Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 776
After thinking and thinking, Wang Xiaolie said: "I've thought about it over and over again these days. Regarding political affairs, there should be a set of rules, otherwise the officials below often don't know what to do. But there is a principle, that is, complicated things cannot be simplified. .Once simplified, all kinds of demons and ghosts come out. Officials can do badly, but they can’t be allowed to do badly by their superiors. If they can’t do well, they can learn and be eliminated. Once the superiors allow them, they can’t do it.”

Chen Qiudao frowned: "I don't know what the meaning of Xuan Fu is? You have to explain it clearly to the subordinates, so that they can not mess things up."

Wang Xiaolie said: "In general, officials at the state level have a lot of power, and of course the ability requirements are also high. Basically, prefects are required to be able to handle political affairs independently, unless there are particularly important matters that cross the state and government. Handle it yourself. The county level is under the jurisdiction of the state, so the relative ability can be lowered. How to deal with it alone. In fact, everything in the world, including human affairs, has laws. It’s just that this law, generally speaking, is a statistical law .”

Chen Qiudao smiled wryly: "My subordinates don't quite understand statistics."

Wang Xiaolie said sincerely: "Consultant, if you don't understand statistics, you should work hard to learn it. It's not that there are no teachers, can you ask often. Before, I was not very proficient in statistics, I only knew a little Superficial. However, when I figured out that society is governed by statistical laws, I put in a lot of hard work. Up to now, I can’t say I’m very proficient, but I understand some basic knowledge.”

Statistics is very miraculous, so miraculous that humans have been able to use it proficiently, but they still don't understand the principle.

A thing shows a statistical law, what is the principle, people can't figure it out.Ordinarily, according to people's assumed independence, the latter should not be affected by the former.But in fact, the particles in the microcosm and the human society in the macrocosm are all affected by statistical laws.Thinking that I had broken free from the laws of statistics, after all, it was just an illusion, and in the end I found that I hadn't.

People only need to realize that they can apply the statistical laws of the material world, but the statistical laws of society are far from it.In it, it is often difficult for people to realize it, and it is even less useful.

In other words, statistical laws are very similar to human society.For statistical laws, everyone matters and everyone doesn't matter.The statistical law is more accurate when everyone is counted.And some people, in fact, do not count, and will not affect the statistical law.There are even some people who count him, and the statistical laws will become more chaotic.Regarding statistical laws, most people are pessimistic about what social status we are in.

Everyone looks very important, but in detail they seem insignificant.Perhaps, for human society, this is the case.

Who is Zhao Gou? For more than 1000 years, there are so many research materials, many people think they have got the answer, but how is it possible?To be precise, it was at the most critical moment for the Chinese nation that he plucked the strings and made the Lord and Harmony prevail.But why did he do it?There are no convincing answers.

Can Yue Fei's Northern Expedition succeed?All kinds of analysis are basically unreliable.Yue Fei commanded an army of [-]. As long as he won and reoccupied the Central Plains, it would be very beneficial to the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty.Even if you can't win, the situation of summing up will be better.

Yue Fei's army was deliberately cultivated by Zhao Gou, and it was a regular army of the Song Dynasty.According to the plan, Liu Guangshi's army should have been annexed, completed the transformation, and made the scattered and independent armies a whole.But at a critical moment, Zhao Gou changed his mind.This change of mind can be regarded as a harbinger.

In this era, Zhao Gou's attitude is a very important factor, so important that even Wang Xiaolie, who knows the result, is extremely cautious.Even though there are many materials, it is attributed to Zhao Gou's licentiousness and immorality, and it is attributed to Zhao Gou's greed for life and fear of death, and various reasons have been summed up.But there was no reason for Wang Xiaolie to be convinced.Because Zhao Gou's status was too important, Wang Xiaolie had to take it seriously.

Seeing Wang Xiaolie speak solemnly, Chen Qiudao cupped his hands: "Follow Xuanfu's order, I will study again."

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Get it, this matter is not only my own business, but also related to how we govern. It is often said that ministers use the Dao to assist the king, but no one can explain what the Dao is. I also said I don’t understand, but I know how to touch, to touch, and to learn. How to do it? Use statistical knowledge to know in detail what the world is like and what to do. In other words, I think that statistical knowledge is what we seek The method is the art of seeking the Tao.”

Chen Qiudao and Chen Yuyi were surprised.They clasped their hands together and said, "May Xuan Fu explain in detail."

