Chapter 2828: The governance of the Western Region is discussed by everyone, and all merits and demerits are evaded
This kind of thing is not only for monkeys, nor is it only for stupid people, it is also applicable to those who have vested class interests in the Han Dynasty who are well-read in classics and proficient in politics.
When the Han Dynasty began to dig corners of the Western Regions, the Huns who had penetrated deeply into the Western Regions early, that is, the child servant captains, I don’t know whether they didn’t feel the small hoe wielded by the big man, or they knew it and didn’t care at all. Anyway, they were in a larger place. For a long period of time, there was no action, let alone any countermeasures.
It can be seen that the establishment of the Huns' military and political institutions in the Western Regions was actually very simple. It was not until the Han people established the Protectorate in the Western Regions that the Huns were forced to follow the Han people's example and dispatch a larger army. Deep into the Western Region, we also started to farm near the country behind Cheshi...
With the political system of the Xiongnu at that time, it was impossible to complete a colonial political system, even in the post-Mongol era. Because there is an obvious step between tribal alliances and feudal dynasties. If you cannot climb it, you will naturally be unstable. .
Throughout the entire process of the Xiongnu's influence on the Western Regions, most of the time they were actually restricted by their own tribal alliance system. They stationed child servant captains and collected taxes regularly. In other domestic and even diplomatic matters, the Xiongnu let the countries in the Western Regions take care of themselves. At the same time, the rulers of the city-states in the Western Regions are not required to participate in political activities of nomadic tribes such as alliance conferences. In fact, this is not a colonial relationship of suzerain and vassal at all, but more like a black boss collecting protection fees.
As for the whole process of the Xiongnu and the Han fighting for the Western Region, it is more like societies fighting for territory...
Looking back at the Han Dynasty, the Protectorate was established in the Western Regions, responsible for the administration of many city-states and states around the entire Tarim Basin. , the captain, Qiqu, the household, the general, the prime minister, the marquis, and the king all wear Han seal ribbons, there are 376 of them."
It seems like a lot, but in fact, how many are these 376 people scattered over such a large area in the Western Region? The big Han regarded these people, that is, these "376 people", on the surface They became officials of the Protectorate, but in fact these people did not receive any specific salary, and they were basically equivalent to temporary workers of the Han Dynasty.
And what is very interesting is that the Han Dynasty canonized the rulers of these city-states and included them in the tribute system earlier than the establishment of the Western Region Protectorate. In other words, these so-called canonized officials were first established, and later they were With the Protectorate...
From this point of view, the Han's early attitude towards the Western Regions was actually no different from the strategy adopted by the Xiongnu. The boss did not laugh at the second.
In the early days, everyone didn’t understand it, which was no problem, but it was obvious that the knowledge system and cultural structure of the Han Dynasty were much higher than those of the Xiongnu. Then after realizing the importance of the Western Regions, they still adopted the tactic of adding fuel to the fire, which was somewhat disappointing. I wonder if there is a major mistake in the overall strategy.
What was the purpose of the Han Dynasty in establishing the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and what was its initial positioning?
contain.
Fight Doudou, uh, fight the Huns.
Yes, this was the original purpose of the Han Dynasty in opening up the Western Regions, but in the process, the Han Dynasty did not gain any benefits from the Silk Road?
"Gongda, let's talk about the benefits of the Western Region." Fei Qian said to Xun You calmly.
Xun You nodded and accepted the order, took out a booklet from his sleeve, unfolded it and said: "Lacquer, porcelain, silk, silk, etc. are all for profit. Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, a total of 120,000 official lacquerware have been sold, and the price is
It ranges from ten qian to several hundred qian, totaling more than 40,000 yuan.」
"The total number of official porcelain sold..."
"Silk sales plan..."
Xun You spoke little by little.
From the workers at the production site, the supply of workshops, to the production quantity, and finally to the sales income, looking at a certain project alone, it does not seem to be very big, but in the end, in total, Feiqian has unknowingly exported by opening the Western Region trade.
Nearly one million pounds of goods. Of course, these values are not pure income, but also minus costs and miscellaneous expenses.
After Xun You finished speaking, he glanced at Fei Qian. Seeing that Fei Qian had no additional expression, he passed the book to others to read, and then added indifferently, "In addition to the official articles of the Han Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, there are also private articles among the people."
