Chapter 2587: Man is powerful and defeats the sky
Chang'an.
Fei Qian was a little surprised when he received news that Cao Cao's side was investigating the government on a large scale and searching for spies.
Pigeon Express, the mission must be achieved.
Unfortunately, those eyeliners couldn't pack them all at once and were delivered back to Chang'an by express...
In history, Cao Cao seemed to have never done such a thing.
I don’t know whether such a change should be considered a good thing or a bad thing.
But no matter what, the operation of Cao Cao's investigation of spies and spies did bring some danger to Fei Qian's spies sent to Cao Cao.
"The order is not exposed, and it is hidden for a while. Don't act rashly," Fei Qian ordered Pang Tong, "I guess the Prime Minister's move is just a gust of wind, and it will not last long... In addition, let Changshan Taiyuan, Tongguan Hangu, and Wuguan Wancheng be prepared to draw some elite soldiers. If necessary, you can send small troops to support him. Well, just use the name of patrol and hunting..."
Pang Tong nodded and wrote down.
Now there is so much Fei Qian can do for these guys.
"By the way, Derun," Fei was silent for a while, hesitated for a little, but turned to Kan Ze and said, "If someone is really arrested, most of them will be arrested and transferred to Xu County and sent to the prison for strict interrogation... If he is not strict and involves too much, so that others are in danger... On the one hand, he must notify the relevant person in time, and on the other hand...
Kan Ze understood and replied: "I should inform the Action Department and make people ready."
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
Such an order may kill some people, but it will also protect some people's survival.
Fei Qian has to consider issues similar to this almost every day, and sometimes he has to give up some, including some of his own cognition and emotions.
Send troops directly to Cao Cao's rule to respond?
It's like saving the soldier?
Even Migou knew that the thing was a movie. Later generations of the United States had millions of Mizhes died, and they didn't move their eyebrows. They were still counting on the real display in the movie?
Of course, I will do it when saving people.
But there is also a degree.
It is like the humanitarian spirit that existed in ancient China.
"When father and son are in the army, the father returns; when brothers are in the army, the brothers return; when only sons have no brothers, they return to raise." The war still has to be fought, not that for the so-called "humanitarianism", all the members go home. This is what Wei Wuji said, recorded in the record of the Grand Historian, and later it was often used by Chinese generals of other eras.
China has always had this spirit, but it is not as loud as the United States. In fact, it is not stronger than the United States knows that the three brothers have been in service and are still pretending to be sent to the battlefield? The so-called real event adaptation is that the three brothers all go to the battlefield. As for the later ones, it is adapted.
So I have to admire that in some aspects, the United States has long been fighting against China on the spiritual battlefield in later generations. After China was beaten to the point of being injured, some people even developed Stockholm syndrome...
Fei Qian believes that this is because of the lack of education.
In addition, some people generalize intentionally or unintentionally, grasp a little bit of the problem and magnify it infinitely, and then talk about some facts rather than words to confuse the facts...
Just like saving these people, I will do it, but there will always be people saying why not send planes? After sending the planes, some people say that my husband, my father, who is a certain position, I want to give priority, why should civilians be ahead of me...
Officials are always a very important political part.
Human civilization is always progressing in the continuous development, and China is naturally no exception. In this process, excellent talents are an indispensable part of the development process, so a good system for cultivating and selecting talents is particularly important.
Training involves the education system.
Selection is naturally related to the bureaucratic system.
The education system will affect the bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy also affects the education system. Therefore, in many cases, later generations, they often seem to be a scholar, a beast, or a question of teacher ethics, or a book, but in fact, the matter involved is not just an education system.
What Fei Qian wants to do now is to build a system.
The bureaucratic system also includes the education system.
China has a long history and culture. In order to ensure that outstanding talents can always contribute to the country's construction, all dynasties have been constantly exploring and improving the talent selection system.
From the early hereditary system, the system of upbringing scholars to the Han Dynasty’s recommendation system, to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and later the imperial examination system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all of them are the crystallization of wisdom of the predecessors of China.
