Chapter 2398 Stupid and Crazy

Chang'an.

A guy who loves drinking and beauties once said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

This world is a circle of right and wrong, where there are always people colliding and fighting, and then trampling others down, becoming a stepping stone for one to climb up.

Fei Qian knows this, so he can tolerate some fights, or healthy competitions, even if they are more intense, but he doesn't like other fights very much.

Sometimes people say that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, but they often forget that when the water is muddy, there are often no fish, leaving only some oil, duckweed, and pollutants, and then it becomes a pool of stagnant water.

When an empire is big, there will always be some people who think that because the empire is too big, there will naturally be some minor problems, but they are insignificant and do not affect the overall situation, so they can be ignored for the time being and dealt with when they have time.

Is it wrong to focus on the general direction and key points first?

But when I turned around, I realized that it was just a small wound, but now it was completely rotten. Either I had to put a plaster on the outside to let it continue to rot, or I needed to open up the belly and do an operation.

How to choose?

When you wait until this time, will you recall that you thought you would deal with minor problems "when you have time" and focus on the key points "first"? Are there any problems? Why can't we do it together? If you don’t try it, how will you know if you can do it together? When treating diarrhea, can't you apply some ointment on psoriasis?

The main hall of General Hussar's Mansion.

Fei lurked in the hall to practice calligraphy.

Each stroke of Chinese characters has its own soul, especially Han Li, whose strokes are like a knife, showing its majesty. Even after thousands of years, it still occupies an unshakable place in calligraphy.

Although Fei Qian's handwriting is not yet up to the level of a master calligrapher, he already has some sufficient skills, and his horizontal and vertical strokes are quite organized. In fact, when it comes to calligraphy, you just need to practice more. Once you practice more, you will naturally know how to write better. As for what he wrote about being astonishing when he started writing, that's just bragging.

As for thin gold fonts, italic bold fonts, etc., Fei Qian was not familiar with them when he arrived. It was okay to use typesetting software to refresh the format, but it was naturally a bit difficult to write them out in person. On the other hand, if you take half a step forward, you are a genius; if you take two more steps, you are a madman. Han Li had to go through continuous evolution and subsequent changes before it finally had regular script, thin gold script, etc. However, when these fonts were taken out in the Han Dynasty, there were only two characters left...

hehe.

Just like when Fei Qian first traveled through time, he muttered a few poems that were memorized in primary and secondary schools in later generations. Moreover, he was incomplete and did not meet the aesthetic needs of the Han Dynasty at all.

The Han Dynasty had its own needs.

To put it simply, production relations that adapt to productivity are the most appropriate. And productivity will change, so production relations naturally need to change, and this process of change is like treating a disease. Major diseases need to be treated, as well as minor ones. conditioning,

During the war, the Hussar Mansion in Chang'an was always busy.

In times without war, the Hussar Mansion in Chang'an is always busy.

As the most important command center among the Han Dynasty, Hussars General Fei Qian's every move, word and deed will contact tens of millions of soldiers and civilians, causing various problems.

When the Cavalry General Fei Qian was first in Chang'an, many of his relatives, regardless of whether they were related by blood, all relied on Fei Qian anyway. Even some people, relying on the reputation of the Huang family or the Cai family, condone the slaves to do whatever they want, openly bullying men and dominating women.

At that time, some of the officials among the three assistants in Chang'an did not dare to take care of it, while others deliberately condoned it. Until Fei Qian personally ordered the arrest of Fei He and ordered him to commit suicide in prison. The number of people involved was unknown. Only then could this trend be barely stopped.

Then Fei Qian went down to arrest these three auxiliary officials. The local powerful could also catch them.

Otherwise, why would there be an exclusive title of "Ya Nei" in later generations?

This is a huge protective umbrella!

War is cruel, but internal fighting is even more cruel.

Arrows, knives, guns, even stone bullets and kerosene are all visible things, but those invisible and intangible opponents are even more terrifying.

Pang Tong turned around the corridor and stepped on the wooden boards on the corridor.

The boards groaned.

"Shi Yuan..." Fei Qian said slowly, "It seems that I'm going to let you go hiking with me in two days... It's really hard for you to gain weight like this..."

