There are two tasks in Chang'an's General's Mansion, which are updated from time to time for a long time.
Maps and sand tables.
Every time a period of time, full-time craftsmen will draw the newly discovered terrain on the map, and then trim and add it on the sand table to be as close to the real situation as possible.
At that moment, Fei Qian stood in the wing room and looked at the sand table representing the area near Taiyuan.
『People are prone to prejudice…』
Fei Qian's fingers gently tapped on the edge of the Taiyuan sand tray.
Just like among people from Shandong, many short-sighted men do not look down on women very much, and think that women have no talent, or the best talent is to take care of their husbands and children, and stay at home for a lifetime. As for the reason why they think so, they mostly think that there are few women who are self-aware, so it is better to be a reproductive machine.
But these stupid people don’t know at all that even women are just the role of taking care of their husbands and children, they also need to receive education, have knowledge, have certain abilities and correct views. Otherwise, even if they really do the male lead and the female lead the inside, they either criticize this or make trouble for that every day, they can’t stand anything, and think that they are the naughty kids at the center of the world. How did they appear?
In the feudal dynasty, most gentry families must marry women from high families. Even if they are beautiful, they can only be concubines. Of course, it does not mean that women from high families must be good, but may be relatively better. Because the kind of women they marry directly affects the next generation and the future of the entire family and the family. Marrying a bad wife, causing the whole family to be destroyed, is not just a joke.
So it’s better to attach importance to women verbally? Is it because the wood that Shang Yang set up is so powerful that the simple act of carrying wood itself? Or that the female officials now do not show much value, so they simply don’t even need to worry about what they will do in the future?
Those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a moment; those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region.
not to mention……
Pang Tong stood aside with his hands in his sleeves. Over the past period of time, Pang Tong has lost a little weight than before. Well, it is only a little bit. After all, it is easy to get fat, but it is difficult to lose weight. Of course, sudden weight loss is not good for the body. Fei Qian also specifically told Pang Tong not to slaughter and damage his body.
"Now it is a region with a strong tradition. Whether it is the change of officials or the propaganda of the countryside, it is not enough. Apart from some general slogans, the people in these areas have no attention to the changes in the outside world." Fei Qian looked at the sand table, as if he was looking down at the entire earth. "Now it is indeed not reflected any problems for the time being, but problems in the future will definitely arise, and by that time, we may no longer have any ideas and motivation to change anything..."
"We should seize this opportunity now, take advantage of the gaps and shortcomings of the officials themselves to pull out their original beliefs from the local gentry..." Fei Qian said slowly, "This is the thought brought to me by the people who have learned the scriptures. The beliefs in the snow areas need to be changed, and the beliefs in many places also need to be changed..."
"This change is definitely not something that can be changed just by creating a little temple." Pang Tong nodded and said, "It must be made bigger... Now I am a little worried that the Wang girl... may not be able to do it..."
Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "If Wang Zhen and the other two can do it, of course it's best. If you can't... make adjustments again...
When the scholars came, Fei Qian suddenly felt that the science and technology trees on the superstructure were actually not enough. Relying on climbing the science and technology trees in the industry alone could not change the old ideas in many people's minds, and the imperial examinations were also not possible. These can only be auxiliary, and more importantly, the changes in their own three views.
"The power of customs is very strong..." Fei Qian said slowly.
Customs and habits are very stubborn. If the social environment does not change significantly, then this kind of thing will hardly change.
『But...the customs will change," Fei Qian gently knocked on the sand table, 『The premise is to have strong power to impact the original structure... We need to impact the traditional structure now...』
『The present is indeed a good opportunity.』 Pang Tong nodded and said, 『Before, we used force to comprehensively promote the change of a region, but now we are using a relatively gentle method to gradually change a region partially... This is a completely different way...』
"The God Cult of the Five Directions should also follow up, but don't act too much and attract attention..." Fei Qian said with thought, "The key is to use the Wang girl... to attract everyone's attention..."
There is a saying that existence means rationality. In fact, this sentence has some taste of social functionalism. The so-called functionalism means to regard society as a system with a certain structure and organization. This kind of orderly related system of various social organizations plays an effective function for the overall society.
Social functionalism means that all social phenomena, no matter how immoral, absurd, or evil it seems, should not exist. As long as it does exist, this social phenomenon will inevitably play a certain social function in society...
Religion actually has certain social functions. Religion is a way for the people to release their own pressure, vent their emotions, and help stabilize the structure of social organizations. If the original social pressure structure does not change and does not disappear, then the people will inevitably choose some channels for emotional catharsis.
Religion is a channel for social emotions.
Even in later generations, religion is the same, and there is also...
The future of the Han Dynasty, or for a considerable period of time, the entire Chinese people will inevitably be as happy as the future generations. Well, or even if technology has developed to a certain extent, for ordinary people, the entire society will not have a paradise system, and social pressure will continue to exist. So providing some spiritual ** for ordinary people in a timely manner is a product that is naturally produced due to demand.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Before the Five God Sects, these spiritual ** were provided by local gentry and primitive religions. Taoism originally wanted to take on this responsibility, but history gave it the opportunity, but it was useless! Taoism played an obvious role in this aspect in history, so it gave up its territory and eventually led to the prosperity of Buddhism. Now, Fei Qian wants to make up for this part of the Five God Sects and replace the empty functional structure of some local gentry.
