Chapter 3237 Save the wonderful prescription for healing the country for later use
Wang Meng was startled by the scene in front of him.
I could see that in the ditch in front of me, stretching along the folds of the earth slope, a row of shacks were built densely. These shacks are also packed with people. At a glance, people with diabetes would be surprised to find that they would die on the spot.
When there are more people, the invisible pressure rises straight up.
"Go forward! 』
The voices of the hussars standing on the slope were hoarse, but they were still shouting with some fatigue, guiding Wang Meng's queue forward.
On the slope, a few officials who looked obviously depressed but were holding on strong came over, and then used every opportunity to disperse Wang Meng and others to various shacks.
Wang Meng saw wooden signs nailed to the pillars of each shed with the word "正" on them, which were obviously used for counting. Judging from the positive characters on the wooden signs, most of the shacks have more than thirty people.
Just like the shack that Wang Meng was assigned.
Wang Meng, who was holding his luggage, sat down on a small piece of ground given by the man outside. Just when he was about to ask the person next to him something, a half-grown man wearing a number plate came over from a distance carrying a bamboo basket. .
"newcomer? Here, take it. 』
A pair of hands that were neither clean nor dirty stretched out in front of Wang Meng.
Wang Meng subconsciously took the cooking cakes delivered to him, and then watched blankly as the half-grown child walked from shack to shack. The cooking cakes in the basket were quickly decreasing...
Wang Meng's eyes moved slightly. He lowered his head, looked at the cooking cake in his hand, and pinched it.
Very strong.
Although the appearance of this food is a little dark, it is undoubtedly good enough to satisfy your hunger.
On the way to escape, not to mention having such a pancake, even half of it, might cost some lives!
But now, just give it away for free?
Seeing Wang Meng staring at the cooking cake in his hand, but not eating it for a long time, looking left and right, the people on the side seemed to have misunderstood something, so they muttered: "What's wrong?" Are you afraid that others will rob you? Eat it! When we came here before, we took it all, no one wants to take it from you! 』
Subconsciously holding together is not something difficult to understand. Most humans are social animals. Refugees, especially those who have just entered a small group, often need to hand over some things, the most common of which is food, in order to obtain some degree of "shelter" from the small group.
If there is no team protection, if an individual obtains food, it will soon be robbed...
Of course, it's not impossible to rush to eat, but you will most likely be beaten. If you are beaten severely, you may be beaten to death on the spot. So anyone who has been in a refugee pile knows the unspoken rule. If no one notices the food when you find it, then whatever you eat is yours. But if there are others around, hiding food is a "felon crime".
"No one is taking it from you, just eat it, baby!" "The elder at the entrance of the shack also said.
Wang Meng couldn't help but be stunned.
The fact that no one is robbing does not mean that these people are of good character, but it means that the most basic order has been established here!
Humans are complex creatures.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Yuncheng Basin is not that big, and many refugees have not completely lost their humanity.
When a person is completely plunged into chaos and completely surrenders his reason to the ravages of madness, no amount of order and rules will be of any use to him.
But this is not just a shack, and it is not just these thirty people. They calmed down the refugees so quickly and allowed these people to return to the rules of order. This hussar army is really...
Is this using food and grass to stabilize people's hearts?
If everyone can hold cooking cakes, how much food and grass will be eaten by so many people?
Wang Meng thought he had spied on the hussar's strategy, so he chuckled, responded, and started eating immediately. He even almost bit his own tongue because he ate so hastily, which caused good-natured laughter from the people around him.
The young man on the side kindly took out a bamboo tube and handed it over, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke, give me some water." 』
Wang Meng nodded repeatedly, took a sip, and poured the food down, "This... this cake is really solid..."
Although there is a lot of wheat bran in the cake and it looks very dark, it is definitely a genuine and good grain, not something rotten and moldy.
"It's not that bad," the elder next to him also said with some regret, "How can I be willing to eat such a good steamed bun on ordinary days? I have this steamed bun for two meals a day. To be honest, I feel uneasy eating it..."
