiqian in two or three years, but if you say ten years, or even longer
, then it’s hard to say.
Fei Qian did not express any specific attitude towards these judgments. After all, the current history has changed a lot. Fei Qian, like most people in the Han Dynasty, does not know the future development, although he has some experience in later generations.
blessing, but it does not mean that these experiences can be used in the Han Dynasty, and there are still some problems of acclimatization.
Historically, Cao Cao has fallen into internal strife since he annexed Yuan Shao. It can even be said that from the beginning, Cao Cao's internal disputes have never been settled. It turns out that these Shandong bureaucrats have their own selfish motives and are at odds with each other.
It is also true that internal fighting is true for insiders and external fighting for outsiders. In history, even the suppression of the Wuhuan rebellion, as well as war horses and superior Qiang and semi-Qiang people, all required Cao Cao's personal dispatch.
It was not until Cao Cao killed most of the Qingzhou soldiers in the Battle of Chibi that he could no longer suppress these hills, and he never left Xudu for the rest of his life.
Although among the Three Kingdoms, Wei has the most talented people and a large number of officials, from the beginning to the end, it was the Cao family and the Xiahou family who fought on the front line, while others sat back and enjoyed the results. By the time the Cao family and the Xiahou family were almost done fighting, the elites were all
After dying on the battlefield, the rest are naturally mentally retarded.
So in fact, the key points of Xu County's political power are the Cao family and the Xiahou family. The rest is really not enough to discuss.
Even the Sima clan, who seized the power of the Cao clan later in history, was very accurate in quelling civil strife. Even attacking his own Sima could be said to be vicious and tough, but when it comes to foreign enemies...
Of course, even if the impact of the Little Ice Age is taken away, and the losses to the Central Plains during the Three Kingdoms period are deducted, the descendants of the Sima family are obviously worse than the descendants of the Cao family? Is this something that can be concluded? After all, the Jin Dynasty
From the moment he fled south, he was already a fighter among the rubbish. Although he looks good on the outside and maintains his clothes and so on, he is essentially rubbish...
The only problem Fei Qian is worried about now is the traffic problem.
In the traditional concept of people of the Han Dynasty, there is only Longyou outside Guanzhong, and Bingzhou in the north is also barren. The only wealthy lands owned by Fei Qian are Guanzhong and Sichuan, and Hanzhong can only be regarded as half of it. And the Central Plains of Shandong Province
? Almost all are large counties in the traditional sense, with large populations and dense resources.
So although Fei Qian is now a strong military force, there are still some people, especially the Shandong nobles, who think that Fei Qian cannot last long. After all, no matter what he does, he needs the support of the population. Without an abundant population, Fei Qian will be very powerful.
Maybe it's just a flash in the pan and the good times don't last long.
Therefore, if Feiqian wants to connect the Western Region and control Jiaozhou in the south, it must first solve the transportation problem.
However, before solving the traffic problem, the profit problem must be solved.
When Fei Qian was in the Northland, why the road construction and repair work could be so fast? It was because Fei Qian linked roads and interests in one place. Merchants needed better roads to transport goods, and nobles needed to repair roads to gain reputation, so they joined forces.
Next, the roads that were originally abandoned and semi-paralyzed were quickly renovated and reinforced.
But now, the two arteries that Fei Qian wants to open extend to territories that did not originally belong to the Han Dynasty. Well, strictly speaking, this is not the case, because only the Han Dynasty truly opened up the four directions of east, west, north, south, and later dynasties,
Basically, they only maintained the Western Region. As for the three regions of Jiaozhi, Beimo, and Liaodong, either only one could be preserved, or some simply lost them all, and even the Western Region could not be preserved.
Speaking of Liaodong alone, as early as the time of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, King Lu Wan of Yan betrayed the Han Dynasty and went to the Xiongnu to escape. Wei Man also went with him and led more than a thousand people into the Korean Peninsula. After that, Wei Man summoned the Qi State and the Warring States Period
The exiles from the Yan Kingdom formed an army, overthrew King Jun of ancient Korea, and captured the capital of ancient Korea, Wangjian City, and became the king of Korea.
