Feng Yong hadn't figured it out yet, and Li Yi sighed again, "This Liu Yan can be regarded as the only remaining old minister, I didn't expect to fall into such a situation now." ”

It stands to reason that as long as Liu Yan is a veteran minister like Liu Yan, as long as he does not commit any taboos or is defeated in a certain political struggle, the imperial court still has to maintain a minimum of respect for them after all.

This is also something that Li Yi doesn't understand, and his brother doesn't seem to deliberately target it, but it is really strange that Liu Yan can be restrained.

Feng Yong smiled slightly when he heard this, "It's just his own fault." If you can't keep up with the trend of the times, you will eventually be eliminated by the times. ”

"Just like those Shuzhong families who want to raise the price of food this year, they still look at the problem with their previous eyes and are unwilling to make changes, so they can only be treated as leeks."

Capital is greedy.

When Feng Yong opened the first workshop, he had already released the monster of capital.

Although this monster is extremely weak and deformed compared to later generations, its impact is still very huge for the big man who only has one state.

This was still when Feng Yong was trying to tighten the rope as much as possible.

Otherwise, maybe just the cloth ticket can give the Han another baptism of inflation after Liu Bei's Zhibaiqian incident.

However, there is a difference between the cloth ticket and the straight 100 money, because it has a certain foundation as a support.

This foundation is the economic expansion recovery and development of the Han Dynasty.

Improvement of farming tools and methods, the growth of grain, the north-south exchange of labor (ahem), new production materials (wool), new production relations (the employees of the workshops had nothing and had to sell their labor to survive), etc.

In Feng Yong's view, although the nouveau riche interest groups still belong to the production relations of feudal society, they are not even the germ of capitalism.

But there is also a certain difference from the production relations of the old family, which completely tied the peasants to the land.

So there must be a conflict between the two.

Those who hanged themselves and jumped into the river and the city wall were just victims of the conflict, small characters, not worth mentioning.

Now this new type of production relationship is about to usher in explosive development again, and the Shuzhong family, whether passive or active, has to accept this production relationship when participating in the production of the workshop.

This kind of production relationship was put in the era of great unification when the family was in power, and it was almost 100% of the time when the family of the cultivator and heirloom joined forces to strangle it.

But today's Han is different, the time and place are favorable, and they are all on Feng Yong's side.

What's more, because of the small country and the widowhood of the Han Dynasty, the new type of production relations typified by Nanxiang has kidnapped the Han very easily.

While strangling it, it will not only greatly damage the vitality of the Great Han, but even cause great turmoil.

Therefore, whoever dares to strangle it will be strangled to death by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty first.

Liu Yan was actually dragged forward because he couldn't keep up with this change and still held on to his old ideas, which made him look embarrassed.

"But since the prime minister is willing to help Liu Yan, I think there must be some reason, this Liu Liang can be regarded as having suffered enough, and tell the brothers in the meeting, don't deliberately embarrass Liu Liang in the future."

While Feng Yong said this, he kept muttering in his heart, what did Zhuge Old Demon want to do?

As for Liu Liang, if Li Yi hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about this person.

"Brother, do you want to see that Liu Yan?"

Li Yi asked again.

"See what he does? This bit of bullshit is also worth me to meet him? Feng Yong said disdainfully, "With this time, I might as well build one more waterwheel for the benefit of the people." ”

"That's what my brother said."

While Li Yu agreed, he was secretly speechless.

With my brother's current identity and status, the focus of his vision is indeed different from before.

He had just flashed the thought when he heard a sudden commotion in the distance.

Feng Yong first carefully covered the bowl where he drank water with a cloth, and then stood up and looked at it with a curse, "This group of Diao people! ”

Li Yi was a little confused, so he stood up.

I saw two groups of people arguing about something in the distance, and many of them were still waving farm tools in their hands.

"Brother, this is ......"

"Grab the water." Feng Yong's face was ugly, "The water pumped out of Weishui is something that some people want to swallow alone." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw two groups of people start to push and shove, and some people even threatened each other with farm tools.

When Li Yi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "I'm afraid that I have to find the villager to mediate quickly for such a thing." ”

"Fellow?" Feng Yong sneered, "I'm afraid that the people from my hometown are all there." ”

The grain in the field is the root of life, in the past, there was no water in the canal, everyone relied on their own picking, and how much they could pick was their own business.

But in times of drought, water comes from the canals, and it is inevitable to grab water.

Folks? Don't farm at home?

I'm afraid that I will plant more than anyone else.

Seeing that the two groups of people were about to fight, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound again, and at some point, a group of cavalry rushed out from the other direction.

Li Yi's face changed, "Hu people! Brother, let's go! ”

Feng Yong waved his hand, "No hurry." ”

The Hu cavalry rushed straight towards the two gangs, screaming unintelligible nonsense.

The two groups of people who were about to grab water saw the Hu people rushing over, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly fled.

How can two legs run more than four legs?

Some ran slowly, were whipped a few times by Hu Ren, and were whipped to the point that their skin was broken, crying for their fathers and mothers.

As soon as all those people fled in all directions, the Hu people roared and rode away on their own horses.

