When Meng Huo faced Xu Shu, he felt somewhat scared and nervous.
He is not afraid of the Han people using their swords and guns, but he is afraid of the Han people using their brains.
When the Han people hold swords and guns, he can still make a few gestures with the Han people, but when the Han people use their brains...
Especially when facing Xu Shu, Meng Huo couldn't guess what he was thinking!
Ba people?
Badong?
Meng Huo's little brain melon seeds began to spin rapidly, and he just needed to add a supercharging device.
Badong, like Nanzhong, although it is said to be a Han county on the surface, there are actually many ethnic minorities. However, since they have been living together since the pre-Qin Dynasty, basically there is not much ethnic hatred. The level of hatred between them is not too high.
In this area, there were countries such as Ba Kingdom and Yelang Kingdom. Maybe at the beginning there were some people who were thinking about the restoration of the country, but after hundreds of years, no matter how strong the feelings and hatred for the restoration of the country were, the Disappeared with the death of the body.
From a macro perspective, there are only two ethnic minorities in Sichuan and Shu.
One is the Qiang, Rong, and Di people who came from the north and evolved into tribes such as Kun, Sou, Bo, Qingqiang, Qiong, and Zeo, while the other is based on the Baiyue tribe, such as Pu, Liao, and Xi. Ba, etc. There are some more detailed classifications, so I won’t go into details.
Of course, these tribal peoples are not necessarily distributed from north to south, but because of the evolution of time and historical changes, they are intertwined with each other. Just like the old people are actually mostly in the south...
The Pu people among the Baiyue people are also called Baipu, and sometimes they are almost the same name as the Baiyue people.
During the Battle of Muye, the Pu people participated in the war, and it is said that there were many of them. They also established a country for a time, but because there was no adequate political system and no corresponding cultural derivatives, they were destroyed by the Chu State very early. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Pu people were even more dispersed, and then the Liao people were also derived.
As for the Ba people and the Jin people, there are actually some derivative relationships. Anyway, in this era when communication is extremely underdeveloped, just changing the totems may become a new tribe.
These ethnic minorities all have a problem, that is, in the long history, there has not been a core centripetal force, and naturally there is no way to talk about the so-called sense of belonging.
Because there is no unified thought, there is no concept of compatriots among the various tribes. Therefore, this time the Ba people came to Bashan to express their search for their ancestors, and then mentioned the long history of the Ba people and their mutual feelings, it would seem a bit strange. .
But this is a matter for the Ba people!
Meng Huo thought in his heart, what does this have to do with me?
Ge Laozi is not from Ba!
At most, they can only be regarded as the barbarians from the southwest, that is, the descendants of the Pu people.
But Meng Huo didn't know that it was precisely because he was not from Ba that he was specifically called to come.
Meng Huo wanted to ignore the matter and ignore it, but since he entered the officialdom and received his salary, he had to do something.
Xu Shu looked at Meng Huo scratching his head and scratching his head. He knew in his heart that Meng Huo's behavior was somewhat pretentious, but he did not point it out, "Meng Duwei, since you can't think of anything, just do it."
Meng Huo just took a breath and said, "But please give me your orders! I will obey all orders!" That's great, no need to use your brain.
Xu Shu said slowly: "Send some of your tribesmen, dressed in Ba people's clothes, to the Ba people's villages and fortresses to inquire about the current situation of the Ba people. If you have any information, report it immediately!"
Meng Huo naturally agreed and then withdrew without mentioning it.
Xu Shu watched Meng Huo walk away, still making calculations in his mind. Although he asked Meng Huo to come, he only wanted to ask a few questions and then explain a few words, but in fact the meaning behind it was not simple.
Meng Huo is not from Ba, so it is impossible to have any deep collusion with Ba people, but it cannot be said to be completely certain, so this is an early test.
Sichuan and Sichuan are a region with many ethnic minorities. Although the various ethnic minorities have no affiliation with each other and there is no basis for mutual cooperation, there will be some sad effects of the death of rabbits and foxes. Therefore, when treating some of them,
When you are in one tribe, you should also observe the attitudes of other tribes.
Just like this time when the Ba people came, we had to see how the descendants of the Pu people, or the Southwest Yi people, would react.
In addition, if Meng Huo is really not involved in Ba people's affairs, then he can be a suitable window to spy on the news. After all, Meng Huo and his men also like to wear barbarian costumes, have tattoos on their faces and body, and also like to paint
Some colors and so on are very different from the daily behavior of the Han people, so it is easier to sneak into the ranks of the Ba people, inquire about the specific situation, and compare it with what the Ba people reported.
