Guanshan grassland.

"Let's talk about it, what were you going to do?"

Li Ru ignored Jia Xu's cuteness, and still said plainly.

Jia Xu's slender eyes flickered up and down a few times, and when he saw that there was no effect as he imagined, he lazily let go of his hand, walked back to the seat, sat down with his ass, spread out, and ignored him and didn't speak.

Li Ru suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you." Li Ru knew in his heart that Jia Xu was worried that he was depressed when he saw his aging appearance, so he deliberately behaved witty in order to relieve himself.

Jia Xu came to some energy at this time, waved his hand, sat up a little straighter, and said, "Hey! Isn't that what that sounds like...... Isn't it just one Dong Zhongying, one Dong Zhongying died, and ...... Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it......"

Jia Xu looked at Li Ru's face and changed a little, and quickly changed the topic and said, "...... Not to mention the rest, I don't really understand one thing...... Why do you say that this Pingyang can be like a magnet and attract countless gold? ”

"Are you sure General Zhengxi didn't make any special moves?" Li Ru thought for a moment and asked.

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "If there is, I wouldn't be so confused...... There are some utensils for production and sale, but they must not have much to do with it...... The only thing that has changed is the commercial tax ...... One out of ten, although it is not a heavy tax, although it may be slightly better than the general one, but compared to the land tax that is being implemented at the same time as the levy of the west, which has reduced a lot of land taxes, is this commercial tax...... There's nothing new about it......"

"Hmm...... Junjue Tian Fu ......" Li Ru nodded and said, "It looks a little like the way of the old Qin people, but it's not like ...... After all, Qin's law is strict...... "The laws of the pre-Qin Dynasty simply brought the Virgo Legalists to the extreme, and it is simply an excellent template for the military management of the government in later generations.

"Shang Shang migrated wood, and Fang believed in the people...... And this expedition to the west, it seems that nothing has been done? Jia Xu scratched his head a little and said, "Does it count as some food?" I can't figure it out......"

"The country is poor and fighting, poison is lost to the enemy, there are no six lice, and it will be strong. The country is rich without war, and it is born in secret, and there are six lice, and it will be weak. Li Ru muttered softly, and then said, "...... The expedition to the west is very different from that of Shanggong...... In the land of Pingyang, the Hu people looked around, and the people were thin, but the expedition to the west was able to create something out of nothing, and it was also ......"

Shang Ying was one of the most important reformers in the pre-Qin period, and it can be said that without Shang Ying, the Qin Dynasty would never have been able to go to the stage of unification. One of the most important concepts of Shang Yang is to "prevent six lice".

Shang Ying's reform of "ten years of practice, Qin people are happy, the road is not forgotten, there are no thieves in the mountains, and the family is sufficient", which seems to have a good effect, but the actual situation is not so. At that time, the common people of the Qin Dynasty were subjected to a very large proportion of exploitation, and they were always struggling to survive on the line, and if they wanted to improve their family status, they could only join the army and exchange the enemy's head.

Because Shang Ying believes that "the people are weak and the country is strong, and the country is strong and the people are weak." Therefore, the state affairs of the Tao are in the weak people. "According to the logic of Shang Ying, if the people are poor, they will have the motivation to seek wealth; When you are rich, you will be "lewd", and after you are lewd, the country will have "lice", and it will not be strong. Therefore, the state must find a way to "justify" the wealth of the people when they become rich, so that they can fall back into poverty.

In this way, the people's motivation to seek wealth will be reactivated, they are tired of survival, have no energy to seek wisdom, and the country will no longer have "lice".

However, Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, did not use the deprivation of the wealth of the people to become rich and strong, like Shang Ying, and even seemed to encourage the prosperity of the people, which can be seen from the system of military merit and field endowment.

Of course, if there is a military merit that can be reduced, then the family's surplus wealth will definitely increase, and at the same time, Fei Qian did not formulate various large and small laws like the pre-Qin, and came to dig pits for the people all the time.

"The loss of the country in the first Qin was a harsh punishment, and the loss of the Han Dynasty was a ...... of indiscriminate use," Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "Now it seems that under the rule of Pingyang, the general of Zhengxi, he is both punished and rewarded, and this is a balanced technique...... Zhengxi studied under Cai Zhonglang and Pang Degong, and now he is Xingxue Palace, advocating Confucianism, Nahuang Lao, and a lawyer...... I don't know where to go in the future, so I stay in Pingyang to wait for the ......"

Li Ru nodded, was silent for a while, and said leisurely: "If you want to drag your tail in Tuzhong, you are it, why are you pulling Yu?" ”

Jia Xu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It's better to be ...... than the public."

