Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2586 Man is stronger than sky

  Chang'an.

   When he received the news that Cao Cao's party was conducting a large-scale investigation of officials and spies, Fei Qian was a little surprised.

  Pigeon Express, the mission must be achieved.

  It's a pity that those eyeliners can't be packed at once, and sent back to Chang'an by express...

  In history, Cao Cao does not seem to have done such a thing.

  I don't know if such a change should be considered a good thing or a bad thing.

  However, the investigation of spies and spies under Cao Cao’s rule did bring some danger to Fei Qian’s eyeliner sent to Cao Cao.

"The order, those who have not been exposed, should hide for a while, don't act rashly," Fei Qian told Pang Tong, "I guess the prime minister's move is just a gust of wind, and it can't last long... Besides, let Changshan Taiyuan, Tongguan Hangu, Wancheng of Wuguan is ready to mobilize some capable soldiers, and if necessary, small troops can be dispatched to support them, um, just in the name of patrolling and hunting...』

  Pang Tong nodded and wrote it down.

  Now there is only so much that Fei Qian can do for these guys.

"By the way, Derun," Fei Qian was silent for a while, hesitating a little, but still turned his head and said to Kan Ze, "If someone is really arrested, most of them will be arrested and transported to Xu County, where they will be put in prison for strict interrogation ...If it is said that his words are not strict and involve too much, so that others are in danger... On the one hand, the relevant people must be notified in time, on the other hand...』

  Kan Ze comprehended, and answered with hands clasped: "Your servant should inform the Operations Department, so that people can get ready." 』

   Fei Qian nodded slightly.

   Such an order may kill some people, but it will also protect the survival of some people.

  Fei Qian has to think about issues like this almost every day, and sometimes has to give up some, including some of his own original cognition and emotion.

   Directly send troops to Cao Cao to support him?

   Like saving private?

  Even Mi Gou knows that it’s a movie. There are millions of rice worms dead in the later generations of the United States, and they don't even move their brows. They still count on the real show in the movie?

   To save people, of course I will do it.

   But there is also a degree.

   It is like the humane spirit that existed in ancient China.

  『When a father and son are both in the army, the father returns; when brothers are in the army, the older brother returns; when an only son has no brothers, he returns. ’ The battle still needs someone to fight, not to say that everyone should go home for the so-called “humanitarianism”. This is what Wei Wuji said, recorded in Shiji, and later often used by Chinese generals in other eras.

   Huaxia has always had such a spirit, but it is not as loud as the United States. Actually speaking, isn't this better than Mi Guo knowing that all three of his brothers have served and pretending to be confused and sending them to the battlefield? The so-called adaptation of real events means that the fact that the three brothers all went to the battlefield is true, and those that follow are adaptations.

  So I have to admire that in some respects, the later generations of the United States have long suppressed China in the spiritual battlefield. And after Huaxia was beaten up all over, some people even developed Stockholm syndrome...

  Fei Qian believes that this is because of the lack of education.

  In addition, there are some people who will intentionally or unintentionally generalize, grasp a little bit of problem and magnify it infinitely, and then talk about some facts instead of words to confuse the facts...

   It’s like saving these people, of course it will be done, but there will always be people who say why not send a plane? After the plane was dispatched, some people said that my husband, my father, whoever I am is in a certain position, and I want to give priority to it. Why should the common people be in front of me...

  Officials are always a very important part of politics.

  Human civilization is always progressing through continuous development, and China is no exception. In this process, excellent talents are an indispensable part of the development process, so a good talent training and selection system is particularly important.

  Cultivation involves the education system.

  Selection is naturally related to the bureaucratic system.

  The education system affects the bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy also affects the education system. Therefore, in later generations, it often seems to be a question of a schoolboy, calling a beast, or some teacher's morality, or some book, but in fact, what is involved is not only the education system.

  What Feiqian wants to do now is to build a system.

  The bureaucratic system also includes the educational system.

  China has a long history and culture. In order to ensure that outstanding talents can always contribute to the construction of the country, successive dynasties have been constantly exploring and improving the talent selection system.

  From the early hereditary system, the system of supporting scholars to the examination system of the Han Dynasty, to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the later imperial examination system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all of them are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors.

