As the younger generation of the Li family in Longxi, Li Jian has a good demeanor and behaves very politely: "Jian has seen the prince. ”

Feng Yong bowed his head, "Li Langjun, please take a seat." ”

Li Jian gathered the hem of his clothes, and then sat down on the chair upright.

"I don't like to kneel and sit, this house is full of such tables and chairs, but I don't mean to despise Li Langjun, and I hope Li Langjun won't be surprised."

Seeing that he was sitting upright, his hands naturally hanging down and putting them on his laps, it didn't look like the first chair at all, Feng Yong deliberately explained again.

"The prince is too worried, even among the small people, there are many such tables and chairs. Especially the villain, greedy for convenience, if not necessary, they use these tables and chairs on weekdays. ”

Li Jian smiled slightly, her body did not move, turned her face, and replied with a warm but polite smile.

Be personable.

However, his words made Feng Yong slightly curious, "In the Li Langjun clan, they are also used to using such tables and chairs?" ”

"Back to the prince, among the villains, someone has personally been to Hanzhong two years ago and has seen such tables and chairs. Besides, I heard that in Shuzhong and Hanzhong today, chairs are popular, and few people kneel and sit. ”

"There are also many families in Longyou who have learned from the past, and the villains are naturally no exception. This kind of sitting posture is convenient and dignified, but it is not rude. ”

Hu bed was introduced to China in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, for example, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was "good Hu clothes, Hu tents, Hu beds, and Hu sits".

Leading the way for a generation.

The original Hu bed refers to Maza.

Hu bed is the most popular in the army, the reason is very simple, convenient, and it is also comfortable to sit on, at least much more comfortable than kneeling.

When he marched into Guanzhong and fought with Ma Chao in Weinan, Cao Cao just sat by the river with Ma Zha to watch the scenery and refused to move his buttocks.

Later, if he hadn't been pulled up and carried on the boat by Shengsheng, Ma Chao would probably have rewritten history.

Of course, formal and solemn occasions are still kneeling.

The chair is just a little higher than the Maza, and with the backrest added to the back, it is more comfortable to sit on than to sit on the Maza.

Since the maza can be popular, the chair can be even more popular.

A nation that can take the initiative to absorb the strengths of others for its own use is the attitude that a nation with strong self-confidence should have.

Dahan's self-confidence has always been very inflated.

At this time, I saw Li Mu walking in and curtsiding at Feng Yong: "I've seen the male monarch." ”

Feng Yong nodded, and then said to the two people below: "This is a concubine of a certain person, who has a good reputation in Nanxiang, and outsiders often admire the lady. ”

Li Jian was still a little strange, how to come in such a rare beauty.

Unexpectedly, it was actually a person from the inner courtyard of the prince, so he lowered his eyes immediately, not daring to face it, so as not to be rude.

When I heard the last sentence, I knew that this woman was actually the Nanxiang Mu lady who even the Longyou family often heard of.

At that moment, he couldn't care about the rudeness, and raised his head again.

"This is the grandson of Longxi who joined the army."

Li Mu looked at Gongsun Zheng, with a look of contemplation in his eyes, and said, "The concubine seems to have seen Gongsun join the army. ”

Gongsun Zheng's face was shocked, and he hurriedly replied: "I went to Nanxiang with a caravan back then, and I was personally summoned by Mu Niangzi. Mu Niangzi also asked a certain about Longxi. ”

As he said this, he was horrified.

This Mu Niangzi is very good, so you can still remember him.

Li Mu nodded: "Concubine remembered, Gongsun joined the army with the Liang family's caravan, right?" I remember that at that time, the concubine met with the steward of the caravan, and Gongsun joined the army. ”

"Mu Niangzi has a good memory."

Gongsun Zheng said convincingly.

Li Mu inadvertently showed his hand, and even the nominal man in his family was shocked.

I saw that she didn't have any pride on her face, but said humbly: "Because Gongsun joined the army from Longxi, the concubine just remembered it a little." ”

Because there is a Li family in Longxi?

Feng Yong thought in his heart, watched the two of them finish speaking, and continued to introduce: "As for this, it is the grandson of the Li family in Longxi, Li Langjun. ”

Saying that, he looked at Li Jian, "Mu Niang is in charge of the Nanxiang Workshop, and she should be in charge of the wool matter." In the future, if the Li family in Longxi has any problems in this regard, just look for her. ”

When Li Jian heard this, how could he not understand the meaning of Feng Junhou's words?

