Chapter 3237 Save the wonderful prescription for healing the country for later use
Wang Meng was startled by the scene in front of him.
In the ditch in front of me, stretching along the direction of the folds of the earth slope, there are densely built shacks. These shacks are also packed with people. When you take a look, there are dense
People suffering from the disease should not fall ill and die on the spot.
When there are more people, the invisible pressure rises straight up.
"Go forward!"
The voices of the hussars standing on the slope were hoarse, but they were still shouting with some fatigue, guiding Wang Meng's queue forward.
On the slope of the earth, several officials who looked obviously depressed but were holding on strong came over, and then used every opportunity to disperse Wang Meng and others to various shacks.
Wang Meng saw wooden signs nailed to the pillars of each shack with the word "正" on them, which were obviously used for counting. Judging from the "zheng" characters on the wooden signs, most of the shacks had thirty
There are many people.
Just like the shack that Wang Meng was assigned.
Wang Meng, who was holding his luggage, sat down on a small piece of ground given by the man outside. Just when he was about to ask the person next to him something, a half-grown man wearing a number plate came over from a distance carrying a bamboo basket.
.
"New here? Here, take it."
A pair of hands that were neither clean nor dirty stretched out in front of Wang Meng.
Wang Meng subconsciously took the cooking cakes delivered to him, and then watched blankly as the half-grown child walked from shack to shack. The cooking cakes in the basket were quickly decreasing...
Wang Meng's eyes moved slightly. He lowered his head, looked at the cooking cake in his hand, and pinched it.
Very strong.
Although the appearance of this food is a little dark, it is undoubtedly good enough to satisfy your hunger.
On the way to escape, not to mention having such a pancake, even half of it, may cost some lives!
But now, it’s just for free?
Seeing Wang Meng staring at the cooking cake in his hand, but not eating it for a long time, looking left and right, the people on the side seemed to have misunderstood something, so they muttered: "What's wrong? Why are you afraid that others will snatch it? Eat it."
Come on! We took everything when we came here before, no one wants to snatch it from you!』
Subconsciously forming a group is not something difficult to understand. Most people are social animals. Among refugees, especially those who have just entered a small group, they often need to hand over something, the most common of which is food, in order to gain access to the small group.
A certain degree of "protection" for it.
If there is no team protection, if an individual obtains food, it will soon be robbed...
Of course, it is not impossible to rush to eat, but you will most likely be beaten. If you are beaten severely, you may be beaten to death on the spot. So anyone who has been in a refugee pile knows the unspoken rule that if you find food by yourself,
If no one notices it at the time, then whatever you eat is yours, but if there are people around, hiding food is a "felon crime".
"If no one robs you, just eat it, baby!" the elderly man at the entrance of the shack also said.
Wang Meng couldn't help but be stunned,
The fact that no one is robbing does not mean that these people are of good character, but it means that the most basic order has been established here!
Humans are complex creatures.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Yuncheng Basin is not that big, and many refugees have not completely lost their humanity.
When a person completely falls into chaos and completely surrenders his reason to the ravages of madness, no amount of order and rules will be of any use to him.
But this is not just a shack, nor is it just these thirty or so people. They calmed down the refugees so quickly and allowed these people to return to the rules of order. This hussar army is really...
Is this using food and grass to stabilize people's hearts?
If everyone can hold cooking cakes, how much food and grass will be eaten by so many people?
Wang Meng thought he had spied on the realness of Hussar's strategy, so he chuckled, responded, and started eating immediately. He even almost bit his own tongue because he ate too quickly, causing good-natured laughter from the people around him.
The young man on the side kindly took out a bamboo tube and handed it over, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke, give me some water."
Wang Meng nodded repeatedly, took a sip, and poured the food down, "This... this cake is really solid..."
Although there is a lot of wheat bran in the cake and it looks very dark, it is definitely a genuine and good grain, not something rotten and moldy.
