Chen Ji was indeed exerting his residual energy, but it was completely different from what Huangfu Song said at the time about wishing to die outside. In Chen Ji's words, he would have to be sick to think about dying outside. He was not
As a military general, his ability is more for managing the rear. There is nothing wrong with Huangfusong guessing his own ideas, but it is wrong to follow the template of a military general.
"It's not good for you to say that. If I were a little fox, the old Chen family would become Qingqiu Mountain." Chen Xi said with a smile, but did not take Chen Ji's words seriously.
They are all foxes that have been around for thousands of years. What kind of story is this? And if they are all foxes, Chen Xi may still be considered a fox of the Tushan family. Although the rest of the Chen family cannot be considered a Su family, they are probably pure
Fox, at least Chen Xi is fair enough.
"Hahaha, Qingqiu Mountain is great. Creatures like foxes are smart, and those with nine tails are even more auspicious. What's wrong?" Chen Ji said with a smile, reaching out and pulling out a wooden box from the side and throwing it to Chen Xi, "
I generally know what you want, so I’ll give it to you.”
"Well, as expected, you have already prepared it." Chen Xi opened the wooden box, looked at the brocade book inside, and sighed, "Don't you think you are tired from playing like this?"
"Then if you don't want to play like this, why are you playing? Isn't it boring?" Chen Ji asked, "It's not you, let alone this era. You can't get out, so you can only suppress it internally."
"Next, I will take over all these causes and effects. The old Chen family may take the blame. Please bear with it." Chen Xi looked at the directory. Even Jia Xu and Li You couldn't get this kind of thing together. Only Chen
Only guys like Chen Ji who are members of the group can exist, and only guys like Chen Ji who have the power to sort out the entire country's personnel can sort it out.
"Who gave you the surname Chen? Besides, isn't it normal for our old Chen family to take the blame?" Chen Ji said calmly. Anyway, there is enough black material. It doesn't matter how much more there is. Others can really do it.
Chen Xi is still pressing on it.
"Actually, I don't think you need to continue doing this now." After hesitating for a few moments, Chen Ji hinted, changing the subject.
"It's enough to finish this batch. The major aristocratic families are too worried. If they are allowed to use various means to migrate, they will have to evacuate one-third of the country's population." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "
It’s gone too far, so it’s time to restrain yourself.”
The aristocratic family and the Han Dynasty were too closely integrated. To put it too harshly, during the entire Three Kingdoms period, there were only two people who could truly be said to have commoner origins, with recorded names and surnames. The others, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, were actually minors.
Landlord origin.
Practicing martial arts requires eating enough, and practicing well requires eating meat. But in that era, ordinary people even had problems eating, let alone eating meat.
This is to replace the route of the school, which does not require high family wealth, with the cultivation method of the six arts of a true gentleman. Even small landowners cannot afford it. Therefore, there are no civil servants and ordinary people in the true sense. Even the so-called poor families have unfavorable qualifications.
God, or I met the right teacher.
Therefore, even now, more than 70% of the official positions in the Han Dynasty are still monopolized by aristocratic families. This is because Chen Xi has transferred a lot of middle and lower-level generals and outstanding civilian students over the years. Otherwise, this proportion would be higher.
This is also the reason why many things cannot be checked. Just like Wei's previous check on the source of supplies, they were able to find out that the supplies were Han Dynasty, but there were too many people changing hands. They were constantly being distributed and changed hands, and most of them were normal.
For trade, what is finally delivered are finished products from different places and brought together by different trade networks.
This kind of thing is actually impossible for ordinary people, so Wei can use his brain to target the five wealthy businessmen and officials, but targeting them has no meaning and cannot solve any problems.
Because there is no way to check, the Wu family bought things from the Wei family through distribution and resale until they were laid to rest. Can you be sure whether it was done by the Wu family or someone else?
If you think about it more deeply, couldn't these weapons and equipment be resold by Wei himself through the trading network? Even this possibility is more realistic, and it is easier to hide it from Wei Xiang. Make two preparations and place two chess pieces.
Isn’t it possible to have one yin and one yang?
Therefore, there is no way to check. We can only focus on the five wealthy businessmen and the official. But who exactly is it? Unless the other party clearly exchanges the covenant, otherwise, the previous exchanges cannot be believed. Wu's thinking is too simple. Before signing
Before the covenant, the Wei family actually still couldn't believe it.
The same is true for what Chen Xi is facing now. He knows which families are stealing people from the Central Plains. Even if Chen Ji is so quick to take out the things and hand them over to Chen Xi, the Chen family lets Yuan take the blame while he steals people secretly.
It's not like things didn't happen.
