Chapter 1702 Strong wind attracts wealth

 On this day, Pei Mao came to the camp of the Southern Xiongnu again and met Yu Fuluo.

"I've seen Shanyu..." Pei Mao bowed his hands with a smile, "The General of the Cavalry replied to what Shanyu said..."

"Oh?" Yufuluo asked quickly, "What did General Husband say?"

Pei Mao shook his head and said, "General Cavalry said that he and Shanyu had a friendship from Pingyang, Bingzhou to fight against Baibo thieves..."

"Yeah..." Yu Fuluo nodded repeatedly.

"Since you are a brother, you can't favor one or the other..." Pei Mao continued naturally, "If Shanyu wants to learn some craftsmanship, General Pik Cavalry said of course he welcomed him. He had arranged a residence in Pingyang, and I wonder how many people Shanyu would send to study?"

"Yeah...uh?" Yu Fuluo was stunned for a moment, "What? Send someone? Didn't General Cavalry send craftsmen?"

Pei Mao smiled and said, "Brothers, of course they need to help each other, but it doesn't mean that everything can be connected, right? For example, I think the cattle and sheep in Shanyu are also quite good, much better than us. I can't just say that we are brothers, and then the cattle and sheep of Shanyu are my cattle and sheep, and then they will all be taken away... right?"

Yufuluo: “…”

"So, the best one is the cavalry like this..." Pei Mao continued, "Shanyu might as well think about it. If the craftsmen we sent were not very good, the Shanyu would definitely feel uncomfortable, right? He would think that we detained the good and did not give it to the Shanyu. Then the Shanyu would inevitably have resentment, and the brotherhood would be separated..."

Yu Fuluo shook his head quickly and said, "How could it be? How could it be? Nothing is wrong..."

Pei Mao smiled and did not follow up, and continued, "We can't send the best craftsmen here either. Just as the Shanyu could not give us all his men, horses, cattle and sheep... So isn't this the best way? The Shanyu felt that there was a lack of craftsmen, so he sent people to learn. After learning, wouldn't it be the Shanyu's own craftsmen? Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Yu Fuluo frowned, thought for a while, and then asked, "Can you learn anything?"

Pei Mao nodded and said with certainty: "Yes! General of the Cavalry said that Shanyu can learn anything!"

Yu Fuluo's eyes rolled a few times, then made a decision: "Okay! Since that's the case, I'll call up some people to go to Pingyang!"

"Okay!" Pei Mao agreed and immediately said, "Then Shanyu will pay the tuition first... I wonder how many people the Shanyu will send to study?"

"(⊙o⊙)?" Yu Fuluo stared, "Tuit? What?"

"Tuiche! As the name suggests, it is the cost of learning!" Pei Mao also stared at him and said seriously, "Everyone needs to pay tuition for learning things! We Han people have to pay tuition for everything we study by ourselves! And this tuition is not given to me, or to General Pik Cavalry, but to those craftsmen! Shanyu, think about it, if you sent someone to go there, do you want to learn more and learn better? Then if you don't give craftsmen tuition, how could craftsmen be willing to teach? Craftsmen are unwilling to teach some good things, and those who go to Shanyu can't learn anything every day. Even if General Pik Cavalry has waived accommodation, they still have to eat and drink. Isn't it equivalent to wasting Shanyu's money?"

"This... wait, wait..." Yu Fuluo rubbed his head with a headache, "Why do I think... this means... there are other expenses besides tuition fees? Are you not brothers? What are these fees? Shouldn't they be paid by General Cavalry..."

"What the Shanyu said..." Pei Mao pointed out and pointed out, "Are you a visit between brothers? Of course it is appropriate to entertain him, but this study is not something that can be learned in one or two days, or ten or eight days... Just like I come once or twice, the Shanyu entertains me for food, drink, cattle and sheep. If the Shanyu goes to our side next time, we also entertain the Shanyu. This is all right, and there is nothing to say, but if I bring thousands or tens of thousands of people here every day, and do nothing, I will eat, drink every day, and also have to entertain the Shanyu, how many days can the Shanyu eat, cattle and sheep? Moreover, our General of the Cavalry said that the residence has been arranged, and for the sake of brotherhood, there will be no money, but the people of the Shanyu have to prepare for this food and drink matter..."

"This..." Yu Fuluo was speechless, "Let me think about it...think again..."

Pei Mao smiled and said, "Okay, Shanyu can slowly consider this learning matter, but is this warrior? The opportunity for war is fleeting, so we can't say that we can slowly consider it..."

