Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2471 Vase and Pearl

Confucian culture has done a lot of damage to China, but equally, its contribution to Chinese civilization cannot be denied.

Master Kong was not rigid. He was strong when he needed to be strong, and he was honest when faced with swords and guns. But he was also timid when he needed to be timid. When faced with a bully, he just laughed it off. You and I are right.

On the one hand, Mencius strictly distinguished the class status of the rulers and the ruled, believing that "those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others." On the other hand, he believed that rulers must implement benevolent governance, otherwise problems will arise in their governance.

There are also people like Xunzi, who was evil in nature, who can see the dialectical thinking contained in his theory, which divides affairs into two, does not favor a certain aspect, and does not go to extremes.

In the early days of Confucianism, most people knew and practiced moderation without going to extremes, and understood the importance of "degree". However, in the later period, after the Confucian family became the dominant one and there were no external competitors, involution emerged. Party strife began to lead to extremism, and the restriction of thoughts reached its peak. Instead, it became a shackle on Chinese civilization.

Finally it was smashed open.

All were lost without mercy.

After losing it, it seems to be relaxed, and then it becomes easy to drift away. Looking back, I found that some of those shackles were actually made of real gold. Why were they discarded? Can't it be melted and reused?

That gold is "benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust". After that, after there is no moral restraint at all, there is really no need to pay attention to it. It is only about profit. It is not shameful to steal, but proud to cheat. Everything is about money, and the poor are not smiling. Prostitution.

Only when you have a certain limit in your heart will you not cross the line.

This degree also applies to Zhen Mi and related burly women.

Fei Qian believed that as long as he showed a little bit of his intentions, many people would send the woman in front of him in vain just like Zhen Mi was sent to Cao Cao and Cao Pi in history...

It's like Jia Xu sent Yami to the Hussar Mansion.

For Jia Xu and others, Yami is more like a symbol than a person. .

Even if Fei Qian's soul comes from later generations, he has to admit that Yami's abilities can be replaced, and the value of everything that can be replaced, whether it is people or things, will not be much higher.

Therefore, if Yami wants to gain respect, she must show her own value in a limited space and time, otherwise she will be like the labor force who entered the factory in later generations and become a member of the Feiqian political group and even the entire Han society. The humble screw.

Human desire is both the most powerful and the humblest. When Fei Qian was in the future, he often saw news about young people dying suddenly, especially those who died of intense labor in a factory. Sometimes he would think about whether to give these young people who were diverted from the high school entrance examination another chance. Can they go back to before the high school entrance examination? Will these young people who failed in the examination work hard to change their destiny?

Maybe, maybe still not.

Because there must be people who regret their lack of effort during the day every night, and then fall asleep. When they wake up, how many people will remember what they regretted yesterday?

If you work hard, you may get rewards; if you don't work hard, there will definitely be no rewards.

Now, Fei Qian was happy to see Zhen Mi's efforts instead of just lying down and letting others do what he wanted.

When people can overcome their desires, they are great; when they are ravaged by desires, they are humble. Everyone has the desire to possess things or people, just like there are many things in the supermarket, all of them are good and can be used, so is it reasonable to exercise possession?

Fei Qian doesn't know whether Zhen Mi in history wanted to work hard, because the records in the history books are contradictory and brief, which must be very popular among readers who spend all day crying for water.

Zhen Mi's whole body seemed to be glowing under the sunlight.

Even from the perspective of Fei Qian, who has seen many beauties in later generations, Zhen Mi's appearance is really very beautiful, but it is not the kind of simple and soul-stirring coquettishness, but has a slight elegance and euphemism. If you want to Find a plain and appropriate adjective, it is pure.

Especially the makeup, which is just right, not only highlights its characteristics, but is not as exaggerated as some makeup that makes people speechless, especially some so-called makeup, which is really not a face, just a shave. .

Zhen Mi applied pink and white lightly without covering her skin. There is a small eyebrow flower on her smooth forehead, which complements the straight bridge of her nose. Her eyes are clear in black and white, and her red lips and white teeth are just right.

Beauty may be given innately, but the wisdom behind beauty is the wealth accumulated the day after tomorrow.

