Chapter 140: The Inheritance of Tinder
Cao Shi admired the domineering of the old princes from the bottom of his heart, and the princes of the Han family dared to say such arrogant and domineering words.
It doesn't matter if you're not convinced, I'll subdue you now until you beg for mercy,
The Han people are bullish, even if they encounter the Huns who conquered the grassland desert, they still can't make the Han people succumb to half a point under the oppression of the iron horse.
The Huns had no problem with the Han people, and could only accumulate old feuds between the two sides in the border fighting grass valley, they did not know that the Han family was preparing to launch a bloody revenge against the Xiongnu, and Liu Che, who was determined to become the first emperor of the ages, was preparing for the first conquest journey in his life.
The so-called conquest is actually a combination of taxation and obedience.
If you simply translate this sentence in ancient Chinese, it basically means, pay taxes to me, listen to my orders!
There is no doubt about the majesty and domineering of the ancients, in the dictionary of the ancient ancestors, there was never a hesitation to suppress the two strategies, nor was there the pride and complacency of self-shut-off, and some were wars, plundering, expanding and annexing, so the Xia people gradually evolved from half-farming and half-pasture to the strongest farming and warfare group.
Conquered Dongyi and established the most powerful Jiuyi army to guard the Great Xia Sheji, until the merchants suddenly rose to defeat the glory of the Great Xia for thousands of years, and from then on, the Jiuyi, who had lost its master, no longer obeyed the merchants, and held back the strong merchants until Di Xin (纣王) was defeated and committed suicide.
Paying tribute, paying tribute to the conquerors of the country's taxes, is not to pursue the dignity of the so-called Heavenly Empire, but to dominate!
When you can't destroy annexation, submit it to force, that's hegemony.
Although the Great Qin Empire fell.
But the Han people are still barbaric conquerors in their bones, and the blood of conquest is integrated into the bone marrow. The ruthlessness that came from the ancient Qin and Chu people was the root cause of the strength of the Han Empire.
Therefore, when the princes shouted out the conquest of Shengrong. When the Hehuang Plateau was occupied, no one was surprised by this.
The Gurong clan, the same kind of kinship of the Zhou people, the defeated subordinates of the Qin people, the rabble that has collapsed for hundreds of years, how can the Han people be afraid of them.
As long as they are given three times the profit, they will dare to break through even if they are swords.
This is the nature of the Han people. From the half-cultivated Xia people to the Zhou people who cultivated and warned, the Zhuxia tribe was always the most brave and fearsome warrior in the eastern land, and their fierceness was comparable to that of a lion. Their brutality ruthlessly shocked Rong Di, who belonged to the same tribe, and they occupied the Central Plains and forced Rong Di to prostrate under their feet, casting the most glorious and prosperous civilization in China.
This qiē does not rely on a mouthful of truths, but is beaten inch by inch in the most barbaric way. Millions of miles of mountains and rivers. It was a home that the brave ancestors carved out with their blood.
To this day, the martial blood in the body of the Han people is still surging, and the imprint from the most skilled warriors in ancient times has not yet dispersed, they will raise the blade in their hands, and once again embark on the road of conquerors, and use conquest to remember those bravest ancestors, this is the spiritual soul of the Xia people, the essence of the blood of the Han Dynasty!
Li Ji patted Cao Shi on the shoulder. said meaningfully: "Cao family boy, you have to remember!" There are more than 70 heavy wounds on your first Gong Cao Shen. It was a merit medal piled up with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and we were convinced by the Pingyang Hou Liehou, because your Cao family can be brave and fearless in battle, and must be brave and strong in every battle, which is the only Pingyang Hou family to become the only marquis who has been awarded the title of Marquis of Wanhu since the founding of the country! What we liehous can rely on is the bow and arrow spear in our hands, when the liehou loses them, they lose the meaning of existence, like a pinch of rotten dust scattered into the Wei River to dissipate, we must always remember, forgetting jì is the most unforgivable sin! Forgetting jì means betraying the past!"
"I understand...... I all understand that the honor of my Cao family's only marquis of ten thousand households is not given by grace, but from the blood-soaked pool little by little, I can't disgrace the glory of the ancestors, I want to promote this glory, I want to engrave the monument of the book on the monument of immortality for ten thousand years, until the prestige of the ancestors shines on the sky and the earth forever! For this, I will swear a heavy oath! Cao Shi almost gritted his teeth and said.
The old princes suddenly burst into laughter, and they smiled with relief, and some of them wept with joy and tears.
