Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2152 Announcement

  The Weihe River is surging, irrigating both sides of the bank, making the fields of Sanfu in Chang'an abundant. The Wei River flows out of Tianshui, passes through Chencang, Weibin, Jintai, Qishan, Meixian, Fufeng, Xianyang, Wugong, and Weicheng, and then reaches Huxian, Chang'an, Weiyang, Baqiao, Gaoling, and then goes to Huayin. It joins the Dahe at Tongguan.

  It can be said that without the Weihe River, the fertile land of Guanzhong Sanfu would be at least half less, and it is also an important waterway between Guanzhong and Longyou.

Weishui not only plays an important role in people's livelihood and political affairs, but also is a good place to go during leisure time. On the side of Weishui, there are always some manors and pavilions. When autumn is high, some people will hold banquets or enjoy them in them. , Or enjoy chrysanthemums, or meet friends, there is an endless stream.

Chang'an has been repaired and expanded by Fei Qian. Although some people don't want to admit it, Chang'an has indeed reproduced some of the grandeur and prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty, except that the royal palaces are only under maintenance for various reasons. Except for the expansion, the rest of the area is basically not inferior to the grand occasion of the year, and even worse.

  Winter is about to enter, and there are not many autumn scenes, so the banquets around the Weihe River are more intensive, perhaps to retain the last autumn scenery, or for other things.

  Among these numerous manor pavilions, naturally most of them belonged to the children of these noble families. When Dong Zhuo was in trouble with the Sanfu, these other industries were hard to escape, and many of them were corrupted. However, after Feiqian arrived in Chang'an, some people gradually picked them up again. What can you do to buy a property?

   This is naturally related to Zhong Wei's estate.

Before that, Webster's wind direction didn't seem to be very good. Wei Duan just huddled his head at home and didn't show his face. But during this period of time, after Wei Duan took office in the Senate, the name of Webster's name seemed to suddenly He seemed to be getting better again, and he often began to invite guests generously. Today, in this Weihe villa, he set up a banquet for appreciating chrysanthemums. Of course, some noble people were invited.

After the news came out, there were more people than originally invited. Of course, many of them came to the banquet with a cheeky face. Wei Duan also greeted them with a smile. No matter what kind of bored attitude, it won the praise all over the sky again, adding a bit of lively atmosphere in the other industry.

Since it is a banquet for appreciating autumn, which mainly focuses on "appreciation", of course, the etiquette is not so strict. The seats of the banquet are relatively scattered, depending on the terrain and the pavilions and corridors. Unlimited walking, each looking for convenience. Therefore, among the courtyards and pavilions, guests come and go, drinking together, chatting, throwing pots, admiring the scenery, whispering, or laughing, wearing light clothes, ignoring manners, and there are many people who sing freely...

  The children of the noble family drink alcohol, and then drink until they are drunk. Most of the exposed flesh of the Gain gentry children is fair, and the complexion of the working people is copper black...

  As the host, Wei Duan naturally shuttled through the banquet, chatted with this person with a smile, and then chatted with that person for a while.

Everyone knows that the word "Shenlv" in this Shenlvyuan can be big or small. If you get the center of the hussars and master the law, you will add a lot of power, and you can use Shenlv to enter the law in a legitimate way. Fiqian Political Center participates in major affairs...

   It's just like a person who knows how warm and cold the drinking water is. Only Wei Duan knows whether the Senate is Changlu or miserable. It's just that in life, especially when people reach middle age, even if their face is swollen, they still have to be fat. 』, but you have to put on a pretense, just like doing the work of a salesman, you also have to be a director.

  In fact, Wei Duan, like most of the gentry children, looked down on Fei Qian at first.

   It's normal to despise the chain.

  Shandong gentry look down on Shanxi, then Guanzhong look down on Longyou and north, main family look down on side branch, side branch look down on poor family, poor family look down on Baiding...

Therefore, Wei Duan once thought that Fei Qian was nothing more than that. Even if he got luck for a while and ruled Guanzhong, he would still cause trouble like Dong Zhuo. After all, he still had to rely on talents like Wei Duan to govern the country. Can.

  A warrior, what kind of climate can he have?

