Snowflakes are flying.

In the Lantian Camp.

Fei Qian looked at the report delivered by a special person from Chang'an and pondered for a long time.

From the current perspective, the splitting action between the gentry and the Haoyou is quite successful. Whether from the reaction of the gentry or the response of these big families, they have basically entered a fermentation stage and are waiting for the subsequent evolution to gradually evolve.

Most Chinese people like to drink.

The fragrant wine requires long-term fermentation. Through physical and chemical changes, the original grain and yeast are mixed together to form a new substance. In this process, you must be careful and then pay attention to its changes at any time. Isn’t it the same as the current situation?

The gentry and the nobles have a convergence in nature.

One has power and the other has money. The combination of heaven and heaven will seduce the thunder and earth that will be lingering together, and will never give up until eighteen postures are put on.

But the problem is that when these two classes merge, it is often a disaster for the entire country.

Just like the landlord class is not a big problem, one or two landlords dare not give a single fart when facing violent institutions, but the big landlord class is very scary. After they grasp the regime, they can even use the state violent institutions to seek personal gain for themselves.

It is also like capitalists and bourgeoisie. Capitalists may talk about human feelings and have rationality in their individual pursuit of profits, but the bourgeoisie has no human feelings and will not care about social morality. In the future development, as long as there is enough money, it can do anything, and it doesn't matter if it even sells its motherland or soul.

There has never been love or hate in this world for no reason. So for the current Han Dynasty, what is the point of union between the gentry and the noble and the right?

It is a transaction between power and money.

Simply put, it means bribery and accepting bribes.

Grasping this point was like tying the key points of the gentry and Haoyou...

Before the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as power-for-money transactions, and there was no special law to address this issue. It even believed that this issue was not the most important thing, because even the emperor did this, and he sold his official position when he gave money. So could he still ask low-key officials not to engage in power-for-money transactions?

Then did the gentry think that the power-money transaction was correct at the beginning?

Not.

The disaster of the party and fining is the best proof. These gentry children who were together were obviously dissatisfied with the emperor's mess, but the problem was that they did not cultivate themselves without compromising themselves. When these gentry children criticized the emperor's old sons, they did not expect that in the later feudal society, they were actually more messing with themselves.

Fei Qian sighed slightly. In a sense, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked together, and then it is crooked for thousands of years...

Fei Qian studied the supervision system of the Han Dynasty. Overall, the emperors of the Han Dynasty were not all fools. During the Western Han Dynasty, a complete supervision system was established. On the basis of inheriting the Qin Dynasty system, the Censorate was established, and he was even called the deputy prime minister and was the highest supervisor in the country. The Censor's duty was to "correct the laws and regulations, participate in the duties, lead the officials in the general, and supervise the superiors and subordinates." However, the problem was that due to the implementation of the parallel system of counties and states in the early Han Dynasty, the central power was severely divided by the various vassal states. In terms of the actual role of the supervision system, it was mainly limited to areas directly under the central government and could not cover the whole country.

The right to supervision in local areas is the most fundamental and important authority for centralization.

So Fei Qian couldn't let go.

Pang Tong and others knew about this, and Wei Duan and others also understood this.

Therefore, when Fei Qian instructed Pang Tong and others to investigate and deal with the issue of power-for-money transactions with the three auxiliary guards in Guanzhong to rectify the style and clean up corruption, Wei Duan and Du Ji and others were more smart in politics and did not jump out to oppose it.

Because this itself is what a qualified political leader should do. What will happen if a political group leader ignores nothing and allows local forces to continue to develop?

Relying on general calls for integrity and moral standards alone, it is obviously impossible to solve the fundamental problem. The local powerful forces also seriously interfere with ordinary governors, or county prefects implement central government orders, and even buy local officials to join forces. In addition, local princes often overtake the law and interfere with the supervision of governance. Therefore, the so-called supervision system in the Han Dynasty was often left empty, and the so-called anti-corruption was just a joke.

Therefore, the question about Lu Bu reported by Pang Tong...

That's a big problem.

