"What does it mean to keep pace with the times?" Liu Han asked with interest.
"Do you know the shortcomings of Han Confucianism?" Shao Xun asked rhetorically.
Liu Han smiled gently and said: "It goes without saying. The theory of divine connection between heaven and man, and miraculous theories are all over the classics, and the disadvantages are huge."
"As far as the connection between heaven and man is concerned, it is not a big deal." Shao Xun said: "When were the "Poetry", "Book", "Li", "Yi", "Le" and "Spring and Autumn" completed?"
"In the pre-Qin period, how much was the harvest per mu? How much is it now?"
"Millet was still grown in the Han Dynasty, but now there is a two-year and three-crop system, and there is also a method of cultivating fields with compost."
"How were the kings and ministers during the reign of Emperor Zhou? How are they now?"
"In the early Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were ignorant, but one Han Dynasty could serve as the Five Husbands. How many could they be in the Later Han Dynasty? Nowadays, there are high-bridge saddles and double stirrups. How do these Huqi horses compare to those in the two Han Dynasties?"
“Bamboo slips were still used during the Han Dynasty, but in the past twenty years paper has become increasingly cheap and has become very popular.”
Having said this, Shao Xun glanced at everyone and said: "The ancients did not accept San, but today's people do."
"Everywhere is different, everything is different. From ancient times to the present, the changes have been earth-shaking." He looked at Liu Han again and said: "But people today are still reading books from hundreds of years ago, and the things contained in the books are even older.
, more than a thousand years ago. Sikong, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
"Let's go back to the shortcomings of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty." Shao Xun said again: "After the Han Dynasty, Confucian classics became an official school. In the later Han Dynasty, the interpretation of the classics required Haoshou Qiongjing, and the annotation of the classics required extensive reference. If there was any incomprehension, they would dig into it.
Attachment. Why? Because the things recorded in the book are more than a thousand years old, and future generations may not be able to fully understand them."
"Today's people talk without citing the classics, otherwise they will be looked down upon. Since the Later Han Dynasty, there have been those who have worked hard to gain knowledge of the classics and become officials, and only study hard, taking the classics as their guide. In this way, today's people read all the ancient books and have no books.
.Maybe people in the world will still be reading these books thousands of years later, which is even more ridiculous."
"This is about advancing with the times." Shao Xun said, "What does Sikong think?"
Liu Han was speechless for a moment.
Is there a big difference between now and the time of Emperor Zhou? It's a lot different.
Is a book that was suitable for that era still suitable for today? He thought about it and found that it was generally suitable, but there were also many things that were not suitable and needed improvement.
"Today's interpretation of scriptures may be able to -" he said.
"Sewing repairs may be useful, but there will be a day when it will be useless." Shao Xun said unceremoniously: "Are you so unambitious that you don't even dare to write a book about it?"
Liu Han felt ashamed. It seemed that he could no longer say the countless words he had prepared before. They were all blocked in his heart.
Shao Xun smiled.
The H-6 is basically just like that. You have produced more than a dozen models, but the overall framework is there. How much potential can be tapped? It is better to redesign the H-20 and make changes on this basis in the future.
After talking to Liu Han, Shao Xun looked at everyone again and said: "Advancing with the times is not only applicable to Confucian classics, but in fact it is all-encompassing. For example, in today's world, warriors fight with all their strength to hold back the heavens.
Should I be rewarded generously?"
After that, he pointed to the distance and said: "Did you see it? Those are the soldiers of Luonan Prefecture. More than two thousand people have been awarded the rank of flying cavalry captain. They can occupy the land according to their official rank and leave their descendants to their descendants. This is because they risk their lives to fight.
How can a scholar survive alone without the hard work of others to obtain what he has obtained?"
"During the great upheaval in Heluo, how many scholars died under the sword? How many manors were burned to the ground?"
"The times have changed, and we have to keep pace with the times. Scholars cannot protect themselves and rely on warriors to fight for protection, so why not give them benefits?" Shao Xun's tone became more impolite and said: "Of honorable officers.
I will definitely implement this system. Not only Luonan Prefecture soldiers will have decorated officers, but from next year, Dongping and Gaoping Prefecture soldiers will also be awarded medals based on merit. In addition, in the future, what will be the criteria for the selection of officials by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Cao?
We also need to discuss it."
Wang Yan raised his head in surprise. King Liang had clearly promised not to interfere with the official affairs, so why now...
But he soon realized that he was just asking for a high price.
Today I say it is about discussing the Tao, but in fact it is about dividing the fat.
Tens of thousands of troops lined up on the side, the soldiers' momentum was already downgraded, and their words did not take much advantage. The general tone had been set.
Yu Chen was also observing silently.
When Shao Xun stood up to speak, he knew that this was the final word. If he refuted at this time, he would lose face.
At this time, he was vaguely worried that another foolish young man would ruin the situation, so he gave a signal with his eyes.
After Luoyang ordered Yu Bing to receive the instruction, he immediately stood up, bowed first, and said: "What the king said is absolutely true. Warriors fight for the country, how can scholars lag behind others? When conquering the south of the Yangtze River, everyone will be brave, and everyone will be brave.
Everyone fights to be the first to get rid of the national traitors."
Shao Xun looked at the others again. Most of them were silent and did not reply.
He knew that today's impact was a bit big, and these scholars still needed time to digest it. He was not in a hurry, Jinyang's discussion of Taoism was not just a day, it would last for a while, and there were many things to do.
When he looked back, only Liang Fen, Cao Shangshu, and Cui Yu, Taichang Qing, had something to say.
