Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2164 Celebrity Gaoshi
To the north of Wuguan, near Lantian.

The stretching camp unfolded, like white steamed buns among the fine snowflakes.

Fei Qian sat upright in the large tent of the Chinese army, and the brazier on the side provided heat, so that he would not feel too cold in the tent.

Fei Qian was looking at several new hussars coins on the table.

I don't know why, but when fiddling with these jingling coins in his hands, he feels somewhat pleasant, even though Fei Qian knows that these coins are of no practical use to him at the moment.

Does Fei Qian need to go to the market to spend money to buy something?

Obviously not, but when holding this hussar coin, it can still make Fei Qian feel that he is a rich man.There's even some realism that changes this world.

If you look at it from the perspective of future generations, these coins are rough and the handwriting is a bit blurry...

Moreover, the money delivered to Fei Qian for review is all mother money, which is relatively delicate, and has even been carefully polished. When the son money flows to the market, various wrong editions and incompleteness due to manual and mechanical reasons Products, of course, are also indispensable.

However, these coins still have significance across the ages.

China's gold and silver mines are indeed not as rich as copper mines, and even iron mines are worse, but when faced with such a problem, the rulers of the feudal dynasties of China chose to make do with it.

If gold and silver are not available, can copper be used?

The quality of iron ore is not very good, and occasionally you can make some "treasure swords" to pay tribute to the emperor, isn't it okay?
Of course, this cannot all be the problem of these feudal rulers. After all, these people are limited by their vision and knowledge. Sometimes it is really remarkable to be able to do a good job as a paper poster, but the problem lies with Fei Qian, no.

As a time traveler, if you just learn those historical paper-making techniques and confuse the current problems, as long as you don’t have any problems during your tenure, then what’s the point of accumulating thousands of years of knowledge?
There are many shortcomings of Dahan, and there are many things that need to be improved...

Many times, like the current weather, the snow is flying, everything seems to be covered up, everything is unified into one color, very pure and flawless, it looks so pleasing to the eye, but when the snow melts, it will change again. Back to the original look, it will be even dirtier!
"My lord! A scout reported from outside the big tent, "Changan Zheng's car has left Lantian and will be approaching from time to time." 』

Fei Qian put down the coin in his hand and said loudly, "Got it." 』

It is the basic cultivation of an official to make progress, and this kind of progress is very cruel.

The same is true of seeing the wind and making the rudder.

As soon as the army arrived, the riots of the refugees in Lantian were like sages who had let go of their anger. Everyone was meek and kind as if they were beautiful, and they calmed down in a blink of an eye. The emergency military report also seemed to disappear in the snowflakes, never to be seen again.

Didn't you say that the riots in Lantian and the ferocity of the refugees brought disaster to the four towns?

Isn't it that the hungry people are frenzied, looting the market place, and the place is out of order?
And now that Fei Qian's army is gone, is it gone?

If there is no movement, does it mean that nothing happened?

These absurd things are happening, and they are going on in the open under Feiqian's eyes.

After being stationed in Lantian, Feiqian ordered several surrounding county magistrates to come to see him.

Then something even more interesting happened. Several county magistrates even hung up their crowns and left, saying that they were overwhelmed by the burden of the paperwork, so they wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and never come out!
Since he has already hung up his crown and left without falling in love with the powerful, he is naturally a high-ranking hermit who has obtained the "Tao" and understood the "reason". The requirements of the mundane world affect its detached artistic conception.

When Yuan Shaoyuan hung the crown at the East Gate at the beginning, the whole world applauded.

Now, although these county magistrates are not as famous as Yuan Benchu's, it is more or less a kind of detached state to go away with the crown.
Among them is Zheng Xuan's disciple.

Well, Zheng Xuan's disciples are not just those who follow him. After all, the disciples that Zheng Xuan has accepted, including those who are nominal or not, have at least a thousand or more, and these people will more or less be known as In the name of Zheng Xuan to elevate themselves, and then when these people accept disciples, they will also say that they learned from Zheng Xuan...

There are relatively few Sanfu places in Guanzhong, but in the Jizhou area, it is said that wherever there is a voice for Confucian classics, there are disciples of Zheng Xue, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands.

On the one hand, this is because Zheng Xuan himself is a master of Confucian classics, and then he can learn many kinds of Confucian classics content with Zheng Xuan. It is not like before. To find another one, the key is if the explanations of these people are consistent with each other, but what if the explanations are mutually exclusive?

