Chapter 2598 Concepts, Education and Reform

The officials in Guanzhong of the Han Dynasty never realized that the topic they were discussing at the moment had exceeded the original boundaries of history and was moving closer to the information war or cultural war of later generations. Although it was still very superficial, that kind of The new concept has stimulated the officials in Guanzhong to gradually distance themselves from the original Han officials.

In the original Qin and Han dynasties, local officials were carefree and could only do one thing in a year -

tax.

This is the only thing that is mandatory and must be done well, but are there other things?

It is a life of conscience.

If you are willing to do something, do more of it; if you are not willing to do it, just be free and at ease.

Of course, this is an upper-level official, at the officer level.

Those lower-level officials are always working hard no matter what time they are. Living in a dormitory, you are not allowed to bring your home certificate, and you have one day off every five days. As for the living conditions, they are quite acceptable. Historical records record that "when Li Si was young, he was a county official. He was frightened when he saw rats in the toilets of the officials' houses without food and approaching people and dogs." 』

As for whether it is true or false, I can only ask Sima.

Now, Feiqian has not only improved the treatment of these middle and lower-level officials, but also raised the requirements for their abilities. The most important thing is that Feiqian has provided some opportunities for these middle- and lower-level officials to stand out. , which is extremely rare.

Previously in the Han Dynasty, or in the feudal dynasty for a considerable period of time afterwards, whether the middle and lower-level officials, especially the lower-level officials, did well was separate from whether they were promoted or not. Those who do well may not necessarily be promoted, and those who work hard may not necessarily be promoted. On the contrary, those who never put their minds on work, flatter others with one idea, and bribe their bosses will get up faster than anything else.

Over time, what kind of good officials can such an officialdom produce?

How could it be possible to do something to push the entire country, political system, and entire Chinese nation forward?

Fortunately, Fei Qian has again set the standard for promotion in terms of ability, and from time to time will provide some exceptional promotion opportunities similar to the "True Sutra Incident" based on specific needs. Those who are capable will have the opportunity to break away from the original barriers and enter a new level.

For example, Xing Yong.

"My wife has a bad nature, so she should be taught and transformed." The true meaning of the true scripture should be attributed to education, not the magical powers of the five directions. 』

Xing Yong wrote the beginning, then subconsciously put the pen tip into his mouth and licked it.

"The ancient scriptures are either elegant or obscure and difficult to compare with. Now look at Zhou Gong's Yi, although it covers the universe, it is not something that a smart person can't read. Although what Lao Tzu taught contains the great truth, it cannot be understood by those who are enlightened. Therefore, the two classics should not be taught lightly, and teaching them will not be beneficial to China. 』

"Wei Chen believes that the Five Directions Sutra should be regarded as the reality of culture and education, and it can embody the Chinese literature in the form of easy-to-implement things for food, clothing, residence, and rituals..."

The more Xing Yong wrote, the more he felt that it involved more things. Halfway through, he frowned, read it up and down again, and then shook his head, obviously not very satisfied.

Xing Yong felt that he needed more targeted research and could not just stay on such superficial narratives.

Xing Yong put down his pen, then put aside the article he just started, got up and started searching on his bookshelf, and stopped after a while...

There was no book he was looking for.

When the book is used, it will be less regretful.

By the way, the Choi Library!

Xing Yong stood up hastily, then walked out of the door and headed towards the Cai Library in the city. When he arrived in front of the library, he found that there was already a long queue outside the library, including soldiers and minor officials. Standing guard at the entrance of the library, "Get in line!" queue! Anyone who disrupts order will be expelled! Each person is limited to two hours at a time, please register first..."

Xing Yong had no choice but to follow the queue. After waiting for a long time, he finally got the sign with the time and sequence number registered. When he got it, he saw that they had already been queued for tomorrow...

"Brother!" This brother! ’ Suddenly a voice sounded.

When Xing Yong looked up, he saw someone smiling at him, with a wrinkled face. He subconsciously took a small step back and asked, "...What are you doing?" 』

"Well... let's take a step to talk..." The man said with a smile, trying to pull Xing Yong to the side.

