Chapter 2052: Offering rice to the front and deliberation later
"Haha, Brother Chen, are you okay..."
"Brother Wang Xian, how are you doing lately?"
"After today's grand party, how about I ask you to be your host?"
"Why bother Brother Chen, why should I invite you..."
"Hey, money is something external to the body, why bother with it so much! I'd better let my brother do it..."
"It's better for me to come..."
The noisy and lively sounds gathered in one place. Around the front square of the Hussar General's Palace, crowds of people gathered. Some were greeting each other, some gathered to discuss, and some stretched their necks to look around.
In the restaurants and bars facing the street, any place with a better view is basically occupied by children from various families, either leaning on the railings or leaning behind the windows, whether they are optimistic about the Xin family or not, and
People with whom the Xin family has some friendship, or those who have no friendship, are all here now.
Are you joining in the fun? China is not inferior to others in this regard.
After all, Xin's current move is undoubtedly adding another fire and a spoonful of oil to the dispute between "farmers" and "business" that had just subsided.
Although General Hussar previously said that both agriculture and commerce should be given equal emphasis and not be biased, many people still feel that these days, commerce is undoubtedly the icing on the cake, and food is the most important thing anyway, so now a representative of the Xin family has appeared to offer "sweet rice".
”, which is quite interesting.
What would the hussar general Fei Qian do?
After all, the Xin family is also an old-school Yingchuan family. Although the Xin family is not a serious character, there are already female officials here in Feiqian, and there is no strict rule in the Han Dynasty that women must cover their heads and faces.
, In fact, there was no such rule until the Tang Dynasty, so if Xin Xianying stepped forward to offer "sweet rice", no one would say that it was against the morals or anything.
Standing next to Xin Xianying was Wang Shu. Zhen Mi was invisible and did not come. Zhen Mi did not show up, so naturally there was Zhen Mi's consideration. Then Wang Shu's identity was similar to that of Xin Xianying. They were both Shandong nobles, so
It can't help but make some people think that from a certain perspective, this act of dedication seems to have some political implications...
Although Xin Xianying had seen some of the world, it was the first time that so many people were watching her, so she was still a little nervous. Her face turned red, from her cheeks to her neck, like a red apple. If it weren't for Wang Shu,
Standing next to him, he couldn't stand long ago, so he turned around and ran away.
Wang Shu seemed to have a more natural demeanor, and even had time to turn her eyes and look left and right. Perhaps in her opinion, these nobles who did not have much skill in their hands and feet, even if they were large in number, would not be able to compete with a group of weak-footed chickens.
He's almost the same kid, not threatening at all, so naturally he won't be nervous at all.
Think about it, if a person stands in front of a tiger or a wolf, or if he stands in front of a chicken, the level of nervousness will definitely be different.
Xin Xianying and Wang Shu were not very familiar with each other at first, that is, they only started to have some contact after Zhen Mi contacted them. But what is very interesting is that the two people get along more harmoniously with each other than with Zhen Mi.
.Especially when Xin Xianying discovered that Wang Shu had martial arts, she was even more impressed. If she hadn't felt that it was too painful to stretch her legs and muscles to learn martial arts, Xin Xianying would have worshiped Wang Shu as her teacher.
Wang Shu looked at Xin Xianying's red face and joked in a low voice: "Aren't you usually quite brave, but today it seems that your courage has shrunk? Haha..."
Xin Xianying muttered: "Can this be the same? Husband, the last time I saw Hussar...we were so far away, and this time I thought about dedicating it to Hussar with my own hands, just...ah, I'm even more nervous!"
what to do!"
"(ˉ▽￣~)Tch~~" Wang Shu said disdainfully, "What is there to be nervous about? Just think about it, Qiusi also has one head and one mouth, and he can eat the sweet rice in your hand on the spot.
?』
Xin Xianying couldn't help but keep her eyes on the sweet rice in her hand, and then imagined the hussar general chewing it, and couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Well, cough, cough, I... feel much better..."
"Speaking of which, maybe the Cavalry General will actually eat it on the spot..." Wang Shu rolled his eyes and added.
"Ah?" Xin Xianying was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little nervous again.
Because it is a public donation, it is not something that can be taken casually. After all, it has a certain political meaning. If you want to give something to an ordinary person and just put it down and leave, then it is obviously not possible.