If it is not handled properly, it may lead to the implementation of Feiqian's overall policy and failure.

Fei Qian tapped gently on the table with his hands, like a drum beat on the battlefield.

Regarding Lu Bu, Fei Qian is still full of complex emotions. This emotion is even related to some cognitions in later generations. There are some other entries, such as: "Flying Admiral", "First", "Love Mass", "Forgive Color"...

It seemed that something was mixed in, forget it, don't care.

Fei Qian lowered his head, then lifted his pen, paused for a while, pondered for a long time, and finally wrote four words, sealing the original and allowing the scout to pass it back to Chang'an Shangshutai for preparation.

"Caozi..." Fei Qian signaled the table, then said, "Please come...drink tea..."

The boss wanted to invite someone to have tea, but even Zhen Zidan could not refuse, let alone Cao Zidan.

Not long after, Cao Zhen came happily and gave a secret salute to Fei.

Cao Zhen read it hard these two days and then memorized it hard. The small notebook was almost full, but the more he wrote it, the more he felt a little depressed.

Because this gap is not a little bit or two, even if Cao Zhen knows and writes it down, it is impossible to do it.

Eat, drink, defecate, urinate, sleep.

Simple?

Not simple at all.

As the commander, Fei Qian certainly had mutton to eat, which was not a big problem. Although the mutton on Cao's army was not as fragrant as the cavalry, it was not bad when hungry. Generals such as Cao Zhen could still eat meat often, and this problem was not big. But the problem was that there were ordinary soldiers here. At least each group could divide a bowl of broth and two or three pieces of mixed pieces in three days. They could be crushed and made into porridge...

Can Cao Jun do it?

It's OK once or twice, if you do it for a long time like Fei Qian...

Then the problem of stooling and urinating looks simple. There are pits specially dug in some locations in the military camp, and then covered with wooden boards and urine barrels. This is normal. This is fine. Cao's army can do it. Then Fei Qian asked the ordinary people around to clean up the feces. This is fine. Cao's army can do it, but it can make the people around often argue and fight for the feces. This...

The reason is that the people who are in the military believe that the people under the cavalry eat well and have enough oil and water, so the feces are naturally fertile, so they are definitely better than ordinary feces when used to give their own fields.

Hi! Cao Zhen also forgot what expression he had when he learned about this situation, and probably he was a little amused and crying.

Then eating, drinking, urinating, urinating, and sleeping will also involve other problems.

Just like in Jizhou and Yuzhou, who are the soldiers? Refugees, tyrants, or strong men caught, but in Feiqian, they are almost entirely recruiting soldiers, and even recruiting them only once a year! Don’t be bad!

Discipline and other things are different. After all, under military law, even the most shameful gangster can handle it and obey it.

It's mainly about other things...

Cao Zhen heard that every year when the county in Guanzhong arrives, those who have to register for the army can line up two or three miles long. This is something Cao Zhen can't imagine. But when he thinks about it, he can understand that such good treatment is meat soup and miscellaneous every few days. In addition, there are soldiers in the military camp from time to time, and the winners are rewarded. The food is even much better than that of ordinary farmers. With a piece of armor and weapons, the military pay is actually paid in place. If Cao Zhen is an ordinary citizen, he will be moved when he hears it!

Then can Cao Jun do it?

The soldiers under the cavalry won, and the first-level merits can be used for promotion, exchange for money, or even for fields. This is almost a replica of the Former Qin Dynasty. Cao Zhen also knew that when Cao's army won, what can ordinary soldiers get? At most, they would be a bowl of thin wine, one jerky meat, two or three black-fried cakes...

Is it willing to give it to me like a cavalry?

I can't afford it. The only fields in Jizhou and Yuzhou are there, how can I give them? Who can I give them?

So almost all the soldiers under the cavalry competed for the first place. If they were disabled, they would not retreat. What about Cao's army...

The more Cao Zhen wrote and the more he remembered, the more he had the urge to secretly hide in the corner and cry. The powerlessness that he knew the problem was but couldn't change was really frustrating.

what to do?

