Fei Qian sometimes feels very lonely, because he can only think about many things by himself. Even friends and subordinates like Pang Tong sometimes do not fully understand some of Fei Qian's ideas and thinking.
The Han Dynasty can be said to be a critical period for the formation and consolidation of the entire Chinese feudal society. During this period, the landlord class also formed its initial and final typical state.
Fei Qian thought about it carefully and found that the entire feudal landowner class was not a single type, but could be roughly divided into five categories. One was the old aristocratic landowners, and then there were the bureaucratic big landowners. These two categories were combined with power.
But the positions are slightly different and not exactly the same.
The other three types are relatively smaller, namely powerful landlords, industrial and commercial landlords, and small and medium-sized landlords. These three types overlap with each other and may even transform into each other. They are also more likely to be embezzled by larger landlords or be embezzled by larger landlords.
Defeated by ordinary force...
These five types of landlords all have the same unified characteristics of annexing land and acquiring population, but their external manifestations are different, and naturally they need to use different methods to deal with them.
The adjustment of feudal state policies affects the development of the landlord class, and the landlord class in turn affects the development and changes of the feudal state. At the beginning of the feudal unified country in the Han Dynasty, it was established by a group of small landlords who opposed the old aristocratic landlords.
, and then many of these people became new big landowners, and Liu Bang's sons became new aristocratic landowners. Then as time went by, these people became the objects of being overthrown.
Fei Qian smiled, all this was like reincarnation.
It cannot be said that these landlords have made no contribution to the whole of China's entry into the city, but with the emergence of the word "monopoly", only disadvantages remain.
The foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty was established by the powerful landlords, industrial and commercial landlords, and small and medium-sized landlords in Jizhou and Yuzhou. These landlords were originally in a non-ruling position and were the targets of suppression.
During Wang Mang's new dynasty, a series of reforms were carried out, and these reforms greatly damaged the interests of the landlords, arousing strong resistance from the landlord class, and ultimately led to the collapse of the new dynasty.
Therefore, the founders of the Eastern Han Dynasty were powerful landlords. Therefore, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the interests of powerful landlords were greatly expanded. At the same time, the Eastern Han Dynasty's control over local areas was actually worse than that of the Western Han Dynasty. Today, powerful landlords everywhere
Landowners cooperated with local governments, forming feudal feudal regimes.
Fei Qian himself is also one of them.
Fei Qian now represents the gathering of local powerful Yongbin small landowners who were rejected and abandoned by the Shandong gentry, plus the Shilin Group who was exiled to the frontier, and then Fei Qian joined and supported the military landlord class...
Comrade Wang Mang was too reckless. It was obviously unrealistic to eliminate all private ownership systems in the Han Dynasty. Therefore, breaking away from the landlord class and becoming landlords was an impossible task in the feudal dynasty. We could only follow the methods of great men and win over a group of people.
, attack one group and eliminate one group.
Among all categories of landowners, the ones that most need to be eliminated are the powerful landowners.
This is the conclusion Fei Qian finally reached after careful consideration.
At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Liu Xiu came to power with the support of powerful landlords, he also realized the dangers of powerful landlords, so after he unified the country, he began to "conquer the fields".
The so-called "Du Tian" is a thorough verification and cleanup of land and household registrations across the country. This is very useful for the country to understand the population distribution and tax management in various places. However, it has been resisted by powerful landowners because Du Tian is not only a measure of land.
The land of ordinary people must be measured, and the land of powerful landlords must be measured. Landowners who own large areas of land are naturally unwilling to measure their fields and declare their population truthfully. Especially in imperial towns, the officials responsible for land management are themselves powerful landlords, and
He is a referee and an athlete, how could he be willing to commit suicide?
Therefore, it cannot be promoted at all in Yuzhou, and there are even behaviors that deliberately expand the policy and arouse public anger. When measuring the land of ordinary people, it is not only the measurement of the land, but also the "public sharing".
The farmer's house and the various surfaces in front and behind the house must be included in the calculation, and then the farmer is asked to pay taxes based on this "public stall" data. Naturally, it aroused the anger of the people everywhere, and then the officials pretended that it was "bad government" and could not
Do it.
Such behavior naturally made Liu Xiu extremely angry, and he immediately sent people to severely punish these officials who had deceived their superiors. Except Liu Long, the governor of Nanjun, who was deposed as a commoner because he was the founding hero of the country, the rest, including the generals,
A total of more than ten people, including Situ, were all executed for their crimes.
