Weird Three Kingdoms

What are rights?
Perhaps it was because when Fei Qian was quietly looking at such a simple painting, no one dared to disturb him, but when Fei Qian spoke, everyone listened attentively.

But in practice?

If rights are tangible, how did they arise and how did they die?

If it is invisible, why can it make other people bow their heads and ears, and put on [-] postures softly?
Taishi Ci frowned and looked at the painting.

In fact, to be honest, there is nothing strange about this painting. It is similar to the graffiti in many places in Han Dynasty. It may be that someone with a certain artistic talent found a piece of brightly colored graffiti. Ore, and then the ore is ground to make pigments, which are painted on mud walls or stone walls.

Fei Qian made a little reminder, "Think about some paintings on the road..."

Tai Shici raised his eyebrows, "This is a human being!"People are drawn! 』

Fei Qian nodded.

In the Western Regions, Buddhism is still relatively popular, not to mention Kucha, many other countries also practice Buddhism, and there are some portraits on some rocks on both sides of the roads in the Western Regions, but most of those paintings are Buddha statues .Whether it is a sitting or standing portrait, there are Buddha light shrouded, believers serving, or subduing wild beasts...

The only ones who don't paint people, paint the lives of ordinary people, and paint the portraits of ordinary people's hopes.

But now the portrait in front of Fei Qian and Tai Shici is that the subject is not a god, but a human being.

If a superficial interpretation is made, the fruit tree grows a lot of fruit, representing a good harvest, men and women, representing life, children and puppies, representing the future, and the sun and moon, representing hope.

These are what people expect, what a mortal hopes for.

Not what God wants.

What does God need?
God is omnipotent, God is rich, God lacks nothing...

God is missing only knees.

Mortal knees.

Only by kneeling down and being a licking dog can you get salvation...

Human needs are many.

Including but not limited to crops, vegetables, and fruits.

Fei Qian pointed at the painting, tapped it, and then looked at Tai Shici meaningfully, "Remember this painting, and you will be half successful." 』

Taishi Ci answered with his hands raised, then turned his head and scanned the uncomplicated painting up and down, as if he wanted to engrave it in his heart.Taishi Ci realized that a place full of gods and Buddhas obviously belonged to gods and Buddhas, not to mortals.If there are only gods and Buddhas in the Western Region, what should mortals do?If the Western Region becomes the territory of gods and Buddhas, it will be equivalent to his failure as a successor.

And now, the key to unlocking the shackles of the gods and Buddhas lies on this wall.

Taishi Ci knew clearly that Fei Qian's meaning was certainly not about painting a few paintings, but the meaning of the paintings.

This is like the United States selecting the most beautiful cities in later generations. It doesn’t mean painting a few pictures, cleaning two streets, or hanging some slogans to represent the most beautiful cities. Then when the inspection team leaves, it will still look the same. look.

People in the Western Regions are no different from people in the Han Dynasty. They also hope for food, clothing, food and clothing, and peace for their families.Anyone who can do this in the Han Dynasty is naturally a good governor. So how can we do this well in the Western Regions?

Continue to hang banners?

Clean up before the inspection team comes down?
Planning the route of Fei Qian's inspection, and then arresting, arresting, confiscating, or overturning the small stalls on both sides of the route who are believed to be earning [-] a day?
Disrespectful local products, poor reception one-stop.

Then the people below continue to believe in the wisdom of future generations, to believe in the government's issued documents?Isn't it like the government still believes that the people can still endure, and can still continue to squeeze out oil?
In fact, the answer lies in the "painting".

Or just a painting, like a dream, dreaming every day, or...

Work hard to turn your dreams into reality.

After passing the painting, Fei sneaked into the meeting hall of this small town.

The meeting hall generally maintained the original structure of the Han family.

It's just that what used to be a seat is now a felt blanket, and what was originally a thatched mat is now a fur.

Fei Qian was silent for a while, didn't say anything, and sat down.

"All the documents and texts of recent years have been brought. 』Fei Qian gave instructions to Lou Er, the old city guard, because he was called Al and so on, so he was simply called Ah Er, which was easy and easy to remember.

Lou Er was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Honorable general...we don't have any documents here..."

Fei Qian waved his hand, "Just take as many as you have." 』

Xu Chu, who was beside Fei Qian, gave the guard under the hall a look, and the guard stood behind the old city guard holding the knife handle and snorted.

