Chapter 1105: Forward
Perhaps what kind of founding emperor will bring what kind of national character, the Han Dynasty was originally a tough country, and it is also a country with a high degree of patience. When he endures, he pretends to be a grandson more cowardly than anyone else, and when he is ruthless, he cuts the grass and eradicates the roots, and even the heroes are caught and chopped into meat sauce to eat.
But the further you go, the more mediocre it becomes.
Officials are afraid of making mistakes, so it is good to seek glory for a lifetime of peace and stability, and even the emperor is afraid of making mistakes, so it is just a matter of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall to smear a bright surface.
In such an environment, almost everyone is lazy.
Not to mention Taoism, the alchemy of alchemy, eating five stones, drinking grass and dew, doing everything, even Confucianism is constantly saying what to raise Haoran righteousness, and then you can face the East China Sea and twilight......
It's purely idle egg pain.
The former Qin tried his best to carry out the unification of China, and then fell down with all his strength, the Han Dynasty stood up eating the bones of the Qin Dynasty, looked around blankly, but found that his surrounding environment was different from the Qin State's time when the world was full of powerful opponents, except for a few unsuccessful vassal kings, the enemy of the early Han Dynasty was only the Xiongnu.
Well, the Huns were also a good opponent.
In the case of an opponent, Dahan gave full play to Liu Bang's strengths, and he couldn't bear it, and then he was not a human being when he was ruthless......
But after the Huns ran away, the Han was at a loss.
Those Yi people in South Vietnam, compared with the Huns, are like bed bugs, disturb the army to catch bed bugs, it's not worth it, don't catch it, from time to time crawl out and suck a mouthful, it hurts too much, it's annoying.
The Yi people can only be the king and hegemon in the mountainous woodland, once they enter the city, when they want to stand on their own, they are easy to be served by the Han soldiers, so most of the Yi people later learned to be obedient, free in the mountains and villages, out of the mountains is to plunder, not at all in the flat land for a long time, just like the gadfly that lingers on the butt of the big Han cow.
Then the big man who lost his goal didn't know what to do next......
The external feud is gone, so the internal feud that has been accumulated is of course on the agenda, complaining about grievances, and taking revenge for revenge.
It's not that no one is sober, but the eyes of these people are red when they see white and yellow, and they are all red, thinking about the fact that there is really no opponent around the Han, so there is wine today and drunk today, and over time, it has become the current situation.
It is sad that there is no opponent for the big man, but now that there is an opponent again, he finds that he can no longer lift his weapon, which is even more sad.
Fei Qian believes that the imperial model is the most appropriate for the current feudal society. If you want the empire to develop steadily, you can't rely on a hot-headed or non-hot-headed emperor, but you need to have a stable cabinet. The emperor is best a symbol, anyway, didn't Dong Zhongshu say that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, then simply hold it to the sky, and don't worry about the troubles of the world.
As for the hundred schools of thought, aren't they the House of Representatives and the Senate in their original state......
"Confucianism can be lawful, Taoism can be close to the people, law can control officials, soldiers can determine the country, agriculture can raise people, business can be rich, and Mo can strengthen industry......" Fei Qian said slowly, "All things are born, and all things can be used; There are all kinds of things in the world, and all kinds of things are materials. Originally, there was no distinction between advantages and disadvantages, all of them were usable things, how could one be used and one degraded, contrary to the way of heaven and the world? ”
When Cai Yong heard this, his throat grunted a few times, his eyes widened, his beard trembled, he pointed at Fei Qian with his finger, and then said in a deep voice: "It's nonsense!" ”
"Jade can be Zhang, grass mustard can be a dog, dare to ask the master, what is useless?" Fei Qian did not flinch because of Cai Yong's reprimand, but continued to say slowly.
"That's not what the old man meant!" Cai Yong glared at Fei Qian again and said, "...... Dogs can be compared with jade...... Thou art good, but thou art unworkable...... You...... Alas......"
Cai Yong said halfway, but he didn't continue, just pointed at Fei Qian with his finger, and then let out a long sigh and twisted his head to the side.
On the peach mountain, the scenery is naturally extremely beautiful, whether it is Cai Yong in the Han Dynasty or Fei Qian in later generations, there is not much difference in the criteria for judging the natural scenery.
Cai Yong Courtyard is the most elite place on the peach mountain, sitting here you can watch the rising sun, watch the sunset, see the mountains, watch the rain and fog, you can lie down and watch the stars, hug the furnace and enjoy the snow, you can see the students wandering on the bluestone slab in groups of three or five, reciting the scriptures between the mountains and rocks, and you can also see the ups and downs of the Zhuang He in the rice fields around Pingyang, and watch the farmers busy below.
Naturally, this is an extremely beautiful view, and whoever sees it will be filled with joy and happiness.
But at the moment, Cai Yong didn't feel much happiness, just felt troubled, because on the current issue, Cai Yong and Fei Qian's opinions are a little different......