These problems have been lingering in Cao Zhen’s mind these two days and cannot be removed.

Then Cao Zhen vaguely felt that he seemed to have found some idea...

Why can Fei Qian treat these soldiers well, and even make ordinary people think that it is good to be a soldier? Because the benefits of being a soldier are indeed very high, and what are the conditions for high welfare? Fei Qian is rich.

So how did Fei Qian’s money come from?

New technology, new business...

This is almost something that Fei Qian puts on the surface and lets everyone see. As long as there are new technologies and new businesses, they will naturally have money. Of course, Cao Zhen also discovered this. Then Cao Zhen thought that he wanted to find a business that Cao family could do for Cao Cao, and only Cao family could do.

Naturally, Cao Zhen took a look at the spices...

In the Han Dynasty, spices were praised, and even believed that spices could help ghosts and gods. Burning incense was a basic operation, and it was not only in later generations that only Buddhism and Taoism burned incense. Things like "Emperor Wu cultivated the palace and burned the fragrance of hundreds of harmony, Zhang Yunjin's lanterns of nine lights, listing the dates of the Yumen, drinking the wine of the puppet grapes, and surrendering the mother of the marquis and the mother of the princes", are basically common.

This is true for the royal family, and the same is true for ordinary gentry. They like to use incense, and the demand is not very large. Cao Zhen thought that if he could enter some incense from Feiqian, then go back to Xu County, and then sell it by Cao's family, and specially build a spice shop for sale, wouldn't it be...

"General of the Cavalry, this, the foreign minister has a reluctant request..."

Cao Zhen stuttered, took off his clothes with a little shyness and discomfort. Uh, it was wrong, it was because he opened his mind. Well, it seemed that something was wrong, and he told him what he thought was.

After all, Cao Zhen is not a professional businessman. First of all, he didn't bring any other counselors. Secondly, he was afraid that someone would send to negotiate after he went back, so he had to go around the corner. It would be better to take advantage of the fact that he could face Fei Qian face to face and finalize the spices. Wouldn't it be more convenient than the discussions step by step later?

"Oh? I never thought that Zidan was interested in this..." Fei Qian said with a smile, and waved his hand very heroically, "Zidan doesn't have to be ashamed of talking about business! The stinky words are the words of a Confucian scholar. How can you lose the four dimensions of governance in governing the country? Only when you treat people equally and equally, you will be righteous. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce perform their duties, and the country is strong, how can you be ashamed to speak of it?"

Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "Every word of the cavalry is, every word is pearls, I am very careful to be taught."

『Over-worthy, too-worthy…』 Fei Qian laughed, 『I was a little surprised, Zi Dan thought, just like a certain intention…』

Cao Zhen was suddenly a little happy, thinking that a great thing could be accomplished, but he never thought that Fei Qian continued to say, "The importance of spices is definitely not ordinary. If you don't know the law, it will be a waste of natural resources... I heard that in the third year of Zhenghe, Emperor Wu was fortunate to be at peace. The King of the Xihu Yuezhi sent an envoy to offer four taels of incense, as big as sparrow eggs and as black as mulberries. The emperor gave the incense not owned by China, so he paid for the outer warehouse. The gods of incense prevented the deaths of young and old, and the beasts were evil monsters..."

Cao Zhen was a little dull (O_o), and then he felt vaguely that this matter seemed to begin to slide in a direction that he could not control. "This is a false statement, or it may be over."

Fei Qian nodded with a smile and continued, "...This statement may be over, but in Chang'an Hundred Clinics, there are examples of using incense to save trouble and blow incense to steal life..."

"What?!" Cao Zhen widened his eyes.

Fei Qian waved and then signaled Huang Xu to show Cao Zhen several documents.

The contents that Fei Qian said before were indeed as Cao Zhen said, but they were just rumors. After all, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, I have never thought about the expansion of the outside world, so I don’t think that it is as powerful as Emperor Wu of Han. But the more I don’t have it, the more I want to have it, so there are many rumors about Emperor Wu of Han. What does Emperor Wu of Han say, what he has done, etc., just like I can’t see the president in my daily life, and I can’t see the white and rich beauty in my daily life, and then I have to fantasize about how the president’s white and rich beauty is so arrogant.