   It’s like scolding the previous few steamed buns for parallel imports when you’re full after eating the last steamed bun. Without the exploration and research of generations, who would know what model should be used to select talents?

  Fei Qian wanted to implement the imperial examination system earlier. Because the imperial examination system has been proven to be effective, and it is a talent selection system that has had a huge influence in China and has continued to be used even in later generations.

  To open up people's wisdom, it is easy to shout slogans, but it is difficult to implement them concretely.

   To a certain extent, the imperial examination is to open up the wisdom of the people to a certain extent.

  Knowledge was originally monopolized, and it has always been tried to monopolize.

   King Wen of Zhou killed the witch, allowing knowledge to "open the wisdom of the people" from the witch to the hands of the nobles.

  Then the nobles of the Spring and Autumn Period tried to monopolize knowledge, and then Qin Shihuang came on stage and beat the old nobles of the six countries to the point where they couldn’t take care of themselves, thus making knowledge transfer from the nobles to more aristocratic families...

  Fei Qian believes that, if nothing else, the expansion of knowledge, that is, "opening people's wisdom", is such a repeated development, evolution and diffusion. It is constantly trying to be monopolized by the existing class in control, constantly greedily absorbing excess benefits, and at the same time being demanded by a wider range. At a certain irreconcilable moment, a huge conflict breaks out, and the original monopoly class is killed. Overturned, hung on the street lamps, and then expanded to a wider area, and then gradually new ones grew out of the ruins, a little more than the previous group, and a new monopoly class emerged.

  This is the process of "opening people's wisdom" confirmed by Fei Qian.

   And this process is irreversible. That is similar to entropy increase.

  Because humans are curious.

So in later generations, there will be those who monopolize knowledge and master the media, simply use spam, boring videos, and the push of big data to make it take up the time that humans should have acquired knowledge through curiosity to delay this "entropy increase" process".

  But some people will wake up, not everyone is willing to lie flat, even if they verbally say they want to lie flat, or even flatten...

   Fei Qian asked Kan Ze to go to work, and then asked Pang Tong to call some key figures for a meeting.

  At least, among the people surrounding Fei Qian at the moment, no one lay flat.

  『After the spring plowing, the imperial examination must be implemented in all counties. Fei Qian said slowly, "Only the county-level imperial examination system can last for a long time. 』

  Fei Qian first made a general request, and then explained: "The reason why the former Qin Dynasty won the six kingdoms was the military rank. The people of Qin are all vying for the first place, but only the princes of the six countries are fighting for the first place. 』

  Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. The system of the Qin Dynasty at that time was the real OnLine version of the upgrading of all people fighting monsters.

  From pushing small monsters, to elite monsters, and then to overthrowing the six big bosses, Qin Shihuang once wanted to find the next target of the Huns, but unfortunately he failed to transfer the battlefield...

  In different stages of history, individual rulers are different. The concept of "people", or the scope of its understanding, is always shaking and changing.

   It’s like growing up under the red flag in later generations, and some officials will naturally blurt out words such as "untouchable" and "untouchable people".

  When you find a cockroach in your home, it often means that there are more than a bunch. It's easy to kill a cockroach, but getting rid of them from your home is a challenge that skyrockets.

What Fei Qian can do is to talk more thoroughly with these big men's top think tanks at the beginning, and then make the protective net a little stronger, and then leave some methods that can be reinforced, prevented, and repaired , As for what it will look like after thousands of years, Fei Qian is not sure.

"In the former Qin Dynasty, Guanzhong, Sichuan and Shu were used to support the army, and the six kingdoms fought. The people did not have millet and wine, and the king did not get new clothes..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Now we use Hangu to occupy Shandong. Don't talk about you, just let us go." The people can also drink, and they can also get clothes for the New Year. Excuse me, why? 』

   Xun You said: "Gain's yield per mu is the same. Guan Zi said, "For a farmer's business, one hundred acres of land is plowed all year round, and the harvest of one hundred acres is only twenty minutes." The land of Qi and Lu is richer than Qin, and this is true, not to mention that there was no Zheng Guoqu in the pre-Qin period. ? 』

  Pang Tong on the other side also said: "The Qin Dynasty opened the Zhengguo Canal to irrigate more than 40,000 hectares of Zebrine land, and harvested one bell per mu. It was considered a grand event and added ink. However, there are many lands within one bell in Guanzhong, the east of the river, the right of the river, and the middle of Sichuan, Shu and Han, all of which have tens of thousands of hectares. 』

   Fei Qian nodded slowly.

