Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2652 Mountains and Rivers

  When the relevant information about the imperial examinations from Hedong and Longyou was sent back to Chang'an, Fei Qian looked at these reports and couldn't help but feel a little like he was facing the unbalanced scores in different places in the exams of later generations.

   These are two, no, this is actually a question of type.

The problem in Hedong seems to be that there is not enough preparation, which has led to a sudden large number of concentrated students vying for the few resources. But in fact, this problem can be regarded as that before Sima Yi went to Hedong to hold a scientific examination, no one thought about it What about questions similar to scientific research?

The talents in Longyou are poor. Most people are forced to be busy with their livelihoods and cannot have more time to study, so that the gap in knowledge is widened. Does it also prove that before Feiqian started the imperial examination, Longyou It is also the same that they have not considered the related issues of talents?

   Didn't think ahead, so things went wrong.

  Talent does not fall from the sky.

   It is not a special product of a certain place. When the time comes to harvest and collect, you can continue to obtain it...

  This is different from the geographical location of Hedong Longyou, and there is no specific connection.

  For some unknown reason, the words "Jiangnan Talent" suddenly appeared in Fei Qian's mind.

It seems that in some movies and TV shows of later generations, or in some opera novels, "Jiangnan Talents" appear very frequently, at least Shaanxi-Gansu or Longyou Talents do not often appear, and correspondingly, they are often seen Other regional titles such as "Heroes of the Northwest", "Leader of the Southern Barbarians", "Heroes of the Northeast", etc...

There are talented people in the south of the Yangtze River, heroes in the northwest, etc., just like some people said before that Shandong will produce a prime minister, Shanxi will produce generals, etc. It seems to be a very reasonable thing, but now that Fei Qian thinks about it, he feels that there is something wrong with it. question.

  『What's the problem? This is the regional characteristics! 』

  Some "knowing the king" will definitely disdain, and said lightly.

and then?

  The reasons for the formation of regionalism?

solution?

   To develop their own specificity or to emphasize unity? Or is it moderate?

   What are the advantages and disadvantages of these different strategies?

  After formulating the strategy, how many years is the deadline? When to adjust, when are the green and red lines? What new problems will result from decades of no change?

  『Understand the King』Gu left and right talked about him, saying that these are very simple and let others answer.

  China was originally not like this. At least at the beginning, no one emphasized regionality. Everyone is from China, and they are all brothers and descendants of Yan and Huang. But when did you start to emphasize where you are from and where I am from?

Fei Qian feels that there are objective regional differences, which is no problem, but on the contrary, subjectively, too much emphasis is placed on "adapting measures to local conditions" on the same thing, trying to formulate different solutions suitable for different regions on the same issue. Standards are also problematic.

  This approach, which is similar to adopting a moderate moderation, seems fair, but in fact it is not. On the contrary, it will leave room for those cunning people to trade, just like in a certain period of time in later generations, the best school for entrance examination is not in Hengshui, but in a certain place in the northwest.

  Because people can move, but regions don’t.

  The cunning people send the children up in a sneaky way, and then these children will really learn something? Or did he inherit the cunning method and continue on to an even more cunning path?

  Hedong and Longyou showed different appearances of a problem.

  Fei Qian put the two reports in his sleeves, then strolled out of the lobby of the General’s Mansion, and walked towards the official office of the General’s Mansion.

  Xu Chu followed Fei Qian.

   These two days are Xu Chu's turn to be on duty.

When he was on duty, Xu Chu was wearing heavy armor, which was larger than Feiqian when viewed vertically, and also larger than Feiqian when viewed sideways, but his actions were similar to ordinary people, and his flexibility of movement was not necessarily negative. reduce.

  Fei Qian walked slowly along the corridor, and asked with a smile: "Zhongkang, if you go to take a scripture test, do you know if you can pass it?" 』

"My lord, if you want me to use a knife to make a stick and kill the enemy in battle, I am not willing to be left behind, but this test scripture..." Xu Chulue said helplessly, "The pen is not half as thick as my finger, and I can't even pinch it." live…"

  Xu Chu is certainly not illiterate, and his saying that he can't hold a pen is just a metaphor. It's just that he is really not good at this scripture. He prefers to practice martial arts, and he prefers to exercise his body and strength every day. As for studying scriptures, writing and writing, and working hard to practice martial arts, both of them are hard work, and they need to be practiced every day. Therefore, it is not right to say that Xu Chu is lazy if he does not study scriptures, and it is not easy to study if he does not write essays. .

