"It's really surprising how big brother Nan Rong has changed after only a few years apart."
"Where is the book? Dear brother, you have changed a lot. You were still a child when the Yellow Turban broke out. After so many years, you have become a young man. Bingzhou is also prosperous in your hands, and people of all ethnic groups can live in harmony. By the way.
,I heard it here earlier
The surname says that the ancestor of this ramen is a man named Li Xue. I have always wondered if there is someone with the same name. I didn’t expect it. I didn’t expect it to be you. I must try your craftsmanship this time. I am now
But I can’t live without this thing even for two meals a day.”
"Ashamed, ashamed, this ramen is just an accidental inspiration, and the craftsmanship is not worth mentioning. However, I am a good hand at it. It was her hard work that made this home-cooked delicacy what it is now. Seriously.
Come on, she is the ancestor."
"But speaking of Shushi, my dear brother is not a dignified Bingzhou pastor. Why did he lead his troops here today and even go to the Western Regions?"
"This is a long story. Anyway, in a nutshell, everything is because of His Majesty's will."
"Your Majesty's will? Could it be Dong Zhongying's conspiracy? My dear brother, you are too careless. Li Ru is not a simple person."
Faced with this god-like reply, Li Shushi really doesn't know how to answer now. No, maybe now Li Shushi can't even achieve such a subtle expression as a smile, although this is the teaching of the great god Lingbo.
"Come on, come on~ This is my lady's confident work, just wait and cry, mortals..."
"I'm talking about Luo He, it seems that the production company has not been changed. Why has your image suddenly collapsed so badly?"
"This·is·secret·yo~☆"
So, when Li Shushi was chatting with Luo He, the sound of eating noodles could already be heard in his ears. Well, it was a very familiar sound of wolfing down noodles. And the most important thing was that Luo He had only brought two bowls of noodles in total, but now he was miraculously already eating them.
An empty bowl appeared.
"This is unscientific, coach!"
The Taishou's Mansion in Hanyang County is quite lively on weekdays, but it was particularly lively today. Various sounds could be heard from all directions in the private reception room in the backyard of the Taishou's Mansion - there were the collision of iron tools, various
The sound of shouts, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground or colliding, especially the words spoken in various languages make people think that they have arrived at the World Expo.
However, neither Li Shushi, the guest, nor Fu Xie, the prefect of Hanyang, the owner of the place, seemed to care about this.
Speaking of which, if Fu Xie hadn't recognized Lu Bu, who had been quite active on the battlefield, especially beating Sun Jian into a pig's head, and a certain goddess Loli-chan who was quite capable of causing harm to people, I really don't know what the current situation would have been like.
Well, because although Fu Xie has only been in office for two years, his reputation in Hanyang County is extremely good.
Although Li Shushi's troops were all experienced in battles, compared with Fu Xie who could easily mobilize the strength of a county, if there was a conflict between the two parties, Li Shushi would end up fleeing in panic like a bereaved dog.
This may be the charm of Fu Xie, a man who came from Beidi County, which was almost abandoned by the Han, and grew up in a mixed area of Hu and Han without the jurisdiction of the Han government. He understood the sufferings of the people on the frontier since he was a child and had a kind heart.
"The people are suffering, how can I bear to add to their burden? Although the Qiang people have rebelled frequently, in the final analysis, it is not because of the embarrassment of life that they have lost their fear. Those prefects and governors from the Central Plains because
Without understanding the local situation, they blindly adopt strict laws.
Suppression may have some effect at first, but it is not a long-term solution. If officials violate laws and disciplines again, not to mention the Qiang people, even the people of the Han Dynasty will start riots. The sages have said, "The people are not afraid of death.
Why should I fear death? 'Now I will influence them with kindness and righteousness, and deter them with punishments, and then the people will be at peace."
"Well, it might be better if we add 'settlement with benefits'. Anyway, I think rich people are more afraid of death than poor people."
"I see... Our Lord Zhou Mu is indeed smarter than me. Now I have been worrying about how to build a building like the Xihe Stadium. I originally thought it was because of Xihe's wealth, but now it seems that I lack some strategy.
"
"As long as Brother Nanrong doesn't mind if I don't recognize you."
Speaking of the two meetings between Li Shushi and Fu Xie (theoretically), one was because he was young and kept a low profile, so he did not notice this powerful man under Huangfu Song, and the other time was because Fu Xie led Chencang soldiers and civilians to resist the Qiang people for dozens of years.
Japan's image was so bad that it really can't be associated with today's handsome and majestic-looking man with a Chinese character.
Fortunately, Fu Xie is an open-minded person. Even if a girl sends him 10,000 good guy cards, he will never be angry, not to mention Li Shushi's small rudeness. At the same time, he is not like some powerful families who despise Li Shushi, who has a reckless background.
He is a "sycophant", but because he knows the suffering of the people, he has an instinctive and heartfelt affection for officials like Li Shushi who attach great importance to people's livelihood.
Therefore, even though he knew clearly that Li Shushi had changed the topic of the Western Regions just now, he was not angry. Instead, he accompanied Li Shushi's teasing in a nonchalant way, acting like a good brother next door.
Well, Li Shushi is definitely the kind of naughty little brother.