  The rest basically agree with this statement.

  How much is the yield per mu in ancient Huaxia, because there is no specific literature, so it is impossible to know, but it is certainly not much. One is that the food cultivation system has not yet been established, and the other is that the production tools are still very low.

There are only general descriptions in ancient times. For example, there is a record in "Mencius": "One man eats a hundred mu, a hundred mu of dung, the first farmer eats nine people, the last time eats eight people, the middle eats seven people, the middle eats six people, and the next time eats six people." Five people. 』

  There are almost the same records in the Book of Rites, which shows that in the Spring and Autumn Period, this production standard was probably widely recognized. Calculated according to the medium-sized field, the production was about 80 to 110 kilograms.

   Of course, this is the tare weight.

  If the harvest in ancient China is shelled, it will lose 20%-30% of its weight.

The standard mentioned by Mencius is in Qilu, where the terrain is relatively flat and irrigation is convenient. At that time, the Qin State was Xirong, mostly nomadic, there was no Zhengguo Canal, and bronze wares were mainly used as weapons. Most of them can only use wooden sticks, wooden shovels, etc...

   During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, revolutionary changes took place in Huaxia agriculture, mainly reflected in the comprehensive development of iron ox farming and irrigation agriculture. During this period, many countries built many major irrigation projects, such as the Hangou dug by the State of Wu, the chasm dug by King Wei Hui of the State of Wei, the Twelve Canals of the Zhang River built by Ximen Bao of the State of Wei, Dujiangyan in Shu County of the State of Qin, Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong, Lingnan Canal in Qin Dynasty, Shaopi Project in Chu State, etc. The development of iron ox farming and irrigation agriculture has greatly improved agricultural productivity, which is directly reflected in the increase of average grain output.

  By the early Han Dynasty, it was basically one acre per acre, or even one and a half stones.

   Feiqian asked: "Since this is the case, how can the land increase its production?" 』

  『Haha, this is the four things of planting, fertilizing, irrigation, and plowing that can be increased, and the four things of cultivating, weeding, harvesting, and picking can be reduced. 』Zaozhi is of course very familiar with this, and said with a crackling pause.

   Fei Qian nodded again, and then asked: "So, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, did countries build water conservancy projects and develop agriculture and mulberry for the benefit of the people?" Why fight? Four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, water conservancy, farming and mulberry, what is the importance of the king? Or why do you take it lightly? 』

   Everyone thought about it.

  The answer to this question is not no, but it is not easy to answer.

   After all, the previous slogans were loud.

  『Therefore, the country must not forget the war. Fighting in heaven and earth, fighting inside and outside, it's all the same. Fei Qian said slowly, "If you know that there is a war, you can only pay attention to agriculture, mulberry and water conservancy, and understand its benefits, so that you can work together to move forward." 』

  『The Duke of Zhou Tian and Jing Tian was almost as private as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. The method of the former Qin Dynasty could defeat the armies of the six countries, but was defeated by the people of the six countries. Therefore, it is easy for those who win the army, but it is not easy for those who go against the people. Fei Qian looked at the crowd, "Therefore, this is the reason why the times have changed and how to keep pace with the times." The people of ancient times did slash-and-burn farming, but now cattle and iron plows, how can it be the same? In ancient times, the people were in poverty. There was nothing left in the fields, and the officials should do nothing to avoid chaos. Today, the people can have a surplus, have enough food and clothing, and think about honor and disgrace. This is the trend of the times and cannot be stopped. In the time of slashing and plowing in ancient times, there was no clothing and no food. Nowadays, no one in the world would like to do this? 』

  『Imperial examinations are also what the people want. If you go against it, you will perish, and if you follow it, you will survive. Fei Qian concluded, "Since the Han Dynasty, if the tiller has the land, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, the world will be peaceful, the Wenjing will be ruled, and Guangwu will be revived. Now that Guanzhong is victorious over Shandong, it is not because the people of Guanzhong have superpowers, it is because the people of Guanzhong are fighting for the first place, and in Shandong, only the sons of wealthy families are fighting for the first place...』

It is very difficult for Fei Qian to popularize a clear theory of productivity and production relations to these big men. After all, it took a long time for Fei Qian to barely understand the relevant issues of productivity and production relations, such as the force and reaction force when receiving education. , Then how can we expect people like big men who have no relevant concepts at all, who can speak two or three words, to suddenly understand and understand by analogy?

