Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1121 is almost done

  The wind is light and the snow is long, but the conversation between the three of Fei Qian is still going on.

What Fei Qian said, although Pang Tong and Xu Shu are not very clear about it, and they don't have a relatively complete concept of the authenticity of this world map, but it does not prevent Pang Tong and Xu Shu from keeping such knowledge in their minds first. Then check and improve slowly in the future.

  It can be said that the outstanding gentry children of the Han Dynasty had a perception of new things and an attitude towards learning that even many people in later generations may not be able to achieve. Some people in later generations prefer to put themselves in a superior position. With only knowledge, they are very willing, actively put hats on others, define them, and at the same time put on a look that they think highly of you Just say that your posture comes out, and then you can get a sense of superiority and satisfaction in psychology...

As for Xu Shu and Pang Tong, although they are not in the so-called Confucian tradition, although they are puzzled by Fei Qian's rhetoric, they still accept it humbly. Drawn in the center of the map, it means some kind of psychological or physical discomfort.

  Pang Tong looked at the world map and said: "I once thought that there were only nine states in the world, but now it seems that there are more than nine states in the world, and there are ninety-nine states..."

Xu Shu also nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's a pity...the road is so far away, the mountains are high and the water is far away...The imperial court also expanded the Western Regions, but the supervision and protection of the Western Regions did not last long...Although the world is huge, the manpower is limited. At that time, I don't know when I will be able to sit on this world as Shi Yuan said, um, ninety-nine states..."

Fei Qian nodded and said: "Knowing how big the world is, Fang Ming knows how small he is. Taking out this picture today is not to immediately arrange a conquest and plunder, but to let the two of you know, don't be fooled by the small space in front of you." Restraint, the world is so big, as long as we are willing, there is nowhere to go!"

  In ancient feudal dynasties, most of the grassroots structures of the dynasties collapsed due to a large number of land annexations. The imperial power needs more free people in order to provide sufficient national taxation, but the power of the big landlords and the gentry mainly hopes to get more tax-free land and more tenant farmers to obtain wealth. From this perspective , the imperial power and the power of the prime minister are opposites.

   However, it is not irreconcilable.

  The three generations of military meritorious land tax system introduced by Feiqian is the same model as the Tweet Order in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, except that it has been expanded from vassal kings to all people. Since even the princes and grandchildren of royal nobles and vassals need to be favored to enjoy preferential treatment, how can ordinary gentry people not need military titles to have all the rights to the land for a long time?

Therefore, when Feiqian launched the system of land taxation for military meritorious service, although there were some opinions, firstly, there were not too many noble families in the north, and secondly, because of the precedent of the Hanwu government, it was basically implemented without much effort. resistance.

But in the future, it is not only about merging with the north, but also promoting it in Zuo Fengyi. It is conceivable that there will definitely be some obstacles from the original gentry in the relationship, so naturally it is necessary to make an ideological decision with Xu Shu first. Corresponding communication and unification.

  Especially as Zuo Fengyi's policy executor, he must fully understand Feiqian's current governance goals and future direction, so that there will be no problems in implementation. Anyway, didn't later generations often say that if you want to achieve performance, you should hold a meeting first?

  What is the purpose of the meeting, is to unify the mind.

Fei Qian looked at Xu Shu and said: "However, what Yuan Zhi said is also reasonable. If you want to take the land of the world, you can't use the ancient method... In the so-called ancient times, the land was only hundreds of miles around, and the people were only thousands of people. Now The territory of the Great Han Dynasty is tens of thousands of miles, and the number of people is measured in tens of millions, so how can we talk about it in the same way?"

"The same is true of the law. The ancients' laws were created by the ancients at the right time. How can people today be immutable and copy them?" Fei Qian smiled, and then said, "I have heard that someone said that the sages talk about righteousness, and everything in the world covers everything. , accepting everything, and asking the words of the sages to assist in everything... Therefore, the ancient law cannot be the law of the present, and it cannot be the law of the ages. It is determined by the time and is the right way..."

