Chapter 3607: A New Blade to Eliminate the Old Law

This time, Fei Qian is going to go to the grassroots level.

Fei Qian is not the only one who can go to the grassroots level, but if you want to do it well, the top leader really needs to go to the grassroots level frequently, rather than sending some trivial and absurd people to do something like changing a signboard and considering it as implementing the idea and understanding the spirit.

Because they are temporary workers at the bottom of the ruling class, all their rights come from the endorsement or acquiescence of the upper class.

Fei Qian is responsible for wiping the shit off the political framework.

Fei Qian’s biggest problem now is the lack of redundancy in the political framework.

The transition time from insufficient redundancy to excessive redundancy is very short and difficult to balance.

Most people like to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, but they don’t want to face the feces and urine produced after eating and drinking, and they are even unwilling to accept the connection between them.

It’s like going grassroots.

Eat and drink above and suffer below.

The more it piles up, the filthier it becomes.

After all, most of the easy things have been done by predecessors, and what is left behind by each successive term is equivalent to repeated screening, and the old things that have accumulated and settled are like landmines. If not handled properly, they can easily explode directly. This leads to officials being more inclined to avoid problems that may be exposed by field investigations under the logic of avoiding accidents.

Of course, there are more factors that make officials unwilling to go to the grassroots level. These are objective problems. After all, there are too many mothers-in-law above the grassroots officials. If any of the mothers-in-law is unhappy, the daughter-in-law will have to bear the consequences. However, if the officials in charge of a place do not go to the grassroots level, they will not even know the situation of the ordinary soldiers and civilians under their jurisdiction...

Either you act stupid, or you treat everyone as a fool.

After all, an official who can climb to the level of a chief official is unlikely to be an idiot.

Moreover, officials in charge usually have fewer mothers-in-law, and whether it is the resources they control or the space they can display, they are greater than ordinary grassroots officials, so...

Just like this time, Fei Qian did not notify anyone in advance and went straight to the training ground of the Military Academy early in the morning with Xu Chu and other guards.

The Han people and the Qiang people are both the lower class of the Han Dynasty.

The result of a fight between two weaklings was not what Fei Qian wanted.

The powers of the Court of Consultative Law seem to be very impressive, but in reality there is not much that it can do. Moreover, due to its own positioning, it is impossible for it to be very close to the people. Therefore, even if Fei Qian handed the incident involving the Han and Qiang people in Longyou to the Court of Consultative Law, there might not be any good results.

Fei Qian now needs to show an attitude within a short period of time, and then let his subordinates do things according to the direction he points out, so Fei Qian can only do it himself.

Some things are difficult to do from underground to top, but very easy to do from top to bottom.

Fei Qian's current escort team is much larger than before.

It’s not that Fei Qian likes such a scene, but he has to do it.

"The Cavalry General has arrived!"

"Su! "

"present!"

Upon receiving the news of Fei Qian's arrival, the soldiers and military academies inside and outside the Military Academy all came to greet him respectfully. When they saw Fei Qian's figure under the tricolor flag, they all saluted and cheered in unison: "Long live the cavalry!"

The power contained in this shout is like the raging waves of the sea, surging and surging, and it seems like the world is being reshaped in the midst of the collapse of heaven and earth!

Times are changing, and Fei Qian is changing too.

Some of the changes were voluntary on Fei Qian's part, but some were forced, and some were even offensive.

But there is one thing in common, that is, everything is based on reality and meets the needs of interests. Just like Fei Qian came to the Lecture Hall, of course, it was not that Fei Qian was bored in the Cavalry House and went out to find some friends to climb mountains and trees to dig out bird nests.

Fei Qian came to the Lecture Hall because it was an extension of the issue of Qiang and Han people raised by Jiayu.

The old turtle wasn't really trying to trick Fei Qian. Maybe it was just an old problem that was showing up, or maybe it was some kind of test for Fei Qian...

The reason why Fei Qian chose to use the Military Academy to break the impasse was because there were also quite a few Qiang soldiers in the Academy.

Once a war breaks out, whether it is a long-term confrontation or a local recurrence, soldiers will be needed and there will be casualties. People are not like leeks or weeds that will grow on their own in spring and can be harvested at any time. Instead, they need at least ten or twenty years to grow and become useful. Therefore, Fei Qian must consider at least twenty years, or even longer term, today.

