At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 126, Reverse Practice of "The Book of Shang Jun" and the Wisdom of Later Generations

On the way back, Xu Fan asked Chen Ping: "Can a bamboo building like this be produced using the streamlined method of producing weapons?"

Chen Ping wondered: "General, this is a house for people to live in. How can it be streamlined?"

He does understand streamlined production. This term was brought by Xu Fan. In Chenjun Arsenal, almost all weapons are produced in this way.

Xu Fandao: "The construction is standardized like the production of weapons. Bamboo slices can be woven into bamboo rafts, coated with yellow mud and dried in the sun to become a large wall. Then, like a city pool, the gaps between the two bamboo rafts are fixed, and the yellow mud is dried. Pour the mud in, and you can get a strong bamboo building. Of course, you don’t want to go through the trouble of lining the bamboo with yellow mud to form a wall, so it can be built faster.”

The people who moved to Yingchuan County built bamboo buildings in order to live in their own houses quickly, so Xu Fan came up with the idea. Bamboo rafts can be made into prefabricated panels in later generations, which is more efficient. Xu Fan explained very carefully, and Chen Ping also listened very carefully, and quickly understood what Xu Fan meant.

"Subordinate, let's arrange a group of bamboo buildings to try the general's method." Chen Ping said.

In the next few days, Xu Fan has been inspecting the villages of immigrants to understand their needs. These immigrants are also very satisfied with their current life. Because they are the families of soldiers, each of their families has been assigned 100 acres of fertile land. The rebels also helped them build Houses, these are the common people who have made great contributions, and the officials of the rebel army beat gongs and drums to let everyone know, and let other villagers congratulate them.

Under the rule of the rebels, there were no corvees, taxes were reduced, and there were no Qin officials who were always arresting people. They were very satisfied with their current lives. The only thing they worried about was their relatives who followed the rebels to fight.

Originally, Xu Fan planned to go to Chen County to formulate a strategy for attacking the south, and then send troops to attack Nanyang County and other places, so he had no idea of ​​disbanding the army. However, after understanding the needs of the people, Xu Fan knew that this problem must be solved, otherwise The morale of the military is unstable.

Yingyin County, school field.

At this moment, colorful flags are fluttering, gongs and drums are noisy, there are huge crowds of people, firecrackers are blasting, and 40,000 soldiers who have retreated from Sanchuan County are all lined up here.

On the stage were Xu Fan and other senior leaders of the rebel army. Xu Fan didn't understand how to reward soldiers in this era, but how to hold a commendation meeting in the army in later generations was very visible when he was a soldier.

When all the soldiers arrived, Xu Fan said loudly: "In the battle of Sanchuan County, our army annihilated 5 people from Li You's tribe, which can be said to be a great victory. Today's meeting is to commend the soldiers who made contributions in the battle of Sanchuan County.

The first to be commended is the hero who captured Qin Yang, the former camp captain of the Qin army. The former army's left camp A Division Zuoqu Dingtun, Tun Changzhong, team leader Xiaohei, team leader Xiaolan went up to the ring to accept the commendation. "

The three important people in the audience were still chatting in a low voice: "The person who made the contribution this time has the same name as us?"

Zhong whispered: "There are 4 rebels, and there may be people with the same name as us. We are small soldiers and are still reduced to pawns. How can we have great achievements befall us?"

Xiaolan was unconvinced and said: "We captured Captain Qin Yang, this is not a great achievement."

Zhong said helplessly: "That's because the captain commanded it well. Such a great achievement cannot be claimed by us mere pawns."

But at this time Qu Changwu said: "What are you still doing? The general has called your name, hurry up."

Only then did Zhong San and the others realize that the person above was calling them. The three people came out of the queue in a panic, and then walked towards the high platform step by step.

When they got to the high platform, the drum beat became more intense, and the three of them almost fell down in fright.

Xu Fan, Yingbu and Chen Lin shook hands with them respectively.

Xu Fan loudly said to the soldiers below: "The three of them broke through the Qin Army's defense line and captured the captain Qin Yang who was commanding the front line of the Qin Army. They made great contributions to the victory of our rebel army. Zhong, Xiaohei, and Xiaolan are all first-rate. Heroes, the whole army must learn from them."

Three soldiers came over carrying a small desk.

Xu Fan, Yingbu and Chen Lin took the gold seals of first-class meritorious officials engraved on the desk and pinned them on their chests.

At this moment, Zhong San and the others felt that their breathing was short of breath.

Xu Fan smiled and said: "Let all the soldiers in the army take a look at your merit medals!"

The three of them turned to face the soldiers in the audience.

Xu Fan was the first to applaud, followed by Yingbu, Chen Lin and other senior rebels, and the soldiers below also clapped, and there was thunderous applause.