The old city guard wiped off his sweat and turned around to pick up the documents with a full stomach full of doubts.He really had never seen someone like Fei Qian. After he came, he didn't want gold and silver first, beautiful women second, and he didn't want fine wine and food, but what documents did he want?
What is the use of Shanshan's documents?And really not much.

What's more, it's not written in Chinese characters, so I definitely can't read it...

Lou Er respectfully led several people, and placed several baskets of documents in front of Fei Qian.

Most of the documents were written on wood, and some were on sheepskin.

Fei Qian casually took some to look at, and also signaled Tai Shici to take some.

Fei Qian really couldn't understand.

But it can be seen that these words are some kind of letters.It seems that there are some shadows of Tibetan script in later generations, but it is not very similar.But there is no doubt that these characters have nothing to do with Chinese characters.

These characters are called Khan Lu characters in later generations.

And here at the moment, Lou Er said that these are the words of the Buddha, because these words were brought by the monks...

That's right, those people from Busen.

Busen’s master, the old monk’s old monk, was brought from the Buddhist kingdom.

what does this mean?
Among the archaeological discoveries of later generations, most of the Chinese documents unearthed in the ancient city of Loulan belong to the period between 263 and 272.The few remaining pieces date from around 330.In other words, it is a document discovered by archaeology, which belongs to the Wei and Jin Dynasties in history.Huaxia redispatched the Han people to the Loulan garrison.

Among these documents written with Chinese characters, most of them are made of wooden slips and bamboo slips. It is precisely because of this material that these characters have been preserved in the dry climate of the Western Regions.

What does this mean?
This is a big question.

Looking at these crooked fonts, Fei Qian frowned slightly.

"My lord?These writings..." Tai Shici also looked at these writings, a little dizzy, and turned to look at Fei Qian.Tai Shici seemed to have sensed something, but the position he was standing in naturally couldn't be as high as Fei Qian's. He just felt that these words were too ugly and unattractive. As for the meaning behind these words, or the background they formed , I don't have much idea yet.

"It's a pity..." Fei Qian patted the words lightly with his hand, "We should have come here earlier... Or, we should have realized this problem earlier... Ziyi, if there are gods and Buddhas in the painting in the Western Regions, The words are gods and Buddhas, what will be walking on the road?Either it is a Buddha or a ghost... Fengxian toppled the god statues and killed the monks. He may also want to expel these gods and Buddhas, but Ziyi, look, Fengxian has become a ghost... The Han people also changed accordingly. Became a ghost... and these things are still there...the gods and Buddhas are still there, shining brilliantly...』

Taishi Ci was stunned. He didn't expect Fei Qian to view these words this way.

Holding these documents, Tai Shici suddenly felt that these words looked like bugs eating the wooden tablets and sheepskin.

As the old saying goes, "power takes care of itself." 』

Where white public power cannot fill the gap, gray or even black authority will naturally fill it.

Once gray or black authority appears, it first proves one thing.

Bai Quan did not do well.

It's like the Han Dynasty opened up the Western Regions before BC, but it is not Chinese characters or Chinese that are prevalent in the Western Regions.

That's why the Han people didn't do a good job.

No amount of excuses can change that.

In many places in the Western Regions, because it was the ancient times, those tribes who migrated earlier than the Spring and Autumn Period came to the Western Regions. Most of these tribes had a simple language, but most of them did not have writing.

When these people in the Western Regions were eager for words, the Han people did not give them...

So Buddhists came and brought writing, which soon became the writing used by these Western countries.

Because the states of the Western Regions have such needs, and the people of the Western Regions have such needs, just like everyone needs food, clothing, housing, transportation, order and peace, and the Han Dynasty can't provide them, so they will find it themselves.

Who is to blame?

emperor?

Minister?

Protector of the Western Regions?

Of course we can only blame the people of the Western Regions...

For so many years, the official records of the big man have been like this. The Western Regions are full of rebellious and unruly people, uneducated pariahs...

Taishi Ci suddenly made a snap sound, clapped the wooden tablet in his hand, and said to Fei Qian: "My lord!"The subordinates understand!This is "same culture, same track"! 』

"good! ’ Fei Qian clapped his palms and smiled, affirming Tai Shici.

Fei Qian pointed to the words, "I will leave these to Ziyi... I hope I can understand the words in the future..."

Tai Shici bowed his head and accepted the order, "Don't worry, my lord!Subordinates should do their best! 』

Is not it simple?
But since the big man occupied the Western Regions, no one thought about it, or some people thought about it, but they didn't do it.