"Forget it, since you don't want to say more, forget it, but the farthest point in the Western Region is thousands of miles away from Bingzhou. Although I have never been there, I have heard from the elders of the clan that there are many countries there, as if
Like the princes of the Zhou Dynasty, although the citizens of each country cannot be called arrogant, they are also quite brave and arrogant and cannot be easily convinced. It may not be possible to defeat them.
It is not difficult, but it is not easy to convince their hearts. If you cannot convince their hearts, then the expedition will become an empty talk. Even if you have convinced their hearts, how to maintain the defense there is still a big problem.
Big problem. In the past, there were countless heroes of the Ban family, and countless heroes sent to the Western Regions as envoys, but in the end they still had to withdraw sadly. Dear brother..."
Although Fu Xie did not continue speaking, it could be seen from his expression that he was not optimistic about Li Shushi's trip.
"Indeed, Brother Nan Rong is right. Personally, I also have such doubts, but..."
"Why, is there anything that tempts you, who has a mind more like that of a businessman?"
"Brother Nanrong knows me well. When I was in Guzang, I had some exchanges with several Hu merchants who traveled between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. According to them, the silk, Shu brocade, tea and other products we produce here are just random things.
If you sell the goods to the Western Regions and resell them, you can get dozens of times the profit. And if you dare to take risks and endure the cold and hardship, you can get hundreds and thousands of times the profit when these goods reach the far west.
.Students believe that if this is true, mulberry and tea can be planted in the mountains. Firstly, it will not occupy cultivated land and will not affect food production. Secondly, it will allow the people to earn more income. Although the land in the Western Regions is bitter, it is not
There is no place to live. If there is a hundred times the profit, even buying food from other places is cost-effective. Although my idea is very simple, I still want to give it a try before I am willing to do it."
"A hundred times or even a thousand times the profit? If that's really the case, even I would be tempted... But such a huge profit should require the same or even greater risks."
"Yes, the environment, climate, wild animals, bandits, difficulties caused by local governments, communication difficulties and even misunderstandings caused by language barriers in different places, and many other unexpected problems have become inevitable with the increase of trade routes.
Foreknowledge, but it is precisely because of this that these goods can have such a high value in other places. After all, risk is also a cost."
"Some of the words don't seem to be easy to understand, but I understand the general meaning. I think based on the reputation you have spread here, your army should be much stronger than the powerful private armies or rangers I have here, but
You still want to recruit people here, do you have any other plans, maybe I can help you."
"When the western part of Xihe County was basically controlled by the Huns, I once saw many Han warehouses in Yuanyin. Because they could bring the supplies that the Huns needed, even the Huns did not dare to be too harsh on them.
Over time, these Han people and Huns gradually blended together, and many people were already unsure whether they should be considered Han or Huns."
"Well, this kind of situation is not uncommon in Beidi County. Han families like the Ren family, our Fu family, and the Ye family can survive largely because we are better at business than those Hu people. They need
our existence.”
"People have strengths and weaknesses, and there are things that they are good at and things that they are not good at. So I secretly think that the most important reason why the Han Dynasty was unable to consolidate its rule in the Western Regions was that we only stationed some troops there, and at most we had more farms.
Soldiers and a small number of managers, no matter how they interact with the local people, there is always a sense of
The feeling of alienation. As long as someone is instigating it, the locals will treat us as outsiders and drive us away. If we use the army as the backing to allow some families to take root in the Western Regions, maybe the situation will be different... Of course, these are all me
Some personal opinions, maybe the facts are not what I think."
"Although intuitively I feel that there are many loopholes, but sometimes you are not qualified to say anything if you don't do it. Instead of lamenting here, it is better to regret it after doing it, not to mention that it is possible not to regret it but
So proud of it.”
"Yes, because I have this idea, even if I feel it is a bit dangerous, I still want to try it without overestimating my capabilities."
"Do you need any support from me?"
"Can you test it for me? It seems that one of my original targets has rejected me."
"Haha, I am also the prefect of Hanyang County after all, so maybe I don't need to go to such trouble. I heard that you have a reputation for discovering talents, so I will leave it to you to select the officials under me, and you can take them directly if you like them.
OK, I'll help you with your work."
Looking at the man in front of him who was smiling heartily, Li Shushi confirmed again - Fu Nanrong is indeed a very heartwarming man.
PS: Today is the birthday of Prince Yue. This great patriotic hero and national hero cannot be discredited by some mere villains. He will always live in the hearts of the people. The enemy's saying "shake"
"The mountain is easy, but the Yue family's army is difficult" is the highest praise for this great general and his army.
PS2: Today is also the day that Queen Elizabeth I of England passed away. This virgin queen who created the "Golden Age" of Britain can be said to be enough to eclipse most of the rulers in British history. At that time, the United Kingdom could use Dickens in
To sum it up in the famous line from A Tale of Two Cities: "It-is-the-best-of-times. It-is-the-worst-times."
PS3: Today is the day that Wang An passed away. He showed us the miracle of knowledge creation, and also showed us the destruction caused by being stubborn. The most important thing is that he was an unprecedentedly successful Chinese in the United States.
PSV: Today is also the day that the British historian of science and technology and biochemist Joseph Needham passed away - no matter what the reasons and motivations were, his research played a huge role in promoting the world's understanding of China. He also made many people always think that foreign countries
The Chinese people who have a rounder moon have re-recognized their motherland.
PSP: Today is also the birthday of CCTV host Jia Jie. Well, this is a private product. To commemorate the "Sister Xiaolu" who I once loved so much, happy birthday.
