Chapter 315 Resignation
Fei Qian quietly knelt down in the hall, and behind the bead curtain in the hall, Liu Xie, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, also sat quietly and looked at him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Originally, Fei Qian could not use it, because although according to the custom, the ministers sent abroad needed to come to bid farewell to the emperor, but that meant the rank of a county guard who was more than 2,000 stones, and Fei Qian's highest official position was at most more than 1,000 stones......
However, Fei Qian's official position is really too special, coupled with the music delivered by Cai Yong, Liu Xie had the idea of meeting Fei Qian, so after obtaining Li Ru's consent, he summoned Fei Qian in the East Pavilion of Deyang Palace.
It is very strange and ironic for an emperor to want to see a courtier, and he needs the consent of another courtier, but this is the current situation.
Even now, there are guards standing outside the hall, although they don't look like they're listening, but in fact, maybe the guards, maybe the eunuchs, and most of them will be responsible for sorting out the conversation between the two people and handing it over to Li Ru to see......
Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, the Empress Dowager Dong actually does not have much literary literacy, she is not even much different from those women in the countryside who don't know poetry and books, stingy, greedy for money, sometimes she doesn't speak through the brain, but she really loves Liu Xie, what is delicious and fun, always think about Liu Xie first.
Therefore, Liu Xie also grew up in a relatively relaxed environment, more like a normal child, loves to laugh, loves to make trouble, and is relatively bold, of course, this is also the reason why he can still stand up under the pressure of Dong Zhuo's soldiers.
But now Liu Xie has completely changed.
Can you imagine that a ten-year-old child has begun to think and speak like an adult, and even slow down every word?
“…… Fei Zhonglang, "Fei Qian's current official position is really weird, so after thinking about it for a few seconds, Liu Xie felt that it was more customary to call this one," ...... How sure are you about the policy of assimilation and assimilation? ”
Fei Qian replied: "Don't dare to hide it, the minister is not sure." ”
It's not that Fei Qian is fooling or anything else, but there is really no certainty, although there are some examples that can be referred to in later generations, but can it definitely be implemented in the Han Dynasty?
Fei Qian didn't want to make a good impression in front of the emperor, so he patted his chest indiscriminately, and sometimes he made easy promises, or exaggerated good news and bad news, which was an act of digging a hole for himself.
Liu Xie was a little strange and asked, "...... Why? ”
"No soldiers, no money, no food, no people, no ......certainty," Fei Qian replied.
Fei Qian's words are very straightforward and practical, and now the resources he has at his disposal can be counted very clearly.
In addition to his original private soldiers, Fei Min, the head of the Fei family, supported him to escort thirty people, fifteen horses, fifty ordinary armors, five sets of full-body armor, and some blades and grain and grass.
The Fei family itself is not a very big family, and the Fei family is also facing migration, and they also need guards to protect the people of the main family all the way to the west, so if it weren't for Fei Qian's self-invitation to resolve the conflict between the Yuan family and the Yang family against the Fei family, Fei Min really wouldn't have to come up with these......
On the side of the imperial court, there were more than 500 soldiers, including 200 soldiers from the state and 300 from the northern army, which were officially assigned to the command of Fei Qian, and were equipped with 500 spears, 500 swords, 500 armor, 1,000 clothes, robes, raids, and 1,000 bows, 100 crossbows, 100 shields, 50 horses, a number of arrows, and other miscellaneous items such as axes, chains, hooks, claws, forks, horns, etc., two carts, 200 stones of grain and grass, and the salary of 500 soldiers advanced to Fei Qian for three months......
That is to say, Dahan formed an army of about 500 people for Fei Qian, which was under his jurisdiction and included a three-month maintenance period.
The above is all the belongings of Feiqian.
If it is compared to ordinary people, it is quite considerable, like the valley city that Fei Qian went to before, that is, two or three hundred guards, so now the strength controlled by Fei Qian alone is worth the total strength of the two counties.
However, this one is of no avail.
Bingzhou is so big, five hundred soldiers, oh, plus Fei Qian's own private soldiers, six or seven hundred people are thrown into Bingzhou, it really can't be splashed by a wave......
However, Fei Qian's words inevitably made Liu Xie a little puzzled, and said: "In this case, where to go?" ”
"Liang uses soldiers to quell the rebellion, four out of ten, with 24 billion. The finances are scarce, the government is empty, the officials are reduced, and the loans are given to the princes, but they still cannot be solved...... "Fei Qian said a few figures, that is, the military expenses of the Eastern Han Dynasty when dealing with the rebels of Western Liangqiang Hu......
