Chapter 7 Applying What You Learned

Seeing that Monk Qi Song was embarrassed, Xu Ping smiled and said, "The master has a Taoist monk, so you don't have to go to your heart for these verbal disputes. The master came from thousands of miles away, and it will definitely be hard on the road. Come on, take the master to rest."

Qi Song proclaimed the Buddha's name and thanked Xu Ping. He followed the postman to the other courtyard to report that he had a Taoist monk. He would not take it seriously even if he was embarrassed when talking to Zhang Zai. It was just that he heard that the Buddhist family in the Western Regions, which had always been prosperous, had declined and was a little sad. In fact, Zhang Zai was just bullying Qi Song, a monk from the south, and he was not clear about the matter in the northwest, so he deliberately criticized his spirit.

He recited the Dharma name of Guanyin Bodhisattva in his mouth, and Qi Song left sadly. He carried a statue of the Bodhisattva everywhere he went, and recited the Dharma name of the Bodhisattva 100,000 times every day. This daily homework seemed easy, but in fact he had to recite it all day long when he had free time.

When Qi Song left, Xu Ping asked Zhang Zai to sit down, served tea, and asked him: "What books does the scholar read on weekdays?"

Zhang Zai bowed: "I returned to the court, and my grandfather, students studied hard all the books of the ancestors. Recently, the two books "Qian Shu" and "Pingtu Shu" by Li Jijiu, the Imperial College, were passed to Xifu. The students borrowed them from friends and were studying them."

"Oh, these two articles by Li Wei have been written in the past or two years. Have you read them? Let's listen."

Zhang Zai corrected his sitting posture and talked eroticly: "Li Jijiu's articles say that the world is not rich and the people are displaced because the ploughing people have no land and people have no land. If you want to be rich in the world, you should let those who plough have their own fields, and those who do not plough should not occupy more land. It is precisely because of this that Li Jijiu advocated that the world should re-enforce the system of well fields in Zhou Dynasty. Li Jijiu said that at this time, scholars said that there were many people who benefit from well fields, but only said that the well fields can be equal to the rich and poor, so that the people who ploughed themselves. This is only known one but not the second. In ancient times, the system of well fields not only wanted to plough the land, but also made people have no strength. One hand and one foot, and one foot, and one acre will not fail to crop every step and one acre. In this way, the land will be used up and the people will do their best. The fields will be rich, and the people will be rich, and the country will be strong."

Xu Ping couldn't help but smile. Li Wei's articles were not instructed by him, but were revised by Xu Ping. Of course, Xu Ping would not like these Confucian scholars, who were determined to restore the ancient system and re-demarcate the well fields. He just reorganized the ancient fields. Putting aside the specific content of the well fields, it is actually a collective agricultural labor system. As for how to operate it, of course, it is based on what Mencius said to go against the will of the will of the saint, and with my will of the will of the saint, it is not important to say what the saint said, but what I should do is important.

The propaganda of the well-field system is Xu Ping's further expansion of the field business for the creation of public opinion. The packaged well-field system is actually the current field business system, and it is also the system that Xu Ping needs to cultivate farmland in the northwest. The northwest ethnic groups are mixed and the land conditions are not good. It is difficult for a small peasant economy to persist under such difficult conditions. It must rely on the collective power. The well-field system is precisely an agricultural collective economy. As for whether it is the same as the system mentioned in the classics, of course it is not necessary.

After Zhang Zai finished speaking, Xu Ping said: "Li Wei's "Pingtu Shu" analyzes the system of well fields very profoundly, and it does see further than others. However, the hinterland of the Central Plains has a large number of people and rich areas, so it is inconvenient to suddenly move the system of well fields. The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and it is mixed with foreign Qiang, so it can be implemented. In fact, there is another advantage in implementing the system of well fields, which cannot be said of the talent for show?"

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Zhang Zai said, "Students only read Li Jijiu's book that I feel that the system of the Well Field is of great use to the present world. As for the subtleties, they have not thought deeply. Things have to be done before they can be realized. Students are planning to buy some free land in the countryside in the past few years and hire some customers to really use the system of the Well Field to plough it."

