But our classmate Niu Hong is in this sinister political whirlpool, standing tall and proud.

What's the trick?

It depends on not getting involved in any struggle, not caring about anything, and not offending anyone.

In fact, this is also a kind of officialdom cultivation.

Everyone may wish to learn it too, it is very useful.

Live like a pig and don't play with them.

It was the way to survive in that particular era.

Everyone has a piece of sky on their head, and they can dye it in a variety of colors according to their preferences.

Relying on diligence, hard work, and talent, this Niu Daren is really well-read, especially for the Confucian classics, which are the absolute authority of the empire.

The other He Chou, who is also a bull.

He Chou's ancestral home was Central Asian, and he later moved to Pixian County, Sichuan Province to escape the war.

This place in Central Asia originally produced skilled craftsmen, and there is nothing to say about the handicrafts produced in that place.

His uncle is He Tuo, the son of the country (equivalent to the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences).

This He Chouda is extremely smart when he is young, and his hands-on ability is very strong.

The workmanship is particularly delicate.

Specialized in making clothes and utensils for the royal family, and later went to work for the palace in the special Taifu Bureau.

He successively served as the Shaoqing of Taifu and the Secretary of Taifu.

This He Chou has a very strong hands-on ability, which can turn beautiful drawings into reality.

Let's take an example.

It is said that once the Persian State (now Iran) sent the emperor a golden cotton brocade robe (I haven't seen it, I can't tell what it looks like, anyway, it's a fantasy), which is particularly gorgeous and exquisite.

Emperor Wen liked it very much after seeing it, so he ordered Taifu Qing He Chou to imitate one.

He Chou took it back and sent the imitation back a few days later.

Yang Jian was amazed at first glance, because He Chou's imitation of the gorgeous and exquisite Cheng dù surpassed the original sent by the Persians.

And that's not all.

There is another thing that is even more powerful, when Yang Guang went to the Liao River for the first time in the eighth year of Daye, he went to the Liao River and was dumbfounded.

The army can't cross, there is no bridge.

Let the cow man Yu Wenkai build the bridge, Yu Wenkai didn't know if his head was in the water or in poor condition this time, and the army of bridges he built couldn't pass, and the difference was "more than zhang"

。

For this reason, the general Mai Tiecane also gave his life by the Liao River.

Yang Guang ordered He Chou to build a bridge instead of Yu Wenkai, and this Lord He really did not disappoint the emperor, and it took only two days to cause it, and the army was able to cross Liao.

What's more, under the city of Liaodong, this Lord He built the emperor's palace and the ** city with a height of ten thousand overnight.

This level of construction like the help of the gods was a great shock to the Koreans.

This kind of person who can always bring surprises and face to the leader, of course, the emperor likes it.

Now there is Niu Hong, who understands Confucian classic theories and picture materials, and He Chou, who has superb manual craftsmanship, such a perfect combination of theory and practice, plus the empire's abundant financial, material and human resources.

The emperor gave an order.

These two guys are going to play with their lives.

The emperor's dress, the empress, the prince, the concubine, the minister's bow and ceremonial dress, as well as the flag of the honor guard and the clothing of the guard.

How many sets did you make?

There are no statistics in the history books.

But this banner alone has done 36,000 battles.

In addition to the amazing quantity, the quality is even more refined.

The skins (official hats) of the hundred officials alone are made of white deer skin, and the white deer can make sacrifices for the imperial image project.

It is impossible to count how many white deer were culled, but in short, the number must be amazing.

Costume zuò also requires bird feathers.

It was not easy, the emperor issued an edict to mobilize the whole people, and let the local governors launch a people's war to kill these rare birds and beasts.

This guy, these animals are suffering.

But fortunately, at that time, there was no law on the protection of animal rights, and there was no such thing as protecting the ecological environment.

But the suffering of animals is one thing, and the common people are also unlucky.

He Chou alone will definitely not be able to do such a big project, so a large number of craftsmen will be found to cooperate with He Chou.

It is recorded in the history books that "more than 100,000 workers were served, and hundreds of millions of dollars were used in gold and silver." ”

In a word, being an emperor is cool!

Replaced by He Chou and Niu Hong's new trip to this royal tourism group, Yang Guang suddenly felt more majestic, it seems that the old saying is good.

"People rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold."

