Chapter 619: Even if you rob bandits, do you still have any humanity?
Everything went so smoothly, especially with the help of the large and small vehicles that Mi Fang got from Dingtao during this period.
Three thousand people transported all the needed supplies in one go, a total of 20,000 shi of food. Even if the team were doubled, it would still be enough!
Wang Xuan did not stop, took the things and left directly. Even those tenants who had not had time to escape, as long as they stayed at home, no one bothered them. From beginning to end, Wang Xuan explained everything,
Don't kill people if you can help it, there's no need!
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, only the manor was left in ruins. Wang Xuan and his three thousand people disappeared into the sunset.
For more than a month, under Wang Xuan's training, the most outstanding thing about the entire team is their operational efficiency, which is even better than the elites. They hit the road when they say they are on the road, and everything is so orderly.
Early the next morning, when he saw the manor in a mess, the owner Li Tong showed no expression on his face, "How much property and people were lost?"
The manager of the manor said with a pale face: "The master of the house has made atonement. All the food in the warehouse is gone, including 20,000 shi, some other cloth and some salt. However, there is not much loss in personnel. Seven or eight people died and more than 30 people were injured."
Li Tong's face relaxed slightly, "Do you know who did it?"
"Listen to the slogans and look at their clothes, they are Yellow Turban thieves, but..." The manager hesitated a little, looked at Li Tong's face, and finally replied: "However, the Yellow Turban thieves are definitely not that elite, and they feel more elite than our soldiers in Dingtao.
.”
"Brother, we must not spare these guys. If our Li family manor dares to be strong, they are just looking for death!" Li Tong's younger brother shouted sternly.
Li Tong shook his head and said nothing. This kind of thing can only be investigated by them later. I believe that such a large force crossing the border will definitely leave a lot of clues. It will not be difficult to find out.
However, no matter who it is, he is not prepared to pursue it too much. The loss is not big, and the other party does not hurt anyone. He is obviously showing mercy. As long as he knows who did it, whether and how to settle the matter will be settled in the future. When the time comes,
Say it again.
…
After leaving Dingtao, continue along the Sishui River and go straight to Yueju. After leaving Yueju, you will reach Chenliu County.
I don’t know if it’s because the troubled times are approaching, but there are so many bandits and bandits along the way. Of course, the main reason for this is that Wang Xuan took the initiative to knock on the door.
In order to make a name for himself, as well as to gather Qing Xiang and cultivate his troops, Wang Xuan almost scraped the land all the way from Dingtao. The sky was not three feet higher, but as long as the journey was not too far, the bandits and bandits were all given way.
He was scratched.
If you don’t even run away, I will chase you if you dare to run. Anyway, all the bandits targeted by Wang Xuan were captured.
The people nearby were very happy and praised Wang Xuan's name one after another. On the surface, the local aristocratic families showed no sign of any kind. They did not applaud or stop him. They looked on with cold eyes. They didn't know how they reacted secretly.
Anyway, from the words of these bandits who were surrendered by Wang Xuan, he knew that many local aristocratic families had reached some agreements and agreements with them. Otherwise, it would be difficult for these bandits to survive nearby with peace of mind. It is not Mount Tai.
Taihang Mountain
This deed gradually spread further and further as Wang Xuan moved forward, and bandits and bandits were yelled at. They had seen people robbing ordinary people, and they had seen people robbing aristocratic families, but I had never seen bandits robbing mountain bandits!
You are so poor that you have no choice but to fall into the trap of others. Why the hell are you still here to rob me? Do you still have any humanity?
After the princes' fight against Dong ended, the world officially entered into a melee between princes, starting with Cao Cao's surrender of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.
Only then did the princes from all walks of life begin to accept and surrender the traitors. For example, Sun Ce took in the water thief Zhou Tai, and Liu Bei took in Liu Xue and others. Before that, the attitude of the princes towards the traitors was to wipe them out.
