Chapter 3068 The poor man offering jade had his right foot chopped off and his left foot chopped off
Since Fei Qian raised the status of commerce, the status of businessmen has also been raised accordingly.
This kind of improvement has its advantages, but of course it also has its disadvantages.
Especially the vast wasteland areas where nomadic people dominate, including the Hexi Corridor, Hetao Shangjun and other areas. In the past, this area was vast and sparsely populated. The nomadic Qiang and Di people here, as well as the Southern Xiongnu or Xianbei people who migrated inland,
No matter who you are, or what other tribe or nation you come from, as long as you are thirsty or hungry, you will receive warm hospitality no matter which tent you walk into. The host will definitely serve you something that may not be the most delicious, but will definitely be the most sincere.
Food is dedicated to guests from far away, and the only thing the guests have to pay is the interesting experiences from far away.
I have kumiss, do you have a story?
After Fei Qian advocated commercialization, everything changed. Commercial transactions prospered in this area, and many herdsmen now know that things can be exchanged for money, and money can buy things. Although the herdsmen still welcome
Guests, but you should also see if the guests can have corresponding things or utensils to give back.
Those who only have "stories" are no longer popular...
After the shepherd discovered that the furs that he usually thought had little value were originally scraps of food, and the abandoned items could now be exchanged with the Han people, he naturally felt as if he had exchanged waste for treasure, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
After getting money, the shepherds immediately purchased a large amount of supplies to improve their living standards.
Shepherds like softer clothes, more brilliant colors, mellower drinks, even those spices and expensive teas from the Western Regions. They buy them almost without thinking, just like after Double Eleven without a pair.
Twelve same.
Changes in concepts often moisturize things silently.
In the process of change, some people will inevitably misunderstand some things. Just like some shepherds, there must be some people who think that coins are valuable, because coins can buy a lot of things, but they don’t understand that coins can’t buy anything.
At that time, the coins were worthless.
The same goes for businessmen.
Some dim-witted businessmen will think that they are very important, so important that if they do not trade, the people and herdsmen in the area will not be able to survive...
Is this really the case?
The dragon follows the clouds, the tiger follows the wind.
The family obeys the husband and the country obeys the king.
When a dragon rises, auspicious clouds will follow it. If there are gusts of evil wind and black clouds fill the sky, it is probably an evildoer rather than a righteous god. In a family, if the head of the family is upright and kind, then the family tradition will naturally be righteous.
In a country, if all the officials and governors think about every day is cheating, promotion of positions, making money, coveting beauty, playing mahjong and drinking wine in pursuit of personal desires, then what else can you think about the country?
Will the atmosphere in the movie be upright and awe-inspiring? I guess the only thing left is the chivalrous car-picking!
When Huang Cheng arrived at the official residence in Pingyang, he saw that Xun Chen was still handling official duties unhurriedly, so he frowned and said, "Chang Shi is so leisurely!"
Xun Chen gestured towards Huang Cheng slightly and nodded, "General Huang is here? Please sit down."
Huang Cheng said in a muffled voice: "Chang Shi, Cao's army invaded Taihang and occupied She County at the top and Changping at the bottom. Now all the upper parties in Taiyuan are in danger, and Cao's army sneak attacked Fenglingdu. We are about to attack all three armies."
Advance, troops to the city! How many people are in panic in the city, but the long history still has the heart to review the writings here? Are these writings more important than the war at hand?"
"Military affairs are important, but civil affairs are also important..." Xun Chen was criticized by Huang Cheng, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and reached out and patted the pile of writings on the table, "These are for the cleaning... These are the winter days."
Those who reserve coal... these..."
Huang Cheng's brows stood up more and more.
Xun Chen changed his subject, "But since General Huang is worried about the military, let's talk about the military... The current strategy is quite simple... just wait..."
"Wait? Cao's army of thieves is ravaging our territory, and you actually said you have to wait?" Huang Cheng almost got angry. If it hadn't been confirmed that Xun Chen had been loyal to Fei Qian for so many years, there would have been no communication with Xun Chen.
Huang Cheng almost suspected that Xun Chen had secretly taken refuge with Cao Cao.
"Exactly." Xun Chen nodded, "Whether it's Shexian or Changping, what if Cao Jun can even cross Fenglingdu? Cao Jun can temporarily establish a foothold in these places, but can he carry them away? The people in the warehouses.