So this kind of "dedication" is basically based on "tribute". Of course, it is not as grand as the "tribute" of real princes.
Maybe ordinary people don't have much feeling about offering or paying tribute, but in fact, in the minds of the nobles, the meaning of this kind of behavior is far greater than the value of the items to be paid.
The tributary system was formed between the central dynasty and the outer vassals. The emperor carried out direct administrative management in the central area of the country, and the rulers outside the direct area were ruled by the rulers of the outer vassals conferred by the Central Plains dynasty. The central dynasty and the outer vassals formed a mutual relationship.
This is a concept of "community" that says "the whole world is not the land of the king".
In the process of historical development and cultural dissemination, the centrally governed areas continued to expand. Many outer vassal areas gradually became part of China after accepting local Chinese social organizations and ideological and cultural concepts, and then new outer vassal areas would continue to be formed, that is,
The so-called "difference between Huayi and Hua".
Therefore, this time the Xin family's dedication was also considered by some people as a kind of weathervane. They even thought that this represented Shanxi overpowering Shandong to a certain extent. Therefore, after hearing about it, they hurriedly gathered to watch the ceremony and discussed it one after another, that is,
It's a very natural thing.
In the Hussar General's mansion, Fei Qian was listening to Wang Chang's report on the entire dedication incident.
Wang Chang is relatively young, and his contact level is also biased towards noble disciples, so he naturally has more information about this incident than others.
"My lord, the Zhen family is also involved in this matter..." Wang Chang said, "Someone vaguely heard in the past that Zhen, Wang, and Xin opened up fields outside the city and planted crops. I originally thought it was just a matter of leisure.
Wow, never thought of it..."
Pang Tong chuckled, "In this case, it can be considered a conspiracy..."
Sorghum, normally speaking, should mature in August or September. The earlier ones would be at the end of July, but now it is "dedicated" at the end of June. What is the purpose? Obviously, it is to catch up with this wave.
The heat of the "agricultural-business" debate...
Is there any other time that would be better than now? Even though the sorghum is not mature yet, you can't miss it when the time is ripe. Therefore, Zhen Mi and the other three people hurriedly selected a batch of sorghum that still looked like something.
Already.
The dispute between farmers and businessmen has attracted attention in itself. Now among the three of them, Zhenmi, Wang Shu and Xin Xianying, some are biased towards business, some are biased towards agriculture, and some are biased towards scholars. Now the three of them have done such a thing together.
Doesn't it mean that it just caters to the idea of "simultaneous development" proposed by Fei Qian before?
So Pang Tong said that these three people were playing dirty tricks, which meant that these three people were not afraid of the matter getting serious, or even being rejected by Fei Qian, because this was a matter that was on the table, and everyone got what they wanted.
Fei Qian couldn't help but shake his head and felt a little funny. This method of gaining popularity really has a long history, regardless of ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries...
Just like the marriage of the baby in later generations, some financial companies took advantage of it and published an article "In-depth analysis! Why can Mr. Ma withdraw money from the baby's card?", some trust companies took advantage of it and published "If Baby Wang Has a Family Trust", and even
There is also a certain treasure that is all-powerful, selling the same type of panties that Ma was caught raping at that time...
In the era of popularity, you can really eat anything, no matter if it is human blood steamed buns or human flesh steamed buns, you are all very happy eating it. On the other hand, looking at the current method used by Zhen Mi and the others to gain popularity, it is already very elegant. It can even be used
He said that he did a good job, because Fei Qian also needs such a publicity. Since it is a publicity, it doesn't matter who it is, whether it is Xin Xianying or Yingxianxin.
"Lord, everything is ready..."
Huang Xu walked in and said that the security work around Jiangjunfu Square had been completed.
Fei Qian looked around and laughed, "That's it, let's see each other!"
Outside the Hussar General's Square, the soldiers had already put on their full body armor, held up flags and banners, and stood tall and orderly. The Hussar General's ceremonial guard was the same as that of the Three Lords, plus there were additional favors bestowed by the Emperor of Han.
There are many kinds of ceremonial guards arranged in a row, which is very majestic. Starting from the vermilion gate of the Huqifu Yamen, they extend to the left and right sides. Scepters, swords, guns, painted shields and other ceremonial guards are all bright and bright, and then there is the Wei Dynasty.
