Chapter 3261 I dont have nothing. I dont have nothing.
Chapter 3260 I don’t have nothing. I don’t have nothing.
Chang'an.
Tian Yu, Kan Ze, Guan Ning, Wang Xiang and others attacked in stages, going to Fufeng on the right, Fengyi on the left, and Yin Zhao on the left, arresting the people on the list one by one and confiscating their property.
Webster was not the only one whose property was confiscated.
Of course, on the surface, everyone is implicated by Webster...
All of a sudden, it was in full swing.
After countless people's old records were uncovered and the butt curtains were lifted, people suddenly realized that there were all these famous houses in the red building, brothel, white building and black building!
Learned a lot!
For example, Yang Han, formerly known as Yang Qiu, was from Anding. He also led an army to cause trouble in Guanzhong when Li Guo was fighting for hegemony. After Li Guo was defeated, he sneaked into the mountains and took advantage of Fei to sneak into Guanzhong and change his job when his household registration was in chaos.
He became a village man, bought and sold by force, colluded with the government, and oppressed the people.
Kong Gui, whose original name was Kong Gui, was from Tianshui. He was acquainted with Yang Qiu and often colluded with each other. There were many gaps with Cheng Yimawan and others. Therefore, after Yimawan was defeated and fled, Kong Gui and Yang Qiu changed their names to Youfufeng.
Kong Gui settled down and pretended to be a merchant. He also made a lot of money traveling to the Western Regions over the years.
As well as Li Jue and Guo Si's relatives, tribesmen, generals, etc...
The reason why Li Jue and Guo Si were able to become the candidates to govern after Dong Zhuo's death was not that Li Jue and Guo Si were the best at fighting, but because these two people had the most connections, so they were able to overpower the others.
The general of Xiliang became the heir to Dong Zhuo's legacy. Even Dong Zhuo's son-in-law was not their competitor.
After the deaths of Li Jue and Guo Si, only a small number of these households related to Li Guo died in the battle. Some of the others fled to other places without a trace, while others changed their names and stayed incognito. After all, during Dong Zhuo and Li Guo's stay in Chang'an,
, the entire government of the Han Dynasty was in chaos, and it was completely normal to modify any household registration, or even to have no household registration at all.
In many places, the original population has either been killed or fled due to wars. After these people are brought back to life, as long as someone serves as circumstantial evidence, it is impossible for Fei Qian, who has just arrived in Chang'an, to immediately verify the identities of these people...
These people naturally delayed and survived.
Although these guys who became anonymous after Dong Zhuo and Li Guo were also the key targets of this attack, compared with those gentry and squires who have been in Guanzhong all year round, they are not an order of magnitude behind.
After China moved from a military polity to a manor polity, it was trapped in this political and economic model for a long time. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that some scholar-bureaucrats and gentry representatives governed the country.
The government was a symbol of the monarch's mascot, but it was not finalized, so it was dragged again by natural disasters and man-made disasters into a more barbaric slave-nomadic structure of politics.
In China's dynasty, which was mainly based on farming, it was still basically a society of nobles and nobles, but within the entire politics, they were also fighting against each other. In the beginning, it was just Guanzhong and Guandong, that is, the Shanxi and Shandong nobles were fighting.
In this way, the seesaw balance will always be broken one day, but it happened that in the subsequent dynasties of the Chinese farming model, another political group appeared...
"Jiangnan Gentlemen"!
Therefore, behind the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that many people in later generations are familiar with, how many people can realize that this is actually the prototype of the tripartite gentry.
The triangle is the most stable form, so these three political forces have dominated the Chinese dynasty for hundreds of years, delaying China's steps to go further. They are like three huge shackles on the Chinese giant.
Even to later generations there are still some indelible imprints.
"Guanlong nobles", "Shandong nobles" and "Jiangnan nobles" are relatively weak externally. They are indeed strong in territorial defense, but weak in expansion. They suppress the people internally very seriously. They control the expansion and dissemination of effective knowledge and consciously delete scriptures.
The part about being able to teach yourself...
Of course, in the current Han Dynasty, the "Jiangnan gentry", or Jiangdong, was not very popular, but it was obvious in history that it would become a latecomer, and now the "Guanlong gentry" was extremely powerful from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.
, it will explode to its final potential in these hundreds of years, and then gradually decline.