Cai Yong's meaning, Fei Qian is naturally clear.
Cai Yong also knew this, so he was a little angry when he saw Fei Qian's gag.
"Master......" Fei Qian bowed down, then was silent for a moment, and said, "This may not be a good idea, but it is ...... to be a good opportunity at this time."
Cai Yong turned his head and looked at Fei Qian, who was also silent for a long time before he said: "The world is turbulent, how about you?" ”
"Master, the disciple is confused, please give me advice...... Fei Qian said.
Cai Yong stroked his beard, then raised his head and said, "Let's talk." ”
"In ancient times, knotting ropes to remember, if there is no Cangjie to make words, there will be no article inheritance, dare to ask at that time can there be knotted rope people sneering for the writer? Yao Shun Dynasty, the people of China and Dongyi, Nanban, Xirong, Beidi are no different, all to herd cattle and sheep, hunt beasts for a living, if there is no Shennong to plant grass, there is no way to cultivate, dare to ask at that time can there be animal husbandry hunters to destroy agricultural growers? Fei Qian said, "Han Taizu cut the white snake in three feet, defeated the Chu Xiang thief, fixed the Han industry, and built the capital Chang'an, can there be rules to follow?" If today's ills are presented, evil desires are rampant, can there be a perfect cure? ”
"The disciple has watched the Fanbang text, but if there is a teacher, he can strengthen the country for decades, but there are hundreds of schools of ...... in Huaxia Tianlai" Fei Qian bowed his hand and said, "Dare to ask the master, is this lucky, or sad?" If not, is there another way? How can a temporary strategy be used for thousands of generations, and if the doctrine is broken, how can it lead thousands of households? ”
"The things of eternity, even if they are pearls, have been passed down to the present day, and they have rotted like dust. When the world changes, people should also change, and change will be common for a long time. The general trend is already like this, and the disciples just follow the trend......" Fei Qian said loudly, "If my generation can't use a long sword, hit a hundred zhang, lift a horse, and soar for thousands of miles, even if he is still alive, what is the difference between death and death?" ”
Huaxia came from the wilderness, and it was bumpy and bumpy all the way, which was completely a slow transformation from barbarism to civilization, and such a change, how can it be said that there is any fixed charter? Didn't you just go down a little bit of temptation, and then go down a little bit of temptation?
Fei Qian didn't have anything else, but these experiences in later generations might make the people of Huaxia take a little less detours.
The most damned problem of Confucianism is not that they seize power, nor that they occupy the imperial court, this behavior is something that any sect will do after it becomes a climate, so there is nothing to blame. The biggest problem of Confucianism is that it quotes scriptures, or overemphasizes the classics, which is the most fundamental mistake, that is, like the Taoist "immortality", it belongs to the defects brought out from the mother's womb and is difficult to correct.
In order to make up for such shortcomings, and then developed such a freak as the modern literature and classics, far-fetched and tried every possible way to explain the so-called "small words and great meanings", and found the basis for its behavior from a few words.
When was the Confucian classic?
Most of them are from the ancient Yaoshun to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period......
But even if there is the rule of Yao Shun, but at that time, the Chinese people were only one million, and the land under their jurisdiction was only thousands of miles, and then they insisted on using the method of governing the country at that time as the criterion for governing the current and even future generations, how could there be no problems?
Although Huang Lao also has shortcomings, the laissez-faire freedom in the area of governance has given the society a certain space for development, so whoever uses Huang Lao as the governing policy, the society can prosper for a period of time, and this is the reason.
After the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty, the bloodline theory of the ancient nobles gradually faded, and when it came to the Qin Dynasty, it was worthless.
Therefore, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang roared, these ancient nobles tried their best to take the Qin Dynasty off their horses, and then when they turned around, they saw a ruffian climbing up while they were fighting......
I wanted to lift it again, but I found that the blood on my body had dried up, and the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years and thousands of years had been consumed in one war after another, so I could only stare and watch a pavilion chief become an emperor.
Well, at least a little better than Qianshou.
These ancient nobles had no choice but to accept the reality temporarily.
Liu Bang, who became the emperor, of course knew the power of these ancient nobles, in order not to let these ancient nobles have a chance to take a breath, they cut leeks again and again, generation after generation, Liu Bang's descendants also persevered in eating leeks and cutting leeks, until these large leeks were packed up, scattered, but they didn't notice that countless grasses grew on the land where these big leeks were stationed......
The ancient aristocratic class was basically wiped out, but a large number of new large landowners emerged.
Times are changing......
Cai Yong's meaning is that although Fei Qian's idea is good, these emerging big landlord classes will not easily let go of their interests, so we must consider the emergence of a "turbulent world" situation.
According to Fei Qian, it is explained that now is the best time, because the chaotic times like the early Han Dynasty are coming again, and since the original sect cannot cope with the changing situation, then only let the sect change......