It is really better to practice this life than to practice in this life.
The authority of the landlord class needs to be weakened, and the weakened part cannot be vacant at will, otherwise it will still be absorbed by the next new landlord class. Just as many dynasties in history did, the old landlord class died, and the warriors who lie on the corpse and eat corruption became the new landlord class.
At the same time, religious authority also needs to be restricted. After all, the history of secular power and religious power first cooperate and then fight each other has many examples in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. After the church is too powerful, it will inevitably tend to interfere with secular regimes. Time travelers have enough lessons in this regard.
If the unity of politics and education is really done well, it is actually very good, and it can even inspire the enthusiasm and strength of the people more than the emperor system, but it is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, it will become the root cause of the collapse of the entire regime.
Even if Fei Qian himself is confident of building the first generation of cooperative politics, as time goes by, the second generation, and the third generation at the latest, will definitely have various problems, such as fighting for power and profit, calculating each other, and for their own selfish desires, they will bother to lose public interests, and even sell the country and defect to the enemy camp...
Balance and checks and balances.
Nowadays, the landlord class is too big, so if you don’t take the landlord class to attack, will you still keep it for the New Year?
Pang Tong was on the side, as if calculating the probability of success of the overall plan. After a while of silence, he said: "But... if it is said to be the God of the Five Directions... I'm afraid there is another problem..."
Fei Qian frowned slightly, "Shi Yuan, wouldn't you say..."
Pang Tong nodded and said, "I have received some news... For this reason, I will sort it out first, and then summarize it for the lord to see..."
"good."
Fei Qian nodded, then his eyes passed through Taiyuan and turned toward the northerly direction of the sand table.
His eyes were deep, like the stars in the night sky. Although they were not very dazzling, they didn't know how many times he had passed...
…(￣▽￣)~*…
You can eat whatever you lack and think you can replenish whatever you think.
It seems very simple and makes sense.
For example, if someone feels that his brain is lacking, he will eat pig brain to supplement it...
Well, something seems to be wrong.
Forget it, Cao Cao lacks war horses now, so he has to eat some war horses. Of course, it is not really eaten, but buying them.
Cao Chun was preparing to have a good talk with Jiankun people and buy some war horses.
Cao Chun knew that the Jiankun people had war horses, and the war horses were not bad. Compared with the Xianbei and the Huns before, Jiankun's war horses were taller, more beautiful, brave and loyal.
Well, yes, loyalty is often one of the important criteria for humans to domesticate animals, but what are humans themselves...
Ahem.
Because Jiankun had lived with the Seme people in Western Europe before, he naturally introduced some Western European horse breeds.
Among these Western European horse breeds, the most extensive one is the Iberian horse.
Compared with Mongolian horses, the Jiankun horse, which is more inclined toward the Iberian horse system, looks particularly beautiful.
The Iberian series is a descendant of the Soreama, and they are full of charm in the Big Client 2. Its head is of medium size and looks very symmetrical to the body. Its height and slender legs are combined, and its mane is thick and lush, and its often wavy curly mane and tail hair are like a model walking in a fashion pioneer. No matter who sees it, you will feel your eyes lit up.
Including Cao Chun, Cao Chun has imagined how cool it would be to ride on such a horse more than once... well, majestic...
But the problem is that war horses are not cheap, especially the Kinkun horses with some Iberian horse characteristics, which are even more expensive. It’s not that Mongolian horses are so bad, but on the battlefield, if they are more endurance and traveling for a long distance, then Mongolian horses will definitely win, but if they are face-to-face, the Mongolian horses with dwarfs will suffer a certain loss invisibly.
This is something that all cavalry generals know, so Cao Chun longs to have such a group of war horses and then improve the combat effectiveness of his cavalry.
The one who negotiated with Cao Chun was Wang He who came again.
Cao Chun and Wang He sat down separately. When they were about to make some polite concessions, Wang He spoke first and said, "General Cao, there is no need to explain the friendship between you and me in detail... I am interested in the general, but this war horse... I still have to say that the price cannot be reduced because of my friendship with the general... After all, even if I have this heart, I can't make the decision. Can the general understand it?"
Cao Chun was stunned.
If you deny it, expressing that you are not anxious to use it to lower the price of war horses, Cao Chun doesn't have the confidence.
Yes, no confidence.
Could it be that no one in the Xiahou family of Cao wants to advance to Chang'an and capture Fei Qian alive?
They dreamed of it.
But the problem is that they are all dreaming at the moment.
Everyone knows that if you want to fight Fei Qian's soldiers head-on, you can't resist it. The generals are weak, the soldiers are weak, the equipment is weak, the logistics supply is weak, and the morale and fighting spirit are also weak. How to fight this?
