Three Kingdoms

  Xu Shu was thinking.

   Because there are some questions that need answers.

  There are relatively few people who are good at thinking.

  Among the masses, those who think are often led astray by the majority who do not like to think. Most ordinary people still prefer simple pleasures. These people tend to use this good or that bad as a simple division, or treat all affairs with their own feeling of being happy or unhappy, but in fact these divisions or feelings are not necessarily correct. . It's a pity that these ordinary people are often unwilling to think too much, and then naturally they will not discover the problems.

  War is not good. It's fine if you don't fight.

   As for why the war was fought, or why it was not fought, I didn't think about it.

Why did they fight before, and why didn’t they fight again later? Is it because the leader of the Ba people faltered, or said something unfair and wanted to be free, or something else The reason, at least these Ba people in Bashan, did not think about it.

  People in Sichuan and Shu only know that it is good that there is no war now.

  This situation made Xu Shu feel funny, but also had a headache.

  These people in Sichuan and Shu can not think about it, but Xu Shu can't, he has to think, and he can't just think about Jiangdong and Bashan, he also needs to think about the whole Sichuan and Shu.

If Huaxia is an area surrounded by various high mountains and seas, then Sichuan and Shu are small basins in Huaxia, and what is interesting is that in this basin, there are also mountains, rivers, and rivers. On the plain, there are ditches, mahjong, and spicy hot pot...

  Xu Shu has almost regarded Chengdu, Sichuan and Sichuan as his second hometown.

The current Xu Shu is no longer like working the land and repairing the house when he was under the deer mountain, because he needs more time to think about problems and make overall arrangements, and those physical labors become Others who are unwilling or not good at thinking are doing it for him.

  Xu Shu received Fei Qian's order.

  He can't just take orders and execute them. He has to think on this basis, why and how to do it better.

  Why does Feiqian have such an order?

  What is the position of Sichuan and Shu in the whole political situation?

  In constant thinking, Xu Shu gradually came up with an answer.

  The sun sets and the dusk gradually rises.

  Xu Shu invited Xu Huang to his house for dinner.

  Because of Jiangdong's reasons, Xu Huang also moved his center of gravity from southern Sichuan to north, and served as the military pillar in central Sichuan, controlling the entire Sichuan-Shu war.

  『Emissary, General Gongming is here. 』The servants under the hall reported.

"welcome! 』Xu Shu stood up, went to the front of the hall to meet him in person, then walked into the hall with Xu Huang, and sat down on the left and right.

  Sichuan and Shu are actually not poor.

   But the wealth is extremely uneven.

   After exchanging pleasantries, the two quickly got to the point. Both of them knew that eating was not the most important thing, but that they had to reach a consensus with each other, and follow the instructions of the Hussar General to form an effective command system to fully manage the affairs of Sichuan and Shu.

"My lord, now the Jiangdong army is attacking," Xu Huang said straight to the point, and even said with a bit of murderous intent, because driving up prices and destroying local people's livelihood are the traditional arts of the sons of the gentry, and they can be compared with treason. "A certain view in this city of Chengdu, prices are soaring...Could it be that someone is causing trouble again? Do you need to... Yizheng Qingming! 』

   This is a big problem. If it is allowed to develop, it will not only affect the lives of ordinary people, but even lead to the instability of the army, and even cause problems in logistics support.

  Hearing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly, "General Gongming, this matter...will take some time. It’s not that I won’t move, but that it will take time…”

  Xu Huang was puzzled.

"Gongming doesn't know something..." Xu Shu sighed slightly, "Nowadays around Chengdu, prices are soaring, not all of them are the children of the gentry, local tyrants... there are many ordinary traders, and these peddlers... are worse than the gentry tyrants also…"

  Xu Huang was stunned, and then frowned deeply, "This... the envoy means... there are ordinary people here?" 』

  Xu Shu nodded.

