Chapter 140
After about half an hour's effort, a person dressed as a soldier ran to Xu Hui's side not far away, and said something to Ah Yuan who stopped him. When Ayuan, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" pavilion, heard it, his face was happy, and he walked towards Xu Hui.
Although Xu Hui and Su Can were discussing the next step, they also noticed the situation here, seeing Ah Yuan's expression, they both thought of the same thing, Rao was with their concentration, and they couldn't help but be short of breath for half a minute, and even forgot all about the issues they had just discussed, only to hear Ah Yuan's slightly excited voice ringing in his ears: "General Hui, when Qin Jiu sent people to clean up the battlefield, he found that a person was dressed in armor, and all around him were elite people. It's just that because the person's body was smashed to pieces by the boulder, only the deformed armor remained, and there was no way to identify it, and Qin Jiu couldn't identify the identity of the other party, so he could only guess that it was probably the Dou He of the Taiyuan Dou clan. ”
"The people of the Taiyuan Dou clan love to be vassals and elegant, showing luxury, even if it is armor, they will definitely wear expensive jade ornaments, a mere heart protection glass, and will also be inlaid with many beautiful jade pearls." Even if he affirmed eighty percent in his heart, Xu Hui was much calmer than A Yuan and others, and at this time, he would inevitably be much calmer than others.
When Xu Heng and Cui Lin got married, Dou Kai came to watch the ceremony, Xu Hui had quietly observed this future enemy, and naturally knew the other party's style - that was the guy who could casually give the insignificant singer Maiko pearl last time, and his generosity was extraordinary.
As the head of the family, Dou Kai not only did not bring the whole family to a good place, but also took the lead in making a bad start, causing the whole family to learn and behave, and they were proud of luxury and ashamed of simplicity. The Shangdang Xu family put on a grand show to celebrate Xu Heng's marriage, which has never been once in decades, not only made Cui Lin, who was extravagant by nature, feel that he had lost face, but also made the people around him sneer. Xu Hui was not angry in her heart, but secretly wrote down this matter, thinking that there must be a place that could be used in the future, so at this time, she said very neatly: "Look carefully on the side, and even in the armor, you will definitely be able to find the jade fragments are slag." If there is something on his body inlaid with ivory and gems from the Western Regions, even if it is smashed by a boulder, he can see the traces, and he will naturally be able to identify the identity of the other party. ”
The difference between the scholars and the scholars is like the abyss, the slaves with the face, such as the stewards and deacons who can rely on the power of their master Xuanhe, regardless of the laws of the dynasty, wear silk and satin, but dare not openly wear expensive gems and treasures on their bodies, go out to swagger through the market, can wear a medium jade, and wear a little gold jewelry is considered a very high status. Therefore, if you can find a guy with luxury goods next to you, even if he is smashed, the identity of the family is also proper.
In fact, there is no need for Xu Hui to order this, everyone saw the exquisite armor and guessed that the person must be the general of the Taiyuan Dou clan, how can there be a reason not to bring it out? Even if the corpse is completely unformed, which makes people have nightmares at a glance, it does not affect their high nature at all, and they all work extremely hard, but because Xu Hui got the order just now, even if he found something and secretly hid it in his sleeve, most of them were spit out at this time.
Looking at the small things neatly stacked on the table, cleaned of bloodstains, and bits and pieces, Xu Hui and Su Can took one of them and recognized: "The color is fair, the texture is delicate, like cream and fat...... Looking at its color, it should be Khotanese jade, and it is the top grade in Khotanese jade. ”
Xu Hui has seen more of this kind of luxury than Su Can, and is naturally more familiar with it than him, so she put down the ruby fragment in her hand like pigeon's blood, picked up the heart guard that was finely made, but no longer shaped, and looked at it, Fang put it down, and said in a relaxed tone, but with some depression: "Just a few things in front of us, in terms of workmanship, are priceless, not to mention their own value." I heard that Dou Kai built a private garden, which is not half a point weaker than the royal garden, carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent to the extreme, and the master of Taiyuan Dou, even if it is not as good as Dou Kai, all of them have a daily eclipse of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and they also spend money like flowing water...... It's really hard to imagine how they can maintain their fighting power while maintaining a luxurious life. ”
It is not surprising that Xu Hui has this emotion, after all, in the past few years, she has really seen the luxury of her sister-in-law Cui Lin, and has had many conflicts with her for this, and has been scolded for being poor and sour many times. Even if he knows that his various actions are for the sake of the future, but seeing that others can enjoy themselves, he has to live a life that is excellent in the eyes of the Han clan and very poor in the eyes of the Shi clan. This carelessness is just the work of human nature, a little red-eyed and depressed.
