Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1049 People's hearts are not NPCs

   The first to get the news were undoubtedly the children of the gentry in Pingyang City.

  When Fei Qian decided to do this, the political clique belonging to Fei Qian began to operate rapidly. It has to be said that in this era, the feudal dictatorship political regime still has some advantages in some respects.

For these Bingbei officials, although Fei Qian is not a person who attaches great importance to authority, majesty is naturally there, but he does not oppress others with power at every turn, but Fei Qian, as the supreme commander of Pingyang and even Bingbei, although not As for flattery, but a thorough understanding of Fei Qian's intentions will naturally help to gain a foothold in Bingbei.

  The news here naturally spread along the fastest channel to the children of various families who were waiting in the restaurant. These people in charge fell silent for a while.

I don't know how long it took before I heard someone sigh: "How long has it been peaceful, General Zhengxi is really a man who can't sit still! It's a great way to educate barbarians, no one can tell if it's wrong... But this , barren mountains and wild ridges, wild and smelly, if you say it's a good job... we can't go against our conscience, can we?"

  One sentence is like a stone stirring up thousands of waves, and it immediately arouses the echo, and everyone is very moved.

"...Is this barbarian so easy to get along with? It's been so many years, and I haven't seen anyone who has been truly educated. General Zhengxi is naturally invincible in this battle, but this way of culture and education...how about this? It's good to say..."

   "If a man dies, a dead body will not pass away..."

"Now that Ximeng accepts the emperor's favor, he should be very trustworthy, but such a sudden change, if it is not a trivial matter if he is not educated, the damage to his reputation will be a big deal... so when he walks in front of the Sanhuai Hall, he must be criticized for a while! Zheng Xi has always been intelligent, why is there no one around him to mention a few things? Although a certain person has a heart, but there is always a layer of power behind him..."

"I heard that there are endless turmoil in Guanzhong... Now Zhengxi should look for an opportunity to take a step forward, so as to bring us Bingzhou scholars back to the court, how can... Hey! These barbarian barbarians, what can they do if they are educated? It's just putting the cart before the horse!"

Everyone was discussing, some were surprised and puzzled, some were worried and sighed, and most of them were worried about their own one-acre three-point land, for fear that because of Fei Qian's toss, it would be difficult for their family to end up in this land that is not in the north. The settled students or family business are affected by this.

  Now the world is becoming chaotic, many people also feel that it is not easy to have a stable place, so they are not willing to make changes easily.

  Seeing that everyone is discussing in a ball, but the words are meaningless. Zhao Shang, who kept his eyes closed and pondered in the private seat, opened his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone! At this moment, it is useless to talk too much! Since Zhengxi has published the article, he must follow it! Why do we have to talk about it?" ?”

Those dynasties always paid more attention to people with profound knowledge. This Zhao Shang, because he won the first place in the Shoushan Academy several times in a row, has gradually gained some reputation in the Pingyang area. , so when he spoke, everyone fell silent.

Zhao Shang said slowly: "... General Zhengxi officially issued a document, how can you slack off? After all, this place is the governor's mansion of General Zhengxi! Besides... every household, how can there be no side branches? The way to go... I don't know everyone, what do you think?"

Although Zhao Shang's words were short, the meaning was very clear. Since Fei Qian had already released the news, he never said that he would take away the face of General Zhengxi. You have to take three points into consideration, but it is not impossible to ask each household to contribute money and people. At most, it is necessary to send one or two poor relatives from other households to deal with it.

   Zhao Shang stopped talking. At this moment, no one raised any other opinions. Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and gradually dispersed.

   It is no wonder that these people, the political system of the Han Dynasty is like this, the county magistrate and other chiefs issue administrative orders, and then the local gentry children assist in carrying out the orders of the county magistrate to the fields. So when Fei Qian announced the administrative order, everyone naturally thought that this would be apportioned on their own heads, so they naturally got together to discuss some countermeasures.

   Such a model was not only in the Han Dynasty, but even continued into the late feudal society.

  Different from the high-end restaurants in the east of the city, the restaurants located in the west of Pingyang City are relatively more civilian, and the consumption is not high.

