Chapter Two Thousand One Hundred and Eight: What I Can Do

"Wen Ru, have you been dealing with official documents alone recently?" Chen Xi looked at Li You, who was sitting in the main seat, and asked with a little curiosity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"After all, these things need someone to do, Zijing and they all have things to deal with, so I will deal with the official documents." Li You slowly stopped writing and looked up at Chen Xi, "The problem is solved?" ”

"It's solved, it's going to be set on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and it's a good day to say it's a begging festival." Chen Xi smiled and said, "In the face of the current situation, I inexplicably feel that we have won, but I don't know why we are a little disappointed." ”

"It's just that we won the Central Plains, and when we win the world, let's say this again." Li You looked at Chen Xi with an awe-inspiring face, "The loss is because you won too easily, although the strategic plan is different, but it is roughly according to your plan step by step, winning nature, too unexpected." ”

"Are you ready?" Chen Xi asked.

"I don't have an heir, my only daughter has chosen the Western Regions, what qualifications do others have to veto?" Li You's cold voice made Chen Xi moved, but at the same time, he was a little frightened.

If there is anyone in this period who can make Chen Xi feel fear, then Li You is definitely one of them, whether it is will, ability, experience, or determination, it makes people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.

Intelligence, ability comparable to Li You's guy, willpower, determination, and experience are definitely problems, and willpower and determination are not a problem, and intelligence and ability are difficult to compete with Li You.

The smarter the person, the more slippery his head is, smart enough to Li You's degree, and he still has such a will, Chen Xi has only seen one, and that is Li You himself.

"Li Yuan is gone." Chen Xi sighed.

Chen Xi knew very well what it meant for Li You to send his daughter to the Western Regions, and what was the relationship with Zhuge Liang's children?

Joke, Li You is telling all the officials under his rule, I, as a veteran, still send the only bloodline to the Western Regions, what about you, even women are not as good? Or do you think that your heirs are more precious than the pearl in my palm? What a terrible mindset!

"She has that credential." Li You pointed to his head and said, "She is better than me back then, to be precise, I have seen many young people, not to mention Kong Ming, Xiaozhi and other amazing talents, even if they are inferior to Jiang Gongyan and Xu Yuanzhi." ”

"My qualifications are probably only at the level of Wen Manji and Liang Ziyu, but that's just qualifications." Li You said slowly, which can be regarded as an explanation, it can be seen that Li You's expectations for his daughter are quite high.

Chen Xi didn't know how to answer, Zhuge Liang was almost a figure who suppressed an era, even a genius like Lu Xun was slightly inferior, this life Fazheng abandoned a lot of shortcomings, experienced many people to train, less than those twenty years of wasted years, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is amazing.

Jiang Wan, Xu Shu and others are almost all rare, they can be described as mainstays, and it is a little difficult to calm down the troubled times with their own strength, but there is no problem in stabilizing the situation in the central government.

As for Wen Hui, Liang Xi, and Zhang Ji, although they are also very good, how to say it, there is a gap compared to those guys above, there is no big problem for them to stabilize the situation on one side, but they are still far from the level of overall planning.

Such as Chen Deng are basically at this level, their vision, their vision, their limit is like this, and now Li You boasts that his qualifications are like this.

"I used to not even be able to awaken my spiritual talent, which is probably at this level, but the qualification is just a very rough criterion, in my opinion, many people have the qualification to awaken the spiritual talent, but except for myself, I haven't seen a second one." Li You said with a certain mockery, as Li You who stood at this height with this qualification, he was indeed qualified to mock.

"I told Yuan'er that she has this qualification, and told her that if she opens her spiritual talent one day, there is still a slight chance, if she doesn't open it, even I can't shelter her when she gets there!" Li You said slowly.

Spiritual talent is wisdom, experience, the sublimation of experience, the integration of everything that has been learned, and the sublimation of spiritual thought.

Chen Xi couldn't help but think about his thoughts about some things in the past, and then think about his current views on some things, and couldn't help laughing, today's me, not yesterday's me.

"You're so cruel." Chen Xi spoke after a while.

"Since she chose to be my daughter, she should take this responsibility and let her understand where her privileged life comes from." Li You said indifferently, without the slightest wavering, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"If Li Yuan is a man, I won't say anything if you act like this, but as a woman, you are too cruel." Chen Xi shook his head and said.

