Three Kingdoms

  『Five gains? 』

   Fei Zhen frowned, how many? He can only think of three aspects at most.

  Pang Tong chuckled and motioned Fei Zhen to talk first.

Fei Zhen scratched her fingers and said: "First, if Prime Minister Cao can get it from Guanzhong, naturally there is no need to say anything. This is the case. Second, if Prime Minister Cao can't get it from Guanzhong, then Prime Minister Cao can use this to unify Shandong. In addition to those who are separated from each other, gather friends of the same class, gather a group of property and land... The third thing, I just thought of it... Prime Minister Cao may have long wanted to sever the Guan, but the people in Shandong did not allow it, so this time Let’s just take this opportunity... Well, from now on, each will rely on their strength, just like the battle between Qin and Zhao in the Warring States Period...』

  Pang Tong applauded.

  Zaozhi also gave Fei Zhen a thumbs up.

  As the earliest counselors who followed Fei Qian, both Pang Tong and Zaozhi hoped that Fei Qian’s successor would be capable, not a high-ranking yamen who was stupid and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

  Fei Zhen laughed, and curiously asked what Pang Tong was talking about...

  Pang Tong smiled, originally he didn't want to talk about it, but Fei Zhen begged again and again, and finally said: "Actually, it's only five words, "Military People, Government and Opposition League". 』

  『Military and civilian ruling and opposition alliance? ’ Fei Zhen repeated, and then thought about it, the more she thought about it, she felt that the three points she just mentioned seemed to be just one word in Pang Tong’s "soldier"? The original smug smile turned a little embarrassed.

  Zaozhi tried to appease, "When I was Shizi's age, I only knew about flowers and plants, and I didn't want to study at all..."

  Obviously, Zaozhi doesn't really know how to comfort people.

   Fei Zhen nodded, and then she still refused to stop thinking, "This "people"...ah, I understand! When the war starts, Shandong will inevitably need to enlist civil servants, transfer food and grass, and transport military supplies. Prime Minister Cao must have swallowed these civil servants conscripted from the land of Shandong in the end! On the one hand, it can strengthen itself, and on the other hand, it can invade the powerful gentry in Shandong! 』

  Pang Tong's eyes lit up slightly, "That's right. 』

  Just now when Fei Zhen said three points, Pang Tong clapped his hands in exaggerated praise, but now he just said something good, which made Fei Zhen even more motivated and excited.

   Fei Zhen scratched her fingers, ""Chao", Prime Minister Cao was originally in the court hall, and it is not completely possible to cover the sky with one hand! This round of probing, in addition to the military gains, can also determine the enemies and friends in the court! Regardless of victory or defeat, Prime Minister Cao can take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents! Even if it is defeated, it can be said that these dissidents are holding back and avoiding future troubles! 』

  Not only Pang Tong, but also Zaozhi beside him, nodded.

  Fei Zhen's thinking became more and more smooth, and her mind was clear, ""Wild" are those local gentry in Shandong that Uncle Shi Yuan mentioned before. They only want to be safe and free in the wild!" These people... By the way, Uncle Shi Yuan just said that before the Cao family had rumors about Guanzhong and my father, so these wandering local gentry still don't care about Guanzhong! Now, regardless of victory or defeat, it is enough to reverse these rumors! Gather the power of Shandong in opposition! And this "Alliance" is Jiangdong! 』

  Although there were some discrepancies, Pang Tong applauded again, and Zaoyi gave another thumbs up.

Although it is similar to the previous praise, but this time Fei Zhen really felt the joy surging in her heart, but also deeply felt the gap with Pang Tong and others, so she returned the gift with a humble attitude and thanked her. Pang Tong asked for the main points.

  『War, if you can win, it is naturally the best. ” Pang Tong said, “However, in many battles, the response was hasty or forced, so we had to consider what would happen if we were defeated. Those who can benefit from victories, ancient and modern people do not know how many people, only those who can benefit from defeats, but not many... But this Cao Mengde, who challenged Dong Qijun, won several victories and defeats, It is the leader among them who is best at chaotic warfare and profiting from chaos, so we must guard against it...』

Zaozhi added from the side: "Nowadays, the temperature in the Northern Territory is dropping year by year, and the time of freezing is getting earlier, which is consistent with what the Lord said... I am afraid that the day when the climate will change is not far away... At that time, the spring will be very cold and the summer will be sweltering." Drought, no harvest in autumn, and ice in winter... Although the land of Shandong is located in the Central Plains, Prime Minister Cao is probably aware of it...』

  Pang Tong fell silent, his expression quite serious.