Pang Tong is still young and has gained some weight. Well, he has more meat. There will be no problem in the first few years. However, as he grows older, some obesity syndromes will slowly accumulate, and then he may not be able to It will be harmful in the end, but it will always increase the probability of Pang Tong's various diseases.

"climb mountains? Pang Tongyi had a sad look on his face, "Just wait two days, lord, wait two days..."

"Wait two days?" Okay, just wait two days. ” Fei Qian said with a smile, “Don’t worry, it’s better to follow the previous itinerary...climb the easier part first...eat the food bit by bit, and climb the mountain bit by bit...”

Fei Qian knew that if a fat man like Pang Tong were to exercise vigorously all at once, it would harm Pang Tong. However, starting simple and slowly increasing the amount of exercise would help detoxify Pang Tong's body.

Just like facing the symptoms of the Han Dynasty, from simple to complex, from simple to complex. Whatever can be cured at a stage should be treated first. There is no such thing as waiting or ignoring minor illnesses.

"Are you ready to provide pensions for soldiers?" ” Fei Qian asked another question.

In a battle, there will be no one who will die, even if the battle is won. Soldiers died for their country, and post-war pensions are a top priority.

The outward appearance of offering sacrifices to prisoners was done in front of the emperor, but the compensation for the fallen soldiers was fulfilled in reality.

When Pang Tong heard Fei Qian's inquiry, he nodded and said, "It's all arranged... If the soldier dies of illness in battle, the soldier will be given three stones as funeral expenses, five years of rehabilitation, and three years if he dies of illness in the camp..."

The funeral expenses of three shi of money and grain are actually not much, but the focus is on "restoration", which means that the families of soldiers who died in battle do not have to pay taxes or bear corvee labor for three or five years. This means Very important.

In later generations, most taxes were covered in the daily consumption of ordinary people. To put it simply, those hidden indirect taxes, whose specific proportions were never announced, would complete the economic process of extraction and return of money. However, in the current Han Dynasty, with For families, taxation based on the number of people is the most important thing.

"Is the roster ready? Fei Qian asked.

Pang Tong took out a volume from his sleeve and said, "My lord, the list of soldiers killed in Longxi and Longyou is here... The ones from Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu are still being compiled..."

In addition to pensions for dead soldiers, there are also subsidies and care for the disabled. If the soldiers who were injured but not dead were unable to continue serving, they would be returned to their hometowns and given one stone and three years of restoration. Listed in the county roster, if there are vacancies for inspection and other positions, priority can be given to filling them.

This is an ordinary soldier. If he is above the station commander, up to the school captain, if he is killed in battle and has accumulated military titles, he can be inherited by his son, and he can also add one level of inheritance.

As for the general's pension, it is even more grand.

Of course, Fei Qian doesn't hope that this standard will actually be used...

Military merit can be exchanged for military titles, acres of land, money, etc. To put it simply, in the Hussars, military merit is the equivalent of all commodities, and can even exempt some less important crimes!

At the same time, there are generous war death pensions, which is one of the factors that make the soldiers under the Hussars so brave and good at fighting, because these soldiers know that they only need to be responsible for fighting for their lives on the battlefield, and they do not need to worry too much about other things.

"In addition, we also sent envoys in plain clothes..." Pang Tong said slowly, "In addition to providing relief, it is also a kind of comfort to ask the envoys to ask questions about the family..."

Fei Qian nodded.

Pang Tong continued: "If the family is in dire straits, the situation should be reported. For example, if there are no brothers in the family and there are parents and wives, they can receive full military pay for three years, and then half three years. If their parents are widowed, or their children have not yet grown up, they can Receive half salary until the parents pass away or their son becomes a adult..."

Collecting the bones for official burial, offering sacrifices for mourning and praying for blessings, building ancestral temples, paying funeral expenses, sending envoys to express condolences, exempting officials from taxes and servitude, nurturing heirs, and giving preferential treatment to the bereaved family members are all the rules set by Fei Qian, and basically speaking, All those who join the army will tell these things clearly from the beginning when they enter the barracks.