Li Yi stared blankly at everything that happened in front of him, "This ...... This Hu man ......"

"I made them do that." Feng Yong sat down again, his face was quite helpless, "There is a big drought in Longyou, and the problem of water grabbing is getting more and more serious. ”

"But Longyou is a newly settled place, and the Han has not had time to sort it out, some of the big clans in this place are relying on their power, some are deliberately embarrassed by the Han, and some are trying to grab all the water to their homes......"

"Anyway, for various reasons, this water grabbing happens every day. You don't care, if you really want to get angry, there will be casualties. You have to take care of it, the big man just took over Longyou, and the eyes of the place are dark, how to take care of it? ”

"So I recruited a group of Hu people, as long as I knew where there was a water grabber, I would send them directly, and the pioneers would disperse."

Li Yi understood as soon as he heard it, his face was first crying and laughing, and then he was a little worried, "Longyou Xinding, the Han needs to appease the place, brother is like this, isn't it true?" What if the time comes to cause dissatisfaction? ”

"What's the truth?" Feng Yong laughed, a sly smile on his face, "They are unlucky, what does it have to do with me when they encounter the Hu people who are looting everywhere?" ”

"Do they dare to be dissatisfied? I'm more dissatisfied than they are! Feng Yong said, and scolded angrily, "It is said that the new official has three fires when he takes office." I am afraid that some people in Longyou also want to take advantage of the opportunity of the great drought to demonstrate against us. ”

Since ancient times, this kind of local villager brawl has been a stubborn disease that is difficult to govern.

In addition, there is another great drought, who doesn't want to put more water in their fields?

And I'm afraid that many big clans are also testing the bottom line of the big Han, so there are a lot of vicious incidents of water grabbing.

Anyway, the law doesn't blame the public!

According to their ideas, Dahan has just taken over Longyou, isn't it the time when they are needed the most?

It is a good time to take the opportunity to show their muscles to the big hans in order to gain a greater say in the future local governance.

At the same time, in this kind of drought, grab more water by the way, so that your family's grain harvest will not fail.

Kill two birds with one stone.

It's just that the spread of information in this era is too slow, and they may have heard of the title of Feng Langjun and ruthless Xiaowenhe, but they don't know much about it.

So the Longyou family tasted the sour taste of the Shuzhong family for the first time.

Feng Yong directly recruited a group of Hu people as black gloves, and specially hid in the dark to play black hands.

Once someone is found to dare to grab water, they don't distinguish between what is right and what is wrong, and going up to split their heads and cover their faces is a horsewhip.

Run after smoking, it's really exciting!

Just as those local clans thought in their hearts, if you have the ability, you will arrest everyone.

Feng Tujiao also thought so in his heart: If you have the ability, you can chase after four legs with two legs and arrest them all?

Of course, it's not that no one has cried to complain, but Zhao Dudu said: At present, the war in Longyou has just been settled, and it is normal for Hu people to take the opportunity to make trouble.

If you want a large army to go out and exterminate the Hu people, you have to have food, right?

Why don't you guys get some food out there?

What the? You say it was deliberately instigated? Don't talk nonsense, what about the evidence? If you don't have evidence to talk nonsense like this, you will be held legally responsible! Rumors confuse the public to understand?

After listening to what Feng Yong said, Li Yi almost squirted out a mouthful of water, leaning forward and backwards with laughter, and could only give a thumbs up.

"Brother, your trick is amazing!"

The Hu people took the opportunity to make trouble, and the people who like to use horsewhips to snatch water, what does it matter to me? I didn't instruct it!

"It's just a small means, and it can't be put on the table." Feng Yong didn't think there was anything to boast about, "It's all this kind of bullshit anyway......"

Li Yi twitched cheekily and coughed, "Since my brother thinks that these things are not worth mentioning, then the younger brother has something and wants to ask my brother." ”

"What's the matter?" Feng Yong looked at Li Yi strangely, "Between you and me, what else can't be said?" ”

Li Yi lowered his voice and asked, "Xinhou (Li Qiu) moved to the Han Middle and Long History this time, doesn't my brother feel that it is a little too fast?" ”

When Feng Yong heard this, he looked at Li Yi thoughtfully, "What do you think is the problem here?" ”

Li Yi looked around, and then said, "If Xinhou is transferred to a remote county as the chief of history, it will be nothing. But this is Hanzhong County, one of the most important counties in Dahan. ”

"It's not that the younger brother belittles Xinhou, but Xinhou's qualifications are indeed too shallow."

Feng Yong nodded and sighed, "According to my thoughts, it should be that in the past six months, Nanxiang's actions have stimulated the prime minister." ”

A series of personnel transfers after Zhuge Old Demon returned to Hanzhong, not to mention others, even Feng Yongdu was a little confused.

Just take Li Yan's transfer as an example, let Li Yan handle the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion as the protector of the central capital, and I don't know if he will give Li Yan one last chance to reform himself, or plan to knock him to death with a stuffy stick?

There is also Xu Ci to be a great Changqiu Cheng, the reason is that he is a man of faith, yes, yes, he is indeed a man of faith, but he is virtuous...... It's hard to put into words.

