Three Kingdoms

For a moment, Fei Qian was in a daze, thinking that his ears had heard wrongly, but Pang Tong in front of him said seriously: "My lord did say that." 』

Did I say that?

The green smoke lingering in the hall seems to be lingering inside, unwilling to travel far.

A few birds chirped for a while on the treetops outside the hall, then tilted their heads and looked at the people in the hall, seeming to wonder why they didn't come to bask in the sun on the trees and had to hide in strange holes. ?

After a while, the bird seemed to have lost interest in continuing to study, kicked off its feet, and flew away.

Fei Qian's eyes retracted and fell on Pang Tong. Seeing Pang Yi's serious look, Fei Qian frowned slightly.

Although Fei Qian believes that he is indeed inferior to Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others in terms of intelligence in some aspects, he does not say that he will be too old to remember things now...

"When did someone say such words?" Fei Qian asked.

This isn’t about forcing girls into prostitution, bah, it’s about forcing them to breed, uh, that’s what it is anyway…

Anyone feels uncomfortable when they're being coerced, even if it's to get Feiqian on a boat with someone.

Enjoy... um, emperor treatment in advance?

The emperor’s family affairs are also the world’s affairs?

Or should I say that from now on, I have to hurry up and enter the process of breeding humanoid pigs?

When Fei Qian was young, he used to think that the emperor's harem was very good. He could push it wherever he went. When he was in the garden, when making the bed, or even when listening to songs, he could knock down a beauty anytime and anywhere. My dear, then hey hey hey.

But is it actually...

Why is it said that the Tian family is poor? In fact, it is not that those who became emperors are poor, but that in the process of growing up, these princes lost the emotions they should have had.

But there are exceptions. After all, there have indeed been some emperors in history who valued love and justice.

Fei Qian remembered that there was a saying in later generations, which said that when a woman becomes pregnant and the first fetal movement occurs, motherhood is naturally produced, and it will accumulate over time and the child's movements, while men often do not. So soon, usually when you hold your child for the first time outside the delivery room, you will feel the weight of the father's position.

This sentence may or may not make sense, but it also illustrates a problem, that is, there are obvious differences in the emotional systems of men and women. This does not mean that the weight of so-called "love" is lighter than that of others, but that the weight of love is heavier. Differences caused by differences in human physiological structure.

The emperor faced many women in the harem. Under such circumstances, the emperor would not participate in the affairs of the harem most of the time. Therefore, it was easy for women to kill each other like insects in the harem. The favored one, or the strong one, willfully bullies the weak one, and then the weak ones will band together and deliberately try to kill the strongest one. As long as the emperor shows a little bit of disgust, countless people will fall into trouble and try their best to make themselves the favored ones. Chong's next successor, such as Zhen Mi in history, might be killed in such a concentrated fire. .

How could a prince or princess who grew up in such an environment have a healthy psychology? For example, in families with domestic violence in later generations, a child may see his mother being beaten and killed at any time. He or she will live under frightening pressure every day. When he or she grows up, Do you have a healthy outlook on life? It's already pretty good without forming a vindictive social personality.

Fei Qian boasted that he had done a good job in educating his children. At least he could ensure that Feizhen would not be like Cao Pi who stabbed his brothers and sisters as soon as he came to power.

But the problem is that it seems that Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others do not think this is a safe way.

So we should have fewer children and more trees, uh, have more children to contribute to the country?

A very strange feeling suddenly appeared in Fei Qian's heart, which was difficult to describe.

With this indescribable complex mood, Fei Qian said to Pang Tong seriously: "Please tell me in detail..."

Pang Yi said with a serious face: "Master Mingjian." Now that the surrounding areas are peaceful, the Qiang, Di and Zhi people are all crouching in front of them. However, they are more afraid of swords, spears and soldiers than sincerely admiring and obeying the Chinese. If there is a little carelessness and the officials are slack, it will be repeated. 』

Fei Qian nodded.

What Pang Tong said was correct.

Most of China and its surrounding good neighbors are in this situation. When China is strong, the surrounding neighbors are easy to talk to and very humble. But when China enters a period of weakness, these neighbors will happily come to China. The autumn breeze blows here.

Temporary peace cannot represent lifelong stability. The use of force can ensure that there is no resistance in a short period of time, but only the use of culture can ensure stability in the long term.

"My lord once said that in order to eliminate this disadvantage, the first step is to expand the country, and the second step is to educate. ” Pang Tong continued, “Both measures should be taken together, and one cannot be missing without the other. 』

Fei Qian nodded again.

This is what Fei Qian said before.

Carrots and sticks are always the best combination.

But what does this have to do with Qiang women?

And what does it have to do with the so-called "marriage" strategy?

Perhaps because he saw Fei Qian's doubts, Pang Tong said calmly: "The reason why the Qiang people, and even the Hu people, are evil is that they use force and animal husbandry..."

Oh, Fei Qian nodded.

Understood.

This is to prepare to chop off two, um, three legs of the barbarian.

"Is this what Wen He meant?" Fei Qian asked.

