Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2932 It's rare to have a lover, love money more than life

  Li Dian sat on the horse, and after a long time, he looked away from the burnt fields.

  The Zhuanghe in these fields is about to mature, and it should have ushered in the glory that belongs to Zhuanghe, but it was destroyed by man.

   It was too late to fight the fire.

  In this kind of weather, it can't be extinguished when it burns.

   Fortunately, these farmlands were surrounded by ridges, which somewhat limited the spread of the fire. In addition, some people discovered that fighting with those who set the fire caused a warning, so they were not destroyed in a row.

  『The people who guarded the fields were all killed...』

  The dead bodies are lined up on the ground.

   It's like a burnt Zhuanghe, dilapidated.

  There are infinite possibilities only when people are alive.

  When a person dies, he is dead, and there is only one possibility left: ashes to ashes to ashes.

  Some corpses were thrown in the field, and they had been turned into charcoal with Zhuang He. The corpses placed in front of Li Dian were still relatively complete.

  The remaining black smoke filled the surroundings, as if the shady curtain of war was spreading.

  Looking at the mountains and forests, Li Dian was furious. In front of the local officials and the people who rushed over, he shouted angrily, and his voice shook the field, as if he was too angry to control himself...

  『This is treason! ’ Li Dian was furious, ‘Destroy my food and grass, and I will never be pardoned! 』

  The local officials and the villagers looked at each other in dismay.

  The word "rebellion" should never be used lightly. Once it is deployed, it is like some legendary swords. It will not return to its sheath unless it is stained with enough blood...

   Now it is obvious that Tianmu did not spontaneously combust, at least those corpses who were originally guarding Tianmu, it is obviously impossible for them to stab themselves in the back and then "suicide". So there is no doubt that someone is doing sabotage.

  『These people who died because of obstructing and rebelling will be compensated according to the number of deaths in battle! Li Dian was still full of anger, the muscles on his face were beating, "Tell their family members that Ben will behead the murderer to comfort him!" 』

  Local officials are submissive.

  Soon scouts came back to report that they had found some traces, and combined with the situation on the spot, they deduced that it was the Hu people in the mountain, maybe it was the Di people and the Jin people who did it...

  Li Dian immediately ordered people to "invite" the Pushidi people.

  When Pu Shi came, everyone was dumbfounded.

  At this time, Li Dian had already asked his soldiers to start building temporary barracks in the nearby area, and began to arrange fixed-point sentries and patrolling cavalry. Teams of soldiers patrolled the mountains and forests back and forth, monitoring all the movements around them, looking murderous.

  『General! This matter has nothing to do with me! I was wronged, wronged! ’ As soon as the King of Pu’s Di people saw Li Dian, he rushed forward and bowed down on the ground, “I swear to God Di! Definitely not me! 』

  『Di God? swear? ’ Li Dian sneered and said, ‘Did your **** Di say who did it? 』

  『This…』The king of Pushi Diren naturally didn't know. Although he guessed a little, how could he say it so easily, so he pretended to be stupid, "This... how could I know...there are so many people on the mountain, coming and going..."

  『Your Dishen, doesn’t it have one more eye than ordinary people? Li Dian sneered, "I can't see with an extra eye, so what do I need the extra eyeball for?" Forget it! Let me tell you, the man who came to attack smelled like fish! Who do you think it will be? ! 』

  The **** of the Di people lives in water and has three eyes. Therefore, the Di people also like to peel off the skin of the fish and stick it on their bodies as decorations to show that they are close to God. After a long time, some fishy smell is inevitable on Diren's body.

  Later it was said that Erlang God is the **** of the Di people, with three eyes, who raises dogs, and likes to fish with a harpoon, and then the harpoon evolved into a three-pointed, two-edged knife...

Although Pu said that he has mainly settled down, he no longer lives after chasing aquatic plants, and no longer has fish skin on his body, but he is aware of the habits of this Di people, and he heard Li Dian say that it smells like fish. , There was a thump in my heart.