…(??_??)…

For Fei Qian, Yu Fuluo's problem is basically not a problem, but there are still many problems waiting for Fei Qian to solve...

Generally speaking, if I was particularly famous and then published in history books, most historians would mention descendants and attach the inheritance of their children. However, it is strange that the Cai family of Chenliu seemed that they could not find any other person's name except Cai Yong and Cai Yan.

For example, when writing about Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, they must also mention the sons of these people. Even if the son died first than me, even if Zheng Xuan was in Kong Rong's hands, he still died in Yuan Tan's hands. He also pointed out some ink.

Therefore, in history books, if the previous generation is very famous and then does not mention their sons and grandchildren after death, the only explanation is that the children and grandchildren are not material, and the inheritance will be quickly cut off.

Fei Qian's view is that this is probably the case in the Chenliu Cai family during the Three Kingdoms period. Although there were many celebrities in the Cai family in later generations, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, no well-known figure appeared in the Chenliu Cai family in a century or two hundred years since Cai Yong and Cai Yan...

After all, during the Three Kingdoms period in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, for the gentry families, even if they were ordinary poor families, as long as they were considered to be of a middle-aged talent, they would have a relatively spacious channel for promotion. It is not difficult to become an official, and it is not a problem to go to either party.

In the late Three Kingdoms, neither Wei nor Shu nor Wu, the Cai family left a mark. Either the Cai family in Chenliu was unfortunately affected by the war between Cao Cao and the two Yuans in the early days, or the children of the Cai family were unfortunately caught in the ravine or infected with plague during the process of surrendering. They died before they could do something memorable.

This is very common for a person to die in a bad life during the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms, so even historians think that there is nothing to indicate when they are common.

Therefore, how to deal with the Chenliu Cai family, or how to arrange it, has become a problem that Fei Qian has to face.

Marriage is not simply about men and women's love. Accepting one person is not entirely only one person, but a family, which was particularly obvious in the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, how did the famous foreign relatives group formed in the Han Dynasty?

Cai Gu and others, just like Fei Qian's two brothers, are talented but ambitious. Seeing others in charge of things, they ignore whether they can do well. Even if they are jealous, they will inevitably implicate others and ask others to apply their butts. But they will not be able to throw them away completely and ignore them at all.

Fei Qian's rank is already quite high now. If Fei Qian can continue from now on, even if Fei Qian is known as a new noble family among Guan Luo, of course, whether it can be settled into an old family is not a matter of a generation.

Therefore, incompetent people such as Cai Gu, Fei He, and Fei Yu have become Fei Qian’s current useless problems.

Now it seems that Cai Gu, Fei He, Fei Yu and others do not have much ambitions. They only pursue some food and drinks on weekdays. According to Fei Qian's current wealth, even if they raise a group of people like him to eat and drink every day, they can't spend it all, so they didn't care much before. However, Cai Gu is obviously used by others and has no self-knowledge, which is more troublesome.

People of that era were not short of ambitions.

Feihe and Feiyu are old and can't be left in the academy forever and insist on promoting it? It's just a matter of Feiqian's words. But the problem is that Feihe and Feiyu are both knowledge and wisdom. If they really hold any official position, they may be a disaster to the people in civil affairs and a loss of soldiers and generals in military affairs...

It is also good to throw it to the place and go to the grassroots level to exercise and increase your knowledge and experience from a certain perspective, but people like Cai Gu, Feihe, and Feiyu are used to enjoying each other, and of course they will not be willing and do not have the awareness, otherwise they would have been able to make arrangements long ago.

This is a problem, and another problem is that if Cai Yan and Cai Yong's tomb need to be renovated. The relationship with Hongnong Yang will also become a bit subtle. As Hongnong Yang, he will definitely worry about when Fei Qian will find an excuse to settle the autumn harvest. Although he may not be very loyal now, Fei Qian does not want to intensify the conflict immediately. Boiling a frog in warm water is a better model.

In theory, people can learn and make progress. Therefore, Cai Gu, Feihe, Feiyu and other related households may also become better, but such uncertainty is not worth Feiqian's expectation.

In the Han Dynasty, the country was governed by filial piety. As long as there was a relevant filial piety, even if there was a crime, it could be reduced. Even if it was a risk of violating national laws, it might be rumored to be a good story. In such a general environment, Fei Qian's reputation has always been better, so it is impossible to ignore these people at all. Just how to place them becomes a problem.

Not as good as...