"Public women can serve the general, establish business rules, add new order, promote female officials, and create a new government!" ” Zhen Mi said firmly, her voice was clear and crisp, like pearls falling on a jade plate, her eyes showed determination, “A civilian girl was born in Jizhou, and she knows the customs of ladies in Shandong! You can make suggestions for the general's new policy and do your best! 』

Hearing this, Fei Qian couldn't help but secretly praise her in her heart. She is indeed a thoughtful woman!

This is a little interesting.

Just like ordinary farmers would think that the emperor was plowing the fields with a golden hoe in the palace, many people thought that the superiors had sperm in their heads and were looking for women to vent their feelings all the time. In fact, for rulers, the most important thing is not wealth. and beauty, but authority.

As long as you have power, what kind of wealth and beauty can you not have?

After the relationship is reversed, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?

What Zhen Mi said happened to fit into Fei Qian's long-standing plan!

For the current Chinese civilization of the Han Dynasty, in order to make it have strong outward aggression, it is necessary to refer to some cultural invasion methods of later generations. Among these methods, cultural erosion with women and children as the main target is undoubtedly capable. Extremely lethal.

If a civilization wants to have a strong outward expansion and annex weak cultures, it must be strengthened in two aspects. On the one hand, it is the invasion of customs and habits, and on the other hand, it is the annexation of spiritual ideas.

In terms of customs and habits, what is needed is simplicity and tolerance. The simpler, the more tolerant, and the more effective it is. If it is simple but not tolerant, it is easy to cause conflicts, just like the braids of the Qing Dynasty. Leave the hair but not the head. It is simple enough. ? However, it failed to integrate well with the original customs of China, which led to large-scale conflicts. If Kang Mazi had not reversed the policy direction and intentionally reconciled the conflicts, the Manchu rule would not have continued.

Cultural power that is inclusive but not simple cannot arouse imitation on a large scale, and the effect is also not good, such as Zheng He's voyages to the West. Zheng He did not make many mandatory changes to any political system or organizational structure in Nanyang. In addition to lamenting the power of the Ming Dynasty and quickly making some tributes, those countries in Nanyang did not form a strong way for the spread of Ming culture. The erosion of these weak cultures eventually allowed these countries in Southeast Asia to form some of their own cultural characteristics.

These ideas may have some imperfections or some errors, but at least the direction is generally correct, and their correctness was also reflected in the education process of the Southern Xiongnu. The Gods of the Five Directions do not reject the shamans of the Southern Huns. The simple and easy-to-implement Han customs and habits are slowly replacing the original Huns’ living habits. These actions are reflected in the concrete life of the people, and they are all very gentle. , there is no compulsion, only inducement...

For example, if you wear Hanfu, you will be praised, if you speak Chinese, you will be praised, and if you speak Chinese, you will be recognized. Even if you watch a short video advertisement, you can get rewarded tokens. Well, it's a joke. That's probably what it means. This method of getting extra benefits by just changing habits and customs is far better than the method of forced transformation and beheading if not shaving, and it is also easier for these nomads to accept.

But at those higher levels of civilization, it is cruel killing and replacement.

All Chinese, philosophy, mathematics and other pearls based on civilization and culture will be annihilated without mercy. For example, the education carried out by the Japanese in a certain place in later generations, as well as the cultural plunder and indoctrination model of the beautiful country, are all signs of the rise of culture in the other side, and they will do everything possible to eliminate them...

Therefore, Fei Qian wants to make the strategic layout of Chinese culture's outward expansion in this era, and the role of women is very powerful...

This is not to say that women of other ethnic groups were robbed by violent means like nomads, but in a softer way, such as something similar to that of later generations...

Yami is such a symbol.

A completely new experiment.

What Fei Qian didn't expect was that Zhen Mi seemed to have vaguely touched Fei Qian's vital points hidden under his gorgeous robe.

Fei Qian smiled, as if treating a formal official, and extended his hand to invite Zhen Mi, "Come here!" Get another brocade mat! Madam Zhen, please take a seat! Serve tea! 』

Very good, worth talking about in detail…

If you are just a vase, you will only get a place to put it, but if you are a pearl, you are naturally worthy of being inlaid in the crown!

……(*≧∪≦)……

As the Great Lecture at Qinglong Temple approaches, many people travel thousands of miles to Chang'an in an attempt to get a share of this cultural festival.