  Everyone has his own aspirations.

  He Chuan also has ambitions...

   There is an old saying: the mountain is rich, and the water is rich.

   Everyone is different from everyone, so there are inconsistencies from region to region.

   This is a very normal thing.

   It’s like asking Xu Chu to take part in scientific research and Pang Tong to fight the enemy. Although both Xu Chu and Pang Tong are fatter, their fat is completely different.

  It is also fat, because everyone is different and chooses differently, the corresponding standard of "fat" is of course inconsistent.

  This is the real "adjust measures to local conditions".

  The general direction is the same, but the details are different in different regions, instead of rigidly defining a standard for each region, and then it will remain unchanged for decades...

   Feiqian nodded, hehe smiled, and chatted for a few more words, then turned the corner, and arrived in front of the official office of Xishangshutai.

With the expansion of the authority of the Hussar General, some functional organizations were cut off and left the General's Office, but new departments and personnel came in, so this office is always busy and busy. There is an endless stream of small officials.

  Fei Qian walked in directly from the backyard, so it is relatively clean. Of course, it is also for convenience, otherwise, when those petty officials see Fei Qian, they will have to salute and worship, and then the officials in the front yard will come out to greet something, and the front yard office itself will be crowded. The officials and the others will definitely watch Fei Qian like they watch cherished animals, and it will be difficult for Xu Chu and other guards to deal with it. It seems that Fei Qian is not polite enough to be a corporal, and let these small officials surround Fei Qian Well, what risks would you worry about.

  Fei Qian is also very aware of the difference between the front yard and the back yard, so he directly chooses to enter from the back yard, which is obviously much better. Most of the officials and clerks who came and went could often see Fei Qian, and they would not act too aggressively. After saluting, they would just go about their own business, which would not cause any trouble to Xu Chu.

   When Feiqian walked to the back hall of Shangshutai, Pang Tong and Xun You were busy.

   When Feiqian saw them, he waved his hand, signaling them to be busy first, and then sat down in the back hall by himself, looking through the writings from various places in the past few days. From the point of view of the writing, there is nothing special. After all, for the current season, the most important thing for officials in various places is to further check the situation of Zhuanghe. After all, for the farming society, the grain harvest is the most important red line.

Harvest failure, if there is no reserve, does not mean that the average person can eat one less bite, or eat one bowl less to solve the problem, but that some people will starve to death directly, and it will not be considered until the starved people make up for the poor harvest. can be balanced again.

   After a while, Pang Tong finished dealing with the matter at hand, and went to the back hall from one side.

   Fei Qian pulled out the two letters from his sleeve and showed them to Pang Tong.

  When Pang Tong was almost finished, Xun You also came, and then continued to watch.

  After reading it, both of them couldn't help thinking, and they didn't speak for a while.

  『…』Xun You sighed softly, “The loss of Longyou is also the disaster of Gaixi Qiang…”

  Pang Tong nodded and said, "Of course." When the Longyou Academy is completed, there will be more people who study. 』

  Fei Qian pondered for a while, neither said it was right nor wrong, but asked: "What about Hedong?" 』

  『The thing about the east of the river is easy. It can be solved by preparing more inn affairs and ordering soldiers to be stationed. ’ Xun You said.

   Fei Qian turned to look at Pang Tong, and found that Pang Tong also felt that Xun You's solution was feasible.

   Feiqian smiled, "Both of you, what you said is good, but it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause." Longyou in the east of the river is not a matter of one moment and one place. 』

  『Cure the root cause? Pang Tong frowned, "My lord's intention...is not a moment and a place, so it is a person?" 』

   Feiqian nodded, and then said to Pang Tong and Xun You: "You two are indeed right, but what I want to say is, don't just look at the problem from one moment to the next..."

  Similar to this question, there is a saying in later generations, that is, talents are born out of beautiful mountains and clear waters, and troublesome people are born out of poor mountains and rivers.

  Is this sentence correct?

   Yes, but also wrong.

   This is indeed a phenomenon, but who can disregard any other factors, just in terms of geography, use mountains and rivers to distinguish what is beautiful and what is poor?

  Some guys who like to put on a show, such as some hermits in the Han Dynasty, thought that the mountains, rivers, and natural environment were very good, so they announced in a high-profile way that they were living in seclusion, but while living in seclusion, they can also participate in various "variety shows"?