   Regarding the rise in prices, because the Sichuan and Shu gentry have been engaged in once before, these Sichuan and Shu tyrants are relatively cautious now. As an important middleman, they also raised their prices, but the prices they raised were not large. Instead, they raised prices at will, even worse than these tyrants from the Sichuan and Sichuan gentry. Now it is those retailers who walk around the village. , those big and small shopkeepers.

  『How could this be? 』Xu Huang couldn't understand.

  Xu Shu smiled, "It needs to be educated, and this education cannot be accomplished in a day." 』

  Xu Huang frowned and said: "Since you are a citizen who breaks the law, you can just go straight to the inspection and arrest him." 』

  Xu Shu waved his hands and said, "If you do this method, it will be different from what your lord wants. 』

  『My lord’s wish? ’ asked Xu Huang.

Xu Shu nodded and said: "My lord now has a great wish to open up the land of the four seas, open up the land of the eight wastelands, accept all nations in the world, and control the people of the sky. All these things cannot be done by one person. There should be tens of millions of Han people to lead the land... However, if the Han people want to lead the local area, they should be stronger than the local area, know the law, understand the principles, balance power, and adjust all affairs...The disadvantages of the former Qin Dynasty should be learned from...』

  In ancient China, on the surface, they criticized Shang Yang very much, but in fact they used it secretly. After all, stealing books is like reading pirated copies. It is the business of scholars. Can it be considered a big deal?

  The reason why Qin State can adopt the five arts of controlling people is because of special time, special geography, and strategies that are only used under specific conditions. After all, in the eyes of the countries in the Central Plains, Qin belonged to the barbarians of Xirong. For example, when King Qi, who owns a seventy-two orchestra, saw King Qin, he would definitely say in a different tone, look at this poor child , Look, have you never heard of this band? Have you ever eaten this tripod meat? This eastern star spot...

  Uh, that’s probably what it means.

  At that time, the strategy adopted by the six countries was actually different from that of Qin. At the same time, the six countries also despised Qin.

Speaking of it, it is not that the level of civilization of the six countries, the legal system, the bravery of soldiers, etc. are weaker than Qin, but that the six countries have their own selfishness and cannot unite, and they are finally defeated by Qin. After unification, it was unable to keep up with the changes in the situation and adapt to the needs of the people, and various problems soon appeared. These are the lessons learned from the past.

   But the problem is that the feudal rulers after Huaxia did not seriously think about these issues. They just thought that the policy of obscuring the people was simpler, so they used it all the time. Although the rulers of these feudal dynasties said that they also knew that there were problems with the five techniques of controlling the people in the Qin Dynasty and Shang Yang, this method was the lowest cost and the people were better controlled. Moreover, under the small-scale peasant economy, there is no need for more intelligent people, nor does it need to develop any social productive forces. It only needs more farmland, or the introduction of some sweet potatoes to keep the people from starving to death, so there is no need at all. It is necessary to open up the wisdom of the people. It is enough to let a small group of people lead the rest of the people. It is enough to ensure the prosperity of this small group of people. The most basic people are just tools and do not need to have their own ideas.

Therefore, for a long time, the feudal dynasties of China hoped that ordinary people would be ignorant, and hoped that the people's thoughts would always stay in a very ignorant state. The ignorant people to support a small number of bureaucrats and aristocrats.

   This supply system has lasted for thousands of years.

  Fei Qian wants to let the Han nationality go out, is it possible to rely on this small number of bureaucrats and aristocrats?

It is obviously impossible. Even if these bureaucrats and nobles go out, they will soon become similar to the vassal state. With mutiny.

  Therefore, more people are needed, more ordinary people who begin to know various laws and understand various principles.

  Sichuan and Shu happen to be such a place. There are many Han people living near Chengdu, and the more remote, the more other ethnic minorities, similar to a small China.

  Ordinary people will not develop the wisdom of the people for no reason, they will have wisdom, and the simplest way to develop the wisdom of the people is to let the people go out, leave the place where their ancestors lived for generations, and go to a deeper and farther place.