Sales, not yet included.』
Even so, Guo Tu and Feng Ji, who finally had the opportunity to attend the meeting, smacked their lips. Looking at Xun You's statistics booklet, their eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Xun You only talked about export sales, and did not mention profits from in-house purchases, imported labor and other aspects. However, just the total of export sales is enough to explain some problems.
Brothers, they are still settling accounts openly. Xun You did not report the profits from Fei Qian's consignment of goods from the Western Regions because he wanted to prevent Guo Tu and Feng Ji from spreading the news to the whole world.
As for the high profit of goods sold to the Western Regions, it is not something that happened only in the past two days. The Han Dynasty of three to four hundred years knew it, and among them, the people who paid the most attention to this profit were the Han people from Shandong.
It can be said that it is precisely because of such high profits that the people in Shandong, the Han Dynasty, deliberately suppressed and used self-harm. Well, perhaps in the eyes of the people in Shandong, this method is not considered self-harm...
Just like when later generations suddenly wanted to promote blended milk at a certain stage, milk drinks made of water and chemicals, which were later called flavored drinks, a vigorous and vigorous campaign suddenly broke out for the Chinese and even the Chinese people.
It was an academic paper about lactose intolerance in Asians, a large-scale study, and then some companies jumped out and said that they had developed a new water-containing compound drink to address this problem, which tastes like milk.
And absolutely no lactose!
This is true. There is really no lactose at all. Well, there are no other nutrients as well. However, they will only emphasize the first half of the sentence. Anyone with a little bit of thinking knows that no matter what they claim, it is 60%.
Okay, even 90%. There are even more exaggerated claims of 99%, and they also claim some gene sequences and other decent examples to prove that Asians are not suitable for lactose. Both adults and children are lactose intolerant.
I have never thought about how the nomads in Asia have survived for thousands of years in history?
Another point is that lactose is not only found in cow's and goat's milk, but also in human milk.
Anyone who doesn't talk about specific amounts is just being a hooligan.
Absolutely, there must be a problem.
The Han Shandong people acted like hooligans during the Eastern Han Dynasty. These people exaggerated the problems in the Western Regions, and then avoided talking about the issue of profit, saying that there was no benefit at all in recovering the Western Regions, so it was better to lose it. There was really no benefit.
Isn’t it true? It’s just that it has no more benefits for Shandong.
Once the Western Region becomes important, economic development, and commercial prosperity will mean that the three assistants of Chang'an will also be revitalized. How can this be accepted by the people of Shandong who finally stood around the emperor? So they decided to cut down the Western Region even if they hurt themselves.
In this regard, on the surface, he loudly advertised that he was loyal, that only agriculture was the foundation of China, and that commerce was only done by bitches, a low-level profession, and then he secretly became an official and businessman.
In the final analysis, those who shout loudly every day and advocate that agriculture and mulberry trees are the foundation of China are basically the landlord class. For their own interests in the land, they will not hesitate to entangle all kinds of obstacles and dig holes in China's progress.
.After all, if China really goes abroad, the total amount of land will definitely increase, and then the housing prices, uh, ahem, the unit price per acre will definitely not be maintained!
"At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Huns were the main force. The land of the Western Regions was the country's territory. The Western Regions Protectorate came into being." Fei Qian pointed to the simple booklet recording the trade profits of the Western Regions and said, "However,
Since the establishment of the Protectorate, there have been many inconveniences. Information and orders have not been delivered. Things in the Western Regions are also very different from those in the Central Plains. Therefore, there are always exceptions in military and political matters. Even though Ban Dingyuan is loyal,
There is a suspicion of Ban Yiliu. As the saying goes, Dingyuan is healthy and generous, specializing in traveling to the west. Walking calmly on the green snow, walking behind the dragon sand. Being calm can also resist anger, and bravery can bear the burden..."
"The same principle applies to the Protectorate of the Western Regions today." Fei Qian looked around and said, "Now that we have seen this disadvantage, we should have countermeasures. During the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, people living in the Western Regions have experienced this phenomenon repeatedly. It only concerns soldiers and generals.
It is not the skill of a wise man to make mistakes, or to place blame. It is not a long-term strategy. You can discuss this matter, and there is no need to shy away from it."
……(*`ェ′*)……
Western Region, camp outside Xihai City.