The fire that they have worked so hard to hold on to and protect is finally passed on to the hands of the next generation of leaders today.
More than 40 years ago, they also experienced a scene similar to today, the most courageous pillar of the Han family, before he died, he once summoned the younger generation of liehou children, and what he said seemed to be a copy of today.
Perhaps it is too impressive, but after decades of wind and rain, it is still fresh in its memory, and almost everyone who has experienced it can recite it in its entirety, and they will never forget it.
Even if they all die at this moment, they can bravely express their attitude to the ancestors when they go to the divine realm: "We have not insulted the prestige of the ancestors, we will pass on the fire of the Han family completely, and the young man of the Cao family will be the hope of the meritorious princes and the hope of the Han Empire!" ”
Cao Shi suddenly felt that the burden on his body was like a thousand pounds, he was burdened with the ardent expectations of the meritorious princes, and the glory and honor of his ancestors, and he had to climb a narrow mountain path until he reached the peak.
In Chang'an City, hit by the tide of money exchange, countless foreign merchants inside and outside the Beijing Division tried to take down the property of the wealthy merchants, and the hottest thing for a time was the pawn industry.
In order to repay debts, bankrupt businessmen have to take out their family property and pawn it, which is precisely the most promising piece of profit, and families with a little assets in Guanzhong will choose to bring cash to the door to negotiate business, as long as a deal is negotiated, at least a large amount of money can be made.
In this currency war, the imperial court benefited the most, followed by the noble moneylenders, and then the ordinary people of Chang'an City, and the hard-hit merchants were the only losers in this war.
The big businessmen who used to be mixed in the East City wilted one by one, and they no longer had the smug look on their faces, most of the middle and high-level rich businessmen were wiped out, and the strongest part of the big landlords and big businessmen escaped by luck, but they manipulated the price comparison trend of pod money behind the scenes, and dozens of businessmen invested heavily in gambling hundreds of billions of money.
It's a pity that the gamble failed, and the impact of the fall was far greater than imagined. These businessmen have lost as much as seventy or eighty percent of their family property, and the rest of the old people are already in crisis.
"What to do? What to do! ”
King Zhuo's grandson is almost white, and he has saved 2.5 billion yuan for many years. borrowed another 2.5 billion money to raise 5o billion money to invest in, lost nearly 2.3 billion money in less than half a month, and the remaining 2.7 billion money was not enough to repay the usury with interest, forcing him to sell his family property to tide over the difficulties, and finally survived this hurdle, the famous Linqiong Zhuo family removed nearly seventy percent of the assets, and no longer had the luxury and wealth of the year.
Seeing the rich people present, they were all depressed, as if they were mourning. Zhuo Wangsun's anger didn't hit one place: "Why did you sue me in the first place?" Say what you will make a lot of money, what you will regret for the rest of your life if you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you will lie to me alone. Two people came to lie to me, and then a group of people came to lie to me, and I took out all my savings out of embarrassment, and in the end I saw what you guys were like! ”
The wealthy businessmen were also unhappy. The big guy is not a gambler who loses billions of dollars. Why are you yelling here?
"Linqiongzhuo Wang Sun, you are also an old man who has been in business for many years, don't you understand the truth that the market is very risky? When there is a time to make money, there is a time to lose money, willing to gamble and lose this time, you don't can't afford to lose! ”
"That's it! Your family has made a lot of money by smelting iron, faster than the capital we have accumulated for several generations, you have lost 2.3 billion yuan and will be able to return to your capital sooner or later, and we don't know who to ask for the money we lost. Wouldn't we be even worse! ”
"You also call it a loss? Three generations ago, my family was a nobleman of the Six Kingdoms, and the treasures left by our ancestors were worth as much as 2o billion yuan. Under my father's painstaking management, it has doubled to 4.5 billion yuan, and I have invested all of it and borrowed 5o billion dollars in usury, and now I am insolvent and have sold all the house, land and property have not paid off the debt, and if you don't help me, I will have to sell myself as a slave to pay off the debt! ”
"Who could be worse than me! My family has saved 1.5 billion yuan for several generations, and I have invested all the money in it, not to mention, and borrowed a huge debt of 500 million yuan, even if I sell myself into slavery, I will never be able to pay it back, and if I continue like this, I will only commit suicide. ”
Once the complaint is opened, the merchants continue to pour bitter water outward, and the loss of horses is not ruthless, and the loss of dead dogs is not a big number, compared to Zhuo Wang Sun's family is quite good.