So about the singular fragrance of the dead flesh and bones of Emperor Wu of Han, Fei Qian roughly means to make an introduction, but in fact, it is more important to cause the following content. Under certain specific conditions, spices can indeed cure diseases.

The nasal cavity is the closest part to the cerebrospinal cord. Some people even keep clearing their noses if they don’t catch a cold. It’s because there is a gap on the nasal cavity that has not grown well, and the cerebrospinal fluid leaks out...

Therefore, when people faint, convulse, or have some other symptoms, and cannot drink decoctions and needles, a specially configured spice powder can be used to blow directly into the nasal cavity, or ignite and smoke, which can calm down, concentrate, and even relieve some symptoms.

"Incense should be used by the monarch and ministers according to different functions, and use the monarch, minister, assistant, and auxiliary to cooperate, and each is suitable for its position, so that it can fully display its nature..." Fei Qian talked and loaded the skill of opening up the trick of deception. "The fragrance of curing diseases has its own principles and methods, and they all have their own methods. They are all based on the five elements and six elements, and the time of heaven and earth. For example, based on the epidemic in Jiazi and Jiawu years, based on the principles of the five elements and six qi, it is because the earth energy is too strong, and even the water is weak, and the water is weak and the wood is not up to the basis, so the earth energy is strong again, which hurts the original essence..."

"This is the so-called Shaoyin Junhuo is in the sky, and Yangming is dry and gold in the spring. Therefore, in hundreds of clinics, if the symptoms of excessive earth are adjusted, agarwood should be used as the king, and then the mixture is mixed with rhubarb, cloves, calamus, etc., and the fragrance is called "Jingchen"..."

"There are also people with dryness who often have headaches and fever..." Fei Qian slowly said, as if he was not concerned about it. "No name-based swelling and pain, toothache and sleeplessness, and there is a calming fragrance. Use agarwood as the main, benzoin as the supplement, and add angelica and fennel to make seal fragrance, burn it before going to bed. It can also be mixed with stone honey and made into incense balls, and used in the decoction method. After the aroma is exhausted, use the remaining ash balls. Take it with water before going to bed. A wisp of fragrance can enter the orifice of the spirit, and its function of calming the soul is very important..."

Cao Zhen looked and listened, and didn't know whether he should be laughing or crying for a while.

Cao Zhen originally thought that he could find Fei Qian to do an ordinary transaction of imported spices, but his thoughts were still on simple applications such as eating or smoking. Unexpectedly, Fei Qian had already started to develop high-end products for spices, with various additional extensions. Not to mention other things, if Cao Zhen saw that there was a so-called peaceful fragrance on the market, he would definitely purchase and pay tribute to Cao Cao...

Although it still sounds like a spice business, something seems to be wrong...

"Come on, look at this thing again..."

Fei Qian was like a hospitable businessman. Well, the master, and asked the guard to give Cao Zhen two exquisite bamboo joint boxes. There were carved flowers on the bamboo joint boxes, and a layer of red and black paint on the outside, which had a unique charm.

Cao Zhen opened the lid of the bamboo joint box and a fragrance filled the air. There was a sachet inside, and there was one inside a box.

"This is the fragrance I wear everyday, one is "Shuangjing Yun". When people walk on the Shuangjing, people also think of people. In the mirror, there are four kinds of fragrances, which are divided into high and low thickness, and are mixed properly, which is aggregated but not emitted, contains but not exposed, and is warmed by the human body, and is smoky and dispersed... It is suitable for gentlemen to use..."

Fei Qian also ordered another lighter-colored sack, "This is the use of ladies. Because women often use charm and sweetness as the main focus, the fragrance is also used to make sweet and gentle, and it is called "Bianhuaju". In addition to spices, dried ginger and dogwood are supplemented. They can be used to warm and nourish the body and to regulate the cold..."

"Zi Dan, how about it?"
