Fei Qian was a little surprised when he received the news that Cao Cao was conducting a large-scale crackdown on officials and spies.
Pigeon Express, the mission must be fulfilled.
It's a pity that those eyeliners can't be packed up at once and sent back to Chang'an by express delivery...
In history, Cao Cao seems to have never done anything like this.
I don’t know if such a change should be considered a good thing or a bad thing.
But in any case, the actions of hunting down spies under Cao Cao's rule did bring certain dangers to Fei Qian's informants sent to Cao Cao's side.
"I have ordered that those who have not been exposed should hide for a while and do not act rashly," Fei Qian told Pang Tong, "I guess what the Prime Minister did is just a gust of wind and cannot last long... In addition, let Changshan Taiyuan, Tongguan Hangu
, Wuguan Wancheng is ready to mobilize some capable soldiers. If necessary, small troops can be dispatched to respond. Well, just in the name of patrolling and hunting..."
Pang Tong nodded and took note.
Now there is only so much Fei Qian can do for these guys.
"By the way, Derun," Fei Qian was silent for a while, hesitating a little, but he still turned to Kan Ze and said, "If someone is really arrested, most of them will be transferred to Xu County and thrown into prison for strict interrogation."
...If he is lax and involves too much, so that others are in danger...On the one hand, the relevant people must be notified in time, and on the other hand..."
Kanze understood and responded with his hands raised: "I should inform you of the action and make people ready."
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
Such an order may cause some people to die, but it will also protect the survival of some people.
Fei Qian has to think about issues like this almost every day, and sometimes has to give up some, including some of his own original cognitions and emotions.
Directly send troops to support Cao Cao's rule?
Like Saving Soldiers?
Even rice dogs know that this thing is a movie. In the future, millions of rice bugs will die in the United States, and they don’t even move their brows. How can they still expect that what is shown in the movie is true?
Of course I will do it to save people.
But there is a degree.
It's like the humane spirit that existed in ancient China.
"When both father and son are in the army, the father will return home; when both brothers are in the army, the older brother will return home; when an only son has no brothers, he will return home to support himself." The battle still needs to be fought, and it does not mean that everyone should go home for the sake of so-called "humanitarianism."
This was said by Wei Wuji, recorded in historical records, and later often used by Chinese generals in other eras.
China has always had such a spirit, but it is not as loud as the United States. In fact, it is not better than the United States knowing that all three brothers have served in the army and pretending to be stupid and sending them to the battlefield? The so-called adaptation of real events is
The fact that the three brothers all went to the battlefield is true. As for the following ones, they are adapted.
So I have to admire that in some aspects, the United States has long suppressed China in the spiritual battlefield. And after being beaten all over, some people in China actually developed Stockholm Syndrome...
Fei Qian believes that this is due to a lack of education.
In addition, some people will intentionally or unintentionally overgeneralize, grasp a little problem and magnify it infinitely, and then talk about some facts instead of facts to confuse the facts...
Just like rescuing these people, naturally they will do it, but there will always be people who say why not send a plane? After sending a plane, some people say that my husband, my father, I have a certain position, and I have to give priority to civilians.
Why should a pariah be in front of me...
Officials are always a very important part of politics.
Human civilization is always progressing through continuous development, and China is no exception. In this process, outstanding talents are an indispensable part of the development process, so a good talent training and selection system is particularly important.
.
Cultivation involves the education system.
Selection is naturally related to the bureaucracy.
The education system will affect the bureaucracy, and similarly, the bureaucracy will also affect the education system. So in later generations, it often seems to be a matter of academic cliques, beasts, teacher ethics, or books, but
In fact, it involves more than just the education system.
What Fei Qian wants to do now is build a system.
The bureaucratic system also includes the educational system.
China has a long history and culture. In order to ensure that outstanding talents can continue to contribute to the construction of the country, all dynasties have been constantly exploring and improving the talent selection system.
From the early hereditary system and the imperial examination system to the imperial examination system in the Han Dynasty, to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and later the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they are all the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors.
Just like when you are full after eating the last steamed bun, you scold the previous steamed buns as parallel imports. Without the exploration and research of generations of ancestors, who can know what model should be used to select talents?
