Chapter 230 No regrets

Soon, a video of a hundred players infiltrating the emperor and officials of the Qi Dynasty was displayed in front of Wang Wenchuan.

At the beginning of the court, Meng Yuan, who played the emperor, Chu Ge, who played Wang Wenchuan, and other ministers of the court played by the player, such as Yu Shi Zhongcheng, etc., launched a surprise attack on the old party, catching the old party off guard.

Immediately afterwards, the reform began with great vigor.

The details of the reforms carried out by officials from various places are interspersed with each other. Among them, Wenjun Shi's experiences in Henan Prefecture, Xijing, are also highlighted.

Wang Wenchuan and the audience in front of the screen held their breath and watched carefully.

And those players who had personally participated in the final trial also took it very seriously at this time.

Although they participated, they only knew the situation in their own prefectures and counties. They actually did not know much about the entire Qi Dynasty.

At this time, this drama has perfectly edited the performances of officials from various places together, and interspersed the narratives in an orderly manner.

Therefore, even for players who have experienced it personally, they can now have an overview of the overall situation from the original isolated state of blind men and elephants.

In fact, putting aside the technology line, the details of the process of implementing a new law when hundreds of players travel through it are not that special.

It is nothing more than a fixed implementation of the new law in strict accordance with the relevant areas.

For example, with regard to the Green Crops Law, what these officials have to do is nothing more than to conduct a pilot project when Wang Wenchuan was the county magistrate. They personally go to the countryside to inspect the people's conditions, carefully determine the loan goals, confirm the farmers' ability to repay and their willingness to borrow, and at the same time communicate with the officials and farmers.

It is just to describe the policies of the Young Crops Law, strictly implement the provisions of the Young Crops Law, and severely punish those who forcefully allocate youth loans or privately increase profits.

If we only look at the content, these measures seem unremarkable.

But when every state and county across the country is able to achieve this situation, the prospects of the new law will change dramatically!

Wang Wenchuan watched these players conscientiously implement the Green Seed Law one by one. For some reason, tears flashed in his eyes.

He saw the shadow of his own past in these players.

Once upon a time, he was just an ordinary magistrate.

During his tenure, he conducted several pilot projects of new laws, especially the prototype of Qingmiao Loan that he came up with at that time, which achieved great success.

Farmers praised him for his well-organized local governance, which even made Wang Wenchuan famous all over the world. The calls for him to join the government became louder and louder than ever.

It can be said that Wang Wenchuan became the Prime Minister, which was widely expected at that time.

Many people with lofty ideals believe that the only way to save the Qi Dynasty is through reform, and as long as there is reform, Wang Wenchuan must be used.

But why has decades passed in the blink of an eye, and he is still dedicated to serving the people, yet he has become so fiercely criticized that people all over the world want to compare him with those traitors who have brought harm to the country?

Perhaps Wang Wenchuan also knew that he was burdened by villains, but he had always had high demands on himself. If the reform failed, he must have spent countless sleepless nights placing the greatest responsibility on himself.

The scene he saw at this moment showed him another possibility.

That is: What if everyone from the emperor to local officials shares the same mind and heart with Wang Wenchuan and promotes the new law without any selfish motives?

In the court, although the emperor played by Meng Yuan looks like a hands-off shopkeeper who knows nothing and knows nothing, his unconditional trust in the new law has surpassed the real emperor in history.

Wang Wenchuan couldn't help but sigh: "The Holy Emperor rules from the top down, that's all."

As long as he is good at employing people, a monarch with mediocre talents and a love of pleasure can push his country to the position of hegemony;

On the contrary, if a monarch has a very high political level, but only uses people to amass wealth and checks and balances, treats the world as private property, and treats all officials as domestic slaves, then such a smart emperor will also become a disaster for the country;

As for those emperors who have great talents but no general strategy, great ambitions but no perseverance, and want to employ people but are suspicious...

All that was left was a sigh.

Those local officials who wholeheartedly implement the new law are even rarer.

These officials possessed by the players are basically Wang Wenchuan's old acquaintances.

But their behavior at this time made Wang Wenchuan feel extremely strange.

The villain who was originally good at working hard actually worked hard without considering promotion or falsifying his performance;

Officials who were originally hesitant were able to unswervingly implement the new law and fight against stubborn local forces;

Officials who originally had no talent and only knew how to mechanically and rigidly execute orders from their superiors were actually able to adapt measures to local conditions and the times, and adjust some measures of the new law according to the actual situation.