Wang Xiaolie said: "One of the six arts of a gentleman is music. People in ancient times were not as complicated as we are. A qin and a harp, the music is not only pleasant to the ear, but also pure to the soul. In our era, it is pure entertainment. Not only the ears need to listen, but also the eyes to watch the girl dance. From this we can see how the world has changed like a cloud and a dog. The times are different, and if we talk about music, we can’t still be the harp.”

Music is the language of the universe, and it is far more than simply entertaining people's body and mind.It's just that time has changed, and it has become more and more vulgar, and this effect can no longer be manifested.I can't say whether it's good or bad, because the more people like it, the more people will listen to it.Only by going to the masses is real art.

Don't listen to what music critics say is elegant or vulgar.In fact, most music critics can't tell what is elegant and what is vulgar.

The real elegance, whether it is playing the piano, or the zither, whether it is singing, roaring, or shouting.When the sound is heard, the heaven and the earth tremble, even if there is your echo above the nine heavens, even if there is your voice under the nine springs.You haven't heard it, just because you haven't.

When Wang Xiaolie traveled to this world, his thoughts naturally changed.In the past, I was a staunch materialist and staunch atheist, and I didn’t even think about why. Maybe China’s education is like this.But since I have time-traveled, how can I still be firm in my materialism?

Perhaps, somewhere, there is a pair of eyes looking at him all the time.Everything about myself, actions and thoughts, are so clear in that place.

This kind of life, Wang Xiaolie's pursuit, of course, is not only to block the Jin army, but also to seek peace and prosperity for the country and the people.What he pursues should be the way of governing the country under the premise of "Tao".In other words, this is the way of heaven.

Dao, Wang Xiaolie feels that what people can't find, what they can't understand, is right in front of them.If you stretch out your hand, you may be able to touch it, so how can you give up willingly?This is not the knowledge learned before, you can forget what you learned before, and you can pick it up at any time.Whatever this doctrine or that trend of thought, Wang Xiaolie can give up here.Because I don't pursue those, I don't put myself under them, and I'm not their students.

What are those eyes?Not the emperor, not the sky, not the Buddha, nothing in the past, at least it belongs to oneself now.Sometimes, Wang Xiaolie even felt that many religions were born just because he felt those eyes, didn't know what it was and insisted that he knew it.

After being silent for a while, Wang Xiaolie said: "We need to re-understand the world with the laws of society, govern the world, and educate the world. The most important thing in politics is education. Only when it is governed can it be educated. Only when the rulers themselves conform to the content of education can they be educated. No. Talking about benevolence and morality, but actually full of male thieves and female prostitutes, how can he be educated? You can’t ask officials to put righteousness first, but in fact you are flattering yourself. If you don’t go down, who are you going to lie to? So, how to be an official and how to be a person must be clearly distinguished.”

Chen Qiudao and Chen Yuyi are both honest and modest officials, and they are also proud of this.Hearing what Wang Xiaolie said, he took it for granted.

Wang Xiaolie said: "People in the world often regard officials as their parents, and they are used to it. I don't think so. Officials can only be fathers, and mothers are not qualified. It is often said that a loving mother has a thread in her hand and a wandering child's clothes. What about officials like a furnace? Since the duty of an official is to manage, it is not appropriate to be a loving mother most of the time. If there is a father, there must be a mother, and it is considered life. Since there is a father, there should be a mother. Where can I find this mother? I hope In this way, this matter is handed over to Qu Fei. A few years ago in Xiangyang, a group of officials were called together to collect folk opinions and check the gains and losses of the government. Qu Fei called these people together, trained them more, and let them work hard. For you Each locality compiles a local chronicle, which remembers folk anecdotes and officials' gossip, which is separate from the official local chronicle that mainly records what officials say and do. In addition, you compile a special magazine to record things in various places for people to read. Comments and gossip. It is not easy to mark the official position in the magazine, to show the officials in power, so just give it another name. Think about the name of the magazine. The place in it is called Zixu Country, Wuyou Township, and so on. Officials govern, there are good and bad, You can’t shut up the people’s mouths, you have to let people talk about it, and let people comment on it. But what about officials? They also hide the name of the place to look good. If this thing is done well, you can be regarded as a mother. This system must be consistent with The officials are separated, but they are still officials. This is like a family with healthy parents, not just a family."

After finishing speaking, he said to Chen Qiudao: "Using these contents, coupled with the government's audit department, we can summarize the laws. Taking the heaven and the earth as Linyue, and the summarized laws as the strings, we can play a beautiful song. In this era, I hope it will be a good song.”

If someone can really compose a piece of music with the feeling of watching the government, then it can be called the sound of elegance.Whether this elegant sound can move the heavens and the earth, and spread throughout the nine heavens and the underworld, depends on whether these officials pay attention.
