The scorching summer has arrived, as if it is to add three points to the already passionate Pingyang City. Knowing that he was lying on the trunk of the tree, he shouted weakly and shouted heat, but the pedestrians on the road seemed to be unaware, even if the sweat washed the dust on his face out of traces, he still walked firmly towards Pingyang City.

The news of Liu Xie's patrol of Pingyang, the son of heaven, gradually spread out in all directions with the order to seek talents, and many people couldn't help but sleep, although those big families still have no movement for the time being, but some of the side branches of the cold door are like being attracted by a magnet, and gradually come towards Pingyang.

Just like the difference between large companies and small enterprises in later generations, if a large company wants to launch a project, I am afraid that it will have to go through intensive and strong consultation by the board of directors before it can finally be voted on and implemented, while a small company only needs the boss to pat his head and maybe start replacing the machine on the same day.

The ship is shipwrecked and turned around, that's it.

Summer is also the busy season for merchants, and this busyness will continue until late autumn. In winter, even if there are amazing profits, they can't stop the cold winter, and the merchants who come and go are basically cut off, and there is generally more rain in spring, in the Han Dynasty, when this kind of road was basically a dirt road, walking on the mud pond like a road in the rainy season is a hellish torture for anyone.

Therefore, the vast majority of businessmen are also concentrated in the summer and autumn seasons, and the traffic in these months may be profitable or discounted, depending on the business situation in these months.

In the eastern and western cities of Pingyang, Hu and Han merchants, convoys, helpers, and foot laborers filled almost every gap in the market, and all kinds of goods came in like a stream, and quickly transferred out, I don't know how much money was churning and rolling here in one day, like boiling water.

In times like these, it seems that the old rules are being followed, but they are also adapting to the new ones......

"The convoy ahead! Stop it! ”

On the main road of the West Market, a team of patrol horses dressed in iron armor stopped the convoy of merchants. The cavalry leader, a middle-aged man, pointed to a lump of horse dung in the road behind him with three fingers missing, and said, "Are those pulled by the cattle of your convoy?" ”

"Huh? Ah......" The leader of the small merchant convoy looked back and cried out in exasperation, "whose cattle are they?" Let's see, whose family is it?! ”

"It's the ...... of Lao Ma's family"

It didn't take long for someone to respond.

This caravan is actually put together by several merchants, and the individual merchants are inevitably too fragile, and after forming a caravan, they can also flatten the cost of guards, and it is relatively safe.

"It's yours...... Don't be too late, we're going to continue patrolling the streets and pay the fine......" The leader untied a cloth bag from his horse, then took out a small wooden sign from the cloth bag, looked at the words on the wooden card, and then threw it back into the cloth bag, and took out another piece again, "Well, the one who left the arrow on the street will be fined two hundred yuan...... This is two hundred dollars ......."

"This ...... This, hey, alas......" The caravan leader shook his head, but helplessly took out his money bag, took out two hundred coins from it, and handed it to the street patrol cavalry.

Thanks to the serious damage to the original five-baht money system, coupled with the rapid development of commerce and trade, at present, in Binh Duong, and even in a large area in the north, we have to start using the Jiaozi issued by Feiqian, and this habit is gradually spreading to the surrounding areas.

The leader of this money caravan couldn't have taken it out by himself, and when he turned around, he found the culprit and asked him to pay for it. "You have to pay for! There is no reason for this! Not even in Kyoto! ”

"Hehe......" In front of these foreign businessmen, the businessmen who settled in Binh Duong inevitably behaved a little arrogantly, "...... At first glance, you are new here...... The sign at the city gate is so big that they are blind and don't look at it, who can blame it? Besides, the street is so clean, you pull a bunch, he pulls a lump, so do you want to go? ”

“…… I thought it was about people, but who knew it was written even about livestock? The little merchant surnamed Ma was a little painful, and he still muttered unconvinced, "...... If the livestock wants to pull, who can control it? ”

"If someone gets it, it's five hundred dollars! Hehe, there are big rules here in Pingyang, learn to ...... "Seeing the lively shopkeepers, he said with a smile, and then turned back.

In front of these outsiders, the people who came to Binh Duong in the early days to develop and settle down always have a touch of pride. Everything in Pingyang City seems to be different from other cities in Dahan, and even a little different from the capital.

