The two sons looked at each other and cupped their hands.
I have admired you for a long time, but I have lost respect and lost respect.
The two exchanged a meaningless polite conversation.
Fei Qian smiled slightly and stood aside without commenting.
Fei Qian's attitude towards the characters of the Three Kingdoms is constantly changing with the improvement of his knowledge.
At the very beginning, Fei Qian's self-awareness was actually very small. After all, his original identity was just a bastard, an extremely ordinary company clerk. At work, any boss could take advantage of him.
He, in the family, his status is lower than that of a dog.
When such people see the legendary figures of the Three Kingdoms, they will naturally be a little excited, just like ordinary people seeing celebrities. As for the keyboard warrior, he is naturally fearless, and of course he looks down on Fei Qian's cautious appearance.
Later, as time went by, Fei Qian also woke up from blind worship, or experiential trust, and understood that these people in the Three Kingdoms were not simply a symbol, or a fixed template.
They also have emotions, make mistakes, shit, fart, say bad words, and curse when they get anxious. It’s not like they have all their stats and all their skills as soon as they appear on the scene, and they can do something big at any time...
Until now...
First Ma Yue, then Lu Su, finally made Fei Qian's attitude towards the characters of the Three Kingdoms move in a more mature and stable direction.
These Three Kingdoms figures are, first of all, a person!
It’s not just a name or a symbol!
People have seven emotions and six desires!
What are Lu Su's "Seven Emotions and Six Desires"?
History only explains the friendship between Lu Su and Zhou Yu, and the relationship between him and Sun Quan, but in fact, the friendship between Lu Su and Zhou Yu is really unbreakable, and love is more valuable than gold?
Obviously not entirely.
The relationship is good because the interests of Lu Su and Zhou Yu do not conflict much, and in a certain way, Zhou Yu is Lu Su's recommender...
However, what is interesting is that since Zhou Yu had already abducted Lu Su during the period of Sun Ce, why did Lu Su really enter the Jiangdong political ecological circle during the period of Sun Quan?
It could be said that Sun Ce and Lu Su were not compatible with each other, but Fei Qian believed that it was because Sun Ce and Lu Su could not get along.
For Sun Ce, maybe Sun Ce did not want to stay in Jiangdong for a long time at that time. He may have wanted to join the competition in the Central Plains, at least to return to the Jianghuai area to develop and grow first, so he was very rude to the Jiangdong nobles. This later Sun Ce
It was also slightly revealed in his last words that he was not very optimistic about Sun Quan, and even told Sun Quan to leave if he couldn't do it...
But Sun Quan was different.
Sun Quan's goal, everything, was to preserve Jiangdong's foundation. Especially when almost everyone was not optimistic about Sun Quan at that time, Lu Su appeared. Lu Su confirmed that Sun Quan had the status of a "great emperor" and dedicated his life to him.
Jiangdong is the foundation, and Jiangbei is coveted, looking for opportunities to dominate the Central Plains.
Although this grand strategy seemed a bit nonsense in the later stage, it undoubtedly gave Sun Quan a shot in the arm at the time!
Therefore, Sun Quan and Lu Su truly became in harmony...
Therefore, historically, when Lu Su arrived in Jiangdong, he was not reused during the period of Sun Ce and was unknown. It was during the period of Sun Quan that he really came to prominence during the Battle of Chibi and became an important advisor and think tank!
But now, with the Battle of Chibi gone, Lu Su's importance in Jiangdong is not as high as it was in history.
This was one of the reasons why Fei Qian thought he had a chance to bring Lu Su over. However, after actually meeting Lu Su, and under Lu Su's respectful but distant words, Fei Qian realized that he was a little self-righteous, and Lu Su didn't
I would love to come to Guanzhong.
Fei Qian even thought about using Zhou Yu's illness to blackmail Lu Su, but after careful consideration, Fei Qian also gave up this idea. Firstly, it was somewhat despicable to do so, and secondly, because of the friendship between Lu Su and Zhou Yu,
Can they really be as close as the three Liu Bei brothers?
Obviously not.
