Chapter 2522 Preparation of granaries
The taste of life is like after being slapped, I was so excited that I wanted to find sweet dates, but the next thing I didn’t find sweet dates, but instead I was slapped again without changing the sides.
So, what can I do?
It can only be next to each other.
Fei Qian wanted to give the answer directly, but just like what he said, he could not give it, just like a big bearded man could not give it to the Chinese. He still had to rely on the Chinese to explore this job. Fei Qian could not replace it. He could give directions and he could warn him, but he could not replace all the Han people.
What is the system suitable for the current Han Dynasty? Some rules and regulations of the Tang Dynasty may be just right, and it is not a big problem to use some of the pieces of chicken feathers and phoenix feet further. However, if one step takes a thousand years, it is probably probably a big deal.
Therefore, Fei Qian can only guide the political system to deviate from the direction of the aristocratic system. After all, history has proved that no matter what type of aristocratic family it is, it is actually similar to garbage. As long as it is a monopoly, it will inevitably occur and pollute the environment until everyone can't survive. Then they will passively be forced to clean up and transform the environment.
What if we can propose a strategy to limit the family at present?
As long as you start, someone will definitely do it in the future.
Fei Qian has actually mentioned it a long time ago, but no one has linked him from the original aspect to another, and neither did Zheng Xuan.
Therefore, Fei Qian needs one person or a group of people to complete this for him. Pang Tong is like Fei Qian himself, too conspicuous. Even if Pang Tong really wants to do it, it may cause some people's rebellious mentality, but it will be more difficult to advance. Zhuge Jin is much better. The clear soup noodles are warm and water-like, and they are born with a calm look of nostalgia. Who wouldn't be pleasing to the eye after seeing it?
Of course, the point is that Zhuge Jin's identity is just right, not too much or too much. Zhuge Jin is from Langya. He was born in Shandong, but he experienced Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou. He had irreconcilable conflicts with Cao Cao. On the other hand, Zhuge Jin has also been to Jingxiang and is relatively close to Jingxiang Sect, so there is no more suitable for being an intermediary than him, introducing each other and then pushing things in the direction pointed out by Fei Qian. However, how far can it be pushed and whether it can be rolled bigger and bigger like a snowball falling on the top of a mountain. It remains to be observed later.
Shortly after Fei Qian returned to the Cavalry Mansion, he received a report sent back from the Yinshan Observation Point.
After Fei Qian looked at it, he was silent for a long time.
The latest news shows that more than ten monitoring stations set up in Mobei have monitored a new cold current, and the Yinshan Guardian Li Dian is preparing to patrol Shanbei...
Although there is no evidence that this winter will be colder than last year, this news reminded Fei Qian again of the time when he first arrived at the Han Dynasty. At that time, Fei Qian was like this now. He knew a lot, but he could not say anything, or he could not say it directly.
Fei Qian is now a little lucky. Back then, he did not pretend to be a Taoist priest, an immortal, a god or a monster, a prophecy or divination to contact He Jin, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, etc., otherwise Fei Qian would have to face the embarrassment of being turned over by others at the moment.
Why? Back then, you pretended to be a god and a ghost, but now you are not allowed to say that there are always five virtues of reincarnation?
But auspicious things are always inevitable, just like now, there will be people reporting some "auspicious things" from time to time, such as Zhuanghe with double ears and white animals...
There are even people in Sichuan and Sichuan who are preparing to pay tribute to Pixiu, namely the Iron Eating Beast, well, the giant panda.
Then all of these were stopped by Fei Qian and ordered that he thought it was auspicious, but in fact, it was not only to consume and manpower, but also to make the emperor value auspiciousness and neglect political affairs. It was indeed inappropriate. He then issued a letter of order to express his orders to all directions, indicating that officials from all over the country were not allowed to report any auspiciousness.
It can be seen that habits are difficult to change, especially once the disadvantages of the superstructure are magnified ten times a hundred times when they reach the lower floor...
A good political system is not the limit, but the Han people only say it. Qinglong Temple should be such a place of discussion.
