Chapter 2879 Water and soil, continuation of the same old routine
"Longyou, as Wen He said, there are few people."
Fei Qian sat on his horse and headed west.
The rest of the journey will not be so rushed.
He was rushing so hard before because Fei Qian also needed to personally test and experience whether this "highway", or a "straight road" similar to Qin Shihuang's back then, could be achieved.
As a centralized feudal dynasty, an important part of its ability to expand its territory is that the larger the area directly covered by the strong central military force, the more powerful the dynasty will naturally become.
Before the advent of steam engines, cavalry was the strongest land force and a quick reaction force.
After Feiqian sorted out the bills along the way and re-examined the changes brought about by the new logistics model, he found that this path is indeed very good and effective, but it can actually save some...
Because Jia Xu knew that Fei Qian would come with someone, and it was not just a trip, but at least a round trip, so he made good preparations, whether it was in the Anding area near Guanzhong, or in Zhangye and other places in the Western Regions.
The specifications and facilities of the ground, the military camp, or the small military station are basically similar, and there are no flaws.
However, this also results in higher overall costs.
As an important corridor connecting the Western Regions and Guanzhong, Jia Xu's dense arrangement of such support military stations is not a big problem from a certain perspective, but if those are not very important, or are relatively complicated and rugged
It is obviously unreasonable for the roads in the district to be so densely constructed.
Jia Xu also agrees with this.
Moreover, Jia Xu also raised a very critical issue, which is also an old problem in Longyou, that is, there are few people.
In other words, what Fei Qian had just agreed with was that there were indeed few people.
Water resources are scarce in this place, so the land is barren.
Because the land is barren, large-scale crops cannot be grown.
Because without large-scale planting, it would be impossible to support a high-density population.
This is a real problem, and Feiqian really can't change it.
The spirit of Foolish Old Man who moved the mountains is advisable, but his behavior is not advisable. When the mountains cannot help people, people can climb out of the mountains and bring back a team of excavators. Isn't it better than making baskets at home? Of course.
, the key is to come back, otherwise after driving the excavator outside the mountain, you will be happy and ignorant, and it is not just Liu Chan.
"The migration policy can only be used temporarily and cannot be sustained for generations." Jia Xu said at the side. He did not agree with large-scale migration of inland people. "In the time of Xiaowu, they moved to the Central Plains to fill in the borders, but there were many mistakes...
』
Fei Qian nodded and said: "The method of migration can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause. If we want to cure the root cause, we still have to look at the Qiang people."
"Qiang people?" Jia Xu frowned.
Migrating Qiang people?
Fei Qian nodded, "Yes, Qiang people. But they are not migrating..."
Sometimes you need to open your eyes a little bit.
"Water is an ordinary thing..." Seeing that Jia Xu didn't understand, Fei Qian said slowly, "If you don't have water, you will die in three days. If there is water but no food, you can live for seven days. With food and water, you will die."
, but you’ll be safe for a hundred days.』
This is common sense, or in most cases accurate knowledge.
A question mark appeared on Jia Xu's head.
Fei Qian tilted his head slightly and glanced at Jia Xu, "There is some new research from Chang'an Agricultural College... I will have someone send a copy to Wen He to see... mainly the water Zhuang He needs..."
"Water?" Jia Xu blinked. This is an area that he has not touched at all. Even though he is extremely intelligent and has the top wisdom of a big man, he still seems to be unable to grasp the key points.
"Water and soil... One side of water and soil can support one side of people... Rice mostly grows in the south, and wheat grows in the north. This is water and soil. Farm crops are like this, and people are like this," Fei Qian stretched out his hand and waved it up and down.
"Wen He, you need to look in another direction...look from the bottom up...we used to look from the top down most of the time, now we might as well look in the other direction..."
"The other way around?" Jia Xu seemed to be thinking about something.
Fei Qian glanced at Jia Xu.
In fact, this is also a problem reflected on the Longyou Military "Highway".
When Jia Xu formulated these military stations, his main basis was military needs. Therefore, some of the military stations were actually in relatively remote areas, with no human habitation for more than ten or even twenty or thirty miles around. Although this was a great supplement
And it facilitates military needs, but it also puts a lot of pressure on subsequent replenishment of such military depots.
