Section 1138 The Transformation of the Gentleman
A few days later, the convoy entered Guanzhong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After entering Guanzhong, the two brothers, Chen Xu and Chen Huan, suddenly felt a little hairy in their hearts.
There is even a feeling of upside down hairs and goosebumps all over my body.
In particular, the closer they get to Chang'an, the stronger their feelings become.
And when they approached Weiqiao and the outline of Chang'an City appeared in front of them, Chen Huan even had an urge in his heart to turn the horse's head and flee back to Anton!
In fact, this city called Chang'an carries too many memories for them.
Especially in those youthful years, the memories of frivolity and ignorance, childishness and debauchery, make them feel a little ashamed when they think about it at this moment.
But more importantly, ......
Both brothers recalled the figure of the woman who ruled their lives, their mother.
The princess of the pavilion pottery.
One of the highest-ranking and most powerful women in the Han family.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is a graceful and luxurious lady.
But in the eyes of the two brothers, their mother, like a prehistoric beast, made them tremble from the depths of their souls.
For others, returning home with wealth and showing off is a rare opportunity to pretend to be forced.
But for these two brothers, they would rather give up this opportunity and never return to Chang'an, rather than face the mother who was too terrible for them.
Pity......
It's impossible.
There was no way, the two brothers had to bite the bullet and reluctantly follow the team towards Chang'an City.
Crossing the turbulent Wei River from the Wei Bridge has already entered the scope of Chang'an City.
Compared with a few years ago, when they left Chang'an, the suburbs of Chang'an at this time have completely changed.
Tall waterwheels stand on both sides of the river, and in the fields of Qianmo Lianye, farmers have already appeared at this time.
The popularization and development of winter wheat has brought earth-shaking changes to the agricultural economic and social institutions in Guanzhong.
And with the continuous development of winter wheat cultivation technology, various tools are constantly being developed.
Today, the peasants in Guanzhong can already use 50 acres of land to feed the population who used to need 100 acres of land to feed.
Therefore, just because wheat can solve the problem of food and clothing, the planting area of wheat has expanded rapidly.
Today, seventy percent of the land in Guanzhong has been planted with winter wheat.
But unlike drought-tolerant and flood-tolerant corn, which does not require much effort to take care of.
Winter wheat needs better farming practices, more manpower care, and better irrigation practices.
Therefore, the people need to invest more time and energy in the land.
Fortunately, because of the progress of technology and the innovation of tools, in fact, the physical strength required to cultivate 100 acres of winter wheat today is essentially the same as that of cultivating 100 acres of corn in the past.
Therefore, the social model of one man and five people ruling all fields is still operating normally.
However, in some places, it has been shown that this social model is in transition.
Especially in those places where the workshop industry is developed.
Today, people only need to cultivate half of the land in the past to maintain or even exceed the grain production of the past.
This made many low-level people, in their spare time and farming, begin to join the workshop, selling their labor in exchange for five baht to subsidize their families.
And these people are basically tenants in the past.
Industry and commerce began to compete with agriculture for population.
However, Chen Huan and his entourage could not see these problems and contradictions hidden at the grassroots level in Guanzhong.
What they saw was a grand occasion comparable to the legendary reign of three generations.
In the entire Guanzhong, almost every household's warehouse is full of all kinds of grain.
In Guanzhong, for the first time, the food and clothing of most people have been guaranteed - even landless farmers, as long as they are not lazy, they can fill the stomachs of the whole family by going to work in the workshop or going to the forest garden to farm.
Therefore, when today's royal literati Sima Xiangru once proudly wrote: Now that the holy king is on the throne, the world is governing, Xiaoyi still hides thousands of families, the rice is fat and the corn is white, and there are no jackals and tigers on the roads of Kyushu......
Seeing such a prosperous world, he also sighed from the bottom of his heart: "The Chinese emperor must be a god and a man!" β
Who else but God can create such a fantasy utopia?
As for the soldiers who were made up of immigrants, they were all proud, and everyone straightened up.
Because, this is our Shenjing!
Today's Guanzhong may not be tomorrow's world!
Chen Xu and Chen Huan brothers are also full of emotion.
Beyond the manor area on the outskirts of the city, the city wall of Chang'an City is already close at hand.
Dahonglu Gongsun Kunxie connected Bo Shi and his party to Chang'an City at the city gate.
After entering the city, he was immediately placed in the bus office, and then he was carefully protected as if he were rolling.
