Jiang Hexing saw that he had made up his mind and didn't say anything more about business, so he asked, "Fan Zhen's family affairs, have you decided?" ”

Fan Jia said proudly: "We have also been looking for a matchmaker in the past two days, I found President Yang Hongyang yesterday and talked to him, he was very happy, and he didn't do business." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Now the person has gone to discuss with that Liu Qing. ”

"Yang Hongren is good, a few years ago he made some money making parchment, but now he makes more parchment, and he also sells the factory. I don't know what I'm busy with every day, as if I'm doing any business. Didn't you see him do anything? Think too much and do too little every day. Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets. He will be as daring as you are, and now he will be richer than a prince. However, I think his popularity is quite good, and many businessmen are very convinced of him. ”

Listening to Jiang Hexing's criticism of Yang Hong, he smiled modestly: "President Yang is very good, and he helped the merchants in Luoyang, Chang'an, where we came last year. My silk last year, in Xianwu, was underwritten by him, and he must have made a lot of money, hehe. ”

Jiang Hexing didn't want to talk more about these rights and wrongs, and said with a smile: "Then let's wait for President Yang to bring us good news." ”

Fan Jia nodded, turned his head to look at Fan Jiao and said, "Then let's wait." It's just that she ......."

Jiang Hexing also turned his head, Fan Jiao's face was flushed, and he sat there crampedly, Jiang Hexing asked, "Is there anything wrong with Fan Jiao?" ”

Fan Jiao hurriedly said: "I'm fine, everything is fine." ”

Fan Jia no longer said anything about Fan Jiao, and talked about some strange things in Luoyang, now in Luoyang, Chang'an, men and women can no longer walk together.

Jiang Hexing was surprised inexplicably, now men and women can't walk together, so will women not even be able to go on the street one day. Fan Jia said that this was implemented last year, first in Chang'an, everyone watched it as a joke, but the scholars and officials were very serious, and slowly Luoyang was like this. He has many daughters, and he doesn't want to be bullied like this in Luoyang Chang'an, which is one of the reasons why he came.

Jiang Hexing knows that ******** things, no matter how ridiculous they are at the beginning, as long as they are accepted by scholars and supported by the imperial court, I am afraid that they will only become more and more male and inferior in the future. When he first came, he found that the status of women was not low at this time, and now he knows that the Confucian ******** has infiltrated the society little by little, until the society is tied up like a big dumpling, and he can no longer move, lifeless, and lifeless.

Jiang Hexing was pleased to be able to leave a pure land here that was not polluted by Confucian ********, and after bidding farewell to Fan Jia, it seemed that he would have to work ********.

For many days, Jiang Hexing didn't talk much, lying on the table, writing and drawing. Later, Han was called and discussed secretly for a long time. Han Hao resigned and disappeared. Li Ming's family moved to the summer capital, and Li Ming was responsible for the construction of its summer capital city, as well as the construction of the port. Zheng Li's sailboat carried people to others, and Zheng Li also went to the summer capital, and took a group of people to be responsible for finding the surrounding coal mines and iron mines. In addition, Zheng San was also asked to pull out the two people who built the rail car and let Zheng Li bring them to the summer capital.

After arranging these, spring ploughing is about to begin. Jiang Hexing handed over all the things to the people below to do, and he still looked around. Jiang Hexing even took a four-wheeled carriage to Yaowu and Changchun, and looked all the way, although there is still a lot of wasteland, but there are more and more people who are cultivating and growing grain. He didn't bother the others either, and he looked back at it.

When he came back, he got an edict from the imperial court, Wang Mang made the crown prince, and he made a fake (acting) emperor, and named himself the Duke of An Han.

