Some people say that among the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan were actually tragic heroes, because everything they did was in vain in the end. They fought for hegemony, but eventually fell into the hands of Sima. They struggled all their lives, but in the end they had nothing.

Seeing their dreams come true, they worked hard, but in the end they only had a pot of wine in the river and a fisherman's sigh.

From a certain perspective, this is not wrong.

But if you look at it from a higher level, or think about it from a deeper level, in fact, all three of them, Liu, Caosun and Liu, made great contributions to the historical development of China.

Because the three of them, during their respective periods of rule and governance, all unanimously did one thing, a far-reaching thing, which was to activate talents from many poor families and even common people.

Cao Cao won’t talk about it, many people know it.

Under Liu Bei, Guan Yu was a fugitive, Zhang Fei was a merchant, and Zhuge Liang was a poor man who broke his family and fled to Jingzhou...

Sun Quan's men, although Sun Shiwan has been competing with the Jiangdong gentry all his life, during the period of struggle, he also promoted some outstanding talents from poor families, such as Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Kan Ze, etc...

From this point of view, they are successful and they are great.

Whether they were intentional or unintentional, at least in the process, they gave more people in the Han Dynasty room for promotion. They opened up channels for the flow of upper and lower classes, allowing the gradually solidified class hierarchy to reactivate.

It contains all kinds of shining characters in the Three Kingdoms period.

Throughout history, every time class solidification is broken and new classes are redefined, a group of talented people with amazing talents shine on the road of history.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Therefore, the poor families and common people who have tasted the sweetness have seen the light and hope. Even if the Three Kingdoms is over, they are not willing to sink again.

Throughout the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, power belonged to the nobility. The reason why the Qin Dynasty was able to unify the six kingdoms may not have been without a considerable part of the contribution of the twenty military meritorious officials. After the Han Dynasty, the power belonged to the ministers. The nobles were powerful and controlled the local areas and competed with the central government.

Then during the fight between Liu, Cao, and Sun, they promoted a large number of common people, and the power and brilliance exerted by these common people far exceeded those of the so-called "more noble" gentry children at the same time.

Although the final result of the Han Dynasty was that the Five Husbands disrupted China and each went his own way, it is not so much that the disputes between the Three Kingdoms led to the Five Husbands' chaos in China, but rather that the common people from poor families who were not willing to remain silent were fighting to prevent themselves from being killed by the "Ninth Grade Zhongzheng"

』The level was completely solidified and they would not become inferior people again, so they acted without hesitation.

Obviously, the poor and common people themselves do not have much power, so resorting to external forces has become an inevitable path...

Therefore, as Fei Qian analyzed before, the entire border issue of the Han Dynasty was a problem of the Han people themselves, and the issue of the entire Three Kingdoms was also a problem of the Han people themselves. Even the subsequent Five Husties chaos in China was also a factor of the Han people themselves.

If the Chinese people hadn't tormented their own people, then no foreign nation could have resisted the Chinese people!

I believe many people know this, but just like the question Fei Qian asked Liu Bei before, knowing that "tyranny" is like this, what have you done and changed?

Fei Qian believes that the reason why Chinese people were exiled to peripheral areas was because most Chinese people believed that the surrounding areas were barbaric and barren lands. Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they still believed that barbarians were everywhere and only China was beautiful.

Therefore, Fei Qian put forward the "Resource Theory" and spared no effort to instill in Liu Bei how beautiful Jiaozhi is and how many products and wealth there are. This is all to let Liu Bei and other Chinese people begin to form a concept. Although the outside world

It's wild, but there are countless wealth and opportunities. Instead of fighting life and death in your own home, it's better to go outside and take a look...

Although it is said that after handling this way, there will definitely be new problems in the future, but future problems can only be left to future people to deal with. At least at this stage, Fei Qian feels that doing this is a way to solve the current acute social contradictions.

Ways and means.

"If Liu Xuande goes here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to return to China..." Pang Tong said slowly.

Pang Tong didn't have much opinion on Liu Bei's arrangements.

Because although there are certain risks in delegating power to Liu Bei, the risk is not high, because very simply, Liu Bei is already forty. In the Han Dynasty, the average life span was about forty, Liu Bei was almost covered with loess up to his neck.

age.

Even if Liu Bei prepares nothing from now on, he will rush to Jiaozhou immediately. It will take at least a year on the road. Then Shi Xie of Jiaozhou will definitely not give up the interests at hand easily. Even if Liu Bei is fighting while

While talking, we win over groups of people and win over groups. It doesn't take two or three years to get Shi Xie.

After capturing Jiaozhou, it is still necessary to restore production, restore the economy, and accumulate strength. This will take at least two or three years. Therefore, even if Liu Bei is dissatisfied, he goes to Jiaozhou just to lead the army back. In terms of the fastest, waiting until Liu Bei has the strength can

When I look back, I'm afraid I'll be nearly fifty...

Coupled with the climate, mosquitoes, miasma, etc. in the Lingnan area of ​​Jiaozhou, if you are not careful...

As for the next generation of Liu Bei, not to mention whether there will be any deviation due to the changes in the wheel of history, it is said that ordinary people like to be stable for a period of time after a war. So after Liu Bei gets old, the next generation will live in Guanzhong specially arranged by Fei Qian.

Under stable living conditions, with good food and clothing every day, Liu Chan can let himself go as much as he wants. After waiting for a few years or more to be transferred to Jiaozhou, how determined will he be to fight for it?

It was the practice of the Han Dynasty that for those who held important positions such as governor of a foreign country, governor of a state, etc., the eldest son had to stay with the central government as a hostage.

