Chapter 2776 Everyone is busy

Ancestral Temple.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Liu Xie laughed.

He hadn't felt like this for a long time.

In other words, he hasn't seen Cao Cao in a bad mood for a long time.

Liu Xie's current situation is not in line with his own plan. Liu Xie held a celebration, but in fact it was almost nothing. Household registration is something Liu Xie wants, but he can't have it now. Because once he expresses

He wants to compile households and check hidden households, which means that he will stand on the opposite side of the local gentry, which is contrary to his original plan to win over the local gentry to fight against Cao Cao.

Cao Cao easily messed up his carefully planned strategy. Will Liu Xie accept it calmly?

In fact, anyone who knows a little about history will know that only relying on the people, that is, the people at the grassroots level, is the foundation of a dynasty. When the wishes of the emperor or the upper-level rulers are consistent with the people at the grassroots level, the whole society will burst out.

The energy is amazing, but the problem lies here, this consistency is often difficult to maintain.

Not all emperors or upper-level rulers are willing to be consistent with ordinary people at the grassroots level. When they have no food, they have no food, and when they have no clothes, they have no clothes. When emperors or upper-level rulers cannot control themselves,

When people have desires and want to enjoy better things, greed will naturally separate them from ordinary grassroots people.

Therefore, Liu Xie believed that his "people" could only reach the level of country squire. If he were asked to think about it, he would not be able to think of anything.

And in Liu Xie's heart, he still had some hope. Back then, he escaped from such a terrible military rebellion in Xiliang and fought his way out despite being surrounded by Dong Zhuo, Li Guo and others. Now, no matter what,

, are much better than before, and some officials in the court are gradually leaning towards him, which is a good thing.

He came through this step by step and did it step by step. He said that he did not have any pride at all. He was lying to avoid it. It is just that he really has no way to deal with Cao Cao now. One day he will be able to do it.

Cao Cao, isn't the world in his hands immediately?

Liu Xie also knew that in order to achieve this, he had a lot of things to take care of, prepare, and plan, and there was no need to rush. The more urgent it was, the more likely it would be chaos. Just like his celebration this time, in the second half of

Part of the content of the Nongsang matter was actually caused by Liu Xie's temporary change of mind, so it would inevitably appear unsatisfactory.

This is an objective problem, but it does not mean that Liu Xie can objectively recognize that he was manipulated by Cao Cao.

Therefore, Liu Xie carefully thought about it. The reason why he was caught by Cao Cao was because his contact with the squire was not enough, so he naturally could not achieve better results in the first time, but this is also

Things that take a certain amount of time, so he can make arrangements in the subsequent time until...

However, in the process of establishing mutual trust and communication between him and the local gentry, wouldn't it be just right for the Qiaoqi to check and balance the Prime Minister? Now seeing that Wang Chang had foiled Cao Cao's plan and disrupted Cao Cao's arrangement, Liu Xie

The idea of ​​seeing Cao Cao's jokes came up in my mind.

Ha ha ha ha……

It’s not that he couldn’t help it, Liu Xie wouldn’t laugh. After all, he can be regarded as a person who has a deeper understanding of the profession of emperor. However, when Liu Xie recalled Cao Cao’s last expression in the hall,

When he couldn't hold back the collapsed situation, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He laughed so hard in the Ancestral Temple that he had to hold on to the incense table to stand steady.

But after laughing heartily for a while, Liu Xie suddenly seemed to be stuck on the pause button, and his expression began to change a little.

Because Liu Xie remembered Cao Cao's embarrassment and embarrassment at that time, and also recalled Cao Cao's vague words when he left the hall: "There are so many talented people under Qiusi's command..."

……Σ(дlll)……

Xun Yu's home.

Guo Jia's eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, but he didn't say it immediately.

"Wang Wenshu is right." Xun Yu said slowly.

A wise man will make a mistake every time he thinks.

Even Mr. Luo's Brother Zhu was opened by Wei Yan, wasn't he?

Guo Jia nodded slowly but still said nothing.

After Wang Chang expressed the problem of measurement, Xun Yu immediately organized the craftsmen to conduct verification almost non-stop, and found that this was indeed the case. Not only were the measuring tools used in Shandong inconsistent with those in Guanzhong, but there were even differences in the measuring instruments between different craftsmen.

error.

After all, in this era, these measuring tools are all handmade products, not mass-produced by machines. In addition, due to daily use and wear and tear, it is reasonable to have some errors, but it is these errors that make gunpowder

There are various problems with the ratio.

"I can't understand..." Xun Yu said slowly, "I can't understand..."

"It's not that you can't understand, it's that you don't dare to understand..." Guo Jia said cheerfully, "I want to drink. Do you want to have a drink too?"

For Xun Yu, he really never expected that Wang Chang would really "share" these matters about gunpowder. He had made many assumptions, but basically like other counselors, he felt that Wang Chang would most likely deny and delay, and then

They were able to force Wang Chang into a blind corner step by step, but Wang Chang's method of breaking the situation was so direct that Xun Yu and others were caught off guard and couldn't figure it out.

