Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3504 Zi Jing, Zi Jing

Fei Qian thinks that Lu Su is strong, which is a relatively objective evaluation.

Among the Three Kingdoms in history, Wei seemed to have more talents, but don't forget that Wei was the final winner, and the winner could naturally write more, while the others could just learn from the old scholar and use the Spring and Autumn style of writing.

With different positions, the views are naturally different.

Standing outside the torrent of history, one can certainly say that Zhou Yu was short-sighted, Lu Su was stupid, and Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong of Jiangdong were all clinging to their shortcomings...

But if you stand in Jiangdong's perspective, what these people did was almost all the results they obtained and the way out they found after they exhausted all their talents and strength!

When Zhou Yu found Lu Su, did Lu Su also make the final, and what he thought was the best, choice under the limited conditions at the time and within the scope of his knowledge?

After all, Yuan Shu had already exposed his bad nature at that time. Not only did he have no respect for his own elders, but he even disrespected the envoys from the court...

Ok?

Fei Qian frowned slightly and tapped his fingers on the table a few times, "Zi Jing has come all the way to the customs, I wonder if he has been negligent in any way?"

Lu Su coughed. As a cavalry officer, how could you not know whether this was a slow treatment or not? But he obviously couldn't say anything directly, so he just smiled and said, "The cavalry officers treated me very warmly and didn't neglect me at all..."

Fei Qian nodded and stood up.

Lu Su was stunned. He didn't understand what Fei Qian meant, and subconsciously followed Fei Qian and stood up.

"Zi Jing, now that the emperor has issued an edict here, there should be no trouble on the front line..." Fei Qian smiled and extended his hand to invite him, "Zi Jing has been in a hurry all the way, so he must not have taken a close look... I wonder if you could trouble Zi Jing to go with me to check out the local customs?"

Lu Su's eyebrows jumped, "This... I'm afraid it's inappropriate... After all, I'm an outsider..."

Fei Qian smiled and said, "All people in the world are subjects of the world, so what is the difference between inside and outside?!"

After hearing this, Lu Su couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Are you sure you're not talking about the 'Son of Heaven'?" But Fei Qian's words did make sense, and Lu Su didn't have much reason to refuse.

"Prepare your horses!"

Fei Qian waved his hand and walked out first.

Lu Su was a little confused, but after thinking for a moment, he followed him out.

During the military training at Tongguan, Fei Qian asked Xu Chu to continue to watch and not to relax. Then he left Tongguan with a battalion of direct guards, crossed the forbidden ditch, and headed towards Guanzhong.

The flags are waving and the cold wind is howling.

The wind at the end of November is already very cold.

Dark clouds continued to come from the north, and then piled up layer by layer above the head, as if they would break some invisible support in the sky in the next moment, and then collapse and fall down.

Fei Qian rode his horse forward while reflecting on himself.

Sometimes, people tend to replace everyone else's ideas and positions with their own ideas and positions.

Fei Qian thought that job-hopping was a normal thing, even like eating a meal, if you don't eat at this Shaxian, you can eat at that Shaxian. Which Shaxian doesn't taste the same? But for the people of Dahan at that time, job-hopping was like a second life, a matter of life and death.

Therefore, for Lu Su, even if Fei Qian talked a lot, he would not leave Jiangdong easily.

However, for Fei Qian, there might not be no chance at all...

If you are a human being, you will have desires.

Some desires are bigger, some are smaller, some desires can be put on the table, and some desires are also hidden...

Does Lu Su have any desires?

Not now, but what about in the future?

One thing is certain, the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness that ordinary celebrities often talk about are definitely not what Lu Su needs.

So what did Lu Su want?

The group rode their horses and quickly crossed the forbidden ditch and arrived at the Zuo Fengyi area.

In fact, Lu Su's life in Jiangdong was not all smooth sailing.

Because Lu Su's starting point was not high, although Yuan Shu had heard of Lu Su's name, he only sent someone to tell Lu Su that he should "take the post of Chief of East City", which was probably a county magistrate. Lu Su was unwilling to do so, and he also felt that Yuan Shu was arrogant and rude, so he did not go.

Fei Qian also thought of this point, so he felt that just sitting in the hall, saying a few words to Lu Su, and expecting Lu Su to turn around and bow was obviously not realistic.

