As the Farming and Animal Husbandry Festival approaches, even in Luoyang, a new city far away from Qingzhou, you can feel the joyful atmosphere of the Farming and Animal Husbandry Festival.

When the first agricultural and animal husbandry festival was established, Liu Bei planned to use it to fight against the Confucian idea of moderation and modesty, cultivate the nation's martial spirit, confrontation consciousness, and participation consciousness, and make the people more belonging and cohesion through the participation of the whole people.

The Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival is the earliest statutory festival in Qingzhou, in order to support this festival, Liu Bei stipulated that the Farmers' Day will be a ten-day holiday on the basis of the seven-day work and rest system. This ten-day holiday coincides with the time when the farmers who have worked hard for a year have finished harvesting and enjoying the fruits of the harvest, and the farmers with money in their pockets just take advantage of the big vacation to go into the city to compete, play and consume.

A few years ago, the war in the Central Plains, Qingzhou's overproduction led to economic contraction, it happened to be the more than ten days of holiday, so that the businessmen got a chance to breathe, smelling the smell of businessmen, in all the subsequent agricultural and animal husbandry festival celebrations, spared no effort to add commercial factors. With the support of a large amount of money and the active participation of the people, the agricultural and animal husbandry festival is becoming more and more prosperous.

Since then, Qingzhou implemented the solar calendar, and stipulated that the solar calendar New Year has a ten-day holiday, and then, the Qingming Festival and the sickle festival, the clothes festival merged together to become the three major festivals in Qingzhou. Among them, especially the agricultural and animal husbandry festival contains a variety of entertainment and competitive activities, the people's participation is the highest and the most popular among the people. Qingzhou businessmen feel the business opportunities, as they do business in the world, they will also bring the customs of this festival to all parts of the country, before and after the agricultural and animal husbandry festival, businessmen will raise funds to hold various activities, each other, celebrate the harvest of the year, and take the opportunity to promote and display all kinds of goods in the venue where the people gather, the agricultural and animal husbandry festival has become a sharp weapon for Qingzhou businessmen to sell.

Therefore, Luoyang New Town, which is mainly composed of Guangrao, Izumo, Xuzhou and Jingzhou business groups, before and after the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival, all kinds of activities continue, and all kinds of novelty plays make the emperor in the deep palace can't help but be moved, so he has the idea of patrolling Mount Tai.

After more than 10 years of operation, the agricultural and animal husbandry festivals of Qinghai, Hebei, Youzhou, and the four states have also begun to evolve due to different regions and customs. Where horses are abundant, equestrian and carriage races are liked; Fish are abundant and boating, swimming, and fishing competitions are held. However, among all the competitions and entertainment projects, only Guangrao City is the largest and most complete. As a result, many Hirorao and Izumo businessmen are reluctant to pass up this opportunity, and they will end their work early and rush back to their hometowns to participate in and watch this annual show.

The emperor, accompanied by the guards, also went to the Qingzhou trading house to watch several performances organized by the Qingzhou merchants, and this kind of rendering activities held in advance were of course not as good as the authentic celebrations in Qingzhou. With the departure of the big merchants in Qingzhou, the emperor, who was attracted by various legends, finally remembered the words of Huangfu Song, and he made up his mind to go to Qingzhou to watch the agricultural and animal husbandry festival in person.

The emperor's daily itinerary is a polite regulation, seeing that the agricultural and animal husbandry festival is imminent, the emperor is worried that he will rush over slowly, and he will not even be able to catch the tail of the festival, in order to see the full version of the agricultural and animal husbandry festival activities, he issued an edict order: Qingzhou will suspend the start of the agricultural and animal husbandry festival celebration this year, and the emperor will only be allowed to carry it out after his arrival.

As soon as this edict was issued, the entire Qingzhou, Hebei, Youzhou, and four prefectures were stunned, and the Qingzhou merchants in Luoyang heard the news, and they all looked at the palace with the same eyes as idiots: "If it is not held on the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival, can it still be called the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival Celebration?" ”

Liu Bei was not in Qingzhou, and the ministers of Qingzhou did not dare to call the shots, so they continued to make preparations while flying to report to Liu Bei. To tell the truth, Hebei and the state are okay, in the Qing and Youzhou people's sense of identity with the emperor has been very indifferent, Youzhou, when the turmoil came, the court had the intention of abandoning Youzhou, and as soon as the turmoil in Youzhou subsided, the first thing the court thought of was to ask for tribute, for this reason, the hearts of Youzhou people to the court have been extremely cold.

As for Qingzhou, under Liu Bei's closed management for many years, it has become an independent small kingdom, and the people only remember that when wars were frequent, the emperor sent eunuchs to ask for bribes. The older Qingzhou people still remember that they were exploited by the powerful and officials in the past, and the young Qingzhou people pursued meritorious deeds under the guidance of Liu Bei. In Qingzhou, except for a few high-ranking officials, no one among the people took the emperor's edict seriously: "Since Lord Xuande didn't speak, what should we do." All the people of Qingzhou muttered to themselves like this.

