Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2889 Sichuan and Shu, the plan and the plan

  When Meng Huo faced Xu Shu, he was somewhat afraid and nervous.

  He is not afraid of Han people wielding knives and guns, but he is afraid of Han people using their brains.

  Han people hold knives and guns, he can still make gestures with Han people, but Han people use their brains...

   Especially when facing Xu Shu, Meng Huo couldn't guess what he was thinking!

  Ba people?

  Padang?

  Meng Huo's cerebellum spun rapidly, and he was short of adding a supercharger.

Badong, like Nanzhong, although it is said to be Han County on the surface, in fact there are many ethnic minorities, but because they have lived together since the pre-Qin period, basically there is not much ethnic hatred. The degree of hatred between them is not too high.

In this area, there have been Ba Kingdoms, Yelang Kingdoms, and so on. Perhaps some people were thinking about restoring the country at the beginning, but hundreds of years have passed, and no matter how strong the love for restoring the country is, it will follow. Disappears with the death of the body.

  From a macro perspective, there are only two ethnic minorities in Sichuan and Sichuan.

One is the Di people of the Qiang people who came from the north, and evolved into the Kun, Sou, Bo, Qingqiang, Qiong, Ruo and other tribes, while the other is based on Baiyue as the clan, such as Pu, Liao, Xiao, Wait a minute. There are also some more detailed classifications, so I won't go into details.

  Of course, these tribal peoples are not necessarily distributed from north to south, but because of the evolution of time and historical changes, they are intertwined with each other. It's like the old man is actually mostly in Nanzhong...

  The Pu family in Baiyue is also called Baipu, and sometimes it is almost equivalent to Baiyue.

   During the Battle of Muye, the Pu people participated in the battle, and it is said that there were quite a few of them. A country was also established at one time, but because it did not have a sufficient political system and no corresponding cultural derivatives, it was destroyed by Chu State very early. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Pu people were even more scattered, and then the Liao people were also derived.

  As for the Ba people and the Jin people, there are actually some derivative relationships. Anyway, in this era of extremely underdeveloped communications, changing the totem at will may become a new tribe.

  These ethnic minorities have a problem, that is, in the long history, they have not produced a core centripetal force, and naturally there is no way to talk about the so-called sense of belonging.

Because there is no unified thinking, there is no concept of compatriots among the various tribes. Therefore, this time, some Ba people came to Bashan to express their search for ancestors, and then to mention the long history of Ba people and their mutual affection. It will seem a little weird. .

  But this is a matter for the Ba people!

  Meng Huo muttered in his heart, what does this have to do with me?

  Glaozi is not from Ba!

   At best, they can only be regarded as the barbarians in the southwest, that is, the descendants of the Pu people.

  But Meng Huo didn't know, it was because he was not from Ba that he was specially called to come.

  Meng Huo wanted nothing to do with himself, but since he entered the officialdom and received his salary, he had to do something.

  Xu Shu looked at Meng Huo scratching his head, knowing in his heart that Meng Huo's behavior was somewhat pretentious, and he didn't point it out, "Lieutenant Meng, since you can't think of anything, let's do something." 』

  Meng Huo took a deep breath, "But please give me your instructions!" The next official will do everything! ’ Great, no need to use your brain.

  Xu Shu said slowly: "You send some of your clansmen, wearing Ba people's costumes, to the Ba people's villages and fortresses to find out the current situation of the Ba people. If you have any information, report it immediately!" 』

  Meng Huo naturally responded repeatedly, and then backed away without mentioning it.

  Xu Shu watched Meng Huo walk away, still thinking about it. Although he said that he asked Meng Huo to come, he just asked a question or two, and then explained a few words, but the meaning behind it was actually not simple.

  Meng Huo is not from Pakistan, so it is impossible to have any deep collusion with them, but it cannot be said to be completely certain, so this is an early temptation.

Sichuan and Shu is an area with a few ethnic groups. Although there is no affiliation between the various ethnic groups, and there is no basis for mutual cooperation, there will be more or less the effect of the death of the rabbit and the fox. Therefore, when dealing with some of them When you are in one tribe, you should also observe the attitudes of other tribes.

   It’s like this time when the Ba people came, we have to see how the descendants of the Pu people, or the Southwestern Yi people, would react.

In addition, if Meng Huo really did not get involved in the affairs of the Ba people, then it could be suitable as a window to spy on the news. After all, Meng Huo and his subordinates usually like to dress up as barbarians, have tattoos on their faces, and like to smear them Some colors and so on are very different from the daily behavior of Han people, so it is easier to mix into the ranks of Ba people, inquire about the specific situation, and compare it with what Ba people reported.

