As soon as the Eastern Han Dynasty came, the treatment of the nobles became more and more generous. Although it was still called the Han Dynasty, it was actually completely different from the original Western Han Dynasty. Although the gap between civil and military officials was not as outrageous as that of later generations, there were some differences.
Apparently, the phrase "a martial artist" often lingered on the lips of the gentry's children.
Starting from Liu Xiu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so many emperors came down, and the favor and preferential treatment given to the gentry children continued to increase. Once this kind of preferential treatment increased, it was difficult to reduce it. In the eyes of the gentry children, they were the best in the world.
Master, warriors can only be used to guard the border, and emperors are used to deceive. They have their own say in everything, and ordinary people can just obey and obey the orders of the scholar-bureaucrats.
Therefore, the behavior of hoarding and speculating on high food prices is actually not something that Feiqian only has today. The "Legalization Method" has been proposed as early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, after it was implemented, the nobles were able to use this original method.
Measures to suppress food prices have become a source of profit for everyone involved...
From a certain perspective, the current official and gentry system of the Han Dynasty is actually not huge. The overall official system of about 1-2% is not something that the country cannot afford. However, there is still the problem of redundant officials, which is not an absolute number.
To some extent, it's because these officials basically don't do anything specific. If there are a few officials who can be said to take care of the people and do something practical for the local area, they will be praised to the sky!
Therefore, the trend of self-promotion in terms of political achievements continues to flourish. Even big things can be boasted among the nobles for a while, but those who really concentrate on doing things have no time to flaunt themselves. As a result, the more capable they are, the higher their official positions will be.
, the more you concentrate on doing things, the more your official position becomes smaller and smaller...
The key point is that this official who is used to bragging takes the bragging content as truth! He really thinks that he has done so many things, worked hard for the big man and died exhausted...
Wei Duan looked at the group of guys in the hall, with a hint of evil in his eyes.
The most annoying thing for a fence-sitter is to be regarded as a fence-sitter. Just as the most annoying thing for people who like to jump in line is for others to jump in line, Wei Duan also doesn't like to be regarded as a fence-sitter by others.
It is not without reason that Wei Duan has been able to stand in Guanzhong for such a long time. How can it be easy to assess the situation and deal with it in the middle? Now these guys are asking Wei Duan to come forward and help these guys.
I don’t know where the confidence and face come from when people ask for mercy to relieve their guilt.
As a famous surname in Guanzhong, Weishi is naturally clear about the business. It is not wrong to go low, go high, do some fancy things, and earn the difference. Everyone does this.
But not everything everyone does is right.
It's like a swarm of people running a red light to cross the road...
Crossing the road by running a red light is indeed not a big deal. If you are caught, you will be given a verbal education, and at most you will be fined three to five yuan. But now are the Hussars catching people who cross the road by running a red light?
In the name of quelling rebellion, we are eradicating dissidents!
I really thought I was just crossing a road, but it was a question of which road to take!
Wei Duan slowly put away the anger in his eyes, then narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone... this matter is very important. It will not be over in an instant. It will be discussed over and over again."
Only after replying can we have a conclusion... Wei is not talented, and he is the president of the Senate, but he is not the one who can say it. For such a big matter, if there is no detailed regulations, all the leaders of the Senate will
How to face the master? As for other things, Wei didn't dare to think about it. Although Wei knows that he has limited talent and limited abilities, what you said is reasonable and reasonable, so he will try his best to be considerate! You can be a little more lenient and be quiet.
Hou Jiayin..."
These words seemed reasonable and reasonable, but they didn't say anything. Some people understood it, and some people still couldn't understand it, and they kept talking.
Wei Duan still had a smiling expression. Taking advantage of the commotion among everyone, he seized the opportunity and said loudly, "Everyone, everyone! Now that everyone is concerned about this matter, and you know that it is appropriate to advance or retreat, Wei is relieved."
...The matter of grain and grass is of great importance. In the light case, it will implicate the military, and in the worst case, it will undermine the country's foundation. It really cannot be ignored...Now that you are willing to equalize the price of grain and show your loyalty, Hussar will be happy to know it...Everyone, everyone! Husband.
Riding matters have always been fair and just. If you serve the country wholeheartedly, how can you be wronged? If you have another meritorious service in quelling the chaos, your future status will probably be higher than that of Wei! The hussars are now in their youth, and you will follow the queen.
