Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1079 The old and new rules of the big man

The sweltering summer is coming, it's like adding another three points to the already passionate Pingyang City.Knowing that he was lying on the tree trunk, shouting for heat weakly, but the pedestrians on the road didn't seem to notice it at all, even if the sweat washed away the dust on their faces, they still walked firmly towards Pingyang City.

The news of Emperor Liu Xie's hunting tour in Pingyang gradually spread to all directions following the order of seeking talents, which caused many people to toss and turn. Although there is no movement for the time being, some of the poor families seem to be attracted by a magnet. Gradually came towards Pingyang.

It is like the difference between a large company and a small company in later generations. If a large company wants to launch a project, I am afraid that it will have to go through intensive and intense discussions with the board of directors before it can be voted on and implemented, while a small company only needs the boss to pat his head. Maybe the decision will be made on the same day. We started to replace the machine and change the project.

It is difficult for a big ship to turn around, that is the case.

Summer is also a busy season for merchants, and such busyness will last until late autumn.In winter, even if there are amazing profits, they can’t stop the cold winter. The businessmen basically cut off, and there is usually a lot of rain in spring. In the era of the Han Dynasty, the roads were basically dirt roads. The muddy road is a kind of hell-like torture for anyone.

Therefore, the vast majority of merchants are also concentrated in the two seasons of summer and autumn. During these months, they traffic and trade. They may make profits or lose money, depending on the operating conditions of these months.

In the eastern and western cities of Pingyang, Hu and Han merchants, convoys, helpers, and foot laborers filled almost every gap in the market. All kinds of goods flowed in and were quickly transferred out. I know how much money is rolling here in a day, like boiling water.

In such an era, it seems to be following the old rules, but also adapting to the new rules...

"Convoy ahead! Stop!"

On the main road of the West Market, a group of armored patrols stopped a convoy of merchants.The leading cavalryman, a middle-aged man, pointed to the piles of horse manure marks in the road behind with a finger missing three fingers and said: "Those, were those pulled by the animals in your convoy?"

"Ah? Ah..." The leader of this small business caravan looked back and couldn't help shouting angrily, "Whose family's livestock? Look, whose family's it is?!"

"It's from the old horse's house..."

Soon someone responded.

In fact, this caravan was put together by several merchants. Individual merchants are too fragile. After forming a caravan, the cost of guarding can be evened out, which is relatively safe.

"It's yours as long as it's yours... Don't be naughty, we will continue to patrol the streets and pay the fine..." The leader untied a cloth bag from the horse's back, then took out a small wooden sign from the bag, and looked at it. He looked at the words on the wooden sign, then threw it back into the cloth bag, and took out another piece, "Well, those who leave arrows in the street will be fined [-] yuan... This one is [-] yuan..."

"This... this, ai, ai..." The caravan leader shook his head, but reluctantly took out his money bag, took out a [-]-dollar Jiaozi from it, and handed it to the street patrolling cavalry.

Thanks to the severe damage to the original five baht coin system and the rapid development of commerce and trade, Pingyang and even a large area in Bingbei have to start using Jiaozi issued by Feiqian. Gradually spreading to the surrounding area, as long as Fei Qian does not fail, these Jiaozi will naturally have credibility.

Naturally, the leader of the caravan couldn't pay for this money by himself, so he found the culprit when he turned around and asked him to pay. "You will be fined for shitting! Is there any justice in this! Even in Kyoto, there is no such thing!"

"Hehe..." In front of these foreign businessmen, the merchants who settled in Pingyang inevitably acted a little proudly, "...you are a newcomer at first glance...the sign at the gate of the city is so big that you are blind. Look, who can be blamed? Besides, the streets are so clean, if you pull a pile and he pulls a pile, do you still want to leave?"

"...I thought it was about people, but who knew that it even included livestock?" The little businessman surnamed Ma felt a little bit heartbroken, but still muttered in disbelief, "...who wants to pull the livestock? Can you manage it?"

"If someone pulls it, it will be five hundred dollars! Hehe, Pingyang has a lot of rules, learn to order..." The shopkeeper who watched the bustle said with a smile, and then turned back.

In front of these outsiders, those who came to Pingyang to develop and settle down in the early days always have a trace of pride.Everything in Pingyang City seems to be different from other big Han cities, even a little different than the capital city.