The third point is that not long after Nanzhong was settled, although Zhuge Liang split up the alliance of Nanzhong's powerful alliance by opening up roads, withdrawing villages and building villages, this does not mean that the threat of Nanzhong disappeared immediately, and we still need to be on guard . Now the tyrants in Nanzhong are smiling, that is because Sichuan and Shu have made subsidies.

   Wait until the subsidy is cancelled, or when the tilt is reduced?

   This original kindness may have turned into hatred!

When to reduce or exempt, and under what name to cancel, are all a matter of knowledge, and they are all issues to be considered. It is impossible to say that a document will be issued, and then it will be like a school in later generations asking children's parents to donate resources for free services. Yes, or no? After all, the number of these Nanzhong children in Xu Shu's current Sichuan and Shu Academy is not large enough, and he can't pinpoint the vitals of his parents like the later schools, and make the parents want to die.

  So, if there is something wrong with Meng Huo this time, he can immediately use this reason to...

   In addition, there is another point. It is obviously unrealistic and impossible to stare at so many Ba people in Bashan, but it is easy to stare at Meng Huo alone.

   It is the right way to use people to control people.

If Xu Shu wants to govern Sichuan and Shu, he cannot do without the Han people, and of course these tribal leaders are also indispensable. When enlightening, it usually takes two or three generations to gradually show results. Replacement, in order to pursue the performance of personal achievements, intentionally or unintentionally negates the previous practice, which interrupts the process and leads to the wastage of previous efforts.

  Fei Qian sent Xu Shu to Sichuan and Shu, and then sent Zhuge to Sichuan. Basically, it is equivalent to two generations of local leaders.

And Xu Shu also needs to consider the candidates for the leader of the third generation, that is, there is a high probability that he will select outstanding children from the Chengdu Academy and report them to Chang'an. Chang'an studied, then returned to Sichuan and Shu, and then selected the most suitable person to assume the responsibility of the third generation of local leaders.

   All of this is based on people.

  Talent is fundamental.

  If the whole environment is turbulent and unsettled, the people at the top and bottom cannot agree, the people at the bottom are precarious, and the middle-class gentry are in a dilemma. Even if the people standing on top sing loudly all day long, can there be talent?

  As the chief steward of the entire Sichuan and Shu, Xu Shu must ensure that the entire Sichuan and Shu will not be affected by the Jiangdong War. Xu Shu knew very well that if Sichuan and Shu were not chaotic, even Zhou Yu would not be able to fight into Sichuan and Shu. So Zhou Yu's overall strategy is very simple, increase the pressure on Sichuan and Shu, and then cause civil strife in Sichuan and Shu, and then have opportunities to take advantage of.

   Therefore, Xu Shu not only needs to watch the outside line, but also needs to watch the inside line.

  『Report to the envoy, Fa Xiao has come straight. 』

  The servants under the hall report.

  Xu Shu nodded, "Please. 』

  The identity of Fazheng makes Fazheng Society inherently superior, and it is a political group that is more suitable for being close to Feiqian.

  In history, Fazheng was also an important figure who welcomed Liu Bei into Sichuan, which shows that his relationship with the local gentry in Sichuan and Shu was not very harmonious. This incompatibility is more due to the inconsistency in attitudes towards affairs, especially political power.

  Although Fazheng is said to be the empress of Fazhen, a celebrity, he did not get such an excellent and comfortable life. Instead, he had to flee to Sichuan for refuge because of the turmoil in the world. Moreover, after arriving in Sichuan and Shu, the people of Sichuan and Shu ignored Fazheng with a foreign accent, and even rejected him a little. Therefore, Fazheng could not truly integrate with Sichuan and Shu, and could only seek to develop with external forces like Fei Qian and Xu Shu. Self, that is, the interests of a win-win situation.

  『Meet the envoy. 』Fazheng bowed in salute.

  Xu Shu asked him to sit down, and then asked: "When the Ba people came to Badong, did Xiaozhi know?" 』

  Fazheng laughed, "This is Jiangdong's plan. 』

  Xu Shu nodded slightly and smiled, "Let me ask Xiao Xiao to discuss it directly." 』

  Fazheng stroked his beard, "Throw stones first to ask for directions, and then hit east and west, maybe Li Daitao will be followed by Li Daitao..."

