Three Kingdoms

As a migrant worker, with a working soul, if I don’t fish for a day, I feel like something is missing in my heart.

Fishing is normal, and it is impossible to avoid fishing in any era. However, after Feiqian held an enlarged meeting, many workers in the Huqi government office felt that their previous fishing state had gradually disappeared.

Especially the lower-level clerical staff would have to go to great lengths just to get all kinds of information.

In the scriptures, there is mention of education, but there is no mention of how to educate foreigners.

The Taoist Scriptures refer to the five gods, but it also does not indicate what the true scriptures are...

This requires more reading, more understanding, more thinking, and more discussion.

Although Fei Qian did not clearly state what kind of rewards there would be if someone came up with a good plan, but for most middle-level officials, they understood that this was an opportunity.

Most people fish because fishing is the most cost-effective at a certain time. It makes no difference whether you do something or not, and whether you do more or less makes no difference. Who wouldn’t take advantage of this situation?

However, when Fei Qian set up a special channel to receive everyone's opinions on the experience-seeking incident, and especially held an enlarged meeting to ask Xun You to explain the situation to everyone, Fei Qian himself emphasized again that as long as You don't have to be a fool to understand that Fei Qian attaches great importance to this matter. If you can stand out in this policy discussion, wouldn't it mean that you will directly enter Fei Qian's attention list?

So naturally no one fishes.

From a certain perspective, although these people are not consistent with what Fei Qian thought, their actions are indeed working in that direction.

The Han Dynasty is undoubtedly a dynasty that makes countless Chinese people proud.

Because the Han Dynasty was once powerful and prosperous, its pioneering spirit was unmatched by other dynasties.

Even the Tang Dynasty cannot compare.

After all, the Han Dynasty invaded the desert in the north and expanded Jiaozhi in the south. That was four hundred years earlier than the Tang Dynasty. And how much larger was the Tang Dynasty four hundred years later than the Han Dynasty? Can it travel four hundred years longer than the Han Dynasty?

Looking forward, although the Qin Dynasty completed the unification in name, it did not complete this project in the recognition of all China.

Qin Shihuang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, but the Six Kingdoms still existed. Even if their kings were gone, their people would still call themselves people of a certain country.

Only Dahan is a title recognized nationwide for the first time in Chinese history, "Han".

Even within the Han Dynasty, there are still all kinds of contradictions, all kinds of disputes, all kinds of sneaking around, and all kinds of trivial things. But whether it is internally or externally, there are so many counties and counties in China, so many different regions, They all became unified names.

"Understood! The Lord's intention is to formulate a unified foreign strategy for the Han Dynasty! 』

"What is the unified foreign strategy of the Han Dynasty?" Is it possible that the Han Dynasty’s previous foreign strategies were all wrong? 』

“How can this really be called a mistake? Anyone who offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is! 』

"What to punish?" If he fled to the ends of the earth, would he really be killed by a large army? This is totally not cost-effective! The point is to kill your heart! 』

"It's not like I have to go there..."

"Shhh!" Are you talking too much about this? 』

"Ahem, I made a mistake, I made a mistake. 』

“Really, it’s better to discuss business matters. 』

"That's right, I think so, this is preaching, it's promoting our culture as a great man, it's education that is right!" 』

"That's right, that's right!" Ah, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I overheard it next to you, and I’m so emotional. I’m speaking hastily, and I hope you’ll forgive me for the offence…”

"Is this...it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. What do you think, brother?" 』

"..."

Someone else participated, and the dispute between two people quickly became a dispute between three people, then four people, five people, and then a large group of people were expressing their opinions.

"No, no!" You are all wrong. It should be that the previous discussion of Qinglong Temple is the essence of "taking the essence and discarding the dross"! 』

"China has a vast land and rich products. What do you want?" What is the essence of foreign countries? You barbarians! 』

"You said, don't want the spice sachet on your waist, give it to me!" 』

"Uh...how can the Western Region be considered a foreign country?" The Western Region itself belongs to us! 』

"It is said that there are not many spices in the Western Regions. Most of them come from benzoin. Otherwise, why would it be called benzoin?" 』

"My……"

"Okay, forget about the spices. We need to find a policy direction, not to discuss spices. I think this road is too difficult to walk, so I have to use literary attacks, not martial arts..."

