Han Dao world

He may no longer be high-spirited, but he is still an ambitious partyman, even more determined and more hopeful.

"Brother, if you don't see the mountains, you don't know how humble you are. If you don't see the big rivers, you don't know how narrow you are. Go to Chang'an. Once you see the mountains and rivers, you will become humble."

Xun Chen frowned slightly, but was too late to speak.

-

In a blink of an eye, the three of Xu Jing published seven or eight articles, and the issues discussed became more and more in-depth, and even tended to become more academic.

There are some subtle words, even Liu Xie can't understand them.

This is obviously not the result Liu Xie wanted.

Just when he was considering how to adjust the direction of the discussion, Liang Xiangcheng Yu came up and introduced Huang Yi's deeds in organizing flood control in Liang State, using his spare time on the construction site to teach soldiers and common people to read, and taking advantage of the trend to promote Dutian's deeds.

After reading it, Liu Xie was in the middle of his heart, and immediately asked someone to write an article, sent it to Yinfang, and asked for typesetting and distribution.

The topic is straightforward, even a little shallow.

Who is Min?

The article raised the question clearly at the beginning: Who does the "people" in "not competing with the people" refer to?Who are the people, and who are competing with the people?

The article is not long, but the questions are sharp.

After the article was sent to the bookstore, Xu Jing, who was in charge of reviewing the manuscript, encountered difficulties at that time.

Will this article be published?

This question is easy to answer.The bookstores were all built under the instruction of the emperor. The emperor let them speak freely, but you don't let the emperor speak. How can there be such a reason.

After that, what will be the impact?

It's not hard to guess.This is not a difficult problem in the first place, but the vast majority of people did not understand this before and had no chance to speak out, but there are very few people who really understand this problem and are willing to speak out for them.

As the main body of the people, the common people have always been the silent majority.Even if the imperial court has any edicts to benefit the people, they can't understand them, and they can only listen to the explanations of officials and wealthy people.

But the situation is different now. I dare not say it in other places. At least there are many literate people in Guanzhong and Hedong.I dare not say that everyone can read and write, but you can always find a few who can read and write within a mile.

If there are children under the age of ten at home, you can even solve the problem of reading at home.

As long as the article is written plainly, without so many uncommon words and too many allusions.

In order to reduce costs and increase the speed of printing, it is a basic requirement that the articles published by Di Bao should not be too esoteric, otherwise the corresponding fonts will not be found, and they will not be printed at all.

And this article is written in a particularly plain language, almost all in vernacular, but anyone who has read the book for a year can read it through.Once published, it will be easier to spread than the articles of Xu Jing and the others, and the impact will naturally be greater.

All three of them are veterans of the debate, so they naturally know the pros and cons.

Lai Min was furious, and bluntly said that this article has ulterior motives and can be punished, which is exactly the same as when Zhang Jiao used the "Taiping Jing" to confuse the people.Once this article is published, it may trigger a civil uprising.

Therefore, it cannot be posted.

This is of course outrageous.

Although the article was not signed, no one knew that it was ordered by the emperor.If you don't send it, believe it or not, the emperor will withdraw the three of us tomorrow and replace us with obedient people?

At that time, I am afraid that we will lose the opportunity to speak out.

After all, although we can write articles, we can't print them.

After much deliberation, Lai Min came up with a solution.At the same time as publishing this article, they also wrote several articles to discuss the origin of the concept of people and to hedge against it.

It's okay for me to conduct academic discussions.

Although he thought it was of little significance, Xu Jing still accepted Lai Min's suggestion, and the task was handed over to Lai Min as a matter of course.

On the third day, the fresh Di Bao was issued with two articles.

One is the unsigned "Who is the People?" ", one is Lai Min's "On the Righteous Change of the People".

On the day the residence newspaper was issued, it became a lively topic in Taixue.

In contrast, Lai Min's articles are more academic and more popular with students from all over the world.They expressed their admiration for Lai Min one after another. It is not easy to use such plain words, quote scriptures, and clearly explain the changes of the word Min from ancient to modern times.

After clarifying the similarities and differences between ancient and modern meanings of this word, some problems encountered in reading can be easily solved, and some seemingly contradictory meanings of the scriptures can be explained reasonably.

"Who is the people?" "The influence of this article is far less than that. First, the language is too straightforward and not elegant enough.The second is that there is no academic content. The whole article is just a simple division of the scope of the people, and it is divided into different versions according to different standards.

I know all of this, what do you need to say?

There were also people who were worried about this article and felt that they were causing trouble on purpose, but their voices were too low and were quickly drowned out.

However, with the expansion of the scope of publication of the Di Bao, the situation quickly reversed.

First in Jingzhao, and then quickly expanded to Fufeng and Feng Yi.After reading this article, many ordinary people naturally asked a question.

How many people are common people and poor people, how many people are wealthy people and rich people, which one am I?And who is competing with me?

First of all, let’s get rid of one point. Now it is said that it is the emperor who is fighting for the interests of the people, and no one believes it at all.