Therefore, Pang Tong said that once Liu Bei left, he would have no hope of ever returning to China.

"Um……"

Fei Qian lowered his head slightly and responded.

In fact, when he finally saw Liu Bei holding the golden seal and slowly retreating, Fei Qian felt a little sad in his heart. After all, Liu Bei had also entrusted part of Fei Qian's dreams in his youth...

However, Fei Qian is now considering more people, including the whole of China. He cannot make random arrangements just because of his personal likes and dislikes. He must consider more and weigh more.

It's like giving Liu Bei a Jiaozhou governor and two third-grade generals. It seems to be a great authority and honor, but in fact Liu Bei needs to fight for the real power. At most, Fei Qian can only deploy some county soldiers and distribute supplies.

Just give it to Liu Bei so that Liu Bei can expand in the early stage.

Since Fei Qian has the advantage of modern people's thinking, he must use it. Otherwise, if he still competes with the Han Dynasty people with white knives, red knives, green knives, etc., wouldn't it be an insult to his knowledge over the years?

Expanding outwards will inevitably lead to the formation of separate vassal regimes.

At this stage, Fei Qian has two "vassal kings", one is Lu Bu from the Western Regions, and the other is Liu Bei from Lingnan who is about to embark on a journey...

Maybe the names of each dynasty and each generation are different, but in fact they are similar. Therefore, how to deal with the problems of the vassals in various places is what Fei Qian should consider in advance, and cannot wait until the next generation is too big to lose.

Tell me how to solve it.

"The "Fan Yuan" was established at that time..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Specialized in the affairs of the barbarian vassals in various places, recruiting people from the barbarian vassals..."

The foreign affairs agencies of ancient China had official positions during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period and the Qin Dynasty, but there was no dedicated department to take charge of them. For example, the officials in charge of diplomacy in the Qin Dynasty were called Dianke, and the corresponding foreign affairs country was the Dianguo.

In the Han Dynasty, the duties responsible for foreign affairs were merged into the official Dahonglu, called Shangshu Zhugucao. They were divided into north and south. They were specifically responsible for the administration of government orders and escorts for the reception of court guests from ethnic minority Tibetan countries...

Pang Tong was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, you want to set up a separate host and guest Cao?"

Fei Qian nodded, then shook his head.

"The Fanyuan is not only to welcome, but also to go..." Fei Qian said slowly, "What's more important is to collect... The affairs here cannot be handled by just the host and guest Cao..."

"Welcome, go, collect..." Pang Tong muttered, his eyes wandering.

Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong with some interest, wanting to see if Pang Tong could detect anything from these three seemingly non-threatening words.

"Welcoming is the duty of host and guest... Going away is a matter of enlightenment?" Pang Tong's eyes lit up and he turned to ask Fei Qiandao.

Fei Qian nodded, "That's about it..."

"Collect...to collect money and property from foreign countries?" Pang Tong said.

Fei Qian laughed and said, "It's almost as good as what Shi Yuan said! But there are still some shortcomings..."

"Please give me some advice, my lord." Pang Tonggong said, cupping his hands.

Fei Qian waved his hand, indicating that Pang Tong did not need to be so serious, and then said: "Since it is a welcome, there should be a rule, maybe three years, or five years, how can we just let him come if he wants, and if he doesn't want to, he will not pay tribute?"

This is the first one. The second one is that the so-called tribute should be of benefit to China. Gold, silver and jewels are common things in trade. How can they be added as tribute or as rewards? We should take what is abundant in that place but rare in China.

Therefore, do not use the Yu to make up for the number, or pretend to be auspicious, deceive and insult. Thirdly, when there is tribute, there should be a gift. The so-called courtesy is reciprocal, but it needs to be weighed to determine the amount. The products of China should be used instead of wealth and vulgar goods.

, to prevent favoring one over the other, and to prevent treacherous people from profiting from it..."

Think about the envoys in future generations who catch two white rabbits and a white chicken on the road and treat them as auspicious things to the country, and then happily take back a lot of gold and silver as rewards.

What do you mean, tell people from foreign countries, how many people in China have money to come quickly?

Even if there is a political need, we cannot mess around like this.

"Going, in addition to teaching, I also have hydrology and spying responsibilities... As for collecting..." Fei Qian's voice became weaker and weaker, and his expression became more serious.

Pang Tong lowered his head slightly, with the same serious expression.

The figures of the two people were stretched out in the sunlight, and they just merged with the shadow under the "Seeking Truth and Righteousness" screen in the hall...

……(^._.^)?(ò?ó?)……

Yuan Shang came all the way, and the more he walked, the stranger it became.

Part of it is strange local things, and the other part is strange...

In his impression, the area to the north is the wilderness. And the people living in the wilderness are naturally barbarians or wilderness people.

But now...

"What is this?" Yuan Shang couldn't help but pointed at an object not far away and said.

"It seems like it's overturned..." the guard on the side replied.

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "It's not a rollover. The rollover is a board. Although this thing is similar to a rollover, it doesn't have a board..."

Yuan Shang knew that the guards might not be clear about it, so he turned around and shouted: "Where is Gongzhi?"

I called out but no one answered, and then I called out again, and then I saw Guo Tu slowly catching up from behind and said, "I don't know what you are calling me for?"

Yuan Shang repeated the question.

Guo Tu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "Since I don't know his name, just send someone to ask... I have something else to do... Farewell, farewell..."

After saying this, Guo Tu bowed his hands and fell behind again, not following Yuan Shang's vehicle.

As the wheels turned, Yuan Shang's eyes fell on Guo Tu, who had his head lowered and his hands folded, respectfully observing etiquette, and then slowly distanced himself.
To be continued...
