Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2878 Water and soil, the continuation of the old

  『Longyou, as Wen He said, there are few people. 』

   Fei Qian sat on horseback and headed west.

  The next journey will not be so rushed.

  Before rushing desperately, it was because Fei Qian also needed to personally test and experience this kind of "high-speed road", or whether the "straight road" similar to Qin Shihuang's was possible.

  As a centralized feudal dynasty, an important part of the ability to expand its territory is that the larger the area directly covered by the powerful central forces, the stronger the dynasty will naturally be.

   Before the steam engine, the cavalry was the strongest land unit, the quick reaction force.

  Fi potential has sorted out the bills along the way, and re-examined the changes brought about by the new logistics model, and found that this way is indeed very good and effective, but it can actually save some...

Because Jia Xu knew that Fei Qian would bring people here, and it was not a one-way trip, at least a round-trip, so his preparations were done very well, whether it was in the Anding area near Guanzhong, or in Zhangye, which was biased towards the Western Regions. The specifications and facilities of the land, the military stronghold, or the small military station are basically the same, and there is nothing wrong with it.

   It's just that this also leads to a high overall cost.

As an important corridor connecting the Western Regions and Guanzhong, Jia Xu’s intensive arrangement of such support military stations is not a big problem from a certain point of view, but if those are not very important, or relatively complicated and rugged It is obviously unreasonable to have such intensive construction on the road.

  Jia Xu agrees with this point.

   Moreover, Jia Xu also raised a very critical issue, which is also an old problem in Longyou, that is, there are few people.

   That is what Fei Qian agreed to just now, there are indeed few people.

  This place is poor in water resources, so the land is barren.

  Because the land is barren, large-scale Zhuanghe cannot be planted.

  Because there is no large-scale plantation industry, it cannot support high-density population.

  This is a real problem, and it is true that Feiqian cannot change it.

  The spirit of Yugong Yishan is desirable, but his actions are not. When the mountain is not suitable for people, people can go out of the mountain and bring back a team of excavators. Isn't it better than weaving baskets at home? Of course, the key is to come back, otherwise, after driving the excavator outside the mountain, Liu Chan is not alone.

  『The strategy of migration can only last for a while, but it is difficult to last for generations. Jia Xu said on the sidelines that he did not approve of large-scale emigration of inland population.

  Fei Qian nodded and said: "The method of migration can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause." If you want to cure the root cause, you still have to look at the Qiang people. 』

  『Qiang people? 』Jia Xu frowned.

   Migrating Qiang people?

   Fei Qian nodded, "That's right, the Qiang people. But not migration...'

  Sometimes the eyes need to let go a little.

  『Water is an ordinary thing...』 Seeing that Jia Xu didn’t understand, Fei Qian said slowly, 『If you don’t have water, you will die in three days. If there is water and no food, it can live for seven days. With food and water, you can be safe for a hundred days. 』

   This is common knowledge, or in most cases accurate knowledge.

   A question mark appeared on Jia Xu's head.

  Fei Qian tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Jia Xu, "Chang'an Agricultural College has some new research...I'll send a copy to Wenhe to have a look at that time...The main thing is the water needed by Zhuang He..."

"water? 』Jia Xu blinked. This is an area that he has never been involved in. Even though he is extremely intelligent and has the top wisdom of a big man, he still seems to be unable to grasp the key points.

  『Water and soil... one side of water and soil, one side of people... Rice grows more in the south, and wheat grows more in the north. This is water and soil, Zhuanghe is like this, and people are like this too," Fei Qian stretched out his hand, waved it up and down, "Wenhe, you need to look in a different direction...from the bottom to the top...we used to look from the top most of the time Look down, now you might as well take a look in reverse...』

"in turn? 』Jia Xu seemed to be thinking about something.

   Fei Qian glanced at Jia Xu.

  In fact, this is also a problem reflected on the Longyou military "highway".

When Jia Xu formulated these military stations, the main basis was military needs. Therefore, some military stations are actually located in relatively remote areas, and there are no people in the surrounding area for more than ten or even twenty or thirty miles. Although this is a great supplement And it facilitates the military needs, but it also makes the consumption pressure of the follow-up replenishment of such depots very high.

