Chapter 86: The Naturalization Debate
This winter, unexpectedly cold, this is not yet the winter month (the eleventh month of the lunar calendar), the water surface has frozen, on the fifth day after Pang Tong left, heavy snow fell in the Handan area, shrouding the whole world in a vast expanse. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Bu is also rarely idle, the rhythm of life in ancient times is always not as tight as the era of information explosion, even if he is busy, he will not be able to exhaust people to death like later generations, and Lu Bu's Hussar Mansion has a complete work system, which is divided into categories, and when the problem is presented to Lu Bu's case, it is actually something that is truly meaningful after being inducted, summarized and reviewed by the scribes of the Hussar Mansion.
Therefore, even if Lu Bu doesn't seem to be busy on weekdays, his efficiency has always been the highest, of course, those things that have been filtered out will be checked regularly, and if there is any omission, the person who handles it will be punished.
As for whether someone will seize the loophole in the future, these problems will have to be dealt with only when these things really happen.
"It's just what a time of snow this falls." Lu Bu looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and Zhen combed his hair.
"In previous years, it would have been later." Zhen looked at the snow scene outside the window, and his mood was inexplicably much more relaxed.
"Did the Zhen family reply to the letter?" Lu Bu nodded and asked casually.
"My brother has sent a reply, and the family's land has been handed back to the government, but a few sisters are in the family's ......."
"Don't care about those, the opportunity has been given to them, since they are not willing to give up the things in their hands, but they want to take things from me, there is no such good thing in the world, I am willing to give up, so that your brother has to come to Handan for a trip, before the beginning of spring, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back to Chang'an, there are just some things to discuss with him." Lu Bu shook his head and said with a smile.
"Yes." Zhen nodded obediently, and didn't continue to say anything more, she had already done what she could do, just like Lu Bu said, she wanted to take things from here, but she didn't want to give up what she already had, and let them take advantage of all the good things, why? After all, his sisters are married to women, and many things are not up to them, at best, they are just a microphone between her husband's family and Lu Bu.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhen asked in a low voice: "Husband, you want to go back to Chang'an after the beginning of spring?" ”
"Hmm." Lu Bu nodded, although this vigorous plan for the Juntian system has not yet ended, but basically the people's hearts have been obtained, and it is not meaningful to continue to stay here, but it will make Cao Cao worry that after a long time, it is likely to start another big war, which neither Cao Cao nor Lu Bu wants to see, Cao Cao wants to digest the gains of this battle, Qingzhou and southern Hebei, and Lu Bu will also start a new round of action.
With the population, the roots of the people have been preserved, as long as this equalization system continues to be maintained, Lu Bu's foundation will be completely solid, and the next step is to start promoting other things on this basis.
"Don't want to go?" Turning his head and glancing at Zhen, he said.
"The concubine doesn't dare." Shaking his head: "It's just a little scared." ”
"Don't worry, they get along very well, but there is one thing, it's better to avoid asking about political affairs, these are not your business." Glancing at Zhen, Lu Bu smiled.
"The concubine understands." Zhen nodded and helped Lu Bu tie his bun.
"Lord, Xu Shu asks to see." Zhou Cang's voice sounded outside the door.
"Wait in the study." Lu Bu nodded, put on a robe and went out, and when he came to the study with Zhou Cang, Xu Shu was already waiting there.
Although there is no formal allegiance, in the past few days, Xu Shu's position as a subordinate secretary has been really competent, much stronger than Pang Tong, and there is no need for Lu Bu to worry about many things, Xu Shu will help Lu Bu list the core of the problem, and in many things, he will also attach his own opinions, many times, those methods are more refined and effective than Lu Bu's own work, and this book is really easy to use.
"See General." Xu Shu stood up and saluted.
"Yuan Zhi came to me so early, he must have something important to discuss with me, let's say, but what happened to the Juntian system?" Lu Bu sat at his desk and looked at Xu Shudao.
"It's not a uniform field system." Xu Shu shook his head and handed a booklet in his hand to Lu Budao: "This is the information sorted out in Xiliang, Bingzhou, and even Hetao and the Western Regions in the recent period. ”
"It's a bit unstable." Lu Bu shook his head: "With the loose organization of these people, they can't shake the rule of our army, and I also made it clear that if you want to become a Han family, you must first learn the etiquette of the Han family, wear my Han family clothes, and speak the official language of my Han family, if you can't even do this, why should I let the people of the Han family accept them?" What qualifications do you have to call yourself a Han Chinese? ”
"With all due respect." Xu Shu frowned and said, "Although the class hierarchy established by the general on the grassland can be effective in the short term and fight against the grassland Hu tribe, it is not a long-term solution after all. ”
"This is true." Lu Bu nodded, the pyramid system cannot last long, because according to the promotion system established by Lu Bu, if all the second-class people become Han Chinese, let alone a prairie, even if Lu Bu extends his hand to the distant countries of Guishan, Anxi, and Daqin, it may not be enough.
