『Five achievements?』
Fei Zhen frowned, how many? He could only think of three aspects at most.
Pang Tong laughed and signaled Fei Zhen to talk first.
Fei Zhen pulled his finger and said, "First, if Prime Minister Cao could get it in Guanzhong, there was no need to say anything. This is the first one. Second, if it was not available in Guanzhong, Prime Minister Cao could also use this to unite in Shandong, except for the alienated people, gather friends with the same stream, and gather a batch of property and land... Third, what we just thought of... Prime Minister Cao might have had a long time ago to break off from Guanzhong, but the people in Shandong refused, so this time I just took the opportunity... Well, from then on, they all rely on their strength, just like the battle between Qin and Zhao in the Warring States Period..."
Pang Tongfu praised him.
Zao Zhi also raised a thumbs up at Fei Zhen.
As the first counselor to follow Fei Qian, both Pang Tong and Zao Zhi hope that Fei Qian's heirs were capable, rather than being a high-ranking yamen who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
Fei Zhen laughed and then asked curiously what Pang Tong said about the five things...
Pang Tong smiled and didn't want to say it at first, but Fei Zhen repeatedly asked each other and finally said: "Actually, it's only five words, "Soldiers, Civilians, Government, Oppositions and Alliances."
"Soldiers, civilians, governments, and oppositions?" Fei Zhen repeated, and then thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the three points he had just said seemed to be just one word in the "soldiers" mentioned by Pang Tong. His originally proud smile became a little embarrassed.
Zao Zhi tried to comfort him, "When I was so old, I only knew some flowers and plants, and I didn't want to study at all..."
Obviously, Zao Zhi doesn't know how to comfort people.
Fei Zhen nodded, and then refused to give up and thought, "This "people"... Oh, I understand! When the war begins, Shandong will inevitably need to recruit civil servants, transport food and grass, and transport military supplies. Prime Minister Cao will eventually swallow these civil servants recruited from Shandong. On the one hand, they can strengthen themselves, and invade the powerful and powerful gentry in Shandong!"
Pang Tong's eyes lit up slightly, "Not bad."
Fei Zhen said three points just now, and Pang Tong praised her very exaggeratedly, but now it was a light sentence, but it made Fei Zhen even more inspired and excited.
Fei Zhen pulled his finger and said, ""Chao", Prime Minister Cao was originally in the court, and he was not able to cover the sky with one hand! In addition to military gains, he could also determine his enemies and friends in the court! Regardless of victory or defeat, Prime Minister Cao could take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents! Even if he was defeated, it could be said that these dissidents were pulling their legs and avoiding future troubles!"
Not only Pang Tong, but also Zao Zhi on the side, were nodding.
Fei Zhen's thinking was smoother and his mind was clearer. "Wild" was the local gentry in Shandong that Uncle Shi Yuan mentioned before. They only wanted to be safe and wandered in the wild! These people... By the way, Uncle Shi Yuan said just now that there were rumors about Cao's family, saying that what is Guanzhong and what is my father, so these local gentry in the wild are not caring about Guanzhong! Now, no matter whether they win or lose, it is enough to reverse these rumors! Concentrate the power of the wild in Shandong! And this "alliance" is Jiangdong!
Although there were still some differences, Pang Tong applauded again, and Zao Zhi also gave a thumbs up again.
Although it is similar to the previous praise, this time Fei Zhen truly felt the joy that surged in her heart, but also deeply felt the gap with Pang Tong and others. Therefore, she was quite humble in her attitude and thanked her for her gifts, and asked Pang Tong for the key points.
『If you can win the battle, it is naturally the best.』 Pang Tong said, 『However, many wars are either in a hurry or in a forced manner, so you have to consider how it would be if you lose. People from ancient and modern times can benefit from victory, but not many people can benefit from defeat... However, this Cao Mengde, who has fought against Dong Qijun for several victory and defeat, is the best among them. He is the best at fighting and profits in chaos, and must be guarded against...』
Zao Zhi added on the side: "Now the message from the Northern Region is that the temperature is declining year by year, and the time of ice is getting earlier, which is consistent with what the lord said... I am afraid it will not be far away from the day of the huge change in the climate... By then, the spring is severe cold, the summer is drought, the autumn is nowhere to be found, and the winter is frozen... Although the land of Shandong is located in the Central Plains, Prime Minister Cao has probably noticed it..."
