There are many contradictions and struggles between different political groups and princes of different feudal towns among the Han people, and there are relatively few such problems as party members as ethnic minorities. If the Han people's philosophy of struggle is to fight outside must first be at home, then the philosophy of the party is to be at home only when they are outside, and the fragility of the nomadic economic model makes the party and ethnic groups have to unite, and if they are not united, they cannot survive, and if they do not unite, the entire tribe will be eliminated in the process of strict natural selection for the survival of the fittest, and they will be completely wiped out.

However, nothing is absolute, and the unity of the party members is a fact, but the problem of unfair distribution in its slavery-based social distribution model is a problem that neither the military nor the Tuoba family can solve under the existing economic system. In an ethnic society that advocates strength, each ethnic group will instinctively choose the smartest, strongest and most capable of leading the ethnic groups to prosperity as the leader, which is fundamentally different from the primogeniture system of the Central Plains Dynasty and a series of power operation models. However, this does not mean that nomadic tribes can distribute and redistribute the means of production according to the principle of fairness and equality.

The reality of the dominance of the Tuoba family in the Dingyan Army has led to the fact that the Tuoba family has a natural priority in the division of the spoils of war and the territory of zhan, which is a matter that none of the eight tribes have objections to, but no objection does not mean that there is no problem. The Tuoba family had the most fertile pastures, occupied the most wealth-producing salt ponds, and enjoyed half of the spoils of each joint tribal military campaign, while the other seven tribal families had to share the other half. This distribution model directly led to the fact that while the leaders of the Tuoba family were rich and full of slaves, the vast majority of the other eight tribes were still in a miserable situation where they could not have enough to eat.

Every year, these tribes send troops to participate in the southward raids organized by the Dingyan Army, and one of the reasons is that these tribes need the looted grain to survive the famine period of the year, especially when the first winter is very cold, and this kind of robbery will be even more urgent, because there are so many cattle, sheep and livestock that have gone out of business in the bitter cold that if they do not find a way to get some food, many people in the whole tribe will be starved to death in the new year.

It's just that the effect of this kind of robbery is getting worse and worse, and Yanzhou, Gyeongju and other places, which were relatively wealthy, quickly became barren in the process of robbery again and again. During the Tang Dynasty, Yanzhou once had a population of 500,000 at its peak, but now it is less than one-eighth left, and even if a county is looted at one time, it is actually not much to grab. In August of the first year of Guangshun, Dangxiang went south, Zhangwu army hid in the state city to mutiny, and Dangxiang Iron Cavalry crisscrossed the territory of Yanzhou for nearly a month and a half, circled a big circle, and almost named several counties in the south in turn. If it weren't for the fact that he knew the combat strength of the Yanzhou military, in terms of the terrain of Yanzhou, such a sweeping detour was actually no different from suicide, and if it weren't for the fact that the place was too barren, Li Yiyin would never have taken the risk of doing so.

Even so, this handful of things that were snatched back was only enough for the party members to support them for a few months at most.

This is the most fundamental internal contradiction of the social form of the slave nomadic tribes with a growing population, and this contradiction is fundamentally irreconcilable as long as the party members do not make great determination to move from a nomadic society to an agrarian society.

Therefore, trade is a necessary supplement to the mode of survival for the party members.

As long as you bypass the Tuoba family, which has a strong sense of the big picture, and trade directly with other family tribes, you can easily solve all the troublesome problems. Although the central power of the Dangxiang people was canonized and recognized by the Central Plains Imperial Court, it was not a subordinate relationship with other tribal groups, so the orders of the military envoys were not valid at all times, and only when the tribes recognized them as valid. For example, in the battle of Xiazhou in the fourth year of Changxing, the aggressiveness of the Later Tang Army had already endangered the foundation of the survival of the eight tribes as a whole, so the order to call for the war of resistance would become the ****** of the whole people of the eight tribes.

The situation is different when the order of the festival harms or hinders the interests of the clan.