"General Zhang... none of this... none of this should have happened..."
"Yeah, we don't want this either..."
Zhang Liao followed the military officers who expressed their apology and arrived at the camp.
Zhang Liao initially thought that these military academies were really repentant, but he suddenly discovered that things were not that simple.
Several military officers fell to the ground, kowtowed and cried bitterly.
"Yes, General Zhang, we don't want this either..."
The military academy commander lowered his head and spoke.
After crying for a long time, all that was left was a distorted face and no tears of regret.
The general kneeling in front is named Ma. It is said that he is a relative of Ma Yan, but it seems that he has not been recognized by Ma Yan. However, it does not matter. This does not prevent General Ma from boasting.
Now, it seems that Ma Qianjiang's ability to brag before has begun to gradually come into play.
"General Zhang, we really can't all be blamed for this..."
Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes, "Oh? Then you tell me, I'll listen."
"It's General Wei's fault!" General Ma Pian said, "He deducted our military pay! General Zhang, this is true! If General Wei hadn't deducted our military pay, we wouldn't be where we are today!"
Zhang Liao took a deep look at General Ma Pian, and then turned his attention to the other three officers.
Among the other three officers, Jin Xi had the highest title and seniority. When he saw Zhang Liao looking over, he lowered his head and said, "General Mingjian, General Wei has indeed deducted our military pay. Starting from last year, military pay has been reduced."
The distribution is insufficient... It is difficult for a young man in the army to have food and clothing, so I thought that since the higher-ups have done this..."
As he spoke, Jin Xi raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhang Liao quietly. When he saw Zhang Liao squinting at him, his two eyes so deep that they could not see the bottom were shining with a faint light, Jin Xi felt something in his heart and hurriedly changed his words.
, "...Actually, we also have responsibilities, and everyone is involved..." After a pause, he felt that it was still wrong to say this, so he added, "...I am also sorry for the brothers here. It's just that I was stupid, and I didn't do it at the time.
I didn’t think of any good solution...』
"So what if I think of a good idea?" Before Jin Xi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ma Pianjiang. Ma Pianjiang clenched his fists, tightening them and tightening them, and the veins on his hands
It would appear and disappear for a while, "The only one to blame is the superiors! We are all paid as soldiers, what will we do without the soldiers' pay? We can't just live in the soil! General Zhang, we are indeed responsible for this matter."
, but more of the responsibility is not ours, and we are also unjustly accused! Unjustly accused!"
When Ma Pian said such words, Jin Xi couldn't help but feel embarrassed. His face trembled a few times, turning blue, red, purple, and white. His lips wriggled a few times, but he did not open his mouth to rebuke or retort. He lowered his head in slight shame.
He didn't dare to look directly into Zhang Liao's eyes and stopped talking.
Zhang Liao turned back, looked at General Ma, and smiled, "In that case, whose problem do you think is responsible for this "higher authority"? Is it just General Wei?"
"Uh..." Ma Xiang rolled his eyes, "Well... since General Zhang has asked this... I dare to say that these are also questions for the Protector..."
General Ma Pian looked at Zhang Liao and seemed neither sad nor happy. He didn't seem angry because he mentioned Lu Bu, nor did he stop him because of it. He just had a little more courage, "General! The root cause of this matter is actually the protector of the capital!"
What does General Wei know? He doesn’t know anything, he can’t even do basic exercises, so... the Protector General is really responsible for this! If he hadn’t indulged General Wei, how could General Wei dare to be so arrogant and domineering?”
Zhang Liao laughed twice and nodded, "It makes sense, um, it does make sense. Keep going, keep going... Is there anything else you want to add?"
When General Ma Pian heard Zhang Liao's agreement, he couldn't help but straighten his back a little, "Actually, I forgive my subordinates for being disrespectful. The general of the hussars is also responsible for this matter!"
Zhang Liao's eyebrows moved, but his smile didn't change much, "Oh? This statement... is somewhat interesting. Could you please explain it in detail?"
"The current situation in the Western Regions, the General Hussar is not aware of it, right? General Wei is doing this every day, and most of the guards ignore it. The General Hussar can always take care of it, right? It's not easy for all of us sons.
We are all soldiers under the command of the General Hussar! If there was no connivance from the General Hussar, how could the Protector-General be so lax? If the Protector-General were not lax, how could he give General Wei the opportunity to cause trouble and deduct military pay?"