Just like when you eat the last steamed bun and scold the previous steamed buns, without the temptation and research of the ancestors from generation to generation, who can know what model should be used to select talents?
Fei Qian wanted to implement the imperial examination system earlier. Because the imperial examination system was proven to be effective and had a huge influence in China, it even continued to use the talent selection system in later generations.
It is easy to chant slogans, but it is difficult to do specific things.
To a certain extent, the imperial examination is to enlighten the people to a certain extent.
Knowledge was originally monopolized, but has always been tried to monopolize.
King Wen of Zhou killed the witch and let the knowledge "enlighten the people" from the witch and enter the hands of the nobles.
Then the nobles of the Spring and Autumn Period tried to monopolize knowledge, and then Qin Shihuang came to the stage and beat the old nobles of the six countries to their own lives, thus causing knowledge to move from nobles to more aristocrats...
Fei Qian believes that if nothing unexpected happens, the expansion of knowledge, that is, "enlightenment of people's wisdom", is such a repetitive development, evolution and spread. It is not only constantly attempted by the existing masters to monopolize and constantly greedily absorb excess benefits, but also needs it by a wider range. At a certain irreconcilable moment, huge contradictions and conflicts broke out. The original monopoly class was killed, overturned, hung on the street light, and then expanded to a wider surface, and then gradually grew new ones in the ruins, more than the previous group, and new monopoly classes emerged.
This is Fei Qian's confirmation of the "enlightenment of the people" process.
Moreover, this process is irreversible. That is, it is similar to entropy increase.
Because humans have curiosity.
So in later generations, there will be monopoly knowledge and mastering the media. They simply use spam information, boring videos, and big data push to take up the time when humans should have acquired knowledge through curiosity to delay this "entropy-increasing process".
But there are still people who will wake up. Not everyone is willing to lie flat, even if they verbally say they want to lie flat, or even spread flat...
Fei Qian asked Kan Ze to do business, and then asked Pang Tong to convene some core figures for a meeting.
At least, among the people surrounding Fei Qian at the moment, no one lies flat.
『After spring plowing, the imperial examination must be implemented in each county.』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『Only by county and county establishment of the imperial examination system, this move can last for a long time.』
Fei Qian made a general request first, and then explained: "The reason why the Former Qin Dynasty won the six countries was that military titles were the priority. The people of Qin all competed for the first place, but only the princes competed for the first place in the six countries."
Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. The system of the Qin Dynasty at that time was the real OnLine version of the people who fight monsters and upgrade.
From pushing small monsters, to elite monsters, to knocking down six big bosses, Qin Shihuang once wanted to find the current target of the Huns, but unfortunately he failed to successfully transfer the battlefield...
At different stages of history, the individuals of the rulers are different, and the concept of "people" or its scope of understanding is always shaking and changing.
Just like in later generations, so-called growing under the red flag, officials would naturally blurt out words such as "unpreparable people" and "unrelenting people".
When you find a cockroach at home, it often means that there are more than a bunch of them. Killing a cockroach is not difficult, but if you want to remove the cockroach from home, the difficulty will rise sharply.
What Fei Qian can do is to talk more thoroughly with these top think tanks of the great men at the beginning, then make the protective net more firmly, and then leave some methods that can be reinforced, prevented, and repaired. As for what it will be in the end in thousands of years, Fei Qian is not clear.
"During the Former Qin Dynasty, Guanzhong, Sichuan and Shu were used to raise troops. The people were not allowed to eat grain and wine in the six countries, and the king was not allowed to wear new clothes..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Now, Hangu is used to occupy Shandong. Don't talk about you, even the people can also drink wine and wear clothes in the New Year. Why are you?"
Xun You said: "It is because of the difference in yield per mu. Guanzi said, "A farming matter will last for a hundred mu, and the harvest of a hundred mu is only twenty minutes." The land of Qi and Lu is more prosperous than that of Qin. Besides, this is true, why didn't the Zheng State Canal in the Former Qin in the fashion of the former Qin?"
