Chapter 1297 - Constant Birth and Perseverance
Inside the big tent, it seemed to be a lot quieter.
Du Yuan and Zhao Yun both secretly looked at Fei Qian, who was thinking.
After a while, Fei Qian suddenly smiled, broke the silence and said, "What does Zilong think? ”
"......" Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "Lord, when Yun first heard about this, he didn't know what was going on, how could he put his beak in it?" ”
Still such a cautious person.
Fei Qian nodded, and didn't ask Zhao Yun to say anything, but turned to look at Du Yuan, and said with a slight smile: "The meaning of Wenzheng is known...... Wenzheng has always been diligent, Beiqu, Pingyang, and Lishi, all of them are like this......" Fei Qian smiled slightly, and expressed his appreciation for Du Yu's attitude of safeguarding the interests of the Zhengxi Group.
However, appreciation is appreciation, there are some things that he can't say now, can't he explain the Xiaoice River period to Du Yuan at the moment, and say that there are more than ten or twenty years left at this point in time?
Throughout the history of China, under the condition that the weather does not change greatly, the external nomads can only be rampant for a while, only a few Xiaoice periods, resulting in abnormal climate, the cold line has moved southward, and finally forced the nomads to continue to go south, internal worries and external troubles, and finally made the Chinese farming dynasty overthrown by the nomads.
Several of the largest periods of social upheaval in Chinese history are indeed closely related to the four Xiaoice periods, and are not entirely caused by the failure of the bureaucracy. From the end of the Yin Shang dynasty to the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty was the first Xiaoice River period, the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, and the Western Jin Dynasty were the second Xiaoice River period, the late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, and the early Northern Song Dynasty were the third Xiaoice River period, and the early Ming and Qing dynasties were the fourth Xiaoice River period. At that time, the temperature dropped sharply, causing drought in the north, a large reduction in grain production, and the formation of decades of violent social turmoil and war, and long-term famine was the fundamental cause of the unrestrained expansion of war.
Fei Qian said: "The West River is turbid, and the custom has been around for a long time. Today, if you are in a hurry to arrest the legal net, do not forgive each other, there are many people who are inclined to the humble, and their people are stupid, they don't know what to do, and they are afraid to follow each other, then the flow of people and things is scattered, how can it continue? As far as the people are concerned, if there is permanent production, there is perseverance, so send their sons to give it to increase their permanent production...... It is the common sense of human beings to avoid their advantages and disadvantages, and even if they are greedy and despicable, they cannot follow the same routine. ”
“…… The people have constant production, and the party has perseverance......" Du Yuan frowned, muttered a repeat, and after a while, he suddenly arched his hand and said, "The land of the West River, that's exactly the case!" If the people have no permanent production, they will be centrifuged! The words of the lord and the voice of gold and jade should be remembered from afar...... Now the confusion has been solved, far from the responsibility, do not dare to leave for a long time, hereby announce to the Lord to resign......"
Du Yuan thinks that this is what Fei Qian said, the Hu and Han people in Xihe have been living together for a long time, and many Han people are gradually in a semi-wandering state like the Hu people, which is naturally not conducive to the stability of politics and people's livelihood, so he sent Zao Yi to teach agricultural and mulberry techniques, so that these people in Xihe can stabilize and no longer follow those local heroes to fool around.
After thinking about it, Du Yuan felt that he couldn't keep up with Fei Qian's thinking on the one hand, and he was a little ashamed, so he wanted to do more to understand some of Fei Qian's policy thoughts, and on the other hand, he really couldn't leave the office for too long, otherwise the family probably wouldn't know about it......
Therefore, Du Yuan did not delay, and said goodbye to Fei Qian and prepared to return to Xihe.
Fei Qian nodded and said: "That's fine, when there is a certain Yin Mountain matter, come to Xunwen Zheng to bother for a cup, and the scenery of the West River is ......."
