Chapter 523: King Pei (2)
Since ancient times, farming has been the most important government affairs that those in power need to care about, and there is hardly any talk about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In layman's terms, when everyone has a full stomach, they are almost all safe, and once some people can't eat enough, what will happen...... Hehe...... Looking at the way of the world today, there is no need to go into details.
And the spring ploughing that Pei Shiqing said at this time, in fact, strictly speaking, is not just about spring ploughing, and the things involved are all aspects.
Ditches had to be repaired, and even some roads had to be repaired, so that it was only reasonable that labor would be levied, and in this way, because of the repeated wars, it became a matter of urgency to carefully count the population under his rule and distribute the fields......
It's almost a ripple effect.
After listening to it for a long time, Li Po gradually felt impatient.
It's not that he doesn't pay attention to spring ploughing, you must know that over the years, in order to make everyone have a full stomach, he has worked hard, how can he not know the importance of farming?
Moreover, over the years, he has come to understand very well what farming means to the officials, nobles, and even the gate lords and emperors of the time.
This is one of the most important considerations for officials' political performance, and whether the amount of good land under your rule has increased or decreased in the years since you took office will have a profound impact on an official's career.
And the aristocratic gate valve also values this, to take a hypothetical example, for example, Li Po started in Yunnei, if Yunnei is in chaos at this time, then no matter where you Li Po goes, your reputation will continue to be damaged, which is undoubtedly one of the most powerful influences that your hometown exerts on a family.
And the emperor is not to mention, they who are rich in the world should value this even more, all the emperors who despise this will not be a competent emperor, because cultivation is the foundation of an agricultural empire.
But then again, the matter is urgent, what Li Po thinks is, now that the war is imminent, you come to tell me this? Do you want to distract me? Or do you want my 100,000-strong army to be in the field? Thinking of this, a hat called ill-intentioned can almost be buckled on Pei Shiqing's or Hedong Pei's head.
As soon as Li Po's mood was not good, the corners of his mouth immediately curled, and the smile began to gradually spread on his face.
Wang Qingzheng over there listened with relish, what he lacked was actually the experience and qualifications of governing a place, if it weren't for Li Po by his side, he wouldn't dare to interrupt, otherwise, this is the time for him to humbly ask for advice.
But when he glanced at it, his heart was trembling, and then he didn't squint, and he started to be a bodhisattva in the temple upright, just looking at it.
Li Po's bad problem is firmly remembered by his henchmen......
But the treatment of the Pei lord is different from others, Li Po said hatefully in his heart, this account will be recorded for you first, and we will calculate it clearly when there is a day in the future.
In the final analysis, he is still afraid of the Pei family in Hedong, after all, the Pei family is different from the Jinyang Wang family, when the Wang family asked to surrender, it was a complete tear of face with Li Tang, which can be described as a desperate choice, even so, he took a lot of effort to make the Wang family honest.
What about Pei's ...... In Li Po's eyes, this is a typical sense of the Jindi gate valve that will be in the ascendant, intertwined in the local area, with deep prestige, but also in the side of the deep support, left and right, there is already a bit of prosperity.
Ironically, the world is in chaos like this, but the Pei family in Hedong has the potential to prosper, in fact, just like what he said in his heart, this account is calculated.
Of course, after all, the back account is just the back account, and with the current situation, it is the right choice to continue to envelop Pei's.
The mood gradually calmed down, and when he calmed down, he gradually pondered the taste, Pei Shiqing said a lot of words, in fact, in the final analysis, it was no different from his previous proposition.
Stabilize the foundation first, and then map the world.
And Pei Shiqing has repeatedly expressed his opposition to the strategy of fighting with Li Tang again, or even westward into Chang'an, in his opinion, the Li family is deeply rooted in Chang'an, and Chang'an cannot be lightly fortified, so this battle is not necessary.
In other words, even if you win, you won't get any benefit, and if you lose, you may lose all your efforts.
Such a line of thinking has nothing to do with ill intentions, and it is also very reasonable, but it is very contrary to what Li Po thinks, whether it is the principle of accumulating a small victory in strategy and turning it into a big victory, or the foresight that Li Po will never say, it all determines that Li Tangli is attacking quickly, and he must not be given a chance to breathe.
These are not only the differences between generals and literati, but also mixed with other things, so the result is that no matter how reasonable Pei Shiqing's proposition is, it will not be recognized by Li Po.
He must always maintain military pressure on Li Tang, and no matter whether he wins or loses, he will not change this.
However, there is one thing that he and Pei Shiqing agree on, that is, this spring's battle can only be resolved quickly, and the consequences of delaying spring plowing are indeed more serious, and then there is the instability of the party, which is very annoying.
God seems to have played a joke with everyone, making the people in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty tired, and no one can say anything about the big guys, and it seems that the time is not enough.
