"You two brats, do you know who this is?" The disciples behind Lu Zhi suddenly became dissatisfied.
"Quiet, please, may I ask you two boys where the smell is and where the chaos is?" Lu Zhi said seriously.
"If this is an old cesspool, it's chaos. You don't know what logical relationships are. That's right. The founder said that the biggest problem with Confucianism is that it never talks about logic and is far-fetched. Since then,
After only respecting Confucianism, logic is gone as soon as it is learned. It only modifies its own doctrines for the purpose of the emperor and ministers' preferences, and there is no longer any persistence." Child A said contemptuously.
This is exactly the characteristic of children:
Just say it straightforwardly and honestly, and you won't think about shame or dignity.
"Yes, if people are upright, things will be upright. If you are a gentleman, you can do good deeds? Isn't this nonsense? Confucius is still a saint. He can't tell the difference between near and far for days. How do you expect that you can compare with Confucius?
?" Child B said with equal contempt.
Lu Zhi was so ashamed that he was speechless for a moment.
His idea has always been fixed on the idea that as long as a gentleman is in power, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.
It was okay for him to think this way, but more than a thousand years later, many people still think this way.
That makes people very sad.
It’s not that a gentleman is bad, but that when doing things, you need to look at ability and system, and the two achieve each other.
To rely on personal integrity is the most unreliable thing, and it means falling into idealism.
Because an honest person will be tempted at the next moment, and a gentleman’s conclusion can only be given after death.
Just like Zhu Xi, some people say that he removed ashes, but there is no way to say this. No one can be sure whether he is a gentleman or not.
Anyway, he was not famous in later generations.
However, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, his reputation or importance in the imperial examination far exceeded that of Confucius and Mencius.
But when it comes to Confucius and Mencius in later generations, a lot of people still know who Zhu Xi is. Maybe only one person in a hundred knows who Zhu Xi is.
After Lu Zhi was shocked, he humbly asked: "Then how should I modify it?"
"You need to go and take a look first to see how the officials in our village work for the people instead of oppressing the people." Child B pointed to the door.
So Lu Zhi took his disciples and left the school.
He only felt that his mind was dizzy.
Everything I learned before was impacted.
logic?
Is it the trick of a famous artist?
They came to a cottage.
Observed carefully for two days.
From the fields to the factory market in the village, I visited them all.
Then I discovered that the people here are divided into officials and officials, with the former coming up with ideas and plans.
The latter is responsible for implementation and doing practical things.
Officials move around, but officials basically stay the same and work in one place for a lifetime.
Officials are technical personnel.
They have their own upward channels.
Not recommended.
It relies on examinations and ratings.
Whoever has higher skills will be rated higher.
Whoever does something wrong will be punished.
In fact, Dahanzhou counties are also divided into two categories.
It's just that it's not as clear as they are, and even if they are officials, they are recommended.
It was so common for one family to occupy the official position of a state or county.
Technical personnel, the most typical ones are those who measure land and calculate taxes.
These are all officials.
Officials cannot interfere with their promotion, nor are they qualified to remove them.
As long as they get things done, they can sit back and relax.
If something goes wrong, as long as there are reasonable procedures in place, they will not be found.
After watching these for a few days, Lu Zhi found that although they were not very skilled in operation, there were still many stumbling blocks.
But at least it can be run and can collect taxes and recruit troops normally.
And among those officials, two or three out of ten are studying hard, reading various books, studying hard, saying they are going to take exams...
Okay, the big guy is involved.
But having said that, the Three Kingdoms are the most important, so what does the later generations mean?
Only one out of ten people can survive here. If you don't roll well, you will die.
After Lu Zhi saw this, he suddenly felt that he was a big man, could he do this?
If the emperor cheers up, he is only in his 30s, so to be honest, he should be able to do it.
Because the Han Dynasty still has legitimacy and military power, and can still issue orders to various states and counties.
Just as I was thinking about it, Xunhe knocked on the door and came in.
"Junior has met Lu Gong." Xun You said respectfully.
The other person's present is the tomorrow that I once expected.
Of course he doesn't expect that now.
"Okay, who are you?" Lu Zhi felt respected now.
To be honest, no one in this cottage took him seriously.
You must know that outside, there are people who have to go to great lengths to seek the identity of a registered disciple without even meeting him.
"Junior Xun or Xun Wenruo, Yingchuan..."
Lu Zhi immediately knew the other party's origin.
"Okay, it turns out you and **..."
After a lot of chatting, the two people actually developed a deep friendship.
This is the power of connection between aristocratic families.
You can find connections by beating around the bush.