Zheng Xue is much better, with unified annotations, making it very convenient for both learning and teaching.Zheng Xue has naturally become the largest school of thought at the moment.Most of the lectures on the classics use Zheng's annotations. Many Confucian scholars and scholars are shocked by Zheng Xue's magnificence and all-encompassing, and turn to advocate Zheng Xue.

Therefore, it is not surprising that some of these people claiming to be the disciples of Zheng Xuan among those who left with the crowns.

Logically speaking, Zheng Xuan can completely ignore these people, or even say that these people have nothing to do with him, but Zheng Xuan didn't do that, instead he rushed from Chang'an to Lantian, and then from Lantian to Feiqian here……

You must know that Zheng Xuan is already 70 years old. According to the average life expectancy of the Han Dynasty, it is almost equivalent to kicking his legs and dying at any time, but Zheng Xuan still dragged his old body to come, just for these so-called "Zheng Xuan" Learn from children".

For this matter, Fei Qian really didn't know whether to praise or sigh.

In the snowstorm, Zheng Xuan arrived.

Fei Qian asked Hua Tuo, who was with the army, to go for a diagnosis and treatment first, and after confirming that the old man Zheng Xuan was fine, he felt relieved...

Wrapped in a big cloak, Zheng Xuan drank the ginger soup tremblingly, and then roasted the brazier. After a long time, he seemed to be a little bit angry, and his face looked relatively better.

Elderly people, their limbs are prone to cold. When the weather is cold, they are like four pieces of wood. The inconvenience of turning is relatively light, and sometimes they are even sore and painful...

"Duke Zheng, why bother..." Fei Qian shook his head and sighed.

Zheng Xuan put down the bowl of ginger soup, and then did not answer Fei Qian's question directly, but also sighed, "General!Why? ! 』

Fei Qian pretended to be stupid, "What did Zheng Gong say?" 』

"The general wants to rectify the administration of officials, just speak out, why use this method?" 』Zheng Gong pouted his beard and blew wildly.

Fei Qian laughed, and then showed Zheng Xuan some mother money on the table, "Grand Zheng, let's leave this matter aside for now... let's see how the money is?"Can it catch the eye? 』

"Someone is ashamed to say copper stinks! 』Zheng Xuan glanced at it, and immediately became more and more annoyed, thinking that Fei Qian was using money to bribe him to solve the problem.

"Hehe..." Fei Qian pointed to Huang Xu, "Do you have coins for daily use?"Go get some and give Zheng Gong a comparison...』

Huang Xu nodded, took some out of his pocket, and put it on Zheng Xuan's desk.

"..." Zheng Xuan glanced at Fei Qian, and then looked at the coins, thoughtfully, "The meaning of the hussars..."

Although the mother money is not as good as the coins of later generations, it is still much more exquisite compared with the coins used in general, and the luster and brightness are not comparable to the coins in general.

It is obvious that the same mother coin is used as the template, but the coins produced are different from each other.Of course, it may also be the wear and tear caused by this or that reason during the use process.

"Hussars use this as a metaphor for the present? ’ Zheng Xuan frowned and said.

Talking to smart people saves trouble.

A wise man always wants to talk less himself and let others talk more.

"I heard that when Zheng Gong was young, sitting on the brocade banquet, he said a lot of heroic words, "It's not what I want, it's not what I want"..." Fei Qian tilted his head slightly, "But why do you seldom hear it now? ? 』

Zheng Xuan glanced at Fei Qian, with a calm and calm expression on his face, "The general thinks that the old man must be a young man?"When I was young, I regarded the world as nothing, and it was a fault.At this old man's age, if he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, doesn't understand the truth, and doesn't avoid the advantages and disadvantages, isn't he living in vain?A gentleman has the way, and he should do it earnestly. 』

Fei Qian nodded and said, "A gentleman can be deceived." 』

Zheng Xuan stared, "Not necessarily! 』

"Dare to ask Zheng Gong, how many gentlemen are there in this world?"kid geometry? ’ Fei Qian said with a laugh.

"This is the harm of the world!"Gentlemen are like lins, outstanding but rare, and boys are like carp, clustered together. Zheng Xuan shook his head and sighed, "People in the world often use villains to save gentlemen!"People's hearts are not old, but what can we do? 』

"Zheng Gong's words are not unreasonable..." Fei Qian nodded and said, "But this world... may not be as Zheng Gong wished..."