Fei Qian wanted to implement the imperial examination system earlier. Because the imperial examination system was proven to be effective and had a huge influence on China, it was a talent selection system that was continued to be used even in later generations.
To enlighten the people, it is easy to shout slogans but difficult to implement them in practice.
To a certain extent, the imperial examination opened up people's wisdom to a certain extent.
Knowledge was originally monopolized, and has always been attempted to be monopolized.
King Wen of Zhou killed the witches and allowed the knowledge to "open up the people's wisdom" from the witches and reach the hands of the nobles.
Then the aristocrats of the Spring and Autumn Period tried to monopolize knowledge, and then Qin Shihuang came on stage and beat the old aristocrats of the Six Kingdoms until they could no longer take care of themselves, thus causing knowledge to move from the aristocrats to more aristocratic families...
Fei Qian believes that if nothing else happens, the expansion of knowledge, that is, "opening up people's wisdom", is such a repetitive development, evolution and diffusion. Not only is the currently controlled class constantly trying to monopolize, constantly greedy to absorb excess profits, but at the same time it is
Demanded by a wider scope, at a certain irreconcilable moment, huge conflicts broke out. The original monopoly class was killed, overthrown, and hung on street lamps, and then expanded to a wider area, and then gradually
New ones grew out of the ruins, more numerous than the previous group, and a new monopoly class emerged.
This is the process of "opening up people's wisdom" that Fei Qian confirmed.
And this process is irreversible. It is similar to entropy increase.
Because humans are curious.
So in later generations, those who have monopoly on knowledge and control the media will simply use junk information, boring videos, and the push of big data to occupy the time that humans should originally acquire knowledge through curiosity to delay this "entropy increase."
process".
But some people will still wake up. Not everyone is willing to lie flat, even if they say they want to lie flat, or even spread out...
Fei Qian asked Kan Ze to do something, and then asked Pang Tong to convene a meeting with some core people.
At least, among the people surrounding Fei Qian at the moment, no one was lying flat.
"After the spring plowing, the imperial examination must be implemented in all counties." Fei Qian said slowly, "Only if the imperial examination system is established in counties and counties, can this move last long."
Fei Qian first made a general request, and then explained: "The reason why the former Qin defeated the six countries was that military titles were the most important thing. All the people of Qin competed for the first place, but only the princes of the six countries competed for the first place."
Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. The system of the Qin Dynasty at that time was the realistic OnLine version of the upgraded version of everyone fighting monsters.
After pushing down small monsters, then elite monsters, and then knocking down six big bosses, Qin Shihuang once wanted to find the next target of the Xiongnu, but unfortunately he failed to successfully transfer the battlefield...
In different stages of history, the individual rulers are different, and the concept of "people", or its scope of understanding, is always shaking and changing.
Just like in later generations, when people grew up under a red flag, some officials would naturally blurt out words such as "untouchable" and "difficult people".
When you find one cockroach in your home, it often means there are more than one. Killing one cockroach is not difficult, but getting rid of cockroaches from your home becomes more difficult.
What Fei Qian can do is to talk more thoroughly with these top think tanks at the beginning, and then make the protective net stronger, and then leave some methods that can be reinforced, prevented, and repaired.
, as for what it will ultimately be like thousands of years later, Fei Qian doesn’t know.
"During the Pre-Qin Dynasty, they used Guanzhong, Sichuan and Shu to support their army, and fought against the six kingdoms. The people could not get millet and wine, and the king could not get new clothes..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Now Hangu is used to occupy Shandong. Not to mention you guys,
Even if the people can drink wine and have clothes for the New Year, may I ask, why?"
Xun You said: "This is due to the difference in yield per mu. Guanzi said, "A farmer needs to cultivate a hundred acres all year round, and the harvest from a hundred acres is only twenty minutes." The land of Qilu is richer than Qin.
If this is the case, how much more so in the pre-Qin period when there was no Zheng Guoqu?"
Pang Tong, who was on the other side, also said: "The Qin Dynasty opened the Zhengguo Canal and irrigated more than 40,000 hectares of land, and harvested every acre of it. It was regarded as a grand event and was used for writing. However, now there are many areas of Guanzhong, Longyou, Hedong, Sichuan, Shu and Han
There are tens of thousands of hectares in each, and this is the difference between upper and lower."