The meritorious service of Qin Shihuang is not how many people he killed in the six kingdoms, whether he slaughtered Confucian scholars or alchemists, but that he integrated the different scripts and standards of the original six kingdoms into a unified model, and he made China inseparable from now on , no matter what the accent is, as long as the written characters are the same, then they can communicate and exchange with each other, so that Chinese civilization and ideas can spread to every corner of China.

May I ask, is it possible to simply kill someone?

Of course, maybe Qin Shihuang didn't think that much when he did this, but the effect of his actions was indeed to lay a solid foundation for Chinese civilization.

In the Han Dynasty, it is a pity that Qin Shihuang's thoughts were not extended...

The Western Regions were the Western Regions before BC, and they were still the Western Regions after AD.

Why can't it become the West County of the Han Dynasty, or Tianshan County or something?

Tai Shici smiled very comfortably, because he finally found the right direction and followed Fei Qian's footsteps.

This made him completely relieved, but a new problem emerged again.

I know the direction, but what should I do?
Where to start?

Force the order to use Chinese characters instead of using Chinese characters, indicating that those who do not speak Chinese or write Chinese characters are all malicious people. The lighter ones will be punished, the severe ones will be imprisoned, and in the end, they will simply be beheaded?
This is simply the old worries go, new worries come again.Tai Shi Ci smacked his lips and sighed slightly.

I don't know if Fei Qian noticed Tai Shici's expression, so he smiled and asked someone to take some iron utensils carried by the army, put them in front of Lou Er, and asked the little official who accompanied the army to explain the iron utensils to Lou Er. use.

Old City Guard [-] didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after listening to it, he began to concentrate on it, and his expression gradually became serious. Maybe it's because his eyesight is not very good when he is old, and he almost sticks his whole body to those agricultural iron bars. On the appliance...

Tai Shici looked at it, suddenly suddenly realized, and looked back at Fei Qian.

Fei Qian nodded slightly, "Is there only the benefit of swords in the world?" 』

Taishi Ci cupped his hands and said, "My lord is wise."The subordinates will imitate the master's agricultural and engineering bachelor's method, and replace the local officials, implement the same policies and policies, and for a period of ten years, the Western Region will be regarded as the Han County! 』

"good! Fei Qian nodded, seeing that Tai Shici had indeed understood both the direction and the specific means of displaying it, and then said softly to Tai Shici, "A hundred years ago, the Han Dynasty was strong and powerful, and the countries in the Western Regions paid tribute to Han. However, when the Han Dynasty was in decline, they all renounced each other, saying that their race was different, or angry, or reprimanded, or tempted to kill them, thinking of meritorious deeds, but causing disasters.These are mediocre people with no excuses. Since Ziyi knows the true law, he should practice it. If there is something wrong or something that doesn't go well, don't rush to fix it. You can study it carefully and wear it with water. As a result, if there are ten years of work, tens of thousands of people who are close to the Han, who are proud of the Han family's food and clothing, and Chinese characters and characters, will be able to expect great stability in the Western Regions. 』

The Western Regions are like an enclave.

The Han people want it, the Huns want it too, the Xianbei people, and the Guishuang people all want it, and they've all put it into action.

More than 100 years ago, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when the Central Plains suffered internal and external troubles, the Huns who regained some strength in the northern desert began to invade the Western Regions again. They used knives and blood to subdue the people of the Western Regions again, and the Huns fought eastward. When they arrived in Zhangye, Jiuquan, they invaded Dawan to the west. In order to fight for control of the small Hu countries in the Western Regions, they also fought with the Guishuang people.

But when the power of the Huns faded again, the people of the Western Regions quickly killed those Huns who remained in the Western Regions. The land that the Huns spent time and blood on was like a sand tower on the beach, like The ice sculptures in the desert look spectacular, but they disappear without a trace in a blink of an eye.

Later the Kushans came.

He also tried to use swords and guns to make the people of the Western Regions succumb.

The Western Regions also surrendered.

Then the Guishuang people were beaten away again...

People from the Western Regions said, what is Guishuang?

If Feiqian did not come, then in history, the Xianbei people came, and then when Cao Cao unified the north, he drove away the Wuhuan people of the Xianbei people. It soon entered the period of the Five Husbands, and the Western Regions were once again out of the sight of the Central Plains.

