Chapter 2942: There is no end to learning, hospitality is the best at that time
No one wants to be a salted fish until they realize helplessly that they are really just a salted fish.
Dreams are indeed the most precious thing for human beings, but they are also the easiest to be destroyed.
When you look into the eyes of innocent children, you will find the precious brilliance shining in them. But when they grow up, often in the face of the cruel reality, that light no longer exists in their eyes...
…
Xinpi could not remember his childhood dreams, he only thought about the current reality.
"Human," Xin Pi may have wanted to prevent his tent from completely smelling like salted fish. Perhaps it was because Xin Ping's role as a messenger really made him feel a little emotional. In the end, he sighed and said, "No matter what, whether it is war or not,
And, in the end, it will fall on this "person"... Unless you have no plans for the future and don't care about the next generation, there will be "people" at some point... These "people" are ordinary people and children of the noble clan.
They are also soldiers, officials, etc., all the population... Because there are "people", there can be a future... Hu people are also people, Han people are also people, people in Chang'an are people, and people in Shandong are also people...
This is the great love of my lord, so benevolent and virtuous..."
"Excuse me! Can you speak human language?!" Gan Feng said angrily, "Why do I get confused the more you explain?!"
"The sons of the gentry in Xuzhou and the local wealthy families are only willing to work in Xuzhou, and basically they are not willing to work under Prime Minister Cao..." Zhang He said, "Do you know why? Yes, there is a grudge. So if
Saying that the lord, relying on the strength of his army, massacred and plundered Shandong, would Shandong hate the lord and hate us? Don't say stupid things about killing them all. In order to collect military resources, Cao Cheng had to secretly massacre Xuzhou in recent years, and he almost did it.
A military chaos immediately broke out... I heard that if Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao hadn't arrived with his troops at that time, the military chaos would have collapsed directly... To this day, Prime Minister Cao dare not admit that he massacred innocent people in Xuzhou. He just said that he
It was to avenge his father, and he was so angry that he fainted... So think about it, if my lord only knew how to kill, then no one would come to Chang'an, and even... not even I would be able to surrender..."
If you just slaughtered a county, you might be able to use some excuse to cover up the past, and then gradually forget about it, but if you expand the area of the wound, even if it can really heal, it will take longer, and it will leave a deep scar after healing.
of scars.
Just like you can use various methods to prevent the lambs in a tribe from giving birth to lambs within a hundred days. This is not difficult. Even if it causes subsequent problems, it may not be big. But if you want to prevent the entire desert or the northern region from giving birth to lambs,
The sheep flocks of all tribes in a certain area are prohibited from producing lambs for a hundred days to see if these barbarian tribes will rebel immediately!
"A moment of anger, well, it's like someone being stupid for a moment, okay, but being stupid every day..." Xinpi said with a smile, and then his face changed drastically, "Speak carefully and don't touch your foot wrap!"
Gan Feng was just trying to scare him and didn't really want to do such a thing. After all, he himself knew that his biochemical weapon was very lethal. It could be said that he could kill a thousand enemies and injure himself eight hundred. Even he himself might not be able to withstand it.
He glanced at Xin Pi, but immediately sighed, "But... I only know how to fight..."
Gan Feng's tone was a little lonely, "I have been fighting since I was sensible... I... can only fight... fighting and killing people. This is my only ability and my only way..."
That's right, Gan Feng has only one way to solve the problem, because he has only learned one way since he was a child.
So when Gan Feng encounters a problem, he only knows how to kill.
This may be the most uneasy factor in Gan Feng's heart, and it is also the most terrifying fact that many generals are unwilling to face. If there is no battle to fight that day, then these generals will have lost all their life goals and values.
.
That's why Gan Feng was so happy when he heard that there might be a war.
Zhang He looked at Gan Feng and opened his mouth, as if he was going to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Ahem..." Xinpi stood up, straightened his clothes, and then gave a solemn salute to Ganfeng, "Some of my words were offensive before. It was someone's fault. I would like to apologize to the general!"
Gan Feng was startled and quickly stood up, reaching out to help Xin Pi up, "Oh, what are you doing?! You're going to kill me!"
Xinpi grabbed Gan Feng's hand and said seriously: "When I know I am wrong, I can apologize and correct it, but can't the general? Under the lord, everyone is learning and growing, so what about the general?"
