Chapter 477: Falling Son

When the car of the Heifu county guard drove away from Gaomi County, what was left was only a paper manuscript of "Yanzi Spring and Autumn", and what was taken away was more than ten "good children" of Gaomi Yan and other county tycoons.

This group of young people ranged in age from ten to twenty years old, and they knew a little bit about Qin Seal, and several of them could still speak simple Guanzhong Yayan. Most of them are leaving home for the first time, with trepidation and anxiety, saying goodbye to their worried elders.

After the convoy disappeared into the wind and snow, the patriarch of the Yan clan couldn't help beating his chest and regretting it, only blaming his junior for being instigated by the new county guard, so he should be coaxed. In the end, it was his way, those children who were taken away, named to be sent to the Qin people's school to cultivate the law, he could be an official one day, but in fact, he was also a proton who was detained in Jimo!

As a result, they Yan were forcibly labeled as "hooking up with Qin officials", and they couldn't wash it off.

"It's hard to say now, Zhutian wants to hate my Yan clan to death......"

Seeing that his father was worried, Yan Bo, who was a Tian Qifu in the county, said: "Now that Tian Qi is dead, the person in charge of Jiaodong County is a Qin official, and Zhutian is no longer a feudal monarch, but an ordinary hero, why be afraid?" If, as the county guard said, use my Yan, Guo, Gao, and Lu Zhu clans, and the children enter the official mansion and hold power, in a few years, the Yan clan may be able to restore its former glory, and then it should be Zhutian who is afraid of me, not me who is afraid of Zhutian! ”

"You know what!?"

The patriarch of the Yan clan glared at his son fiercely: "Zhutian has accumulated momentum for more than 200 years, just like accumulating soil into a mountain, and the work of Feisi must not be excavated overnight. Although my Yan clan is Jiang Qi's old noble, it is still much inferior to the Jimo and Yeyi Tian clans that are even hundreds of times and thousands of people are attached. His in-laws are all over Jiaodong, and his descendants are scattered in various counties, and the light chivalrous Confucian students respect it, and in the past five years, the Jiaodong county guard and the lieutenant have to respect the three points of Zhutian, and the place can be safe and sound. ”

"Now as soon as the new county Shoufu takes office, he talks a lot about what Tian Qi is not right, this is to push the Yan family out, force us to take refuge in the government, and wrestle with Zhutian. A few good words, send a book, and praise the Yan family's family background will make you happy like this, really a son, my family will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later! ”

Yan Bo really didn't expect this, and hurriedly said, "Then what should I do now?" ”

The patriarch of the Yan clan rolled his eyes: "Yan Zimiao also worshipped, and the word that he wanted to support Jiang Qi's old clan at the banquet also spread, and all the children of my family were taken away by him." In Zhutian's eyes, it is a sure thing that the Yan family sold all the people and voted for the Qin officials, what else can be done now? Let's swallow the bitter water first, and look at what this county guard has to do! ”

……

"Without the words you prepared for me, I really can't say so many words quoting scriptures."

At the same time, on the car heading east, Heifu summoned Chen Ping to discuss with the car.

As early as Xianyang, after he had a rough understanding of the distribution and strength of the nobles in Jiaodong counties, he said to Heifu: "In the past, King Wu Keyin was anti-Shang and did not get off the car, and after the Yellow Emperor Yu Ji, after the Emperor Yao Yu Zhu, after the Emperor Shun Yu Chen, after the Emperor Xia Yu Qi. So the world was overjoyed, and they all abandoned business and served Zhou, why not? Although the remnants of Yin tried day and night to resume business, the Tang, Yu, and Xia clans, who were also merchants in the past, were all divided, so they were willing to support the Zhou family. ”

To put it bluntly, King Wu of Zhou also united most of the three generations of old clans and gave them the promise of feudal statehood, thus isolating the remnants of Yin Shang.

In Chen Ping's view, the Qi nobles in Jiaodong are not monolithic, two hundred years ago the Tian clan Dai Qi movement, drove all the losers to Jiaodong, Lu's, Yan's, Guo's, Gao's, they have always been suspicious of the Marquis of Tian Qi, not reused, now there is a chance to turn over, as long as the Qin official mansion stretches out a hand, there must be someone willing to use the strength to ascend to the high position again.

"Even if you don't want to take refuge in the county guard, you have to forcibly pull the car and use their children as hostages, so that Zhutian resents them!"