"Wrong, wrong, without martial arts, how can we write..."

Although a group of people are all arguing, even arguing until they are blushing and thick-necked, they may have different angles and strategies, but there is no doubt that everyone is mobilized and working in the same direction.

After the New Year, the slight slackness among the officials was eliminated, and everyone was discussing this matter no matter where they were.

Three days may seem like a long time, but in fact, it is not that simple from the perspective of finding a basis for making a statement, then collecting data, and finally making a decision.

These changes in the officials within the Huqi Mansion were also deliberately guided by Fei Qian.

After Confucianism came up with the rule of "king, king, minister, minister, father, son, son", it has been emphasizing "obedience" from top to bottom. However, in fact, except for the common people at the grassroots level, the rest of the middle and upper classes actually abide by this kind of "obedience". Overt and covert illegal operations.

Which dynasty did not emphasize "obedience", and which dynasty did not deceive superiors and deceive subordinates, obeying the rule of law?

The more lacking, the more emphasis is placed on it.

The so-called "If the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die" is often said in a nice way. It is a comfort given to oneself when one is unable to resist. Otherwise, various "rebellious ministers" would not have emerged in endlessly in the past dynasties.

When implementing various policies, there is a lot of talk about implementation. When the superiors slap their heads, they want the lower levels to implement them. When making policies, they neither think it through clearly nor explain it clearly, or they just try it first and it will be fine anyway. The person who is the person is not you, and the person who pays the labor effort or the price of flesh and blood is also not you, so is it necessary to think clearly and make it clear?

It's like the Han Dynasty stipulated that if a woman reaches an age and doesn't get married, she will have to increase her fortune. It seems reasonable and meets the needs of the country, but has the person who actually formulated the policy, this official, personally experienced the impact of this policy on Han families?

No.

Never.

Therefore, these policies gradually became that some were difficult to explain clearly, and some could not be explained clearly at all, so in the end, none of them were explained clearly, and all that was left was to stare and blow and implement!

Then……

In the end, the so-called "benefiting the country and the people" policy of the past dynasties was not used as a weapon for a small group of people to gain promotion and wealth?

Fei Qian didn't want things inside and outside the Hussar Mansion to become like this in the future.

At least while Fei Qian still has a lot of experience in later generations, he can make a template.

It's like Fei Qian brought some new concepts and ideas to these officials inside and outside the Husband's office.

Among these concepts or ideas, a very important thing is "productivity".

This word is a whole new world for these big Han people.

But they are not difficult to understand.

Fei Qian explained to them that productivity is the sum of the output of all the classics, arithmetic, technology, agriculture, industry, etc. of the entire Han Dynasty...

Although the explanation of this term is not so accurate, in fact, the explanation Fei Qian said is not productivity. It is generally regarded as a manifestation of productivity. However, how can this manifestation of productivity be compared to "productivity is the relationship between people with the ability to work and the means of production". The ability to transform nature formed by combination" is easier for the current Han people to understand.

As long as you accept this concept, you will naturally understand it better than "people are like water, and kings are like boats. Water can carry a boat or overturn it." The concept of Min Shui Jun Zhou was not an original creation of Wei Zheng, nor was it a concept that only emerged in the Tang Dynasty. It was already proposed by Xunzi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Xunzi's original words are: "Select the virtuous, promote virtuous people, promote filial brothers, take in orphans and widows, and make up for the poor. In this way, the common people will be able to govern." The common people are in charge, and then the gentlemen are in power. It is said: "The king is the boat, and the common people are the water. The water carries the boat, and the water overturns the boat." This is what it means. 』

Is this concept wrong?

Nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all.

But how can the "people" on the boat care about the "water" under the boat all the time?

After all, water is so cheap and cheap, right? What’s so strange about water? Isn't there water everywhere?