The more General Ma Pian spoke, the more excited he became, "So in the final analysis, this is all the fault of the Hussar General! The Hussar General deliberately indulged the Great Protector, which led to all this!"
Zhang Liao pinched his beard and nodded, "What you said...is really interesting...well, do you think that everything in the Western Region...is the fault of the General Hussars?"
"Well, this... this is not what my subordinates think, it's what all my brothers think. I'm just telling my subordinates what they think..." General Ma Pian also smiled, "Chang'an Three
The people of Fu are their destiny, so aren’t the people of the Western Regions their destiny? The soldiers in Chang’an are good men, so aren’t the soldiers in the Western Regions good men? I don’t believe it, uh, no, it is
We all feel that this matter in the Western Regions has not happened in a day or two. How could the General Hussar not notice it at all? If he had discovered it, why not stop it? If the General Hussar could have stopped the Protector earlier, he would have investigated it
General Wei, wouldn't these things stop happening? People wouldn't have died so many, and the people wouldn't have suffered..."
"So... in the final analysis, it's all the fault of General Hussar?" Zhang Liao couldn't help but move his eyebrows and laughed twice, "Do you think that everything happening in the Western Regions today is because General Hussar failed to take care of it?"
, failed to correct it in time, failed to deal with it immediately, and even deliberately condoned it...Is that so? From what you said, it seems that it is indeed the problem of the General Hussars..."
General Ma Pian couldn't help but smile, "These are all the ideas of the gentlemen... I just restated and summarized..."
Ma Xiangjiang likes to involve himself on something. This may be because he has always claimed that he is related to Ma Yan, but there is no substantial connection. He feels that only when he is attached to something,
Only then will he appear to have more value. This leads to the fact that after he makes a mistake, the first thing he thinks of is not his own problem, but the fault of others.
It was Wei Xu who caused it, it was Lu Bu who caused it, it was Fei Qian who caused it, it was the world that caused it, and he himself could continue to play the victim, pathetically blaming others, everything was caused by others, to death
Seize everything around you and drag these people into the water, so as to relieve your own guilt or reduce your own guilt.
Aren't you Zhang Liao powerful? Can you deal with Wei Xu, deal with Lu Bu, or even hold Fei Qian accountable? If not, then you are just tracing my mistakes, aren't you not good enough or thorough enough? Then there is
There was another opportunity to accuse Zhang Liao of being timid, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, etc., and finally reached the highest level of turning big things into small things...
"But..." Zhang Liao smiled, "I also have a small problem... a poor man had no money to buy food, so he went to kill someone on the road and robbed the money to buy food. He was caught, and then the poor man said
It's not his fault. What's wrong is that the shop didn't see that he had no money and gave him a bite of food first. What's wrong is that the government didn't stop him when he went to kill people. What's wrong is that the most profitable thing in the world is not considered.
Do it for him! In other words, when a child is at home, he is supervised and taught by his parents, and naturally everything will be fine. Now that the child has grown up, walked out of the house, and did something wrong, the child will turn around.
Saying that parents didn’t tell, didn’t control, or didn’t teach well, everything is the parents’ responsibility? What do you think, is this right or wrong? 』
The smile on Ma Xianjiang's face gradually disappeared, the hand he had been holding opened, and then he shook it slightly backward twice.
Zhang Liao looked outside the tent, where a figure seemed to move for a moment and then disappeared.
"Hmph..." Zhang Liao snorted softly, "Now I know that the hussar didn't teach, didn't teach, and didn't take care of it? Then what is the law of corruption and malfeasance over there? Even if there is no law of corruption and malfeasance, the Han Dynasty
What are the three chapters of the first covenant? He who kills must pay with his life! Shouldn’t you still blame Taizu for not teaching you in person?”
General Ma Pian also darkened his face and stood up, "General Zhang... It doesn't make sense to say this... When the generals came to the Western Regions, the hussar should have known that the generals were protective of their own shortcomings, and General Wei was greedy and fearful. But,
General Hussar is still sending generals here! This is why Hussar went to the Western Regions without caring about the people! He is going to kill us! General Zhang, this is always right!"
Ma Pianjiang shouted, and almost at the same time, as if echoing his shout, before his voice could even finish, a huge noise suddenly came from outside the camp!
