Chapter 3402 Grain (additional update)
What is life for?
If you ask the young Wen Pin this question, he would definitely stand up and respond loudly at that time, "Do you have made achievements! Become an immortal merit!"
But now if you ask Wenpin again, you will probably only be silent.
People grow up and become realistic, but they also lose something.
Especially when Wen Pin saw that it was not reinforcements, but just the angel Lu Su, Wen Pin realized the deep malice of this world towards him...
Lu Su is here, but the two conveniences are not able to fight.
Temporary.
Everyone knows it is temporary, but no one says it.
Under Lu Su's strong request, Wen Pin and others were able to breathe and received some supplies sent by Lu Su.
Seeing his soldiers staring at the meat food like starving ghosts, surrounding the pot and not willing to move, just waiting for the cooking to be shared, Wen Pin suddenly understood that people are just for living.
Everything is for living.
Survive first, then there are others...
In order to give the angels at least polite preferential treatment, a layer of cloth was surrounded by a curtain on a small hill, which was considered a good hospitality place.
Although there are no delicious food, there are still barbecue.
Lu Su is not particularly outstanding in appearance, but he is very talented, has a good eloquence, and has the reputation of being generous. Although this time the job is almost equivalent to being imposed on him, he still smiles, as if he can't see any grievances at all.
Lu Su seemed to like Pang Shanmin very much and was very close to him. He even praised him intentionally or unintentionally while talking and laughing.
Although Pang Shanmin felt a little embarrassed to see Lu Su admiring him so much, he felt quite comfortable inside. In addition, both of them were knowledgeable and discussed some scriptures and poetry, which was considered a matter of being in love, so he talked too much.
The atmosphere is pretty good for the time being.
"Today's time is so good. If you use swords and guns and see blood, it would be a big shame!" Lu Su said with a smile, "Why would you rather stop the battle today for the sake of the emperor? I am not talented, so I borrow the treasure land and ask General Wen to come down to the fort and drink a few drinks together! If you have any grudges, I will let go of it today, and it will not be too late to calculate tomorrow! I wonder what the people in Shanshen say?"
Seeing Lu Su carrying the emperor out, Pang Shanmin changed his expression slightly, and then glanced at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong sat down at the bottom, just twisting his whiskers on his own, without commenting on it.
Pang Shanmin pondered for a moment, then slowly straightened his waist, looked at Lu Su, and said in a deep voice: "But!"
Lu Su's heart was thrilled. He knew that the good atmosphere he had created before would be discounted, but he had to do it.
Because Lu Su cannot guarantee that he can successfully mediate. If he delays for a while in Guanzhong and then fights in Hedong, then Pang Tong will let it go?
So Lu Su must seize any opportunity, at least it shows that he has made efforts...
For example, this Wuguan Dao.
After a day of truce, the two sides, oh, the tripartite talks, no matter what they say, it can prove that Lu Su has made efforts and is not a waste of money and does not work.
Moreover, Lu Suka's point was just right. After all, both sides had not really hit the human head out of the dog's brain, so it would be a day for both sides, especially for Pang Shanmin and Huang Zhong. However, Lu Su did not expect that Pang Shanmin, who seemed a little shy when talking about poetry and scriptures, changed so much after hearing the military suggestion of a day of truce!
It's like...
A knife was pulled out of the scabbard!
Although Lu Su felt that it was not good, he could not repent immediately after saying it.
Wen Pin was invited to the fort, and then walked through the cavalry formation with seven or eight guards to the curtain of the temporary gathering.
Huang Zhong looked at Wen Pin and saw that although he looked tired, he was not afraid of shrinking. He nodded and said hello, without deliberately making any moves to make things difficult for Wen Pin.
Wenpin stepped forward and met in turn.
Wenpin did not expect that there would be such a situation before the war, so even if he came, he didn't know what to say. Of course, even if Wenpin was asked to prepare, he didn't know what to say. He was just a general. He had read some books, but he asked him to tell some allusions and poems in a foggy way, but he couldn't say them.
So after Wen Pin sat down, he was silent.
