Chapter 103: Battle of the Wolves (5)

"President Zhao, we also want to follow the path drawn by the imperial court, but the imperial court is so busy......"

The simple face was full of uneasiness and even fear, and even the voice became very quiet. Zhao Qian has seen too many such looks these days, and those fearless soldiers on the battlefield naturally showed such a look when facing the imperial court.

"The imperial court will help everyone through various peasant associations." Zhao Qian said confidently. Although he was also playing a small drum in his heart, did the Great Song Dynasty really have such a great power to assist all the people on the state farm? But at this time, Zhao Qian had to make everyone believe this.

By the time this meeting was over, it was already Friday night. After the soldiers' representatives returned to the camp, Zhao Qian returned to his residence exhausted. Habitually open the schedule, you can see that the word 'home' has been written on the weekly holidays. Zhao Qian put down the notebook and fell on the bed. He used to think that he would look forward to going home, but now his exhaustion made Zhao Qian just want to sleep all day.

Accepting Dad's order, as the vice president of the Veterans Counseling Association, it was far more difficult than Zhao Qian imagined to do policy propaganda to the 300,000 elites of the Great Song Dynasty who gathered in Zheng County for the winter. The hardest part is not because you don't know how to farm, but because you know how to farm too well. Therefore, the representatives of the soldiers spoke about the most realistic difficulties.

The soldiers south of the Huai River are concerned about the supply of improved seeds, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and insecticidal pyrethrum pesticides. The soldiers north of the Huai River were concerned about irrigation. The natural environment of these two regions means that they face very different problems. The Great Song Dynasty was a vast country, and it was common for droughts and floods to break out at the same time. In addition to these, the problem of locusts is a matter of concern for both the North and the South.

Zhao Qian's mind was full of various questions, and what finally popped up was the weather of Xiaoice River. Xiaoice weather is a problem pointed out by dad Zhao Jiaren, and the cold winter makes crops sow very late. However, the heavy snow in winter does not provide enough water to nourish the northern lands. The cold climate has caused many lands to become arid and breeding for locust plagues. After a locust plague, large areas of farmland were eaten away.

Most of the soldiers in the army from rural areas did not go to school, but they were not unfamiliar with the knowledge taught in school. They have all seen the overwhelming devastation of locusts destroying their farmland and homes. Warriors from rural areas did not know that bacteria and viruses that were deadly to humans had no effect on locusts, but they knew that locust plagues would not only destroy farmland, but also bring plague. Therefore, many of the plague gods enshrined in the village temple are in the shape of locusts.

Zhao Qian had long known that there was no plague god, but what difference did it make if he didn't know it? If we want to solve this problem, we must establish a more effective monitoring system in the vast land of the Great Song Dynasty, and carry out early prevention and various measures to extinguish locust plagues. To complete such a project, it is necessary to invest a lot of manpower and material resources. The amount of money needed can be calculated in the tens of millions.

Covering the quilt, Zhao Qian felt warm on his body. Thinking about it, Zhao Qian fell asleep. When he suddenly woke up from his dream, he saw that it was pitch black all around him. With sore eyelids, he barely raised his body, and Zhao Qian saw that the luminous watch hand on the table indicated that it was already three o'clock in the evening. Zhao Qian lay back on the bed, and before he fell asleep again, he decided not to go home on the weekend.

The military horn sounded, and Zhao Qian got up. When he was about to get dressed, he remembered that he was no longer an active soldier, or he wanted to do it, and he didn't have the team he belonged to. If you force yourself out, you will be investigated by the security patrol officers. With a wry smile and took off his shoes, Zhao Qian lay back on the bed. This time he couldn't sleep again.

Is this the life of an official? During the day, I have to read documents, do all kinds of work, and at night I have to write. At least that's the trajectory of his father, Zhao Jiaren's life. Is this the so-called royal life of fine clothes and food? Or maybe the warriors didn't know what to joke or really said, the royal family was all scaly dragons, chopping firewood with golden axes, and sitting on jade beds in winter and eating roasted taro.

