Three Kingdoms

Because the third assistant in Guanzhong had heavy affairs, it was already dusk by the time Zhuge Jin returned home. Officials like Zhuge Jin who were assigned "dormitories" in Chang'an City were doing well and could return home sooner or later. However, many Han officials were not so happy. Generally speaking, they could only leave the official residence and return home when they had a rest. , and the rest of the time is basically spent in the government office all day long.

After eating the breasts and taking a short rest, Zhuge Jin went to the study and saw a somewhat confused Zhuge Liang.

On the desk, there is still the chapter written by Zhuge Liang before. There are many traces of smearing and modification, but it seems that it is not fully formed yet.

"What's the problem?" ” asked Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, put down his pen, and recounted what happened during the day with General Fei Qian.

"Whoever governs a big country is like cooking a small one?" ” Zhuge Jin murmured and repeated.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "I said at the beginning that if you cook fresh food, you should be careful about disturbing it, but Qiao Qi's words are just one of them." Later I thought about it, when cooking fresh food, there should be condiments, which is the second one, and there is also heat, which should not be excessive, which can be the third one..."

Zhuge Jin nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, yes." However, judging from your intention, it seems that there are other explanations? 』

Zhuge Liang said: "The strategy of hussar...well, I think after all, it's not that simple...such as the "Law of Lending Orders"..."

Zhuge Jin frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhuge Liang's remarks, stood up, and first ordered the servants outside the door to prepare some tea, then walked back and said, "Even in a dark room, you need to be cautious... discuss privately." At this time, you should drive away your servants... You must know that three people can become tigers. If you praise a lot, you will be easy to flatter. If you criticize, you will be destroyed... Okay, let's talk..."

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, brother... This "Law of Lending Orders" is now just a name, and has not been implemented in practice..."

That's right, not to mention the new laws and regulations, even those laws and regulations issued before may not all be able to reach the fields. So does this mean that these laws and regulations of General Fei Qian are all lies? Neither. These laws and regulations are like idle pieces on the chessboard, and you never know when they will come in handy.

But by doing this, can the people really get improved?

not necessarily. Because aristocratic families and local tycoons have many ways to circumvent this "Lending Law", such as finding a legal representative, multi-party holdings, etc... Well, it's collusion. Anyway, this is what it means. I believe everyone who understands it. Understand……

Then Zhuge Liang said: "There is the Red Emperor Palace again..."

Zhuge Liang told the story about the Red Emperor Palace again.

Zhuge Jin took a long breath, then exhaled slowly, looked at Zhuge Liang and said: "You have high hopes from the Cavalry...you should work harder..."

Zhuge Liang raised his eyes and looked at Zhuge Jin. When he was about to say something, Zhuge Jin stretched out his hand to express that there was no need to say anything. Then he stood up and walked around the study room twice before saying, "Logically speaking, I should let you do it yourself." Thinking can be profound only in this way... However, since Hussar allowed me to return home, I should know that you will ask me for advice... Anyway, I will say one... "Law of Lending Orders"..."

Zhuge Liang sat up straight, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, please give me some advice." 』

Zhuge Jin nodded and said, "Let's not care about the laws and regulations for the moment. Let's talk about the chaos in the Seven Kingdoms first... What's the matter? Is there no law or order? Isn't the crime of treason serious? Don’t you know that what you are doing is an act of rebellion? Or do you not understand the moral principles of the world and the will of the people? 』

"Is it beneficial to the country to divide vassals into towns and divide the land to govern?" Zhuge Jin said, turning to look at the sky outside the door, "The Han Dynasty has thousands of miles of territory, and there are more than tens of millions of talented people... However, hey... there are too many talented people, which may not be a good thing... 』

"Let me ask you, why is the "law of loan orders" so flawed? Why not elaborate? Why not follow the rules and implement the local regulations? But Qiaoqi doesn’t know? 』

Zhuge Jin shook his head, "No...then if that's the case, what's the point?" 』

After all, Zhuge Jin is older than Zhuge Liang, and he has "trained" with Qiusi for a period of time. His understanding of these things, especially at the political level, is naturally more profound.

Of course, in comparison, the current Zhuge Liang is already very good. After all, even in the era when informatization has exploded in later generations and anyone who is willing can collect relevant information, there are still many young people in their teens. Thinking about how to have fun and how to be happy, some people may not be willing to pay attention to the relatively unpleasant politics, and when they actually encounter it, they will regret why they didn't know better earlier.

