Speaking of places like Longyou and Longxi, they are actually in a relatively strange position in the Han Dynasty.
Speaking of noisy, this place is indeed quite noisy.
The chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty started in Longyou, Liangzhou, and its momentum spread to the east until the chaos in the Central Plains, and then the Three Kingdoms were established. It may be reasonable to say that this was the cause of the turmoil in the Three Kingdoms.
But speaking of loyalty, this place is also quite loyal.
Historically, the centrifugal tendency in Liangzhou itself does not seem to be serious. In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Dou Rong proclaimed himself a military general in the five counties of Hexi, but he did not follow the long-term separatist rule like Kuma Xiao and Gongsun Shu. Liu Xiu sent an envoy and surrendered immediately.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the Qiang and Hu cavalry led by the Koreans and horses ravaged the whole state, the actual control area was limited, and the court was still able to continuously dispatch state governors and prefects of various counties there. Later, Ma Chao captured Jicheng and killed
The assassin Wei Kang wanted to separatize Liangzhou, but Yang Fu, Jiang Xu and other local powerful forces joined forces and drove him away in an instant, and then welcomed Xia Houyuan to Long.
This contradictory mentality is actually a microcosm of the current situation of the Han Dynasty.
Not only in Longyou, Guanzhong, but also in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and even in Xu County and other places under the rule of the Emperor, some people have long been wondering what Tu Gao is, while others are criticizing him.
The former is a careerist and a destroyer of the Han Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, there were naturally many people who suspected that Fei Qian had the intention to usurp the throne and wanted to overthrow the Han Dynasty.
Talking about the current situation of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao held the emperor hostage, Fei Qian established another minister, and Sun Quan occupied Jiangdong. On the surface, they were still one family, but in fact, the separatist situation had already begun. Although Yuan Shu, who usurped the throne, was killed before, at this stage everyone
None of them expressed any intention of usurping the Han Dynasty, but in fact the tendency to usurp the Han Dynasty was already there.
It can be said that the current situation is only one step away from deposing the Emperor of Han.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, and people like Pang Tong and Xun You are no exception.
If Fei Qian had thought of it at that moment and took advantage of the strength of his troops to take another step upwards, flying from north to south, he might have changed the flag in an instant!
Especially when Fei Qian had just put down the surrounding rebellions and took the opportunity to raise a flag, it was very possible that the wealthy noble families in these areas would immediately surrender and support Fei Qian in order to protect their status.
This is probably the case in these places in history. When Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, it did not cause great turmoil in the political situation of the northern states and counties. The great turmoil had already been vented when Cao Cao died. Of course, Cao Pi gave up on him.
There is a certain correlation between Lao Tzu's line of struggle and his choice of peacemaking mode.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the incident of the emperor's purchase is very interesting. This subtle mentality also appeared between Pang Tong and Xun You.
Pang Tong's suggestion was very direct. It seemed that he wanted to refuse the emperor's request for purchasing goods because he owed money. But was he actually simply talking about goods?
Obviously not.
In high-level politics, perhaps the fools are the ones who focus on money and forget about other aspects.
Xun You on the other side is not a fool. His state of wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it, and being worried and entangled actually represents Xun You's current state of mind.
So after getting an answer from Fei Qian that was not yet available, Xun You breathed a sigh of relief, while Pang Tong, although a little surprised, felt that since it was Fei Qian's decision, there was nothing to say.
It is difficult to recover from the Han Zuo incident. This is basically the calculation in the minds of knowledgeable people at the moment.
Except for a small number of royalists who could not even be regarded as royalists, they still gathered around the Emperor of Han Dynasty. Most of the others knew it well. Even Zhuge Liang in history knew it, so he went out to assist Liu Bei and faced off against him in Longzhong.
In it, the success of the hegemony was placed before the success of the Han Dynasty.
Only by changing dynasties can there be a possibility of peace in the world. If we continue to linger, will there be more trouble?
This was Zhuge Liang's worry in history, and it is also a worry of many people today.
Xun You took the account book and left. He temporarily let go of his worries, but he felt that the future became even more murky and unclear.
Pang Tong stood aside, holding his cheek, imitating Fei Qian and tapping the table gently.
Fei Qian laughed and said: Shi Yuan wants to pick up the jade from Marquis Liyang?
