Chapter 23: Differences

"That's amazing."

Zhang Hua sat in front of Cao Chao, his thoughts seemed to be still in that Taixue, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Guo Zhi also nodded.

They were truly eye-opening.

Cao Chao looked much more comfortable, and he said with a smile: "People who can open up a school of doctrine are naturally powerful. ”

At the moment, they were sitting in the restaurant that Cao Chao always liked to go to.

The owner of the restaurant bought the house on the left, opened up the two houses, hung a signboard outside, and added seats, which was also lively.

The man's dress was also different from the past, he was no longer dressed as a peasant, he looked more like a merchant, and it was no longer his children who walked around, and he also hired two servants.

There are also more people coming here, all kinds of people.

Cao Chao looked at all this and felt a sense of accomplishment.

He wanted not only to increase the tax revenue of the temple, but also to improve the quality of life of the people.

As far as it seems now, the quality of life of the people in Luoyang has improved a lot anyway.

Being able to have spare money to eat at a restaurant illustrates this point.

At this moment, a group of people walked into the restaurant.

The appearance of this group of people made the originally lively restaurant suddenly silent.

The group of people who came in had a peculiar hairstyle and dressed differently from the people in the Central Plains.

But they were not Huns, they used animal fur around their necks, which was different from the Huns' dress.

The moment they appeared, Zhang Hua couldn't help but say, "Xianbei people." ”

Cao Chao was a little stunned, it was the first time he saw Xianbei people, and he couldn't help but look at the people who came in.

Looking at the appearance of these people, in fact, there is not much difference, that is, the cheekbones are slightly higher, the eye sockets are slightly deeper, and they are different from the Huns.

There were five of them, and they were leading horses, and they were full of things on their backs.

This makes their identity clear at a glance, Hu Shang.

When they appeared, the little guy was a little vigilant in front of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can't bring horses in here."

The men immediately began to talk, but the crowd could not understand them, and soon, one of them looked at the little servant and asked, "Where is the horse?" ”

"There's no place for horses inside or outside."

The little guy replied.

In fact, it's not that there is nothing, it's just that they don't want to cause trouble, and there are not many Hu merchants in Luoyang.

However, the difference is still obvious.

After the Wei State set up the Changshi Mansion in the Western Regions and canonized the kings of the Western Regions, Hu Shang of the Western Regions occasionally appeared in Luoyang.

But the Xianbei people are not on the canonized list.

The only Xianbei people who enjoy such treatment are the Xianbei Department in Liaodong, who were canonized because they helped Sima Yi fight, so they can be considered their own people.

But these few in front of him are not Liaodong Xianbei at all.

The Xianbei people in Liaodong can be seen at a glance, their degree of sinicization is extremely high, and they like to wear crowns, so they won't dress up so weirdly.

Cheng Jidu had already stood up, and those strong men in the distance also secretly picked up their weapons.

Cao Chao was extremely curious at the moment.

He smiled and beckoned, "Help them lead the horses, give them some food, and the one who is the leader, you come over and sit with me for a while." ”

Those few people only noticed Cao Chao at this moment, and the little guy didn't dare to disobey this nobleman, so he hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse.

And the one who is the leader has a very difficult face to see at the moment.

He sat helplessly in front of Cao Chao.

Cao Chao said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I won't rob you of your things, I have a lot of money, and I don't like your things, but I'm curious, I want to talk to you, maybe eat?" ”

The man shook his head vigilantly, "I don't know how to eat." ”

"How can a husband not drink?!"

Cao Chao waved his hand and insisted on bringing wine.

"In this mansion, there are at least more than 100 of my people, if you want to kill you, do you still need to poison the wine?"

Only then did the Hu man pick up the wine, salute Cao Chao, and then drank it all.

Cao Chao nodded and asked, "Are you from Hexi?" ”

"Bald?"

Hu Ren nodded and replied, "It's bald Xianbei." ”

Cao Chao's eyes narrowed, "Then how did it appear here?" ”

"We are businessmen, and we have come here to do business"

"I have heard that your leader is a capable man, so why doesn't he submit to the court?"

The Hu man was stunned for a moment, "I'm just a businessman, I really don't know"

"Only by returning to the temple and becoming the people of Great Wei can you do business here and appear in the land of Great Wei, and your leaders have never been surrendered or canonized by Great Wei, so you dare to appear here?"

"You better go back, and when you go back, tell your leader to return as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be more than one bad luck."

This Hu Shang was a little angry.

But Cao Chao has a lot of people here, and he doesn't dare to offend, so he just says yes.

After a few bites of food, he hurried away with the rest of the people.

Guo Zhi couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, it's a good thing that this Hu people come to trade, it can let them know the culture and education of the Great Wei and help them educate, besides, these people also have to pay money when they enter and exit the checkpoint, there is no harm, why bother?"

