Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2746 are rich

People should always have some dreams.

Although most of them are salted fish when they say this sentence, once people lose hope, it is still a very sad thing in the final analysis.

Liu Xie's dream, his hope, is to rejuvenate the great man.

Standing on the shoulders of historical giants, those who have a little knowledge of the history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty seem to be able to say that he is hopeless, and that he will be the last emperor of the Han Dynasty when he dies.But for Liu Xie, who is in the big man's situation and has no perspective of God, this dream, this hope, is his obsession.

It is not easy to pick up and put down.

Among the big Han emperors, there are short-lived ones and long-lived ones.Take the Eastern Han Dynasty as an example, the shortest-lived emperor didn't even survive a year, and the emperors in the Eastern Han Dynasty were relatively short-lived. For example, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty reached the age of 70, and the two Hans combined were so unique. one serving.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu was 63 years old, which turned out to be the oldest, followed by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and the rest died early, most of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty passed away at the age of 30 or [-].

Logically speaking, Liu Xie is not bad. Even if he abdicated as the Duke of Shanyang, he did not mourn because of this, but cultivated it himself, and used the medical skills he learned in the palace to work with the empress. To treat diseases for the common people, there is no charge for the herbal medicines dug by oneself, and acupuncture, cupping, and scraping are given to the common people free of charge. Only the medicines purchased by oneself will be charged for the cost.It is said that later generations of Chinese medicine practitioners have the custom of free cupping and acupuncture, and this is where it came from.

Perhaps this is the follow-up development that Liu Xie felt that he needed to be pro-agricultural?

Maybe Liu Xie finally let go of the world when he was in Shanyang, but at this stage, he feels that there is still hope.

Liu Xie wanted to save Kong Rong, not because he thought Kong Rong could play a big role, and he could immediately turn the tide like a mainstay, but he wanted to show an attitude through this incident, and after being firmly controlled by Cao Cao, Liu Xie wanted to save Kong Rong. A gap was torn in the lower court hall.

To put it simply, Liu Xie needs people. Regardless of whether Kong Rong is a big cat or a kitten now, it is a good thing to at least catch some mice. The Shuoshu in the book will be caught one day...

However, this process was not so smooth.

Sometimes Liu Xie is also confused, why is this thing so difficult?
it's actually really easy.

Classes are like water and oil. They can only be fused under certain conditions, and they are stratified most of the time. Everything that can turn water into oil will eventually prove to be pseudoscience.

Liu Xie and the squire are actually mutual help.

What Liu Xie can rely on most, the target interests can be said to be basically the same, on the contrary, it is the ordinary people who bear the heaviest burden outside the political circle, the heads of thousands.

Because only the simple wishes of these ordinary people and Liu Xie really overlap-"Dahan Zhongxing", or to change another word, it is called "clothing, food and clothing".

Liu Xie hopes that the great Han will be unified, that disputes will be eliminated, that there will be no more wars, and no more separatist regimes.

The people also hope the same.

Therefore, in most feudal dynasties, as long as the emperor knew a little bit, he would know that his natural allies were these ordinary people. Unfortunately, most emperors ignored these people and chose to seek skins from tigers in an attempt to make peace with them. A compromise was reached within the landlord class...

Colleagues are enemies!

Although sometimes peers will form alliances to deal with outsiders, but most of the time, these peers disrupt each other, compete with each other, and even use dirty tricks to kill peers.

Therefore, even though Liu Xie and the country gentry could temporarily reach an agreement at some level, it was difficult for them to cooperate in their actions.When Liu Xie rushed forward, the squire didn't keep up, but instead watched. When the squire moved, Liu Xie also watched coldly from the sidelines.

Just like this time, Dong Yu's gossip...

It seems that the same actions have different thoughts.

The Taimiao has now become Liu Xie's tree hole.

In the entire palace, um, maybe the entire big man, Liu Xie couldn't find a second person, a place for him to talk and discuss.

Taimiao is like Liu Xie's last safe haven, the last piece of pure land.

After all, there will be no idlers here. Ordinary people can't come in, and those who can come in generally don't come.