"Listen to what this means..." Wang Meng asked, "Two meals a day?" Is this all? 』
"Well, that's not it. "The elder sighed, a little worried, "Although these steamed buns are good, but... hey... just in case that happens, it's not as good as a bowl of gruel..."
Some young people may not understand what the elders mean, but Wang Meng knows it clearly.
The key at the beginning is too high, and it will be even more difficult to sing well later.
It is not easy to satisfy people's hearts. If Hussar cannot supply so much food, some people will be dissatisfied...
That's right.
When these refugees regard the cooking cakes in their hands as something they deserve, if they suddenly lower their standards and add in the advocacy of thoughtful people, it will definitely cause a commotion. If they are not careful, it will be a disaster!
Aha!
That's just right!
Wang Meng nodded in agreement on the surface, but in fact he sneered in his heart.
Because of his understanding of the people in Shandong, Wang Meng thought that the Hussars would definitely have many problems after the shortage of food and grass, so there was no need for him to jump out in a hurry. Anyway, wait until those guys who are greedy for cheap take action on their own. Just a few provocative words, wouldn't it save worry and effort and not be much dangerous?
While Wang Meng was thinking about it, he suddenly saw several people, led by petty officials, arriving in front of a shed.
"Everyone in front of you, get out of the way!" Make way for the doctor! 』
After hearing the clerk's cry, the refugees in the shack not far away hurriedly made room.
Wang Meng was almost stunned.
What?
Physician?
Do doctors treat these refugees?
Am I crazy, or is this place crazy?
Although the clerk's face was ugly, as if everyone owed him hundreds of dollars, the doctor was also very simple and did not have any long-term diagnosis. He came out not long after entering the shack. , he kneaded some powder from the medicine box, mixed a bowl of concoction for the patient to drink, and then left in a hurry. There was no careful treatment at all...
But these are refugees!
Wang Meng was a little confused.
It’s not like Wang Meng has never seen someone give food to the refugees. After all, the first thing the refugees lack is food. As long as there is food, they will naturally be able to settle down. But for example, doctors are currently being sent to treat the refugees. That is Wang Meng who has been there since he was a child. Saw it once...
Shouldn't the refugees be like grassroots, living if they can survive, and dying if they can't?
Medical treatment costs thousands of dollars for just a touch. Ordinary people don’t have money to go to a doctor, let alone a refugee!
Could it be some wandering Taoist priest who burns talisman water?
Wang Meng didn't know what he felt in his heart. It's not that he has never been sick, but when he is sick, he can only stay stiff and rely on self-healing. He has no spare money to see a doctor, and he even has to drag his body to work, otherwise he will have nothing to eat at the end of the day. He hasn't had a doctor see him for so many years, this...
How can this homeless man be so virtuous that he can be treated by a doctor? !
Definitely a fake doctor!
Deceptive!
It must be!
However, on the night of the second day, I don’t know whether it was because the doctor’s medicine was effective, or because the refugees’ drug resistance was too low, or because the grasshoppers had extremely strong vitality, and the cheers came from the shack next door. The sound made Wang Meng's jaw drop, and he couldn't close it for a long time...
…
…
On the side of Pingyang, on the top of Peach Mountain.
In the Shoushan Academy, on the high platform of Mingtang.
Fei Qian sat on the high platform, looking up, with a slightly nostalgic look on his face.
In the Mingtang, there are not only the children of the Hedong gentry who came to Pingyang to bet on Feiqian these days, but also the children of the academy, doctors, and wine worshipers who originally lived in Taoshan, Pingyang.
Such as Zhongjie, Linghuhui, etc.
These people are basically the so-called "clear streams" that exist in the land east of the river.
The so-called "Qingliu", in fact, was not that bad at the beginning, it could even be said to be a virtuous person who cleansed people's hearts.
The Eastern Han Dynasty may be the source of this "clear stream".