Under my command, I will definitely be able to shine on the lintel..."
"Everyone, everyone! The Hussar has not returned yet, and Fang Jing is one of the three assistants in Chang'an. His affairs are in a mess. As the chief of the Shenlu Academy, Wei cannot be away for a long time. I can't drink and drink with you today. It's really a shame."
What a pity!" Wei Duan gave his son a look, and then said, "I will let the little dog entertain you today. If you need anything, just tell the little dog! Wei needs to return to the city to handle official business, so he can't spend more time with you.
...Wei has been practicing law for many years, but has achieved nothing. Now that he has been greatly favored by Qiusi, he cannot slack off, and he can only wrong you! Wei would like to apologize to you! I hope you will forgive me!"
When talking about the latter part, Wei Duan's tone was even sad, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he was really moved. He left the table, bowed deeply, and then turned around and left before everyone present could react.
Everyone behind him was shouting to stay, but Wei Duanquan pretended not to hear and hurriedly walked around the backyard, then ordered his horse to be prepared and changed...
The "Ten Evils" discussion has almost been sorted out and is just about to be handed over.
But once this is sent up, it means that from now on, Webster can only live on the breath of Qingqi Feiqian...
This feeling of leaving your destiny in the hands of others is really bad...
If you leave these people behind now, you will invisibly lose your position as the spokesperson of the Guanzhong gentry!
But now this position is obviously a brazier, and whoever sits on it will get a bloody mess!
Didn’t you see that Du Ji and Li Yuan are now increasingly avoiding being with them?
But to put down this position...
It hurts!
It hurt so much that Wei Duan felt like his whole body was shaking.
Years of business, generations of hard work, and relationships woven by many talents are put down now. When one day I want to pick them up again, I don’t know how much I still have to sacrifice! I don’t know when that time comes, I still have to pay.
Can you hold it up?!
But what can be done?
Don’t know when will you be able to take your destiny into your own hands?
Wei Duan let out a long sigh, and then once again urged the servant to hurry up. After all, so many people are coming to the door now. If he can't end the matter as soon as possible, then there will probably be more problems in the future, leaving it to him.
There is not much time left...
……彡(-_-;)彡……
Lantian.
Inside the Chinese military tent.
Fei Qian held the scroll, looked at it, and immediately laughed.
Zhuge Liang, who was reviewing documents on the side, raised his head curiously and took a glance.
The advantage of having a secretary is that you are here. If you have something to do, the secretary will do it, and if you have nothing to do... ahem, just read a book.
Anyway, Zhuge Liang was here, so the free labor was not in vain, but it could also be used as a pretext to give Zhuge Liang a chance to exercise, so Hu Feiqian naturally left all the sundry matters to Zhuge Liang and happily drank tea and read.
Fei Qian put down the book and looked at Zhuge Liang, "Kong Ming, how are the matters handled?"
It has to be said that Zhuge Liang is a very good person when it comes to logistics. His personality is quite meticulous and patient. In addition, he is smart and has clear ideas. Sorting out the logistical matters in the army is like combing through tangled hair.
After two or three clicks, everything is smooth and orderly.
Zhuge Liang put down the pen in his hand, nodded slightly, then handed the summary in his hand to Fei Qian, and said, "There is still more than a month of money and food in the rear camp, and all other supplies are in place. Only charcoal fire to keep out the cold is in short supply.
Retrieval."
Fei Qian took it, looked at it, and nodded, "Someone has ordered the transportation of coal, and it will arrive soon."
After a month, maybe half a month, basically what can be decided will be decided, and what cannot be decided will not be decided in a month and a half.
Fei Qian looked at the snowflakes flying outside the tent. It had been falling for two or three days...
Damn it, it is estimated that this year will be another cold winter. It is only the middle of October and it is not yet November. If this kind of weather happens more often, this winter and next spring will be terrible.
We must focus on stocking up on supplies in the past few years, otherwise the climate change that will follow may become increasingly severe.
Moreover, nomadic peoples will be more affected than agricultural peoples, which is likely to trigger a new wave of barbarians.
The prairie can no longer survive, so naturally they will go south to plunder, live if they can rob something, and die on the battlefield if they can't rob it. Such barbarians are the most terrifying. Under the pressure of the precarious living environment, extremely vicious people will emerge.
In this generation, animal nature is greater than human nature.
