Fei Qian, Huang Yueying, and Fei Zhen had just eaten breakfast together when they heard the commotion outside the government office...
Huang Yueying was stunned for a moment, and then frowned. It was obvious that she didn't like the originally warm morning to be disrupted like this.
Fei Qian winked at Fei Zhen and said, "Did you hear that? It's coming."
"What's coming?" Huang Yueying asked.
Feizhen rushed to say: "Father said yesterday that he would come to your door if there was any excitement..."
"Hey, you two..." Huang Yueying didn't know whether she should be angry or laughing, "Okay..."
A guard arrived in front of the inner courtyard and reported: "Your Majesty! Outside the government office, a large number of villagers came to complain!"
Fei Qian nodded and said, "What are you being wronged for?"
"Lord, the villagers said that Zhang Shizhong oppressed the good, accepted bribes, and framed the loyal..." The guard said and handed over the villagers' complaints.
"Put it over there..." Fei Qian nodded, "Tell them to wait a moment..."
"Wei!" The guard ordered to retreat.
Huang Yueying said angrily, "What kind of mess is this? Can't we let Pei Juguang handle it?"
Fei Qian gestured towards Fei Zhen, "Come, explain it to your mother!"
"Mencius said, "If there is a good person above, there must be something bad below! The virtue of a gentleman is the wind; the virtue of the villain is the grass. If the grass is in the wind, it will die."..." Fei Zhen said eloquently.
After all, after all this period of time has been taught by Cai Yan, it is not a waste of time. "Father said yesterday that he stopped on the road and listened to the farmers' pleas for the "wind". Now,
When the "wind" blows, the "grass" will naturally die..."
Fei Zhen is actually not stupid. Except for some children with congenital defects, the reason why some children appear to be a little stupid is because of lack of experience on the one hand, and another, more important factor, is laziness.
Because I'm lazy and don't study, I look stupid.
"Okay!" Huang Yueying sighed, "Both of you, father and son, are strategists and have great plans! It's just a pity that I encountered these things after a good morning..."
Fei Qian grunted as he finished his breakfast, then put down the bowl, took out the mouthwash, grumbled for a while, "Okay, I've finished..."
Feizhen couldn't sit still and said hurriedly: "I've finished eating too... I'm not hungry, I won't eat these..."
Huang Yueying immediately raised her eyebrows and was about to scold her, but Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "No hurry, no rush, didn't I tell those people to wait... I didn't leave right away... You eat first, I
Let’s chat with you for a while and let me tell you something first...』
"Oh..." Feizhen then picked up the dishes again.
Fei Qian nodded and said slowly: "Since ancient times, China has been governed by people. However, relying solely on people to rule has many disadvantages, which should be made up for by law..."
In the education that Fei Qian received in later generations, there were often words such as "History chose so-and-so". At the beginning, Fei Qian was often not able to understand the meaning, but now that he has reached the Han Dynasty,
, I can truly understand the meaning of this.
The great unification of China.
No matter how time changes and dynasties rotate, in the land of China, the pursuit of unification will never stop. Even if it is a temporary division, it will eventually move toward unification. This is determined by history...
What is history, is it the consciousness of gods or Gaia? How can we decide this?
It sounds magical, but in fact, it is because when China came from ancient times, it has already determined the direction of future generations. Because in this land of China, "rule by people" has been the most important thing since ancient times.
"Rule by man" runs through all political systems in China.
Because it is "ruled by people," the ruler does not want or allow him to see a second powerful social structure that may challenge him. The princes and countries will inevitably choose to fight each other to find the final winner and complete the great cause of unification.
This is the ultimate goal of almost everyone who stands on the Chinese political stage.
There is only unity.
There is only unity.
Even at the moment, Fei Qian could faintly feel the pressure from both internal and external sources...
Therefore, China has no way, like in Europe, to have deep-rooted hereditary nobility, independent commercial cities, Catholicism and various Protestant sects, etc., and then restrict state power under their own independent power bases to form a more decentralized system.
The rights system is the basis for the birth of the rule of law.