Fortunately, Lu Su is still there.
As a regular runner...
Well, I don’t run often, but Lu Su still has a lot of experience in the east. He knew that the scene could not be cooled down, so he laughed and said some warm scene words, which at least supported them. But what Lu Su never expected was that some of the scene words he had always used smoothly in Shandong had problems here.
Just like the scenes of the Sakura Empire are always inseparable from the weather, within the Han Dynasty, the topics in recent years are also inseparable from the Yellow Turbans.
Yes, in the current Han Dynasty, it was called the Yellow Turban Rebellion. However, in later generations, it was also called the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was a peasant war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the largest religious forms of civil unrest in Chinese history. The desperate bankrupt peasants launched fierce attacks on bureaucratic landlords and had a huge impact on the rule of the Eastern Han court. Although Zhang Jiao failed in the end, he prompted the Han Dynasty to form a separatist situation of princes.
Lu Su is a landlord.
Pang Shanmin is also a landlord.
But now when talking about the Yellow Turban, the two of them have completely different attitudes.
Lu Su has always been very disgusted with the Yellow Turban rising up, resisting the court, burning, killing and looting.
If it weren't for the Yellow Turban Thief, he would have been in Linhuai now. He would be his little landlord, so he would have to spend all his money to join here and where to go in exile?
Although there will be more opportunities in troubled times, it will be painful in troubled times!
Just like all kinds of drifts in later generations, the chances are duckweed on the water. What succeeds is the deviation of survivors, and what fails is the happiness index enhancer of landlords and homeowners. You can't even take a penny home if you earn that land.
Lu Su believed that the unorganized Yellow Turban thieves were mob rebelled, causing harm to the country and causing trouble for life. Lu Su said it very directly. He believed that suppressing the rebellion was correct and indispensable, but he retained a certain attitude towards whether he would kill other ordinary Yellow Turban thieves after capturing and killing the main evil.
Lu Su thought it was too much to kill the surrendered enemy. Perhaps the Huangfu family killed too many people and damaged their fortunes, which caused subsequent disasters and implicated their family...
Lu Su felt that when dealing with the Yellow Turban, they should win and let them surrender. If they can be used for themselves, they should be used for themselves. If they cannot be used, they should be comforted on the spot, so that they can live a stable life, and the world will naturally be stable.
But Lu Su did not expect that Pang Shanmin had different opinions on this.
When Pang Shanmin was talking about Lu Su, he frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. When Lu Su almost finished speaking, Pang Shanmin slowly said something that surprised Lu Su and puzzled him, but he also felt that something seemed to make sense, and he needed to understand and think deeply...
"Why do the people rebelled?" Pang Shanmin asked, and before Lu Su could answer, he said, "It's impossible to live. The people in the world are all seeking to live, and they cannot live or die, so why not rebel?!"
Wen Pin, who has been acting as the background wall, couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart!
He looked at Pang Shanmin.
This was the first time Wenpin had been to see Pang Shanmin seriously after he arrived here.
Pang Shanmin is not handsome or elegant, but at this moment, Pang Shanmin's expression seems to be full of power, solemn and solemn.
"Why can the Han people live? Mushrooms cannot be silk, fishing cannot be stewed, hunting cannot be fur, farmers do not make a day, they cannot be eaten! How can the Han people live! They work hard all year round, they cannot be clothes, food cannot be eaten, the houses cannot be repaired, and rags cannot be repaired! How can the Han people live?! A family of five people, farming, and a hundred acres of land is excellent, but half of the tax is paid, and they are directly charged. The old and young people in the family are howling, and the outdoor worms are howling!"
Wen Pin sighed and lowered his head slightly.
He knew that Pang Shanmin was right.
A farmer family of five in the Great Man, who eats food at least 100 stones every year, and also has a lot of wheat bran and wild vegetables. In addition, the cost of exchange for salt, production tools, daily necessities, etc., is peeled off a layer of rice to sell, and then another layer of skin to buy things…
If a family's income does not meet the minimum living standards they need, they will inevitably fall into a state of hunger and cold, let alone maintain the farming for the coming year.
