Three Kingdoms

After autumn, the cold wind becomes stronger and stronger.

At this moment, the most attractive thing in Chang'an, and the thing that moves faster than the cold wind, is the continuous military situation.

The military situation coming from Longyou, and the sudden rebellion in Hanzhong!

There was an uproar.

Amidst the uproar, there is another strange phenomenon...

The emerging team of Fei Qian, at least in Guanzhong, has been gradually taking shape. Those out-of-time guys have been eliminated in the forging process again and again. The ones left behind are not fools. How could they publish it easily? Any advice?

Although the Hanzhong rebellion came suddenly, and the causes and consequences are a bit confusing, no one can deny that at least so far, Fei Qian has not revealed any major flaws. To be honest, things like rebellion happened frequently during the three to four hundred years of the Han Dynasty. There are always some people who think they are awesome. There are often people who call themselves kings, emperors, sons, marshals, etc. They have to be sustained to become a phenomenon...

Those who cannot become a climate are all scum.

At the feet of successful people are always the corpses of losers.

Onlookers generally place few bets when they are unsure whether these challengers will succeed.

Ever since, a very interesting phenomenon has appeared in Guanzhong. The people are agitated, and people in the streets and alleys can't help but whisper to each other. However, in the entire officialdom of Chang'an, a strange atmosphere is maintained. Silence, no one expressed their opinion.

Humans are basically social animals. In a large environment, everyone will inevitably be influenced or even restrained by others, and Fei Qian is naturally no exception.

In later generations, Fei Qian would go to bed as late as he could and get up as late as he could. At that time, Fei Qian didn't have many people under his command. Even if it was a holiday, he would sleep until noon before getting up. No one cares or cares about it at all.

But things are different now.

The Hussar General's office routinely starts working at Mao hour. Even if Fei Qian is later, it cannot exceed Mao hour. As for the nine-to-five working system, sorry, there is no such thing. Although Fei Qian is the chief officer, in a sense no one dares to criticize him for being lazy, but Fei Qian knows that if he is lazy, the people below can be lazy for three points, and then continue to be lazy on the next level. , and then there is no more...

Of course, there were no mobile phones to scroll through in the Han Dynasty, which was also a guarantee to go to bed early and get up early. Otherwise, you would hold your phone and say you would go to bed after watching this short video. But after watching it, how many people couldn't help but scroll again to watch the next one? Then an hour and a night passed like this.

When it was almost dawn again, Fei Qian got up. After washing, he brought out the breakfast breasts.

"Hey, it's Diaohu..." Fei Qian took a look, smiled and said.

Diaohu, today's staple food, is also called wild rice.

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "It's just a new arrival in the past few days, so it's just a taste..."

Wild rice, this is also a seasonal delicacy.

In later generations, Fei Qian rarely saw this stuff, but after the Han Dynasty, he discovered that wild rice was actually a very common meal. Wild rice has been around since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and was eaten in the Tang Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, it gradually became less and less...

What goes with wild rice is naturally fish, grilled fish.

Because it is stated in "Zhou Li Tianguan": "For the appropriate meals, cattle are suitable for rice, sheep are suitable for millet, hogs are suitable for millet, dogs are suitable for beams, geese are suitable for wheat, and fish are suitable for wild rice." 』

Therefore, in the Zhou Dynasty, there was already a detailed understanding of what dishes should be paired with what rice. However, when later generations heard about the so-called red with red and white with white, they felt as if they knew some secret, and they couldn't wait to emphasize one or two things when meeting others. , in fact, it is not necessary.

When it comes to food, if China claims to be second, no one in China would dare to say that they are first...

Well, except for the sticks. That guy dares to be the first in anything.

On the side of the grilled fish, there is a plate of pickled cabbage.

Plus a bowl of meat soup.

Early preserved food is relatively simple, while late preserved food is richer.

Basically, at a level like Feiqian, you can still have fish and meat every day, and you can eat until you are full. As for the breakfast of ordinary Han nobles, they just make chestnut rice or bean rice, then add pickles, and add miso soup, and that's about it.

