Chapter 1985 The blind man touches the elephant, the secret of the hussar
Real meetings are often not as exciting as dramas.
Even a little cold.
Such as now.
Historically, Brother Zhu attacked and Xiao Lu suffered, but now, Zhuge is a passerby on the street, while Lu Su is in the court, with an official seal ribbon hanging around his waist.
Lu Su noticed Zhuge Liang, but he did not know Zhuge Liang. On the contrary, Chen Qun was too focused on his own sudden thoughts, so he did not disperse his energy when he left in a hurry. Naturally, he did not see the man standing across the street.
Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang knew Lu Su and Chen Qun, but Lu Su and Chen Qun did not know Zhuge Liang. Just like small people often remember the faces of big people, but big people may not be able to remember the faces of all small people. In fact, it is not a memory problem.
But most people’s eyes are located at the top, and it is instinctive to look upward.
Zhuge Liang is naturally a big figure in history, but he is just a young man now. Even a handsome young man wearing crescent white clothes only made Lu Su look at him once or twice, and then nodded slightly. As for talking?
Haha, this is not in line with the etiquette of the Han Dynasty. In later generations, many people borrowed money when they had just met or even before they met. However, the etiquette of the Han Dynasty had a word called "talking briefly and speaking deeply", and considered this extremely rude behavior.
So Lu Su just thought that this young man had a good appearance, so after signaling, he turned around and went to the restaurant.
Zhuge Liang looked outside the restaurant quietly, then looked in the direction Chen Qun was leaving, and finally turned around and left...
Zhuge Liang actually went to the market to find the answer.
Zhuge Liang has seen a lot in Chang'an these days, especially after Pang Tong said he was "wrong".
"How could I be wrong?"
Zhuge Liang muttered in a very low voice, unconvinced.
So Zhuge Liang has been looking for arguments that can prove him correct and refute Pang Tong.
The more he searched, the more unconvinced Zhuge Liang became, because the things he found did not seem to prove that he was right...
Because of the prosperity of commerce, the streets of Shifang have actually been modified by Fei Qianmo. Normally, ordinary people cannot walk in the middle of the streets in the Han Dynasty. They can only walk on both sides. If the people dare to walk in the middle, then
It is a crime of trespass. But in the market, because of the prosperity of commerce, if such a large area is left in the middle of the road, it will greatly hinder traffic, so Fei Qian simply left a very small lane in the road.
, just like the isolation zone in the middle of the road in later generations, except that there are no flower beds.
In this way, the roads on both sides are relatively loose, which neither violates the regulations of the Han Dynasty nor affects traffic.
Zhuge Liang looked at the small "isolation zone", then turned to look at the flow of business people passing by around him, watching the large and small packages of goods being bundled on vehicles or on horseback, and listening to the bargaining that sounded from time to time.
The voice made me sigh...
"Go back..." Zhuge Liang, who had been looking at the market for a long time, turned his head and said to the guards around him.
The guard took the order and immediately opened the way, knocking away a businessman who was blocking the road because he was too absorbed in bargaining to notice the movement around him, and almost knocked him to the ground.
Perhaps it was because he had received some unintended consequences at the square gate before, or perhaps the businessman was really in the way. Anyway, the guard did not issue a warning according to common sense, and his movements were correspondingly louder.
The businessman staggered to steady himself, the angry look on his face turned around, and then turned into a flattering look, and he nodded and bowed to apologize...
There was an inspection officer who happened to be walking by with some people on the road. The narrow road did not seem to affect the inspection team's new arrival. These inspection officers did not stop the guards who scolded Zhuge Liang for some serious actions, but just looked at them briefly.
He glanced twice and walked over.
"Interesting... let's go..." Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, walked forward slowly, and left the market.
Zhuge Liang went to see Guo Jia, Qinglong Temple, Guangwu Temple, and the market several times. He found that what he originally thought may not be right, but what Pang Tong said was also wrong...
The things Pang Tong said are all based on the hussar generals, and they are all attached to the system changes made by Fei Qian at the moment, just like the changes in the inspection at the square gate, which made Zhuge Liang and others wait, and the merchants
Go out first to make traffic flow smoothly, but what if there is another inspection, or there is no inspection at all?
On the street, one of his guards pushed a merchant, but didn't the patrol miss him?
Such a system is unstable, and naturally Pang Tong’s rhetoric cannot be fully established!
"Go to Pang Lingjun's house..." Halfway through, Zhuge changed his mind and wanted to have a good talk with Pang Tong again.
As a result, Pang Tong was not at home.
Zhuge Liang was a little confused, didn't he take a bath every five days? Calculated, it happened to be today?
When Pang Tong's concierge saw Zhuge Liang, he raised his hands and asked, "May I ask whether Zhuge Liang is in person?"
Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said, "That's it."
Pang Tong, the porter, bowed and said, "The master of the house has told me that if Zhuge Langjun comes, I will give you this gift..." and then took out a brocade bag.
Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows.
The kit is very hard to pinch, it doesn't look like a note or scarf.
When he opened it, he found that there was a wooden sign inside. There was a tiger's head on the front, the words "Han Hussar Mansion" in the square tiger's mouth, and a number on the back.