If Zhou Yu and Lu Su really had such a close relationship that they were like brothers, then Lu Su should have been in power during Sun Ce's time, and did not have to wait until Sun Quan's time to gain room for promotion.
Therefore, Lu Su and Zhou Yu should be close friends, with no conflicting interests, and related entities that can cooperate with each other to a certain extent, but they are definitely not brothers of life and death. Using Zhou Yu to blackmail Lu Su will obviously not succeed.
So, how to meet Lu Su’s needs in other ways?
After thinking about it, Fei Qian felt that it was inappropriate.
It is true that Fei Qian could give Lu Su a very high salary that exceeded Jiangdong's level, but that would be inappropriate.
Fame and ability are no longer the focus of Fei Qian's attention to the characters of the Three Kingdoms!
What Fei Qian needs now is "suitability"!
Or you can use a more gamified term called "Xianxing".
I have to thank Ma Yue for this.
It was Ma Yue who sounded the alarm for Fei Qian, allowing Fei Qian to wake up from the joy and pride of defeating Cao Cao.
Ma Yue is more senior, but seniority does not mean that he will think in the same way as Fei Qian!
So, how many more "Ma Yue" will appear?
Can introducing new talents change and solve this problem?
It's not bad to introduce talents, but if you just introduce them without any ideas or plans, problems will definitely arise.
Fei Qian remembered that in later generations of companies, they were clamoring to bring in talents almost every year, treating the original old employees as cattle and horses. As soon as new employees came in, their wages could be higher than those of old employees, and then they even called it the catfish effect.
, but in fact there are widespread complaints. Whether there can be a catfish effect depends on the specific situation of the old employees, rather than just throwing catfish into the water.
Starting from the second emperor Huan Ling, due to the nearly two hundred years of peaceful and prosperous life, Shandong's large and small landowners and nobles gradually tended to indulge in indulgence and indulgence, until it reached a new height in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and collective eating of Wu Shi San was regarded as a crime.
Elegant affairs, a group of people dancing naked and going crazy in the city are all romantic, and what they want is freedom and unrestrainedness.
In such an environment, although the family, country and world are talked about by celebrities, not many actually do practical things...
Many famous people in Jiangdong and Shandong are like this. How many of Lu Su have this habit?
Fei Qian is unknown, but we can observe further.
Fei Qian brought Lu Su here just for this reason.
Lu Su Lu Zijing, Zao Zhi Zao Zi Jing.
Both men's names are Zijing, but they do different things.
Fei Qian didn't know whether Lu Su was respected by thousands of people and supported by the people in Jiangdong, but in Guanzhong, Zaozhi's reputation in the fields was even more popular than Fei Qian's hussar!
Ordinary people respect Fei Qian, but for Zao Zhi, they are grateful from the bottom of their hearts!
Because the agricultural and water conservancy matters in Guanzhong were almost handled by Zao Du alone, including animal husbandry and forestry. After all, the "farming and mulberry" of the Han Dynasty were all considered together, and they were not divided in such detail.
Almost every year after the autumn harvest, some old people in the countryside would deliberately walk ten miles and eight miles with some agricultural products and deliver them to Zao Zhi's home.
Maybe it's just some corn, maybe it's just some wild fruits, neither of which are very valuable, but it's like this every year, when it's delivered, I kowtow, put it down and leave.
Fei Qian laughed and said that this was because people worshiped jujube as a god...
For the people in Guanzhong, Fei Qian was too far away, untouchable, and difficult to contact, while Zao Zheng was the official they saw most often, and who helped them truly become rich in life!
When an official truly works for the people, takes the people's sufferings into consideration, and works hard to solve them, the people will naturally support him, and there is no need for officials to scream on stage.
What Feiqian needs are officials who really do things, not officials who just work hard and shout slogans.
As the saying goes, if you have not experienced it, it is not experienced.
After the Ma Yue incident, the collision of ideas with Lu Su's arrival, coupled with Fei Qian's self-reflection, finally made Fei Qian's attitude and concept towards talents more complete and mature.
Everything is natural, just like it comes naturally.
