Snowflakes are flying.

In the Lantian camp.

Fei Qian looked at the report delivered from Chang'an and thought for a long time.

From the current point of view, the overall separation of the nobles and the right is relatively successful. Whether it is from the reaction of the nobles or the response of these large households, they have basically entered a fermentation stage. Just wait and see.

It evolved slowly over time.

Most Chinese people like to drink.

Fragrant wine requires a long period of fermentation. Through physical and chemical changes, the original grain and yeast are mixed to form a new substance. During this process, you must be careful and pay attention at all times.

Isn't the change the same as the current situation?

Gentlemen and nobles are inherently united.

One is powerful, the other is rich, a perfect match, they can seduce each other at every turn, and then they become romantically involved together, never giving up until they show up in eighteen different poses.

But the problem is that when these two classes merge, it is often a disaster for the entire country.

Just like the landlord class is not a big problem. One or two landlords dare not let out a fart when faced with violent institutions, but the big landlord class is very scary. After it takes control of the political power, it can even use state violence in turn.

Institutions seek personal gain for themselves.

The same is true of capitalists and the bourgeoisie. Individual capitalists may be humane and rational, but the bourgeoisie is merciless in pursuit of profits and does not care about social ethics or future development. As long as they have enough money, they will do anything.

Yes, it doesn't matter even if you sell your country or your soul.

There has never been love or hate for no reason in this world, so for the Han Dynasty, what is the combination of nobles and rightists?

It is a transaction of power and money.

To put it simply, it means giving and receiving bribes.

Seizing this point is like grasping the vital points of nobles and nobles...

Before the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as power-for-money transactions, and there was no special law addressing this issue. This issue was not even considered the most important thing, because even the emperor did this, selling his official position if he was given money.

Can we ask low-level officials not to engage in power-for-money transactions?

Then, did the nobles all think that power-for-money transactions were right from the beginning?

Not really.

The disaster of party imprisonment is the best proof. These gentry children who were together were obviously very dissatisfied with the emperor's mess, but the problem was that they were sharp but not self-cultivation. When these gentry children criticized the emperor, they did not expect it.

In fact, in the later feudal society, they themselves were the ones who caused more chaos.

Fei Qian sighed slightly. In a sense, the upper beam is not straight, and then the lower beam is crooked as well, and then once it is crooked, it will be crooked for a thousand years...

Fei Qian has studied the supervisory system of the Han Dynasty. Generally speaking, the emperors of the Han Dynasty were not all fools. During the Western Han Dynasty, a complete supervisory system had been established. On the basis of inheriting the Qin Dynasty system, the imperial censors were established, and even

He is called the deputy prime minister and is the highest censor in the country. The duty of the imperial censor is to "uphold the laws, coordinate with the duties, command all officials, and supervise the superiors and subordinates." However, the problem is due to the parallel system of prefectures and states implemented in the early Han Dynasty.

, the central power was severely divided among the vassal states. In terms of the actual function of the supervision system, it was mainly limited to the areas directly under the central government and could not cover the whole country.

The power of local supervision is the most fundamental and important authority of a centralized power.

So Feiqian can't let go.

Pang Tong and others knew this, and Wei Duan and others also understood this.

Therefore, when Fei Qian instructed Pang Tong and others to investigate and deal with the issue of power-for-money transactions in the entire Guanzhong Sanfu, Wei Duan, Du Ji and others were more politically astute and did not jump out to oppose it.

Because this is what a qualified political leader should do. If the leader of a political group does not care about anything and allows local forces to continue to develop, what will happen?

Simply relying on general calls for clean government and moral standards obviously cannot solve the fundamental problem, and local powerful forces also seriously interfere with ordinary governors, or county magistrates implement central government decrees, and even bribe local officials to complicity. In addition, local

The princes often overrode the law and interfered with governance supervision. Therefore, in the end, the so-called supervision system in the Han Dynasty often fell into place, and the so-called anti-corruption was a joke.

Therefore, the questions about Lu Bu reported by Pang Tong...

It's a big problem.

If it is not handled well, it may lead to the implementation of Fei Qian's overall policy falling short.

Fei Qian tapped his hands on the table, like drums on the battlefield.

Regarding Lu Bu, Fei Qian is still full of relatively complex emotions. This emotion is even related to some cognitions of later generations. There are also some other entries, such as: "Flying General", "First", "

Hermes", "Forgiveness"...

It seems like something got mixed in, forget it, leave it alone.

Fei Qian lowered his head, then picked up the pen, paused again, pondered for a long time, and finally wrote four words quickly, then sealed the original document and asked the scout to quickly pass it back to Chang'an Shangshu Desk for filing.

.

"Put it away..." Fei Qian motioned to the table, and then said, "Cao Zidan is invited to come...drink tea..."

If a boss wants to invite someone to tea, he can't refuse even if it's Zhen Zidan, let alone Cao Zidan.