This is a temporary pass number plate for Qiusi Mansion. It is a one-time use and needs to be handed in when used.
Zhuge Liang understood.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang was in a daze holding the traffic number plate, the guard asked from the side: "Lang Jun, do you want to go to the Husband's Mansion?"
"Well..." Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, go back to your residence first..." He hadn't completely thought it through yet. It didn't matter to argue with Pang Tong. If he got in front of the hussar, he would still
Not ready yet, still need to sort out some ideas...
Zhuge Liang is not the only one who needs to sort out his thoughts.
Chen Qun, who had not long left Shifang, was also sorting out his thoughts.
Being able to think, and being able to think, this ability has always been considered by Chen Qun as the most basic criterion for a nobleman. In other words, a nobleman who can think is a qualified nobleman.
As for those guys who are nominally descendants of the gentry but can't think at all, Chen Qun believes that those guys are just fish and meat, just waiting to be killed. Therefore, the gentry descendants should be superior, as if they are the most important person.
It's like a head. If you chop off your head and you can no longer think, can you still be considered a human being?
But what did Chen Qun see today?
In the market place, the nobles' children actually gave way to the caravan?
No, it was the inspection under the Hussar, who actually asked the nobles to wait and let the caravan pass first. The key is that such behavior did not cause any strange reactions, which shows that in Chang'an, or in the Hussar
This is not the first time such a thing has happened on the territory, so naturally there is nothing surprising...
Isn't this strange?
In the Han Dynasty, when did the nobles give way to merchants?
It's like the head makes way for the toes, allowing the toes to grow on the neck. Isn't this strange and weird?
On the one hand, this matter made Chen Qun feel very incomprehensible. On the other hand, he vaguely felt that this might be the key to Fei Qian's business success...
How can this be?
Chen Qun gulped.
Let the siblings think, or let the people below think? For such a dangerous thing, didn’t Qiusi think about the consequences?
Although Chen Qun didn't know Mr. Lu's famous saying that when humans think, God laughs, but it didn't stop Chen Qun from feeling a little cold when he was thinking. Try to, or in other words, strictly prohibit the people below from thinking. This is not a superior person.
Is there a tacit understanding?
Because no matter what kind of thinking, the problem of people at the bottom will easily turn into a question, "Why me?"
I am the one who pays taxes, I am the one who works hard, I am the one who is oppressed, I am the one who is insulted, I am the one who is trafficked, deceived, fooled, etc., it is all me...
When the superiors saw this, they quickly shouted, don’t think about it, just do it! Execute it! Execution is the key! It’s useless to think so much! Anyone who has not worked in a grassroots position for more than ten or twenty years before handing out proposals will be treated the same.
Fired!
Then he changed his tone again, this is fate, this is blessing, er, karma, this is the loan you owe, um, wrong, it is sin karma, you always have to pay it back, right? You are the ones after all.
Blessed are you, what are you thinking about so much? Just do it well, eat, drink, and be happy, and you will pay back your pension in the future. What are you thinking about so much? Live in the moment and live happily, that's all.
What?
This opening cannot be opened...
Chen Qun was a little flustered.
Because just like masturbating, there are only the first time and countless times. After the first problem emerges, the second and third problems will gradually surface over time, sooner or later.
"Why not you?"
"How can I be you?"
For these two questions, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted, "Princes and generals, Xiang Ning has his own kind?"! And Liu Bang laughed and answered, "That's what a man should do!"
"How dare the hussar do this?" This question swirled in Chen Qun's mind, and then it instantly turned into another question, "What does the hussar want to do?"
"Wen Yi Ming Dao!"
These words suddenly popped up in Chen Qun's mind, then he stood up and pulled things aside to find the jade seal. Then he looked at the four words at the bottom of the jade seal and murmured again.
, "That's it, ha! That's it, hum! That's what it means..."
Chen Qun suddenly felt that he couldn't stay any longer and had to leave immediately.
The Cavalry General is a madman!
What's even more frightening is that there is a group of people who are crazy along with the madman!
"What is the "Ming Dao"? You can't have this kind of "Ming Dao"!" Chen Qun shuddered subconsciously and wanted to throw away the jade seal, but after thinking about it, he put the jade seal in the box and then fiercely
I pressed the lid on the box and wished I could put a seal on the mantra that I will deceive you into. Well, I wrote it wrong, it should be "Om Mani Padme Hum"...
Of course, if Chen Qun was a Buddhist, he would definitely do this, but unfortunately he was not, so he could only stuff the box at the bottom of his luggage in an attempt to minimize this danger.
On the other side, Lu Su didn't think there was anything scary about Fei Qian, and was even considering the possibility of Jiangdong copying Fei Qian's approach, because Lu Su and Chen Qun had different ideas.
What Lu Su saw was Hu Shang, and Lu Su thought that what Chen Qun saw was the same. Otherwise, why would there be a sudden look of surprise when the group of businessmen entered and exited the gate?
Speaking of which, Jiangdong really didn't pay much attention to Hu Shang...
Just like Lu Su originally thought there could be something over there with the Hu people?
How much is a pile of broken skin and hair worth?