Exchanging grain for horses is a mutually beneficial thing for both Li * Chen Zhe and the seven major tribes, Chen Zhe can get profits, and Li * can get relatively cheap horses, and the seven major tribes can get food that can ensure the survival of the tribe and avoid the tragedy of starvation, which is really a win-win deal.

If anyone suffers a loss, the Tuoba family and the Dingyan Army Festival Dufu have suffered a loss.

However, this is not to blame others, choosing to be an enemy of the Great Zhou instead of choosing to surrender is not a wise choice, in Li *'s view, Guo Wei's appeasement policy of turning a blind eye has fueled Li Yiyin's arrogance, and it will be different if he replaced Chai Rong. Comrade Xiaochai only made a small threat, and Li Yiyin couldn't resist abandoning the Northern Han Dynasty and changing his court. In fact, relying on mutual markets and trade exchanges, the party can still get a lot of benefits, especially in such an era, when those businessmen who used ethnic minority brothers as monkeys have died out, and transactions are still relatively equal.

Chen Zhe's method is as simple as that.

Although it is simple, as a businessman, it is extremely difficult to be able to figure this matter out.

Li * sat down again, and asked, "There is still something unclear below, although Luzi Pass is controlled by Zaixia, Wei Pingguan is guarded by the soldiers in Zheya, although the distance is farther, but it is not more than ten days, if other merchants are driven over there, in the future, a large-scale bazaar will be formed in Suizhou, with Brother Chen's financial resources, the inventory may definitely not be compared to the sum of other merchants, over time, if those merchants unite to lower prices, it doesn't matter if one year is a year, it will be very different in a few years, Trade depends on word of mouth, and the volume of goods in Brother Taiwan cannot go up, and it cannot be effectively dealt with in the face of price reduction. Even if the volume of goods goes up, the end of the price reduction on both sides is just a benefit for the party, and the profits of Brother Tai and other merchants are becoming less and less. ”

Chen Zhe began to have a taste of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Li *, it is rare for a soldier to be able to see business things so clearly in these days. He replied with a smile: "My lord Mingjian, you can't make a lot of money by fighting each other, and if you want to monopolize all the profits, you can only end up being a bamboo basket and a water moon in the mirror." The grass people did not dare to occupy all the border trade, let alone make enemies with the merchants of the entire Yanzhou. Grass people don't come with other merchants. And other merchants don't have to go around Wei Pingguan so troublesomely. As long as they sell the goods to the grass people at a relatively low price, the grass people will transport these goods out of the customs to sell to the party, and then buy the party's fur and livestock and other goods at a relatively low price, and return to the customs to add a layer of profit to sell to other merchants, then these peers will not only have no loss, but also save a freight, isn't this the best of both worlds? Everyone makes money, and that's what really makes money. Making money by making others not make money or even losing money is the way to die, and the grass people don't ......take it."

Do not seek to be a trust, do not seek to monopolize market share, only to be a general agent of goods in Yanzhou...... This young man's business ideas are truly breathtaking......

Lee* laughed and nodded, and sat down steadily, knowing that this young man who could be called superior in knowledge must have the following. Since his purpose is to be the general agent, with his current cash flow, he is afraid that it will be a little difficult, and it is almost impossible not to take credit, but if he wants to take credit, it will be very difficult to support it without official background for a while.

Sure enough, Chen Zhe got up and saluted: "The grass people also ask the adults for a favor, please allow the grass people to set up a warehouse in Tumen Town, which has been abandoned for many years in the south of Luzi Guan, for the transfer of goods......

Speaking of this, he straightened up and said with a smile: "In return, the grass people are willing to take on the responsibility of transporting the grain and straw of the whole army, and they will not make the front-line soldiers lack food and grass......