What Lu Su wanted to obtain might be similar to what Zhuge Liang wanted to obtain in history...

In later generations, Fei Qian also saw many such people.

As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox.

In a small company, it’s the boss; in a large company, it’s the employees.

Lu Su had great ambitions. What he wanted was to be valued, or at least to be able to give advice to his master. Yuan Shu gave him a position as a county magistrate, but Lu Su was unwilling to do so. Some people might say, "It's okay to start from a low position. A county magistrate is not a small position to start from, right?" If you make achievements, you will naturally be promoted. People should be down-to-earth.

That won't work. The atmosphere in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms was like this. Celebrities were generally unwilling to start from the bottom. Although Lu Su was not a celebrity, he was also deeply influenced by this atmosphere. For example, Pang Tong, who was later appointed as a county magistrate by Liu Bei, was unwilling to do his job well. Another example is Jiang Wan, who was also appointed as a county magistrate by Liu Bei, but he didn't do his job well either. Everyone wanted to rely on their own talents and fame to rise to the top and become an important official by the lord's side. If they couldn't become important officials, they would rather stay at home than go out and be a small official.

This is a problem of the entire Han Dynasty, and it is obviously unreasonable to blame Lu Su alone.

Lu Su was not given much importance during the reign of Sun Ce, because Zhang Zhao was overshadowing him at that time. It was not until the reign of Sun Quan that Zhang Zhao became a bit overbearing and Sun Quan was very dissatisfied and wanted to promote his own think tank. Lu Su then seized the opportunity and successfully entered the decision-making circle of Jiangdong's political affairs.

Fei Qian felt that this was something worth considering...

Fei Qian led Lu Su and his party straight to Zhengguo Canal.

Although winter is bitterly cold, it is also the best time to repair canals.

At this time, not much water is needed to irrigate farmland, so the canals can be blocked, the silt can be cleared, and checks can be made for water seepage or collapse, waiting for the water in the spring and summer of next year.

If a country or a dynasty wants to develop, it must pay attention to agriculture.

Without strong agriculture, everything else is just a dream.

During the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, there were also some powerful and frightening armies, but these guys did not produce anything and turned to cannibalism when they ran out of food. They were eventually wiped out completely, and even the few remnants changed their names and went into hiding.

When Fei Qian took back Guanzhong, he vigorously developed Guanzhong's agriculture, especially agricultural tools. He set up special institutions and dispatched professional personnel to distribute, teach and use them, which improved the overall agricultural production efficiency of Guanzhong. Especially in the use of livestock, it far exceeded the original Eastern Han Dynasty, making Guanzhong's farming more reasonable and refined.

In particular, Fei Qian seized part of the land in Guanzhong from the landlord class and released it to ordinary farmers, which naturally gave rise to a large number of self-cultivating farmers or farming farmers who were affiliated with Fei Qian's organization.

These self-cultivating farmers and military farmers were obviously more enthusiastic about farming than serfs or tenants. They not only cultivated their own farmland, but also tried every means to expand their economic income in other areas.

Different from the original system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fei Qian not only focused on farming, but also on the development of animal husbandry.

Guanzhong did not burn wasteland and open up farmland randomly as before, but consciously preserved some grassland and shrub land, interlaced between fields, as a reserve for oxen or horses, as well as some economic livestock such as sheep and chickens. On the one hand, it is convenient for farmers to get grass nearby and raise cattle and sheep, and on the other hand, it can maintain a certain amount of water and soil to prevent a large amount of loess from being lost.

Such an initiative was undoubtedly the first of its kind in the Han Dynasty, and it was also the first time since the Han Dynasty that a template of integrated agriculture and cross-reclamation and utilization appeared.

The maintained grassland and shrubs not only did not reduce the yield of arable land, but on the contrary, the use of oxen and the feces of animals such as cattle and sheep promoted the further development of agriculture and even further changed the sanitary environment of Chang'an and the surrounding mausoleums!

In the past, no one cared about the excrement of cattle and sheep. They would just poop wherever they went. Inspections and fines were imposed, but this did not change the habit much. As long as the inspections did not see it or failed to control it, people would just poop anywhere, just like cattle and sheep.