  Xu Shu nodded, but after pondering, he said: "Xiaozhi still has something to say, so you might as well speak up." 』

  Fazheng's eyes moved slightly, gliding left and right.

  Xu Shu waved his hand, signaling the surrounding servants to back down.

  So Fazheng said in a low voice: "The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, but I don't know whether Jiang Dong wants to be a mantis or just a hunter." Back then when the lord entered Sichuan, in Sichuan and Sichuan, he was overjoyed at first, but now...」

  Xu Shu smiled and said, "But what about Li Qiao?" 』

  Fazheng nodded, "Zheng heard about it recently, and there are some rumors...that Li Qiao was wronged..."

  Xu Shu snorted, "Does this mean that the treatment was unfair?" 』

When dealing with those ordinary people, the sons of the gentry never say that they will give them an extra chance. They always say that those troublesome people just have to make a good job, otherwise they don’t understand how high the sky is and how thick the earth is, etc., but once the law restricts them If you are a son of an official in the gentry system, some people will immediately change their mouths, saying that people are not sages and sages can do nothing, should they be given some opportunities to correct their mistakes...

When Xu Shu dealt with Li Qiao and others before, the momentum was so great that these gentry children didn't dare to dance on the fire, let alone fight the fire in private. Now that the momentum has passed, someone started to pick it up again, taking advantage of Jiangdong When the attack came, he flipped his lips. It may not be that they really want to overthrow Fei Qian and Xu Shu, but they are just making a show and seeking some benefits.

   These gentry children will not touch the red line drawn by Xu Shu, such as prices, but will continue to test in other marginal areas...

   This can be regarded as the basic art skills of the children of the gentry.

  Fazheng's expression turned cold, and he said, "Zheng suspects that Jiangdong spies intend to take this opportunity to cause trouble. 』Whether it’s entertainment or not, let’s talk about the nature first.

  Xu Shu smiled slightly, without revealing Fazheng's small thoughts, "You Wen Division is checking. But I'm afraid some people are short of manpower, Xiaozhi, you can deploy some good patrol inspectors to cooperate with the news department to conduct inspections. 』

  The territory of Sichuan and Shu is not small, and there are various landforms such as mountains, forests, rivers and rivers. If you really want to hide a few people, let alone a big man, even later generations will not be easy to check.

  Fazheng responded, then glanced at Xu Shu, cupped his hands and said, "If the scholars in Sichuan and Shu are involved in conspiracy, and have access to foreign enemies... I don't know the envoy, how should I deal with it?" 』

  『How is it in the academy? Xu Shu asked instead.

  『Not yet chaotic. ”Fazheng said, “We are sending some soldiers to strengthen the inspection around the school palace, but...this can prevent the open place, but not the dark place...in case the students in the school palace are bewitched by others and make trouble..."

  The Academy is a very important part of the education process. If there is a problem in the academy, it is very likely that a lot of work that has been laid out before will be wasted.

  Chengdu Xuegong is longer than Anxuegong. The biggest problem is that there is no Qinglong Temple.

   Without Qinglong Temple, there would be no way to invite so many great Confucians from all over the world, almost the top scholars who can represent the whole Han Dynasty. If all the so-called great Confucian scholars in central Sichuan were invited, they might soon go back to Chenwei's old path. Therefore, in the Chengdu Academy, the content of learning is actually a little behind, that is, those things that have been discussed and discussed in the Chang'an Academy.

  The advantage of this is that there is no need to discuss it further, and the disadvantage is also the same.

   Without discussion and debate, just blindly learning and memorizing by rote. On the one hand, the memory is not deep, and on the other hand, it cannot completely eliminate some doubts in the learning process...

  Adolescents failed to form a solid three views and were easily subverted.

Therefore, under Fei Qian's rule, as long as the territory is more stable, the school will be opened first. This is also a tradition since Hedong. In the long run, start from the child's ideological level, instead of waiting until a group of children are shouting for you When I was a sixth child, I only had a headache and treated my head and feet, and by the way, I banned this and that, so what did I do long ago?

  Before he laughed, when he was holding all kinds of benefits and collecting all kinds of taxes, why didn't any brick family called the beast out and screamed?

  『Well, that’s a problem. ”Xu Shu said slowly, “Then...you might as well advance the big competition. 』

  『School Competition? "Fazheng asked, "This... I'm afraid it's a bit hasty. 』

  『It’s indeed a bit hasty. Xu Shu said, "But it's okay, let's increase the rewards generously, and people will come naturally... Besides, these rewards can't be in the name of the government... Well, yes, it's a gift from various workshops and shops..."