Zheng Xuan is old after all, and maybe he thought of this, but he will definitely think that there is still no trouble. It is best to end smoothly. If you don’t seek new things or change, just let him gain a good reputation and leave a good name at the end of his life, everything will be fine.
But the problem is that Fei Qian disagrees.
If you sit in this position, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities.
If you just want to be a good person, then you didn’t come to Chang’an at the beginning. Now that you have climbed to the high platform, you must have the courage to resist the cold wind.
Can a person really change the course of history?
cannot.
But one group of people, one large group of people can do it.
History has a very strong inertia. To change its direction is like hitting a stone with an egg. Of course, Fei Qian also saw that every major progress in history is led by a few people. With the right time, place and people, the majority can drive the wheel of history.
If possible, Fei Qian hopes that he can concentrate on government affairs, treat himself as a purely great official, and forget about what will happen in the future...
But he can't forget it, because God reminded him again and again.
The cold current was raging. Last year, countless people, horses, cattle and sheep were frozen to death in the desert. Fortunately, the great man in the south did not have a great impact, but what about this year?
Why didn’t Fei Qian rush to beat Cao Cao?
Because in Fei Qian's plan, there is really no need to fight Cao Cao's place.
War is far from just open swords and guns, but also the preparations in the granaries.
A good general, Xiaozhu, said that he should understand the right time and place, and know the hearts of the army and the people. However, Fei Qian is still above such a general, and he knows some future trends. This future trend is enough for Fei Qian to accumulate huge advantages little by little, and finally defeat the enemy without fighting.
Well, there may be a battle, but it will definitely be the last one...
It’s very simple. The more people, it is indeed conducive to production and development. But similarly, the more people, the more food you eat, the more food you need, the greater the pressure you bring to agriculture.
Fei Qian suddenly remembered that it was actually like later generations who proposed to control the population after natural disasters. This policy was obviously correct at that time, because not controlling means maintaining a large amount of agricultural grain production and even increasing agricultural investment. So how can we develop industry? After all, when we looked up at that time, we found that the gap between ourselves and the world was too big.
The people obviously couldn't understand it, at least at that time, and it was useless to explain it. After all, the people only care about the doorsteps of the house, and they don't think about it or care about the people in the distance, or they don't know what to do if I have one more...
Therefore, from this perspective, the population policy formulated at that time was beneficial to the country, but the policy was not omnipotent or eternal. If it could not be adjusted in time and wait until the troubles came before responding in a hurry, it would be the same virtue as the policy was at the beginning, and fell into the same pit and crawled again.
Just like the Han Dynasty has been warming for three or four hundred years, who would think that the Little Ice Age that destroyed the entire Zhuanghe main production area of China will really come? Not only for three consecutive years, but for more than ten consecutive years, the Zhuanghe production has been reduced, and even lost production! This kind of pain cannot even be recorded. Then, it will happen in the Song Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty, and in the change of posture and again.
Every drastic change in the climate is a very heavy blow to all farming societies.
If it hurts, then it will change.
When it doesn't hurt, most of them lie flat.
The key is that you can’t heal the scar and forget the pain!
Fei Qian knew that there were not many records of the Little Ice Age at the end of the Han Dynasty, but the Little Ice Age at the end of the Ming Dynasty was more detailed. On the other hand, when facing the small ice climate, countless people starved to death on the land, they were forced to leave the land, join the already booming voyage, and went to America, Africa, and India to find livelihoods, and passively completed the difficult turn from agricultural countries to industrial and commercial countries.
In a sense, the Little Glacier has promoted the development and growth of European colonialism...
Not forced, who wants to leave the comfortable and warm bed to meet the cold beating?
Therefore, this is suffering and an opportunity. As long as it can be recorded, it becomes experience and a precious wealth of China.
Just look far.
What Fei Qian needs to do now is to prepare in advance...
Fei Qian asked Zhuge Jin to do what Zheng Xuan did not do, just to avoid "people are in politics and people die, and so that the political situation will not appear that a generation insists on. When the next generation is completely denied!
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward..."
Fei Qian whispered a half-hearted sentence.