"It's not that bad," the elder next to him also said with some regret, "How can I be willing to eat such a good steamed bun on ordinary days? I have this steamed bun for two meals a day. To be honest, I feel uneasy eating it.
...』
"Listen to what this means..." Wang Meng asked, "Two meals a day? Are these all?"
"Yeah, that's right." The elder sighed, a little worried, "Although these steamed buns are good, but... hey... what if, it's not as good as a bowl of gruel..."
Some young people may not understand what the elders mean, but Wang Meng knows it clearly.
If the key is too high at the beginning, it will be even more difficult to sing well later.
It is not easy to satisfy people's hearts. If Hussar cannot supply so much food, some people will be dissatisfied...
That's right.
When these refugees regard the cooking cakes in their hands as deserved, if they suddenly lower their standards and add in the advocacy of thoughtful people, it will definitely cause a commotion. If they are not careful, it will be a disaster!
Aha!
That’s just right!
Wang Meng nodded in agreement on the surface, but in fact he sneered in his heart.
Because of his understanding of the people in Shandong, Wang Meng thought that the Hussars would definitely have many problems after the shortage of food and grass, so there was no need for him to jump out in a hurry. Anyway, he would wait until those greedy guys jumped on their own.
Just a few provocative words, wouldn't it save worry and effort and not be much dangerous?
While Wang Meng was thinking about it, he suddenly saw several people, led by minor officials, arriving in front of a shed.
"Everyone in front, get out of the way! Make way for the doctor!"
After hearing the clerk's cry, the refugees in the shack not far away hurriedly made room.
Wang Meng was almost stunned.
What?
Physician?
Do doctors treat these refugees?
Am I crazy, or is this place crazy?
Although the clerk's face was ugly, as if everyone owed him hundreds of dollars, the doctor was also very simple and did not have any long-term diagnosis. He came out not long after entering the shack.
, he kneaded some powder from the medicine box, mixed a bowl of concoction for the patient to drink, and then left in a hurry. There was no careful treatment at all...
But these are refugees!
Wang Meng was a little confused.
It’s not like Wang Meng has never seen someone giving food to the refugees. After all, the first thing the refugees lack is food. As long as there is food, they will naturally be able to settle down. But it seems that doctors are currently being sent to treat the refugees. That is Wang Meng who has been there since he was a child.
Saw it once...
Shouldn't the refugees be like grassroots, living if they can survive, and dying if they can't?
Medical treatment costs thousands of dollars just for a simple touch. Ordinary people don’t have the money to see a doctor, let alone a refugee!
Could it be some wandering Taoist priest who burns talisman water?
Wang Meng didn't know what he felt in his heart. It was not that he had never been sick, but when he was sick, he could only stay stiff and rely on self-healing. He had no spare money to go to see a doctor, and he even had to drag his body to work, otherwise
At the end of the day, there was nothing to eat. He had not had a doctor to see him for so many years. This...
How can this homeless man be so virtuous that he can be treated by a doctor?!
Definitely a fake doctor!
Foolish!
It must be!
However, on the night of the second day, I don’t know whether it was because the doctor’s medicine was effective, or because the refugees’ drug resistance was too low, or because the grasshoppers had extremely strong vitality. The cheers came from the shack next door.
The sound made Wang Meng's jaw drop, and he couldn't close it for a long time...
…
…
On the side of Pingyang, on the top of Peach Mountain.
In the Shoushan Academy, on the high platform of Mingtang.
Fei Qian sat on the high platform, looking up, with a slightly nostalgic look on his face.
In the Mingtang, there were not only the children of the Hedong gentry who came to Pingyang to bet on Feiqian in these days, but also the children of the academy, doctors, and wine worshipers who originally lived in Taoshan, Pingyang.
Such as Zhongjie, Linghuhui, etc.
These people are basically the so-called "Qingliu" who exist in the land east of the river.
The so-called "Qingliu", in fact, at the beginning, he was not that bad. He could even be said to be a virtuous person who cleansed people's hearts.