Xing Yong slapped his hand away and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. It doesn't have to be like this!" 』

"May I ask, brother...if you are willing to sell...this thing?" "The man reached out and pointed at the sign that Xing Yong had just received, "The price is easy to talk about, easy to talk about..."

Xing Yong quickly put the sign in his arms and said, "Sorry, I didn't intend to sell it." 』

"This... I'm here for the officer..." When the man saw that Xing Yong was not attracted by money, he immediately changed his mind, and the wrinkles on his face began to stand up, "If the officer knew that it was my brother who gave in, Definitely in my heart..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm here for the chief..." Xing Yong didn't want to talk more, so he casually cupped his hands and walked away.

The man was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Xing Yong was gone, he had no choice but to look for his next target among the other green-clothed officials.

Xing Yong looked at the longer and longer queue and couldn't help but sigh, and then he went home as if he was carrying some treasure.

There are only two hours to borrow books tomorrow, so I have to go home first and prepare...

……?(*–-)?……

In fact, to be fair, education is not brainwashing, nor is it derogatory.

Education is to teach people to be kind and to teach them civilization.

The simplest example is naughty children. They lack the education to pay attention to the interests of others around them. They are self-centered and ignore that society is gregarious. A person must have contact and communication with others, so the behavior of naughty children seems out of place. Displeasing.

Especially when an emperor is a brat...

Teach people to be kind, civilize them, and give them knowledge to grow and have a healthy personality. The replacement of one generation will lead to the inheritance of certain extensive cultural educations, and ultimately form a group appearance.

Dahan is undoubtedly very strong in this aspect at the moment.

The officials at the middle and lower levels were arguing fiercely in search of ideas for policy making and painstakingly looking for information, while the elders at the upper levels had already made up their minds.

According to Sima Yi's understanding, a hussar general usually wants not only shrimps, but also pig hearts.

Sima Yi believes that the so-called "True Scripture" is definitely not just a simple scripture, but how to subtly make Xue District, and foreign countries like Xue District, become good children of China, rather than Be a naughty kid.

Sima Yi can be sure of this.

Classics were the carrier of civilization in the Han Dynasty. What is given, what is not given, what can be shown to foreigners, and what should be replaced by stars, the mystery of this...

And we also need to consider the problems in the promotion process, otherwise there will be an embarrassing situation like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. Obviously they defeated the Huns, but if you look at the profits, it is really pitiful...

How much benefit did the battle of Dragon City, which shocked the Han Dynasty and was proud of, gain?

Sorry for the loss.

It’s not like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing didn’t capture cattle and sheep, but where have all those cattle and sheep gone?

It entered the stomach, ate and drank for a while, pooped, and was gone.

Why did you eat them all?

It’s not because I don’t know how to raise it.

Why don't you know how to raise it and why don't you learn it?

Because the lower-level officials feel that it is strenuous and thankless, it is better to cut it across the board.

Sima Yi sneered slightly. Isn't this behavior the same as the nomads driving their animals to eat the crops in the fields?

Short-sighted and incompetent!

Therefore, Sima Yi believes that the main entry point for his policy should be here. No matter what "true scripture" is given, it ultimately depends on people to implement it. And how can we make these people really do it well instead of just perfunctory? To do something wrong, or to turn a good thing into a bad thing.

It's like each county has its own "family law", but all the conflicts are pushed to the court.

Following this line of thinking, Sima Yi also made a mental draft in his mind. Just as he was thinking about it with his eyes narrowed, he turned around and saw Zhong Jie wandering over from the corridor.

"Prince of Dali Temple!" Brother Sima Xian! ” Before Zhongjie arrived, he was already saying hello with a bright smile.

Sima Yi pulled up the muscles at the corners of his mouth, revealing some of his white teeth, "I've seen sacrificial wine..."

As for the Shenlu Courtyard, there is only one courthouse, and there are several for offering wine. Just like the saying in later generations, if the staff is not in charge, the fart will not make a sound.