According to some people's ideas, can the problem be solved by killing these people?
Then there was a co-acting rebellion. As soon as the Central Forbidden Army arrived, the "rebels" immediately dispersed. As soon as the Forbidden Army left, the "rebels" immediately appeared again...
Faced with this situation, Liu Xiu had no choice but to compromise and give in, and the matter of "doing land" was dropped.
Maybe Liu Xiu felt that he could leave such problems to his descendants, just like Liu Che solved the problems left by Liu Bang, but it is obvious that there are no talented descendants after Liu Xiu, and even more and more
weak……
Therefore, what Feiqian needs to focus on restricting are these powerful landowners, and now is the best time.
The entire powerful landowners in Longyou Pass had been defeated by others or self-destructed due to the previous Western Qiang Rebellion and the subsequent Dong Zhuo invasion.
A large-scale alliance of powerful landlords like Dong Zhuo's has been shattered and decayed over and over again, and it is difficult to take shape.
Therefore, after the deaths of Guanzhong Longyou, Dong Zhuo, Li Guo, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, basically the big and powerful landowners were basically gone, and what was left were some insignificant cats and dogs.
But Shandong is different. If nothing else, how much territory does the Xun family have in Yingchuan? How much territory does the Cao family occupy in Qiao County? Although there has been a dispute between Cao Cao and the two Yuans in the past two years, for the local powerful,
There is some impact, but it is not as traumatic as Guanzhong Longyou.
If Fei Qian wants to implement his own strategy, he will definitely encounter great obstacles in Shandong. It may not be like what Liu Xiu did back then. Even if he obeys the rule in name, once the fundamental interests are touched, the officials and local governments will act together.
Reproduce the scene of Liu Xiu's joining the field.
"Report!" A soldier came hurriedly and reported loudly, "General Taishi reports urgently!"
Fei Qian took the military report, glanced at it a few times, smiled, and said to Xu Huang, who came after hearing the news: "Guo Fengxiao has arrived in Xu County... so... let's go..."
So now, let’s let Guo Fengxiao replace Fei Qian to complete the task of swaying Shandong...
If Fei Qian and others don't leave, how can they make the people in Shandong feel at ease?
If these people in Shandong can't rest assured, how could they reveal their flaws?
……╰(‵□′)╯……
Winter is coming.
Guo Jia was riding on a canopy carriage, and a group of people moved forward slowly. Pedestrians on both sides of the street stopped when they saw him. Some bowed their hands and saluted Guo Jia, while others looked at him with cold eyes and contempt.
There are different opinions on Guo Jia's return, with mixed praise and criticism.
Guo Jia raised his head and looked up. The cold wind swept in from the north, blowing the flags around Cao Cao's government office and roaring fiercely, as if a pair of invisible hands were tearing apart, trying to destroy the logo that represented the Cao family.
Inside the window lintels of street storefronts and in the street corners and alleys, there are faint sounds of chirping.
"You still have the nerve to come back...tsk tsk..."
"Isn't that right? I'm sure I'll hook up with Qiusi..."
"Look, I actually gained weight from eating! Look! Isn't this proof?!"
"You have simply lost the face of the people of Yingchuan!"
"Since you have been captured, you should die to show your determination, so that you can show your true nature as a hero! Now you are just returning, and you are boarding a fancy car and swaggering through the city. It is simply a decline in the world..."
"What Brother Shi said is so true, so true..."
"Now that the imperial court has collapsed, the scholars are cowardly, and the people are in dire straits, the three princes cannot escape the blame! Alas! It's a pity that although our people are full of blood, they can't be used! It's sad and deplorable!"
"Why not?! Now, with such a flattering villain in power, how can you and I be considered gentlemen?"
"The craftsmanship of fixing the customs of the time is clever, and the rules are followed to correct the mistakes. I carry the rope and ink to chase the tune, and I compete with the Zhou Rong to save it. The depressed city is full of shackles, and I am alone and impoverished at this time...what can I do, what can I do!"
Words in the wind are like swords.
Although it is not said that people will die on the spot, the knife cuts into the heart, and the blood and flesh are blurred, which is too horrible to watch. Kill men for losing their integrity, kill women for losing their virginity, kill the old for not loving the young, kill the young for disrespecting the old, anyway
It's all about them, and they don't have to take any responsibility. Naturally, they can be as vicious as they are, and as cruel as they are. Even if they are proven wrong afterwards, they can openly show that they are upholding justice and have feelings.
And what is wrong with hair?
The sound of cars on the bluestone board was loud.
