Chapter 127: The Four Dimensions of Qi

And this black hood seems to be able to isolate the sound of the outside world.

This was expected by Chen Sheng, Taisun's whereabouts were secretive, and it was normal to take such precautions.

He sat in the car, unmoving, and the silence around him suddenly calmed his heart.

For the conversation with the grandson, he already had a plan in his heart.

The car turned in direction from time to time, and Chen Sheng felt it from the rotation on the body, and counted silently in his heart.

Turning seventy-four times, stopping fourteen times, the car finally came to a complete stop.

The hood was removed, and Chen Sheng saw the outside world again and heard voices.

He was already in a palace at this time.

"Come with me."

Tian Zhi guided Chen Sheng forward.

"You have studied Confucian classics, do you understand etiquette?"

Chen Sheng thought for a moment and replied: "I understand." ”

This was followed by several rounds of searching, after which Chen Sheng was taken to a large hall by the chamberlain, while Tian Zhi was taken to another place.

Chen Sheng waited for his grandson's reception on top of the empty hall.

An hour passed.

Chen Sheng was motionless, and no one spoke to him at this hour.

Two hours passed.

Still motionless, the whole person seems to have turned into a stone sculpture.

The sun is gradually turning westward.

Chen Sheng still didn't move.

It's not that he doesn't want to move, it's that he can't.

There were several auras outside the main hall who were watching him, and each of them had a strength that surpassed him, at least a master of the innate fivefold.

And among these people, there is a strength far beyond Chen Sheng, and the feeling of thorns in his back makes Chen Sheng have to resist these gazes with all his might.

These men barely hid their gaze.

If Chen Sheng didn't have martial arts cultivation, maybe there would be no pressure, it was precisely because of the martial arts cultivation of the Innate Realm that he understood the strict guards of this palace.

Chen Sheng didn't care about them, his mind was immersed in his own plan.

"Taisun has arrived."

With a shout from the waiter, Chen Sheng immediately got up.

A figure stepped out of the palace curtain.

Chen Sheng glanced up and immediately saluted.

"Minister, Chen Sheng pays a visit to the grandson."

Chen Sheng thought about it, and still greeted him as a courtier.

"No courtesy, look up and let Gu see."

A gentle male voice rang in his ears.

"No."

Chen Sheng looked up.

In front of him was a young man in his twenties, dressed in reckless clothes, with a somewhat peaceful face, like a gentle gentleman who walked out of the Book of Poetry, but there was a glint in the corner of his eye.

Chen Sheng looked at it for a while, and then withdrew his gaze.

"You are Chen Sheng, but you also have a bit of courage and dare to face the stocks."

The young man exclaimed: "Lone is the grandson Tian Che, do you want to see Lone?" Lonely is coming! Lone heard that you want to take refuge in Lone, let's talk about it, if you can convince Lone, Lone will bear what you want for you. ”

Chen Sheng looked up and said, "The minister wants to ask Taisun Sheng if there are arrogant words in his words, can he forgive me for my innocence." ”

Tian Che laughed: "Don't worry, after King Wei set up the slander wood in my Qi country, except for King Wuqing, there are no courtiers who have been convicted for their words, I am the grandson of Great Qi, and this bit of strength is still there." ”

Chen Sheng arched his hand slightly and said: "Taisun, the minister still has a question, whether Taisun wants to listen to the words of governing the world or listen to the words of self-cultivation." ”

Tian Che sighed slightly: "You are a little rebellious, but you dare to talk about governing the world and cultivating yourself as a student, but I want to hear what you have to say about governing the world?" ”

Chen Shengdao: "The words of governing the world are to talk about the road of the world and stabilize the country." ”

"Lone originally thought that you were going to show your own value, but I didn't expect you to find another way and start from a new place."

Tian Che laughed.

"Just talk about your words for governing the world, and listen to what you have to say."