As for the ordinary working people, there is no serious food. They usually have wild vegetable porridge and black multi-grain pancakes, which are rough and anti-hungry.

Fei Qian was eating wild rice, and suddenly his heart moved slightly.

Huang Yueying was also eating with her. When she saw Fei Qian paused, she was stunned for a moment, "Husband...could it be that this Diaohu...is not cooked enough?" 』

Diaohu, also known as wild rice, is different from ordinary rice. Because wild rice is harder than ordinary rice, the cooking process is naturally different from ordinary rice. Not only does it need to be soaked in advance, but it also needs to be cooked for a longer time...

In later generations, wild rice was rarely seen in daily diet. Even if you don't look for it in a larger supermarket, you may not have it.

So is it because of the difficulty in cooking that wild rice was less common in later generations?

Fei Qian smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, I just thought of something..."

This cooking difficulty is not the reason why wild rice is scarce. Because Fei Qian knows that no matter how hard they work, they can't stop the Chinese people from pursuing delicious food.

So is it because wild rice is not delicious that it is abandoned by future generations? Not really.

Wild rice has high nutritional value and is edible. Although wild rice is rarely eaten as food in later generations, the history of eating wild rice can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, and it was one of the six cereals eaten by emperors.

Wild rice has high nutritional value. It is not only rich in protein, essential amino acids and fatty acids, vitamins and various trace elements, but also has 18 kinds of essential amino acids required by the human body.

The protein content of wild rice is twice that of rice, and its taste is more fragrant than ordinary rice, with the aroma of green grass.

At least Feiqian tastes better now than any other bean, rice or wheat rice. But why did wild rice gradually not appear on the dining tables of ordinary people in China in later generations?

Fei Qian finished his meal, then chatted a little with Huang Yueying, assigned Fei Zhen's homework, then went out of the backyard, found the steward, and asked some things about wild rice, and finally understood the wild rice. The reason why rice is not common in later generations.

When the wild rice is ripe, it will fall off one by one...

At the same time, wild rice is prone to diseases. Once infected, wild rice will not grow...

However, those who are infected can also eat it, but instead of eating the grown wild rice, they eat the roots of the wild rice, which is the wild rice that Fei Qian eats in the summer...

That is to say, the wild rice that grows wild rice cannot produce wild rice, and the wild rice that bears wild rice cannot grow wild rice.

pick one of two.

In this way, Fei Qian understood.

In order to harvest more wild rice, people of later generations constantly selected and cultivated wild rice that was easily infected by pathogens and grew into wild rice. However, the originally disease-free wild rice was gradually eliminated.

This is somewhat interesting...

After letting the steward go, Fei Qian pinched the beard on his chin and thought for a while.

What does this selection process and the evolution of wild rice indicate?

For an agricultural society, or even for most human societies, stability is the first priority.

Stable food sources, stable resources and minerals, stable social structure, and stable promotion channels. Once the stability is broken, the entire society will inevitably be violently shaken.

It's like the present moment.

Fei Qian walked slowly towards the meeting hall while thinking.

Stability under limited conditions is a very important thing.

Just like the old city system of Chang'an, it is undoubtedly too narrow for the huge bureaucracy designed by Fei Qian. After all, in the original city of Chang'an, several palaces and cities occupied nearly two-thirds, so it was inevitable that the Hussars General's Mansion would be difficult to expand.

So is it better to build some terraces and build some two-story or three-story houses to solve this problem, or is it more stable to open up a piece of land in the north of the city as an office space?

Obviously, the multi-story building system was the choice of later generations, and today, it is more convenient for the Han Dynasty to open up another piece of land for dedicated offices.

Of course, relocating the people from Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng to other places is also a way to reduce the excessive concentration of officials in Chang'an City. However, after they are separated in this way, the affairs of the three assistants of Chang'an will be settled by Fei Qian. One layer, sometimes some problems will inevitably occur.

Therefore, we should do corresponding things under different historical conditions. In today's officialdom, this "stability under limited conditions" is also the primary focus and difficulty faced by Fiji's current internal affairs.