Cao Chun was silent for a while, then said: "Then, this price..."
Wang He looked at Cao Chun with a steady voice, "Good war horses, each with one million and a rare war horses, each with three million and a half million... Ordinary horses, fifty, forget it, just 450,000 yuan..."
As soon as Wang He opened his mouth, he almost scared Cao Chun.
Simply put, war horses are also a commodity, so market demand and supply will affect the price of horses.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In the early Han Dynasty, as the emperor, during major national sacrificial activities, he could not even get four white horses, which could tell the sparse number of war horses at that time. At that time, about a decent ordinary war horse, about 30,000 yuan.
The price of war horses then rose due to the demand for fighting against the Huns. By the time of Emperor Wu of Han, the price of horses was as high as 200,000 yuan. There was a case that someone secretly sold horses at a low price and then charged 500 yuan for benefits. As a result, they were dismissed and punished if they were discovered...
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the price of horses dropped a little. The horse used to pull a cart was worth about ten thousand yuan, and the horse riding was basically 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. During the Jianwu period, Ma Yuan asked his son to give Du Lin a horse because Du Lin was not only his fellow countryman, but also Du Lin's horse had just passed away. After Du Lin returned later, he returned 50,000 yuan. Of course, this may not necessarily reflect the horse price at that time. One is Ma Yuan's horse might be better. In addition, there is also some meaning of human relations, and the price given may deviate from the market price.
When Emperor Ling of Han was in the morale of Emperor Ling of Han, in the fourth year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling of Han was obstructed by local tyrants when he was recruiting horses. The price of a horse was as high as two million yuan. "In the first month of the spring of the fourth year, the first month of the fourth year, the stable chief was appointed to receive the horse transfer from counties and states. The horse was transferred from the right to two million yuan. However, this price is very likely that the local tyrants were causing trouble at that time. After all, the relationship between Emperor Ling of Han and the local gentry and powerful people was not very good at that time. After a few years, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was in the future...
So, Wang He said that a horse with a height of 450,000 was indeed too high.
As for the best war horses, the price of rare war horses has increased by more than ten times.
Of course, Cao Chun could not be the sucker, and he immediately said that it was inappropriate.
Wang He didn't care about Cao Chun's anger, and he slowly calculated with his fingers: "General Cao, as far as I know, the price of war horses in the west will be lower, but those horses are castrated... If the war horses that have not been castrated are actually similar to ours... If we can replenish the number of war horses for General Cao at one time, then in a year, even if only half of the mares gave birth to a ponies, it means that the price of war horses is cheaper... And a horse can give birth to at least four or five. In this way, General Cao, you should actually take a big advantage..."
Cao Chun shook his head, "How can we calculate this? There are still people who have been raised in this horse, so why don't we count it? If it's life, why don't we count it? Moreover, raising horses also requires money, forage and horseherds, that doesn't cost money, and it's also a considerable fee! Why don't we count it in this? "
Wang He opened his eyes wide, "But we don't need money for fodder... We don't have any money for horsemen, we raise horses at home..."
"Fuck..." Cao Chun suddenly said nothing.
After a while of silence, Cao Chun's eyes turned, "In this way, the price will drop again on your side... Then I will also get some good things for you... Of course, if you can help promote this business, we will definitely thank you very much..."
Wang He smiled, "Thank you for General Cao's good intentions, but... but we don't need your artifacts, as long as they are converted into money..."
『Why?』 Cao Chun widened his eyes, 『It's so troublesome to settle with money? You still need to use money to purchase. At that time, the price of scattered purchasing is higher, and you may not be able to get real good things... Don't worry, the things from our Cao family's workshop will definitely be better than the ordinary utensils on the market!』
Wang He nodded, "I know this...but, hey, General Cao, I'll tell the truth, your things are indeed good, but the price is a little more expensive, and so, compared to... well, the ones over there are still a little worse...so we think it's better to buy them there...more cost-effective... General Cao, do you think this is the reason?"
"No! No!" Cao Chun wanted to get angry, but he didn't know where to get angry. After all, what Wang He said was the fact. Guanzhong's industrial development has obviously surpassed Shandong. The integrated scale effect has led to a decrease in costs and an increase in quality, which has had a huge impact on Shandong workshops and workshops dominated by traditional handicrafts.
Ordinary people do not know what the political meaning of things is. Most people just look at the quality of things. Therefore, even if the Cao family and Xiahou family impose political orders and gimmicks, they require the public to purchase products from Shandong workshops and workshops with big Han gimmicks, it is just a flash in the pan. When the people find that the products of these workshops and workshops in Shandong are fools and the products are not easy to sell and expensive, the only enthusiasm will naturally dissipate.
So Cao Chun now not only wants to buy Jiankun’s war horse, but also wants to find a way to sell his own products.
"No!" Cao Chun frowned, "This is absolutely not possible!"
Wang He waved his hand, not afraid of the breakdown of the negotiations at all. "General Cao, since that's the case... Then General Cao thought about it again. If there is any change, it will not be too late for us to continue to talk..."
