Chapter 875 Argument
Shao Xun looked calm and asked: "What is a man-made disaster?"
"I heard that the best person to serve the world is to love others." Wang Chong sneered and said: "Since the fourth year of Shengui, there have been frequent floods and locust plagues. Li Yuan is in poverty and cannot survive on his own. On this occasion, it should be
Rest. However, your Majesty has mobilized all three armies, worked hard on expeditions, chased sand in vain, and wasted money and food. Can this disaster be worse than that of a bird?"
"The counties in Qingzhou were already suffering from disasters. The old grains had been exhausted, the new grains had not yet arrived, and the people had not enough to eat. How could there be enough to sow the seeds? However, the ruthless officials were ruthless and exploited them. If they did not comply, they would be tortured. This resulted in
The people fled, and the crops and mulberry trees were in ruins. The disadvantages were embarrassing and have not been eliminated to this day. Can this disaster be worse than that of birds?"
"It has been twenty years since the king raised his army, and the world has been struggling for twenty years. There have been floods for three years, and a great epidemic has occurred one year. This is why God warned us, but what is the use of relief measures? If we don't change our ways and rest with the people, the landslide will happen.
The ground is not far away from breaking up. Once this disaster comes, it will be too late to regret it."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and stood up with his hands behind his back.
When Bian Tao heard this from below, he almost applauded him.
Well said, wonderfully said! Shao thief claims to be a lover, but he has waged wars for many years and injured countless people. Is this a lover? Keep talking, speak hard, see if Shao thief can still keep it on his face.
Wang Yan's face was gloomy. He didn't care whether he loved others or not. All he cared about was the interests of his family.
He turned his head slightly.
One person understood the idea, stood up and said: "You talk about man-made disasters, but you don't know how to hear Gou Xi, Cao Yi's disaster?"
Cao Yi in the audience: "..."
"Who are you?" Wang Chong glanced at him and asked.
"Langya Yanzhong." The visitor bowed and replied.
Wang Chong looked Yan Zhong up and down and sneered, "Could he be from the 'Yan Concubine' clan?"
Yan Zhong suddenly became red and warm, clenched his fists and became furious.
This guy really has a bad mouth! Today you were torn into pieces by five horses and there was no one to cry out for you.
The so-called "Yan concubine" is a shame for the Langya Yan family.
In the past, when Wang Hun of Taiyuan was the governor of Xuzhou and wanted to marry his second wife, he chose a daughter of the Yan family from the local Langya Kingdom.
During the salute, Wang Hun was about to pay his respects, and the guests present all said, "The princes, generals, and citizens of the bride's state may have no reason to pay their respects."
Wang Hun actually stopped the wedding and did not let the wedding be completed. Later, Wang Hun's son refused to bow to his father because he did not respond to the ceremony and was not a couple, so he was called "Yan Concubine".
The Yan family was just a low-class noble family. Although they were deeply ashamed of it, they did not dare to leave because of the noble family status of the Wang family in Taiyuan.
At this moment, the Yan family's status has been improved, and the Yan Han family (who once joined the army for Sima Yue) who crossed south to Jianye is developing well, but the shame of the year is still there and has never been forgotten.
It can be seen that the Wang family in Taiyuan was defeated by Shao Xun, and the Yan family celebrated.
When Yan Zhong was angry, he couldn't care about anything else, and said: "In the past, Gou Xi was doing things in Qingzhou, killing people at every turn, and was very cruel. Why didn't the Wang family get rid of the harm for the people?"
"Cao Yi occupied Guanggu and accumulated millions of millets. Why did the Wang family of Chengyang sit back and watch? How could this disaster be solved?"
Cao Yi twisted his body uneasily.
Two old maids! Fortunately, you are still scholars. Why are you quarreling like a shrew and constantly throwing dirty water? Can you be more graceful? Can you not accidentally hurt others? Several people have already looked at me, do you know?
Wang Yan was also a little helpless.
Yan Zhongzhong was loyal enough, but he couldn't keep his temper. He was provoked to anger all of a sudden, so much so that he was in chaos and scolded the streets. It was really unbearable.
