It is said in later generations that a penny stumped heroes. Whether it is a hero or a hero in reality, they all need to eat, drink, defecate, and in these daily life, basically, they spend money every moment.

Liu Xie frowned a little.

Now, the treasury has no money, and the Shaofu has no money, and this year's autumn fu is still early. It's impossible to say that it was collected in advance, right? What's more, even if you want to collect it first, I'm afraid the people will not have money.

So, ask the gentry and the right people to raise some donations?

Who are you looking for?

There were no gentry in this place in Bingbei. Even if we are in Pingyang now, we are just some gentry and wealthy people coming from all over the world. If you want to talk about money, there are a few, but no matter which one of them, it is impossible to bring all the wealth of a family with you...

Liu Xie was thinking, Fei Qian hung his eyelids, and was also thinking.

What did Fu De and Yang Xiu mean to do?

Stop this Yinshan Fengshan Ceremony?

Well, unlikely.

This ceremony was actually of some significance to Fei Qian, but it was a bit like icing on the cake. It was good to have it, but there was no loss.

On the contrary, the Fengshan ceremony in Yinshan is of little significance to Liu Xie, which is much more important than Fei Qian. Liu Xie ascended the throne at a young age and spent a period of time without autonomy under Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun and others. Now such a Fengshan ceremony is like an announcement to the world that Liu Xie’s independence and independence begins. How can Liu Xie not pay attention to this?

Yang Xiu is a smart person, so he can't not understand this. If he blocks Liu Xie, it would be like a nail planting in Liu Xie's heart, and he would not know when the sharpness would appear.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Yang Xiu would want to block the ceremony of Yinshan Fengshan. So why did Yang Xiu put forward such words?

Fei Qian thought quietly and had some answers in his heart.

Yang Xiu is indeed extremely intelligent, but a simple sentence hides a series of traps.

Liu Xie really has no money, so the only one who can pay money now and is likely to be willing to pay this amount of money is Fei Qian himself. This is naturally a very simple thing. Fei Qian originally estimated that he might put some on it, just like he raised these officials during this period. Anyway, there is no big fish and meat, and he can't spend much money on simple food.

But with Fu De's words, it's completely different.

Not to mention anything else, if you want to pay attention to it, how much does it cost to just a emperor’s ceremonial guard? How can there be a certain amount of the pomp of the ceremonial guard? It’s simply a huge bottomless pit, and it’s not enough to fill it in!

The emperor has three levels: the emperor, the great driver, the Dharma driver, and the small driver. For major political events like Fengshan Yinshan, the standard must be used at least. In the Dharma driver's ceremonial guard, the car that the emperor carries needs to be decorated with a large amount of gold and silver, so it is also called a golden carriage, and it also needs to drive six horses. In addition to these, there are thirty-six passengers with the other two horses...

The big driver is even more amazing. According to etiquette regulations, the number of big drivers is astonishing, with as many as 81 vehicles. In addition, there are thousands of vehicles and more than 10,000 cavalrymen. In addition, the emperor also needs to be guided by the ministers and generals, guarded by the chariots and horses, and the grand servants in charge of the palace chariots and horses.

The little car was more casual, with only the deacon Shangshu, and the number of carriages was smaller.

In addition to the requirements on the vehicle, there are also those who guide the driver, guide, front and rear guard, front and back band, ceremonial guard, etc. These personnel and utensils also require a lot of money to prepare.

Six large flags, twelve large dragon flags, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, etc., as well as various types of cameras, including guide cars, egret cars, phoenix cars, phoenix cars, evil-proof cars, Pixuan cars, etc., and the band representing the royal royal majesty uses small drums, big drums, prick drums, chord drums, feather drums, flutes, long flutes, thrombus, phoenix drums, gold poles, silver files, etc.

This needs to be filled in, how much money is enough?

The key is that if you fill in so much money, it is a big question whether you can hear a sound.

When the money is spent, can these flags, ceremonies and other things be transformed back into money? Obviously, it is impossible. Most of the money will be spent in vain and worthless.

So now, this money is not just about being exposed, nor is it even if it doesn’t.