The dispute between Shandong and Shanxi was the main line of political struggle from the Spring and Autumn Period to the late Tang Dynasty.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin State located in Guanzhong was in opposition to the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. The Six Kingdoms regarded themselves as Chinese orthodox. The Kwantung Allied Forces attacked Hangu Pass many times to destroy the Qin State in Guanzhong. In the end, Qin State was defeated.
The army wiped out the Shandong nobles and unified China.
By the Han Dynasty, the central court was located in Chang'an City in Guanzhong, but the old forces in Guandong were still very powerful. Many old nobles left over from the Six Kingdoms had evolved into local tyrants. There were many "local snakes" who were not convinced by the central court. Qin Shihuang and Han Gaozu
They all moved the wealthy families from Guandong to Guanzhong in large numbers to supervise them and prevent rebellion.
Some of these powerful nobles and nobles from Shandong who were relocated gradually began to consider themselves Guanzhong people in the process of settling in Guanzhong for a long time, but there were still many who still missed Shandong and tried to return to the embrace of the warm family of Shandong.
For example, Fan.
The Fan family does not seem to be very famous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but in fact the Fan family was already a huge family in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Fan family was one of the three major surnames in the Spring and Autumn Period of Jin.
Therefore, the Fan family can actually be found all over China. There is the Fan family in Nanyang, Hedong, and Guanzhong.
The Fan family in Nanyang is more famous because of Fan Pang. This guy was one of the celebrities in the Qing Dynasty in the late Han Dynasty. He was combined with Guo Tai and others to form the "Ba Gu". If he was combined with Liu Biao and others, he could be combined to form the "Eight Friends" or "Eight Friends".
Hachijun]...Hmm, why does it feel like some kind of deck part...
The Fan family in Hedong has been confiscated and exterminated.
But who would have thought that the Fan family in Hedong and the Fan family in Guanzhong are actually involved?
As for the Fan family in Guanzhong, they are not as famous as Fan Pang, but compared with the Fan family in Hedong, the Fan family in Guanzhong is obviously fatter.
Now in Fan Mansion, Fan Ling is restless.
In the past, there were always people coming and going in the Fan Mansion, and it was very lively. However, at this time, the atmosphere in the house was dull. Everyone, whether they were members of the Fan family or ordinary servants, looked anxious and uneasy.
There is a look of impending disaster.
In the study, Fan Ling sat slumped, his body feeling tired and restless.
On the table next to Fan Ling, there is something that should not be there...
Fan's ancestral tablet.
Fan Ling's originally fat body was now curled up into a ball, and he knelt down under the memorial tablet. It seemed that this would make him feel a little safer. His face was shiny, and cold sweat would flow from his forehead from time to time. He was mumbling, "I don't know."
Praying for something.
In the past few days, he seemed to be ten years older than before, his beard and hair had also turned gray, and there seemed to be a lot more wrinkles on his face.
Ever since Webster's incident happened, Fan Ling had locked himself in his study, thinking about all his connections with Webster. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became...
Over and over again, he was thinking about one question, why is this happening?
Aren’t we talking about a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family?
Why did Webster collapse like that?
Things are developing too fast...
Wei Duan was arrested, and soon the Wei Manor was ransacked, and then someone inexplicably made trouble and openly attacked the Hussar official house. And just by such a coincidence, Fei Zhen and Pang Tong arrived with the Hussar troops!
There must be someone behind this whole incident!
However, Webster and Wei Duan were put on trial in Qinglong Temple!
What's even more frightening is that at the last moment, Wei Duan started to bite...
Everything is like dominoes, falling down one after another. There is no chance of rescue. You can only watch the collapse complete, or the dominoes may arrange themselves incorrectly in the middle.
Too fast, too fast!
When Fan Ling thought that the houses, shops, and properties of the Wei family had all become the trophies of the Hussars, his heart beat faster and he became frightened. There were also many Wei family stewards and clan members who had also been arrested.
?
Did Wei Duan confess Fan Ling?
Did those Webster's stewards and clan members involve him?
But Shengsheng couldn't go to inquire and ask who was involved and who was not on the list.
Yesterday there was news that Kong Gui was arrested. It was said that it was Kong Gui who was actually Kong Gui. He changed his name and has been a merchant for a long time...
Such people can be found, so who will be next?
Will it be your turn and your family's turn?
Fan Ling smiled miserably.