Pang Tong smiled and said, "If we look at Liangzhou in the Western Regions, Wen He is the best..."

Fei Qian also smiled.

This was something he didn't expect.

Barbarism may temporarily defeat civilization, but in the end it will be pushed to the ground by civilization and trained to be submissive.

Human beings have come all the way from apes. Well, this may be doubtful, but starting from Homo sapiens, human beings have gradually become the masters of all living things on the earth, standing at the top of the biological chain, not by physical tyranny, but also by It is not the result of personal heroism.

Many creatures that were individually stronger than humans, and even creatures that could easily crush humans with just their bodies, eventually either died out or became human prey...

What enables humans to stand at the top of the biological chain?

In addition to teamwork, there is another point, which is more important, that is, human beings know how to think, can accumulate experience, and can sum up in frustrations and pass it on from generation to generation.

Simply put, human beings know how to understand objective laws and use them to deal with the world.

From the first stone that was ground into a blade, to the use of metal smelting, to steam pushing the piston, and drilling to pump out oil, human beings have never stopped conquering the world.

Stopping means falling behind, and falling behind means getting beaten.

The big man has suffered losses and beatings from the surrounding Hu tribe before, but he has also beaten them. However, he has never had a relatively unified strategy. He always fights and makes peace, and the fighting stops until Fei Qian arrives. At the moment, specific ideas were put forward, and the results were seen on the Southern Xiongnu, which enabled the brains of the Han Dynasty to discover a new direction.

From this point of view, just as Han people need to bring a large amount of dowry for their marriage, the Qiang people's marriage must also bring a lot of dowry, and among these dowries, there is a lot of money added by the Hu people in animal husbandry. Technology points.

The Han Dynasty itself had a policy of raising horses, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was too eager at the time, which caused many side effects, so he did not continue to implement it later...

So, from this aspect, it is indeed an opportunity.

For these neighboring good neighbors of China, integrating them into the unified category of Chinese civilization is undoubtedly the best solution. You must not have any simple thoughts of stopping now if it is good, or a mindset of simply giving up if you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved for the time being.

Countless repetitions and twists and turns in history have proven that human beings are social and collective in nature. Single clan and extreme populism will cause greater harm. Blind xenophobia and stagnant development will eventually be taken advantage of by neighbors. Swords, guns and artillery smashed open the door.

Now that Fei Qian has the experience and lessons of later generations, he naturally wants to teach these things to Pang Tong and other people, so that these, the most top-level intelligent brains of the contemporary era, can pass on these blood-stained experiences and lessons to the next generation. Go down. But what Fei Qian didn't expect was that Pang Tong and others used Fei Qian's theories to deduce a strategy similar to "marriage"...

"The Han suffered from the Xiongnu, so it was not wrong to drive them from the north, plunder their cattle and sheep, and kill their descendants... However, now that the Xiongnu have declined, they are divided into the north and the south, and their power is small and weak. They are still as vicious as Xiaowu. Huh? Pang Tong raised his hands to Fei Qiangong and said, "Nowadays, Chinese scholars often behave like despicable people. They are not all harmed by the barbarians, and they have no contact with them. They are just following what others say, and they are afraid that they are not right." This is a great disadvantage to education. 』

"So now it is better to accept his daughter, which can weaken his body and increase the number of male heirs. Why not be happy to do so?" Pang Tong looked at Fei Qian and said sincerely, "If the lord accepts Qiang women and does not consider them evil, then the Han people will also accept Qiang women!" Firstly, it can win the hearts of the people in Liangzhou, quickly achieve peace, win over public opinion, and benefit the local area; secondly, it can reduce their manpower, collect their cattle and sheep, and make Qiang women proud of marrying Han people. Over time, their clan will decline and become chaotic. ...』

"This is the policy of making peace." He was the first to be harmonious, to be close to those who followed, to accept his daughters, to weaken his people, to induce his talented people to return to the Han family, to practice Chinese rites, to speak the Chinese language, and to educate them all down to the third and fifth generations. 』

Fei Qian took a breath, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Praise Pang Tong?

Or blame him?

Isn't this a replica of the behavioral strategy of a certain lighthouse in later generations?

Use various means, including but not limited to well-known soft-text novels, self-media short videos, etc., to package the brightness and beauty of the lighthouse from multiple angles and directions, and then make young men and women in a certain country proud of being charming and proud of licking the lighthouse. , sweet air, free atmosphere, it is not just sex that is open and collapsed, but also the soul and three views, and even its descendants.

Could it be that the Pang Tong in front of me, this fat and dark-faced boy, is actually a time traveler?

"Lord?" Pang Tong raised his eyebrows and shook his chin.

Like a fat black cat winking.

"speak English. Fei Qian glanced at Pang Yi and said, "Besides the above, is there anything else you haven't said?" 』

"Uh... my lord is wise..." Pang Tongba smacked his lips, then glanced at Fei Qian and said, "What is good from above must be followed by below." 』

Fei Qian pondered for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, "You mean...well...this is somewhat interesting..."

Pang Tong chuckled, like a weasel that stole a chicken.