The third point is that not long after Nanzhong was pacified, although Zhuge Liang used methods such as opening roads, removing villages and building villages to break up the powerful alliance in Nanzhong, this did not mean that the threat from Nanzhong disappeared immediately. We still need to be careful.
.Now the powerful people in Nanzhong are laughing and laughing. That’s because Sichuan and Shu have provided subsidies.
What about when the subsidy is cancelled, or when the tilt is reduced?
What was originally a favor may turn into hatred!
When to reduce or reduce the tax and under what name to cancel it is a science and it is also an issue that needs to be considered. It is impossible to just issue a document and then just like the schools in later generations asking parents to donate resources for free services.
Yes, it means no? After all, the number of Nanzhong children in Xu Shu's current Sichuan Academy is not large enough, and they cannot take advantage of their parents' vital points and make them want to die like the schools in later generations did.
Therefore, if there is any problem with Meng Huo this time, this reason can be used immediately...
In addition, there is another point. It is obviously unrealistic and impossible to keep an eye on so many Ba people in Bashan, but it is easy to keep an eye on Meng Huo alone.
The right way is to use people to control people.
If Xu Shu wanted to govern Sichuan and Sichuan well, he could not do without the Han people, and of course these tribal leaders were indispensable. When it comes to education, it often takes two or three generations before the results gradually appear, and in this process, it is often possible because of the influence of local leaders.
Replacement, in order to pursue the performance of personal political achievements, intentionally or unintentionally negates the predecessor's approach, interrupting the process, causing all previous efforts to be wasted.
Fei Qian sent Xu Shu to Sichuan and Shu, and then sent Zhuge to come. Basically, they were two generations of local leaders.
And Xu Shu also needs to consider the leader of the third generation, which means he will most likely choose outstanding disciples from the Chengdu Academy and then send them to Chang'an. When he and Zhuge Liang are in power in Sichuan and Shu, these outstanding disciples can
He studied in Chang'an and then returned to Sichuan to select the most suitable person to assume the responsibility of the third generation of local leader.
All of this is based on people.
Talent is fundamental.
If the entire environment is turbulent and unstable, the people at the top and bottom cannot agree, the people at the bottom are in danger, and the middle-class nobles are in a dilemma, even if the people at the top sing loudly all day long, will there be talent?
As the steward of the entire Sichuan and Shu, Xu Shu must ensure that the entire Sichuan and Shu will not be affected by the Jiangdong War. Xu Shu knows very well that if Sichuan and Shu are not in chaos, even Zhou Yu will not be able to invade Sichuan and Shu. So Zhou Yu's
The overall strategy is very simple, increase the pressure on Sichuan and Shu, and then cause civil strife in Sichuan and Shu, and then there will be opportunities to take advantage of it.
Therefore, Xu Shu not only needs to keep an eye on the outside, but also needs to keep an eye on the inside.
"The envoy, Fa Xiaozhi, has arrived."
The attendants in the hall reported.
Xu Shu nodded, "Please."
Fa Zhen's identity makes Fa Zhenghui superior in nature and is more suitable for the political group close to Fei Qian.
Historically, Fazheng was also an important figure in welcoming Liu Bei to Sichuan, which shows that his relationship with the local gentry in Sichuan and Shu was not very harmonious. This lack of harmony is more about his attitude towards affairs, especially political power.
Inconsistent.
Although Fazheng is said to be the successor of the famous scholar Fazhen, he did not get such an excellent and comfortable life. Instead, he had to flee to central Sichuan to take refuge because of the turmoil in the world. Moreover, after arriving in Sichuan and Sichuan, the people of Sichuan and Shu also had a different understanding of Fa Zheng with a foreign accent.
Zheng Ai ignores them and even rejects them. Therefore, Fazheng cannot truly integrate with Sichuan and Shu. It can only seek to develop itself with external forces like Fei Qian and Xu Shu, which is a win-win situation.
"I have met the envoy." Fazheng bowed and saluted.
Xu Shu asked him to sit down, and then asked: "When the Ba people arrived in Badong, did they know that they were filial and upright?"
Fazheng laughed, "This is Jiangdong's plan."
Xu Shu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Please ask Xiao to discuss it directly."
Fazheng stroked his beard and said, "First throw stones to ask for directions, then use your voice to attack the east and west. It is impossible to say that Li Daitao will be followed behind..."
Xu Shu nodded, but after thinking for a while, he said: "There is still something unfulfilled about filial piety, so you might as well speak up."