If it is changed to the people who can produce the sum of various items, everyone will nod, yes, if you produce one more piece, my family's wealth will increase! Everything from the fields and factories is mine!

In this way, isn’t this state capitalism somewhat budding?

Therefore, naturally some people are aware of the subsequent problem, that is, only with population can there be output.

You can make money only if you have people, but if you don’t have people, how can you make a lot of money?

So the next idea is that in addition to protecting our own population, we also need to expand the total population?

Otherwise, when the population declines and there is a shortage of manpower, we still want to increase wealth?

By the time the water started to feel cold in the middle and upper layers, it was already freezing cold in the bottom layers.

It can be clearly seen in the policy of establishing households to equalize the people in the early Han Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countries conquered each other, and the population dropped sharply. However, after the unification of the Han Dynasty, the population increased rapidly through the people's recuperation and recuperation. With enough labor force, the agricultural and handicraft industries of the Han Dynasty also experienced a spurt of development, and the market prospered, which led to the rule of Wenjing.

Which of the subsequent feudal dynasties was not like this?

But I just can't remember it. I only know how to talk about what kind of cure, what ZTE, what glory, but I can't remember how to get this or what cure, how to prosper. It seems that I only need to recite a few sentences and express a few sighs. , as if you can come back to life again.

Then after sighing, I still did what I did before and continued to do it.

The change Fei Qian made was from knowing what was happening, slowly pushing forward to knowing why it was happening, and then continuing to push downwards...

Not only in Shandong, but also in Guanzhong, people were saying that Fei Qian was wasting money and wasting money by engaging in the Western Regions and developing snow areas. Although on the surface it was just some memorials and articles about caring for people's livelihood and taking care of the people. Ah, this actually doesn't mean don't mess around, we don't have money!

After all, it seemed at the time, and even in the minds of later generations of feudal dynasties, that foreign countries were poor, chaotic, and had no fertile land for farming. What should they do? You can't occupy it if you attack it, and you may not be able to hold it for a long time if you occupy it. What else is this if it's not a waste of people and money?

As a result, when Fei Qian opened up the Western Regions and attracted merchants, and there were more spices from the Western Regions on the market, these people all exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

Later, I more or less understood, oh, so that’s what we were going to do!

China is dominated by farming, so our thoughts were originally bound by farming. I felt that if we didn’t engage in farming, there would be nothing to achieve, and if we couldn’t farm, it would be meaningless. But in fact, if human society wants to develop, food is important, but other minerals are not. Not important anymore?

In addition, if you don’t want their land, you can still want their people!

If you don’t want their hearts, you need their bodies first!

Then the enlightenment strategy was naturally accepted by everyone.

The people of China do delicate work, while those who have been educated do hard work.

Using China to rule foreign countries seems to be a good idea for everyone.

People in the upper class think this is profitable and agree very much. The more they work, the more money they make. Seeing their wealth increase, they laugh so hard that they can’t even close their legs.

It's easy for middle-level officials to communicate, so everyone, everyone, please be careful and don't bully the civilized people, otherwise you, the corvee, will have to move the rocks and dig the soil to build the canals!

The people at the lower level also think it's good. Although they will inevitably feel a little pretentious and self-conscious about being Han Chinese and look down on the enlightened people from outside, it does reduce their labor burden...

Therefore, the biggest difference between the "enlightenment" promoted by Fei Qian and the so-called enlightenment of other dynasties is also the core point, which is the sharing of benefits.

From top to bottom, from Han to Hu, there are interests.

At the same time, Fei Qian also buried a subconscious mind in these people from top to bottom during this process.

Giving is also a reward.

If you want something in return, you have to give.

This is actually the most basic concept of business. We need to have the concept of cost, and we need to have the concept of output. We need to measure costs and output, and then we have to control costs, research technology, increase output, and other follow-up research...

The vision and concepts brought by Fei Qian are beyond this era, and they are gradually changing the current Han Dynasty.

In the past, the upper class did not care about the life or death of the middle class, and then the people in the middle class also did not care about the life or death of the lower class.