"If it were a man, I am afraid that I would have calculated for the sake of the heirs like Jia Wenhe." Li You's mood was slightly low, but he returned to his normal appearance in an instant.

Chen Xi hesitated and didn't know how to answer this sentence, is it wrong to calculate for the heir, to be honest, this is just human nature, not to mention that Jia Xu did not violate the law to do this, not to mention that Jia Mu still has enough talent in this regard.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Li You restrained his expression and said calmly.

Li You also knows that there is nothing wrong with this, but Jia Wenhe is changing, in order to prove himself, in order to show what he has learned, he is young and frivolous, just like all the sons of the family, he is self-confident and conceited that he can sweep away the injustice of the world.

Later, he succumbed to reality, or shifted strategically, and began to think about how to achieve his wishes, and finally went against his heart and completely became the object of his disgust.

"It's always changing." Chen Xi let out a long sigh, and then said with a smile, "This is also normal, even if we have a lofty goal, all of us have different ways to achieve it, and our personal experience and wisdom are also destined to our own ways." ”

"Don't say that we can't be the same, even if a person has five fingers and a length of one, it's normal to have different ideas, as long as the ultimate goal is still the same, it is far better than other forces." Chen Xi looked at Li You and comforted, Li You was simply a martyr.

"I'm just mentioning it in passing, don't care." Li You said calmly.

"Well, I'll discuss something with you, that's it." Chen Xi saw Li You's estimation, so he diverted the topic and gave Li You a detailed description of the national bonds he thought about some time ago, "Do you think you can do this?" ”

"If there is anything that can't be done, just strengthen supervision, as for the county and county governments to forcibly borrow the people, if the state government and the central government don't see it, the country will be finished." Li You sneered and said, "This situation is just a regulatory issue. ”

"That's the case, it's just that this kind of person who is easy to have problems, and the person who sits in my position, if he is not careful, something big will happen, we need to think for future generations, after all, what we are doing now means a way to deal with it for future generations." Chen Xi said helplessly.

For the ancients, it would be very cautious to take risks and do something that has not been done by predecessors, but if the predecessors had relevant successful cases, then the descendants would naturally imitate the trajectory of the predecessors and reproduce the beginning, and Chen Xi was worried about this.

"There are many positions that are prone to big things, so it is necessary to seek their own politics in their positions and take responsibility at alternate times, there is no absolutely safe position in this world, and it is possible to choke to death when drinking, but how can you waste food because of choking." Li You said disdainfully.

In fact, Li You even wanted to say that Ji Xiang can still tolerate it, the system or something, even if there are certain problems, they can be corrected day by day, and they don't have to care at all.

"Well, in that case, I'll get everyone together in a few days, let's have a good discussion, and the interest rate needs to be calculated, although those families have absolute confidence in us after watching the parade, but don't do this kind of thing for them in vain." Chen Xi nodded and said, after all, he has been guarding against the invasion of the family.

"This kind of thing doesn't matter anymore, the family can only follow in our footsteps while I'm alive, they don't have much choice, but, speaking of Zichuan, do you think the current system is right?" Li You's casual tone was filled with an inexplicable caution.

"Definitely not." Chen Xi said without thinking about it.

"Then let me ask again, if there is a better way, and it has been determined, will you go and overthrow the system?" Li You asked with a little curiosity, "If the current system is wrong, will you overthrow the system?" ”

"Wen Ru, have you been affected by anything?" Chen Xi glanced at Li You with a strange expression and said, "I'm curious why you would ask such a question." ”

"Well, I read the theory of contradiction and practice before the abridgement." Li You looked at Chen Xi calmly and said, "It should be said that it is a banned book, it is worthy of a banned book, right?" ”

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said, "What do you think after reading it?" ”

"A saint is insignificant." Li You looked at Chen Xi with a calm expression and said.

"Have you ever thought about execution?" Chen Xi nodded silently, it was true that the saint was insignificant.

"No, it's too far away, it's thought-provoking, but we're very far from that." Li You sighed and said.

"It's called the economic base that determines the superstructure." Chen Xi smiled and said that democracy still accounted for most of the society in later generations, but when the democratic trend of thought was born at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it still failed, and the economic foundation is an important reason for determining the superstructure.