Binh Duong's new rules.

There are rules that even Dahan Kyoto does not have.

Not to mention those health regulations, even the soldiers patrolling the streets are different, although they are disabled veterans who have retired from the battlefield, but they are all proficient in writing, clear about the regulations, and there are very few arbitrary punishments and improper handling, over time, such scenes have become a unique scenery in Binh Duong, and will be screened from time to time.

Of course, many people still don't understand what these things really mean......

However, these are just small episodes, during this period of time in Pingyang, more people are concerned about the Son of Heaven and the changes in the court, although these people can't get in touch with any high-level figures, but it doesn't prevent them from spitting and showing off their so-called gossip to the people around them, as if whoever knows a little less is losing face.

Among them, the most discussed is the general Fei Qian. The teahouse of the wine shop was disturbed, and there were seven or eight tables out of ten, all talking about this topic.

"General Zhengxi has made great achievements before, and this time His Majesty has patrolled the hunt, needless to say, it is definitely going to go up again......"

"That's right, but General Zhengxi's age, and then up, what do you want those court ministers to do? What's more, if there is no more meritorious service, it is not easy to seal, in my opinion, at most add some fiefdoms......"

"Lao San Lang, at this time, you are chattering again, at the moment in the court, how many people are left who can lead the troops? If you don't seal the expedition to the west, will you still seal those who don't do anything? Besides, in the north of the country, who else can hold it except General Zhengxi? I asked, who else? ”

"Hey, I said you kid, you love to talk back, I'm old, but I know this in my heart, don't look at General Zhengxi's glory now, that's also the target of everyone! I think General Zhengxi is a smart man, and his intelligence is by no means limited to this, so ah, I will definitely not add any more positions this time......"

For the people, the reason for paying attention to Fei Qian is because Fei Qian is already related to Pingyang, and even everything in the north, which is naturally closely related, but for people in the officialdom, they pay attention to Fei Qian, but because of the kind of relationship between Fei Qian and Liu Xie during this period of time......

Could it be that Fei Qian will be the next Wei Qing?

But is the Han Emperor Liu Association the next Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Just as there are rules in the city, there are also rules in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty.

But all people of insight can see that there is a big problem in the political system of the Han Dynasty, but like many people in later generations, they know that there is a problem, and they complain that they are still going up, and if they want to come up with a governance reform plan, they will be inferior to the ninth rate. Therefore, it is indeed difficult for these Han Dynasty people to come up with a plan for social reform.

Because these things are intertwined, too deeply entangled, and very tricky.

The emperors of the Han Dynasty were not all stupid, and they also knew that the model of eunuchs, Qingliu, and relatives taking turns to govern was unreliable, but under the scruples and trade-offs, they either simply let it go, or they just moved their fur, Emperor Heng of Han and Emperor Ling of Han naturally had this wish, and they also made some attempts, but they all failed.

If you want to talk about Liu Xie, it may also be another kind of blessing in disguise, according to the level of Liu Xie's involvement in the three, it is even lighter than any Han emperor. The original relatives of the He family were killed by the eunuchs, and the eunuchs were killed by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, basically all of them were finished, and the Qingliu clan was destroyed in the hands of Dong Zhuo......

The Han Dynasty is now in a period of time when eunuchs, relatives, and Qingliu are all extremely vulnerable.

It's a pity that the imperial power happens to be so weak.

And now, Fei Qian is consciously or unintentionally cultivating a new imperial power, of course, this imperial power can not be established in a day or two.

"Fei Aiqing......" Liu Xie put together the concerto and said with a frown, "...... You're ...... Why do you want to show Yuan as a general? ”

Why?

It's very simple, isn't there an old saying, if you want people to perish, let them go crazy first, but naturally you can't say this to Liu Xie......

Fei Qian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, famous all over the world, are suitable for this ......"

Liu Xie put down the concerto, frowned and said, "Fei Aiqing, please speak up." Maybe there are some things I don't understand very well, but this table ...... I thought that it was not as simple as Fei Aiqing said......"

Perhaps because he has experienced great ups and downs in life since he was a child, Liu Xie's mind is much more mature than ordinary people, and after seeing Fei Qian's concert, he faintly noticed that something was wrong, but because of the above reasons, he has not yet analyzed the things behind the concert.

