Chapter 114: The Monster of the State (I)
In the palace of the king of Qi, Teng Geng, who had a better view of the portal and the region than Mencius, was making a big deal in front of the king of Qi......
He changed his previous respectful appearance, and his mouth was like a river: "King, my Qi State asked Zhao State for Chang'an Jun as a hostage, originally as a bargaining chip to return the city, as a proton, he should be respectful and careful, stay in the Proton Mansion, and don't cause trouble." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, Chang'an Jun relied on him as the nephew of the king, and he was extremely rampant, openly walking on the streets in foreign clothes, which brought bad the atmosphere of Linzi. It is said that many good families think that Hufu is convenient, and have rushed to follow suit, and the racecourse looks up, full of large cloth sheep clothes, fresh silk belts, and this is one of them. ”
"In the Book of Words, our people are in turmoil and lose their morality, and they are not drunk but acted; The smaller the bigger the state, the more it is not wine...... The sages have never advocated drinking, but Chang'anjun brewed spirits to get drunk Gongzi Qing's doctor, and the nobles of Linzi competed to Chang'anjun to buy spirits, and Chang'anjun didn't know for what purpose, and he also asked for it. Dr. Gongziqing holds a high party all day long, I am afraid that it is not the blessing of the country. ”
Teng Geng seemed to have forgotten who helped the crown prince and Kuang Liang force him to drink when Chang Anjun first arrived, and then he mentioned that Chang Anjun disregarded the laws of heaven and earth in the dog days, and asked the magicians to forcibly make ice cubes......
"That's it, now, this son once again said that the rain is just natural, and there is no providence. The day before yesterday, he used magic on the gate, so that light and heavy things fell to the ground at the same time. All of the above is enough to confuse the people, disrupt the order of the Qi Kingdom, and also cause the heavens and the earth to be angry, so that the king will be affected, and the third is also ......"
King Qi's face couldn't show joy or anger, and he asked lightly: "You said that Chang'an Jun's demonic words confused the people and angered the gods, but what basis is there?" ”
Teng even pointed to the sparse rain outside and said: "The king doesn't know, since the beginning of June, the light rain has been falling for half a month, and the people on the streets of Linzi have spread false rumors, saying that Chang'an Jun is the incarnation of the rain master Chi Songzi, who can call the wind and call the rain, and this rain is called by him." There are also foolish people who write the name of Chang'an Jun, engraved on the mulberry wood, and quietly set up obscene shrines to worship, the foolish people do not know that the true saint is in the palace, but they believe in a Zhao country's son, which is distressing, but also can not help but feel frightened......"
King Qi seemed to be angry, coughed a few times, and said hesitantly: "I never thought that in the past two months, my nephew has suddenly become famous, and he is higher than the prince......
Hearing him say this, Teng Geng was overjoyed, and said again: "However, in the long run, he will inevitably deceive people's hearts and cause a catastrophe." Don't leave this son in Linzi again, or kill him, or chase him, and hope that the king will decide! ”
……
In the Proton Mansion, the two are also talking about the past.
"Chang'anjun was right, at that time, we thought that although Teng Geng was a disciple of Mencius, he was also the son of Teng Guo, and when Teng was not yet destroyed, he also had some friendship with my peasant family. Unexpectedly, he originally promised to be good, but when he went to meet the king of Qi, he suddenly changed his words and slandered the king of Qi, saying that we are madmen who want to go against the order of the upper and lower levels, and that there is no harm in the country of Qi, and he asks the king of Qi to expel us and never accept it! ”
Thinking of the past, Xu You was angry, so the second attempt of the peasant family to enter the Qi State died again.
In fact, Mingyue felt that the reason why the farmers were repeatedly frustrated was not unrelated to the ideas they promoted.
From its inception to the present day, the peasant family has always been on the side of the small yeoman farmers, who want to restore the primitive communism of ancient times, advocate equality for all, and feel that the plight of the peasants can only be understood by letting the king of a country and his subjects work together and cook together. From the peasant's standpoint, they also resisted treacherous merchants, and even preached the idea of the equivalent exchange of goods and goods, and boycotted the currency issued by various countries......