Moreover, Pang Shanmin is talking about a hundred acres of home, which is already a good family. Now, in the Han Dynasty, many farmers' land actually has less than 100 acres, usually only a few dozen acres or even a few acres, and only earn more than one hundred stones a year or less. After deducting various taxes, there is nothing left and no one can survive at all.
"Why did the Han people die? Birth, old age, sickness and death are common. However, if you don't spend your family, you won't be filial to your children, and you won't be a son without bankruptcy! Why did the Han people die? The loanee wears gorgeous clothes and sits high on the counter. The filial son wears white hemp and kneels down in the hall! Why did the Han people die?! Gaozu's three rules for establishing a country, and all the villagers understand it. What is the rules now? Some people even go into forests and mountains to die without compensation and punish them severely! If they cannot live, they cannot die, so why don't they rebel?!"
Lu Su was dumbfounded.
Actually, Lu Su doesn’t know about these questions?
He also knew that it was just that the mainstream ideas in Shandong, or most people, when talking about the Yellow Turban, always held a critical and opposing attitude. At the same time, treating ordinary people often had a state of nostrils facing the sky and eyes facing down.
Because people in Shandong feel that these untouchables do not understand literature and theory, do not know the principles, and cannot communicate, which is a completely different type from them...
But they forgot that if Lao Tzu, Confucius, Xunzi, Mo Zi and others had no knowledge and writing spread, preaching and teaching, and answering doubts, most of them were still lackeys under the Duke and Marquis, and only understood the skills taught by family business. After they acquired knowledge, they took this knowledge for themselves and set up various obstacles, and then laughed at these people who could not obtain knowledge.
Pang Shanmin sighed: "I heard that a folk song in my early years said, "The common people's hair is like leeks, cut back to life; their heads are like chickens, and they are cut back to chirping. The officials do not have to be afraid, they will always be light. But they want to calm down!" I heard it in the past, but I just sighed, but I didn't know that the people were suffering! I also hated the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Now I know it, and I should know why! The Yellow Turban Rebellion is dead, but I will die if I don't, and I will die! In this way, it is better to kill corrupt officials, eliminate bullies and evil gentry, burn carved beams and painted roads, destroy fields and roads, divide money and jewelry, and eat fish and meat... Even if I know that I am about to die, how can I be happy! The people have no future, and the world will rebel! Then, jade and stones are burned, so how can I get the spring and white snow? Only blood and fire are spreading on the ground, and corpses are everywhere in the valleys and rivers!"
Lu Su swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was speechless for a while.
Lu Su has been to Jiangdong and has been staying for too long...
People can transform the environment, and the environment will also affect people. Things are both sides of the same body. Lu Su is in Jiangdong. Even though he is quite disdainful of Zhang Zhao and others who only care about the people in front of him, Lu Su himself has gradually been affected. His view of the problem is limited to Jiangdong, not the entire world, and he cannot see the direction of the future.
For Pang Shanmin, after a baptism in Guanzhong, especially after a heart-to-heart talk with Pang Tong, it was a real transformation. He had many feelings and accumulated in his heart. When Lu Su happened to hit the gun...
The words Pang Shanmin said were not entirely refuting Lu Su, but also mocking Pang Shanmin himself.
In the early years, Pang Shanmin only stared at the Pang family, around Wancheng, and at his own acre of three-point land.
But so what?
Just keep it safe by staring at it?
Pang Shanmin didn't believe that Pang Tong would give up the Pang family business, and did not believe that Pang Tong would not want Wancheng. That was because Pang Shanmin at that time was only so big that he couldn't see it or believe it. As a result, when Pang Shanmin came to Guanzhong, he realized that the clown had always been himself.
Pang Shanmin is talking about the common people and those rebels who cannot see the future, so they are obsessed with the present, and aren’t they ridiculing himself before?
Because I can't see the future, I only have today.
Because I can't see the distance, I only care about the front of me.
After understanding the ideas, Pang Shanmin understood why Wancheng was so easy to be broken and why it could not be defended. In Tongguan Wuguan and other places in Guanzhong, it was like a wall of iron. Even if the enemy troops came ten or even hundreds of times, they could not be broken.