Chen Sheng saluted and said: "Taisun, the minister said, whether it is good or not, please take care of it." ”

Tian Che said: "You say, there is no need to emphasize repeatedly, there is no one in Daqi who has been convicted for his words, you will not be the first, and Lone will not be the first." ”

Chen Sheng tidied up his clothes: "Taisun, Daqi is already the time to die." ”

"I thought you would have something shocking, but I didn't expect it to be a rehash of the same old tune, but it disappointed Lone, but you did make Lone a little interested, although there are many famous ministers and Lone have said, but among the clansmen, you are still the first."

Tian Che didn't have any waves, and he didn't have much surprise in the face of Chen Sheng's words.

"Since you said that Daqi is going to die, let's talk about the reason for Daqi's demise, I want to hear it."

Chen Sheng was silent for a while, and Taisun's reaction was beyond his expectations.

"That's what the minister said."

Tian Che Zhengse said: "Please give me advice." ”

"The state has four dimensions, one dimension is absolutely inquisitive, two dimensions is dangerous, three dimensions are overthrown, and four dimensions are extinguished, this is what Guan Zi said Taisun has ever heard?"

Tian Che said: "Of course this lonely person knows, "The words of the Guan Zi herdsmen are about courtesy, righteousness and shame. ”

"Yes, that's true, but the four dimensions here are different."

Chen Sheng said: "These four dimensions may be completely different from what Taisun thinks. ”

Tian Che's face straightened again: "Please speak clearly." ”

Chen Sheng bowed again.

"Heaven, earth, man, and god all have four dimensions."

"The four dimensions of human beings, courtesy, righteousness and shame."

"The four dimensions of the country are different from the four dimensions of people."

Tian Che smiled: "What's the different method?" ”

"Since the five emperors and three kings, there have been three thousand years of family and country, and the history of Shang is incomplete, so the minister will not speak in vain, just take Zong Zhou and Daqi as examples, and explain the four dimensions for the grandson, and ask the grandson to listen to me slowly."

"The four dimensions of Zhou, one is called Jingtian, the second is patriarchal, the third is divided, and the fourth is Lile."

Chen Sheng said the Zong Siwei in his heart in one sentence.

"Zong Zhou established the country, with the Jingtian to calm the people of the world, with the patriarchal law to secure the royal family's noble stomach, to divide the nobles of the world, and to collect the hearts of the people of the world with the system of etiquette and music, this four-dimensional person is the cornerstone of the Zong Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years. Hundreds of years later, King Ping moved eastward, and after hundreds of years of development, the wealth of the world was not much stronger than hundreds of years ago, and the four-dimensional transformation, Zong Zhou gradually died out. ”

Tian Che sat upright, he listened to Chen Sheng's words, savored the four-dimensional straight talk, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Sir's four dimensions this week, Lone agrees, this is true."

"Siwei Gu understands a little bit, that is, the four pillars of the country's construction, I didn't expect you to talk about the country with Lonely, there were still some Meng Lang before, please Mr. Haihan." Tian Che's attitude is sincere and magnanimous.

"Since the four dimensions of Zhou, Mr. said, why don't you talk about the four dimensions of Qi with Lone? Lone also wants to know what the four dimensions of Qi in Mr. 's mouth are? ”

Chen Sheng saw that Tian Che accepted the four-dimensional statement, and immediately let go of half of his heart, this four-dimensional statement was all his private goods.

Many of the truths in the Sushu and the Three Strategies are common to the family and the country, Chen Sheng has experienced a lot of things these days, and gradually has his own ideas, and this four-dimensional theory is his first thought.

At this time, the four-dimensional theory has not yet matured, it is only a prototype, but he is still young, and if he really wants to put forward a mature theory, it is a bit shocking.

"Taisun, the four dimensions of the ministers, although they already have ideas, but after all, they are just personal words, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me."

Tian Che said with a smile: "A doctrine has to go through the test of many times, if there are shortcomings in Mr.'s four-dimensional theory, it is inevitable, Mr. is only eighteen this year, and there must be room for improvement in the future. ”

"The minister will speak in vain."