Zhuge Liang naturally knew that the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" mentioned by Zhuge Jin was not just about Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, but was referring to the current situation and even the powerful gentry system under local separatism.

These local lords and large local households, like the small Seven Kingdoms, split the Han Dynasty into small vassal towns one after another. In order to maintain their own ruling rights, even if they knew the relevant laws and regulations, they would treat them as unreasonable. I know, I don’t know, I don’t understand…

Isn’t it a sin for those who don’t know anyway?

Who said this?

Why would these people say such things again?

"Therefore, this matter, this law, is just a test..." Zhuge Jin said.

"Try it?" Zhuge Liang frowned and thought.

There is a saying. Mr. Zhou, please sit down. "There is nothing new under the sun." Is that what you said? Is not it? Even if it's what you said...then what does this "new news" refer to?

It's profit.

When everything is put through the lens of interests, many things are revealed for what they really are.

Do you think that these natives of the Han Dynasty are all fools and have been reduced to wisdom?

Don't these nobles understand? Or maybe Fei Qian won't resist anything he says or does?

If you really think so, I'm afraid you're just a fool.

As the old forces, these gentry heroes in Guanzhong are undoubtedly the beneficiaries of the current division of East and West in the Han Dynasty. If it were not for Fei Qian, then they would probably still be regarded as second-class gentry, a family of barbarians, and a bunch of people in Yuzhou and Jizhou. People are excluded from the court, they have to block the invasion of the Qiang people, and they have to lick the hougouzi of the people in Shandong. Under such circumstances, these nobles in Guanzhong and Shanxi, will the local powerful feel comfortable? Will you lie down willingly, and then scream out that it feels so good and comfortable?

So as long as Fei Qian doesn't overturn the existing situation, even if Fei Qian does some outrageous things, everyone will still be good friends laughing and smiling on the surface. At most, they could just secretly spit on the table, grab a bean plate, etc. Anyway, everything revolves around the condition that the table cannot be turned over. Most of those who had their bean plate taken away grit their teeth and endured it. .

Because the local nobles in Guanzhong and Shanxi knew very well that Fei Qian was now here, so they had the right to eat at the table, and they also had the prospect of letting those guys in Shandong lie down and scream for comfort, so before they were sure that Fei Qian was going to lift the In front of the table, these nobles in Guanzhong and Shanxi will not move their butts...

So is there any indication that Fei Qian is going to completely overturn the case?

Apparently not.

Is the "Law of Loan Order" really just for execution? Of course, we don’t rule out the possibility of catching typical situations in the end, but now it’s more about showing an attitude.

Fei Qian knocked on the table and said, common people, please pay attention to the common people! Now it’s a natural disaster! For those of you who are paralyzed, please don’t look too ugly! The special 996 can be made, are the knives and hammers really just decorations?

Of course, some people will also clamor, I eat meat and drink blood based on my ability, what’s wrong? Is this still a restriction? Those who were eaten by me were all of their own free will! They are all lazy! If these guys work harder and climb a little higher, won't they be eaten? Can you blame me? The only people to blame are these people themselves! I eat them, and they are also lucky! You know, not everyone is what I’m willing to eat!

Then Fei Qian smiled and said, I heard you are not convinced? Don't you want to give it a try?

"Yes! Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, "That's why there is the Red Emperor Palace!" 』

Zhuge Jin smiled and nodded slightly.

Knowing everything, Zhuge Liang obviously understood other things, his eyes were bright, "Those who govern a big country are like cooking small vegetables!" Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies! Ha ha! Got it, got it! The so-called intrusion, assistance, and heat are all second-rate things! The most important thing is to first know what to treat and what to cook! Things are decided by people and things are accomplished because of people, that's all! 』

Zhuge Jin smiled slightly and said, "Do you know how to write a watch?" 』

"Um! ” Zhuge Liang nodded.

Zhuge Jin smiled and said: "In this case, there is no need to rush for a while. It will be getting late. It is better to rest. It will not be too late to start writing when you are full of energy tomorrow, so that you can be clear and not make any mistakes..."