It’s not that ancient books are unreliable, but that even the history books of the Han Dynasty that have been inherited and written by special families have many superficial things, not to mention the so-called books compiled by later generations in areas with cultural faults or so-called So-and-so history book.

   Now in the Han Dynasty, I see many things that I have never seen in history books before, and I understand things that were never clear in later generations. Fei Qian's concept is also changing a little bit.

Very simple things, for example, history books will write how many wars there were in the Han Dynasty, how many battles there were, who the generals were, and what the results were, but basically they will not write why this war was launched at that time, and what was involved in it Pros and cons...

  The text always seems to be about the number of troops sent, victory or defeat, and then how much food and grass were used, and how many soldiers were killed or injured, but the meaning of the battle is rarely involved, basically nothing.

Why can the Han people shout the slogan of a strong man? Perhaps Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was just an introduction, which ignited the entire hatred value, especially in Bingbei, where Fei Qian really realized the hatred of the Han Dynasty people for the barbarians who went south to plunder , This kind of hatred has even continued to this day, especially in Feiqian's war against Xianbei, when those captured Xianbei were used as hard labor, no one would talk to Feiqian about human rights, freedom, Equality of talent or something, I will only talk about how many people are needed here, and how many people are needed here, as if these are not people but goods...

And among these Xianbei slaves, it seems that very few people will jump out, or secretly say that they want equality, freedom, human rights, etc. Most of them only care about how much strength they have sold in front of them. How much food there is, as for human rights and so on, what is the future, etc., for these Xianbei slaves, they are all fart-like things, leaving nothing but a smell.

  Most Han people in Bingbei, especially those farmers, think that using Xianbei slaves as a substitute for labor is a great good governance of Feiqian, and they support it 100%, hoping that Feiqian can continue to maintain it.

   This is the difference in time, which leads to differences in people's concepts.

   But will these things be written in history books?

  Regardless of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, when recording history or people, instead of machines that always only have 0 and 1 to do such things, there will inevitably be emotions and trade-offs, and even cover-ups and modifications.

The Dawan battle that Pang Tong mentioned before, most of the official history said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to ask for a blood-sweat BMW, and then he built a golden BMW of the same size and asked the envoy to bring it to Dawan to buy a sweat-blood BMW. Not only did the country not agree, but the Han envoys sent to rob first and then rob, or kill first and then rob. Anyway, they failed to come back, so Emperor Wu of the Han became furious and sent soldiers and generals to conquer the Western Regions.

   But actually?

   After thinking about it for a while, I know how heavy a golden horse of the same size is, even if it shrinks in size, it is about one cubic meter, one cubic meter of gold...

Then it needs to be transported from Chang'an to the Western Regions, how many people are needed to carry such a weight, as long as there are potholes on the road, and then the roads in the early Han Dynasty, whether it is a two-wheeled carriage or an ox cart, if it encounters some muddy ground On bad roads, no matter how you move it into the car, when the wheels are stuck, should these folks be able to carry at least 20 tons of weight?

   Well, it’s not gold, it’s brass, so one cubic meter of brass is about two and a half tons!

   Then the Han historian recorded that such a "golden horse" was taken as a gift, and it was successfully brought to Central Asia. Then the king of Dawan cheated, not only killed the Han envoy, but also robbed the goods.

So according to the temperament of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, even if there is such a thing, this so-called golden horse is likely not only not gold, but also hollow copper, just a thin layer of copper on the outside. This is going to be exchanged for the national treasure of Dawan...

  So the official historian will write all the truth in the history books?

  Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty actually forced the Western Regions to break with the Xiongnu, and then became a vassal of the Han family, showing his own muscles, but what falls above the green bamboo is always the text that has been weighed.

  The official ones have been edited and modified, so what about the private ones?

  The same is true of folk, even more powerful.

The folk history of China is called unofficial history by orthodox historians, and they don’t take it seriously at all. However, according to this statement, because the kingdoms in the West often change, most of these so-called histories are people in the church. Records, so in fact, from this perspective, most of the early history of the West is folk unofficial history...