Let's talk about it, it's getting late, I haven't drunk much wine, but the dishes have been served.
Li Po personally sent the drunk Pei Shiqing out of the hall, and then left Wang Qing to go back to the room to talk, and he didn't mention it first when he was bored.
And Pei Shiqing, who has added a lot of blockages to Li Po, is not in a wonderful mood.
The two most important things for spring ploughing are manpower and material resources.
Material resources, the gesture given by Pei Shiqing made Pei Shiqing very satisfied, whether it was farm tools or ploughing cattle, they would be sent from the north, and the atmosphere was speechless, of course, this was definitely not the matter of the Jiangjun family, but all the counties south of Jinyang.
And manpower...... It's not too much to ask for at this time.
No matter how dissatisfied Pei Shiqing was, the answer given by that person could only be maintained as best as possible, and Pei Shiqing couldn't say anything on this.
Because he and the man actually understood that now that the population of Jindi had been greatly reduced, most of the people working in the fields were women and women, so there was no way to talk about labor.
In fact, it's just a sentence, and I can't toss it anymore.
And whether you can get enough food after this autumn, in addition to seeing whether everyone is dedicated, in fact, the most important thing is the time.
If there is a slight drought, no one in the southern counties can bear it, so they can only wait for relief from the north.
In fact, what worries Pei Shiqing is that once the grain output decreases again after this autumn, other counties may not have much ...... The Jiangjun where he lives is about to be tribulated.
That's right, he used spring plowing to talk solemnly with Li Po at this time, and the most important reason Li Po couldn't think of, that is, the grain and grass in the north are abundant, but there is a big gap between the Pei family and the Wang family.
Pei Shiqing was worried that the Wang family would be unfavorable to the Pei family at a critical moment.
How did the estrangement come about? The Wang family has gone downhill in recent years, and in addition to not playing a good role in it, Pei has not reached out to help the Wang family at the most dangerous juncture......
Will Wang hold a grudge? Do you still need to ask?
The Wang family and the Pei family live separately in the north and south of the Jin Dynasty, and have always been in contact with relatives, in recent years, you have made a lot of stumbling blocks behind others, and now people have taken the lead, will they come to repay their grievances with virtue? What good do you think?
And the Wang clan branch Wang Qing I saw today is actually a clear proof, this person has been in charge of the transportation of grain and grass in the north for many years, and has won the trust and appreciation of that person.
So, even if the timing wasn't right, he opened his mouth.
Such a "far-sighted plan", no matter how smart Li Po is, if he doesn't put himself in Pei's shoes, he can't think of it.
So, Pei Shiqing could only bear the consequences caused by this, and before he came out, he mentioned it as if he had not intentionally mentioned it.
Recently, I heard the news of the funeral of Renji Pei Gong, and deeply mourned his people, the pillars of the country, who lost their lives at the hands of thieves, how unfortunate...... Well, I heard that the second son of Pei Gong is quite famous and talented, so good, as the lord of the Pei family, how can he bear to be exiled, it is better to recruit him to come forward, and he will be able to show his talents under my command......
What he said almost made Pei Shiqing speechless.
Cherish talents? Maybe? But the most likely thing is to ridicule the descendants of the Pei family for betting everywhere, see, this time it was wrong, right? Not only did Lao Tzu die miserably, but his son also ran to Hebei to become a thief.
Your Pei clan claims to be a well-dressed family, and when it comes to the time of crisis, this is the point?
Whether these are Pei Shiqing's conjectures, or if the person really has this meaning in them, anyway, Pei Shiqing's mood is also extremely low, and the taste of being torn off his face must be uncomfortable.
So, Pei Shiqing walked around and didn't go back to deal with the increasingly cumbersome government affairs in recent days, but went back to his accommodation.
I wanted to lick my wounds silently, and with his cultivation, he would be like no one at dawn the next day.
But then his henchmen came to report that his nephew Pei Xu had arrived in the county town and sent someone to come to meet him later.
This is another piece of Pei Shiqing's heart disease, not to the side, just because he was still not strong enough at the beginning, and he only sent one nephew to Jinyang, if he sent more people over......
What made him even more upset was that Pei Xu was a subordinate in Jinyang, and obviously didn't receive much attention, and when he came back this time, he also said in the previous letter that he was accompanying that brother-in-law to serve in the army.
Yuen Long, the son of the Kansai Yuan family, is the brother-in-law of that person, it is said that the two have been together for many years, and they are like brothers, it is said that no matter the family background, or anything else, they should be deliberately acquainted, and Pei Xu can be by such a person's side to assist, and it is also very suitable.
Can...... Yuen Long, who has just been convicted and deprived of his position, how much weight can be left?
Pei Shiqing held his forehead and sighed silently again......
