Chapter 24 Taking History as a Teacher
May 20th, at the end of the day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Now that there is a foundation for the prototype of a country where all classes can compromise, what kind of road this prototype should take has become a matter for Chen Jian and all the Chinese people to consider together.
The clansmen gave Chen Jian the right to make his own decisions, which meant that Chen Jian needed to take on more responsibilities. In the past, in order to move quickly, I had to give too many concessions to the conservative forces, so that the Xia Cheng system was not like the four.
Now that the old forces have been completely divided, all obstacles will disappear with a war, and war is the easiest solution.
So at this time, you need to think about everything and find the most suitable path after everything is calm.
You can't go fast to avoid pulling eggs, and you can't go slow because Yang Shou is limited.
At night, Jian Chen kept thinking.
Until a few workshop workers crossed the narrow river and came to the right bank.
Familiar faces, familiar people.
The leaders of the workshops came, armed only with a short sword, and handed them over to the black-clad guards after crossing the river.
"The last time I saw your name was on the hangings. Looks like you've survived again. This time you and I only have one night to talk, and either you can call me leader from now on, or we will have to mix each other's blood. ”
Chen Jian didn't talk secretly in the hut, but sat around the campfire in the open field, in front of all the countrymen and workshop workers, and those who had been dead and alive before.
He subconsciously threw a piece of firewood into the fire, and his voice seemed to come from the smoke, and he said lightly and solemnly: "We want the identity of our countrymen." Ji Xia, even if you command well, if you want to kill us all, you will have to pay the lives of seven or eight hundred people. I want to thank you Xiacheng people for teaching us how to fight, and for pushing us into a corner, so that we can be so united again from the time we first slew our Lord. ”
Jian Chen smiled: "Yes, unity is strength, and you are not so easy to be killed now." We have a lot of things to discuss, but I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it in one night. But there are priorities, and there are some things that you are not qualified to talk to me about right now. ”
"Yucheng has been in chaos for too long, I don't want it to go on, and I don't want my people to die on the bricks and tiles of their sweaty workshops."
The surroundings fell silent, and the people around the bright bonfire were like motionless sculptures, while Chen Jian looked around.
In the nearest place, the people of the country were half-crouched on the ground, spears in their hands, and looked up at their leader with anticipation; A little farther away, six or seven people were boiling water in clay pots, mixed with various fragrant blades of grass and a ration of maple sugar; In the distance, there were patrolling soldiers, where Camelina and some flutists were singing, drawing some cheers from further afield.
There were more than thirty people around the campfire, half of the top leaders of the entire Yucheng system, plus more than a dozen leaders of the workshop workers, all waiting for Chen Jian to say the conditions to end this unrest that was already doomed to no result.
For a long time, Jian Chen ordered all the officials in the Yucheng system who were above the hundred people or above the centurion in the army to come here.
In addition to these people with official positions, all the people who are above the eighth rank will also come, and all the people of the country will be selected in a unit of 100 people to choose a person who has no official position and high lordship, and come here together to discuss the future of Xia City.
More than 100 people gathered together, not many people, but they can represent all the political forces and every strata in the entire Yucheng, including the representatives of the Chinese people at the bottom.
Jian Chen needs to listen to them, and he needs them to get what they have to say to everyone's ears.
Because of arbitrariness, there is no need for them to give opinions, just ask them if they agree and accept it, but arbitrariness does not mean that you can turn your back on everyone, Chen Jian is not qualified yet, because Xia Cheng is not a divine right of king.
By the campfire, Jian Chen held a small wooden stick and drew randomly on the ground, thinking about various possibilities.
Everyone was waiting quietly, and no one was disturbing, as if the whole of Yucheng was asleep.
Jian Chen understands that history is the best teacher.
The time of written history in this era is only two years, and I can't find anything similar, but it doesn't mean that the history of the previous life is not history.
Reminiscing about the precocious civilization in his previous life, Jian Chen found a good teacher who was in line with this era and could build a new city.
This teacher appeared in the previous life when the Chinese civilization was from the embryonic to the mature, and called it Qin.
