In April of the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, Li Yan, the governor of Yong'an, the protector of the central capital, and the marquis of the township, was promoted to the former general, and at the same time moved from Yong'an in Badong County to Jiangzhou, the seat of Ba County.

Chen Zhi, the former deputy general of Li Yan, took over the defense of Yong'an, and it was still under Li Yan's command.

In the same month, Li Yan returned to Jincheng to face St. Shane.

At the same time, Feng Yong, the chief of Yue, wrote three letters to Jincheng, one to the concubine Amei who stayed in his house, one to Zhang Xingyi in Hanzhong through Jincheng, and the last one to the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

After Zhuge Liang received a letter from Feng Yong, the chief of Yue, he thought about it for a long time, and then summoned Xiang Lang, the chief of the Prime Minister's Mansion, to join the army Jiang Wan, Yang Yi, Zhang Yi and others, and also specially invited the former general Li Yan.

Feng Yong's letter talks about the governance of Vietnam, focusing on the embarrassing situation caused by the uneven distribution of the Vietnamese and Han people.

In this regard, it is recommended that the Yi people be vigorously educated.

This is nothing, parents and officials, isn't it just to educate the people and persuade them to teach agriculture?

However, the key lies in the fact that Feng Yong's education is to use the newly compiled classics of the imperial court as part of the teaching materials for education.

This brings us to a sensitive issue: the right to interpret knowledge.

The emergence of Nanxiang paper gave the imperial court an opportunity to compete with the family for the right to interpret knowledge.

But just re-editing the texts and annotating them is only the first step.

The most important step was to popularize the official annotations of the texts.

This is the most critical and difficult step.

Just like Nanxiang, a place built by Feng Yong himself, at most, it is to teach people the most basic literacy and arithmetic that is not valued by the world, and before the official annotated texts of the imperial court came out, he did not dare to touch these fields at all—of course, there is no need for this for the time being.

In this way, it was still sprayed as a place where demons danced.

As for a place like Shuzhong, where the family monopolizes the right to educate and interpret knowledge, it is not very difficult for the imperial court to promote its own official classics.

After all, hundreds of years of family romance is not in vain, a single sentence "This sentence has been explained like this since ancient times" is enough to make the world feel that the family's explanation is more authoritative and correct.

Therefore, it is a long and difficult process to compete for the right to interpret knowledge from the Maison.

Feng Yong's suggestion made the prime minister of the Han Dynasty see another way.

The phrase that the countryside surrounds the city is not understood by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

But he knew that the places where the Han and Yi lived together were also places where the power of the family was weak, what if the official classics were promoted in these places? Will it have some effect?

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty thought about it for a long time, but he was not sure, so he summoned everyone to come over to discuss.

"Prime Minister, when Emperor Guangwu, the Southern Xiongnu were attached, and the troops were divided into border counties to help the Han garrison the frontier, and the Han border was peaceful, which is a long-term strategy."

"Prime Minister Ping Nanzhong, but does not set up Han officials in the counties of Nanzhong, stationed in Han soldiers, still governed by the Yi people, the imperial court not only does not spend money and grain, but can get the benefits of copper paint cattle and horses, which is also a good policy."

Therefore, Yan thought that Feng Changshi's words were really redundant. If the people of the Yue Yi are willing to submit, they can teach them to farm, and if they are not accustomed to farming, they can still be made to keep their land and follow their old customs. ”

"If it is too oppressive, I am afraid that it will be chaotic again, and Jiao Huang and Gong Lu are examples from the past."

Li Yan is one year older than Zhuge Liang, but because he eats and drinks well, he looks younger than Zhuge Liang.

At this time, he sat in the position of the host and guest, and said slowly.

Li Yan's meaning is very clear, that is, Huairou, just want to kill people and not mess up.

As for indoctrination or something, don't force it.

Emperor Guangwu and other heroes not only let the people of the Southern Xiongnu move south, but even specially divided places for them to live in a centralized manner.

Prime Minister, after you pacified Nanzhong, didn't you still let the wealthy clan and the handsome barbarian king of Nanzhong dominate their old departments?

This Feng Langjun is a little too tossed.