Guo Jia looked around and felt that despite the familiarity, there seemed to be a bit of unfamiliarity.
When I was in Xu County, I didn't have much experience with it, but now after a trip to Guanzhong, I suddenly felt the difference.
As for a simple right of way, in Chang'an, Guanzhong, there are patrols patrolling day and night, so the ground is clean and the streets are smooth. Even the children of the gentry sometimes need to give ordinary people under the inspection schedule.
The people gave way, making the roads and everything seem to be full of order. In Xu County, it was the government officials who crushed people to death. Just like Guo Jia's group of people and horses moving forward, all the pedestrians and vehicles around them
The horses must give way and then crowd the streets and alleys...
Is this good or bad?
Guo Jia doesn't know, maybe he doesn't want to know.
Guo Jia just knew that this time Cao Cao made him ride through the city in such a grand manner in order to collect the effect of the horse bones. And he was the horse bone worth thousands of gold.
So, should Guo Jia be happy now, or should he feel honored?
The general's palace was right in front of him, and Dian Wei came forward to greet him.
Guo Jia got out of the car and slowly walked into the General's Mansion under the protection of Dian Wei...
Cao Cao is sitting at the top, with Xiahou Dun on the left. In order to attend this important meeting, Xiahou Dun rushed back from Xiangyang, and the responsibility for the defense of Jingzhou was given to Cao Ren.
Sitting on the right side of Cao Cao is Zhao Rong. Zhao Rong is a veteran. Zhao Rong, also known as Zhichang, is from Hanyang County, Liangzhou. He was one of the "Eight Captains of Xiyuan" together with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and served as one of them.
"Assisting Military Colonel", so appearing here naturally represents the old-school generals under Cao Cao.
Further down, there are pro-Cao factions like Xun You and Man Chong, as well as royal descendants of the Liu family like Liu Ye and Liu Ruo, as well as ordinary officials and generals like Lu Zhao and Wang Yan, and even Zang Ba and the like.
The role of local princes under Cao Cao's rule.
It can be said that Cao Cao's meeting was aimed at a very wide range and involved many factions. It had only one purpose, which was to take this opportunity to stabilize each faction and at the same time boost the morale of the military.
In the repeated battles between Cao Cao and Fei Qian, Cao Cao did not receive the ideal results, and was even passive in many cases. Although Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others tried their best to cover up the good news and deliberately selectively reported good news but not reported it.
Worry, but the Shandong nobles also have their own spies, and sometimes Cao Cao and others can hide it even if they want to.
Therefore, in the entire area ruled by Cao Cao, doubts about Cao Cao have become more and more intense. This situation is of course very unfavorable to Cao Cao's rule. In order to change this situation, Cao Cao specially convened such a meeting to let "
Guo Jia, who is well versed in the reality of the Qiusi, spoke as a representative and elaborated on the argument.
Guo Jia paid homage to Cao Cao and greeted everyone, and then stood in the hall. Facing the eyes of everyone who looked at him with scrutiny, concern, doubt or expectation, he raised his head and slowly opened his mouth.
"The toes of the Lin are vibrating the young master, and the Lin is sighing."
Lin Zhiding, Zhenzhen Gong's surname, Yu Linxi.
The horn of the lin invigorates the clan, and the lin comes to the rescue!"
"Everyone knows the beauty of the Lin, but..." Guo Jia looked around and said, "While hunting in the wilds in the west, the chariot of the Shusun family caught the Lin, thinking it was unknown, and gave it to the people of Yu. Zhongni looked at it and said
, "Lin Ye." Then take it...』
"Is it because Lin is not Lin? It's because of the obstruction of his eyes! When Jia Li returned from Xijing, he had many impressions. Looking at the people in Shandong today, it is like people who don't recognize Lin, think it is unknown, and abandon it to Yu
, Isn’t it strange? Everything in the world has its own length, just like a toe, how can any of them be equal? Then there are stupid people who use shortness to seek longness, but they can also get it?"
Guo Jia took the lead at the beginning. After all, most people present believed that he represented the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, while Qiusi Feiqian was an evil person. Therefore, Guo Jia's talk about the beauty of the unicorn immediately gained unanimous approval.
Guo Jia took advantage of the situation and entered the topic, "Jia Tie thought that the Hussars had six defeats and Ming Gong had six victories. Although the Hussars are strong now, they can't do anything in the end!"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked his beard, "Please tell me as a filial piety!"
