Chapter 3252 Response
In Chang'an, the people had not yet felt much turmoil, and the situation gradually subsided. As the cavalry and horses entered the school grounds near Chang'an, the movement gradually spread and ripples were stirred up in the Sanfu area such as Jingzhao Yin.
In the main hall of the General's Mansion of the Cavalry, Fei Zhen sat in the main seat, with Pang Tong and Xun You standing on the left and right.
For later generations, teenagers are probably still the "just a child" in most people's words, but today's great men are already at the age of being able to bear the heavy responsibility of the family.
"A gentleman should be a pillar of the country."
Pang Tong said slowly, "In the past, the lord and someone had this argument..."
After hearing this, even Xun You, who had excellent control of his daily expressions, could not help but reveal a little envy in his eyes.
Lushan, that's a magical place.
Fei Zhen was also thinking about how many years she had to wait for, and maybe she had to go there...
"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are at the end," Pang Tong said, "This matter is wrong, very wrong. It is not Guanzi's fault, but the mistake of future generations."
Xun You nodded and said, "Guan Zi was born in a poor family and had been a businessman since he was a child. How could he come from the end of the Shang Dynasty? He said that the four peoples are the pillars of the country. This is consistent with what the lord said. The four peoples are pillars. If the four peoples have different levels of heights, wouldn't the pillars of the stones have heights? Is that strange?"
Fei Zhen nodded, "The four people are the same, no distinction between high and low."
Pang Tong pinched his beard, "In the past, the scholars were based on virtue, knowledge, and talent, so they could rank high positions and win the hearts of the people. However, the people today had untrue people, and they did not take moral behavior seriously, but were the leader of power and strategy. They secretly occupied the top positions of the four people, some used flattery, some used slander, some used bribes, some used power and power to seize and steal reputations. Their behavior was wrong, their words were untrue, their hearts were not upright, and their ambitions were not good. However, many people in the world were blind and could not distinguish the authenticity, so these scholars could be at high positions, which harmed the true scholars to be unable to obtain the position."
Fei Zhen said, "This is a thief, how can you be called a scholar?"
Xun You laughed softly and said, "Are all the thieves in the world tattooing their faces?"
"This..." Fei Zhen thought.
"Young Master, who are the four people in the world?" Pang Tong asked.
"A farmer." Fei Zhen replied.
Pang Tong nodded and said, "Since that's the case, why can't the farmers in the world see their reputations, but only their crops?"
『This…』 Fei Zhen thought for a moment, "Shi Shu said that when he was in power, he should not ignore it just because of his silence?"
Tong Pang smiled with his palm, "That's right!"
Fei Zhen said: "My father once said that the quality of governing a country should be judged by the food and clothing that farmers eat. Those who should not let the people eat full should not be good laws."
Xun You nodded and said, "The words are different, and the principles are the same."
The children of the gentry, such as Pang Tong and Xun You, were undoubtedly intellectuals who recognized Fei Qian's new policy and were willing to carry forward it. However, in a land like Guanzhong, it was not only the old gentry and old Shandong who were slandering the new system of the cavalry, but also the big merchants who had previously been closely linked with these old gentry systems.
Because under the new policy system, there will be much less dark corners of collusion between officials and businessmen, which makes them very uncomfortable and unacceptable.
The initial reason for the collusion between officials and businessmen was that the Former Qin system did not leave a place for merchants.
Under the military system of "farming and war", the status of merchants was indeed at the end. In the Qin Dynasty, most of the output was not redundant, and it was not until the early Han Dynasty that the Han Dynasty focused on the land mu in Shandong, that is, a vast plain area like Jizhou and Yuzhou, that was, it was considered that agriculture was used to support more people, and at its peak, it reached 60 million people.
And for the development of Chinese society, it is inseparable from merchants.
China is not a country with the same environment as the same temperature in the north and south, so there will inevitably be great differences in the outputs. This will not reflect much differentiation during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, once the country is unified, this difference between the east, west, south and north must attract the attention of the rulers of the country.
But obviously, and unfortunately, the subsequent rulers of the feudal dynasty did not, or were deceived...
Pang Tong and Xun You now want to use Fei Qian's new system and this Chang'an purge to tell Fei Zhen some correct ideas.
There are many reasons why rulers do not understand this knowledge.
