The military pay that Fang Chongyong paid to the Doulu Army was actually misappropriation of the reserves needed to implement the "Hebian Law" from Shazhou Prefecture.
This model operates very flexibly, but the reserve fund is the foundation of the foundation, so Fang Yanei's play style has completely blocked his way out.
The "Hebian Law" in the Shazhou area is more of a financial system that transcends the times and is a product of local adaptation to local conditions. It was not invented by Niu Xianke, and it is completely different from the Hebian currently implemented in Guanzhong.
The biggest difference between the Hebian method here in Dunhuang and the Hebian method in Guanzhong is that the local silk production in Dunhuang is very small!
The reason is very simple. Without raw materials, the climate here in Dunhuang cannot grow mulberry trees, let alone raise silkworms.
The local textile industry in Dunhuang is not weak, but the vast majority of its output is linen and a series of by-products related to hemp, such as cooking oil, lamp oil, etc.
rather than silk.
Silk fabrics are basically imported from Guanzhong.
The silk in Guanzhong comes from all over the Tang Dynasty, mainly from Shu and Yangzhou. Dunhuang is the closest place to the Western Regions in the Hexi Corridor. Regardless of the origin of silk products, the best-selling here ranks first.
, no handicraft products can compare with it!
This makes silk the most sought-after local currency, the best currency among good coins!
Of course, Fang Shijun, who knows that Brother Ji is a man of character, will naturally place his hopes on the increasingly corrupt court. I am trying to find ways to actively save myself.
It is related to the imperial military aircraft. I am telling you that it is limited by military law, but it seems that I am right to you. That incident really makes Mou sleepless and sleepless."
Fang Shijun stood up, turned around and left!
People carrying people in sedan chairs are old rules in officialdom.
First, they borrowed a large amount, then sold the silk they got to merchants in the Western Regions to earn the price difference. Finally, they used the grain produced outside the fields and handed it over to the Shirou government office to write off the IOU. This objectively reduced the financial burden.
As soon as night fell that day, Fang Shijun took Fang Laique, Shi Rou, A Duan and others to the small house in Xiliang in the big city.
That Ta Ma is a monster. I will rebel in the future, right?
Fang Shijun used a small part of the principal that was supposed to be used for buying and selling, and was not supposed to be used for "low-interest loans" to make up for Fang Chongyong's military expenditure. It must be said that he is really a low-level person.
timid!
Fang Laique, who had been eating and drinking outside, suddenly became energetic.
In the meditation room of a temple next to the medicinal spring, Doulu exclaimed in a high-pitched voice.
Using the routine of "making something out of nothing" is one thing that puts pressure on us, but the sweet dates of real money are another aspect.
The time for small-scale cooperation and buying is before this year's autumn harvest. There are many people who are willing to cooperate and buy, and the silk and silk left outside the treasury can't cope with it.
"In this case, this subordinate will go to organize things."
I sat back in my seat and sighed:
In such a small background, it is not surprising that Xiliang organized a feast that was not in the style of the Western Regions. During the banquet, various families and the governor Fang complimented each other, and the atmosphere of friendship and hostility exploded.
Yes, it is wrong. During the Kaiyuan period, Tubo did indeed attack Guazhou (Jiuquan City was under the jurisdiction of Guazhou County), which was next to the Zhang family, and they did intend to attack the Zhang family. However, due to a series of strategic mistakes in the previous period, it was not possible.
It must be food, or something that cannot be preserved for a long time because you eat it, but something easy to carry such as gems and gold.
Therefore, the local forces outside have very little autonomy. There are no people from us in any government office.
Zhang Bao once held important positions in Shi Rou's regime, including Tai Tu, Prime Minister, and Zhong Shu Supervisor. He was a core figure in Shi Rou's politics. Yan Zhuang was taken over by Xiao Tang Bing Xue Ren. During that process, Shi Rou and the An family entrenched in Liangzhou
Likewise, it took a little effort.
This cannot answer the question: Do the Tubo people understand the principle of building plank roads openly and secretly visiting Chencang?
Fang Shijun is not like that. He is usually very timid. But when it comes to critical moments, when it is time to deal with things decisively, he cannot regard the court's laws as valid.
If you still stay in the Zhang family by then, you probably know how you will die. If He Bian is successful, Fang Chongyong will run out of food this winter. It will be strange that these Qiu Si people will mutiny by then!
Shirou was the leading family among the small surnames in Dunhuang. At that time, Shirou had a relatively important position in Yanzhuang politics.
Even the followers around you know the Tibetan military laws by heart."
Lending grain to the government is actually tantamount to delay and buying.
So why did you use that to sell the local governor as a favor?
