Chapter 3228 People

In Chang'an, within the Three Auxiliary, local soldiers began to mobilize to participate in the war.

Most of these local soldiers are retired or have participated in certain basic training. They only need to strengthen their training to quickly adapt to the needs of war.

The military pay for this group of soldiers is the same as that of other ordinary soldiers, and they also enjoy the accumulated rewards for wartime merit.

During the mobilization and recruitment, there were even fighting in many places. In order to prove that they still have the ability to go to the battlefield, some people with good tempers on weekdays also compete with others with red faces and thick necks, so that they can have a place.

After all, the treatment of soldiers under the cavalry's retiring army has really made many people jealous.

Although some people with bad habits will spend their retirement homes in a short period of time, neither these people nor the people around them will think that this is the fault of the cavalry, because most of the veterans have more or less changed their original life trajectory and have a certain amount of property savings.

From nothing to something is the most difficult thing.

In the Han Dynasty and the feudal dynasty that followed for a long time, the more stable the people were, the less space they could change their own class. The reason why Fan Jin passed the imperial examination became a classic and Kong Yiji's long gown was because the society's fault tolerance rate was too low. In a feudal dynasty with very low fault tolerance rate, the children of the gentry could freely study and fail to start a business. However, as long as ordinary people took off their long gowns, their resumes in the academy would be immediately interrupted and become a piece of waste paper!

Therefore, even if Ding Juren's child is a scholar, he can get the position of county magistrate by filial piety and integrity, while Kong Yiji can only face his weak body under his long gown and understand what the feudal class is insurmountable and don't think about it.

The most critical reason why Fei Qian has gained the warm support of ordinary people in the military system is that Fei Qian allows ordinary people to see the future that can be touched, whether it is life or death.

This is similar to the pension system in later generations. It is an important means to maintain social stability and inspire the people to work hard.

After the Guanzhong Sanfu absorbed a large number of people for several consecutive years, some of them sent back information to their original hometowns. Therefore, in Shandong, Guanzhong Sanfu naturally had some "fame" among the people, which was particularly attractive to the poor people. In the past few years when the system in Shandong was not improved and the oppression was still fierce, even without war, many refugees who fled famine were still produced. The legendary Guanzhong Sanfu, who could have a full meal, became the first choice for these refugees.

This is also one of the reasons why Shandong is gradually dissatisfied with Fei Qian.

Strictly speaking, Shandong does not really support Cao Cao in winning Fei Qian, but they absolutely support maintaining the stability of Shandong's political structure and will remain unchanged for another three to five hundred years. If such a war can be used, it will not only restrict Fei Qian from continuing to promote the new policy to seduce people, but also make Cao Cao concentrate on the outside and not cause trouble to them internally, it will be the best of both worlds.

The enthusiasm of the people for this recruitment also caused some of the three auxiliary servants in Chang'an to shut up completely.

Moreover, in order not to hinder spring plowing, Xun You also specially controlled the number of people who came to register and conducted a certain screening. After all, this spring is not very friendly. Although Chang'an has experience in dealing with the late spring cold, some of the land still suffered disasters.

Zao Zhi was also busy taking the agricultural scholars to check the plowing conditions in Sanfu, Chang'an, so that the ploughed fields that were affected by disasters would be replanted in time, such as sorghum. Although sorghum is less delicious than millet and wheat, and the yield is also lower, it is also a bit of grain.

At the same time, due to the recurrence of late spring cold, both residential and greenhouses require a large number of bricks and tiles, which has led to a continuous increase in the demand for bricks and tiles. There has been almost no stoppage of the brick making workshop at the foot of the Qinling Mountains.

And these workers who have got rid of agricultural restrictions also have higher consumption capacity than the agricultural population.

Furniture, clothing, food and other industries that serve workers' needs are also booming.

This made a very strange phenomenon that the three servants of Chang'an were incomprehensible to those traditional gentry. They were obviously fighting in Tongguan, but they did not seem to be affected by the war in Chang'an...