Civilize? Is it so simple to educate? What if there is a rebellion?

If you had said that two years ago, it would have been true.

But today is different from the past, the imperial court has money and grain in its hands, and it can even quietly and covertly touch the sensitive points of the family through woolen cloth and the tickets issued by the Nanxiang Reserve Bureau.

Lao Tzu doesn't have to beg you now, and even the other way around, you have to beg me, why can't I have what you have in your hand?

That's what it means.

Li Yan may have been away from the center of power for too long, or it may be that the Han Dynasty has changed too quickly in recent years, and it is more likely that because of some unspeakable reasons, he directly stated that Feng Langjun had made a big move.

When the prime minister of the Han Dynasty heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he immediately let go, the movement was very slight, and only one person noticed it, and that was Yang Yi.

I only heard Yang Yi speak, "Li Junhou is reasonable, but Danyi has a word. ”

Li Yan didn't even look at Yang Yi.

He has an arrogant temperament, and now his status is only below Zhuge Liang, Yang Yi is only a mere member of the army, and the size of the two is not at the same level, so he doesn't need to pay attention to it at all.

Yang Yi is not big-minded, and when she saw Li Yan's appearance, she suddenly felt resentment in her heart.

He originally wanted to be more aggrieved, but now he said loudly regardless of it, "Confucius deleted poems and books, wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, made easy transmissions, and passed on the arts, why?" Isn't it just to rebuild the weekly rites? ”

"Why do you want to rebuild the weekly rites? It is precisely because of the collapse of the Spring and Autumn Rites that it has become a barbarian land, and etiquette is the fundamental distinction of Hanyi! ”

"If a Han person enters the land, speaks Yi words, and performs Yi salutes, then how can he be regarded as a Han person? When today's chaos has been going on for decades, how many Han people have escaped into the land of barbarians in order to avoid the troubled times, and have become Yi people? ”

"On the contrary, if Yi people enter the Han land, learn Han dialect, and practice Han etiquette, how can they be regarded as Yi people?"

"Feng Junhou accepted the Yue Yi people, wanted them to change their customs, and taught them Han etiquette, this is a great achievement of education, and when it is vigorously implemented, how can it be said that it is a superfluous move?"

As soon as these words came out, even the good old man Xiang Lang looked at Yang Yi in surprise, this guy is really bold!

"Can Marquis Feng compare to Emperor Guangwu? Or can it be compared to the prime minister? ”

Li Yan sneered.

This is a very serious question.

Yang Yi's face suddenly turned red, and her teeth were clenched.

This Li Yan is simply going to pit him to death!

If he answered yes, he would not only offend the prime minister on the spot.

Even Feng Yong, who was far away, learned about today's incident, and he was afraid that he would jump to his feet, and he couldn't wait to rush back to Jincheng directly to strangle him!

More powerful than Emperor Guangwu? Why don't you soar to 90,000 miles?

But if you answer no, then Emperor Guangwu and Prime Minister are mainly Huairou, so Feng Yong doesn't follow the old rules, isn't he just pretending to be smart?

Zhuge Liang coughed, and finally interjected, "Gongyan, what do you think?" ”

It was Jiang Wan who asked.

The relationship between Jiang Wan and Yang Yi is not good, but it is not bad, and they both joined the army in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they were also a little worried when they saw him stubbornly anal Li Yan at this time.

Hearing the Prime Minister's question, he hurriedly spoke, "Back to the Prime Minister, Wan thinks that what Li Junhou said makes sense......

Li Yan smiled with satisfaction, while Yang Yi glared angrily.

"However, Feng Langjun is a person from the mountain gate, and he often acts in surprising ways, cough, if he can really teach the Yi people to learn Chinese and learn Han etiquette as Yang Senjun said, then wouldn't Yue Yan County become the second Zhu Ti County?"

Confucianism flourished in Zhuti County, and the people with the surname were proud of learning Han books and practicing Chinese language.

Li Yan and Yang Yi didn't expect that there would be a turning point in Jiang Wan's later words, so the expressions of the two immediately switched to each other.