There may be some people's handling methods that Wang Wenchuan does not agree with, but generally speaking, Wang Wenchuan feels that each of these people is like himself.

This image does not refer to the specific means of implementing the new law, but to this kind of self-interestless intention to serve the country.

One Wang Wenchuan could govern a county well, but he could not govern a country.

But what if all the county magistrates and prefecture magistrates in the world are people like Wang Wenchuan?

Then Wang Wenchuan's reform is likely to no longer be a failed reform, and Wang Wenchuan himself will become an undisputed sage prime minister, a figure alongside those famous officials in ancient times.

In the end, in the face of the huge results of the new law, Wen Jun on the screen really doubted his life.

He couldn't figure out why the new law could be implemented.

Off the screen, Wang Wenchuan also fell into silence.

There were tears glistening in his eyes, and the expression on his face was filled with relief. This was because through this extremely real scene, he saw the possibility of the success of the new method.

He saw that the Young Crop Loan and the Labor Exemption Law had really reduced the burden on farmers at the bottom, and the old farmers in the fields also praised Aoxiang.

He saw that the new laws enriched the country and strengthened the army, filling the national treasury;

He saw that the atmosphere in the court had cleared up, and the ministers no longer fought with each other. They worked together to make the Qi Dynasty stronger, able to withstand foreign humiliation, and to make the people in the north no longer fearful and worry about foreign tribes going south.

Life is ruined;

He saw that the battle between the old and new laws had finally come to an end, and the success of the new laws had left those old party officials speechless...

These are, of course, gratifying parts.

But at this time, Wang Wenchuan obviously also had other emotions.

He clearly realized that his new method might not be successful from the beginning.

"Perhaps what Zhang Renxia said is right.

"He once said, if the emperor is wise, all officials are honest, and the atmosphere of the government and the public is clear, then I can become an unparalleled virtuous prime minister and create a peaceful and prosperous age for the Qi Dynasty; but if all the officials are dim and the people are not wise, then I can

He can only become a person who brings trouble to the country and the people, and is reviled.

"From this, he is right.

"The simulation of the new method by future generations has indeed succeeded under ideal conditions, but this kind of success has too many prerequisites.

"If such conditions really exist, we can create a glorious and prosperous age using the old method, so why should I bother to change it?"

Players who travel through time into the bodies of emperors and officials are actually in an ideal state that is close to a strategy game.

In strategy games, players can give an instruction at will and it will be carried out to the letter.

All the data you see is real, there won’t be too many confusing options, and you don’t have to worry about some key information being misleading.

The same is true for players' simulations of new laws under ideal conditions.

From grassroots officials to the top decision-makers, there is a highly consistent common goal, similar knowledge reserves and talents, and this state of highly bound interests will not be affected by any other factors.

But this is an ideal state after all, and it can never be achieved in reality.

Reality is not a strategy game.

In reality, every instruction given by a top-level designer may be misinterpreted by anyone at any level into other forms, or may be overcorrected, or violated, causing the original design to be completely changed beyond recognition;

The various feedback data that top-level designers get from the bottom may be full of false information, water injection, concealment, or pure fabrication.

Officials at all levels have their own ulterior motives. Some do it for promotion, some do it for land and interests, and some just do it to keep their official position and don't want to do anything...

But people like Wang Wenchuan who can completely disregard personal interests and serve the public wholeheartedly will always be rare.

At this point, Wen Junshi's words may be regarded as a true truth.

"You must have people implement it."

No matter how good a policy is, it needs people to implement it, and officials at all levels are in this state. How can your new law be implemented?

After a long silence, Wang Wenchuan sighed: "There is no injustice until the new law is implemented."

Meng Yuan showed him three different possibilities, ostensibly as a relief, letting him see the beauty of the new law's success.

But in fact, it is also a reminder.

These three different possibilities actually explain the reasons for the failure of Wang Wenchuan's reform.

The line of power and prime minister is not a line acceptable to Wang Wenchuan, and it will have endless consequences;

It is not absolutely impossible to regulate the economy through state means, but it requires a certain social foundation and scientific and technological level. This will only mature after nearly a thousand years. In the Qi Dynasty at that time, it was simply impossible;

Or, the new law requires a whole set of selfless and unified bureaucracy, and this is obviously an extreme ideal state and impossible to achieve.

Therefore, Wang Wenchuan completely understood that the failure of the new law was not unjust.

No matter how many times he is asked to try it again, the new method will most likely fail, with almost no possibility of success.

