When Wei Ba was in the army, he was like brothers with Guan Xing, Zhang Shao and others, and he spoke so openly, and even deliberately rude, so as to conform to the character of a man in the army. When men talk to men together, it is inevitable to joke about men and women, and when it comes to being honest with each other, they must add four words as a prefix, otherwise it will not be lively enough. Guan Feng is Guan Xing's sister, the martial arts atmosphere is quite strong, and she has fought with Wei Ba several times, Wei Ba unnaturally treats her as a brother, and naturally says the usual mantra at this moment. When the words came out, I remembered that Guan Feng was a woman after all, these four words were somewhat inappropriate, and it was even more embarrassing to be intimate with Xiahou Hui and listened to by Guan Feng just now.

Guan Feng was also a little embarrassed, but when she saw Wei Ba's embarrassed look, she also knew that he didn't mean to flirt, it was just a habit, but she didn't blame him, but she was embarrassed to take the initiative to speak, and she didn't know how to say it, so she walked forward silently.

The two came to the backyard and went up to the second floor, Guan Feng saw at a glance that there was a huge seal script "Wu" written on the front wall, the aura was majestic and simple, and the heroic spirit came to the face, and there was a case below, and there was a war knife on the case, which was the ten thousand enemies that Guan Yu had used. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then her eyes turned red. She walked quickly to the desk, reached out and stroked the scabbard, and burst into tears.

Wei Ba stood quietly behind her, silent.

After a long time, Guan Feng turned around, looked at Wei Ba with a solemn expression, and smiled sadly: "Ziyu, even if this knife is in my Guan family, it is not so respected. Moreover, my father was defeated and died, and those people did not say anything. I don't know how to despise him. Aren't you asking for trouble for yourself with this knife here? ”

Wei Ba shook his head: "This is the important place of my Wei family, ordinary people have no chance to come here, of course they won't see this." This is one of them; Ancient famous generals, who is undefeated? Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and our generation cannot judge heroes by victory or defeat. What's more, Guan Hou's army defeated Maicheng, the reason is complicated, and it is not a crime of war. How others despise him, that's their business, my Wei family father and son have never thought about it like this. ”

"Really?" Guan Feng's eyes slanted. There was something wrong with his look.

Wei Ba blinked. Hehe smiled: "Of course, I used to be arrogant and ignorant, and I said something disrespectful to Guan Hou. At that time, I was not sensible, so my sister should not take it to heart. ”

"Count yourself honest." Guan Feng's face softened at this time. Walk slowly to the bookshelf next to it. Looked at the books of war that had been collected. There are four types of military books in this era: military power and strategy. Soldier situation, soldier skills, soldier yin and yang. The first two categories are about strategy and tactics. The art of command, the latter two categories are military jishu. There are many military books in each category, and of course Wei Ba cannot collect them all, in fact, Wei Yan himself mainly focuses on the "Wu Qi Art of War", focusing on military training, and the Wei family military soldiers are trained according to the standards of Wei Wushu. In addition, Wei Yan is heavy on tactics and likes to win by surprise, but he is relatively weak in strategy, and his understanding of the military holy book "Sun Tzu" is very limited.

After Wei Ba presided over the affairs of the Wei family, he collected a lot more books than before, and the variety was a little richer, which can be regarded as an achievement. This is also one of the reasons why Mrs. Zhang looks at him differently.

"You have a lot of military books here, but your vision is not enough." Guan Feng looked around and said straight to the point: "You are limited to the book of soldiers, but you forget that the use of soldiers is just one aspect of governing the country. If you are only limited to the art of war, you are just a general, a pawn in the hands of others. ”

Wei Ba asked very sincerely: "Then sister recommend some." ”

"The Six Classics of Confucianism, the first recommendation of "Yi", you can enter the martial arts with Yi, you must have an understanding of "Yi", but Weishenme didn't see "Yi" here, or are you hiding and not showing people easily?"

Wei Ba smiled bitterly: "I really don't understand the Book of Changes." ”

"Really?" Guan Fengqi said: "Can you turn straight into a curve and create a round strength, but you can't make it easy?" ”

"I really don't understand, if there is a false word, I will not die well."

"Okay, don't bet on me, I don't believe you." Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "This matter will be known in the future." In addition to Yi, the most important classic of Confucianism is naturally the Spring and Autumn Period, and you should take a moment to read the Spring and Autumn Period, especially the Zuo Chuan Spring and Autumn Period, which will be very helpful for you to understand the general trend of the world. ”

Wei Ba understood, Guan Gong is not just good at reading "Spring and Autumn", so it is natural for Guan Feng to respect "Spring and Autumn" so much. In fact, although he knew little about the Confucian classics, he also knew that the Spring and Autumn Period played a pivotal role in the Han Dynasty classics.

"You have limited time, and it will not be easy for you to read these two scriptures well."

