It is not true that the Han Dynasty's policy is determined by the aristocratic family. It seems that appropriate changes must be made in the future. The relationship with the aristocratic family cannot be so stalemate. We can only wait until we recharge our batteries and have enough strength to resist the aristocratic family.
It's okay to make a fuss, but I'm still too immature.
Your starting point for the dawn of the world is good, but you must also have enough strength. Blindly overestimating your own capabilities will only kill this young shoot in the cradle.
The next day, the Wang family sent grain and rice to the prefect's mansion. Seeing the white rice being transported to various counties, Jia Rong took a long breath. Even if the rice porridge is thin, it will still be porridge when mixed with wild vegetables and can be preserved.
People's lives.
At nearly noon, the official sedan chair was staggered out of the prefect's mansion again, this time going to the Liu family.
After receiving the news, Liu Qiu had already led his family to wait outside the door. Liu Qiu had already learned about Jia Rong's visit to the Wang family yesterday. However, the Liu family has always been at odds with the Wang family. Among the four major aristocratic families, the Wang family has a closer relationship with the Yao family.
The Liu family has a good relationship with the Li family, so we don’t know exactly what happened when Jia Rong came to the Wang family. We only know that Wang Gu was very happy after Jia Rong left, and that Jia Rong left drunk.
Unlike yesterday at the Wang family, this banquet was only accompanied by Liu Qiu. Liu Qiu also knew that he was not a good drinker and did not repeatedly persuade Jia Rong to drink.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Jia Rong said straight to the point: "I'm afraid the food and rice in the prefecture will not be able to last until next year. The soldiers are defending Beidi County. We can't let them go hungry, right, Master Liu?"
Liu Qiu was about forty years old, with strands of white hair faintly visible in his hair, but his name was so funny, Liu Qiu, "Liu Qiu", Jia Rong resisted the urge to laugh.
After Liu Qiu saluted, he said: "Sir, the Liu family has hundreds of people, but they don't have much food."
Why do these aristocratic families all say this? Could it be that they have unified their views in advance. With Wang Gu's thousand stones, the Liu family can still run away. It must be because the Wang family and the Liu family are not dealing with each other. Wang Gu did not tell Liu Qiu that the Wang family donated thousands of stones of food.
About rice, Jia Rong thought secretly.
"Oh, yesterday the prefect went to the Wang family. When the head of the Wang family heard about this, he immediately decided to donate two thousand stones, grains and rice. The head of the Wang family is really a loyal man."
Observing that Jia Rong's words did not sound like lies, and Jia Rong could not lie to himself, Liu Qiu thought for a moment and said: "Sir, the Liu family is willing to contribute a thousand stones of grain and rice. The Liu family is no better than the Wang family and can only contribute so much grain."
Mi, please forgive me."
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Loyalty is not determined by the amount of grain and rice donated. There are still a few vacant positions in the prefecture. The prefect told the head of the Wang family yesterday." After saying this, Jia Rong stared intently.
Liu Qiu.
Liu Qiu's expression kept changing. If it was true as Jia Rong said, then the Liu family would definitely be weaker than the Wang family in terms of donating food and rice. Since Jia Rong came to Beidi County, no aristocratic family has held an official position. This is also the case in Beidi County.
After the war in the prefecture, those aristocratic families fled Beidi County after receiving the news in advance. After returning, Jia Rong was appointed as the governor of Beidi County by the court.
"The Liu family is willing to pay two thousand dan for food and rice!" Liu Qiu looked bitter, and a few strands of his beard were pulled off his chin.
"Hahahaha, the head of the Liu family is really generous. In the near future, the head of the Liu family can let a few of his juniors report to Zhang Changshi's office in the prefecture." Jia Rong said.
Liu Qiu thanked him and his expression softened a lot.
After Jia Rong left, Liu Qiu asked Wang Gu about Jia Rong's request for food, and told the Li family about the Liu family's donation of two thousand stones of food and rice.
After that, Jia Rong used the same method to get the other two families to pay two thousand dan each for grain and rice. Jia Rong regretted not being more black than Wang Gugu. Maybe he felt too sorry for the old man. Respecting the old and loving the young has been passed down since ancient times.
It's a virtue, Jia Rong thought of a reason to comfort himself.
Wang Gu learned that Jia Rong had received 2,000 shi of grain and rice from three other families, and secretly sent another 1,000 shi of grain and rice to the prefect's mansion. Wang Gu's calculations were loud and clear, and he was afraid that Jia Rong would attack the younger generations of the Wang family because of this.
The food problem that troubled Jia Rong was finally solved. Jia Rong's order to the county magistrates was to use grain and rice frugally as before. Mi Zhu's grain transportation has not yet been determined, so he cannot be happy too early; the current situation in Beidi County is this
With everything waiting to be done, Jia Rong was a little puzzled as to why Jia Xu didn't stay with him in Beidi County. Jia Xu, a veteran in political strategy, could help him and he could do whatever he wanted to do without being a shopkeeper.
For the descendants of the four major aristocratic families, Jia Rong arranged insignificant positions for them. Jia Rong's reason was that "young people need more exercise!" To this, the four major aristocratic families also expressed their acquiescence. In the words of later generations, these children of the aristocratic families are all superiors.
Those who have passed school, and Beidi County lacks talents, sooner or later they will be reused.
The soldiers who went to nearby counties to ask for food only brought back the news that there was no food in the county. Wang Fang, the prefect of Anding County, even sent a message to Jia Rong, saying that even if there was food, he would not borrow it. The Wang family of Beidi County did exactly that.
The family is said to be inextricably related to the Wang family in Beidi County, and is also related to Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi. Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, was one of the 18 princes who fought against Dong. The Wang family was in Beidi County.
