Chapter 41: Southern War Clouds

Rulers from humble backgrounds may have inevitable similarities, for example, the practicality of Yanbei reminds Zhong Xuan of Yedu of a person, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao Liu Bang. In the same way, regardless of tradition, even ignoring the enemy and me, and completely accepting the inheritance brought by the Qin Dynasty to the world, how similar is this to Yanbei's argument in Taixue - as long as it is useful, it is a good tradition in the future!

In fact, if you think about it, it is not difficult to understand. Xiang Yu is a noble of the Chu State, and he has the tradition of the Chu State; King Qin is even more so, from Xianggong to the first emperor Qinchuan monarch thirty-one years, how much courage and how deep the background is, the old Qin people don't care about other people's traditions, even the Shang Jun's changes have been greatly suppressed, and finally died without a place to be buried.

The law is not easy to change, but if it is a good law, the benefits to the country are boundless. The Six Kingdoms, if you say no, you don't have it, the book is the same as the car, and there is a real unified dynasty after the Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Gao Liu Bang is different, in the eyes of pragmatists, the King of Han has no background, but the King of Qin has, so there is the Han Cheng Qin system.

In fact, where is there any tradition in this world? What is useful will naturally be left behind by future generations and become a new tradition. And the more these useful traditions, the more powerful the country will be, and what can make the country strong and the people happy is called tradition.

Otherwise, it's not called tradition, it's called bad habits.

For the Great Unification Dynasty, it is enough for the country to be strong, and a strong country has self-confident people, and self-confident people do not need ethereal traditions to support their confidence, they will use their hands and wisdom to create future traditions.

Just like the atmosphere of the Western Han Dynasty, when the people didn't like old things...... Cloth coins, knife coins, round money, ant nose money, old money, old clothes, old countries and even old love, people don't like it.

No one thinks that's bad.

Whether to follow the ancient system or to change the law is itself full of contradictions at any time. On the one hand, changing the law means progress, and on the other hand, it will also harm the vested interests and those who have not gained the interests between the old law and the new law.

Looking at it from the perspective of later generations, it is just a fluttering sentence of the pain of the times, but who understands the hardships of people living at that time?

Yanbei's useful sentence is the tradition in the future, which is equivalent to agreeing that the present text is far stronger than the ancient text, and his final word on this kind of thing is even far superior to the emperor. So many scholars have studied the ancient scriptures and meanings for many years, and in the end they are belittled and useless. What's more, there are also those officials and old nobles of the imperial court, although the imperial court was in turmoil under the existing system, they were able to maintain a meagre amount of dignity in the end, but Yanbei was full of practicality...... They seem to be playing a role less than a teenager's doll in this era of great change.

But they're useless? Of course not, they are useful, and even Yan Bei's original intention is not to look down on them, but he has no way and no channel to let the people of the world know what he is thinking in his head.

Still, at least he let the farmers know what he was thinking.

Although Yanbei led the troops west and merged with the state, the Yedu court did not stop operating due to the westward conquest of the Xiongnu. Tian Feng took a cart of dozens of pounds of books to meet the Dasi Nong Kong Rong, and when he returned to the Da Sima Mansion, the subordinates of the Dasi Nong had already passed on the message and ordered the counties to select the farmers with the highest yield per mu, and pay tribute to the imperial court to regulate different agricultural tools in the county, and send them to Beijing as soon as possible.

At the same time, the Jizhou Pastoral Government also set aside 100 hectares of fields in Wei County for farmers from all over the country to cultivate mulberry, lacquer, fruit trees, wheat, millet, and liang fields. In Zhangwu in the northern part of the Bohai Sea, the state capital also set aside several iron mountains, and Zhang Leigong, an iron official in Youzhou, recruited thousands of skilled craftsmen from the north, so that they could each smelt steel and forge armor in their own ways.

This is the mission that Yanbei instructed Tian Feng to assign before leaving, and now it is the time when the farming is busy, and the imperial court needs to have a better method of forging soldiers and a better method of cultivating the fields. Yanbei got enough benefits when he built Tiewu in Liaodong, and the biggest experience was that he didn't bother the two masters for anything, and he didn't do it well if he expected scholars who hardly went to the ground to do this kind of thing. It is also forbidden to do such a thing as striking iron without allowing a samurai who wields a sword or a blacksmith who wields a sword.

In the best era for the powerful and the worst for the weak, in just over a month, hundreds of outstanding farmers from various counties of Jizhou were brought back to Wei County by the galloping riders, and the farmers from Youzhou were on their way; It was easier for the craftsmen in the two states, because the status of the blacksmith was not much higher than that of the farmer to some extent, and the only difference was that many farmers were tenants, while the blacksmith was a slave.

And the high-ranking officials and nobles of Youji, no matter how reluctant the noble clan is, they dare not disobey the imperial court and even Yanbei's orders because of this trivial matter.

There is nothing to be afraid of disobeying the imperial court, but disobeying Yanbei...... If it is not Yanbei's turn, a military marquis can lead his soldiers to burn down Wu Fort, and to a large extent, it is the greatest gift to them to be able to live in peace.

To this day, the Haoqiang, the big clan, and even the scholar clan, in the imperial court in Yanbei, if they don't want to get the fate of the dead clan, there is only one way to surrender.

Because Yanbei is the most powerful clan, the Yan clan is the most powerful clan, and even controls the ascending channels for the scholars to be proud of in the past, not to mention the scholars, celebrities, and even military nobles, those who gather around the Yan clan are undoubtedly not rare in the north.

In addition to being attached to their relatives, the lower-level nobles will bring about their own destruction if their brains are broken.

It is a good time for the grass to grow and warbler in the south of the Yangtze River, the north bank of the Yellow River is full of spring, the farmers in calf-nosed pants in the fields are busy, and the imperial court offers the benefits of a third-class title and a bounty to let them use their housekeeping skills to cultivate the incomparably fertile land of Wei County, and they are naturally willing to show their skills in the fields. As for the scribes who followed closely after them, what does it have to do with the experience of dictating their every movement?

The thriving scene even made the officials of the DPRK and China suddenly think that they had returned to the land of Guanzhong twenty years ago, but a bloody human head sent from Guanzhong in a box reminded people that it was still an extremely sad and chaotic time at this time.

After all, Dong Cheng's head was sent to the imperial court by Nanyang Zhang Xiu in a wooden box, and now Zhang Xiu has become the Nanyang Taishou of the general, and his overtures have made the imperial court, especially the cadres of the Great Sima Mansion, excited, and they are very aware of the covetousness of the Great Sima to Nanyang...... Nanyang has the best iron ore and craftsmen in the world, which is incomparable to Liaodong, Bohai and even Wu'an, and the only disadvantage is that it is a little far away from Kyoto.

It's just that Zhang Xiu's sudden overture also made Tian Feng puzzled, but this only lasted for more than ten days, and a letter from Guanzhong answered all his doubts for him.

Cao Cao, who conquered Yuzhou, further extended his hand to Jingzhou, with Yingchuan as the front-line camp, and attacked Nanyang!