"Is there anyone who is lining their own pockets?" Fei Qian nodded and placed the roster on the side of the table. "Anyone who dares to embezzle pension funds will be punished according to military law..."

Fei Qian emphasizes this point almost every time, and his tone is very serious. Because military power is Fei Qian's foundation, only by grasping the hearts of the soldiers at the grassroots level can the flag of the Hussars fly high. If anyone wants to make such a fortune from a dead person, Fei Qian will not mind letting him become a real dead person.

This cannot be compromised. If you want to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under Qiusi's command, you must do all of this. If someone dares to openly violate these express provisions, they must be prepared to pay the price.

"My lord is wise. ” Pang Tong cupped his hands and said, “I will definitely pay attention to this matter...”

Before Feiqian, the Han Dynasty also had a soldier pension system. One was to provide pensions for wounded soldiers. Those who are injured in the military must perform hard service at half the amount of those with the same title. If their physical condition prevents them from performing hard service, they may be exempted.

The second is to give priority to death. Give him a rich burial. If you unfortunately die in the war, the state will provide generous pensions. Give preferential treatment to descendants. "Book of Han": "The descendants of the deceased were taken to raise Yulin, and the officials trained them with five soldiers, and they were called Yulin Orphans." 』The descendants of the deceased will be adopted by the country and taught military skills. Succession by demotion. Most of the military titles of the Han Dynasty were downgraded and inherited, but the descendants of those who died in the line of duty could fully inherit their father's titles. If their father had no titles, he could be awarded a first-class title.

Therefore, people like Fei Qian not only were not demoted, but were even promoted, and were even compensated for their family members, parents, and wives, which indeed made other princes and soldiers envious and jealous.

It's not that the other princes don't want to follow Fei Qian, after all, this kind of thing cannot be hidden, but if they really want to do it, one has no money, and the other is reluctant.

Everyone knows what kind of state the big man is in right now.

The current Han Dynasty is no longer the dynasty after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ruled from Wen Jing, nor is it the prosperous age after the Guangwu Zhongxing. Instead, it is a shabby Han Dynasty that is in the process of collapse.

Even a fool knows that giving benefits to the soldiers is very important. If you grasp the morale of the army, your throne will be stable. Even if a general instigates or falsely sends orders and intends to rebel, as long as Fei Qian stands up or brings The general with Fei Qian's will stood up, and all the monsters and demons were nowhere to be seen. Just like Hanzhong and Sichuan, the situation seemed to be dangerous at first, but it was suppressed in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that people's hearts were against each other.

But the problem is, these princes don't have that much money.

Even if they have money, these princes are reluctant to use it for soldiers other than their own troops directly under them!

"By the way..." Fei Qian suddenly said, "In the past, there was the Heroes' Temple in Pingyang. During the big sacrifice, three animals were burned with incense... But Pingyang is a bit far away after all... Now Longxi Academy is under construction, so why not build it at the same time? A separate temple to commemorate the spirits of those who died in the Longyou War in Longxi..."

Major national events take place in the army and in sacrifice. But it is obviously not enough to only hold sacrifices in Pingyang and Chang'an every year. The people far away, also the common people of the Han Dynasty, should also know the heroic deeds of these soldiers and soldiers.

Pang Tong nodded and said, "I have written it down..."

This matter itself is not a big deal. Building a school requires a lot of bricks, stones, beams and wood. Building an additional yard or building an ancestral hall is nothing at all. Unlike some places in later generations, the official houses are more magnificent than the others, while the martyrs' tombs are in disrepair.

After dealing with the matter of the fallen soldiers and soldiers, Fei Qian turned his attention to Qinglong Temple.

During this period, Qinglong Temple was very lively, with countless people surging, trying to let others hear their voices and express their opinions. Participants in the discussion talked from sunrise to sunset every day. It is said that hundreds of people in Chang'an The hospital has treated several patients whose voices were hoarse and abnormal due to talking too much.

"The discussion in Qinglong Temple is very complicated..." Pang Tong took out another scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Fei Qian, "Someone excerpted some and asked the lord to read..."