When Guan Ning arrived at Lu Yu's temporary residence on the edge of the Wei River, he looked at this small courtyard. Although it was not a multi-progressive courtyard, seeing its exquisite tiles and carved beams and painted buildings, Guan Ning couldn't help but admire: "What a magnificent house." . 』

It's not that Guan Ning is ignorant. Over the years, Guan Ning has traveled around the world, not only to Chang'an, but also to Xu County in Yecheng. But this is Chang'an after all. Under Fei Qian's governance, some details This thing inadvertently showed the majestic courage of the big man.

Chang'an was originally the capital of the Han Dynasty, and it was very prosperous for a while. The young men from the Five Tombs, the light chariots and the fragrant horses, once led the fashion of the times. These architectural systems around Chang'an also inherited the style of the past, but were later ruined due to the war. , and then changed his style again at the moment.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "You'an can see the beauty of this place, but not its preciousness!" Fortunately, thanks to my late father's reputation, I was able to rent this courtyard at half the price. Otherwise, I would not have dared to live here for a long time even if I had a huge family fortune. 』

Guan Ning and Lu Yu were very familiar with each other, they were sitting hand in hand with each other, "Oh?" How much does this kind of courtyard cost? 』

"One hundred thousand." Lu Yu said with a smile.

Guan Ning took his long beard out of his arms and stroked it out, "It's not very expensive..."

"This is rent. ” Lu Yu gasped and said the rest of the sentence, “For Xian Yan’s sake, renting someone at a low price costs 40,000...” The reputation of a noble disciple can not only be used for discounts, but also exempt from the death penalty. There is nothing unusual in Dahan. Lu Yu didn't take advantage of others for nothing, this could be considered a mutual benefit to a certain extent. Of course, without Wang Chang's slight appearance and help, Lu Zhi's name, which has been dead for a long time, may not be worth so much money.

Guan Ning obviously didn't expect the price to be so high. His hands shook and he almost pulled off a few beards, which made him tremble in pain.

You must know that the annual salary of a hundred shi is calculated based on the average price of rice among the Han Dynasty. The annual salary of a small official with a hundred shi is about 40,000 to 50,000. This small courtyard is almost the entire income of an ordinary low-level Han official!

And it’s still half price. If the rent is full price, two working people, uh, two small officials with hundreds of dollars may not be able to rent it!

From this perspective, there seems to be a feeling that China’s fine traditions are inherited in one continuous line...

"Why is it so expensive?" ! ” Guan Ning couldn’t believe it.

After all, in other places, even in Yecheng, a courtyard only ranges from 200,000 to 500,000 depending on the area. As for the courtyards of powerful families, they cannot be measured by ordinary prices. .

Lu Yu smiled, shook his head, and sighed, "And this place is only for rent, not for sale!" Now that the big talk in Qinglong Temple is approaching, if it hadn't been... I'm afraid it would be hard to even find a place to stay. 』

Guan Ning also sighed with emotion.

What Lu Yu said is indeed the truth.

With the increase in the migrant population, rent prices in the Chang'an area, including the Wuling area, have been rising. People like Lu Yu can have a small courtyard and it is close to the Weishui River. It is considered to be very convenient in terms of scenery and transportation. , is even more popular. Guan Ning also couldn't find her around Chang'an, so he shamelessly asked Lu Yu to live with him.

After the two sat down, they chatted for a while, and it was almost dinner time.

Lu Yu had asked people to prepare some dishes and drinks early, and now he asked people to light candles and then serve them all.

Soon, large and small bean dishes were placed on the table, with pots and urchins laid on them. Some fruits and vegetables were placed on the lacquer plates, and wine was boiling in the clay stove beside it.

"Isn't this drink considered illegal? ” Guan Ning asked.

Lu Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "Did Youan forget that the celebration of General Hussar is coming?" Even if there is no celebration ceremony, Chang'an Sanfu has never banned alcohol. 』

Guan Ning raised his eyebrows, "Never banned alcohol?" 』

Guan Ning didn't know the situation in Jiangdong very well, but he knew that alcohol was prohibited on Cao Cao's territory, at least according to the official decree.

Then, do these bans really apply to everyone?