  Fei Qian has been thinking about the follow-up to the Little Ice Age.

Historically, after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao changed from offensive to defensive. Of course, it is more likely that the Qingzhou soldiers in his hands were basically wiped out. On the other hand, the climate in the north may have changed, and the continuous The campaign did not recover in time, and the North had to enter defensive mode due to various factors.

  Of course, this may only be part of the reason...

After the economy has developed to a certain level, it is even more impossible to say that it is separated from the overall society and develop independently, just like Guanzhong, if there are no gentry tyrants in Shandong, these decades or even hundreds of years of family wealth accumulation, Fei moved into Chang'an It is also difficult to find a suitable market for the various luxury goods launched, as well as those expensive products from the Western Regions.

  In the land of Shandong, there are many gentry clans, each with their own entourages. Similarly, Feiqian can't be regarded as very united here. There will always be only a very small number of people who are truly united, and most of the rest are followers, even blind followers, or people who are swept away and have to follow.

  If Guanzhong is sincere, there will be no such thing as Lu Bu making trouble in the Western Regions.

Pang Tong ordered some Qiang-cooked copper pots and said, "Shandong is like this Qiang-cooked place. Everyone sits around and divides the food... If everyone is content, they can eat to their heart's content, but some people feel that they eat very little, and others If you eat more, there will be trouble... What will happen? 』

   Fei Zhen asked suspiciously, "Isn't there someone in charge of the spoon?" 』

   Zaoyi shook his head and smiled, "Prime Minister Cao, his name is Prime Minister, but...hehe...not everyone will be convinced..."

  The biggest problem in Shandong is party struggle.

  Obviously known to be a confrontation between east and west, and entering a critical moment, it is inevitable to fall into endless party disputes. And this party struggle is actually slightly different in concept from the parties of later generations.

  Parties of later generations normally have a clear discipline and program, while the parties of feudal dynasties are more like newspaper groups that gather together for warmth because of some kind of political opinion and similar interests.

   It's like the dispute between the Yuzhou faction and the Jizhou faction under Cao Cao's rule. Each of them is not convinced, and they all want to overwhelm each other, knowing that sometimes it will hurt the overall situation, but as long as it is beneficial to their own side, then what kind of problem is it that it hurts the overall situation?

  The party struggles of the early Han Dynasty were actually progressive to a certain extent, because these gentry children criticized some ills in the Han Dynasty and criticized the corruption of officials, including eunuchs. This is also the relatively simple concept of many scholars, including Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the early days, who believed that as long as the ten permanent attendants were eliminated, the world would be peaceful.

  But the scourge of this world is really just **** eunuchs?

  The political system of the entire Dahan has decayed, or it can no longer keep up with the needs of the development of the times. This problem is related to some of them, but it is not all about one person. The Suanzao Alliance of the Shandong generation is a good proof of this point. Whether it is to solve the ten permanent servants or Dong Zhuo, it only temporarily solves the superficial problems, but the deeper problems have always been solved. It's all in themselves, in the entire political system, in the depths of their minds.

"My lord left the imperial court, returned to the north, flattened Guanzhong, connected Sichuan and Shu, and connected to the Western Regions," Pang Tong raised his head slightly, his eyes sparkling, "just to take a road that is completely different from that of the previous great Han... and this road, the people of Shandong still At a loss! They didn't want to follow up! 』

  『If you can live comfortably, be a man of great wisdom and courage, and be prepared for danger in times of peace. ’Zaozhi sighed lightly, ‘Shandong people, it’s just that they were too comfortable to eat before... 』

  Pang Tong nodded and said: "In the past, under the deer mountain, the lord took the slips and put them on the table, saying what is a family and what is a common people...The slips are old, and the common people are empty...Do you want to be old, or..."

  『The family is old and the common people are empty? ’ Fei Zhen said, frowning in thought.

  Zao Zhi said from the side: "So the Lord built Qinglong Temple, on the one hand, to clean up the old books and explain them seriously, and on the other hand, to let the common people have the way to read..."

   Fei Zhen seemed to understand something and nodded.

  The ten permanent servants are corrupt, they look powerful, but they are actually dependent on the imperial power to do things, and once the imperial power declines, the **** is like a fart, and even the smell is disgusting. The people in Shandong are more complicated in their minds. There are those who worry about the big man, but they are more selfish. Although they have knowledge, they are already rotten.