Li Ru snorted, and said: "In this way, when you come out of the carving yin, I am afraid that you have already made up your mind, no matter whether you win or lose, you will come to stir up a certain purity......

Jia Xu laughed twice, and did not answer this question directly, but said: "Senior brother's talent is ten times that of a certain person, and it is a pity that he does not reach the world." ”

Li Ru glanced at Jia Xu, and looked indifferent to Jia Xu's flattery.

Jia Xu continued: "Senior brother's learning, governing the government and reorganizing the army, managing finances and materials, all kinds of things, how can one or two wise disciples inherit it in its entirety? And this place is remote, how much good material is difficult to find, even a certain and Pingyang, Taoshan School Palace on the side, it is also difficult...... Well? Senior brother, what Fang just said has already been a disciple of the lineage, isn't it a mistake? ”

Jia Xu squinted, and his eyes flashed.

Jia Xu himself is near the Pingyang School Palace, and he has seen a lot of young talents back and forth, but he has not found a suitable candidate, and of course, there is also a relationship that Jia Xu's own eyes are too high. And Li Ru here, in the grassland, there are mostly rough people, how can he immediately find a so-called "smart and clever" heir?

What's more, he is more or less the identity of "uncle", since he came, this so-called "heir" is in the pasture, but he has not been called for a long time, and he has to wait for later......

Therefore, no matter from that point of view, it is also a lot of etiquette, and how can the senior brother, who has always been serious and attaches the most importance to the rules, do such a rude thing?

Therefore, there is only one explanation, the so-called heirs are just Li Ru's words.

Li Ru smiled, noncommittal, and then said: "Who made you worry about this broken foundation all day long...... After all, if you don't want to, what will you do? ”

Jia Xu sighed and said, "I originally thought that it would just be to deal with the old thief who was right-winged and attack the grain road, but I never thought that Han Wenyue would hide behind it...... I came to look for my brother...... However, if the senior brother doesn't want to go out of the mountain......"

"Han Wenyue is based on, but the Qiang people, if you want to break his army, you must first mess with the Qiang ......," Jia Xu said with squinted eyes, "...... However, in this case, if this move comes, it will inevitably be very trivial, so it is better for the senior brother to come forward and save trouble......"

The Qiang people, in the whole of Xiliang, belong to a very special group of Hu people.

It is said that it is a Hu people, but in fact, it is not exactly a Hu people, to be precise, it should belong to a semi-Sinicized nomadic people.

The Qin people are undoubtedly "Xirong". During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin dominated Xirong and annexed the Twelve Kingdoms of Xirong, and the Longshan generation officially entered the Chinese territory in the Spring and Autumn Period. Among Xirong, there are many surnames Jiang and Ji, which shows that in fact, the people of Xirong at that time and the Zhou people of the Zhou Dynasty were actually people of the same race, but because they were only for historical or cultural reasons, they parted ways and lived in different places.

Xirong was the name of the Zhou Dynasty, and in the Xia Dynasty, these people in the West were called Kunlun, Xizhi, Qusou, etc., and in the Shang Dynasty, this became called the Qiang people......

There are too many tribes among the Qiang people, first there is the rise of burning, and there is the first zero hegemony, but now the first zero Qiang is also yesterday's yellow flower, the tribe is dilapidated, and under several battles with the Han Dynasty, it is decaying, and it has completely lost its binding force on the Qiang people.

The grievances and hatred between the Han and the Qiang people lasted for a hundred years. Due to the internal migration of the Western Qiang, there were frequent conflicts with the local Han people in the Hexi Corridor and Longxi, and most of the officials sent to the northwest to serve as local officials used cruel and harsh methods, resulting in the Qiang people rebelling one after another. The Qiang people killed the Han people, the Han people also killed the Qiang people, the entanglement was unclear, the Qiang people replaced the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty and became the first foreign threat of the Han Dynasty, at this time, the Xianbei people were still busy occupying the northern Xiongnu grassland, and did not have time to pay attention to the affairs of the south.

In the period of Emperor Ling, with the rise of Xiliang wealthy families like Dong Zhuo, which replaced the original position of the Qiang people in Xiliang, the Qiang forces in Xiliang appeared weaker, and Han Sui's subordinates, these Qiang people also occupied a considerable part.

In the land of Xiliang Sanfu, these scattered Qiang tribes, as well as the Qiang people under the Han Dynasty's suppression and migration strategy, formed a series of Han Dynasty mercenaries, selling force only for money and wealth, and these people formed a large number of so-called first zero Qiang cavalry, Huangzhong Yi Conghu, Liangzhou Yi Congqiang and so on.

Since it's for money, it's basically insulated from faith.