After Weiman came to the throne, he re-established the Korean court and imported the culture of the Central Plains, making the country of Korea more and more powerful. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that Weiman Korea was a growing threat to the Han Dynasty, and later decided to launch an expedition to Korea. After two years,
At that time, Weiman Korea was destroyed. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty divided the territory of Weiman Korea into four counties, namely: Lelang County, Zhenfan County, Lintun County and Xuantu County, collectively known as the Four Han County.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty's arrangement of counties in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula changed somewhat. In the fifth year of Emperor Zhao's first year, Lintun and Zhenfan counties were removed and merged into Lelang and Xuantu counties. As for Lelang County,
It is Pyongyang in today's Korea, and has jurisdiction over the Bian, Woju and other ethnic groups. The seat of Xuantu County was originally in Fuzu, which is now Xianxing, Korea. Later, it was moved to the northwest of Goguryeo due to the invasion of Bong. It is now in the east of Liaoning and has jurisdiction over Goguryeo and Fuyu.
Equality clan.
In a sense, from the Qin to the Han Dynasty, many people in the court were looking into the distance. When there was not enough land, they expanded outwards. When the population was insufficient, they plundered outwards. When resources were lacking, they looked outwards.
Therefore, the Han people once broke out of the Central Plains, broke out of their comfort zone, and went to explore a deeper and broader world.
But unfortunately, the corruption of the central court in the Han Dynasty and the annexation of large amounts of land by nobles and landlords caused internal problems, interrupted the process of outward exploration, and stopped China's outward steps...
In addition to external traffic problems, there are also some problems with Feiqian's internal connections.
At this stage, Cao Cao is almost the same as Fei Qian. He can still only be regarded as a grass-roots team, a small group that is a combination of regional nobles. In addition, Cao Cao is also a very suspicious person. He firmly holds power and refuses to
Granted easily, the contradiction is not small. The Cao family and the Xiahou family are united, and the rest of the gentry from all over the country are also standing together according to their regions. And this kind of grouping of Chinese people is wrong, it is the same strain, and Fei Qian is not exempt from it.
There is a factional struggle on Cao Cao's side, and there are some signs of it here in Fei Qian. The so-called "fellows' association" seems to be gradually forming.
Because of the national policy of the Eastern Han Dynasty, 70% of the current gentry descendants are in the Central Plains, and 30% of them are in Sanhe, namely Yuzhou in Henan, Jizhou in Hebei, and Sili in Hanoi. Strictly speaking, the foundation of the gentry in Shanxi is not very good, although there are also some famous families.
Aristocratic family, but compared with the children of Sanhe, there are still some differences.
The same is true for Fei Qian. Those from Guanzhong, Sichuan, Shu, Hedong, and Jingxiang are all in a mess. In addition, Fei Qian consciously keeps adding sand to the gentry, absorbing a large number of children from poor families to serve as various
Envoys, agricultural and engineering bachelors, etc., so that the phenomenon of grouping based on region in Feiqian is even more obvious than that in Cao Cao's place.
According to the feedback from the Mo family's probes, various large and small regular and irregular gatherings have been formed around Chang'an. The largest one is naturally the Hanoi Gang of the old fox Sima Hui.
Even Pang Tong naturally became the leader of the Jingxiang Sect. From time to time he would attend this or that banquet, which made Pang Tong seem to start preparing for a new chin.
And it is not easy to change the status quo.
Yuan Shao chose balance, just like a scale, adding some weights here and there, but in the end there was no problem at both ends of the scale, and the scale itself was crushed.
For Cao Cao, it was like a hanging scale. The Cao family and the Xiahou family were the weights. When the weights could not hold down other nobles, there was a natural "bang" sound and the whole thing broke.
Sun Quan threw away all the scales in an attempt to make it the largest weight and mix it into the other weights. However, those Jiangdong weights said that the Sun family's scale was fake, made of cast iron, and easy to rust.
, and Jiangdong is made of bronze, which is truly authentic...
Therefore, he could neither make a scale nor a weight, nor could he turn himself into a weight. Fei Qian had to consider a new way to deal with the relationship between the nobles.