The Eastern Han Dynasty may be the source of this "clear stream".
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tai students Guo Tai and Jia Biao joined forces with ministers Li Ying, Chen Fan and others to criticize the government and expose the crimes of the eunuch group, which was called "Qingliu". Later, this kind of spontaneous gathering began in the Han Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty
It existed in the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, similar political schools also appeared.
However, the so-called Qingliu also extends to three words, "Qingyi, Qingtan, empty talk", which are often confused by later generations, but in fact they are not equivalent.
Qingyi first appeared in the late Han Dynasty. The Qingliu people at that time exerted influence on politics by discussing current affairs and criticizing people. Under the dark political reality at that time, Qingyi had a certain role in stimulating the turmoil and promoting the Qing, but there were also gentry children who used it to gain fame and reputation.
.
Pure talk was popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and was relative to talk about common things. It was also called "clear talk". Due to the high pressure of the political environment and the treacherous social atmosphere, the gentry and celebrities at that time could not help but talk.
Talking about state affairs, not people's livelihood, talking exclusively about Lao Zhuang, Zhou Yi, and living in illusion.
Empty talk refers specifically to many things that remain in theory, spread verbally, and have not been practiced. The final result is a war of words between political factions, infighting and wastage in the country, and the result is
The consequences of ruin and decline...
These clear streams in the Han Dynasty were generally not as bad as those in the Song and Ming dynasties, so Fei Qian still wanted to use them.
At least, in the Han Dynasty, these Qingliu were more or less discussing matters, criticizing specific laws, and judging someone based on their words and deeds, unlike in the late Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty, when they were just cliques and did not talk about it.
Whether they are actually correct or not, regardless of their actual character, if they are purely on different sides, they will all be defeated.
If Qingliu in the Han Dynasty could still do some good deeds, then by the end of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Qingliu was basically doing nothing but human affairs.
At this moment, Fei Qian deliberately invited these so-called "clean" people to the scene before the head-on conflict with Cao Cao. The purpose was naturally to point to the political correctness of this battle.
Everyone who came here understood this, and for most of the people present, they were more or less prepared on how to maintain the "justice" of Fei Qian's next war...
War is an extreme form of confrontation of human power, and the stance of war is inseparable from politics.
The pattern of ancient Chinese wars is obviously more civilized.
Although the external expression is a single "benevolence, virtue and righteousness", in fact it contains many contents.
This is not determined by Confucianism, but by China's historical development and environmental needs.
In other words, it was the needs of China that led Confucianism to provide the doctrine.
this point is very important.
Who is the leader and who is the follower, who is the leader and who is the follower? If you are not sure, just settle the matter after the battle, okay, make wedding clothes for others...
Fei Qian obviously would not fight for the sake of the so-called "benevolence" or "righteousness", and he was not willing to let his war be limited by these "benevolence and great righteousness".
When Fei Qian was meditating, naturally no one dared to disturb him. Even if everyone was sitting in the audience, they didn't dare to make any noise.
Qingliu needs to be used, but how to use it well is a big problem.
Just like the self-media of later generations, it obviously has a role in supervising public opinion for the ruling officials, but how to use it better, instead of spreading it randomly and fending for itself, is obviously a question that tests the ability of the ruling officials.
China has a vast territory, complex terrain, and is divided into various naturally closed areas by mountains, rivers, and rivers.
Even if we don’t talk about the three hundred miles of Guanzhong and the eight gates of Qinchuan, we can look at the mountains rising eastward from the snow-covered plateau. Under the layers of mountains, they form the Sichuan-Sichuan Basin, a rich land of fish and rice.
Walking on the plank road across mountains and ridges, you need to take a boat to go upstream from the east. The mountains and rivers in Shanxi, the valleys and hills in South Vietnam, the coastal estuaries in Jiaozhi, and the plateaus in Yunnan and Guizhou. Surrounded by complex geography, China has been a
One block after another has been constructed.