Obviously not. Under Cao Cao's rule, those who could drink alcohol did not care about the bans. On the contrary, it was rare to have a sip all year round, and they were made to feel ecstatic by one or another ban.

At the same time, alcohol is not prohibited, which means that the so-called remarks and expectations of the Shandong nobles who have always believed that the three assistants in Guanzhong are short of food and grass are all false!

Both Lu Yu and Guan Ning knew what this meant.

The two of them were silent for a while.

After a while, Guan Ning spoke again and asked Lu Yu about the shocking incident before.

Although Lu Yu tried his best to act as indifferent to the matter of life and death, but how many times can he actually experience life and death in his life? Is it possible that I really just don't care? Therefore, when Lu Yu started talking about it now, some details were still clearly remembered.

Unconsciously, Lu Yu was immersed in his own story. After more and more details were recalled, he suddenly realized a problem, that is, why those people held weapons and why they were in Chang'an City. It seemed that The cavalry general Fei Qian did not explain in detail, but simply issued a notice about traitors causing trouble.

Is there anything strange about this?

This sudden thought caused Lu Yu to pause unconsciously during the narration process, and then he pondered and remained silent for a while.

Although Guan Ning didn't quite understand why Lu Yu stopped suddenly, he could guess from Lu Yu's expression that Lu Yu was thinking about something, so he naturally shut up and didn't disturb him.

In fact, this kind of sudden thinking often occurs among literati. For example, Guan Ning once had a few times. In the middle of speaking, he suddenly had an idea and thought of half of a poem he had written before, which was also like Lu Yu was so normal at the moment, even leaving his friends behind and rushing to find pen and ink...

"...could these traitors be..." Lu Yu suddenly stared at Guan Ning, "Is that why Hussar never mentioned where he came from?" 』

"ah? ” Guan Ning was a little stunned at first, and then when he realized it, his expression changed slightly, “Isn’t it? Da...should not be so cruel..."

"If not him, who would it be?" Lu Yu said, "Seeing this great talk in Qinglong Temple... I'm afraid... I'm afraid that many people will be restless?" 』

"This..." Guan Ning fell silent. He did not dare to guarantee that this incident must be related to some people or not. After all, Lu Yu was the person involved, and he had just arrived in Tongguan when this incident happened. , I don’t know the specific story at all.

But the more Lu Yu thought about it, the more he felt it was a possibility.

After all, suspicion is just a thing if it doesn't exist. Once it surges up in the heart, it is difficult to get rid of it. Just like the suspicion of a neighbor, Lu Yu feels that this matter must be related to Cao Cao or the gang in Shandong. People cannot be separated from each other, and these people behaved like this, especially when Lu Yu, as a representative, went to check out the injured and whimpering children from poor families in the Baiyi Medical Center. For some reason, Lu Yu suddenly felt a surge of emotion in his heart. A ball of anger...

"Many people in Shandong are raising dead soldiers and colluding with knights..." Lu Yu said in a deep voice, "Now that we see the prosperity of Qinglong Temple in Chang'an, Shandong has lost its commentaries. How can we tolerate it?" It’s impossible to say that such people...are not originally targeting us, it just happened to happen..."

After Guan Ning heard this, he had no words to refute. Because what Lu Yu said is also true.

Nowadays, the cultural peak of the Han Dynasty has gradually moved from Shandong to Shanxi. When it comes to Sanfu in Guanzhong, it is like attracting Lu Yuguan Ning and others. It gradually attracts all kinds of talents from the Han Dynasty to come together. As the original culture How can people from Shandong, the "Holy Land" and the "Xianxiang of Confucius and Mencius", be able to swallow this mouthful of foam?

The two of them fell silent again, feeling a little sad for a moment.

This feeling is like a high-end casing and camera, but the result is a low-end chip and memory, which makes people feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Suddenly, one of Lu Yu's followers came from outside the courtyard and hesitated slightly when he arrived in front of the hall.

"It doesn't matter, You An has nothing to say without saying anything now..." Lu Yu said, waving his hand.

"yes. ” The attendant responded, and then showed some very complicated expressions on his face, “ Sir Qi... the city is in chaos again... ”

"Um? 』

"It is said that several Shandong disciples had an argument with someone at the Hundred Medical Center, and then they started fighting..."

"ah? 』