These people claim that living in the nature of mountains and rivers can feel the time slow down and make people get rid of impetuousness, and then say that this kind of natural environment is extremely important for the birth of great thinkers and writers, and then come to a conclusion, saying that from ancient times to the present Almost all sages, hermits, etc. like to live in seclusion in places with beautiful mountains and rivers...

  The meaning behind the words is naturally self-evident.

   But these people, when facing the mountains and rivers where they live, just say "beautiful mountains and rivers", and then turn around and say that there are troublesome people in some places "poor mountains and rivers"...

   Hey!

   This is obviously the **** that can't be more crooked.

  In fact, is the quality of the people and the amount of knowledge directly related to mountains and rivers?

  Hedong and Longyou are clear evidence.

Hedong was also rotten before. Refugees from Jiuyuan Yunzhong in Shangjun went south, and the Han court let them go. They closed their eyes and closed their ears, pretending that they hadn’t seen or heard anything. In addition, the interior of Hedong was often surrounded by Baibo, Heishan and Xianbei. The Xiongnu plundered places, so how many scholars could there be before Feiqian developed Hedong? How many people can read?

  Now there are obviously several times more scholars in Hedong than in Longyou.

  The mountains and rivers are still the original mountains and rivers in Hedong, and the rivers are still the original rivers, so put aside other factors, just talk about beautiful mountains and rivers, poor mountains and bad waters, what is it if you are not playing hooligans with your **** crooked?

   Therefore, the most important thing is not the landscape, but the economy.

  The economic base determines the superstructure. Agriculture is developed, industry and commerce are prosperous, and families have money and food, so they can spend more time studying. This is the most important factor that determines the number of scholars.

Therefore, if it is said that "Jiangnan" has many talents in later generations, it is not really because of the beautiful mountains and rivers in Jiangnan, but because Jiangnan's economy in the subsequent feudal dynasties is better than other places, and it can provide more people to study. It is an external economic condition. Let more mediocre people get more opportunities and higher positions, instead of relying on the beautiful natural scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, more talents will naturally be born.

This reminded Fei Qian of the later feudal dynasties. Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces seemed to have the largest number of people in the imperial examinations, and then some people with crooked buttocks would say that this was the inheritance of a family in the south of the Yangtze River, a land of Wenhua, etc., as if they were born in Jiangnan is just so amazing, but in other places, he is born to be inferior...

  But those who know a little bit of history know that during the Warring States period, Jiangnan, that is, the area around Chu State, was still called barbarians. Of course, Chu State did not have much culture at that time. The cultural powerhouse of the Warring States Period was Qilu.

Even in the current Han Dynasty, the Jiangnan area is still full of Yue people with various colors on their faces, holding hatchets and bamboo spears, roaring to and fro in the mountains and forests all day long, so if it is said that the Jiangnan family really has inheritance, this Where does inheritance come from?

   Are the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River really born and bred?

"The locality is stable and the economy is developing," Fei Qian said slowly, "only then will there be talents born... This is the fundamental problem... The difference between Hedong and Longyou is just a step ahead, and a slow pace It's just a step difference...」

  Pang Tong nodded and said, "My lord's words are very true. 』

   Xun You naturally agreed.

Indeed, whether it is the establishment of a school in Longyou or the expansion of an inn in Hedong, it seems that they are all solving local problems, but in fact the most important thing is still economic development, so that people can be freed from heavy labor. More time and energy to learn and grow.

Fei Qian is not a capitalist. There is no need to brag about 996 and overtime work all day long. On the contrary, he feels that only by cultivating more talents can China develop better. The most important thing is to work from morning to night. Although it can indeed make the people at the bottom lose their mobility to a certain extent, stabilize the original class, and better manage the place, it has no benefits for the future of China, and even has only disadvantages.

  『The Warring States Period, the Central Plains War, Ten Rooms and Nine Spaces... Only then did the Chu Kingdom prosper...' Fei Qian said slowly, 'So if the current Guanzhong Shandong War...do you think it will be cheaper? 』

  Pang Tong laughed and said, "Naturally, Jiangdong is cheaper!" 』

   Xun You also nodded.

  Fei Qian stroked his beard, smiled, and said, "Gongda, how about a little mention of this matter when you wrote a letter home?" 』

  Xun You froze for a moment, but Pang Tong beside him smiled and clapped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, I also wrote a few letters... There are also some friends in Jingbei..."