If you want to know Zhuge Liang's thoughts, in addition to Ma Jian who went to Hanzhong to be a taishou, the next must be Jiang Wan.

Not to mention anything else, Li Yan persuaded Prime Minister to enter Jiuxi to claim the king, and Jiang Wan was one of the few people who knew about it.

At that time, the prime minister was furious, and since then, Li Yan has been disliked by the prime minister because of his selfishness.

Now that he is promoted to the position of former general, it seems that he has been promoted, but it is not a simple move to be transferred from Yong'an to Jiangzhou.

Yong'an is the place where Li Yan accepted his will, and it is also the place where the first emperor personally handed over the elite soldiers in his hands to him, which is of extraordinary significance.

But Jiangzhou is different.

When the first emperor invaded Eastern Wu, General Zhao was a person who supervised Jiangzhou.

The subtlety of this is beyond the ordinary people's knowledge.

In other words, the prime minister has now begun to beware of Li Yan.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty listened to Jiang Wan's words and lowered his eyes so that no one could see the cold glint flashing in his eyes.

At the same time, I was also a little disappointed in Li Yan in my heart, square, square, I thought that you were just a little too selfish, and you could still endure each other for the country, but I didn't expect you to have reached the point of being so careless about official affairs.

If the imperial court is short of money and food, or is unable to look south, let the Yi people still defend their land and follow their old customs, which can be regarded as a temporary way to keep peace for a while.

But why is the imperial court able to vigorously check the acres of land and people, you really don't know why?

Since you dare to do something to the population and land of the family, why should you be afraid to do it to another lifeline?

As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang is very aware of the current situation in Nanzhong, and even this situation is deliberately indulged by him.

Now that Nanzhong is preparing to open a manor, where will the labor come from?

You can't rush the Han people to Nanzhong, right?

Who wants to go? Who wants to go from the rich land of Shu to the legendary plague miasma?

Therefore, it is naturally the most convenient to find the local Yi people.

As long as the Yi people do not learn the Chinese language, do not follow the Han etiquette, and do not fall under the direct management of the government, then they are still a potential source of labor.

If the families and the powerful want them to become laborers, they just need a reasonable excuse.

But in the eyes of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, it is true that the imperial court needs to weaken the people of Nanzhongyi, but at the same time, it is impossible to make the local power in Nanzhong expand again.

Today's approach is just to better control Nanzhong, and the ultimate goal is to one day let the imperial court directly manage Nanzhong, instead of pretending to be the wealthy clans and the barbarians of Nanzhong.

Nanzhong can only be the Nanzhong of the imperial court, not the Nanzhong of other people.

But it was clear that Li Yantie was determined to oppose Feng Yong's proposal.

I only heard him reprimand Jiang Wan, "Zhuti County has been practicing Confucianism since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and it has been hundreds of years since then. The establishment of counties in Yue also began in the former Han Dynasty, and there have been hundreds of years since then, but now there are still frequent rebellions, how can the two be confused? ”

Li Yan objected to this matter because he was very satisfied with the current situation in Nanzhong, and even wanted it to be maintained forever.

As for whether he helped the family to maintain another lifeline, the knowledge monopoly, or deliberately helped, no one knows.

"Everyone thinks about it reasonably, and what Feng Changshi said in the letter is not clear, and I don't know what his specific plans are, which is really difficult to draw conclusions. Why didn't the prime minister send someone to Vietnam to ask in detail? ”

Xiang Lang, a good old man, saw that the scene was a little too angry, and hurriedly jumped out to mediate.

"What Xiang Changshi said is very true."

Zhang Yi has been watching coldly, and finally said a word at this time.

So the issue was put on hold.

Compared with the letter that made the Prime Minister's Mansion almost quarrel, the things explained in the letter to the concubine Amei are much easier to do.

After reading the letter from the lord, Ah Mei thought about it, and then asked someone to call the housekeeper over: "Uncle Zhao, how many ducks are there in our village now?" ”

"One hundred and twenty-three."

Uncle Zhao, as a housekeeper, is very qualified.

Today's Feng Mansion is not a family that couldn't even afford to raise a hundred chickens before, and there are not only places for raising pigs, but also places for raising ducks and chickens.