……O(∩_∩)O……

In the Hussar General's Mansion, in the backyard hall, Fei Qian was sitting in the middle, sipping tea. And Pang Tong was sitting on one side, holding not tea in his hand, but a watch stamp that had just been delivered to him from the Red Emperor Palace.

"how? "When Fei Qian saw that Pang Tong had finished reading, he put down his tea bowl and asked.

Pang Tong touched his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, "Not bad..."

Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang was still on the way, and the one who was closer to Fei Qian was naturally Pang Tong.

Qiao Bing is not important, at least not as important as Wei Duan and others expected. Just like his Five Gods, in the whole link, whether it is Qiao Bing or the Red Emperor Palace, they are one Pretense.

Of course, fiction may also become reality. As for how much will become true and how much will remain false, it depends on future changes...

What is religion?

Religion is a big pot, and anything can be thrown into it.

Or simply, two words, desire.

Religion is everywhere filled with the unsatisfied desires of human beings.

Desire is neither good nor bad, it is just a neutral word.

When the first human beings could not fly, then gods could fly to the sky and escape to the earth. In later generations, what gods can fly? Even if there are no airplanes, paragliding can satisfy human beings' desire to fly. So do religions still boast that gods can fly? There is also something like being clairvoyant and having an ear for the wind. Will people in future generations be interested? Give me a WIFI password, and I can pry open your camera and broadcast live! Do you still need to express your envy for being clairvoyant and having good ears?

I long for truth, goodness and beauty because I am surrounded by ugliness and dirt most of the time. I long for immortality because life in this world is short and painful. I long for omnipotence because there are too many things that I cannot do...

So no matter what religion it is, except for some extreme ones, most of them are good and encourage good deeds. However, those in charge of religious doctrines are also human beings. Therefore, most of the time, what religion shows is not divinity, but human heart.

"It's enough if it's acceptable..." Fei Qian said with a smile, indicating that he actually didn't have high requirements for Qiao Bing.

Therefore, Fei Qian only needs to be able to make something in general. It does not require how good it must be. He only needs to let the nobles know that here, there is the Red Emperor Palace, the Five Gods, and a large number of gods. Someone who can take their place in the fields...

When are bows and arrows most threatening?

Is it on the bow or after shooting?

Fei Qian has a bachelor's degree in agriculture and a bachelor's degree in engineering, but even if he is recruited and trained year after year, it does not mean that it can be like a game. If the resources are enough, click the mouse, and then with a bang, these people can wear small skirts. Waving a magic wand represents the moon, and it still takes a certain amount of time to learn and grow, so naturally there is a shortage of people to a certain extent. Feiqian's current bachelor's degree in engineering and bachelor's degree in agriculture can only generally cover counties, and even more remote villages and counties are not yet available.

Under such conditions, the advantages of religion can be brought into play.

If you want to move mountains, you either have to do it with your hands like a foolish old man, or you can just move your feet...

The most important thing for the gentry to control a place is monopoly, and this monopoly includes the monopoly of information. When the farmers in the fields only know everything the nobles want to tell them, and all the information is arranged and pushed out by the nobles, then no matter how much Fei Qian does, the mountains are still there and will not move. .

It's like the "Law of Loans". When a law comes out, the biggest problem is that the people don't know it, or they don't know it clearly or vaguely.

Just like many policies in later generations, they were obviously good, but turned out to be bad policies. To take a chestnut to eat, for example, the ** or ** that are often seen make many people shout that the mythical beast swallows the word and the policy is fatuous. However, in fact, the court only controls the direction, and in the specific It is the operators who do the work. These operators can easily act like a green shoot, refusing to lend money that should be lent, but forcing them to lend money that shouldn't be lent, thereby arousing the resentment of the people, and then letting it go and showing off their hands to show that they are also in harmony with the situation. The common people are equally innocent and are victims, directing these public grievances to the upper levels. Looking at the root cause, if it is just laziness, trying to save trouble, and doing one size fits all, then it is just a matter of malfeasance, but what if there is an ulterior motive?

Therefore, when information is monopolized by the gentry, it is necessary to find another way to obtain information, and Bachelor of Agriculture and Bachelor of Engineering obviously do not have enough coverage, so Fei Qian's best choice at the moment is to use religion.