Because the Eastern Han Dynasty adopted a soldier structure that combined recruitment and conscription, it spent much more on military expenses than the Western Han Dynasty, and the example mentioned by Fei Qian was only one of the battles against Qianghu......
It can be said that the Eastern Han Dynasty's policy towards the Qianghu in the Western Liang went wrong, which led to the repeated rebellions of the Qianghu, which in turn affected the entire national finances, so that in order to quell the rebellion, the Eastern Han Dynasty had to borrow many times and increase taxes to various counties, which further increased the degree of oppression of the ordinary people.
Of course, among them, the scholars in various places also settled in the dock to protect themselves and absorbed black households because of the troubled times, which led to a further reduction in taxes in the Han Dynasty and a further deterioration of the situation......
Land was annexed, and there were fewer and fewer yeoman farmers at the bottom, the strength of the noble clan was further enhanced, and the power of the royal family was further decayed.
Of course, these Fei Qian will not say it, he just said that if he can assimilate a Hu people, he can directly add a soldier to the country who controls the strings, and it also saves the military expenses that were originally aimed at these Hu people, and can ease the entire Han finances......
Fei Qian finally said: "...... The things of the world, there are those who know that it is easy to do, and there are those who know that it is difficult to do. Moreover, the matter is man-made, and the ministers are loyal to the Han Dynasty, and they do their best to protect the territory for the Han Dynasty, and live up to His Majesty's grace. ”
Fei Qian said very calmly, very straightforwardly, not exaggerated, not concealed, and there was no inhibition and frustration, impassioned, but it made Liu Xie feel very real and sincere, completely different from the misty words of Taifu Yuan Kui, or the roundabout words of Taifu Yuan Kui.
Liu Xie silently recited "easy to know, easy to do, easy to do" behind the bead curtain, and couldn't help but nodded. Fei Qian in front of him seemed to be as he remembered, gentle and peaceful......
Liu Xie suddenly thought of something, smiled slightly, and said: "Fei Zhonglang has this ambition, I am very relieved, and I am about to leave today...... Come! Bring the pastry! ”
Soon a eunuch took some pastries, put them in a food box, and brought them over. Liu Xie motioned to give these cakes to Fei Qian, and said: "This cake is still beautiful, give it to you to eat, and strengthen your line." ”
After Fei Qian kowtowed and thanked him, he took the pastry and said goodbye to Liu Xie and withdrew.
Fei Qian glanced at the food box in his hand, and couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart, there shouldn't be any notes and blood edicts in there......
Fei Qian thought about it while holding the food box and then left, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned a corner, he met Dong Zhuo from the Deyang Palace......
Dong Zhuo was originally extremely strong, and during this time, he was pampered in Luoyang, and he grew a lot of fat.
Originally, it was far away from the main hall after all, and there was not much feeling, but now when Dong Zhuo stood in front of him, Fei Qian really felt a very strong sense of oppression, as if the sun and warmth were all blocked at this moment, leaving only darkness and cold.
Dong Zhuo walked in front of Shi Li's Fei Qian, half-tilted his head, squinted, stared at the food box on the side, and said, "What is this?" ”
Fei Qian slandered in his heart, the emotional Cao Cao learned from you, the fat man Dong?
However, Fei Qian still replied respectfully: "This is a gift from Your Majesty." ”
"Oh? Present! "Dong Zhuo is different from Cao Cao, there is nothing polite at all, maybe Fei Xu Dong Zhuo is also a petty official in his eyes, not worth mentioning, so he directly asked people to take the food box in front of him, opened it and took a look, it contained four-color pastries, a total of eight pastries, divided into two layers, two pieces of each, stacked together.
Dong Zhuo tapped the food box lightly with his fingers, and then glanced at Fei Qian, who lowered his head, obviously a little strange why Liu Association gave him any pastries.
"This cake is very beautiful, how about giving it to me?" Dong Zhuo grinned and asked.
Don't look at Fei Qian's calm face now, in fact, his heart is constantly circling, hiding a note in the pastry steamed bun, this kind of plot is simply a god creation, almost every spy war movie will be seen, although Liu Xie has not seen these movies and television, but what if there is no teacher?
So, should I promise Dong Zhuo, or should I not agree?