But when composting technology began to spread to all parts of Guanzhong, feces suddenly became popular. Not only did people in the city start to collect feces, but even on the roads outside the city, if old farmers saw feces from cattle and sheep, they would pick it up with a smile and put it into their own compost... As a result, the roads became cleaner little by little, and the feces and urine on the streets gradually disappeared.

Any technology must have prerequisites. In China, this prerequisite is the pressure of survival.

The Chinese nation needs a certain amount of pressure, both external and internal.

If the Chinese population was not so large, there would not be a need to reclaim so much land, and they would not have migrated and developed from Guanzhong to the plains.

If there had not been obstacles from other tribes during the development process, there would have been no process of unifying China, and there would have been no unified country at all.

Just like Western Europe, with its mild climate and fertile land, until the Middle Ages, the streets were still full of feces and urine, and farmers still used wooden sticks to poke holes in the ground and then threw some seeds in to do the farming. Because there was no such urgent agricultural demand, let alone spending time to improve any technology, for hundreds of years, they still used slash-and-burn farming, using an agricultural production model that China had abandoned for hundreds of years.

But what’s interesting is that, under such environmental conditions, all of a sudden, all the thinkers and scientists in the West came to their senses in a short period of time. They began to worry about the country and the people in the streets full of shit and urine, and began to package and sell tons of technology...

At the Zhengguo Canal, the soldiers on duty saw Fei Qian and his party coming from afar, so they sent someone to report to Zao Zhi while hurriedly going to meet them.

Fei Qian did not drive his horse directly to the side of Zhengguo Canal to point and talk, but dismounted from a hill some distance away from Zhengguo Canal and climbed up the hill to look over.

"Where is the farmland? At the mouth of Chiyang Valley.

"Zheng State is in front, Baiqu is behind.

"Lifting the hoe makes clouds; opening the canal makes rain."

"One stone of Jing water contains several buckets of mud."

"Both irrigate and fertilize the fields, so that our crops can grow."

"The capital city provides food and clothing for hundreds of millions of people."

From a distance, one could hear the people who were repairing the Zhengguo Canal singing ballads.

Fei Qian gazed at the Zhengguo Canal and began to recite along...

This is a ballad about Zhengguo Canal that is sung in Guanzhong, or it can be called Zheng Baiqu Song.

This kind of song, like the pop music of later times, was quite popular among the common people. They might not understand the meaning of every word or how it was written, but they knew how to sing it. Even if they didn't know how to sing it, they would become familiar with it after singing it a few times with the guidance of the petty officials.

Zhengguo Canal, Baiqu Canal, and other canals formed a network structure, making full use of Jingshui, Weishui and Luoshui for irrigation, which led to the flourishing of water conservancy in Guanzhong.

Whenever he sees these great engineering projects, Fei Qian feels a genuine sense of pride.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, those wise and capable leaders indeed left an indelible and brilliant legacy for future generations.

The Great Wall, Zhengguo Canal, and Dujiangyan Irrigation System all demonstrate the spirit of a ruler!

Lu Su also followed him up the hill and looked at the busy repair work of Zhengguo Canal in silence.

He vaguely guessed what Fei Qian meant by bringing him here.

Fei Qian had demonstrated his military strength before, and now what he wanted to see was his agricultural strength.

This made Lu Su somewhat uncomfortable.

Because what Fei Qian did was completely different from what Lu Su had originally expected!

Didn’t we agree to chat in Tongguan? Why did you change the scene so quickly?

The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.

No matter what, Fei Qian's current strength can indeed be called a "country"...

Lu Su originally thought that Fei Qian would have a heated debate with him, and then test each other by citing classics. In this process, Lu Su could show his outstanding talents and knowledge, and on the other hand, he could flexibly adjust his goals. Whether it was to complete the emperor's order, to explore Fei Qian's strength, or to simply establish a good relationship with Fei Qian, it was all up to Lu Su's thoughts...

In other words, Lu Su originally believed that even if Fei Qian had won militarily, in politics, or in terms of justice, Lu Su was the one who held the initiative!

As a result, Lu Su now vaguely felt that he was becoming passive.

Lu Su felt that Fei Qian's attitude towards him had changed, but he didn't know why there was such a change...