He needs to undergo basic etiquette training at the bus office, and then, Da Honglu will carefully select a good day and auspicious day, and let him, the right virtuous king of the Huns, personally present his recital to the Son of Heaven in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
And Bo Shi took Chen Xu and Chen Huan through the north que and entered the palace wall of Weiyang Palace.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The governor of Andong and the county of Huaihua County respectfully ask Your Majesty Sheng'an!"
"The governor of the western part of the Imperial Protectorate must ask Your Majesty St. Ann!"
"The Governor of the Northwest Governor of the Protectorate of the Governor of the Governor's Mansion, the Governor of the Governor's Mansion, and the Governor of the Governor of the Empire, the Governor of the Governor's Mansion, the Governor of the T
Liu Che sat at the top of the Xuanshu Hall and looked at the three people kneeling in the hall.
Bo Shi went back to Chang'an to report on his work last year, so in Liu Che's impression, he has not changed much.
It's Chen Xu and Chen Huan's brothers, and the changes can almost be described as earth-shattering.
In Liu Che's impression, this pair of brothers-in-law is not so much a living treasure as a teasing.
They used to be the four evils of Chang'an, and they were the sons and daughters of hundreds of people who made hundreds of people tremble.
Jin Zhizhou, when he was young, was not as good as them!
The glorious history of these two scum scum is uncountable.
The most typical thing is that they actually did the terrible thing of taking people's money, but not doing things for others, and in the end, things got bigger, and they wanted black people's money.
Its low discipline and moral degradation made the entire nobles of the world dumbfounded.
But now, these two people have been reborn and completed a new life.
Their once thin bodies are now extremely strong, burly figures, not inferior to any generals, and they all have beards on their lips, and they look like mature men.
"Qing and others are ......" Liu Che raised his hand with a smile, and then stood up, walked to Chen Xu and Chen Huan's side, looked at the two brothers, and asked, "Chen Xu, Chen Huan, the habits of the two of you in Anton?" β
"Returning to Your Majesty, being loyal to the king, not to mention whether you are used to it or not, I think that it is worth it to serve Your Majesty no matter how hard and tired it is!" Chen Xu said.
Yo!
Liu Che raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
You must know that when the two brothers were driven to Anton, they were splashing and rolling, refusing to go, and in the end, it was Liu Che who added carrots with a stick to reluctantly let them agree to go to Anton.
Especially Chen Xu, Liu Che remembers clearly that back then, he was completely a naΓ―ve and extremely ridiculous kid!
Typical Nisezu and rice worms.
However, he has now learned to slap the horse like a typical bureaucrat!
It's so rare!
If the Empress Dowager Dou of the East Palace knew, she would probably cry with joy!
Pavilion Tao has to give himself a one-ton certificate!
"The minister is also ......" Although in private, although the two brothers are not incompatible, they are also a typical-for-tat, but, at this moment, Chen Huan still maintains a brother, friend and brother respectful appearance, and said very well-behaved: "Ministers and other brothers, when His Majesty did not give up, inspired by benevolence, after Anton, he changed his past wrongs, and he has today's meager merits, and the ministers are grateful, only for His Majesty to serve and die, in order to repay His Majesty's kindness!" β
These words immediately made the other ministers in the entire hall listen to them, and they all looked at each other.
Many people think of the unsuccessful second ancestors in their own families!
Thinking back then, Chen Xu Chen Huan was more, more debauched, and almost hopelessly scum than the second ancestors of his family.
But today, the two brothers who were pointed out by Qianfu back then, who abandoned ghosts and hated gods, seem to have grown into the pillars of the Han family.
Then, the loser of his own family should be able to be saved!
Many people have the idea of sending their unsuccessful scum sons to the jungles of South Vietnam in the south or Andong in the northeast to endure hardships and exercise.
Even if it still doesn't work, it won't hurt much!
What if you work out?
Isn't that earned?
But Liu Che knew that in fact, the two brothers still did not change their nature in essence.
It's just that they've shifted their attention elsewhere.
You don't need to look at anything else, just look at the white bones of the widows at Chen Huan's feet and the Xianbei and Wuheng slaves who died in Chen Xu's hands.
You know, they're still the same scum brothers they used to be.
They are just turning the targets of violence from compatriots in the past to aliens.
But, in itself, this is a huge step forward.