There is a saying that the Bible is actually a folk version of history books before the Middle Ages, but the Qur’an says that the group of damned apostates who wrote the Bible have tampered with the language of God, and then they hold the people in the Bible and say those white hats Guys sometimes say that their gods created the world in two days, and then they said it took four days, and some said it took six months. Even this is not clear, so what a joke...

   Is that history true?

   Which statement is correct?

  It is correct if it matches everything you have learned and understood?

   Does not conform to your old habits, is it wrong if you don’t adapt?

  If this is the case, how is it different from those dull and acidic Confucians in ancient times?

  The world is very big, Fei Qian intends to see it for himself, even if he can’t see it, he can still spread these things so that future generations can see and understand. Fei Qian felt that this might be the real meaning of his coming to the Han Dynasty, not how many women he robbed or how much land he occupied.

  Of course, Fei Qian feels that the most important thing now is to change people’s thinking, the thinking of the nobles in the Han Dynasty, and guide them to lift up and cast, from staring at their feet to looking out...

   But this road is relatively difficult.

Just like someone once said, in fact, nothing in the world is better than changing a person's thinking. When a person's thinking forms a certain structure and gets used to a certain logic, no matter what external stimuli it is, it will cause this person to change his mind. Subconsciously use the original structure and logic to analyze these things. If it does not conform to this structure and logic, it will be rejected by it. It is not even willing to discuss and inquire a little bit, just thinking about rejecting it all.

  Because it can save things.

But on the whole, Xu Shu and Pang Tong's performance made Fei Qian feel very good, at least it didn't require Fei Qian to use much effort to explain that China is not the center of the world, and there is no need to explain why the outline of the world is like this appearance…

  And these problems are things that Fei Qian can only use the words "almost" and "probably" to cover up and prevaricate.

Xu Shu is really thinking about Fei Qian's words seriously, there is no sign of the so-called obedience and indifference, and even Pang Tong, who has little relationship with Zuo Fengyi, is seriously discussing and studying what Fei Qian said at the moment administrative action.

"The world is big enough to hold ten times the number of Han people, so there is no need for you to fight and entangle in the current land... With the same force, perhaps in China, you can only get one city and one county, but in foreign regions, you can get ten times. The Land of Doubling!" Fei Qian clicked on the land of the Western Regions, and said, "Dawan claims to have 60,000 victorious soldiers, and then, it was killed by the Second Division until it lost its helmet and armor, and almost destroyed the country... and the soldiers of the Second Division, originally Why the person, presumably the two of you also know..."

"In all the land of the Han Dynasty, the laws of the Han Dynasty are followed. The vassal king Tweet, the doctor and the military lord, if they want to get the land, there is no reward other than to open up the land!" Fei Qian tapped the table case lightly, and said, "If things go on like this , whether it be you or me, or your descendants, you can watch the waves in the East China Sea, ride horses in the Western Regions, cross the southern border, and herd in the northern desert!"

   Only the poor treatment of internal and external policies can stimulate the development of this gentry son who is already a little bit **** in Huaxia, which is naturally more beneficial to the Han Empire.

   "Therefore, the land of Guanzhong, within Zuo Fengyi, may also carry out and merge Beitian Fu, three generations of military meritorious decrees, etc., and there is no room for loss... Yuan Zhi, this is not easy, can you do it?"

Fei Qian's meaning is very simple, that is, there is a lot of land in the world, and if you don't have it here, you can get it elsewhere. Occupying land in the Central Plains will not only be sanctioned by the imperial power, but also be punished by Fei Qian, a three-generation military lord who is similar to the Tweet Order However, the land outside the territory of the Han Dynasty did not have so many restrictions.

   Of course, being outward means facing risks directly.

However, Fei Qian has never advocated getting something for nothing, and even emphasized in many cases how much you can get as much as you pay. This concept is also consistent with the concept of most gentry children in the Han Dynasty. He tied his head to his belt every day and fought **** battles just to kill a soldier of his birth.

