Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2626 Self-explanatory, what is it?

  In Chang'an's Hussar General's Mansion, there are two tasks that are updated irregularly for a long time.

   Maps and sandboxes.

  At regular intervals, a professional craftsman will draw the newly discovered terrain on the map, and then trim and add it on the sand table to make it as close to the real situation as possible.

  At the moment, Fei Qian was standing in the wing room, watching from the side of the sand table representing the surrounding area of ​​Taiyuan.

  『People are prone to prejudice...』

  Fei Qian's fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the Taiyuan sand table.

Just like among the people in Shandong, many short-sighted men don’t think highly of women, and think that women have no talents, or the best talent is to be a husband and a child, and stay at home for a lifetime. As for why they think so, most of them are I feel that few women have self-knowledge, so it's better to be a reproductive machine.

But this group of stupid people don't know at all that even if women really only play the role of husbands and children, they also need women to receive education, have knowledge, have certain abilities and correct three views, otherwise it is really a job. When it comes to the male protagonist outside the female protagonist, and then criticize this every day, or make trouble for that, the brat who doesn't understand everything and thinks that he is the center of the world, how did he appear?

  In feudal dynasties, most of the gentry families must marry women from high-ranking families, and Xiaojia Biyu can only be a concubine no matter how beautiful she is. Of course, it doesn't mean that women from high families are necessarily better, but that they may be better. Because what kind of woman to marry is directly related to the next generation, and it is related to the future of the entire family and family. Marrying an evil woman and causing the whole family to be wiped out is not just a joke.

  So much attention to women, is it good to just talk about it? Is it because the simple act of carrying the wood has such a great effect on the wood that Shang Yang erected? Or is it that female officials don't show much value now, so they simply don't care about the future?

  Those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough for a moment; those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough for a region.

not to mention…

  Pang Tong stood aside with his hands clasped inside his sleeves. During this period of time, Pang Tong has lost a little weight than before, um, only a little bit, after all, it is easy to gain weight, but difficult to lose weight. Of course, being too thin is also bad for your health, and Fei Qian also specifically told Pang Tong not to give up eating because of choking and ruin his body.

  『Now it is an area with a strong tradition, whether it is the reform of officials or the propaganda in the countryside, it is still not enough. Except for some general slogans, the people in these areas did not pay much attention to the changes in the outside world. ’ Fei Qian stared at the sand table, as if looking down on the whole land, ‘It’s true that there are no problems for the time being, but there will definitely be problems in the future, and by that time, I’m afraid we have no ideas, no ideas. Momentum to change something...」

  『We should seize this opportunity now and take advantage of the vacancy and insufficiency of the officials themselves to pull out their original beliefs from the local gentry...’ Fei Qian said slowly, 『This is the thinking brought to me by the Buddhist scriptures. The beliefs in the snow area need to be changed, and the beliefs in many of our places also need to be changed...』

  『This change is definitely not something that can be changed just by doing a little dojo. Pang Tong nodded and said, "It must be bigger... Now I am a little worried about Wang's daughter... maybe it may not be able to do it well..."

  Fei Qian waved his hands and said, "If Wang and Zhen can do it, of course it would be the best. If they can't do it...just adjust it..."

  The pilgrim came, and then Fei Qian suddenly felt on the pilgrim that the technology tree on the superstructure was not enough. Just relying on climbing the technological tree of industry can't change the old ideas in many people's minds, and neither can the imperial examinations. These can only be supplementary, and more importantly, the changes in their own three views.

  『The power of custom is very strong...』 Fei Qian said slowly.

  Customs and habits are very stubborn. If there is no major change in the social environment, then this kind of thing will hardly change.

  『However...customs and habits will also change,』 Fei Qian gently tapped the sand table, "The premise is that there must be a strong force to impact this original structure...We need to impact this traditional structure now..."

  『Now is indeed a good opportunity. Pang Tong nodded and said, "Before we used force to forcefully promote the change of a region, but now we use a softer method to gradually change a region locally... This is a completely different method..."