The power can be said to be intricately intertwined.
Wang Fang's words made Jia Rong very angry. After all, Jia Rong was still a military general. How could he withstand Wang Fang's verbal provocation. He was so angry that he immediately led his troops to sweep away the Wang family in Beidi County.
Zhang Li tried his best to stop him, but the name Wang Fang was remembered by Jia Rong.
The replies from other counties were relatively tactful, but the result was the same, not a grain of grain was borrowed.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and then Mi Zhu came with the convoy. After hearing the news reported by the guards, Jia Rong hurriedly got up from his chair. He was unsteady and almost fell to the ground. The rice and wild vegetables he had brought in for the past few days made him feel uncomfortable.
Jia Rong was also a little overwhelmed. He blocked the guard's supporting arm and trotted all the way to the Beidi County city wall.
Looking at the majestic motorcade outside the city, Jia Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Jia Rong gave Mi Zhu a bear hug and laughed and said, "If Brother Zizhong comes back later, I'm afraid I've already reported to the Lord of Hell."
"Prince of Hell? What is it?" Mi Zhu asked.
Jia Rong realized that he had said the wrong thing again. In this era, there is no such thing as the Lord of Hell. He laughed and said, "It's nothing. It'll be fine if Brother Zizhong is here."
Mi Zhu looked at Jia Rong's sallow face and said, "Why is Zhiyuan's face so sallow? Could it be that he is sick?"
Seeing Mi Zhu's rosy and shiny face, Jia Rong secretly cursed, "A man who is full does not know that a man who is hungry is hungry."
"Beidi County has been eating wild vegetable porridge and whole grain cakes for a month. How can your complexion be better?"
Listening to the anger in Jia Rong's tone, Mi Zhu said: "Brother Zhiyuan doesn't know how difficult this journey is. Thieves are rampant on the road now. Just look at the two hundred servants outside the city and you will know what is going on."
Jia Rong took a closer look and was really shocked. When he looked at it, he could only describe Mi Zhu's motorcade as majestic, but now that he was close, he could describe it as spectacular.
Mi Zhu explained: "This time I have brought ten thousand stones of food to Brother Zhiyuan. I believe it can solve Beidi County's food problem. What we have in front of us is only part of this food, and there will be more later."
In ancient times, a cart could pull about 2,000 to 2,500 kilograms of grain. One stone was 120 kilograms, and 10,000 kilograms was 1.2 million kilograms. More than 500 grain carts were needed. Imagine more than 500 kilograms.
What is it like when a car is driving on the road?
There are about a hundred carriages outside the city, which is equivalent to two thousand stones of grain. Each carriage is accompanied by two servants. Five hundred carriages also have one thousand servants. It seems that the private soldiers of these aristocratic families are indeed a force that cannot be underestimated.
The power of contemplation also strengthened Jia Rong's idea of relaxing with the aristocratic families in Beidi County.
"Brother Zizhong is moving?" Jia Rong joked.
He ordered Zhang Li to make arrangements for the servants and grooms who brought Mi Zhu, and took Mi Zhu to the prefect's mansion.
At the same time, food was quickly sent to counties and counties, and soldiers and people in each county, including county magistrates, were finally able to have a good meal.
In order to give Mi Zhu a taste of how he has been spending his time recently, Jia Rong ordered the kitchen to prepare a table full of wild vegetables, including stir-fried wild vegetables, cold wild vegetables, and wild vegetable soup. Anyway, the staple food was the same, wild vegetables, and even the food he drank was wild vegetable porridge.
Seeing Mi Zhu grinning while eating, Jia Rong felt happy, but seeing Jia Rong eating with gusto, Mi Zhu could only endure it.
After dinner, the two sat in the prefect's mansion and chatted. However, Zhang Li was very busy, organizing the transportation of grain and grass to various counties and distributing grain and rice to the homes of the victims. Zhang Li did everything personally.
"I wonder how Wei'er will be in the army?" Mi Zhu was most worried about his only seedling.
Jia Rong said with a smile: "Brother Zizhong, don't worry, Mi Wei is doing well in the army. It's just that brother Zizhong's food and grass arrived too late, and Mi Wei also ate wild vegetable porridge for many days."
Mi Zhu said: "As long as everything is fine, it will be good for the young man to suffer a little."
How could the trace of reluctance revealed in Mi Zhu's eyes escape Jia Rong's discernment? He turned the conversation to the Mi family and said, "Brother Zizhong is such a big family. He transported ten thousand shi of grain at a time, and thousands of servants accompanied him."
Mi Zhu smiled bitterly and said: "Zhiyuan, please don't tease me as a brother. These are all temporary purchases of grain and rice from various places. Their merchants are responsible for transporting them. A thousand servants are too many? Zhiyuan, the prefect, is a bit incompetent."
"
Jia Rong leaned forward slightly and asked, "Brother Zizhong, what do you mean by this?"
Mi Zhu smoothed his beard under his chin and said slowly: "There must be more than a thousand private soldiers among the aristocratic families in Beidi County, right?"
Jia Rong has never studied this issue, and no one has mentioned it to him. If it is true as Mi Zhu said, then the power of the four major families in Beidi County can influence the situation in Beidi County. This power of the family cannot be ignored.
If the power can be used for oneself, it will be a great help.
Only after eating wild vegetable porridge for several days can we realize how sweet and delicious the rice is. In the past few days, the county magistrates of various counties have also been hungry and dizzy, but as the governor of a county, Jia Rong also ate
They lived on wild vegetables. These county magistrates were also from poor families, and they would starve to death without complaining.
