Hedong.
"How could the royal nobles bow their heads and flatter the eagles and dogs after the dignified Lu State?"
When Sima Yi asked all the powerful men in Hedong to hand over their private soldiers to pass the documents to Zhixian County, a burst of roar suddenly sounded in the Liu family mansion!
Liu Rong, who was sitting in the head, looked angry, "This is the humiliation of Liu!"
It’s not that Liu Rong is really bad and he is exhausted, but that he must protect the interests of the Liu family, otherwise he will be meaningless as the leader of the Liu family.
Liu family originated from Liu Xiahui.
Well, actually, Liu Xiahui is not surnamed Liu either.
The Liu family in Hedong and other Hedong surnames have a development process, while the development of the powerful people in most places actually has a relatively "obscure" period and are unwilling to express it in detail.
For example, the Liu family in Hedong has always emphasized that their ancestor was Liu Xiahui, but from Liu Xiahui to Rise and then to Hedong Lion Roar, how did they accumulate huge family wealth, making a woman proud of her courage to do lion roar, and that those who practice feudal era boxing were definitely not relying solely on her appearance.
Hard work can make you prosperous, but you will never get rich.
Most of the powerful people who made their fortunes in a certain turbulent period were reluctant to share their fortunes, not because they were afraid that someone would imitate them...
The Liu family in Jie County, Hedong, migrated here during the Qin Dynasty and did not improve much. However, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it suddenly shook, just like what someone said, in the morning, he was dressed in a farmer's outfit, and at night he wore a straight suit, with two words written on his face.
But Liu Rong felt that this was his own ability.
How can you hand over the money you get with your skills?
How can the soldiers who have been brought by their abilities be handed over?
Liu Rong's appearance actually looks pretty good, with a square face and three long whiskers hanging down to his chest. He usually looks like a gentleman, but when he gets angry, his eyelids stand up, his triangle eyes show a fierce look, like a fierce beast.
It is no wonder that Liu Rong was very proud of himself. During the Hengling period, because the central court's control over local areas gradually declined, especially the abandonment of the policy of the north, Hedong under the north almost faced the erosion and threat of the Xianbei in the north. Therefore, like other border counties in the Han Dynasty, the initial purpose might be only to protect oneself or survive.
Just like most generations work hard when families or enterprises are in trouble, there is nothing wrong with that, but then in this process, behavioral deviations may begin to occur...
In the process of Liu's family accumulating family business, it is absolutely impossible to use gentle methods or kind methods. After getting used to violence, when encountering problems, they will inevitably use violence subconsciously. After all, it is simple, convenient, and direct and effective.
Later, Fei Qian was in Pingyang, but Fei Qian had never attacked the powerful people in Hedong, and was mainly targeting the Wei family, so the Liu family naturally had no reason to jump out to resist. Now Sima Yi wrote a piece of paper and wanted to mobilize Liu's private soldiers, which was almost like cramps and bones that made Liu family unacceptable.
Liu Rong knew very well that the Liu family in Hedong has developed to this level, how could it be achieved without the power involved in gangs? I really thought it was hardworking sweat? That was all blood! If you hand over these private soldiers under your command, it would be equivalent to admitting the dirty things that Liu had done before. Just talk about how to continue exploiting in the future and how to maintain Liu's suppression of the countryside?
Could it be that those mud legs are turning over and riding on their faces to shit?
Uncle can tolerate it, but Liu Rong can’t!
Once you live a good life like this, almost no one will be willing to continue to live a hard life.
The same is true in history.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the local administration was chaotic. Even after the Jin Dynasty was unified, the three surnames of Hedong also corrupted all the Hedong County from county magistrates to county magistrates, from county magistrates to county magistrates. Those who like beauty gave maids and concubines, and those who like money gave money. After the superior officials of the county were dealt with, the only three surnames were the leader of the horse.
Although the court repeatedly prohibits bribery and bribery, how many people can send their children to the most dangerous places like a great man, and really pay for the country without asking for anything in return? Anyone who has a prime minister's son or the grandson of the third prince collects money cannot be dealt with. The so-called severe punishment and prohibition is just a joke. In the end, you cannot say, ask, publish, and publicize.