Is there an exception? The general did not have a good opportunity to learn when he was young, and he only relied on his own bravery to fight. So now that he has the opportunity to learn strategy, why not learn it? My lord has delivered lecture notes from the martial arts hall here every quarter.
General, have you ever studied and pondered carefully? My lord has something to say, and there is no end to learning!"
Gan Feng was stunned and didn't say anything for a while. After a while, he looked at Xin Pi and then at Zhang He.
Zhang He nodded slowly, "At the end of last year, the thirty-three volumes of the Martial Arts Hall lectures mentioned the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of Guanzhong and Shandong, as well as related talent strategies... Didn't you read it?"
"..." Gan Feng swallowed, "Is it too late for me to see it now? I don't understand...you have to teach me!"
Xinpi nodded and coughed, "No problem...but put your boots on now!"
……ヽ(???)?(???)?……
Changshan Camp, now perhaps Changshan New City would be more appropriate.
The Han and Hu people who came from all over the country formed a very interesting ecosystem in Changshan New City.
The Han nationality itself is a syncretic nation. This has set the tone since the Yan and Huang Dynasties. At least the dragon totem proves this. As early as the Yan and Huang Dynasties, the theory of having many friends and few enemies has been proved.
How correct. But in the early days of China, the group of people who were unwilling to make friends, who only knew how to chop and kill while holding axes and shouting, were eventually driven to South Vietnam.
The Zhou Dynasty also used the feudal system of feudal princes with many friends, which lasted for eight hundred years. From a certain perspective, the Zhou Dynasty was also integrated, integrating princes from all over the world.
Later, the feudal vassal states from various places almost caused China to enter a complete feudal system. However, with the unremitting efforts of Qin Shihuang, his father, and his grandfather, the Qin State completed the unification, and China entered the prefecture-level state from then on.
The county system has brought the degree of Chinese integration to a higher level...
The subsequent feudal dynasty would stop here.
Although the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu, they fought with Wuhuan in the east, Zhangye in the west, and brought their friends to fight against the Xiongnu, but after the fight...
Therefore, unilateral exclusion is meaningless.
Hu and Han themselves are not completely antagonistic. In addition, after the effect of the Southern Xiongnu, accepting differentiation, enlightenment, and household registration has become a habit of many officials under the Qiusi rule. The mixing of Hu and Han is the most significant feature of Changshan New City.
one.
The issue of mixed living between Hu and Han people has also been discussed before. The biggest purpose of separating or demarcating an exclusive area is for safety, but in fact it is of no use. When the Hu people rebel, they will still
Rebels will not stay within the line just because they have drawn an exclusive zone. They will only want to expand the line outwards...
The establishment of ethnic regions in later generations was due to the internal and external international environment at that time and the new government's desire to quickly control the local area. It was a mutual compromise strategy that was the best solution to the complex situation at that time. It also proved that it did not follow the big bear's ass and follow the federal system.
The reason why a great man is called a great man is that the favor lasts for hundreds of years. But this does not mean that the exclusive national zone is an eternal policy.
When the Han Dynasty was strong, the Han people believed that all the land in the world belonged to the Han Dynasty. So what's the point of dedicating a piece of land to others?
After Xin Ping arrived in Changshan New City, what he saw was the incomparable harmony between the Hu and Han people, which surprised him. Although the Hu people basically wore Han robes, their colorful eyes and curly hair
The hair and half-grown hair on the head looks like it has been eaten by a dog, which is enough to prove that these people are Hu people, not Han people.
You can't see such a situation on Cao Cao's side.
In Shandong, the Hu people are mercenaries, so most of the Hu people have been separated from the Han people. Even if there are a small number of Hu people on the side of the Han people, they are mostly bullied and suppressed by the Han people, or even deliberately make things difficult for them.
Xin Ping had previously thought that the Han people and the Hu people lived in separate areas, and that it was normal for the Han people to insult the Hu people. But now that he saw the situation in Changshan New City, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He even heard a few Hu people talking fluently with the Han people in Mandarin...
"How can such barbarians understand the words of the scriptures?"
Isn’t it a violation of the rules?」
"Only when Yan and Huang do not reject hundreds of tribes can dragons soar across the world..." Changshan's clerk said with a slightly incomprehensible look, "What's more, the rules of the Han people are the rules of the world. As long as you abide by the rules of the Han Dynasty, you can speak Chinese.