Wei Ba laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Thought I was joking? ”

"It's not." Wei Ba rubbed his nose and couldn't help laughing: "It's rare for others to pass through one scripture, but my sister actually let me pass through two scriptures, which is really too high for me." ”

Guan Feng didn't smile: "I'm not asking you to exegesis words and be a doctor, just to let you know its meaning, what's impossible about the two scriptures?" The Xixi Li Xun invited by your family is familiar with the Five Classics, and he is also proficient in Zhuzi, and he is a generalist. Do you have such a haode sir, weishenme not to consult? Is it just to ask some naughty children to teach? That's a shame. It's you who really should be reading. ”

Wei Ba was stunned, and then said ashamedly: "Sister is right, I thought badly. ”

"Mistakes can be changed, and children can be taught." Guan Feng deliberately praised in an old-fashioned manner, and then couldn't help laughing: "Okay, let's talk about something serious." Although reading is a pleasure, you must first solve the problem of eating and dressing, and you can't worry about someone calling your door every day. Liu Yan's matter, how are you going to solve it? ”

Wei Ba frowned: "Since you can't hide, you can only go head-on." I'm going to find a suitable opportunity to dig a big hole and bury their father and son completely. ”

"Of course, it's a good thing to be able to use a strategy, but with the number of your soldiers, are you sure of victory?"

"Nope." Wei Ba honestly admitted: "The biggest problem is here, I am short of troops and overstretched. ”

"This is inevitable, otherwise Prime Minister Weishenme will transfer you to Chengdu." Guan Feng seems to have been prepared. She walked to the window, leaned on the windowsill, looked at the mountains in the distance, and after a while, she continued: "But do you know that Chengdu has never been short of people. ”

Wei Ba didn't react for a while, what does it mean that Chengdu has never lacked people?

Seeing that Wei Ba didn't answer for a long time, Guan Feng turned his head suspiciously, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Wei Ba's blank face. "I forgot. You have been in Chengdu for a few days. I don't know much about the situation in Chengdu. ”

"Please also ask my sister for advice."

"Chengdu is the largest city in Yizhou, with a large population, so naturally there are many nomads." Guan Feng explained the situation in a soft and slow voice. The source of Chengdu's prosperity has been for a long time, starting from the Warring States period when the Qin general Sima wrongly attacked Shu. Chengdu is a thriving place. Zhang Yi built a city here. Since then, there have been continuous additions. At the peak of the Han Dynasty, there were 70,000 households in Chengdu, with nearly 300,000 people. From Liu Yan to Shu. Chengdu has had many military rebellions and a lot of population losses, but it is still the number one city in Shudi.

Among them, a considerable part of the population was in the big city, which is now Miyagi.

Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, taking Dacheng as the palace city, and some of the officials who were originally in Dacheng moved out, and of course ordinary people could not stay in the city. Although the imperial court gave some subsidies, the losses were still not small, especially some families who were not very wealthy, because of this relocation, they were basically in a state of bankruptcy.

In addition, arable land around Chengdu is already limited, and most people rely on industrial and commercial services for their livelihoods. After Zhuge Liang came to power, most of the industry and commerce were brought under the imperial court, and even those workshops left behind were sold and could not operate independently. As a result, the imperial court controlled a large amount of wealth, quickly stabilized the situation in Chengdu, and laid the economic foundation for his southern and northern expeditions. However, the people who had made a living from it have become even more impoverished, and in addition to some people who are barely making ends meet, many have also become displaced people. In order to earn a bite to eat, these displaced people can only go to government or private workshops to do some odd jobs, do the heaviest work, but can only get the least pay, struggling on the edge of life and death.

Hearing this, Wei Ba suddenly remembered the migrant workers, and also remembered the "Pipe" he had just read. That's right, Zhuge Liang's economic thinking is to focus on the state-run economy, and all the things that make money are in the hands of the government, so that the government has enough financial resources, but the people are poor because of this, just like the migrant workers in the previous life, who contributed to the take-off of the economy, but did not get the due remuneration.

And Zhuge Liang is better than ordinary people in that he did not regard those migrant workers as a factor of social unrest, and did not use the chengguan to demolish their illegally built grass huts to maintain the appearance of the city. Those displaced people have not yet reached the point where they can't live, so they are also quite grateful to the Prime Minister. You must know that when Liu Bei entered Shu, he was like a robber, and he divided the wealth accumulated by Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son for many years, and almost even distributed the surrounding fields and real estate to the generals, so Chengdu's economy was on the verge of collapse and prices soared. Liu Ba later gave a bad move, cast a hundred dollars, and continued to exploit the people, Liu Bei survived the difficulties, but Chengdu's economy deteriorated further, leaving Zhuge Liang with a mess, and the sequelae have not been completely eliminated to this day. Zhuge Liang spent a few years governing Chengdu without causing chaos, which is already very rare.

"Sister, do you mean to recruit tribes from those outcasts?"

Guan Feng smiled and gently rolled up his sleeves. "How, is this suggestion worth it Hello Haode fight with me?"

Wei Ba smiled bitterly: "No, sister, you said that, you just want to fight me?" ”

"So what do you think I'm here for?" Guan Feng said as a matter of course: "Liu Yan wants to find trouble with you, not for me. It's no good, am I so attentive? I also told you that there are no outsiders here, if you still refuse to do your best, don't blame me for smashing your Wei family to a pulp. I'd like to see if you're willing to give it your all when the time comes. ”

Wei Ba's eyes widened: "I said sister, it's just a martial arts competition, is it so serious?" ”

The smile on Guan Feng's face slowly faded, solemn. "Martial arts may be insignificant to you, but for me, it is one of the few pursuits, do you say it is not?" (To be continued......)