Not long after, Cao Zhen arrived and saluted Fei Qian.

In the past two days, Cao Zhen read hard and memorized everything. The notebook was almost full, but the more he wrote, the more depressed he became.

Because the difference is not one or two, even if Cao Zhen knew it and remembered it, he would not be able to do it.

Eat, drink, poop and sleep.

Simple right?

Not simple at all.

As the commander-in-chief, Fei Qian, of course, had mutton to eat. This was not a big problem. Although the mutton on Cao Jun's side was indeed not as fragrant as the mutton here, it was not bad when he was hungry. Cao Zhen and other generals could still eat meat regularly.

Yes, this is not a big problem. But the problem is that there are hussars here, and there are also ordinary soldiers. At least each group can get a bowl of broth and two or three pieces of offal every three days, which can be mashed and made into porridge...

Can Cao Jun do it?

Once or twice is fine, but if you do it for a long time like Fei Qian...

Then the problem of defecation and peeing seems simple. There are specially dug pits in some positions of the military camp, and then covered with wooden boards, urine buckets and the like are also normal. This is no problem, Cao Jun can do it, and then

Fei Qian asked ordinary people around him to clean up the excrement. This was no problem. Cao Jun could also do it, but it would make the people around him often argue and even fight over the excrement. Is this...

The reason is that the common people believe that those who serve as soldiers under the Hussars are well-fed and have plenty of oil and water, so their excrement is naturally more fertile, and it is definitely better than ordinary dung for their own fields.

Hi! Cao Zhen also forgot what his expression was when he learned about this situation. He must have been somewhat dumbfounded.

Then eating, drinking, sleeping, and other problems will be involved.

Just like in Jizhou and Yuzhou, who are the people who serve as soldiers? Refugees, libertines, or captured young men. But here in Feiqian, soldiers are almost entirely recruited, even only once a year! Don't even recruit the bad ones.

!

Discipline is another matter. After all, under military law, even the most naughty gangsters can be dealt with in a submissive manner.

Mainly other things...

Cao Zhen heard that every year when the time comes in all counties in Guanzhong, people queuing up to sign up to be soldiers can queue up to two or three miles long. This is something that Cao Zhen cannot imagine. But looking back, he can understand that it is so good.

The treatment included broth and offal every three days, and from time to time there were competitions between soldiers within the military camp. The winners were also rewarded. The food was even much better than that of ordinary farmers. Plus, they were equipped with armor and weapons.

If Cao Zhen were an ordinary citizen, he would be moved by the military pay he has received!

Then can Cao Jun do it?

The hussar cavalry dispatched soldiers and won. The first-level meritorious service can be used for promotion, or can be used to exchange for money, or even for fields. This is almost a replica of the former Qin Dynasty. Cao Zhen also knew this. Then Cao Jun won, what can ordinary soldiers get?

?At most, it’s a bowl of wine, a piece of dried meat, two or three black flour pancakes...

Are you willing to give it like this to a hussar?

I can’t afford it. The only fields in Jizhou and Yuzhou are how to give it? Whose land should I give it to?

Therefore, almost all the soldiers under Qiusi's command are fighting for the lead. Even if they are disabled, they will fight to the death. But Cao's army...

The more Cao Zhen wrote and memorized, the more he had the urge to hide in a corner and cry alone. It was really frustrating to know that he knew what the problem was but was unable to change it.

what to do?

These questions have been lingering in Cao Zhen's mind for the past two days, and they can't get rid of them.

Then Cao Zhen vaguely felt that he seemed to have found some ideas...

Why can Fei Qian treat these soldiers so well that even ordinary people think it is good to be a soldier? Because the benefits of being a soldier are indeed very high, and what is the condition for high benefits? Fei Qian is rich.

So where did Feiqian get his money?

New technology, new business...

This is almost what Fei Qian put on the table for everyone to see. As long as there are new technologies and new businesses, there will naturally be money. Of course Cao Zhen also discovered this, and then Cao Zhen thought that he was going to replace Cao Cao right now.

Find a business that the Cao family can do, and a business that only the Cao family can do.

Naturally, Cao Zhen set his sights on spices...

The Han Dynasty admired spices and even believed that spices can communicate with ghosts and gods. Burning incense in sacrifices is a basic operation, and it is not only Buddhists who burn incense in later generations. For example, "Emperor Wu repaired the palace, burned the incense of Baihe, and Zhang Yunjin burned the lamp of nine lights."

Basically, things like "listing the dates from Yumen, drinking grape wine, and paying tribute to the Queen Mother" are common.

The royal family is like this, and the same is true for ordinary nobles. They like to use incense, and the demand is not as high as usual. Cao Zhen thought if he could buy some incense from Fei Qian, and then went back to Xu County, and then Cao would sell and distribute it, and specially built
To be continued...