"The general knows, why bother asking?" Su Can shook the feather fan lightly and said disapprehantly, "In addition to heavy taxes and exploitation of the people, what kind of method can they quickly accumulate so much money?" I heard that the caravans passing through Taiyuan had to pay 30% of the goods and assets to Dou Kai as 'buying expenses'. If there is any great treasure exposed, the entire convoy, no matter who is in the background, as long as it is not the pastor of a state, will not survive. ”
"Just the seventy or even eighty percent of the land tax, as well as the messy rent and adjustment tax, are enough to force the people to not survive. Or non-Dou Kai is harsh, strictly controlling the population, once someone dares to run, they will be killed on the spot, and the people of Taiyuan County will be short-lived to say anything short. ”
Where will these short three adults run, Su Can needless to say, Xu Hui knows it. Not only that, but they also know that the situation in Hongnong, Hanoi and other counties is not much better, and although the situation in Jizhou is much better, the "popularity" accumulated by the Shangdang Xu clan for ten years is something that no one else can catch up, which also invisibly reduces the difficulty for them to conquer the city and appease the people.
Xu Hui doesn't think that people in the world are stupid, what they can think of, others can, even if the other party can't do it like them, but they can destroy the situation they have created. Because of this, Xu Hui said with some worry: "Dou He is also a character, but he died here, I am afraid that in this way, many Linjun families who are watching will ......" Speaking of this, Xu Hui was silent for a long time, and Fang laughed self-deprecatingly, "Look at me, look forward and backward, and think about these things." Since you can't avoid any of these things, how can you be so timid? ”
Seeing that Xu Hui was so conscious, Su Can was naturally relieved, so he said: "The way to use troops should be based on the right attack and do righteous things; Tricks and tricks, or surprising strategies to win, can only be used as an aid, or as a last resort, and you must not pin your hopes on this, after all, the world is changing rapidly, and no one can control it. The Taiyuan Dou clan has been planning for a long time, but in the end, it has not fallen short? If they could use the manpower and material resources to build the garden, in the name of opening up the mines, secretly survey the places in the mountains that are easy to open and disguise, and build a passage that can be passed for the time being, they would not have lost everything by surprise, as they are today. ”
When Xu Hui heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Su's suggestion is so atmospheric, but if it weren't for the sudden death of the saint and the chaos of the kings in the land south of the Yangtze River, it wouldn't have been so out of control." Dou Kaizong plotted for me to join the party, if it didn't coincide with this God-given opportunity, even if he exhausted his life, gathered the strength of three generations of people, and opened up a channel, it would only be a waste of manpower and material resources. ”
Hearing her mention Jiangnan, Su Can paused for a moment, and then asked with some hesitation: "By the way, Jiangnan, no, how is the situation in Jiankang?" ”
Xu Hui knew who he wanted to ask, so he said: "In the land of Jiankang, the atmosphere is really weird, the new emperor doesn't know what considerations, he is very enthusiastic about Shen Fu, he ordered someone to take the family tree, and Shen Fu continued his generation, openly called him the emperor's uncle, and also affectionately called Shen Fu's children younger brothers and sisters, and also gave Shen Fu's sons and daughters knighthoods, and his daughter generously gave the county lord position, these specifications are still higher than the treatment of the county kings, and the princes of the country in the past are no different. It can be said that Shen Fu is already a veritable king of Qingzhou, and he is nothing worse except for a real throne. ”
"Xindi...... is also a little smart, but not smart enough, he learned his Lao Tzu's tricks, but in the end he is not as good as the first emperor. Su Can smiled contemptuously and wrote lightly, "He thought that he could win over Shen Fu and use the power of the princes to balance Guo Sheng, but he didn't know how to cut off his own way." ”
Xu Hui agreed with Su Can's argument very much, and naturally he was a little worried: "Although Shen Fu is a descendant of the royal family, he is a down-and-out descendant who doesn't know how many generations, and his bloodline is pure. The new emperor announced to the world and justified Shen Fu's name, so that even if Shen Fu did not have an objection, he would have to rebel. ”
Both of them know that no matter how famous the princes are, they can't match the status of "orthodoxy" in the hearts of many people, just like in the late Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, the king of the Han Dynasty, was also a royal family member who was more estranged by blood, but he got the loyalty of many people and almost won the world. If it weren't for the blessing of the gods, Queen Guo was amazingly resourceful, and every time she stepped on the key, it was impossible to say whether the world would be Han or Qi.
Before he was famous, Shen Fu might still protect the royal family, but he was so difficult that he had no ambition, and he didn't want to play the old things of the Han King in the past? After correcting his name, the one who wants the new emperor to die the most must not be Guo Sheng, but Shen Fu, the newly baked "imperial uncle".
The new emperor's methods are the same as the previous emperor, and he has many attainments in the art of checks and balances, but this brain is far from being as good as the first emperor. (To be continued.) )