If you think about it from the grassroots level, then the military depots will extend outward along the important towns, and then in these uninhabited areas, the layout of some military depots will be relatively reduced, while adding additional burdens to the surrounding towns, and wait until the population increases. , and then consider the problem of extending outward.

   This is like the settlement and migration when Han Yi came.

In a certain period of time, it is necessary to garrison the border, just like a military station. If it is not decided and implemented by the upper level, then such a military "highway" will not appear naturally in ten or twenty years, but If there are problems in the process, but turn a blind eye to them, or talk about what can be "overcome", "ignore", "endurable", and "suffering", this kind of person is often not Stupid is bad.

  What is "temporary" "forbearance" or "bitterness"? Then turn a blind eye to these problems in front of you, clamoring that "tomorrow" will be better, and "future" will be sweeter?

   Well, some people will believe it at first.

  However, the year before last was the most difficult, and it will be fine if you get through it.

  Last year said that last year was the most difficult, and it will be fine if you get through it.

   This year is still saying, this year is the most difficult, the future will be...

  How about next year?

  Even if the people's memory is short, it's not like they can't remember it every year?

   All those who don’t talk about the specific time of endurance, and don’t specify the temporary period, aren’t they similar to the Buddha’s theory?

  This life is karma and suffering, but the next life will be beautiful.

  So in this life, everyone deserves to suffer?

Oh, it's not "everyone". After all, there are still a group of people who can enjoy the happiness and sweetness of the moment without "overcoming" or "endurance". . right?

  There were obvious problems with the border migration strategy of the Han Dynasty.

  The people who migrated from the first wave in the interior are five kinds of "sinners". The laws of feudal dynasties are so simple and rude, and if you say you are guilty, you are guilty, but you can think of the ministers and elites of the gentry who want to move the so-called "sinners" to the border. What are the thoughts and purposes of these people?

   Perhaps to some extent, he wanted to protect those "pure" people outside the five "sinners", but are these "sinners" really sinners? Are those "pure goodness" that are protected really pure goodness?

  Furthermore, for the migration to the border, Feiqian will send officials to make arrangements for the early, mid-term and late stages, but who knew these at the beginning? Who else will go back and do it? It's like leaving grass seeds on the ground at random. Whether they can grow or not depends on luck. In this way, the effect of migration can temporarily support the Western Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu. The people of the nation are enough to endure hardships!

   Otherwise, change to another nationality, you try?

  But just because the people of Huaxia are so pure and kind, they can’t be bullied to death!

   After bullying all the good people to death, what will be left? Either blackened good guys, or purebred bad guys, will everyone be happy by then?

   This is what Fei Qian wanted to tell Jia Xu.

   Those in power in the feudal dynasty, especially those at the top, such as the emperor, must stand with the people at the lowest level, otherwise...

  When the emperor in the feudal dynasty forgot his position and started mixing with the ministers in the middle, the dynasty began to perish. This has been proven several times in history, and Fei Qian will certainly not turn a blind eye to these "lessons learned from the past".

  The military depot can be regarded as a small-scale migration, but even a small-scale migration requires strategy.

Fei Qian has considered this issue before, but all the time, because of the interference of this or that matter, he has not thought about it or explored it specifically. It was not until this time when the incident in the Western Regions broke out that Fei Qian It suddenly occurred to me that I might have thought about this a few times before, but I didn't think about it deeply enough.

  Among the turmoil in the Western Regions, a situation appeared that Fei Qian hadn't expected at all.

   Not Lu Bu, but Buddha.

  Fei Qian had made a plan for the Western Regions before, but in this plan, the only thing that Fei Qian did not consider thoroughly was Buddhism in the Western Regions.

  How did a false hope confuse so many people?

   This is a big question.

  Fei Qian can't solve all of them, but you can try to solve some of them.

   After all, in the final analysis, it is all a human problem.

  Jia Xu glanced slightly at Fei Qian's face, cupped his hands and said, "My lord's words are true, and the people are like water." Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. 』

   This is the view of the old Xun family in Chunqiu, so it is not surprising that Jia Xu can understand it immediately.