Chen Ping's strategy can be said to be insightful, as long as he throws out the two big stones of "Tian Qi is not right" and "the county guard wants to support Jiang Qi's old clan" into the water, it can set off an uproar.

The Jiaodong nobles who were originally amiable, whether they wanted to or not, would be suspicious: Zhutian suspected that the Yan clan and others had defected to Qin and betrayed themselves, while the Yan clan and other Jiang Qi old clans were worried about Zhutian's angry revenge because of their weakness, so they could only be forced to hug the thighs of the government.

"There is no contradiction to create a contradiction."

"Small contradictions should become big contradictions."

Heifu was amazed: "In this way, let the old and new heroes in Jiaodong County be separated, and they will not be afraid that they will join forces to fight against the government." ”

As he went deeper and deeper into the hinterland of Jiaodong, his understanding of how to govern the county became clearer and clearer.

……

After Chen Ping retreated, Heifu took out the chessboard in the shaking carriage, first placed 6 white seeds on the right side, lined them up, and then placed a black stone on the left side to confront the 6 white pieces......

He is not so bored that he plays chess alone, but he wants to analyze the positions of all social strata in Jiaodong County clearly.

"With one against six, there is no doubt that you will lose, so I have to try to pull these whites to the side of the blacks." Heifu muttered to himself, reaching out and fiddling with the chessboard.

"The first white son, this represents the biggest force in Jiaodong, the great nobles headed by Zhutian!"

These acres of land and thousands of nobles with hundreds of servants were the feudal monarchs and doctors of the Tian Qi era. Represented by the Sumida clan, a descendant of Tatsune, and the Yoyi Tian clan, a descendant of Tadan, it can also be called Mota.

Zhutian is the vested interests of the Tian Qi era, Qin annihilated Qi, and they have the hatred of destroying the country and destroying the society, and the former high-ranking people have become "Qiantou" in law, and their social status has plummeted, and they have lost all kinds of privileges, of course, they will be unwilling.

Economically, Moroda was also devastated, and they had long been in charge of the benefits of the mountains and seas: the Sumida clan took ownership of the nearby mountains and swamps and minted their own mines. As a feudal monarch, Yeyi Tian is also the largest salt merchant in Jiaodong, and one-third of the salt in Laizhou Bay is produced in Yeyi.

Zhutian and Qin officials have irreconcilable contradictions, although they are temporarily dormant at the moment, but once something happens, they are the first to oppose Qin.

It's a pity that Jiaodong is too far away, and the imperial court can't reach it, so it can't move these two families to Guanzhong. For these people, Hefu has no delusions of wooing at all. First try to weaken as much as possible, and when the emperor is on his eastern tour, then take advantage of the situation to completely uproot and move them all!

But even if Zhutian is moved away and the local nobles are eliminated, Heifu still needs the assistance of the locals to make up for the big hole in Zhutian if he wants to govern Jiaodong.

His hand twisted the second white seed.

"This white coin is a small nobleman headed by the Yan family......"

This group, Chen Ping has analyzed it thoroughly, they lost their status and interests when Tianqi was established, and now, it is time to encourage them to recover, as a collaborator of the government, as a hundred stone officials, young officials, to assist in the governance of the place.

Thinking so, Hefu dropped this son to the left.

"The third white is the industrial and commercial class."

Unlike Qin, which had a relatively single class, Qi was highly urbanized and had a large number of artisans and merchants. Guan Zhong once said that "those who are the four people of agriculture and industry are also the stone people of the country", in Qi State, there is no discrimination against industry and commerce, and they have a certain economic strength and social status.

But this group, after the Qin Dynasty ruled Jiaodong, was hit hard: artisans in the salt and iron industry were forcibly incorporated into the government-run workshops. The policy of sneering at the market and not collecting taxes was also replaced by heavy taxes, and the status of merchants plummeted, and they could not go out with good clothes, and they were given priority in collecting and distributing their services.

As long as Qin's policy does not change for a day, this group of people will be the opposite of the imperial court, and it will be impossible to win them over for the time being. In the event of an incident, the big business owners were either the leaders of the uprising or secretly financed it, and the small craftsmen and hawkers joined the anti-Qin army.

"But I have resorted to means to neutralize me."

Heifu dropped the child in the middle, and looked at the two white children behind him.

They were the "scholars" of the Spring and Autumn Period, and now they have been divided into three kinds of people: rangers, Confucian scholars, and scholars.