Not to mention the frugal life of the emperor, even the palace was reluctant to build, and the queen and nobles were all crowded in one palace.Even if the emperor's life is better, how much can he eat and use by himself?

Most of the consumption of the imperial court is from officials at all levels. In terms of numbers alone, their number is hundreds of times larger than that of the emperor's family.

Then there are the rich and rich people in the countryside that many people have the most contact with. These people rely on their family background or someone in the court to occupy a large amount of land, resist the imperial court to save the land, but refuse to pay the taxes they should pay. transferred to the heads of ordinary people.

These people are not only more numerous, but also very close, which are real examples.

So, here comes the question, who is shouting the slogan "Don't compete with the people for profit", but speaks out for these people who compete with the people for profit, and strongly opposes the imperial court's land saving?

Chapter 755 Hanyang New Deal

Hanyang.

Sitting on the hillside with open arms, Mi Heng chatted with a few herdsmen.Several children ran wildly aside, and their cheerful laughter echoed in the valley.A young Qiang girl sat aside, twisting the oxtail in her hand, listening to Mi Heng and the others chatting, and peeking at Mi Heng from time to time.

At Mi Heng's feet is a copy of the residence newspaper that has just been received, with a bold headline printed on it.

Who is Min?

"Your Majesty, don't you Kandong scholars really not be poor people?" A young Qiang man scratched his head in disbelief.

Mi Heng corrected: "It's just that you don't treat them as people, but you don't treat them as people."

The Qiang boy let out an "oh", showing a hint of doubt. "Isn't this person and the people the same thing? Aren't the poor the poor, and the poor are the poor? If you have to make these distinctions so clearly, are you scholars in the Kanto region full and have nothing to do?"

"Shut up!" Qiang Nu yelled, "Don't talk to Your Lord like this."

The boy laughed twice and stood up. "Mr. You, I don't study much, and I don't understand the difference between people and people. I only know that it is good to save the land. You see, Mr. Yang is in Hanyang to save the land. My family has its own pasture. Every day is good. My sister wants to give You weave dust tails, and you have the best oxtails to use. I can also save money, and I can marry a wife and have children in a few years. These are all given by the emperor's edict. If the emperor wants to send troops to conquer Kanto, I will be the first Sign up."

"Okay, okay, shut your mouth and go to see the sheep." Qiang girl scolded.

"Understood." The young man blinked his eyes, bowed to Mi Heng, jumped on the horse beside him, and galloped away.

He sang a Qiang ballad, an ancient song praising the ancestor of the Qiang people, Emperor Yan, high-pitched and passionate.

Several other Qiang people also got up one after another, said goodbye to Mi Heng, caught up with the young man, and joined the chorus.

"When the sky is infinite, there is Kunlun, and when you climb Kunlun, you can see the Queen Mother..."

"The queen mother gave me my son, and I regard my son as king..."

"Children are kings and caress all the people, and all the people are restless and the mountains are full..."

Mi Heng looked at the graceful figure going away, but what the boy said echoed in his ears.

If the emperor sends troops to conquer Kanto, I will be the first to apply.

He knew very well that this was not empty talk, nor was it the first time he had heard it.As far as Hanyang is concerned, the people who got the land, regardless of Han and Qiang, are grateful to the court from the bottom of their hearts.

If anyone opposes Dutian, they are their enemies, and they will not hesitate to take up arms and gather under the banner of the Son of Heaven.

Compared with the current Bingliang army, these growing teenagers are more loyal to the emperor.When mentioning the Son of Heaven, the gleam in their eyes does not lie.

Many people even compare the Son of Heaven with the legendary Chizi, thinking that this is the king given to them by the gods.

When Shandong scholar-bureaucrats were fighting with the imperial court, the people of Liangzhou had already stood firmly on the side of the emperor.As long as the emperor issued an edict, tens of thousands of young people in Liangzhou would go out on horseback.

It's just that many literati and bureaucrats don't know this. They think they still have a chance to compete with the emperor, but they don't know that they are sitting on a firewood pile and playing with fire.

Many of them have never been to Liangzhou, so they don't know what has changed in Liangzhou in recent years.

Mi Heng let out a long sigh, stood up, and patted the ashes on his buttocks.

"Your Majesty, are you leaving?" Qiang Nu speeded up, tied the last few strings, tied the knots, and bit the ends of the strings with her snow-white teeth.

She stood up and handed the dust tail that had just been completed to Mi Heng. "There is nothing to give away, this dust tail is for you, to drive away mosquitoes."

Mi Heng took it and shook it lightly. "Thank you, Shaojun, I will take this dust tail to Chang'an to drive away all those buzzing mosquitoes."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Qiang Nu's eyes, and she forced a smile and said, "Then I wish you a smooth journey and success."

"Thank you." Mi Heng returned the gift, turned over and jumped on the mount, shook the reins, and galloped away.

Qiang girl looked at his back, sighed faintly, bent down and picked up the mansion newspaper on the ground, and read it word by word.