Du Yuan said with a smile: "The subordinates will definitely sweep the couch to greet each other!" ”
Fei Qian stood up, sent Du Yuan to the big tent, and then said goodbye to Du Yuan. After Du Yuan left, when he looked back, he saw Zhao Yun's thoughtful appearance, and couldn't help asking, "What is Zilong thinking?" ”
Zhao Yun respectfully arched his hand, led the iron armor on his arm to tinkle, and said, "Lord, just said 'constant production and perseverance'...... Could it be from Mencius? ”
Zhao Yun looked at Fei Qian's figure, and felt a little bit in his heart, for Zhao Yun, Fei Qian's idea of letting the people have permanent production made Zhao Yun very excited, after all, Zhao Yun spent those days in exile back then, and his memory was really fresh, so when Fei Qian asked, he couldn't help but want to discuss it, and no longer hide his thoughts.
As Fei Qian walked towards the big tent, he motioned for Zhao Yun to come up and said, "...... Zilong recently read Mencius? ”
Mencius talked about the relationship between constant production and perseverance several times in his writings, "The people are the way, those who have constant production have perseverance, those who have no permanent production have perseverance, those who have no permanent production have perseverance, they have no perseverance, and they let go of evil and extravagance, all of them are enough", "Those who have no permanent property and have perseverance, but the man is capable, if the people, there is no permanent production, because there is no perseverance." There is no perseverance, and there is no way to ward off evil and extravagance."
What Fei Qian and Du Yuan said was not completely prevarication, nor was it exactly like Du Yuan said that what he guessed was just a way to build a stable place, and there were more far-reaching considerations.
First of all, after all, the land problem is a serious problem not only in feudal society, but even in later generations.
Expansion can solve part of the problem, but it is still impossible to avoid mergers in China, even if it is the Juetian system implemented by Fei Qian, it can only be suspended, not cured.
Secondly, and the resistance to the implementation of the Juetian system is not small, so Fei Qian also needs to find a political theory for himself, a sage's words as a coat, so Confucius and Mencius's "perseverance and constant production" may be used for it?
It's better to have an upright governance platform than to kill without a heel and a chaotic direction, right?
Otherwise, how can it reflect the superiority of future generations?
Fiji at least understands this aspect.
Of course, Mencius's theory of constant birth is actually problematic......
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Yun skimmed ......"
Fei Qian sat down in the middle, then pointed to the seat on the side, and said, "No need to be restrained, sit, then Zilong knows what is constant production?" ”
Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "Grant five acres of house, one hundred acres of land, mulberry trees under the wall, silkworm baskets and clothes, poultry and cattle and sheep, all of which are constant production and ......."
Fei Qian nodded, it seems that Zhao Yun has really read it, but it is not very accurate, the means of production and living are indeed constant production, but this is only the specific manifestation of constant production, not the system of constant production.
Fei Qian said: "If a hundred acres of land are all constant, why do the people have so much suffering? ”
"This ......" Zhao Yun was silent for a moment, and said, "This is a corrupt official in the countryside, an unscrupulous warrior, a brutal and powerful act, taking advantage of the opportunity of pain and suffering to take advantage of the green and yellow, so he ...... it."
Fei Qian nodded, shook his head again, and said: "That homeless person has no land to do, hungry and cold, what does Zilong think?" ”
"Investigate the lawless, punish the unkind, and grant the homeless." Zhao Yun said sonorously, and he did think so in his heart.