  Erlang God or something, Pu Shi still doesn't know, but neither the Yin people nor the Yi people have the habit of sticking fish skin on their bodies, so they can't find an excuse.

  『Before there were Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui, now...』 Li Dian looked at Pu Shi, as if he was staring at a prey, examining where would be the best way to strike, and said, 『Is this what you guys rewarded Yu Mou? Treat my good intentions like sand and stones and throw them away at will! The Zhuanghe that I have worked so hard to plant is to be burned at will! 』

  Pu Shi fell to his knees with a plop, "General! We are good people too! You know, Di people are good and bad, and those who can do this kind of thing must be bad. If the general puts the blame on us, wouldn't that make the bad guys happier? General Mingcha! 』

  『How can I know you are good? Others are bad? ’ Li Dian said with narrowed eyes.

  『This...Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui are bad! We are good! 』 Subconsciously, Pu wanted to throw all the blame on Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui.

  Anyway, it is impossible for Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui to come forward to defend themselves, so what's the problem with taking the blame for two or three more?

   Li Dian sneered. Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui were hiding in the forests in the south and east of Hanzhong, and basically had nothing to do with the Qinling Mountains in the north, but Li Dian didn't want to expose Pu's lies, but took advantage of the situation and said: "What you said is true? 』

  『Uh, this, this...of course it is true! 』Pu Shi swallowed his saliva and nodded in response.

   Now that things are up to now, it is naturally impossible for King Pushidi to change his mouth and say, General, I am joking with you. Look at this joke, is it funny...

  『Very well, you send people to gather the kings of the Di people, the kings of the Jin people, and the kings of the Yi people. After fifteen days, gather in Nanzheng! Let's discuss and suppress the conspiracy together! ’ Li Dian said with a sneer, ‘If you don’t come…hehe, then don’t say that this general didn’t show his respects first and then his soldiers! 』

  Pu Shi didn't care to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and promised repeatedly, but wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but was stopped by Li Dian, "Where are you going?" 』

  『I...I am, no, general, you don’t want to notify...」Pu Shi pointed to the outside of the barracks, as if a prisoner who was about to be released on parole was stopped again, with a tangled face, "I will notify..."

  『Why did you go to inform that you are the only one in your tribe? Then what do you still call Direnwang, call it the errand king! Li Dian waved his hand, "Let your hands go down and notify!" You stay here! Let's see how much these unburned Zhuanghe can harvest! 』

Although most of the land reclamation villages were burned, some survived because someone warned them. Li Dian wanted Pu to be a witness to understand how productive the barbarians around Hanzhong are. Low, and use this as a lever to change the production and living habits of these Hu people, so that these Hu people will move from the mountains to the fields.

   Carrots, big sticks, none of them can be missing.

  Pu Shi, perhaps the earliest donkey.

  『Just a party? 』The king of Pushidi was not at ease. What if some king came, and then Li Dian made a mess? The prefects and generals of the big man did not do this kind of thing less. They said it was a peace negotiation, and then they suddenly murdered all the Hu men who participated in the talks, and then plundered the women as slaves...

   Li Dian seemed to understand Pu's worries, so he said, "It is also possible to send a representative...but a representative who can make decisions!" At that time, what resolutions will be discussed at the meeting must be determined on the spot! Don't ask what to say at that time, you can't make the decision! The ugly words were mentioned earlier, if such a situation really happened, it would be intentional to make things difficult for everyone! In the end, swords and guns meet each other, so don't complain! 』

  Pushi wiped the sweat from his brow, "That's, that's, the general is right, right..."

Wang does not need to come in person, which shows that Li Dian has already taken a step back, and at the same time proves that Li Dian's killing intent towards them, the barbarian kings, is not too strong, and he really wants to discuss and solve some problems together, so as the informer The king of Pushi Diren also began to ponder in his heart. After all, the authority to notify is in his hands. It seems that he can make some small fuss about who to notify and how to notify, such as asking Liang Diren...