"Mr. Lu has been here for a few days. I wonder if he has any advice?" Xun Yue asked.
"Alas, the great man is dead." Lu Zhi sighed.
This is not because he is destroying his own prestige, but it is a fact.
He has been an official for decades and has long seen its shortcomings.
There is chaos at the top and bottom, everyone is seeking wealth, the local powerful are separatist, and those with military power have different intentions.
A few days ago, I heard that there was another rebellion, with only a few thousand troops.
"No, the Han Dynasty will not die, or we can make the Han Dynasty survive in another way." Some of Xun's words also caught the habit of Wen Rensheng.
Only Wen Rensheng would not spoil them.
Knowledge is precious. Only scholars can transform themselves to adapt to new knowledge. There is absolutely no reason why new knowledge can transform themselves to adapt to scholars.
"How to do this?" Lu Zhi said seriously.
"We must protect the Han people. I heard Master say something before. He said that the court and the people can only establish a common concept under the invasion of foreign enemies. For example, we are all Han people, because when people kill you, they will not distinguish
Whether you are an official or a beggar, as long as you live here, speak Chinese, and wear Chinese clothes, you are an enemy." Xun You said confidently.
"Well, it's true." Lu Zhi also expelled grassland tribes and knew very well about their threshing of grass and valleys.
That's cyclical. Once you cross the border, no matter who you are, young men and women will be snatched and made into slaves. The old, weak, sick and disabled will be killed, and everything will be robbed.
"I think we can start with this. Claiming that the Han has protected us for four hundred years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. You cannot choose, but you can change your position."
"The king does not hold real power, the prime minister does."
"This is a good idea, but the question is, will he be rebellious?" Lu Zhi asked rhetorically.
"That's why Master praised Huangfu Song a few days ago. Only when there are more professional soldiers with his character can this system have a foundation." Xun You praised.
"Uh..." Lu Zhi was a little ashamed.
Because he had just persuaded Huangfu Song to send troops to attack Taihang Mountain privately without an edict.
Although he knew that it was unlikely to do so, at least he still had a chance to win now, but not in the future.
But when he came here, he saw that the people here lived like a paradise.
He was glad that Huangfu Song didn't listen to him.
"But after listening to those children's words, I was deeply inspired. Only decent people cannot achieve this."
"Yes, a gentleman cannot achieve this. We should rely on the formation of common concepts, coupled with the court system, and finally, the important matters of the court should be reported widely, so that the whole world can pay attention and know about them. Only with the power of thousands of people can we curb ambitions.
Family ambition." Xun You said again.
"But if someone insists on facing the difficulties, those who hold military power have a knife, and they will use it." Lu Zhi knew very well the power of military power in his hands.
That's why the emperor likes to let civil servants lead the army in battles, and then transfer them back after the battle is over, so that there will be no tangled military leaders.
However, this also resulted in the fact that soldiers did not know generals, and generals did not know soldiers. Many of the teams that could fight in ancient times were known by a certain army.
"This is also a problem. In short, we can minimize interference as much as possible, and the most important thing is to train a few garrison troops in the capital. Other local armies will follow the imperial edict and act." Xun You said.
Then Lu Zhi and Xun Yu discussed the current situation of the Han Dynasty in detail.
Dangerous.
"Although the Yellow Turbans have been eliminated, the refugees have not been eliminated. Once something happens, they will definitely come back." Lu Zhi made an accurate judgment.
"This is another method my master said, to expand the land overseas and transport all the refugees and landless people overseas." Xun You said.
"Above the sea, there are many dangers, and in the wild land, there is not even one out of ten. Oh, yes, yes, your master seems to be kind, but he is the way of heaven." Lu Zhi suddenly said something that made Xun or not
If you understand immediately.
However, Xun or thought of it quickly.
Yes, a boat of refugees can transport two hundred people, but Zhang Jiao's rebellion can only transport a million people.
Only five thousand ships can transport it at one time. If it is transported separately, it will be transported in turns every day and so many ships will not be used.
When these people go overseas, whether they live or die, they are no longer a hidden danger to the court.
In other words, it may be a hidden danger, but it will take at least five generations to take root in the local area and then counterattack. This will take a long time.
But when they counterattack, they face a mainland court with no refugees and internal stability. How can they compete?
Unless there is great development in industry and commerce.
He suddenly felt a rush of heart.
The seemingly gentle and benevolent Master actually showed no mercy when he made strategies.
When it comes to going to sea, some people definitely don't want to go, but if they don't go, they will starve to death. People cannot resist hunger.
But Xun You thought about it and argued:
"Master, every plan is for the long term."
