What Feiqian is doing now is part of the sinking market, or in other words, a beginning.
In later generations, there was the Age of Discovery. The Age of Discovery opened a new chapter in colonization. Within a period of time, a large amount of wealth was transported to Spain and Portugal along with ships one after another.
That's right, in the Age of Discovery, the first ones to engage in colonial plunder were the upper and lower teeth.
However, because the two big teeth looked too ugly, they soon encountered resistance from the locals. As everyone knows about the later results of the great voyage, the two big teeth were blown away by the sun, and in the end, the sun never sets.
At the end.
The reason may be complicated, but one of the factors is very important, that is, the sun never sets appears to be gentler than the two big teeth. At least, compared to the two big teeth, eating is a little better on the surface, and some soup will leak out.
As for the guy who is eating, he has to pick up the pot.
Although plunder will bring "quick money", if you want it to last, you still need a "win-win" situation.
The sinking market is not just "sinking", but also requires a "market".
Arrogance is the original sin.
At the end of an empire, it often enters a period of arrogance, but once it enters a period of arrogance, it is basically not far from disintegration and decline. There have been so many empires that died of arrogance in history, too many to list.
If Fei Qian wants to get rid of this arrogance, he must let more people know what the world is like, and if he wants to open people's eyes, he must spread knowledge wider, just like before and
Zheng Xuan's argument was the same, so tea trees were planted all over the north and south of the river.
This is the sinking market. It not only sinks, but also cultivates the market.
Of course, some soils are suitable for growing tea trees, while tea trees cannot survive in some places. This is normal, but it is obvious that as long as widespread planting continues, more tea trees will naturally come out, just like in later generations, not only will there be Pu'er
Wouldn’t it be great for everyone to be able to find the one that suits them? Do you have to press all the tea in the world into tea bricks and tea cakes to be considered tea? Or do you not even need tea, just wine?
Cao Cao also wanted to sink the market back then. For example, Cao Cao also claimed to be a meritocracy, completely abandoning the packaging that the upper class used to wrap around himself, and breaking the original boundaries of dividing the market. But unfortunately, Cao Cao only
It made a sinking action without cultivating the market, so in the end it just sank for a short while and then floated up again.
The chill hanging over Chang'an did not stop people from talking enthusiastically about this Qinglong Temple lecture about donating books and lottery numbers. Some people even came late and failed to get the number plate, so they asked someone to buy it...
In winter, basically both ordinary people and nobles are more leisurely. There is a lot of fun to join in, which is naturally better than watching dead leaves and counting ants at home. Therefore, those who gather at Qinglong Temple are not only nobles, but also
A lot of ordinary people nearby.
However, most of these ordinary people did not come empty-handed. For example, they would bring some bamboo baskets made by themselves, home-steamed cooking cakes, etc., and then naturally formed a large-scale community outside Qinglong Temple.
market.
It was November 11th, the second year of Taixing.
A good day worthy of being bought by many people in future generations.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Chang'an was the largest city in China, with nearly 300,000 soldiers and civilians. Although this number is inconspicuous compared to later generations, you must know that that time was in BC.
After Wang Mang, Chang'an has never been able to regain its prosperity. Coupled with Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, Chang'an was once desolate and dilapidated until Fei Qian restored order in Guanzhong.
At this moment, although it cannot be said that Chang'an City has become better than before, it is not an empty word to say that there are tens of thousands of houses. It stretches for several miles along the Jing and Wei Rivers. And with the development of the commercial economy, the population of Chang'an City is increasing.
Many, it seems that it will replace Luoyang in the past and become the largest city in the Han Dynasty in the near future.
Of course, the development of any big city will eventually become a deformed monster. It is simple because a large population must have a large demand for living materials, and these needs cannot be completely self-sufficient near the city. They must be
Only with a large number of merchants traveling back and forth can we ensure the increasing living demands of big cities.
Nowadays, the Guanzhong region is naturally much more stable and has better material conditions than other regions in China. The Great Theory of Qinglong Temple is undoubtedly a plank that makes up for spiritual needs and attracts more attention and traffic.
.
Near the Qinglong Temple, Xu Huang had soldiers on duty along the street early to maintain order. In addition, there were patrols from time to time. When he saw something making a big fuss, he would immediately step forward and scold him. Passers-by also knew that it was powerful, so even if there were some
Even if there is a dispute or something, I don't dare to take the inspection of these soldiers seriously.
The female relatives of the Han Dynasty were basically not as strict as the feudal dynasties of later generations in public appearances. However, after all, the children of the gentry still felt that they were somewhat superior to others, and they were different from the ordinary people who crowded around in the crowd, so most of them had some status.
