Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1802 The Disadvantages of an Era
In Chang'an City, the lobby of General Hussar's Mansion.

The dull atmosphere was like an invisible heavy stone, and the bones in Wei Duanxinpi's necks seemed to be creaking under the pressure. It was as if they were rusty, and it was difficult even for simple movements such as turning and raising their heads.

Not only that, even some local officials in Chang'an, such as Du Ji and Li Yuan, kept their heads down, not daring to meet Fei Qian's eyes.

On the outskirts of Chang'an last night, bandits attacked a manor. Although You Qi also rushed to the scene after receiving the alarm, the damage had already occurred.Some of the remaining gangsters were killed, while others who left early could not catch up for a while. After interrogation, these gangsters were actually Weinan rangers who were deported and arrested near Chang'an some time ago...

Ever since, Wei Duan and Simpi pleaded guilty together at [-] o'clock in the morning.

The two of them were mainly responsible for this matter, so if something went wrong, they would both plead guilty together.

It's okay, there is no mutual excuse, but according to the intelligence of Wei Duan and Simpi, they should not make such low-level court mistakes.When something goes wrong, the first thing to do is the attitude towards the problem. If even the attitude is not correct and you talk about it, Fei Qian doesn't mind letting these two people see which flowers are the most popular.

In fact, it is not surprising that there was a so-called "ranger" riot last night.These "rangers" are used to the life of big fish and big meat before, and they are used to the days when a hundred gold comes today and a hundred gold is scattered tomorrow. To let them return to normal life, it is really impossible for these people to get used to it. .It's like those who sell their bodies for money, saying that they can become good people after making enough money, how easy is that?
Don't get it wrong, it doesn't just refer to women, but men and women are the same.

After all, the oldest occupations of human beings are killers and prostitutes.

These "rangers" who are used to licking blood and are unwilling to join the army on the battlefield, since they do not want to return to normal life, there is no need to return.

Fei Qian suppressed his anger. To be honest, he didn't have high hopes for these big Han officials, but he didn't expect this problem to be more serious than he originally imagined.

In other words, this is not entirely a problem of the officials of the gentry, but a problem of the entire social structure.

Did Fei Qian give any orders, or repeated orders?
some.

Did Wei Duanxinpi vigorously suppress and arrest them, and did he do his best?
It is basically there.

But this situation is like those no-man's lands in later generations. In those areas, law belongs to law, crime belongs to crime, and human feelings belong to human feelings. They all seem to exist independently and have nothing to do with each other.

In this era, the most serious problem is that the people at the lowest level cannot hear the voice of the court, and it is difficult to get in touch with the changes of the court.Take Huang Yueying's comforting words to Fei Qian yesterday, the ones who got the benefits were just ordinary folks and women near the capital of Chang'an. As for the more remote places, like Hanzhong or even Longxi, the changes were not very big.

After all, there was the Qinglong Temple Discussion this year, and many people spontaneously started the business of the Qinglong Temple Discussion. Naturally, more hired workers were needed, which naturally reduced the number of people who died of freezing due to lack of income and warmth.

Fei Qian has implemented a lot of new policies at present, the most important one and the most directly related to ordinary people's husbands and women, is the new land policy.

However, the juetian system, which has the greatest impact at the moment, is still participating in the Feiqian group. Who else has gained military merits or sacrificed soldiers, their families will understand in the shortest time. What is the "Grand Land System", and those peasants who started from his grandfather's grandfather and then worked on the same field for generations, the biggest thing they understand is whether the tax they have to pay every year is more or less... …

This is the disadvantage of the big man, and it is also the disadvantage of an entire era.

In the first year, because of the "juetian system", the peasants who got benefits were naturally inexplicably excited, and then a large number of civilians who did not join the army and did not have military merits rose up to make trouble, asking why they did not receive land rent and tax relief. The general's eyes are wide open...

In the second year, those newcomers who joined the army and got relief from the newly added "juetian system" were happy, but the first batch of civilian husbands who were exempted began to be unhappy again. They felt that they were obviously earlier. Enjoy the same standards as these new guys?Shouldn't it be better?

In the third year, someone came to ask, why there is no new reduction and when will there be new reduction?
There are people who feel that following General Hussars has a great future and will inevitably get better and better. Naturally, there are also people who think that everything has nothing to do with them, and they only care about whether there are two more rice in their rice bowls.