While Fei Qian was thinking, suddenly a soldier came to report that it was south of Hexi that a large number of Qiang people gathered, as if they were intending to attack Hexi and Longxi!

"Hmm? This Yang Yishan..." Fei Qian frowned, and then took apart the information submitted by the soldiers. Fang suddenly realized, "So that's it..."

…(づ ̄3 ̄)づ…

At dusk, a ray of setting sun slowly sank under the horizon, leaving behind a few red clouds, still lingering in the vast twilight mist.

This is the plateau south of Hexi, which is within the area of ​​Tibet in later generations. On the open space outside the tent, Yang Fu stood with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the dim sky, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

If there is additional choice, Yang Fu is unwilling to push the situation to war. War is a continuation of politics, because there is no relevant interests at the negotiating table and the contradictions cannot be reconciled, and it will inevitably lead to war.

These people in Tibet, the mixed Xianbei, Qiang people, and the ancient Meng people, have been isolated in Tibet for a long time, and because the Eastern Han Dynasty has no power to enter this area for a long time, these people think that this area is their territory, and it also includes the Hexi Corridor.

In the eyes of these people, the Han people were invaders. So they plundered the goods of Baishi Qiang, burned the temporary Han camp, and tied the arrested people to wooden pillars to death...

The key is that Yang Fu noticed signs of not being very good in these things. Such fierce conflicts and contradictions seemed to be pushing behind the scenes! Or, someone deliberately wanted to provoke things and was unwilling to calm down!

"Join the army..." Xu Ding stood beside Yang Fu, looked at the setting sun in the sky like Yang Fu, and said, "I still have to fight... Why can't these people make sense..."

Yang Fu shook his head and said, "It's not that it doesn't make sense, but these people pretend to be confused... Xu Duwei, do you know what these words mean in the Qiang language, 'Futi Xiboye'?"

Xu Ding said: "Please join the army and give advice."

"Haha..." Yang Fu smiled twice, pointed in the south with his hand, and said, "This is the title they gave him... 'Futi Siboye' means the king of the sun in the sky, or the king of light... Xu Duwei, do you think that those who have given him such a name will willingly hold peace talks?"

Xu Ding shook his head silently.

"But..." Xu Ding wanted to speak but stopped.

Yang Fu glanced at Xu Ding and said, "Wife Xu Dushou has any ideas, why not just say it..."

Xu Dinggong bowed and said, "I just remembered the old story of the Western Qiang..."

Yang Fu sighed, nodded, and said, "This is exactly something that is worried... If you don't fight, it will be a big problem sooner or later. If it cannot be decided by a fight, I'm afraid..."

Longxi and Xiliang were barren. The Western Regions had no jurisdiction over the Han Dynasty for a long time. It was not because the Western Regions had desertified during the Han Dynasty, but because of the long-term war state, this area could not meet the most basic needs of tens of thousands of troops and more than tens of thousands of people, whether it was animal husbandry or farming.

To control this area, there must be at least 20,000 permanent soldiers, and to support these 20,000 soldiers, there must be at least 200,000 permanent population base.

A large part of the reason for the rebellion of the Qiang people in Xiliang was not because of the capriciousness of the Qiang people, but the officials sent by the court did not care about the life and death of Xiliang, and committed rebellious actions and imposed heavy taxes, which caused the people's livelihood in Xiliang, lack of money, and mourning everywhere. Of course, for these officials, if they wanted to leave this ghost place, whether for Emperor Ling of Han or the Ten Constant Assassins, they had to have a large sum of money, and this money was naturally impossible to come out of themselves...

Therefore, the previous Western Liang government of the Han Dynasty can be said to be the darkest and corrupt place in the entire Han Dynasty's government. In the end, a rebellion broke out. Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others successively led the rebels, and eventually gave Dong Zhuo a chance to grow, becoming the root cause of the Han Dynasty's government.

The Hexi Corridor is undoubtedly very fragile at this stage, whether geographically or militaryally. If no matter what kind of guys call themselves the "Light Clan", then who can guarantee that these people will not go further? At that time, will the Western Region Protectorate of General Cavalry be isolated?

"So, if you fight, you must fight, but you should not fight for a long time..." Yang Fu said, "So, I gave a letter to General Cavalry and asked General Cavalry to arrange soldiers, and make sure to use the momentum of thunder and one stroke! If it were the method of adding troops like the one that year, I'm afraid..."

"The main problem is the food and grass..." Xu Ding also looked into the distance and said, "If there are too few soldiers and horses, we cannot give enough blows to these people. If there are too many soldiers and horses, we will supply food and grass..."