Although this conclusion is very frustrating, it also makes Wang Wenchuan feel some relief.

After all, I know that what I want to do is something that is bound to fail. It is not entirely because of my lack of ability, but also because of the favorable time, place and people.

Immediately afterwards, came the battle of Niuzhuji.

Meng Yuan introduced: "Jing Gong, next, I want to introduce two people to you.

"These two are heroes who appeared about a hundred years after you, one is Zhao Binfu and the other is Yu Jiaxuan.

"One of these two people turned the tide and helped the building before it collapsed; the other had great ambitions and soared into the sky with heroic spirit. They were both the top talents of the Qi Dynasty."

With Meng Yuan's introduction, this series has finally reached its last two episodes.

The first episode shows the real scene of Zhao Binfu winning the battle of Niuzhu.

Although there were many objective factors for the victory this time, such as the tyrannical nature of the financial leader Wanyan Hailing, the internal conflicts among the Jin soldiers, and the Qi army's many advantages in the navy...

But before the war started, the series had already shown the players in detail the unstoppable march of the Jin soldiers as they marched south. It also used scenes of the Niuzhuji garrison generals fleeing upon hearing the news, and the soldiers having no fighting spirit. So when Zhao Binfu really

It's even more shocking when he comes on stage and turns things around.

In the second episode, the players and Yu Jiaxuan used flintlock guns to defeat the golden soldiers.

In addition to the hearty battle, Yu Jiaxuan's poems also appeared at the right time, giving the entire series a majestic ending.

"I think back then, when we were strong and powerful, we could swallow thousands of miles like a tiger!"

Along with the heroic poems, Jin Bing was beaten to pieces.

And this episode is finally coming to an end.

Wang Wenchuan couldn't help but admire sincerely: "What a powerful man, and he can swallow thousands of miles like a tiger!"

"I didn't expect that a hundred years later, our Qi Dynasty would still have such talents.

"Since our Qi dynasty is full of talented people, we must have recovered Yanyun after many years, right?

"No, Niuzhuji... isn't it on the Yangtze River?"

Wang Wenchuan suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Before, he only saw the great victory of Zhao Binfu and Yu Jiaxuan, but ignored that the location of the battle was already the hinterland of the Yangtze River in his Qi Dynasty at that time.

Talents have emerged in large numbers, and from the very beginning they were determined to regain Yanyun, to now they are defending the Yangtze River...

How come you keep living and going back?

After a moment of silence, Wang Wenchuan asked: "In that case... I guess the Qi Dynasty was eventually destroyed.

"I just don't know whether he died in the feudal town or..."

Meng Yuan paused for a moment and said: "Historically, Yu Jiaxuan was not reused. He once said, 'Qiu Qiu will be destroyed in sixty years, and the worry of conquering China will be great.' Unfortunately, this sentence came true.

Prophecy.

“Sixty years after the fall of the Jin people, the Northern Barbarians prospered and destroyed the Qi Dynasty, which was what later generations called the Great Dark Age of ‘Shenzhou Lu Shen’.

"Fortunately, some people in later generations drove out the barbarians twice and rebuilt China. However, the two subjugations at the end of the Qi Dynasty and the end of the Sheng Dynasty still brought unimaginable catastrophe to Chinese culture. Every time future generations think about this,

I always sigh with regret."

Wang Wenchuan looked sad and sighed: "How could it be like this..."

Obviously, this news was like a bolt from the blue to him.

It can only be said that as a historical figure, if you know what happened later, you will be happy but also worried.

Of course Wang Wenchuan also admired Yu Jiaxuan's talent and admired Zhao Binfu's courage, but it was really hard to accept the thought that despite the emergence of such talents, they still failed to save the Qi Dynasty and perished at the hands of foreigners.

Before the Qi Dynasty, the powerful Liang Dynasty perished in the vassal town. Since ancient times, although foreigners have often posed a huge threat to the Central Plains dynasty, they have never truly completely enslaved the Central Plains and trampled the Chinese civilization under their feet.

Therefore, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Qi Dynasty headed by Wang Wenchuan could only imagine the demise of the Qi Dynasty, which was nothing more than the secession of vassal towns, peasant uprisings, and melee among heroes...

But he never thought that the Qi Dynasty would really fall at the hands of a foreign race, China Lu Chen.

If Wang Wenchuan had been born in that era, I am afraid he would have had no other choice but to rather die than surrender to prison.