This is indeed surprising and difficult to understand.

Wei Kang, a idle man in Chang'an, looked at the elderly man standing on the stage with a little stunned, raising his arms and shouting, wearing ordinary soldiers' armor...

This man in armor was obviously a little old, and he had exceeded the limit of being able to fight.

After all, not everyone is Lian Po.

However, in addition to fighting on the battlefield, there are actually some jobs suitable for this type of people who have battlefield experience and loyally support Fei Qian...

The old man yelled in his hoarse voice, "Victory belongs to the great man! belongs to the cavalry!"

A group of veterans who signed up for the recruitment also raised their arms and shouted, "Victory belongs to the great man! belongs to the cavalry!"

Emotions are infected. After several consecutive shouts, even the people passing by nearby joined the response queue, and the scene was suddenly very lively.

"Who gave us the battle robe?!"

"It's the cavalry!"

"Who gave us military pay?!"

"It's the cavalry!!"

"Who gave us victory?!"

"Cabin!Cabin!!"

"Charles! Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories! Cavalry!"

『Oh oh oh oh…』

Wei Kang looked at them with a complicated expression again.

He was just out for a walk today. After all, he had been stuck at home for a long time, but he didn't expect that he had just come out and saw a scene that made him feel more and more confused.

To be honest, Wei Kang is now cautious and cautious in his words and actions. He can't keep my dad Wei Duan talking every day. Is it comfortable and happy?

Obviously impossible.

But in such an atmosphere in front of him, Wei Kang could only close his mouth tightly and didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He was afraid that if something inappropriate would pop up from his mouth, he would be beaten directly by these fanatical guys and could not take care of himself...

Like his younger brother.

It was not until Wei Kang walked silently and looked back at the noisy stage and crowded that Wei Kang slowly breathed out with some difficulty.

He is too difficult.

There are many people who are as difficult as Wei Kang. He is just a microcosm of the original gentry's children among the Three Guards of Chang'an for a period of time. Wei Kang's discomfort was because Wei Kang did not want to change.

This is not the same as a pure "take off" long gown.

After all, if you want to "take off", you must first get rid of it.

Fei Qian is still very tolerant of people like Wei Kang. He did not stand at a high place to sarcastically, nor did he say that he would not be able to seize the opportunity to earn 9,000 a day. Instead, he provided another long gown. Unfortunately, Wei Kang was reluctant to change it.

After all, this is the case in the entire Han Dynasty. There are still very few people who can wear long gowns. It is not like the later Ming and Qing dynasties, when long gowns became the emperor's new clothes. I thought I had to wear them, but in fact there was not, so there was no question of whether to take them off.

Of course, there are also some children of the gentry who are like Du Ji, adapting to the changes in the new era and joining them.

As for the people of the Han Dynasty, they were confused followers for more time and did not know about political changes or institutional changes. They only knew more about whether the firewood they ate, wore, and burned every day was cheaper or more expensive or worse...

"It's all the weird jujubes..."

Wei Kang looked at it from a distance and muttered in a low voice.

The Wei family advocates tradition, so their industries are naturally related to traditional agriculture. However, Zaozhi played a great role in the agricultural development of Guanzhong Sanfu, which caused the yield of Wei and families like Wei, which suck blood and make money in agriculture, to significantly reduce.

When the people have more food, they have free time to think about this and that, and their resentment is easier to be comforted. Therefore, when veterans shout at the stage, so many people will follow them. Otherwise, they will be empty and hungry, so how can they have the time and energy to yell slogans? It also makes people want to incite these three auxiliary people to the people, but in the end, no one listens at all, or they are beaten up directly.

The world is difficult!

Wei Kang was filled with emotion.

You should know that in the past, when the spring plowing is not enough, it is the happiest time for Wei and his friends. At this time, there will be a large number of farmers who have to come to Wei and borrow money because they have no savings. They also have to thank Wei and Wei. After all, only the great charity will be willing to lend money to them.

