After King Jing of Zhou became emperor, all kinds of weird things began to appear in the Central Plains. I didn't expect that such big events would be exposed in the south.
Whether it was Chu State's new commander Yin Bai Gongsheng launching a liquidation of the separatist nobles, or Wu State's canal project having problems, in short it was good news for Jin State.
Among them, Lao Zhijia has benefited the most.
Isn't it?
Zhishi had just launched the second five-year plan. First, there was a thunderstorm in the Lu Kingdom, which also caused frequent citizen riots and slave uprisings in other countries. This obviously put the various vassal states into a dilemma where they had no time to take care of themselves.
Subsequently, Chu and Wu also experienced their own situations, representing the two countries most likely to interrupt Zhi's planned plan. They also fell into their own troubles.
Looking at it that way, unless Zhishi himself is unwilling to be left alone, there will be nothing that can interrupt Zhishi's established development plan within three to five years.
In the middle of winter, a minister from the Zhou royal family suddenly came to "Xintian", and he was accompanied by an envoy from the State of Qin.
"What? Peace?" Zhiyao's father is the 'Yuanrong' of the Jin State, and the diplomatic relations will definitely be summarized.
That's right, the Qin State entrusted the Zhou royal family to act as an intermediary, and sincerely wanted to be soft on the Jin State and end the Han family's repeated western invasions.
From the perspective of the Zhi family, the Western invasion of the old Han family cannot be regarded as a success. On the contrary, it was repeatedly frustrated by the Qin State.
However, the Qin State, as the party involved, definitely didn't see it that way. They first lost 30,000 troops, and even the prince was captured. Later, production was interrupted in the fight against Han's invasion, and another 10,000 to 20,000 troops were lost.
Soldier.
The war took place within the borders of the Qin State. No matter how many visible and invisible losses there were, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State did not need to be very good at settling accounts. Looking at the increasingly empty treasury, it was clear that the war would become more and more uncomfortable.
Zhishen coughed for a while, regained his breath, and then said with a smile: "Exposing one's own weakness is definitely not a wise move."
Just now, when Zhi Yao saw Zhishen coughing so hard, her heart was lifted.
Every winter, Zhishen will be like this, and no matter how to prevent it, it will have no effect.
"Sir, please stay in Puyang in the coming year so that you can supervise the construction of the underground palace." Zhiyao said.
If Lao Zhi's family didn't have a fiefdom where it didn't snow, Zhi Yao would have wanted to keep Zhishen there for a long time.
"How can this be so?" Zhishen knew that Zhiyao cared about him, but as a 'Yuanrong' there was no reason to be away from the capital for a long time.
Zhiyao laid out the facts and said: "Why is it that my family has moved the capital without an adult presiding over it? Besides, after the oath of alliance, everyone does their own thing. There is no national war or national affairs."
It seems that the division of respective expansion directions has made the Zhi family who controls the throne of "Yuanrong" quite disadvantaged? But things cannot just be looked at from one side.
The family that served as the "Yuanrong" in the Jin Kingdom not only took advantage. Once a war broke out, the family that served as the "Yuanrong" would be the one who sent the most troops. This is called what you pay must be rewarded. Whoever pays the most will get the most.
It's not just about using official position to oppress people.
It was each family's turn to take care of their own affairs. Of course, the Zhi family gave up some authority, and at the same time, they did not have to participate in the Western Expedition or the Southern Expedition. Whatever happened, the Han family or the Wei family would be responsible for it themselves. The Zhi family could also concentrate on expanding eastward.
Or expand northward.
Because the position of "Yuan Rong" is still held by the old wise man, there are prerequisites for lifting the table at any time, and he can still do it legitimately by lifting the table.
Under that kind of situation, it is really obvious at a glance who is suffering or taking advantage.
In the end, Zhishen couldn't defeat Zhiyao and could only accept the task of going to "Puyang" to take charge next spring.
"Come with me." Zhishen said.
That's okay. Anyway, Zhikai is already seven years old, so it's really time to go out and see the world.
The rest of Zhiyao's children? They were born far away from their eldest brother Zhikai, with an age difference of five years. The oldest is currently two years and four months old.
Young children are not suitable for traveling far away, and they are even taboo about blowing too much air in daily life. They are afraid of catching a fever and cold, which may lead to premature death under the current medical conditions.
By the way, hasn’t Zhiyao started medical treatment yet?
The fact is that Laozhijia leads the world in the treatment of trauma. As long as the patient is not dead, even the intestines can be sutured. However, the progress in medicine is very slow.
It’s not that Zhiyao doesn’t pay attention to the development of drugs and even makes repeated orders. It is very realistic that some undertakings cannot be quickly promoted by administrative orders.
The rapid development of surgical medical treatment is not complicated by a simple reason: there are simply too many materials.
Can it be less?
After the First World War, hundreds of thousands of people were injured on both sides. The injuries that did not damage the internal organs were sutured. After doing it a lot, you will become familiar with it. The rest were treated again and again, and recorded in the process, which gradually accumulated.
Experienced.
In winter, most people enter a stage of doing nothing.
If conditions permit, some people will read a book by the fire to absorb the nutrients brought by knowledge in a timely manner.
On this day, Zhiyao was chatting with me, mainly listening to me talk about some of my theories.
