"The fence of the country is controlled by qi, and the governing power comes out of it. ”

Ye Qing's theoretical perspective ignores class at all, or stands at the highest place and looks down, believing that governing power is the third place in national politics.

The fence is the cage fence, the system is the tax system, and the administration is at the back.

"Or at home, it's a rite. ”

"Or to the country, it is called the law. ”

"Exhibition in the world, it may be said to be the way"

The cage is at home, it is an ethical ritual, and in the country it is the legal net, and in the world, it is the avenue.

"Bundle without yielding, thieves are getting more and more chaotic, wide and high, it is Yun Mingde. ”

This means that the cage is very tight, and every gesture is forbidden by law, which makes people resist, Ye Qing can't help but think of the curse of the earth slaves to the slave owners: "Time is lost, and you are all dead." ”

and it becomes a fence, and it will bring all the people to their hearts.

Every society relaxes the fence according to the times, slavery to feudalism, feudalism to republic, republic to democracy, all of these principles.

"The way of a great country, its cage is grateful?

The setting of the cage fence should be valuable

The big one is fenced, and the small one is caged, which is said to be the one who has the way. ”

This is to say, the essence of governing the country is the same as managing the cage fence, the cage fence has a cost, the cage can't fit, so the fence is too high, too big, and it is inconvenient to produce gas (tax), then it is reduced to the cage, which is the way.

"Heaven sets life and death as a cage, the sun is high and the moon is far away, and all things are dogs, so humanity is autonomous, or democracy. ”

This means that heaven and earth are enclosed by life and death, all things are in the pasture, metabolism, and cannot be detached, and it is precisely because it cannot be detached that humanity has gained autonomy, and humanity lies in the people, which may be called democracy.

In Ye Qing's view, this is not only the way of the Taoist monarch in this world, but also the principle of the democratic system - the fence is strong, and the free-range cattle and sheep are not afraid of fleeing or being hunted, and it is precisely because of this that they are not afraid, so the cattle and sheep run on the grassland.

Three thousand people were busy writing, immersed in the atmosphere of the Dao domain, and were able to give full play to their best strength, Ye Qing's thoughts were like springs at this time, and the pen was like divine help, after completion, he read through the whole article, his spirit was refreshing, and he felt hearty, and he thought to himself: "These two volumes are completed." ”

Although it is said that there are two volumes, one is the Tao, and the other is the world, but the truth runs through, in one go, or it can be the same as the Tao Te Ching, divided into two parts. ”

"It's still a while before noon, but it's better to polish it carefully. ”

Ye Qing meditated for a moment, checked word by word, neatly coupled, balanced structure, added and deleted words, changed to the most reluctant, a few words are not easy, the reason is pure, and the tone is through

After changing to the worst, Ye Qing himself was in a trance, and a kind of realization welled up in his heart - unless he accumulated more money, it would be difficult to write this.

The following things are very simple, and then formally transcribe these to the original manuscript, which will be completed in less than half an hour, with calligraphy, it is really full of volumes, and the dragon is surging.

With a sigh, the scroll rested on the desk, and in the afterglow, there was a trace of purple on the surface of the scroll, but there was no such thing, it seemed to be just an illusion.

Ye Qing raised his head, but he met two gazes, but it was Tong Shan and Daoren, and they withdrew it in a blink of an eye.

"Strange" frowned and thought about it, didn't know the essentials, didn't pay attention to it, sorted out the volumes one by one, sat upright and closed his eyes to recuperate, writing without realizing it, and now his mind is relaxed, and he is tired physically and mentally like a tide, as if he had fought a big war.

No one around noticed Ye Qing, only Yu Fan sat on the side of the hall, unintentionally turned his eyes, seeing this, his eyes shrank, and a dazzling ink spot fell on the paper with a shake of the pen......

Ye Qing felt it, looked sideways, but everyone was normal, this leaky pot had been reset several times, most of the time for the exam had passed, and most of the people around him were nervous or calm, most of them were still writing, and a few had finished writing and were repairing over and over again.

"Come to think of it, what time and place is this, this is when God is listening, everyone is the choice of the moment. Ye Qing thought like this, and regretted slightly: "I should have been striving for excellence during the half-day exam, but unfortunately my level is not enough, and it is difficult to improve even if I repair, so I can't use the rest of the time." ”

"There is still half an hour to wrap up, and everyone pays attention to the time. "There is a deputy examiner on it who reminds that the leaky pot will be reset at the last time.

After a while, the chief examiner Tong Shan came down to make his rounds.

Slowly turned around, passing by the middle side, Tong Shan inadvertently glanced at a scroll, and then looked at Ye Qing to close his eyes and recuperate, Tong Shan instinctively wanted to remind him, but immediately sobered up, remembered his identity at this time, and left without leaving a trace.

Tong Shan returned to the stage, nodded to the Taoist, and went to the side hall to inspect again, everything was normal.

The Taoist sat in the back, his eyes flashed, and he laughed silently.

"The time has come, raise the son and stop writing"

As early as a moment ago, the lifters put down their pens one after another, and at this time they could not hear each other's voices, only their expressions of tiredness, regret, or pride...... It doesn't look like it's broken

Ye Qing quietly looked at the faces of all beings after the exam, until everyone put away the papers, and said again: "Please leave the table." ”

Ye Qing followed and got up and walked out of the silent man.