   Fei Qian hummed, "The difference between the great men of the Western Regions is like the Wei and the Wei. At the first sight there is a difference, then how? When a big river rushes into the sea, is there a difference between the Wei and the Wei? Therefore, Lu Fengxian's act of massacring the Buddhist country and killing the people is absurd. For the people, what is usable should be used, and should not be easily destroyed. 』

  Jia Xu sighed, paused for a moment, then sighed again, "If Brother Wenyou is here, just based on my lord's words, it will be obvious." 』

   Jia Xu was very emotional.

  Li Ru and Jia Xu are both Han Chinese, but there was a time when they were not human.

  The Han people in Shandong felt that people like Li Ru and Jia Xu were no longer Han people, so they were expelled from their Han nationality.

  The Qiang people and other minority tribes also feel that people like Li Ru and Jia Xu cannot be counted as theirs...

  In fact, both Li Ru and Jia Xu accepted the culture of the Han family, and also lived and grew up in the land of Longxi. Why would they be tolerated by both sides? Han people think that Li Ru and Jia Xu are fools. Even in history, Jia Xu can accumulate meritorious service and ascend to the Hall of Sanhuai. The reason why he is not qualified to be the Sangong is not because of Jia Xu's intelligence and ability, but because he dislikes his background!

  People in Shandong believe that a position does not correspond to whether the ability is qualified, but the background!

  The key is that this concept can still be recognized by many Shandong people, and even some people from other places...

   In fact, he was born in a circle.

  The political groups of the feudal dynasty are already used to having a circle to protect themselves. Vested interests also do not want more people to share pork. So these upper-level guys will consciously build an information cocoon room for the lower-level people, induce the lower-level people to separate into various circles, and then fight, bite, and kill each other like beasts locked in a cage...

  In this way, it can be ensured that these fighting beasts will not think about opening the cage all day long, or hang some people on the street lamp.

   What Jia Xu felt was that Fei Qian was more tolerant than ordinary rulers.

   Tolerate the Han people, but also the Qiang people.

   Equally inclusive of flawed people.

Even in the current situation where Lu Bu has disrupted the Western Regions, Fei Qian can still think calmly, and seems to be looking at the future all the time, looking for the direction, instead of opening his mouth to say something angry or boring, And related words that are biased towards emotional catharsis.

   This is the trait of a leader that Jia Xu has never encountered before.

  Even Cao Cao couldn't do it.

  Li Ru did logistics for Lu Bu and opened up the Western Regions, not for the so-called meritorious service, but to prove the wider world that Fei Qian described before.

   Now Li Ru has indeed opened up a corner of the curtain before his death, and now the disputes in the Western Regions have proved from another angle that the West does have a wider land and a richer country.

  The current model of "highway" used in the military will naturally be built for the Western Regions in the future.

  『My lord, but...』Even after Fei Qian said so, Jia Xu still said with some concerns, "If you use barbarians as your fortress... I'm afraid you might give others a chance..."

   Fei Qian glanced sideways at Jia Xu, "Wen He, you are too cautious. 』

  Jia Xu was taken aback for a moment, and quickly raised his eyes to look at Fei Qian, only to see that Fei Qian seemed to be just saying that casually.

   Really just said it casually?

  Jia Xu didn't believe it.

  Because Jia Xu is really so cautious. He is like a thousand-year-old bastard, he is not sure that there is really no danger in the outside world, so he will never stick his head out easily. It's like Jia Xu clearly knew that there was a problem in the Western Regions, and also knew about some things about Lu Bu in the Western Regions, but Jia Xu never took the initiative to report it, at most it was just a hand, such as delivering the reports from the Western Regions to Guanzhong.

   It’s also like Jia Xu has ten thousand ideas in his mind at the moment, but he just doesn’t say it. He won’t come out of his stomach until Fei Qian asks a few times...

   But the question is, does avoiding or hiding, or hiding, really help to solve the problem?