Huang Xu saw Fei Qian's lips slightly moving, but he couldn't hear anything clearly in the sound of horse hooves, so he thought that Fei Qian had some instructions, so he rushed forward a little, "Lord, what are the instructions?"
『Hmm…』 Fei Qian pondered for a moment, looked at the city getting closer and closer, 『Not going back to the mansion, go to Baling "Transferencing"...』
When Huang Xu got the order, he whistled and guided the queue to Baling.
"Zhuayixuan" is a newly established department with a small number of people and is very clear. It is mainly responsible for contacting Hu merchants in the Western Regions, then learning Hu merchant language, and translating some Hu merchants' things.
This is another reserve for Feiqian.
The person responsible for translating Xuan is Guo Tu.
Fei Qian doesn’t like Guo Tu, but Fei Qian also knows that he can’t decide whether to use it alone or whether to give it a chance based on his personal hobbies.
Just like Translation Xuan, when Fei Qian knew that Guo Tu wanted to take responsibility, he didn't say anything, but asked Guo Tu to do it first and then talk about it.
Guo Tu is a little thinner than when he first arrived in Chang'an, with a clear face and a little bit grayish-bearded hair. If he is just looking, he has the style of a famous man.
Putting aside other factors, just talking about literary literacy, Guo Tu is actually not bad. When he was young, he was extremely enlightened and read a lot of books. Not only scriptures, but also poetry, or musical paintings, Guo Tu, like most Yingchuan gentry, was involved.
If it weren't for this, Guo Tu wouldn't have been taken as a think tank by Yuan Shao.
This is the imprint brought to Guo Tu by the Yingchuan gentry and people like Guo Tu.
Fei Qian had actually been thinking about establishing Zhuanyixuan for a while. In fact, it was not difficult to establish Zhuanyixuan earlier, with his power and status, as well as the materials and wealth he had, but the main reason was that the timing was wrong.
Because the Hu people who were mainly engaged in China before were all the nomadic peoples around them, these Hu people knew that they lived a more miserable life than the Han people. At least many Han people also had pots and pans. At this time, some of the nomadic people in the desert were so poor that they had no pots and pans. When they were robbed in the Han area, they really wanted to even scrape the ground and take it away...
So at that time, the Han people disdained to learn some Wu language, just like a place in later generations insisted on not speaking other languages. In addition to regional factors, there was also a component of pride. Once this kind of pride is broken or trampled on the soles of the feet, they would follow the other person's language...
Well, this place is of course the area around Kanzi, Japan.
The surrendered ministers were not welcomed.
This is a recognized real-life problem.
So Guo Tu thought he needed time to prove himself, and was once very confident.
Then Guo Tu accepted reality helplessly in the cycle of hope and disappointment again and again. It was like facing the violence of life, his tricky and weird mouths were used again and again, and he did not want to lie down. He tried hard to get up and tried to change his position.
Translation Xuan is Fei Qian's attempt, and Guo Tu's attempt.
Nowadays, there are too many merchants in Hu, and the merchants from Anxi, who come from Daqin have gradually brought various things to Chang'an, and then taken away the silk and tea from China...
Before Fei Qian asked the merchants of the Western Regions to carry as many books as possible in science, politics, philosophy, medicine, architecture, etc., and to attract scholars and technicians as much as possible, and to give them the best conditions to "invite" to China. However, this takes time, and after these people come, they also need to communicate with each other. It is not said that they will come to learn languages after they arrive...
So Zhuanyixuan was listed quietly.
Because everything was created, the Dahan had always set up similar institutions and had no relevant positions. The only similar one was the Dahonglu Monk, the minister of the host and visit Cao.
However, in fact, the Great Honglu was not an external institution for most of the time. Because during the Qin and Han dynasties, all princes, princes and lords of various vassal states were also regarded as guests of the emperor.
Therefore, the affairs related to this are basically under the control of the Great Honglu, such as the princes and kings, the princes and marquis who were granted titles or their sons to succeed the throne, and the titles were seized and the land was cut off.