Some people think that the word "staff officer" is a word that only comes from later generations, but in fact it is not. It existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. When it was placed in the army, it was called joining the army. Of course, Boss Cao changed its name and called it Jijiu. If it is in civil affairs, it is called staff officer, which is not the same as the pure military staff officer in later generations.

Zhongjie came to see Sima Yi specifically.

No one would be willing to be a foil or a transparent person in the officialdom, unless they have bad intentions or are frustrated.

Zhong Jie has been a little transparent for a long time.

At the beginning, Zhongjie was staring at the place under Wei Duan's butt. Because at the beginning, Zhongjie thought that Wei Duan, a simpleton, would soon make a mistake for something, and then be beaten to the end. Then Zhongjie could naturally become a court judge, right?

But unfortunately, Wei Duan is always dangling on the wall...

Zhong Jie couldn't wait any longer, and finally decided to compete for the Grand Sacrificial Wine of Shouyama Academy.

The position of the Academy's Grand Priest Liquor is actually similar to that of many principals of colleges and universities in later generations. Some are sincerely interested in learning, but most of them want to use the Academy's Grand Priest Liquor's springboard to obtain higher positions. …

Obviously, there is no competition for the position of Grand Priestess of the Academy. If there is nothing to show for it, I am afraid that it may not be a sure shot to win.

But does Zhongjie have any achievements that he can show off now?

Apparently not.

Therefore, Zhongjie felt that if there were any outstanding insights on the subject proposed by Fei Qian, he could get it directly in one step. After all, according to Zhongjie's current level, he can get some merits. If he is released at half a level, he will most likely be a prefect. After a few years of experience, he will be at least a serious Jiuqing when he comes back. Sangong There is hope.

But the problem is that Zhongjie doesn't know much about Tibet.

Well, strictly speaking, apart from scriptures, Zhongjie didn't know much about other outside information, so Zhongjie came to find Sima Yi as foreign aid.

When looking for Sima Yi, Zhongjie was carefully considered. The most important factor was that Sima Yi was not a competitor for the academy's grand ceremony.

On the other hand, Sima Yi is young.

Of course, it's not that Zhongjie is trying to bully Sima Yi because of his young age, but because of his age, Sima Yi's current position as Minister of Dali Temple is already beyond the normal standard. There is not much room for him to go higher, and the possibility is not high. That's why it was possible for Sima Yi to reach a deal with Zhong Jie.

Of course, there are other young people under the Hussar, but Zhongjie doesn’t have much friendship with them. Another thing is that most of those people also want to develop themselves, and they won’t really come up with any good ideas for Zhongjie. Jie as a stepping stone.

Zhongjie met Sima Yi and explained his purpose in a roundabout way.

Sima Yi then, like a very honest old farmer, pointed out a direction to Zhong Jie...

"Growing sacrificial wine..." Sima Yi frowned slightly, as if he had worked very hard to come up with a topic for discussion, "I have little talent and little knowledge. If I talk about it rashly, I'm afraid it will delay Brother Chan's important things..."

Zhongjie repeatedly expressed that even if Sima Yi spoke frankly, no matter whether it was successful or not, he would never forget that Sima Yi's great assistance was all due to Sima Yi's favor.

Sima Yi then said: "What Brother Zhong is thinking... is correct, but it's just that Brother Zhong may have some misunderstanding..."

Zhongjie frowned, "How do you say this?" 』

"Not to mention that I don't know much about this matter in the snow area, I'm afraid that not many of the Chang'an Third Assistants know it well. Why would Brother Zhong give up his strong points and take advantage of his weak points in this topic?" ” Sima Yi said slowly.

Zhongjie stroked his beard and nodded, "Then what Brother Xian means is..."

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Since the people from the snow area are here to obtain scriptures, according to the Lord's wish, this Taoist scripture will most likely be given... However, the Taoist scriptures are complicated and confusing, and which one should be given? Or how to organize it... I'm afraid no one in the Husband's office knows yet... After all, this Taoist scripture is no better than the three rites... If Brother Zhong can take the lead, list the current Taoist scriptures and mark the best ones. Inferior, isn’t it..."

