Chapter 48: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
Pei Tong said that you are just a group of waste dim sum, with the surname Pei in vain, under the rule of the Hu Dynasty, shrinking like sparrows, only seeking self-preservation; After the country recovers Hedong, there will be no one or two talented people who will come, and they can only supply some grain and straw, just like ordinary civilians. What credit do you have? Now that Da Sima dominates the world, you have jumped out and wanted the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world!
Pei Shuo really has a hard time and can't say it...... The essence of the Pei family is in the descendants of Pei Mao, since the funeral, it is the death of death (such as Pei Dun, Pei Bao, Pei Shao, etc.), the escape (such as Pei Gai, Pei Wei, Pei Cui, etc.), those who stay in Wenxi's family are originally some children of the Shu clan, and the educational resources have never been inclined to them, how can there be any more talented people? It's like a farmer who works hard to support the officials, and when the officials are done, the officials accuse the farmers of refusing to learn and not being able to help, which is too much!
It's just that although Pei Tong still calls him "Shuzu" or "Gong", his tone is aggressive, and he is among the people who are fleeing, he is a person with vested interests, so it is inconvenient for Pei Shuo to refute it directly. So how can we dispel the other party's delusion to clean up the clansmen? The old man couldn't help but look sad.
The reason why Pei Gai sent Pei through instead of others with the same surname was naturally after repeated consideration. If you change someone else, regardless of the means for the time being, you may not be able to speak more aggressively than Pei Xingzhi.
First, Pei Tong is only in the middle, but he is really a person who can speak well, which Pei should have understood when he first met in Xuzhou; Second, Pei Tong is less than Wenxi, and he is very unfamiliar with the clansmen, so Pei Shuo can't play any emotional cards; More importantly, Pei Tong is different from other Pei children in Guanzhong, he is a concubine and has always been despised by his father and brother, but he has not become cowering because of this, but is extremely ambitious, and even good at speaking.
To put it bluntly, Pei Xingzhi is a villain's explosive face, this road goods are unruly to the top, arrogant to the bottom, and the best at secretly plotting against the noble, and clearly stepping on the subordinates. put him in the middle of a group of clansmen who are far inferior in rank and have a sparse blood relationship than him, is it possible for him to be soft-hearted under Pei Shuo's family offensive?
So Pei Shuo's lament inspired Pei Tong's arrogance even more, and he immediately said clearly: "Since I am happy to keep the pastor, I must sort out the household registration and reorganize the field." Since Yong'an (referring to the Yong'an year of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, Liu Yuan started his army in the first year of Yong'an, and then seized Hedong), the county's households and fields have mostly entered the Pei family's private door. β
Pei Shuo smiled bitterly: "Don't dare to deceive, in the past ten years, the Pei family has indeed gathered a lot of hungry people, as slaves and tenants, and has also purchased some land because of this." However, there is a written deed in the city, which is in line with the law, and I hope that the county will be aware of it...... "We are legally slaves and legally buy land, how can we spit it out for no reason?"
Pei Tong sneered: "How can the Wenqi under Hu Kou's rule count? β
Pei Shuo retorted: "This is the imperial court's abandonment of Hedong, if it is not for us to welcome Hu Kou, how can the deed be invalidated?" Not to mention a county in the east of the river, there are dozens of big clans, there are many such things, do the county lords want to seize their land and property, slaves and maids? "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble because of this?!
Pei Tong grinned and said: "The affairs of other counties, naturally, I don't care about them, I am happy today, and the affairs of the county will be decided by me!" β
As long as it does not violate the basic laws of the imperial court, nor does it violate common sense and common sense, it is natural to introduce various local temporary measures, and under normal circumstances, the imperial court only looks at the results - if something happens because of this, even if you implement the imperial decrees at a glance, you will be responsible; If it's too peaceful, whatever you do in the local area, the court won't bother to pay attention to it.
So Pei Tong said that all the deeds during the reign of Hu Han were all invalidated, and even the newly occupied land, slaves and maids during this period were regarded as "reverse property" and should be confiscated, which is theoretically reasonable. As for the results of such governance...... Wenxi County is the only one who has a big power, and this order does not involve other counties, so when other families in Hedong are resuming, no one will dare to stand up and cheer for the Pei family, right?
The Pei family is making trouble alone? I'm afraid Da Sima is waiting for you to make trouble and clean it up! As for Pei Tong, he is the younger brother of Da Sima, and his surname is Pei, maybe not only will he not be blamed afterwards, but he will leave a reputation of "righteous annihilation".
What's even worse is that the Fenyin Xue clan, who was originally cited by Pei Shuo as an Austrian aid, has long been observant and obedient, and it is difficult to count on it......