Is it possible that Wang Chang is not worried about being punished by Qiaoqi after he returns?

Gunpowder is such an important thing, and the secrets and techniques involved are explained in this way?

If Wang Chang didn't talk about measurement, how long would it take for Shandong craftsmen to understand the difference?

It's hard to say.

But at least in this way, Xun Yu and others will know the problem and start to make improvements...

etc.

Xun Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, "You just thought of it now?"

Xun Yu was silent for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and tapped it in the air, "This is the subtlety... It's like a blind man touching an elephant, each holding his own opinion, which one is true? Do you think this is measurement? This is unity! Unity! You

Can it be used? Do you dare to use it? Even if you dare to use it, do other people dare to do it?! Hahaha, hahaha..."

Guo Jia is right.

Why did Qin Shihuang clearly defeat the Six Kingdoms, but still could not effectively control the Six Kingdoms? The big reason is that the Six Kingdoms have become accustomed to their own original set of things, whether it is coins or measurements, and Qin forced

When we were undergoing transformation and unification, some intentional and unintentional people turned good things into bad things.

Just like in the feudal dynasty, it is obviously a good thing for the court to provide disaster relief, but some people can make a fortune through disaster relief, and then turn the good thing into a bad thing, and then cause more disasters...

Therefore, it is actually quite difficult to implement the whole set of things promoted in Guanzhong here in Shandong. Imagine that in later generations, when a call can be made from the north to the south, if anything happens, a court will need to be dispatched.

Only the presence of court officials can provide limited supervision. Not to mention that in the current era of Han Dynasty, if you want to rely on just a few laws or issuing a few notices, it can be like some games to show that the country has been successfully implemented. It is completely

impossible.

That's the problem.

But what if, what if, Shandong has already adopted Guanzhong’s standards?

What if Shandong had already transformed into the shape of the Hussar before the Hussar invaded Shandong?

Will it become very lubricated when rubbed?

This is more explosive than gunpowder.

Gunpowder may be able to blow down a city wall or several city gates, but if these Guanzhong measurement standards and various systems continue to operate in Shandong, it will not just be the city walls or city gates that will collapse.

So, Qiusi doesn't care...

Wang Chang also understands this as someone who has been with Xiuqi for a long time and has been nurtured in the Xishang Shutai.

What Guanzhong wants is long-term "unification", not temporary "surrender".

The blind man touched the elephant, and he indeed touched something, but is the elephant really what he touched?

Xun Yu thought about this, and then he let out a long sigh.

After meeting Hussar, Xun Yu found that he seemed to sigh more often in a year than in the previous ten or twenty years.

"Anyway, it's a good thing to know the importance of measuring gunpowder this time." Xun Yu said slowly, not sure whether he was talking to himself or Guo Jia.

Guo Jia sat aside and shook his head after hearing Xun Yu's words, "No, no! Do you think it's a good thing? You really underestimate those people... Let me ask you, when this gunpowder spread to Shandong,

There are at least thousands of craftsmen in Shandong, not just tens of thousands. Do you think that none of them have discovered the problem with the measurement of gunpowder? If not, then why not? If there is... hahahaha, then why haven't there been any until now?

What does one person say?』

Xun Yu fell silent.

Guo Jia laughed hahaly, but the laughter was a little dry, "So, Qiaoqi is not afraid at all... He is not afraid..."

The cold wind in the winter night was howling and sweeping, as if there was some huge monster breathing in the sky, and also seemed to be laughing...

Xun Yu stood up and walked out in silence.

"Uh, where are you going?" Guo Jia asked.

Xun Yu stopped and lowered his head slightly. The light of the angry wind lantern shone on his face, flickering brightly and dimly. "Since you know what the hussar is not afraid of, then do what the hussar is afraid of! Aren't the heroes in the world not the hussar?"

Just one person?"

After saying that, Xun Yu walked forward, walking towards the darkness.

Xun Yu has a tall and straight figure and steady steps.

"Uh (⊙o⊙)..." Guo Jia's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand as if to say hello, or to say something, but after a moment, he put down his hand, shook his head and sighed, and then

He stood up, casually tightened his belt, shook his sleeves, and followed Xun Yu's footsteps.

After a while, Guo Jia came back, grabbed the wine gourd that was forgotten on the floor, and then turned around and left again.

……(⊙⊙)……

Posthouse.

"Get ready, we are leaving." Wang Chang ordered, "This is Prime Minister Cao's warning... Next time, it may not be limited to theory..."

Cao Cao is chasing Wang Chang.

Cao Cao didn't even trust the generals around him, so how could he trust Wang Chang to continue to stay in Xu County?

What if Wang Chang abducts the emperor who originally had some thoughts of cheating?

After all, it is a baby cabbage that has been raised for a while.

Even if Cao Cao knew that Fei Qian was there, he might not welcome the emperor, but what if?

Wang Chang knows this very well.

The celebration held by the emperor was over, and they had no reason to stay in Xu County.

