Chapter 292 A cup of yokan is lost, and a pot of food and soldiers are all ordered

Ascend to Mien, bear the stone Mi Qiu.

There are many sources for this allusion, one of which is said to be from Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin.

As we all know, the reason why Han Xin is respected by everyone is that in addition to his name as a soldier and Liu Bang's unparalleled national warrior, the most important thing is the story of Han Xin, who is a standard son of a poor family, from eating a hundred family meals, lying on his salary and tasting the courage to endure the humiliation of his crotch into a big counterattack story, as well as a good allusion foil of a thousand gold.

This kind of story template is loved by most people.

However, there is another record in the biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin.

It's that when Han Xin was still an ordinary person, he didn't do anything, neither went to work, nor went to farm, he ate in the township every day, and the most rubbed was the pavilion chief, and Han Xin ate a lot of food, and went to the pavilion chief's house on time every day.

So in order to expel Han Xin, the pavilion chief's wife thought of a way, that is, she deliberately advanced the meal order, and the breakfast was still eaten in bed, and she ate it first without waiting for Han Xin to come over to eat, so that Han Xin couldn't eat anything when he came over to eat according to the normal meal.

Han Xin was naturally not a fool, and saw the attitude of the pavilion chief and his wife, so he left in anger and never entered the pavilion chief's house again.

It's a morning cooking. When eating, believe in it, not for food. The letter also knew its meaning, and was angry, and it was gone.

Then after many years, Han Xinfeng Hou Baixiang returned to the village, saw the pavilion chief and his wife, ridiculed the two of them, and the villain was also a fool of virtue, and then threw down a hundred dollars and left.

turned his head and gave it to the daughter of the drifting mother who gave Han Xin a bowl of rice when he was about to starve to death.

Han Xin's attitude towards the pavilion chief and the drifting mother is very different.

The pavilion chief's few stone rice did not end up in Han Xin's return in the end, but the bowl of rice from the drifting mother made Han Xin repay him with a thousand gold.

So this became an allusion to Shengmien and bear Mi's hatred.

And it seems to reflect that Han Xin's character is problematic.

But if you actually think about it carefully, let's put aside the descriptive angle in the biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin, and explore the class characteristics of the characters between Han Xin, the pavilion chief and the drifting mother, which is not difficult to find.

In fact, it doesn't make sense for Han Xin to rub the head of the pavilion, the pavilion chief is undoubtedly the capitalist class at that time, and a dozen stone of rice should be insignificant for the pavilion chief, but the drifting mother, a proletarian old woman who supports herself by washing clothes, a meal is likely to be her only property.

So looking at it this way, Han Xin doesn't seem to make sense, although it's not good to eat and drink for nothing, but Han Xin should probably promise the pavilion chief to thank him in the future, and objectively speaking, these ancient capitalist classes originally used special means to encroach on social resources and squeeze the interests of the grassroots, according to Han Xin's brain, he should have seen this clearly, and he ate at the pavilion chief's house with peace of mind.

So when the true face of the pavilion chief was revealed, naturally this burden of Mien became an enemy.

On the other hand, the proletarian drifting mother took out what little assets she had to fund Han Xin, which is the real favor.

This is a consequence of different perspectives on values.

When most people see this allusion, they only think of the moral concept in it, and few people can analyze this deep meaning in depth and objectively.

It just so happens that Wang Xu is such an idle and boring person.

Therefore, at the very beginning, when the population of the Lonely Bamboo Country first accepted savages, Wang Xu gave Mo Lian a lesson, called the method and effect of grace.

The Guzhu Kingdom took in the Yan people of Zang Tu when they were in the most danger, and provided free accommodation, clothing and food assistance in the early stage, but the Yan people were not grateful to the Guzhu Kingdom.

Why?

Because these Yan people themselves subconsciously think that the Lone Bamboo Country should help them, because the Lone Bamboo Country is rich and willing to take the initiative to help them, in their eyes, it is a kind of obligation for the strong to help the weak.

Moreover, the Yan people even think that they have nothing to do and are diligent, and they have always had a resistance to the Guzhu country, so they have always violated the rules and regulations of the Guzhu country, and used the public for personal gain.

This is because the country of Guzhu does not have the experience of accepting people who have already formed three views.

Yan people's minds, most people in the Lonely Bamboo Country can't understand.

At that time, Wang Xu was in a hurry to lead troops to support the Liaoyang Campaign, and the affairs in the country were handed over to Mo Lian and Qiu He, which led to the Yan people becoming a thorn in the country of Guzhu.

For this reason, Mo Lian was distressed for a long time.

However, after eating a trench and growing wisely, knowing that the way he dealt with the Yan people was not right, Mo Lian immediately learned from his experience, sent people to mingle among the Yan people, understood their habits and thoughts, and finally summed up a set of methods to deal with these Central Plains cultural groups.

That is to take advantage of all the bad roots of the Central Plains people, that is, the evil of human nature.

For example, greed, jealousy, suspicion, etc.