Because they can't see far, or they can only see a point and not a single face.

The emperor played with the ministers at will. He could change his mind at any time, or he could think of ways to change his mind.

Old Liu Tou swore that he would not kill Han Xin, and then turned around and asked his wife to kill You Xi. This would not be considered a violation of the oath.

And so on.

Then the middle manager took a look, Youxi, who doesn’t know this?

Turning around, the middle-level official said to the people below, "Do your best. Do you see? This position is waiting for you. I swear, as long as you work hard and do it with confidence, I will support you!" Then if you do it well, I am a good leader. If you don’t do it well, what the hell are you doing?

The lower class has been fooled too much, and they have turned against each other. Damn, let’s give him a hammer!

Then in the feudal dynasty, the lower classes were persecuted and had no choice but to do so. Isn’t this a rebellion?

But I couldn't remember the lesson and kept walking the same path over and over again.

Well, actually you can't say that you don't accept the lesson at all, but many times even if you accept the lesson, it leads to overcorrection.

Liu Bang said that when cutting leeks, you have to cut the leeks, and the method is to cut off the leeks with a rough technique, and the leeks in the middle layer are frightened. As a result, during the Wang Mang period, Comrade Wang Mang wanted to make a revolution, and revealed a little bit It's interesting, those in the middle level are just a slap in the face, great, Sage Wang, do it, we support you!

So Wang Mang went very smoothly at first. He wanted reputation, strength, strength, cooperation, and posture. But when Comrade Wang Mang came on stage and opened his mouth, he ended up being even more ruthless than Comrade Liu. The middle management was dumbfounded for a moment. Already...

The purpose of helping Wang Mang to come to power was to stop being a leek. It turned out to be a good thing. Wang Mang not only had to cut leeks, but also had to scrape the ground three feet away. So he immediately stopped helping Wang Mang and turned around to find Liu Xiu. He felt that he was still old. The Liu family is more reliable.

Xiu'er, you knock that old king down, and we will help you become the emperor! Let’s make a deal first, you become the emperor and you have to protect us! By the way, I can't give you all the military power, so I'll leave some of the imperial army to you as a facade. The rest is better left in our hands. It's settled, come on, sign and pledge to marry me!

As a result, the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty were never able to surpass the Western Han Dynasty in terms of military strength and power. At the same time, the influence of the relatives on the court has been unable to be suppressed. By the way, the Shandong nobles are also extremely wary of the generals in Guanzhong and Hexi. If there is a slight movement of wind, a shit basin will be buckled...

This is the sequelae of overcorrection in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Now, Fei Qian is treating the disease and dealing with the sequelae.

Fei lurked in Guanzhong and held an enlarged meeting if something happened. When everyone heard this, they said, oh, they are not trying to mess with us, they are trying to mess with outsiders. Okay, it's good to mess with outsiders! Moreover, there is no need to send troops, no recruitment, no money and food, just a few people and some ideas, is that a big deal? There are benefits to everyone if we do it, so what are you waiting for? If you don’t do it, you will be a grandson!

This is not called conquest, it is just education!

And what Fei Qian did best was that he put most things on the table.

Upright.

This is upright, easy to say, but not easy to do.

Because everything that can be put on the table must withstand scrutiny.

Here in Feiqian, generally speaking, anything that needs to be done is advertised widely, either by convening an enlarged meeting, or by the Senate promulgating laws, or simply by posting them with notices, more or less. After such a period of buffering time, if you still don't understand, don't understand, or pretend to understand, then you really deserve to die.

After playing along, or being played by Fei Qian so many times, these officials in Guanzhong gradually caught up with the rhythm.

Controlling foreign countries through business, or called alliance, to form a unified whole and build a huge system. This is not the first creation of later generations or the West, but in ancient China, there was a group of people with Such a tribe has already built a dynasty relying on various commercial behaviors and connections.

That dynasty was called Yin Shang.

So the people of ancient times were able to leave, but future generations cannot? In ancient times, we could use force, commerce, technology, etc. to control the princes from all over the world, but in later generations, only the rest were left?