Webster, who I thought would never fall, fell, so what else is impossible?
Fan and Webster, as well as some people from Xiqiang, are really too closely connected!
As early as the Xiqiang Rebellion, Fan Ling had secret communication and trade with the Qiang people, and made a lot of money, which was then distributed to other powerful nobles, forming a huge
network of interests.
Webster is one of the very important nodes, and now this node is caught in the hands of Qiaoqi, who is following the clues...
Originally, this net was strong enough. After all, all the people in the net would protect and cover each other, just like lettuce leaves covering slices of meat. As long as the top part could not be seen, the bottom part would be filled with sweet bean paste and mayonnaise.
I can't explain it, everything is smooth, harmonious and friendly.
If something goes wrong with one of the families, the other families will join together to make amends. Political obedience does not require any special teaching. Many children of the family will be born with it. After all, it is the law of the Han Dynasty that relatives hide from each other!
But now this network is corrupted so quickly that there is no time for each other to make any moves!
And the more it happens at a time like this, the more conspicuous it becomes when anyone moves!
At the same time, there were many people who trampled on the low and supported the high, but few offered help in times of trouble. Seeing Wei's collapse, Fan might be implicated. Immediately, some people began to denounce Fan as a profiteer who brought disaster to the country and the people, and everyone wanted to punish her.
…
Fan Ling sent people to secretly contact some friends, but unfortunately, his "friends" either just avoided trouble and didn't even see him, or they were too busy taking care of themselves.
Fan Ling knelt down and prayed devoutly to his ancestral tablet...
Then he heard a faint shout of "Wansheng" that seemed to come from afar.
Fan Ling's body trembled violently, and then he wanted to stand up, but because his legs and feet were weak, he bumped into the table in front of him.
The tablet of Fan's ancestors on the table shook a few times, and then fell to the edge of Fan Ling's saving palm!
"Boom!"
The tablet smashed to the ground dullly, the tablet broke into two parts, and the tablet and the base fell sideways...
Fan Ling stared at the tablet that had been broken into two pieces, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, trembling like a bird falling into an ice cave.
…
…
It was Guan Ning who led the troops to raid Fan's mansion.
Although Guan Ning was born into a well-known family and was said to be a descendant of Guan Zhong, Guan Ning himself was very poor. When his father died, he didn't even have enough funeral expenses...
Well, yes, life is not easy, and death is also not easy. You can't even afford to die without money. This is not a custom only in later generations, but has existed since the Han Dynasty.
Four hundred years of loyalty and filial piety!
At that time, Guan Ning's relatives wanted to help Guan Ning with some funeral expenses, but Guan Ning refused. On the one hand, Guan Ning did not want to owe a favor, and on the other hand, he felt that extravagant funerals were not a good custom.
For Guan Ning, his daily life was relatively frugal. Even when he went to Guanzhong and served as an official under the Hussar, he still had very high requirements for himself. He did not spend money recklessly or pursue extravagant things.
But when Guan Ning arrived in front of Fan's Mansion, he was still surprised. Even though he had thought about the extravagance of Fan's Mansion before arriving, the scene in front of him still exceeded his imagination.
There is a huge mansion in front of me. I don’t know how many people are in and out. I just know that when I look from the gate to both sides, I feel like I can’t see my head...
Is this still a mansion?
The manor is nothing more than that!
There are sapphire stone steps in front of the door, and the red lacquer door is inlaid with copper nails.
The eaves are covered with glazed tiles, and the tiles are also painted with gold...
"People's fat and people's anointing..." Guan Ning didn't know why, but he felt anger burning in his heart, "There are people in Guanzhong, and they only cost a few dollars a day! This... this Fan family... these are all the flesh and blood of the people!"
』
The inspector on the side also nodded and said with emotion: "In the countryside, it is common to see people with no food or clothing in the cold winter, and they are reluctant to use even coal to keep out the cold... These bricks and tiles from the Fan family,
Haha, I'm afraid just one piece is enough for ordinary people to keep out the cold all winter long!"
For Guan Ning and the inspector, they may not know what the Gini index is, but they can understand the meaning of what they are seeing in front of them. This real gap between rich and poor is far greater than the official official written statement.
The index remains unchanged, which is even more dazzling.
"Come here! Break down the door!" Guan Ning shouted angrily, "I've been ordered to search for my fellow criminals! Those who stand in the way will be killed without mercy!"