At the same time, if these Hu people are not gradually consumed in the process, then those who are left behind will become more and more skilled in fighting. From the entire history, the initial fighting methods of the Hu people were relatively crude, and by the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties,
The tactics gradually matured, and even ordinary Hu generals were able to successfully use the tactics of encirclement, reinforcements, and outflanking. Their ability to deploy soldiers was gradually strengthened, and their command ability was greatly improved.
Therefore, not only the Han Dynasty is facing changes now, but the entire world will change as long as it is affected by climate change. This change may not be noticeable in one or two years, but it will affect the future in ten or twenty years.
years, or even hundreds of years.
Fei Qian retracted his thoughts, then handed the letter on his hand to Zhuge Liang, indicating to him to take a look at the sentences that Fei Qian had emphasized...
Zhuge Liang took the scroll, and then read softly, "...the Han Dynasty was prosperous, eliminating troubles, and resting with the people. As for filial piety, be respectful and thrifty, and be filial and respectful. In fifty or sixty years, as for changing customs, the people will be mellow."
Zhou Yunchengkang's Chinese language and literary scenery are so beautiful..."
"Han Shu?" Zhuge Liang read it from beginning to end again, and then asked, "What does the Lord mean..."
Fei Qian did not answer immediately, but stood up and rummaged through the leather bag on the side. After a while, he took out another volume of letters, opened it and searched for a moment, then smiled and pointed at it.
Let Zhuge Liang read a paragraph.
"... When the Han Dynasty prospered, filial piety brought great virtues, the world was at peace, and filial piety was achieved. People no longer had to worry about different surnames. However, Chao Cuo cut down the princes, which caused the seven kingdoms to rise together and unite from Xixiang. The princes were too prosperous, but they could not do it.
It's just a matter of time. When the Lord's father said something, and the princes were weak, they died in order to be safe. Isn't it possible to take advantage of the opportunity of safety and danger?"
Zhuge Liang finished reading, then looked at the sentences in the previous Han book, then looked back at the slips that Fei Qian had pulled out, and frowned slightly.
One is "Zhou Yun Chengkang, the Chinese literature and scenery are beautiful", the other is "In times of danger, it is better to seek help". They are obviously descriptions of the same period, but they are very different. The other is "It seems that the world
Taiping is beautiful and beautiful, but the other is murderous and planning for safety...
One is the Han Dynasty written by Ban Gu, and the other is the Historical Records written by Sima Qian.
So, the question arises, why did Ban Gu write this?
Because Ban Gu said that what Sima Qian had written before was "compiled at the end of the Hundred Kings and ranked among the items of Qin", he felt it was inappropriate and had to re-write the history of the Han Dynasty. The era recorded in the "Book of Han" overlaps with the "Historical Records".
The history of the Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty before the middle period of Emperor Wu is recorded in both books. In this part, "Hanshu" often transfers from "Historical Records". However, due to the difference in the ideological realm of the two authors and the different standards for material selection, there are also additions and deletions when transferring.
Change.
One of the most important differences is that of "sage".
The so-called "sage" is Confucius. Sima Qian did not completely use Confucius' thoughts as the standard for judging right and wrong, while Ban Gu was on the contrary. His words must be virtuous and his writing must be benevolent. The source is the saying "sage"...
The facts in Wenjing's time should be closer to what Sima Qian wrote. They were dangerous and cunning, and even the slightest carelessness meant safety and security were exchanged. The people of the Seven Kingdoms were not "mellow", and the process of countering the rebellion was not at all.
None of them are "beautiful".
Of course, Han Shu is not all shortcomings. People after Ban Gu and Ban Shi also created many new historical recording models in Han Shu, and also left a lot of precious information, such as "Han Shu" and "Han Shu".
"Table of Hundred Officials and Officials", this table first describes the division of officials and positions in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the authority of various official positions and the amount of salary, and then uses a simplified table divided into fourteen levels and thirty-four official levels to record the official positions of the Han Dynasty
The promotion, demotion, and removal of ministers. Although this table is not long, it clearly shows the bureaucratic system and bureaucratic changes in the Han Dynasty. It is very rare and has become a model used by most feudal dynasties in later generations.