For example, at the beginning of the dynasty, those who climbed up the table might not have enough knowledge and experience in governing the country, and often rely on these traditional bureaucratic and gentry families. In the middle and late dynasties, due to the collusion between the huge bureaucratic system, it was difficult for government orders to leave the Forbidden City.
And what’s interesting is that this behavior of despising merchants on the surface and actually colluding with merchants on the secret has reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty...
What?
Big braid facing?
The Dapengzi Dynasty was a dynasty with a regression in the system, and it returned directly from the semi-civilized late Ming Dynasty to the slave system.
No matter what kind of male arachnids advocated the barking of female dogs, and used the territorial states, etc., to indicate that the big braid was not a slave country but the peak of the feudal dynasty, but in fact, no matter how much braided the peak, it was just one, the big braid was really not trying to go outwards.
The Western Regions? The Han people said, I have been here.
Mongolian? Huo Qubing sneered, I don’t know how many of your ancestors I killed.
Goryeo? Emperor Yang of Sui coughed.
Snowland? The Tang people cursed and said that the birds in Tubo were not something.
Even the Yuan Dynasty tried to conquer the Eastern Japanese, which scared the Eastern Japanese so much that they hurriedly put on their faces and licked them. How long did the Eastern Japanese admit it?
Is the peak behind closed door a ball?
Just a home.
Because the core of Big Braids knew that just their braids would control Youzhou, not to mention the entire China, they had to make peace with the remnants of the Ming Dynasty bureaucratic forces, so that those literati could make some fans on their faces, and prove that they wanted to replace the Ming Dynasty and become orthodox from the beginning, instead of snatching it away like bandits...
The reason why the Ming Dynasty could not hold on in the later period was that many people said it was the cycle of land annexation, but history was a spiral upward pattern. Each spiral was similar, but there were also differences. The problems of the Ming Dynasty were ultimately indeed a problem of land, but not entirely a problem of land. One part of it cannot be ignored, which is the problem of merchants.
Speaking of merchants in the Ming Dynasty, the most common understanding in later generations was that merchants in the Ming Dynasty had a low status, mainly based on the laws of Zhu Yuanzhang. This man's attitude towards merchants can be regarded as a stranger among the emperor. He once clearly stipulated that those merchants who were not engaged in production and specialized in the final business could be arrested without reason...
But are the merchants of the Ming Dynasty really so miserable?
Not, but from the open, it has moved towards gray and black.
In fact, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the merchant class made a crazily counterattack. Famous merchant gangs in various places rose rapidly, and the merchant forces occupied the court and the country like locusts, while the court had no choice but to these officials and businessmen who were closely linked with interests.
The most direct path to collusion between officials and businessmen is the integration of officials and businessmen. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the point where "no business is not businessman" was almost reached. Most of the main members of the Donglin Party were from small and medium-sized businessmen's families. At the same time, three-quarters of the Jinshi and Juren's families had a background in business. Behind the party struggles were countless big and small interests, and in these party struggles, almost all officials were digging for the corners of the Ming Dynasty.
almost.
After all, there are always some individuals, but these individual officials basically "can't die well."
A "strange phenomenon" in the late Ming Dynasty was that the Ming Dynasty could not impose taxes other than agricultural taxes, otherwise it would inevitably be firmly opposed by the Donglin Party. Moreover, such boycott activities were almost 100% successful...
There are too many things contained in this policy of "love the people as if they were children". The taxes in the Ming Dynasty were too heavy for agriculture, but for business, it was almost equivalent to none. In the Ming Dynasty, there were almost no commercial tariffs in other areas except along the canal and near Nanjing, Beijing. In most of the time, the total annual income of all industrial and commercial taxes was only more than three million taels, of which the market tax was only 40,000 taels. In the Song Dynasty, these commercial taxes could have exceeded 70 million taels, and even according to the official exchange rate, it was 70 million taels of silver.
During the Wanli period, in the "struggle" against the mine supervision and taxation envoy, the Donglin Party members performed particularly well, and officials at all levels kept writing letters. These Donglin Party directly questioned the emperor: "The emperor loves pearls and jade, and people also love food and clothing." The imperial cabinet threatened whether to serve or not, and before entering the cabinet, it wrote a letter to Shenzong to withdraw the mine supervision and taxation envoy, saying that it was "not talking about profit, only talking about meaning" and "not competing with the people for profit, hiding wealth among the people". The so-called subtle words of righteousness became the best cover for these guys to cover up their dirty things.
