Han Shimou

"sit."

Ding Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed, and Wen Han politely saluted before sitting down.Ding Yuan also sat down and poured wine for Wen Han himself. Wen Han was panicked, but Ding Yuan said that there is no need to be restrained.At the same time, let Wen Han tell the story of Qiang Hu's wanderings.Wen Han straightened his face, and said while recalling.

From Zhang Ping who met at the beginning, to fighting guerrilla in Qianghu, then to overcoming the wolf god veins and sneak attacking Langya camp, and finally to the submerged camp to hold Keba Wushui hostage, make him turn against the water, and sneak attack the Yuwen tribe's rear.This talk is so eloquent that I don't know the time when I talk about it.Ding Yuan was fascinated by what he heard, and supported his white beard on his chin, when Wen Han's mouth was a little dry, he took the initiative to pour wine for him.On the way, Wen Han drank a glass of wine as soon as his mouth became dry when he spoke, and he drank the whole pot of wine before he finished speaking.

"Champion, you are indeed a champion. If your achievements were made by a son of that wealthy royal family, you will definitely be crowned king and marquis. Eh... It's just a pity... It's a pity..."

After hearing this, Ding Yuan restrained his exuberant demeanor a little, and sighed a little desolately.From the look in his eyes that praised and could not bear Wen Han, it is not difficult to see that he is sighing for Wen Han.

Wen Han listened to Ding Yuan's repeated sighs of pity, feeling a little dull in his heart, and asked.

"Inspector Ding, I don't know where this pity comes from?"

Ding Yuan picked up a jade jug full of wine, filled a glass for himself, and after drinking heavily, he let out a mouthful of bad luck, and asked Wen Han with forceful eyes.

"Champion, do you think that the old man is the governor. In this Bingzhou, he is the emperor of the earth, who holds all the power?"

Ding Yuan's question confuses Wen Han's question. As the governor of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan is of course the local emperor of Bingzhou.But how could Wen Han say such disrespectful and outrageous words to the imperial court?

Ding Yuan seemed to know Wen Han's concerns, grinned, and patted Wen Han's shoulder vigorously.

"Don't be afraid. There are only you and me here. If the champion can be trusted, my Ding Jianyang's character can be straightforward."

For Ding Yuan, who is bold and unruly, Wen Han faintly feels that his temperament is somewhat similar to his close friend Cao Mengde.He had a good impression of Ding Yuan for a long time. Hearing what he said, Wen Han also let go of his worries, and first apologized for what he said later.Then he cleared his throat.

"Master Inspector, commanding all military power in Bingzhou, and responsible for all official appointments, this power is not fully grasped, and it is not separated from the government. He is the real emperor of the land."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Ding Yuan opened his mouth and laughed, causing Wen Han to be full of doubts. He didn't know where he said something wrong, which caused Ding Yuan to laugh so loudly.

"Champion, you are wrong! The power of Bingzhou is in the hands of this old man, less than five or six!"

Ding Yuan pointed at Wen Han, and Wen Han frowned, putting on an expression of disbelief.Ding Yuan stopped laughing slowly, drank another glass of wine, his voice was a little low.

"Champion, you are still too immature. You haven't seen clearly enough about the distribution of power in this world. That's why your merit document has unclear credit, four big characters. Don't worry. Listen to the old man. In this Bingzhou, although the old man is an official to the governor, and as you said, all military powers and official appointments in this Bingzhou are decided by the old man alone.

But that's just the surface.The old man might as well tell you that not all the middle and high officials in Bingzhou are decided by the old man alone. Seventy to eighty percent of the people are rich and powerful in Bingzhou.Their power in this Bingzhou has long been ingrained, and all the wealthy families are united with the outside world. In this Bingzhou, they can even fight the old man, the governor, on equal footing.Even sometimes, concentrating together can even make the old man, the governor, bow down! "

Wen Han frowned more and more tightly, and he couldn't help but speak.

"Since that's the case. Lord Inspector, why don't you remove the official positions of these rich and powerful people and set up another group of officials?"

"Hahaha. That's why the old man said that you can't see clearly. Do you know that nearly [-] to [-]% of the lifeblood of land, commerce, and food in Bingzhou is controlled by these rich and powerful. Not to mention, behind them The imperial court has a group of big figures backing it up. Even if they don't, they are not afraid.

Because these rich and powerful have private soldiers, property, and land!Starting from their ancestors, they have been operating in Bingzhou for several generations, and their strength has gathered more and more.There are even some wealthy families who have become kings of land.And these wealthy and powerful people have intricate relationships, and there will be more or less fights when there is nothing to do, but when something happens, they will condense harder than that big iron block!

It's not that I don't dare to touch them, but I can't touch them, otherwise the whole Bingzhou will be in chaos.And if there is a real mess, do you guess that the current emperor will remove the old man as the governor to appease these dignitaries, or support the old man to quell the chaos of these rich and powerful? "

Ding Yuan's last question left Wen Han speechless. Under Ding Yuan's sharp eyes, Wen Han opened his mouth and then closed it, not knowing what to say.

"Hahaha. You and I both know the answer! There is no other reason, because the descendants of the royal family are the biggest rich and powerful people in the world!"