The loans of the great charity are not only convenient for borrowing, but also have a long repayment period. It is no problem to pay for twenty or thirty years. It is best to empty the people’s eight wallets so that they can repay the loan for generations...

Although the Han Dynasty would charge loan taxes for lending, there were policies and countermeasures at the top. Even if Emperor Jing of Han and others taxed these lenders in a short period of time, they would do whatever they should do after a gust of wind.

Unfortunately, such a wonderful thing was actually destroyed by Fei Qian and Zao Zhi.

Wei Kang didn’t dare to scold Fei Qian, but wasn’t he just scolding Zao Zhi?

The scolding Zaozhi destroyed the thousand-year inheritance of China and smoothed out the efforts of the Han Dynasty for three to four hundred years.

Of course, not all the children of the gentry in the Han Dynasty were greedy, but the vast majority of the old gentry, especially the gentry gentry who relied on land, would inevitably embark on this path of blood-sucking when they grew stronger.

Wei Kang had no intention of wandering around and went home and sat in the hall, like a rotten statue. After the colors of the past were removed, what was revealed was nothing more than mud embryo and rotten wood.

Wei Duan walked in and saw Wei Kang looking demented, so he was so angry that he was so angry. "Sir! Why are you doing ugly again?"

He couldn't blame Wei Duan for getting angry. Now that Wei's family has fallen to such a level, it is closely related to Wei Kang.

Wei Duan even sacrificed his black hat, so he barely protected Wei Kang. When he sacrificed his sacrifice, he saw that Wei Kang had not made much progress, so he naturally felt uncomfortable. In fact, Wei Kang was not completely unrest. At least now he dared not shout in the street that my dad was Wei Duan, but obviously such progress did not make Wei Duan feel relieved.

『Master Father…』 Wei Kang hurriedly saluted Wei Duan, 『A child… I went to the market and saw that there were many cavalrymen… This, this cavalry… Now the people only heard of the cavalry and did not say the favor of the emperor. This, this... I am afraid it is...』

"Shut up!" Wei Duan said viciously, then he stretched his head and looked around in panic, and found that no one noticed this, so he breathed out. "You dare to lie with such words? Do you still want to harm your father?"

Wei Kang widened his eyes, "This is at home..."

Halfway through, Wei Kang looked at Wei Duan's face and was suddenly startled. He also changed his expression. He couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "No, no... Everyone in the family has had children for many years..."

Seeing that Wei Kang understood, Wei Duan looked a little better, so he sat aside and said, "There is Wen Si..."

"How is this possible? Impossible!" Wei Kang looked around in horror, as if a thief who was trying to assassinate him would appear around him at any time, murmured, "How is it possible? We... our family... father, how do you know this... this matter?"

Wei Duan looked at the sky and said for a while: "Two days ago, I heard that there was an official in the Yinzhong of Chang'an who was dismissed for privately insulting the cavalry... This boy was rude and rude, and he was also punished by his own fault... But I heard that he was laughing at the cavalry when he was having a banquet with relatives and friends..."

"Was it reported by the guests?" Wei Kang whispered.

"Not necessarily." Wei Duan shook his head, "There are people who are studying in the Wenshu... Some people say that he beat his family's entourage a few days ago, and his entourage came out with a grudge..."

"This..." Wei Kang suddenly remembered that he actually beat and scolded his servants at will.

The father and son sat there for a while, and couldn't help but feel sad.

Why is this world so difficult?

After a while, Wei Kang whispered: "My father...we...will be...the next thing...if there is no entry again, I will be able to eat up the whole country..."

Wesleuth has not earned additional income for a long time.

Weishi has a lot of land, but whether in feudal society or in the capitalist era, the native value of agricultural products was not high, and it needed additional production to have higher value. Therefore, after returning to the landlord industry, the Weishi family's income has dropped by more than 100 million points compared to before in the current environment of the Sanfu of Guanzhong...