In the eyes of the Confucian scholars, who advocate "those who work hard to govern people, and those who work hard govern people", and regard themselves as those who work hard and despise the old peasants and nurseries, the peasants are a great rebellion and contrary to the ethical norms. Mencius and Teng were more able to help the development of the farmer's family, and the farmer was too simple and naïve, pinning their hopes on their rivals, which was really the opposite of each other.
Thinking like this, Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the farmer's plight, although some of their ideas were destined to be unrealizable in the troubled times of the Warring States, but that down-to-earth and simple heart was commendable. Historically, the contribution of the Warring States peasant family to the development of agricultural production cannot be denied by other schools, and the Han Dynasty's ability to feed a population of 50 million was closely related to the agricultural reform laid by the peasant family.
Mingyue asked, "I don't know where the farmhouse is now?" ”
Xu You smiled helplessly: "Ye Lao took all his disciples and family members to live between Qi and Chu. ”
It was originally a Huaiyi land, with a remote location and many swamps, and the people liked fishing and hunting rather than farming, and the farmers' activities in the local area were difficult. This time, Xu You came to Zizi just to try his luck and find out if there was a nobleman who could accept the farmer, otherwise, they would have to die there.
Mingyue listened, couldn't help but move in his heart, it is said that the historical peasant family was depressed in the East, and finally went to Qin to take refuge in Lü Buwei, and also participated in the creation of "Lü's Spring and Autumn", the peasant family entered Qin, so that Qin's already powerful agricultural productivity to a higher level, completely threw off the six countries, and accelerated the pace of sweeping the world.
In line with the idea that weakening the enemy is to strengthen herself, Mingyue immediately spoke:
"Sir doesn't know, I will soon leave Qi and return to Zhao, or I may be able to get a township and a town from the queen mother and the king, although the fief is small, but it can completely obey my orders. If the farmer doesn't dislike it, then I will definitely send someone to welcome the old man and the farmer, and row a thousand acres of good land for the farmer to try farming. ”
……
"When I go back to Mingye Lao, I will definitely give Chang Anjun a satisfactory answer!"
In front of the mansion, Xu You said goodbye to Chang'anjun with satisfaction, this trip to Linzi was beyond his expectations, not only heard the theory that made the farmer's eyes shine, but also was invited by Chang'anjun.
He also heard that this prince was deeply favored by the regent of Zhao State, and would reward many good fields and beautiful houses every year, if the former Chang'an monarch could not keep these things, but now, he has gained a reputation corresponding to his status and wealth in Linzi, and has made great contributions to the country, and the people of Zhao will firmly remember this, and it is not surprising that he will get the real seal after returning and become a real monarch.
The peasants are now cornered, Qilu has Confucianism to suppress and not accept them, the state of Chu is a corner of peace, the government is chaotic, the ministers are all ignorant and short-sighted, unwilling to let the peasants enter, although the Qin State is heavy on agriculture, but unfortunately it is too far, the marquis also received the peasants back then, but as soon as they heard the theory that they asked the monarch to work with the people, he sneered and let people send off the guests......
Maybe going to Chang'anjun's territory to farm is also an option for farmers? The only thing to worry about is that the Zhao people value industry and commerce over agriculture.
In fact, Mingyue now has nothing but a little fame and money, and even the fief is false, but it doesn't prevent him from empty-handing white wolf! He was determined to win the peasant family, and repeatedly vowed that after returning to China, he would definitely advocate heavy agriculture and let the peasant family have room to play in Zhao State, hoping to hear the peasant family's reply as soon as possible.
After seeing Xu You go away, he was about to go back to his home to continue to live a low-key life, but at this time, an uninvited guest came......
"Chang'anjun, the king has a call!"
The face of the confessor was not as kind as in the past, but gloomy, and he wanted to speak and stopped.
Mingyue knew the corrupt official's hobby, and immediately stuffed a small bag of gold into his sleeve.
Hou Sheng's face turned a little pale, let Mingyue come over, leaned in his ear and lowered his voice: "Chang'anjun, get ready to leave the Qi Kingdom, you have caused a big incident!" ”