  But Wei Duan did not expect that this Fei Qian would go all the way, even without the help of Wei Duan and others, he would skyrocket, which is extremely shocking. From people's livelihood to military affairs, he seems to know everything!

  Scholars, farmers, businessmen, there is no such thing as Fei Qian, so the strengths that Wei Duan can rely on, there is almost no big stage in front of Fei Qian, and it is extremely embarrassing...

However, Fei Qian is not without any hidden dangers. After all, Fei Qian is already an extremely human minister at present, and his status can be regarded as high and high. Will the people of Shandong be jealous, and the emperor have no doubts?

  The more Fei Qian expresses his respect for the Son of Heaven, the more stable he is morally, but the deeper the hidden danger. Although there are so many servants in Guanzhong at present, and those who are related and irrelevant come to join in the fun, but one day Fei Qian is no longer in power, so Fei's family can still be in the court hall, and Guanzhong Sanfu maintains such a high prestige ?

  Just like autumn chrysanthemums, now that all the flowers are in full bloom, it will be beautiful, but how long can autumn chrysanthemums bloom?

  Nowadays, everyone is afraid of Fei Qian because of Fei Qian's profound influence in the army. Fei Qian himself rose from the north and fought north and south, and made great achievements. Most of the generals under his command were promoted from the ranks by Fei Qian. This loyalty is naturally beyond doubt.

   But the question is what about the future?

It's just that Fei Qian is now at the height of his spring and autumn, so these hidden dangers are not obvious, and they are not fatal enough. If they really become a problem, I am afraid it will take ten or twenty years to show up. It is precisely because of this, Wei Only then did Duan and the others quietly lie on the ground, and Ren Fei would fiddle with them.

There is ample time.

  Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there have been no princes of a hundred years, but families of a thousand years!

Wei Duan is like a butterfly, hovering among the guests, whether they are invited or uninvited, they are all treated equally. Even some juniors from the side branch, Wei Duan also talks cordially, and everyone can say a few words .

   Turning around the flower hall, Wei Duan went to Zhao Ji's table, chatted a few words with a smile, and then invited Zhao Ji to walk around and admire the chrysanthemum...

  Well, of course it’s not the chrysanthemum on the buttocks, it’s a serious chrysanthemum.

  Due to the Dahan system, counties and counties need to be counted at the end of the year. Those who are farther away can send a planner, and those who are closer can come by themselves. Originally, according to the usual practice, Zhao Ji could send a civil official to Chang'an to make plans instead of himself, but for some unknown reason, Zhao Ji came here in person for the past two years, and then stayed in Chang'an for a few days, waiting for the plan. Return to Longyou after the end, anyway, Linjing is not too far from Chang'an.

  Wei Duan laughed and said, "I heard that Commander Zhao's plan this time is excellent again. It can be said that the people are stable and the government is peaceful, and the governance is good...I wonder if there is any magic method?" 』

  Zhao Ji smiled slightly: "The courtyard is congratulating you." The burden of taxation is a major event of the country, how can we take it lightly? Although Linjing is far away and the fertile land is plentiful, it is a great plan for the hussars, so I have to work tirelessly and do my best...』

  Wei Duan nodded in praise, "Lingchang Zhao is really loyal..."

  『Dare not dare, Wei Yuanzheng is also loyal to the community...』Zhao Ji replied with cupped hands, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

  Zhao Ji is actually here for the Senate, he is really a little quiet and thinking about moving. Zhao Ji is under the light of his father, so he can only reach the end of one county magistrate at most, and he can't make any further progress, but if he has the opportunity to practice in Chang'an, then he can find another opportunity in the future One step ahead, becoming a prefect of a county is not a dream.

  People always have to have some dreams, or what is the difference with salted fish.

  Salted fish is naturally cheaper, so if you dream of it, you will be willing to spend money.

Now that Fei Qian is in power, the most important thing is to calculate taxes, so Zhao Ji has also put in a lot of effort in this area. Even if some accounts are not good-looking, he would rather pay for them to wipe them brightly. He went one step further than his father, touched the branches and leaves of Sanhuai tree.

   As for Wei Duan, he also wanted to go one step closer. When outsiders watch the excitement, they always think that the senate is a beautiful place, but in fact...

never mind.

   Wei Duan didn't want to think about these things anymore.