ββββββββββ
Previously, Pei Gai appointed Li Rong as the county guard of Hedong, asking him to plot to suppress and weaken the powerful in the territory, and Li Zhongsi's main means was to divide and disintegrate, and take advantage of the contradictions within each family to divide its main branches. Although it has only been more than half a year, the results have been quite significant.
However, there are two families, Li Rong does not dare to touch them for the time being, one is the Wenxi Pei family from Pei Gai, and the other is the Xue family from Fenyin. The strength of the Xue family's force is the head of all the families in Hedong, and Li Rong is afraid that if he is not careful, he will force Xue Ning to rebel, and there will be waves in the territory again. And as long as the Xue and Pei families don't move, the other families won't have the guts to make trouble.
Xue Ning previously followed Zhen to the north to Pingyang and participated in the Battle of Pingyang, and was taken back to Chang'an by Pei Gai after the war. This isolated him from the Xue clan himself, and took the opportunity to hint to Xue Ning: The Xue clan is strong, and it is not a blessing for the country.
Since the former Han Dynasty, local officials suppressed the wealthy family, and even destroyed the family, which is a politically correct measure, as long as it does not cause major turmoil, the imperial court will definitely support it. Only since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the scholarly family has flourished, often occupying important positions in the court, relying on the backer, and in the township, they disguise their gentle and elegant faces, no longer openly confronting the government, but are accustomed to secretly tearing down the corners, and the local officials have no choice but to let it go.
This is where the politics of the Maison comes in. To put it bluntly, if you don't rely on Confucianism to build a family, and use it to seek popularity, a purely local wealthy family will have no future. Just like the Fenyin Xue clan, the clan has no Confucianism, there is no eunuch in the dynasty, and it started purely by force, which is more similar to those local heroes in the former Han Dynasty, and was suppressed by the current regime.
Therefore, Pei Gaiyi hinted that the Xue family was too prosperous, and there were often suppressive words within the line, and now that Xue Tao is not dead, he has fallen into my hands, if you are disobedient, I can ask him if he is willing to obey...... Xue Ning was in Pei Ying, allowing mermaids to be fleshed, so he was cowardly on the spot, and hurriedly wept bitterly to show loyalty to Pei Gai, and begged for guidance to the Xue family on a way to live.
Pei Gai said this, since you are under my command, you can make great achievements and rise to the top, is it necessary to take such a powerful force privately? He immediately ordered the demolition of all the dock forts, including Xue Qiangbi, and incorporated more than 300 Xue's strong soldiers into the system of the three armies of the Great Sima, moved his wife and children into Guanzhong, naturalized and granted land. In this way, it is equivalent to basically incorporating the Xue family's force. In return, Xue Ning was awarded the rank of captain and given to General Huya.
The Xue family, who stayed in Fenyin's hometown, was in decline, and it was difficult to serve as Pei's aid, so now Pei Tong said that he would confiscate the fields, slaves, etc. obtained by Pei's family for more than ten years. β
Pei Tong looked at the other party kowtowing, and kowtowed three in a row, and then pretended to stretch out his hand and pull: "Why is the uncle like this, don't you want to kill your grandson?" Then he said: "If you newly occupy the land, you must not be in the official, otherwise I will not be able to govern a county; As for slaves and servants, and tenants...... There is still something negotiable. The grandson has a plan, I don't know if the uncle is willing to listen? β
Pei Shuoxin said it, just waiting for your words.
He also knew that Pei Gai and Pei Tong had been plotting the authority of their own clan for a long time, and they would definitely not be so simple and rude as separating their families and confiscating their property. The other party must first intimidate and oppress himself with violent politics, and then he will finally try to meet the poor dagger......
"I wish to hear the teachings of the county."
Pei Tong's face was slightly pale, and he had a heartfelt expression, and said slowly: "What I want, since Pei's precipitation of the land, people, so that the county government can do; The public's wishes made the Pei family still based on good land and beautiful houses, and the clansmen had food and clothing, and the family business was revived from the situation. Is that to say? β
Pei Shuo bowed slightly: "That's roughly the case." β
Pei Tong said well-"The newly harvested land must be returned to the county, but it can be easily elsewhere." A few of the slaves and servants and tenants raised by the county can be attributed to the county as the people, and the rest are still owned by the Pei clan, and then they migrate to other lands......"
When Pei Shuo heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "What the county respecter said about other lands refers to ......"
"Da Sima Xingtai Chang'an, President Yong, Qin, Liang, Liang four prefectures, and Hedong, Pingyang two counties. Hedong and Pingyang have a slightly more complicated household registration, and the land of Guanzhong is more than thousands of miles of fertile land, and there are few people who survive. Da Sima often regrets it, and it is inconvenient to cultivate and weave and accumulate, so he recruits troops and determines the troubles in the east. It is advisable to move half of the clansmen to Guanzhong, grant the land, and often defend the side of the big Sima, so that the Pei family can prosper in the east and west.