If we consider it from the grassroots level, then the military depots will extend outward along important towns. Then in these uninhabited areas, the layout of some military depots will be relatively reduced. On the other hand, it will add additional burden to the surrounding towns until the population increases.
, and then consider the issue of outward extension.
This is like the settlement and migration of Han people.
At a certain period, border patrols are necessary, just like military stations. If it were not decided and organized by the upper levels, such a military "highway" would not naturally appear in ten or twenty years. However,
If there are problems in the process, but turn a blind eye, or talk about what can be "overcome", "ignored", "endured", or "suffered", this kind of person is often not
Stupid is bad.
What is "temporary" "endurance" or "suffering"? Then turn a blind eye to the problems in front of you and clamor that "tomorrow" will be better and the "future" will be sweeter?
Well, some people will believe it at first.
However, I said the year before last was the most difficult, and you will be fine if you get through it.
Last year I said that last year was the most difficult, if you get through it you will be fine.
This year I am still saying that this year is the most difficult, and the future will be...
What else can we say next year?
No matter how short the memory of the people is, it’s not like they can’t remember it every year, right?
Anyone who doesn’t talk about the specific time of patience and doesn’t specify the temporary period is similar to the Buddha’s theory, isn’t it?
This life is karma and suffering, but the next life will be wonderful.
So in this life, everyone deserves to suffer?
Oh, it's not "everyone". After all, there are still a group of people who don't need to "overcome" or "endure" to enjoy the happiness and sweetness of the moment. After all, these people have practiced cultivation in the previous life and only have the blessings in this life.
.right?
There were obvious problems with the border migration strategy of the Han Dynasty.
The first wave of people migrating from the interior were five kinds of "sinners". The laws of the feudal dynasty were so simple and crude. If someone said they were guilty, they were guilty. But the ministers who could think of migrating the so-called "sinners" to the border
, gentry elites, what thoughts and purposes do these people have?
Perhaps to a certain extent, he wanted to protect the "innocent" people outside the five "sinners", but in fact are these "sinners" really sinners? The "innocent" people he protected, and
Is it really Chunliang?
Moreover, for the migration to the border areas, Feiqian will also send officials here to make arrangements for the early, middle and late stages. But who knew this at the beginning? And who will go back to do it? It's like leaving grass seeds on the ground casually, can it be done?
It all depends on luck, so the effect of migration can temporarily support the Western Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu. This is not because these upper-class feudal rulers who formulated strategies are smart, but because the people of the Chinese nation are able to endure hardships!
Otherwise, would you try it with another ethnic group?
But just because the people of China are so kind, you don’t have to bully them!
If all the good guys are bullied to the point of death, what will be left? Either good guys who have become dark, or pure bad guys. By then, everyone will be happy?
This is what Fei Qian wants to tell Jia Xu.
The people in power in the feudal dynasty, especially those at the top, such as the emperor, must stand with the people at the lowest level, otherwise...
When the emperor of a feudal dynasty forgot his position and began to mix with the ministers in the middle, the dynasty began to perish. This has been proven several times in history, and Fei Qian certainly would not let this go.
"Learning from the past" and turning a blind eye.
The military station can be regarded as a small-scale migration, but even a small-scale migration requires strategy.
Fei Qian had considered this issue before, but he had always been disturbed by this or that matter and had not thought about it or explored it specifically. It was not until this time that the Western Region incident broke out that Fei Qian
Suddenly I remembered this question that I may have considered several times before, but didn't think deeply enough about it.
Amid the chaos in the Western Region, a situation occurred that Fei Qian had not expected at all.
Not Lu Bu, but Buddha.
Fei Qian had made preparations for the Western Regions before, but in this preparation, the only thing Fei Qian did not fully consider was Buddhism in the Western Regions.
How did a false hope confuse so many people?
This is a big problem.
Fei Qian cannot solve them all, but he can try to solve some of them.
After all, in the final analysis, it is all a human problem.
Jia Xu glanced slightly at Fei Qian's face, cupped his hands and said, "What my lord said is true. People are like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
This is the view of the old Xun family in the Spring and Autumn Period, so it is not surprising that Jia Xu understood it immediately.