The tricks of bribery have been tried and proved that the land of Hedong gradually became a private territory. The Eight Kings of the upper classes of the Western Jin Dynasty were in chaos and had no intention of controlling counties. However, Hedong simply colluded with some Hu people, allowing the Hu people, or pretending to be Hu people, invading the local area, making the areas controlled by the officials smaller and smaller, while the private territory became larger and larger. In the end, the officials of the Jin Dynasty could only focus on the government offices and government offices. As for matters outside the government offices, they could only turn a blind eye.
Among the last Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were important Han officials among almost all the countries built by the Hu people...
Yoxi.
This is the old problem of local tyrants in all dynasties. No matter how much dynasty changes, as long as their clans remain unchanged, it doesn’t matter who becomes the emperor, as long as their family can still be the local emperor.
"Sima is coming in a fierce way... The clan uncle still needs to think more..."
Liu Fu, who was sitting on one side, frowned and disagreed with Liu Rong's thoughts.
"Oh?" Liu Rong looked over, "What do you mean? Sima is nothing more than a hawk and dog! Why fear it!"
At this time, the Sima family was not very famous. For the three surnames of Hedong, the Sima family can only be considered a foreigner, and a foreigner who has not been new to him for a long time. Just like in many places in China, not only Edinburgh will reject foreigners and shout out foreign dogs and get out of the way. Even the free Midi is the same. Even if he wants to do something, he still needs locals to lead foreigners. How can he let the Sima family guide them in turn?
What's more, from a certain perspective, Sima is still a murderer! He is the Minister of Temple in Dali, who betrayed his original identity and became a loyal hawk under the General of the Cavalry!
Can you believe such a person?
Liu Fu did not deny this, but after criticizing Sima Yi's identity, Liu Fu also said, "This person is also a capable minister and is deeply trusted by the cavalry. He went in and out of the cavalry's hall with Pang Shiyuan Zaozijing and others. If he disobeyed his wishes, he would probably have many troubles in Hedong since then!"
Liu Fu was originally kind-hearted, but Liu Rong thought that Liu Fu was looking for an opportunity to deliberately provoke his authority, so he blew up and said, "Now Liu is innocent and obedient! If he pays private soldiers, wouldn't he prove himself guilty?! If he obeys Sima Shuzi, I'm afraid that Liu will be in trouble!"
After saying this, Liu Rongyou felt that Liu Fu was too ignorant. Originally, Liu Rong summoned Liu Fu and others to come to make Liu Fu and others agree to endorse the letter, so as to indicate that Liu Rong is still a leader of the Liu family, a leader of freedom, democracy and justice, and not to let Liu Fu raise any objections!
young people……
Uh, no, Liu Fu is still ignorant!
Liu Rong thought about it in a blink of an eye and thought he had found out the truth. He sneered and said, "Don't think that Sima Qianshi is a noble person! He just clings to him to seek it out, wouldn't he know that people can do the best?"
Is the word "Everyone can do your best"? In fact, it was actually not a strange and lustful meaning at the beginning, just like "holding a gun and playing a stick", and it was all the old drivers of all dynasties who had broken the way...
Liu Fu is Jia Qu's brother-in-law.
This accusation originated from Liu Rong's mouth is naturally very vicious.
Liu Fu left the table angrily and left with his sleeves.
"The word comes out!" Liu Rong said loudly, "The Liu family is clean and innocent, serves the country and the people, and is loyal and sincere! They are dedicated to the country, and their sleeves are clear and breeze! There is no matter of being frivolous, and there is no selfless hiding and accepting soldiers!"
"Liu, there is no soldier to get married!"
...
...
『As the saying goes, "The one who holds the fullness and the heaven, the one who keeps the fullness and the earth," Liu Fu shook his head, 『Now, Liu's family does not know that the fullness should be full, and they will not follow the way of things, and the disaster will not be far away."
After returning home, Liu Fu found a very young guest, Liu Gui.
He was young and young, so he had no say at all. He would not even ask Liu Gui to attend the discussions that would ask Liu Fu to participate.
Who cares what a child says?
But Liu Fu did not regard Liu Gui as a child.