In Yangzhou, a flowery, gentle and wealthy township, I Yang Guang no longer have the feeling of a countryman.

Dressed in beautiful and fashionable costumes with pop elements, riding a tall horse, and a group of honor guards and escorts in front and behind.

Seeing this group of Southern Dynasty people in Yangzhou, they were dumbfounded.

From the eyes of these literati, doctors and ordinary people of the Southern Dynasties, Yang Guang saw their respect, envy and admiration for the imperial power.

That's what you want.

"The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March"

。

Yangzhou, where Yang Guang arrived, happened to be spring, and it was the most beautiful season of the year in Yangzhou.

With his entourage and civil and military officials, the honor guard of the brigade and the majestic guards, visit the famous 24 bridges, and watch "the world is divided into three bright moonlit nights, and two scoundrels are Yangzhou"

Taste the most exquisite food in Huaiyang, and enjoy the strong local characteristics of the south of the Yangtze River and colorful song and dance performances.

"Every time the emperor travels, Yuyi fills the street and overflows, more than 20 miles."

Yang Guang is very expressive and very good at showmanship.

This catwalk in Yangzhou gave him great psychological satisfaction.

He enjoyed the feeling, the feeling of domination.

History and reality are interconnected.

What happened yesterday is still happening today, **, killing, digging pits, burying people, framing and spreading rumors, not stopping for a day.

At the beginning, when they encounter difficulties, they will choose to resist or vent, and when these two paths fail, ordinary people will become numb or non-violent and non-cooperative.

It's a terrible thing.

If everyone in society is like this, then there must be something wrong with our culture, and what is the future?

So I understand Mr. Sima Guang very well, no matter how much this brother applauds the historical cattle in private, he still criticizes and writes in "Tongjian", carries the banner of morality and waves the killing rod to kill the sea.

But these preaching and moral judgment alone are obviously not enough, and now people are not three-year-old children, let alone in that closed and backward Middle Ages, and now in addition to the scepter of morality, the law is constantly improving.

I feel that society should not be too demanding of literati, and literati do not have to bear so much pressure, the decline of morality and the credit crisis are the problems of the entire social system, and culture is of course to blame, but do not exaggerate the power of morality and culture, especially nowadays.

The power of cultural people is really limited, and it will not change much in the past, present, and future.

Let's take an example.

My work tells the story of a person, Comrade Liu Xuan, a great Confucian at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

This guy is very good, he is old and educated, you must not believe me if I am talking to you here, I will carry a weight with you.

Mr. Liang Qichao said that this Liu Xuan belonged to one of the two best Confucians of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the other was his classmate Liu Xuan.

It's smart when you're young.,Divine horse, memory, divine horse, dual-purpose, and other things that belong to the characteristics of a prodigy.,This guy has it all.。

But such a powerful character has no status in society, first of all, the stomach problem cannot be solved, as now, the income of intellectuals is generally thin, and it is not enough to rely on writing and teaching to drink the northwest wind.

There's no way this dude can use his brains.

In the third year of the emperor's reign, in the face of the practical dilemma of the country's frequent wars and the great shortage of books, Comrade Niu Hong, the chairman and general manager of the Authentic Niu Ren Rite Department, built the "book dedication movement" with innovative thinking and mobilized the masses to carry out the "book donation movement"

。

The specific policy is: people donate a book, and a silk horse is awarded.

And the ownership of the donated books is still yours, and the state will copy the books donated by the big guys, and then return them to you after copying, so that everyone can take what they need, which is a good idea.

I don't have the money to open the way (one of the top ten hard injuries of officialdom), and I have no money to buy books (it's difficult to make a living), so I don't even mention donating books.