   Therefore, Fei Qian can only extend to the imperial examination system from the most basic, that is, what these people can directly observe, and the imperial examination system was indeed born gradually because of the development of productivity...

  The imperial examination is the political pursuit of a large number of children from poor families.

  The humble family is not really poor, but a small landlord.

The imperial examination system in history was born in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the emergence of a system must have certain conditions. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the landlord economy developed rapidly. In the process from war to stability, the society was stable, the economy was prosperous, and the country was prosperous. Under such an environment , the basic life of the small landlord was satisfied, and he began to yearn for politics.

  In order to ensure that their own interests are not arbitrarily deprived by the upper-level political groups, political representatives will inevitably be produced, and they will be required to be given political interests...

   This point is often seen even in later generations.

   Well, this refers to the United States.

  The meaning expressed by Fei Qian is not complicated, that is, the times are developing, and no one wants to go back to the ancient times to live a hard life.

  Officials are the same.

  Who, after becoming an official, still thinks he is a "people" and is willing to go back and be a "people"? Except for those few great men and a small number of officials with high faith values, I believe that most of the officials are unwilling to be killed.

  Fei Qian is no exception.

   There are also Pang Tong, Xun You, Sima Yi, etc., all of which are the same.

  Sometimes one step forward is life, but one step back is death.

   Xiong Da has already explained everything with his body.

  Chinese people are good at summarizing.

  The big man has only three legs, Qingliu, his relatives, and the eunuch, and when one of his legs fails, the big man crooked and fell down.

The rulers of the Sui and Tang Dynasties saw the lessons learned from the past and felt that they had to have many feet to be stable. Therefore, a large number of small landlords began to yearn for political rights and began to pursue a more detailed and stable life. The examination system came into being.

  Those original monopolies were suspended from street lights.

  Because of the emergence of the imperial examination system, the previous family views were broken, so that even if some people were born in poverty, they could still gain political status by virtue of their true talents and learning, and it was no longer a situation where the children of the nobles could cover the sky with one hand.

  The interview system of this system enables the poor children to see the future, and if they have hope in their hearts, they will not go to despair. At the same time, the officials who pass the exams also have certain talents. Even if they come from a humble background, they can stand up with their own efforts. Relatively speaking, the phenomenon of injustice is relatively reduced, and the resentment accumulated by the people is also reduced. The overall stability of society brings certain benefits.

  In the eyes of the ruler, if he wants to make the society stable, the people will not riot, and his dominance will not be threatened, he must come up with a way that can convince everyone. This is the case with the imperial examination system.

  Fei Qian wants to prevent the crisis of Wei and Jin from repeating itself in the land of China, not to kill Sima Yi, but to establish a novel method of talent selection, that is, the imperial examination.

  The guiding force of the imperial examination is undoubtedly huge, so Confucianism also uses the imperial examination to prosper forever.

What Feiqian has to do now is to unify his thoughts and let these people spread the thoughts on his behalf before the imperial examinations start, but also to mix agriculture, industry, and related Industrial examination methods, formulate relevant systems, so as to prevent the imperial examination from going astray.

  『In March, Gongda is in charge of Youfufeng, and Zijing is in charge of the imperial examinations in the counties and counties of Longyou in Longxi.』 Fei Qian assigns the task. As for Shangdang Taiyuan, Liang Dao is still in charge, and Chuanshu asked Yuan Zhi to arrange...』

  『Everyone,』 Fei Qian has a serious face, 『It is important to monitor the imperial examination system, but collecting the surnames of the bosses in various counties and towns, so that they know the beauty of the imperial examination and conform to the principles of heaven and earth, is also an important task for you...』