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, the notes in his body were alive again, the bright noon sun, the wind blew through the corridor, and there was a sound of discussion in his rustling footsteps...... I can feel luck again, I can mobilize the Dao Law, I can subconsciously turn around and look, I can see the candlelight in the hall, I can hear the sound inside, but the eyes of Wei Tian are pitch black, which is obviously the isolation of the Dao domain.

The feast was prepared early, in a square, and when I raised my son, I saw a table, which was too many people, and there was no temple to accommodate it, so I had to be here.

There weren't many delicacies on the table, just five plates and a small pot of wine.

Everyone bowed to thanksgiving, although everyone was hungry, but they all held their breath and ate with their hearts, only hearing the cups and plates or rattling, but there was no laughter or discussion.

Ye Qing ignored it, poured the wine, and drank a full cup in one gulp, although he didn't gobble it up, he didn't eat it quietly.

Half an hour later, Xie En left the table, and heard someone shouting: "Everyone be quiet, follow me out of the road, and walk along the heavenly street, and do not scatter or cross the line." ”

It was the same process again, until the seven thousand people returned to the Imperial City Square, and the vermilion lacquer bronze nail gate was closed behind the back, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Qing looked back at the resplendent triple gatehouse, and knew in his heart that many people would never have a chance to enter this gate again.

Among the 7,000 moves, most of them have passed the examination for two or three times, and their age has reached a critical point, and what awaits them is that they have to join the county and enter the officialdom with nine grades

More than ten years of youth and decades of life have passed.

The crowd discussed: "When will it be released?"

"It's going to be very fast, and in just three days, the twenty-first may be out of the list. ”

"In the past, there were only 3,000 people, and the list was released in three days, but this year's candidates are 7,000, how can three days be enough?"

"Huh...... Heavenly Court chooses, how can you imagine the speed of the immortals' grading? Maybe three days will be more than enough."

"There are 7,000 candidates this year, and it is rumored that the imperial court is going to triple the number of fellow jinshi, I don't know if it's true or not."

"Yes, maybe a little more, but not twice as much......"

Listening to these discussions, Ye Qing smiled, looked for an ox cart, said the name of the store, and ordered: "Just go"

Pingshou County, Nanlian Mountain

This is the embankment of the main canal, and I saw a lot of people coming, full of continuous ox carts, I am afraid that there are hundreds of them, some of them are the Ye family's own ox carts, and some of them are ox carts from various families to transport raw materials.

These people watched the canals and waterwheels at this time, and at this time the transplanted rows of willow trees were basically alive, and now they had drawn out the young shoots, tender and yellow, and they were drooping in the spring breeze, so that they could not help talking.

"The canal waterwheel, the Ye family's plan is not small, you see that as long as this canal releases water, it will become a paddy field in a few days, and maybe you can grow rice. ”

"I heard that if you don't plant rice, you have to continue to grow yams, but even this yamsa is worth it, although the price is low, but the yield per mu is a lot."

"Yes, don't say it's a share, even if you sell the yams, you can make a lot of money. ”

"Hey, buy it for 300,000 taels of silver, if you don't make it, how can you get it back?"

When the sweet potato grows up, in addition to the people in the workshop, there are many famous people in other towns who come to see the strangeness, and they are all talking about it, and the clansmen are happy.

On the built barn floor, rows of heavy scales are lined up, and the route is drawn and divided into ten rows, each row has a weigher, a clerk, and someone is assigned to supervise.

Farther away, rows of ox carts lined up on the side of the road, waiting to be moved to the ox carts as soon as they were weighed, and then out of the square when they turned a corner.

"Mr. Lu, according to your instructions, everything is ready, is it time to raise vines?" After a while, there was a report from the people of Xiangtian Hall.

Lu Shangjing saw that it was indeed completed, so he ordered: "Begin"

As the order was given, thousands of people cheered and raised vines together, while women and children helped push the carts to transport the sweet potatoes.

There wasn't much time, and the potatoes were piled up in the square.

Qianqian and Ye Zifan were all smiling, looking at it, Lu Shangjing saw it and ordered: "Continue to plant, pick out good vine branches and cut them, plant them back, and use the others as feed for pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and they can't be wasted." ”

"The yam is important and careful, so that each household can make money"

"Also, the yams that have been weighed and recorded can be transported."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw someone trotting all the way and asked, "What's the matter?"

The man ran a little out of breath, panting slightly and said, "Know...... Lord Lu of the county is here."

Qianqian, who had not spoken all the time, was just an overseer, frowning at this time: "It's finally here." ”

"Can you come, 10,000 acres of yams, you have to come and see it, that's it, I'm afraid there are other thoughts," Ye Zifan said coldly.

Lu Shangjing thought about it, but his expression was very flat: "Don't worry, there is a land deed, even if you don't want the face of the government, this is the land he sold with his own hands, and he will regret it in less than half a year, not afraid that the county will write an evaluation?"

"Of course, the most important thing is still in the lord, now the palace exam has not yet come out, who dares to bet that the lord will not pass the exam, and who dares to tear up the contract now?"

"However, since the county magistrate is here, the third master and I will still go out to greet us. ”