There are many people who are willing to follow General Hussars, but there are also many people who are numb, selfish, and only care about themselves, even more than the previous part.

Of course these people have feelings for the big man, but they have more feelings for their own family...

The Great Han Dynasty or the future of the country are far away from them, but these trivial things of the folks in the village are very close to them.

So the Han Dynasty, and even later generations, didn't put up a notice on a cross street so that the world would know... Such a situation is only suitable for games.

These people who haven't kept up with the rhythm are more or less inclined to cover up and conceal the three assistant rangers who have existed for a long time. After all, the big man has been implementing the law of "protecting each other" for three or four hundred years. In many remote places, in the minds of the people, it is not a wrong thing for them to cover or even deceive the government officials for these rangers, but a matter of course and right.

They are all from the village, and they all grew up watching their bare buttocks grow up. Could it be that they don't help out when they have something to do, and why don't they help some outsiders?If this is really the case and you confess these people out, what face do you have to say hello to the villagers?

Therefore, Wei Duanxinpi was able to suppress and arrest in Chang'an City, and it was also effective, but once he went outside the city, or in areas farther away, he would lose his strength, which is inevitable...

As for the shortcomings accumulated over the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, there is one thing to say. Even wise men like Pang Tong and Xun You may not have any particularly good ideas. After all, the words "historical limitations" are not simply words. Patchwork of strokes.

"Come on!It is said that Daoist Master Yun is here. 』

Fei Qian broke the silence, glanced at Wei Duan and Simpi who were prostrating in the hall and pleading guilty, "Get up, both of you, and take your seats first..."

"Thank you, my lord. 』

"Thank you Hussar. 』

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other, and then slowly retreated to their seats.

"Daozhang Yun? 』Whether it is Wei Duan or Xin Pi, the same doubt emerged in their hearts. For this kind of thing, instead of asking Xu Huang to send troops to arrest it, and not let Pang Tong investigate the officials, instead of looking for Yun Yi first?
What use can it be?
But Wei Duan and Simpi naturally wouldn't just say that stupidly, but lowered their heads and waited quietly.

Pang Tong on the side wrinkled his black bun face.

Xun You still looked as calm as water.

As for Du Ji, Wang Chang, etc. who were further outside, they were basically silent, waiting for Fei Qian to reveal the answer.

In the experience of future generations, how do you deal with such problems?
Of course, mobilizing the masses to engage the masses...

So how do we mobilize the masses?Not to mention, of course, posting notices on the cross streets like before, and then sending two people to read them out is the end of the matter.Such a move has proved that at most it can only work in towns, but in the wider countryside, it basically cannot be passed on.

Since the use of officials in this aspect is not smooth in the transmission of information, then we have to go another way.

...? ? ...

Wei Duan and Xin Pi took some people and watched from a distance as Yun Yi led a group of Taoist priests busy on the grain drying field at the entrance of the village, and then glanced at each other.

Can this method of Hussar General really work?

At the beginning, the people in the village watched from afar in horror, not daring to come forward to watch.

The village where the accident happened is not very far away from the village. Last night, the flames burst into the sky and the noise was loud, and then the cavalrymen rushed past with iron hoofs. This morning, Cao Bingli, who was full of flesh and blood, came to ask about the situation, causing people to panic ...

Now a group of Taoist priests are here again, what are they going to do?
The Taoist priests under Yun Yi are proficient in arranging them. After all, they have held many religious ceremonies near Chang'an, but they haven't come to the remote villages like they are now.

The people in the village watched in amazement and fear that these Taoist priests were busy. They watched the poles stand upright, and then one piece of magic weapon was put out. The twisted runes on it looked so strange. Mysterious and authoritative, there are also some masked guys in colorful clothes, made of red soap and soap, and holding a big scorpion in their hands. It seems that they are going to dance?
Oh, this is interesting ha...

The villagers looked at Wei Duan, Simpi and others who were standing in the distance, seeing that they didn't seem to want to go forward, so they looked at me and I looked at you, and then their curiosity gradually grew, and they dared to slow down. Slowly began to gather on the drying field.

The Nuo was mainly born in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it was inherited from the witches in China. The main purpose at the beginning was to "drive away the plague". It is said that there are twelve kinds of plagues in the world, such as ghost tiger, drought charm, ominous , death, parasitism, etc. Normally speaking, the whole Nuo process is to use dance to indicate that the plague is rampant, and then the world is suffering, and the gods and beasts are dispatched to expel the plague, and then people and animals are safe.