"Your Majesty......" Fei Qian looked up at Liu Xie and sighed, "...... Your Majesty's heart is as pure as jade, and the minister really can't bear to let His Majesty be contaminated with dust......"

Liu Xie was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Fei Aiqing's heart of protection, I also understand, but the world is turbid, how can it be contaminated or not...... But it doesn't hurt to talk about it......"

"Your Majesty." Fei Qian nodded, arched his hand a little helplessly, and said, "This is Weichen's plan for His Majesty......

Liu Xie's eyes widened, and then he couldn't help but stretch out his finger and point at himself......

Fei Qian nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the two sons of the Yuan family are divided into Ji and Henan, and the Shandong Shi clan is good at the Yuan family, and the imperial court decree is impassable...... And at this time, Your Majesty, although the whip is long, it is not as long as the horse's belly ......"

Liu Xie nodded silently.

Fei Qian continued: "Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway have always been incompatible, and now Yuan Benchu is the general, and Yuan Highway is the general of the chariot and cavalry...... Your Majesty thinks, did Yuan Benchu comply? ”

Anyway, this reason is also very smooth, Yuan Shao is promoted to the general, so of course the radish seal that was originally engraved privately is useless, so it is normal to give it to Yuan Shu, but according to the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, even if it is true that Yuan Shao suddenly thinks about it or can't think of it, and really gives Yuan Shu's seal to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu may not be happy to follow.

Liu Xie thought about it, suddenly smiled, then shook his head and said: "If it is a deep brotherhood, it will be fine, but ...... Hehe......"

"In this way, there will inevitably be a gap between the two of Yuan...... Fei Qian continued, "...... In addition, Gongsun Bogui was crowned as the general of Anbei, Cao Mengde as the general of Pingdong, Liu Jingsheng as the general of Pingnan, and Sun Bofu as the general of Guangwu...... These four people are all ambitious, and if they win the position of general, they will definitely not be willing to live under others, so the second son of the Yuan family will lose his wings......"

"Gongsun Bogui, Cao Mengde, Liu Jingsheng, I know a little bit about it, this Sun Bofu ...... Who are they? Liu Xie really didn't have any impression of Sun Ce.

"Sun Bofu is the son of Sun Jian, the general Sun Wentai, and is now the pioneer general of the Yuan Highway......" Fei Qian replied.

Liu Xie nodded, oh, and thought for a while.

In fact, this matter is not completely undone by the imperial court. Some time ago, Chong Shao was still in love with Yang Biao and killed each other, originally wanted Yang Biao to send an envoy to Shandong, but Yang Biao couldn't get sick, and finally in desperation, he asked Ma Ri to appease Shandong. And Ma Ri didn't know whether it was the instruction of the Shao or his own ideas, and when he arrived at Yuan Shu's territory, he summoned Sun Ce in Shouchun, and made a table on the spot, appointing Sun Ce as the captain of Huaiyi......

Although Captain Huaiyi is not a serious Han general, after all, he is also a famous captain, and since then he has been free from those low-level interests, and his style is naturally different. However, perhaps because such a move did not have Yuan Shu's consent, Yuan Shu was very angry, and even made a move to deprive Ma Ri of the envoy's scepter, and the angry Ma Ri couldn't afford to die.

Therefore, Feiqian's strategy is actually a copy of what Ma Ri did at that time, but this time the scope is larger and the effectiveness is stronger.

"What Your Majesty has paid is nothing more than a title," Fei Qian said, "and Your Majesty has a long spring and autumn period, and when the two Yuan fight each other and Shandong loses, it can be decided in one fell swoop, and the world has a peaceful ......."

What does Liu Xie have in his hands now, except for these false names, there is nothing, and taking a step back, even if Liu Xie doesn't throw out these false names, will these people obediently not go beyond the current scope?

If Er Yuan was willing to return to the imperial court, he should have come back as early as when Dong Zhuo died, and now he lives and dies in Jizhou and Yuzhou, even the stupid people can understand the thoughts, and Liu Xie naturally understands them......

Therefore, for Liu Xie, Fei Qian's recital is indeed only good, and there is no harm.

Liu Xie groaned, suddenly looked up at Fei Qian, and said, "Fei Aiqing is very good at this...... But...... Fei Aiqing...... What could you ask for? ”
