Chapter 1217: The Way of the Yellow Heavens
But just from a distance, a person suddenly came in a hurry to report the situation.
The name of the person who came was Xu Or, in his early thirties, he used to be in the Huang Tianjun, he was a captain, but in the previous battle, by the time Zhao Cheng found the other party, one of his arms had already died, and even if Zhao Cheng had not been treated with medical skills, the injury would have been delayed for a few days, and his life would have been in danger.
In the army, the loss of an arm is undoubtedly a waste.
If you are injured in the line of duty in peacetime, you will generally change the department you are in and get an idle position, but now, Huang Tian is defeated, a wasted person, and if you want to live, it is very difficult and you will be marginalized, which is inevitable.
However, Zhao Cheng took a fancy to the other party's ability to read and hyphenation.
Indeed, in this era, only by memorizing the books of sages can he barely be regarded as a reader, but Zhao Cheng also knows that he has no chance to pick at present.
Just literacy and hyphenation are enough to surpass nine out of nine people in this era.
Let's just say that the remnants of the Yellow Sky that he gathered, nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, of which only 30 can read and write.
Among the more than 30 people who are literate, about one-third of them are literate, but their thinking is very stiff and sluggish, and they are not flexible enough, which is also the inevitability of ideological imprisonment.
In this world, even if ordinary people are lucky enough to know some words, unless they are talented and intelligent to a certain level, they are just dead reading, and the more they read, the more stubborn they become.
It is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, not only because of the difference in resources that can be seen, but more importantly, because of the invisible words and deeds.
If you want to reverse the solidified thinking, it's not impossible, but it takes time, Zhao Cheng is currently lacking the most time, and it is impossible to waste it in this regard.
Therefore, it can only be that from among these more than 30 people, more than a dozen people with more flexible thinking were selected to reluctantly construct the original "political system".
The so-called integration of the military and the government does not mean that there is a government in the army and an army in the government, but that the two are independent and controlled by one person, so that they are united.
Just like in the imperial court, civil and military are separated, and in the end, the emperor is in charge of everything.
And if the military and the government are mixed, it will be chaos, and collapse is not far away.
As for politics, it is the strength and the people of the army, but as for the government, it is the logistics such as money and grain, and the promotion, demotion and rewards and punishments of officers, and so on.
Therefore, the imperial court has six departments, officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and these six departments are the government, and in this way, the army is controlled.
Zhao Cheng is now also taking precautions, although the number of 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command is still a little worse, and he has not even occupied a village or a county, but temporarily hidden in the mountains, but his vision is extremely long-term.
There is an army without a government, that is, it can be fought but not governed, a city, even if it is defeated, can not be operated, so that the bigger the food, the bigger the more soldiers and horses, when the time comes, even if it occupies a lot of cities, but its own strength is constantly consumed.
In the past, Huang Tiandao was like this, when he first started, it was almost to the extreme, and in just a few years, it had swept the world, but after the peak, his strength was constantly consumed, and he could not be effectively replenished.
Huang Tiandao is not a mediocre person, but when Huang Tiandao sweeps the world, many things are no longer under his control.
But what Zhao Cheng was thinking about was that he was taking advantage of the fact that no one could control himself for the time being, and all the power was in his hands, so he took this opportunity to build the prototype of the political system first.
When this system matures, it will continue to absorb new people and reproduce this set of models.
This model can be regarded as a continuation of the original system of this world, there are changes, but it has not been subverted, too much beyond the times, it will be eaten by the times, this is an unbreakable truth.
Yes, Zhao Cheng took the six parts as the basis and made some streamlined changes.
Some rights, such as the appointment and dismissal of officials corresponding to the authority of the Ministry of Officials, the rewards and punishments of the Ministry of Justice, and the control of the army corresponding to the Ministry of War, are still in Zhao Cheng's hands, while the other part is limited by conditions, such as the household registration and taxation of the Ministry of Households, the construction of the Ministry of Industry, and the various etiquettes of the Ministry of Rites, that is, spiritual construction.
Xu Or is the Taoist official promoted by Zhao Cheng, the person who corresponds to the functions of the Ministry of Rites, and there are six literate people under him, which are assigned to him.
At present, these people are mainly learning the way of the Yellow Sky.
The way of the Yellow Sky is a name that is more in line with the style of painting of this era and is easy to be accepted by the people of this era.
Its foundation is to start from the fundamentals, always adhere to the road, and take Huang Tian as the core.
In addition, we have always adhered to the way of the Yellow Sky with General Ying Tian as the core, and only General Ying Tian can lead everyone to victory.
In the end, it is the explanation of Huang Tian, Zhao Cheng did not engage in those things that were too profound and mysterious, and at the same time, considering the characteristics of people in this era, the content in it was not ahead of its time.
There is no opening of the mouth for the sake of the common people in the world, and the closing of the mouth is the great harmony of the world, these are too far away from the ordinary people of this era.
The core of the yellow sky, simple and unpretentious, the sky has no way, the yellow sky replaces, follow the yellow sky, there is a field to take, there is food to eat, you can eat enough, I only hope that under the yellow sky, you can get a mouthful of food, and there are no white bones on the road......
The so-called people's hearts are again and again, giving people an idea, many times, for a long time, and if it is done, it will naturally be convincing.
That's how people's hearts are cultivated.
Zhao Cheng didn't learn from Huang Tiandao, let everyone chant together, that space was too empty, it was not that there was no effect, but that the effect was not enough.
Zhao Cheng's plan was to let a few smart people study first, and when they finished learning, they would go to the army to teach the officers, and then reward and punish them according to their learning performance.
Even, in the follow-up in the army, if the official position exceeds a certain level, it must be learned within a certain period of time, if not, the time will be extended, if not, it will not be promoted, and then come back after a period of time, and those who do not agree with this concept will gradually be marginalized.
Even, in the end, each guard is equipped with a Taoist official of the Ministry of Rites to preach the way of the Yellow Heaven.
The so-called Taoist officials are officials who tell people the truth.
For "etiquette", Zhao Cheng takes it very seriously.
……
"General, my subordinates think that the previous plan can already be put on the agenda, the general's explanation of the way of the Yellow Sky is easy to understand, even if it is illiterate, it is not difficult to understand, Wu Yu, Sun Yi and others, although they are a little wooden, but after so many days, they have already kept everything in mind, not only knowing, but also barely ...... to talk about it."
Xu or tell the story.
"With the talents of those people, if you don't go to the actual explanation to others, comprehend in practice, and learn here, it is already the limit, and it will be just a waste of time to learn again."
During this time, he focused on this matter, and gradually, he also realized the meaning inside, different from the profound Huangtian scriptures, Zhao Cheng's move was to abandon the scriptures, just to take its actual effect.
Ordinary people follow Huang Tianjun, but they don't actually understand what the scriptures mean, and obscure scriptures are like heavenly books to them.
The reason why they follow is only because they are simple, they can live if they have food to eat, and they will starve to death if they don't follow.
Scriptures or something, not many ordinary people care.
Huang Tian Dao people, first scholars, and then cultivators, after all, there is a bit of high and low, in the scriptures, from too many aspects, to explain the orthodoxy of Huang Tian.
But the main force of Huang Tiandao is not the scholars and meat eaters who can understand the connotation of it, but the poorest and most miserable people.
Even if the enemy understands it, it is only the enemy, and letting others understand it is the most important thing.
