Chapter 12 Prospects

In the room, Yu Wenwen sat and waited for the strength of the wine to subside, and the meeting with the leader of the slang bureaucracy in Luzhou had ended, but he was still a little fluttering, and he didn't know how to drink too much local home-brewed wine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I don't think this kind of wine is just in the mouth, but the stamina is very strong, Yuwen Wen drank many glasses of "mere low-alcohol wine" as soon as he came up, but he almost couldn't stand it as soon as the stamina came up, and he also lost a good amount of alcohol, so he was quite conscious, and by the way, he played half-truths and half-truths and drunkenness.

"King, the record of the meeting has been sorted out, please take a look."

After receiving the record of the meeting handed over by Wang Yan, Yu Wenwen said apologetically while looking at it: "The widow drank and greeted you with a few punches, which is really unpleasant." ”

Yu Wenwen's status is noble, what can Wang Yan say when he is greeted by the other party a few times? Anyway, it didn't hurt anything, it just smiled.

"The king is drunk and reckless, but he has to use notes to write down, if he is a court official who reads it, it is always bad to read it, and he is bold, and please don't do it in the future..."

"It's okay, doesn't it mean that the widow is debauched and uninhibited, and he insults the majesty of the court in front of the Lingnan chieftain!" Yu Wenwen said with a big grin, "When you go to someone's land, you don't drink wine or eat, what kind of sincerity do you say?" ”

"Don't dare to drink heartily, is it because the wine is not clean? Don't dare to eat a lot of food, is it afraid that the food will be poisoned? is already a raw point, and there is a stinky shelf, and people are becoming more and more perfunctory to you. ”

Liu Wenjing, the secretary of the Xiyang Palace's palace and the marching marshal's office, was "excessively" used by Yuwenwen, and now stays in Panyu to deal with many affairs, so Wang Wei, who accompanied the army as a civilian, became a temporary secretary.

In other words, he became Yu Wenwen's temporary secretary, or the kind who just worked but didn't receive a salary.

One of the duties of the secretary is to record the words and deeds of the head of the house on official occasions, including the talks, which is also the source and source of the dialogues of the characters in the historical documents.

Of course, many of the dialogues of the characters that appear in the history books have been polished by the historians, and the "business scriptures" that Yu Wenwen said today, as the first recorder, Wang Yong, as the first recorder, cannot write them down word for word, but are very likely to be a few simple sentences:

The king of Xiyang summoned the chieftains of the Southern Barbarians in Luzhou, and after drinking, he lost his words and behaved frivolously.

It is not uncommon for a record room to record the words and deeds of the lord of the mansion in such a straightforward text, but most people will write tactfully, so as not to anger the lord of the mansion and cause themselves unlucky, but what Wang Jun wrote is really the above content.

Yu Wenwen looked at the record, had no intention of being angry at all, handed it back to Wang Yan and asked, "Are the widow's words and deeds frivolous?" ”

"Yes, I'm afraid that the princes of the court will have a lot of complaints after they learn about it." When Wang Yan said this, he persuaded again: "The king's words and deeds represent the majesty of the court, and please be cautious." ”

"The majesty of the imperial court? The majesty of the imperial court depends on the officials and the army, and the second depends on... Hey, the widow has his own measure. ”

Wang Fei felt so tired, just now he really thought that Yu Wenwen was drunk and crazy at first, but after tossing for a while, he found that this person was not drunk to the point of delirium, and after careful thinking, he felt that Yu Wenwen was acting again and deliberately misleading outsiders.

Dress up all day, you don't feel tired!

Although Wang Jun has a judgment in his heart, he still has to pretend to be stupid, he will not be stupid to say it so as not to backfire, so he directly summarized it with "drunk gaffes and frivolous behavior", which fulfilled Yu Wenwen's wish.

In the future, when the court read the records, I am afraid that some people will really think that he will not succeed as King Xiyang wishes.

"To get back to the point, Lingnan, especially the Jiaoguang area, is too far away from the Central Plains, and the climate is hot and humid, even if the imperial courts of the past dynasties have brought it under their jurisdiction, they are actually a little powerless."

Yu Wenwen's wine strength finally dissipated, but there were still a lot of words.