  Xun You pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Your Majesty has said this, so you should let anyone who wants to move there." 』

  Fei Qian waved his hands and said, "You may be mistaken. You just need to tell the facts and describe clearly what happened in Hedong Longyou...Of course it's good if someone wants to come, but you don't have to force it." 』

  Using administrative orders or other means to forcibly relocate the population to Longyou will undoubtedly greatly stimulate the economy of Longyou. Fei Qian is very clear about this.

  The best example is still Jiangnan.

   Looking at the rise of the entire Jiangnan, it is because of the massive input of talents from the northern Central Plains that the barbarians who used to just run in the mountains and forests gradually became Jiangnan talents respected by later generations. So from this point of view, the rise of Jiangnan is not due to the feats of the native Yue people, but brought by those outsiders. The whole of Jiangnan is also lying on the corpses of the Central Plains, eating leftovers coldly, and eating fat by mouthfuls.

  Warring States ate once.

  Three Kingdoms ate once.

  Nan Jin ate once.

   I ate it once in the Southern Song Dynasty.

  The Qing Dynasty still wanted to continue eating, and in modern times, they also took advantage of the opportunity of compradors to continue eating.

  So basically speaking, Jiangnan has developed well in later generations and has many talents. Whether there is any effort by Jiangnan people, there is indeed, this cannot be denied. But it cannot be said that it is all the efforts of Jiangnan, and has nothing to do with other people or other regions.

  If there is a so-called editor-in-chief, just blindly saying that Jiangnan's achievements are due to the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, so there are so many talents, instead of exploring the historical development and the ins and outs, then basically it must be ill-intentioned.

It's like some time in later generations, some people with ulterior motives are clamoring how important the output value of a certain place is, and then they say that the people from other provinces are all country people, and they should serve the upper class well. In fact, it is for Deliberately confusing some facts, denying the evolution of history, and also denying the sacrificial contributions made by other provinces, deliberately provoking and creating internal conflicts in the Chinese nation.

  Now, Fei Qian feels that there is no need for Jiang Dong to lie down so comfortably and wait for food...

  Longyou is also a good place.

  Jiangdong Yue people have not yet dealt with it, and Longyou Xiqiang has been pacified.

  Jiangdong's sea trade is still far away, and the western regions of Longyou are already prosperous in commerce.

  So if the family suffered in the Central Plains, why go to Jiangdong?

  Welcome to Longyou.

   At this point, Fei Qian hopes that it will be a natural attraction rather than a mandatory decree.

  For ordinary refugees, they feel very happy when they have a place to settle down. They will feel happy because they migrated from a turbulent place to a stable place.

  For families at a higher level, forced relocation is undoubtedly to make them migrate from an originally stable area to a completely unfamiliar environment. Will such a family feel happy? Obviously not, then there will inevitably be resentment. If one of a hundred people who have such grievances does something, it will not be too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, and it may ruin a large group of people.

  Therefore, homeless refugees can be sent to Longxi, but for those who originally had family property, it is definitely best to volunteer.

  It is useful to come willingly, but it is not beautiful to force it.

   Fei Qian asked Xun You to write a letter now, not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.

  Xun You's letter home will definitely be studied by people in the Xun family, and the difference between Hedong and Longyou is also a fact. Fei Qian didn't want Xun You to exaggerate or deceive, but just to discuss the matter as it stands, presenting the facts in front of the Xun family and those "relatives and friends" that Pang Tong said.

  At the same time, the redevelopment of Longyou is imminent.

  Originally, Feiqian's positioning of Longyou was commercial transshipment, and commercial transportation on the transportation route from the entire Western Regions to Guanzhong. But obviously, this commercial transportation is of some help to the economy of Longyou, but it is only limited to the two sides of the commercial road, and most of the other areas of Longyou have not received the bonus of BUFF.

  But for the relatively advanced concept of revitalizing the local economy, Pang Tong and Xun You obviously have no good ideas. It is not that they lack intelligence, but that they do not have enough information...

"In this way, first let Zijing study in Longyou for a period of time after the imperial examination," Fei Qian finally made a decision, "Expand the relatively drought-tolerant millet planting... well, simple farming is obviously not necessarily suitable for Longyou What is needed for land development... My idea is to focus on the three aspects of mountains, forests, livestock, and mines...』

  If new breakthroughs can be made, it will naturally stimulate the economy.

  After talking about this, Fei Qian said with some helplessness, "Besides... tell Wen He that if you have any questions, you should report them in time, and don't waste your thoughts on unnecessary worries!" 』

  Jia Xu is good at everything, but she likes to be wise and protect herself too much. She likes to hide and hold back any problems, trying to figure out this and that...