  The Senate seems to have a high position and authority, but in fact all the power falls in the hands of Pang Tong. The Shangshutai edict does not need the so-called "Shen Lv" at all, and basically it is not a good thing to need "Shen Lv". In addition, due to the situation, Wei Duan sometimes had to act according to Fei Qian's wishes, and he did some things in Chang'an. Few people.

  For example, some time ago, when the crops were harvested, those manors that did not follow the advice of the hussars led to the crop failure of the crops...

Fei Qian wanted Wei Duan to come up with a regulation to deal with it, so Wei Duan needed to construct a law among the pile of old papers with all his heart and soul, saying that "after the crops are born, it rains, and it is easy to say that the rain will be less and more, and the benefits will be large." number. Drought and storms, floods and fire katydids, and other things that hurt the crops, also talk about the number of hectares, and those who violate it will be punished. 』Then said that these manor owners did not fulfill their responsibility to report urgently, and imposed certain punishments.

  The hussars had dealt with it, but Wei Duan gradually felt a little estranged in the hearts of the Guanzhong gentry.

From Wei Duan's point of view, Hussar's position has been relatively stable for at least the past few years. As long as there are no major problems, no one can shake Hussar Fei's potential authority in Guanzhong, so Wei Duan naturally No choice. Can't it be said that for the benefit of the so-called other Guanzhong nobles, they will abandon their own family's life?

   When the time comes when the family falls, how many of the other Guanzhong gentry who have benefited will be grateful and take care of Wei Duan? It's already a good character if you don't fall into trouble, not to mention those people with honey belly and swords, maybe they will come to bite and devour!

   Therefore, Wei Duan is also clear that in this position now, there will be some nasty things in the future, and his relationship with the Guanzhong gentry may also cause some friendship, and then there will be a fight in the open and in the dark.

  For the sake of my own family, this is something I can't help. After all, the big man has been here for so many years, could it be that there is no party struggle? It is no longer rare for former friends to become deadly enemies.

Since we want to prepare for the worst situation, Wei Duan naturally needs to seek more strength and help when the situation is not too bad. Then people like Zhao Ji, who could not be seen by Wei Duan, suddenly You can have a good relationship with each other.

Before Longyou was under the rebellion of the Western Qiang, it was deserted and ruined. In recent years, a large number of refugees have been replenished. After farming and reclamation, coupled with the large number of Qiang people who have settled down and stopped making troubles, agriculture and animal husbandry The industry has been greatly restored, and the economy will naturally improve.

At the same time, because Jia Xu served as the governor of Longyou, he recommended many talents to join Feiqian's command, and he also had the aura of the Longyou Group. It is always better to stand on your own side than to let these people stand on other people's side and become your opponent.

  Based on the above reasons, at the moment Wei Duan is at the banquet, interacting with Zhao Ji and flattering each other has become a necessity. Both of them have what they need, so naturally they hit it off right away. The so-called viewing chrysanthemums and flowers is really a ulterior motive rather than drinking.

With the initial intention of cooperation, I didn't continue to communicate with each other. For things like this, there are always a few back and forths before we can understand each other's length and depth. Not too much to say.

   Wei Duan led Zhao Ji, and went to meet with several other people, implicitly expressing that Zhao Ji was allowed to enter this circle. As for the specific matters of follow-up cooperation, of course, we will discuss slowly.

  Several people sat together drinking and chatting, and naturally talked about the current food price.

The continuous rise in food prices has involved a lot of goods, causing the prices on the market to rise steadily for a while. Under such a situation, some people want to get a share of the pie, but some people think The momentum is wrong, and I want to check the direction of the wind here at Wei Duan.

The rich and romantic among the gentry naturally needs money and goods to support it. Even though Wei Duan has repeatedly said that the hospitality is not good and the banquet is shallow, no matter whether it is sitting alone or drinking together, the servants and maids always serve very well, but When any dishes are finished, someone will serve them quickly and well without calling, and drinks can be refilled as you go. As for the fineness of the utensils, the exquisiteness of the dishes, as well as the juggling and drum music during the banquet, although they are considered the most upscale in this era, they are not far behind. Just these, the cost of a banquet is enough Hundreds of ordinary families eat for a year!