Zhongjie had drafted some content about the Five Gods with Qiao Ting before, so this direction was a natural one for him.

Zhong Jie suddenly understood, and was immediately overjoyed. He bowed to Sima Yi, thanked him again, and then left happily.

Who in the Huqi government office doesn't know that Sima Yi is a warm-hearted person? Who doesn’t like colleagues who don’t shirk anything and don’t take credit for nothing? As for the eagle looking at the wolf, it's just a joke. Even if Sima Yi really has the habit of watching the wolf, how could he easily reveal it to Lao Cao?

At the same time, Sima Yi did not point to the wrong path, it was just a relatively ordinary path. As for the things that Sima Yi had been thinking about in his mind, how could he easily tell Zhong Jie?

If you want to learn from scriptures, you must naturally have Taoist scriptures.

But how to give the Taoist scriptures, and what content to give, must be somewhat particular.

Didn't Zhongjie want to compete for the Grand Ceremony of the Academy before? This issue of Taoist scriptures also happens to be a demonstration of Zhongjie's ability in scriptures. Doesn't it just complement each other?

So Zhongjie was very happy when he left.

Sima Yi looked at Zhong Jie's retreating figure, still with a slightly honest smile. After a while, he also left. He wanted to go back and perfect the real idea in his heart. Although it may not be possible to be directly promoted, it can at least show an attitude to Fei Qian.

In the Huqifu Yamen, people like Fei Qian basically have no serious concept of going to and from work. When you open your eyes, you are at work, and when you close your eyes, you are at get off work.

"This scripture belongs to the Qiang people!" Pang Tong pointed at the map of the snow area, "Be like the Xiqiang, focus on differentiation!" 』

The strategy proposed by Pang Tong was that a differentiation strategy should be adopted.

There are too many tribes in the Qiang tribe. If you seduce any one, you can implement this set of strategies. With trade support, the selected Qiang tribe can develop rapidly, and then suppress other tribes, and then become the Han's agent in the snow area.

According to the existing information, in the snow area, the Qiang tribes after the Warring States Period, such as Faqiang, Mitang and other tribes, migrated to the snow area, combined with the original indigenous people in the snow area, multiplied and developed, and formed Understand the current ecology of snow areas.

This is indeed true in history. The habits of the Qiang people are still greatly preserved in the snow areas of later generations. Even Songtsen Gampo is said to be one of the Qiang people, a descendant of the yak tribe.

This leaves a lot of room for maneuver, which is what Pang Tong said. This skill is actually used from the Han Dynasty to later generations, from China to foreign countries.

It is undoubtedly the most practical method. But Fei Qian still pondered and did not speak, because he felt that although Pang Tong's strategy was good, it still did not break out of the original framework...

According to what Pang Tong said, it is indeed easy to achieve the goal, but this is an old method.

It's not that the old methods don't work, but that what Fei Qian needs is a brand new path.

If we look at Pang Tong's "Qiang" strategy in reverse, why isn't China also trapped in it? War, reunification, and then there were differences within the "tribe". The differences could not be reconciled, so there was another civil strife. In the midst of dire straits, someone once again stood up to turn the tide...

Take the current county system of the Han Dynasty as an example. How could Fei Qian not know that it needs improvement? However, just to implement the "4321" official position system in Longyou and Longxi will require a large number of grassroots officials. Moreover, Longxi and Longyou are relatively large and sparsely populated, so the pressure of household registration is not that great. If you want to be in Sichuan, Shu and Hanzhong , or even be fully promoted under Fei Qian's rule, the number of officials needed will be a huge number.

Otherwise, during this New Year, why would Fei Qian have added scientific examinations before and after the New Year for many times in a row?

Many reformers in history have failed to achieve the prerequisites, or thought they had achieved them, and promoted policies regardless of the objective situation. In the end, they often had to reap the consequences.

"Shi Yuan," Fei Qian glanced at Pang Yi, and then said to him calmly, "There is nothing wrong with the idea... But, do you think that with Shi Yuan's ability, it should be better... So, what happened in the past two days? 』