If you eat Han food and wear Han clothes, you can live among the Han people. What's more, if the Hu people want to live here, they still need to pass the examination..."
"Test...evaluation?" Xin Ping's eyes widened.
Is this also an assessment?
The clerk nodded and said, "That's it. If you know Chinese customs, speak Chinese well, obtain Han merit, and pass all three tests, then you can be awarded the Han crown and live in the Han land for a long time."
After all, the current big man is still confident.
Xin Ping's face suddenly brightened up, and he smacked his lips, but didn't know what to say.
These things may not sound difficult, but can Cao Cao do it?
It's not that Cao Cao couldn't do it, but that someone didn't allow Cao Cao to do it. Xin Ping could even imagine that if Cao Cao really proposed such a plan, there would be a series of "no"s under the Dan level.
And the voices of "absolutely not allowed", those who clamored the loudest must be the gentry children of Yuzhou and Jizhou...
It may even include Xin Ping himself.
It's simple, because there are enough people.
Having more people is good for Cao Cao. After all, the total number of people paying taxes is more. Cao Cao does not need to consider whether it is Han people or naturalized people who pay taxes. Anyway, as long as it increases, it is good. On the other hand, for
For the children of the Shandong gentry, it was different, because the children of the Shandong gentry were more accustomed to the manor economy and small-scale farmer production, and there was an upper limit to the number of people a manor could accommodate.
As long as the population in the manor is not lower than the minimum limit, the manor owner will make a profit. However, after the upper limit is exceeded, the manor owner will lose money because everyone needs to eat. It is different from ancient times. Now the big man
The land development in Jizhou and Yuzhou has reached a certain level. This means that once the population in these manors in Jizhou and Yuzhou increases too much, the local gentry must obtain resources from them if they want to maintain such a population.
Only if you use part of your profits.
Is this possible?
When Jizhou and Yuzhou encountered disaster years, most of these nobles chose to stand by and watch. They would not relieve the population and let the ordinary people wander around and die wailing in the wilderness, so that the people in the manor could
The tenant farmers were grateful for their poor life. After all, so many people died outside the manor, and although they were enslaved, at least they were still alive.
In the eyes of the nobles, ordinary people were not human beings. They could only be regarded as leeks in the ground. Cutting them regularly would also be beneficial to the renewal of leeks.
Therefore, for the Shandong nobles, would they be willing to suddenly have some green onions in their fields?
That’s so difficult to manage!
Only over Feiqian, in the sparsely populated Yinshan Mountains and desert wilderness of the North, will a large number of manpower be needed, and there will be an almost endless demand to absorb the population...
Xin Ping raised his eyes and looked into the distance. At the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside in the distance, he could vaguely see some cattle and sheep. The flat land at the foot of the mountain was crisscrossed by roads. The Han people farming at the foot of the mountain and the Hu people grazing on the mountain had no influence on each other.
They seem to be far apart, yet they seem to be very close.
Is this due to Chang'an's courage, or is it the magnanimity of Chang Shan, the protector?
If it is the former, Xin Ping feels that there is nothing more to say. There must be a war in Shanxi and Shandong, a war that cannot be compromised or reconciled.
If it is the latter, then Xin Ping feels that Shandong should still have a chance...
Even if it was such an opportunity, Xin Ping didn't think it was right.
On the third day, Xin Ping met Zhao Yun who had returned.
After the pleasantries, Xin Ping naturally entered into the "discussion" session with Zhao Yun...
"Compared with the land under the general's jurisdiction in the northern region, which one is larger than the western region?"
Xin Ping asked.
Zhao Yun squinted his eyes, "The Western Region is big."
"How long has the General's existence in the Northern Territory been compared to that of the Western Territory?"
Xin Ping asked again.
Zhao Yun still squinted his eyes, "The Western Region has been here for a long time."
"General, how large is the population of the Northern Territory compared to the Western Territory?"
Xin commented on three questions.
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "Sir, if you have something to say, just say it."
Xin Ping then said: "The Northern Region is not as big as the Western Region, nor is it as long as the Western Region, nor is it as populous as the Western Region. Even so, the Western Region has already found it difficult to protect itself, and Mr. Lu Feng's death is unpredictable. If the general is content with the status quo, he cannot adapt."