Pang Tong waved his hand and said: If lifting jade is useful, I would do it seventeen or eight times.
Fei Qian laughed.
Lord, I have thought about this for a while, and there is nothing wrong with it. Why not do it? Pang Tong sat up straighter and asked.
Fei Qian also knew what Pang Tong meant.
After all, the emperor, no matter what, is a being who has maintained his rule for three to four hundred years. No matter how hard it is, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still surnamed Liu, and the powerful ministers in the Han Dynasty during the three to four hundred years are as numerous as the crucian carp crossing the river, Fei Qian
If he fails to take that step in the end, will he be able to successfully transfer power to the next generation after his death?
Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, has there been any powerful official who can last for many generations without usurpation?
The Huo family, the Dou family, the Deng family, and the Liang family are all like this. Only the Wang family has been passed down for two generations, but after all, there is still a usurped character.
At that time, when power is reshuffled, who can still maintain peace and stability in all directions?
Cao Cao was older, Fei Qian was second, and then Sun Quan and Liu Xie were almost the same age.
Normally, Cao Cao would die before Fei Qian, and Sun Quan would be the final winner.
Can an emperor who has been a puppet all his life be able to cheer up in the blink of an eye, develop great talents and great plans, and revitalize the country? If ministers continue to govern, will there still be a second or third separatist boss?
?Then this war that started from Dong Zhuo will last for how many years?
Nowadays, the policies implemented by Feiqian Sanfu in Guanzhong are increasingly showing their advantages, but it is precisely because of these advantages that the Shandong gentry continue to slander and resist, and even continue to harass ordinary people in the areas they rule.
It exaggerates Fei Qian's cruelty and greed to underline the correctness of his rule.
Although it is said that lies will be revealed sooner or later, but just like delayed justice is not justice, what if Fei Qian cannot wait for the day when it is revealed?
Therefore, for Pang Tong, it is his duty to eliminate internal and external hostile forces. For example, if he takes this opportunity to attack the Shandong nobles, Pang Tong feels that it is not a big deal, even if it is in the name of the emperor, so what?
When Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, a bunch of Shandong nobles didn't necessarily give a shit, but now they can do it even if they don't pay the money they owe? Why do they have such a face?
In fact, this face is really possible. Just like in the later generations, there are many double-standard dogs. On one side, they righteously scolded the Phoenix man, the Green Tea woman, and so on, and then turned around and immediately turned to the other side.
Is the boss still in need of pendants? Is the rich woman still in need of happy balls?
Pang Tong knew that such behavior would affect business exchanges, but now the business exchanges between the east and the west are gradually unbalanced, which means that the total price paid by Fei Qian to the east exceeds what he gets from the east, so Pang Tong
Naturally, I thought that even if business ties with the east were cut off, it would not have any impact on the overall situation.
But sometimes, for some things, you can't just focus on the superficial price gap. What's more, for Fei Qian, the responsibility of business is not just to provide taxes and increase income.
On the surface, Fei Qian did not pay special attention to business. He only proposed that scholars, farmers, industry and merchants were equal and all industries were given equal importance. He also did not allow businessmen to take up serious local positions. He only established a Han Dynasty Chamber of Commerce to regulate businessmen.
His behavior has also confused some people to some extent, thinking that Fei Qian's attitude towards business and businessmen is just that.
Pang Tong didn't quite understand these things, so Fei Qian needed to explain them to him.
Fei Qian smiled, then pointed to the sesame cake in the bean plate on the table and said: Does Shi Yuan know the origin of this sesame?
The fat-headed black bird shook its feathers and squinted at the sesame cake on the bean plate. My lord, did you mean that it was like cooking food? It should be heated?
Fei Qian nodded, shook his head and said, why was there sesame when Zhang Qian was there, but now there are sesame cakes?
The sesame cake is not big in size and is decorated with sesame seeds on the outside. It looks golden and crispy, and tastes charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It is very delicious with cheese and refined salt added. Of course, if you want to make some people think it is more high-end, you can
If cheese is added to it, does it immediately suit some people’s tastes?
When Fei Qian first arrived in Dahan, he didn't have very high requirements for food. He originally thought that although Dahan had no seasonings, MSG, or chili peppers, the food was all natural and fresh, so he should be able to adapt to it, but he didn't expect that it would be painful.