  So, unless it is really an unworthy son who defeated his father, that gentry doesn't love money? But to enjoy money, one also needs to have life. Otherwise, if you close your eyes, wouldn't it be cheaper for others?

  Then this time, the food price seems to be unstoppable, and there are countless gold and silver colors rolling over. Is it possible to fish in the water and make a fortune, or to take advantage of the fire to benefit others?

While half-drunk and half-awake, someone pretended not to mention it unintentionally, trying to test the tone, but Wei Duan was originally a cunning and cunning person, so how could he be easily pinched to his core, he would refuse to touch the corners It's welcome, but it's extremely difficult to pinch the truth...

  While the two sides were coming and going, trying to figure out what to do with each other, suddenly a servant rushed forward, and then Wei Duan let out a haha ​​before changing his clothes and leaving.

"this is…"

  『I’m afraid there will be some changes...』

  『Come here, let’s go find out...』

  Not all the people who attended the banquet were fools. Eating and drinking were petty, and exchanging information came first.

  In fact, what happened was very simple, and there was no cover-up or taboo. When Wei Duan and others held a banquet in Weishui Bieye, a notice was posted almost at the same time in Chang'an Sanfu.

  Changan Cross Street.

  At the bulletin board, there was a group of people around, stretching their heads to look in, and in the innermost part, there was a person who was shaking his head and reading the content of the bulletin...

  『Husbands and five emperors have different rituals and music. The change of the count is for the purpose. The Spring and Autumn Period was a period of benevolent government, and the Warring States Period was in full swing. During the period of bitter resentment against Qin, Qingming and Han Dynasty...』

  Among the crowd, some shook their heads, as if they were immersed in it, and had a lot of insights, while others scratched their ears and scratched their heads, but they didn't know what they were talking about.

  Under Pang Tong's arrangement, the notice did not slowly spread from Chang'an as usual, but was distributed to various places, and then posted at the same time as agreed. Of course, doing so will cause the news in Chang'an to fall behind, and places farther away will get the notice earlier...

  Where the notice was announced, more people not only listened to it, but also copied the notice, and brought it back in a hurry.

  『…From now on, there are thousands of false feelings. The sun is blazing, and Gangke is dying. Lick the hemorrhoids and make four, and walk in vain. Beneath the name and power, caress the powerful. Yan Jian anti-vulgar, immediately caused disaster. Evil husbands show up, straight people hide..."

   Someone began to frown.

"...White deer in the wild, green cattle and virtuous gardens, Shennong replanted in the past, Yanhuang strengthened the foundation, Qin Ze was appointed a doctor, Han Ze general sat, or hung down in the frost and dew, or shook in the wind and smoke, the shrine of the East Sea, Obtain the land of the Western Regions, raise the soldiers of the Northern Desert, and the people of the Jinan Frontier. It is the favor of heaven and earth, the hard work of the people...』

  Someone started to pinch their teeth.

  『New silk is sold in February, and new valleys are sold in May. Heal the sores in front of the eyes, but gouge out the flesh and blood of the heart. Those who sit and enjoy the ointment don't know the hardships of life and people, they don't care about tyranny, and they don't hesitate to corrupt rice and grain. The cost of raising livestock for a day is the food of a hungry family, which violates the virtues of heaven and the will of sages. Every millet and grain should not be lightly discarded. Therefore, in today's Guangbu County, if anyone destroys rice grains, no matter the officials or the people, they will be held accountable and unforgivable..."

   Someone began to meditate.

   Then soon some people gathered together by coincidence, discussing and interpreting.

  『This decree of hussars...well, it should be issued by Mr. Pang Ling...Everyone, everybody! What is the purpose of this order? 』

  『Advocating frugality? Don't waste it? 』

  『Isn’t this matter mentioned every year? Didn't you see anything serious that year? 』

  『This matter is difficult to define. What is waste? If one extra grain of millet is spent, one more grain is eaten, is it considered a waste? According to a certain opinion, it is just a red tape! 』

  『It makes sense... However, I still feel somewhat uneasy...』

  『Uneasy, why are you uneasy? 』

  『This... little brother can’t say it...』

  『Isn’t this the end? Stop being unfounded and worrying! No way, this is Pang Lingjun's plan to disturb your and my heart and slow down the price of food in the market! 』

  Countless voices of discussion arose one after another...