Fei Qian took it and looked at it, frowning a little.

There are many items currently being discussed in Qinglong Temple. One is the true or false issue of "burning books and entrapping Confucianism" proposed by Xin Xianying and Liu Xi. This issue involves the lifeblood of Confucianism, and it may cause pain in the balls. Therefore, many Confucian disciples and scholars participated in the discussion. Coupled with Xin Xianying's blessing, it attracted many young gentry disciples to participate in the discussion.

The other one is the "Law of Corruption", especially the discussion on whether Julien's three rules are too harsh. Basically, these are slightly older or even middle-aged nobles, because these middle-aged nobles Most of the children play some important or unimportant roles in the family or various industries, and the "Law of Corruption" is closely related to them. If some relaxation can be achieved in this regard, then it will naturally represent countless money, so the attacks are more vicious...

"God has the virtue of a happy life!" 』

"If there are mistakes, correct them; if there are no mistakes, encourage them!" How can one decide on one thing! 』

"People can not escape from doing wrong? 』

"..."

And so on, all kinds of things.

When asking others, it means that others are moral pacesetters and saints are coming. But when it comes to oneself, even if it is to watch a protagonist with a slight sense of substitution do something good, it is the Biaozi Archway, the Virgin is Poisonous!

These people who keep saying they should be benevolent and tolerant are undoubtedly such a group of people.

Fei Qian clicked on the scroll and said, "Something strange..."

Pang Tong smiled, "What do you mean, I want to see if I can keep an eye on these guys..."

Fei Qian suddenly realized.

Isn't this the same approach as some foundations in later generations always support some "people" to carry out "just actions"?

Roses, calla lilies, short candles, bold photo frames, specially added bilingual signs...

To whom? Without bilingualism, maybe some people won’t be able to understand Chinese characters? If you don’t prove your merits and performance, it’s hard to get the year-end bonus!

"check! Fei Qian agreed, "By the way, let this guy Yunjiro go to Qinglong Temple to be responsible for this kind of discussion, register the issues, and arrange the venue..."

Yun Er is a rough-skinned guy. After he came to Chang'an, he was looking for fights all day long. Then for some reason he hooked up with Xu Chu, the capital of Wei, and made appointments at the school grounds almost every three days. Blacksmithing...

In Qinglong Temple, the right to use the square is open to the public. As long as it does not interfere with others or engage in any high-risk artistic behavior, no one will usually stop it. If you want to keep others to listen to you, That must be true ability, just like preaching in parks or squares in later generations. There must be something that can leave the footsteps of others.

In the Qinglong Temple building, the number of halls is of course limited, and a certain usage fee must be paid. Depending on the usage fee, corresponding services can also be provided, from banners to meals, and even applause from the audience. The "people", as long as the fees are paid, the speaker will definitely be able to leave satisfied.

However, the supply of these halls still exceeds the demand, so there must be a clerk responsible for coordination and arrangements, and one is not enough, several more are needed, responsible for registering the usage time and number of people for each session, and clearing the halls when necessary. Get rid of those guys who get dizzy as soon as they get on stage and then refuse to leave while holding on to the stage...

"Well? My lord, this is..." Pang Tong was a little surprised. After all, Yunji is a rough guy who doesn't even know a few Chinese characters. Why should he be asked to go to Qinglong Temple to be responsible for project review of discussion topics?

Fei Qian chuckled, and then pointed to the book Pang Tong brought, "Look, these arguments and arguments are fine for you and me to read, but ordinary people can't understand them..."

If ordinary people can't understand it, it means that the level of knowledge is too high, which means that the audience of these guys' words are ordinary nobles. Obviously, the main beneficiaries of the "Law of Corruption", apart from Fei Qian and others, are these ordinary people.

And in this process, if even Yun Er can understand and understand...

"But..." Pang Tong frowned and said, "This..."

"Let you, Zhengping, go with you again..."

Fei Qian knew what Pang Tong was worried about, so he laughed and said.

"Are you Zhengping?" Pang Tong thought for a moment, and then laughed together, "Wonderful!" Wonderful! 』

One is silly and the other is crazy.

Isn't that wonderful?
