Chapter 40: The Big Picture
To the east of Bashui in Chang'an, there is a newly built guest house in Beijing, which was originally an illegal gathering, and later presided over by Yuan Kungang, which turned this place into a subsidy for the two counties in central Beijing, and all the businesses that built the guest house here had to pay a land lease fee, and pay the "city Yi Li Jin" every ten years, which was about 5 percent of the income.
Unlike other places, those who can settle down in Chang'an City to make a living can be literate and can build a general account book. And the small officials in Chang'an City are also different from other places, they can check the accounts. The two counties in central Beijing also specially "hired" some retired veteran officials in the accounting department, not to mention that they are as wise as a torch, but the tricks of the old years cannot deceive them.
As a result, the finances of the two county governments in Chang'an City were quite good, and even the Jinwu Yamen was even in charge, and occasionally asked Wannian County and Chang'an County to borrow a sum of money to order fire extinguishing tools through the guarantee of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War.
Wait until the second year when the amount sent by the imperial court arrives, and then post one or two percent of the interest and return it to the second county government.
Therefore, people who have lived in Chang'an for a long time know that although the guest house east of Bashui looks a little messy, it is really not bad to make a living. And during the New Year's holidays, because there are many merchants, it is even more fun and lively than in the city. The playful teenagers in Beijing like to ride horses the most, whether it is sumo, wrestling, sanshou, swordsmanship and spear competitions, or polo, ball-holding, billiards...... It's all fascinating.
"What's that?"
"The servant who will come here is probably Su Chang's voice."
Inside a high-rise building, inside and outside a private seat on the second floor, there are sword-wielding warriors guarding them. In late spring and early summer, there are not many people who eat spirits, but many people drink some rice wine.
"Hou Gong, the matter of the commander of the southern capital to behead the Xigong, Your Majesty's intention is ......"
"What does it mean to kill a dog? Hey, this woman's singing voice is really funny, it's like getting into an ear piercing. Good! He slapped his thigh with his palm, then waved his hand, pointed downward, and saw a bear and tiger man, in the basket, grabbed a handful of Kaiyuan Tongbao, and threw it directly from the second floor.
The uproar is a piece of newly made Kaiyuan Tongbao, which is golden and shiny, and it is very eye-catching.
The first floor is in a mess, the second floor is still scattering coins, upstairs and downstairs, the atmosphere is warm.
"Who's on the second floor? Which coin is it? ”
"Shh......h The coins on the second floor are either rich or expensive, so don't make trouble. ”
Hou Shangshu, who felt that it was very cool to scatter coins, came back to his senses, and then said to the side: "Earlier, I had to deal with the miscellaneous pieces of Liaodong, and the old man spared them once, Your Majesty let the eight party departments and more than 30 small departments each have their own clan's assassination history, and they are bound in more than 30 states, but it is just for the sake of not wanting to increase the killing." ”
"Now in Liaodong, how much territory is left in Gaolinu? South of Yalu Water, another year or two, it will be too peaceful. Tuoba Chici, this old dog, is still Murong Fuyun's in-law, who chased and killed Fu Yun back then, who doesn't want him to die? I just got into trouble with Cheng Chubi, I don't know whether I am alive or dead! ”
Hearing Hou Junji's sneering words, the others asked in a low voice: "Hou Gong, but what if the 'party is righteous' because of this?" ”
"That's against the damn." Hou Junji laughed disdainfully, his eyes lit up, "Do you think Cheng Chubi really found someone who wanted to assassinate him?" What kind of place was Dunhuang? Hebei swordsman Hedong horse thieves gathered in more than 10,000 extralegal places, vendetta all year round, revenge from morning to night, stuffed a judge in the past, and it was also a matter of slashing people with a knife. ”
"Isn't it bad for the overall situation of Tulun?"
"The big picture? Who's the big picture? In Tulun moraine, Cheng Chubi is the overall situation! ”
I grabbed a honey-roasted leg of lamb, mixed with mutton fat and honey, and when I took a bite, it was full of juice and flew there. Hou Junji ate wildly, gobbled up a few bites, and then wiped his beard, carrying a leg of mutton and pointing at others, "Do you still think this is the past?" Fetters? Fucking birds! From now on, there will be no more Tuoba clan. ”
Everyone was awe-struck, and suddenly a cronie remembered something, lowered his voice, and asked, "Ming Gong, is it related to Qinghai Ranch?" ”
"Hey."
Hou Junji's eyes lit up under the whale oil lamp, sniffed the fragrance in the air, he propped up one leg, his arm was on his knee, and the leg of mutton in his hand was still dripping with grease and honey downward, "'Kavaha' that thing, the Hu man who offered it, brought several sheep breeds, there is a kind of Jia family in Qinghai to breed, the hair is thick and dense, much better than the current Hetao sheep, Hebei sheep, Liangzhou sheep. ”
"It's called Shaheli, and he has a Chinese name, called Wujing."
"Yes, it's this Sha Wujing."
Licking his lips, "Tugu Hun old land, the party members occupy the territory of more than 30 states. Among them, the Tuoba clan is the largest, and when Lao Tzu fought over that year, Wei Gong was also packing up wool in the camp tent. In that kind of land, it is a tyrannical thing to put cattle and horses for that barbarian. ”
Speaking of this, Hou Junji's eyes narrowed slightly, looking extremely gloomy: "The Tuoba clan is not dead, how can you raise sheep in the enclosure?" Is it possible to rely on the words of His Majesty the Emperor to influence such bandits? ”
"When Ming Gong talked about wool, I heard that the Dahe Workshop was also looking for a captive place for this new sheep breed, and I heard that the Hetao was also driving people."
"Those Huns in the Huyan Department are just waste."
Hou Junji, who knew all about this, sneered, "You remember, on this Silk Road out of Liangzhou, there are 7,000 'Party Items and Righteous Servants' among the barbarian soldiers, and there are too many fucking ones!" ”
"What Shangshu said is the words of Lao Cheng and seeking the country."
"Hou Gong is open-minded and sincerely admires us."
After a sycophantic attack, Hou Junji laughed, but he secretly said in his heart: Cheng Chubi killed Tuoba Chici, I am afraid that it is also in the emperor's intention, Dunhuang Palace is built by the imperial order, how can the barbarians gather troops into an army to come and go freely?
Although the Gangster is a hooligan and his character is not fake, he is not a fool. What is the situation of Tulun moraine, he personally led his troops to fight over, he doesn't know?
That boundary is not a question of whether it can be fought or not, but it needs human lives to fill it.
It's not enough to rely on the current people!
When he was still the general manager of the Western March, he pondered that the "party and the righteous followers" should go to the soil to mine, but he didn't know the essentials.
Now it is different, the big farms in Liaodong, Hebei Province, and the big pastures in Daluobo are in the past, and the Tulun moraine is very different from the previous governance and control methods.
In the past, many farmers were used to farm the land and spread it on people's heads. Now...... In a large farm, what you want is more oxen, more plows, and more machines, but you don't need more people.
People have to be driven to the factory, the slaughterhouse, and the battlefield, and let them shear, soak and wash the sheep, let them kill cattle and sheep, and let them kill people and send them to death.
Q Why?
Hou Junji listened to Su Chang's singing voice, shook his head to eat meat and drink wine, and then laughed: "I have thousands of catties and thousands of taels of silver!" ”10