To maintain the dignity of a gentry, various expenses are indispensable. For example, the servants in the family perform their duties. If a horse-raising servant works part-time to wash clothes in the ditch, even if the servant can do it well, he will be laughed at by other gentry members and become jokes after dinner. Perhaps they will be mentioned in more than ten years.

Therefore, what Wei Duan could think of was to reduce some expenses as much as possible. When the year was good, the bonuses and holiday allowances were paid to the servants. Now they naturally disappeared, and they would also use various excuses from time to time, such as being late and leaving early, etc., etc.

In this way, the servants in the family naturally had complaints, and Wei Duan also felt more unsafe. What's more important is that they felt more or less that if they continued like this, the Wei family would be over! Or they would slowly lose little by little, or be implicated and defeated in a certain storm, just like the minor official of Chang'an Yin.

Before, Wei Duan carefully maintained the consistency with Fei Qian Pangtong as much as possible on the surface, but it did not mean that he recognized the new policy implemented by Fei Qian Pangtong in his heart.

In Wei Duan's plan, a battle like Fei Qian and Cao Cao would inevitably consume a lot. If Fei Qian loses a lot of money, grain and manpower, if he loses, then Wei will immediately take the blame and completely repay all his previous resentment ten times. If Fei Qian wins, then Fei Qian, who consumes a lot of money, grain and manpower, must also find an old landlord like Wei, so that Wei Duan can unite everyone and talk to Fei Qian with money, grain and manpower...

After all, during the Battle of the Western Qiang that year, Emperor Ling of Han sold even three dukes to maintain military expenditures.

But the problem is that Wei Duan never figured out how Fei Qian could hold on, and he seemed to have enough energy to do so now, so he didn't need to rely on these "saviors" from the original Guanzhong Sanfu!

Where did Feiqian get the money and food?!

Emperor Ling of Han could not get all the strength of the whole country, so what is Fei Qian's virtue?

Now, Wei Duan is very embarrassed. If the food and grass stored in the granaries continue to be stored, the price will be worse than that of a year. Once it cannot be a bargaining chip for controlling Fei Qian, then these food and grass will have almost no value, or there is no additional value at all. You can only use ordinary agricultural product sales channels, which will be a huge loss. If you deliberately engage in hunger marketing and deliberately raise the price, then Wen Si is staring at you, afraid that it will be a stolen money?

The left is not right, the right is not right, Wei Duan is so worried!

"My father, I heard that... Pang Shiyuan and the young master are not in Chang'an..." Wei Kang suddenly whispered, "If there is something... will the price of grain rise?"

Wei Kang also knew the current situation of Wei's family and what Wei Duan was worried about.

Wei Duan's heart was thrilled, "What do you want to do?"

The previous shadow remains in Wei Duan's heart.

If he was asked to follow the trend, he could do it secretly, but if he wanted to jump out again, he really didn't have much courage.

Of course, this may be because Wei Duan now has no bargaining chips in his hands.

"No, my father..." Wei Kang got closer, "I just wanted to say... find an excuse to sell the grain we stocked up in our family... It's not illegal to sell the grain? If we can't sell the grain now, we might just throw it into our hands! At that time... Now, the young master Pang Lingjun has taken away many people, and some places may not be able to take care of them..."

『Selling grain?』 Wei Duan pondered, 『Selling grain naturally has nothing to do...but how to sell it?"

The economic pressure also forced Wei Duan to carefully consider Wei Kang's proposal.

Indeed, if we don’t take advantage of the current war and the price of grain is still quite low and find a good opportunity to sell it, will it really be time to wait until the war is over and the autumn harvest of grain and grass is low before selling it?

『Master Father…』 Wei Kang remembered the scene he had seen on the street before, showed some sarcastic smiles, and told Wei Duan, "The people can be used to do it, but not to know it. Since the cavalry can encourage public opinion, why can't we do it?"

Wei Duan squinted his eyes, "You mean..."