It’s not how powerful the pass is, but how firm the human heart is.
Before, as the prefect of Wancheng, Pang Shanmin stared at his family and the three-foot-foot land in front of his door. So in Wancheng, would he want other merchants and the people who work selflessly and sacrifice for the Pang family business?
Pang Shanmin felt that he was so ridiculous before, so he naturally expressed his hatred now.
But in Lu Su's eyes, it seemed like Pang Shanmin hating him, dumbfounded and never dared to say another word.
At that moment, Lu Su even thought that Pang Shanmin was possessed by Zhang Jiao or some other rebel leader. Maybe the next moment Pang Shanmin would leave the seat and shout, "Is there any kind of king, prince, general, and minister?"
So Lu Su didn't dare to continue to argue, for fear of irritating Pang Shanmin, so he could only be disappointed and smiled embarrassedly without politely.
However, Lu Su did not expect that the person who was shocked the most was not Lu Su himself, but Wen Pin!
In the Han Dynasty, "Great Righteousness" was very important.
This level of importance may be kept in your mouth, and some may be kept in your heart.
Wenpin is undoubtedly the latter.
In history, Liu Cong surrendered, but Wen Pin did not follow him to pay tribute to Cao Cao, so later Cao Cao even asked Wen Pin, "Why did you come?"
Compared with those who were busy with Jing Xiang who fell under Cao Cao's command, expressing his strong and loyalty, the gentry's children who were not good at expressing themselves and even had a bit of "pedantic" literary talent, which was like an alien.
It's like "grain" and "grain".
When everyone thinks that rice is good, they forget that in fact, the amount of rice should be called "grain". Otherwise, the world only focuses on which grains of good rice is ignored, but most people are actually eating more and worse wheat bran and wild vegetables.
Wenpin put down his wine glass and lowered his head to meditate and remained silent.
Among the Han Dynasty, not no one noticed that there was a problem with the Han system or the political model, but many times, even if they knew there was a problem, they didn’t know how to solve the problem. So they could only drag and waste, and then watch the entire country slide into the abyss bit by bit.
Wen Pin pretended to be loyal and brave in his heart. He had never said it. He had a great man in his heart, and he never lingered it on his mouth.
In comparison, is Lu Su's "loyalty" to the Han Dynasty...
In fact, to a certain extent, the more loyal Lu Su was to Sun Quan, the more unfaithful he was to the Han Dynasty.
However, under the long-standing dual monarchy of the Han Dynasty, it was in line with the gentry's cognition and was praised as a virtue...
So, Lu Su was so righteous and unacceptable. He smiled forcibly and wanted to save the scene, but it seemed very strange. While he was thinking about how to save it, he heard Wen Pin on the side say: "I would like to follow the angels to Guanzhong... Oh, just have a few personal guards, and the rest of the soldiers... and General Huang, the envoy of Pang, will be the decision."
『Ah?』 Lu Su was stunned, 『This...』
What kind of god is this?
"Envoy Pang..." Wen Pin looked up at Pang Shanmin, "These words were...oh, I'm sorry for being rude. But after I arrived in Chang'an, I had this feeling and made such a sigh?"
Pang Shanmin did not shy away and nodded to say yes.
Wen Pin nodded, and was silent for a long time before bowing to Lu Su and said, "Wen is not talented and has a little martial arts. I wish to protect the angel into Guanzhong. I wonder if the angel is willing to accept it?"
Lu Su was stunned and immediately said, "I am willing, but I don't know... Is Pang Jun willing to release General Wen?"
Pang Shanmin looked at Wen Pin and said, "General Wen, why do you insist on going to Guanzhong?"
"Because before the Han Dynasty, no one had ever said that the people in the Han Dynasty could not live or die!" Wen Pin said in a deep voice, "Envoy Pang never said before he went to Chang'an! Qinglong Temple in Chang'an... Wen has been fascinated for a long time. Today, since the angel is here, isn't it a chance for Wen?"