  Pu's Diren Wang thought of this, and suddenly became excited, patted his chest and said that he could inform Li Dian in place, so that Li Dian could rest assured.

   Li Dian nodded slightly. Pu Shi made some small moves, he can pretend not to know, after all, now he needs to convey the decree to a farther place, and he has to take the first step first. As for whether Pu's is in place or in his stomach, it's not too late to process it slowly later.

Although the sudden appearance of Wang Kai, a crappy lobbyist, and what happened here in Tian Mu cast some shadows in Li Dian's mind, but Li Dian's trust in Huqi Feiqian and his judgment on the general trend of the world still made Li Dian Dian firmly stood on Chang'an's side, and worked hard to solve the various problems that appeared in front of him.

  In the autumn of the eighth year of Taixing, in Hanzhong and Nanzheng, what Li Dian didn't know was that he took this opportunity inadvertently to create the first large-scale consultation meeting of representatives of Hu people. Of course, this is just the beginning, and the subsequent changes are the real direction that leads to the correct path of government orders leading to the countryside...

  …━((*′д｀)精(′д｀*))━!!!!…

"What? 』

   Shen Yi could hardly believe her ears.

  『Isn’t Li Mancheng talking nonsense with his eyes open? ! ”Shen Yi slapped the table with a loud bang, “Obviously it was done by the Di people in Qinling, but Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui are the ones who are talking about it! This is for Liang Di people to do! I don't believe he doesn't know! 』

The choice of Liang Di people, one is that the Liang Di people are stupid enough, and the other is that the Liang Di people are all in the Qinling Mountains. Once Li Dian really sends troops to clean up, there will be fewer soldiers and no one can be caught. If there are too many soldiers, the same is true. Can't catch people.

  The Qinling Mountains are so big, if Liang people really want to hide and hide, they can hide for ten or eight years!

As long as Li Dian was a little careless and started the battle easily, then the Shen family would immediately follow up, lift Li Dian high, and set him up to such an extent that even if he wanted to step down, he would not be able to find a ladder. At that time, Li Dian could only admit defeat, or bite the bullet and stick to it. Regardless of whether he admits to defeat or persists, the final result will lead to unnecessary consumption of troops, money and food in Hanzhong, and will also make Li Dian in other areas. The control power of the government has weakened, causing more people's livelihood problems...

   And all of this has obviously been repaired and paved with stone slabs, but Li Dian will not follow this way!

  How can this work?

  『Li Mancheng is full of lies! He lied! ”Shen Yi patted the table, “How can he lie? ! 』

  A liar hates being lied to.

   A person who plays tricks hates others' tricks against him the most.

   Shen Yi felt that Li Dian was simply shameless and vulgar, how could he lie so openly?

  『Explore him! "Shen Yi even lost part of her sanity because of anger, "I want to expose this guy's lies!" 』

  Shen Dan was silent for a while, and said: "No. 』

"Why? ! 』Shen Yi was still immersed in anger, but after seeing his brother's serious face, she calmed down somewhat, thought for a while, and said, "Understood... I was wrong... But, I can't let Li Mancheng do things like this..."

  Shen Dan nodded, and then changed the topic to another direction, "I heard that... a person was detained in Nanzheng Prison... It is said that he is a fellow of Li Mancheng... he is crying for grievances and mourning all day long..."

  『Fellow townsman? 』Shen Yi's eyes moved.

  Everyone knows that Li Dian's hometown is not in Hanzhong, nor in Kansai, but in Shandong. The synonym for Li Dian's hometown, naturally represents the people from Shandong...

  『So...』 Shen Yi frowned and said, 『This is a lobbyist, and then Li Mancheng took it down to show his loyalty? 』

   Shen Dan nodded, then smiled, "If this lobbyist is really from Shandong... do you know what it means?" 』

  Shen Yi suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Hussars are in trouble!" 』

   You must know that almost all of the hussars are generals with foreign surnames, or surrendered generals!