"The four dimensions of Qi are said to be private land."

"When the Holy Emperor was in Jimo, although he even collected seventy-two cities in Jidong, his reputation was shocked, but when he looked at the mountains and rivers of Daqi, he was full of devastation, and when Jimo counterattacked, he barely managed to make up 5,000 soldiers, and then looked at the large land of Jixi, even the cities of the five capitals had a few fallen to other countries, and even the Qin State was so far away to rob me of Taoyi as the fief of Wei Ran, the marquis, which was simply too deceitful."

"But at that time, the national strength was very weak, all the Sishang areas in Jixi fell, and I only had the city of Jiaodong in Daqi, and the people were only one million, and at that time, the first thing the Holy Emperor reformed was the land system."

Chen Sheng said slowly, and Tian Che kept nodding.

"However, after the war of the Five Kingdoms, the people's livelihood in the country withered, and the Holy Emperor lost his will to take revenge, so he naturally wanted to develop national strength and military strength. In Qin, it was an agricultural war, and Qin was the first powerful country in the world at that time, although the agricultural war had all kinds of drawbacks, but it was the strongest change for the country. ”

"However, it is a little difficult for the peasant war to completely and completely move into the system of Great Qi, and the basis of Qi and Qin's reform is completely different."

"Before Qin Wei changed the law, the country was poor, and my Daqi was different, my Daqi has gone through hundreds of years of cultivation, although the five countries have been defeated, but the country is still rich."

"And my Daqi land is rich, the high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade fields are every three years, and the people in the country are living in abundance, and there are not too many difficulties, which also shows that my Daqi skilled fighters have no fighting spirit."

"There are many strong armies in the world, Qin Zhirui, Wei Zhiwu, and Qi Zhiji are all strong armies."

"In terms of equipment, Qin Zhirui is the worst."

"The Chu people use fish skin and rhinoceros horn as armor, which is as strong as gold and stone, and there are spears made of iron like earth, which move like the wind and fight bravely."

"The Korean soldiers are wearing strong armor, stepping on crossbows, and hanging sharp swords, and they are one for hundred."

"Wei Wushu wears triple armor, wears a helmet, carries three days' worth of food, and can travel a hundred miles in half a day."

"These are all well-known strong armies in the world, but at that time, as soon as they met the soldiers of the Qin State, they couldn't do it, but the Qin people were not wearing armor and were barefoot."

"The way of conquest, the courage also."

"And what gives courage?"

"Land and Wealth."

Tian Che was intrigued by Chen Sheng's words, and he continued Chen Sheng's words, explaining the reasons why the Qi State had to carry out land reform at that time.

"What Taisun said is that although land is the most basic thing, it is related to the foundation of the four dimensions of the country, so land is the first dimension of the four dimensions."

"So at that time, the Holy Emperor reformed the land, canceled the original distribution system, absorbed the system of Qin at that time, and rewarded the fields to the meritorious soldiers with the land grant system, and at the same time raised the high price of grain in the country, and the wealth caused the madness of the people in the country at that time, although the early Holy Emperor also faced a lot of pressure, but three years later, the Qi State had 100,000 soldiers, sufficient food, and barely recovered."

Chen Sheng concluded.

"Well, this Qi is four dimensions, the first dimension is recognized, please continue, sir."

Tian Che nodded in confirmation.

"The second dimension of Qi is called the county."

Chen Sheng groaned and spoke.

Tian Che frowned: "County? Please also sir, please make it clear. ”

Chen Shengdao: "I believe that the benefits of counties and counties must be clear to Taisun, during the Warring States Period, the six countries successively adopted the county system, Chu was the first, Qin was the most thorough, and Qi has always been the five-capital system, and it has not been in line with the six countries. ”

"The second step of the Holy Emperor's reform is the reform of the five-capital system."