"During the Wenjing period in the early Han Dynasty, the gains and losses of the Qin Dynasty were inherited, and the people were regarded as the most important weapon. The people of the world were ordered to sell themselves as slaves due to hunger, and they were all exempted from becoming common people..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Therefore,
After the refugees return, their household registrations are also restored. The big ones have 30,000 or 40,000 households, and the small ones have twice as much, and they are as rich as..."
If a country does not even have the courage to face history, but still has to avoid and cover up its history, then such a country, and its citizens, will hardly have the courage to move forward and overcome obstacles.
.
"The policy of the country needs to be forward-looking and cautious, and a slight deviation will harm future generations... Take history as a guide, it should be like this..." Fei Qian pointed to the two volumes and said, "However, the Han Dynasty has omitted it, so
Saints, covered by their benevolence and virtue, will make those who come after them more and more false, whitewashing peace, and unable to know the pros and cons, so as to avoid being overthrown by those who have gone before..."
History is history. If history is truly recorded, then people in the future can use these historical events to know what attempts were made by predecessors, what measures were taken, and what consequences occurred, and they can gain some experience from them without
I need to take that wrong path again and again, and fall again where my predecessors fell...
However, starting from Ban Gu, methods such as concealment, modification, beautification, etc. were transferred from Han Fu to Han history, so that later generations followed the same example and could not mention, say, write, or let others see it, otherwise
…
Are historical records just for the purpose of praising virtues?
Except for those who praise virtues, all those who talk about some disadvantages are deleted. Is it interesting?
Deleting these words will mean that those things no longer exist?
"Wenjing suffered from political deficiencies, power struggles between prefectures and states, and chaos among the seven kingdoms, and they attacked each other..." Fei Qian thought and said slowly, "How can it be like "changing customs and making the people mellow"? There are already existing counties.
When fighting for national power, where do we fight? Why do we fight? How can we finally achieve peace? These aspects are important and cannot be described as "beautiful"..."
"My lord, what is your intention now?" Zhuge Liang said, "In the Wenjing period, it seemed that he ruled the world, but in fact, his power did not go out of the capital, and his orders did not go to counties and villages. Outside Hangu, where there was no political power, all the people in Shandong were
I don’t know if there is an emperor... The order of Hussar today is limited to Jingzhao in the north, Zuo Fengyi, Hongnong, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu. There are many big households, each with their own opinions, just like the old events of the Seven Kingdoms, it is urgent to reduce the vassal..."
"Although there are many Banshi's words nowadays, "beautiful" in the place, but it should be the book of Taishi, and it is for safety!" Zhuge Liang said inferences, "Therefore, the Lord is stationed in Lantian and does not enter Chang'an.
To avoid the hustle and bustle, the second thing is to wait for the so-called "beauty" everywhere to show its shape?"
Fei Qian laughed loudly, and then nodded to Zhuge Liang, "Don't tell anyone..."
"But..." Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, "If there is such a large reduction... what will happen to the operations of various places? If we replace them with agricultural and engineering bachelors, it can be done for a while, but it cannot last long..."
Bachelor of Agriculture, Bachelor of Engineering, and Inspection can be used as a reserve force to temporarily replace the original administrative duties, but this model cannot be operated for a long time. Otherwise, whether it is for the bureaucracy or for the long-term development of Feiqian's regime,
All are disadvantageous.
To put it simply, inspections by bachelors of agriculture and engineering are like military control along the Feiqian line. Temporary military control can be used to deal with emergencies, but long-term military control cannot replace administration.
After all, agricultural bachelors and others are also human beings, and they also have emotions and desires. It does not mean that they are all pure and kind. If this model prevails, will some people deliberately mess with the original administrative officials, and then create a situation that they can control?
Condition?
If this happens, the situation that was originally a cooperative relationship will immediately become rigid, and even interfere with each other and pull each other's legs, so that what was originally good governance will immediately deteriorate and become an evil method that hinders local development.
The so-called name is not correct and the words are not correct, that's it.
This is also easy to understand. Even in later generations, the director of the agricultural institute, the director of the public security bureau, etc. cannot be arbitrarily replaced by the mayor or county magistrate.
Even if these people are to be promoted, there must be a process, and this process is what Zhuge Liang is currently worried about. If it is not done well, it will not only cause problems in the local administration, but will also greatly affect Fei Qian's follow-up.
policy promotion and the rectification of these local officials.
Fei Qian smiled slightly and said, "Does Kong Ming know what "competition for employment" means?"