This is obviously a promise to yourself!

Nanxiang Mu Niangzi, although he has never seen it, but he heard that the clan used to be able to get wool from Nanxiang, or because this Mu Niangzi is the Li family in Shuzhong.

The Li family in Longxi and the Li family in Shuzhong are originally from the same source, and at this time, Feng Junhou specially called her in to meet him, isn't it just to let the two families get closer?

As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly stood up: "Jane has seen Mrs. Mu. ”

Li Mu leaned sideways and gave in slightly.

Then Miaomu raised up and looked at Feng Yong with gratitude in his eyes.

Feng Yong nodded slightly to her: "Let's go down first." ”

After Li Mu went out, Feng Yong looked at Li Jian: "I was ordered by the prime minister to take the position of captain of Qiang, and to preside over all matters of Qiang Hu in Liangzhou." ”

"Now that the Cao thief in Liangzhou has not been extinguished, the Qiang chaos in Longxi has risen again, I want to calm the chaos, but I don't know the situation of Qianghu in Longxi."

"Listen to Boyan, Li Langjun can solve my doubts, I don't know how to teach me?"

Li Jian replied: "The prince has a question, how dare Jian hide his secrets?" It's just that I don't know how much the prince knows about Liangzhou Qianghu? ”

"Li Langjun only didn't know anything about me, so I just started from the beginning."

Li Jian nodded in agreement, and then began to explain: "If you want to talk about the Qiang people in Liangzhou, you have to start with Emperor Yan. ”

"Emperor Yan was born in Jiang Shui, so he took Jiang as his surname, so Jiang Xing is one of the surnames of Longyou. Liangzhou Qianghu, the earliest is Xiqiang, from Sanmiao, which is another branch of the surname Jiang. ”

"In the early years, the Xiqiang people were mainly nomadic, following the migration of water and grass, and there was no fixed residence. When Emperor Gaozu established the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou first had Wusun Hu, Yueshi Hu, and then the Xiongnu. ”

"The hus are mixed, which is why today's Qianghu is formed. Until the time of Emperor Xiaowu of the former Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were broken and a large number of Han people migrated to enrich the border areas. ”

"In the past hundreds of years, the Han and Qiang Hu have lived together, and the Liangzhou Qiang Hu has been influenced by our Han people, and most of them are half-cultivated and half-pastoral."

"However, its customs are still very different from those of our Han Chinese, whose clans are not fixed, and they often use their patronymic and maternal surnames as tribal titles."

"Intra-clan marriage ignores human ethics and etiquette, the father dies, and the wife is the stepmother; When a brother dies, he takes his wife. Therefore, there were no widowers or widows in the tribe, and the people of the tribe multiplied very quickly. ”

"The large tribes can reach more than 100,000 people, and the small tribes can only reach more than 1,000 people. The strong are respected, and the weak are dependent on the strong, plundering and invading each other, and dominating each other with violence. ”

"Death in battle is regarded as auspicious, and death from illness is considered unlucky, so they dare to charge into battle, and are accustomed to endure cold and hardship. Even women do not hide from the wind and snow when they give birth. ”

"It is precisely because the Qiang people are so fierce that over the past few hundred years, the Han Dynasty has repeatedly rebelled, even if there is Duan Cheng who is called 'God Killing' by Qiang Hu, it cannot make him no longer rebel."

Speaking of this, Li Jian let out a long sigh, "The last Liangzhou Qiang Chaos lasted for more than 30 years. At that time, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to kill Song Jian, who occupied Caohan. ”

"At the same time, they also slaughtered countless Qianghu in that area, but I didn't expect that it had only been more than ten years, and they had resurgence again."

When Feng Yong heard this, he asked, "What does Li Langjun mean is that those Qianghu came from Caohan?" ”

Li Jian nodded: "That's right." This time, the Qiang Hu rebel army in Longxi first came from Heguan and Caohan, the westernmost part of Longxi. ”

"That is the place where Song Jian occupied the king. They first plundered the area around Di Dao, and later many other places were joined by Qianghu. ”

"As the momentum grew, they pushed the largest clan, Zhong Qiangqu Shuai, as the leader, formed an alliance and besieged Di Dao."