Meng Yuan said: "In fact, the fall of the Qi Dynasty was already doomed at the beginning of the founding of the country. The fate of a dynasty is often closely related to the founding king.

"As for the Qi Dynasty, as a dynasty that won the country unfairly, it is not surprising that the monarch was short of breath after all. He only had famous people but failed to use them, and he only had famous generals but suffered defeats again and again."

Wang Wenchuan did not respond.

Because of Meng Yuan's words, he didn't know how to respond.

Although Wang Wenchuan must have some thoughts about the emperor, as a minister of the Qi Dynasty, it is difficult for him to criticize the emperor of the Qi Dynasty, and it is even more inappropriate to talk about "unfair victory of the country".

After all, he is an ancient man, and no matter how advanced his ideas are, they still have the limitations of his own times.

"No matter what, I have no regrets after seeing these."

Wang Wenchuan said with emotion: "Although my life is full of regrets, I know that future generations will give me a fair evaluation, and all my hard work and hard work in this life are worth it."

Meng Yuan bowed respectfully and saluted: "Jing Gong is eternal."

Wang Wenchuan returned the greeting, and then he looked into the distance.

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, as if he had returned to the Feilai Peak and his boyhood.

"Don't be afraid of the floating clouds covering your eyes, because you are at the highest level."

The mist filled the air, slicing the history of Wang Wenchuan and the Qi Dynasty into pieces and re-burying it in the long river of history.

The audience in front of the screen was also in ups and downs, and for a long time they didn't know what to say.

Throughout the ages, the fate of reformers has been generally similar.

If you want to really do something, if you want to really not be blinded by the clouds, you have to stand high enough.

But if we really reach the top of the mountain, will it be too cold at the top?

Wang Wenchuan has indeed reached the top, but this also means that no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he will leave a mark in the history books. His success will be remembered forever, and his failure will be remembered forever.

But even so, he still climbed to the top of the mountain without hesitation to complete his mission.

In the future, there will be countless people like Wang Wenchuan who know what cannot be done but do it anyway.

This episode ends here.



Soon, the audience started a heated discussion after watching the show.

"Hey, I'm still confused after reading it again."

"Yu Jiaxuan and Wang Wenchuan are both heroic figures with unrealistic ambitions. Although they finally achieved a good result in the game, it is still easy to get high blood pressure when thinking about the things that really happened in history."

"This drama is quite good. Although it is a bit of a hodgepodge, the style is very consistent with the style of "Ansha". It showed three different possibilities to Jing Gong, allowing him to fully understand why his reform failed, and

I have no regrets at all."

"The scene where the flintlock gun fights the golden soldiers is very exciting. Although similar plots can be found in many novels, it is still very exciting to see such a realistic description of such a large scene in a film and television drama!"

"This is the great thing about the game "Dark Sand". Not only can it reproduce the real situation in history, but as long as the players work together and perform accordingly, it can also show other possibilities in history!"

"I wonder what the next copy will be like? I'm really looking forward to it."

"Meng Yuan's last comment should be regarded as a warning given by the official through his mouth, right? The demise of the Qi Dynasty has been doomed since the founding of the country. The reason why the Qi Dynasty has never had a truly talented and strategic monarch for such a long time is that

In the final analysis, it is because there were problems when the country was founded, so this kind of ills has continued..."

"The next copy is 'Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon'. There should be a lot of scenes involving General Han Fuyue this time, right? Moreover, this time it should be integrated with the historical slices of the Qi Dynasty emperors. I don't know if it can

Can’t you play the role of the dog emperor?”

"I have a question, why is it Meng Yuan twice?"

"Because he has the best acting skills and the best eloquence, that's why he was chosen, right?"

"Other people should be able to join in the future, right? Who knows, let's see the official announcement."



Watching the audience's discussion, Meng Yuan lamented to the participating merchants: "You can't do it again and again. Hosting it twice has already aroused suspicion. I have to find someone else next time.

"I think Chu Ge can do it. Plan the process in advance and let him take part next time."

The consultant narrowed his eyes slightly: "You, the real sequencer, are really getting more and more perfunctory. You have been playing soy sauce in the process of conquering the dungeon, and now you are even preparing to throw the produced movies to the players."

Meng Yuan was very unhappy: "How can you say that? This is obviously the voice of the masses! More players should take on heavy responsibilities in the movie!

"Okay, I will continue to plan the new copy. This time I must give the demon a fatal blow and regain the entire Qi Dynasty!"

Meng Yuan immersed himself in the trial illusion and began to get busy.