  『Wufang Catholicism should also follow up, but don’t move too much to attract attention... 』Fei Qian thought about it and said, 『The key point is to use Wang’s daughter... let Wang’s daughter attract everyone’s attention...』

   There is a saying that existence is reasonable. In fact, this sentence has some flavor of social functionalism. The so-called functionalism is to regard society as a system with a certain structure and organization. This orderly interconnected system of various social organizations plays an effective role in the society as a whole.

  Social functionalism means that all social phenomena, no matter how immoral, absurd, evil, or should not exist, as long as they do exist, this social phenomenon must play a certain social function in society...

  Religion actually has certain social functions. Religion is a way for people to release their pressure, vent their emotions, and help stabilize the social organizational structure. If the original social pressure structure does not change or disappear, then the public will inevitably choose some channels to vent their emotions.

  Religion is a social outlet and channel for emotions.

  Even in later times, religion is the same, and at the same time…

The future of the great man, or in other words, within a considerable period of time, the people of the entire Huaxia will certainly not be as happy as the future generations, um, or even if the technology has developed to a certain level, for ordinary people, the whole society will not be happy. It is impossible to have a heavenly system, and social pressure will continue to exist, so providing some spiritual stimulation to ordinary people in a timely manner is a product that is naturally produced out of demand.

  Before the five-party God sect, these spiritual **** were provided by local gentry and primitive religions. Taoism originally wanted to take on this responsibility, but history gave it a chance, but it didn't work! In history, Taoism played an insufficient role in this aspect, so that it gave up its territory and finally made Buddhism flourish. But now, Fei Qian wants the Wufang God to make up for this, and replace part of it first Functional structure vacated by local squires.

  Cultivating the next life is really not as good as cultivating this life.

The authority of the landlord class needs to be weakened, and the weakened part cannot be vacated at will, otherwise it will still be absorbed by the next new landlord class, just like many dynasties in history did. The warriors who ate scavenging corpses became the new landowner class.

   At the same time, the authority of religion also needs to be limited. After all, the history of secular power and religious power cooperating first and then fighting each other has many examples in ancient and modern China and abroad. After the church is too powerful, it will inevitably have a tendency to interfere with the secular government. Travelers have enough lessons learned in this regard.

*****, if it is really done well, it is actually very good. It can even stimulate the enthusiasm and strength of the people even more than the emperor system, but it is also very dangerous. A little carelessness will lead to the collapse of the entire regime source.

Even if Feiqian himself is confident that the first-generation cooperative regime will be successful, as time goes by, the second generation, or at the latest the third generation, will definitely have various problems, scrambling for power and profit, calculating each other, and for their own sake. Selfish desires do not hesitate to waste public interests, even betray the country and defect to the enemy's camp...

   Balance and checks and balances.

  Nowadays the landlord class is too big, so if we don’t take the landlord class under the knife, should we still save it for the New Year?

  Pang Tong seemed to be calculating the probability of success of the overall plan. After a moment of silence, he said: "However... if it is the Five-Fang God Church... I am afraid there is another problem..."

   Fei Qian frowned slightly, "Shi Yuan, don't you mean..."

  Pang Tong nodded and said: "I have received some news... Let's go, let me sort it out first, and then I will show it to the lord after summarizing it..."

"it is good. 』

   Feiqian nodded, and then looked beyond Taiyuan's location to the northerly direction of the sand table.

  His eyes are deep, like the stars in the night sky, although they are not very dazzling, but no one knows how much time has passed...

  …(￣▽￣)~*…

  Eat whatever is lacking, and make up for what you think you can.

   seems to be very simple, and also makes sense.

  For example, someone feels that they lack brains, so they eat pig brains to make up for it...

  Hmm, there seems to be something wrong.

  Forget it, now Cao Cao is short of war horses, so he has to eat some war horses, of course not to eat them, but to buy them.