"The main tribes involved are Ginseng Wolf Qiang, Li Niu, Baima Qiang, Da Fat Yi Chongqiang, Yueshi Hu and so on."

"Now they even raise the slogan of the king of Heshou Ping Han, which has the meaning of learning from Song Jian's seizure of the western part of Longxi."

When Feng Yong heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.

An enemy with a clear slogan and goal often represents trouble.

"Junhou, if Di Dao is broken, then Longxi Qiang Hu will definitely become a big problem, and please send troops as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Di Dao."

Feng Yong listened to Li Jian's words and nodded, "Li Langjun, please rest assured, I came to Shouyang this time for the sake of Qianghu in Longxi, how can I sit back and watch Qianghu as a disaster?" ”

He pondered for a while, and then said, "It's just that in the past few months, I have led the army to inspect the east side of Longyou, and I have also found that Qianghu is indeed not afraid of death. ”

"Their custom of treating war death as auspicious is a headache."

The Qiang Chaos in Hanyang County is indeed not very good in combat effectiveness, but it is because the weapons are too backward, and there is no unified command, so they were easily broken one by one.

But they are indeed as Li Jian said, they are not afraid of death on the battlefield.

That alone is tough enough.

"Although Qianghu is not afraid of dying in battle, he is not without weaknesses."

When Li Jian heard Feng Yong's words, he was afraid that he would hesitate, so he hurriedly said, "Qiang Hu is loose by nature, and although he often forms alliances, he never lasts long. ”

"It is precisely because they are impatient that many times, when they can't attack for a long time, they will break up without a fight."

When Feng Yong heard this, he thought for a while, "If I send troops to Di Dao, what advice does Li Langjun have?" ”

Li Jian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Didao Qianghu, most of them come from the area of Caohan and Heguan, and their tribal roots are all there. ”

"If the prince can cross the Taoshui, go around to the rear, and attack the families of his tribesmen, then the Qianghu rebels will definitely return to the army to rescue them. At that time, the prince and the marquis will ambush halfway, and they will definitely be able to defeat it in one fell swoop. ”

Hey? It's a good way to do it.

Feng Yong thought for a moment and said with some hesitation, "It's just that I'm not familiar with Longxi, let alone I want to enter the most remote places in Longxi, Caohan and Heguan." ”

"Prince, but please don't worry. The villain family is also considered to have a thin foundation in Longxi. If the prince does not give up, the villain is willing to lead the way in person. ”

Li Jian came this time, he was prepared, and he volunteered at the moment.

"Oh? If that's the case, that's the best thing to be! ”

Feng Yong had a smile on his face.

In the past, Feng Yong always thought that the Hu people in Liangzhou were also like the Hu people in the northern desert, who did not practice farming.

Later, after understanding, I learned that most of the Hu people in Liangzhou were half-cultivated and half-pasted.

As for farming, you don't need to be taught at all, you can get started directly.

Compared to those students in Nanzhong who can't even use cattle farming, this is much easier to use.

The big boss of Dahan Labor Company is wondering, should the price of labor also be raised?

In the past two years, due to the rise of the pig industry and the continuous proliferation of breeding technology, Feng Yong's worst concern finally happened.

Swine fever, chicken fever, etc. start to occur from time to time.

Especially during the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty this year, the price of grain and meat began to rise, and the farmers who were fascinated by money secretly increased the breeding density.

Thus began a widespread plague of poultry and livestock.

Even the farms in Nanxiang have been found on a small scale, but fortunately, Li Mu strictly abides by the rules he has set and kills them decisively and simply.

There were some death row inmates in the camps, and they were fortunate to have improved their food.

As a result, the price of pork, which has become a common meat in the past two years, has nearly doubled.

The price of pork has risen, shouldn't the price of labor be mentioned?

Longyou, Liangzhou, and even Guanzhong are sparsely populated, and it is the time when a lot of labor is needed to reclaim the wasteland!

Feng Junhou thought about it, rubbing his thumb and index finger unconsciously.

At the same time, there was an indescribable smile on his face: "This, Li Langjun, what about Liangzhou?" If I want to calm Liangzhou, what advice do you have? ”

It's just a Longxi, the appetite is too small, Liangzhou is a vast world!