New rules for Binh Duong.

Even Dahan Capital doesn't have rules.

Not to mention the health regulations, even the soldiers patrolling the streets are different. Although they are disabled old soldiers who have retired from the battlefield, they are all proficient in writing and clear about the regulations. Random punishments and mishandling are rare. The scene of the movie has become a unique scenery in Pingyang, and it will be shown from time to time.

Of course, many people still don't understand what these things really mean...

But these are just small episodes. During this period of time in Pingyang, more people are concerned about the emperor and the changes in the court. Although these people can't get in touch with any high-level figures, it doesn't prevent them from spitting Show off their so-called gossip to the people around, as if whoever knows a little less is losing face.

Among them, the most talked about is Fei Qian, General Zhengxi.In the restaurants and teahouses, there was a lot of commotion, and there were seven or eight tables out of ten, all talking about this topic.

"General Zhengxi has made great achievements before, and this time his Majesty is on a hunting tour. Needless to say, he will definitely go further..."

"It's true to say so, but how old is General Zhengxi? If you go up, what do you want those court ministers to do? What's more, if you have meritorious service, it's not easy to seal it. In my opinion, At most, add some fiefdoms..."

"Lao Sanlang, you are here to talk again at this time. How many people are left in the court who can lead the army? If you don't seal Zhengxi, should you still seal those who are not worth it? Besides, let's merge the north area, Now besides General Zhengxi, who else is there? I’ll ask, who else?”

"Hey, when I say you boy, I like to talk back. I'm old, but I understand this in my heart. Don't look at General Zhengxi's glory now, that is also the target of public criticism! I think General Zhengxi is a smart person, and his talents are not limited to this. So, this time, there will definitely not be any more positions..."

For the folks, the reason to pay attention to Feiqian is because Feiqian is already related to everything in Pingyang and even in the north, so it is of course closely related. However, for those in the officialdom, they pay attention to Feiqian because of During this period of time, the relationship with Liu Xie has been shown to be mutually beneficial...

Could Fei Qian be the next Wei Qing?
But is Han Emperor Liuhui the next Han Wudi?
Just like there are rules for the city in the city, the big man has his own rules in the officialdom and politics.

Anyone with insight can see that there are big problems in the political system of the Han Dynasty now, but just like many people in later generations, they know there are problems, complain and complain, and they have to come up with governance. The reform plan is just as bad as it gets.Therefore, it is indeed difficult to get these people of the Han Dynasty to come up with a plan for social reform.

Because these things are intertwined, deeply entangled, and very difficult.

The emperors of the Han Dynasty were not all idiots, and they also knew that the eunuch, Qingliu, and foreign relatives took turns to rule the country. The emperor and Hanling emperor naturally had this wish, and they also made some attempts, but they all failed.

As far as Liu Xie is concerned, it may be another kind of blessing in disguise. According to the current level of Liu Xie's involvement in the three, it is even lighter than any Han emperor.The original relatives of the He family were killed by the eunuchs, and the eunuchs were brutally killed by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. It was basically over, and the Qingliu nobles were destroyed by Dong Zhuo.

The Great Han Dynasty Hall is now in a period when eunuchs, relatives, and Qingliu are all extremely vulnerable.

It's a pity that the imperial power happens to be so weak.

But now, Fei Qian is cultivating a new imperial power intentionally or unintentionally. Of course, this imperial power cannot be established in a day or two.

"Fei Aiqing..." Liu Xie closed the memorial, frowned and said, "...you...why did you name Yuan as a general?"

why?
It's very simple, isn't there an old saying, if you want people to perish, you must first make them crazy, but you can't say that to Liu Xie...

Fei Qian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family are famous all over the world, and they are suitable for this position..."

Liu Xie put down the memorial, frowned and said, "Fei Aiqing, please be honest. Maybe there are some things I don't understand very well, but this table... I think it is definitely not as simple as what Fei Aiqing said..."

Perhaps because he has experienced huge ups and downs in life since he was a child, Liu Xie's mind has matured a lot compared to ordinary people. After seeing Fei Qian's memorial, he faintly noticed something was wrong, but because of the above reasons, he has not yet Analyze those things behind the memorial.

"Your Majesty..." Fei Qian raised his head to look at Liu Xie, and sighed, "...Your Majesty's heart is as pure as a beautiful jade, I really can't bear to let His Majesty be stained with dust..."