Li * pondered for a moment and said, "The matter of the proclamation is easy to handle, but it is inevitable that some people will be jealous and make trouble, and Brother Chen will have a lot of trouble in the future." It's not as good as this, at this moment, there is still a letter issued by the Ministry of War for Captain Renyong, fill in Brother Chen's name, and then fill in the military position of a division counselor for Brother Chen, without Brother Chen's actual arrival, just a name. Brother Liu Heng, who negotiated with Brother Chen today, is now the secretary counselor of my former battalion, but his military rank is Captain Rong, and he is only from the ninth grade, which is one level lower than Brother Chen. In the future, all the military purchases in my front battalion will be handed over to Brother Chen to be responsible, and the cash will be bought and sold, and there will be no credit, but Brother Chen must not deceive me, in addition to the cost and freight, the plus shall not exceed half percent, Brother Chen is willing? ”

After saying this, don't talk about Chen Zhe, Chen Shutong, who had been listening to it for a long time, was stunned.

You know, Deputy Lieutenant Renyong, that is the rank of Wusan official under the ninth grade.

Chen Shutong, a serious county lieutenant in the first county of Yanzhou, is only from the rank of Jiupin.

With this appointment alone, the son has already climbed to the head of Lao Tzu.

The officers in the Zhangwu army generally have a low rank, which is the result of the times, most of the serious officials who are in the feudal towns are left to their own family children and cronies, and the grassroots officers are often high-ranking and low-ranked, Captain Renyong is already a deputy commander-level officer in the Zhangwu Army, and there are even people in other feudal towns who act as commanders with such a military rank.

"How does this work?" It was Chen Shutong, who sat next to him and listened for a long time.

Li * smiled: "Lord Chen, there is nothing to be done with this, Ling Lang solved the problem of growing grain for the army's camp, although this is not a field beheading, it is also a part of military merit, a small nine-rank military rank, Ling Lang still deserves it." ”

The little Nine Rank Martial Rank...... Chen Shutong was speechless......

The person in front of him seemed to have forgotten that he himself was just a "small" and "medie" captain of the Eight Pinxuan Festival.

In fact, strictly speaking, Li * can no longer be regarded as an eight-rank official at this moment. Captain Bapin Xuanjie is just a loose rank official rank, representing his own product, his current ministry title is Luziguan inspection envoy and former battalion commander, the former battalion commander's rank is the same as this product, but Luziguan patrol envoy is a five-grade ministry officer, which is already very unbelievable.

By the end of the Five Dynasties, most of these official positions were honorary titles, and there was no actual right to lead troops, mainly used to appease those old military leaders who had withdrawn from the army. In addition to these, there are also some subordinate officials of the staff who belong to the Jiedu envoys, but most of these subordinate officials are civilian. According to the chaotic regulations of the late Tang Dynasty, there were no observation and defense envoys in the following sections. However, for some important military towns, the commander himself can set up military division-level military units in some important areas or passes according to the need, among which the military general who is responsible for the right of defense and security in an important military region is called the catcher and guard, and the rank is second only to the judge of the festival; At a certain important pass, the military generals who are responsible for military defense work are called patrol envoys, and they are lowered from the rank of five ranks.

Since Gao Yunquan took charge of Yanzhou, this is the first time that Zhangwujun has appointed an inspection envoy.

Therefore, Gao Yunquan's move to kill people with a knife is not a completely empty glove white wolf, and Li*'s official rank has made an almost qualitative leap compared to before.

Li * arched his hand towards Chen Shutong very respectfully: "Lord Chen, Ling Lang is really a genius of the world, and his achievements in the future should be limitless, so I want to congratulate Lord Chen in advance......"

Chen Shutong's face was several times, and finally he smiled bitterly......

Chen Zhe, who was calm and radiant, looked embarrassed at the moment, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.

……

The Bianjing Imperial Court commended Li Yiyin for his "loyalty, bravery, diligence and prudence", "worrying about the king's affairs" and "the country of the feudal screen", and added Li Yiyin as the king of Longxi County to worship the edict sent to Xiazhou on the first day of the first month of March.

There are only eight words in that passage in total - except for his son Guangxing Mansion Envoy.