"Uncle, the bigger the country is, the more remote it is difficult to control, and the children must be divided; The same is true of clans, only when the branches are flourishing, their roots can be deep. Let me ask, if the Pei family only lives in one place, then Hu Kou comes, Da Sima and I will definitely suffer, and there is hope for revival? Or in the past, Hu Kou brazenly sent troops to destroy our clan and attack my Bai, where is the Pei family? β
Pei Shuo pondered for a long time and was silent.
He basically understood that Pei should want to be in the area where his foundation is most solid, and not to set up a Pei family, although Wenxi is where the ancestral tomb is located, the final prosperity will be Pei in Guanzhong. This is not an unthinkable suggestion...... And it is estimated that the other party is not a suggestion, but an order.
Pei Shuo is worried about the fall of the Pei family, but theoretically, as long as Pei's authority does not fall, even if all the Wenxi family is dead, the Pei family will be revived sooner or later. Then you Pei should feel that Wenxi's family is unreliable, it is difficult to control, and it is useless, just leaving an ancestral hall and ancestral tomb is enough, it is better to set up Pei's family, so as to usurp it directly...... No, it's reasonable to regain the authority of the clan.
It's just that I'm planning to hand over the power...... But you don't believe it......
- Of course, Pei Gai is not unbelieving, his main purpose is to weaken the Pei clan, at least divide it, divide it and make it weak, no matter Pei Shuo or Pei Tong, they can't guess it.
So after Pei Shuo thought about it repeatedly, he theoretically agreed with Pei Tong's statement, but still begged: "The homeland is difficult to leave, although there are thousands of miles of fertile soil in Guanzhong, it is not the ancestral industry...... I really don't know who is ordered to move to Guanzhong, and I want to move half of it, it's too ......"
The two discussed for a long time, bargained, and finally decided to divide the Pei clan into three-thirds of the peopleβprobably more than 1,000 men and women, plus the old and weakβand the corresponding slaves and servants, and tenants, and move to Guanzhong to settle down. As for the specific implementation of which people, Pei Tong said: "My uncle has been in charge of the clan for a long time, and it is naturally determined by my uncle, and it is inconvenient for me to act on my behalf." β
Pei Tong was a little puzzled again. He said in his heart that migration is a hard thing - although it is close to Da Sima and is expected to prosper in the future, after all, I don't know that it is the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, and there are a few people who can have such a long-term vision - I thought you would move me and the gateway close to me west, but you put power back in my hands...... Then of course I'll blow away those people who don't deal with it, for example, those who have been running to you to complain these days, although I won't stop them, but don't think I don't know who they are!
Thinking about it again, maybe this is exactly the original intention of Da Sima, that is, to let those guys who don't deal with me enter the customs and become his basic plate; As for the people who are close to me, he probably doesn't feel at ease......
Pei Tong and Pei Shuo discussed and agreed, so they immediately returned to the county office, and a few days later sent a small official to make a list of the land that the government wanted to recover, and also demanded the release of nearly 1,000 slaves and servants, and the delivery must be completed before the beginning of spring. And the people of the Pei clan must also set off in the middle of the wax moon, so that when they arrive in Guanzhong, they can catch up with the spring sowing.
Pei Shuo didn't dare to slack off, and sure enough, he selected one-third of the clansmen, and accordingly tenants, slaves and maids, collected their houses with property, and then forced them to go to the road. Everyone helped the old and the young, walked bumpily, cried on the road, and hated Pei Shuo for gnashing his teeth, needless to say.
After these children surnamed Pei came to Guanzhong, that is, under the auspices of Pei Cui, the assassin of Yongzhou, they were each given 100 to 200 mu of land according to Ding, and the slaves and maids released half of them, and the tenants were also granted 50 to 100 mu of land according to Ding; However, it does not make it inhabited, but is scattered among the five counties of Jingzhao, Fufeng, Fengyi, Shiping, and Beidi.
This was Pei Gai's order, but Pei Cui did not understand Pei Gai's true intentions, so he secretly made a move to leave most of the Pei clan in the Weishui River Valley, give good land, and defend Chang'an City, where the platform is located. In this way, after more than ten years, Jingzhao Pei's family has flourished, and its prominence is even higher than that of Wenxi's own family.
At the same time, Guanzhong released the first batch of more than 200 households, that is, the land was allocated in Wenxi County, and Pei Cui drove them to the road and handed it over to his son Pei Tong to cultivate the excess cultivated land that had been separated from Pei's own family.
After this series of replacement actions were completed, Pei Tongnai came to his house again, that is, he announced Pei Gai's order, asked the elder Pei Tong to temporarily take care of the clan affairs, and then drove Pei Shuo to Guanzhong...... It is a plan to "cross the river and dismantle the bridge".