Fei Qian nodded slowly.
The rest of the people basically agreed with this statement.
Since there are no specific documents, it is impossible to know how much the output per mu was in ancient China, but it was certainly not much. Firstly, the grain cultivation system has not yet been established, and secondly, the production tools are still very low.
There are only rough descriptions in ancient times. For example, there is a record in "Mencius": "A man has a hundred acres and a hundred acres of dung. The upper farmer feeds nine people, the last farmer eats eight people, the middle farmer eats seven people, the middle farmer feeds six people, and the lower farmer feeds six people."
Five people."
There are almost identical records in the Book of Rites, indicating that during the Spring and Autumn Period, this yield standard was probably widely recognized. Calculated based on a medium-sized field, the yield was about 80 to 110 kilograms.
Of course, this is tare weight.
In ancient China, if the harvest was shelled, 20%-30% of the weight would be lost.
The standard recorded by Mencius was in Qilu, which was a place with relatively flat terrain and convenient irrigation. At that time, the Qin State was Xirong, which was mostly nomadic and had no Zheng Guo Canal. Bronze vessels were mainly used as weapons.
Most farmers can only use wooden sticks, shovels, etc...
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chinese agriculture underwent revolutionary changes, which were mainly reflected in the comprehensive development of iron cattle farming and irrigation agriculture. During this period, many major irrigation projects were built in various countries, such as the Hangou dug by the Wu State.
The chasm dug by King Wei Hui of Wei State, the Twelve Canals of Zhangshui River built under the leadership of Ximen Bao of Wei State, Dujiangyan in Shu County of Qin State, Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong of Qin State, Lingqu Canal in Lingnan of Qin Dynasty, Shaopi Project of Chu State, etc. Iron ox
The development of farming and irrigation has greatly improved agricultural productivity, which is directly reflected in the increase in average grain yield.
By the early Han Dynasty, it was basically one stone per acre, or even one and a half stones.
Fei Qian asked: "If this is the case, how can the land increase its yield?"
"Haha, this is the four things of planting, fertilizer, irrigation, and plowing that can be increased, and the four of cultivating, weeding, harvesting, and plowing can be detracted from it." Zao Zhi was of course very familiar with this, and he said with a crackle.
Fei Qian nodded again, and then asked: "In this case, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when various countries built water conservancy and developed mulberry farming, was it for the people? For war? During the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the art of water conservancy and mulberry farming was highly valued.
?Or why should you take it lightly?"
Everyone started thinking.
Is there an answer to this question? It’s not that there is none, but it’s hard to answer.
After all, the slogans were loud and loud before.
"Therefore, the country must not forget war. It is war in heaven and earth, war inside and outside." Fei Qian said slowly, "Only when we know there is war can we focus on agriculture, mulberry and water conservancy. Only when we understand the benefits and disadvantages can we work together to move forward."
"The Duke of Zhoutian and Jingtian was almost private in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The laws of the former Qin Dynasty could defeat the armies of the six kingdoms, but they were defeated by the people of the six kingdoms. Therefore, those who win the army will be easy, and those who rebel against the people will be ignored." Fei Qian looked at it.
Everyone, "So what is meant by the passage of time and what is meant by advancing with the times? This is the reason. People in ancient times plowed with slashes and fire, but now oxen plows with iron plows, how can it be the same? The people in ancient times were in trouble, there was no land left, and the officials should do nothing.
, to avoid chaos, now the people can have enough food and clothing, and they will think about honor and disgrace. This is the general trend and cannot be stopped. In ancient times, when people were cultivating with swords, they had no clothes to wear and no food to eat. The people of this world should have no food.
Is this what people want?”
"The imperial examination is also what the people want. If you go against it, you will perish, but if you go with it, you will survive." Fei Qian concluded, "Since the Han Dynasty, if the tillers have their fields, the country will be peaceful and the people are safe, the world will be peaceful, the Wenjing rule will be restored, and the Guangwu will be revived.
It's not like this. Now Guanzhong is victorious over Shandong. It's not because the people of Guanzhong have the ability to be first. It's just because the people of Guanzhong are vying for the first place. In Shandong, only the sons of wealthy families are vying for the first place..."