Therefore, Wang Xuan's behavior can be regarded as a precedent. Not to mention that other people do not understand, even the bandits themselves feel that this is unreliable. If they were not beaten up and caught, the devil would choose to believe it.
It's just that he is not famous, has no official position, and is not from a noble family, so no one pays attention to him at all.
After passing the grievance sentence, when they arrived near Jiyang, Mi Zhu finally caught up from behind. It was also because Wang Xuan stopped and walked along the way, and it took too much time to surrender the prisoners, that Mi Zhu dared to come up from his hometown of Qu County.
.
Not only were Mi Fang and Mi Zhen happy that Mi Zhu could catch up, but Wang Xuan also welcomed him. In Wang Xuan's view, Mi Zhu's ability was not weak at all, but he just didn't show it in the environment of the late Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and others are indeed the best counselors in the Three Kingdoms, but when it comes to how to prosper their rule and how to enrich one side, even Xun Yu may not be much more proficient than Mi Zhu. After all, Mi Zhu is the one with practical experience.
Without food, there is no stability, without business, there is no wealth. Compared with business, Mi Zhu is a figure in the entire Han Dynasty. Among the five powerful merchants, the only one is not from aristocratic family. The other four are the Zhen family of Jizhou, the Wei family of Hedong, the Wu family of Yizhou, and the Jiangdong family.
The Lu family is one of the largest families in the world.
It's just that the entire Han Dynasty, or the entire ancient feudal society, was extremely unfriendly to merchants. They tried every means to suppress the status of merchants. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce also deliberately placed merchants at the last position. Later,
, and even restricted merchants in places such as imperial examinations and clothing.
As a businessman, if you dare to build bridges and pave roads, dare to be kind to the people, or dare to donate money and materials to the army, you will be severely punished afterwards!
This sounds very unreasonable. The country actually wants businessmen to be treacherous and greedy. If they do good things, they will be severely punished!
Including the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, weren't these ancients not smart enough?
Didn’t you know that businessmen can make the world rich!?
No, if it is said that in the later stages of development, various misunderstandings about merchants occurred, this is possible, but during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the status of merchants was not low.
Whether it is Fan Li, Guan Zhong, Lu Buwei, or Duanmu Ci (Zigong), they are all famous people. The first commercial trade war in history was initiated by Guan Zhong. The two trade wars completely defeated the Chu State.
dominance.
But the reason why the status of merchants suddenly became low and even heavily guarded was because "Tian clan replaced Qi", also known as "Tian Chen usurped Qi".
The ancestors of the Chen family used commercial means to win over people's hearts. Five fights came out and four fights came in. Finally, the Qi State was peacefully transformed, and the descendants of Jiang Taigong were kicked off the throne and replaced by their "Tian Chen family".
This shocking operation made all countries more wary of merchants' behavior of buying people's hearts. In the end, Lu Buwei succeeded in finishing the attack. After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, it began to be wary of merchants. From then on, the wariness became more and more intense. The country needed merchants to circulate goods.
, the aristocratic family needs businessmen to earn wealth, but they are wary of businessmen usurping power when they become big, so they gradually form an unspoken rule of suppressing the status of businessmen.
But Wang Xuan doesn't think this is a problem of merchants. The reason is that the superior himself is incompetent. Moreover, in Wang Xuan's plan, no matter which prince is supported to ascend to the throne, the merchants will need to make great efforts. Naturally, he
Mi Zhu is welcome to join him.
"I have met the prince." Mi Zhu, who had a fair face, gentleness and a short beard, looked at the handsome and restrained Wang Xuan in front of him, and bowed respectfully.
Along the way, Mi Fang's letters never stopped. Mi Zhu knew very well what Wang Xuan had done. On the one hand, he behaved like a bandit and was unscrupulous. On the other hand, he was strict in running the army and prohibited everything.
The perspective of the family is really confusing.
