Chapter 187: First Arrival in Bozhou

"Brother Chen Fei, I heard that there is a lot of spring water in Jinan, isn't that so?" Li Li asked curiously.

Chen Fei in the car could only say: "We are not going to Jinan this time, but the state next to Jinan, which is called Bozhou." But if you have the opportunity, I will definitely take you to Jinan to see the spring there, after all, I heard that there is Baotu Spring in Jinan! ”

"Baotu Spring? Where is it? Li Li asked.

"I don't know! It's just a matter of hearing about it. Chen Fei sighed and said.

"Then Brother Chen Fei must take me and Sister Wanrou with you!" Li Lizhi said.

Chen Fei has mixed tastes in his heart, where do he have the heart to see what spring water! Now Chen Fei is on his way to Bozhou, although Chen Fei is very reluctant to go to Bozhou, but he is still forced by these unscrupulous bigwigs to go to Bozhou to work. Although this Shandong area is a wolf's den, it is also a very good place, and it was economically developed in ancient times. Although there are many scholars here, they are rich people after all, and they are all able to have enough economic conditions to develop the economy, and they are relatively wealthy after years of accumulation.

In addition, Shandong is located in the Central Plains, the grain products are very high, since ancient times, the Central Plains is also the important land of China, has an incomparable status. Therefore, the competition for hegemony in the world also has the title of competing for the Central Plains. There are abundant products here, and the people are living quite well. In addition, those Shi landlords were different from those later landlords, although they monopolized the officialdom, at least they would not exploit the people too much, which was much better than the later landlord class. However, it is also because of them that the land is too concentrated, so that many people have no place to stand.

"Let's go inside!" Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei walked to the state city of Bozhou, which is the later Liaocheng. However, Liaocheng at this time was not the Liaocheng with millions of people in later generations, and the current Liaocheng was just a county seat of 50,000 or 60,000 people with tens of thousands of people. Chen Fei walked into this county town and took a look, it was relatively wealthy.

And Chen Fei came here to work, in fact, he had a special mission. But now Chen Fei doesn't know what the special mission is. And this is the legendary kung fu outside the play, Chen Fei's position of joining the army in Bozhou this time is just a job on the surface, but there is actually another job. But Du Ruhui didn't say it at all, so Chen Fei didn't know at all. And Chen Fei also got Du Ruhui's statement that this time the matter was actually related to the Qinghe Cui family.

The Qinghe Cui clan is the head of the seven clans and five surnames in the world, and the popularity of the people is stronger than that of the Tang Dynasty, which is the power of the scholar clan. And Qinghe Cui's is also in the state next to it, that is, Beizhou. In the past, Beizhou was also called Qinghe County. Beizhou is currently the base camp of the Qinghe Cui clan, and the place of absolute control. In Beizhou, the words of the head of the Qinghe Cui family are more useful than the emperor's holy decree, so it is like a kingdom. And Du Ruhui did not choose to place Chen Fei in Beizhou, but arranged him in Bozhou. Bozhou is the neighboring state capital of Beizhou, although it is close to Beizhou, but it will not be too exciting for the Qinghe Cui family. According to the long-standing tradition, the imperial court rarely and directly sent officials to serve in Beizhou. Generally, the Qinghe Cui clan sent the list, and then the imperial court posthumously recognized it. And the imperial court just sent a false thorn history as an embellishment to show the rule of the imperial court.

Because of this, Li Shimin in order not to stimulate this Qinghe Cui clan. Therefore, Chen Fei was only sent to the neighboring state capital to serve as a recorder to join the army, and was not directly sent to Beizhou. However, Chen Fei's secret mission this time is definitely related to the Qinghe Cui family, but he doesn't know what he wants to do.

"Brother Chen Fei. It's more prosperous here than Shuo County! Li Lizhi said.

Chen Fei said with certainty: "This is Shandong, which has been a developed place since ancient times. The rich economic conditions of Shandong here have also given birth to many cultural celebrities. It's like Confucius and Confucius. They are also from Shandong. If there is no good enough economic level, culture cannot develop. ”

Chen Fei knew that the current scholars were all concentrated in Shandong, and it was definitely not accidental. In later generations, Hebei and Shandong were located in the Central Plains, and the economic conditions were very good, so more people could take a leave of absence to study. This is also a law, if the economy is not good, education will naturally not be able to develop. How can human beings be able to read when they are not able to maintain food and clothing? As for those who really prefer to study rather than starve to death, this kind of person is either crazy or stupid, and it is definitely not the mainstream of society. In the final analysis, it is still a sentence, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, Shandong has fertile land, coupled with the cultural inheritance since ancient times, so it has created the current Shandong scholars. And it is normal for the Shandong scholars to influence the world and monopolize officialdom through culture.

Although Li Lizhi didn't understand what Chen Fei was talking about, she knew that it was very rich here, and it was not much compared to Chang'an. However, Li Lizhen didn't know how dangerous their situation was when they came to Shandong this time, and I am afraid that Li Lizhen would have become Chen Fei's talisman.

"Brother Chen Fei, are you going to take office?" Li Wanrou suddenly asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look at the people around me. After all, when I came to Bozhou, of course I wanted to see what the people thought. In particular, how they view the Shi clan is related to our future success or failure. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how the people perceived the scholars. Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei first wanted to see how the people thought of these scholars, and if the people opposed these scholars, then everything would be easy to say. Chen Fei was afraid that these people would support the Shi clan, and if these people supported the Shi clan, that would be the most troublesome thing. This time, Chen Fei and Cui Shi are afraid that there will be some contradictions, so if Chen Fei wants to gain the support of the people at that time, it will be difficult. In case the people were on the side of the scholars, Chen Fei would probably be thankless to deal with the scholars. If Chen Fei and the Shi clan face each other at that time, it will really be shouted and beaten by the people. Therefore, the attitude of the people towards the scholars determines how Chen Fei behaves, which is very important.

"Brother Chen Fei, these scholars will definitely not win the hearts of the people, they often oppose their father, it is impossible to win the hearts of the people!" Li Lizhi said.

Chen Fei was speechless, and his lack of popularity had something to do with whether he was against the emperor or not, perhaps only Li Lizhen, an immature princess, said so. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