Li Ru nodded and said, "You want to adopt the old things of the Divine Lord Zhao Wengsun? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "In the past, the big tycoon was 400,000 yuan, 150,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan, 3,000 men, and 1,000 women...... As soon as this order comes out, the Qiang people will be in chaos......" Jia Xu said, saying that as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

Li Ru glanced at Jia Xu.

"Uh...... Of course, this strategy has not yet been made clear to General Zhengxi......" Jia Xu touched his beard and added.

Li Ru nodded, then shook his head again.

After all, it was the endorsement of the whole country as Zhao Wengsun before, and the credibility was somewhat guaranteed, but now that a county guard, even if the local magistrate is willing to come forward, it may not be enough for everyone to believe it......

Jia Xu smiled, took out a wallet from his arms, and then took out a few handbags from it, put them on the table, and said, "Senior brother doesn't know anything...... Because the five-baht money is bad, Pingyang Zhengxi used this thing as money, called 'Jiaozi', so if Zhengxi wants to print as much as he wants, he can ...... Well, wait, could it be that the collection of wealth in the West has something to do with this? ”

Originally, Jia Xu wanted to say that this Jiaozi was printed by Fei Qian, and compared with copper coins, there is actually a slight difference in value, and the most important thing is that Jiaozi with a large denomination is only a little larger in area, and it has not grown in equal proportions, so if Fei Qian really adopts his own strategy, that is, to print more Jiaozi, there is no essential difference from Zhao Wengsun's national policy of buying heads.

But when Jia Xu took out Jiaozi, he suddenly touched something, and suddenly found that this Jiaozi might be Fei's means of accumulating wealth......

"No wonder Zhengxi once said that everything he did was a yang conspiracy, and it was all presented under the sun......" Jia Xu muttered, and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, "...... Nowadays, it is only used in the north, Hedong, Xihe, Taiyuan, and Huguan areas, and the middle and middle places of Jiyuguan may be used...... This...... This...... If this is used all over the world, wouldn't all the wealth of the world be gathered in Zhengxi alone? ”

Li Ru frowned and took Jiaozi in his hand, flipped it a few times, and suddenly shouted: "Someone!" Chuan Yan skillfully comes! ”

Yan Qiaoshou is a craftsman and is good at making things. Basically, every big family will have a few such characters, and the Guanshan grassland is so large, and there are naturally many utensils needed, so it is naturally needed.

Soon after, Yan Qiaoshou came.

"Take this thing and see if it can be copied...... Li Ru pointed to Jiaozi and said to Yan Qiao's hand.

Yan Qiaoshou took it and looked at it, smiled bitterly, then returned the Jiaozi, then took out a small cloth bag from his arms, then untied it, took out two slightly old Jiaozi and said, "This ...... This one of them is imitated by the villain, but it ...... Please check ......"

Li Ru took the two Jiaozi in his hand, glanced at them slightly, and pointed to one of them and said, "The left head is your imitation?" ”

Yan Qiaoshou glanced at it, nodded and said, "Exactly...... Although this thing looks simple, but the procedures are extremely complicated, just the paper inside the silk thread method, it is already extremely difficult, plus Zhu Xuan two-color ink modulation also has regulations, I don't know what the ratio is, it is also difficult, and then it hooks the text, yin and yang double-sided...... Even these unclear symbols seem to have hidden patterns, so they ...... It's hard to imitate......"

Jiaozi, after all, is not the same as copper coins. The copper coin is to make a mold, and then pour the prepared bronze into it, and the output may only be rough, and then the handwriting is blurred, but the copper coin is still a copper coin, if the copper quality is not too bad, there will be no obvious difference.

The Jiaozi used by Fei Qian is the use of paper ink color printing of later generations, plus colored silk threads mixed in the paper, for most people in the Han Dynasty, to crack the engineering technology, in this era when even writing a word is a technical work, it is indeed a very difficult thing.

Paper as a general equivalent is somewhat unusual, but it is not unacceptable. Many ordinary people don't even use money once a year, and bartering is the most commonly used transaction mode, so most of the money still belongs to the nobles and nobles, as long as these people are willing to use this kind of jiaozi, naturally this has become a general equivalent.

Li Ru waved his hand to let Yan Qiao's hand retreat, then looked at Jiaozi on the table, pondered for a long time before slowly raising his head and saying, "...... At the time of Luoyang, Fei Qian Fei Ziyuan offered suggestions several times...... In today's view, hehe...... Last night, the greedy wolf star moved, and it should be done...... Maybe so, so-and-so will follow your wishes, and first mess up the Qiang people! Mo Dao Dong Zhongying was not there, so he was unscrupulous and broke the rules! ”