Fazheng's eyes moved slightly, passing to the left and right.
Xu Shu waved his hand, signaling the surrounding servants to step back.
So Fazheng said in a low voice: "The mantis is catching the cicada and the oriole is behind it, but I don't know if Jiangdong wants to be the mantis now, or simply wants to be a hunter. When my lord entered Sichuan, he was very happy at first, but then
Now..."
Xu Shu smiled and said, "But it's about Li Qiao?"
Fazheng nodded, "I heard a little bit recently that Li Qiao was wrongly accused..."
Xu Shu snorted, "Does this mean that someone is unfair?"
How to deal with the ordinary people? The nobles never say to give them another chance. They always say that those unscrupulous people must be dealt with carefully, otherwise they do not understand how deep the sky is, how high the sky is, how thick the sky is, etc., but once they are bound by the law,
If you are a son of an official in the gentry system, some people will immediately change their words and say that no one can make mistakes without being a sage. Do you want to give people some opportunities to correct their mistakes...
When Xu Shu dealt with Li Qiao and others, he did so with great momentum. These nobles did not dare to jump on the flames, let alone support them in private. Now that the momentum has passed, some people have started to pick it up again, taking advantage of Jiangdong's advantage.
When the attack came, he was talking nonsense. He may not really want to overthrow Fei Qian and Xu Shu, but he was just showing off and seeking some benefits.
These gentry children will not touch the red lines drawn by Xu Shu, such as prices, but they will continue to test in other marginal areas...
This can also be regarded as the basic artistic ability for the children of the noble clan.
Fazheng's expression turned cold and he said: "I suspect that he is a Jiangdong spy, and he is deliberately taking the opportunity to cause trouble." Regardless of whether it is an entertainment or not, let's determine it first.
Xu Shu smiled slightly, without revealing Fazheng's little idea, "The Youwen Division is checking. But I'm afraid some manpower is insufficient. Xiaozhi, please deploy some more inspection experts to coordinate with the Youwen Division for inspection."
The territory of Sichuan and Sichuan is not small, and there are mountains, forests, rivers and other landforms. If you really hide a few people, let alone a big man, it will be difficult to find out even for future generations.
Fazheng responded, then glanced at Xu Shu, handed over his hands and said, "If a scholar from Sichuan and Shu is involved in treason and collaborating with foreign enemies... I don't know how you will deal with it, sir?"
"How is it in the academy?" Xu Shu asked without answering.
"It's not chaos yet." Fa Zheng said, "We are sending some soldiers to strengthen patrols around the academy, but... this can only be done in the open, but not in the dark... in case the students of the academy are deceived and cause trouble.
Come……"
The academy is a very important part of the education process. If there is a problem with the academy, it is very likely that a lot of the work that has been laid before will be in vain.
Compared with Chang'an Xuegong, the biggest problem of Chengdu Xuegong is that there is no Qinglong Temple.
Without the Qinglong Temple, there would be no way to invite so many great scholars from all over the country, who could almost represent the top first-level scholars in the entire Han Dynasty. If all the so-called great scholars from central Sichuan were invited, it would be impossible to go back to the old path of Chan Wei very quickly.
Go. Therefore, in Chengdu Academy, the content of learning is actually somewhat lagging behind, that is, those things that have been determined after discussions and discussions in Chang'an Academy.
The advantages of this naturally do not need to be discussed further, and the disadvantages are also the same.
Without deliberation and debate, just blindly learning and memorizing by rote. On the one hand, the memory is not deep, and on the other hand, it cannot completely eliminate some doubts in the learning process...
Teenagers have not been able to form a stable three views and are easily overturned.
Therefore, under Fei Qian's rule, as long as the territory is more stable, the school palace will be opened first. This is also a tradition since Hedong. From a long-term perspective, start from the ideological level of the children instead of waiting until a group of children are shouting "You"
When I was a sixth child, I only had headaches and pains in my head and feet. Then I banned this and that. What were you doing?
When we were laughing and collecting all kinds of profits and taxes before, why didn't anyone scream at the beast?
"Well, that's a problem." Xu Shu said slowly, "Then... we might as well advance the competition."
"Academic competition?" Fazheng asked, "This... I'm afraid it's a bit hasty."
"It's indeed a bit hasty." Xu Shu said, "But it doesn't matter, just increase the rewards generously, and people will naturally come... In addition, these rewards cannot be in the name of the government... Well, by the way, they are presented by various workshops and shops.
...』
If Fei Qian is there, he must give Xu Shu a thumbs up.