"Use people to rule the law, use law to control people..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Just like Zhen'er said, the wind blows through the grass... If we don't listen to the farmers, I'm afraid no one in the world will listen.
...So even though this matter has been decided, it still needs to be heard..."
Huang Yueying sighed, and suddenly felt that morning preserved meat was no longer so delicious, "Okay, I got it, you can just go and come back early."
Feizhen wanted to cheer, but there was still food in her mouth, so she could only pump her arms and dance...
"Haste makes waste, you can't go like this...you have to rinse your mouth after eating..." Fei Qian said to Feizhen with a smile, and then said unhurriedly, "Confucianism, with
When people govern, they treat the people with virtue, but moral matters are all based on one intention. They may seem beautiful, but they are useless... It is great to have a wise king and a virtuous minister, but there are so many greedy and arrogant people in the world, how can we rely on their virtues?
』
"Legalism emphasizes heavy responsibility, and if it cannot be forbidden, there will be no crime. However, the law comes later, and the crime comes first, and the crime is endless. There is a lack of legal codes, old crimes have not been remedied, and new crimes have arisen. Therefore, only using the law to rule will lead to chaos in the long run...
Fei Qian continued slowly, "The best way is to select talented people, use people to govern, and use laws to control people. People come before the law, and crime leads to the advancement of the law..."
In later generations, Fei Qian once believed that pure "rule of law" is good, and rule by man is bad. But how can everything in the world be purely good or bad? In fact, from the perspective of the entire Chinese society,
For the Han Dynasty, a good society "ruled by men" was more effective than a simple "rule of law".
Most of the so-called intellectuals who advocated the invincibility of the rule of law and the fairness of the rule of law in later generations were just influenced by the West. They were only responsible for advocating and did not care about the various bizarre cases that occurred in the process. When more and more legal cases are
However, unreasonable cases appeared one after another, and the values and moral system that originally maintained the operation of the entire society collapsed...
When a person uses legal but unreasonable means to forcefully jump in line again and again to take advantage, will this person continue to line up honestly in the future?
"So we should treat it by humans?" Fei Zhen finished rinsing her mouth and asked doubtfully.
Huang Yueying knocked on Feizhen's head, "Your father said it was so clear, why don't you understand? Regardless of whether people rule by law or rule by law, talents are needed! Talents are the foundation and governance is the end! If you have talents, why bother about rule by people?
Rule of law? Just like a person’s limbs, do you think the hand is useful or the foot is useful? Can only one be used?”
Fei Qian nodded slightly. This is why later generations, while vigorously advocating the rule of law, also continue to strengthen the propaganda about honor and shame. It is a pity that some people have been fooled by the West and think that only the rule of law like the West can be called
Rule of law...
Is the Western rule of law called the rule of law?
In fact, it might be more appropriate to rename it Qian Zhi?
"The matter in Hedong is actually very simple... The reason why I have stayed here until now is to let you see clearly how to deal with the relationship between man and the law..." Fei Qian touched Fei Zhen's head and said, "Back to
Let’s get to Fei’s third secret…”
"Divide personnel matters!" Fei Zhen responded.
"Yes, okay, go get changed...and when I show up, you will hide behind the screen..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "Go, go..."
Feizhen happily went to change clothes.
Huang Yueying looked at Fei Qian, then bowed, "Thank you for your trouble, sir..."
Fei Qian stretched out his hand and held Huang Yueying's hand, "This is what it should be... As parents, don't you want to pass on experience to your children, so that your children will suffer less of the disadvantages that their parents suffered?"
This is really not a polite word from Fei Qian.
Among the knowledge systems of Fei Qian that are thousands of years older than those of the Han Dynasty, there is a piece of content called "pedagogy"...
Fei Qian was always busy before, but now that he has more time, he naturally has to use it on Fei Zhen.
Parents are always the best teachers for their children. Whatever parents ask their children to do, as long as the parents take the lead and do it, then the children will most likely follow suit...
Fei Qian ate whole grains. Although Fei Zhen cried and shouted, she slowly accepted eating whole grains with Fei Qian.