When the princes and kings came to the capital to pay their respects to the emperor, the Dahonglu was in charge of etiquette; when the princes and kings died, the Dahonglu sent envoys to pay their respects to the condolences, and drafted etiquette plans and posthumous titles; when the vassal monarchs who were subordinate to the Han Dynasty, when they accepted the title of Han or paid homage to the emperor, and when foreign envoys came to contribute, the Dahonglu was also in charge of etiquette affairs.
Simply put, others come to ask for the Great Honglu, so the Great Honglu does not have to learn any foreign country Hu language, but foreign countries need to learn Chinese language...
Although doing this does have some "superiority", it is actually not very useful, because when others understand what you say, and when you don't understand what others say, you are at a disadvantage in information, and then you are self-confidence and continue to be conservative. When the so-called shell of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire is pulled down, it seems particularly humble.
Therefore, the placement of highly paid translators, allowing some Hu people to act as translators, and sending people to learn the words of Fanbang from these Hu merchants has become one of the main tasks of Translation Xuan. In the future, there will be some translation of Fanbang literature, but now everything is just beginning and no other aspects have been involved.
Fei Qian originally meant to find a famous scholar to take charge, so that no matter whether it is attracting talents on weekdays or translated things, people will pay attention to it. Unfortunately, at the current stage of the Han Dynasty, not to mention that this is just a translation of language and text, and does not involve the so-called "Da Honglu" position, so no one is willing to come to the Translation Xuan.
Except Guo Tu.
Fei Qian thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement.
Guo Tu is also like a stocking in the granaries. If it cannot be taken out and dried, it may have rotted secretly in the granaries...
Therefore, when he saw Fei Qian coming, Guo Tu's waist was bent very low.
Five dou of rice?
It varies from person to person. At least Guo Tu thinks five dou of rice is very important. And who has five dou of rice is actually not entirely about salary.
Following Guo Tu were some minor officials and Fan Hu in the Translation Xuan.
In order to avoid these Hu people from Fanbians from a different country, they translated "Lin Bei" into a humble name, translated "Child" into Hello, etc., so they made some cross-arrangements and recruited some Hu people who were not acquainted with each other as reference.
When several Hu people saw Fei Qian, they saluted one after another. Some were following the Chinese etiquette, and some were about to pounce on them to hold Fei Qian's boots, and then stopped by Huang Xu and other guards...
There is no way. At this stage, these Hu people are generally in a low position, and are basically small businessmen. When some serious scholars come to China, they will get better.
Fei Qian smiled and asked about the situation of Zhiyixuan and the current progress of the translation of Fanbang Hu language, while listening to these Fanbang Hu people patted their chests and expressed their loyalty.
Yes, in this era, the Han Dynasty, especially the Sanfu in Chang'an, was an existence like a lighthouse in the world, with delicious food and beautiful scenery, full of civilized order, rich items and prosperous streets, far surpassing the Western Regions and beyond the imagination of these Hu people in the Fanbian country.
Therefore, for these Hu people in Fanbang, they hope to stay in Chang'an for a long time and enjoy the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
After all the Hu people in the foreign countries went down, Fei Qian asked Guo Tu: "What are the statistics on the military and cultural aspects of the countries in the Western Regions?"
Guo Tu replied respectfully: "I have already considered the customs of 17 countries in the Western Regions... This is related documents..."
Guo Tu waved his hand and signaled his attendant to present a bunch of his achievements over the years.
Fei Qian's eyes moved, then nodded, and took a copy and looked it out.
"The difficulty now is that Fan Hu doesn't understand the Chinese characters, and Fan Hu doesn't understand the writing and ink, so it's difficult to express his meaning..." Guo Tu said carefully while secretly aiming at Fei Qian's face.
『This is okay...』 Fei Qian looked at it and said, 『Translation of Fan Hu's words emphasizes its original meaning and is less important than words. If you think it is not beautiful, you can bring you the subsequent understanding and then make corrections. But at this moment... it is better to "seek the truth"... Can these be copied and written? You can send someone to the general's mansion and wait for someone to read carefully...』
Fei Qian put down the text in his hand and said in a heavy voice, "During the time of Xiaowu, the Western Regions were thirty-six, how could it be that there was only 17 now?"
Chapter completed!