For most time travellers, it seems that they can just find some famous figures in history and then become a shopkeeper. However, in the current reality of Feiqian, this is not the case.

Xun Chen, Xun You, Pang Tong, Zhuge, Sima and others have no problem if they are placed in any county. It is even said that these people have no problem even if they serve as feudal officials. But the problem is that people's livelihood and government affairs are not like in the game. , it only takes one person to operate in an area...

Feiqian needs a large number of officials to sink to the place. Just like the choice of future generations, I would rather produce a fixed quantity of wild rice that can be controlled, than get wild rice with variable quality, instability, and no guaranteed quantity.

If you look at the Sima family, from being a talented person in the first place to being a tauren in the end, you will know how poor the talent quality control mechanism was in the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty in history.

The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System is bullshit.

Before the ninth rank, the officials of the Han Dynasty had their own ceilings, but there were also ways to change their class. However, after the ninth rank, they were finished. The class was so solid that it could not be moved.

There are certain restrictions on the official career of common people and poor families. Under normal circumstances, it is not their turn to be promoted. However, the ceiling at this level can be broken through the recruitment of local supervisors and even central officials.

If according to the standards of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, those who come from aristocratic families and study classics intensively are called Qingliu, which is considered noble, and those who are from common people and are forced to only rely on law and practice to make a fortune are called Zhuoliu, which is considered lowly, then Nobility will always be considered noble. The noble and the low will always be low, and class will be crucified.

After the Han Dynasty, Jiupin became so popular and had such a far-reaching influence that many dynasties were filled with scholars of Confucian classics or literature, but few had practical ability. How could this country do well?

Although Fei Qian received some information from Shandong that showed that the current ninth-grade Zhongzheng system produced by Xun Yu and Chen Qun had undergone some improvements, Fei Qian felt that there were not many changes in fact. To cater to the requirements of the Shandong gentry, it can be regarded as a talent system developed by Hexini.

Will these guys in Shandong give up their power easily? Obviously impossible, just like these old guys in Long Youhan, they will not give up the interests in their hands easily. So what Fei Qian needs to consider now is that the "ceiling" of these officials that he finally pried open will not be put back again.

"The battle of Longyou will be decided soon." 』

Fei Qian said slowly, his voice was steady and full of confidence.

Xu Huang was transferred to Tongguan to replace Taishi Ci, while Taishi Ci led the cavalry from Guanzhong and Hedong, galloped to Longxi, and would soon arrive at the battlefield. Coupled with Lu Bu's partial army who returned from the Western Regions and Xining troops who came from the snowy area, the Qiang people in Longyou thought they had surrounded Zhangye and cut off Hexi. However, in fact, these Qiang people had been compressed in the Qilian Mountains, and the remaining Qiang people It’s up to the generals who command the front line...

In other places, Liao Hua and Zhuge Jin were stationed near Lantian Wuguan and stationed at the Guanzhong camp.

Huang Cheng guarded Shangjun in Hedong, and Li Dian was in Yinshan in the north.

Fei Qian took Xu Chu to sit in Chang'an.

The only ones with some variables are Hanzhong and Sichuan. However, as long as Longyou is pacified, the army can immediately go south to Tianshui to Yangpingguan. Once Hanzhong is pacified, Sichuan and Shu will naturally not be able to cause trouble.

"Nowadays, in Longyou Han, thieves are rampant, harming the people, causing harm to the country and the people. This is a great harm." Fei Qian said slowly, "Today there are officials from various places and local officials who are arrogant and arrogant, using the power of the country for their own selfish desires!" If they are even slightly dissatisfied, they will gather people to rebel and cause trouble to the place! Why? ! 』

Fei Qian looked around, then nodded at Sima Yi, "Zhongda, what should we do about these disadvantages?" 』

"My lord has entrusted the Zhang family with important responsibilities in Hanzhong. However, this thief is debauched and immoral and greedy for pleasure..." Sima Yi said without any politeness, "He even rebelled. He should not be pardoned and the nine tribes should be punished." 』

Fei Qian smiled and said, "It is wise to be prepared for danger in times of peace." Now that there is a lost sheep, where should we make up for it? 』

Sima Yi's eyes moved for a moment, then he lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "As governor of Zhou Mu, monopolizing power will be harmful..."