Pang Tong fell silent and looked quite serious.
Fei Qian has always been considering the subsequent problems of facing the Little Ice Age.
In history, Cao Cao changed from offensive to defensive after the Battle of Chibi. Of course, more importantly, the Qingzhou soldiers in his hands were basically wiped out. On the other hand, the climate in the north may have changed, and the continuous wars over the years have not recovered in time, which has led to the North having to enter the defensive mode under many factors.
Of course, this may be just part of the reason...
After the economy has developed to a certain extent, it is increasingly impossible to separate from the overall society and develop alone. Just like Guanzhong without these gentry and powerful people from Shandong, these family wealth accumulation over decades or even hundreds of years, various luxury goods launched by Chang'an, as well as expensive goods from the Western Regions, would be difficult to find a suitable market.
In Shandong, there are many gentry, each with their own hearts. Similarly, Fei Qian cannot be considered very united. There will always be only a small part of the people who are truly united, and most of the others are followers, even blind followers, or those who are swept by them and have to follow them.
If Guanzhong was truly united, there would be no Lu Bu making trouble in the Western Regions.
Pang Tong ordered some Qiang-boiled copper pot and said, "Shandong is like this Qiang-boiled. Everyone sits around and eats their own food... If they are calm, they will eat happily, but some people think they eat very little and others eat more, so they will be troubled... What will happen?"
Fei Zhen asked in confusion, "Isn't there anyone who has the control?"
Zao Zhi shook his head and said, "Prime Minister Cao is named Prime Minister, but...haha... not everyone is convinced..."
The biggest problem in Shandong is party struggles.
It is obvious that it is a confrontation between the East and the East, but when it has entered a critical moment, it is inevitable to fall into endless party struggles. This party struggle is actually slightly different from the parties in later generations.
The parties in later generations normally had a clear discipline and program, while the parties in feudal dynasties were more like a group of people who gathered together to keep warm because of the same political views and similar interests.
Just like the dispute between the Yuzhou faction and the Jizhou faction under Cao Cao's rule. They both were not convinced and wanted to suppress each other. They knew that sometimes it would damage the overall situation, but as long as it was beneficial to their own side, what would be the problem of hurting the overall situation?
The party struggles in the early Han Dynasty were actually progressive, because these gentry children criticized some of the corruption among the Han Dynasty and the dissatisfaction of officials and eunuchs. This was also a relatively simple concept of many scholars, including Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who believed that as long as the ten regular attendants were eliminated, the world would be peaceful.
But the disaster in the world is really just the eunuch party?
The entire Han Dynasty's political system has become corrupt, or it can no longer keep up with the needs of the development of the times. This problem is related to some of the individuals, but it is not entirely in someone. The Shandong people's Sour Jujube Alliance proves this very well. Whether it solves the Ten Eunuchs or Dong Zhuo, it only temporarily deals with the superficial problems, and the deeper problems have actually always been in themselves, in the entire political system, and in their thoughts.
"The lord left the court, restored the north, pacified Guanzhong, connected Sichuan and Shu, and connected the Western Regions," Pang Tong looked up slightly, with bright eyes, "It is to take a completely different path from the previous Han Dynasty... And this road, the people from Shandong are still hesitating! They didn't want to follow!"
"If you have food comfort, you can be a wise and brave person, and you can be prepared for danger." Zao Zhi sighed, "Those who are from Shandong have food comfortably before..."
Pang Tong nodded and said, "In the past, under Lushan Mountain, the lord took the book and placed it on the table, saying what aristocratic family is, what a commoner... The book is outdated and the commoner is empty... Are you and I want to be outdated or..."
"The aristocratic family is outdated, and the common people are empty?" Fei Zhen said, frowning and thinking.
Zao Zhi said from the side: "So the lord built Qinglong Temple, on the one hand, it was to clean up the old books and explain them seriously, and on the other hand, it was to allow the common people to have the way to read..."
Fei Zhen seemed to understand something and nodded.
The ten eunuchs are corrupt and powerful, but they actually rely on the imperial power to do things. Once the imperial power declines, the eunuchs are like a fart, and even the taste is disgusting. People in Shandong are more complicated and worried about the great Han Dynasty, but they are more selfish. Although they have mastered knowledge, they are already corrupt.