These old guys are not good people. Chen Xi's coming here just means that I can't stand it anymore. If you continue to mess around, I will really deal with you.
Migrating westward is a very complicated journey, but the methods of the major aristocratic families have accomplished this impossible task so well that even if Chen Xi had estimated it before, he never expected that these guys could do this.
equal degree.
Burning land deed documents is the first step to win people's hearts, and then when the hearts of the people in your sphere of influence are shaken, you can encourage them to create a better life with you, and even secretly bribe those virtuous and rural elders to trick these people into going on the road.
After that, it was simple. The carriage and horse shop bought carriages and horses, took them from the local county road, and sent them all the way to Chang'an. They spent a few days eating, drinking and having fun in Chang'an, so that these people could feel what a new era and new happiness are, and let the people who had never seen the world know it.
Ordinary people who have moved away from their hometowns are just like this. Traveling is still a very happy feeling.
In this way, these people naturally had no resistance. Then they took the time to drive northwest, rushed all the way out of Yumen Pass, and then headed towards the Western Regions. They got off the car and started walking to adjust. At this time, even if the people realized that they had been fooled, there was no way.
Going back.
He could only give in half-heartedly, cursed and followed the major aristocratic families as they continued westward.
Chen Xi agreed with this process, and it was precisely because of this method that the Han people who were almost impossible to leave their homeland were kidnapped on the imperial carriage and started the Western Expedition, which also made the seeds of Han culture go crazy.
Spread across the entire Eurasian continent.
It can be said that this is the method that Chen Xi has always agreed with before, but now Chen Xi has discovered a problem. After the major families moved the people who were willing to follow them in their own sphere of influence, they began to deceive the people in other places, and many officials were very concerned about this.
Open the door of convenience.
Chen Xi didn't realize why at first. Later, when he came to inspect in person, he finally understood that these officials were actually the underlings of major aristocratic families. They were essentially working for their own families, so of course they worked hard.
What's more important is that it is difficult for Chen Xi to control this kind of thing, and it is actually difficult to restrain it. With a decree, it is very likely that the two sides will directly confront each other. It is better to be simple, get the list directly, and then have a good talk, too
It's not good to be greedy.
"The biggest ones are those ten things, right?" Chen Xi glanced at Jinshu briefly, then raised his head and asked Chen Ji.
"But even if you know those ten things, there's nothing you can do about it, right?" Chen Ji stroked his beard and smiled proudly, "These are actually very despicable methods, but face cannot be used as food. All major aristocratic families
It’s shameless to think that you want to save face now and lose face in the future.”
"You know what you are doing!" Chen Xi said angrily, "Well, I can pretend that I didn't see your arrangements in Anxi, but don't go too far. I will adjust a group of official positions next.
If you continue to be as unscrupulous as before, don't blame me. Although you all rely on your own methods, I still want to save face."
"Okay, okay, your face, Chen Zichuan, is the most valuable." Chen Ji scolded with a smile.
Chen Ji knows very well which families are currently transferring people within the Han Dynasty, but on the one hand there is no way to check these families, and on the other hand there is no point in checking them. These people are really voluntary, and the major families have actually arrested them.
Chen Xi's weakness is that if people really do something voluntarily, Chen Xi won't really care about it unless there is something really wrong.
But is it wrong to move westward? No, in comparison, the current living standards in the Central Plains are not much different from the lives of the people who moved westward.
After all, the general living standards of a person with 50 acres of land and a person with 500 acres of land are not very different. After all, many food, drink, and entertainment things, in the end, the comparison is not the food, drink, and entertainment itself, but the style.
The one at the back is the big head.
Coupled with Chen Xi's adjustment of the social environment, there will not be a big difference in material conditions between moving westward and living in the Central Plains.
If we really want to talk about the gap, we can only say that those people who move westward will have more advantages in the promotion path in the future. After all, the major families are not fools. They can still distinguish between foreigners and their own clan, given that everyone has similar abilities.
, why choose foreigners?
Therefore, the people who move westward in the future are more likely to succeed than those in the Central Plains. Chen Xi has nothing to say about this. After all, the people who move westward also took risks, although these risks were lower in Chen Xi's history.
It doesn't seem that big, but in the eyes of ordinary people in this era, it is really huge.
"As for the Chen family, please stop causing trouble in the Western Regions and Anxi. I will turn a blind eye. That fool Sima Boda will provide you with a protective umbrella. Stop it." Chen Xi sighed and said, the hardest thing is
These guys are the ones in charge, just follow the line.
"No. If that's the case, where can we put the people our family has managed to absorb?" Chen Ji pretended to be confused, "It's not the right time for Beigui now."