If the weather is strong, then the Northern Territory will inevitably follow in the footsteps of the Western Territory. If Lu Fengxian of the Western Territory dies, how long can the general survive alone?"
Zhao Yun laughed heartily and was noncommittal.
"The Hussar wanted Lu Fengxian to die, which is a sign." Xin Ping did not get confused because of Zhao Yun's laughter, but continued, "I know that my brother is here, but I have never accepted it in private, nor have I explored the general's defense."
, you can see your sincerity. This time, Prime Minister Cao originally wanted to let Liu Ziyang be the envoy, but I sincerely requested you to come here. I am not asking for a general, but I am asking the general to make plans early to avoid causing harm to the troops..."
Xin Ping's meaning is that it's okay if Zhao Yun goes all the way to death, but don't take his brother to death with him. He also hinted that he said this actually just for his brother...
Zhao Yun glanced at Xin Ping and said nothing.
"General, the Northern Territory was invaded by the barbarians in the Northern Territory, just like what happened in the Western Territory. However, now that the Western Territory has been peaceful for a long time, disasters have occurred," Xin Ping said slowly, "I dare to ask General, before the chaos in the Western Territory
, does Chang'an already know about it? If Chang'an didn't know the reason, how could the soldiers and horses arrive in a moment and reach thousands of miles in the blink of an eye? If Chang'an knew the reason, why didn't he show any sympathy for Lu Fengxian's contribution and just sit back and watch the chaos happen?"
Zhao Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "You know this matter better than I do."
Xin Ping cupped his hands and said: "This is a helpless move. After all, there are many hussar sentry rooms in Shandong, and I am afraid there are many in Yuyang City. However, general, there is no need to worry. Prime Minister Cao has no grudge against the general.
In Yuyang, he scolded the Marquis of Xia and marched thirty military sticks to punish him for offending the general Huwei. Now that Prime Minister Cao is stationing troops in Yuyang, he has not done anything disrespectful, which is enough to prove the respect that Cao Cheng has for the general.
』
"Prime Minister Cao ordered me to come here, not to speak to the general, but to inform the general that Prime Minister Cao wants to march into Wuhuan and quell the troubles in Liaodong. He has no intention of competing with the general for superiority." Xin Ping was very sincere.
He said, "Prime Minister Cao is afraid that the general will be suspicious, so he sent me to explain something."
"Prime Minister Cao wants to take Liaodong?" Zhao Yun asked.
Xin Ping nodded and said: "Exactly. Wuhuan in Liaodong has many disobedient acts. The bandits march to the border and harm our Han people. Prime Minister Cao does not want the Han people to mourn and be unable to save them, so he raises troops to suppress them... But I know
The general may have misunderstood, so he temporarily stationed himself in Yuyang..."
Zhao Yun laughed and said, "In that case, I am wrong! If I don't withdraw my troops for thirty miles and show humility, I will be charged with the crime of not saving the people on the border of the Han Dynasty."
On someone’s head!』
"The general is joking. Prime Minister Cao has also given instructions before. If the general doesn't believe it, then Prime Minister Cao will just lead the troops to retreat." Seeing Zhao Yun's ridicule, Xin Ping did not panic. "As for the so-called crime of not saving people in the face of death, it is even more serious.
The general does not need to worry about these nonsense. These are the sufferings of the Han people in eastern Liaoning and have nothing to do with the general's northern region."
"It has nothing to do with it!" Zhao Yun said with a smile, "Although I am not a lobbyist, my words are more powerful than a lobbyist!"
Xin Ping smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really not a lobbyist. If the general doesn't believe me, I'll just leave immediately."
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "Prime Minister Cao wants to march into Liaodong to attack Wuhuan. Just go straight there. Why bother to discuss with someone? Although everyone has their own positions, Zhao is not someone who takes advantage of the situation. However, this matter is very serious, and someone still needs to report it to the lord.
Only then can I answer you.』
Xin Ping fell to the ground and said, "The general is unparalleled in kindness. On behalf of the tens of thousands of Han people in Liaodong, I would like to thank the general!"
Zhao Yun signaled Xin Ping to stand up, laughing loudly.
Xin Ping also laughed.
It's just that under the smiles of the two of them, there is more or less hidden brilliance dancing in their eyes...