  If Fei Qian is present, he must give Xu Shu a thumbs up.

  Although Xu Shu didn't know that there was a so-called nominal sponsorship business model in later generations, but Xu Shu also knew it without a teacher. Under the hussars, the reason for the "sponsorship" of these official workshops and shops was originally to make the prizes of the school competition more generous and divert the attention of the students, but at the same time, this kind of richness should not be allowed. The prizes become the official rule, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain the big competition in the future.

  In addition to this consideration, Xu Shu also considered one thing, which is to improve the reputation of some official workshops and shops in the hearts of the students in the academy...

  Cultivate usage habits, of course, start with teenagers.

  When Fei Qian first entered Sichuan, he adopted a gentle strategy for the Sichuan and Shu gentry system, just like Liu Beihui married the widow of the Wu family, just to show a win-win attitude of cooperation. It's just that the way Liu Bei adopted was to unite the head strength of the Sichuan and Shu gentry, and then check and balance Sichuan and Shu, while Fei Qian focused on the middle level of the Sichuan and Shu gentry from the beginning, and adopted the method of directly following the market economy and invading with commodities. Strategy.

It's like the same two apps, one is looking for someone from the top, or some big V or something, advocating, spreading around what kind of conscientious work, cheap and good, and so on, and the other is not found Those brick-and-mortar companies simply offered discounts to suppress people with capital.

  So Liu Bei, who doesn't have much capital, can't support it...

  Liu Bei was defeated in the competition for the Sichuan-Shu market, and even Liu Zhang, who was a native of Sichuan, was also swept down. Of course, Fei Qian began to use the later capital street lamp method, so the Sichuan-Shu gentry began to feel that something was wrong.

   But the problem is that these Sichuan and Shu gentry couldn't keep up, they just felt that Fei Qian was leading the wrong way, but they couldn't figure out what the problem was. For example, Li Qiao felt that their old road was better, used to it, and comfortable. After Li Qiao, especially the Qiao family incident, the gentry children in Sichuan and Shu obviously calmed down a lot, but this does not mean that they are convinced in their hearts. Maybe they also know that taking the path of Feiqian is the right way, but if they Let them let go of the existing benefits in their hands, and in the long run, they will be more or less concerned about gains and losses.

So not only did Li Qiao engage in rumors before, but now there are also some other Sichuan and Shu gentry children. In normal times, there are more or less words that belittle official workshops and shops, such as expressing their own Private property is the best, all private customization is high-end goods and so on.

  Fazheng was in charge of the matter before, which was to regulate the customs of the Sichuan and Shu gentry after the Qiao family. It's also pretty much the same thing he's done historically. In history, after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Fazheng disguised himself as a black face and began to rectify the gentry in Sichuan and Shu, and then Zhuge came to reconcile. Therefore, Fazheng naturally admired Xu Shu's strategy of killing multiple birds with one stone.

   However, it is not a big problem to stabilize the academy, but it is not a big competition to solve the problem of stabilizing Baren Bashan, as well as the entire Sichuan and Shu...

Now Jiangdong uses the Palestinians as the entry point, just like the invasion and attack in Go. If it is not handled properly, it may be corrupted and opened up. When it is dealt with later, it may become a living game. Loss, even the momentum will be weakened.

  『Jiangdong still has some capable people...』 After thinking for a moment, Xu Shu suddenly laughed, and clapped his hands and said, "But this Jiangdong has a disadvantage, which cannot be avoided... After all, Jiangdong is a long way away..."

  Fazheng twitched his brows and eyes, "Your Majesty's meaning is..."

  『Well,』 Xu Shu nodded, 『Those who are imaginary are real, and those who are real are not. This Jiangdong intends to disrupt Sichuan and Shu, what does it want to do? Is it really for taking Sichuan and Shu? It's a long way. Although if Jiangdong took Sichuan and Shu, it would indeed be possible to occupy the upper and lower reaches of the river, but how could the river turn back and forth in the middle of the river, so how can it be connected smoothly and travel without hindrance? What's more, there are people like "Li Qiao" in Sichuan and Shu. Could it be that Jiangdong is as stable as a mountain? 』

  Hearing Xu Shu's words, Fazheng's thoughts suddenly became clear, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's words are true!" Zhengfang's thoughts are limited to Sichuan and Shu. Due to the fact that the gentry in Sichuan and Shu have no countermeasures, I have to remind you, but I have thought of a strategy...why not use it? 』