Jiang Hexing was uneasy, it seemed that Wang Mang was not going to stop, he had to save the country and save the people. I can't slack off here, and hurriedly wrote a letter to my subordinates, and a month later, that is, after the spring ploughing is completely over, the heads of each city and the generals and brigade commanders above all go to Xianwu for a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

A month later, in the conference room of the office of Xianwu City. Zhang Kai, Zhang Jie, Li Xiaowen, Li Xiaowu, Li Xiaoquan, Wu Kui, Chen Gang, Ma Yuan, Liu Qing, Li Yuan, Zheng Yi, Zheng Li, etc. were all present. Jiang Hexing introduced the situation, and everyone was silent, because like everyone, they all felt that Wang Mang was not bad as an emperor, but they didn't expect Jiang Hexing to be so optimistic.

After being silent for a long time, Wu Kui said tentatively: "He Wang, I think this emperor is not as good as you, as long as you give an order, I dare to guarantee to take Chang'an within a year." ”

Jiang Hexing waved his hand and said: "Don't think nonsense in this regard, I am now responsible for the people of Pingzhou, and I also have to think about the people of the Han Dynasty." Even if it is a long-distance attack, it is to take Chang'an, what is the benefit to the people. At that time, I am afraid that in the land of the Great Han, there will be sword soldiers everywhere. I'm afraid we're all sinners of the people. If we fight them one by one, until others are convinced, I am afraid that in the land of my great Han, at least more than half of the people will die. ”

Jiang Hexing went on to say: "There are five disasters for the people, floods, droughts, locust plagues, and power disasters, and finally there is one of the most deadly disasters. ”

"Liu Qing, who is here, has gone through the power disaster, the Li Zheng brothers have gone through the drought and locust plague, Wu Kui must have also gone through the locust plague, Li Yuan's uncle has also gone through the drought and locust plague, and Ma Yuan's father-in-law has also gone through the power disaster."

Everyone no longer thought about the disaster, and all looked at Ma Yuan, whose face was red and speechless.

Jiang Hexing said with a smile: "After this meeting, everyone should not be in a hurry to leave." Ma Yuan held a wedding in Xianwu, and I will let you go after the wedding. ”

Everyone laughed and congratulated Ma Yuan, and Ma Yuan also politely returned the gift.

After a period of commotion, Jiang Hexing continued: "An Hangong's governance, I am not afraid of anything else, I am afraid that he is too Confucian-scholarly." I have dealt with him, and I can say that he is stupid to read, but he also believes too much in books, and believes that there was a perfect world in ancient times, and modern people can become a perfect world if they follow ancient books. ”

"Who has any opinion of the perfect world, or of the great harmony society that the sages talked about?"

Li Xiaoquan stood up and said: "He Wang, I haven't thought about the perfect world, I have heard the old man say in Datong society before, that is, everyone has food, every family has clothes to wear, every household has surplus food, the world is peaceful, and the road does not pick up and move at night and does not close the household." I think our people in Pingzhou are almost the same now, not only can't eat enough food, but also wear all kinds of clothes, are we a Datong society? ”

Jiang Hexing smiled, Li Xiaowen glared at Li Xiaoquan, Li Xiaoquan immediately sat down and kept silent. Seeing Li Xiaoquan's frightened appearance, everyone held back and didn't dare to laugh.

Jiang Hexing said: "We can only be regarded as a normal society. Hyowen, do you have anything to say? ”

Li Xiaowen said: "The word Datong comes from the Book of Rites, which says: 'The road is also a journey, the world is for the public, the selection of talents and abilities, and the cultivation of faith and harmony. Therefore, people do not have only their relatives, and they do not have only their sons, so that the old have their ends, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, the widows, the widows, the lonely, the lonely, and the disabled are all supported, and the men have a share, and the women have a home. If you abandon the goods on the ground, you don't have to hide them for yourself; The power of evil does not come from the body, and it does not have to be for oneself. It is because of the conspiracy to close but not to prosper, to steal and thieves not to do, so to do not close the outside household, it is said to be the same. This is the source of Datong, but I have never heard of a real Datong society there. However, in our case in Pingzhou, many of us have done it, and some have not done it, such as the world for the public, I think this is a bit difficult. ”