Poor, the government had not had much money in the pockets of money in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was still hit by tax evasion. Tax evasion was even encouraged by officials, who believed that as long as they were taxed, they could hand over the job. Once an official dared to offend the interests of merchants, he became the target of public criticism and became the negative textbook for competing for profit with the people. Those officials and businessmen who worked together to empty the country, even ignored the rise and fall of the country, stole and sold military supplies, and emptied the reserve granary...
This is why capital and authority are placed under the sun, because these two guys are born with various molds and viruses. As long as the environment is a little darker and more humid, mold will immediately spread.
The key is that this kind of mold is impossible to kill. Even if a small-scale sterile space is built, just open the doors and windows...
The Chinese dynasty tried to kill for thousands of years but failed to kill them completely, so it is very important to bask in the sun regularly.
I want to do it once and for all, and I mean that I have killed so many people who have not been clean yet. I sincerely hope that he can eat all his life's meal.
Pang Tong explained to Feizhen that most of the gentry and powerful gentry left among the Three Guards of Chang'an were actually "making wealth" in the forty years of the Western Qiang. Such as the Fan family, the Chen family, and some guys from Hedong Longxi.
The Han Dynasty originally fought against the Western Qiang, and the state lost all its best. Emperor Huanling and Ling were reduced to the point of selling three dukes. For the Western Qiang people, they said that they did not get any benefits. For ordinary grassroots farmers in the Han Dynasty, they were also exhausted. So where did so much money go?
"Everything in the world is available, but what they use may not necessarily lead to the right path." Pang Tong said, "Whether money is used, the lord's method is like the bloodline of a man. Where the money is open to the cavalry is the place where the bloodline of the Han Dynasty is transferred. Now, the economy and trade of the three servants in Guanzhong are becoming more and more prosperous, but the commercial tax has not increased much... Haha, this is naturally because the bloodline is blocked and the circulation is not smooth..."
Xun You also nodded and said, "Wei has confessed and colluded with Fan... Not only during the time of the cavalry, but even the Western Qiang incidents in the past were corrupt... Although time has changed, how can the crime be avoided because of the times?"
The gentry wants to make money, how much can the gentry family make?
I still need to do things through various white gloves, black gloves, gray gloves, green gloves...
In Wei Duan's glove series, Fan is undoubtedly the big head. It is normal that he is not visible before. Who has ever seen his own gloves be destroyed before an official fell? No official was in trouble, and the official's coachman could continue to be free...
Now that Wei Shi is not insured, of course it is impossible for these gloves to continue to be prosperous.
For the group of colluding with officials and businessmen, what kind of political environment is what they like?
Of course, they like an environment with lax supervision and imperfect laws. In such an environment, they can be more likely to gain more benefits through improper means.
But it cannot be an extremely chaotic and disorderly environment.
Because even they themselves cannot protect in such an environment, there is no such thing as any interest or unfavorable.
So how can we make supervision appear on the surface, but in fact it is not so strict and the laws are not so perfect?
Of course, it is to collude with more officials.
In places like the Sanfu in Guanzhong, the Great Han Dynasty, who are more suitable as protective umbrellas than famous families like Wei Duan and Wei?
People like Wei can only be considered a little witch in Yuan's side.
After all, Yuan was a three-monarch from four generations and was a professional official.
For example, the three generations of tax officials, money house managers, etc., are simply weak compared to the Yuan family.
When Fei sneaked into Guanzhong, these aristocrats and merchants colluded with officials and businessmen were naturally welcomed...
The King of the Lihu!
After all, when the Xiliang Army was in the Sanfu of Guanzhong, it was really a granary shop that was pried open and searched. During the search, the owner of the manor also smashed the turtle shell, which caused great damage to the entire economic environment, which was equivalent to a powerful anti-inflammatory drug, and all cells were killed randomly, both good and bad.
And the gentry and merchants who can escape or survive powerful anti-inflammatory drugs in such a harsh environment can really be done by Fei Qian just by just talking nonsense?
