The reason why Yan Xing has a little impression of Wang Fu is not because of the goodwill between him and these famous scholars and Confucians, but because of the story between him and Huangfu Gui, one of the famous generals of this dynasty "Liangzhou Sanming". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is said that the general of Duliao, Huangfu Gui, stepped down and returned to Anding, and the villagers had money to buy the Haoqiang of Yanmen Taishou, and also left their posts and went home, so they went to meet the famous Huangfu Gui generously. As a result, Huangfu Gui lay down and slept and didn't come out to greet him, and only after the man had already entered the door did he ask teasingly: "How beautiful are you eating geese in the county in front of Qing?" (You used to eat goose meat in the county guard, it tasted good, right?)"

Soon, someone reported that the villager Wang Fu asked to see him at the door. Huangfu Gui had always heard of Wang Fu's reputation, so he was so happy that he hurriedly got up, and before the straps of his clothes were fastened, he came out to greet him with his shoes, and entered the house with Wang Fu's hand, and sat with him, extremely cheerful.

Even the famous Huangfu Gui has so much respect and attention to Wang Fu's scholars, after this incident, Wang Fu became famous in the state and county, and the people of the time rushed to recite, saying: "Seeing two thousand stones in vain, it is better to cut a seam." "Praise the virtue and nobility of the Huangfu Gui and the talent and learning quality of sewing the poor Wang Fu.

And the book written by Wang Fu before his death was because it was to ridicule the gains at the time, and he did not want to show his name, so it was titled "The Theory of the Hidden Husband". Although "The Theory of the Hidden Husband" is not allowed to be secular in it, but the theory of saving the country and saving the world in it has a lot of shortcomings that cut to the heart of the times, and the middle-aged Confucian scholar did not mind taking out one of these volumes, and it seemed that he really wanted to mention Yan Xing.

It's just that when Yan Xing saw the dense official script on the bamboo slip, he couldn't help frowning, and his face turned slightly red.

Since the beginning of this dynasty, most of the dynasties are "Kanto out of the prime minister, Kansai out of the general", although the land of Liangzhou is fierce, there are many people who practice war, but the literary style is not prosperous. When Yan Xing wanted to urge Ma Lin under his account to read more military books and learn more Braille, Ma Lin still complained with others in private, "The big husband is famous and rich, but he has big ears, who can learn this?" ”

In this atmosphere, Yan Xing had to admit that although his reborn body was extremely brave and could be aggressive on the battlefield, it was really not his specialty in the matter of bowing down to the experience. In the past few years, he can only barely be called a rough literary and ink in literary affairs, and most of the books he has read are military strategy history books, which are too far behind the scholars' Confucian scholars' high-minded speeches and quotations from scriptures.

"Those who are respected by the emperor are also in heaven; The Emperor loves the nurturer, and so does the people. Today's ministers are under the heavy position of the king, and the shepherds are loved, how can they be restless and profitable, and raise and help? ”

So when he saw the beginning of this volume, his scalp suddenly went numb, and the bamboo slip in his hand seemed to be heavier than his own iron cone, but even so, he could only bite the bullet and continue to look at it with his eyes wide open.

"It is a gentleman who serves as a Sili person, and when he reaches the top, he thinks of Jinxian, and he does not complain about the former residence, and he does not hate it before and after. The book says that "the heavenly workers replace it". The king of the law and the heavens established the official, so the lord did not dare to give it privately, and the loyal ministers did not dare to accept it in vain. ”

Yan Xing grinned, the meaning of this sentence should probably be to explain the good deeds of officials, but where does this road to save the country and the world begin. The middle-aged Confucian scholar also seemed to see through Yan Xin's inner thoughts, he smiled silently, pointed to the mat and motioned for Yan Xing to sit down again, and then he straightened his clothes and sat down again.

He took back the scroll of bamboo slips from Yan Xing's hand, pointed to the small characters in it, and continued:

"Yi" said: "Virtue is thin and respectful, wisdom is small and big, and it is rare to do it." "If virtue is not worthy, its misfortune will be cool; If it can be not, it will be a great disaster. Wang Jiexin clearly analyzed the human feelings, and pointed out that the selection and appointment of officials is important, if it is used by non-people, the people are unbearable, and there will be complaints from all over the world. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged Confucian paused for a moment, and then continued:

"Therefore, when today's son sells officials in the West Garden to make up for the lack of the country, so as to profligate the court, it is actually to cure hunger in aconite, quench thirst in poison, and before it enters the stomach, it has been cut off from the throat. If the local officials lose money to gain their positions, they will be added to the people under their jurisdiction ten times and a hundred times, so that although they temporarily gain small profits, and shake the country's foundation, the society will inevitably be overturned! ”

Listening to the middle-aged Confucian scholar talk about the Son of Heaven Xiyuan selling officials to collect money, Yan Xing bowed his head, the former Han Emperor Wu Emperor built a lot of construction, repeatedly conquered the Huns and the country was insufficient, and only took out the virtual lord to sell, and when today's son and the queen mother are quite persistent in this piece, as a way to accumulate wealth and gather wealth, selling officials is like forcing donations, before the officials took office, they got Xiyuan to hand over their own money to buy officials, from Guan Neihou, Hu Ben, Yulin into the money is different, even the three princes and nine secretaries of the current dynasty can not be missed, tens of millions of public money, five million Qing.

In order to enrich the internal treasury of the West Garden, the Son of Heaven also kept transferring official positions to collect money for selling officials again, and this practice of drinking to quench thirst completely disrupted the entire bureaucratic system, and the officials had to exploit the people in order to raise enough money, which became more and more critical for the already crumbling foundation of the Han Empire.

"The city is black, and the tail will be untouched. The public is the official, and the son is the apprentice. One dies, a hundred rides. The car is in the middle of the river. The female workers in the river counted the money and used the money as the room. The stone is soothed with yellow sorghum. There is a hanging drum on the beam, and I want to hit it. ”

This is a nursery rhyme made by someone with a heart for this matter, satirizing the queen mother and the emperor's greed for money and misleading the country.

However, at the moment, Yan Xing didn't have much heart to discuss the things such as the Son of Heaven selling his official beard, what he wanted to know was the road to save the country and the people. So Yan Xing said seriously word by word:

"However, the method of selling officials and accumulating wealth is a small skill of power, and Mr. must have the way to enrich the country and secure the people to teach me!"

The middle-aged Confucian was confident, and he groaned slightly and said:

"The way to enrich the country and the people is to love the day and enrich the people."

Seeing Yan Xing's puzzled look, the middle-aged Confucian scholar continued to explain:

"The reason why a country is a country is because it has people; The reason why the people are for the people is that there is a valley; The reason why the valley is abundant is because of merit; The reason why the power can be built is because of the power of the day. And those who enrich the people are based on agriculture and mulberry, and the tourism industry is the end; Hundreds of workers, to use-oriented, to the end of the decoration; The merchant is based on currency and ends with oddity. If the three keep the basics and leave the end, the people will be rich, and if they deviate from the basics, the people will be poor. ”

The "day force" here is the time spent engaged in production. In Wang Fu's "Theory of Hidden Husbands", it is the basic element of the common people engaged in production. Without daily strength, it is impossible to engage in production, and it is impossible to enrich the people and the country. Then contact the later "The day of governing the country is long, so its people have more than enough leisure and strength; The days of chaos are short, so the people are poor and their strength is insufficient. ”

The general meaning that Yan Xing can understand is that the politics are clear and sympathetic to the people, the people are at ease and have enough time to engage in production, and if the politics is chaotic and disturbs the people, it is impossible for the people to devote themselves to production with peace of mind.