Food and grass have been transferred to Pingyang a long time ago, and the registered population has also been gathered back. If Cao Jun stays for one more day, he will have to spend one more day of money and food. If you like to stay, just let them do it. Anyway, it is not us who spend money and food."
"It's just Changping in Shexian County, but what about Hedong, Taiyuan?" Huang Cheng's face was slightly relieved, but he was still a little confused, "There are always people in Taiyuan County, Hedong, who want to eat food."
Come on! What if Cao Jun captures it?"
Xun Chen smiled and said, "General Huang, even if Cao Jun doesn't take food and food from the people in these places, can we take it?"
"Huh?" Huang Cheng was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Xun Chen nodded, "That's what I mean."
Huang Cheng was silent for a moment, "Chang Shi, this is no joke..."
"How can I be a joke about a major military matter?"
If you are weak, the way of civil and military affairs should be a blend of water and fire, complementing each other. Then your foundation will be solid and you will rise to the top. The lord is not lacking in martial arts. What he lacked before was literary strategy. Therefore, the lord built a school palace and built Qinglong Temple.
A grand ceremony was held to demonstrate literary achievements.』
"Hmm..." Huang Cheng nodded, "But how does this relate to the current Hedong?"
Xun Chen said: "Among literary arts, not only classics and poetry are the only ones... there are also people who hope..."
"Human hope?" Huang Cheng repeated, seeming to understand something, but feeling completely confused.
Xun Chen looked at Huang Chen and seemed to be considering whether to explain to Huang Cheng.
"Please enlighten me..." Huang Cheng sat upright and bowed his hands in courtesy.
Xun Chen pondered for a moment, ordered all the surrounding attendants to retreat, and then said in a low voice: "General Huang, when my lord rose up in the north... Although he had the merit of restoring the Yin Mountains, he was also suspected of taking advantage of others.
Lost to Fang Zhengping... Let's put it this way, the current situation is actually an old debt owed by the lord..."
"Ah?" Huang Cheng scratched his head, "What do you mean? Why do I get more confused the more I listen to it?"
Xun Chen whispered: "My lord came to the north empty-handed, with less than a thousand soldiers and less than ten generals. Where did all the money, grain, land and land... come from? Don't forget that at that time my lord was the governor of Shang County, not the governor of Hedong County..."
"Oh..." Huang Cheng understood somewhat, but he couldn't help but feel a little angry, "When did this happen? What's more, there was nothing in Shangjun at that time!"
Xun Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Haha... Of course this is an old story, but... if the place changes, and if General Huang changes his footing there, he would be willing to put these "old things" to Yu.
The wind blew it away without leaving any trace?』
"This..." Huang Cheng pondered for a long time and shook his head, "No."
"That's it..." Xun Chen looked at Huang Cheng, "Does General Huang understand?"
Huang Cheng sighed, "I understand. It's just...it's a pity that it's so hard to find peace..."
Xun Chen smiled and said, "If it cannot be refined a hundred times, why is it steel?"
…
…
Anyi, Hedong.
Pei Mao said to Pei Jun in a low voice: "I thought that Qiusi was now fighting against the prime minister on the surface, but actually wanted to deal with us..."
"Why?" Pei Jun was shocked, "The Pei family is staying safe. This... and Cao Jun has crossed Fengling and may reach Anyi at any time. What else can this hussar do?! Isn't he afraid... uh..."
Feimao nodded, "Yeah, I'm not afraid."
"This...this, this, this..." Pei Jun didn't know whether he should be angry or trembling, or simply do both, "It is clear that there is a gap between the hussar and the prime minister, but he attacks kind people like us. What on earth is this?"
What’s the truth?! Is there any more divine reason?!」
Pei Mao squinted his eyes and stroked his beard, "Tianli? What does Tianli look like? Have you ever seen it? I don't remember that when I taught you the scriptures, I also said that everything must be based on Tianli! If you talk about Tianli, then you want to
When you are worried about the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside! This is the law of heaven!"
"This..." Pei Jun was speechless.