After all, there have been a lot of people in the house in the past two years, and the reputation of the lord is relatively big, as long as the lord returns to the house, people come to visit almost every day, and the ingredients for entertainment alone are not a small amount.

"How many are laying eggs?"

"There is no accurate number, most of these ducks lay eggs at night, and they can only be estimated on weekdays, only about seventy."

"Too little." Amei frowned, "If you go out to buy eggs, how much can you buy?" ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult, this year many people have learned the secret recipe of our house, this duck and chicken seedlings and eggs are in demand, and the lord has not left the house before, and many people have come to our house to ask."

Steward Zhao was very fragmented about the lord's ruined behavior, in his opinion, this kind of secret recipe is something that can be passed down from generation to generation, and it is understandable that he was forced to give it to several families at the beginning.

But now, I heard that many rich and noble families in Jincheng have learned, which made Steward Zhao feel distressed for a long time.

"Don't talk about other people, this Guan Mansion can always get some, right?"

Amei frowned and sighed, "The lady has a letter for Guan Junhou, please ask Uncle Zhao to go to Guan Mansion in person." Just sent a message to Guan Junhou, saying that the lord wanted to transport some eggs to Yueyun to see if he could help. ”

When Uncle Zhao heard this, he was trembling, "I heard that Yueyun is nearly a thousand miles away from Jincheng, how much does it have to be bumpy on this road?" ”

There is a way to store duck eggs and eggs in the house, which is to bury the bran bran, as long as you check it twice a month and pick out the bad eggs, most of which can be stored for two to three months without being bad.

So you don't have to worry about stinky on the road, but how far is it from Jincheng to Viethorn? And I heard that there are either mountains or rivers on this road, how can it be so easy to transport?

"That's why we have to charge more, even if half of it is broken, half of it can be kept." Amei sighed again, "Don't be afraid to spend money. ”

"This is just nonsense!"

Guan Xing received the news from Feng Yong, and he had a toothache at the moment, knowing that this kid was rich, but he didn't treat money as money too much if he tossed it like this, right?

Transporting fresh duck eggs from Jincheng to Yue, how capricious is this?

I knew that I would have asked for more dowry in the first place!

just saw that Sanniang also came with a letter, Guan Xing had to comply.

The wayward Feng Tujiao didn't care if the people in Jincheng would have a headache or a distress because of his letter.

At this time, he was standing on the edge of the ridge, stepping on the ridge hard, and even jumping a few times, feeling really strong, so he nodded with satisfaction.

This ridge is much taller and wider than usual, and it is deliberately tamped.

Gaoding has been chaotic for nearly ten years, and it is not just about destroying production, after all, Yi people are also people, and they also need food, and they also need money and food to raise soldiers.

Even the Hu people will sprinkle some millet somewhere to be harvested, not to mention the hundreds of years of Yueyun in the county?

In the Sun Pingyuan around Qiongdu, there is a lot of cultivated land, which originally belonged to the grain production area of Gaoding, although it was abandoned for a year last year, but as long as it is slightly organized, it can be directly cultivated.

So this is also one of the reasons why the leader of the Yi people is willing to cooperate with Feng Yong to open up the wasteland.

Because around Qiongdu, most of them are familiar bureaucrats, or bureaucrats who can farm.

There is no way to plant early rice in Qiongdu this season, but for Feng Yong, who has a lot of manpower on his hands, it is still possible to hurry up and sort out two plots of land for him to experiment.

Feng Yong carefully selected a piece of land and made it renovate according to his wishes.

High ridges were erected around him, and several ditches were dug in the field, each two feet wide and one and a half feet deep.

Then a four-foot-deep one-zhang puddle was dug at the inlet of the paddy field.

From this point of view, a certain Changshi has not deceived Yiren children to help him catch loaches all day and night, at least he has made this strange-looking paddy field.

The seedlings were planted in the paddy fields, and after a few days, they were already standing up straight again and began to turn green.

Feng Yong walked around the rice field and found that there was indeed nothing missing, so he shouted to the people behind him, "Okay, you can put it in." ”8)