As the economy of Fikui Guanzhong Sanfu continues to recover and develop, commercial activities are becoming more and more frequent, and these originally atrophic fibroids begin to grow and gradually congested normal channels.
In troubled times, everyone lives a hard life.
When Dong Zhuo and Li Guo of Xiliang were in Sanfu, Fan was nesting in his own small dock wall. Although he was in the fort, he was still in a panic and had difficulty eating and using it. Everyone was filled with half of the food and half of the wild vegetables, and there was no other enjoyment.
It's different now...
If these people led by Fan before thought Fei Qian was the "king army", then now Fan and others think that Fei Qian and his group of people are all enemies.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
After enjoying the joy and comfort of collusion between officials and businessmen, who would want to go back and be a bitter one?
Wei Duan didn't want it, and Fan didn't want it either. And what's interesting is that even after hearing the news of Wei Duan's arrest, they still didn't believe it, or they were lucky...
This kind of luck mentality makes them still hold various fantasies even when the sword and axe are coming.
The cavalry won’t come, at most it’s just to scare you. Am I so scared?
At this time, who dares to really take action?
Are the cavalry not afraid of the chaos in Guanzhong?
Prime Minister Cao was outside the pass, and the cavalry could not handle it!
The cavalry dare not...
What?
Where did nearly 10,000 cavalry come from?
Don't joke, there are so many cavalrymen, I will perform on the spot...
People have selective memory.
These guys forgot that after the Cavalry entered the Sanfu of Guanzhong, they did not rely much on the local gentry and gentry system, but built a new ruling system on their own. Even if some problems arise in the process of building this official system, they have reached the present moment with a bumpy backbone that can shoulder heavy responsibilities.
Many of these guys live in the impression of Shandong as a great man back then.
The newly established management system of Fei Qian is naturally not something that Fei Qian can get by touching his mouth, nor is it that it can change his left pocket to his right pocket within one or two days. The step-by-step process of the inspection office's education and personnel accumulation of personnel has given the current Fei Qian political group the confidence to break away from these gentry gentry and powerful merchants to promote local operations.
How could even forget this guy, how could Pang Tong and Xun You have ordered the recruitment of reserve troops some time ago and added a large number of recruit training matters?
At the same time, Tian Yu also brought back a lot of mixed soldiers from Han and Qiang people from Longyou.
And if the troops of the three auxiliary guards in Guanzhong are not enough, there is also the Zhang Liao reserve army in Longyou...
However, the troops on Zhang Liao will not move easily. After all, the area where Zhang Liao is looking at is very large, and it is really impossible to do without cavalry.
Since we have taken action, with Pang Tong and Xun You's ability, of course, we can use all our strength to fight the rabbit, so we can't do any tricks to add fuel to it.
"Governing the country and governing the country is not something that can be done overnight." Pang Tong summarized Fei Zhen, hoping that through such practical cases, the new system promoted by Fei Qian could be continued in Fei Zhen, without a generation of monarchs and ministers, and a generation of emperors and ministers.
"Since ancient times, emperors and generals have taken this as their own responsibility, and there are few people who can achieve great things. Why? In governing a country, you need to be clear about things and distinguish right from wrong, but you need to think carefully and plan for the long term. Not only do you need to be strict with yourself and correct others' hearts, but you need to recruit talents and open up your own ways. Not only do you need to be diligent in political affairs and sympathize with people's livelihood, you need to know people and be good at appointing talents and be able to use them."
Pang Tong said slowly, "Governing the country and governing the country cannot be accomplished overnight. It takes time to accumulate to achieve results. Just like a farmer who cultivates a grain of millet in spring and harvests tens of thousands of seeds in autumn. Therefore, a gentleman must be persistent, and he will be successful. He also needs to have a wise strategy to achieve twice the result with half the effort. What is a wise strategy? It is adapted to the times, to adapt to the local conditions, and to adapt to the people. These three are the keys to govern the country. If one of them is obtained, he will be twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, a gentleman must be committed to change, and he will be able to make progress. He must not make up the old rules, nor do he follow others and have no fixed strategy."
"It is not easy for the master to openly establish a foundation, so I hope the young master will be careful, understand, understand and inherit it."
After Pang Tong finished speaking, he worshipped Xun You, "In this way, the Han Dynasty is very lucky, and the people in the world are very lucky!"