  And once one of them has a problem, it will inevitably lead to a series of problems!

  In other words, there is no need for a real problem at all, as long as the minds of these people on and off the hussars waver and think that there may be a problem, then there will definitely be a problem...

  Arimonji of the hussars, those hyena-like guys, wouldn't they be excited if they smelled it?

  『In that case, we just need to spread some rumors... Right! A few days ago, didn’t Zhang of Dali Temple work in Hanzhong? Do you want to... Hahaha..." Shen Yi smiled, it seemed that it was because he could lie wantonly at the moment, and he mobilized some nerves in his body and became excited.

But Shen Dan shook his head, smiled and said: "Wrong, this time, since Shandong has made a move... we'd better not get involved for now... we should go to Jingxiang now... the land of the mediocre, we should fully shrink , stockpiling grain and grass for emergencies... Alas, it's a pity that these coins are too difficult to imitate..."

  The first generation of Zhengxi coins already embodied the technology of industrial processing and manufacturing. Stamping and casting are two completely different concepts. In the coin-making workshop where the craftsmanship is strictly kept secret, how to make the coins have neat serrated edges is a difficult problem that the Shen brothers can't solve at present.

Of course, it is impossible for Feiqian's current stamping machine tools to have the tough and high-quality alloy steel of later generations, but because of the industrious and intelligent craftsmen of the Han Dynasty, because of their familiarity with bronze crafts, they skillfully took advantage of the fact that the softening temperature of bronze is lower than that of steel. The melting point of bronze doped with alloys is lower than that of pure copper, so that when the copper softens, it can be easily stamped.

   It is a bit fuel-intensive, but these days, Fei Qian is using coal in large-scale industrialization alone, so it is almost equivalent to an unlimited amount of fuel...

And people like Shangyong Shen and others can't break through this link in the craftsmanship, so they can't imitate Zhengxi coins on a large scale, let alone the more refined and patterned hussars coins in the later period .

  This makes old-school gentry families like the Shen family hate Zhengxi money very much. Because they can't dissolve the copperware they store on a large scale and realize it quickly.

  Thinking of this incident, Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh deeply.

  It was like what a certain pretender in later generations said, he had no interest in money. To a certain extent, this is true. After reaching a certain level of wealth, money is "useless" to him personally, because he himself does not count how much money he spends every day, and how much he spends on food and clothing in a month. How much is it? Basically, the concept of using money has been lost, and it is more about converting money into assets, including various living and production materials, and using this to deprive and occupy more people's labor surplus value.

Because of the small-scale peasant economic system in the ancient feudal society, the total amount of copper coins circulating in a certain area is actually not much, so it is very convenient for local wealthy families, big families and surnames to use copper coins, grain and cloth to exchange each other , Large-scale control of the amount of money invested and money, triggering small-scale inflation and deflation, in order to harvest the wealth of ordinary people.

  Because ordinary people in the feudal era could only save a small amount of money every day, and the more money they saved, the more they would be harvested by this method. If they saved a lifetime of money, they would be cut off for a lifetime. This is the ultimate real purpose of those who preach how good the small peasant economy is every day.

   Shen Shi hated Fei Qian, and what he hated was Fei Qian's methods.

  Hate the new acreage system, hate the new production workshops, hate the small peasant economic system that Fei Qian gradually broke down...

  As long as the Shandong gentry can still freely exploit small farmers and tenants, then these gentry in Shanxi will be jealous and hate, and they will never feel happy. The more self-enclosed and powerful the gentry, the more uncomfortable the changes brought about by Fei Qian. They want to return to the original economic system, they want to return to the years when they have the final say, and they want to become a big local power that straddles black and white, so they make unremitting efforts to sell everything they can sell, including their own souls.

  Shen quickly sent someone to Jingxiang to contact Cao Jun...

  Anyway, Shangyong is next door to Xiangyang, although the next door is somewhat far away.