Du Xu and Chu were guarded by two black iron towers on the left and right, and when a colorful canopy was raised high, both the participants and the spectators inside and outside the square could not help but stand in silence with bated breath.
"The great Han hussar general has arrived!"
Fei Qian walked out proudly, and behind him were the officials of the Hussar Mansion, including Pang Tong, Xun You, etc., who were arranged according to their shifts. When Fei Qian stood in the middle of the door, there were soldiers moving in unison, or striking the ground with spears.
Or they slap their scabbards on their shields and shout in unison: "Drink! Drink! The hussars will be victorious! The hussars will be victorious! The hussars will be victorious!"
The sound of shouting and shouting was filled with masculinity and murderous intent, uniform and uniform, and the sound shook the whole world.
Fei Qian nodded slightly, looked across the square, looked at Xin Xianying and Wang Shu standing at the other end of the square, and said, "Let's get started."
The sound of the golden drum rumbled with a unique rhythm, and amidst this rhythm, Xin Xianying raised her face, held a roll of wrapped sorghum, and walked forward slowly.
Xin Xianying's move caused the people around him to burst into cheers.
The cheers rang out from the Hussar General's Office Square, and spread throughout the city in the blink of an eye. People at the scene felt their eardrums buzzing, and the sound waves got louder and louder, even on the streets in the distance of Chang'an.
Pedestrians and shops in the alley couldn't help but stop what they were doing, looked up and asked each other what happened.
Those idle people who like the excitement clapped their thighs hurriedly, and then rushed here. Standing outside the crowd, they either straightened their necks and stood on tiptoes to look, or squeezed in hard, and then led
There were all kinds of dissatisfaction and curses.
In a daze, it was as if the entire city of Chang'an was agitated, watching this tribute, as if it was a festival that everyone could celebrate!
Xin Xianying was wearing a lady's skirt and walked slowly step by step to the steps of the Huqi Mansion Yamen. Anyway, she put aside all distracting thoughts at this moment. When she was about thirty steps away from the steps of Feiqian, the drums continued to beat.
After three quick blasts, it stopped.
There was silence all around.
Xin Xianying worshiped with a clear voice, "Ms. Xin, a daughter of the people, knows a little about farming and mulberry farming. She occasionally found fine seeds, sweet and sweet, sown in spring and harvested in autumn, so she got this good grain. This kind of food is not greedy for land power, does not choose barrenness, and is not afraid of drying up.
It does not harm the farmland. It can be planted in ridges in the field, on the walls of the courtyard under the house, or in a leisure place. It can make up for the spare time and increase the autumn warehouse. The women of the people do not dare to keep it privately, so they are dedicated to the hussars in front of them. They only wish that the country can benefit the country.
, Prosperity and prosperity forever!』
Fei Qian smiled slightly, stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to help Xin Xianying.
Xin Xianying saluted again, and then placed the bundle of sweet rice bundles wrapped in silk on the lacquer plate held by the waiter.
The waiter raised the lacquer plate high and turned around to where Feiqian was.
Fei Qian picked it up from the lacquer plate, and then raised the bundle of sorghum, "The great Han Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, and Yongle is yet to come!"
"Prosperity and eternal happiness are yet to come!"
"Yongle Weiyang!"
The cheers suddenly erupted from everywhere. Even the clouds in the sky seemed startled and hurriedly hid to the side, allowing the sunlight to shine down unimpeded, onto Chang'an City, and onto the Hussar.
General Fei Qian's body fell on the bundle of sorghum in Fei Qian's hand...
……(｀′)Ψ……
When Fei Qian met Xin Xianying, far south of Jingzhou, south of the river, between the two mountains, Han Xuan and Jin Xuan, who were Liu Biao's backup means, also met.
After Liu Biao was attacked by Jiangdong, he sent an urgent order to Han Xuan and Jin Xuan to send troops to attack the Jiangdong flank. This was a good strategy to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.
The sun is not bright, but it shines through the mountains and forests. Even though we have tried very hard, it is still not transparent, and there are still a lot of shadows swaying.