Han Fei said that when Yao ruled the world, he lived in an unrepaired thatched house, and even the oak rafters were never planed; He ate coarse grains and drank wild vegetable soup; In winter, he wears a fawn skin, and in summer he wears a sackcloth coat. Even the life of a janitor is no worse than this.

When Yu ruled the world, he personally led the people to work with a shovel and hoe, and his thighs were so tired that his thighs were emaciated, and the hairs on his calves were worn out, even the labor of the slaves was not worse than this. In this way, in ancient times, giving up the position of the Son of Heaven to others was just an escape from the slave-like offerings of the gatekeepers and the heavy labor of slaves. Therefore, it is not worthy of praise to pass on the world to others. Today's county magistrate, once he dies, his children and grandchildren will always have high carts and horses for generations, so people value it very much.

Therefore, people can easily resign the ancient Son of Heaven for the matter of abdicating the throne, but it is difficult to give up today's county officials; The reason for this is that the magnitude of the actual benefits is very different. People who live in the mountains and want to go to the bottom of the valley to fetch water give each other as gifts during the New Year's holidays; People who live in depressions and suffer from flooding have to hire people to dig ditches to drain the water. So when he was in a barren year, he refused to take care of his food even when his younger brother came; During the harvest season in good years, even estranged passers-by are always entertained to eat and drink. It is not that he deliberately alienates himself from his own flesh and blood in favor of passing guests, but because the actual situation of how much food is stored is different.

The ancients despised wealth, not because of benevolence and righteousness, but because of wealth; People today are fighting with each other, not because of meanness, but because of lack of wealth. The ancients easily resigned from the position of the Son of Heaven, not because of a noble style, but because of a small power; Today's people compete for official positions or rely on power, not because they are of low moral character, but because of great power. Therefore, the saint should make a policy based on the actual situation of the amount of wealth and power. A light punishment is not mercy, and a heavy punishment is not cruelty, but an action that is appropriate to the social situation. Therefore, political affairs should be changed according to the times, and measures should be aimed at social affairs.

When reading Han Fei's article before, Zhao Qian only felt that it was very reasonable, but it was only very reasonable. When Zhao Qian was about to take on the responsibility of becoming the crown prince, he found that everything described by Han Fei was so cold and realistic. I know this, and I am mentally prepared, but I am still almost breathless by the heavy pressure of reality.

How did Dad accomplish his real-life deeds back then? Zhao Qian was extremely curious now. He had never heard his father complain, as if all he had done was move a few feathers lightly. However, Zhao Qian has experienced it firsthand now, so he knows that every job is difficult to climb to the sky. Not to mention successfully completing that kind of work, just doing it is already a bit exhausting.

After thinking about it for a while, there was already the sound of the slogans of the soldiers running and exercising outside. Hearing this voice, Zhao Qian could probably tell that there were at least two thousand troops running around the playground near him. The loud voice and the vibration brought by the neat steps made Zhao Qian inexplicably feel a little relieved.

Then he sat up abruptly. If it were his father, he would definitely not be able to accomplish such a feat. However, behind Daddy were tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. With these people, the Yellow River could be diverted, and the enemy perished for it. Zhao Qian suddenly felt very funny, he had been one of them, but he had never felt such power. Yes, his military service and other work only brought Zhao Qian all kinds of pain, but apart from Zhao Qian's personal feelings, he was not a member of this world-changing force. It's this power that Daddy harnesses.

Six days later, a report was delivered to Mr. Zhao. Looking at Zhao Qian's name under the report, Zhao Jiaren wanted to open it, but stopped. After hesitating for a while, Zhao Jiaren also felt a little strange. If it is someone else's report, Zhao Jiaren can easily look through it. Regarding his son's report, Zhao Jiaren didn't have the courage to read it at all. This is a very unusual reaction.