  In Pingyang City, it is already overcrowded. There were still some buildings under construction before, and now the only open spaces have been built with various shops and small buildings.

The entire Pingyang city was sorted out by General Zhengxi little by little in the past, and was later named Pingyanghou. Therefore, basically the city belongs to General Zhengxi alone. Looking at the current prosperity, it is a country that is as rich as the enemy. Not to mention, but there is no problem at all in the rich and invincible city...

  It is adjacent to the West Market in **yang, and it is relatively noisy with people coming and going. The Qiang people and the Huns also often appeared, and everyone was a little surprised.

  These barbarians, after experiencing the initial ignorance of trade, grew up quite quickly. It has to be said that in this respect, whether they are barbarian or Han Chinese, their ability to learn and comprehend is extremely strong. Now, these barbarians will even start to bargain with the Han people, and then calculate by pulling their fingers and knotting ropes, quite like some businessmen.

   Zhang Shi and Peng Yue were having a few drinks in a small restaurant in the west of the city.

But in the youth, no one has a time when they are full of enthusiasm. After Zhang Shi and Peng Yue heard about General Zhengxi's great victory in Yinshan, they couldn't help discussing the content of this battle with each other at the small wine table. What I saw, what I heard, what I guessed, I told each other all of it. When it came to the soldiers fighting bravely on the battlefield, the two of them toasted again and again, looking proud.

When it came to their interest, the two of them even imitated the topography of Yinshan Mountain, smearing wine on the table and pointing, as if they were commander-in-chief, controlling the terrain of Yinshan Mountain. Where to march, where to set up camp, where to gather troops to store food, where to transfer and transport, when talking about the excitement, the two still stare at each other, neither admitting defeat.

Zhang Shi pointed at Peng Yue and said with a smile: "Are you still not convinced? General Zhengxi, eight hundred soldiers rose from Hedong, first went down to Pingyang, and then fought against Baibo, Xiongnu, and Xianbei. I don't know how many difficulties! But everyone wants to fight." Staying in Guanzhong to guard the family business, but you gave up traveling, you are also an idiot!"

Peng Yue said: "I didn't say that I would not obey General Zhengxi! I just said that since General Zhengxi is the leader, we should follow suit! Maybe one day we can make some military exploits and achieve a career! "

Peng Yue went on to say to Zhang Shi: "The scourge of the northern Hu people was put down by Zhengxi alone! In the past, Xianbei was so strong that even the forbidden army of the imperial court could not fight, but now he is beheaded by General Zhengxi to capture the flag. What a joy!"

Zhang Shi was also a little bit drunk, and sighed: "Who said it wasn't? Some people in the court that I know, when they talked about Xianbei before, they either didn't even look at it, and they said they were barbarians. Or it can be said that the current government is difficult and there is nothing to do... But who would have thought that the general who conquered the West will become the general! If the officials in the court know about this, they will be ashamed to kill them!"

But Peng Yue put down his chopsticks, and said with a downcast expression: "...you thought those people in the court would care about this? A certain family was originally from Luoyang, but moved to Chang'an... A certain family was originally a side branch. In desperation, I cut off the support... No, I wandered here... If it weren't for the officials in the court fighting for power and profit, and vainly caring about people's livelihood, how could we have suffered such a catastrophe?!"

   Zhang Shi heard Peng Yue's voice louder, so he clapped his hand quickly. Peng Yue suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he nodded and sighed.

   It is okay to criticize the imperial government's decrees, and it is not a problem to comment on a certain official, but to overthrow all the officials above the court at once, the coverage is a bit large, and it is not very appropriate. It is possible to say something against someone, because it is bound to draw some tricks, but once the attack surface spreads, it will become a rhetoric to vent anger.

  In addition to fighting for power and profit in the imperial court, there are naturally some people who are doing their own things. Otherwise, the entire Chang'an city would have been in chaos long ago, and we still wait until today?

  But one thing is for sure, if there is no General Zhengxi, there will be no popularity and prosperity in Beipingyang today!

The land of Bingzhou has indeed been abandoned to the point where it can no longer be rotten. Whether it is the population or the economy, it is seriously damaged. There is a tendency to develop on the positive side.