"In the past, the Hussar was promoted in the wilderness. In order to get some money and food, he did not hesitate to use deception and deception. Although he succeeded, it also ruined the reputation of the Hussar among the scholars..." Pei Mao said slowly, "
Morals, benevolence, and righteousness cannot be accomplished without being unruly; teaching is correct and customary, but unprepared for unbecoming etiquette. In the past, hussars deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors, took advantage of others cleverly, and flattered and offered favors. Even if they did extraordinary things in extraordinary times, could they be called gentlemen? Those who did things like cocks, dogs, and robbers were certainly thieves.
Also. In this way, can thieves establish a country? If they do, what will happen to the country?"
"This..." Pei Jun didn't know what to say.
"You can say this, that..." Pei Mao frowned, "How can I trust you? If you don't have a gentleman, you can't control the savages, and if you don't have the savages, you can't raise the gentlemen! A gentleman should be above everything else, and those who are monopolizing everything are the actions of a villain.
.If the Hussar wants to achieve great things now, he must pass this level! A person who puts profit first cannot be a gentleman. And if he cannot be a gentleman, how can he stand in the country?"
"Over the years..." Fei Mao said with some emotion, "I guess there are many people who are dissatisfied with me... Sigh... they think that I have blocked their way to make money, restricted their hands and feet, and they are salivating when they see others making windfalls.
...But they don’t know that windfall is the root of disaster!』
There had been some turmoil within the Pei family before.
Pei Mao almost killed Pei Di with his own hands and purged the Pei family. This could be regarded as leaving a life.
"Wealth can rival the country..." Pei Mao sneered, "Does the law of the family and country deserve to be treated as an "enemy country"? The four words "little wealth means peace" are the only way to last!"
Even if the emperor is fatuous and incompetent, will the ministers also be fatuous?
A local nobleman and a wealthy businessman in the region always want the "enemy country". Is this asking for his own death, or is he blinded by money?
"Now that a hero is in power, Pei must be cautious!" Pei Mao said in a deep voice, "Poems and books can be passed down from family to family for eternity, but greed and arrogance will break down the family immediately!"
"Master, maybe... maybe it's not like this, right?" Pei Jun said, "Hussar... Hussar is in the Western Region now..."
"Humph! You have misunderstood!" Pei Mao said with a sullen face, "It is precisely because the hussars are in the Western Region that they are more dangerous!"
Cold sweat broke out on Pei Jun's forehead, and he suddenly understood what Pei Mao meant.
If the Hussar were in Guanzhong, they would not be too harsh when dealing with the nobles. After all, they still have to show their "benevolence", but now it is not the Hussar who is in Hedong, but the Minister of Dali Temple!
What is Dali Temple used for?
Do you really think that Sima Yi is just a nerd who doesn't understand anything?
If Sima Yi made a heavy move and missed the wrong kill, would Fei Qian make Sima Yi pay for his life because Sima Yi killed too many people after he came back?
At most, he just scolded him a few times and then asked Sima Yi to think about his mistakes behind closed doors!
"People's hearts are impetuous..." Pei Mao glared at Pei Jun and said, "I came specifically to find you, just to warn you. If you have any tricks left, clean them up as soon as possible!"
Pei Jun quickly said: "Master, don't worry, I have never been greedy for money and will never be involved in anything like this!"
"It's fine if you don't have any! Pei doesn't have to worry about what other people do," Pei Mao said in a deep voice, "But if you hear that Pei's children are happy, they must not interfere with this matter! If there is any violation, they will be expelled from the clan!"
Pei Junwei said yes.
"Go and prepare the military supplies." Pei Mao squinted his eyes, seeming very tired, "The evil wolf from Dali Temple will come to Anyi soon... Be careful, that wolf... but you have to
Cannibals..."
…
…
"Ah Autumn!"
Sima Yi sneezed and rubbed his nose.
Sima Fu stretched out his hand to say hello, took out a large cloak and handed it to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi took it and put it on his body.
After learning about Xia Houyuan's detour and the appearance of Cao's army at Fenglingdu, Sima Yi immediately led his men and horses to quickly withdraw from Zhiguan Trail and went straight to Anyi.
The speed is so fast, like thunder, that it can travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.
It's very simple. If Sima Yi is blocked on Zhiguan Pass, then he is in a desperate situation. Cao's army is behind and behind him, and even gods can't save him. And Sima Yi, who has always been three points slipperier than a loach, so what?