The camps of both sides were separated by a hilltop, with a few sloping trees and mottled light and shadow. It was on this hilltop that the two met. Soldiers from both sides stood on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain. Although the two sides were considered friendly forces on some levels, they were still more or less friendly.
Somewhat like facing a formidable enemy.
The greetings we exchanged for the first time stopped after a few words.
Although Han Xuan and Jin Xuan had smiles on their faces, their hearts were a little heavy. Even the smiles on their faces looked a little weird under the gloomy light and shadow.
Changsha and Wuling are next door neighbors.
Han Xuan was the governor of Changsha, and Jin Xuan was the governor of Wuling.
Han Xuan was a native of Changsha and a local aboriginal, while Jin Xuan was a naturalized Hu and a member of the Central Committee.
Although the two people were both subordinate to Liu Biao, they rarely met each other on weekdays. In addition, they came from different backgrounds, so naturally there was no friendship.
Two people who don't have much friendship on weekdays are now sitting together, and it is inevitable that they are a little embarrassed. Although distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, what if this neighbor is Lao Wang next door...
Han Xuan brought with him the native Changsha soldiers who followed him. Half of Changsha County was occupied by Jiangdong. If he could survive under Jiangdong's oppression, he could be regarded as having fought with his life on the tip of a knife. Naturally, he was not considered weak.
soldiers.
Under Jin Xuan, there are many hired barbarians who are originally licking blood with their swords. These people have long disregarded life and death. If battlefield discipline is put aside, these guys can be regarded as fierce and fearless, killing people like hemp.
Of course, these are the regular soldiers on the battlefield, the main force. As for the auxiliary soldiers, farmers and so on, they are just a make-up.
The silence between the two continued, and the embarrassment spread.
No one wants to take a stand first, and no one wants to reveal their own underwear first... uh, trump card.
Now that we are in a chaotic situation, although the two people have received the same order, they naturally need to discuss and discuss who is taking the lead and which way to go. Although the two are governors of the same place, no matter whether they are with the Central Plains
Compared with the prefects, or compared with the central counties of Jingzhou, Changsha and Wuling are somewhat insignificant. Whether it is military strength or economy, they cannot support too much consumption...
In addition, the two parties currently fighting are the old Liu Biao on the one hand, and the arrogant Sun Quan on the other. Han Xuan and Jin Xuan, who are mixed in between these two parties, will decide which path they will take.
The most difficult moment of decision!
Although Jin Xuan's ancestors are Hu people, after so many generations, he has actually become almost Chinese. If you look at his appearance carefully, he still has the look of a Hu person with deep-set eyes. Other than that, the rest is different from ordinary Han people.
Not too much, he was staring at Han Xuan at this moment.
In Han Xuan's head, various thoughts swirled and died, and then an idea gradually took shape in the middle, but it was so dangerous and bold that he did not dare to think about it deeply. Jiangdong soldiers' raid on Jingzhou meant that
Its focus must be on the north of the Yangtze River, while Changsha and Wuling are both in the south of the Yangtze River. If we say...
"I wonder what Jin Shijun is thinking right now?" Han Xuan took a slow breath, broke the silence, and asked.
Jin Xuan smiled, but looked a little enigmatic, "I was about to discuss something with Ambassador Han."
Han Xuan spoke slowly again, his tone flat, but his words were not weak at all: "Since Jiangdong invaded the country without any reason, we must not just sit back and watch!"
Jin Xuan nodded, "This is the right thing to do."
Then the two of them were stuck, and their eyes were rippling in the light and shadow, testing...
"Brother Han, please speak." Jin Xuan said with a gloomy smile, "I am all ears..."
"Uh..." Han Xuan waved his hand, "I'm just a few years older than Chi. Is it going to be a big deal now? I'd better listen to King Jin's opinion first..."
"How dare you..."
"You might as well..."
The two of them were embarrassed for a while, and finally Han Xuan clapped his hands and said, "It seems that Jin Shijun also has some ideas. Since it's not convenient to talk about it, how about everyone writing it down and showing it together?"
Jin Xuan also felt that procrastinating like this was not an option, so he nodded in agreement.
Immediately, they each took the wooden tablets with pen and ink, wrote and drew by the light of the fire, then put down the pens and held them in their hands, looked at each other, and then slowly turned them outward almost at the same time...