"Furthermore, Master also taught us how to survive when they went overseas, how to level the land, how to deal with diseases, how to renovate the land to save more land, how to deal with the natives in the wild, and how to produce more food and crops.
"
"Oh, Wen Ruo, please tell me." Lu Zhi said very modestly.
He is not at all proud of his status as a great scholar.
"For example, you cannot store fertilizers anywhere conveniently. After you go ashore, use fire to burn nearby plants, sprinkle quicklime into the stagnant water, and use spirits to disinfect your body every day. These three measures can greatly reduce deaths." Xun
Or talk carefully.
Each method is discussed in great detail.
It was definitely not a deliberate attempt to trick people into dying.
Thinking of this, Xun You breathed a sigh of relief again.
Yes, if you really want to solve the overpopulation by killing, then you don’t need to go to such trouble.
"I see, it seems that I use my villain's heart to judge the gentleman's heart." Lu Zhi laughed at himself without hesitation.
But he guessed part of it right.
If you want to launch the great voyage in advance, you will need countless lives.
Although Wen Rensheng did not do this intentionally, the objective result was that he consumed too much manpower during the voyage.
Then Lu Zhi asked many more questions.
Xun may explain everything in detail, one by one.
After listening, Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
The gap is too big.
When did the Han Dynasty care about those details of knowledge? Everyone talked about Tao.
Even if there are a few capable ministers here and there, they will summarize it by themselves and form a reliable agricultural book, which will then be passed down.
However, the imperial court did not pay much attention to such agricultural and industrial books. Anyway, if they were carved on stone and became a classic, they would not have a share...
Although ministers all say that they should emphasize agriculture and suppress business, the more something is lacking, the more they say it.
But the people are being exploited more and more harshly, often charging 10 yuan per mu.
There are also some three elders in Dahan Township who encourage farmers, but have they really summed up these experiences?
Most of them spend their days leisurely drinking, and how many of them worry about introducing advanced agricultural equipment?
No.
It was only through spontaneity, the attention of the court, and the recruitment of one or two capable ministers that this kind of thing could be promoted.
Lu Zhi was right. The instinct of the feudal court was to turn slower and slower, and the more it turned, the less willing it was to turn, because at first the founding emperor was pulling the trigger, but later it gradually became unable to turn.
The less trouble, the better.
Just like Xu Guangqi discovered sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn in the late Ming Dynasty, he went to the fields to plant them himself and reported them to the emperor, hoping that this could solve the world's great hunger.
As a result, decades later, it was not until the Manchu and Qing Dynasties that it began to be gradually popularized.

There are also very few practices that go to great lengths to promote.
After all, doing things is still too tiring, and there is no reward, and it is far less easy than building relationships.
Out of ten doers, only one can be promoted because of his outstanding performance;
Out of ten people who have connections, three will be promoted. Over time, the imperial system will be filled with people who do nothing.

Later, Lu Zhi saw that it was getting late and felt uncomfortable, so he regretfully sent Xun He away.
Xun You had no choice but to say goodbye. He wanted to talk by candlelight at night, but Mr. Lu was obviously not in good health.
Suddenly Xun or felt funny too.
Obviously doctors are so important, why didn't the emperor properly order the development of imperial doctors and sort them out?
This is related to your own wealth and life.
He also knew how high the infant mortality rate was, and the royal family was no exception.
This is retribution!
When the emperor chose to only respect Confucianism and reject hundreds of schools of thought, medicine also went astray, and in the end he suffered retribution.
This is what Master said: "In a system, the biggest beneficiary will also be the biggest victim."
Yes, the emperor is rich and has thousands of people, but he can't bear the cold.
What did you do early?
If you study this sutra and its meaning every day, you don’t know how to make great efforts to clarify the medical skills.
Even if the research is not good at the moment, at least the attitude should be shown, right?
At least when you become an official, you have to vigorously select people who are proficient in medical skills, right?
But no.
Probably people have the characteristic of forgetting the pain after their scars are healed, thinking that if they are healed this time, they won’t need it next time.
Thinking of this, Xun You couldn't help but say something while walking on the road: "Humans are stupid, emotionally controlled animals. Even if something is obviously beneficial to themselves, they still follow their emotions to destroy them."
This is his retelling of Master's words.
I didn’t understand it before, but now the more I do things, the more I understand.
You have to use systems and common concepts to suppress the stupid side of people.
For example, the most stupid emperor now is an emperor who only cares about pleasure and has no scruples.
It's because there is no system to restrain him.
Moreover, according to Confucianism, the emperor must be respected more and more.