Throughout China, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, every country and county has different customs. If we rely solely on violent conquest, it is far from enough to maintain long-term unity. Therefore, what is needed is imagination in the political system and social and cultural aspects.
Continuously updated, military power can only serve as a guarantee and an auxiliary, but cannot become an absolute unit.
After a long time, Fei Qian looked around and slowly spoke.
"Dingkou is the foundation of the country."
"Ding means tax. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, Ding has paid taxes, so it is very important."
"Since ancient times, sages and emperors have always attached great importance to this. The income from taxes is the cornerstone of the country, where food and clothing are provided, and where soldiers and armor are produced. Therefore, those who govern the country must review the number of taxes and live within their means to support the world."
"How about a word from your mouth?"
"Everyone knows that if you want the country to be peaceful and the people to be safe, you must correct your speech so that it can live where it wants and live what it needs. If you speak too much, you will have a small number of people, but if you have a few words, your power will be weak. Therefore, those who are good at politics are not only more important than Ding Fu, but also more important.
Mouth support. This is the key to governing the country and ensuring peace."
Fei Qian said, then smiled, "Of course, if you know what you know, you should do it."
The population problem is obviously a problem faced by all societies in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucius lamented: "The tyranny is as fierce as a tiger, the etiquette has collapsed and the country is in mourning!"
Fei Qian's smile became even brighter, "I dare to ask you, do you know that after Confucius lamented, can good government exist in the world? I know that Confucius had a theory of governing with virtue, but can there be something similar to managing business in the democratic system? Ding
What should we do with our opinions?"
Yes, there is a special chapter in Confucius' "The Analects" about "doing politics", but is this chapter...
For example, Confucius said, "When I was fifteen, I was committed to learning; when I was thirty, I was established; when I was forty, I was not confused; when I was fifty, I knew the destiny of heaven; when I was sixty, my ears were obedient; when I was seventy, I followed my heart's desires without going beyond the rules."
This sentence is from the chapter "Wei Zheng", and does this sentence have anything to do with the word "Government by virtue"?
It's probably "the salt I've eaten on the road I've walked on", something like this, so you young people should listen to my advice of "knowing destiny"...
It has to be said that Confucius has very important ideological guidance on the need for "benevolence" for those in power, and it is also the foundation of the entire Confucianism. In other words, the meaning of Confucianism is to help those in power "benevolence and virtue"
’ to govern the country.
Well, this is just what Confucius believed, the meaning of the existence of Confucianism, and the corresponding qualified rulers.
Because history has shown very clearly that Confucius' idealization does not exist at all. Whether it is a king or a Confucian disciple, there are indeed people who can be called "benevolence", but most of them are not the same as "benevolence".
It doesn't matter, he's just doing dirty things under a layer of clothing.
In some theories of later generations, the rise and fall of a dynasty are often attributed to the feudal monarchy, social corruption, land annexation, etc. This does have some truth, but these conclusions are often oversimplified, so that many things in them are ignored.
Missing, covered up.
For example, why at the beginning of the feudal dynasty, the kings and ministers at the beginning of the founding of the country were obviously from the lower class, and they did not necessarily have much profound knowledge, but they were able to found a country, while the emperors at the end of the dynasty were
, I have received a good education since I was a child and have studied a lot of scriptures, but in the end, I am either a so-called mediocre person, or a debauched and cruel person?
If this argument is true, it is not only a slap in the face of Confucianism, but also a shit on the statue of Confucius!
People who did not study Confucianism systematically founded the country, but then the well-educated people from elementary school to high school perished...
The key is that Confucian disciples also regard this set of rhetoric as a classic.
Obviously, there is a contradiction between the randomness of the emperor's abilities and the regularity of reality.
Fei Qian's remarks obviously made these people uncomfortable.
"I dare to ask you all, the saying goes, "There is a great way to make money. There are many who live, few who eat, those who work are sick, and those who use it are comfortable, then the wealth will be permanent. A benevolent person uses wealth to make a fortune, and an unkind person uses his body to make a fortune."