Fei Qian slept on a straw couch and a wooden bed, and Fei Zhen also slept in the marching tent.
horse riding.
Wrestling.
There is no one who holds his mobile phone and watches videos all day long, but tells his children to study more, nor does he play cards, gamble, drink and fight, but scolds his children for not studying well...
So naturally it is taught quickly and children are willing to follow.
While Fei Qian's family was eating breakfast and chatting leisurely, Pei Mao, who got the news, didn't even have time to finish the breakfast. He hurried from the official residence of the county seat next door to the government office, and then returned to the government office.
Not long after, Zhang Shi also heard the news and came almost in a rage.
"Pei Juguang!" Zhang Shiji pointed at Pei Mao, "I didn't expect you to do such a mean thing! Framed by someone!"
Pei Mao rolled his eyelids and was too lazy to say anything to Zhang Shi.
Just like most people who like to cut in line hate being cut in line by others, Zhang Shi, who has done things like falsely accusing others, also hates others framed him.
"Disperse! Disperse!" Zhang Shi waved his arms, "Here comes someone! Drive all these unruly people away!"
The two men brought by Zhang Shi responded, but after taking two steps, they hesitated and stopped because they saw the cold eyes cast by the direct guards of General Hussars in front of the government office...
"Zhang Shizhong..." Pei Mao said nonchalantly from the side, "At this moment, this place is no longer a government office in Hedong, but a riding chariot... Zhang Shizhong needs to think about it..."
"..." Zhang Shi almost wanted to go crazy, but had to hold back. Then he stared fiercely at every citizen present, as if he wanted to keep the appearance of each of these people firmly in his heart.
Same……
Among the people who came to "regret their grievances", after the initial impulse, some began to back down, looking left and right and wanting to run away, but such a thing can't be said to be like strolling on the street, it just happens.
You can leave as soon as you say? By the time these people realized something was wrong, they were already isolated by the hussar guards and could not advance or retreat.
Perhaps most of the first batch of common people who intercepted the advance of Fei Qian's army were impulsive, but the large number of common people now are definitely not all impulsive, but must have interests involved.
The reason is very simple. People like Zhao Laosi are closer to the people and can get them to do something for them. But like Zhang Shi, he will not take the initiative to harass and bully the people.
It is somewhat possible that he did it smoothly, not because Zhang Shi's character was so good, but because Zhang Shi's goal when he arrived in Hedong was to deal with the big households in Hedong and collect evidence of the big households' crimes, so there was no need for Zhang Shi to have any direct confrontation with these people.
conflict.
And generally speaking, ordinary people don't understand the mysteries of politics. To express grievances for someone is probably the limit. It can also be said that the target is very clearly pointed at Zhang Shi...
Pei Mao naturally understood this point, but Zhang Shi was confused by concern, so it was inevitable that he would be a little flustered.
In fact, this current method has been used since ancient times.
It's just a pity that most people don't know what a "perfect victim" is, let alone the terrible and vicious meaning behind these simple words.
The overall case is naturally not too complicated, and can even be said to be very simple.
When Fei Qian asked Fei Zhen to hide behind the screen, and then summoned Pei Mao separately, Zhang Shi also asked several people about the situation, then sent them all out, called out Fei Zhen and asked, "Listen,
That’s it…if you were to decide the case right now, what would you do?”
Fei Zhen frowned and said, "Pei family... is guilty of indulging the clan members and reselling weapons... Zhang family... is guilty of misbehaving and being arrogant and arrogant... guilty. As for the people... accepting money and making noise to cause trouble..."
Fei Zhen looked up at Fei Qian, as if hoping to get some answers from Fei Qian...
"You decide for yourself first, don't look at me..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "It's useless to look at me, I won't tell you whether you are right or wrong... maybe there is no right or wrong?"
"There is no right or wrong?" Fei Zhen repeated in a murmur.
Fei Qian nodded, "Where do you stand in terms of right and wrong? If you change your position, for example, if you are Pei Juguang, the governor of Hedong..."
