1.21 Same price for donkeys and horses

The period of temporary residence in Luoyang was Liu Bei's rare leisure.

In the first place, the building was narrow. The governor is white again. Although it is impossible to talk about ruling one poor and two white. But it can't withstand the wind and waves. Now the land has been expanded three hundred miles. There are more than a dozen cities in the city. There are millions of people, and six million of fertile land. In the first two million acres of official land, tens of millions of stone new grains were put into storage. The family has surplus food, and there is no panic in the heart. In addition, the system of township officials is becoming more and more mature. Handle all kinds of things, handy. The previous two family members, big and small affairs, should be carefully explained at the church meeting, so that Liu Bei can decide. Now that the lord is far away in Luoyang, he can discuss and decide himself. The results have been remarkable.

Previously. There is Lou Sang Ling Le Yin, Licheng Ling Guo Zhi, before and after the book, asking how to eat Shuangcheng. Liu Bei replied: "The grace is widespread, and the benefits are far-reaching. ”

The two were immediately deflated. How can the order of one city benefit the entire neighborhood?

If you want to eat double food, it's actually not difficult. In addition to the officials of the Hou Mansion, there are also knighthoods in the township.

Ponder over. Liu Bei went to the two families today. said, or you can be promoted to the knighthood on the basis of the age of the year. He has been an official for three years, and the assessment is correct, and he can be a doctor.

The two family members wrote back and said, is three years too short? It is better to increase it to five years.

Five years is too long. It is not easy to be an official for five years. Liu Bei insisted on a three-year period.

The two family members then acted according to the order.

The news spread back to Linxiang and caused a sensation up and down.

The title of doctor can be granted five hectares of land, which is 250 acres of fertile land, and there are five houses.

After another three years, he was promoted to an official doctor. In another three years, he was promoted to the rank of public doctor. After ten years as an official, he will be automatically promoted to a public passenger.

The public ride is the eighth rank of the 20th class. In order to take the public car, it is called a public car. At the beginning of the Qin and Han dynasties, from the seventh-level public doctor (seven doctors), he was a high lord. Han Gaozu stipulated that the seven doctors and above had food and eup. After Emperor Wen, the ninth level of five doctors and above began to be a high lord. The treatment of the five doctors is only exempt from military service, and the public passengers below are still required to serve. Emperor Ming also stipulated that the people should not be allowed to exceed the public ride.

In other words, the 20th rank was also open to officials.

This is also equivalent to eating a double meal!

Just as Le Yin, Guo Zhi and others have been officials for several years, they will soon be awarded the title of doctor.

In other words. The title of the township official is the fifth class at the beginning. It has crossed the first-level public service, the second-level is made, the third-level hairpin is curled, and the fourth-level is not changed. It can be seen that the townsfolk marquis treats scholars preferentially. And the sergeant need not be discouraged. Because in addition to the twentieth rank lord, there is also an eleventh rank martial arts lord!

All are dual-track systems.

There are many New Year's rituals.

On days when there were no sacrifices, Liu Bei was free to move. The horse market is the most frequented place. The reason is that it is closest to home, and it is one of them to go out the back door. Visiting Sister Ning is the second. Third, there are many merchants in the horse market, and they are the most well-informed. Liu Bei had heard a lot of information related to Xianbei in the west.

After the defection of Xianbei in the west, they first entrenched themselves between the Great River and Longshan. Later, it gradually moved to the Western Regions. The western Xianbei, which is now scattered in the vast area north of the Hexi Corridor, either nomadic in the Hexi Corridor or entrenched in the Longxi area. The countries of the Western Regions call it 'Hexi Xianbei' and 'Longxi Xianbei'.

Nowadays, Xianbei who is active in Longyou, there are still Lujie, Tulai, Mohou, Diedu, Bohan, Pilan, Migui, Tilun, Yuezhi, Douliuqi, Qidouhun, Dadouguo, Yue Dajian, Fuhun and so on. Each dominates the pasture and attacks each other. Among them, there are two departments with the largest number of people: the 'Longxi Xianbei' begging department, and the 'Hexi Xianbei' bald department.

Baldness in Xianbei language is the meaning of quilt. Entrenched around the Hexi Corridor, intercepting and plundering caravans, living in no fixed place, coming and going like the wind. The border army is often overwhelmed by the overwhelmed and disturbed.