Most of the territories conquered by force purely relying on military strength in history, if there is no civilization as a link to bridge the gap and eliminate hatred, it must lack a solid foundation. Even if it is forcibly integrated, the interior will be full of various intense contradictions.

The culture of the Han family, the civilization of the Central Plains, was originally a civilization that was very suitable for integration.

Because the ancestors created hieroglyphs!
It is inherently easier to understand intuitively than alphabetic text, and it has an absolute advantage in text communication.

The lifespan of Pinyin text is relatively short.

Because that's the accent.

say.

If you don't know how to read it, you will become a dead Awai, or a fool.

When a nation, or a war, or a plague, causes a large number of people to disappear, if the mainstream group that caused the language accent disappears and is replaced by other accents, then the words and characters written by this nation and this country will appear. A situation where what you say doesn't match.Once this happens, sub-onomatopoeic scripts, or other alphabetic scripts with evolved accents, will appear.

Therefore, pinyin is a relatively poor form of writing in terms of inheritance.

As fewer and fewer people use some characters, they eventually become dead characters. Although people can still understand them, they can no longer speak them, such as the insect characters currently used by Shanshan in the Western Regions.

In Shanshan, the ancient city of Loulan disappeared.

The inheritance of hieroglyphs is very strong. Even if people's accent changes a lot, the original meaning will still remain, and there will still be no major loss.After the Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains of China were in disarray, and the population of the Central Plains was ten houses and nine empty. In the Yuan Dynasty, there were massacres on a large scale. When the Qing Dynasty went south, there were also indiscriminate killings.

These barbaric killings even led to the annihilation of the population of entire cities and counties, causing the original official accent of the dynasty to disappear several times.However, because Chinese characters are ideographic, even if different ethnic groups in different dynasties have different accents, through the inheritance of characters, we modern people can still understand the wisdom of the ancients.

This is the secret of the continuous inheritance of Chinese culture.

From ancient times to the present, Chinese accents have undergone great changes. The more than [-] dialects in southern China in later generations are actually probably the Mandarin of the Central Plains people in various ancient periods. It was generations of Running Man who taught the southern people more The Central Plains dialect of the closed mountain boys.

This shows that although the accents of Chinese dynasties have undergone great changes, the changes in accents have not caused the decline of Chinese civilization and Chinese characters. Chinese characters have not died like some pinyin characters, but have been reborn from the ashes from generation to generation.

Now, Fei Qian just wants to plant such a powerful seed of vitality in the land of the Western Region, and then wait for her to bear fruit, wait for her to bloom enchanting, and wait for her to make millions of people fall in love!
Tai Shici felt his heart agitated, and was speechless for a while...

The guard of the old city Al was serving at the side, because he didn't understand it well, so he was a little baffled, but I don't know why I feel a little chilly in the back...

"Although the land of the Western Region is far away from the middle land, there are many contradictions here, such as human beings, gods, land, livestock and water sources..." Fei Qian said slowly, "If the people here are not led to order, they will not be able to live in peace." Educate with civilization, but raise with iron and blood, you can only get a group of wild beasts... When China becomes slightly weaker, it will erode the Han soil and plunder the Central Plains, just like the Xiongnu in Xianbei.Middle Earth can still cope with it in the early days, but over time, Middle Earth will inevitably decline and disasters will happen again..."

"The method of the same text and the same track should be like a spring breeze and light rain, moistening things silently.However, as there are spring rains and autumn harvests, there should also be hot summers and cold winters! Fei Qian raised his chin slightly and gestured in the direction of the old city guard, "The country of Shanshan wants to use the old and the weak to lead us to kill, but it doesn't know that these old and weak people have much experience, know good and evil, and argue right from wrong. If so, One sentence from him is better than a thousand words for us... Now the weather is getting colder, and King Shanshan wants to delay. When the winter winds and snow come, we have to retreat..."

Fei Qian smiled.

If we follow the old concepts and models, there is nothing wrong with Shanshan Kingdom's strategy. Just delay, wait, and endure. When Fei Qian besieges the city, it may be the coldest month of winter. When the wind and snow blow, if Fei Qian is If you don't want to take the risk of the entire army being frozen to death, you can only withdraw your troops.

But now...

"One hand shows the beauty of China and the crops, and the other hand naturally shows the power of China and the swords and guns!" 』

"This place will be repaired for three days. After Wenyuan clears out the surrounding horse thieves, he will go south." 』

"Destroy Shanshan King City! 』