Ranger doesn't need to think about it, Qi Zhi's skill to attack Ren Xia is famous, this group of proletarians is the most unstable in life, there are secret organizations in various places, they are prisoners arrested by the government day and night, and they are also diehards who are active in the front line of anti-Qin. The assassination incident in Chunyu County is likely to be organized by local rangers, and the robbers along the coast of Jiaodong are also inseparable from their generation.

And Confucianism, although it is also rejected by Qin Law, is a complex of contradictions in itself: they shout retro in their mouths, but they are extremely smooth and fickle, they will speak for whoever they eat, but they will scold their mothers when they put down their jobs. Among the doctors in Xianyang, many of them are from Jiaodong, such as Chun Yuyue around Fusu......

The local Confucian students in Jiaodong are extremely contradictory in the face of Qin's rule, and on the one hand, it is difficult to abandon the idea of "Qin is not the way, and abandons etiquette and takes the first credit". On the other hand, they do not have the backbone of Lu Zhonglian's "righteous emperor Qin", and they really want to join the system, peddle their own set of benevolent government retro, filial piety and righteousness to govern the country, and mix up an official and a half-job, after all, the idea of "learning and excelling is a master" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

There are also Fang Shi, whose attitude towards Qin is similar to that of Confucianism, both rejecting and wanting to cooperate, what if they succeed in deceiving the Qin people and making a fortune?

Their stance is very unresolute, and they can be classified into one category of people: intellectuals, stinky old nine.

This group of people still has illusions about the Qin Dynasty, and they don't have to blindly abandon it, they can be put in a neutral position.

In this way, if the industry and commerce and the intellectuals are neutral, the scene is already two against two.

Heifu set his sights on the sixth, and heaviest white!

"The first one is the peasant who accounts for ninety percent of the population of Jiaodong......"

Qin entered Jiaodong, and the local farmers did not benefit, and Heifu knew this very well.

Although he said nonsense that "the Tian clan is not right", in fact, the princes of the Tian clan are a hundred times stronger than Qi Jinggong, a good king who only knows how to loot the people and overhaul the palace!

The reason why the Tian clan was able to replace the Qi State was that several generations insisted on buying people's hearts by lending big buckets and recycling small buckets, which greatly curried favor with the peasants. Later, Tian transported timber from the mountains and forests and fish from the seaside to the towns, and sold them at a reasonable price, so as to please the citizens.

In addition, the Tian family raised good scholars, and the Shinong industry and commerce all supported the Tian family to seize power, overthrow the Jiang surname Qi Hou, and kill the decadent old nobles such as Yan, Guo, and Gao, which is not to destroy the withering and decaying, this is the power of the people.

In the early Warring States period, King Qi Wei and King Qi Xuan were eloquent and strategic, reusing meritocracy, deposing mediocrity, and making Qi rich and strong.

In the last two generations of monarchs, although the country is in decline, it is governed by Huang Lao's thought, and the peace of up to 50 years has been lightly punished, and the corn is full, and the people still think of Tian Qi's goodness.

As soon as the Qin people came, the taxes were several times heavier, and the life of the farmer changed from food and clothing to poverty.

So in history, Qi Zhutian opposed Qin, Qi from the people to the citizens, almost a hundred responses, within a month, two thousand miles of Qi Yi color......

So, copy the routines of later generations, mobilize farmers to fight the strong, and divide the land? The first to be beaten away was probably Heifu himself.

Even if you get the dragon slaying technique, you can't copy the regulations, you have to analyze specific cases and learn and apply them to see immediate results......

Heifu's hand, taken back, is very sad, the peasant is not a fool, the past days were good, the present days are bad, and the heart is clear. This heaviest white coin will not be reduced in taxes for a day, and the conscription will not be loosened for a day, and the black man will not be able to fall to the left.

"I only hope that after the relocation of Zhutian, I can use the large tract of land to resettle the landless farmers at the bottom, so that they can stand on my side......

The fifth volume of the dragon slaying technique is really useful, and after some analysis, Heifu already knows who is his enemy, who is his friend, and what he is going to do.

He is more clear about his position.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Heifu's face.

"I am a reactionary bureaucrat who stands on the opposite side of the overwhelming majority of the people!"

At this time, the carriage stopped, and Chen Ping's voice came from outside.

"County guard, Jimo has arrived!"

Heifu got up, lifted the curtain, faced the local officials and nobles who nodded towards him, looked at the snow-capped ancient city of Jimo in the distance, and said softly: "Let's start!" ”