Historically. These Xianbei who moved westward had to wait for Tanshi Huai to die violently, and Kebi could reunify Xianbei, and was stabbed to death by the assassin Han Long, who was sent by Wang Xiong, the assassin of Youzhou. Only then did "the tribes disperse and conquer each other", and then they became independent. After moving westward, it merged with the southbound tribe of the Gaoche tribe and gradually developed and expanded.

During the two western Xianbei and the Sixteen Kingdoms, one established Western Qin and the other established Southern Liang.

Unexpectedly, under this starry sky, Liu Bei was born, Xianbei was defeated in a battle, and split in advance.

The eastern Xianbei successively went south to join the Han court, and moved west to Xianbei, bearing the up and down squeeze of the Han court and the high car, so they could only continue to move west. Messing into the Western Regions. Taking advantage of the Han Court's disadvantage in guarding the Western Regions, the countries of the Western Regions were fighting in chaos, and they took advantage of the fire. After annexing several small tribes and scattered mercenary teams in the Western Regions, his strength gradually increased.

The Guishan envoy said that there were also wealthy merchants in the Western Regions who were in cahoots with him. Provide information and specialize in raiding caravans. It made people angry.

According to the original historical process, it was not until more than 100 years later in the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that the begging department and the bald department gradually developed and expanded, but because of Liu Bei's intervention, Xianbei was split in advance. Let the two Xianbei tribes rise while the chaos is rising. Earlier than history, there is a tendency to have a big tail.

And no wonder. The chaotic wars of the countries of the Western Regions have indeed provided an excellent opportunity for the revival of Xianbei in the west.

The Kushan envoy has submitted his credentials.

Da Honglu also sent people to spread the word. He said that after the funeral ceremony, His Majesty would discuss the matter. Let the Kushan messenger wait patiently and not mention it.

Light and four years, spring, New Year's month.

The first stables were set up, which were responsible for the adoption of horses requisitioned from various counties and countries. Due to the monopoly of the horse trade in various places, the price of a horse rose to 2 million dollars.

And that's just the price of an ordinary war horse. For example, the red dodder that Liu Bei bought a few years ago, at this time, ten thousand gold is not available!

It's just that after the year and the year, the price of horses has skyrocketed a hundredfold!

What's even more staggering. The price of donkeys has also risen 100 times. Almost equal to the price of horses.

An adult Bohai black donkey can be sold for two million dollars.

What are you waiting for?

Liu Bei then went to Linxiang. A large number of hoarded Bohai black donkeys were sold.

He is also preparing to find a place in the horse market and build a donkey and horse shop in the countryside. Monopoly Bohai black donkey.

Unexpectedly, after searching again, there were no shops in the city for sale. This will tell the distress to Sister Ning, who has great powers. Within three days, Sister Ning sent a message. Yan, there is an orchid wine shop in the horse market that plans to sell it, and asked Liu Bei if he was interested.

Orchid Restaurant... Can I sell donkeys in my backyard?

Probably no problem.

Then we agreed on a time to go to the orchid restaurant to negotiate.

Nowadays, the Hu people are in a business, and the style and decoration are roughly the same. The orchid liquor shops in and out of the horse market are no different from the orchid liquor shops in and out of Lousang. The only difference is the orchid lineage. The orchid of Luoyang Mashi comes from the Sabbath Empire, which is farther away than Kushan. That is, the Persians of later generations.

The restaurant is a bearded woman. Quite a gesture. Liu Bei talked to him, and he spoke fluent Gyeonggi official dialect.

Seeing Liu Bei's surprise, the Hu woman smiled and said, "The concubine was originally the princess of the rest country. When he was young, he arrived in the Central Plains with his brother. He has lived in Luoyang for thirty or forty years, so he is proficient in Chinese. The prince should not be surprised. ”

"It's actually Princess Anxie, Liu Bei is disrespectful." Liu Bei saluted solemnly.

"The title of princess, the concubine body has long been gone. Don't worry about it. The shopkeeper smiled back.

"So, Prince Anxie, also in Luoyang?" Liu Bei has a lot of feelings in the Western Regions and wants to ask him for advice.

"My brother lived in seclusion in the White Horse Temple and devoted himself to translating the scriptures. The concubine has not been seen for many years. ”

"White Horse Temple...... Immersed in translating the Bible? Don't wait for Liu Bei to ask.

Jia Xu, who was sitting next to him, spoke: "Brother Ling, isn't it An Shigao?" ”

"Yes, yes."
