Chapter 2399: Balance with balance(1/2)
When the sunset was hanging in the sky, Ni Heng was sitting in a donkey cart to go home.
If we compare the current transportation tools of the Han Dynasty with later generations, then owning horses is equivalent to owning private vehicles in later generations. Private vehicles in later generations need to pay vehicle and ship tax, pay road maintenance fees, annual inspection fees, and maintenance at all times. Adding fuel every few days is quite expensive. The same is true for horses in the Han Dynasty.

Ni Heng is famous, but he doesn't have much money and can't save much money, so he can only get a ride when going out, and it can't be a high-end taxi, but can only be a donkey cart.
The cheapest.
But even the cheapest donkey cart, Ni Heng sat upright, just like sitting in a high-end canopy cart.
In the Sanfu field, in addition to the working farmers and women, there were also some captured war criminals and prisoners. These people were basically wearing shackles and their faces were numb. Every time they took a step, the iron chains under their feet would rustle.
Ni Heng should not pity these people. Although Ni Heng has a lot of sympathy sometimes, it does not mean that Ni Heng's sympathy will be used on these prisoners of war slaves.
The Han Dynasty still had some slavery, and these prisoners of war who could plow the fields were relatively lucky. At least they would not have any danger of life, and those who did not know anything, knew neither handcraft nor were good at animal husbandry, would be sent to the mines with only one strength.
Every year, some such slaves die silently, and some slaves escape from the sea of suffering and become so-called residents of the Han Dynasty and those with green cards. If you want to become a real Han citizen, you can only exchange military merits for it.
At least under the rule of the cavalry, this is true.
This is the "Prison of War Law" issued by General Cavalry a long time ago. Even Ni Heng, who likes to argue, thinks it makes sense. These rebellions in the surrounding areas have triggered various wars, which makes it necessary for the Han Dynasty to put in iron and blood to calm down. If you just behead these guys, it would undoubtedly be too cheap for these guys. From the standpoint of a Han man, as long as the Han Dynasty has the power to suppress these slaves, such rules must be implemented.
Because the winner is a great Han, if the winner is these Hu people, then the ones who become slaves and are called as cattle and sheep will be Han people.
Many times, this world does not exist for the word fairness.
The suffering brought by the Huns has been tasted countless times before, so Ni Heng did not have any intention of sympathizing with these people. Ni Heng believed that if these Hu people in the desert were the prevailing parties, these guys would have only done more than that.
Ni Heng enjoyed the current great man. At least, he saw the strength of the great man, rather than only seeing the corruption of the great man.
This made his originally distorted cognition somewhat restore some.
Next to the official road not far away was a thick wooden stake, with a person hanging on it, or in the shape of a person. The corpse had long been rotten, and the flesh on its body was almost eaten by various scavenging animals, leaving only bones.
If there is oppression, there is naturally resistance. These are escaped slaves. If they are caught, they will be hung on such wooden pillars and placed in front of the rest of the slaves.
This method of admonition is more effective than the principle of telling these slaves a thousand times and ten thousand times.
Ni Heng claimed to be a person who was full of compassion for the world, but his mercy was only directed at the Han people, not including these Hu people, because it was very simple. Ni Heng was a Han people. Eat the Han people's food, drink the Han people's water, wear the Han people's clothes, and take the Han people's salary. Everything Ni Heng was closely related to the Han people, and then put down the bowls and chopsticks to speak for the Hu people, and turned around and insulted the Han people. Ni Heng could not do it.
Therefore, at present, even if Ni Heng is sometimes unwilling to admit it, he cannot ignore the merits of General Cavalry.
Because these merits are placed alive in front of Ni Heng.
The expedition during the Han Dynasty was actually an adventure.
The unknown distance, unknown roads, unknown enemies, and unknown dangers are always testing the Han people's endurance. However, General Fei Qian of the Cavalry is repeatedly challenging the Han people's endurance. The key is that General Fei Qian of the Cavalry is actually successful!
If you succeed once, it can be called luck naturally. Then you stand up and say that the General of the Cavalry should not be careless in a short time, and you cannot ignore the risks just because of one success. War is a major matter for the country, and so on.
Anyway, this is a person who can squirt when he opens his mouth, but after General Cavalry succeeds again and again, these mouths slap and close them.