Fei Qian didn't turn around to look at Lu Su, but he could sense some of Lu Su's emotional changes, so he smiled slightly. On the way to Zhengguo Canal, he reflected on himself, and then realized that he had made some mistakes in his treatment of Lu Su.

Is Lu Su strong?

It's really strong.

But Lu Su was so powerful, what was the ending of Jiangdong?

Thinking of this, Fei Qian suddenly felt relieved.

Especially when he stood on this hill and saw the busy people on the Zhengguo Canal not far away, Fei Qian's thoughts became clearer.

The prosperity of the country and the strength of the Chinese nation lie in the strength of the whole, not in the strength of the individual!

In terms of political tactics, balancing skills, and ruling officials, was Empress Dowager Cixi strong? She could imprison anyone the emperor wanted, and kill the concubines if she wanted. Her tactics were ruthless, and she had the final say in the court. Wasn't that enough for her to be arbitrary and decisive? But what was the use of such tactics?

Ultimately, it is the leaders who stand on the side of the people and meet the needs of the people and what the people desire that are truly powerful!

This kind of power is overwhelming and can even change the world!

This power of the people is an invisible yet powerful force that comes from the wisdom, courage, unity and innovation of all the people.

To follow the will of heaven is actually to follow the will of the people!

The people are the true will of God!

So, the question is, does Lu Su, who is so smart, follow the will of the people and heaven?

As a result, Fei Qian's original intention to keep Lu Su suddenly faded, and he considered more issues.

Judging from Lu Su's previous trajectory, he would definitely not be satisfied with the position of "Chief of East City", so if Lu Su is to be retained, he must be offered a position that is much higher than his current one!

Don’t talk about how loyal Lu Su was to Sun Quan. It was because Lu Su was smart enough that he knew that after surrendering to Cao Cao, people like him would have no status at all!

The biggest difference between Lu Su and Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others is that Lu Su's background is lower!

Zhang and Gu were both from prominent families, so after surrendering to Cao Cao, they only asked that their original assets not be infringed upon. As long as their family business was still there, they could naturally enjoy superior treatment!

But what family property did Lu Su have?

Therefore, once they surrender, he and Zhou Yu and others will be the ones who suffer the most!

Just like Xu Shu...

The Jizhou and Yuzhou factions have been fighting for status until their brains are all mixed up. What room is left for people from other places?

So if Lu Su stayed in Jiangdong, he would enjoy the treatment of a state-level aide. If he went to Cao Cao, it would be a great achievement for him to be a county magistrate in a remote area. Would Lu Su be willing to do that?

So, Fei Qian wants to keep Lu Su, but does not offer him extraordinary treatment. Will Lu Su agree?

Do you really think that everyone can realize the importance of the common people?

Ma Yue’s incident also sounded a firm alarm for Fei Qian!

The people under Fei Qian now lack the awareness of unity of purpose, unified cognition, and mutual cooperation. If they introduce a few external talents, can the company be successfully reorganized and listed immediately?

The bugs in the old version have not been updated and resolved. If new code is added and forced to run, I am afraid that in the end it will inevitably fall into the abyss of shitty codes and never get up again!

After Fei Qian let go of the idea of ​​winning over Lu Su, he naturally took on the attitude of a sage who was strong without desires. No matter whether Lu Su was big and white or round and tender, he treated everyone equally during the sage's time without any ripples.

In the distance, Zao Zhi heard that Fei Qian was coming, so he rode over on his horse.

"Haha! Zi Jing is here!" Fei Qian suddenly laughed, "This is Zi Jing, and that is also Zi Jing, but I wonder if Zi Jing knows Zi Jing?"

When Lu Su heard this, his heart skipped a beat!

What does Fei Qian mean by this sentence?

Before Lu Su could figure out the meaning behind Fei Qian's words, he saw Fei Qian waving to the people coming down the mountain, and then a man wearing a simple black robe and covered in mud and dust came up with a smile...

Is this Zao Zhi Zao Zijing?

If it weren't for Fei Qian's introduction, Lu Su would have thought that Zao Zhi was just a minor official in the fields, at most an envoy to encourage farmers...

Ah!

Could it be...

Does this mean what the cavalry said, "Zi Jing knows Zi Jing"?