   "...Have you heard about the Hu people's enlightenment?" After a moment of silence, Zhang Shi casually put some beans in his mouth and said.

Peng Yue also recovered from his sadness, and said: "...I heard about it a few days ago in the academy, but I didn't expect it to be true today! General Zhengxi wants to promote enlightenment, okay, that's pretty good, but... "

  Zhang Shi put down his chopsticks, chewing on the boiled, pickled and then dried broad beans in his mouth, making a rattling sound, accompanied by a few small words: "...It's nothing more than...the word future..."

"... You said it so directly..." Peng Yue laughed, "... yes, it's the future... It's not a good job to go to the barbarian land to educate, and the name is good, but this... the bitter cold place, think about it It's just heartbreaking..."

  Zhang Shi said with a smile: "Why. Can't you get used to this fishy food? Can't bear the pain of loneliness?"

  Peng Yue laughed loudly and said, "What are these! Don't joke, you know..."

   "...Yeah, I understand it..." Zhang Shi slowly put away his smile and nodded, "...Everyone praises Ban Dingyuan, but they don't know that it will take thirty years..."

   "...Everyone knows Su Ziqing, but they don't know how to look forward to Chang'an..." Peng Yue also said with a sigh.

I have to say that there were indeed some great people in the Han Dynasty who were firm-willed, brave and intelligent, and passed down their reputation through the ages. But at the same time, when many people praised the fruitful achievements of these people, they often forgot that these people had put in so much effort. of those things.

  Ban Dingyuan, 31 years in the Western Regions.

  Su Wu, shepherd for 19 years.

   It's still waiting for the day when the light will reappear, but how many people can't wait for the moment when they set foot on Han again?

  Li Ling, whether it was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who killed his family first, or whether he voted for the Xiongnu first, this is already unknown, but I believe that the dark moonlit night on the grassland may have swallowed countless blood and tears.

   What is it to eat some rough food?

  So what if I go to associate with the fishy people?

  These are not problems. The problem is that if you can’t go back, you can’t bear the inner torment of looking forward to the return date every day and tomorrow after tomorrow.

   "...General Zhengxi once said that there is a period for educating people, but..." Zhang Shi knocked on the table and said, "...this period is only for General Zhengxi..."

  Peng Yue was silent.

   Even if it is not the promise of General Zhengxi, but the promise of a higher level Han Dynasty, okay?

   But it still doesn't work.

  If Chang Hui hadn't tried his best to get the chance to see the sun again, Su Wu would probably spend his whole life in Beihai stalking...

  Although the Southern Huns are considered pretty good now, what if they turn their backs in the future?

  It is not that the Southern Huns did not plunder in Bingbei before, but they are better than Xianbei.

  Going, although it is a temporary fame, you can also get a chance to win fame and career, but then? Fame is only possible if you can come back, otherwise...

"...The wanderer grieves for his hometown, and his heart mourns to mourn. He strokes his long sword and sighs, and weeps and drips and stains his clothes. He catches the remaining tears in the city, mourning the many lives of the people. What is the slyness of the husband? If it is not sunny, it will lose its level for a long time. Forgive what the fortune has done, who will be in trouble forever..." Peng Yue suddenly tapped on the table lightly, and began to moan in a low voice.

Zhang Shi also read a few words softly, and sighed: "...This matter is not the fault of General Zhengxi, it is true... Difficult...Who doesn't want to honor the ancestors, who doesn't want to honor the lintel? Be careful..."

  Peng Yue looked at Zhang Shi, then at the remaining wine on the table, and remained silent.

  The two of them lost the lively atmosphere at the beginning, but were shrouded in hesitation. And such hesitation and hesitation slowly fermented after Zhengxi General Fei Qian issued such a decree.

  In this world, there will never be love without reason, nor hate without reason. Just like those people in later generations who talk about a certain doctrine, they may not act according to a certain doctrine. If they have not experienced some things and experienced some things in person, how can they hold on to their beliefs? After all, people are not NPCs in the game. After being killed by players with a knife over and over again, they can still smile and say hello, young hero...
