Sometimes, if you only look at single and unconnected things, you may have questions and feel strange. Why? How could such a thing happen? Shouldn’t it be like that? Are those who make mistakes so stupid?
But in fact, all resentment must have a source and will not be born out of thin air.
Time is continuous. This thing is not like humans who deliberately divide it into one second, one minute and one hour for their own cognition, but it is continuous. As for time itself, there is no unit of quantity. Just like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are surging, you can take out a part of it to observe, but it cannot be said that the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are endlessly divided into this small part of the observed...
Can't be separated.
Therefore, when dealing with Taiyuan, you must stand higher to see more clearly.
The word Taiyuan was not just a county in the Han Dynasty, but refers to Taiyuan County.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Taiyuan County hesitated about its special geographical location and important strategic position and became an important town in the northern border. Although Taiyuan County has undergone many administrative changes such as South Korea, Dai State, Taiyuan State, and Taiyuan County, for this area, its importance in the Sanjin region has always been maintained.
Taiyuan's economy has never been bad, especially in handicrafts.
Taiyuan has salt and iron.
According to the "Han Shu Geography", during the Western Han Dynasty, Jinyang of Taiyuan County was established with "Salt Officials" and Daling was established with "Iron Officials", which were fully controlled and responsible for the production and sales of salt and iron in Taiyuan County. Although there was no sea salt in Taiyuan, the industry of processing pond salt and halide salt still existed. As the salt industry, the production level of the Han Dynasty must not have good technology and production efficiency, which inevitably led to the need for a large number of manpower.
The same is true for iron, mining and metallurgy also require a lot of manpower.
At the same time, Taiyuan originally made copper, bronze mirrors, copper tripods, copper bells, other copper utensils, and even bronze swords. They were originally quite mature industries in Taiyuan. This means that the smelting, shaping, casting and trimming of copper utensils has a complete set of processes and divisions of labor in Taiyuan. These industries also require a lot of manual labor.
Now, the large amount of input of Qinghai salt has caused Taiyuan's original salt industry to be hit by the first. In addition, those who eat Qinghai Lake salt are not interested in the salty and bitter salt. As long as the price difference is not much, most people will choose to buy lake salt instead of salt.
The processing of salt stear is not only a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, but more importantly, it consumes a lot of manpower. Therefore, after Fei Jian opened the Western Regions and opened the silk trade route, the original price of salt stear stear suddenly collapsed, and the decline in salt industry caused the handicraftsmen who were mainly salt to lose their jobs. The most important thing is that these local gentry, which were originally salt-rich, were immediately hit by a huge impact!
Similarly, there are iron and copper industries.
It is better to make copper in Shandong. After all, everyone knows that copper ore is equivalent to money and will not be sold easily. However, Shandong's ironmaking industry has been defeated by Feiqian's higher-level metallurgical technology. This is the same as the salt industry. As long as you have used good quality ironware and within a reasonable price range, you will definitely not want to use products that appear to be "low quality".
Taiyuan is closer than Shandong, so of course it will be even more impacted.
Of course, there are small metallurgical workshops for sewing and repairing. But the problem is that no matter which dynasty, the metallurgical industry did not make a lot of money by sewing and repairing. So it was okay for those who originally mined ore, but those local gentry and gentry industries that made their fortunes by smelting and making iron tools were naturally hit hard.
Is this kind of dimensional reduction strike by salt, iron, etc. completed within one day?
Obviously not.
Even if Fei Qian is a god, it is impossible for him to arrange everything in an instant. Even if Fei Qian can change the world with a wave of his hand, it still takes CD time. Do you need to go back to some blue...
Then, in the process of these changes, what are these rural gentry and aristocratic families doing?
Did nothing.
Perhaps a small number of people noticed something was wrong and changed their careers and left the dangerous zone. However, most of the gentry and gentry who were engaged in these old industries and used old technologies waited for the new waves to rush them down before kneeling on the beach to cry, curse, curse, and even resent.