Fei Qian was noncommittal and turned to look at Wei Duan again, "What do Xiu Fu think?" 』

"This..." Wei Duan hesitated for a moment, "The matter of state pastoral care may also be harmful... However, I am stupid about the specific method, so please make it clear to me..."

Fei Qian didn't force anything, and waved his hand again and said, "If you have any opinions, you might as well speak freely!" 』

In the Western Han Dynasty, he was promoted from the governor to the governor and then back to the governor. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was promoted from the governor to the governor again. This new upgrade became an important symbol of the evolution of this political system and also the place where the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty controlled. A last ditch effort to hope, but the result is contrary to his wishes.

It was precisely because of the re-introduction of this system that the Eastern Han Dynasty court completely lost its control over local areas, which eventually led to the formation of larger, large-scale state-based groups, making the political divisions in the Eastern Han Dynasty more and more obvious. In the end, this state pastoral governor system became an important driver of the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The reason for this is that the previous changes in the history of the governor of the state before Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty were mostly changes to the name of the governor, and did not involve the transformation of the nature of the position. On the whole, they were still focused on supervision, so the previous changes had no impact on the current situation. The impact is limited.

Before Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty upgraded the state pastoral system, the main responsibility of the governor was to supervise the governor of the county and state through the "Six-Article Edict", and his counterpart was the Yushi Zhongcheng. After being transformed into a state pastor, the supervisory function was greatly weakened and the administrative power was greatly enhanced.

Especially military power.

Then, for the sake of military power, especially the guarantee of logistical supplies after commanding military power, Zhou Mu had to join forces with local powerful men, forming a more stubborn and larger local fragmented structure than the previous system of prefectures and counties. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the separatist state and county guards took advantage of the opportunity to expand their power through alliances with powerful landowners in various places, becoming local powerful factions, and ultimately ended the Han Dynasty.

If the Qiang rebellion in Longyou is still a border ethnic issue, then Zhang Ze is a typical dominant family, which eventually led to the Hanzhong rebellion driven by greed. To put it simply, it is a monopoly, and it will inevitably pursue a bigger and more monopoly, no matter what aspect this monopoly is.

The only way to solve this problem is to break the monopoly.

Suppressing Zhang Ze is not a big skill, but if you can use Zhang Ze's incident to promote something and infiltrate some ideas of later generations into the Han Dynasty, you will be worthy of traveling through time.

Therefore, what Fei Qian wants is to perform manual screening to select more stable ingredients, just like later generations treated wild rice, instead of randomly waiting for the wild rice to mature, or hoping that the wild rice will not be smut. The disease invades.

Although everyone had some discussions about this, it was obvious that it had not reached the direction Fei Qian wanted.

It is not impossible if Fei Qian comes out with his answer now, but Fei Qian feels that this answer will not be recognized by the public, because this answer is only "Fei Qian's", not "the big man's".

Therefore, when the discussion came to an end, Fei Qian said loudly: "The affairs of the world should be discussed by everyone in the world!" 』

"Zhang's sons were also praised for their filial piety and integrity. In the past, they also had many reputations for being upright. Why are they here today?" If there is a failure in the inspection of filial piety and integrity, where is the failure? If the name Fangzheng is wrong, where is the mistake? 』

"How are the counties, governors, governors, and commanders of various places in the world inspected?" How to measure the integrity? 』

"Tai Gongwang You said, "The king is a virtuous man, but a dishonest man below. He must be honest, avoid fraud, forbid violence, and stop luxury. Therefore, the king has six thieves and seven harms." However, Jiang Gong said this, and he only knows the truth. It has not been said why this is so, nor is it known why it should be so. So now we have to ask, why is this so? 』

"Special edict!" This autumn’s policy test is based on this topic! 』
