Chapter six hundred and ninetieth barbarians into China
Looking at the calm Ye An, Han Yi was slightly surprised. The young man in front of him gave him a very strange feeling. Although his face was immature, his eyes were full of stability that was beyond his age. His every move could not be described as polite.
But it gives people a very comfortable feeling.
When you talk to him, you will forget his age. Whether it is what you have seen from various places, the folk customs of border states, or the shop business in Tokyo, he can deal with it calmly and calmly, and he can even talk about many things that you have never heard before.
Extremely detailed.
This magnanimity does not come from growing older, but rather is something accumulated from a huge amount of experience. If you don’t have enough ink in your stomach, or even see it with your own eyes, you won’t be able to answer fluently, let alone speak coherently.
The more he talked to Ye An, the conversation gradually shifted to strange places. Han Yi was curious about many things, but the most curious thing was about what Ye An did in Huanzhou.
"The Battle of Changsheng Huanzhou is a glimpse into the lives of the people in Bianzhou. We should also consider the affairs in Bianzhou. Suppressing the Qiang rebellion is the next step. We should clarify the root cause. As the deputy envoy to appease, Naifan
I don’t know how wise the public’s right-hand man is!”
This was a kind of test. Ye An thought carefully for a while and then replied: "Han Si has been praised too much, and I don't dare to take it seriously. But after the battle around Huanzhou, Ye An really has some opinions of his own."
Seeing that Ye An did not use age as an excuse, Han Yi had already looked at him with a high look, but it was Ye An's analysis that really moved and amazed him.
"In Ye An's opinion, the original Huanzhou Rebellion was not a rebellion of border people, nor a rift between parties, but a difference in region and race! Although the Xiqiang people attached themselves to the Song Dynasty, they were actually incompetent under the power of power.
It’s just a place to go, but we, the Song Dynasty, are nobles of the Celestial Dynasty. Instead of educating and comforting them, we regard them as barbarians. This is a big mistake!"
Ye An's words aroused Wang Yuan's dissatisfaction. He frowned and looked at Ye An and said: "You talk well, you always make such shocking remarks, and you are not afraid of giving yourself a bad reputation! The Xiqiang people do not belong to the Central Plains and are disrespectful.
Sages who don’t understand etiquette are naturally barbarians!”
"Your Majesty is wrong! I cannot agree with Changsheng! The land south of Lingnan has been barbarian since the Qin Dynasty. However, with the change of dynasties, times have changed. Nowadays, the southerners regard the current dynasty as their prime minister, so how can they be said to be a land of foreigners?
A barbarian?"
Seeing that Wang Yuan wanted to refute, Ye An couldn't help but feel ashamed of the double standard, so he hurriedly interrupted.
"Lingnan used to be Baiyue, and its people were different from those in the Central Plains. They did not respect sages and did not understand etiquette. However, they belonged to the land of our Han family. They were educated by all dynasties, so they gradually became kings.
Become a commoner of my Han family!
How is this different from today’s Xiqiang?
The Song Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and the barbarians should be brought into China. If they abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty, pay taxes on time, respect Confucius and Mencius, and learn etiquette, we the Song Dynasty should naturally regard them as the people under our rule and educate them.
, help them in distress, protect them, never regard them as aliens, and often say that "those who are not of my race must have different hearts"!
With such equal treatment, how can the Xiqiang people disobey, how can Huanzhou be unstable, and how can border states be prone to frequent wars?"
Wang Yuan was speechless after a long explanation, and Han Yi couldn't help but applaud: "Well said, the chaos in Huanzhou was caused by the oppression of the Xiqiang people by our officials in the Song Dynasty, so the great victory of the country was inevitable.
When people investigate the root cause, a certain sage named Shang Shu is also left untouched. It’s a shame that Cui Jien, Zhou Wenzhi and others were spared!”
"Does this mean that we have to give up the saying that "people who are not from my race will have different minds"? Changsheng! Looking at the history books, there are many such lessons! Whenever our Han family is in turmoil, the Yi and Di will definitely take advantage of the situation.
If not, where would the Dangxiang and Khitan today come from?!"
Wang Yong poured a basin of cold water on the side, but Ye An smiled and said: "I just don't want people to talk about this, but I didn't say that I want everyone to forget it! These words were left by our ancestors.
The wise sayings are also lessons learned by our Han family with blood and tears!
It is not a bad thing to always be wary of foreigners, but it is a bad thing to always talk about it. Be tolerant and accepting, be careful to guard against, continue to educate the inward, break them into parts, and defeat them one by one, so that they will become the people of our Han family! Generation by generation
Two generations may still have different customs and habits, but after three generations, they will definitely follow the good tradition, there is no doubt about it!"
Han Yi sighed: "It's too late to see the immortal talent today! The glory of a gentleman will fade in three generations and be killed in five lifetimes! How much less a mortal?! If you continue to impose education and rules, after a few generations, the barbarians will also
Become a Han citizen!"
The flower hall gradually became quiet. Ye An's words gave great inspiration to those present. In fact, Ye An just summarized the experience and general direction of national integration in later generations. This is the crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese history and is naturally better than
The ideas and theories of this era were more advanced.
But the shock given to Han Yi, Wang Yuan, Wang Yong and others was not just a little bit.
How to rule and accept foreigners has always been a concern of the Central Plains dynasties, and has always been a big issue explored by the ancients. The position and prosperity of the Han Dynasty determined that foreigners would continue to pour in. This was an unavoidable practical problem.
However, such difficulties were analyzed by Ye An in an orderly manner, just like a chef who understands a cow by going deep into its roots. Han Yi and others could not help but praise it greatly.
Especially Han Yi, after hearing Ye An's fresh theories, couldn't help but connect them with Ye An's "family learning".
"O Changsheng! I heard that your family's learning lies in the study of objects. Do you also get this idea from the study of objects?"
Seeing Han Yi's curiosity, Ye An burst into laughter. This was a good opportunity to promote the study of objects, so he said: "Han Si Feng has a keen eye. This is the dialectical method in my study of objects, that is, there is no absolute in everything."
In other words, we should examine the development of things through dialectical analysis, speculate on the future development of things through summary, judgment, reasoning, etc., and finally get the correct answer."
Ye An explained the essence of dialectics. Although it was a bit difficult to understand for Han Yi and others, the general idea was understandable. After all, they were all extremely knowledgeable people who could become senior officials of the Song Dynasty.
One is not a top person?
Their logic and thinking are enough to keep up with the arguments put forward by Ye An. Although ancient China did not have a mature logic system, philosophical thoughts are constantly developing, which has indirectly constructed the ancients' understanding of logic.
Not even inferior to the professionals of later generations.
Han Yi spoke after a long time: "The Changsheng family seems to be obscure and difficult to understand, which is contrary to what I have learned at the moment. But if I study its principles deeply, it will suddenly become enlightened, but it seems to be covered by fog. It's almost impossible.
That final touch is so wonderful and mysterious!"
Ye An smiled on the surface, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. He really doubted whether the IQ of the ancients was higher than that of later generations. Apart from anything else, just by giving a small framework himself, Han Yi, Wang Yuan and even
It was Wang Yuan and the other three who had already begun to fall into deep thought.
And the feeling Han Yi mentioned was exactly the feeling of touching the edge of philosophy, as if he could see the essence of things all of a sudden, but countless questions followed one after another, making him at a loss.
Ye An tentatively whispered: "This is where the study of things comes from. The more you know, the more ignorant you feel..."
Snapped!
Fan Yong suddenly slapped his thigh, startling Ye An and exclaimed: "This is what it feels like!"