"That's the Zhang family's fault!" Feizhen did not refuse this role-changing game, "If it's the Zhang family, then it's the Pei family and the people who are both at fault. If the people come to see it, well..."
"Haha..." Fei Qian laughed twice, "So what's the key?"
"Well..." Feizhen frowned, held her head in her hands, and said with some distress, "Wait, let me think about it..."
Fei Qian didn't rush him, "It's okay, think about it slowly, don't be in a hurry..."
Every child is actually very smart, but sometimes it just depends on whether the child is willing to use their intelligence in the right place. Just like some children are unwilling to learn and start to get sleepy when it comes to learning problems.
But if you want to play, it’s no problem to stay up all night and for several days.
There are even some children who use their intelligence to deceive their parents, guess and crack the passwords set by their parents, and fight against their parents...
The same goes for Feizhen.
Feizhen used to cheat and be lazy, not because Feizhen didn't know the disadvantages of cheating and being lazy, but because Feizhen clearly knew the benefits, so she would use it as a weapon again and again to get the corresponding benefits from the people around her.
However, since she followed Fei Qian all the way north, when the learning process was no longer pure endorsement and monotonous teaching, and when cheating and laziness did not work at the same time, Fei Zhen gradually began to gain some
Change.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that Feizhen is still relatively young and many things have not yet been completely finalized. As the saying goes, a child is judged older at the age of three and older at the age of seven. This does not mean that a child's life can be determined by the age of three or seven.
When a child is under three years old, it is mainly a period of physical development. If the development is not good, it will affect the child's growth. Around seven years old, the child begins to develop mentally. If it goes astray, it will be affected when he is old.
There are limits to what you can achieve.
Fei Zhen happens to be at this age of mental development, so Fei Qian allows him to get in touch with more people and things, which is exactly in line with his own needs...
After all, even in primary school in later generations, the time to receive formal education is set at the age of seven. It is very important to do what kind of things at what age. Fei Qian still remembers that there were some bricks and beasts in later generations, and at what national level
At the meeting, they declared that they should vigorously strengthen "preschool education"!
What is "preschool"?
And then it’s still “preschool education”?
What can be called "education"?
Isn't it good to say that we should strengthen the number of kindergartens? Kindergarten itself is not a place for serious "education", but then we want to vigorously strengthen and focus on the development of "education"?
Isn’t it okay to simply cultivate daily behavioral habits? So much so that the country later had to issue a document stating that it is strictly prohibited to teach elementary school knowledge content in kindergartens...
Of course, Feizhen is a little older now, but it doesn't matter much. After all, Feizhen had already started to learn scriptures and so on. Now the supplementary lessons Feizhen is giving him are to teach him the knowledge in books.
things other than those.
Things that are too profound, obscure, and gloomy are not suitable for Feizhen now. Maybe he will be gradually exposed to them in the future, but now things like Hedong, which are relatively simple and relatively intuitive, are just right.
It is used as an inspiration for Feizhen's abilities in this area.
This world is inherently unfair. Fei Qian looked at Fei Zhen and confirmed this once again.
When Fei Qian was in elementary school, because both of his parents were working, and the country was calling on him at that time, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his job. Every year, the big red flower certificate was the highest reward, and then there were
He left Fei Qian at school, and sometimes he didn't even have time to cook lunch for Fei Qian. He gnawed on some sour steamed buns and drank some cold water, which was a meal, let alone teaching Fei Qian some ways of dealing with others.
This gave Fei Qian the opportunity to learn knowledge beyond books.
All the knowledge outside of books was acquired by Fei Qian through his own personal experiences in society.
As for things like "set a small goal first", "young people should try more", etc., don't even think about it, because Feiqian doesn't have the capital to tolerate mistakes...
But now, all the people involved in this incident in Hedong have become the materials used by Fei Qian to teach Feizhen, allowing Feizhen to try to think, try to operate, and try to grow from it.
The fragrance of tea lingered, and Fei Qian drank slowly.
"Father!" Feizhen suddenly jumped up and said excitedly, "I figured it out!"