"I'm trying to hide this from you all. I only eat my food as an official. It's really not a trivial matter, and I know what I should say. After all, it's a matter of confidentiality."
Shi Rou was at a loss for words. He hesitated for a long time, and finally lamented: "Xiao Tang belongs to a saint, so of course he belongs to the envoy."
Doulu lamented and asked, "Your Majesty, you should think of another way."
Shi Rouzhen pondered for a moment and said.
In fact, it is top-secret news within the border army. The Tibetans are going to attack the Zhang family in the spring of this year. I am afraid there are not many days left before now!"
Fang Shijun said proudly.
Seeing what Fang Shijun was saying, Zhang Chan hinted in a very explicit way, almost asking local small households to raise grain and grass to make up for the government's shortfall.
Yes, there is no hope for Fang Shijun. Because the court still has to make up for Fang Chongyong's winter clothes and spring clothes, and it is possible that it will always be in arrears. As long as the money here is in place, Fang Shijun will
You will naturally get out of trouble.
Doulu nodded slightly and said.
I shook my head and sighed again, and everyone immediately gathered their eyes, with expressions of "Sure enough," on their faces, waiting for my answer.
You have to be hated by others to force your own people to rebel. Anyway, Tubo's serfdom policy requires people to believe it. There is no general consensus among the Zhang family, and even the Tubo people can tolerate it.
The ghost stuff that goes up there is notorious in the Western Regions.
In other words, Luocheng was once a "free port" that arose due to the prosperity of commerce, and the big city was the political center of Dunhuang! All local small families lived here, intermarrying for generations, and the forces were intertwined. Except for Tubo, which "stressed martial ethics"
Within our own power, we will cooperate with whoever rules Dunhuang.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So, even if you cause a small incident and make the Zhang family's situation manageable. Is this because there is no saint to carry it? In that case,
You have nothing to worry about?"
Hearing those words, Fang Zhijun felt a little overjoyed, but his expression was still animated.
"But those meals are suitable for Shi Rouzhen's taste? Then remove the banquet and replace it with something Shi Rouzhen hates. What do Doulujun think?"
So regardless of whether Xiao Tang was good or bad, Tubo was always better. As long as there is no such principle, you can keep singing the drama in Fang Yanei.
"Go ahead. Remember to go there tonight and get familiar with these people. I didn't have anything to do before, so I just contacted us directly. He'll handle it and I'll talk to you again."
There are only a few people in Tubo, but he keeps talking about 700,000 people in Tibet attacking the Zhang family. Does this mean that everyone else is regarded as a fool?
Fang Shijun can't boast at that time: As the son of Shuanghuahongguan Fang Mode Fangjieshuai of Xiaotang, you have been learning the art of war since you were one year old. Do you know less than him?
"The thing that worries you is the misappropriation of He Bian's principal to pay Fang Chongyong's army, right?
Now Fang Shijun has made it clear that Tubo is going to attack the Zhang family... Who can believe that!
The imperial court may be giving Fang Chongyong military pay, and it is certain that he can get the money back.
This is a place where I have left my master but I have not left my master.
…
Those people were very clever in their calculations, favors were sold, and bad guys did things. Nothing happened before, but the local governor still had bad intentions and made things difficult for us.
It is important whether others believe it or not. The key is to spread such "big news" throughout Zhang's territory to create a situation of panic among people. This will achieve the goal.
Shi Rouzhen patted Fang Laique beside her on the shoulder and said, "Recite a section of the Tubo Army's military law for everyone present."
Zhang Chan, who is good at dancing and eloquent, could not even utter one sentence after hearing those words for a long time.
Now even if it is claimed in Dunhuang that 700,000 Tibetans attacked Shirou, some people are willing to believe it! The small Tibetan army is confronting the Tang army in the Hehuang area."
It was just that Fang Yanei was too old, his father Fang was immoral and not well-known, and he was a native of Dunhuang, so he wanted to make friends with Fang Shijun.
And because of the people, you also exchanged grain for silk.
"Well, let's go. You don't have a dinner party tomorrow, so I'll go with you and meet the local small households."
Xiao Tang took away at least one-tenth of their wealth, and Tubo was... Fang Shijun remembered that when Zhang Yichao revolted, all the local Tubo people in Hexi rebelled against Tibet.
Shi Rouzhen looked at Doulu as if she were a fool and asked.
Fang Shijun banged the table behind him heavily, and Doulu, who was standing beside him, quickly grabbed my sleeves and shook his head with a solemn expression.
"In this case, this person said it.
Doulu suddenly became speechless after hearing those words.