"From then on, we understood something... the response of heaven and man should be abolished." Pang Tong said in a deep voice, "If this law is not abolished, the three dukes will not be interested in the government affairs, and all officials will be like scattered sand! Cao Mengde did not take the three dukes and took over the prime minister, which was also to avoid this disaster."
The response of heaven and man was originally created by Emperor Wu of Han to strengthen the imperial power, but later it became a joke of taking the blame. Sanhuai Gaotang became a taker in turn, opening up the era of black blame. Originally, the Three Dukes should have been the assistant to the imperial power, the leader of all officials, and an important channel for communication between the upper and lower levels, and eventually became illusion.
It is a glorious to be a third official, but today he is still a high-ranking official and may be dismissed tomorrow. In such a working environment, naturally no one is doing things in a solid manner and is just a waste of time.
As a result, the Han court fell into division and extremely inefficient operation from top to bottom. Although the Han Dynasty's final decline could not be counted as the Shandong geniuses, the so-called clear-flowing officials who had mastered the most knowledge and should guide the direction of progress and maintain the operation of the country were indeed the examples of the local governments when the Han Dynasty was in decline. Not only was it impossible to turn the tide, but it also dragged the Han Dynasty to fall into the abyss together.
At the same time, in order to prevent oneself, or the descendants of one's own family from taking the blame inexplicably, the Han gentry families started an era of using prophecies to deal with prophecies and fighting poison with poison. Then, demons danced around, and tried to seize the right to explain, and eventually became a free-minded evidence and casual annotation. It should have become the words of ancient sages that spread knowledge and shape the three views, and became a tool for selfishness to fight for power and profit...
"This is all my father... asked under Lushan Mountain?" Fei Zhen's eyes widened, feeling a little incredible, "Then... so early?"
"Although the lord didn't say it clearly at that time, but..." Pang Tong turned his head and looked at Zao Zhi, smiled and said, "In fact, it's not just me, Zijing, but also Yuan Zhi and others, all know this..."
After eating and drinking, the three of them left the pavilion and returned to the hall.
Just like when parents are with their children every day, it is not easy to notice their children's growth. When children follow their parents every day, it is not easy to notice how powerful their parents are.
The three of them stood under the map inside the hall.
"Since I know what Cao Mengde wants," Pang Tong pointed out Tu Yu and said, "The prince can try to defeat him. Well, there is no need to dispatch troops and generals in detail, just like a lord, fighting with the overall situation changes... Can the prince want to give it a try?"
Fei Zhen was eager to try and stood in front of the Tuyu and pondered.
Of course, Fei Zhen cannot be commanded by the specific arrangement of the war.
Zao Zhi cast inquiring eyes at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong nodded slightly.
As Fei Qian's first counselor, he followed Fei Qian's footsteps, and grew up all the way. Although Fei Qian did not explain clearly, he could understand why Fei Qian named Fei Zhen "Zhen".
There are lush plants and trees, or thorns.
It starts among plants and trees and passes through the path of thorns.
Only after the Western Qin Dynasty had three generations could the world be unified, but what about now?
As a person who connects the past and the future, Fei Zhen has an important responsibility beyond ordinary people, so she naturally needs to grow and grow faster so that this thorny way can continue with someone else.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fei Qian asked Pang Tong to teach Fei Zhen temporarily, hoping to force Fei Zhen to learn to think and judge alone when her parents are not around, and to understand what kind of judgment will lead to what kind of consequences will lead to, and how to deal with subsequent problems. These problems are something that Fei Zhen cannot learn when she is around Fei Qian. Because Fei Zhen will subconsciously look at Fei Qian, rely on her parents, and want to find answers to the problem from Fei Qian.
Growth starts with independent thinking and independent solution to problems.
"If you don't care about military affairs, just look for changes in the overall situation..." Fei Zhen also stood in front of Tuyu and said in a pondering manner, "Once the war begins, in addition to the casualties of soldiers, the civilians also need to transfer food and grass... Once the civilians travel a long distance, they will transport food and grass, first, they will waste farmland, and second, the road consumption... Changping, the grain that is accurate in purging the granaries will be used for the war needs... By the way, if it is insufficient, they will be recruited!"
Fei Zhen subconsciously looked back at Pang Tong, but saw Pang Tong’s chin with two or three layers, and the wind did not move, covering his expression tightly.