Religion has things that inherently attract people, such as road shows, er, wrong, Dharma conferences. In the Han Dynasty, when there was a lack of entertainment, every Dharma conference and ashram would attract a large number of people. At the same time, the common people will also take the initiative to seek religious advice, whether it is to seek psychological comfort or to talk about their pain. In this process, they will have the opportunity to obtain some information that they were originally deceived by the nobles.

From this perspective, this is Fei Qian's "argument" that he wants to merge.

In addition, religion can also be used to appease the people's emotions and show that there is no need to panic in times of natural disasters. Just like the wealthy nobles habitually push the shit basin upwards, in fact, Fei Qian can also push it downwards...

Just look at the Yellow Turbans to see how terrifying the incitement of religion can be. So if the label of "being rich and being unkind and poisoning the countryside" to the point of causing natural disasters is slapped on the heads of those disobedient nobles...

It's a double-edged sword originally, it just depends on how you use it.

Pang Tong tilted his head and said, "What if someone really breaks the law after this is implemented... What will happen?" 』

Fei Qian was silent for a while and said: "...If there is really a violation of the law... I hope that the people will sue themselves instead of Supervisor Zhiyin..."

"People sue themselves? Pang Tong frowned and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

Fei Qian nodded slightly.

Indeed.

Can every messenger wearing brocade clothes represent justice? Obviously it is impossible, but as long as there is an unjust envoy in brocade clothes, it will cause thousands of people to be affected. When the first common people who try to express their opinions are knocked down, the emissaries in brocade clothes collude with the local nobles and become treacherous. It seems that what is being exchanged for is a long period of silence among the people, and this silence may be maintained for a while, but eventually one day it will be unable to be suppressed and it will break out, just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion...

Religion is more or less a channel for grievances. Although it is difficult for the people to make self-reports, if even this avenue for people to grievances is closed, then who else will the people believe, and what hope will they have for the Han Dynasty?

Things have two sides, and people have many sides.

"This is also a "test"..." Fei Qian said slowly, with deep eyes, "Try the local nobles and the common people..."

"People?" Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, then repeated, "People?" 』

Fei Qian nodded, and then sighed slightly, "Without this matter, how can the people know what is right and wrong?" The water that rises does not flow into Chu. The final brothers, Weiyu and his daughter..."

Pang Tong understood, nodded and said: "My lord is very worried, I understand..."

Fei Qian smiled, glanced at Pang Yi, and said nothing. Yes, you understand, but there are still some things that you may not understand.

For the refugees in Guanzhong and the North, there is no doubt that Fei Qian is trustworthy in their hearts. This is also a basis for Fei Qian's current governance, but what about the people in other places? They have not left their villages and counties for decades, or even for three or four generations. How can these people have any sense of belonging or trust in Fei Qian?

Therefore, breaking the gentry's information monopoly and refreshing the common people's understanding of Fei Qian is also a very critical issue.

Natural disasters are large-scale and widely affect the land of China, and the laws of lending that come with natural disasters will naturally have a greater impact than any previous laws...

Although this law seems useless on the surface, it is actually a handle and a lever.

The strong wind howled by, pulling the flag on the tall flagpole in the front yard to crackle.

There is another very important aspect of this matter that Fei Qian did not mention to Pang Tong or anyone else.

Just like no one can wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, what if some people feel that their current life is not painful? So when Fei Qian or others tell these people that you have better choices, is it useful?

it's useless.

It's like everyone needs to learn and grow, but when you advise those middle-aged kids to learn, grow, acquire knowledge, acquire expertise, etc., then the middle-aged kids will immediately turn their backs and say hello, I'm happy with that. One word, this one word for a lifetime! Anyone who dares to stop me from having fun will be hacked to death!

Fei Qian made swords and guns and handed them into the hands of the people. The people must also be able to use them! The great pioneer Comrade Wang has used his head to tell Fei Qian that in the Han Dynasty, at many times, many people were "not what you think, but what I think"...

If Fei Qian wants to push the wheel of history, he cannot do it alone. More people must work together to push it, just like Pang Tong, like Zhuge Liang, and just like those who Fei Qian is currently enjoying. Tian led the military households and civilian households, but this is not enough, more people are needed!

Besides those who are already on the bus, who else is willing to get on the bus?

Give it a try...

Fei Qian held his head with one hand and smiled.

Moreover, there are no other uses...