Fei Qian snorted, "The difference between the big Han people in the Western Regions is like Jing and Wei. When we first see the difference, what happens next? When the river rushes into the sea, can we distinguish between Jing and Wei? That's why Lu Fengxian's move was to massacre the Buddhist kingdom."
, The act of killing the people is absurd. What the people can use should be used, and should not be destroyed easily."
Jia Xu sighed, paused for a moment, and sighed again, "If Brother Wenyou were here, just based on the Lord's words, it would be obvious."
Jia Xu was very emotional.
Li Ru and Jia Xu were both Han Chinese, but there was a time when they were not human beings inside and out.
The Han people in Shandong felt that people like Li Ru and Jia Xu were no longer Han people, and expelled them from the Han nationality.
The Qiang and other minority tribes also feel that people like Li Ru and Jia Xu cannot be considered their people...
In fact, both Li Ru and Jia Xu accepted the culture of the Han family and lived and grew up in the land of Longxi. Why should they be tolerated by both parties? The Han people think that Li Ru and Jia Xu are the
Even in history, when Jia Xu was able to accumulate merits and ascend to the Three Sophora Palaces, and assumed the position of the Three Lords, some people would still whisper below, saying that Jia Xu was not qualified to be the Three Lords at all. The reason was not
Jia Xu's wisdom and ability, but dislike his origin!
People in Shandong believe that a position is not determined by ability, but by origin!
The key is that this concept can be recognized by many Shandong people and even people from other places...
In fact, one's origin is a circle.
The political groups of the feudal dynasty were already accustomed to having a circle to protect themselves. Those with vested interests also did not want more people to share the pork. Therefore, these upper-level guys would consciously build an information cocoon for the lower levels to induce
The lower class people were divided into various circles, and then they were like beasts locked in cages, fighting, biting, and killing each other...
This can ensure that these fighting beasts will not spend all day thinking about opening the cage or hanging someone from the street lamp.
What Jia Xu lamented was that Fei Qian was more tolerant than ordinary rulers.
It tolerates Han people and also tolerates Qiang people.
It also tolerates people with disabilities.
Even now that Lu Bu has disrupted the Western Region, Fei Qian is still able to think calmly, and seems to be looking at the future all the time, looking for the direction, instead of opening his mouth to talk about anger or boredom.
and related words that tend to express emotional catharsis.
This is a characteristic of a leader that Jia Xu has never encountered before.
Not even Cao Cao could do it.
When Li Ru worked as a logistics agent for Lu Bu and opened up the Western Regions, it was not for any so-called meritorious service, but to prove the broader world that Fei Qian had described before.
Now before Li Ru died, he did lift a corner of the curtain, and the current disputes in the Western Regions have proved from another perspective that the West does have a broader land and a more fertile country.
The "highway" model now used for military purposes will naturally be built in the Western Regions in the future.
"My lord, but..." Even though Fei Qian said this, Jia Xu still said with some concern, "If we use barbarians as a stronghold... I might be tempted to use them as leverage..."
Fei Qian turned his head and glanced at Jia Xu, "Wen He, you are too cautious."
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his eyes to look at Fei Qian, only to see that Fei Qian seemed to have just said this casually.
Did you really say it casually?
Jia Xu didn't believe it.
Because Jia Xu is so cautious. He is like a thousand-year-old bastard. He is not sure that there is really no danger in the outside world, so he will never stick his head out easily. Just like Jia Xu clearly knows that there is a problem in the Western Regions,
I also know some things about Lu Bu in the Western Regions, but Jia Xu never takes the initiative to report them. At most, he just takes a hand, such as delivering the matters reported in the Western Regions to Guanzhong.
It's like Jia Xu clearly had ten thousand ideas in mind at the moment, but he didn't say anything. He had to wait until Fei Qian asked several times before one came out from his stomach...
But the question is, does avoiding or hiding or hiding really help solve the problem?
"It is a good thing to be cautious, but it is not necessary to be too cautious. Just like the sage said, if you are wary, you will perish. Therefore, some people say that a country should not engage in war. This is a good thing. However, why it should be fought is not mentioned at all.