The reason why China's Shang Dynasty was able to expand from a small tribe in the Yellow River to a large dynasty at once under the conditions of productivity and means of production in 1600 BC, and to form alliances with other countries outside its sphere of influence The most critical reason for forming a dominance relationship is "business", with a big stick in one hand and commodities in the other.

Therefore, Xu Shu encouraged the Han people in Chengdu, especially ordinary people, to become shopkeepers, and they also began to go to the mountains, to Jiaozhi, to snowy areas, and to farther places. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Vanguard...

   This is what caused Xu Shu some headaches at the moment.

   It was not the sons of the gentry who broke the stage this time.

  In fact, this is easy to understand. It’s like small vendors in all kinds of ordinary vegetable markets in later generations. When the wind is strong, they say that the vegetables are damaged and the price will increase. Then, when the sun is sunny and the weather is more, they will say that there is a drought. Yes, the price still needs to be raised, but has the wholesale price of vegetables actually increased? Even if there is, the increase is not much. For example, the prices of vegetables in the supermarket are often somewhat different from the prices in the vegetable market outside.

   Is this the strategy of these small traders, is it to subvert the country, is it consciously trying to disrupt the market? Obviously not, it's just that these small traders look at people's asking prices and are greedy for petty gains. If there is a powerful bargaining aunt, these small traders will have to either smile, or frown and say that they are really selling at a loss...

  So what Xu Huang saw was the rise in prices in the market, and he wanted to arrest all these small traders and big shopkeepers. Xu Shu said that it would not be enough.

"A certain has imitated the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, established the Chengdu Chamber of Commerce, promulgated commercial regulations, and governed business through business..." Xu Shu said slowly, "Wait until the commercial regulations are known, if there are still peddlers who know the law and violate the law, and deliberately raise prices, they will not be arrested again." Late...it's just that it will take some time for the regulations of the firm to be passed down locally, so General Gongming is invited to come for this purpose...』

As long as there are officials, bureaucracy is inevitable, so going through the process is often a very troublesome thing, but now the situation is more urgent, so Xu Shu found Xu Huang, wanting to take the military route, borrow Xu Huang's soldiers, directly Quickly spread these regulations of the firm.

  Xu Huang had a clear mind, knowing that Xu Shu was intentionally showing his favor to him, so he naturally answered with his hand, and he would do everything he could. After all, Xu Shu is now clearly the number one leader. It would be nothing if he gave Xu Huang an order directly. He didn't need to discuss with Xu Huang, but Xu Shu did this to avoid undue grievances in government affairs and the military.

  With such a thing as the keynote, the atmosphere between the two people will naturally become more harmonious.

Immediately, the two also exchanged information on other matters, and to a certain extent, they also determined the grand strategy of Sichuan and Shu to face Jiangdong, that is, to use the geographical advantages of Sichuan and Shu, not to rush for a while, and to eliminate the vitality of the Jiangdong Army as the main goal. host…

  After sending Xu Huang away, the sky turned dark.

  Xu Shu's mood was not as good as he showed to the outside world.

  In the night, Xu Shu tossed and turned, those things that he once forgot, he recalled again, he seemed to return to his youth in a trance. He used to like to talk with his fists, and he seldom thought. How cool it is to use the fist mode. If there is any disagreement, those who stand up make sense, and those who get down just shut up. Bully the weak, deceive the ignorant, and speak out with fists when exposed.

  This mode was indeed useful at the very beginning, especially when Xu Shu was young, gathering a group of friends to "run wild" in the countryside, and "walker" around.

   If you don't accept it, come and fight!

   Hit and then ask if you are convinced!

  The fearlessness and simplicity of the teenagers are quickly smashed.

   Obviously he thinks he is justified, speaks up for the weak, and avenges others, what's wrong with that? But the government said that he was unreasonable, and he killed someone. Then he suddenly realized that his own fist was not big enough. If according to his previous theory and previous model, then he should lie down at this time.

  He really did this in the beginning, one person does things and one person is responsible!

