542 The Red Dust of the World
After a few years, the Terrans have changed a lot. For monks, a thousand years are like a drop in the ocean, but in the world, a thousand years have changed the world. The qiē here is very different from what it used to be.
In the past, although the life here was tranquil and comfortable, it was not rich, and it could only be said to be food and clothing. But since the Seven Sons of Quanzhen became famous, there were more people who came here, and they wanted to eat and drink, so they naturally needed to buy, so the villagers here had additional income. And the entry of outsiders also made people here want to go out.
As a result, the exchange of people and goods began to flow.
Near Jungnan Mountain, the change is not too big, but the further out, the greater the change, the stronger the mobility of people, and in the marginal place, there is an additional town with a large bazaar for exchanging goods. This bazaar was not built by Bai Xiaosheng's men, but by the noble merchants outside.
Apparently, he saw the commercial prospects of this place, and built this bazaar, collected the local products from the surrounding area, shipped them out to sell, and brought some novelties from the outside to sell here.
Obviously, there are good and bad things in this kind of exchange, and the good thing is that everyone has seen more and knows more. The downside is also this, and at the same time, the rich and the poor are beginning to appear.
In the past, he was not rich here, but he was not poor, and everyone was not bad for food and drink, but there was not much wealth. But with the entry of outsiders, business began to appear on a large scale, some people who tasted crabs first became rich, and others were naturally greedy, so there were many people who did business.
Some of them have homes, some have lost their homes, and so on.
The most important point. It's the outside mind that influences the people here. This is what Bai Xiaosheng does not want. Just as Zhen Yuanzi asked him, a drop of water dripped into the sea. It is to be assimilated by the sea.
Bai Xiaosheng didn't want the people under his rule to become philistines and become uncertain about life and death.
Walking all the way, looking all the way, Bai Xiaosheng's face was very bad. Entering this new city, feeling the noisy atmosphere, and rolling, made him even more pale.
He knew that if he let it go on. Sooner or later, this place will be assimilated. It seems that he is going to rearrange it, and he can't let these things go on and on.
Actually, what he saw was not very strict, compared to now, the people here are still much better, at least everyone believes in the promise, abides by the agreement, and the people are much simpler. It's just that he has a prophetic memory. I know that this opening cannot be sealed. He didn't think about sealing it, it was impossible, but it was still possible to guide.
It's just that he also has one worry, that is, will the prosperity of knowledge lead to confusion in thinking?
We all know that. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was the time when Chinese thought was extremely prosperous, but it was also the most chaotic time, and no one obeyed anyone. All kinds of scrambles arise all the time.
Everyone looked down on Confucianism and felt that the exclusive respect for Confucianism was a great failure of China. But in that era, this could solve a hundred schools of thought. To achieve the goal of domestic peace and centralization, otherwise, where did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expel the Xiongnu. This qiē is complementary to each other, and if you want to solve it with today's methods, it is simply impossible.
This is also the reason why Bai Xiaosheng has always left a foundation for his knowledge and does not dare to extend too much, he is afraid of creating Confucius and Mencius. When the time comes, what to do?
He also came to a book-burning pit Confucian!
Now, there are transactions, although there were before, but it is a thing-to-thing transaction, which is very simple. But when it comes to money, it's a different story. It can be said that although the emergence of coins has prospered the world, it has also created a series of problems. The so-called economy is based on money, otherwise it is not an economy at all.
Bai Xiaosheng's apprentice made a contract, this is based on the law, but the law has loopholes, it seems to be stronger than moral constraints, but people are shameless, what can you do?
In this way, there is no need to use morality, Bai Xiaosheng can completely pour that kind of one-word and nine-hearted theory into people's bones and become a moral code. In this way, not only can he restrain the people here, but he can also slowly change the minds of outsiders. However, the law cannot be lost, after all, the law that appears is the general trend, and it is not the best policy to go against the trend.
But it is completely dependent on the law, but it is also the next policy. Don't forget that even in modern times, the law doesn't control everything, and many things still depend on morality.
Only when morality is well constructed can we really restrain people's behavior, and will not make people feel at a loss and completely imprisoned. Like the three outlines and five constants in ancient times, they can't be used, they are completely imprisoning people's minds and souls, and if the supremacy of monarchy is brought out, Bai Xiaosheng will not be the target of public criticism.
"TNN, you have to be careful how you go, really TMCD. Secretly scolded, Bai Xiaosheng shook his head vigorously. That's a lot of discomfort.
On the main road, Bai Xiaosheng left the range of Zhongnan Mountain and headed for the hinterland of the Central Plains. He wanted to see what the Central Plains looked like today.
The idea is that the princes are still in their own way, although there is a great king in name, but in fact it is only the most powerful tribe, and it is not like the dynasty of later generations, life and death.
Bai Xiaosheng thinks this is desirable, and if the Zen concession system is added, it will be even better, a bit of the meaning of the United States. Unfortunately, it's difficult, and who wants to give up the right to get it?
Why do people like to be emperors, it is for the right to do whatever they want, whether you are a bright monarch or a faint monarch, you can't escape this.
Bai Xiaosheng wanted to make relevant changes, but he also had his own ideas, that is, to change near Zhongnan Mountain. In the past, he was mostly laissez-faire, but later he had a college, and he was generally the manager of the college. In fact, there is not much to do, but now it can be disregarded.
The villagers near Zhongnan Mountain have long been assigned to Zhongnan Mountain, but in fact, it is Bai Xiaosheng himself. It's just that he didn't move, and kept it all the time. But now it seems that it needs to be clarified.