Fei Qian tilted his head, not wanting to look at Pang Tong's face.

What Pang Tong proposed is to take advantage of Fei Qian...

But the problem is that Fei Qian can't get angry yet, because this is a problem that Fei Qian cannot avoid.

Does it work? Just like in later generations, water cups were used on stage, and water cups were used off stage. Later, thermos cups were used on stage, and the production of thermos cups immediately increased greatly. Even when wearing clothes, glasses, and so on, the officials below always looked up to them. I look at my boss with my head in an attempt to be on par with him in all aspects.

This even includes taking wives and concubines.

If Feiqianna marries a daughter of a noble family, then the following people must imitate his example.

For example, at the moment, it is said that many people from Huang Chengyan's side are asking vaguely if they have any daughters, they can do it, or even granddaughters...

This phenomenon became very interesting during the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps it was because certain families had produced queens, so the entire Shilin community was proud to marry the daughters of these families, even if someone became a first-class official. He was a member of the Communist Party of China, one person was less than ten thousand people, and his power was overwhelming. When he was dying, he even considered it a lifelong regret that he could not marry a daughter of such a family.

The key is that this has been spread and become a good talk!

Does it count as a price for setting off the women of these families?

Fei Qian complained secretly.

To a certain extent, this kind of behavior of noble men and noble women, and diaosi men and diaosi women, can be called "well-matched". This was originally a "hidden rule" stipulated by class rule. The original intention of this "well-matched match" was not to allow men and women to collaborate and understand each other, but to maintain class rule and maintain the bloodline of the family, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The nobles of the period did not intermarry with the poor.

But history has proven that the more one maintains his bloodline, the more he will degenerate.

Fei Qian knew this, and he even knew that at a certain stage in the West, in order to maintain the purity of blood, he even fell into an obsession. A certain royal family with a famous big chin, even because he maintained the so-called pure bloodline, the bloodline was pure, but in the end he got a huge chin, a series of family hereditary diseases, and an unparalleled result.

The gentry and clans developed from the Han Dynasty to the peak of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, to a certain extent, history has proved that even with the so-called norms of human relations and etiquette, there are still some people with low intelligence who risk great disgrace. What kind of pure bloodline...

However, this trend of thinking about being well-matched not only affects the political upper class, but also affects the people.

Of course, being well-matched is correct in some aspects. For example, men and women must have a certain "well-matched" relationship, such as values, outlook on life, and even attitudes toward life and household chores. Only then can they live a harmonious life. Together, otherwise it would probably be a very painful thing.

However, this "well-matched" is not the only prerequisite for marriage, nor is it the most important one.

The reason why marriage is established is that the man and woman on both sides first realize that they want to form a new family with another person!

We must bear the ups and downs together, face difficulties together, support the elderly at the top, raise the children at the bottom, and protect the family and walk hand in hand in the middle. This is the most important prerequisite for marriage. If both parties do not understand this prerequisite for marriage, they often end up in trouble. All kinds of problems and disputes will arise after marriage, even if men and women have so-called "matched" family assets before marriage.

"Then..." Fei Qian looked down at Pang Tong and frowned slightly, "How many Qiang girls do I still have to promote?" Do you want to find a Qiang girl for you? 』

Pang Tong said solemnly: "It is your duty to share the Lord's worries!" ” Then he added, “That’s why the gentry passed down scriptures to their families... wouldn’t it be beautiful if it was about agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry? 』

Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing.

The law of development of human society is naturally to seek a better life. This is human instinct, so human beings are born with the need to keep moving forward. What's more, as long as China holds the torch high, it will be like a beacon for future generations, and people from all over the country will naturally flock to it like moths.

Some time ago, weren't there several wealthy businessmen from the Western Regions...

Therefore, for Fei Qian, what is important is to maintain the inheritance of Chinese civilization, not to maintain the purity of a person or a family's bloodline.

Including Fei Qian himself.

"Well..." Fei Qian pondered for a while, weighed it for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say..."

Pang Tong raised his eyebrows, ready to resign.

"etc. Fei Qian suddenly stopped Pang Tong and stared at him.

Pang Tong lowered his eyebrows and looked down on him.

Something seems wrong...

Although Fei Qian had no direct evidence, experience or intuition told Fei Qian that Pang Tong might have some plans in this matter that he had not revealed.

Fei Qian pinched the beard on his chin and looked at Pang Tong, "Pang Shiyuan, I think... there seems to be some unanswered questions... You are hiding it so much, um, I think... should I arrange for you to go?" Climb the Qinling Mountains..."

"Climbing the mountain again... No, no, no..." Pang Tong quickly shook his hands, and then chuckled twice, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the lord... In fact, if I didn't say it, I think the lord would have figured it out..."

Pang Tong moved forward a little, got closer to Fei Qian, and then whispered a few words.

When Fei Qian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "That's it." 』

Pang Tong nodded, retreated, and resigned again.

This time, Fei Qian didn't stop him. He looked at Pang Tong's leaving figure. After a long time, he sighed, and then laughed and cursed, "This fat black bird..."