  Cao Chun is going to have a good talk with Jiankun people and buy some horses.

  Cao Chun knew that the Jiankun people had war horses, and the horses were not bad. Compared with Xianbei and the Huns before, Jiankun's war horses were taller, beautiful, brave, and loyal.

   Well, yes, loyalty is often one of the important criteria for humans to domesticate animals, but humans themselves...

  Cough cough.

  Because Jiankun lived together with Semu people from Western Europe before, some Western European horse breeds were naturally introduced.

   Among these Western European horse breeds, the most common one is the Iberian horse.

  Compared with Mongolian horses, Jiankun horses, which are more inclined to Iberian horses, are extraordinarily beautiful.

  The Iberian horse is a descendant of the Sorea horse, and they are full of charm in The Whore 2. Its head is medium-sized and looks very well-proportioned to its body. In addition, it is tall and slender, and its mane is thick and lush, and its mane and tail hair are often wavy and curly. Pioneering models, no matter who looks at them, they will feel their eyes shine.

   Including Cao Chun. Cao Chun had imagined more than once that he was riding on such a horse, how cool it would be... er, majestic...

   But the problem is that war horses are not cheap, especially Jiankun horses with some characteristics of Iberian horses are more expensive. It's not that Mongolian horses are so bad, but on the battlefield, if they compete with endurance and travel long distances, then Mongolian horses will definitely win. However, if it is a face-to-face confrontation, a dwarf-headed Mongolian horse will suffer a certain loss invisibly.

   This is something that all cavalry generals know well, so Cao Chun is eager to have such a group of horses, and then improve the combat effectiveness of his cavalry.

   It was Wang He who came again to negotiate with Cao Chun.

Cao Chun and Wang He sat down separately, and when they were about to be courteous, Wang He spoke first and said, "General Cao, there is no need to elaborate on the friendship between you and me... I really admire the general, but This war horse... I still have one thing to say, the price can't be reduced because of my friendship with the general... After all, even if I have this heart, I can't be the master. Can the general be considerate? 』

  Cao Chun was taken aback.

   If he denies it, saying that he is not in a hurry to lower the price of the war horse, Cao Chun doesn't have the confidence.

   Yes, no confidence.

   Could it be that no one in the Xiahou family of the Cao family wants to enter Chang'an and capture Feiqian alive?

   They dream of it.

   But the problem is that they are only dreaming now.

  Everyone knows that if you want to confront Fei Qian's soldiers head-on, you can't resist it. The generals are weak, the soldiers are also weak, the equipment is weak, the logistics supply is weak, and the morale and fighting spirit are also weak. How to fight this?

  Cao Chun was silent for a while, and then said: "Then, this price..."

Wang He looked at Cao Chun with a steady voice, "Excellent war horses, 1.5 million yuan each, rare war horses, 3.5 million yuan each...Ordinary poor horses, fifty, forget it, 450,000 yuan Enough…"

  As soon as Wang He opened his mouth, he almost scared Cao Chun.

   Simply put, war horses are also a commodity, so market demand and supply will affect the price of horses.

  At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, as an emperor, he couldn't even get four white horses together during major national sacrificial activities, which is enough to know how rare the number of war horses was at that time. At that time, a decent ordinary war horse cost about 30,000 yuan.

   Subsequently, the price of war horses rose all the way because of the demand for fighting the Huns. In the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the price of a stallion was as high as 200,000 yuan. There was a case that someone secretly sold a horse at a low price, and then charged 500 yuan for a profit. As a result, he was dismissed and punished...

  During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the price of horses dropped a little. The value of a rough horse used to pull a cart was around 10,000 yuan, and the value of riding a horse was basically 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. During the Jianwu period, Ma Yuan asked his son to give Du Lin a horse, because Du Lin was not only a friend from his hometown, but also Du Lin's horse had just passed away. After Du Lin went back later, he made people pay back 50,000 yuan. Of course, this may not necessarily reflect the price of horses at that time. One is that horses from Ma Yuan may be better, and there are also some hints of human relations, and the price given may deviate from the market price.