Although Xu Shu did not know that there would be a so-called nominal sponsorship business model in later generations, Xu Shu understood this point by himself. Based on the reasons for "sponsorship" of these official workshops and shops under the Husband,
The original purpose was just to make the prizes of the Academy Competition more generous and divert students' attention, but at the same time, such generous prizes could not become an official rule, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the competition in the long term.
In addition to this consideration, Xu Shu also considered that he could improve the reputation of some official workshops and shops in the minds of the students in the academy...
To develop usage habits, of course we must start with teenagers.
When Fei Qian first entered Sichuan, he adopted a tolerant strategy towards the Sichuan-Shu gentry system, just like Liu Bei married Wu's widow, just to show a win-win attitude of cooperation. However, Liu Bei's method was to unite Sichuan and Sichuan
The head power of the Shu gentry would then check and balance Sichuan and Shu, while Fei Qian focused on the middle level of the Sichuan and Shu gentry from the beginning, adopting a strategy of directly following the market economy and using commodities to invade.
It's like the same two APPs. One of them found someone from the top, or some big influencer, and preached about it. It was a conscientious work, cheap and good, but the other one was not found.
Those brick-and-mortar merchants simply offer discounts to keep their prices down.
So Liu Bei, who didn't have much capital, naturally couldn't hold on...
Liu Bei was defeated in the competition for the Sichuan-Sichuan market, and Liu Zhang, a native of Sichuan and Shu, was also kicked out of office. Of course, Fei Qian began to use the capital street lamp method of later generations, so the Sichuan-Shu gentry began to feel that something was wrong.
But the problem is that these Sichuan and Shu nobles couldn't keep up with the trip. They just felt that the path Fei Qian was taking was wrong, but they couldn't figure out what the problem was. For example, Li Qiao felt that their old path was better, more accustomed to it, and more comfortable. In Li Qiao's case, especially
After the Qiao clan incident, the gentry children in Sichuan and Sichuan obviously stopped a lot, but this does not mean that they are convinced. Maybe they also know that taking Fei Qian's path is the right way, but they can put down their hands and show up.
There are some benefits, but in the long run there are some concerns about gains and losses.
So not only did Li Qiao make rumors before, but now there are also some other descendants of the Sichuan and Sichuan gentry. In normal times, there are also some words that intentionally or unintentionally belittle official workshops and shops, such as expressing their own
Private property is the best, and only high-end goods are privately customized.
Fa Zheng was previously responsible for regulating the customs of the Sichuan and Shu gentry after the Qiao clan. This is similar to what he did in history. After Liu Bei entered Sichuan in history, Fazheng dressed up as a blackface and began to
To rectify the Sichuan and Shu gentry, and then Zhuge came to reconcile, Liu Bei said aloofly, how could this happen, why didn't I know? Therefore, Fazheng naturally admired Xu Shu for proposing such a strategy of achieving multiple goals with one stone.
However, stabilizing the academy is not a big problem, but if we want to stabilize Bashan and Sichuan, it cannot be solved by a big competition...
Now Jiangdong uses Ba people as the entry point, just like the invasion and exploitation in Go. If it is not handled properly, it will be corrupted and opened. When it comes to deal with it later, it may not be a viable game, which will not only cause Sichuan and Sichuan to suffer on the ground.
If there is a loss, the momentum will also be weakened.
"There are still some capable people in Jiangdong..." After thinking for a moment, Xu Shu suddenly laughed and said, stroking his hands, "But there is a disadvantage in Jiangdong that cannot be avoided... After all, Jiangdong is a long way away..."
"Well," Xu Shu nodded, "What is imaginary is real, and what is real is imaginary. Jiangdong intends to disrupt Sichuan and Shu. What does it want? Is it really just to take Sichuan and Shu? It is a long way to go, although if Jiangdong takes it
Sichuan and Sichuan can indeed dominate the upper and lower rivers, but the river turns hundreds of times in the middle, so how can it be connected smoothly and have no hindrance? What's more, there are people like "Li Qiao" in Sichuan and Shu, so it is difficult for this Jiangdong
Is it that the top and bottom are of the same mind and are as stable as a mountain?"
After hearing Xu Shu's words, Fazheng's thoughts suddenly became clear, and he raised his hands and said, "What the envoy said is true! What Zheng just thought is limited to Sichuan and Shu. Due to the obstacles of the Sichuan and Shu gentry, there is no countermeasure. So I have to envoy you."
To remind you, I just thought of a plan...why not use it? 』