Cattle and sheep?
Just like the Zhuanghe of the Han people, it is the lifeblood of the Hu people. If you want their cattle and sheep, you have to fight with the Hu people. Moreover, the cattle and sheep will only eat for a while. If you have land, Zhuanghe can be eaten for a year.
Another year?
So what is the value of barbarians and barbarians?
Well, it can’t be said that it is of no value. After all, Lu Su also knows that Sun Quan has a lot of fields, which are cultivated by these South Vietnamese barbarians...
But now Lu Su has seen that actually doing business with Hu Man seems to have many benefits...
But why weren't there these benefits before? Or maybe it wasn't as good as the Hussars here? Lu Su thought about the caravan in the market and had some thoughts in his heart.
Business and trade all need to be cultivated...
In the Jiangdong area, even the business activities with the South Vietnamese barbarians were very short-lived, and they could even fall out at any time. Therefore, the transactions between the two parties must be to exchange the most urgent needs and things recognized by the other party, so they are often
The value fluctuates greatly, and it is mainly concentrated on only a few commodities. It is not like here in Feiqian, where everything from life to production, from needlework to pottery bowls, is traded.
This is the key!
Lu Su sighed, "As expected of a hussar!"
What did Jiangdong gain from fighting the South Vietnamese barbarians? Although they captured some labor force, they left behind an irresolvable hatred. From time to time, the South Vietnamese barbarians would take advantage of Jiangdong's unprepared soldiers to raid checkpoints, rob caravans, and even try to
Invading cities, invading forts, etc., if the two sides meet outside, it is common for them to attack each other with swords and guns in the next moment.
When Lu Su was dealing with writing, he often received reports from below, such as where and when the barbarians raided them, or which strongholds were conquered, how many heads were captured, etc...
Therefore, the Jiangdong area under Sun Quan's rule was bordering the South Vietnamese barbarians, but it did not gain much benefit. It could even be said that it caused a lot of troubles. A large amount of manpower, material and financial resources were consumed every year to deal with these things.
However, Qiusi is here...
"Wonderful!" Lu Su couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised, "This is a strategy for advancing troops..."
Although Lu Su did not fully understand the meaning of the word "market", Lu Su realized that this was the most important thing. The Hussars defeated the Barbarians and conquered a Barbarian tribe, which was equivalent to opening up a market, and Jiangdong conquered the barbarians.
In South Vietnam, when you conquer a stronghold, in addition to reaping a lot of heads and paying a lot of rewards to the soldiers, the thing that falls most on your hands is hatred...
What if we follow the example of the Hussars General and change our thinking?
Lu Su muttered and gestured.
The items of the Han people are undoubtedly more refined and easier to use than any of the surrounding barbarians. Therefore, everything of the Han people has an inherent advantage and can defeat the weapons originally used by the barbarians.
As long as the price is right, Hu Man naturally hopes to use Han utensils, but then what?
The people who originally made these utensils among the Hu barbarians gradually disappeared. After all, their things were neither beautiful nor easy to use, so they either had to learn how to make them the same as the Han people, or they had no way of living. And so on.
These barbarians who were originally able to make some things were gradually either assimilated or died out, and then the barbarians were inseparable from the artifacts of the Han people...
Lu Su suddenly shivered, as if he was cold or excited. "This...this, this...is really too virile..."
Lu Su thought of the jade he got a few days ago. One piece was a jade block and the other was a jade seal.
Jade does not have much value in the Western Regions, or the value is not as great as in the Han Dynasty, but Qiaoqi got it and turned it into a jade seal. Is this worth it...
It turns out that "respect and understanding the slightest" is not the point!
The key point is jade, raw materials, products, and then the price difference!
At that moment, many things popped into Lu Su's mind. What was there in South Vietnam? There was wood, copper mines, iron mines, not to mention silver and gold. If Sun Quan sent someone to look for these things, he would probably only find a dozen or two.
It may not be found even in ten years, but the people of South Vietnam have lived there for generations. Many of them guard the minerals but have no ability to turn them into valuable things!
Hahaha, that’s it!
Lu Su couldn't help but start dancing.
Got it, learned it!
This is the secret of the Cavalry General!
Well……
Lu Su thought of another thing, and his expression immediately became a little depressed.
I'm afraid, Sun Erluzi may not be willing to do this...
It's very simple, because compared to the craftsmen who can make various utensils, the major families in Jiangdong are naturally the main force. How many are there under Sun Quan? If this method is followed, how much benefit can Sun Quan himself get? Obviously the big head
They would all be taken away by the Jiangdong family. How could Sun Quan agree to do it this way?
"Respect means knowing the subtle...respect means knowing the subtle..." Lu Su thought of the words on the jade seal, repeated it twice, and sighed. How is this jade seal meant for me? Doesn't it refer to Jingzhou?
Obviously he was talking about Sun Er, a fool...
But the problem is, according to Sun Er's stupid temper, it is impossible for Lu Su, and he does not dare to fully express the meaning he guessed to Sun Quan, and he even has to stand in Sun Quan's perspective to express it euphemistically and safely.
, take care of all aspects, and then express the meaning.
