"Spring and Autumn Zuo Zhuan" begins with Duke Yin of Lu. In the first year of Yin Gong, it is the beginning of Spring and Autumn Period. First, a brief introduction is given to the relationship between Duke Hui of Lu, Duke Yin of Lu, and Duke Huan of Lu. Then after the first year of Yin Gong, the "Zuo Zhuan" is introduced.

Next, the following historical events are introduced. First, the prince was young when Lu Yin Gong died, and Lu Yin Gong took over as regent...

Second, the king of Zhu State was not canonized by the emperor and formed an alliance with the regent Lu Yin Gong for their own needs;

Third, Duke Zhuang of Zheng defeated the rebellion of his son Duan, and Duan’s son Gongsun Hua fled to Weiguo for help. Weiguo sent troops to attack Zhengguo, and Zhengguo attacked Weiguo in the name of Emperor Zhou;

Fourth, it was disrespectful for the Zhou royal family to send minister Zai Shen to the State of Lu to offer condolences;

The fifth is the Ji people's crusade against the Yi country;

Sixth, the State of Lu formed an alliance with the State of Song to seek peace.

In addition, it also records some miscellaneous events in the State of Lu, such as the construction of Langcheng, the south gate of the capital city, the occurrence of insect pests, etc. Among them, one incident is written in the most detail...

Fei Zhen flipped through the pages, and then deliberately wanted to read according to the words in the book, but she also knew in her heart that Fei Qian was not asking about these words, but she couldn't think of something specific to extract.

I just felt like I knew every word in the Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan, but now that they were put together, it became something completely new and unfamiliar. I didn't know how to answer for a while.

"If you look at the Spring and Autumn Period at a glance, these are the things..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Big and small things, one thing after another... But if you look closely, they are very interesting... This is why I want to take you with me.

One of the reasons for a trip to Hedong... But I want to find out something specifically..."

"I still have to rely on myself..." Feizhen sighed and flipped through the book again.

Fei Qian laughed and said, "I'll give you a suggestion... Read the opening chapter of Spring and Autumn Period first. If you really understand it, then read on... Otherwise, even if you read it for ten or twenty years, you may not really be able to read it."

It is the word "understand"..."

Feizhen sighed again, frowned and followed Fei Qian's suggestion, reading the Spring and Autumn Annals from the beginning, "In the spring of the first year, Wang Zhengyue..."

Fei Qian smiled, touched Fei Zhen's head, and then let Fei Zhen read by herself.

If Feizhen just slowly understood the problem and read carefully, then the problem in Hedong can't be solved only by reading more...

Fei Qian looked up and saw that the Fen River was flowing quietly, but on both sides of the Fen River, there were many docks visible to the naked eye. There were many docks in the east of the river, even denser than those in Guanzhong.

Because of the war, Wubao is more resistant to foreign enemies than ordinary villages. However, from another perspective, the advanced form of the village may be Wubao, but it does not mean that the village must only have the development of Wubao.

direction.

Wubao has advantages, but it also has disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that Wubao has formed a relatively closed model, which allows local rural gentry and powerful families to exercise political power.

In many cases, "imperial power does not go to the countryside", or it is called "national power does not go to the counties", which is pretty much what it means anyway. It seems to have become a Chinese truth and an endless cycle.

After entering the county system, the two extremes of counties basically became the template for later Chinese dynasties. Although there were some changes in names or geographical divisions, overall the administrative regions

The division still does not break away from the scope of the county system.

At the same time, the struggle for power in the past dynasties was mostly concentrated at the county and county levels. Although various grassroots organizations were set up in various dynasties below the county level, most of them were township officials or servants, and their functions were mostly related to taxation and public security.

Mainly, it is generally not regarded as an official system, but it does not mean that the imperial power has given up authority at the county and township levels from beginning to end...

For the imperial power, it is eager to extend its authority to every corner, and even wants to spread from the material level to the spiritual level.

It's just that due to various restrictions on the cost of governance and the number of officials, counties and townships are allowed to take care of themselves to a certain extent, or they can be assisted by squires. However, as long as the squire's authority exceeds the scope of the county and township, most of the time

, will immediately be suppressed by the imperial power.

Once the imperial power showed tolerance or was weak to the tyranny of the squire, the squire would tyrannize even more next time and even begin to usurp the authority of the imperial power over the counties. This led to a large number of "cruel officials" during the Western Han Dynasty.

Focused on suppressing local powerful people, even at the expense of bloodshed. After repeated purges, by the late Western Han Dynasty, at least at the spiritual level, they had become unified...

Anyone who offends a strong man will be killed no matter how far away he is.

The word "criminal" is not divided into internal and external aspects.

Unfortunately, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the new emperor Quan Guangwu relied on the power of local gentry and powerful families to rise to power. He was somewhat deficient in nature. Coupled with the lack of effective control methods, the power of the gentry, rural gentry and local powerful people continued to expand.

Taking advantage of the decline in government authority or even its withdrawal, large and small forts were built across the Central Plains.

These Wubao can be said to be miniature separatist regimes, which invisibly fragmented the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty into pieces. It was no longer possible to make a strong voice like the Western Han Dynasty.

Although there were measures to recover the Western Regions at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in fact it was not so much the expansion of the Western Regions as it was the final glory of the Kansai gentry family. After this group of people finally died, the Shandong gentry took control of the government.

, became the winner, and also ruined the Eastern Han Dynasty's Western Frontier.

Therefore, Fei Qian is currently patrolling Hedong, and Zhang Shi was previously sent to Hedong to investigate the case, which means that Fei Qian has begun to exercise authority and suppress Hedong's previously relatively free and independent behavior, and even some trespassing behaviors.

Just like Fei Qian's previous suppression actions against Sanfu in Guanzhong.

It has nothing to do with emotions or human relations, only politics.

This is Fei Qian's authority, but it does not mean that Hedong people are willing to accept it, especially those who have been suppressed or will be suppressed...

The first to bear the brunt are naturally the big households in Hedong.

Just like Fei Qianqiang in the Sanfu area of ​​​​Guanzhong, mainly targeting large households, this time in Hedong, the main targets were at the level of large households.

The political level of the big family is very embarrassing. On the one hand, they can call the shots and dominate the country in the countryside, but if they leave the area where they are, they are nothing. Anyone who is bigger than him is useless.

You can pinch their noses, bend them when you ask them to bend over, and stick out their buttocks when you ask them to. It may seem very pitiful, but in fact, these wealthy squires are not worthy of pity at all.

It's very simple. A noble family that can be on the stage needs some reputation, and at least they are a little more restrained on the surface. As for the big families, because fame is not easy to come by, so they often have to settle for the second best.

"Profit"! And once you fall into the stage of just seeking profit, what else can you do by cheating, abducting, stealing, etc.?

Of course, it is not easy to distinguish between aristocratic families and wealthy families in the strict sense, because there are also many wealthy families within aristocratic families, and wealthy families may turn into aristocratic families.

But now Fei Qian's classification of the large households in Hedong to be cleaned up is very simple.

Not standing in the right position, not knowing how to advance or retreat...