This situation made Zhong and the others speechless with excitement. They had never been watched by so many people in their lives, nor had they been praised by so many people. The three of them were all in a state of elation.

Then Ge Ying, Deng Zong, and Wu Sheng led an ox cart to the ring. On the ox cart were placed a full set of iron farm tools, 10 pieces of linen, and 5 pieces of silk. These rewards were placed in the most conspicuous place. In order for all the soldiers in the army to see it, Ge Ying and others handed over the ox cart to the three of them.

The applause from below became more intense. The three Zhong people were all ordinary soldiers, and they were also demoted soldiers. They could also do what Zhong could do, so this applause was not only for Zhong and them, but also for himself.

Xu Fan also saw this scene with satisfaction. He wanted the soldiers to fight hard, and the rewards for them must be "visible and tangible." He always made something like making 9000 a day or a million in three years. Who are you trying to fool? .

Then Xu Fan continued: "The soldiers from Quantun who captured Qin Yang won the second-class collective merit, and the soldiers from Dingtun came to the stage to receive the commendation."

All the heavy soldiers from Natun came to the ring, and then the same process followed. Xu Fan, Yingbu, Chen Lin, Ge Ying and other senior officials, as well as the rebel staff, etc., each helped them pin a silver seal engraved with the second-class hero. .

Finally, Xu Fan took out a flag with the word "trap" written on it. The commander of the camp took the flag excitedly. Xu Fan said: "In the future, Ding Tun will be renamed Fengzhen Tun. As long as the rebels are still there, the establishment of Fengzhen Tun will never be revoked. Fengzhen Tun will also have a history of the camp to record the contributions and deeds of Chong and other people. The soldiers of Fengzhen Tun will never be abolished." I will never forget the contribution of Zhong, Xiaohei and Xiaolan to trap the enemy."

As soon as Xu Fan said this, the applause from the audience became more intense. Many soldiers' hands were red. This was the first time someone told them that they should remember the contributions of ordinary soldiers and even record their deeds. The soldiers were envious that they could actually go down in history. At the same time, they also thought of dying for their confidants.

The soldiers in the camp were even more excited. The commander of the camp kept waving the flag so that the soldiers could clearly see the word "trap" fluttering in the wind.

Next, the elder led a group of soldiers and pushed hundreds of wheelbarrows up, with 10 pieces of linen and some iron farm tools placed on them. These were rewards for the soldiers in the camp.

Next, Xu Fan also read out the rewards for a group of soldiers who had made meritorious services. There were thousands of second-class meritorious service personnel. After thousands of soldiers received commendations, Xu Fan finally led the horse and let Zhong ride on a tall horse, followed by Ying Bu The same goes for others.

Three first-class heroes, the general led the horse at the front. Behind the horses were the ox carts pulling their rewards. Thousands of second-class heroes pushed wheelbarrows loaded with their rewards. At the front of the team was the army. drummers, they were beating gongs and drums all the way, and they were very lively and paraded around the county town to praise their achievements.

The whole people of Yingyin County saw this scene. The general led the horse, the hero wore a red flower and rode a big horse, and there were enviable rewards behind. All the heroes became the objects of discussion and envy of the people, and Chong San People are the center of attention, and the young people around them have a feeling that men should be like this.

In addition to these thousands of heroes, all the soldiers who experienced the Battle of Sanchuan County were rewarded with 5 shi of food. Then Xu Fan dismissed the entire army, let the soldiers go home, and told them that the holiday was only for one month, and one After a month, they will return to camp.

Hearing this news, all the soldiers cheered. After all, wealth and wealth are not returned to their hometowns, just like walking at night in brocade clothes. At this time, thousands of soldiers have experienced the most glorious time in their lives. They urgently need to return home in wealth and wealth to satisfy their spiritual needs.

Xu Fan also looked at these excited people leaving the military camp with a satisfied look. Now these rebel soldiers have 5 shadows of the army of later generations. At least they have begun to cherish the honor of the rebels, and this is what Xu Fan has always expected. .

The Qin Dynasty used Shang Junshu to rule the people, and what they did every day was to fool the people, weaken the people, tire the people, humiliate the people, and impoverish the people. But Xu Fan came from later generations, from the glorious and traditional army of later generations. He understood that this approach had no future. Yes, Xu Fan simply practiced the "Shang Jun Shu" backwards based on the content of the "Shang Jun Shu" and the advanced experience of later generations.

He kept the people ignorant, so Xu Fan opened up the people's wisdom and carried out literacy campaigns in the army. Now the soldiers who have retired from the rebel army more or less know some common words.