Liu Che even planned to let this brother go to the grassland or the Western Regions in the future to correct the three views of the Huns or the countries of the Western Regions.
Let them know that China has both royal benevolence and angry eyes!
"I remember that back then, when the two Aiqing left Beijing, I promised you something......" Liu Che said lightly: "You have no jokes, today, you and other brothers have made meritorious contributions as promised, and I will not break my promise!" β
Liu Che took out two jade pendants from his arms, handed them to Brother Chen Xu, and said, "This thing, the two Aiqing will take it!" β
Chen Xu and Chen Huan hurriedly and respectfully took the two jade pendants and carefully put them away closely.
Redeem the token, this is a great thing!
In the future, you may be able to save your life!
Of course, they also know that the symbolic meaning of this thing is greater than the actual significance, because it is really going to provoke the Son of Heaven, let alone avoid death!
Even the edict of the first emperor is also a piece of waste paper!
Because, the Han family has never had any iron scrolls that are exempt from death, and there is nothing that can exempt them from all punishments.
If you really want that kind of thing, the first one who doesn't do it must be the Imperial Doctor, and then, the court captain will also strike!
For the Han family, the law is the law.
Although the Son of Heaven has the privilege of pardoning criminals, until then, the procedures that should be followed still have to be followed, and the punishment that should be imposed still has to be sentenced.
The sentence is then pardoned, and the minister can accept it.
But to pardon before the verdict is to trample on the law and the ancestral system.
The entire Legalist family would rather die in the struggle.
The old Huang school also absolutely dares to stiffen his neck.
Qingliu is a creature that is not exclusive to Confucianism.
In fact, there is a clear stream in any school.
That is, the so-called fundamentalists!
Now, Chen Xu and Chen Huan are not the unlearned and unskilled children of the past.
In fact, the two of them have read a lot of books, actively or passively, in the past few years, and under their hands, they each have staff and think tanks to analyze and give advice to them.
Therefore, they are no longer the gentlemen who only know how to be chic and happy before, Second Ancestor.
Instead, he has evolved into a man who is knowledgeable and educated, understands laws and allusions, and has a huge interest group.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid that hooligans will be able to do martial arts, you are afraid that hooligans will be educated.
And the Chen Xu and Chen brothers have almost evolved to the top of the gentlemen's disciples and have become characters similar to Nan Batian.
If it continues, the future may not be able to leave a strong mark in the history books.
Liu Che doesn't care about the moral level and character of these two brothers.
All he knew was that the two brothers had done a good job in the past few years!
Especially Chen Huan, it's a surprise!
Neon was completely turned into RBQ by him, kneaded at will, and the Japanese slaves were squeezed and exploited by him to his heart's content, but it still made the Japanese slaves grateful-following Chen Huan, although they lost their freedom, they still had to perform heavy manual labor.
But......
I can eat enough!
That's enough!
For today's Japanese slaves, a place where they can eat enough, no matter how hard and tired they are, they will not escape.
Actually, don't say it's now.
Two thousand years later, the neon warriors couldn't even eat enough rice balls, and then they were hired by Chinese smugglers to become the so-called Japanese smugglers.
In essence, the Japanese who were hired and driven by the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants were no different from the Japanese slaves who fell, cultivated, and refined whale oil under Chen Huan today.
Maybe Chen Huan's treatment here is a little better, at least, Chen Huan's subordinates are just a little tired and bitter, but they will definitely not suddenly appear a Qi Jiguang, open Wushuang, and code their heads into Jingguan.
Moreover, under Chen Huan, their descendants have the opportunity to integrate into the Chinese civilization system and become a glorious Zhuxia people.
So, in fact, the Japanese slaves are earned.
After all, if they were on their own, they would have to go through at least a thousand years of darkness before they could usher in the dawn of civilization.
Then, relying on the indoctrination and teaching of his father in the Tang Dynasty, he learned how to be a civilized person.
But now, they only need to pay the sacrifice of one or two generations to run into feudal society, and it is the highest form of feudal society: China.
"The Empress Dowager, I'm waiting for you to say hello......" Liu Che said: "Hurry up and say hello to the Empress Dowager, she has been thinking about you!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
I had something to do today, and I didn't get home until ten o'clock, so it was late!
The second update, I will continue to write, and then it will be scheduled until eight o'clock tomorrow morning~
So, that's it for today, 12,000 tomorrow! (To be continued.) )