Cai Yong's head slowly drooped, looked at Fei Qian, frowned and said, "Chicken and dog thieves can also be used?" ”
"Roosters can graze their livestock, and dog thieves can sniff out thieves. The so-called gold is not enough, no one is perfect, the above should think about employing people, so that people can use it, why worry about no one available? Fei Qian replied.
Cai Yong asked again: "If the world is available, who will do mulberry picking, ploughing fields, building roads, and laboring?" If everything is available, no one can use it. ”
Fei Qian smiled: "The master is too worried. In the land of Pingyang, who are the laborers? If they are all employed, then they will find those who are not available. ”
"Hu Man?" Cai Yong thought for a while, nodded, and said, "It's not impossible...... However, Hu is easy to rebel...... Indoctrination policy...... Hmph, you're pretentious......"
"Confucianism and Taoism are practiced in parallel, soldiers are in town, and within the jurisdiction, after three generations, there will be no nonsense......" Fei Qian did not deny.
There is no doubt that the current Han Dynasty has the most advanced technology, culture, and products, but it is the characters of these brainless superstructures who are pressed to the ground and cannot move.
The small-scale peasant economy is deliberately advocated in order to control the number of wealthy classes.
In order to ensure that their exploitation can be effective forever from generation to generation, the hukou system was created.
There are all kinds of people, they are ruthless to the extreme, and they are squeezed to the extreme, but externally, they like to use a tolerant attitude, saying that people here are stupid and quick to make money......
It's a wild land, it's a miasma land, it's worthless.
That's the people of Fangwai, that's the barbarians, and they're worthless.
Then he cowered in this big pit in China from generation to generation, becoming the only Gu King, lying on the people of Huaxia to suck blood.
Fei Qian wanted to crack through this hard shell.
Worthless?
Grasslands can be used for grazing as a source of livestock, woodlands can be used for felling as a source of construction, and most of the world's areas that can be inhabited and set foot in have resources that can be used.
Northern Xinjiang is bitterly cold, and there is still land to graze, and Xianbei people can come, why can't the people of the Han Dynasty go?
The miasma in southern Xinjiang is not the same as if someone has crossed over, Buddhists can come, why can't the people of the Han Dynasty go?
There is a drought in the Western Regions, and there are still people selling goods, and the people of Daqin can come, why can't the people of the Han Dynasty go?
East China Sea, hehe, as long as the news of gold and silver everywhere on the Three Immortal Mountains in the East China Sea leaks out, believe it or not, there will be a large number of people willing to act as a Magellan of Han Dynasty China?
Even if ordinary Han people don't go, they can still use barbarians and merchants.
There is nothing wrong with using the internal population as slaves, it is a historical regression, but if all the external population is used as slaves, it will be replaced by colonialism, and such an inside-out idea has been brewed for thousands of years, but it still has not succeeded.
When was the Han Dynasty the most powerful, naturally it was when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beat the Xiongnu to the point of crying wolf, even if such a strong price was paid, even if it was only one generation or two generations, it was enough to make the surrounding countries remember the strength of the Han Dynasty, and so far they did not dare to act rashly.
The energy of the Chinese people is amazing, and in such a land, as long as the ruler is a clear-headed and strategic person, then it is almost a sure thing that his country will become the hegemon of this land.
The premise is that there is not too much infighting and corruption.
If all the Chinese people can know that this ruler is really changing and struggling for the masses, then the Chinese people will work hard to achieve that goal and that dream even if their families are ruined.
In order to fight the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought the entire social economy almost exhausted, ten rooms and nine empty, men were scarce, and the whole society was full of grievances, but a guilty edict was promulgated, and the Chinese people forgave Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Because the Han people knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was really fighting the Xiongnu, not looting money and enriching his own pockets in the name of fighting the Xiongnu......
Give the Chinese people a piece of sincerity, and the Chinese people will inevitably return a piece of sincerity. In this world, is there a people who are more hard-working, more orderly, and more diligent than the Chinese people?
If not, then why can't the people of China stand at the top of the world?
Of course, there is still a long way to go.
Cai Yong looked at Fei Qian, and after a long time, he shook his head, showing a trace of fatigue, and sighed: "...... Thou knowest ...... If it is successful, it is certainly a generation of heroes, and the incense will continue for thousands of generations; If it fails, it is not an exaggeration to rip the flesh and cramp, break the bones and scatter ashes...... Have you thought about it? ”
"It's a long road, and it's a good way to go." Fei Qian bowed.
Cai Yong closed his eyes, and after a long time, he muttered in a low voice: "...... I knew ...... Say, what do you want to do with the old man? ”
"Master......" Fei Qian still wanted to explain, but when he saw Cai Yong's eyes, he could only smile and smile, "But there is one thing, I am willing to ask the master to revise the Han Law ......"