It's just that there is a difference between being coaxed away, ridiculed and going back in despair, or going back in the face of Shandong people.

"Your Majesty, if you announce the secret of gunpowder to the public, will you..." Wang He said hesitantly. He had just heard about this matter, and he was somewhat worried, "What if the hussar is not happy..."

Wang He is here to assist Wang Chang, so of course he is not willing to bear the same responsibilities as Wang Chang.

Not everyone is a warrior, and not everyone wants to have heavy responsibilities on their shoulders.

Wang He may not necessarily feel that he should step forward to do something that Wang Chang feels is his unshirkable responsibility. After all, if the envoy loses face or something, it has nothing to do with Wang He. Anyway, it is Wang Chang who is the envoy, and Wang He is only here as a consultant and assistant.

Yes, but if the hussar becomes angry, he doesn't care what happens to Wang Chang after he returns, but he cares about whether he himself will be implicated, so Wang He is very worried.

Wang Chang glanced at Wang He and said with a smile: "I will record this matter in detail. It is my fault and has nothing to do with you two..."

Wang He waved his hands repeatedly and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "I, I don't mean that..."

Wang He looked at Wang Chang, with some helplessness and pain in his eyes, "I...I have a family, old and young to support, if...I'm sorry, your Majesty, I'm very sorry..."

If Wang He was ten years younger, or had not yet started a family, then Wang He would not necessarily feel worried, and might even participate in starting a big family. But he can't do that now. He needs to support his family. If something happens to him,

, his home collapsed. The so-called pillar of the family is by no means just talk.

Wang Chang nodded and said seriously: "Although I don't dare to say that I am 100% certain, I am still almost certain... This matter cannot be said to be true and Hussar's intention, so you don't need to worry."

Wang Chang's position is higher than that of Wang He and others, so of course he can see farther and more. For Wang Chang, his position is not important at the moment. What is important is whether he can keep up.

The pace of the hussar is what Wang Chang feels is the most important thing.

During this mission to Shandong, Wang Chang discovered a very interesting question, which is why these Shandong people, after receiving the support of the Husband's Bachelor of Agriculture and Bachelor of Engineering, did not work in agriculture and water conservancy.

And in other aspects, it still cannot keep up with the speed of Guanzhong, or even maintains its original state?

Is it because the Hussars are hiding their secrets in the skills of these bachelors of agriculture and engineering?

According to Wang Chang’s knowledge, there is no such thing, and not only Feiqian’s bachelor of agriculture and bachelor of engineering, but also Shandong sent people to Guanzhong, either to learn something or to collect customs, just like Dong Yu sent them back to Shandong

Of what they saw and heard, these people would certainly not have deliberately concealed or deceived them, but why was there still not much change?

Farmers still have to plow the fields naked, and they still work hard to turn over the soil with primitive tools. They obviously have the latest technology and equipment, but they still use old tools and old methods?

After Wang Chang arrived in Xu County, he met with the Shandong gentry children in Xu County and participated in a banquet. Only then did he gradually understand that it was not that the Shandong gentry children did not accept these new technologies and methods of Hussar, but that they

Basically all the children of the Shandong gentry regard these things as a way to make a fortune!

Although Wang Chang did not know the definition of monopoly, he was aware of this problem.

These children of the Shandong gentry only want to make a fortune for themselves, and have never thought of promoting these technologies so that more people can benefit!

The sons of the Shandong gentry are like guarding against thieves, guarding against ordinary people, controlling tenants and farmers, carefully calculating every money bag and every penny of these low-level people, and wishing to empty out the money bags of everyone in their family.

If all the wealth is deprived, how can new technologies and new tools be used by these ordinary people?

The people in Shandong had their money bags emptied, so naturally they couldn't afford new tools. Then they found ways to let these farmers rent them, setting high rental fees, often for twenty or thirty years, so that these farmers could rent them.

The people are tightly tied to the land. Every day they open their eyes, they have to work. Otherwise, they will not be able to repay the rent, and they will be driven out of their homes and become refugees!

Under such circumstances, what motivation do the people in Shandong have to develop and innovate?

They don't have time.

People are busy making a living and life is very difficult. How can we talk about innovation and development?

As for the children of the Shandong gentry, they have been able to use this model to obtain a large amount of wealth and deprive themselves of a large amount of surplus value. Their stomachs are three times bigger than those of pregnant women. What will they have to think about?

Pioneering and innovative? They are like dogs. No matter what the hussar throws, they will fiercely pounce on it, protect it, and then threaten everyone who dares to come close, to ensure that they can enjoy these benefits exclusively, generation after generation.

They are not free either.

The children of the gentry are busy having fun. One after another of the entertainment places in Xu County has opened, such as Anpingfang and Taikangli. They are very busy, big and small. Who has time to think about technological development?

"Let's go," Wang Chang breathed out, "Staying in this place for too long will make me feel decayed..."

Everyone around them nodded.

After a while, the Commander-in-Chief Chen Bin suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there is one thing... that is a bit troublesome..."