, in the end, no one can fight, and anyone who talks about fighting will be guilty." Fei Qian said slowly, "Since ancient times, when has there been no war in the world? If you don't talk about war, does it mean that there are no thieves in the world?"
Sometimes people are very contradictory, just like the small group of people in Guanzhong. Some time ago, some people in Guanzhong asked why Fei Qian didn't go to Shandong? Not to go to Shandong is a waste of time, place, people, and stupidity.
The combination of benzene and stupidity...
And now some people are saying why Fei Qian wants to fight in the Western Regions? Fighting in the Western Regions is warlike, wasteful, just another stupid combination of benign and stupid, etc...
Fei Qian sometimes finds it very interesting.
The people of Shandong are more or less from the Han Dynasty, and then a group of people from Guanzhong jumped up and down, saying that they should start quickly, the sooner the better, the faster the better, the heavier the better, and then turned around to deal with the Western Regions, which for the time being was not considered
Let's go to the mainland of Han Dynasty, and then there is a group of people in Guanzhong who are chirping, saying that they should not care so much about external affairs. It is thankless and it is okay to get by. If you are willing to fight, you will die. What is the point of winning this kind of war...
I wonder if this pair of internal and external faces is also a fine tradition of the Han Dynasty?
Jia Xu's eyes suddenly condensed.
"What the sages said was originally well-intentioned, but the literary thieves stole it." Fei Qian said slowly, "But when the literary thieves speak, where is the courage and courage of the literary people? It is certainly appropriate to be kind, but do you not know what is good or evil?"
A small thief can lead to great disaster, just like Bian Que's technique, the wound will still be injured after healing."
Jia Xu sighed, "I am guilty."
Fei Qian waved his hand and said: "Wrong again. I am not blaming you for this. I am just saying someone's fault, and I will encourage you to do it. There is no law to punish and punish. This is a taboo. It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.
, so there should be laws to determine right and wrong. In the past Qin law, if anyone saw atrocities and avoided them, he would be guilty of the same crime, so he would be brave when he saw justice. Today there is no such law in the Han Dynasty, so he can stand by and watch the crowd. Therefore, laws should be used to promote courage, and
It is not by virtue of courage that one offends the law."
"If you are willing to fight, you will die. We should discuss the pros and cons, and the pros and cons should be put into practice, so this is the account..." Fei Qian pointed to the ledgers tied behind the guards, "Or we can investigate it on the spot.
...It is a sin only for those who only stand to speak of the superior and end the path of the world with just one word."
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "What my lord said is true. I will be taught by you. Nowadays, the Qiang people are mostly settled, and then they have transformed themselves. According to the lord's policy, we promote the settlement through business, consolidate the people through settlement, teach them the Chinese language, and recruit their elite..."
…Three generations later, we will be Han.”
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
Isn’t this great? This model is still used in later generations.
Among civilizations, it is also the law of the jungle that preys on the strong.
If you cannot uphold your own civilization, it will inevitably be replaced by the civilization of others. If you want to uphold your own civilization, you must have your own language and writing, and have your own core values condensed from your own thoughts.
Jia Xu obviously had some ideas, but just now he was pretending to be stupid.
"Forced migration will inevitably lead to resentment. Therefore, the Han should be regarded as noble, and people will come to be noble. But where does the noble come from? In terms of strength, who will win the Han and Qiang? They can only win with wisdom. Understand the rules.
"When dealing with disputes and holding a balance, you can display the wisdom of the Han Dynasty to show its value." Fei Qian said, "But if you want to put wisdom on the outside, you should learn it from within, know the law, and understand the truth... This is not the way to do it."
Strength is more valuable, but civilization is more valuable...Those who are strong will eventually decline, but the wisdom of civilization can be passed down from generation to generation..."
To put it simply, we should put aside the so-called "invasion" remarks, and instead hold high the banner of "freedom" to express that the great Han came to help those tribes and countries that are full of contradictions, class conflicts, and low primitive technology.
Let’s work together towards the bright future...
Jia Xu laughed and said, "My lord, do you want to meet Ajiesha?"
Fei Qian pondered and nodded, "Okay, but not now. A little further..."