Fei Qian pointed to the snowflakes flying outside the big tent and said, "Does Mr. Zheng know this place?"Under the white snow and loess, there are hundreds of thousands of souls! 』

Every time he looks at the vast land and feels a heavy sense of history, Feiqian always sighs in his heart, "In the Battle of Lantian between Qin and Chu, Xianyang had only 300,000 people, even conquering the land of Zhongnanyang in Han, and the power of Chu in the end" , Stopped at Lantian... After the first emperor ruled the world, Xianyang lived in millions of people, and the daily needs of money, food and firewood were piled up like a mountain, and the water was full of washing, muddying the Wei and Wei... However, the ancestor was only more than ten thousand, but he took Wuguan lightly , and then overcome the Gao Pass, and go straight to Lantian...』

"Not enough soldiers?With 300,000 soldiers, the pass and the soldiers surrendered!Not many people?Millions of people, the country will perish in Guanziying! Fei Qian pointed to the direction of Chang'an Xianyang, "[-] people can work together, but millions of people will fall apart!"Zheng Gong, but can the four words "people's hearts are not ancient" be explained? 』

"Study the ancient and modern political systems, starting with the Qin Dynasty, and observe the rise and fall of the dynasty, from the Han Dynasty to the present!"The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, so it can be said that the Han system came from Qin, and it was used in favor of Qin's foundation. Fei Qian said slowly, "Han knew how to avoid the disadvantages of Qin, but the ax was sharp but not self-cultivating. Now, where can we learn from the disadvantages of Han?" 』

In ancient China, when tribal alliances arose, political systems came into being.

The first leaders were elected, and the criteria were very simple. One was based on moral character, and the other was based on ability. Moreover, obedience was not mandatory. Even the Yanhuang advocated by Confucianism relied on force to persuade the four soldiers.At that time, the concept of the central government had not yet been established, and the power system was not perfect.

Zhou Wenwu established the dynasty, facing the new situation, Zhou Wenwang Wuwang was actually at a loss, and enfeoffment was the political strategy that Zhou Wang thought up at that time, and it lasted for 800 years.

Then in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, King Qin was unified and the emperor was established.Immediately, most of the ancient systems were overthrown, the enfeoffment system and the Zhaomu system were abolished, and the patriarchal legal system was changed to bureaucratic politics. These changes became "the tyranny of the king of Qin", and the six countries boiled.These remnants of the six countries are not suffering for the so-called common people, but because their privileges have been weakened or even perished.

Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty understood this, so he made a step back. The emperor still has the emperor, and the imperial power is still supreme, but he gave up the position of the Sangong Jiuqing, so that non-royal people can assist and act as agents to rule the world.Therefore, in the early Han Dynasty, Taiwei was an honorary position and was not permanent, but the prime minister had a high position. Even when the prime minister went to visit, the emperor had to wear formal clothes to meet him. After the audience, the emperor had to send the prime minister to the gate of the hall. ...

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very upset, so he began to split up the prime ministers continuously, and then gradually lost the prime ministers. Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sangong became a false title, and Shangshutai was the administrative center.

In the current Han Dynasty, as far as these central government officials above the court are concerned, they have gradually changed from "retainers of the emperor" to "feudal bureaucrats". change.

But resigning and changing jobs does not mean that you can not take any responsibility.

Fei Qian glanced at Zheng Xuan who was thinking, stopped, and gave Zheng Xuan some time to think.

Regardless of his old age, Zheng Xuan rushed to Lantian, not entirely because of those so-called "Zheng Xue disciples", but on the one hand, because Zheng Xuan's own duty is to advise, and on the other hand, he was also worried that Fei Qian was just a temporary Impulsive, and then act without comprehensive consideration, leading to subsequent troubles, the third...

There must be Zheng Xuan's own personal desires.

Zheng Xuan is not a saint, nor is anyone else.

In terms of official affairs, Zheng Xuan does not oppose reform, but he opposes aimless or even random reform, so it is better to follow the ancient system, at least it will not become worse.

The same is true of Zheng Xuan's attitude towards Fei Qian. If Fei Qian didn't think about anything, but just blindly followed his desires, asking for this and coveting that, doing things without rules, and issuing government orders at will, then Zheng Xuan would be disappointed, and even Anger will eventually cause Zheng Xuan to either remonstrate to death or run away.On the other hand, once Zheng Xuan finds out that these problems are things that Fei Qian has thought about for a long time, then Zheng Xuan will not be angry because of this, but will discuss with Fei Qian to find out whether one party can accept it, or both parties are willing to bear it. that result.