The female family members either sat on the canopy car or gathered around a high ground early, then spread some fur cushions, covered their hands with copper warmers, and looked at the crowd openly, and from time to time they heard laughter like silver bells.
, swaying like flowers blooming out of season in winter.
The reason why there are so many female relatives is because today the first female doctor of Han Dynasty is coming to give a lecture!
However, before the first female doctor of the Han Dynasty came on stage to give a speech, there was another interesting thing, that is, the Hussar General wanted to publicly commend the Enlightenment...
Zhang Shi was in front of the queue on the corridor of the main hall square of Qinglong Temple. Although he had experienced wind, rain, bitter cold and many big and small things over the years, when he really stood on this corridor, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous and excited. Long-sleeved
The hands underneath were trembling slightly.
Behind Zhang Shi, there is a whole row of enlightenment envoys who have expired, wearing uniform green shirts and just wearing turbans on their heads. Most of them look a little weathered due to the weather, but their waists
But the pole is straight and full of energy, because everyone knows that they will reach a new level, a higher and bigger level.
In front of the main hall of Qinglong Temple and around the square in front of the temple, there are guards of the Cavalry General Fei Qian.
These tough soldiers who were selected among the iron-blooded men naturally have a kind of chilling aura on the battlefield. Even if they stand still, they seem to be ready to fight at any time, and the surrounding temperature seems to be colder.
Three points, flags, flags, golden drums, and a full guard of honor given by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty make it even more majestic and powerful.
The person who presided over the awarding and commendation of the Enlightenment Envoys today was not General Fei Qian of the Hussars. It was not that General Fei Qian of the Hussars did not value these Enlightenment Envoys, but after all, he had a high position and had to delegate power appropriately. He could not make people feel that the Envoys
There is no one available under the general, so he is forced to do everything by himself.
Of course, he is not the fat little Hei Fengchu. Pang Tong is now in charge of surrounding security issues. His eyes are round and round, fearing that there is something wrong somewhere.
Although this time is a bit risky, after the entire Chang'an City has been screened and cleaned up, the safety factor has been improved a lot compared to before. And the most important thing is that if this grand ceremony is successfully held, it means that the Qinglong Temple Grand Lecture
Completely restored to normal, you can take the next step...
The person who presided over the ceremony and acted as the etiquette officer was the first-generation enlightenment envoy, Wang Ling and Wang Yanyun.
Wang Ling was an outstanding person among the Enlightenment Envoys from his initial position of 200 stone as the Assistant Secretary of Education, to the position of Puzi County Magistrate of 600 Stones, and then to the Chief Secretary of Taiyuan of Thousand Stones. It is most appropriate for him to preside over the Natural Envoy.
.
Wang Ling stood under the steps of the main hall, with his head held high and a crown of virtue on his head. He was wearing a brocade robe and a seal hanging around his waist. Although he was not as fierce as the surrounding hussars and guards, he was more powerful.
A bit of elegance and magnanimity.
Looking at the young priests waiting in line on the corridor, Wang Ling couldn't help but think of the time when he taught Hu children in the Qiang and Huns lands...
"Master Wang, the auspicious time has come." The clerk who was paying attention to the engraving reminded him softly.
Wang Ling recovered from his memories, nodded, then took two steps forward, then grabbed his sleeves with both hands, raised them high and danced in a circle. The wide sleeves were like a peacock spreading its tail wings in the air, instantly attracting people.
Everyone's attention: "Happy! Get up!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Along with the rhythm played on the bell and drum towers, the musicians on both sides of the hall played music one after another. Amidst the sound of the drums, the vermilion-red Qinglong Temple main hall door opened on the left and right, and then two rows of soldiers wearing Mingguang armor walked along both sides of the door.
They filed out and stood on both sides of the steps of the main hall.
Then, a three-color canopy unique to the Han Dynasty appeared at the entrance of the hall, and under the canopy was the hussar general of the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian, wearing a helmet.
If there is any beauty or highlighter now, Fei Qian's face is definitely blessed with the twelve-level smoothing effect, shining with the smell of money, uh, wealth, well, that's pretty much what it means anyway...
…
The carefully crafted Mingguang armor not only reflects the brilliance that cannot be looked directly at, but also has exquisite patterns outlined by gold and silver threads, plus Sichuan Tegon blood red brocade with colorful decorations.
The cloak is as if it is covered with money, full of a strong worldly smell...