Seeing that Qingzhou had no intention of stopping preparations for the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival, the emperor was anxious and urgently recruited Lu Zhi into the palace and asked Lu Zhi to come forward to stop it. Lu Zhi advised: "Shengshang, there is a farming festival this year, and there will be next year, don't let the people of Qing, Hebei, You, and the four states be disappointed because of their own selfishness. ”

The emperor was silent for a long time, and he wanted to explain to Lu Zhi that he was sealing Zen for the first time, and it was true to watch the show, but after a careful understanding, Lu Zhi's words did not have the slightest intention of letting him seal Zen - sealing Zen is a national ceremony, and the preparatory work cannot be completed in a year. Lu Zhi Confucian, understand the etiquette system, he didn't mention Feng Zen at all, only urged him to rush to see the excitement, and the words faintly warned the emperor not to enter Qingzhou lightly - just take a look at Mount Tai.

The emperor pondered for a long time and asked Lu Zhi: "According to what Qing saw, who will accompany the three armies of Huben, Yulin, and Yunlu?" ”

Among the guards formed by the emperor, the Yulin Army, composed of Qingzhou citizens and scholars, was the most effective and disciplined, and the Yunlu Army, composed of scholars from various counties, had the most loose discipline. However, the emperor's tendency to bring the Yunlu army into Qingzhou, because the source of this army is relatively mixed, the emperor is most assured of the heartfelt heart of this army. However, Lu Zhi gave the opposite suggestion: "Your Majesty can take Yulinjun to go, Yulinjun was born in Qingzhou and knows more about the laws of Qingzhou. ”

Lu Zhi was kind, but the emperor didn't appreciate it, the Yulin Army was born in Qingzhou, in case there is a change in Qingzhou, this army is not as reassuring as Cao Cao's Tiger Army. And Yun Lujun came from all over the country, the least easy to be bought, the emperor made a little calculation, and made up his mind: "I have made up my mind, take Yun Lujun to accompany me, Liu Qingzhou has everything there, we don't bring any sundries, set off tomorrow, and enter Mount Tai lightly." Lu Zhi silently retreated.

Qingzhou's laws are strict, spitting on the street, littering will attract punishment, at this moment when the plague is raging, Liu Bei's small army entered the south but did not catch the plague, relying on the strict implementation of health regulations, this iron fact, so that Qingzhou officials at all levels more strict implementation of health norms. Yun Lujun, a group of arrogant and loose outsiders, will cause the officials in Qingzhou to strictly guard and keep an eye on. In the eyes of the Qingzhou people, the majesty of the emperor is not comparable to Liu Bei's laws, and once there is a conflict, it will trigger the xenophobic thinking of the Qingzhou people. The proud Qingzhou people, when they can't bear it anymore, will not have the slightest scruples.

The emperor quickly entered Taishan County, which was the day of Liu Beiping's rebellion in the city. As soon as he entered Taishan County, the emperor clearly felt the difference here, along the road is a dense fruit forest, it is late autumn, and the fruit trees are full of fruits. Bright red cherries, emerald green apples, golden oranges, pink and white peaches, dark red dates, vermilion plums, green and yellow pears and various fruit stalls are placed on the roadside, attracting the soldiers of the Yunlu Army to leave the ranks from time to time, burrow into the fruit forest, and eat a full meal.

Qingzhou's wealth was beyond the emperor's imagination, and such behavior often attracted abuse, chasing and beating, and crying in other places. In Qingzhou, as long as it was not deliberately ruined, this kind of behavior did not cause fierce resistance from the people along the way. On the contrary, many of the Yun Lujun, who helped the fruit farmers with their picks, were well received, and when they left, they brought a large basket of fruit with them for their companions to taste - of course, the owner of the fruit forest did not forget to put a name in the basket, indicating the name and origin of the fruit, and welcomed passers-by to come and negotiate the purchase.

At this time, Liu Bei's leading the fierce side of the people was revealed, and with the sound of a gong, countless villagers armed with knives, guns and sticks came out of all directions, lined up in battle formations, and beat these people to the point of bleeding. In the end, it was all thanks to Lu Zhi, who accompanied the driver, to intervene, and the villagers were unwilling to stop.

After a few such lessons, Yun Lujun became much more honest. However, the real severe test has not yet come, and the emperor and his party are about to enter Pingyin City, which is the headquarters of the Third Legion. Pingyin City, known as the gateway to Qingzhou, is very strict in the implementation of health rules, looking at the ignorant Yun Lujun around him, Lu Zhi can only shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Overstep, overstep", along the way, there was only one word left in the emperor's mind, and in the eyes of the emperor, many things in Qingzhou exceeded the etiquette system. For example, when the emperor went out on patrol, he should be on the loess mat road, and the people would prostrate on the side of the road and kowtow, hoping that the Son of Heaven would enjoy their dedication. Now, Taishan officials actually take the official road as a cement pavement as the reason, refuse to pave the loess on the road, their own car driving all the way, the people not only do not kneel on both sides of the road and kowtow, but turn their heads to each other, inquire about the origin of the car, even if the Yun Lujun shows the identity of the emperor, the people are just suddenly enlightened Oh, continue to solicit business.