Then even Ni Heng shut up.
Now no one dares to argue about the expedition of the cavalry.
Just as there are not many people who dare to criticize General Husband's policies at present.
Fear of being slapped in the face.
It hurts.
Therefore, even if Fei Qian ordered Yun Er to be responsible for the distribution of places related to Qinglong Temple, no one jumped out to object. Then these guys looked at Ni Heng, and wanted Ni Heng to come forward and cause trouble.
But this time, Ni Heng, who has recovered somewhat, is not so easy to be deceived. After all, I suffered a loss once in Yecheng before, so I still have to have a better memory, right?
What's more, Fei Qian's straight hook fishing is not once or twice...
Although Ni Heng also looked down on Yun Er a little.
Yun Er is a rough man!
When we meet, we are just looking at what you look at. We are fighting each other in three sentences, and eating and drinking each sentence.
But such a rough man was sent to Qinglong Temple to participate in the so-called argumentative system, which was obviously a problem. Jiang Taigong fell out of fishing for so long before he caught King Wen of Zhou. Fei Qian, a fishing like a straight hook, did not abide by the Basic Law.
But the question is, is Fei Qian doing this too much?
It seems that there is no problem either.
In Qinglong Temple, the site was built by Fei Qian, and everything about the bricks, stones, wooden beams is paid by Fei Qian. So is it normal for Fei Qian to collect some usage fees? Who to send to collect this fee? Is it also Fei Qian's final say?
Therefore, after Yun Er arrived, someone immediately guessed the intention of the cavalry, and even felt that this arrangement represented the direction of the next stage...
In fact, Fei Qian's idea is still the same as before, and he has obtained the support of the real docile, or artificially screened out the docile. Like some officials, they cannot be busy with their country, do their best to do their best, but work hard and gain nothing, and gain all their merits are occupied by others. They cannot let some officials rely on bragging and connections to eat oil, but they are not allowed to do anything at all.
Ni Heng was smart and didn't say anything.
The rest of the people will not be the first to jump out and openly compete.
Everyone watched, waited, and looked forward to the first person to fight against Fei Qian.
Who will it be?
Ni Heng is also considering this issue.
Perhaps it is those who say they are not generous enough, not kind enough, and do not reflect the grandeur of the Han Dynasty all day long?
Sometimes Ni Heng also wondered whether it was a bit too much for the Cavalry to do this, or that the Cavalry regarded these gentry children as nothing? But when you think about it, you can understand that Yun Er was not responsible for the distribution of all places in Qinglong Temple, but he was only responsible for the distribution of places involving the "Sacred virtue", "mercy", "tolerance", etc., which involved the "Corruption Law".
So even if Fei Qian doesn’t set up obstacles for these guys through Yun Er, would these guys say good things to Fei Qian and express their support for Fei Qian’s “Law of Corruption”?
Obviously, it won't.
Pang Tong has been taking people with him in the past few days to deal with these officials and local powerful households who violated the "Corruption Law". The lightest ones pay fines, the worse ones confiscate the property, and the more serious ones are the landing of the heads.
After all, Pang Tong was named Si Zhi, so he also needed to do this kind of thing. The money he collected became the next wave of additional investment in public projects such as road construction, expansion of wharf bridges, etc., and what is even more excessive is that these additional investment projects are like a newly built manor next to Feixiongxuan, with the title of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It even made some children of the gentry choked, unable to speak or vomit.
In the past, building bridges and roads was a great merit, and it was remembered by the villagers. Now, thousands of people are trampling on them, so it’s so awkward.
This is the situation Ni Heng saw. The Cavalry's straight hook fishing was really too obvious, and he didn't catch anything at all...
Or it has been caught and it is so painful.
After all, Fei Qian had the power of the army. The look of hissing and blue veins pounding when all the soldiers shouted "The Cavalry is Victory", made every child of the gentry know in his heart that as long as these soldiers are loyal to the Cavalry and Fei Qian, then what Fei Qian said is, he wants to chop someone's head, even if he dies, he will chop it again.
This is not a joke.
Zhang Jiao died and dragged out of the coffin to whip the corpse. Although the command of General Cavalry was not so exaggerated, his soldiers still refused to detain them when executing orders...