"Zijing, why are you wearing so little?" After the two Zijings exchanged brief greetings, Fei Qian stepped forward and took Zao Zhi's hand. He felt that Zao Zhi's hand was a little cold, so he naturally took off his fur. It covered Zao Zhi's body, not caring about the mud and dirt on Zao Zhi's hands.
"I just moved around a little bit, and I don't feel very cold..." Zao just smiled and said, not particularly excited because of Fei Qian's actions of taking off his clothes and pushing food, "Why are you here, my lord?"
"I heard that you are repairing here, so I came to see...how the repair of the canal is progressing..." Fei Qian asked.
Zao just stood on the earth mountain and pointed with his finger, "The section over there near Baiqu has been almost completed. Now we need to rush to work on this section..."
Fei Qian listened and watched, nodding from time to time, "Where's the hot soup? There should also be a fire under the ditch to keep warm... Be sure to prepare enough firewood and coal."
"They are all there." Zao simply said, "Two or three cars just came here a few days ago, over there..."
"Where are the grasshoppers? Are there many frostbites?" Fei Qian asked again.
"It's okay. Slight frostbite is inevitable... I will rotate every hour and go back to the earthen house to warm myself by the fire and drink hot soup..."
"You also need to wear thicker clothes...is that fur you used to wear?"
"I accidentally got water on it and I was baking..."
"Then you should wear this one first..."
Lu Su stood aside, watching the interaction between Fei Qian and Zao Zhi. He didn't know why, but suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Lu Su subconsciously turned his attention to Zheng Guoqu in the distance.
The winter in Guanzhong is already quite cold, but the Zhengguo Canal ahead is still very hot.
The Han Dynasty did not have a strict safety management system for water canal repairs, so on-site scheduling and arrangements were very important. Once there were officials who only wanted to gain political achievements regardless of everything else, then a large number of deaths and injuries from hard labor would inevitably occur...
Lu Su looked slowly, but did not see any labor casualties.
Items such as stones and wood are piled on one side of the ditch in categories.
The transportation vehicles and people have trampled a road into the land beside the canal.
On the other side of the canal, some temporary sheds were erected, and steaming smoke was rising.
In the distance, the melodious chants of labor came. Although it was unclear what was being shouted, Lu Su could also tell that there was not too much resentment, anger and other negative emotions in the shouts, but instead There is a feeling of prosperity...
this……
Completely different.
In Jiangdong, every large-scale labor force is a good opportunity for officials to make money, and it is a disaster for ordinary people.
Vaguely, Lu Su heard Fei Qian seem to ask about labor casualties...
Lu Su was stunned for a moment and turned around.
"While moving the rocks, two of them lost their grip, one broke his leg, and the other was crushed to death..." Zao just sighed, "The doctor said that the broken leg couldn't be reattached, so he cut it off. ...』
"Has the pension been paid yet..."
"We have already sent someone to distribute it..."
When Lu Su heard what Fei Qian and Zao Zhi said, he found it unbelievable.
Are you kidding me? For such a big project, there will only be one death and one injury?
And there’s also a pension?!
this……
Isn't it just an act?
When will the big man give pensions to hard laborers?
Aren’t they all about life and death?
However, the next conversation between Fei Qian and Zao Zhi not only failed to clear up Lu Su's doubts, but made him even more confused.
"Did you discover any talents during this period?"
"There are a few of them, and I'm going to let them go to the engineering college to study for two years..."
Fei Qian smiled and nodded, "Good! I think we can add another class, focusing on hydraulic engineering... such as these canals and bridges, docks and tidal flats, mills and waterwheels... maybe there are some overlaps with the construction department..."
"Remove the mill and add the building boat?" Zao said.
"It makes sense..." Fei Qian said, "Try it for one or two times first, and then adjust it... Well, this... Jiangdong's waterways are complicated, with many bridges and channels. Zijing might as well ask this Zijing to take a look at it and give some suggestions. suggestion……"
In the second half of the sentence, Fei Qian turned his head and gestured to Lu Su.
Zao Zhi's eyebrows moved, "Zheng Guoqu?"
Fei Qian nodded, "Zheng Guoqu."
Zao just smiled and said, "I understand."