He nodded and told them to speak if they had anything to say. "The king's words to 'advance with the times' made me enlightened." Liang Fen said: "In the past, the Han Dynasty divided the Zhenghu and the mixed Hu, but they did not impose much restraint. At that time, the Xiongnu
After the new defeat, morale was low, so they were content for a while. By the time of the two emperors Huan and Ling, the country's power declined and the threat was greatly reduced. However, after years of recuperation, the Huns gradually regained their strength, grew their ambitions, and continued to expand their territory."
"During the Cao and Wei Dynasties, the only policy to control the Xiongnu was to restrain the Xiongnu. As a result, the country was eventually out of control and caused great disasters. If we could keep pace with the times and continue to use new laws to control them, it might be different."
At the end, Liang Fen sighed and said: "Now we have to face it. Your Majesty's 'Yi Xia Juan' is the fundamental method at this time. It can be said to be 'advancing with the times'. I think that if the descendants of Chief Xihu come to
If you surrender, the officials may determine the surname and family status of the captives based on their place of origin, without waiting for the entire clan to surrender. In this way, if you send troops to Guanxi in the future, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
"This is a wonderful strategy." Shao Xun said: "After evaluating the family status, you can assign officials based on your talents and set an example."
"Your Majesty is wise." Liang Fen praised.
"Your Majesty." After Liang Fen finished speaking, Cui Yu said again: "Some people specialize in Huang Lao's theory and regard doing nothing to govern as the foundation of their lives. However, they don't know that times have changed and the world has changed. This is a big mistake. In the Wenjing period of the former Han Dynasty, there was no need to do anything.
However, in the era of Han Dynasty and Wu Dynasty, we could not think of this. One policy at a time, the times are different, and the strategies are different. We must not ignore the past and not change it. This is called 'advancing with the times'."
"Now it is peaceful in the north of Hebei Province, but Yuwen and Murong are by his side, but it is not yet time to sit back and relax and recuperate. The talk of resorting to war is really nonsense. Only when the thieves of that generation come to them with dignified troops can they be pacified, so that the world can be at peace.
.”
"Shan." Shao Xun smiled.
The scholars in Guanxi and Hebei did not oppose the war because they felt heartache and deep concern. This was different from the scholars in Henan.
"You should discuss the matter discussed today and consider it again and again." After Shao Xun said this, he stood up and went to change clothes.
****
As the sun sets in the west, Fenshui is dyed bright red.
It was rare for Wang Yan and Yu Chen to get together to discuss matters.
"Zimei, how many people do you think can respond to the idea of ​​building a manor in Jiangnan?" Wang Yan asked.
"Jiangnan is still in the hands of King Langya. It is too early to talk about this." Yu Chen said: "It is really difficult for the king to come up with this strategy."
Wang Yan laughed and said: "Actually, under the general trend, many people just want a reason to convince themselves. The more officers you have, the more farmland you need. Sooner or later, you will have to ask for land from the scholars. If your Majesty doesn't do this,
Taking advantage of the situation and trying your best to suppress it may not necessarily be impossible, but it will only lead to endless turmoil and ruin the good situation. It will also lose countless money, food, and people. It will only make relatives and enemies happy, but it is not worth it.
.”
"This is true knowledge and insight." Yu Chen said with a smile: "This is what I admire the most about your Majesty. He will never use weapons or weapons until the last moment. Instead, he will understand people with reason, move them with emotion, and lure them with profit.
This kind of mind can be called democracy."
Wang Yan sighed with complicated emotions and said: "In the past few days, I will visit the Qingxu scholars and tell them about Jiangnan. In fact, if the land of Wuyue is properly managed, it can be regarded as a land of plenty."
"Isn't that person from the Lanling Xiao family back? Maybe I can ask him to help..." Yu Chen said.
"No." Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "He suffered hardships in Jinling. I'm afraid he will scare away a large group of people."
Yu Chen couldn't help laughing.
"Isn't it Bian Zhongren who came back from Jingzhou when he offered wine to you?"
"Bian Zhongren is great." Wang Yan said: "In fact, many scholars have returned to the north in recent years. If you ask more about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, you will definitely know better. Zimei, what else did the king say?"
"Indeed." Yu Chen said: "The king once said that the products in the south of the Yangtze River are rich, but it is a pity that no one picks them. He gave the example of Gebu, which is very comfortable to wear in summer. The price is not low in the north.
It is for the enjoyment of wealthy households. If it can be planted widely and transported to the counties in the north on large ships, the price will drop significantly and ordinary people will also be able to enjoy the benefits."
"Isn't it easy to harvest Gebu?" Wang Yan asked.
"Girls from the south of the Yangtze River often harvest this stuff, and it's really not easy to scratch their palms." Yu Chen said: "When the king talked about this, he said that if a manor uses half of the field to grow grain and the other half to grow kudzu, it will be different from
The benefits of trade in the north are great. Not only Ge, but also tea gardens can be built. Nowadays, tea is mostly enjoyed by officials and scholars, and the traders and lackeys have no chance to taste it. This is also a pity. In addition to Ge and tea, the king also mentioned
And lacquer garden, medicine garden and so on..."
"Are there so many people?" Wang Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Cutting down mountains and destroying strongholds, arresting natives, that's all." Yu Chen said.
"Can it be sold?" Wang Yan asked again.
"If there are more soldiers and their tribes, more people should buy them." Yu Chen said, "This is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
Wang Yan nodded slightly.
If King Liang had accomplished this, the world would have been completely changed.
He was a little confused.
"It's hard for us to guess what the future will bring, and I think King Liang doesn't know much either." Yu Chen sighed and said, "Anyway, having such thoughts on your mind should be able to appease many people. We will talk about the future matters later.
"
"Yes." Wang Yan was worried.
He could see that King Liang wanted to change the world, but he didn't know what means he wanted to use to change it.