Fei Qian couldn't help laughing, this is the version of Zhao Zilong who fights local tyrants and divides the fields? "There is no lawlessness in the noble right of the Ruoshi clan, everything they say and do is in accordance with the laws of the country, and they also do more good deeds on weekdays, build bridges and pave roads, and comfort widows and widows...... What about Zilong? ”
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If this is the case, if it is used as a screening, the family of the good and the rest can naturally be protected, and it is easy for those who do evil to subdue the law." ”
"Screening? How to screen? In the family, if there are only one or two people, it is easy to say, if there are thousands of people in the family, there is always a difference between good and evil, coupled with the law of the Han Dynasty, filial piety comes first, even if they are guilty, they are mostly those who do not report it......" Fei Qian said slowly, "If you are not brought to justice, what is the use of the law?" If you are guilty of hiding from each other, then what is the place where the Han respects filial piety? ”
"This ......" Zhao Yun moved his lips, as if he wanted to say that he could only catch the bad guys in these families, or that he wanted to let these families clean up by themselves, but in the end he didn't say anything, because Zhao Yun also knew that this was obviously unrealistic.
Moreover, such a plan is too demanding for officials, and the vast majority of local officials cannot do it at this stage, and it is not their own territory. As an official, it is naturally good to benefit one party, but if it doesn't work, it is acceptable to retreat to the next best thing and benefit one or two generations of one's own family.
"In the pre-Qin period, the law was strict, the fields were cultivated equally, and the evil tribes were punished, why were they opposed everywhere? Before Guangwu, the new dynasty Wang Tian, evenly divided the acres of land, why did the wind and clouds suddenly change and the beacon smoke rose again? Fei Qian looked out of the tent and said slowly, "During the period of Emperor Wen, "Words and Soldiers", "Guarding the Border and Persuading Farmers" are all Hongwen for a while, and they also have the meaning of average cultivated land and increasing the people's constant production. What is the fault of the Seven Kingdoms? Chao Gong's fault? ”
Zhao Yun was silent, and said for a long time: "Then the lord, what should I do?" ”
"There are no fixed laws in the world, the good strategy of that time, the poison of today, should keep pace with the times...... Fei Qian suddenly smiled and said, "You can't stick to one time, and there is no way to do it for eternity." ”
Zhao Yun stared, speechless for a while.
It's not that Fei Qian deliberately fooled Zhao Yun, it's just that this land issue is indeed a little difficult to deal with at the moment.
Fight local tyrants and divide the land?
Don't be funny.
To use a system, the society needs to have certain conditions, and the Han Dynasty did not have this condition at all, not to mention that if you beat the local tyrants, you may not really divide the land.
The matter of land, even if there is still no way to properly solve it in the later generations, what way can Fei Qian immediately implement a method that can be passed down for thousands of generations in the Han Dynasty?
In fact, in Mencius's system of constant production, Mencius did not mean to let the people have their own land, but wanted to restore the Jingtian system in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
In the well-field system, the land is state-owned, but the land is allocated to the direct producers for fixed occupation and use.
In Mencius's view, people with a fixed industry are mentally stable, and people without a fixed industry are mentally unstable, and these unstable people can do anything to violate the law and discipline, which is undoubtedly very reasonable.
Because of the land, as soon as the Chinese ruling class realized that it could obtain repeated output, it immediately took it into the harem, and never allowed ordinary people to touch half of it. But the problem is that if the land is completely stripped from the hands of the people, it is inevitable that a lot of things will happen......
There is a sentence that is still very widespread, full of warm thoughts**, this sentence has the second half of the sentence, hunger and cold steal the heart. People cannot be poor, and when they are poor, they can do anything. Stealing is even more trifle. Besides, as far as the average person is concerned, stealing some food out of hunger does not seem to be a great sin.
Therefore, the Chinese rulers creatively exerted their wisdom to separate the ownership and use rights of the land, forming the most basic setting of a typical feudal society, the Son of Heaven owns the fields of the world, but transfers the right to use the land to the vassals, and then the vassals give it to the farmers and the common people to cultivate, and what the ordinary people trade in the market is not the land itself, but the right to use the land......
And then this way and method even continued to later generations.
"If the people have no permanent property, there will inevitably be chaos, and this matter is also known, and the world's corporal families are mostly heirlooms through scripture, how can they not know?" Zhao Yun frowned, obviously puzzled, "If you know, why don't you do it?" If not, how can such a scripture be used for peace? ”
"It's easier said than done...... Fei Qian also nodded and sighed.