Ni Heng heard that a guy in Longxi was involved with the Zhao family in Linjing. When he found out that he was too old to withstand fright, or he was already sick, but before he came out, he was scared to death and was sentenced to death. He was really dragged out of his body and still had his head cut off.
But the question is, Ni Heng couldn't understand how Fei Qian could confirm the loyalty of these soldiers, and could it be sustained?
Fei Qian naturally wanted to get the questions that Ni Heng could think of.
『Go to the martial arts lecture hall!』
Fei Qian led the guards out of the city and went to the martial arts lecture hall.
The original martial arts lecture hall was not big, but later, because more and more people participated in the martial arts lecture hall, the Third Ring Road moved to outside the Fifth Ring Road.
The newly built martial arts hall was built from the original Chang'an old camp, covering a very large area. There is also a huge schoolyard next to the martial arts hall, which can be used to order soldiers and perform martial arts. There are walls around it, and there is a hope tower above the walls. It is basically built according to the layout of a military fortress. After entering the gate, there is a large square. Behind the square are four rows of two-story buildings, which can accommodate 1,200 people.
Behind the four dormitory buildings is a functional area, including the original lecture halls, exhibition halls, as well as the sacrificial wine halls, doctoral accommodation and office areas in the martial arts hall, as well as two canteens, one large and one small, one small, and other supporting facilities.
The chief of the martial arts lecture hall was naturally the General Fei Qian of the Cavalry.
The general's offering of wine is not fixed. It was Xu Huang before, but now Xu Huang will go to Sichuan and Shu in the next stage, so Fei Qian is preparing to transfer Zhang Liao to serve as the general's offering of wine for a period of time. Most of the things Xu Huang said before were infantry combat, array arrangement, mutual cooperation, and mobilization of flags and drums. In the next stage, Zhang Liao will be the main tendency to talk about some cavalry tactics, searching for opportunities in front of the formation, etc.
Anyway, different generals naturally have different focus.
If it were Wei Yan, it would be basically a mountain war and a surprise attack...
As for the instructors in the martial arts hall, in principle, they are middle-aged non-commissioned officers who retired from various generals. As these non-commissioned officers get older, their strength to fight will inevitably decline due to their age. However, their experience in battle formations has become increasingly rich with age, so it is actually a very good arrangement to let these middle-aged non-commissioned officers serve as teachers.
Fei Qian checked the students' dormitories, mainly bedding and bedding. The previous group of students had left and was now preparing to welcome a new group of students. Therefore, these things were left unused for a long time, so they could easily cause mold or become paradises for animals such as mice.
But, overall, it looks pretty good.
At least it is not the kind of response method that is under the surprise inspection. It is the kind of clean that people do clean and maintain on weekdays. There is some dust in some places, which is harmless, but there is no trace left by the surrounding area because they know that Fei Qian is coming.
In later generations, when superiors inspected the companies or institutions below, they always had to do some cleaning. However, it is obvious that not all cleanings can dry quickly. No water stains can be left on the second day or the third day. Then the problem arises. Did the superiors see this temporary cleaning water stain, or did they see it, or did not see it?
Fei Qian looked and walked slowly inward.
Fei Qian once considered the political commissar system in later generations and extended his control to the grassroots level of soldiers. However, after careful consideration, Fei Qian gave up this idea. Although this idea is indeed very attractive, this idea is actually the same as most historical measures, with both pros and cons.
So it’s better to just use the martial arts lecture hall.
The military supervision system in the Han Dynasty was also very complex.
For example, the transfer of grain and grass for large troops to travel, military equipment, arrows, crossbows, etc., was the responsibility of the eunuchs in the Luoyang Palace, but the local prefect could also privately collect a certain amount of military food and equipment. In other words, during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, if a general wanted to marching and fight, if he wanted the court to transport grain and grass and equip the equipment, he had to go through careful review by eunuchs like Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and then he could transfer and allocate.
If local military generals do not need to transfer food and grass to the court to fight, and local counties and warehouses can meet their military needs, they only need to be reviewed by the local prefect and the governor of the state, and then reported to the three dukes of the court.
This military supervision system looks very good, but in fact it is basically equal to zero.
Therefore, there will be eighteen princes against Dong Zhuo...
The local authority is too great, so it is reversed if you say something.
To be continued...