Fang Shijun waved his hand, feeling that Doulu was making a fuss.
Doulu felt that Fang Shijun had fallen into a rage mode since he misappropriated He Bian's principal, and that person had not dealt with the consequences of his actions. As long as it was something that would lead to immediate death, Fang Shijun would not care.
Try it, if it doesn't work, just do it.
"Bad bad bad."
What I am concerned about is another small matter, and I have to tell you.
Of course, behind the governor was the court of the Little Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the local surnames in Dunhuang also tried to manipulate the emperor.
Now that we’ve done everything, it doesn’t matter if it goes a little too far, right? Is there no difference between decapitating someone once and killing them ten times?
"Your father, Fang Jieshuai, is a native of Dunhuang. He has always regarded the Tubo people as a pet peeve. To hide this, at a certain age, my father asked me to learn the fighting methods of the Tibetan people in order to defeat the enemy.
Discussing merit and rewards in advance, there are many people from Xiliang who are serving as officials in the states in the Hexi Corridor, and their power is not something that the Zhang clan governor cannot control.
No respect, no regret, no admiration, only contempt and attention.
"Dou Lujun, you are considered to be well-connected in the Zhang family. How can it be true if there is not even the slightest rumor that Tibet is planning to attack the Zhang family?"
Zhang Chan cursed secretly in his heart, and it was because of Fang Shijun's position as governor that he did not have an attack.
The core of the Zhang family government's maintenance of local military and civil affairs is the Hebian system. All policies are centered around Hebian.
It cannot be said that it was the first time Shi Rouzhen faced such a simple small scene independently.
For example, no one questioned that the main force of the Tibetan army was confronting the Tang army at the Hehuang line, and there was no spare power to attack the Zhang family.
But that's how it seems to people here.
No one outside looked at Fang Shijun's eyes, which could be described as full of mixed emotions.
The governor who could make up for Fang Chongyong's winter clothes and spring clothes at once, even if he was only half a child, was something to be reckoned with.
It's because I haven't lost my mentality yet and am preparing to run away, but it's actually very easy for me to escape.
Fang Shijun patiently gave instructions.
That's not Fang Yanei's thinking.
Every time he was appointed as the governor of the Zhang family in Xiaotang, he had to deal with those people, and Fang Shijun was no exception. When I was appointed as the temporary governor of the Zhang family, no one paid any attention to me. However, a few days before I was "promoted", there was no one here.
So he sent Yan Chao to test it, and found that his sense of smell was extremely sensitive.
"Your Majesty, during the decisive battle between Tubo and Xiao Tang at Xiaofeichuan, the entire country mobilized over 700,000 people, and it is not fair to say that not many people actually participated in the battle.
Will the Tubo people beat Zhang?
The local rent collected by the Zhang family is mediocre, and they can support 1,700 Fang Chongyong.
What Fang Shijun is about to do is very cowardly. It can only be said that he even wants his life.
The head of the Xiliang family of that generation was named Zhang Chen, who was not yet over seventy years old. I saw Fang Shijun eating and drinking at the banquet, only concentrating on chatting with us, so I asked curiously:
"Fang Chongyong doesn't have any of our people, so we just talk about that. Because of your relevant information, these people don't know yet."
"Yes, yes, there is something wrong with his propaganda like that. What I want is momentum. How could Tubo beat Zhang? Even if you think about it, it is possible!"
Zhang Chan was so frightened that he quickly stood up and pulled Shi Rouzhen to comfort her.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "He did that thing quietly and found a few tight-lipped people to do it. If you give him a hundred silks of activity funds, he will have to do it in Dunhuang."
The foreigners tried their best to propagandize, saying that the Tibetan people would attack the Zhang family in the first step and sweep away the foreigners. The people and animals would be kept, and the looted items would be used as military expenses.
In fact, the Zhang family is a local Zhang family. We only cooperated with Xiao Tang when Xiao Tang came. The Hexi Corridor itself was not negotiated by these people at the beginning of the founding of Xiao Tang, and it did not experience small wars.
The silk from Chang'an was all "heavy goods" with low value and relatively high freight. The Zhang family government used the form of "loan" to trade grain with Hu merchants and local merchants to make up for the shortage of grain stocks in the local government.
That half-child with long hair was really talking nonsense, and he was afraid of the wind and flashed his tongue!
The Hebian system serves as the "price regulator" between local silk and grain, eliminating the possibility of hoarding by merchants in the Western Regions.
"If you have nothing to say, Doulujun, you might as well speak up. If you are a local boy in Shirou, you can still say a few words if you have nothing to say."
It's because the news is too shocking, but...it's so nonsense!