Not to mention the Han Dynasty, even in later generations.
Is it not clear to everyone that real estate has kidnapped the local economy, dragged down industrial development, and devoured the wealth accumulated by the people?
Fei sneaked into the Han Dynasty and fell asleep, and sometimes dreamed of the node of repaying the mortgage, but there was no money in the card to repay the scene, and after waking up suddenly, he sat on the bed, and couldn't help but sigh how amazing the pressure of the mortgage in later generations was on him.
Of course, in later generations, there are also many people clamoring not to buy a house, saying that this and that of a house slave are not good, and it is better to rent a house......
But take a closer look, who are those people who tell not to buy a house?
These high-profile people, their family background, account balances and social circles give them the confidence that they will not feel insecure even if they stay in a hotel for a lifetime, do they need to worry about personal settlement?
Do you need to worry about your child's enrollment?
Do you need to worry about moving and becoming a dog if you buy a large item?
Do you need to worry about being swept out of the house by the landlord for all kinds of magical reasons, standing at the intersection with a pile of dead furniture and not knowing where to spend the night, obviously doing things according to the rules and regulations, but because you still have to go to work every day, you have to wait for money every month, and you can't afford to pay the lowest cost of rights protection, so you choose to knock out your teeth and swallow blood?
Therefore, these people who don't need to think about all kinds of problems will feel that the behavior of the Chinese people in later generations who have hollowed out their pockets and want to be house slaves is simply a bad pen in the sandwall.
Ordinary people are not stupid, but not everyone has the two options of better and best, and most people don't even have the option of good, so they can only repeatedly weigh between bad, worse and worst to make the most beneficial choice.
Therefore, Fei Qian could only weigh the pros and cons between the few options, and chose to swallow up the land of the nobles who had no owners, fled and rebelled, and distributed them to the displaced people, the common people, and those soldiers and soldiers who fought with Fei Qian.
Strictly speaking, Fei Qian's current re-establishment of the system of military merits, jue land, etc., has the word "constant production" actually changed dramatically for the item of land ownership?
Unfortunately, no.
However, at this stage, the establishment of a more reasonable and more improved land transfer system than the present stage, so that the people can ostensibly have "constant production" for a longer period of time, will inevitably contribute to the stability of the whole society and subsequent economic development.
Therefore, even if you know that it is actually a fake permanent production, it can still give the people a certain sense of security and maintain social stability, just like the "constant production" of later generations.
"Constant production" must have.
It is also necessary to establish a complete, at least relatively stable, political structure for the redistribution of social resources, otherwise it will still enter the cycle of war.
What's more, efforts to increase the output of some agriculture and animal husbandry at this stage will also help the Chinese people to survive for a longer time during the Xiaoice River period, so it will not be as miserable as in history, so at this stage, fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of all parties and promoting the spread of agricultural technology has become a part of the entire plan of Fidhan.
And for the Hu people in Yinshan, the theory of constant production and perseverance is actually applicable......
"The things of the world, there are those who know that it is easy to do, and there are those who know that it is difficult to do, but the things of permanent production, knowing that it is difficult, and it is difficult to do it......" Fei Qian smiled and said, "The people need constant production, but there is perseverance, and the world can be determined." The people of our generation can only learn from the teachers of the past, even if they are full of thorns, they also need to move forward...... Is Zilong willing to help someone? ”
"The wish of the lord is the direction of the clouds!" Zhao Yun left the table and bowed, his voice was loud.
Fei Qian hurriedly stepped forward, helped Zhao Yun up, patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, praised and comforted a few words, and then said: "The Han people are always prolific, and so are the Hu people...... There is a certain strategy, Zilong might as well lead a front army, go to the left of Gaonu, and guide the ...... according to the situation."