Pang Tong, on the other side, also said: "Qin opened the Zheng State canal and irrigated more than 40,000 hectares of turmeric land, and collected all one bell acres. It was considered a grand event and added with ink. However, there are many places in Guanzhong, including tens of thousands of hectares, including Longyou, Hedong, Sichuan, Shu and Han. This is a difference between the upper and lower levels."
Fei Qian nodded slowly.
The others basically agreed with this statement.
The yield of ancient Chinese acres is unlikely to know because there is no specific literature, but it is definitely not much. Firstly, the grain cultivation system has not been established, and secondly, the production tools are still very low.
There were only a rough description in ancient times. For example, in Mencius, there is a record in: "One man with a hundred acres, a hundred acres of manure, nine farmers above eat, eight people last time, seven people at the same time, six people at the same time, and five people at the same time."
There are almost the same records in the Book of Rites, indicating that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the yield standard was probably widely recognized. According to medium-sized land, the yield was about 80 to 11 kilograms.
Of course, this is tare.
If the ancient Chinese harvest was removed from shells, it would have to lose 20%-30% of the weight.
The standard recorded by Mencius was in Qilu, where the terrain was relatively flat and convenient to irrigate. At that time, the Qin State was the Western Rong, mostly nomadic, without Zheng State canals, and then bronze ware was mainly used as weapons. Most farmers could only use wooden sticks and shovels, etc.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China's agriculture underwent revolutionary changes, mainly reflected in the comprehensive development of iron ox plowing and irrigation agriculture. During this period, various countries built many major irrigation projects, such as the Hangou dug in Wu State, the Honggou dug by King Hui of Wei State, the twelve Zhangshui canals under the leadership of Ximen Bao in Wei State, the Dujiangyan in Shu County, the Zhengguo canals in Guanzhong in Qin State, the Ling Canals in Lingnan in Qin State, the Shaobi project in Chu State, etc. The development of iron ox plowing and irrigation agriculture greatly improved agricultural productivity, which was directly reflected in the increase of average grain output.
By the early Han Dynasty, it was basically a mu, one stone, or even one and a half stone.
Fei Qian asked: "Since this is the case, how can the land increase its production?"
"Haha, this is the four things that can be increased by planting, fertilizing, irrigating, and ploughing. "Zaozhi is of course very familiar with this and said it a little bit.
Fei Qian nodded again and asked: "So, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, did all countries develop water conservancy and develop farming and sericulture for the people? For the sake of war? For four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, what is the wise man who value water conservancy and farming and sericulture? Or why should you be less than water conservancy?"
Everyone started to think.
Is the answer to this question not only not, but it is difficult to answer.
After all, the slogans before were all shocking.
"Therefore, the country should not forget to fight. Fighting in heaven and earth, fighting inside and outside is all like this." Fei Qian said slowly, "Only by knowing that there is a war, only by focusing on agriculture, sericulture, water conservancy, and understanding its interests can we work together to move forward."
"The Zhoutian Jingtian was almost in the private parts of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The former Qin Dynasty ruled that it could defeat the army of the six countries, but was defeated by the people of the six countries. Therefore, those who win the army were easy, and those who disobey the people were disobedient. " Fei Qian looked at the crowd, "Therefore, why did the times change and what was moving with the times? This is the principle. In ancient times, the people who slashed and planted slashed and fire, and now the ox plowed iron plows, how can they be the same? In ancient times, the people had no spare land, and officials should do nothing to avoid chaos. Now the people can get more, get enough food and clothing, and think about honor and disgrace. This is the general trend and unstoppable. In ancient times, when slashing and plowing, they could not wear clothes, and food and food. Just like the people below today, no one wants to stop?"