Maybe put yourself in a situation where you are a man holding soap?
Definitely run away immediately.
I also brought Sima Fu along with me.
Brothers fight, father and son go into battle.
Anyi is a must-defend place east of Hedong.
"The people in Hedong must be scolding me..." Sima Yi smiled, as if he wanted to take the scolding as a compliment, and smiled like a fox who had just stolen a chicken.
"Brother, if we are defeated again and again, will someone..." Sima Fu said in a low voice, "Someone will underestimate my Sima family..."
"Isn't it good to underestimate me?" Sima Yi frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? Tigers and leopards are ferocious, but they also die from the beauty of their fur... Do you think you are beautiful? Do you want someone to chop off your brother's leg?"
, or should you chop off your own legs first?』
Sima Fu smiled dryly and said, "That's not what I meant..."
"Speaking of beautiful jade, do you know the authenticity of He's Bi?" Sima Yi said with a smile, "Bian He cried for three days, with blood and tears streaming down his face. It's really pitiful... But why did Bian He cry so that King Chu Wen could get it?"
You know? What a coincidence? Nowadays, there are many people crying in this world. I wonder if the emperor has ever heard of it? Only when the king says it is a beautiful jade can it be a beautiful jade! If... Haha, even if everyone knows that it is a beautiful jade, it will be the same
Just a piece of broken stone!』
"..." I don't know if it was because of the cold wind, but Sima Fu felt a little chilly.
He Shibi was King Li of Chu in the beginning.
During the reign of King Chu Li, he expanded the territory and conquered Xingxi, which strengthened the strength of the Chu State. The four words "筚路蓝丝" were also used to describe King Chu Li, so why did King Chu Li want a piece of beautiful jade?
So, what was offered was really jade, and what was chopped off was really a foot?
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the weather was even hotter than that of the Han Dynasty, and Chu State was a rainy and forested land. If one had to cut off one foot, one could live for at least fifty years. At the same time, another foot would need to be cut off, which would kill King Wu of Chu.
, to survive King Chu Wen...
Instead of calling him Bian He, let’s just call him Bian Gui!
And what is Han Feizi, and what does he do? To be honest, maybe in the case of Shibi, there was originally the word "someone heard" at the beginning, but it was later omitted.
Of course, the matter is too far away, and the records are quite sparse, so whether there is such a thing can only be judged by the wise and the benevolent. This is what Sima Yi wants to explain. King Li of Chu did not want beautiful jade.
King Wu of Chu didn't need it, only King Wen of Chu needed it, so the focus was not on beautiful jade.
Sima Yi continued to smile, "I don't know who owns the beautiful jade now... If you want to lose legs, you can do it, but don't involve the Sima family..."
"Little brother, I don't dare." Sima Fu obeyed obediently.
Sima Yi hummed twice and said no more.
Young people will inevitably feel that they are great for a period of time. But some people can understand it themselves, some people have to hit the wall to understand, and some people may not be able to die even if they hit the wall.
Can understand.
"In that case, why not use the strategy of three men becoming a tiger?" Sima Fu asked.
"No." Sima Yi sniffed and said, "In earlier years, it would have been okay to use this strategy, but now it doesn't work...Every strategy you take must be an upright way...otherwise...we will share hardships together."
It’s hard to be rich and noble..."
Sima Fu couldn't understand something.
"Hmph..." Sima Yi said in a low voice, "Yao's son Danzhu was not good enough to teach the world, so he gave it to Shun. If Shun was given, the world would benefit from it and Danzhu would be sick; if Danzhu was given to the world, the world would be sick and Danzhu would be given.
Its benefits. How should we interpret this statement?"
Sima Fu said smoothly, "Don't you use the world's disease to benefit one person?"
"Haha..." Sima Yi sneered, "Think again!"
"Uh..." Sima Fu pondered for a moment and then said, "Brother, what I mean is..." The princes who went to pilgrimage did not receive Danzhu but welcomed Shun; those who were in prison did not receive Danzhu but instead welcomed Shun; those who sang songs did not praise Danzhu.
And praise Shun?
"Of course." Sima Yi turned around, "Now that Danzhu is still there, we, my ministers, need Shun...he's here! Send an order to speed up the repairs, and drive all night, and we must arrive at Anyi tomorrow!"