  『Being cautious is a good thing, but being too cautious is not necessarily the case. As the sage said, warlike people will die. Therefore, some people say that the country should not be indiscriminate in war, and this statement is good. However, there is no mention of when to fight. In the end, there will be no fight, and those who say war will be punished. Fei Qian said slowly, "When has there been no war in this world since ancient times?" If you don't talk about war, is there no thief in the world? 』

  People are sometimes very contradictory, just like the small group of people in Guanzhong. Some time ago, someone in Guanzhong asked why Fei Qian didn't go to fight Shandong? Not to fight Shandong is simply a waste of time, place and harmony, it is simply a combination of stupidity and so on...

   And now some people say why Fei Qian is going to fight the Western Regions? Fighting the Western Regions is belligerent, wasteful, another stupid fusion, etc...

   Feiqian finds it very interesting sometimes.

The Shandong people are more or less from the Han country, and then a group of people in Guanzhong jumped up and down, expressing that they should start as soon as possible, the sooner the better, the faster the better, and the heavier the better, and then turned to deal with the Western Regions, the Western Regions are not so good for the time being. Let’s go to the mainland of the Han Dynasty, and then a group of people in Guanzhong twittered, saying that they should not be so fussy about the outside world.

  噫, the two faces of the inside and the outside, could it be that it is also a fine tradition of the Han Dynasty?

  Jia Xu's eyes froze for a moment.

  『The words of the sages and sages were all good intentions, but the literary thieves stole them. Fei Qian said slowly, "But when the literary thieves are talking, where is the courage of the literary?" Harmony is certainly appropriate, but do you not know its good and evil? A small thief can cause a big disaster, just like Bian Que's technique, healed but still injured. 』

   Jia Xu sighed, "I'm guilty. 』

   Fei Qian waved his hands and said, "It's wrong again. It is not that someone is responsible to you for this, and he will share his faults with you. Punishment without law is a big taboo. It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, so there should be laws to determine what is right and what is wrong. In the old days of Qin Law, if one saw atrocities and avoided them, he should be guilty of the same crime, so he was brave in his righteousness. There is no such law in the present Han Dynasty, so there are many people who stand by and watch. Therefore, the law should be used to promote its courage, rather than the courage to blame its law. 』

"If it is said that a good war will lead to death, we should discuss the pros and cons, and the pros and cons should be put into practice, so the account..." Fei Qian pointed to the account books tied behind the guards, "or check it on the spot... It is a crime to be a person who only lives above what is said above, and who breaks the way of the world with a single word. 』

   Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "My lord's words are very true. The minister is taught. Nowadays, the Qiang people are mostly settled, and then they are self-transformed. According to the master's policy, use business to promote residence, use residence to strengthen the people, teach them the Chinese language, and recruit their elite... After three generations, it will be Han. 』

   Fei Qian nodded slightly.

   Isn’t that great? This set of models has been used until later generations.

  Among civilizations, the strong prey on the weak.

  If you can't stick to your own civilization, you will inevitably be replaced by other people's civilization. And if you want to uphold your own civilization, you must have your own language and characters, and have your own core values ​​condensed by your own thoughts.

   This Jia Xu obviously has ideas, but just now he pretended to be confused.

  『Forcible relocation will inevitably generate resentment. Therefore, the Han Dynasty should be regarded as the most precious, and the precious will come from its own people. But where does expensive come from? In terms of strength, who is the Han and Qiang superior? There is only one way to win with wisdom. Knowing the principles of affairs, handling disputes, and holding balance, all show the wisdom of the Han Dynasty, and only then can it show its value. Fei Qian said, "If you want to value wisdom outside, you should learn from within, know the law, and understand the truth... In this way, strength is not the most important, but civilization is the most important... The strong will eventually decline. , but the wisdom of civilization can be passed on from generation to generation...』

To put it simply, the so-called "aggression" should be put aside, and the banner of "freedom" should be held high, indicating that the big man came to help those tribes and states full of contradictions, class conflicts, and low primitive technology. Let's go hand in hand to the bright future...

   Jia Xu laughed, "Master, do you want to see Ajiesha?" 』

   Fei Qian pondered, nodded, "That's fine, but not now. Go a little further..."

   Further ahead, Yumen Gate is closed.