Wen Han's heart trembled suddenly, he let out a big breath, and gradually he understood why Ding Yuan wanted to say these words to himself.He was reminding himself that he should not fight with the rich and powerful anymore, and even had a hint of wanting Wen Han to admit his mistake and bow his head in front of the rich and powerful.

Wen Han tugged his fist, then let go, and after a long time, he spoke slowly.

"Thus, Lord Ding, who is an official to the governor, still has to be afraid of him. If someone with a low status offends these rich and powerful, wouldn't he die without a place to die?"

Ding Yuan stared fixedly at Wen Han, paying close attention to his expression, and then nodded solemnly.After Wen Han looked at it, he closed his eyes.Ding Yuan continued.

"However, Champion. You still have a sense of the overall situation. You know how to vote for the Butcher, a faction that has transformed from a humble family into a new wealthy family. He and his queen sister have a lot of power in the court at this time, even Able to compete with the ten permanent servants. The old man also took a fancy to He Butcher's humble background, so he voted for it.

If so, He Butcher is a wealthy family that has been running for generations, and the old man may not necessarily vote for it.Because most of the aristocratic families are like the Yuan family in Runan, who put their family interests first, as long as they can maintain and expand their family power, they can even do some inhumane and outrageous things.Although Butcher He is rude and selfish, at least he still has the boundaries of morality, benevolence and righteousness.Sometimes when he is hotheaded, he will take care of his feelings and act for the people under his command. "

When Wen Han heard Ding Yuan mention General He, he couldn't help opening his closed eyes, and then narrowed his eyes slightly to meet Ding Yuan's eyes.It seems to be asking, if this is the case, why did General He not act for him in the matter of the merit document?

"The old man knows what you are asking in your eyes. Well, what the two of us said just now is foreign affairs. Now let's talk about business. Champion, do you know that you have the head of a Qianghu to testify, and the credit you made is so Great, but this merit document says that the credit is not clear?"

"I once offended Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of the Yuan family in Runan. I also had a feud with Jian Hong, the righteous son of Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo, and once at the banquet of Teacher Cai Yong, I wrote a poem and secretly scolded Shi Chang for taking power. These people Or feel that the meritorious service of our institute is an eyesore, and deliberately obstruct it, turning black and white."

"Championship, you are wrong again. Let me give you an example. If you saw the ants on the tree, you would think it was an eyesore, but when the ants were crawling on the tree, you would not bother to stretch out your hands to kill them. But one day, the ants Become a young eagle, stand on the branch, facing you. What will happen to you, first you will feel that it will hurt you if it is aggressive, and if it hurts, it will be threatening. Second, you will still be afraid, afraid of this chick The eagle will still change, and the unknown possibility of the future is another big threat.

Therefore, the credit you have made is not only an eyesore, but also a great threat.Therefore, this time, not only the Yuan family from Runan, Shi Changshi, and Xiao Huangmen Jianshuo took action, but also some dignitaries from the court.The lineup is so large that even your two teachers, Cai Yong and Wang Yun, who are notoriously sharp-tongued, tried their best to fight against each other, but they could only return home in defeat.If it hadn't been for General He to speak out in the end, your meritorious service would be so great that the Holy One would be worried, fearing that it would arouse the resentment of the poor families in the world.I'm afraid, it's so simple that it's hard to tell if your meritorious deeds this time, I'm afraid you will inevitably suffer from prison. "

The more Wen Han heard it, the more frightened he became, his brows almost knit into a ball.

"What reason do I have in the hands of these people that I will be imprisoned!"

Ding Yuan didn't answer this time, and stared at Wen Han for a long time, making Wen Han a little at a loss.Ding Yuan seemed a little disappointed with Wen Han, smiled coldly, and spoke again.

"Hehe. I didn't expect this old man to treat each other with sincerity. After talking so much about the state of the world with the champion, the champion still pretended to hide it. I really disappointed the old man. Fortunately, if you didn't tell me, the old man would lead you to talk about it. As the saying goes, people They are divided into three, six, and nine classes, and here I summarize them as upper, middle, and lower. The descendants of the royal family, the rich and powerful families are the upper class, the rich and powerful merchants are the middle class, and the poor families are the lower class. But after the white body, do you know that there are still people?"

At this time, Wen Han, as a traveler, discovered some knowledge that had never been recorded in history.Wen Han had a troubled look on his face, but he really didn't know, so he shook his head.Ding Yuan pursed his lips and frowned, looking at his expression, he felt that Wen Han was not pretending, did he really not know?

"Okay. If you don't know, the old man will explain it for you. There are two kinds of people after the white body. One is the person who steals, rapes and deceives the bandit, and is black for it; the second is the person whose origin is unknown. All of them! These two types of people are the lowest. The court regulations clearly stipulate that these two types of people must not enter the court as officials. Once discovered, they will be imprisoned for five years immediately, and then sent to the frontier! They will never return to the Han Dynasty !"

"All...all over!"

Wen Han's body trembled, his expression stunned, his eyes widened and then slowly narrowed, as if a bomb was exploding in his head, and his whole body was spinning.