Whose fault is this?
It was like seeing the Venus flytrap, and then sighing how could such benzene fly bugs fall into the trap. When they turned to see the mouse trap, they joked that how stupid the mouse should be to fall into this trap. When they saw the trap, they laughed and said that there were even beasts that could not be seen in such obvious things? Then these people saw the sign "The danger of mountain torrents, no entry" -
Um……
Is it impossible to survive in Taiyuan?
Obviously not, agriculture and animal husbandry are still open.
Even if you don’t want to engage in basic industries, in handicrafts, pottery and brewing, jade and paint industries, etc., it is all possible.
Take the pottery industry as an example. Pots, jars, basins, cups, stoves, etc. made of clay are very popular among the people. After all, not all people can afford copper or iron utensils as daily utensils. Although these things are profitable, the demand is not small. After all, these clay utensils are easy to break if they are not careful, and metal utensils are usually dropped a few times, and most of them will not have anything except for some marks.
At the same time, because the custom of burial in the Han Dynasty would not be reduced for a while, there was a lot of pottery used for burial. The demand was particularly large, such as daily utensils such as stoves, wells, boxes, etc., and even complete sets of buildings, which were all consumables and buried underground with the owner. These pottery products used for burial are also a very important product type. In addition, the pottery industry can also fire building materials, Qin bricks and Han tiles, simple-mode plate tiles, tube tiles, etc., and complex pattern tiles, all of which are well sold.
It's just that the price is lower and the profit is thinner.
If you want to have a high price, you can also innovate some new shapes and patterns on clay utensils. After all, technology is based on shell replacement. The colorful patterns are definitely more expensive than plain surfaces...
But creating new forms and patterns requires brains!
There are also lacquerware, jadeware, etc., which are similar. Ordinary profits are very low, so it takes a lot of brain to innovate. So overall, even if Taiyuan has suffered a dimensional reduction in certain industries, it is not impossible to survive at all. If you want to live well, you need to work harder than before.
But some people don’t do it. They think, why do they have to work hard? They could have lived well and lived a very nourishing life, but why do they have to work hard now?
This must be the fault of the cavalry.
Their ancestors have done this for generations and they all live well. Now that the cavalry has come, they can't survive anymore. Isn't it the cavalry's fault? The cavalry's property has collapsed, their income has decreased, they cannot continue to enjoy the life of various banquets.
Some people are clear about things, but some people only focus on one thing, will not contact each other, and will not use their brains to think about problems.
Therefore, those who have great resentment towards the cavalry are naturally the people who originally made huge profits in Taiyuan by using the salt and iron industry. Among these people, they are basically the big tribes in Taiyuan. Because it is very simple, small gentry and small gentry cannot get involved in the salt and iron industry, which originally had huge profits.
Among them, of course, there is the Taiyuan Wang family.
And Wen's.
Wang Huai, Wang is currently hunting outside Taiyuan.
Logically speaking, hunting is not suitable in spring.
But Wang Huai didn't care, or he didn't want to care about anything at all, he just needed to have fun with himself. As for the others...
The harvest is not good today.
If Wang Huai came alone, he could encounter some hares and pheasants, and as for whether he could shoot, that was another matter. However, Wang Huai came from a large group of people, so those small animals hid early when they heard the movements. And the big animals, after finally meeting a black bear, were all blown to the sky...
Tigers and leopards are smarter than bears. Unless they are really anxious, they usually hide when they see crowds. There are many tenderer, smaller and less risk-free prey in the mountains. Why not get along with the hairless beasts?
Most of the people who can't get along with the bipedal beast are themselves.
For example, Wang Huai now thinks that Zhang Wan is not able to get along with him...
In addition to real hunting, Wang Huai can also use it to cover up his behavior of meeting other people outside the city. Anyway, whatever he says is just hunting. Wang Huai doesn't know anything else, he doesn't know, and is embarrassed to have never done it.