The external roads were used to connect the Western Regions with Jiaozhi, or even more far-reaching areas, while the internal channels were used to connect various noble families and common people.
Although Fei Qian has been laying out Shi, agriculture, industry and commerce for a long time, the "Shi" area is really too big and hard to chew. What Fei Qian never expected was that the first sound of digging and opening these roads, that
The falling pickaxe was actually wielded by Xu County first...
……?(*–-)?^……
Guo Jia had already arrived in Chang'an, but as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he claimed that he was not feeling well due to the long journey, and then huddled in the post house, sleeping, eating and playing beans every day, putting on a non-violent and non-cooperative posture.
Guo Jia's current state is similar to the historical, er, wrong, similar to the state of Xu Shu in Cao Ying in the novel. Guo Jia neither wants to come up with ideas for Fei, nor can he get rid of his imprisoned and restricted identity, so naturally
Just hide in the small building and become one, and don't care about the spring and autumn outside the window.
However, it is winter now.
Winter carries the cold wind and involuntarily erodes from the north. It kicks Autumn in the butt, kicks it away, and then laughs and swells with its waist.
Therefore, even if Guo Jia could ignore the spring and autumn, he could not avoid winter, just like if Fei Qian really wanted to find him, he could not avoid it.
"Following the filial piety is such a leisurely thing!" Fei Qian chuckled and walked straight ahead without waiting for Guo Jia to say some polite words of welcome.
Guo Jia looked at the door of the small courtyard of the post house, then rolled his eyelids and looked at Fei Qian, and cupped his hands with a decadent look. It was regarded as a courtesy to Fei Qian. Of course, if this was among those who followed the rule of law,
In the eyes of those who are familiar with the etiquette of the gentry, such a casual move is enough to immediately trigger Wu Mingye Huo, who thinks Guo Jia's move is an insult...
Fei Qian smiled and didn't say anything.
Fei Qian sat down, straightened his robe a little, and then said with a smile, "Do you blame me?"
Guo Jia was stunned, couldn't help but sit up straighter, and looked at Fei Qian.
This is a very interesting sentence. On the surface, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, and it even fits the current situation. But in fact, this sentence is not that simple.
Many people think that the use of various allusions among the gentry children is just a way for the gentry children to show off, but in fact this is only a very small part of the reason. It can even be said that only immature gentry children
Only then will they deliberately use some weird allusions to show off their talents and knowledge. More often, this kind of allusion is a kind of test for both parties, a kind of speech without showing embarrassment.
After all, when you see a beautiful woman, you go up and say that I am a tough guy, or that I am a pheasant in Hezhizhou. It is obviously different. Even if the other party refuses, it will not leave a rude image.
At the same time, many allusions have their own background and historical development process. Being able to tell the story of allusions must have some concepts and opinions about historical events. This ability will be more important among the children of the gentry, because
Regardless of whether they are rulers or family heads, they all hope that their children will be people who know how to think from books and understand them comprehensively, instead of just memorizing things by rote and then hearing what others say and saying, "I understand, I understand."
The guy who says "you don't have to say that".
Therefore, it has become a very natural thing for the children of the noble clan to use allusions in daily life.
What Fei Qian said sounded ordinary, like asking Guo Jia if he had any complaints or resentments after being imprisoned here. But in fact, this sentence was not Fei Qian's first.
, but came from the Spring and Autumn Period, and were words spoken by the King of the Communist Party of Chu when he was bidding farewell to Zhi Feng.
Guo Jia was silent for a long time, then sighed slightly and whispered: "We can't compete with Jin."
Fei Qian couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Zhi Feng, whose courtesy name is Ziyu, also known as Xun Feng, is a descendant of Xun Xi, a senior official of the Jin Dynasty. He was the commander-in-chief of the Central Army during the reign of Duke Dao of the Jin Dynasty. During the Battle of Bi, Xun Feng was captured by the Chu army.
There were a total of five dialogues between the King of Chu and Xun Feng. The first sentence was what Fei Qian said. Then Xun Feng gained the respect of the King of Chu with his outstanding eloquence, and then the King of Chu finally sighed: "The Jin Dynasty is not good enough."
and fight.”