Guo Jia cupped his hands, then took a breath, looked at the people around him, and said, "Ming Gong hoped that there would be millions of descendants from Ji and Yu, but Qi Qi Yong and his people were scarce. There are good and bad in acquiring land. This is the victory of the powerful!"
』
"The Duke of Ming Dynasty supported the emperor in Xu, and the hussars issued fake edicts to Yong. There was a distinction between superiors and inferiors. This is the victory of justice!"
"The Duke of Ming governs the government with clear knowledge and system, but the hussar has urgent orders and cunning laws are mixed up, leaving the people at a loss as to what to do. This is the victory of governance!"
"These three victors are just like Liu Xiang. Even though the Western Chu army is victorious, if there is one defeat, it will be like a mountain! What's more, the gains of Ming Gong are far better than the hussars. It's a pity that mediocre people don't know it, just like they don't know Lin.
Also, if you don’t keep it, it will only increase the morale of others!”
Guo Jia slowly looked at everyone, then he made eye contact with Cao Cao, turned away again, and continued, "Under the hussar, there are more Lushan. Count them with your fingers. It's just Pang Huangzhi."
In this generation, it is difficult for someone with a foreign surname to ascend to a high position! However, here, Ming Gong seeks talents from far and wide, and hopes to include all the young people from Hebei, Henan, and Xu. There is no limit, and good talents can be used by themselves! This is what people can win!"
The "three wins" mentioned by Guo Jia before were basically more biased towards the "virtual" aspect. Now that he talks about "human victory", it really points to some specific issues.
In terms of the number of noble sons, Cao Cao did have an absolute advantage.
Everyone knows this and recognizes it.
In the past two hundred years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of gentry children have indeed been cultivated in Jizhou and Yuzhou. In addition, the number is several times greater than that of Chang'an Sanfu and Beilongyou. So I heard Guo Jia said this
, they all nodded and showed some smiles.
Guo Jia paused for a moment, and then continued, "Although the hussars are strong, they are lacking. The land is vast and all need to be defended. Hu and Han people live together, and it is easy to cause chaos. If you are not careful, it will be a matter of Beigong."
The rebellion of the Western Qiang reappears! On the contrary, Ming Gong is kind and can't bear to be impoverished. Although he occasionally loses, it is difficult to shake the fundamentals. Therefore, when he is in chaos, he can march forward with his army and seize it directly at the pass! This is a special victory.
also!"
"The Qiaoqi attach great importance to commerce and trade. They carry goods from east to west and travel north and south. Although they gain a temporary profit, they sacrifice their roots for the sake of the end. They attach great importance to farming and mulberry trees and do not pursue false beauty. They encourage reclamation and re-cultivation of wasteland.
After a little time, the warehouses will be full, the food and fodder will be full, and you can attack and defend without any worries. This is the ultimate victory!"
"Although the cavalry is strong now, it can't last long. What happened when the Dong thieves ran rampant in Heluo? Even if Ming Gong suffered a small setback, it did not damage the foundation. He just needs to wait a little longer. If he accumulates thick and thin, he will eventually win.
Yes!" Guo Jia said loudly, looking around, "Everyone, do you think this is true?"
Cao Cao laughed loudly, clasped his hands and said, "With these words of filial piety, all your worries will go away!" Then he asked Guo Jia to return to his seat with a smile, and then looked at the others, "Everyone, if you have any worries, you might as well tell them!"
Under such circumstances, of course no one is stupid enough to jump out and play against Cao Cao. Moreover, what Guo Jia said is not completely unreasonable. It also alleviates these people's anxiety about the current situation to a certain extent. They feel that
Boss Cao still has certain advantages here, and it is not that he has no chance to fight, so everyone looked around and praised Guo Jia for his far-sighted vision and insight. Then they praised Cao Cao and said how confident they were to follow Cao Cao.
words...
Cao Cao smiled and nodded. Seeing that no one had any other questions, he said: "Now that we have been fighting for years, the soldiers and the people are exhausted! The sky has the virtue of good life, and the earth has the meaning of richness, so we should cultivate our voice and stop fighting for the time being. Therefore, a certain
When negotiating peace with Qiaoqi, you are not afraid of it, but you cannot bear to go against the will of heaven and earth! However, it is really hateful for Xiaoxiao to deceive people's hearts and slander the people of the city!"
"Now Fengxiao has caught a glimpse of the hustle and returned, which is really a blessing!" Cao Cao raised his hands, "A special banquet will be held for Fengxiao to wash away the dust! All the ministers can drink as much as they want, and they will not return until they are drunk!"
Everyone responded one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively...