"Back to the monarch, if you want to calm Liangzhou, there are two people who need to pay attention."

"Who?"

"One is Hao Zhao, the general of Pingqiang, and the other is Xu Miao, the assassin of Liangzhou."

Of course Feng Yong knew Hao Zhao.

This man is a first-class defender of the city, and he is the first person in recorded history to use rockets.

In the original history, the old demon Zhuge was burned to the ground, but now, the old demon Zhuge did not burn, but he burned the old man Wei like thunder.

As for field combat capabilities, Feng Yong is not able to draw conclusions for the time being.

After all, even if it was led by Sima Yi, in front of the Tiger Infantry Army who was placed in the Eight Formations by Zhuge Old Demon, he would only have to eat deflated.

"Xu Miao, does Li Langjun know about this person?"

Feng Yong asked.

Li Jian nodded: "I have heard a little." If the prince wants to pacify Liangzhou, the best time is next year. The longer you delay, the more effort you have. ”

"Why?"

When Feng Yong heard this, he became serious.

"Don't hide it from the prince. Xu Miao is a Liangzhou assassin who just arrived at the beginning of this year. As soon as he came to Liangzhou, he dug a canal and recruited displaced people to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land. ”

"In Wuwei and Jiuquan rebuilt the salt pond, this year's drought in Liangzhou is short of food, Xu Miao is using the salt produced in Wuwei and Jiuquan, which has been exchanged for a lot of food, in order to calm people's hearts."

Coupled with the fairness of his people, in just one year, he has convinced many Qianghu tribes. If the time goes by, the more Xu Miao will win the hearts of the people in Liangzhou. ”

"It just so happened that this year, the Han Dynasty calmed Longyou, Liangzhou shook, three shocks a day, and there was a major drought, and people's hearts were floating. If the Han can take advantage of this opportunity to move westward, it will be twice the result with half the effort. ”

Feng Yongjie praised: "This sincere and good word is also! ”

Thinking of the Qiang Chaos in Liangzhou that plagued the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, and then thinking about the current Ji Han, Feng Yong said with some emotion, "If Liangzhou is not peaceful, it will be difficult to go east to Guanzhong with peace of mind." ”

"And Pingliang Prefecture needs to appease Qianghu. Pingliang Prefecture is easy, Dingliang Prefecture is difficult! ”

Even after Xiahou Yuan pacified Song Jian, although there was no major Qiang rebellion, the rebellion in Liangzhou Zhongdi never stopped.

At the beginning of last year, I heard that there was a rebellion in Xiping County, which was later put down by Hao Zhao.

After the Han-Wei War in Longyou this year, the Qianghu Rebellion in Longxi broke out again.

Everyone understands the principle of pacifying after quelling the turmoil, but how can it be so easy to do?

If Qiang Hu really wanted to be so appeased, why did he force the Eastern Han Dynasty court to almost go crazy, almost to the point of giving up the entire Liangzhou?

This requires a long-term, stable, and effective policy.

At the same time, every person in charge of Liangzhou must not only be capable, but also continue to implement this policy unswervingly.

In ancient times, this was a difficult thing to do.

In the era when information transmission was extremely slow, the central court had no way to monitor the local area at all times, and could only rely on local officials to govern on their own, which was quite a lot of autonomy.

Otherwise, how could a county order be called Bailihou?

What's more, the highest governor of a state is assassinated or the state pastor?

The most important thing is that the ancient scholars were all ambitious—whether it was for the benefit of the people or for their own personal gain.

You think your policy is good, and I think my way is smart.

Xiao Guicao left a good name, and it was the good policies that could be continued in the hands of his successor, so he was praised.

Even the prime minister of the central court is like this, let alone the local officials?

Therefore, if we want to sustain a good policy at the local level, we used to rely on the discipline of local officials.

Since a certain turtle has entered history to make trouble, there is one more method: interest groups and the binding of interests.

If Nanzhong is an attempt, then the more difficult is the perfection.

As for Longyou and Liangzhou, they have reached the stage of mature operation.

The magnates who have the greed of capital and hold power in their hands are simply rampant and uncontrollable.

Whoever dares to stand in front of them, then be prepared to be hit in the head by the iron fist of the feudal empire.