I am not afraid that the monarch has too many ideas, but I am afraid that the monarch will not use his brain.

Yu private, Zheng Xuan's personal abacus, naturally it is inconvenient to say it in front of Fei Qian.

Zheng Xuan understands what Fei Qian means, just don't talk about "ancient methods". From the history of China to the present, Chinese people have come out step by step in pioneering and innovative. There has never been any ancient method to copy, and there is no system grandpa to Pointing, some are just constant groping and bloody thorny road.

The body and the mind are two completely different things. The path indicated by the mind, the body is limited to reality, and often takes a different path.

This is a very helpless thing.

Sometimes the body does not know that it is wrong, but it just has to admit that it is wrong, and then the cost of going back is extremely high, so it can only reluctantly try to change, and then gradually slip into the abyss under the action of inertia.

Since Fei Qian knew that some directions were wrong, why did he go there?

But the problem is that other people don't think that direction is wrong.

At least now, does Zheng Xuan feel the need to do so?
So even if Fei Qian explained, Zheng Xuan still frowned and said nothing. Although he didn't say anything, there were obviously some disagreements.

"Han inherited the Qin system, with counties and counties as the guardians, ten thousand households as the order, and those who are not enough as the head, the county is set up as a township, and it is co-managed by "Youzhi", "Three Elders", and "Youjia" and others. They are in charge of household law and education. , Litigation, thieves and thieves, taxes are also collected, and labor is commanded..." Fei Qian laughed, and then said, "You know, Mr. Zheng, how many officials are there in ten thousand households in one place? 』

Zheng Xuan shook his head. Although he generally knew a little bit, he didn't know exactly how many officials there were in a county.

"One order is worth a thousand stones, and one prime minister is worth four hundred stones.There are two Weis, each with a rank of four hundred stones.One official, four townships, four officials, three prison officials, three officials, ten townsmen, four tours, one prison prisoner, three Weis, and seven officials. People, nine township assistants, and more than fifty pavilion chiefs..." Fei Qian said slowly, "In a county, there are more than one hundred and five officials, all of whom receive salaries and live in the country.Dare to ask Zheng Gong, what do you think? 』

Zheng Xuan said: "So the hussars want to be redundant?" 』

Fei Qian smiled and said: "No... If the officials can enrich the local area, calm the countryside, improve water conservancy, and increase people's livelihood, it's okay to double it... But these officials, hehe , Three years of planning, every year there are those who talk about disasters, those who say nothing, and those who say something wrong, but there are few words about what they have done for the people this year, and what they are willing to do for the common people next year! 』

"The imperial court feeds them with their salaries, and the local government feeds them with the fat and fat of the people. They live in high mansions, where hundreds of people come and go. They have cars and seats to live in. If they don't eat well, they get angry. If they don't eat well, they complain. If they don't eat well, they complain. The responsibility is as if nothing exists," Fei Qian said with a smile, but the smile was somewhat cold, "these are the local governors, the pillars of the community!Now Lantian is chaotic, sitting behind closed doors, doing nothing, letting it spread, helpless!At the first question, he hangs his crown and leaves!If someone is held accountable, he will persecute celebrities and virtuous people! 』

"This..." Zheng Xuan was speechless.

Fei Qian has not mentioned the temporary workers among those local officials. If we talk about them, these temporary workers are often a very important reason why local officials are criticized.

A serious official position has to be more or less concerned about one's own crown of excellence, and the official hat of a temporary worker is itself made of paper, and it will be broken with a little wind and rain. In addition, in order to obtain such a paper hat, a lot of money has been invested Wouldn't it be a big loss if the hat can't be recovered before it breaks for such a small cost?

Just like the magistrate of a place is unlikely to personally occupy two pieces of meat and a few fruits in the hands of market vendors, most of those who can do such a thing are things with paper hats, but they can be said to be nothing like Jinxianguan No connection, and then dismissing a few paper hats will be the end of the matter?Who brought the paper hat?Whose name is written on the hat?How many people passed the pieces of meat and fruits that were taken away?
The Buddha said, it cannot be said.

"If Mr. Zheng still has doubts..." Fei Qian clapped his hands, "Maybe we can meet one more person to clear up the confusion..."

The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a person came in...