Just like many dynasties in the previous life, the Qin of the country of Legalism in name actually has skin and bones, but the bones of the Qin Legalists are covered with the skin of the Legalists, but they have the blood of the Mohists.
From the quantitatively produced bronze weapons to the standardized methods of attacking and defending the city, the shadow of the Mo family after entering the Qin Dynasty was revealed everywhere.
Qin's law is strict and pays attention to scientific planning, even if it is a small official who guides farming, there are laws and regulations to follow: Chaoyang Slope is cultivated in a few months; The shady slopes are watered in months; how many seeds are sown in an acre of fertile land; There are strict regulations on how much manure to apply on barren land, etc., and it is clear that these quantitative regulations originated from the Mohists who entered the Qin Dynasty, but these Mohists revised the Mohist way, leaving only the Mohist technique.
The state of Qin is also very interesting, quite a bit of the meaning of pursuing the governance of the country, Li Bing, the Taishou of Jiangyan, who repaired the capital of Jiangyan, is obviously a technical official of the water conservancy department, and in general, the technocrats are much stronger than the mouth cannon bureaucrats.
The junior officials or grassroots officials of the Qin State were born in the education system, and the instructors of this education system must be proficient in technology, where did those tech-savvy educators come from? Which of the hundred is it? Go without saying.
It was an era that Jian Chen admired very much, and it was also the era when the civilization of his own race was mature in his previous life, but it was a little precocious and terrifying.
History is always similar, and if you apply the hundred schools of thought to the doctrine, you will see a very terrifying and interesting scene, half of which is half of the chisel and half of the emotion, just like the prophecy of the ancient prophets......
Mo Zhai is the teacher of Mohism, from Taoism to art, no one can shake it when he is alive, and any rebuttal will fall behind.
But before his death, the Mohists had revisionist ideas, which he could still suppress and refute before his death, so that those voices had to be hidden and did not dare to confront them.
And once he died, these thoughts began to devour the Tao of the Mo family itself.
The disciples of the Mo family began to give up the basis of their existence, and some people forgot the criticism of Mozi "double righteousness and rural Lu", and gave up the way of the Mo family to take the art of the Mo family as an official, at this time there was an idea: "If the system of princes is kept unchanged, and the officials are all Mo people, then the Mo family's thinking will not be able to bloom?" ”
In other words, they abandoned their organization and began to follow the right-wing opportunist path of parliamentary struggle.
At the same time, the Mo family and even the giants gave up armed confrontation, and began to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results with the princes and ministers, and even participated in the political struggle between the ministers, turning the public weapon into private righteousness.
By the time the position of the giant son passed to Meng Sheng, Meng Sheng, the giant son, had completely abandoned the righteousness of the Mo family. He died for Yangchengjun and died of Xiaoyi, which is to be criticized. Yangchengjun was involved in the internal struggle of Chu and died because of Wu Qi's strategy to pounce on the king of Chu before his death, which was also an unjust political struggle in which the children of the Mo family participated in by Mozi.
What is even more terrifying is that Meng Sheng passed the position of the giant to Tian Xiangzi, and Tian Xiangzi ordered the two disciples who reported the news in the name of the giant not to die with Meng Sheng, but the two disciples still left to die - the organizational discipline of the Mo family has collapsed since this time, and the style of mountainist warlords has risen, and they cannot be united.
Later, the Mohists were divided into three divisions, and the Mohists were no longer a unified organization, but a scattered generalized alliance of various countries.
The alliance lacked a leader who could inherit and carry forward the vast number of leaders to adapt to the new era, so that the thinking was even more confused.
Mozi supported the just unification wars such as King Wu's defeat of Shang Tang and the destruction of Xia, but after his death, revised social pacifism was very popular among some of the children of the Mo family, who opposed all violence and became Huang Zuo, completely unsuitable for the turbulent times and silent.
The other part quickly became social chauvinists because of the existence of the state, and when the Qin State was actively expanding its armaments and warfare, Qin Mo people strongly supported it and quickly integrated into the bureaucratic system of the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin State needed the Mohist technique, but did not need the Mohist way, and when the reform began, the revised Mohist and Legalist hit it off, formed an alliance, and began to actively expand the armament war, and the Mohist "international" alliance beyond the state officially disintegrated.