Cao Chao shook his head, "If there is no difference, wouldn't the virtuous king who returned to the temple be cold?!" ”

Guo Zhi was immediately speechless.

This bald Xianbei is different from the Huns.

The Southern Xiongnu were subordinated to the Han Dynasty, their personnel had a Great Wei household registration, since the Qin and Han dynasties, China was a multi-ethnic unified country, the Qin and Han Dynasty set up the Dao, the so-called Dao, and the county is the same level, the difference is that the people here are mostly Hu people.

In the area where the Hu people occupy the majority, the temple is set up with a road, which is governed by the officials of the temple and the leader of the local Hu people.

These people also have to pay taxes, to be governed by the government, the temple has a lot of Taoism in the border area, after years of development, these Taoism is mixed with Hu and Han, and there is not much difference between the two sides.

But the bald Xianbei is like this, they later migrated to Hexi and other places, they do not live in the Dao, they have not accepted the canonization of the Han Dynasty, they do not need to pay taxes, and they are kings and hegemons in the wild.

Then this can't be regarded as the people of Great Wei.

The problem of the Hu people in the Yongliang area has plagued the temple for many years, but it is difficult for both the Han and the Wei to deal with this problem, mainly because the local Hu and Qiang people live together and the composition is chaotic.

Many of them are their own people who accept the governance of the Han Dynasty, there are outsiders who have migrated, and there are hundreds of tribes whose people can't stand the taxes and run out to be outsiders.

Bald and humble, now there are only tens of thousands of people, entrenched in the wild, and they have not yet returned to obedience.

Cao Chao always felt that when governing these areas, he should make clear boundaries and show the difference between himself and outsiders.

And it can't be so easy when it comes to receiving submission.

Today, after seeing these bald and humble hairs, Cao Chao suddenly had more thoughts in his heart.

In the Yongliang region, the Shu people like to contact the Huqiang here to assist them in sending troops, and every time they talk about the Huqiang problem here, the two sides are always in dispute.

Some people feel that they should be killed, and some people feel that they should be gentle.

But Cao Chao felt that neither of these was right, and the right thing to do should be to be gentle with his own people and kill the invaders.

Pei Xiu's policies had already begun to be carried out in the Southern Xiongnu, and these methods should bring some benefits, such as the fact that only their own people who had been educated could carry out trade and grazing normally.

If outsiders are unwilling to accept indoctrination, then they should be expelled, sealed off, and their pastures should be handed over to their own families.

Cao Chao gently tapped the wooden case in front of him.

Just when Cao Chao was pondering about this matter, Wang Su walked out of Taixue surrounded by many scholars.

At this moment, the real Wang Xuefang appeared in Luoyang.

When Wang Xue began to spread, there was no need for the temple to do more, and many of Wang Su's ideas had already spread all over the place.

This caused a huge stir.

The slower ones were still asking about what they couldn't understand, and the people who reacted were already shouting for unification.

For a time, the great unification of the Spring and Autumn Ram seemed to come alive through the shell of metaphysics and filled Luoyang.

Everyone talked about these things, and the heated discussion of the scholars even became a strange thing in the mouths of the people at the bottom for a time.

Those people in the bamboo forest also learned the specific situation at this moment.

When they got together to talk about it, their ideas seemed to diverge.

Ruan Ji, who had lost his motivation due to the collapse of his beliefs, became a little different at the moment, and Wang Su's doctrine gave him a new inspiration.

Ruan Ji is also a scholar, although not as good as Wang Su, but there are still attainments, Ruan Ji immediately recognized Wang Su's doctrine, after all, his pursuit of a higher level of ideas, also recognized by Wang Su, and even Wang Su was considered to be in the Taiping world to maintain the peak of national strength in the country.

But Liu Ling maintained a different opinion, Liu Ling believed that this was just compiled by Wang Su in order to help the emperor complete the unification, and there was no need to ignore it.

The rest of the celebrities and celebrities have different ideas.

Among them, the biggest feeling should be Ji Kang.

Ji Kang was very supportive of Cao Chao, but in the same way, he opposed Cao Chao's cruel policy, he believed that the method of inaction should be adopted, and believed that the current policy would bring hidden dangers to the future, but after coming into contact with Wang Su's scriptures, he suddenly realized that this was only a temporary method.

Compared with his unfounded objections, Wang Su's ideas are more convincing.

Ruan Xian was almost against Wang Su, he felt that Wang Su's doctrine was to dilute metaphysics, which was to use Confucianism to eat metaphysics, and to use the shell of metaphysics to talk about the truth of Confucianism, which was fundamentally wrong.

None of them seemed to be able to convince anyone.