However, this kind of secular equipment is what most ordinary people recognize and admire very much. Therefore, the moment Fei Qian appears, the cheers are endless, from the initial slightly messy to the
The final words were uniform, and the sound shook the whole country: "The great Han's cavalry will win ten thousand times! The great Han's cavalry will win ten thousand times! The great Han's cavalry will win ten thousand times!"
Fei Qian had a smile on his face and raised his hand to signal, but the cheers still lingered. After a long time, they gradually stopped.
Wang Ling stood at the bottom of the steps, and at Fei Qian's signal, he shouted loudly: "Xuan! Climb!"
Following Wang Ling's order, the soldiers standing on both sides of the corridor raised their flags together. The enlightenment envoys headed by Zhang Shi immediately moved forward slowly under the tail wings of the flying colorful flags. Behind these people, the common people came again.
An outburst of cheers...
Zhang Shi followed the leading attendants, walking with his head held high and his chest high. His violent heartbeat even made Zhang Shi feel that the feet under his feet were not bluestone slabs, but soft felt blankets.
The corridor is neither long nor short. After entering the stone archway, you can immediately see the main hall at the end of the square. Accompanied by the peaceful music of Zhongzheng, a group of enlightened envoys headed by Zhang Shi walked on the square according to the pre-rehearsed instructions.
He stood still at the position, and then, under the signal of the leading attendant, he took half a step forward, all bowed down, and said, "See you..."
Fei Qian smiled and waved his hand. Wang Ling understood, turned around, faced Zhang Shi and others in front of him, and shouted loudly: "The general has an order, please forgive me!"
Zhang Shi and others stood up.
Zhang Shi stepped forward, raised his hands in salute, and said loudly with a hint of trembling: "We have been ordered by the general to educate the Hu people. After three years of hard work, we have never slackened off! We have devoted ourselves to teaching and solving doubts.
Never stop for a day! Walking on the ice and snow, drinking in the cold wind, conveying safety and danger, comprehending the greatness, Tao great aspirations, and understanding ignorance. With Fan, with numbers, with Mao, with mediocrity, so that the people of Hu will know awe, know virtue and righteousness, understand things, and the people will appreciate them.
.At the end of the Three Autumn period, I am returning my order now! Out of fifty, there will be five who will die from illness, seven who will be killed by diseases, five who will be devoured by beasts, four who will be killed by soldiers, and the rest will be here!"
Fei Qian nodded, took a step forward, stood on the steps, and looked around.
Among the crowds at the edge of the square, there were young people, old people, scholars holding books, and vendors with bamboo plaques on their heads...
The people nearby are generally quiet, but there is still some noise in the distance, and there seems to be some laughter from young people...
Although some people did not understand what Zhang Shi said and did not know what Zhang Shi meant, Fei Qian's subsequent actions made everyone understand what happened among these enlightenment envoys.
.
"Drumming! Envoy of enlightenment, tap Mao!"
Fei Qian shouted in a deep voice.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong dong dong..."
The rapid drum beat sounded, and the soldiers around the square slammed the flagpoles or spears in their hands on the ground three times, and then shouted loudly in unison, which shocked the people watching the excitement around the square.
The fierce murderous aura aroused goosebumps all over the body.
The slightly noisy sounds around him gradually fell silent, and Fei Qian could only hear the slight crackling of the canopy above him unfurling its flags in the wind.
Wang Ling unfolded the roster and nodded loudly:
"Zhang Shi, Zhang Ruoshui!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Chen Lan, Chen Ziqing!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"..."
As the numbering progressed one by one, when the name of the first deceased person was called, the responses of everyone, including Zhang Shi, made the people around him realize something...
With the overall response time and time again, and the 16 times for the deceased enlightenment envoys, the surrounding people really realized that these enlightenment envoys were actually like soldiers on the battlefield, having experienced
With so many risks and sufferings, I began to experience it, instead of just watching the fun.
Wang Ling closed the roster, turned around and handed it over to Fei Qian: "Fifty-five Envoys of Enlightenment! The surviving ones are standing here! The souls of those who have died are here! General, please read it!"
Fei Qian nodded and slowly took the roster...
"Virtue must be rewarded! The ancients valued it very much! Merit must be rewarded! You must be the first in the country! You have suffered hardships, shouldered heavy responsibilities, devoted your efforts, taught and educated, and are of good nature and good character. You have contributed to the country!"
Fei Qian shouted in a deep voice, "The dead are the heroic souls! Choose an auspicious day and enshrine them in the Pingyang Heroic Soul Temple to enjoy the incense of eternity! Those who survive, continue their aspirations! Forge ahead, cultivate your awe-inspiring energy, and travel between heaven and earth!"