"But the country of Qi is on the verge of extinction, and the nobles have consumed a lot in the five kingdoms of Qi, without the pressure of the nobles, the people also want the country to be rich and strong, and then meet a promising monarch like the Holy Emperor, and the reform has easily succeeded."

"Originally, Daqi was a five-capital city system, but after the reform, the five capitals combined with the county system, which not only maintained the centuries-old tradition of Qi, but also combined with the general trend of the world."

"The second dimension of this Qi."

Tian Che nodded.

The county system is much better than the feudal system, and the Meng Weijun of Qi is relying on Xue Di, and the two generations of Meng Weijun are in power, which is the fundamental reason for the decline of the Qi State.

The current system, although there are liehous, but they are only food estates, that is, they are managed by the state, and the income is distributed by the state in a unified manner, which not only reduces the trouble caused by the interweaving of powers, but also reduces the situation of various forces.

As the grandson of a country, Tian Che is naturally clear.

"What is the third dimension?"

Tian Che asked directly.

"The third dimension is centralization."

Chen Sheng replied.

"Centralization."

Tian Che savored these two words and understood a little.

"Yes, it is the centralization of power, the power of the official system before the Qi State was too scattered, but after the reform of the Holy Emperor, the system of three dukes, five officials, and six secretaries has perfectly changed this problem, and the power of the central government has been strengthened."

"This is also because of the changes brought about by the county system, if there is no cooperation with the county system, a simple reform of the system will cause great turmoil."

"The central government's three dukes, five officials, six secretaries, and local county system are the true meaning of centralization."

"Specifically, the Holy Emperor and the Three Dukes, the Five Officials, and the Six Secretaries form the imperial court. Prime Minister, Taiwei, Imperial Doctor, these three princes regulate yin and yang. The manager, Daejeon, the general, the big bank, the big admonition, these five senses are in charge of many affairs. Lang Zhong, Taifu, Neifu, Weiwei, Zongzheng, Lieutenant and other six Qing are the minions of the Holy Emperor. Localities are in charge of the gradual decentralization of power through a five-level system, including five capitals, prefectures, counties, and counties. ”

"I heard that the Holy Emperor has thought that the fifth level is too high in recent years, and he has already thought of abolishing the five capitals and states to solve the problem of too many officials."

"But there are pros and cons to this. The purpose of the retrenchment is to prevent the local tail from falling out, but there is also a disadvantage after the retrenchment that the dragons have no leader. ”

"In short, it still depends on the Holy Emperor's considerations." Chen Sheng said with a smile.

"Sir's words, Lone somewhat understood. Looking at the reform of my grandfather back then, I also understand a little, when the country was in trouble, the people were struggling to make a living, my grandfather started to reform from the land, by changing the land, increasing the morale of the army, and then reforming the counties through the army, and then strengthening the centralization of power through the counties. ”

"Just sir, what are these four dimensions? Lone felt that here, the country had become stronger, and his grandfather's power had also increased, which was already a sign of a strong country, so there was a sign of the great prosperity of the Qi country later. ”

"The four dimensions of the country have been obtained, and the country is thriving, do you still need these four dimensions?"

Tian Che frowned, he had already understood the meaning of Chen Sheng's thinking, and by analyzing the order of the Holy Emperor's changes back then, his understanding of this three-dimensional was much clearer.

"Of course you do, because these four dimensions are the general outline of everything."

Chen Sheng said with a smile.

"Please teach me, sir."

Tian Che listened to Chen Sheng's words, and the three-dimensional had already had some recognition of the four-dimensional theory.

In the final analysis, the fourth dimension is to analyze the foundation of the country, and the three points that Chen Sheng said have already said that the content of the Holy Emperor's change is almost complete, and I don't know what to say about this fourth dimension.

"The four-dimensional one, the important weapon of the country, is called thought."

Chen Sheng slowly said his fourth dimension.

"Thoughts."