However, Zhao Jiaren hated this hesitation, he picked up the report and went to his wife, and handed the report to his wife. Qin Yuzhen looked at the cover of the report in confusion, and then looked at her husband. She has seen a lot of twists and turns over the years, but this is the first time that Zhao Jiaren has taken the initiative to report to her except for the Military Family Committee.

"I was a little afraid to read the report written by Da Lang. You take a look at it first, and then give me a rating. Zhao Jiaren put down his words and turned around to leave. Then I heard Qin Yuzhen say, "San Lang, I'll go to your study to see." ”

The husband and wife walked through the corridor hand in hand, but Zhao Jiaren stopped at the door of the study. Without waiting for him to speak, he heard Qin Yuzhen say gently: "You are afraid that Da Lang will not be angry." I know. ”

Zhao Jiaren sighed. His wife is right, Zhao Jiaren has experienced many failures and setbacks in his life, and many people he likes have either unfortunately died in battle or revealed their true colors. Although Zhao Jiaren tried not to say anything in front of others, he dared to show his pain when no one saw it. Zhao Qian is the son of Zhao Jiaren and the successor of this empire. If Zhao Qian hadn't been able to show the ability to take on the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiaren would really not be able to stand it.

If it's a republic, that's good. Zhao Jiaren even had such an idea of escaping. Under the republican system, Zhao Qian does not have such pressure at all, he only needs to have his own job, and even have the opportunity to discover his talent and engage in the work he likes. From a psychological point of view, it is easy for a person to make achievements when he finds a job he likes. Ten, twenty, thirty years have passed in a flash. It is even possible that when you are dying, you will feel exactly the same mood as you did on the first day of this work.

What happiness and comfort it was.

Happiness in the eyes of 21 psychiatrists is a luxury for the imperial family. Choice is a real luxury for these children. Whether they like it or not, they have to assume the position of emperor. Many people will compete for the throne, but they are completely unaware that their so-called 'self-motivation' is actually a gene inherited from the ancestors of fish. In the 21st century, an American professor has studied the mechanism of this motivation and chemical secretions similar to those of lobsters. This kind of thing can make people establish their own 'rank',

What can you do if you know this? Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his wife's cheek, maybe it was a good diet and enough exercise. Or maybe it's because Qin Yuzhen has a dignified round face instead of an awl face, and the skeleton of her face is relatively large. Or Qin Yuzhen likes to use pearl powder mixed with milk to make a mask over the years, in short, the tentacles are smooth and delicate. The skin of the 55-year-old Da Song woman at this time is very different.

Qin Yuzhen pulled down Zhao Jiaren's hand, grasped Zhao Jiaren's hand with her soft and delicate hand, and said warmly: "San Lang, don't be afraid, since you believe in Da Lang so much, he will not let you down." ”

In front of others, Qin Yuzhen would call Zhao Jiaren 'official' by an official name. When the two got along, Qin Yuzhen was unhappy, Zhao Jiaren was the 'official family'. Most of the time, Zhao Jiaren is still her 'San Lang'. Seeing her husband so worried, Qin Yuzhen felt that her heart had melted a little. She likes the way her husband cares about his family, and this is the life she is looking forward to.

Zhao Jiaren also understands his wife's feelings. In the past, when his wife was in a good mood, Zhao Jiaren would also try to tell his wife some knowledge. But it repeatedly spoils the mood. In the end, Zhao Jiaren found a way, and only after he asked, 'Do you decide to die, but also understand what happened', and get clear consent, he will tell his wife about the knowledge points.

This is also the most difficult place for Zhao Jiaren now. It is to let people know that their behavior is only inherited through genetic inheritance of the ancestors of various bacteria, algae, fish, amphibians, and mammals over a billion years of evolution. Even if they know, they won't think about it, and even if they do, they may not do it.

Only when they need it themselves, they will search their stomachs and try to use the relevant knowledge in their memory bank, and by that time, it has probably reached the point of burning their eyebrows. Humans are driven by ** in this way, but after the elimination of such **, humans are no longer human.

After such reflection, Zhao Jiaren felt that he had regained his courage.