"The economic base determines the superstructure." Li You lowered his head to think, but did not speak, and only spoke after a long time, "But those two books are essentially overthrowing the privileged class, right, and you are actually identifying with this class, right?" ”

"No way, when the moral level is not reached, people who are hostile to the powerful, after becoming powerful, will block the road to the rise of the powerful more vigorously, after all, I am not the bottom, and I can't betray my own class." Chen Xi sighed and said, "I can only say that I am a reformist. ”

"Ask yourself whether it is the privilege itself that is hostile, or whether we are hostile to the privileged because we are not the privileged ourselves." Chen Xi said sarcastically.

"I'm a reformist, am I?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and asked, without answering the second question, Li You himself is a privileged person, so he can understand, Chen Xi nodded when he heard this.

"I can't be a reformer, I am from a class, if I want to give birth to a reformist, unless the great era collapses, the world is in chaos, and someone reinvents the world, otherwise I can only reform, relatively speaking, I am already a radical reformist." Chen Xi mocked himself with a wry smile.

"I see, the reason you're looking for me is to remind you that you're right." Li You looked at Chen Xi silently and said, "The reason why the reformists let the people live better is not because they found out in their conscience, but because the reformists are still alive, and you are also jealous!" ”

"Well, if I really want to say it, the so-called equivalence of power and duty is already my compromise." Chen Xi poured a cup of tea, at this time, there were only the two of them left, and there was nothing that could not be said, since Li You had finished reading the original manuscripts of those two things, it was nothing to tell the truth.

"Talk about myself first, and then talk about you." Li You directly cut off Chen Xi's words, and said with a calm face, "You and I have a lot of similarities, you and I are both doing things, neither is utilitarian, or don't do it, once you decide to do it, put a lot of things aside." ”

"Power, money, and other things, these can be put aside for you and me when we do the affairs of this country as our own." Li You looked at Chen Xi with a solemn face.

Chen Xi nodded, "If you want to achieve great things, you can't be selfish, you must be upright." ”

Li You didn't deny this, but continued, "The difference between you and me is that you didn't smash the courage of the Central Plains to rebuild the world, you are looking ahead and looking backwards, what you are thinking about is how to transfer the contradictions, instead of facing the difficulties. ”

"I can do a good job in my time, the reformers, and other factions will have their own way out, as for the path of the reformists, the path of the reformists, the dynastic cyclical law, the overthrow of privileges, these are all up to others to try, from West Asia to Central Asia, and then to South Asia, the testing ground is an opportunity for the reformers to verify their correctness." Chen Xi said silently, "I can't do it." ”

"I'm afraid they're not as good as you!" Li You said with a sneer.

"But time and experience will prove their correctness, and all I can do is to protect the basic plate of the Central Plains, and wait for the emergence of ideas that can truly transcend the periodic laws of dynasties, the imperial system, morality, and democracy and freedom." Chen Xi's eyes were meaningless.

"Manpower is sometimes poor, I know very well what kind of strength I have, I can't solve these problems, but I can leave a solution to the problem, pure practice and contradiction are too lethal for now, I need to cover up the color, camouflage, and wait for the economic base to rise day by day, and naturally there are characters who can peep out of it." Chen Xi was extremely calm.

"The status quo must be maintained until then?" Li You may also understand Chen Xi's will, and asked rhetorically after a while.

"Yes, until then, the status quo must be maintained, the people don't care about the system, they don't care about politics, they only care about their own lives, you give them enough food and clothing, solve the problems they face, they don't care if it's the monarchy, or other systems." Chen Xi said very seriously, the current system cannot be moved.

Chen Xi would rather transfer the contradictions than try to reform the system, although with Chen Xi's current situation, even if he tries to change the law, he may not fail, but his background is destined to do so will inevitably lead to the separation of his wife, and he will inevitably kill a river of blood.

Even after in-depth research, feudal socialism, which is incomparably close to the imperial system, is actually extremely far away if it is really to be explored.

The feudal society, which has not even bloomed the flower of evil, has not yet reached the peak of feudal society, and at this time, even if it is reform, even if it is to improve social productivity, it must reach the peak of feudal society one step ahead.