It is difficult for Fei Qian to popularize a clear theory of productivity and production relations to these people in the Han Dynasty. After all, when Fei Qian was receiving education, it took him a long time to barely understand related issues such as the force and reaction force of productivity and production relations.
, then how can we expect people like Han Han who have no relevant concepts at all to be able to suddenly understand and draw analogies by speaking two or three words?
Therefore, Fei Qian can only extend it from the most basic, that is, what these people can directly observe, to the imperial examination system, and the imperial examination system was indeed gradually born due to the development of productive forces...
The imperial examination is the political pursuit of a large number of children from poor families.
A poor family is not really poor, but a small landowner.
The historical imperial examination system came into being in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the emergence of a system must have certain conditions. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the landlord economy developed rapidly. In the process from war to stability, the society was stable, the economy was prosperous, and the country was prosperous. In such an environment,
, the small landowners began to yearn for politics after their basic life was satisfied.
In order to ensure that one's own interests are not arbitrarily deprived of by upper-level political groups, political representatives will inevitably be produced, and political interests will be required to be tilted...
This is often seen even in later generations.
Well, this refers to the United States.
The meaning expressed by Fei Qian is not complicated. It is that the times are developing and no one wants to go back to the ancient times and live the hard life.
The same goes for officials.
After becoming an official, who still thinks that he belongs to the "people" and is willing to go back and become a "people"? Except for those few great men and a small number of officials with high faith values, I believe that most of the officials were beaten to death
Neither want to.
Feiqian is no exception.
This is also true for Pang Tong, Xun You, Sima Yi, etc.
Sometimes you will live if you take a step forward, but you will die if you take a step back.
Xiong Da has explained everything with his body.
Chinese people are good at summarizing.
The big man only has three legs: Qingliu, Qingliu, and Eunuch. If one of his legs fails, the big man will crook and fall down.
The rulers of the Sui and Tang Dynasties saw the lessons learned from the past and felt that it was necessary to have many feet to be stable. Therefore, a large number of small landowners began to yearn for political power and began to pursue a more detailed and stable life. With the joint efforts of the top and bottom, the imperial examination
The examination system came into being.
Those original monopolies were put on the street.
Because the emergence of the imperial examination system broke down the previous sectarian views, some people, even if they were born in poverty, could still obtain political status by relying on their true talents and knowledge. It was no longer the case that the aristocratic children could dominate the world with one hand.
The interview system of this system allows children from poor families to see the future, have hope in their hearts, and avoid despair. At the same time, the officials who pass the examination also have certain talents. Even if they are from a humble background, they can turn over with their own efforts.
The phenomenon of unfairness is relatively reduced, and the accumulated resentment among the people will also be reduced, thus bringing certain benefits to the overall stability of society.
In the eyes of rulers, if they want to stabilize society, prevent people from rioting, and threaten their ruling status, they must come up with a way that can convince everyone. This is the case with the imperial examination system.
Fei Qian wanted to prevent the Wei and Jin crises from happening again in China, not by killing Sima Yi, but by establishing a novel talent selection method, that is, the imperial examination.
The guiding force of the imperial examination is undoubtedly huge, so Confucianism also relies on the imperial examination to continue to flourish.
What Fei Qian has to do now is to unify his thoughts and let these people spread this thought on his behalf before the imperial examination begins. He also needs to mix in agriculture, industry, and related matters at the very beginning of the imperial examination.
Industrial examination methods and relevant systems should be formulated to prevent the imperial examination from jumping on one leg and going astray.
"In March, Gongda was in charge of You Fufeng, and Zijing was in charge of the imperial examinations in the counties of Longxi, Longyou." Fei Qian assigned tasks, "Zhongda, Shangjun Beidi in Hedong, and Ziyu went to Hanzhong. As for Shangdang Taiyuan, Liang Dao was still
Take responsibility, Sichuan and Shu asked Yuan Zhi to arrange..."
"Everyone," Fei Qian said with a serious face, "I am here to supervise the imperial examination system, which is of course a very important task. However, it is also your important responsibility to gather the bosses from all over the counties and villages to make them know the wonders of the imperial examination and comply with the principles of heaven and earth...