Lao Tzu is actually a very thick-headed person. He advocates governing by doing nothing and doing everything. At the same time, he pursues the ecology of a small country with few people.
What kind of ecology is a small country with a few people? In a modern way of understanding, it is probably that each of them lives his or her own small life and does not interact with each other until death. A simple summary is the circular economy of small farmers, which pursues self-sufficiency in everything, and believes that only in this way can wars be eliminated.
.
From a military perspective, I advocate the concept of "passive counterattack", that is, not pursuing active expansion. Once someone comes to provoke someone, either not to fight, but to kill the opponent completely in one strike, which also involves the "plan and then act" principle.
Concept.
What needs to be admitted is that Zhiyao used a lot of Lao Tzu's ideas when he planned to conquer the country, but he would never agree with the idea of "a small country with few people".
If you really do that, it will be roughly clear if you look at the Western Han Dynasty. There will definitely be various elders in various places, among which Guo Xie is one of the best and a negative example.
According to Zhiyao's understanding, Laozi's views on people's livelihood tend to be more targeted control, and the government will not end up on its own. It supports one or more spokesmen to lead local development, and it is also to kill fat at any time. This set of rules
Sound familiar? Many dynasties play this way.
The ideas put forward in the Spring and Autumn Period can still be used much later, and the various theories of the Warring States Period are even more so. How can the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period be regarded as an era of theoretical explosion?
What Zhiyao has always been curious about is that I don’t do any special health maintenance. I just have a very regular schedule. I drink when I need to drink and eat when I can. At most, I do exercise at a fixed time, and there is nothing else.
The two of them were talking about the Kingdom of Qin. Zhiyao was mainly curious about why I had to go west. I didn't give Zhiyao an answer before, but today I want to say it.
According to Laozi, the Qin State has gradually turned barbaric and needs someone to bring civilization again.
"..." Zhiyao couldn't believe the answer she heard.
The Qin State was indeed transforming into barbarians! That was because they annexed too many foreign races, and their own number was not enough to dilute the annexed foreign races. As a result, the Qin people were led astray by the foreign races, and their living habits, eating habits, and even
The three views and thinking are tending to Huhua.
Zhiyao asked: "How can you, sir, bring the people of Qin back to civilization?"
I smiled and said: "Gift the book."
Well, there really is nothing more appropriate than going to Qin with some books. What if I go there and then get on the Qin Jun’s line, give books while educating people, and accumulate enough reputation to give advice to the Qin monarchs?
It can make the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State realize the seriousness of their barbarism.
In the original history, did Lao Tzu enter the Qin State? Anyway, the records about Lao Tzu disappeared after leaving Hangu Pass.
In this version of history, it is obvious that I have not completely given up the idea of going west, but many things on the Zhi family are too attractive to me, and I want to participate or bear witness, so I have been delayed.
Zhiyao saw Taihu appear and knew it was Han Geng coming.
Han Geng had made an appointment with Zhiyao a long time ago, so it was a surprise that I came over.
"Come here for Qin's affairs?" I got the answer and stood up slowly to say goodbye.
Zhiyao respects my knowledge and age, so I must send him outside.
It happened that Han Geng came over and bumped into me head-on... It wasn't a physical collision, it was just a look at each other.
Han Geng politely took the lead in saluting and greeting.
To be honest, I am already ninety-six years old this year, so I am considered auspicious. Not to mention being so knowledgeable, Han Geng should show respect.
Han Geng looked at Lao Tzu's retreating back and said, "This is a great virtue and a wise man!"
Need I say this?
Just because I wrote down so many collections of the Zhou royal family in Zhishi, the other families were so envious that they separated. I even left my own writings in Zhishi, not to mention participating in various constructions of Zhishi.
In it.
Among them, when Zhiyao "created" simplified Chinese characters, Laozi was involved, which was regarded as an endorsement to a certain extent.
What Zhiyao is doing is copying, but I don’t see it that way.
In Lao Tzu's view, Zhiyao was just creating characters. Combined with Zhiyao's papermaking and printing technology, Lao Tzu directly asserted that no matter what Zhiyao did or did nothing in the future, people in later generations would definitely use Zhiyao as
Treat it like a saint.
Zhiyao has different opinions on this point. There is no record in the history books who are the inventors of papermaking and printing. Even Cai Lun and Bi Sheng are only considered to have improved on the basis of their predecessors. And these two are not
There is no immediate sanctification.
Zhiyao waited for Han Geng to sit down before taking the initiative to ask: "Are you here for the matter mentioned by the Qin envoy?"
Do you know who the envoy from the State of Qin is? His name is Liu Yang, which is one of the smaller sects of the Fan family, the Liu family, but the Liu family developed on the side of the Qin State.
According to records, Liu Yang is the eighteenth generation ancestor of Liu Bang.
Of course, his name is no longer Liu Yang, nor is he the Liu family, because he got a new fiefdom in the Qin State and changed his name to the Yi Zhong family, and he was named "Wen", so he should be called Yi Zhongwen, or Yi Zhongjuan.
What's interesting is that his son's name is Shiyun. It means that he is very worried about the demise of the old Fan family.
Han Geng nodded.
Before Han Geng wanted to say anything, Zhiyao spoke first...