Hearing that most of his companions had lost more than himself, Zhuo Wangsun actually had a strange feeling of relief, and secretly thought that he was not the worst, and there were people who were more miserable than me.
The tide in the capital is far from over.
The loss of the wealth of the rich and powerful caused an uproar by the snowball effect.
The injured rich businessmen are not rootless, their family has thousands of servants, and they are a hegemon in the Kanto region, and many family members serve as bureaucrats at the grassroots level of the Han Empire, although most of them are county and county officials, and only a few lucky people become high-ranking officials of 2,000 stones, but this force is really not small.
The small and medium-sized bureaucrats, who had accumulated their wealth through all kinds of legal and illegal means, went bankrupt under the severe crackdown of the Shaofu, and they had reason to be angry and aggrieved.
Their anger attracted the attention of the dormant Confucians, and the Confucian scholars who had experienced two defeats seemed to have found new hope, and they walked the streets and alleys to spread jokes that attacked the prestige of the Shaofu, such as Cao Shi was born a bad species, with pus on his feet and sores on his head, and the eyes of thieves and rats looked treacherous and vicious, and all kinds of malicious slander against Cao Shi sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The funny thing is that the residents of Chang'an don't believe it!
The reason is so simple that it is explosive, although many of the theories that Confucianism said are very powerful, making people feel that the mountains are looking up and not knowing how powerful, but what Cao Shi gave them, Confucianism said that the heavens could not give it, so Confucianism was even more unreliable than Cao Shi.
Cao Shi was not afraid of Confucianism making trouble, which did not mean that he was not worried about the small and medium-sized bureaucrats getting in the way, and he suddenly thought of a move to refresh the rule of officials.
Weiyang Palace.
"Please call the virtuous and the square!"
Liu Che curiously unfolded it and looked at it, and suddenly became happy: "Your move is also a little too bad!" Those old men will hate you to death. ”
"Hehe, let them hate it! The academic battle has always been only the difference between advance and retreat, either the minister has the power to suppress them, or they have the power to suppress me, the minister thinks that he can't wait for a few more decades, step by step to sit in the position of prime minister, then he has to let the old man return to his hometown as soon as possible. Cao Shi spread his hands and looked indifferent, it wasn't his own father, there was no need to care about their attitude, even if he was half angry, it had nothing to do with him.
Liu Che liked this letter very much. He also had a faint idea in his heart to summon the virtuous and square, Cao Shi handed over this sparse music in a muffled voice, and he was really sleepy and had nothing to say about the pillow.
The edict in the history of this edict is completely different. After all, it was modified by Cao Shi himself, and it was impossible for Confucianism to easily enter it, but the regulations in the sparse music were very much in line with Liu Che's mind.
Virtuous and upright is not a personal moral cultivation, but also a dignified and upright policy of governing the country, and it is not allowed to appear pretentious and false words, and it is necessary to use strategies and strategies to solve the practical problems and hidden dangers of the Han Empire in a pragmatic and sincere manner. Even if it can't be as sharp as a wooden foot, at least it must be flat and unfussy.
The little emperor was very happy, and his eyes were all clean and refreshing. There is no mess, the big reason, the small reason is perfect.
Looking down, there are several prerequisites for recruitment.
It must be a good child of a military meritorious family who is familiar with the legal system of the Han family.
The people of Qian, who have an innocent background and have a good character.
A son of a poor family who is familiar with "Guanzi", "Theory of the Death of Qin", and "Theory of Currency" and is proficient in government affairs.
The son of a good family, the people of Qian, and the son of a poor family. It includes almost all the talent pools at the grassroots level.
In addition to the good family, the requirements are more relaxed. In addition to the privilege of taking care of the military merit system, the requirements of the common people or the children of the poor family are very harsh, and they must not have relatives with assets of 3 million in the family, and the so-called relatives are relatives within five generations.
These are listed to almost keep out the families of bureaucrats with assets, and the ruthlessness is comparable to a desperate scheme, and since you have a grudge against me, then I have to choose a group of obedient, honest and capable new bureaucrats.
"I like to have a lot of ideas! The world's talents are all in the middle. Look who else dares to look down on me! ”
Liu Che made a decision on the spot to clarify all counties and counties across the country, and required all officials to spare no effort to implement the requirements of the edict. If there is no suitable virtuous and virtuous person to recommend it, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the Taishou and the county order.
The expressions of the monarch and the minister were very funny, as if they were planning a shocking conspiracy, for fear that someone would know that the two of them had discussed a desperate plan.