Because Liu Fu knew that even in his thirties or forties, some people are still a child who is limited by their own desires and fallen into injecting more than a dozen small goals, while others may be only thirteen or fourteen years old and have already begun to bear the heavy responsibilities of the entire family and drag the heavy responsibilities forward.
Before, he thought Jia Qu was such a responsible young man, and then he saw the second such man, Liu Gui.
"Liu's family wants to survive in troubled times, and should think about the three paths of heaven, man and earth," Liu Fu said in a deep voice, "Liu's family is like cooking oil in fire, and it will be overturned immediately! Although the cavalry is not in Chang'an, there are Yinshan troops and horses in the distance, and Pingyang's heavy troops nearby, all of them are attracted but not launched! If the Liu family is slightly... the Liu family will be powdered..."
Although Liu Gui was very smart, he was a little older after all, so he blurted out, "But... you are not... If this is the case, I'm afraid that my elder brother would have defiled his reputation..."
Liu Fu smiled. He understood what Liu Zhi meant.
Interest is the most critical issue, not emotions.
Before the final decision, you can be confused, hesitate, fear, and joy, but the final decision must be related interests. The family is the first priority. The rest of the personal emotions can be slowly savored afterwards or forgotten.
Some people in the family run to the abyss, and they always have to stand up and shout out, saving other people as much as possible, even if they are criticized for this...
"That's it, I'll go to Pingyang alone..." Liu Fu whispered, "If there is any change... don't hesitate, put the Liu family first!"
Liu Gui was stunned at first, then silent.
Liu Fu smiled, "Anyway, I... I'm just a person who is tempted by the flames and possesses power... There are still people who have a reputation among the Liu family... Your reputation is very good, that's enough..."
It is precisely because of Jia Qu that he can bear the infamous reputation.
Ordinary people can't bear it.
Even so, there are only a few who can take the initiative to stand up and be responsible. Most people are unwilling to bear any responsibility and are only willing to sit down and enjoy the results.
Liu Gui fell to the ground and gave a great gift to Liu Fu.
Liu Fu helped Liu Gui up and patted Liu Gui's arm, "I am just wise and talented, so I can only do this..."
It may be difficult for later generations to understand, but as long as you understand the customs of the Han Dynasty, you will understand it.
No matter what, no matter whether it is right or wrong, in the Han Dynasty, disobeying the elders was a very serious crime. Even if the elders made mistakes, in the Confucian classics, children and grandchildren must be persuaded with kind words. Even if they are punished and beaten by their elders, they must be willing to accept it. If other means are used to forcibly stop them, it means that they will be infected with bad reputations for the rest of their lives and will always be called unfilial people...
Liu Rong is Liu Fu's uncle.
Liu Fu is not a person from later generations, and he has no three views on the future generations.
In the laws of the Han Dynasty, the relatives were openly allowed to hide each other. As Liu Fu, no matter whether it was in love or law, he had to stand on Liu Rong's side, cover up for Liu Rong, and speak for Liu Rong. However, the current direct action of reversal undoubtedly requires great courage.
Even before Liu Fu was about to leave, he felt that no matter what the result of this trip was, he might not be able to end well, so he specially called Liu Gui and told Liu Gui everything about why he did this and what the main purpose was...
Because Liu Fu was optimistic about Liu Gui.
If Liu Gui can grow up and become the person in the future of the Liu family, then he may be able to help Liu Fu be more fair in the genealogy recording, leaving one or two good words so that he will not be smeared from the genealogy.
Liu is not Liu Rong alone.
The next morning, Liu Fu picked up a very ordinary pony car and then took a few servants to the road to Pingyang.
Hedong, compared with the surrounding Chang'an or Sili, seems so inconspicuous.
The humble one is like a stupid servant next to the young master.
Since ancient times, Hedong has not had the luck of Chang'an or Luoyang, and no one will choose to set his capital in Hedong...
But Hedong is unique.
The surrounding mountains blocked the severe cold in the north, and the rivers and Fen Rivers brought abundant irrigation. Thirty years later, the rivers and the rivers also brought fertile land. Even if it was a carp, it had the courage to jump over the dragon gate.
