Chapter 1140 Marriage(1/3)
When Ji Han was trapped in Shu, Prime Minister Zhuge wished he could break one coin into two and spend it.
They were fighting Soochow, suppressing the powerful, and promoting water conservancy. From the Dujiang Weir in Jincheng to the Shanhe Weir in Hanzhong, they were afraid of not having enough food.
If you catch a country bumpkin, you'll be trying to get rid of it.
In order to continue to gather, even special zones can be opened for locals.
I almost made a certain country bastard bald.
Looking back on the past and lamenting the present, who could have imagined at that time that a big man would be so rich one day?
Zhuge Changshi took office in a light carriage, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he brought some local specialties from South China to everyone to try.
Doesn’t matter whether you are from the Taiyuan Wang family or the Guo family?
Sweet or not?
Just asking you if it’s sweet or not!
Just say it's not sweet if you're brave enough!
Even in the industrial information age, this thing is an important national strategic material.
In the Three Kingdoms era, which was still a semi-slave society, who dares to say that it is not sweet?
What does it mean to be wealthy? This is called wealthy.
Originally, the wealthy families in Bingzhou thought it was a bit of a fuss to have them come to greet Bingzhou Governor Shi.
When the governor of Bingzhou comes over, it makes sense for us to come and greet him.
Now, just a long history came here and asked us to come over?
Do you really think we have no face?
But
But face can’t be eaten as food, right?
But sugar is really more delicious than rice.
So when Zhuge Changshi brought out some local specialties from South China for everyone to try, the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became much more lively.
As the heads of the Taiyuan clan, the Wang and Guo families, contrary to their initial reserve, stood up in person to toast Zhuge Changshi.
Zhuge Changshi naturally refused to accept anyone who came.
He watched with a smile as everyone became happier as they drank, and the smiles on their faces grew wider.
From the beginning when your Excellency led the Northern Expedition, this method was used by Adi against Longyou:
Dividends on one hand, violence on the other.
Those who obey will be given bonuses, and those who are disobedient will be given violence.
This is still a good method until now when we have regained Bingzhou and Hedong in Guanzhong.
It's simple, it's cliché, but it works.
Dividends are not free. If you get benefits, you must be obedient.
Zhuge Changshi did not understand what it means that the economic base determines the superstructure.
But he knew that these dividends were actually the influence of the imperial court, or the control of the local area and the disintegration of the local big family's alliance.
If someone takes the bonus but is disobedient, the court will pull the strings.
You have to do whatever these strings want you to do.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people have extraordinary vision and can see the consequences of taking these bonuses.
But so what?
The bustle in the world is all for benefit; the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit.
Unless you can make bigger dividends, even if you are from the same race, there will be people who will push you over if you don't want to, but some people will.
As the saying goes, paint the ground to make cakes, but don't eat them.
If the slogans are louder, can they be eaten?
Cang Tou Qian Capital knows how to buy as much as possible one-third of an acre of land for his family.
Otherwise, how can we let the family eat more food?
This banquet lasted until the sky started to get dark, and then the host and guests left happily.
After walking out of the Governor's Mansion, Guo got on the carriage. The carriage reached a dark corner of the street and suddenly stopped again.
But I saw Guo Pei lift the car curtain, get out of the car, and stand there quietly.
After a while, the Wang family's carriage appeared behind and stopped.
Guo Pei walked over and got into the Wang family's car. The two carriages, one in front and one behind, began to rumble forward again.
After the initial silence in the car, Guo Peixing opened his mouth and asked:
"What do you think?"
Wang Chen looked a little complicated and replied: "I think he wants to imitate the old things in Liangzhou."
Hearing this, Guo Pei was a little impatient:
"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about, what is your Wang family's plan?"
Wang Chen looked at the other party strangely:
"For such a big good thing, naturally you can take as much as you can. Will it be extended to others?"
Guo Pei was startled and seemed a little surprised by Wang Chen's logic. He reminded:
"Don't forget, our Wang and Guo family have put a lot of effort into Wei."
Whether it is Wang Ling or Guo Huai, their positions in the military are not low.
In Guo Pei's view, no matter how enthusiastic the banquet was, it was just a show of force.
When it comes to the fate of the clan, how can it be decided so easily?
It's normal to be thoughtful and considerate.
Wang Chen breathed out the smell of alcohol and leaned against the wall of the carriage:
"I have not forgotten. It is precisely because I have not forgotten that I decided to participate in the sale."
After the Wang family experienced the Chang'an Rebellion, all the main members of the family lost their lives, which can be said to be a serious loss of vitality.
The current persons in charge of the Wang family are two brothers, Wang Chen and Wang Ling.
Wang Lingyuan was in Yangzhou, and Wang Chen was the talker in the Wang family's hometown in Taiyuan.
The decisions he made can represent Wang's opinions to a considerable extent.
But Guo is different.
Even when the Hu people plundered Taiyuan and Hedong, the Guo family, as a local powerful family, built a stronghold to protect themselves and did not suffer much harm.
Therefore, Guo Pei cannot make decisions on such important matters alone.
Wang Chen seemed to notice Guo Pei's hesitation and said in a cold tone:
"I remember that seven or eight years ago, when Emperor Ping of Wei (i.e. Cao Rui) was still here, there was a Guo nobleman in the palace. He was very favored by Emperor Ping. He was from the Guo family in Xiping."
Having said this, Wang Chen glanced at Guo Pei with deep meaning.
"Although the Xiping Guo family is not as good as the Taiyuan Guo family, they can still be considered a local wealthy family."
"When the Han Dynasty established Xiping County, it did not take action against the Guo family in Xiping, but during the Battle of Xiaoguan, the Guo family wanted to raise troops to respond to Cao Zhen. Was it the end?"
Wang Chen continued.
In the end, of course, they were exterminated.
I heard that the man who led the army to exterminate his clan is now in Bingzhou. His surname is Liu, his given name is Hun, and his given name is Polu.
"Over the years, our Wang family has regained some of its vitality, but it cannot compare to the prosperity of your Guo family."
Wang Chen sighed, "It's not that I don't know that it's hard to take the benefits given by the government. But if you don't take them, it means that you and others are not of the same mind."
Running a family is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
The territory of Taiyuan is just that big.
If you don’t take it, someone else will. Then the pressure will not only come from the government, but also from other people, and even from the same clan.
Guo Pei frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable:
"Why are the officials of the Han Dynasty acting like this in this period? Not to mention the Wei state, even compared with the later Han Dynasty, they are very different."
In the past, without the cooperation of the local government and the big clans like them, it would have been impossible to spread the word not only to the countryside, but also to the city.
How could the current Ji Han government dare to force them to act?
How arrogant!