At this moment, the small and medium-sized bureaucrats in Beijing are like mourners, they are depressed by the painful loss, they are angry and curse the ruthless cruelty of Shaofu, and they don't know that Cao Shi is sharpening his knife to pigs and sheep.
Cao Shi didn't expect that he hadn't caught the pig and sheep under the knife, and as soon as he left the palace gate, he encountered a highly poisonous beautiful snake blocking the way.
On the corner of a secluded street in Chang'an City, a brand-new four-horse carriage was parked, and Cao Shi was surrounded by warm fragrance and warm jade, a pair of handsome twins of twelve or thirteen years old, who were said to be beautiful girls from Guangling County, and a mouthful of beautiful Jiangnan soft language was intoxicating.
The two little girls have been cultivated little by little, since elementary school is how to serve men, and their bodies have gradually been nurtured at a young age, and the small peaks the size of pigeon eggs on his chest rubbed against his arms.
Liu Ling chuckled and said, "If the prince likes it, these two girls will be sent to the Hou Mansion." ”
Seeing the expectant look of the two little girls, Cao Shi secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous, he didn't like the little Lori who was like ribs, so he didn't hesitate to push away the two underage girls, shook his head again and again: "No need, stay by your side and serve you, there is no shortage of people in my family." ”
"Prince." Liu Ling's peach blossom eyes shone with water.
"Lord Lingweng, please speak."
"This time the concubine has made a lot of money, and it all depends on the Junhou network, thank you Junhou!"
"Lord Lingwen also lent money?" Cao Shi was surprised.
Liu Ling smiled before speaking: "The concubine's brother and uncle returned to their hometown early, leaving only the concubine to live alone in Beijing. ”
Cao Shi snorted and felt angry in his heart, his own methods couldn't hide this hateful woman after all.
He didn't think that Liu Ling had the wisdom to control a qiē, and he followed him like a spy all day long, and it was difficult to hide the big moves made by the Pingyang Hou Mansion and the Wuyang Hou Mansion.
Fortunately, she just said it casually, and Cao Shi didn't dare to sit still for a long time after dealing with a few casual words, so she sneakily got out of the carriage and ran away.
Until the person walked away, one of the twins, Lori, suddenly said: "Master Weng, is this man a piece of wood?" The maidservant and his sister's bodies were all pasted, and he didn't even reflect at all. ”
Her twin sister also showed the same expression, the two sisters have never encountered such a situation since their debut, as long as the two of them appear, they will immediately attract the attention of men, with the sisters' iconic appearance and the same appearance, the return rate on the street will definitely not be much worse than that of Liu Ling, the lord of Weng.
"Don't underestimate this little man, the influence behind him is much greater than that of Lord Ben Weng, as long as he wins the great cause of my father, it will be of immeasurable help, and I am ready to sacrifice myself at any time." Liu Ling's slender willow eyebrows frowned slightly: "It's just that I didn't expect this kid to be so vigilant, obviously just a chick, and he almost went off fire when he was seduced by me a few times, but why didn't he take the bait every time?" It's weird. ”
The twins were stunned for a moment, in their cognition, the Ling Weng Lord in front of them was an invincible powerhouse in the love field, her status was like the invincible Chu Overlord Xiang Yu on the battlefield, men always ran over with a hook of their fingers when they saw him, some men wanted to kneel down and lick Liu Ling's feet, but those people never got anything, at most they hugged the Ling Weng Lord and drank, and they didn't even have the opportunity to kiss their faces.
"Could it be that he doesn't have the ability to have sex?"
"Are you doubting my gaze? I have tried to find the real fire a few times, and I have touched it, and his capital is outstanding among men. Liu Ling gestured with both hands.
The two sisters' big eyes widened: "It's even more strange that it's so big in size, I'm afraid that the princess's wife at home won't be so careful." ”
Liu Ling snorted: "Don't talk about this, I heard that Ding Gong has already set off and is on his way to Beijing, what is Ding Gong going to Beijing for this time?" ”
"The servant doesn't know."
The twins learned assassination from Ding Gong, and only returned to Liu Ling half a year ago, even if they only learned a little fur, the two sisters played daggers like acrobatics, and Liu Ling was still amazed, and the Huaishang celebrities who professionally trained assassin rangers were almost equivalent to the identity of the emperor in that invisible underground world.
Liu Ling said worriedly: "I hope that Ding Gong will not be impulsive, the hatred of the country and the family will be more open, and don't ruin the great cause of my father!" (To be continued!)