It's been more than two months since Tuoba Guangxing disappeared, and his companion has never returned. In the past two months, Suizhou has sent scouts and meticulous workers to search and investigate many times, and some of them have even infiltrated less than five miles away from Yanzhou City, but they have not even found a single human hair. Many people are worried that these two people may have lost their way in the snowstorm and have no idea where their bones are. Although it is ridiculous to say that he is lost as a cavalry harrier, Tuoba Guangxing, a big man who has a waste of how many catties and dominates ten thousand cities, is still quite clear. It's unlikely that there will be other harriers, but this Tuoba Young Master can't say for sure......

Guangxing actually fell into the hands of Bianliang......

Li Yiyin is very aware of the weight of this edict, no matter how much he denies it, the king and the prime minister will inevitably attract the attention of the world, and it is impossible for Taiyuan to ignore it. If it's just like this, it's not difficult to deal with, and it's okay to explain what didn't happen in the first place, but my own son actually entered Beijing as a hostage envoy to the military house, and I'm afraid that this matter will not be easy to explain. Telling a lie naturally doesn't work, telling the truth is humiliating is secondary, the problem is that the truth is more unbelievable than a lie. The son of a dignified envoy was actually arrested alive as a scout, and Taiyuan would never believe this fact.

Li Yiyin didn't have a ruthless heart, so he didn't give birth to this son, and beheaded the messenger who sent the edict to Taiyuan, although this move would definitely lead to his son being cut off, but he could successfully resolve his doubts and smash the conspiracy of Bianliang.

But after reading this envoy who sent the edict, Li Yiyin dispelled this idea. This time, Bianliang was a king and a worship, and the chips were added one more layer than last year, but the envoy sent by the edict was really more than one level worse than the original, in addition to the crown and robe, the envoy had a dark complexion and wrinkled face, the teeth in his mouth had fallen out, his speech was leaky, his knuckles were thick, he had a northern accent, and he didn't even know the words, and the edict was handed over to Li Yiyin himself.

Guo Wei and Wang Jun actually grabbed a farmer who was farming to deliver the edict, which was really too bad......

Whether this person is a person or this head, it is impossible for Taiyuan to believe it, who can believe that the dignified central court will send a peasant to be an envoy to the edict?

Li Yiyin himself didn't believe it.

In addition, the weather this winter was too cold, a heavy snow caused heavy losses to every tribe, and the dead cattle, sheep and livestock were still being counted, but Li Yiyin could imagine that it was by no means a number that could make people feel happy.

"The head of the family, are you still worried about things in Taiyuan?" A middle-aged man in the costume of the party clan walked up, his face was delicate, a few strands of long hair fluttered on his chest, there was no beard of ordinary party members, but there was a bright and wise smile in his eyes.

This person who uses the language of the party to manage Tuoba Yi Yin as the "head of the family" is the judge of the festival of the Dingyan Army, the number one Han strategist under the command of Tuoba Yi Yin, Chu Weiyan, the word Spring and Autumn, is the descendant of Chu Suiliang, a famous minister of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty, in the early Tang Dynasty, because of the involvement of the eldest grandson Wuji in the rebellion, the children of the Chu family were all moved to Lingnan, and only one side fled to Mobei and lived in seclusion, Chu Weiyan is the descendant of this department.

Tuoba Yi Yin frowned: "If Fuzhou and Linzhou are not taken down, the convenience of our clan is not stable, and it will be delayed to go south, seeing that the Gao family is weak and incompetent, but they can't let go and collect their land...... It's hard...... If there is no cooperation from Taiyuan, I am afraid that I will not be able to take Fuzhou with the strength of our clan......"

Chu Weiyan was silent for a moment and said, "I'm just afraid...... There have also been some changes in Yanzhou? ”

"Huh?"

Chu Weiyan sighed and said, "There is a scout report, Luzi Pass and Weiping Pass are two places, and they started repairing the wall a few days ago......"

Tuoba Yi Yin stood up and shouted, "The Digger has entered Yanzhou?" ”