Those taxes can even guarantee Shi Rouzhen's daily rations.
Well, to exaggerate, let’s say the Tibetans don’t have 700,000 troops.”
This cannot answer the question: Do the Tubo people just break the rules? Have you ever heard of the art of war of unexpectedly attacking unexpectedly?
Zhu Zi is sufficient and resourceful!"
Of course, those "large loans" were all "low-interest loans" in Shi Rouzhen's eyes.
However, before the agreed time, the borrower must write off the IOU with grain and get back the collateral.
At most, both parties can become familiar with each other.
"That's right. It's just a big thing. If I need your help, I will speak up. But in hindsight, it's completely necessary.
That kind of courage is unparalleled by anyone, let alone a state governor who is replaced every seven years.
That must be the case, and it is possible for us to extend such warm hospitality today.
…
Fang Shijun lowered his voice to scare you because you released a super small satellite.
"Humph, the imperial military planes, you risked their lives for revealing it to them.
If this is possible.
Before those controversies were hyped up, Fang Shijun could not directly tell the local small households of the Zhang family: You local tycoons, they also want the Tibetans to come to the Zhang family and raid their homes, right?
In the small hall, representatives of various local families, such as Shi Rou, Suo family, Song family, Linghu family, Fan family, Yin family and Yan family, were also shocked and speechless.
Zhang Chan said with a hesitant look.
"Jun Doulu, there is no harm in talking about it. You are all people with strict speech, and you will definitely talk nonsense."
The silk in Guanzhong is just silk, but the silk in Dunhuang is comparable to gold. Ordinary people in the local area don't use it for consumption at all, they use it as currency!
Fang Shijunman said seriously. He was thinking about which road would be worse when he ran away in the future. It seemed that the Western Region was also your fault. Do you really want to go to Lingnan?
Dacheng, the customary name of the locals, is opposite Luocheng, where fish and dragons are mixed. No one knows the name of that city at the end, but it has stood in Dunhuang for hundreds of years and has existed here since the Han Dynasty. It is an iron-clad special city.
fact.
Zhang Chan said confidently.
Apart from the food being piled up in the treasury, other than feeding rats and possible mildew, are there any other disadvantages? If we get the Central Plains silk later in Dunhuang, which is totally unsaleable, we will suffer a loss at all!
At that time, Yan Chao, who had never met each other since then, came to the table as an entourage and said to Fang Shijun: "Your Majesty, the Tubo people are in the right place at the right time and there is no one to make peace with them. Why did we choose that time?"
Where’s Gong Shirou?”
You also bought yourself half a year by saying that Shi Rouzhen drank poison to quench her thirst and resorted to the empty city strategy. Without the support from Chang'an, the autumn harvest day in Dunhuang this year would not be the time for me to take my sister to the faraway end of the world.
But when building momentum, you can't keep stacking buffs. The safer you say it, the worse it is, and you can exaggerate it as much as you want.
I am sure that the silk fabrics from Chang'an can be supplied to Shi Rou on time. It seems wrong to take Anaye away so quietly to live anonymously in the Western Regions and rely on his knowledge in his previous life to become a businessman!
Or it can be said that those who know have fear.
In fact, this matter is difficult to deal with. If you still have some surplus grain in the Zhang family, you can't lend it to the government, and you will have to charge interest. When the silk from the court is delivered to the Zhang family, just write off the IOU, and then it will be equal to
Complete the peace and purchase. So you must rest assured, eat the food, eat the food!"
For example, no one questions that the Tubo people are accustomed to invading in autumn and winter. Now that spring is very likely, the Zhang family is still very dangerous.
Zhang Chan laughed and said.
Fang Shijun sneered, waved his hand and said.
Hearing that, Fang Shijun sighed and said: "No, no, delicacies are rare in the world. It's a pity that someone is worried about national affairs and eats too much. Alas..."
"Excuse me, is Xiao Tang my official?"
The merchant first pledges other items of a certain value, which are sometimes grain, oil, linen, or even white thorns and tamarisks cut down in the suburbs for fire. After getting the silk, they sell it. The Zhang family government office is in charge of the sales channel.
, even if it is sold to the Tubo people, we will still control it.
Tonight is the time to test those of us.
Doulu sighed in his heart, what Shi Rouzhen asked me to do just now is really beyond words. He brought Liu Guan's responsible, reckless and wanton style to the extreme.
Hearing those words, Doulu's heart tightened and he raised his voice and said: "There are very few local small households that have lasted longer than Xiao Tang. Those people are not easy to deal with."
It’s just talking about the causes and consequences of others.
"Your Majesty, this matter is extremely serious! He lied about military information and should be executed according to law!"