However, as the saying goes, "there is a sky on the head of a person", and everyone has their own way of living. Liu Xuan's brain finally came alive. Liu gave full play to his hard work, so he compiled a book by himself and pretended to be an ancient book and then dedicated it to the officials in charge, which increased income, and also enriched the national library's book storage, which is a win-win situation, how good! I haven't heard of these two books. Of course, Liu Xuan's glorious deeds do not allow you to listen to and read this book, and the names are: "Lianshan Yi" and "Lu Shiji". The two books have improved Comrade Liu Xuan's life a lot. There is no impermeable wall, and the silk of the award has not had time to pull a red head rope for his wife, and Liu Xuan was quickly denounced and won. The crime is not small, but what the big guy read at that time was the words of a saint, so who dares to pretend to be a saint? Don't want to mix it up? was originally going to be destroyed, but thanks to someone who spared his talents, this classmate Liu finally saved his life. That's much simpler, go home and farm as a private teacher to barely make ends meet, and life is even more difficult. Later, I couldn't get aggrieved, so I found someone who wanted to be an official. This was summoned by the crown prince Yang Yong to the capital division, and the assigned job was to ask him to serve Yang Xiu, the king of Shu. The profession is even more inappropriate, this Liu Xuan is procrastinating and unwilling to obey his fate, which makes Yang Xiu unhappy, and this master will send someone to "send it to Yizhou". A scholar, wearing a shackle and a lock, traveling thousands of miles, the miserable state can be imagined! When he arrived in Chengdu (Yizhou), the king of Shu arranged for him to "hold a battle as a doorman" in the tent and become a security guard, what an embarrassing errand? Later, because this buddy was really talented, the court needed these clerks who wrote and copied, and besides, this buddy was also unemployed for too long, and his life was really embarrassing, so he entered the civil service (probably not included in the compilation), and he just made a living. In the end, in the war, poverty, poverty, poverty, and poverty, he returned to the west in his later years. People can respect and even worship a politician who is full of lies and pretenses, and even kills people without shedding blood, but they cannot tolerate an intellectual who compiles books to make ends meet. That's the weirdness of society! Hungry, what Sven morality, what benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, gentleness, courtesy, frugality, all tmd is! Book of Sui. The Biography of Confucianism records how vulgar the Confucianism was in character at that time. The income is low and the status is low, and only the powerful can make a living, so the hypocrites who wag their tails and beg for mercy are popular. Of course, this example is not to say that there are any opinions and complaints about society, but it just feels that the reality is the way it is. Confucius was no exception, he was like a lost dog in his lifetime, and after his death, he was re-faced, groomed, and dressed up and set up as a moral model and educational prop, the purpose of which was to stabilize his own political power and rule the order. The condition of cultural people has been like this since ancient times! Am I too pessimistic, little brother? Haha~ But it's always right to recognize reality, it's better than preaching with a straight face and blindly detached from reality. Is it appropriate for the elite officials, politicians, corrupt and even common people who have all kinds of resources in their hands, but to put the huge brains that should be within their scope of responsibility on the shoulders of intellectuals and scholars who are so hungry that their stomachs are panicking together? Strive to show people with authenticity and convey positive energy, and never become a mainstream propaganda tool! I guess that's what readers need. Song Meiling chose Jiang Guangtou without being wrong. In terms of strength and weakness, Lao Jiang is completely qualified. Speaking of the ghosts that Miss Song was looking for earlier, that Comrade Jiang was a rising star in China at that time, and later became the lord of China and the nominal king of a country. Their entire family can be protected and further developed under the old Jiang Jin's bell cover. Who said that politics and marriage are not secure? Who says that fame and fortune don't last long? We often see a lot of vigorous and touching love stories, which are often fragile in the face of time and reality. The marriage of Jiang and Song Dynasty should be economic, the family should have a family, the hometown should be local, and the language and customs should be eaten, and the only thing that seems to be lacking in such a marriage is affection. However, practice has proved that feelings can be completely satisfied through material things and fermented and grown through guò time. The relationship between Jiang and Song has lasted for a long time, and so has it in his later years, and the older he has become, the more fragrant he has become over time! If it weren't for Lao Jiang's car accident, their old age might have been happier, and Lao Jiang could have continued to live a long life. I advise all younger brothers and sisters to get married or start from reality, the so-called feelings are completely floating clouds, after washing all the lead, in fact, it is not too much different from anyone, but if there is no basis for reality, the so-called feelings are not wrong! Miss Song, a celebrity who grew up studying and growing up in the United States, was most unaccustomed to Jiang Guangtou's ** temperament and feudal thinking at the beginning, and she had no foundation for communication at all, and the so-called emotional hair was not touched. The result? Of course, even if Jiang lost to Mao, Song couldn't accept Mao's anyway, and they didn't have the slightest intersection at all. Therefore, whether in the past or in reality, the marriage between Jiang and Song was a happy and successful for them. Of course, it is also of great reference significance for us today.