The economic foundation has not yet reached the standard, so he wants to deepen the reform of the entire social system, Chen Xi is not stupid, he can't do this kind of death-seeking move, even if it is a constitutional system, even if it is a hypocrisy, it needs to come step by step, Liu Tong's regency in the case of a tripartite compromise has exceeded Chen Xi's expectations.

But even if it can be as Chen Xi calculated, Liu Tong will step down after more than ten years, and he will probably be quite far away from the constitution, as for the hypocrite, in Chen Xi's eyes, it is almost impossible before the next dynastic cycle law comes.

Liu Tong's current situation can only be said to be a tripartite compromise, and there is still a very long way to go from the hypocrite, and it can only be said that Chen Xi has left a back road for the descendants of three hundred or even five hundred years, so that future generations will have the choice of a constitutional monarchy when they choose.

After all, Chen Xi, who is a predecessor, has already done this, as for whether it is a tripartite compromise or a hypocrisy, when the era of constitutionalism is needed, then there will be people who have their own six classics.

Chen Xi is a reformist after all, and theoretically speaking, the class reformists are all self-helpers of their own class, subject to the exclusion and squeezing of the reformers and other factions and reforming their own class, if this class is the ruling class, then unfortunately, the ruling class reformists seem to have found their conscience, but in fact they are only alive because of those reformers who want to overthrow the ruling class.

The self-help of the ruling class itself means the great strength of the reformers.

"But it's okay, at least not yet." Chen Xi said with emotion.

If he travels to the era of gate valve politics, Chen Xi must think about whether to suppress the reformers with the old era and let the gate valve politics continue, or to overthrow the gate valve politics with the reformers, and then collapse with the rotten gate valve politics.

That era was not an era in which reformists could survive, no matter which path they took, it was a road full of thorns and bones, and no matter which side wins, there is no need for the other side to exist, a real zero-sum game.

As for the current era, at least there is still a way for reformists to live, although it cannot be perfect, but Chen Xi can barely stop the pace of the times and ensure a win-win situation.

There is no need to treat the people as ants, burn and loot the Hu people, nor do you need to kill the families of the Central Plains, kill the dynasties, kill the incomplete culture, and do not distinguish between the left and the right.

Now this method is not good, but in Chen Xi's opinion, it is not bad, it should be between the second worst to the second best, and sometimes such a choice is enough, in the face of the second worst plan and the worst Dingge Central Plains plan, you can only pinch your nose and admit it.

In the end, there are still options, and after all, it is not the worst option.

"This is my answer, all I can do is this step, and I don't have a very good way to go any further, many ideas, many theories, are not possible in this era, and any doctrine has its own background of birth." Chen Xi said with a sigh.

This is why Chen Xi revised all the doctrines born after the Han Dynasty, not because of advanced thinking, but because of different perspectives.

There is nothing wrong with these ideas, whether it is psychology, contradiction, or practice, in fact, it is not wrong, and the pragmatism in the thinking of the Chinese is enough to ensure that even if these theories have traveled through thousands of years to the Three Kingdoms, there is room for them to play.

The reason why Chen Xi revised it is only that the perspective, productivity, and economic foundation can not be discussed, but universal morality, thinking mode, and education level are all different.

"You just left an introduction, as for how to write the content in the future, it depends on the ability of each family?" Li You opened the official document and said while reading it.

"Yes, that's all I can do, no matter how much I can't do, after all, what I interpret is no longer the original content, the Six Classics note me, I note the Six Classics, and my commentary adds my thoughts after all." Although Chen Xi was laughing, his expression was obviously depressed.

Li You silently reviewed an official document, and then put it away and looked at Chen Xi, he could see the helplessness and loss from Chen Xi's face.

It is obvious that Chen Xi, as a reformist, has also tried his best, although he has done very well, very well, and better than anyone before, but this has not achieved Chen Xi's own goal.

"Your approach will never be as you want it to be." Li You put down the pen and spoke after being silent for a while.

"But at least I've been moving towards that state, even if it never happens, at least I'm not lost." At this moment, Chen Xi almost faded all the glitz, and said with a resolute face.

"Well, at least it's going in that direction, and it won't fail outright like I did." Li You said slowly, "I, the reformer, has failed, and now it's up to you to get it, although it is destined to be unfinished, people's hearts, hey, economic foundation, hey, I didn't expect that in the end, everything will return to the origin of Datong society, a good morality!" ”