In the Taimiao, green smoke lingered.

Liu Xie showed a tired posture only after he had screened everyone away. He didn't even continue to maintain the so-called majesty of his emperor, but sat by the incense table like an ordinary person, just like he was relying on when he was a child. It's the same as being by my father's side.

Sometimes Liu Xie really wishes to turn back time and go back to when his father was still building, so even if he can’t give his father any advice, he can still listen to his father’s rambling bits and pieces of political understanding, instead of Just playing with wooden knives and cloth armor.

Even his father's understanding of politics may not be so correct.

As a child, he was his father's "tree hole".

It's not because Liu Xie's mouth is so strict, but Liu Xie's mother is dead. Although Queen Mother Dong doesn't have much political means, she still loves her children. Ask Liu Xie every day, "What did your father tell you?" 』

I don't know too much, but it is a happy thing.

Liu Xie smiled wryly a few times.

Now, his father's tablet has become Liu Xie's "tree hole".

"Kong Wenju..." Liu Xie murmured softly, "Father, I'm afraid this Kong Wenju will never be saved...Really, these guys, why can't...ah..."

ε=(ο｀*))) Liu Xie frowned, exhaustion was written all over his face.

Liu Xie originally wanted to use the name of the celebration to gather people together. Of course, if there are too many people, there will be a crowd, and then some people will raise their arms and call out. Liu Xie can use the topic to play something. Make a fuss in the name of amnesty.

Liu Xie was talking brokenly, his voice was very small and soft, just like the gurgling sound of a child in his father's arms.

Liu Xie and Kong Rong don't have much emotional bond, it's just that the enemy of the enemy is probably a friend.For Liu Xie, those who can be used to involve Cao Cao and contend with Cao Cao can basically be regarded as friendly forces.

However, Liu Xie's rescue of Kong Rong was not ideal.

The first is that many people do not support the celebration.

Because this is Cao Chun's victory, rounding up is Cao Cao's victory, and Liu Xie wants to celebrate the victory for Cao Cao, what does this mean?Liu Xie, you big-eyed browbeater also betrayed?

At this time, Liu Xie couldn't say clearly.

After experiencing Dong Cheng's incident, Liu Xie understood one thing. He, the emperor, did not really give orders and someone would obey them...

In other words, the so-called keeping promises only existed when the imperial power was extremely strong, but the current imperial power of the Great Han Dynasty is actually almost paper.After several setbacks, Liu Xie understood that he had to stand on the side of "righteousness" in order to be able to say that he represented the majority of people, and then gradually moved from "representative" to "dominance."

He had to find an opportunity when, and if he didn't use the name of the celebration, how could he break through the confinement of the court and bypass Shangshutai to meet more people?Without seeing those outside the court, how could Liu Xie cultivate another wave of forces that did not belong to Cao Cao?
So Liu Xieming knew that the celebration cost money, so he wanted to do it and insisted on doing it, but it was a pity that these squires in Dahan Shandong didn't think it was necessary.

At the beginning, Liu Xie felt that there were many benefits to rescuing Kong Rong, and he also felt that there must be many people who were dissatisfied with Cao Cao's handling of Kong Rong, so Liu Xie figured that this was a good opportunity.

Liu Xie thought a lot, and his expectations were high, but in practice, he found that there were not many people who really followed him when he raised the flag, and even many people watched from afar, and did not raise the flag at him at all. Gather under the raised banner.

Are those people willing to obey Cao Cao?

Obviously not.

Otherwise, Kong Rong wouldn't have jumped out...

Or it was launched.

But do you really want these people to confront Cao Cao? These people don't have the guts.

In addition to spending money, these squires tightly held their money bags, crying and shouting that they really had nothing left, and then they would invite their friends to the clubhouse in private...

So now, even if Liu Xie "takes the lead", these squires still haven't cooperated as Liu Xie imagined. More people will not easily express their attitudes, and some even openly oppose Liu Xie's holding a celebration , the so-called criticisms of wasting money and wasting money are endless.Anyway, no matter what Liu Xie does, these people will stand up and criticize a few words. It seems that if they don't do this, they won't be able to show their superior attributes.