"Gou Xi, even though Cao Yi's government in Qingzhou was bad in many ways, he did not disturb the people." Wang Chong avoided answering Yan Zhong's question and just said.
Yan Zhong was very happy.
The word "people" is truly wonderful.
In the past, the Yan family was just a small noble family at the bottom, so the Yan family's daughters were called "people of the state". What was the "people" in Wang Chong's mouth?
Yan Zhong was just amused and did not really laugh, but the warriors opposite him all laughed.
"Gou Xi chose thousands of beauties and enjoyed them day and night. Isn't this disturbing the people?" Chen Yougen couldn't help it and sneered.
"Gou Xi also killed people for no reason. I remember that some nobles were also killed, right?"
"Cao Yi, has Gou Xi's beauty fallen into your hands?"
"It's so shameless for you to eat alone."
Cao Yi: "..."
He was really hurt.
If I had known this, I had made up my mind back then to massacre the Chengyang Wang family at all costs, so as not to be criticized now.
Shao Xun glanced at Wu Ren and his laughter gradually stopped.
"It's good not to disturb the people." While everyone was laughing, Yan Zhong calmed down and said, "But I don't know what the king meant by not disturbing the people?"
"Recuperate and rejuvenate, and rule by doing nothing." Wang Chong said matter-of-factly: "Let the scholars of the world live in good land and large houses, and have boats and carriages to travel around, which is enough to rest from the four bodies of work. If you raise your relatives, you will have a delicious meal, and your wife and children will not suffer.
It’s hard work.”
"When I study in the villa in autumn and summer, there are clear springs, lush forests, bamboos, trees, pines and cypresses, fish ponds, and earthen caves that amuse the eyes and the heart."
“In winter and spring, we gather together with our friends to view the wilderness, feeling like a wanderer, and return home enjoying ourselves.”
"As officials in counties and counties, I often visit famous people, consult on political affairs, and appoint them as subordinates to benefit all people." As soon as this statement came out, many scholars had a change of view towards Wang Chong and felt that he was not the kind of person who wanted to please others by grandstanding.
The vision he proposed has existed since ancient times and has always been the ideal life of scholars.
If you do this, you don’t have to be an official anymore. Aren’t you tired? Isn’t it good to indulge in pleasure?
Of course, there will always be someone in the family who will be burdened with becoming an official, and it will be good if others can help.
Furthermore, even if you become an official, you don’t have to do anything.
These days, there are not a few officials who ignore political affairs all day long. They are tired, vulgar, bitter, and boring. It is better to take powder and drink.
The military attachés sitting behind Chen Yougen and others were filled with anger.
Who are they? Trackers with injuries, farmers who work hard all day long, soldiers who have been slaves for generations, and refugees who are struggling to survive.
We are all human beings, so why can scholars be so dissolute and enjoy life wantonly? But they are struggling on the edge of life and death?
In the past, I had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow when I saw these scholars. Others treated you like air and could rub it at will.
But what about now? With sharp blades in their hands and murderous intentions, they have the ability not to kneel down, and they have the ability to destroy the beautiful manor life of the scholars.
At that moment, someone stood up, it was Ji Shu, the leader of the Silver Spear Military Building, and heard him say angrily: "In the past, I worked hard all day long in Luoshui to stretch fiber, and could only barely eat. In a year, there are only social days, Zhengdan and sacrifices.
Only when you are the God of the River can you get some meat. When the Xiongnu came, we fought hard to drive them away. Why do you have the delicacies of water and land, but I don't? Why don't you share some with me?"
"I'll eat if you give me some." Although the words are rough, it is the simplest and most direct request of the new martial artists.
They are not communists, and they also want to live a better life than ordinary people. However, the number of warriors is very large. There are tens of thousands of soldiers recruited, and there are also fifty or sixty thousand soldiers in the government. Together with their families and tribes, they directly benefit.
With the population exceeding one million, this is certainly a big improvement compared to scholars enjoying exclusive benefits.
As for improving the living standards of all people, we need to remove obstacles and promote the two-year and three-crop agricultural production model to as many people as possible to harvest more food - generally speaking, under today's circumstances, only homesteaders can benefit.