  『Since then, I have understood one thing...the induction between heaven and man should be abolished. Pang Tong said in a deep voice, "If this law is not abolished, the Sangong will have no intention of governing, and the officials will be like scattered sand!" Cao Mengde did not take the Sangong and took the prime minister, but also to avoid this disaster. 』

  The induction between heaven and man was originally a famous trick created by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to strengthen the imperial power, but later it became a joke of the blame. Sanhuai Gaotang became a man who took turns taking the blame, ushering in the age of blame. Originally, the Sangong was supposed to be the assistant of the imperial power, the head of the hundred officials, and an important channel for communication between the upper and lower levels, but it finally became an illusion.

  It is very glorious to be a Sangong, but today he is still a high-ranking official, and he may be dismissed tomorrow. Under such a working environment, naturally no one is doing things honestly, and they are just dawdling.

  As a result, the Han court fell into division and extremely inefficient operation from top to bottom. Although the final decline of the Han Dynasty cannot be entirely attributed to the Shandong gentry, they originally mastered the most knowledge and should guide the way forward. These so-called clean officials and local role models who maintain the operation of the country are indeed in the decline of the Han Dynasty. At that time, not only was he unable to turn the tide, but he also dragged the big man into the abyss together.

At the same time, in order to prevent themselves, or the descendants of their own family, from being blamed every time for no reason, the noble family of the Han Dynasty started the era of using prophecy to deal with prophecy and fighting poison with poison. , and finally turned into free testimonials and random annotations, which should have been the words of ancient sages and sages who should spread knowledge and shape the Three Views, but have become tools for selfishness and power struggle...

  『This is all my father...under the deer mountain? ’ Fei Zhen’s eyes widened, feeling a little unbelievable, ‘Then...so early? 』

  『Although the lord didn’t say it clearly at the time, but...』Pang Tong turned his head and looked at Zaozhi, smiled and said, "Actually, not only me, Zijing, but also Yuanzhi and others, all understand this..."

   After eating and drinking enough, the three left the small pavilion and returned to the hall.

  Just as parents are with their children every day, it is not easy to notice their children's growth. Children follow their parents every day, and it is not easy to notice how powerful their parents are.

  The three of them stood under the map in the hall.

   "Now that you know what Cao Mengde wants," Pang Tong pointed to Tu Yu and said, "My son can try to break it." Well, there is no need to deploy troops and generals, just like the master, fighting with the overall situation changing... Would you like to give it a try? 』

   Fei Zhen was eager to try, and stood in front of Tuyu, thinking.

   The specific arrangement of the battle, of course, cannot be directed by Fei Zhen.

   Zaozhi cast a questioning look at Pang Tong.

  Pang Tong nodded slightly.

  As Fei Qian's first adviser, he followed in Fei Qian's footsteps, followed and grew up all the way. Although Fei Qian didn't say it clearly, he could understand why Fei Qian named Fei Zhen "Zhen".

  zhen, the vegetation is lush, or the thorns are overgrown.

  Starting from the grass and trees, passing through the road of thorns.

  West Qin Fen III was able to unify the world, but now?

  As a link between the past and the future, Fei Zhen has important responsibilities beyond ordinary people. Naturally, she needs to grow and grow faster, so that this thorny road can be followed by others.

Fei Qian asked Pang Tong to teach Fei Zhen temporarily, hoping to force Fei Zhen to learn to think and judge independently when her parents were not around, and to understand what kind of judgment, what kind of consequences it will lead to, and what follow-up problems arise. is how to deal with it. These problems are something that Fei Zhen cannot learn from Fei Qian's side. Because Fei Zhen will look at Fei Qian subconsciously, rely on her parents, and want to find the answer to the problem from Fei Qian.

  Growing starts with independent thinking and independent problem solving.

"If you don't care about the military, you're just looking for changes in the overall situation..." Fei Zhen also stood in front of Tuyu, and said in a deep voice, "Once a war starts, apart from the casualties of the soldiers, civilian husbands will also be needed to transport food and grass... and once civilian husbands travel long distances, they will need to transport grain and grass Firstly, the plowing fields will be abandoned, and secondly, the journey will consume...Changping, the grain of the Zhunping warehouses will all be used for the needs of the war...By the way, if there is not enough, they will be recruited! 』

   Fei Zhen subconsciously looked back at Pang Tong, but saw that Pang Tong's chin was two or three times thicker, and he kept his expression motionless to cover up his face.