Fei Qian said the first sentence, and Guo Jia answered the last sentence. They are both the same story, but have different meanings. Fei Qian used the original meaning to metaphor Guo Jia, while Guo Jia used exclamation to respond to the situation.
The reason why Xun Feng was able to go back was not due to Xun Feng's efforts alone, but to the combined factors of his father's operation and the internal ministers of the Chu State, and even related to the stunning beauty Xia Ji, so ten years after the Battle of Bi
, then there is hope for Xun Feng’s return...
So Fei Qian's meaning is very obvious.
Then Guo Jia's emotion means that "Jin" is now divided into two parts. Taiyuan Shangdang belongs to Fei Qian, and Jizhou belongs to Cao Cao. Therefore, "Jin cannot be competed with." Who can truly be regarded as "Jin" in the end?
, or between "not possible".
At the same time, Fei Qian also used this allusion to explain that Xun Feng only got a glimmer of hope to return ten years later. What about you, Guo Jia? You can escape the first day of the Lunar New Year but not the fifteenth. How can you spend so much time in the post house?
What do you mean?
While Guo Jia refuted and responded to Fei Qian's words, he also said that he did not want to "fight", so he was in the post house and did not want to wade into troubled waters.
Fei Qian waved his hand and did not continue to argue with Guo Jia about this allusion. Anyway, using this allusion is just an appetizer. The more important thing is still to come. Fei Qian motioned to the guard to open the jar of wine he brought, and then said
: "A certain person who heard Wen Ruo and Zhang Wen came to the emperor to make plans for the examination. When spring comes, he went to various places to examine the candidates and select talented people..."
Guo Jia was already drooling due to the aroma of the wine. When he heard Fei Qian's words, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, and then his saliva almost flowed out. He quickly slipped back and subconsciously said: "That's not the case."
...』
Guo Jia quickly glanced at Fei Qian and swallowed the second half of the sentence mixed with saliva.
Fei Qian nodded and said: "Just as Feng Xiao said, Wen Ruo will definitely send the "Xijing Examination" to Chang'an!"
Guo Jia still grunted and muttered in his heart, what did I say? I haven't said anything yet, okay? But on the other hand, he couldn't help but admire Fei Qian's political acumen, and he immediately grasped the problem.
fundamental.
During this period, Fei Qian used the examination method to select talents, and Xun Yu, on the one hand, imitated it, and on the other hand, he also stumbling upon Fei Qian. When the so-called "examination" method was passed by the emperor of Xu County, then
The emperor issued an edict to send "Kaozheng" to various places, and Xun Yu naturally sent a "Kaozheng" to Chang'an.
Of course, such an "examination" does not expect to actually get Fei Qian's permission to implement the examination system and deliver talents to Xu County in Chang'an. It is purely to hinder Fei Qian's Chang'an examination. If Fei Qian refuses,
If there is a "correct examination", then some nobles who do not want to take the exam will be given an excuse to say that Fei Qian does not abide by the rules and regulations of the court. How can we ask the children to abide by Fei Qian's system?
If Fei Qian insists on taking exams to select talents, it will conflict with the court's "correct examination". Even if Fei Qian does not allow the examiner to take a public examination, he cannot avoid the official announcing his so-called "correct examination" results in private.
, it is conceivable that there will definitely be big differences, causing more confusion and trouble.
What is the saying in later generations?
Go your own way, uh, go the way of others, and then leave others with nowhere to go...
That's probably what it means.
Guo Jia looked at Fei Qian with a curious look.
Fei Qian smiled and pointed at the wine bowl in front of Guo Jia.
Guo Jia lowered his head and looked at the wine bowl.
In the wine bowl, the color of the wine is like amber, with a soft luster and a mouth-watering aroma.
This is a fine wine. It is brewed by mixing corn and rice as raw materials, and then adding some special things. It is called "Tumei Fragrance".
Guo Jia rolled his eyes, his expression suddenly changed, and then he suddenly raised his head to look at Fei Qian. His expression of looking at the fun at first turned into surprise, and finally turned into a bit of fear...
