I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 386 The Saint Certified by Lao Tzu

After King Zhou Jing became an ancient, all kinds of strange things began to appear in the Central Plains. I didn't expect that such big incidents would be exposed in the south.

Whether it's Chu's new leader, Yin Bai Gongsheng, who started to liquidate the separatist nobles, or Wu's canal project went wrong, in short, it is good news for Jin.

Among them, Lao Zhijia benefited the most.

Is not it?
The Zhi clan had just launched the second five-year plan. First, there was a thunderstorm in the Lu state, and it also caused frequent national riots and slave uprisings in other countries.

Later, situations also occurred in Chu State and Wu State, representing the two countries most likely to interrupt Zhishi's established plan, and they also got into their own troubles.

Looking at it that way, unless Zhishi himself is unwilling to be lonely, otherwise nothing can interrupt Zhishi's established development plan within three to five years.

In the middle of winter, a minister from the Zhou royal family suddenly came to "Xintian", accompanied by an envoy from the State of Qin.

"Huh? Seek peace?" Zhiyao's father is the 'Yuan Rong' of the Jin Kingdom, and the diplomatic relations will definitely be summarized.

That's right, the state of Qin asked the royal family of Zhou to act as an intermediary, and sincerely wanted to be soft on the state of Jin and end the repeated westward invasion of the Han family.

From Zhi's point of view, the old Han family's westward invasion could not be regarded as a success. On the contrary, they were repeatedly defeated by Qin.

But the Qin State, as the party involved, definitely didn't see it that way. They first lost [-] troops, and even the crown prince was captured. Later, when they were interrupted in the fight against the Han's invasion, they lost another [-] to [-] troops. Soldier.

The war took place on the border of the Qin State, and there were so many visible and invisible losses, Qin's monarchs and officials didn't have to be too good at accounting. Looking at the increasingly empty treasury, it was clear that the more they fought, the more uncomfortable it would be.

Zhishen coughed for a while, and then he recovered with a smile and said, "It's never wise to expose your weakness."

Just now when Zhiyao saw Zhishen coughing so badly, she really raised her heart.

Every winter, Zhishen will be like this, no matter how to prevent it, it will not work.

"My lord, I will be stationed in 'Puyang' next year so that I can supervise the construction of the underground palace." Zhiyao said.

If it weren't for the fact that Lao Zhi's family didn't have a fief that didn't snow, Zhi Yao would have wanted to keep Zhishen there for a long time.

"How can this be?" Zhishen knew that Zhiyao cared about him, but as a 'Yuanrong', there was no reason why he would not be in the capital for a long time.

Zhiyao laid out the facts and said: "My family moved the capital, why is there no adult to preside over it? Besides, apart from the oath, each will do his own thing, there is no national war, there is no national affairs."

It seems that the division of their respective expansion directions has made Zhishi, who holds the throne of "Yuanrong", a loss?Things can't just look at one side.

The family serving as "Yuan Rong" in Jin State not only takes advantage of it, but once a war breaks out, the family serving as "Yuan Rong" will send the most troops.This is called what you give, you have to get something. Whoever pays the most will get the most share, and it is not simply using official positions to oppress others.

It is the turn of each family to do their own affairs. Of course, the Zhi family has given up some power, and at the same time, it does not need to participate in the Western Expedition or the Southern Expedition. If anything happens, the Han family or the Wei family will be responsible for it, and the Zhi family can also concentrate on expanding eastward. Or expand north.

Because the position of "Yuan Rong" is still held by the old Zhi's family, there are preconditions to lift the table at any time, and it is justifiable to lift the table.

Under that kind of status quo, it can be seen at a glance who is at a disadvantage or who is taking advantage.

In the end, Zhishen still couldn't say that Zhiyao couldn't, so he could only accept the task of going to "Puyang" to sit in town next spring.

"Follow me." Zhishen said.

also.Anyway, Zhikai is already seven years old, it is indeed time to go out and see the world for a while.

Zhiyao's remaining descendants?They were born far away from their elder brother Zhikai, with an age difference of five years, and the eldest is currently two years and four months old.

Young children are not suitable for traveling far away, and they are even taboo to have a lot of hair blowing at ordinary times. The fear is that they will have a fever and catch a cold, which may lead to premature death under the current medical conditions.

By the way, hasn't Zhiyao started medical treatment yet?
The fact is that Lao Zhi's family is leading the world in the treatment of trauma. As long as he is not dead, even intestines can be sutured, but the progress in medicine is very slow.

It's not that Zhiyao doesn't pay attention to the development of drugs, and even makes repeated orders. The reality is that some businesses can't be quickly promoted by administrative orders.

There is no complicated factor for the rapid development of medical methods using knives, it is simply that there are too many materials.

Can it be less?

After a great war, hundreds of thousands of people were injured on both sides. The wounds that did not hurt the internal organs were stitched. If you do too much, you will always be familiar with it. experienced.

In winter, most people enter the stage of doing nothing.

If conditions permit, some people will read books by the stove to absorb the nutrition brought by knowledge in a timely manner.

On this day, Zhiyao was chatting with Laozi, mainly listening to Laozi talk about some of his theories.

Lao Tzu is actually a very dark person, advocating governance by doing nothing, and advocating doing everything. At the same time, he extremely pursues the ecology of a small country with few people.