"Hmm..." Fei Zhen could only turn around and continue thinking, "Recruitment is inevitable...According to what Uncle Shi said before, if Shandong is recruited...the local rich will definitely take the opportunity to amass wealth. It's the reappearance of the Yellow Turban incident... Got it! At that time, the Jiangdong area in Shandong will be corrupted, and you only need to ride lightly and go straight, and you will be the flag of the world! 』

"well said! Pang Tong nodded and said, "That's it!" The way to fight is not just to win with strength! The pain of Xiqiang is the pain of Shandong! If you touch it, you will be shocked! 』

  The Xiqiang Rebellion was a pain for the entire Han Dynasty, but after so many years, who could have imagined how the Xiqiang Rebellion originated, how it developed, and how to deal with it?

   No, the Shandong gentry just sighed with emotion at most.

   There is no summary, no prevention, no improvement, nothing, just a deep scar that has healed on the surface, but in fact it is not healed at all. Now as long as it is touched again, it will immediately burst and bleed.

  Officials are not specifically produced.

  So all the expenses of the whole society are paid by ordinary people.

  The heavier the tax burden, the harder it is for ordinary people to live.

  What to do if you can’t survive, in the end there is only resistance.

  The more people rebel, the more money the court needs to suppress...

  If you bite your teeth and collect in other areas to suppress the rebellion, then the tax collection in other places will be heavier, and it is possible that other places will also rebel.

  If there is no suppression, then not only will the taxes in these areas not be collected, but it will also cause other areas to use the same excuse to say that there is a rebellion and cannot pay taxes.

  Anyway, there is no money in the local government. If they want to suppress it, the court will give them money. Even if money is given, the suppression may not be successful. If you press one end, you will turn up the other end. As a result, this has completely fallen into the quagmire of a vicious circle, and there is no way to escape.

Pang Tong nodded and said: "My lord originally wanted to provoke this matter in Jiangdong first, and then spread to Shandong... At that time, in Yan, Hebei, Henan, Xuyang and other places, the poor will become poorer, and the rich will become richer. On the side of the stove fire, there is a raging flame in the sky...but Shandong Jiangdong seems to be aware of it, and is taking advantage of the chaos in the Western Regions...』

Unfortunately…

  That’s why Fei Qian said before that it’s a bit early to start the war, and it’s not the best time.

   This point, Pang Tong is also very recognized.

In this day and age, ordinary people are basically illiterate, and they don’t know what the future is or what is the right way. If someone gives you some favors today, you will be called daddy. Yesterday's father was thrown aside. Therefore, it is basically impossible to expect these people in Jiangdong, Shandong, to participate in the process of social change and advancement of civilization without any foundation or preconditions.

These people in Jiangdong, Shandong are more accustomed to the life of their ancestors. Usually, they only need to have a meal and a little fun to continue living. However, the development of the dynasty and the change of the social structure are too much for them. distant.

  Why Fei Qian can have a stable public opinion in Changan Sanfu? Except for the Bachelor of Agriculture and Engineering who are working hard to open up the wisdom of the people, most of the other merits are counted on "welfare".

First of all, Feiqian resettled a large number of refugees and gave them farmland and shelter. Although it would take ten to twenty years or even longer to repay the rent, it was virtually equivalent to tying these peasants to Fiji. Potential political groups. Even the most stupid peasants know that once Feiqian falls, their fields and houses will be deprived and robbed by others, so supporting Feiqian is tantamount to supporting themselves.

And once Feiqian wants to "buy people's hearts" in Shandong, because Shandong has a huge population base, it will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in expenses. My own people, with a bachelor's degree in inspection and inspection of agriculture and engineering, can't afford the huge expenses.

On the other hand, whether it is soldiers or civilians in Guanzhong, they have psychological advantages over the people in Jiangdong, Shandong. After all, the treatment in Guanzhong is the best in the world. After peace, everyone is the same, and there must be some people who are not convinced.

  If the bowl of water is uneven, it will be even more exciting.

   Therefore, it is better to let Cao Cao and Sun Quan go to light a fire first...

   It's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Cao Cao and Sun Quan were either aware of this, or they happened to meet together, which led to the current situation.

  However, since this is already the case, it can only take advantage of the situation.

  Pang Tong smiled, "Do you know, now in Chang'an City, there are already rumors that Zhao Zilong from the Northern Territory is harboring ulterior motives and has double-mindedness?" 』

  『Σ(oдo)? 』