"The imperial examination is also what the people want. If they go against it, they will be in danger. If they follow it, they will be in danger." Fei Qian concluded, "Since the Han Dynasty, if those who farmed had their own land, the country would be prosperous and the people would be peaceful, the four seas would be peaceful, the governance of Wen and Jing, and the revival of Guangwu would be like this. Now Guanzhong is better than Shandong, but the people of Guanzhong have the ability to have three heads and six arms, just because the people of Guanzhong compete for the first place, and in Shandong, only the sons of noble families compete for the first place..."
It is difficult for Fei Qian to popularize a clear theory of productivity and production relations to these people in the Han Dynasty. After all, Fei Qian took a long time to understand the related issues of productivity and production relations, etc. when he was educated. So how could he expect that those who have no relevant concepts can suddenly realize the following and understand the similarities when speaking two or three words?
Therefore, Fei Qian can only extend to the imperial examination system from the most basic, that is, what these people can directly observe, and the imperial examination system was indeed gradually born due to the development of productivity...
The imperial examination is a political claim of a large number of poor children.
The poor family is not really poor, but a small landlord.
The imperial examination system in history was born in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the emergence of a system must have a certain conditional basis. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the landlords' economy developed rapidly. From war to stability, the society was stable, the economy was prosperous, and the country was prosperous. In such an environment, the basic life of the small landlords was satisfied and they began to yearn for politics.
In order to ensure that your interests are not arbitrarily deprived of the upper political group, their political representation will inevitably arise and require political interests to be tilted...
This is often seen even in later generations.
Well, here is the United States.
The meaning expressed by Fei Qian is not complicated, that is, the times are developing, and no one wants to go back to ancient times to live a hard life.
The same goes for officials.
Who still thinks that he is a "civilian" after becoming an official and is willing to return to be a "civilian"? Except for those great men and a few officials with high faith values, I believe that most officials are unwilling to be beaten to death.
Fei Qian is no exception.
There are also Pang Tong, Xun You, Sima Yi, etc., all of them are.
Sometimes you can live a life further and die if you take a step back.
Xiong Da has already explained everything with his body.
Chinese people are good at summarizing.
The great man had only three legs, Qingliu, foreign relatives, eunuchs, and then one of the legs failed, and the great man became crooked and fell down.
The rulers of the Sui and Tang dynasties saw the lessons of the past and felt that they had to do more feet to be stable. So, a large number of small landlords began to yearn for political rights and began to pursue a more meticulous and stable life. With the joint efforts of the upper and lower levels, the imperial examination system came into being.
Those original monopolists were hung on the street lights.
Because the emergence of the imperial examination system broke the previous portal view, some people can still gain political status even if they are from poor backgrounds, and they are no longer a situation where aristocratic children can cover up the sky.
The interview system allows poor children to see the future and have hope in their hearts, and they will not go to despair. At the same time, officials who pass the exam also have certain talents. Even if they are from a low background, they can turn over with their own efforts. The unfair phenomenon is relatively reduced, and the resentment accumulated by the people will also be reduced, thus bringing certain benefits to the overall stability of society.
In the eyes of rulers, if the people do not riot and do not threaten their dominance, they must come up with a way that can convince everyone. This is the case with the imperial examination system.
Fei Qian wanted to stop the crisis of the Wei and Jin Dynasties from happening again on the land of China, not to kill Sima Yi, but to establish a novel way of talent election, that is, the imperial examination.
The guiding power of the imperial examination is undoubtedly huge, so Confucianism also continues to flourish through the imperial examination.
What Fei Qian needs to do now is to not only unify his thoughts and let these people spread this idea on their behalf before the imperial examination begins, but also need to mix in the examination methods of agriculture, industry, and related industries at the beginning of the imperial examination, and formulate relevant systems to prevent the imperial examination from jumping around and going astray.
『In March, Gongda was responsible for the Youfufeng, Zijing was responsible for the imperial examinations in Longxi and Longyou County," Fei Qian assigned tasks, "Zhongda, Hedong Shangjun, and Ziyu went to Hanzhong. As for Shangdang Taiyuan, Liang Dao was still in charge, and Sichuan and Shu were arranged by Yuanzhi...』
