Chapter 87: The Limits of Vision
Who is Kang Chenggong Zheng Xuan?
He was the first person in the world to learn Confucian scriptures.
He is revered as the "God of the Scriptures".
Now Lu Buguang issued a notice, inviting Kang Chenggong Zheng Xuan to come to Chang'an next year to discuss the Five Classics and standardize the orthodoxy of Confucian scriptures.
Once it was really done by him.
The prestige of Lu Bu, who contributed to this incident, will skyrocket in an instant, and he will be sung by the world's scholars.
As soon as the notice was issued, Jia Xu and Xun You hadn't said anything?
Cai Yong was the first to jump out.
He ran to the general's mansion with a menacing attitude, pointed at Lu Bu and scolded.
"Lu Bu'er, how can such a major matter be arbitrary, and not tell it in advance."
Lu Bu stretched out his hand to stop Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, who wanted to teach this arrogant and humble Cai Yong a lesson.
Cai Zhonglang said this. Ben Hou invited Kang Chenggong and wanted to listen to his teachings. Isn't that okay? ”
Cai Yong said anxiously: "But didn't you want Kang Chenggong to participate in some debate conference?" ”
"That's right. Cai Zhonglang and Mr. Song, you have a dispute over the Confucian scriptures, and it is not okay to go on like this. Ben Hou decided to let Kang Chenggong also come, so that everyone could sit together and discuss it, and determine the righteousness of the Five Classics, so that the scholars would not deviate from the right path, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing! ”
Lu Bu seemed to suddenly come to his senses and said, "Oh. It turned out that Cai Zhonglang was afraid. It doesn't matter, Cai Zhonglang won't participate at that time. ”
trampled to death and was trampled on the tail of the cat, Cai Yong almost jumped up.
His face turned red and he cried out, "Nonsense, how can I be afraid." ”
Lu Bu crossed his hands and said, "Then Cai Zhonglang will participate or not?"
Cai Yong gritted his teeth and said, "Participate!" ”
"That's it. Cai Zhonglang has this kung fu, so he should hurry back and prepare more. Otherwise, if you lose at next year's debate conference. Peck ......"
Seeing Lu Bu's look that you will definitely lose, you will be very embarrassed.
Cai Yong was so angry that he almost beat Lu Bu.
"Thou art a martial artist, how can thou understand the profundity and erudition of Confucian scriptures. Hum! Next year, I will definitely convince the sages. ”
Lu Bu seemed to be very perfunctory and said: "I'll wait and see!" ”
Cai Yong was very dissatisfied with Lu Bu's attitude, and he glared at Lu Bu angrily.
At this time, there was a commotion in the front yard.
Cai Yan walked in quickly with 2 family members.
When she saw Lu Bu, she hurriedly saluted and said, "See the prince." ”
Lu Bu smiled and returned the salute and said, "It's everyone Cai." Your father has promised to participate in next year's local debate tournament. ”
"Ahh Cai Yan was slightly surprised when he heard it.
She knew that her father came in a hurry when he heard the news, because his father knew that Lu Bu was going to hold a scripture debate conference, and he invited Kang Chenggong.
I didn't expect my father to participate in that debate.
Cai Yong shook his head bitterly and said, "Let's go." ”
"Prince, farewell!"
Cai Yan immediately saluted and said goodbye.
Helping his father to sit in the ox cart, Cai Yong's face immediately collapsed.
"I'm on Lu Bu'er's job!"
Cai Yanzheng was curious and asked, "Why did my father say this?" ”
Cai Yong told what happened, and Cai Yan sighed: "Wenhou is indeed not a gentleman's doing. ”
"Whole villain!" Cai Yong shouted: "I can't lose next year's debate conference." Otherwise, there will be no face. ”
Cai Yan thought of Lu Bu in his memory, and then thought of Lu Bu now.
She sighed.
The contrast between before and after is so great that it is impossible to imagine that it is the same person.
Sending Cai Yong away, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Sima Fang came to visit jointly.