If such an administrative strategy is really implemented, problems will inevitably arise when the empire cannot control its territory, just like the Anlu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty, but this is indeed one of the future directions of history, just like the expansion of the Han Dynasty. The circle, Tang expanded a circle, and Ming expanded a circle, and then the brain twitched guy in the Ming Dynasty said that he wanted to close the country, and then it was lost in the hands of Qing.

Just like the so-called performance cures all diseases in later generations, as long as the empire is on the rise, even if there are problems, it will quickly find a way to solve them. The offal is dragged into the abyss.

  Xu Shu was silent for a long time, thought for a while, and then said: "I would like to follow the order of the emperor, and Zuo Fengyi will carry out the administration of the emperor, army, and land. If there is slack, I will be punished."

  How could there be no difficulty?

   It's just that since Fei Qian has already said this, Xu Shu can only do his best to do it. If there are any difficulties encountered in the actual implementation, then the specific problems will be solved at that time.

   But Pang Tong, who was at the side, had some other problems.

This time Pang Tong came from Jingxiang, in fact, the big reason was that Fei Qian and North had a good business, and it was very good, beyond what most people could understand and predict, and naturally it fell to the leader of Pang Degong In the eyes of the Jingxiang gentry. Although Bingbei is far away, the Jingxiang gentry are not too willing to abandon their hometown and come to Bingbei, but it does not mean that these Jingxiang gentry have no side branches, and there are no people like Pang Tong, the son of Acacia Pang Degong...

Therefore, Pang Tongtong made it very clear to Fei Qian at the beginning that he was a guest official, and he was equivalent to an investigation representative of Jingxiang, who came to observe and study how Fei Qian made such achievements in Bingbei, and then according to Under the circumstances, the Jingxiang gentry will think whether they want to enter the angel wheel or the devil wheel or something.

  In this Han Dynasty, no one was stupid. No one with a numerical value above 90 would come to work for his life because of one sentence, one meal, and then he would sell his property and abandon his family with all his heart.

  So Pang Tong needs to go a step further, to understand how Fei Qian rose...

   Even replaced the Jingxiang gentry to master the mysteries.

But the problem is that although Pang Tong is smart, he still doesn't understand many things, such as economics, game theory, the simplest positive reaction of bad money and good money, broken window effect, etc., he doesn't know anything. , so I don’t even understand why Pingyang is like a magnet, attracting not only the Hu people, but also the wealth from Hedong, Guanzhong, and even Jizhou, Jingxiang and other regions...

  The most important thing is, it seems that I haven't seen any special decrees and measures made by Fei Qian?

When Pang Tong tried to raise this question, he originally estimated that Fei Qian might not say it, or he would not say it clearly. After all, in Pang Tong's concept, if he couldn't see clearly or understand something, he would It can be called something like a secret technique...

   And such things are never taught easily, so Pang Tong just tried it, but he didn’t expect Fei Qian to laugh, and then said: "This is actually not difficult... You have almost seen it..."

almost?

  Pang Tong was going crazy, what is almost, and he said it was all in front of him, so he saw it all, but he couldn’t understand it?

   What did you see?

   What can you understand?

"Ahhh!" Pang Tong, who felt that his IQ had been insulted, jumped up unconvinced, and shouted, "Yuanzhi, look at what he said, as if we are stupid people, even if we put them in front of us I can’t even understand it! Yuanzhi, you judge a certain person! Is there such a person!”

There are many ways to read history. It is not terrible to have one more point of view. What is terrible is to start from only one point of view and completely deny different views. Then, even if this point of view is correct, it will kill the existence of history due to its narrowness. meaning.

   Because reading history is not only to know the truth and gain experience, but also because we are human beings with never-tiring curiosity, and we want to gain warmth, love, respect, tolerance and fun from history.

   It is my honor to thank those who read the author Jundi's novel as a thesis.