With a clear right to rule, he can do things and no one else can say anything.
Walking into a tribe, Bai Xiaosheng's brows suddenly furrowed, the smell in the air is too bad!
Carefully scanning the magnificent lives of the people around him, Bai Xiaosheng shook his head slightly. The people of this tribe are really not living well. There is no comparison with him at all.
It can be said that people here can only live!
I walked a little further to the Central Plains. Bai Xiaosheng saw a relatively large city, and it was much more prosperous here. Arguably. This is a natural phenomenon, just like in China back then. The bigger you go, the more prosperous you become, and the remote mountain villages are naturally poor. Bai Xiaosheng is a special case.
In today's world, there is also a difference, that is, the emergence of various local products and scenic spots, which makes the countryside and the town combined. It can be said that this exhibition mode is the way out for the countryside. However, it is obviously impossible to achieve that kind of unusually wealthy Cheng dù. Because there are more exhibitions, everyone is tired of it.
Bai Xiaosheng, who stopped and went, visited a lot of places, and also saw many good things and bad things of the human race, and the kind of destruction in the exhibition was actually shocking.
The most obvious point is the field.
Cultivated land needs to be developed, otherwise there will be more people and not enough food. The first thing to open up was the meadow, and the trees were lifted along with it. In this way, the cultivated land is larger. But the grasslands are gone, and the trees are gone. At first glance, some places are full of cultivated land, and they seem to be beautiful. But it's worrying. Isn't it because of this exhibition that the land of thousands of miles in this pass has become a place full of yellow sand?
To sum it up in modern terms. That is, productivity is developing too slowly. Unless Bai Xiaosheng can greatly liberate the productive forces and let one acre of land produce more grain. Otherwise, this kind of land reclamation cannot be stopped.
With him, farm tools have improved considerably. The yield per mu is more than twice that of the outside, and now it has been passed on. In the nearby tribes, he saw many fields with new farming tools. It's just that it is also based on people's own agricultural tools, which are made by people and made by animals, but there are very few, after all, livestock are more valuable than people in this era.
The only one that has spread on a large scale is the waterwheel. Farmland needs water, but there are places where there is not enough water, what should I do? This is the role of the waterwheel. Whether it is a place with a lot of water or a place with little water, it can play a big role. So the waterwheel is about to be rolled out, and there are such tools outside the large farmland.
Others, such as hoes and shovels, are not good, because the iron-smelting process here is far from mature, let alone iron-smelting, and even copper has never been widely expanded, and more are still wooden. Fortunately, wood was harder at this time, and the hardness of many woods was even more of a metal tool for smelting.
But humans can't use these woods, because they can't carve them!
To put it bluntly, these two are mutually protective and cannot be promoted, which is a pity!
Back at Zhongnan Mountain, Bai Xiaosheng wrote down seven strategies, based on the nearby exhibition, his first strategy was to collect the power and receive the rights to the academy. No one can say anything about this, and even everyone thinks that this is the way it should be, because the prestige of the academy is too high.
The second policy is the interpretation of business, there is morality and law, and the two are combined to form a unique moral and commercial law, which regulates and restricts the people here, and also spreads to the outside through the new city.
The third policy is the explanation of the rich and the poor, Bai Xiaosheng quoted the exposition of etiquette, said the root of human inferiority, said the origin of etiquette, and made certain norms, including constraints on outsiders, as well as constraints on the rich themselves, and with the virtue of good deeds, added to the rich to form a moral covenant.
The fourth strategy is the promotion of technology, especially the promotion of agricultural tools. He told what he had seen and heard when he went out to wander, and that the action of opening up the wasteland was criticized by everyone of him, and he thought that it was an act of destroying nature and was not advisable. He felt that it was right to open up wasteland, but blind development would not work, and there should be a plan, and the increase of wasteland was nothing more than for food, so increasing grain production should be the right way. He also compared his rule with the outside, expounded the bloody comparison figures, and pointed out that this is the result of farm tools.
The fifth policy is about land fertility, which is another method related to food production in addition to agricultural tools. He used the forest to illustrate this point, brought out the concept of human fertilizer, and advocated the collection of human fertilizer.
The sixth policy is about people's etiquette. In a similar way, he expounded the basic truth, and also expounded the dangers that this point may bring, and gave warnings.
In the seventh policy, he talked about the exhibition of man himself. He felt that man himself was a treasure, and external objects maintained their own lives, but if they wanted to prolong their lives, they had to rely on their own cultivation. To put it bluntly, he pointed out the concept of martial arts, that is, cultivation. He also gave various examples of this, which are based on the people under the rule of Zhongnan Mountain.
These seven strategies are his seven curatorial rules for cleaning up the world, and he has people carve them into monuments and put them in the surrounding villages and towns, and let the students of the academy interpret them one by one, detailing the various benefits and disadvantages.
This is his seven-policy doctrine based on the peace between man and nature, combined with the history of his later generations, and is definitely far away from the cognition of today's people. In the vicinity of Zhongnan Mountain, there is no problem, because he pointed it out early, everyone can accept it, and even take it for granted, but in the new city, there are some waves.
People talk about good fortune and avoid evil, and the same is true in terms of interests, they like the promotion of agricultural tools, but they can't deny the suspension of land reclamation. This is a clear violation of their interests.
It's just that when you come here, you have to abide by the rules here, even if this new city is not built by Bai Xiaosheng, it also belongs to his territory, if you don't follow the rules, don't think about coming in.
Bai Xiaosheng also took advantage of violence! This seems to be inevitable!