For a long time.
There is no such thing as the feeling that as soon as time-travelers arrived in ancient times, anyone would scratch their necks and complain about eating something, and even be moved to tears.
In fact, many things from the Han Dynasty were not delicious, quite unpalatable.
The cooking techniques are very simple, and the so-called freshness is limited to a few types, such as those grown and raised in the corners of the fields, courtyards, or caught in ponds and rivers. Others are basically not fresh at all. Even in the city market
Many of the raw materials for the dishes sold there are no longer fresh. After all, there were no freezers in the Han Dynasty and no means of preservation.
In addition, some vegetables in the Han Dynasty are actually very different from vegetables in later generations.
Take simple turnips and cabbages as an example. Of course, these were the names of the Han Dynasty. If they were called radish and cabbage in later generations, they would be radish and cabbage. Then the radish and cabbage are born that way and have not changed for thousands of years.
?
Obviously impossible.
After generations of selection, cultivation, survival of the fittest, and even improvement and grafting, it can become a delicacy on people's tables. Just speaking of the present, the common fruits and vegetables of this era are not half as big as those of later generations, and their fiber is thicker.
, Fei Ya also tastes rather pungent, and some are even bitter, so many of them are used for pickling with salt or wine, otherwise they really don’t taste good, and the taste is not even a little bit worse than later generations.
After Fei Qian came, he made a lot of improvements. Otherwise, according to the original cooking method of the Han Dynasty, boil boiling water and stew, throw in some coarse salt and throw in a piece of vinegar cloth. If the darling little goblins in later generations traveled to the Han Dynasty, they would be in a hurry.
After eating a meal, it is not clear whether you will be moved by the freshness of the ingredients, but you will definitely cry after eating it.
Sesame is flax.
Flax has been around since Zhang Qian passed through the Western Regions.
Seriously speaking, from Zhang Qian's time to now, sesame must have been very popular no matter what, but unfortunately, whether in Heluo or Jingzhou, Fei Qian did not see any dishes made with sesame.
Sesame oil is rare
the reason is simple.
There are not many sesame plants.
So why aren't there a lot of sesame seeds? It wasn't until Feiqian that they were planted on a large scale, and then small cakes like sesame cakes were launched, and sesame oil began to be extracted on a large scale?
Wen Zhiwen, Jing Xuanmo, raised the people for five generations. The world was prosperous, with more than enough financial resources, and the people and horses were strong. Therefore, rhinoceros cloth could be seen, and the seven counties of Zhuya were built with tortoise shells, medlar paste, and bamboo sticks were used to open the kettle and cross the mountains.
, Wen Tianma, Pu Tao leads to Dayuan, rest in peace. From then on, pearls, armor, rhinoceros, green feathers filled the harem, thin tips, dragons, fish eyes, horses with sweat and blood filled the Huangmen
, giant elephants, lions, ferocious dogs, and flocks of big birds are eating outside. Foreign objects from all directions are coming from all directions.
Fei Qian suddenly memorized a passage from the book.
Pang Tong seemed to have gained something and began to think deeply.
Emperor Xiaowu went out to the fortress five times to attack the Xiongnu. He lost many soldiers and ten war horses. Because of the lack of military expenditure, he punished merchants heavily and tricked the wealthy. Nine out of ten families were ruined and people died, which eventually backfired on him.
He said, what's more, the number of people who guarded Luntai in the Western Regions was only a few thousand, but they needed a large supply from the Han Dynasty and traveled thousands of miles to finance it?
Why? There is no business.
Sometimes Fei Qian finds it funny when he sees some documents and archives of the Han Dynasty. The Western Region is so big that it can't support thousands of soldiers locally. It also needs to transport food and wages all the way from the Han Dynasty?
Then the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty treated the emperor like a monkey?
Begging for food with the golden rice bowl of the Silk Road?
Are you really that poor, or are you just pretending to be so poor?
Before Feiqian, no one of the upper political figures of the Han Dynasty really wanted to completely ban all commercial activities, but at the same time few people paid attention to business. In the eyes of these people, businessmen were like slaves to the country.
Without such slaves, the house may be dirty and there will be no one to wash and cook, but no one really thinks that such slaves are so important that they must be encouraged and rewarded.
In addition, gentry children also have a natural hostility towards merchants.