Fei Qian came to the training ground of the Military Academy today to set an example, a template, to offset the previous conflicts between the Qiang and Han people in Longyou.

Only by cooperating, coordinating and trusting each other can we win the current war.

In the Longyou incident, both the Han people were wrong and the Qiang people were also wrong.

This is not Fei Qian's attempt to smooth things over or to give both sides a slap on the wrist, but this incident shows that the Han and Qiang peoples are still in an environment of mutual opposition and invasion.

If this kind of thing is not handled properly, the weak ones will fight each other, and then it will easily lead to a chaos. In the chaotic scene, it is hard to say what kind of things will get mixed in.

The Han people’s ideas need to be governed.

The customs of the Qiang people also need to be governed.

In any matter, you cannot have conservative habits, an open body, and a dependent life, while pursuing independence verbally, being partial to benefits and showing weakness when encountering difficulties.

The Qiang and Han peoples were in conflict and did not cooperate with each other, and everyone felt that they were the one suffering the loss.

This in itself is very problematic.

It was also hard for Fei Qian not to suspect that there were some evil spirits hiding behind this.

But from a certain perspective, ghosts and monsters are just like flies. As long as there is darkness, there will be these things. However, if there is no crack on the egg, the fly cannot bite in.

Therefore, most people would stop here, but few would consider why a crack suddenly appeared on the egg that was originally fine?

What was it that was cold, hard, and cruel, that cracked the egg?
Using the people to fight against the people can indeed save officials and the ruling class some trouble at certain times. After all, the main contradictions have been transferred to the people, and there won't be so many people staring at the upper class.

After all, even if you are a rich and powerful man, you still can't bear to see the poor people have no food to eat...

It is always better to let the poor fight with each other than to let the poor target the gentlemen.

Later, the United States was divided into 97 genders, which was more than the number of states. When the 97 genders accused, cursed, and fought each other, the gentlemen were very happy.

The morning sun rises.

In the training grounds of the Military Academy, soldiers were lined up and formed into battle formations.

Fei Qian stood on the high platform, looking at the array of soldiers below. Although there was nothing unusual on the surface, his heart sank slightly.

Jia Xu's attack was indeed not without purpose. When Fei Qian saw the troops below the stage, he realized that some problems had actually arisen.

Because the queues below the stage, although not very obvious, have already become somewhat distinct...

Although they were wearing the same armor and holding the same leather shields, the Qiang and Han people seemed to have lined up separately.

The Qiang people follow the Qiang people, and the Han people follow the Han people, as if there was a tempered film in between.

From a certain perspective, humans, as biological organisms, have both individual attributes and national attributes. As social beings, human beings have a dual identity and a dialectical unity. In daily life, it is through individual behavior and teamwork that we achieve collective interests, social development, and national progress.

This originally contradictory and unified relationship is itself a community of contradictions.

The state's actions towards one or some individuals will also have an impact on other individuals.

After all, the force is mutual...

Human beings' natural attributes as mammals determine their instinctive needs for survival, while their social attributes form national identity through the process of socialization.

Whether it is the ancient feudal dynasties or the later capitalist states, every individual who builds society and the country forms what Hobbes called the "Leviathan Contract" by giving up part of their natural rights in exchange for public security.

This exchange relationship both constrains and protects individuals...

But what if, during this process, someone suddenly wants to agree and oppose at the same time?

I want a state where I can agree and disagree at the same time, or even the privilege of agreeing beforehand but being able to regret during the process, or even deny it afterwards...

So even if we sign more contracts, what’s the point?

If even the most basic contracts in a society or a country are not effective, then what will be destroyed?
When the Tower of Contract collapses, who will profit from it?

So it is self-evident what these evil spirits who advocate, incite, delete and block are trying to do. Of course, this problem is not unsolvable.

In addition to Fei Qian who can stand on a high place and deal with it from top to bottom, if the bottom-level people are in the situation, as time goes by, they will eventually evolve into Axelrod's "repeated prisoner's dilemma" model to finally get out of the predicament.