After Fei Qian took control of Hedong, under the demand and compromise of many aspects, Hedong has developed very well. In the past, some abandoned land, even some saline-alkali land, have been plowed and irrigated and become new farmland. Although the year has been somewhat ups and downs and the climate is uncertain in recent years, Hedong has only had the difference between a bumper harvest, a big bumper harvest or a small bumper harvest most of the time.
There are not only farmlands on both sides of the road, but also other crops are planted, and hemp, soybeans, and so on bring rich returns to Hedong. On Liu Fu's road, you can often hear some farmers weeding in groups of three or three, or pursing some utensils during the slack farming season. Some of them sit on the ridges of the fields and even sing simple folk songs...
And singing hard, it means that these farmers can probably eat a bowl of full rice during this period of time.
The peaches and plums on a peach mountain in Pingyang used to be scattered all over Hedong.
Although the road that Liu Fu took was a walkway, it was not worse than those Pingyang official roads. It was generally flat and could accommodate two vehicles in parallel. In addition, the ditches by the field were also arranged in a staggered manner, which would lead the river water here to irrigate the crops for people to use...
These things that farmers will not do spontaneously, are repaired by the Liu family.
The contribution of Liu Rong and his son to Jie County can reach the current level is not small. The local people are also very respectful to Liu Rong. If they see Liu Rong passing by, even the old farmer who is resting on the edge of the field will have to walk to the side of the road, salute respectfully to Liu Rong, and say "Mr. Liu"...
No one wants to slander Liu Rong's merits, but Liu Rong himself painted it on it.
The ability to develop smoothly and smoothly in Jie County, Hedong is a contribution to the Liu family, but it does not mean that all the contributions are from the Liu family.
Liu Fu and Jia Qu had a little connection. He understood that it was not only in Hedong, but also in many places under the cavalry. The prefects of the county and county have some support for the local area, including human and material support. Take those bachelors of agriculture and engineering for example. Could it be that Liu Rong alone made it?
What's more, this is Hedong, Jie County, or Liu County.
And even Liuxian, what can it be considered?
There are counties in Hedong that are called Pi directly, but are the people in Pi County now the Pi family that was the Pi family back then?
So what is Liu's ability? Where did Liu Rong get the courage? He actually thinks that he can call the wind and rain in Jie County to cover the sky with one hand? Where did he think that a 'Liu Gong' in Jie County can resist the entire world?
Perhaps, it was the sound of "Liu Gong" from the old farmer in the field that it expanded.
"Greed is always insufficient..." Liu Fu sighed softly.
Sima Yi's writing is just a warning.
It can be a light or heavy warning.
If you admit your mistake, then this warning may be very light...
And now, Liu Fu can only make the loss of Liu as light as possible.
『The heart of the people is the foundation.』 Liu Fu sighed again, 『The people who gave the farmers in Jie County a better life may have some of the strength of the Liu family, but what about outside Jie County? What about the world?』
A family goes from weak to powerful, not by dreaming.
Just talking about dreams every day, regardless of the actual situation, may mean that only dreams can be discussed.
Perhaps it was because Liu Rong himself felt that he could control everything, or perhaps it was because Liu Fu's movements were fast enough, so when Liu Fu arrived in Pingyang, he did not encounter any changes along the way, even Pingyang...
No, Pingyang has not changed on the surface, but after Liu Fu's careful observation, he saw many traces.
Prepare for traces of war.
The crossbows and arrows stacked on the city walls may be just higher than usual, with a layer more...
Not so conspicuous, but very important.
Liu Fu couldn't help but feel a little palpitations.
In Pingyang, will it be like the combat preparations on the city wall in Hedong? When he accidentally got three points but did not attract the attention of ordinary people?
When did it start?
Liu Fu couldn't even remember it.
"Liu Family in Jie County..." Liu Fu arrived at Pingyang Prefecture and handed over the name of the sect, "Come to pay homage to the chief..."
Unexpectedly, Sima Yi came out.
Sima Yi smiled, looked at Liu Fu, and extended his hand to invite him, "I never thought it was Brother Liu coming... Could it be that something happened in Jie County? It's okay, please come in... Xun Changshi was waiting in the hall..."