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, students Guo Tai and Jia Biao joined forces with ministers Li Ying, Chen Fan and others to criticize the government and expose the crimes of the eunuch group, which was called "Qingliu". Later, such spontaneous groups gathered together, including in the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, similar political schools also appeared.
However, the so-called Qingliu also extends to three words, "Qingyi, Qingtan, empty talk". Later generations often confuse them, but in fact they are not equal.
Qingyi first appeared in the late Han Dynasty. The Qingliu people at that time exerted influence on politics by discussing current affairs and criticizing figures. Under the dark political reality at that time, the discussion of the Qing Dynasty had a certain role in stimulating the turmoil and promoting the Qing Dynasty, but there were also descendants of the gentry who used it to gain fame and reputation.
Qingtan was popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was relative to talking about common things and was also called "qingyan". Forced by the high pressure of the political environment and the treacherous social atmosphere, the gentry and celebrities at that time did not talk about state affairs or people's livelihood, but only talked about Lao Zhuang and Zhou Yi, living in illusion.
Empty talk refers specifically to many things that remain in theory and are spread verbally without being put into practice. The final result is a war of words between political factions, internal strife and wastage in the country, and the result is The consequences of ruin and defeat...
These clear streams in the Han Dynasty were generally not as bad as those in the Song and Ming Dynasties, so Fei Qian still wanted to use them.
At least, in the Han Dynasty, these Qingliu people were still talking about things, criticizing specific things and laws, and judging someone based on their words and deeds. Unlike in the late Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty, they were just cliques and did not talk about it. Regardless of whether they are actually correct or not, regardless of their actual character, if they are purely on different sides, they will all be defeated.
If Qingliu in the Han Dynasty could still do some good deeds, then by the end of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Qingliu was basically doing nothing but human affairs.
At this moment, Fei Qian deliberately invited these so-called "clean" people to the scene before the head-on conflict with Cao Cao. The purpose was naturally to point to the political correctness of this battle.
Everyone who came here understood this, and for most of the people present, they were more or less prepared on how to maintain the "justice" of Fei Qian's next war...
War is an extreme form of confrontation of human power, and the stance of war is inseparable from politics.
The pattern of ancient Chinese wars is obviously more civilized.
Although the external expression is a single "benevolence, virtue and righteousness", in fact it contains many contents.
This is not determined by Confucianism, but by China's historical development and environmental needs.
In other words, it was China's needs that made Confucianism provide the doctrine.
this point is very important.
Who is the leader and who is the follower, who is the leader and who is the follower? If you are not sure, settle the matter after the battle, okay, make wedding clothes for others...
Fei Qian obviously would not fight for the sake of the so-called "benevolence" or "righteousness", and he was not willing to let his war be limited by these "benevolence and great righteousness".
When Fei Qian was meditating, naturally no one dared to disturb him. Even if everyone was sitting in the audience, they didn't dare to make any noise.
Qingliu needs to be used, but how to use it well is a big problem.
Just like the self-media of later generations, it obviously has a role in supervising public opinion for the ruling officials, but how to use it better, rather than spreading it randomly and fending for itself, is obviously a question that tests the ability of the ruling officials.
China has a vast territory, complex terrain, and is divided into various naturally closed areas by mountains, rivers, and rivers.
Even if we don’t talk about the three hundred miles of Qinchuan in Guanzhong, the mountains rising eastward from the snow-covered plateau form the Sichuan-Shu Basin, a rich land of fish and rice, which is difficult to climb from the north. Take the plank road over the mountains and ridges. To go from the east, you need to take a boat in reverse and go up the river. Surrounded by complex geography, the mountains and rivers inside and outside Jin, the valleys and hills of South Vietnam, the coastal estuaries of Jiaozhi, and the plateaus of Yunnan and Guizhou, China has built one isolated land after another since ancient times.