This experiment proves that in long-term repeated prisoner interactions, the prisoners' ultimate action orientation and the best strategy are "tit-for-tat".

However, when the tit-for-tat strategy was widely used, it actually promoted mutual cooperation among the "prisoners".

It’s like history is always spiraling upwards, and it looks like a simple repetition, but in fact, every deviation is marked with a price…

Perhaps it was because Fei Qian stood on the stage for too long, or perhaps the scrutiny in Fei Qian's eyes was noticed by others, and a slight noise began to arise in the training ground.

"Beat the drum."

Fei Qian suddenly spoke.

"Prepare for the martial arts performance."

The roaring sound of war drums immediately covered up all the noise in the area.

Instead of trying to explain all the noise, it is better to set an example and silence everything with the sound of thunder.

Of course, it is real thunder, not false promises.

Just like the "repeated prisoner's dilemma" experiment, tit-for-tat is the prisoner's instinct and the simplest corresponding rule.

Fei Qian signaled Xu Chu to come forward, and then, amid the sound of drums, he told Xu Chu something...

Xu Chu bowed and accepted the order, then began to organize the soldiers for drills.

"Attack and Defense of Sishui Pass".

The direct guards brought by Fei Qian acted as the "Cao Army", while the soldiers in the Military Academy acted as the "Qiaoqi Army".

In this world, it is not always the case that just because your fist is big, it always makes sense. But if your fist is big, at some point, it can smash all the mouths that want to make a sound. Then, when no one can make a sound, even if the sound made by the fist is small, others will just listen obediently...

Especially during war.

So at this critical juncture, were these officials who dealt with issues between the Han and Qiang people intentional or deliberate?

Fei Qian was not sure, but he understood that if the relationship between the Han and Qiang peoples was not handled well, then other relationships would be even more difficult to handle!
In the pre-Qin period, a large proportion of the population were Qiang people.

Or they could be the ancient Qiang people.

In the pre-Qin period, the area around Qinghai was inhabited by the ancient Qiang people, who were called "Western Rong" or "Rong Di". During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the ancient Qiang people established the Yiqu State and fought against the Qin State for more than 170 years. It was not until the Qin Shihuang period that these Rong tribes, mainly the ancient Qiang people, were gradually integrated into the Qin State and fought under the command of Qin Shihuang.

The Han Dynasty also established four counties in the Hexi Corridor, namely Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Wuwei, and posted the post of Protector of the Qiang to manage the affairs of the Qiang people.

Therefore, the relationship between the Han people and the Qiang people is the earliest, closest, and most basic interethnic relationship. If we can't even handle such a problem, how can we deal with other more complex and more distant interethnic relationships?
What's the point of talking about advancing into Shandong and taking control of the Central Plains?

They can’t even sort out and handle the relationship between the Han and Qiang people in their own territory, but they still want to handle the people, nobles, gentry, and wealthy people in other regions where the conflicts are more complicated and intense?

While Fei Qian was thinking, the martial arts performance in the training ground had already begun under the auspices of Xu Chu...

A sandstorm arose in the northwest corner of the parade ground. The Qiang cavalry of Team B2 did not deploy their formation despite the charge horn. Instead, they successfully chopped down the dummy targets that had been set up. There was even some panic among the cavalry due to their cramped position.

From the Han Chinese formation standing nearby, there came harsh laughter.

The Qiang centurion Wuerle glared with bloodshot eyes, and chopped off a piece of the flagpole with the scimitar in his hand. Then, under the instructor's scolding, he angrily threw off his helmet. If he had not been held back by several Qiang people around him, he might have argued with the instructor on the spot.

The Han army was laughing, but soon they couldn't laugh anymore.

Because according to the requirements of the martial arts performance, they had to climb the city wall under the cover of the Qiang people's rain of arrows, but they had already lined up under the hypothetical city wall, and the originally planned rain of arrows did not fall on the top of the city wall.

"Release the arrow! Release the arrow quickly!"

Chen Zhong, the commander of the Han army, roared and slapped the shield in his hand with his knife.

But still no rain of arrows fell.

"No more waiting! Go! Go! Go!"

Chen Zhong shouted and started to order his men to "climb the city wall".

But at this moment, a rain of arrows fell...