   When it came to the morale of Emperor Hanling, in the fourth year of Guanghe, Emperor Hanling was obstructed by the local wealthy family when he was recruiting horses. The price of a horse was as high as two million yuan. "In the first month of spring in the fourth year, he first set up the stables of Ji Ji, and received horses from the county and state. Hao You Gu doubt, one to two million horses. 』However, at this price, it is very likely that the local tyrants at that time were making troubles. After all, the relationship between Emperor Han Ling and the local gentry tyrants was not very good at that time. A few years later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion...

  So, at present, Wang He said 450,000 yuan for a poor horse, which is indeed too high.

  As for the premium war horses, the price of rare war horses has increased by more than ten times.

  Of course Cao Chun couldn't be taken advantage of by this, he immediately expressed his inappropriateness.

Wang He didn't care about Cao Chun's anger, he slowly calculated with his fingers: "General Cao, as far as I know, the price of war horses in the west is indeed lower, but those horses have been castrated... If they hadn't been castrated In fact, the price of war horses is about the same as ours... If we can replenish the number of war horses for General Cao at one time, then even if only half of the mares give birth to ponies, it means that the price of war horses will be cheaper again A few... and a horse can give birth to at least four or five offspring, so if you calculate it this way, General Cao, you should actually have taken advantage of it...』

  Cao Chun shook his head straightly, "How can this be calculated?" There are horses that have been raised to death, why are they not counted? If life counts, why doesn't death count? Moreover, raising horses also requires money, fodder, grooms, that doesn't require money, it's also a big expense! Why are these not counted? 』

  Wang He opened his eyes wide, "But we don't need fodder money...we don't have any horseman money either, we all raise horses by ourselves..."

  『Fuck…』Cao Chun was suddenly speechless.

After being silent for a while, Cao Chun rolled his eyes, "Well, on your side, the price will be lowered... Then I will get some good things for you... Of course, if you can help facilitate this deal, We will definitely thank you very much...」

  Wang He smiled, "Thank you General Cao for your kindness, but... But we don't need your utensils, as long as they are converted into money..."

"why? ”Cao Chun’s eyes widened, “How troublesome is it to settle with money? You still need to spend more money to buy, let’s not say that the price of scattered purchases will be higher, and you may not be able to get real good things... Don’t worry, the things produced by our Cao’s workshop must be better than those on the market. Regular utensils are better! 』

Wang He nodded, "I know this... But, hey, General Cao, let me tell you the truth, your stuff is really good, but the price is a bit expensive. Besides, compared to... um, The ones over there are still a little short... So we think it's better to buy them there with the money... It's more cost-effective... General Cao, do you think this makes sense? 』

"No! no! 』Cao Chun wanted to get angry, but he didn't know where to get angry. After all, what Wang He said was true. The industrial development in Guanzhong has obviously surpassed that of Shandong. The scale effect of integration has led to a reduction in costs and an increase in quality. This has had a huge impact on Shandong's workshops and workshops, which are dominated by traditional handicrafts.

Ordinary people don't know the political significance of things. Most people just look at whether things are good or bad. Therefore, even Cao Shi Xiahou and others impose political orders and gimmicks to require people to purchase products from Shandong workshops. It was just a flash in the pan. When the people found that the products of these workshops in Shandong were fools, and the products were not easy to sell and expensive, those only enthusiasms naturally dissipated.

  So at the moment, Cao Chun not only wants to buy Jiankun's war horse, but also wants to find a way to sell his own products.

"no! ”Cao Chun frowned, “This is absolutely impossible! 』

  Wang He waved his hand, not at all afraid of the breakdown of the negotiation, "General Cao, since this is the case...then General Cao will think about it for a while. If there is any change, we can continue talking..."

  『…』Cao Chun's face was as sinking as water, and his expression was uncertain.
