Three hundred and sixty seventh chapter Jian'an three years
Liu Bei finally left, braving the snow and wind. Escorted by the bodyguards, Chen Cheng and Liu Qian returned to Chang'an from the post station thirty miles away. After returning to the General's Mansion, the two of them took a look.
The two sons, who were sleeping soundly, then went to the study together to talk.
"I found that science alone cannot solve all problems." Chen Cheng threw a piece of firewood into the fire and looked at the dancing flames and said: "Although sociology and philosophy are not science, they are still necessary.
"The Theory of Contract," "Theory of Contradiction," "The Wealth of Nations," "Das Kapital," etc., must be taught, otherwise it will be too difficult to change people's minds."
"Well, well..."
Liu Qian, who was working hard, was very excited and made a sweet sound from her nostrils.
"Hiss... don't use your teeth," Chen Cheng pointed, and then said: "Science is powerful, but it must be convinced by real results, which will take too long.
Productivity and production relations are both very important. It’s like a person has two legs. You can’t say which one is more important. As a normal person, of course both legs are important.”
"Well," Princess Wannian climbed up, finally feeling no longer empty, she made a satisfied sound, "Oh!"
"It is also necessary to change human thoughts. Although I don't do much research on philosophy, well, in fact, there is almost no research, but at least I am much better than people of this era. Although I don't
I like to argue with others too much, but since I am sitting in this position, it is necessary to explain my point of view clearly and let others know."
It seemed as if the waves were constantly beating against the rocks, and waves hit the cliffs, one after another, and the flowers shattered and scattered all over the ground. After a long time, Liu Qian's body softened, and she muttered; "
I’m going to call Zi Jia’er, Diao Chan and Zhao Ji over!”
Chen Cheng came back from the pit of sociology and philosophy and asked in surprise: "Why are you so energetic today?"
Liu Qian stood up, rinsed her mouth, and said with a smile: "Reciting poems is indeed a very interesting thing. No wonder Master used to like reading poems so much. Well, I heard that Wei Li's younger brother Wei Zhongdao came to Chang'an. I'm going to meet him in a few days.
Let’s meet and see what kind of person he is.”
Chen Cheng ignored Liu Qian's nonsense. It's hard to guess a girl's mind. Princess Wannian is a very special girl. Her head is often filled with all kinds of fantastic ideas, which makes him have fun.
Sometimes he would feel dumbfounded. He thought for a moment and jumped from the pit of philosophy to the God of War.
The processing difficulty of "Napoleon Cannon" is much higher than that of "Tiger Crouching Cannon". You can cast more "Tiger Crouching Cannon" first, so as to gain greater advantages in field battles. For the time being, you only need one "Napoleon Cannon"
, strengthen in the direction of the main attack during battle.
Calculating it this way, the pressure is not that great. After seven years, Liangzhou's population has increased a lot. First, many people have come back from the Western Regions and grasslands. Second, after the people have eaten enough, they will
There is nothing else to do. Making humans is the most convenient recreational activity. Coupled with the improvement of medical standards, the mortality rate of young children has dropped a lot, so the population has increased rapidly.
When he first arrived in Liangzhou in the sixth year of Zhongping, the total registered population of Xiliang was only 500,000. Now it has risen to more than 800,000. This does not include the Qiang people who live in grass.
Tribes and Hu slaves, just like no one knows how many Qiang people there are in Xiliang, no one knows how many Hu slaves there are there.
Not to mention those who work in the mines, the rich Xiliang tycoons and ordinary wealthy families like to buy some beautiful orchids to keep at home. The population is rising so fast. With those exotic orchids,
Ji also has a lot to do with it. According to the current government laws, as long as either parent is Han Chinese, the child will automatically become Han Chinese. His parents have also changed from "Hu people" to "naturalized Han people".
No longer allowed to be treated as slaves.
In the past, there were some mixed-race children in Xiliang, like Cheng Yi, but they were not many. Now there are a lot of mixed-race children, and some have unique tastes. I don’t know where to get them.
They brought some black people back, and they beat them up every day, and even some dark-skinned Chinese people appeared. Gentlemen who knew about these things wanted to behead them again and again, and lamented that the world was declining and people's hearts were not as old as before.
Tiny footsteps sounded, and Liu Qian came in with the girls. They first bowed down Yingying, then Cai Yan played the pipa, Zi Jiaer and Diao Chan turned their sleeves, sang and danced. The pipa was played by Zhao Ji, and the sound
It's like the sound of a clear spring, and like the jingle of a ring, which makes people feel very pleasant and comfortable when listening to it.
Liu Qian took a shallow sip of the sweet wine, and then passed it to Chen Cheng's lips. The faint aroma lingered in her nose, and everything she smelled, saw, heard, and felt made people extremely happy. He temporarily put it down.
Regarding the consideration of national affairs, completely let yourself go at this moment and let your body act according to instinct.
"call!"
The cold wind blew by, blowing the door curtain, making a "swishing" sound. Tian Yu raised his head and looked out, and then focused his eyes on the table in front of him again. To be more precise, it was placed there.