But when he was tied to a stake, stripped naked, and naked in the downtown area, being pointed at and ridiculed by people, he argued with the people who laughed at him, argued with the people who accused him , but he found that the common people didn't want to hear what he said at all, and they weren't interested in what he did as a chivalrous man at all, but were interested in his Xiasanlu, they just wanted to see him naked and Xiao Jiji, and then he can stand proudly aside, accusing him of insulting him and mocking him...

  He has no clothes on.

   They have to wear.

   So they were right.

  He alone can't beat so many of them, so they are right, so it makes sense?

   Then when he brings more people to defeat them, does it mean that he has changed from wrong to right again? From making sense to making sense?

   So right and wrong can be changed?

  If right and wrong can change at any time according to the strength, then what is the need for right and wrong itself? Just look at the size of the strength!

  The series of questions made him suffer, and he didn't understand, so he put down his fist and picked up his brain.

   Then I met Fei Qian...

   Regarding his past events, Fei Qian only had one sentence, "The weak raise their swords and cut at the weak, and the strong raise their swords and cut at the strong." The ignorant prefer to bully the weak, but the mentally strong like to challenge difficulties. 』

  Xu Shu feels at ease from this.

  He put down the knife in his hand and raised the knife in his mind.

  Now, he wants to follow Fei Qian's method to give away the ideological knife.

  The people are to be led.

  Scholar's children should take this responsibility, those who can't bear it, or those who steal and play tricks, just like the discussion between him and Fei Qian under the deer mountain, those people are not worthy of being "scholars".

  No matter how dark the night is, it will pass and the light will come again...

  Xu Shu lives directly in the backyard of the Chengdu Government Office. Every morning after he wakes up, he can hear the melodious cries of businessmen on the streets in the backyard, with some Sichuan accents, like melodious poetry singing.

  Xu Shu stood listening in the backyard, stroking his beard slightly.

  Nowadays, the most important thing for a big man is to set rules.

  Set the rules of the gentry, set the rules of the merchants, set the rules of the soldiers, set the rules of the world...

   Only when there are rules can things be handled easily, and only when there are accurate answers can the people do something spontaneously, instead of ignoring this or that, or knowing nothing all day long.

  Similarly, the Ba people also need the rules of the Ba people, and they have the answers of the Ba people.

  『Where is Captain Mengdu? Are you here? 』

   With the help of his attendants, Xu Shu put on a crimson and black-edged robe and asked.

  The attendant was helping to straighten the folds of clothes on Xu Shu's back waist, "My envoy, I have already been waiting in the outer hall. 』

  Xu Shu nodded and stepped forward.

  Different people have different answers. When meeting Xu Huang, friendship should be the most important thing, but when meeting Meng Huo, one should treat it with dignity.

  Meng Huo, now transferred to become Captain of Badong.

  He was originally just a small character of the Meng family, not as majestic as in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and there were no hot women of the Zhu family around him. After all, if something really brings the daughter of the cave master, and at the same time, she has experienced battles and has a group of brave female soldiers under her, such a powerful woman, with outstanding looks and extraordinary martial arts, is nothing in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I don't know, I don't know anything. Do you have to listen to the stupid strategy of a stupid man like Meng Huo, and even get yourself into it?

   But this is just a romance, after all, according to Mr. Luo’s depiction of women, it still conforms to the mainstream social attitude at that time. Most of the women who appeared in Romance of the Three Kingdoms did not even have their names, such as Diao Chan, Zhu Rong, and even the named Sun Shangxiang, who was described as only knowing how to scare Liu Bei with knives and guns in the boudoir, and then went out. It's like you don't have a brain, you believe what anyone says...

  In fact, even the current Meng Huo is not a pure idiot.

  He has his mind and his cunning.

   It's like those big and small shopkeepers in Sichuan and Shu.

  『In Padang, have there been any recent changes? After seeing Meng Huo, Xu Shu asked directly.

  Meng Huo wanted to shake his head subconsciously, but when he saw Xu Shu's eyes, he coughed, lowered his head and said, "Is your envoy... are you asking about Ba Ren?" 』