Wang Huai sat on a rock with a bow and arrow in his hand.
Zhang Wan bent down aside, with some scars on his face and a flattering smile.
"Have you really met the cavalry and horse?" Wang Huai frowned, and he lost an arrow in his hand, and he was pinching back and forth as if he was unconsciously. "How could there be cavalry and horses in the stone ridge?"
The smuggling routes were investigated in advance. I was arrested once before on Yinshan. The risk was relatively high and it was understandable.
But the problem is that Shiling is close to Taiyuan, and it is a new road that no one has discovered before. Why did he meet the cavalryman?
Facing Wang Huai's suspicious gaze, Zhang Wan swears to the sky, saying that he really met the cavalryman and there were also the Five Elements Thunder Clouds, and he described it in detail.
When Wang Huai heard this, he was shocked and angry. What was shocked was that Zhang Wan might have encountered a cavalryman. If Zhang Wan had not lie, the possibility of Zhang Wan lying was not high, because only Wang Huai had to send someone to Zhang Wan to find a few people to ask privately, and he would know the truth or falsehood. What was angry was that Zhang Wan actually broke the matter and was blocked twice. He didn't tell the matter, but he broke the goods by the way!
Not only did this not make any money, but it also paid for it. As we go, how much is this?!
At the same time, there is another hidden influence, that is, the smuggling belongs to both parties, and the original trust is not high. Once the Wang family is out of stock, the Hu people will think that there is something wrong with Wang family. If you want to restore the original contact, you may have to go through more trouble!
"I'll ask you," Wang Huai leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "That guy... have you written a new mark?"
Zhang Wan nodded quickly, "All have changed, all have changed, after I received your instructions, they have changed..."
"I... didn't my instructions tell you to change it after you get there?" Wang Huai said with a glaring eyes, "Who told you to change it before you set out?"
Zhang Wan was stunned. He couldn't admit that he thought it was troublesome. "Ah? This... I received the order and asked me to change it?"
Wang Huai stared at Zhang Wan and suddenly smiled, "I didn't say so clearly... Don't you blame me? Haha, don't you..."
Zhang Wan also quickly laughed, "I didn't hear it clearly. Next time, I will pay attention next time, pay attention..." This time, Zhang Wan came, on the one hand, he was dead and lost the goods, of course he had to explain, and on the other hand, he wanted some money to gather his subordinates again.
『Next time... Haha, that's fine..." Wang Huai nodded, pinched the arrow again, picked up the arrow, and glanced in front of him, as if he was looking at the arrow pole straight or not.『This matter... I understand, you go back first, what else... I'll arrange someone to send it to you...』
"My Healing Game"
Zhang Wan quickly thanked him, then nodded and bowed.
Wang Huai nodded irresistibly.
This seems normal. Zhang Wan failed and asked for money, food and supplies. Wang Huai could not carry these supplies with him while hunting. He wanted to send them, of course he had to wait for later.
But the problem is that Zhang Wan failed twice...
Next time?
Zhang Wan walked in front and suddenly felt a little alert, as if he was being targeted by some wild beast. When he turned around, he saw that Wang Huai, who had just sat on the stone, was already standing up, holding a bow and arrow in his hands, aiming at him!
Zhang Wan subconsciously wanted to scream and escape, but Wang Huai on the other side had already let go of the hand holding Gongxian...
『Bang!』
『Swoosh!』
"puff!"
"ah……"
Zhang Wan fell to the sky.
Wang Huai took the bow and looked at Zhang Wan's fallen figure coldly, pointed, "Go and see... If you are not dead, you will have another knife..."
"Yes!" Wang Huai's guard pulled out his dagger and walked forward.
"Oh, by the way, that arrow is gone, don't touch it..." Wang Huai seemed to remember something and said.
The guard nodded to show his understanding and then moved forward.
After a moment, the guard waved his hand and said, "It's dead! Young Master is good at archery!"