On a thin piece of rice paper. He frowned and thought for a long time before picking up the pen and preparing to write a letter.
However, the moment the tip of the brush touched the paper, he stopped again. Because he had thought for too long, the tip of the pen covered with ink had become hard. Tian Yu sighed, put down the brush, and said to himself
Said to himself: "This is good."
The second year of Jian'an was a year full of black memories for Gongsun Zan's army. In the past few years, although the Youzhou Cavalry was captured by the Hebei Army every time, at that time the Youzhou Army still controlled
Taking the initiative in battle, when encountering the Jizhou Army, you still have the choice of fighting or leaving.
But starting from this year, the initiative in the battle has been transferred to the hands of the people of Hebei. Yuan Shao's army began to invade the land of Youzhou, returning everything they had suffered to the enemy. Although Gongsun Zan is still brave, Youzhou has already
Depleted by endless wars.
The once huge cavalry group has now been reduced to the point where it can only guard homes and courtyards. Even the world-famous Youzhou Cavalry will lose its fighting power when there is nothing to eat.
At this time, the imperial court became Gongsun Zan's only hope. Whether it was armor, weapons, medicine, food, war horses, cloth, or spirits, they were all in urgent need of Gongsun Zan's army. Youzhou's war machine had collapsed.
Well, if supplies are not imported from the outside, this war machine will soon rust and age until it is completely scrapped.
Zhao Yun, who was guarding Bingzhou, was once a member of the White Horse Yi Cong. He had some affinity with the Youzhou Army and was willing to provide some help to Gongsun Zan's army. However, last time he sent a thousand horizontal knives and two hundred steel swords.
After giving A and 40,000 shi of grains, the envoy also made it clear that the General and Bingzhou Mu bought these things with their own money and gave them to General Tian.
The things are good things. Whether they are horizontal knives or steel armors, they are all standard weapons of the imperial court, and the quality is absolutely high. Although the grains are not as tasty as rice and noodles, they can still fill the stomach. After Tian Yu got these things, he did not think of himself
Instead, he sent most of the weapons and armor and half of the food to Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Bogui had long been suffering from a headache due to the lack of supplies. The things Tian Yu sent were not many, but they gave him other hope. Although Youzhou's financial and material resources have been exhausted, he can still get things from the court.
No? So he sent a letter to the court himself. The lion said nothing and ordered Tian Yu to get more food and weapons.
Tian Yu was very disgusted with this order. He had a good relationship with Chen Cheng and had kept in touch over the years, but he never said that he wanted to rely on this relationship to benefit himself. Otherwise, he would have already done so the year before last
After entering the imperial court under the imperial edict, how could he stay in Youzhou?
He looked at the frozen tip of his pen and sighed. He wanted to give up, but when he thought of the hungry soldiers, his colleagues who died on the battlefield, and Gongsun Zan who had helped him, Tian Yu could only
Open the end of the pen again and start writing again.
This time, he did not ask Chen Cheng for something, but carefully described the current difficult situation in Youzhou, and asked Chen Cheng if there was any way to get the Youzhou army out of this declining situation. Anyone with insight can see this.
, Now Youzhou and Jizhou have attacked and defended in different positions. If this continues, the Jizhou army will invade the hinterland of Youzhou in large numbers.
After finishing the letter, Tian Yu looked at it and let out another long sigh. Based on his understanding of Chen Cheng, as long as this letter is sent out, a lot of things will definitely be sent over. However, the one currently in Youzhou
The situation in the army is really bad.
Due to heavy snow and road closures, Tian Yu's letter was not delivered to Chen Cheng until after the beginning of spring. Also sent to Chang'an was a letter from Bingzhou Mu Zhao Yun. Chen Cheng read the two letters, thought for a while, and then
Before deciding on such a major matter, you should first listen to what your officials think.
The next day happened to be the day of the semi-monthly meeting, and the provincial officials gathered in the Weiyang Palace. The expressions of these people were very relaxed, and they would joke with each other after meeting. The imperial court was under their governance.
With the prosperity, the situation in Guanzhong, Bingzhou, Henan and other places has greatly improved, so everyone no longer has the same sense of urgency and tension as in the past.
Steel and wooden boards collided, and heavy footsteps came from the back of the hall. Two Xiliang dragon knights wearing heavy steel armor, their whole bodies hidden in steel, stood still in the hall, "The general is here!"
Chen Cheng then walked in, and everyone stopped talking, sat down in their seats, and then said in unison: "I'll see you, General!"
In the Han Dynasty, the three princes could sit down and discuss matters with the emperor. It was not like the Song Dynasty where ministers could only stand and talk to the emperor, nor the Ming and Qing Dynasty where ministers had to kneel down when meeting the emperor. Chen Cheng himself hated trouble and complexity.
Based on this understanding, the scope of "three independent sittings" has been expanded to include all officials who come to the meeting to sit on the chairs.
At first, some people objected, saying that this was not in line with the traditions of the Han family. But after sitting on it a few times, they felt that it was more comfortable to sit on a chair. If there was no other way, who would be willing to kneel on the ground and chew a "slave"