Liu Xie was silent for a while, and then sighed: "I understand Fei Aiqing's protective heart, but the world is turbid, how can I be contaminated... I love Qing, but it's okay..."

"Your Majesty is wise." Fei Qian nodded, cupped his hands helplessly, and said, "This is a plan for Your Majesty..."

Liu Xie opened his eyes wide, and then couldn't help pointing at himself with his finger...

Fei Qian nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the two sons of the Yuan family are divided into Hebei and Henan, and most of the Shandong gentry are friends with the Yuan family. The government orders cannot be passed. The people in the place only know the Yuan family and do not know the big man. It will inevitably cause trouble... and At this time, Your Majesty, as the saying goes, even though the whip is as long as the belly of a horse..."

Liu Xie nodded silently.

Fei Qian went on to say: "Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonglu have always been at odds. Now Yuan Benchu ​​is granted the title of Great General, and Yuan Gonglu is granted the title of Chariot General. Because the imperial court has no seal for the time being, Yuan Benchu ​​is ordered to transfer the stamp of the chariot to Yuan Gonglu... ...Does Your Majesty think Yuan Benchu ​​will obey?"

Anyway, this reason is very smooth, Yuan Shao became a general, then of course the original radish seal carved privately is useless, so it is normal to give it to Yuan Shu, but, according to the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, even if it is true, Yuan Shao suddenly thinks about it Or if you can't think about it, if you really give Yuan Shu the seal of General Chariot, Yuan Shu may not be happy to follow.

Liu Xie thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, then shook his head and said, "If brotherhood is deep, it will be fine, but...hehe..."

"In this way, there will inevitably be a rift between the Yuan family..." Fei Qian continued, "...In addition, Gongsun Bogui was named General Anbei, Cao Mengde was named General Pingdong, Liu Jingsheng was named General Pingnan, and Sun Bofu was named General Pingnan. General of Guangwu... These four are all ambitious people, if they win the position of general, they will definitely not be willing to be subordinated to others, so the second son of the Yuan family will lose their wings..."

"Gongsun Bogui, Cao Mengde, Liu Jingsheng, I know a thing or two, but this Sun Bofu... Who is he?" Liu Xie really had no impression of Sun Ce at all.

"Sun Bofu is the son of Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, the general who defeated the captives. Now he is the vanguard general of Yuan Gonglu..." Fei Qian replied.

Liu Xie nodded, oh, thoughtful.

In fact, the court did not completely fail to do this matter.Some time ago, Chong Shao was still in love with Yang Biao. Originally, he wanted Yang Biao to go to Shandong, but Yang Biao couldn't get rid of his illness, so in desperation, he asked Ma Rixun to appease Shandong.However, Ma Rixun didn't know whether it was Chong Shao's instruction or his own idea. When he arrived at Yuan Shu's territory, he summoned Sun Ce in Shouchun, and made an appearance on the spot, expressing the appointment of Sun Ce as the captain of Huaiyi...

Although Colonel Huaiyi is not a serious general, he is still a famous captain after all, and since then he has broken away from those low-level tastes, and his style is naturally different.However, perhaps because such a move was not approved by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was very angry, and even took the act of depriving Ma Rizun of the envoy's scepter, and Ma Rizun died of illness.

So Fei Qian's strategy is actually just a copy of what Ma Rizun did at that time, but this time the scope is wider and the effect is stronger.

"What your majesty gave is nothing more than a title," Fei Qian said, "and your majesty has a long life, and when the two Yuans fight and Shandong is lost, it can be decided at one stroke, and the world will be peaceful..."

Now what Liu Xie has in his hands is nothing but these false names, and taking a step back, even if Liu Xie doesn't throw out these false names, will these people obediently reappear within the range they have?

If Eryuan was willing to return to the imperial court, he should have come back when Dong Zhuo died, but now he is living in Jizhou and Yuzhou, even the most stupid people can understand the thoughts, and Liu Xie naturally understands...

So for Liu Xie, Fei Qian's memorial is indeed only good, and there is no harm.

Liu Xie pondered, then suddenly raised his head to look at Fei Qian, and said, "Fei Aiqing's strategy is very good...but...Fei Aiqing...what can you ask for?"