"Damn, damn it", the emperor thought angrily, the local officials did not inform Li Min to kneel to welcome him, and did not close the street to the road, and even asked the emperor not to cross the road, but to walk on the right, and the slow-walking emperor was also overtaken by the Qingzhou chariots and horses who ignored the majesty of the emperor from time to time. How dare they surpass the Emperor? This is no longer a transgression, this is a great disrespect, and the nine clans need to be killed. What is hateful is that Lu Zhi has a look of indifference, Yun Lujun has long been seduced by the colorful world, and he can't even find a person who is a fox and a fake tiger.

A group of boys with swords and bows in their hips, riding horses chasing each other to overtake the left side of the emperor's chariot, words and laughter drifted into the emperor's car: "Let's not enter the city, the front is the last post station in front of Pingyin City, we will rest there and go around the city", "That's right, we have to go quickly, I heard that Liu Hun Gongzi has arrived, and he is about to swear a mastery, it's late, but he can't catch up with the call." ”

The word "conscription" was shocking, and when the emperor heard this, he urgently summoned Lu Zhi and asked: "Duke Lu, those children were talking about conscription just now, did Qingzhou start recruiting again?" ”

Lu Zhi replied calmly: "Don't blame the saint, the few people who passed just now are the boy scouts, every year in late autumn and early winter, the school is closed, and the scouts start routine winter training, and these scouts must go to participate in the winter training." ”

The carriage and horses were sparkling, the emperor closed his eyes in the car and pondered, Lu Zhi chased the carriage and horses at a trot, and talked in front of the emperor's window, panting. The road in Qingzhou was smooth, and unconsciously, the speed of the emperor's march was much faster than usual, Lu Zhi was old, and his legs and feet gradually couldn't keep up, the emperor opened his eyes and asked: "Boy Scouts, I don't know much, but I heard that Liu Bei is good at planning small profits, and the Boy Scouts will gather and train nearby, which will reduce a lot of expenses, why do they want to go around Pingyin City?" ”

Seeing Lu Zhi's face flushed, the emperor realized that the emperor was fast, knocked on the wall of the car to signal the coachman to slow down, and said to Lu Zhi with pity: "Lu Gong, don't run after the car, go and inquire about what's going on first, and by the way, why the emperor is here, Mount Tai is not clean on the street." ”

The carriage slowed down, and Lu Zhi also slowed down, took a breath, and replied in a slightly appreciative tone: "The second question asked by Your Majesty, I know the answer, Liu Bei governs the place, likes the way of Lao Zhuang, and takes not disturbing the people as the assessment standard for officials at all levels. Along the official road in Qingzhou, there are post stations every few miles responsible for catching thieves, delivering mail and receiving business travelers. The laws of Qingzhou are strict, and the people abide by the law, so the security situation along the way is excellent, and the local officials do not clean the streets in order not to disturb the people. It was with this in mind that the old minister did not blame the magistrate.

Your Majesty, at this moment, people coming and going on the main road are all going home for the holidays. The traveler's itinerary is tight, the emperor travels all the way, if the street is cleaned, the pedestrians are blocked behind the emperor, and when His Majesty arrives at the foot of Mount Tai, the people who participate in the celebration have not yet arrived, then the celebration will have nothing to see, it is better to go with them, I will wait slowly and then rush to go, so that Your Majesty can enjoy himself. ”

The emperor was moved by Lu Zhi's words, and replied with his chin bowed: "Guan Zi said: Cang Liao knows etiquette and etiquette. Listening to Yun Lujun, they entered the orchard along the way, as long as they did not destroy the fruit trees, picked a few fruits and ate the fruit farmers did not resent at all, and the thieves in Qingzhou were not prosperous, it seemed that it had a great relationship with the prosperity of the people. However, the folk customs here are too fierce, and if they don't agree with each other, the neighbors from all over the world will roar in, except that they dare not attack the emperor, and my servants have not been less beaten by their sticks. ”

Lu Zhi smiled awkwardly and replied, "Your Majesty, Yasheng once said: If you lose the world, you will lose your people. The so-called people who lose their people also lose their hearts. There is a way to win the world: to win the people, to win the world; There is a way to win the people: to win their hearts, to win the people; There is a way to get his heart: gather with it as much as you want, and don't do anything evil.

The people of Qingzhou are happy to die for Xuande, without him, the people want, and Xuande gathers with him; What the people are evil, Xuande Beshier also. Your Majesty, there is nothing difficult in governing the world, and it is good for the people. Xuande governs the four states of Qing, Hebei, You, and You, and the government decree may be rebellious, but the people in the land he leads are all living in peace and prosperity. Your Majesty, the Han government has been so corrupted that if there is nothing wrong with the political system, it is unreasonable. If Your Majesty wants to prosper the Han Dynasty, the old minister implores Your Majesty to be sure to study the politics of Qingzhou quietly - perhaps, the rules we set before are not reasonable; And what we have identified as the paradox of Xuande may be the best way to resolve the chaos. ”