"The lord intends to naturalize the barbarians, which is at a loss, but since ancient times, the sages have been mainly to pacify, and to be influenced by kings and virtues, so there is a Xiongnu southward recovery." Xu Shu frowned.
"And yet...... The sages did not succeed in fact, and if the Southern Xiongnu were really naturalized, there would not have been a Hetao War before. Lu Bu nodded the table: "Yuan Zhi, do you think that the sages' statements and practices are completely correct?" ”
"This ......" Xu Shu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer, the sages must be right? This question, in fact, the two great masters of Lushan Academy have spoken in a marginal manner, how to say it exactly, Xu Shu can't remember, but whether it is Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui or Pang Degong, although they read through the subset of scriptures and history, they rarely quote scriptures, but if you listen to them, at the core, you can feel that it is from those subsets of scriptures and history.
Xu Shu once asked Sima Hui a similar question, because Xu Shu would encounter similar doubts in the process of doing learning, but Sima Hui's answer at that time made Xu Shu a little confused: If one day, Yuan Zhi felt that he was wrong, then he must be wrong.
That's a no, right? But it doesn't seem to be the case.
"Then let's put it another way, do you understand the Yuan Zhizhi of Shi Yi?"
Xu Shu nodded.
"As a simple example, today I slapped you, and tomorrow you die, this may be that I was too heavy, and I should be sentenced according to the law, but if you die in ten years, do you have to blame me?" Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Naturally, I can't." Xu Shu nodded.
"In the same way, the doctrine of the sages, some of which seemed to be understandable at the time, but after decades or even hundreds of years, they may not all be right, the times are going by, and learning should also keep pace with the times, just like my Han law, compared with the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there will naturally be many differences, which is acceptable to everyone, why must we copy the experience of the predecessor in learning and doing things?" Lu Bu said with a smile: "The Han Dynasty has not been able to completely solve the problem of naturalization in the four hundred years since its founding, which has shown that Wang Hua can't really completely convince Siyi in this matter, not that it is not good, but it is used in the wrong place, in terms of concepts and customs, the difference between Hu and Han is too great, if you want people to accept your point of view, sometimes you have to use some tough means, just like Qin Shi Huang unified the script, the car is on the same track, and the book is the same text, and to this day, how many people remember the words of the other six countries?" ”
"The general wants to emulate the First Emperor?" Xu Shu raised his head and looked at Lu Bu in surprise.
"It's not counting, comparing these Qianghu with the Six Kingdoms at that time, Yuan Zhi is inevitably too exalting them." Lu Bu shook his head: "I have also read the Pinghu book before Yuanzhi, from Wang Hua's point of view, Yuanzhi has done it to the extreme, establishing a gathering place for all ethnic groups, and letting them accept Wanghua, in the short term, it can indeed make them grateful to Dade, but Yuanzhi, you remember, it is temporary, this kind of gratitude cannot be passed on from generation to generation, even if this generation is willing, as long as they retain their own words, clothing, and customs, one day, it will become a future trouble, and at that time, our descendants may not be able to suppress these people, this book is a palliative treatment." ”
"Then I wonder what the general's plan is?" Xu Shu frowned and looked at Lu Bu.
"Brilliant idea? How can there be a magic plan in this world? As long as you see the crux of the problem, unless there is no solution, the strategy to solve the problem is not too complicated, at least conceptually, it is not too complicated, and there is no need for a clever solution. Lu Bu said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi can know, why is it not my race whose heart must be different?" ”
"Listen up." Xu Shu shook his head and said.
"It's simple, it's different."
"Different?" Xu Shu was stunned.
"It's just different, they dress differently than us, they speak differently than us, and they are still very abrupt in the crowd, so everyone instinctively rejects." Lu Bu nodded.
"But if one day, the Huns wear the service of the Han people and speak the words of the Han people, just like the Huns and Xianbei people who have been promoted to the Han people after being meritorious service outside, does Yuan Zhi still think that they are very different from the Han people?" Lu Bu pointed to the solemn men outside the door, most of them were Xiongnu, Xianbei and even Tuge, Qiang and others who were released from the slave soldiers and were admitted to the Han nationality after meritorious service, but now it looks like they are not much different from ordinary Han soldiers.
"Can't tell." Shaking his head, Xu Shu smiled bitterly.
"It is true that the Hu and Han people will cause some chaos, but in the long run, it is the most economical way, and what we need to do is to control the balance and make the process smooth, not indiscriminately suppressed."
"Teachable!" Xu Shu thoughtfully, saluted Lu Bu, and then retired.
Today's remarks do not prove how smart Lu Bu is than Xu Shu, but opens a door for Xu Shu, a way for him to jump out of the inherent Confucian thinking and think about problems from another angle. (To be continued.) )