In various parts of China, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, every country and county has different customs. Simply relying on violent conquest is far from enough to maintain long-term unity. Therefore, what is needed is the continuous renewal of imagination in the political system and social culture. Military power can only serve as a guarantee and an auxiliary, but cannot become an absolute unit.
After a long time, Fei Qian looked around and spoke slowly.
"Dingkou is the foundation of the country." 』
"Ding, it's taxes." Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Ding people have paid taxes, so they are very important. 』
"Since ancient times, sages and emperors have always attached great importance to this. The income from taxes is the cornerstone of the country, the source of food and clothing, and the source of soldiers and armor. Therefore, those who govern a country must consider the number of Dingfu and live within their means to support the world. 』
"What about a word from your mouth?" 』
"Everyone knows that if you want the country to be peaceful and the people to be safe, you must correct your words so that they can live where they want and live what they need." A man with many mouths will have a small number of people, but a man with few words will have a weak power. Therefore, those who are good at politics not only pay more attention to Ding Fu, but also pay more attention to oral nourishment. This is the key to governing the country and ensuring peace. 』
Fei Qian said, then smiled, "Of course, if you know it, you should do it." 』
The population problem is obviously a problem faced by all societies in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucius lamented, "The tyranny is as fierce as a tiger, the etiquette has collapsed, and the country is in mourning!" 』
Fei Qian's smile became even brighter, "I dare to ask you, do you know whether good government can survive in the world after Confucius lamented?" I know that Confucius has a theory of governing with virtue, but can the same kind of management of business be practiced in a democratic system? What should we do with Dingkou's theory? 』
Yes, there is a special chapter in Confucius' "The Analects" about "doing politics", but is this chapter...
For example, Confucius said, "When I was fifteen, I was determined to learn; when I was thirty, I was established; when I was forty, I was not confused; when I was fifty, I knew the destiny of heaven; when I was sixty, my ears were obedient; when I was seventy, I followed my heart's desires without going beyond the rules." 』
This sentence is from the chapter "Wei Zheng". Does this sentence have anything to do with the word "Government by virtue"?
It's probably "the salt I've eaten on the road I've walked on", something like this, so you young people should listen to my advice of "knowing destiny"...
It has to be said that Confucius has very important ideological guiding significance for those in power who need "benevolence and virtue". It is also the foundation of the entire Confucianism. In other words, the meaning of the existence of Confucianism is to help those in power "benevolence and virtue". ” to govern the country.
Well, this is just what Confucius believed was the meaning of the existence of Confucianism and the corresponding qualified rulers.
Because history has shown very clearly that Confucius' idealization does not exist at all. Whether it is a king or a Confucian disciple, there are indeed people who can be called "benevolence", but most of them are not the same as "benevolence". It doesn't matter, he's just doing dirty things under a layer of clothing.
Some theories of later generations often attribute the rise and fall of a dynasty to feudal monarchy, social corruption, land annexation, etc. This does make some sense, but these conclusions are often oversimplified, so that many things are missing and covered up.
For example, why at the beginning of the feudal dynasty, the kings and ministers at the beginning of the founding of the country were obviously from the lower class, and they did not necessarily have much profound knowledge, but they were able to found a country, while those emperors at the end of the dynasty , received a good education since childhood and studied many scriptures, but in the end he was either a so-called mediocre person, or a debauched and cruel person?
If this argument is true, it is not only a slap in the face of Confucianism, but also a shit on the statue of Confucius!
People who did not study Confucianism systematically founded the country, but then the learned people from elementary school to high school perished...
The key is that Confucian disciples also regard this set of rhetoric as a classic.
Obviously, there is a contradiction between the randomness of the emperor's abilities and the regularity of reality.
Fei Qian's remarks obviously made these people uncomfortable.
"I dare to ask you all, the saying goes, "There is a great way to make money. There are many who live, few who eat, those who work are sick, and those who use it are comfortable, then the wealth will be permanent and sufficient. A benevolent person uses wealth to make a fortune, and an unkind person uses his body to make a fortune." How to solve it? 』