"General. Are you really going to build a viewing platform for a debate? ”
Jia Xu, Xun You, and Sima Fang all felt that the thinking of the lord Lu Bu was too jumpy, and he often couldn't keep up with the mind of the lord.
But they didn't expect that Lu Bu's thinking was completely beyond their comprehension.
For the sake of a debate conference, it is necessary to build a so-called arena that can seat nearly 10,000 people on a wasteland five or six miles outside Chang'an City.
What kind of brain pathway is this?
Jia Xu and they all felt that the lord was simply crazy.
How much does it cost to build a restaurant like this?
Does the lord have money and nowhere to spend it!
Wasting money in vain?
Xun You arched his hand and said: "General, tens of thousands of people have recently been relocated. It's time for money. It is a luxury to spend millions to build a viewing platform for a debate. I implore the general to retract his order. ”
Jia Xu also arched his hand and said: "If it is spread out, I am afraid that it will hinder the wisdom of the general." ”
Sima Fang even said directly: "What is the difference between the general's move and the construction of the Afang Palace by the King of Qin?" Please forgive the officials for not daring to listen. ”
Lu Bu held his cheek with his hand.
Ay.
The limitations of the times!
Jia Xu and Xun Yu are all great talents, but their vision is still shackled.
Of course, it may be that there are no books such as economics in this era, so their thinking is still stuck in persuading farmers and mulberry and lightly dispensing with thin labor.
Of course, this also has to do with the productivity of Guda.
The yield is not high, the grain is not enough, if the people are not allowed to farm with peace of mind, there is not enough food, and it is easy to make trouble.
Naturally, we should persuade farmers to do things and lightly punish them.
However, the situation in Guanzhong is very different now.
Lu Bu opened his mouth and said: "Wenhe, Gongda, and Jiangong, the three of you should also know that Guanzhong has moved a million people in the past two years!" ”
Chang'an now has a population of one million, and many of them have migrated from Luoyang and Hedong in the past two years.
They belong to the foreign population, and most of them have no land.
The arrival of these people has enriched the population of Guanzhong, but on the other hand, it has also brought many problems.
First of all, how to settle these people so that they do not starve is a problem.
Sima Fang, Xun You, and Mao Jue all worked hard to resettle these immigrants, and set aside a lot of wasteland for them to cultivate.
This kind of wasteland is not yet ripe land, and the harvest is not good in the first year or two.
Under the tight relationship between supply and demand, prices in Guanzhong have soared in the past two years.
As a result, the real income of many migrants has plummeted, and their families have starved.
In this case, there is naturally a lot of resentment, and at the same time, there are many cases of stealing chickens and dogs, and robbing houses.
Law and order have also deteriorated.
Sima Fang, Xun You, and Mao Yu also had a big headache for this matter.
They have taken quite a few measures.
Yes, some results have been obtained, but the effect is minimal.
Sima Fang arched his hand and said, "Exactly." It is precisely because of this that it is necessary to appease the people, and the general really has to spend a huge amount of money to build a flashy viewing platform, so that he is very happy, does not it make the world's wise men chill? ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.
"Jiangong, how can Ben Hou not know the importance of the matter. The platform was built in the hope of settling the people. ”
Sima Fang was stunned for a moment and asked: "The lower officials are ignorant, and they still hope that the general will advise, how can the construction of the viewing platform settle the people?" ”
Lu Bu replied: "I recruited people to build the viewing platform, and it was not that I didn't give money. It is for the wages, and those people can feed the family. ”
I heard the lord say that the people who were recruited were for wages, not for servitude. Sima Fang couldn't react a little.
How did you give the money?
Hasn't it always been that the people have always been required to serve as conscripts and work for the government?
If you give money, it will seem that you can feed a family.
It's just that......
Sima Fang was getting older, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while.
Xun You reacted and said, "General, you recruited so many people to build the viewing platform. What about the fields? Who will plant it? Where does the food come from? ”