Jiang Hexingdao: "Why is it difficult for the world to be public? The difficulty is that everyone is selfish, how can they not be selfish? Only the dead will have no selfish intentions, so it will never be possible to be public in the world. Have you ever wondered if everyone is selfish, can we build a good society? ”

Jiang Hexing's words were not loud, but they were like clouds and thunder blowing up, and everyone was stunned. If everyone is selfish, then it is not chaotic. He Wang has always been wise, why did he start talking nonsense. Everyone was at a loss, and each bowed their heads in contemplation, silent.

Jiang Hexing continued: "Have you ever observed that a baby will cry from the moment it just falls to the ground. They will cry to eat, cry to express discomfort, cry to express all kinds of things, until they are satisfied, and they will not cry anymore. When the baby grows up, he will know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, know to be afraid when he sees water and fire, know to avoid things he is afraid of, eat when he is hungry, and drink when he is thirsty. When he is older, he will know to take care of his family, be considerate of his family, and do all kinds of things for his family, even when he is old, he is still busy and working everywhere, and even some people are prepared to be buried in the ground after death. What does this mean? Can anyone say? ”

Ma Yuan stood up and said, "Everyone has a selfish heart. ”

Jiang Hexing said: "That's not bad, my opinion should be that people have a self-interested nature, and from birth, they know what to do for their own interests." On the contrary, a person who doesn't even know how to eat when he is hungry, and who doesn't know how to hide when he encounters something he is afraid of, is estimated to have no human beings for a long time. Therefore, in order to survive and continue life, human beings have their basic attributes, which I call self-interest. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Hexing looked at the confused crowd and said: "Self-interest is the basic attribute that guarantees people's survival, continuation and even development. I don't think you understand why I'm talking about this, do you? ”

The crowd nodded.

Jiang Hexing continued: "The reason why I am talking about this is to let everyone have a basic understanding of some things. The state of Datong society imagined by the sages may be built, but it is definitely not for the world to be built for the public. A good society should be established by recognizing the basic attribute of human self-interest, and to build a good society by denying this can only be to build a castle in the air without a foundation. ”

Ma Yuan said: "Does King He mean that An Han Gong uses the world as the public to build this Datong society?" ”

Jiang He nodded and said: "Wang Mang has extremely high ambitions, he may not be greedy for power, but in fact, he is now the greatest power." He thinks more about working for the benefit of everyone and making more people live a good life, which is the most terrible thing about him. ”

Some people are puzzled, and some people are beginning to understand.

Liu Qingdao: "Did King He say that An Hangong's actions for the benefit of the people would harm the people of the world." ”

"yes, that's what it means."

Wu Kui said: "He obviously wants to work for the benefit of the world, how can he become a cruel to the people?" ”

Jiang Hexingdao: "This is called a disaster caused by absolute idealism, and it is a little difficult to explain clearly. There are some people who want to benefit the people of the world, but the result is that the people are miserable. He will also say that I am obviously good for you, but you still don't appreciate it. The idealist even believes in being able to row on the grass, and if the boat doesn't go, he blames the boat for being bad, the rower for being bad, the weather is bad, and so on. The only thing I didn't expect was that the boat would have to go on water. ”

Ma Yuan smiled: "He Wang, I have figured it out a little, but I have a question, did you have any previous experience?" Why are you so sensitive to this? ”

Jiang Hexing laughed, pointed at Ma Yuan, and said: "You, you, tell you, there are people there who believe in something called universal value, which is not a bad thing, but when it comes to the idealists, it has led to disasters one after another, many countries have been in trouble one after another, and countless people have died. Those idiots are still yelling about what they are promoting to make people's lives better. ”

Jiang Hexing continued: "Whether you understand it today or not, you can think slowly in the future, this is not the point, but I want everyone to understand my following action arrangement." ”