Spending this money is like self-harm, consuming a lot of economic strength, and then gaining some false reputations has nothing. As one rises and the other falls, it may be overwhelmed by the surrounding princes.

It is also unreasonable to not spend the money. Yinshan is on his own territory. Whether it is the emperor Liu Xie or the officials, they are strictly considered guests, but their master cannot pay a penny, which ultimately leads to the entire Fengshan behavior being left alone. So when Liu Xie thinks about it, who is responsible?

Paying money is equivalent to self-harm. If you don’t pay, it means that the Fengshan ceremony will end. Of course, it may be more than just a Fengshan ceremony, but there may be more things...

Fei Qian turned his head slightly and looked at Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu was like nothing happened, sitting upright, looking at his eyes, nose, nose, mouth and mouth.

Fu De was just a pawn, and he could not think of such a three-step strategy. Moreover, the weaker he is, the better it is to Yang's family. Therefore, except for Yang Xiu, others will not make such a strategy to plan.

So how should we deal with it?

Fei Qian thought in his mind.

Therefore, in the hall, it became strangely silent at this moment, only the sound of breathing was heard, but no one spoke.

After a while, Liu Xie looked at Fei Qian and whispered: "What do you think about this... Fei Aiqing?"

After hearing Liu Xie's speech, Yang Xiu's expression, which was originally like a wood carving, moved slightly, and a hint of hidden smile appeared between his eyebrows and eyes quickly disappeared.

As Yang Xiu expected, Liu Xie would eventually ask Fei Qian for help.

The emperor was young and had a certain mind, which was the best time. This half-aged child was naturally very good when he was good, but it was so bad that people hated him to the core. Yang Xiu was born in the Hongnong Yang family. He didn't know how many people saw such people in the family, so of course he knew the mystery.

If you talk to Liu Xie directly about something wrong with Fei Qian, Liu Xie may not be willing to listen, but if Liu Xie already has some grudges in his heart, then if he fiddled with it, it might be like an avalanche...

And now, it is the beginning of the gap.

Yang Xiu glanced at Fei Qian with the corner of his eyes and said in his heart, Fei Ziyuan, General Fei Ziyuan, in such a situation, how do you choose?

………………………………

At this moment, Cao Cao, who is far away in Xuzhou, is also facing a very difficult choice.

Before the big tent, a man kneeling on his face, his helmet had been removed, and his hair, which was stained with sweat and dust, drooped, looking very embarrassed.

"Zi Lian!" Cao Cao shouted angrily, "Since you know that the soldiers in Qingzhou are wild and difficult to tame, why don't you strictly prevent and stop them? Even if this big thing happens! Dongping and Fan County, there are more than ten forts in a row, and there are no chickens and dogs left wherever you pass! Zi Lian, you have received good soldiers!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

A few days ago, Cao Hong was asked to take Qingzhou soldiers to the surrounding area to raise food and grass, and did say that if someone did not cooperate, some necessary measures could be taken. However, Cao Cao did not expect that the hungry Qingzhou soldiers would be like a husky without reins when they were released. He became crazy and even Cao Cao felt a little scared.

Dongping and Fan County, there are more than ten large and small forts around the area, involving tens of thousands of people. They were actually captured by Qingzhou soldiers who tasted the sweetness. The people who were originally in the fort were naturally killed, and then they burned the food and grass...

The problem of food and grass was indeed temporarily solved, but the massacre of all the rural gentry and heroes in the two counties was not the result that Cao Cao was willing to see.

Killing soldiers and killing the people is not a problem most of the time. Just like when Huangfu Song and others killed all 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, they killed all 100,000 people or drowned. No one, or no children of the gentry came forward to accuse Huangfu Song and others of being cruel, and even wrote some songs to praise Huangfu Song and others. However, when Dong Zhuo sent Xu Rong to kill a leading Li Min, someone immediately began to say that Dong Zhuo was cruel and easy to kill, and was inhumane. When Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Wei, an uproar suddenly started...

The same is true for Cao Cao in Xuzhou.

The attack on Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian is not a big deal in the eyes of most children of the gentry.