"At most, it can effectively control the eastern and western Hengzhou and Guangzhou, and most of the other prefectures and counties appoint local chieftains and cave lords as magistrates, that is, they nominally want these people to obey, but in fact, the affairs of the prefectures and counties are still decided by the local leaders."

"Therefore, these leaders actually have no opinion on which court will manage them, and what they care most about is whether the new court will damage their interests."

"You also said in the article Chen, the Lingnan slang chieftains, cave masters, generations have their own places, in fact, there is no unified leader, Gaoliang Feng Xian clan, Luzhou Chen clan and Anzhou Ning clan, these three wealthy clans just stand out with their prestige, at best they are leaders, and the leaders of various places are still doing their own thing."

"These three families, if someone wants to divide the Lingbiao and claim the king, the other leaders will obey, if the court sends troops to quell the rebellion, the other leaders will not resist, anyway, they will go with the flow."

"So what the imperial court wants to guard against is only the Gaoliang Feng Xian clan, the Luzhou Chen clan and the Anzhou Ning clan, to prevent them from uniting to provoke the first army to divide the territory, so how to prevent it? It's useless to rely on the garrison alone. ”

"There are too many soldiers, the burden is heavy, and even after a long time, the court will suspect that the leading generals will divide the territory; There are fewer soldiers, and they can't deter these three. ”

"Either you will buy it, spend money every year and give benefits to buy two of these three, lest the other party unite to empty the government, but in this way, you also said that it is to put out the fire with salary, which will only make the other party's appetite bigger and bigger, and more and more fearless."

"So what we really want to buy is the local leaders, as long as they can benefit from the cooperation with the government, they will not really follow the three families to rebel, or raise the price of those three families to buy the hearts of the people in Lingnan."

"The profits of stone honey are amazing, the leaders of various places can rely on the stone honey trade in exchange for many daily necessities, Feng Xian's family, Chen family, and Ning family's want to separate Lingnan and stand on their own, they must first consider how to make up for everyone's losses, so that they can rest assured that they can rebel."

"Otherwise, as soon as the counterinsurgency officers and troops arrive, some people want to lead the way for the officers and soldiers, destroy them and replace them, and I think that the patriarchs and heads of the three families will figure out the key, and before they can put their minds into action, they will retreat."

Yu Wenwen described a wonderful prospect, which was also what he had mentioned in his previous casual conversation with Wang Fei, but Wang Fei still decided to pour cold water: "Wang, this matter must be persisted in for more than a few years before it can be effective, but I am afraid that far water will not quench the thirst of the near." ”

"If you don't accumulate steps, you can't go thousands of miles, and besides, Mrs. Xian is also sincere in cooperating with the imperial court, with her in charge, plus the officers and soldiers stationed in Guangzhou don't make big mistakes, and they don't dare to mess around."

Wang Wei didn't know why Yuwenwen had so much confidence in Mrs. Xian, because he had just joined the Yuwenwen Shogunate and was still a temporary secretary, so it was inconvenient to ask too much, and even if he asked, the other party might not be able to say.

However, he could see that Yu Wenwen was very confident, especially to provide iron tools to the leaders who were willing to cooperate in various places, which was indeed a bit risky, but as long as he could ensure that the other party could only use it for farming and sugarcane, it was indeed a good move.

To improve people's livelihood, you can make a good living by farming and planting sugarcane, so who is idle and has nothing to do to rebel?

"Wang, I want to ask for advice, can Shi Mi really buy fifteen pounds in Chang'an?"

Hearing Wang Jun ask this, Yu Wenwen was a little surprised: "Haven't you bought it?" ”

"Ah, I'm ashamed, because I'm shy in my pocket, I really haven't bought it."

"Fifteen pounds of stone honey is a bit expensive, not just any kind of stone honey can be sold at this price, but the merchants in Huangzhou can do it." Yu Wenwen said this, showing a mysterious smile.

"The white sugar that is as white as frost, as well as the rock sugar like ice cubes, its sweetness will make the big families in Chang'an, Luoyang, Yecheng, and Jinyang obsessed, and gradually the rich people in the Central Plains will be accustomed to it."

"Everyone is inseparable from the stone honey, white sugar, rock sugar produced in Lingnan, and these ubiquitous sweeteners, more and more people benefit from the stone honey trade, who dares to rebel in Lingnan, who will be unlucky!"