Arrows covered with fine yellow dust fell on their bodies and heads, creating yellow dots and raising clouds of dust.

"Fuck you!"

Chen Zhong jumped up and down and cursed, but the instructor told him that he had been hit by several arrows and had to withdraw from the martial arts exercise immediately.

The instructors standing on the training ground with Fei Qian, headed by Ma Yan, were all sweating, with sweat dripping down their faces.

Fei Qian did not look at these instructors, but continued to look at the other soldiers in the military training ground.

Among these military academy soldiers, some were indeed laughing and whispering in glee, but there were also some who were frowning and looking worried. Unfortunately, those who were frowning did not speak, so the whispering prevailed.

Perhaps at the beginning, when the right and wrong are not too outrageous, correction only requires a fair word.

Even if it’s buying and selling.

Even if the deal fails, the friendship remains. We can still be friends when we meet next time, or at least just nodding acquaintances, and it won't be too awkward for either party.

As a result, they signed the contract, negotiated the terms, and then changed their minds if they wanted to, and disagreed if they didn't want to, and they could withdraw what they had agreed to. This does not even have the most basic integrity. So what face do they have and what qualifications do they have to be so high-handed and give orders?
If it was a favor at the beginning, it would be fine. But in fact, both parties were pursuing interests from the beginning, so naturally a basic contract was needed to provide a guarantee.

Both the Han and Qiang people want more and feel that I cannot suffer any loss.

When the two sides met, they were like chickens fighting each other.

Then the demons and monsters all around, hehe, hahahaha…

If Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, had made the three agreements before entering Chang'an, and then immediately withdrew the agreements after entering Chang'an, would the Han Dynasty still exist?
The result is that no one talks about this simplest truth.

Not only did he not say anything, he also added fuel to the fire.

Once the cracks are blackened by interests and bitten by flies, they will inevitably rot.

Fei Qian's expression was serious and he said nothing.

The order and formation of the martial arts performance were all arranged by Xu Chu according to Fei Qian's requirements, and the instructors were not allowed to intervene. Therefore, the things that were originally hidden under the song of "Comrades in Arms" were revealed.

Only after taking off the clothes did I know whether it was a person or a ghost underneath.

The martial arts performance was still going on, and the most outrageous thing was not on the west side of the parade ground, but on the "Sishui City Wall" on the south side of the parade ground.

In the simulated night attack climbing procession, the Han squad leader insisted on using the iron hook rope to climb the city wall, while the other team of Qiang soldiers said that lasso was their priority. The two teams of soldiers actually quarreled loudly under the city wall. Despite the instructor's scolding, they still refused to give up and split into two teams, one Han team used the five-claw hook rope, and the other Qiang team used the lasso rope.

The five-clawed iron hooks of the Han soldiers were stuck on the "Sishui City Wall". They were indeed firm, but the problem was that there were not enough five-clawed hooks, which forced the Han soldiers to slowly climb down the "city wall" one by one, while the Qiang people carrying ropes were trying to put the lasso on the battlements of the "Sishui City Wall". However, due to the lack of adhesion of the lasso, they slipped again and again...

The instructor watched from the side, his face covered with sweat, and seemed to want to say something, but after looking at the cavalry guards standing beside him, he finally said nothing.

On the "Sishui City Wall", the cavalry guards pretending to be "Cao's garrison" looked up at Xu Chu in the distance, then waved their hands and gave orders.

The straw rolls representing rolling stones and logs were thrown down from the "city wall" and hit the heads of the Han and Qiang people who were climbing up. The dust in the straw rolls fell on the heads of the Han and Qiang people, choking them and making them cough.

Amid the chaos of smoke and coughing, Xu Chu's angry roar, like a thunder version, was heard, "All members of Team B2 are killed! Withdraw from the martial arts performance!"

On the high platform of the parade ground, it was eerily quiet.

The instructors, led by Ma Yan, could not withstand such pressure and knelt down in front of Fei Qian.

The Han and Qiang soldiers at the parade ground seemed to have just realized the seriousness of the problem. After initially looking at each other in bewilderment, they could not help but lower their heads...

The training ground was filled with smoke and dust.

When everyone stopped and calmed down, they realized that everyone was covered in dust and no one looked any better than anyone else.