However, this time the grand Nuo was not dispatched by divine beasts to drive away the plague, but by Taoist priests.

When the Taoist priests began to appear on the grain drying field of "Rampaging the Plague" with an orderly movement and verbal gestures, and then splashed rune water around them, dancing peach arcs and thorn arrows to scatter the monsters representing the plague Running away, waving earth drums and big drums, symbolizing that after the plague has been cleared from the world, and finally throwing red pills and five grains, which represent a good harvest and antidote, to the crowd, the people in the village suddenly erupted in joy, rushing to snatch the Small bags of red pills and grains...

Amidst the sound of drums and trumpets, Yun Yi slowly stood on the simple wooden platform wearing a gossip robe made of gold silk embroidered soap.

What to say?

People need clothes, and Buddha needs gold bricks, er, gold clothes. Although this sentence is tacky, it is also quite reasonable.At least when these villagers saw Yun Yi appearing on the stage, the expressions on their faces seemed to be more respectful than those of Wei Duan Xinpi's subordinates...

Respect and fear are two completely different emotions.

This difference naturally made both Wei Duan and Simpi feel thoughtful...

Yun Yi first promulgated the theory of new Taoism skillfully, and let his Taoist priests perform some supernatural powers. Although it is not necessary to wash hands in an oil pan, runes can spontaneously ignite without fire, and runes can make evil spirits appear. The old routine is still very effective, causing the villagers to take a breath and become more and more awed.

Well, these so-called supernatural means have actually appeared in the days of the three brothers of the Zhang family, and it is not the creation of Yun Yi or Fei Qian.

Then, Yun Yi expressed in a gesture of compassion and compassion. He watched the sky at night and knew that there must be a catastrophe here. , specially ordered him to come here to resolve Yunyun...

"Is there a bloody disaster in this place? ! 』

"Isn't it?What was that yesterday...wasn't it a bloody disaster? 』

"I heard people said that many people died last night. Poor little third of the Wang family at the end of the village, she just died... His mother cried all night. When I passed by, I felt very uncomfortable..."

"My God, I'm sorry..."

"Speaking of which, what Er Gouzi did this time is really outrageous..."

"Shh, be quiet..."

The villagers talked a lot.

Seeing that it was almost done, Yun Yi declared that the plague ghost is extremely cunning and has possessed a human body. He is a human during the day and a ghost at night.He spoke vividly, and even took out a few skulls, femurs, etc., expressing sadly that this is one of his comrades, who was confused by a humanoid plague ghost, and was eaten to death without a trace of his liver and intestines. There are only a few bones left, and they will be used by the evil spirits of the plague, and there will be no peace forever...

Yun Yi spoke so sadly that some of the villagers even burst into tears, which made the villagers in the audience sigh together, and some villagers were filled with righteous indignation and cursed these evil spirits loudly.

Seeing this situation, Simpi couldn't help covering his face with his sleeve, and coughed twice.

Wei Duan also turned his face away...

Others may not be clear, but would Wei Duan and Xin Pi who came with Yun Yi not be clear?The skull and thigh bones in Yun Yi's hands are real, but they are by no means his "poor comrades", but Yun Yi picked them from the weeds on the road...

Although these years have generally stabilized, many people died in the past few years, and there are so many bones in places where no one passes by that you can find them without too much trouble.

Suddenly someone among the villagers wailed: "My poor son!It must have been eaten by Gou Er who was possessed by the evil spirit!God damn it! 』

There was a little commotion among the villagers, and when a space was made, an old woman staggered to the front, threw herself on the ground, kowtowed to Yun Yi and cried, "Please have mercy from the Heavenly Master, I have been possessed by evil spirits if you do not do it." Er Gouzi, give my little Saner peace...』

Wei Duan and Xin Pi suddenly realized, and immediately admired the Hussar General's strategy, waved their hands, and led their men forward.Now that we have reached this point, if the Hussar General has to explain what to do next, then it is really better to find a place to end it by yourself!

Not long after, Ergou's whereabouts were exposed, and together with many remnants of rangers and prodigals hidden in various places, they were strangled to death during the "Elimination of Possessed Evil Ghosts" activity carried out in Guanzhong...