This made Liu Xie feel very tired.

Liu Xie let out a long sigh.

How wonderful it was when I was a child, but now I really feel the complexity of the world and the indifference of family affection.Waking up every day is like living with a mask on, no matter who it is.

But this kind of life must continue, and Liu Xie can only bite the bullet to adapt, change, learn, grow, and play with political means that he didn't like so much...

Liu Xie said, his voice was very low, faintly visible in the green smoke, he didn't need anyone to hear it, it was just his habit to make a sound, which made him feel that he could think more clearly.

Liu Xie felt that Cao Cao wanted to kill Kong Rong not because Kong Rong had any crimes, but because he was conducting a temptation, a temptation that was close to arrogance, so Liu Xie had to fight back, even if it was a weak resistance , and at least it is better than lying down and enjoying.Otherwise, one day, Cao Cao would still be smiling while tying his trouser belt and saying, look, don’t you enjoy it?Then he yelled to the onlookers, did you see, he did it voluntarily!

On the other hand, Liu Xie wanted to save Kong Rong, not because he wanted to save Kong Rong.

Liu Xie has a certain affection for Kong Rong, but he will not force it.

Rescuing Kong Rong was also Liu Xie's temptation.Liu Xie has been depressed for too long, he needs fresh air...

Those who were watching and booing were also not for the sake of whether Kong Rong was wronged or not.

Politics is not something that most people can play with.

It's like Dong Yu's experience this time...

It seems to be an inexplicably extra record of knowledge, but in fact?Were these things sent to Liu Xie as soon as they arrived in Xu County?

So why did it come at this time?

Liu Xie felt that this was a kind of "compromise", which was Cao Cao's compromise with Liu Xie and the local gentry.

To put it simply, Cao Cao was also "counseled".

This made Liu Xie even more delighted than seeing the contents of Dong Yu's experience records!

This shows that Cao Cao doesn't want to turn the table either.

Not flipping the table means that the people around the table will not change, it's just that there are more and less people.

Dong Yu's letters, these records of knowledge, seem to be equivalent to Cao Cao's side secretly showing Liu Xie that there are many great scholars in the world, not just Kong Rong, so killing one Kong Rong is not the same as killing all of them. Great Confucianism!

Let's see, isn't this Dong Yu also a great Confucian seed?In time, there is hope to become a real great Confucianism, and everyone will not have to fight over Kong Rong alone!

Let's see if Dong Yu's work is better than Kong Rong's, who only stays on the surface and talks aloofly?What Dong Yu lacked was that he didn't have Kong Rong's reputation, but now with these letters and records, isn't this reputation just getting better?
Cao Cao seems to be using this method to express that he is not targeting Confucian students, but those Confucian scholars who do not deserve their names.For those great Confucians who are really capable and considerate for the common people, not only will he not punish them, but he will also praise and support them.In this way, among the crowd who originally opposed the killing of Kong Rong, some people will definitely split out.

Therefore, Cao Cao took out this letter immediately, on the one hand to split, and on the other hand to win over.If you know where the specific gaps in farming in Guanzhong, Shandong are, and you can follow the map to get better harvests, then who can take the lead in piloting and improving, who can specifically improve the gaps and mistakes, who has the final say?For Kong Rong to lose the opportunity of his family to harvest more is worth it or not, there must be someone who will weigh one or two.

Maybe Cao Cao also has some other meanings, but now Liu Xie can only think of so much.

Liu Xie sighed.

Crowd!
Once those people start to measure, Kong Rong's life will be completely over.

But Liu Xie couldn't object to Dong Yu's letter.He couldn't say that everyone didn't want to make up for the gap in agriculture, and didn't need to increase income, and then seized the letters, saying that there was no such person as Dong Yu, and there were no such letters written by Dong Yu...

You can only push the boat with the current, or you know it is a pit, but you have to jump down.

Because "people's livelihood" represents a certain "public opinion"!

As the Son of Heaven, there is no way to escape.

Liu Xie leaned against the side of the incense table, sneered, "Hehe...these guys..."