The children of the Mo family in other countries also joined the systems of various countries and participated in the world of great contention.
A thoughtful, purposeful, and systematic Mohist eventually died out. The only difference from modern times is that no one shouted the slogan "The second Mo family is dead, long live the third Mo family" when the Qin State was formed when the Franco-Mo Alliance was formed, and when the Mo family supported the Qin State to expand its armaments, and no one practiced "Since the Chu State, which has the most incomplete reform, can rely on hundreds of old nobles to rule such a vast land, why can't the Mo family rely on thousands of disciples to violently seize power and rule, and love Shangtong can be the first to achieve ...... in a few or one country"
It's not all chiseling, it's just that something has been renamed and then re-enacted on the stage of modern times, and it's not new.
Not only this one, these precocious things can be said to contain many thoughts that Chen Jian was familiar with in his previous life.
It's just that they are not mature because of the times, because they were born too early, but it doesn't mean that they won't grow up
After these precocious ideas died out, "everyone does not lose a single bit, everyone is not good for the world, and the world is governed" became "the wind can enter the rain, the king cannot enter", and then these words became foreign products, and people were amazed that the moon was so round abroad, after all, they could only sigh.
At that time, there was an interesting saying that the escape from ink was Yang, and the escape from Yang was Confucianism, and these three were the Xianxue at that time.
This is the philosophy of Taoism, but it profoundly reveals the essence of the time.
Turning his back on the Mohists who had strict organizational discipline, he easily became a disciple of Yang Zhu who was extremely individualistic and anarchic; The disciples of Yang Zhu, who turned their backs on extreme individualism and anarcho-indulgentism, easily became Confucians who demanded strict moral and behavioral norms.
After Confucianism was changed to a strict semi-religious science, the natural evolution of things would inevitably be reversed to the market and the emancipation of the mind at the end of the Ming Dynasty, until this natural evolution was interrupted by external forces.
These three kinds of sculptions fell in love and killed each other in that era, but they were entangled in grievances, but they were seen through by outsiders and laughed silently, because the one who saw through it was philosophy, and it was very good at explaining the nature of the world.
These words are applicable even in Chen Jian's previous life, and the people who oppose a certain idea the most are often people in a certain ideological system.
Since Chen Jian decided to learn from the Franco-Mexican alliance of the Qin State, he naturally had to think about the consequences of unification, and the strict laws and norms would definitely be reversed after his death.
According to reasoning, by that time the state will already exist, the public property will be abundant, the literacy rate will not be low, and the state apparatus will be extremely powerful, so when the time comes, there will be no need to worry about the emergence of anarchism, they will inevitably be overwhelmed by the powerful state apparatus, and there will be no market.
At that time, in contrast to the strict laws and regulations, there will be a rule of inaction, the ruler only needs to be in charge of the big strategic policy, there is no need for such strict laws and regulations, the grassroots policies are generally relaxed, and the people's customs are strict and open -- this kind of management only needs to be firm to the point that the extremes of things must be opposed to the ideological imprisonment before entering the capital era.
In the long run, this form is the best option for the present to pave the way for the future.
In the near term, this form is also the basis for Chen Jian to urgently need to prepare for the expansion of armaments, and it is also more suitable for Xia Cheng's system, and only needs to make some changes.
After the end of this compromise, there will be 20,000 people in the Xia City system, although the number of "people" in some cities is more than this, but most of them are slaves, and they are not people and have no combat effectiveness.
Xia Cheng no longer needs too many changes for the time being, the turmoil can end, everything is restrained and compromised for external expansion, because the population is already enough to support it, so there is no longer a need for Chen Jian to deliberately provoke class disputes.
The two slogans shouted by the Chinese people have given this change a popular basis: arbitrariness and rules.
Therefore, Chen Jian felt that if he took this road, he would not lack anything, and only need to push it lightly, and implement it in the most reasonable way and the method that is least likely to provoke internal contradictions, so that the vast majority of Chinese people can become the beneficiaries of the new system.
After thinking about it for a long time, Jian Chen raised his head and said, "I will give these workshop workers the status of nationals, but don't cheer or object first, and then make your expressions after listening to me." ”