So Zao Zhi stepped forward and invited Lu Su to go to the Zheng Guoqu construction site to have a look...
In Jiangdong, there are a lot of pretentious things, and what you say is beautiful and what your subordinates actually do are completely unrelated to each other, so Lu Su is doubtful about what Fei Qian is doing at the moment.
Regardless of the horizontal or vertical ratio.
All of this, all the situations in Guanzhong, are unbelievable.
When Zao Zhi invited him like this, Lu Su happened to have some doubts in his heart, so he reluctantly agreed and followed Zao Zhi back to the construction site of Zheng Guoqu.
Fei Qian watched Lu Su follow Zao Zhi forward, and signaled Huang Xu to tell the guards to watch over him carefully.
Although Lu Su has been very honest since meeting Fei Qian, even if Fei Qian invites him to go with him, he always respectfully takes one or two steps away from Fei Qian, neither too far nor too close. , showing good etiquette and still not to be taken lightly. Even though Lu Su has no record of his habit of working part-time as an assassin in history, necessary protection and caution are still required.
At this stage, Fei Qian feels that collecting figures from the Three Kingdoms is no longer an important issue.
On the contrary, how to manage the current foundation well, formulate corresponding strategies, and plan the direction of future development are more important matters!
Fei Qian stood on the mountain and looked at the surrounding Guanzhong land.
In Chinese history, among the feudal dynasties, there was not much awareness of land and soil conservation. Therefore, by the end of the Tang Dynasty, both the vegetation and the fertility of the land in Guanzhong were gradually exhausted, and there were not enough agricultural products. Under this situation, Guanzhong was unable to support a strong imperial core circle.
Therefore, after the Tang Dynasty, the population gradually moved east to south. The south suffered less famines and wars than the north. The Huaihe River, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were greatly developed and became an important granary supporting the entire country. Jiangnan became In the land of wealth, taxes can account for half of the country's revenue. After the Southern Song Dynasty, it went to a higher level, and you could even spend money to buy your life...
Later, in the Southern Song Dynasty, overseas navigation and trade also started. These are indeed Jiangnan's advantages and Jiangnan's contribution to the entire country. There is no need to doubt or deny it.
With the further development of the south in history, rice varieties with higher yields were introduced, and Jiangnan's position as an agricultural support became increasingly unshakable, which brought about the rise of the large and small landlord class in Jiangnan, and continued from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.
, the landlord class bureaucracy built over such a long period of time.
That's right, for one or some people in the landlord class system in Jiangdong and Jiangnan, they have not awakened to the concept of class. They are more of a subconscious group, fellow villagers, classmates, or cronies. But they
What they did was actually to protect the interests of the landlord class in Jiangdong and Jiangnan, using the land to be parasitic on the country and sucking blood, intertwined with each other at the top, and ruthlessly exploited and oppressed the people at the bottom.
Even in the Qing Dynasty, after the change of dynasties, the gentry descendants group in Jiangnan quickly found their own position and continued to use the land to negotiate peace with the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, and to exploit the people to the maximum extent, and continued to live a life of intoxication and dreams.
land, land.
As we all know, China is not actually a country rich in products. The early propaganda of later generations was nothing more than to boost national self-esteem, but it was twisted by some scholars and experts to mean something close to the "Celestial Kingdom"...
Especially China lacks precious metals.
This is very fatal.
The two closest, largest, and most convenient sources of precious metals to China were Dongbo and Persia.
However, the landlord class, which made its fortune from the land and used the land to hold the country's citizens hostage, hindered the development of Chinese navigation and burned the navigation blueprints...
They are unwilling to leave the land.
Of course, an empire, like people, also ages.
This was true in the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
Fei Qian knew that the same must be true in Guanzhong.
So what he has to do now is to prolong his youth and prime period as much as possible, but the decline will come later.
The key to delaying decline is not one person, but a group of people.
The greater the number of this "group", the more powerful it is.
otherwise……
"Lord..." Huang Xu whispered from the side, "This Lu Zijing...do you want to stay?"
Fei Qian pondered for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "No need...if he is willing to stay, he will stay naturally. If he is not willing...why force him to stay?"