Wang Huai nodded, "Leave! Go back to the city!"
He picked up the bow, put on the arrow pouch, and went to the place where the horse was tied.
In his arrow pouch, there seemed to be a little different color between one or two arrows and other arrow pouches...
When he got near the city gate, Wang Huai and others met the Wen family who were about to leave the city.
Wang Huai glanced at him and saw Wen's group and his group with people and cars, with a lot of luggage, as if they were going to move away for a long journey.
『Haha, isn't this Wang Xiandi?" Wen's son greeted him loudly, 『Is he back from hunting?"
Wang Huai smiled, pretending to have nothing to notice, and then signaled a guard to send a hare to the Wen family, "Brother Wen, where are you going? What have you been busy with these two days? Why don't you accompany me to hunt?"
Wen's son was haha, "Oh, something happened at home... Next time, I'll hunt with my brother next time..."
The two of them exchanged greetings and separated.
Then the two of them were far apart and laughed secretly.
In life, who doesn’t smile at others sometimes, and sometimes smile at others.
Wang Huai knew in his heart that Wen's son was anxious to leave, either because he heard some wind or wanted to leave this vortex?
But some things can be avoided just by trying to avoid them?
Wang Huai sneered, returned to his home, and then said in a deep voice: "Go and invite Uncle Seven."
After a while, Uncle Seven came, Wang Huai asked everyone else to retreat, and then whispered: "What happened in Shiling...?..........."
"What?" Uncle Qi frowned.
Wang Huai talked about the general situation, "How could the cavalry and horses... appear on the side of Shiling?"
Uncle Qi was also unaware of this, but he knew that in this way, all the smuggling routes were broken, and his own way of making money was cut off. He looked at Wang Huai with some dissatisfaction, "How could these damn... how could they be so careless..."
Wang Huai nodded and said, "So I killed him. It's okay, once, twice, haha, and I'm thinking about saying next time...what do you keep such a person?"
"You killed?" Uncle Qi raised his eyebrows, "Nothing left behind, right?"
Wang Huai smiled and found an arrow from the arrow pouch beside him, "I killed it with such an arrow..."
Uncle Seven took it and looked at it, "Oh! Haha... But how could you lose his arrow?"
"Didn't you hunt together the first two times..." Wang Huai said with a smile, "That fool is not accurate and can't hit it... I deliberately took him around a circle a few times, and his servants couldn't find the remaining arrows and lost them..."
Uncle Qi's eyebrows moved, looked at Wang Huai deeply, and then smiled and said, "Since you have arranged it...what else can you ask me to do?"
Wang Huai smiled and said, "I have only a few people under me... Although I have killed Zhang Wan, the others... If they are the cavalrymen and horses find the village in Shiling first..."
『Hmm…』 Uncle Qi pondered, then looked at Wang Huai and said, 『You mean...』
"No, no, I listen to my uncle..." Wang Huai said, "Aren't the things I do all my uncle taught me... but, it's just that damn Zhang Wan. He didn't do what his uncle told me, so he changed it in the village..."
Uncle Qi was stunned and then his eyebrows stood up.
I don’t say much about other factors. If I change the marks outside, I will know at most that I am from a fleet of people, but I will make changes in the village...
Then everyone in a village may know.
What mark was it originally, and what mark was it later...
These people in the village were not recruited by Wang Huai, most of them were from Uncle Seven.
If you all silence your words, the loss will not be a little bit.
The problem is that Uncle Qi himself cannot guarantee that these people can be honest.
Those who sell their own lives for money will eventually sell the lives of others because of money.
"Uncle..." Wang Huai looked at it, and then threw out another message, "I just came back and met Wen's son... The boy packed up his fine lines and left the city, obviously he would not come back in the short term..."
Wen's son left the city, which could be said to be going home to see the chrysanthemums, going home to do things, etc., but it could also be said that after he committed a crime, he had a ghost in his heart, and then...