"Who are the people?"

-

Back at the prefect's mansion, Mi Heng got off his horse and threw the reins to the guards who came up.

"Is the prince here?"

"Here, let Yi Yi go to see him when he comes back."

Mi Heng had already stepped up the steps, and when he heard this sentence, he turned back again. "What happened?"

"It's nothing. The officials of the counties have arrived and are reporting inside. The Fujun wants you to listen together."

"So fast?" You Heng was surprised.

Usually, the counting does not start until the end of August, and the counties generally do not start until late September or even mid-October.It's not even August yet, how could there be any tricks?

Mi Heng walked in while guessing.

The plan in advance may be related to the situation in Chang'an.In order to prove that Dutian is beneficial and support the court's decision, it is entirely possible for Yang Xiu to choose to plan ahead of time.

Walking quickly to the atrium, Mi Heng saw a middle-aged official speaking in a very fierce tone.

"At the beginning, the government made a clear order that no matter Han and Qiang, as long as they can meet the standards, their children can be given priority in admission. Then I can't figure it out. Now that every county has to establish a county school, why should I arrange it at the end? It's me Bin Dao is the farthest from the county government, or is it because there are few Han people in Bi Dao, and the Qiang people are not counted as people?"

The county magistrate Wang Wei who was facing him quickly stood up, waved his hand and said: "Ziwen, you are serious, don't think so. The prefect's mansion definitely does not have such thoughts, the mansion does not, and neither do we. Han and Qiang are one , this is a national policy appointed by the emperor, and no one dares to violate it. Besides, Hanyang has implemented the new policy for two years, and the people of Han and Qiang get along harmoniously. There are fewer fights and more intermarriages. If there is a difference, isn’t it going against the trend?”

The middle-aged officials refused to give up and interrupted Wang Wei directly. "Then tell me, why can't my county school be established for so long?"

"The speed of county school construction is related to money and food. Without money and food, there will not be enough teachers, and it will not be possible to enroll all the children. Ji County is built fast because the families in Ji County are willing to pay. Warriors are built fast because With the support of Muyuan, you can afford Mr. No one in your village is willing to pay, so you just wait for the county to pay, which is naturally slower. It’s not that the county refuses to send teachers, it’s the teachers who refuse to go.”

The middle-aged official stared. "Why don't I have any money? Is it because the general emptied out my Tao when he conquered Song Jian? Now that Song Jian has given the title, the general is transferred to the Kanto. The governor's office doesn't recognize it, and the prefect's office doesn't recognize it. I can carry it on my own.”

Wang Wei spread his arms, feeling helpless. "This order was not issued by the prefect's office. There is no reason for the county to bear it."

"Then I don't care." The middle-aged official flicked his sleeves. "My task this time is to build the county school before the end of the year, and I will be able to enroll in the spring of next year. The prefect's mansion doesn't care, so I will go to Chang'an, file an imperial petition, and ask the emperor to send some doctors."

Wang Wei turned to Yang Xiu helplessly.

Just as Yang Xiu was about to speak, when he saw Mi Heng coming in, he beckoned and called Mi Heng to his side.Mi Heng took his seat and moved closer to Yang Xiu.

"Who is this, so reckless?"

"Pang Rou, Pang Ziwen." Yang Xiu said in a low voice, "Zhengping, help me, how about going to Bindao to be a teacher for a year?"

Chapter 756

Mi Heng was taken aback. "Your Majesty, I want to go to Chang'an to discuss Taoism."

"It's not a conflict. You go to Chang'an to discuss Taoism first, and then go to Bin Taoism to be a teacher after you come back. It's going to be winter soon, and it's impossible to let them gather together to study."

Mi Heng hesitated a little.

Yang Xiu said again: "You have been in Hanyang for more than half a year, and you are familiar with the New Deal. Wouldn't it be better to go to Bindao to investigate? Compared with Hanyang, Bindao is poorer and needs the participation of people with lofty ideals."

Mi Heng glanced at Yang Xiu and nodded.

Yang Xiu smiled, straightened up, and clapped his hands. "Okay, Pang Ziwen, you don't need to sue. I just found a teacher for you. You Heng and You Zhengping, famous scholars in Qingzhou, are not only academically profound, but also keep pace with the times. He once argued with the emperor, and he is well versed The purpose of the New Deal. If he goes to teach in Bindao, he will definitely be able to cultivate a group of outstanding people."

When Mi Heng came to the hall, Pang Rou saw him, saw that he was wearing a short jacket, but holding a dust tail in his hand, and thought it was some petty official who had just returned from a business trip.Hearing that Yang Xiu said it was Mi Heng, a famous scholar in Qingzhou, he couldn't help being surprised.

Although he is not in Ji County, he has heard of Mi Heng's name, knowing that after he came to Hanyang, he had many arguments with Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu's knowledge is recognized as good, being able to argue with Yang Xiu is enough to show that Mi Heng's knowledge is not bad.

"Really?" Pang Rou stood up.