, the villagers and serfs had better forget it, the extra grain they harvested may not be theirs.
"There are differences between scholars and common people, so why should we say more?" Wang Chong glanced at Ji Shou and said, "How can a soldier handle the ills of the world and find out the advantages and disadvantages of Li people?"
The harvest season is suffocating.
Yan Zhong sighed secretly. What did this soldier do by himself? What a bad thing!
He just wanted to pursue and fight hard, leaving Wang Chongli speechless, but you had better let him change the subject successfully. At this moment, he didn't know what to say, because he also felt uncomfortable with Fang Cai Ji Shou's words.
It is a fact that there are contradictions and conflicts between scholars.
But the soldiers jumped out and blatantly demanded a share of profits. Even though Yan Zhong was a more realistic person and believed that this move was inevitable, he still wasn't happy to be shouted at in person.
That is to say, based on practical considerations, he felt that he should appropriately give up some benefits and endure for the sake of the country, but this does not mean that he agreed in his heart. This was just a choice made out of desperation due to the huge destructive power of the warriors.
To a certain extent, Yan Zhong and Wang Chong are the same kind of people, but one is more realistic and willing to adapt, while the other lives in his own world, accepts death and refuses to adapt.
Shao Xun coughed slightly and said, "I'm way off topic."
Ji Shou was startled, turned around, bowed, and sat down again.
He is good at killing people, but his ability to talk and fight is too weak. If he continues talking, he may be stunned by others.
Shao Xun's eyes fell on Yan Zhong again.
Yan Zhong understood, and after arranging his thoughts, he said to Wang Chong: "You just mentioned man-made disaster. Is the Huns a man-made disaster? In the past, Cao Yi suppressed Qingzhou, plundered the people's wealth, and lost all Pingyang. Is this not a man-made disaster?"
Cao Yi secretly wiped his sweat.
It's too dangerous! There won't be a quarrel until the end. These two people are fine, but he was taken down by the soldiers on the spot to settle old scores, right?
"Liu Jing, a member of the pseudo-Han clan, drowned 30,000 people in the river in Liyang. Isn't this a man-made disaster? That's why I didn't sink you into the river, so that you can speak nonsense here today." Yan Zhong continued.
"Wang Mi came from Sizhou, Qingzhou, and killed countless people."
"Liu Cong's troops surrounded Luoyang, and countless members of the royal family died."
"Dayang, the battle of Changping will not escape even the disciples of famous families."
"Shi Le occupied Yecheng, and all the well-dressed gentlemen entered his camp, and were forced to help Zhou and do evil."
"What's the solution to this disaster?"
"Four years ago, Tuoba Yulu had the idea of Nantu. If King Tigo had not fought bravely and fought to the death, would you have been able to enjoy peace in Yingling?"
Wang Chong glared and said that even if the Xiongnu and Xianbei took over, they would still have to win over the scholars to work for them, and they would still be able to live freely. But this was an unpleasant thing to say, and he did not have much confidence - the Hu people would definitely win over the nobles, but Inadvertent injuries are inevitable during this process. As for who will be injured, it is difficult to say.
But he just wasn't convinced.
The theory of the manor proposed by Zhong Changtong of the Later Han Dynasty, the beautiful picture of "a life of freedom, looking down on the sky and the earth; free from the responsibilities of the moment, and living forever" was engraved in his heart like a stamp of thought.
The self-sufficient manor is the pure land where he rests his body and mind.
In the manor, he had no worries about food and clothing, lived a prosperous life, had countless people to serve him, could read and play, and his thoughts could even travel outside the universe, imagining the mysteries of life, so he was not allowed to be blasphemed by others.
He would scold anyone who wanted to demolish the manor, because this would destroy his faith.
Shao Xun, who was sitting at the top, glanced at Wang Chong expressionlessly.
He cleared up the situation too quickly and protected these scholars too well. The Wang family in Yingling had never suffered. If Shi Hu invaded Qingzhou and fought with Cao Yi in succession like in history, Wang Chong would probably die. I dare not think so.
"Your Majesty." Jin Zheng, who had been silent just now, suddenly stood up and said, "Send this guy to Liyang and find someone to sink into the river."