The previous composition of the Lone Bamboo Country was composed of Lone Bamboo People, Wild People, Hu People and Slaves, and the minds of these people were too simple, so there would be no problems in how to govern them in the early stage.

But the Central Plains people are different, and the thoughts of the Central Plains people are so complicated that they are creepy.

Mo Lian took out all the meat hoarded in the warehouse of Haodu to help the refugees of Qi Kingdom, not only because he was really tired of eating rabbit meat and frog meat, but more importantly, the purpose was to smash Zang Tu and Tian An's performances as soon as possible.

A leader is an existence that can lead the team to the right track and dilemma.

Tian An and Zang Di personally received the refugees, for two purposes, Tian An wanted to confirm his position as the leader among the Qi refugees, because the refugees at this time were the most vulnerable.

Although these refugees are not as miserable as slaves, they are also a group of slaves in disguise, they have been living according to the guidelines of the aristocracy for thousands of years, and have developed a sense of dependence on the state and the aristocracy.

And this is the time when leaders are most likely to confirm their status.

If in Qi China, even if Tian An has the identity of a king and grandson, and the name of a virtuous person, these people still only regard him as a topic to talk about and brag, and will not regard him as a leader, their leader is still the pavilion chief of Shili Township, and the leader of the pavilion chief is a higher-level official.

But now it's different, the Qi country is dead, the entire ruling system has collapsed, and a person who can stand up and confirm the position of the leader is needed, and the person in this position is not necessarily how high the status is and how good the reputation is.

This person only needs to give them enough food to feed their stomachs, and they don't even need to provide shelter from the elements.

Therefore, Tian An took a step ahead of Guzhu and dropped the food he had scraped together from the city to help the refugees.

And Zang Di's purpose is to help Tian An and these Qi people on the surface, in fact, in order to unite the Yan people who have been comfortable in the city of Haodu for three or four months, after Zang Di came back, he found that most of the Yan people had lost their previous fighting spirit, and their fighting spirit was eroded by the comfortable life of the lonely bamboo country, which was very threatening to Zang Di's ruling leadership.

So he decided to use the tragic status quo of Qi refugees to remind the Yan people that if they have been attached to the Lonely Bamboo Country and have no autonomy, then sooner or later, they will become refugees again.

If Tian An and Zang Di's goal is achieved, then these hundreds of thousands of Yanqi people will definitely become the biggest hidden danger in the Lonely Bamboo Country, and they do have such a mentality.

Before, Zang Di didn't dare to do anything with thirty or forty thousand Yan people, because Zang Di knew that he didn't have this capital, but now that the number of people has exceeded one hundred thousand, then the status has begun to change subtly.

But Zang Di and Tian An never dreamed that Mo Lian would take out meat to help the Qi refugees.

It's just, ridiculous.

Originally, Zang Di thought that even if he received help, it would be like helping their Yan people at the beginning, using soybean porridge and wild vegetables to help, so that the favors of the two were not up or down, and with the identity of Tian An, the position of the leader of the Qi people was naturally confirmed.

But now, cart after cart of meat shattered all their plans and expectations.

This feeling is like if you fall in love with a female classmate, and you finally bought a bicycle to pick her up from school, only to find that the male classmate in the next class drove a Ferrari.

Meat, for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, an era of low productivity and general material poverty, is undoubtedly the Ferrari in food, and for 90% of the general public, it is basically something that can only be eaten during ancestor worship or major events.

This is true even if you are as wealthy as Qi Min, because usually one bite of meat can be exchanged for ten mouthfuls of grain for the cheapest dog meat.

And there are a lot of jokes about meat, such as Zhongshan Kingdom, because when the monarch Zhongshan Jun was dividing the sheep soup, the sheep soup was not enough, and it was not distributed to Zhongshan Situ Ziqi, so the Ziqi left Zhongshan angrily and defected to Chu to take Chu to attack Zhongshan Guo, Zhongshan Guojun was rescued by two unknown knights when he fled, and Zhongshan Jun asked his name.

The two said that they survived because the king rewarded them with a night's reward, so they swore that they would repay the great favor from generation to generation.

So Zhongshan Jun sighed with emotion: "I lost the country with a cup of yokan, and I used a pot of food for two people." ”

It is enough to see the importance of meat to the general public during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The Qi people in distress were grateful to Dade for receiving a bowl of soybean porridge, not to mention receiving a bowl of hot and fragrant steamed rabbit meat.

Man is a very strange thing, omnivore, seemingly picky about everything, but very picky.

Both meat and food can fill the stomach, but it is generally recognized that meat is innumerably more valuable than food.

This is because humans give extra value to meat and rice.

And this value is precisely a kind of guidance trap.

Therefore, in the grace of the Lone Bamboo Country for appreciating meat and the food given by Hetian An, most of the Qi people were grateful to Dade without exception, and knelt down to thank the Lone Bamboo Emperor for saving his life.

So the performances of Tian An and Zang Di before seemed to have become cheap and humble.

When he saw that the Yan people he brought out of the city were all going to the Xuanniao banner to receive meat, Zang Di cut the iron axe in his hand into the book, and walked towards Wei Ji not far away with a gloomy face.