What's more, he is not the only one who believes in learning, so why should he be promoted alone?

I always feel like there's some shady deal here.

As for Li Qiu's transfer, Feng Yong can guess a rough idea.

After all, in the first half of the year, Nanxiang's reputation was in the mouth of the Shuzhong family, which was further deteriorated.

The most representative is Li Mu, I heard that some people have publicly scolded her for being like a snake and scorpion, and she is a perfect match for that ruthless Feng Langjun!

Zhuge Old Demon transferred Li Qiu away, in fact, to further strengthen the infiltration of Nanxiang.

Because the county governor of Nanxiang is Luo Meng, and the county lieutenant is Jiang Bin, both of whom are from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Therefore, although it seems that Li Qiuqian has been promoted too high, there is actually an element of compensation in it.

Li Yi obviously thought of this, but he was a little unwilling, "Brother, Nanxiang is our foundation. ”

Li Yi's worries are also the worries of the Xinghan Society.

Prime minister...... The prime minister can't rob everyone's inheritance, right?

On weekdays, everyone looks at the head of the elder brother, but doesn't it mean that they can support everyone at a critical time? So Li Yi took this opportunity to come to his brother.

"You guys, you just think too much!" Feng Yong shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just that Xinhou was transferred, isn't the position of county commander still our person?" Don't worry, Nango won't change easily. ”

It seems that after the victory of the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition, the power has reached the point where some people feel that the grass and trees are all soldiers.

Seeing that Li Yi's face was still a little hesitant, Feng Yong had to further reveal the news, "Xiang Changshi has already agreed to give an inscription to Nanxiang Academy." ”

Xiang Lang is already sixty-two, and he is considered a highly respected person in the Han Dynasty, and this time he worked tirelessly to follow the Northern Expedition of the army and coordinate the future affairs for the Northern Expedition.

His name was not on the list of personnel transfers this time, and according to Feng Yong's estimate, it was impossible to say that nine times out of ten he would let the Son of Heaven personally worship the secretary of state after he went back and give him an honorary title.

After all, sixty-two years old is really old in this era.

Such a person can inscribe for Nanxiang School, which represents the direction of the wind.

Of course, if someone took the grace of saving Ma Tan as a picture, Xiang Lang would never admit it.

When Li Yi heard this, his face was overjoyed.

Feng Yong didn't wait for him to speak, and continued to release a major news, "This year, the captain of the Qiang Guard will be in charge of all matters in Qiang, and thirty percent of the wool collected will be handed over to the imperial court, and the remaining seventy percent can be handled by himself." ”

Li Yi couldn't bear the news, stood up suddenly, and with a "bang", the bowl in his hand was unstable and fell directly to the ground.

"Seven...... Seventy percent? Li Yi's whole body trembled, "Will it be the same every year in the future?" ”

"Think beautifully!" Feng Yong laughed and pointed at Li Yi, "Wenxuan, it's a gaffe!" ”

Li Yi realized that his body had been wet with water, he smiled embarrassedly at the moment, wiped it casually, and after sitting down again, he stretched down and wanted to grab the bowl, but found that his hands were still shaking and he couldn't pick it up at all.

So he simply didn't take it, directly stretched his neck, looked directly at Feng Yong, and asked in disbelief, "This is, Cheng...... The Prime Minister's decision? ”

Feng Yong nodded, "Everyone has made a lot of efforts this year, so the prime minister asked us to eat more than 20%, and from next year, we will split it in half with the imperial court." ”

"Fifty percent is enough!" Li Yi got a definite answer, and immediately said excitedly, "Everyone thinks that even if it is divided into three percent, it will be enough to eat!" How is my brother going to set this price? ”

"The wool that the prime minister asked Captain Huqiang to distribute independently, which is used as military funds, so I will distribute the share according to everyone's merits and sell them to you at a uniform price."

"As for how you sell it and who you sell it to, I don't care. It's okay if you lose yourself, but the share that Captain Huqiang deserves can't be less than a copper coin. ”

Feng Yong said half-jokingly.

"Prime Minister...... I really have nothing to say to my brother! ”

When Li Yi heard this, his face began to turn red, which was a sign that he couldn't control his emotions.

"What's wrong with such a thing? If you really want to say a loss, that is, if you make less money, you will lose it! ”

Speaking of the back, he was muttering to himself, making it difficult to hear what he was saying.

If the prime minister treats his brother like this, what is Xinghan still afraid of?

No wonder my brother is not in a hurry at all!

"Wenxuan, you have a wide range of connections, and when the time comes, this news will be passed on to those who have workshop places in Shuzhong. Also, the looms in this workshop, and how to train weavers, etc., I guess we will have to help when the time comes. ”

Help?

Li Yi looked at Feng Yong, and suddenly he was a spirit again, "Yes, help!" ”

This time the Northern Expedition really made a lot of money, but I don't know if Xinghan will be able to eat it all?

Li Yi is a little scared now, feeling that after the Northern Expedition this time, his brother's identity and status made him a little uncomfortable.