The hussar soldiers and inspectors rushed forward. Fan's servants at the door were quickly killed and scattered. The closed door was knocked open, and the soldiers rushed into Fan's mansion...
After the door was broken open, the servants in the Fan Mansion could no longer resist. Those who dared to hold weapons were killed on the spot. Those who knelt down and surrendered could still save their lives. Many servants immediately forgot their previous oaths of allegiance.
, fell to his knees on the ground without even daring to raise his head. Then the hussar soldiers and inspectors searched the houses and picked out the Fan clan members one by one. They cried and screamed and brought them to the front yard to gather together. Men, women, old and young were all densely packed.
, the more they gather, the more they gather.
Soon after, Fan Ling, who was trying to escape, was captured by the hussar soldiers in a secret passage and dragged to Guan Ning, which immediately caused the Fan clan to cry even louder.
"The people and wealth are the blood of the country."
Guan Ning said in a deep voice, "Since the Husband came to Guanzhong, he has always put the people first and wealth for use! As the saying goes, if the people have no wealth, how can they support their families? If the country has no wealth, how can it raise troops and prepare for war? Therefore, the most important thing is the people's wealth.
Don’t ignore it!』
"There is a saying in Li, "When wealth gathers, the people disperse, and when wealth disperses, the people gather. Therefore, if something goes out contrary to what is said, it goes in contrary to what is said, and if goods go in contrary to what is said, it goes out contrary to what is said." Fan should have been
The people in the countryside have been thinking and caring, and they have been raising their spirits, but now they are all contrary to what they say, and it is useless to harm the people!"
"The people are in poverty, and prices are rising. But the Fan family, not knowing why, is raking in the people's wealth! Qiaoqi reduces taxes and simplifies collection, so that the people have more money to live and die. They should also open up territories, develop agriculture and mulberry trees, and prosper.
Industry and commerce are used to increase the country's needs and increase the people's wealth! But they don't want Fan to be in the middle and exploit them at all levels. Who knows, the people's wealth is not only the wealth of the country, but also the wealth of the whole world!"
"Master Fan, what else do you have to say?"
Guan Ning himself is a gentleman, so he also hopes that people around him can understand the truth and know what is right and wrong, so he tries his best to express what is right and what is wrong. He wants to explain Fan's problem, hoping to
There are more people who understand the truth of things instead of relying on the fear of killing to make people surrender.
Guan Ning undoubtedly agreed very much with Hussar's strategy of governing the country.
As the saying goes, when wealth gathers people disperse, wealth disperses and people gather together.
If wealth is excessively concentrated in the hands of a few people, it will inevitably lead to the expansion of the gap between the rich and the poor and the intensification of social conflicts.
The greater the wealth gap, the lower the trust of the upper class will become worse and worse. The tearing and trust crisis between the upper and lower classes will further have a huge impact on economic development. Eventually, the economic development situation will continue to deteriorate, and the entire country will become resentful.
People's morale is unstable.
In the final evolution, few people can survive alone.
Even those bureaucrats who feel that they can be officials anywhere, or the local squires in counties and counties.
Just like before the Han Dynasty, there were many gentry and gentry, especially those in Shandong. They felt that what happened to the Yellow Turban Rebellion of the Han Dynasty, and what happened to Dong Zhuo and Li Guo for causing trouble in Guanzhong. They could still travel around the mountains and rivers, eat and drink freely.
Looking for flowers and willows?
But what about now?
The war is sweeping across, involving everyone who previously thought they could stay out of it!
It's a pity that Fan Ling obviously did not accept Guan Ning's kindness.
Fan Ling howled and cried, "I'm wronged! I'm wronged! Even though my house looks so beautiful outside, in fact my family has no money! Really no money! If you don't believe me, I'll open a warehouse to show you! I really don't have any, I really don't have any money... I don't have any."
There is really nothing!』
A moment later, the hussar soldiers who went to the backyard to check Fan's warehouse came back with a frown and reported: "In the warehouse, there were only old corn, a small amount of cotton and linen cloth, and some copper coins and silver coins... There were no other treasures..."
』
A trace of disgrace flashed in Fan Ling's eyes, a cry of injustice that was like snow falling in June.
Guan Ning couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Could it be that as Fan Ling said, Fan is just a dung beetle with a shiny dung egg?