Liu Xie muttered to himself, then thought of something, sat up straight, frowned and thought for a long time.

He had to change his goal now, from saving Kong Rong to focusing on Dong Yu's agricultural gossip.The direction is in place, but the specific operational measures still need to be carefully weighed.

While thinking about this, Liu Xie shut his mouth tightly and didn't say a word.

Until he seemed to have made up his mind, he got up and saluted the ancestral tablet again, then walked slowly to the gate of the Taimiao, looked up at the sky for a while, and found that the sky was extremely clear, there were no clouds, no matter if it was in the shape of a tiger, Or the shape of a rabbit.

Naturally, he couldn't give Liu Xie any inspiration.

Perhaps this is also a revelation?
Liu Xie thought for a long time before leaving.

……(ˇˇ)@~……

This time, Wang Chang traveled to Xu County on behalf of the hussars to congratulate the emperor.

Leaving Tongguan and passing through Hangu, the group is mighty and mighty, moving forward slowly.

Dong Yuyou wrote the records of Guan Zhongfeng, and Wang Chang will also record some of his experiences in Shandong.

The Heluo area was originally the bustling center of the Han Dynasty, and Luoyang was once a city that the world looked up to, but now, Wang Chang didn't even have the idea of ​​going in to take a look, so he declined the invitation of the Yang family, and Wang Chang ordered to move on.

After passing Heluo and entering the Yingchuan area, I saw many farmers jumping on their loads or pulling carts.The autumn harvest is here, and these farmers have a lot to do.It's just that along the way, Wang Chang saw that most of these farmers were naked, at most wearing a calf-nosed jacket.

For Wang Chang and his party, those Shandong farmers didn't seem to care at all, and no one would be curious. Even if they ran into each other on the road, they would either kneel down on the side of the road on the spot, or quickly hide among the bushes on both sides of the road. .

It's like a beast meets a man...

"Brother Zhong Chuan, don't these Shandong people wear clothes when they work? ’ Wang Chang asked an older person beside him.

Wang He, Wang Zhongchuan.The little-known Mo family, people from Qingzhou, originally went to Chang'an to join Wang Chang, but now they are temporarily under Wang Chang as assistants.

Wang Chang is familiar with the situation in Beidi and Guanzhong, but he is not very clear about some things in Shandong.

Wang He followed Wang Chang, and when he heard the words, he glanced at the farmers, "These farmers probably only have one set of clothes. If they wear them for farm work, they will be worn out in two or three days, and there is no need to repair them..."

Wang Chang cupped his hands, "Brother Zhong Chuan laughed... I don't care about Guanzhong for now, I just saw the Huns working in the North, and they also had fur robes, and this..." Wang Chang had been to the North before as a A small official for a period of time can be regarded as having been at the "basic level".

Wang Chang looked at the farmers and shook his head slightly.

This should already be the core area close to Dahan, but poverty still plagues these grassroots farmers.The Han Dynasty's national policy of emphasizing agriculture and despising business has always been emphasized. Every emperor has expressed that he must pay attention to agriculture and mulberry, but where does this emphasis go?

Does the harvest matter?

"This is autumn. If it's winter..." Wang He glanced at the farmers and sighed slightly, "Many of them go out to work in winter without clothes, and there are not a few people who freeze to death and suffer from frostbite..."

Although it is said that after the autumn harvest, the farmers will be relatively relaxed, but it does not mean that the labor will be eliminated. There are still various repairs and apportionments, designated labor and other matters.

"Aren't the officials paying attention to such things? 』Wang Chang suddenly felt a little unbelievable.

Wang He shook his head.

"Huaxia's barbarians don't follow suit.Now..." Wang Chang sighed and didn't finish.

Along the way, especially after entering the land of Yingchuan, Wang Chang saw that many descendants of Shandong gentry were dressed in splendid clothes and had more valuables and ornaments on their hands than the disciples of Guanzhong. At the beginning, Wang Chang had an illusion, thinking that the people in Shandong are rich, but now it seems that only the children of the gentry are rich. As for the ordinary people...