Anyway, isn’t it just a battle between the princes? When the result of the competition between the two sides comes out, then naturally, whether it is Tao Qian or Cao Cao, the right-wingers of the countryside still need to carry out local management and government affairs.

So some time ago, when Cao Cao led his troops to attack Xuzhou, these gentry and tyrants did not care much, nor did they expect that the Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao would be so cruel and did not have much defense. As a result, the Qingzhou soldiers swept across Dongping and Fan County like locusts within a few days.

Cao Hong paused his head to the ground and said, "...I... I am negligent, please punish him..." Cao Hong also knew that the matter was getting worse, so he came with a thorn. He heard Cao Cao's anger and did not argue too much.

Cao Hong did not expect this to become such a situation.

First, things were going too fast, and Cao Hong didn't react for a while, and it was already decayed. Second, Cao Hong knew that there was no food in the army, so when a large number of food and grass were transported, he didn't think much about it when he was happy.

In addition, Cao Hong actually prefers Aduo. Therefore, with the joint effect of several aspects, when Cao Hong woke up from a car of various gold and silver treasures, the Qingzhou soldiers who were vanishing as the vanguard had already searched the two counties and came back to ask if they wanted to continue to drive to the next county town. This suddenly made Cao Hong feel something was wrong...

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the cut off heads could not grow back.

Cao Cao turned his head slightly and glanced at Wei Ji, who had suggested sending troops to lend food, but saw that Wei Ji was sitting upright, like a wooden carving.

Cao Cao couldn't help but gritted his teeth and jumped twice.

It makes no sense to blame Wei Ji for this matter.

The decision was Cao Cao himself, and the executor was Cao Hong, a relative of Cao Cao. Wei Ji only made a suggestion, and the rest of the matter was done by Cao Cao. Moreover, at the beginning, Wei Ji really only said that he wanted to capture one or two typical examples and kill a chicken to warn the monkeys, and did not say that he wanted to massacre all the forts around the county town. This responsibility could not be involved in Wei Ji.

However, Cao Cao felt in his heart that this matter seemed to be somewhat involved with Wei Ji...

But this has to be left to talk about it later, and a choice must be made in front of you.

The gentry holds revenge, and it is impossible to say that the gentry heroes in Fan County, Dongping. The children of the gentry in other places will slapped the left and handed them on their right faces, and happily sent them to their clean necks. Therefore, if Cao Cao did not deal with it and did not give an explanation, he would inevitably become a descendant of the inhumane eunuch party in the minds of the gentry in Xuzhou. Whether they had to temporarily borrow or rule the place, they would probably have many difficulties.

However, if it is to be processed, what can it be done?

Handing over his brothers to make the Xuzhou gentry cut into pieces?

Or should I send the Qingzhou soldiers who had finally grasped it?

For a moment, Cao Cao could not make a choice.

Although Wei Ji, who was standing by, had no advice on his face, his heart was turbulent.

It is actually not difficult to guess Cao Cao's intention to break away from Yuan Shao's control, but the problem is that Yuan Shao is just a silly and sweet person. He will have to wait until the last moment to find out?

Who is Cao Cao relying on to take office in Dongjun? If there were no soldiers supported by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao could gain a foothold in Yanzhou? If there were no Yuan Shao's endorsement to Cao Cao, would Cao Cao, the eunuch, be looked at by another person?

Wei Ji came to Cao Cao, on the one hand because there were too many people on Yuan Shao and there was no suitable position. On the other hand, he was entrusted by Yuan Shao to "assist" Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao is obviously too ambitious and wants to escape Yuan Shao's invasion of Xuzhou, so of course he is not favored by Wei Ji. If Cao Cao really controls Xuzhou and stays in Xuzhou, then it would be equivalent to Yuan Shao losing the guards on his flanks and will inevitably fall into an unfavorable situation of being attacked by Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu.

Only when Cao Cao stays in Yanzhou can it be valuable to Yuan Shao. Only when Wei Ji lets Cao Cao stay in Yanzhou can it be considered as completing Yuan Shao's entrustment. So even if this time it was not because of the recklessness of the Qingzhou soldiers, Wei Ji would have thought of other ways...