"The Book of Shang Jun" wants to weaken the people, Xu Fan wants to strengthen the people, equalize the land, winter training reduces taxes, and makes the people rich. "The Book of Shang Jun" wants to insult the people, so Xu Fan wants to let the soldiers get honors. The more Xu Fan reads "Shang Jun Shu" The more I discovered that later generations completely went against the ruling methods of Shang Junshu.

After rewarding the soldiers, Xu Fan left Chen Ping to take charge of affairs in Yingchuan County, while all other senior rebel officials followed Xu Fan back to Chen County to prepare for the next military deployment of the rebel army.

Behind Xu Fan, Zhang Liang thought about what Xu Fan had done during this period. In the past, there were rumors that Xu Fan was from a noble family, and Zhang Liang originally thought so. After all, in this era, people like Xu Fan who were proficient in military affairs, politics, and even reform were all from noble families.

However, through contact with Xu Fan, Zhang Liang discovered that Xu Fan was more proficient in contacting the common people at the bottom, but did not know much about aristocratic etiquette. Zhang Liang discovered that the political system and military system of the rebel army were both established by Xu Fan. Instead, he was like the previous ones. Wu Qi was famous for his political reforms.

Zhang Liang thought for a while, then rode his horse to Xu Fan and said, "General, do you also want to become emperor like the First Emperor and even dominate the world?"

Xu Fan looked at Zhang Liang in surprise and said, "Why do you have such an idea?"

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said: "Liang heard that the generals of the rebel army wanted to make the general king several times, but he was rejected by the general. Zhang Er wanted you, general, to support the clans of the six countries and increase the enemies of Qin, but you also refused. Well, Liang guesses that you also want to build a country like the First Emperor."

Xu Fan did not retort but asked: "Zifang, do you think the world is divided into several parts like the Warring States Period, allowing endless wars, or do you think the whole world is unified into one country like the Qin State? Which of these two worlds is it?" good?"

Zhang Liang, who has sought sage through the ages, naturally understands that a country with a centralized system is better than a feudal country, but he still said: "General, don't forget that the source of the world's pain now is the Qin State, the First Emperor. The people of the world are suffering to the point that they are willing to make peace with Qin will perish together."

Xu Fandao: "Any kind of system has its shortcomings and advantages. The advantage of a centralized country is that the world does not have to fight for years like the Warring States Period, but the disadvantage is that the flaws of the upper class people will be amplified by this system and affect the entire country. The world.

The First Emperor conquered Baiyue in the south and the Huns in the north. This was a good thing that benefited the country and the people. He built a road to connect the world, which was also a great thing. However, he did it too hastily, and the First Emperor's heart became increasingly arrogant. He couldn't listen to advice. He wanted to complete something in a few years that should have taken decades, which brought pain to the people all over the world. He built palaces and imperial mausoleums to satisfy his own selfish desires and for his own sake. This man has occupied the labor force of millions of people. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a single man. "

Zhang Liang did not expect that Xu Fan would speak so highly of the First Emperor.

Then Xu Fan said to Zhang Liang: "Although this system of Qin cannot be said to be good, it is the system most suitable for this era. It is just that no one restricted the First Emperor from using this power. That is why it became what it is now."

"And when the Qin State was established and a centralized state appeared under this sky, there was no going back. The enfeoffment system was destined to be replaced by a centralized system."

Zhang Liang said with a hint of bitterness: "That's why the general does not allow South Korea to be restored."

Xu Fan smiled and said: "You forgot what I said, any system has its good side, I did not allow it. If the powerful people in South Korea have the ability to establish South Korea in Shangdang County, I will also support it. I just don't support it." You are establishing Korea on the territory of my rebel army, and even centralization does not mean that it cannot be enfeoffed. If the ovary can establish enough merit, you may not be unable to rebuild Korea."

Zhang Liang looked at Xu Fan in surprise. He couldn't see Xu Fan clearly at this time. Does he support centralization or enfeoffment?

Xu Fan saw his doubts and smiled and said: "Centralization of power also has its flaws, that is, sending exiled officials will not run the place with peace of mind. They will only steal money. When we attacked, there were very few Qin officials who resisted desperately. Most of them Some of them defected to our rebel army, because these cities all belong to the Qin State and belong to the First Emperor. Qin officials will not sacrifice their lives for the First Emperor's land. But if these lands belong to their own families, these Qin officials will not risk their lives even if they fight for the land. Even with the last drop of blood, I’m afraid they will have to defend their fiefdom.”

Xu Fan continued: "So the country I plan to build is a country that combines the advantages of these two systems. The rich lands in the Central Plains have a centralized system, while the land like Baiyue and the land north of the Great Wall are too far away from the Central Plains. If it is difficult to rule, it will be entrusted to meritorious officials."

Zhang Liang suddenly felt like he could see the sun through the clouds.

Yes, why not use both systems at the same time.