What kind of ecology is a small state with few people?In the modern way of understanding, it is probably that each of them lives their own little life, and they can live without intercourse without disturbing each other.Simply summed up as a circular economy for small farmers, everything pursues self-sufficiency, and believes that only in this way can wars be eliminated.

From a military point of view, Lao Tzu advocates the concept of "passive counterattack", that is, not to pursue active expansion. Once someone provokes, he either does not fight, and kills the opponent completely once he hits, which also involves "planning before acting". idea.

What needs to be admitted is that Zhiyao used a lot of Lao Tzu's ideas when plotting Qi, but he definitely would not agree with the idea of ​​"a small country with few people".

If you really do that, if you look at the Western Han Dynasty, it will be generally clear that there will definitely be various big bosses in various places, among which Guo Xie is one of the best, and it is also a negative example.

According to Zhiyao's understanding, Lao Tzu's proposition for people's livelihood tends to be more targeted control, and the official will not end by himself, supporting one or more spokespersons to lead the local development is also to kill fat at any time.Is this set familiar?This is how many dynasties play.

The propositions put forward in the Spring and Autumn Period can still be used for a long time, and the various theories of the Warring States Period are even more so. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period can be regarded as an era of theoretical explosion.

What Zhiyao has always been curious about is that Lao Tzu didn’t do any special health maintenance. He just had a regular schedule. He drank as much as he should, and ate as much as he could.

They were talking about Qin, mainly because Zhiyao was curious about why Lao Tzu had to go west. Before, Lao Tzu didn't give Zhiyao an answer, but today he wanted to.

According to Lao Tzu, the state of Qin is already gradually turning into a barbarian, and someone needs to bring it back to civilization again.

"..." Zhiyao couldn't believe the answer she heard.

Qin Guo is indeed trying to transform into a fool!That is because they have merged too many foreign races, and their own number is not enough to dilute the incoming foreign races, so that the people of Qin are biased by the foreign races. Their living habits and eating habits, as well as their three views and thinking are biased towards Hu Hua .

Zhiyao asked: "How does sir bring the people of Qin back to civilization?"

Lao Tzu said with a smile: "Give me a book."

Well, there is really nothing more suitable than bringing some books to Qin. If Lao Tzu goes there, he can connect with Qin Jun, give books and educate people at the same time, and accumulate enough reputation before admonishing Qin Jun and his ministers. It can make Qin's monarchs and ministers realize the seriousness of their Huhua.

In the original history, did Lao Tzu enter Qin?Anyway, the records about Lao Tzu disappeared after leaving Hangu Pass.

In this historical version, it is clear that Lao Tzu has not completely cut off the idea of ​​going west, but many things on Zhishi's side are too attractive to Lao Tzu, and he wants to participate or witness, but has been delayed.

Seeing Taihu appearing, Zhiyao knew that it was Han Geng.

Han Geng had already made an appointment with Zhiyao, and it was a surprise that Lao Tzu came here.

"Come here for Qin's affairs?" Lao Tzu got the answer and stood up slowly to leave.

Zhiyao respects Lao Tzu's knowledge and age, so he must send it outside.

It just so happened that Han Geng came over and bumped into Lao Tzu head-on... It wasn't a physical collision, but just facing each other.

Han Geng took the lead in saluting and greeting very politely.

To be reasonable, Lao Tzu is 96 years old this year, and he is auspicious, not to mention that he is so knowledgeable, Han Geng should show respect.

Han Geng looked at Lao Tzu's far away back, and said, "Here, he is a great virtue, and he is also a sage!"

Needless to say?

It’s just that Lao Tzu silently wrote so many collections of the Zhou royal family in the Zhi family, and the rest of the family is so envious that the wall is separated, and even Lao Tzu still left his own works in the Zhi family, let alone participated in the various constructions of the Zhi family. bingo.

Among them, during the period when Zhiyao "created" simplified characters, Lao Tzu participated, which can be regarded as an endorsement to some extent.

What Zhiyao is doing is copying, but I don't think so.

In Lao Tzu's view, Zhiyao is creating characters, combined with Zhiyao's papermaking and printing techniques, and I directly assert that no matter what Zhiyao has done, or will not do anything in the future, people in future generations must use Zhiyao Treat it like a saint.

Zhiyao has different opinions on this point. It is not recorded in the history books who the inventors of papermaking and printing are. Even Cai Lun and Bi Sheng are only considered to have improved on the basis of previous generations.And these two were not immediately sanctified.

Zhiyao waited for Han Geng to sit down before taking the initiative to ask: "Are you here for the matter mentioned by the Qin envoy?"

Do you know who the Qin envoy is?His name is Liu Yang, that is, the Liu family, one of the Xiaozong of the Fan family, but the Liu family developed in Qin State.

According to records, Liu Yang is the eighteenth ancestor of Liu Bang.

Of course, he is not called Liu Yang now, nor is he the Liu family, because he got a new fief in Qin State and changed it to the Concubine Zhong family, and he took the name "Wen", so he should be called Concubine Zhongwen, or Concubine Zhongjuan.

Interestingly, his son's name is Shi Yun.It is equivalent to saying that he is very brooding about the demise of the old Fan family.

Han Geng nodded.

Before Han Geng wanted to say anything, Zhiyao spoke first...