On the one hand, he studied hard, recited history and scriptures, and used connections to win favors. He finally became an official and had to start from a small place. Even if he scraped land, he had to give it to his colleagues as tribute to his superiors. How long did it take to build up some wealth? On the other hand,
On the other hand, they watched the merchants take the caravans for several trips, and they became extremely rich.
How can I bear this?
Fuck him!
But if we put aside the resentment of the gentry children against the merchants, what effect did the merchants have on the small peasant economy?
For example, there is a poor mountain valley with no merchants, and its residents only know how to farm to feed themselves and weave hemp to keep out the cold. Then the fruits of their work are enough for their own family, and the rest of their free time can only be used for indolence or making people.
Because even if we produce more crops, it is of no use. We can only eat so much, and we don’t have enough storage technology and equipment. In the end, we will just let the extra crops rot in the fields.
One day a merchant came and brought them ironware, pottery, and new production tools, allowing them to get more output with less energy, but farmers had to produce more than usual.
More products can be purchased. So some farmers want a more comfortable future, so they start to work harder and produce more crops during this period.
After a while, another merchant arrived, bringing livestock and silk fabrics. In a sense, it was considered a large amount of consumption for the farmers in this valley, or a luxury product. Although the farmer's
Savings, but after the transaction, the farmer's life has become more comfortable, more fulfilling, and more meaningful. With the oxen, the farmer no longer needs to use his own shoulders to pull the plow, which alleviates the pain and even does not use his own children.
You have to go to the fields before you grow up
There were also merchants who brought information from distant places, which caused these farmers or their children to start walking out of the mountains.
Like sesame seeds.
At the beginning, flax was obtained from the Western Regions, and then stored in the imperial garden to stop the king's selfish desires. Fei Qian said slowly, and now it is spread widely and used to make cakes.
Pang Tong pondered for a moment, does the lord now want to plant a plant in Shandong?
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
Planting is not just about planting flax.
Among the people in Shandong, there have been no merchants for too long, and all information is closed. Just like Fei Qian used coins to open the way to educate the barbarians, merchants are also needed to cultivate the market in Shandong.
Just like the express lockers of later generations killed the last mile, free Autobots killed the animation industry, free games killed some people, and free pirated texts killed writers.
The free little hands were very pleasant when they were touched at first, but when the little hands grasped the vital point and started to change their expressions and exert force, just kneeling down and calling daddy could no longer satisfy these free little hands before, they had to be called daddy!
When Shandong's markets, Shandong's merchants, and Shandong's handicrafts all changed into the shape of Guanzhong,
Foolish people only focus on immediate interests, while far-sighted people focus on the future.
Pang Tong frowned and thought for a while, then sighed, or maybe he was a little anxious.
China's products are relatively rich, and you can buy everything from outside. At the same time, the vision of the nobles is generally limited, so the Silk Road has not received much attention. However, the people in Central Asia are different, focusing on China's silk tea.
, his eyes were spitting out fire. Now that Fei Qian has reopened the Western Region, his influence is not wide enough. If it really spreads, wouldn't those guys come to the east like crazy?
Pang Tong was thinking and suddenly said: I suddenly remembered something about Marquis Wen's place.
Wen Hou Mo Feiqian nodded, saying that he knew, so he would let it go for the time being.
Recovering the Western Regions and reopening the Silk Road was indeed Lu Bu's contribution. However, as the shape of the Western Regions changed, from the initial war model to the current trade model, a new model gradually emerged.
New question.
The Chinese tradition regards merchants as a lowly profession, and most of them neglect to manage business activities, let alone conduct in-depth research. They basically let it go. As the Protector of the Western Regions, Lu Bu would probably not consider these issues, so here
Within a period of time, Fei Qian received a lot of feedback about the problem of Lu Bu's subordinates setting up checkpoints privately, taxing them arbitrarily, and making them fat.
There are records from Zhiyin Prison, private secret reports, and descriptions of some situations in the Western Regions by Gao Wutong and others, all showing that this problem has arisen and spread.
And Lu Bu didn't seem to be aware of this problem, or maybe he didn't take it seriously?
At this stage, let's just let the bullets fly for a while.
Perhaps if it were changed to the Han Dynasty, it would be Zheng Beke and Duan Yuyan