『Well...』 Fei Zhen could only turn back and think, 『Recruitment is inevitable... According to what Shi Shu said before, if Shandong is recruited, local clans will take the opportunity to make money, the blame will be on Cao Mengde, and the profit will be on themselves. As for the people... I am afraid that the Yellow Turban incident will reappear... I understand! At that time, Shandong Jiangdong is in ruins, and only light cavalry can be used to go straight, and it will be the world's flag!"
『Well said it!』 Pang Tong nodded and said, 『That's it! The method of fighting is not just about strength! The suffering of the Western Qiang is the pain of Shandong! If you touch it, you will be shocked!』
The Western Qiang Rebellion was a pain for the entire Han Dynasty, but so many years have passed, who can think of how the Western Qiang Rebellion occurred, how it developed, and how it should be dealt with?
No, the Shandong gentry only sighed at most.
There is no summary, no prevention, no improvement, nothing, it just leaves a deep scar that heals on the surface, but in fact it is not healed at all. Now, as long as you touch it again, it will burst and bleeding immediately.
Officials do not produce specific products.
Therefore, all the expenses of the entire society are paid by ordinary people.
The heavier the tax burden, the less common people can survive.
What should I do if I can’t survive? In the end, I will only resist.
The more people rebel, the more money the court needs to suppress...
If you grit your teeth and suppress the rebellion in other areas, then the taxes and rebellions in other places will be even heavier, and other places may also rebel.
If there is no suppression, not only will the taxes in these areas not be collected, but other areas will also make the same excuses for rebellion and cannot pay taxes.
Anyway, there is no money in the local area and if you want to suppress it, the court needs to pay it. If you give it money, you may not be able to suppress it successfully. Maybe you can press one end and raise the other end. So, you are completely trapped in the quagmire of a vicious cycle and can never escape.
Pang Tong nodded and said, "The lord originally wanted to provoke this matter in Jiangdong first, and then spread to Shandong... At that time, the poor are more poor than the poor, and the rich are richer, and they will be like dry firewood placed on the side of the stove fire. In a moment, there will be a surging flame... But Shandong Jiangdong seems to have noticed it, and it will take advantage of the chaos in the Western Regions to start a matter..."
It's a pity...
So Fei Qian said before that the war is a bit early and is not the best time.
Pang Tong also highly recognizes this.
In this era, ordinary people are basically illiterate and do not understand what the future is or what the right path is. As long as someone gives some benefits today, they will call their father, and if someone gives some money tomorrow, they will immediately turn around and call their grandfather and throw away their father yesterday. Therefore, it is basically impossible to rely on these people in Jiangdong, Shandong, without any foundation or prerequisites to participate in social change and civilization promotion.
These people in Shandong and Jiangdong are more accustomed to the lives of their ancestors. They usually only need to have some food and a little fun to continue to live. The development of the dynasty and the changes in social structure are too far away for them.
Why is Fei Qian able to have stable people's hearts in Chang'an? Except for the bachelor of agriculture, engineering, and bachelor of engineering who are working hard to enlighten the people, most of the other merits are counted on "wealth".
First of all, Fei Qian resettled a large number of refugees and gave them farmland and residence. Although it took ten or twenty years, or even longer to repay the rent, it was invisibly equivalent to tying these civilians to the Fei Qian political group. Even the stupidest civilians knew that once Fei Qian fell down, their fields and houses would be deprived and robbed by others. Therefore, supporting Fei Qian is equivalent to supporting themselves.
Once Fei Qian wants to "wind the hearts of the people" in Shandong, because Shandong's population base is huge, it will inevitably lead to a surge in expenses. In this process, regardless of whether there are Shandong officials and local gentry in the process, even if Fei Qian uses his own people and inspects the bachelor of agricultural and industrialism to handle it, he will still not be able to afford huge expenses.
On the other hand, Guanzhong now has psychological advantages over people in Shandong, Jiangdong. After all, Guanzhong has the best treatment in the world. Once Fei Qian really defeats Cao Cao and Sun Quan quickly, after a bowl of water, everyone will be the same, and some people will inevitably be dissatisfied.
If a bowl of water is not even enough, it will be even more exciting.
Therefore, it is better to let Cao Cao and Sun Quan go and light a fire first...
But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan either noticed this or happened to meet each other, which turned into the current situation.
However, since this is already the case, we can only take advantage of the situation.
Pang Tong smiled, "Do you know, there are rumors that Zhao Zilong, the Northern Region, is in Chang'an City, who is ill-intentioned? "