"It is rare for you to have this ambition. The well-field system also has another advantage, that is, it contains military orders in internal affairs. Usually, farming and commanding is just like in wartime. Picking up a hoe to farm, putting down a hoe to pick up a sword and gun to be the military of the court. In the northwest, the only way to open idle fields into wasteland can you turn them into wasteland. If there is a foreign Qiang invasion, they will defend the enemy outside the country."

In his previous life, Xu Ping did not think that the surrounding rural organizations were anything special, including townships, towns, villages, teams, and teams, but he thought it was a normal administrative structure. After truly experiencing civil and military in this world, he realized that the organizational form of townships, villages, teams, and groups was originally semi-military. If it was a preparation period, it was easy to organize militias in this organizational structure. Once a war broke out, militias could be drawn into regular troops. Even in extraordinary times, administrative organizations could quickly transform into military organizations, so that the whole people could be soldiered.

That kind of organization is a political structure prepared for the world war. Of course, the world war cannot be fought and it gradually began to abandon. However, it is still irreplaceable in remote or particularly unstable areas.

Xu Ping was not interested in restoring the well-field system, but Xu Ping wanted to use the military organizational system to military farming, to integrate troops into the people, and to open up the Hehuang area where the foreign and Han dynasties were mixed. Only in this way can we resist the surrounding nomadic peoples and even form advantages. The production mode of small farmers and small households still must rely on official military forces to survive, which is not in line with Xu Ping's requirements.

Zhang Zai lowered his head and thought, but then he realized that a well-field system actually contains a lot of knowledge, and if you continue to study it in depth, it makes endless reasons.

He raised his head and said to Xu Ping: "Jiangliu, is it necessary to use well-field military farming on this road this time?"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "I just had this idea. Scholar, do you want to come to the army to help? The ancients said that traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books. If you put what you have learned into practice, you will be better than reading many books."

Zhang Zai stood up and bowed, "Students dare not obey orders!"

Xu Ping and Liang Xuan looked at each other and said to Zhang Zai: "I was a little anxious on the way from the capital. It will take ten days to go to Qinzhou to hand over the handover between Cao Zhizhou. You can arrange some of these days at home. If you have any difficulties, just tell Liang Tong, he will help you. Five days later, go to Qinzhou with me and do something in the extreme. "

Zhang Zai hurriedly thanked him and promised to follow Xu Ping when the time comes. As a coach along the way, Xu Ping used many people under his jurisdiction and was also qualified to recruit low-level officials. He could arrange people whether in the coaching officer or the state yamen.

Zhang Zai is twenty years old this year. He is young and energetic. He has been very determined and has done something for the court and the world. He will naturally not let this opportunity go.

After sitting back, Xu Ping asked in detail about the books Zhang Zai usually read. Mei County is located on a major transportation road, especially those who leave Sichuan pass here. Shu has a developed culture and a prosperous culture with it. However, the imperial examinations are a bit shabby. There are few Jinshi and few famous teachers in Fengxiang Prefecture. Zhang Zai's mind is mostly devoted to academic research, but he doesn't care much about imperial examination articles.

Xu Ping instructed Tan Hu to take a collection of books engraved by the Imperial College and the Sansi over the years and give them to Zhang Zai. This time, Xu Ping brought a lot of books, including books from the sages, and books from the new policy in recent years. In addition, he even brought a large number of Buddhist scriptures and technical books to Fan Qiang, and used religion to win over them, and technical books were given to local governments.

Fengxiang Mansion is the large base and rear of Qinfeng Road prepared by Xuping. It is necessary to build an industrial and commercial center here, and also an academic and technical center. Many of the books brought by it must be kept here and donated to the county school. In fact, it is used as a library to cultivate qualified talents.

At this time, the center of the northwest was naturally the Yongxing Army, which is Jingzhao Prefecture, and Xi'an in later generations. Because of its special status and historical origins, general positions such as Jingzhao Prefecture are named after the name of the prefecture, while officials and ministers are generally called Yongxing Army, that is, the military title. Yongxing Army is the capital of Shaanxi Road, and its cultural economy is more developed than other places, but it is a bit far away for Qinfeng Road.

(Note: Li Wei's "Pingtu Book" in history was written during the Jingyou period, and Zhang Zai's thoughts on Jingtian were deeply influenced by it.)
