Mi Han

Chapter 183
It's just that although there was agreement in his heart, Zhuge Liang didn't show any abnormality on his face.

Zhuge Liang looked at Mi Yang and said, "Since Zisheng has this opinion, is there a corresponding strategy?"

Zhuge Liang's tone was very ordinary, making Mi Yang a little confused about Zhuge Liang's thoughts.

His remarks just now, in addition to drawing on the understanding of the great virtuous ministers of the past dynasties, also added his own views.

It is undeniable that the great Han died due to land annexation and the growth of local wealthy families.

But this is the cause, not the root.

Land annexation and local tyranny are important reasons for the demise of all dynasties.

However, the root cause of land mergers and the continuous growth of local tyrants lies in the small-scale peasant economy.

The direct reason lies in the imperfection of the feudal system and the weakness of the imperial court.

This kind of root is in feudal society and cannot be easily changed.

At present, this point is not suitable to be mentioned in front of Zhuge Liang.

So we can only start with the direct cause.

As long as the imperial court can take action and adopt corresponding systems to suppress and attack in different periods, then this situation can be improved.

As long as the basic life of the people is maintained, the basic stability of the society can be guaranteed.

For example, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the reason why he was able to bring the great Han to its heyday was that he was well aware of the sufferings of the people.

After he gained real power, he began to make drastic reforms. One of the cores was to rectify the administration of officials, and the other was to crack down on tyrants and suppress land annexation.

With his efforts, the Han Dynasty was finally pushed to its peak.

Most of the Zhongxing in the past dynasties relied on these two methods.

As for his successor, Emperor Han Yuan, he is not necessarily a bad emperor in terms of character.

But what he did after he came to power was almost the opposite of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

He even abolished the "Lingqian" system, the unique trick used by the emperors of the Han Dynasty to control the local tyrants, and finally brought the Western Han Dynasty into the abyss of extinction, gone forever.

Not more than 30 years before and after.

The role that the system can play is very large, and those in power who are responsible for creating and improving the system must assume corresponding responsibilities and roles.

Although he didn't know whether Zhuge Liang agreed with his idea, Mi Yang continued to say to Zhuge Liang: "Because you can see the reason for his loss of morality, so you can get a countermeasure.

Yang believes that the most urgent task is to get rid of the root cause.

First of all, the imperial court should recruit talented people to assist the government, and dismiss the incompetent and treacherous ones to rectify the current situation.Once the imperial court is stabilized, it will release policies to benefit the people, and use kindness and credit to win the hearts of the world.

In order to achieve this, there must be three steps: respectively, rewards and punishments are clearly defined to make the people do their best, frugal spending is used to enrich the treasury, and taxes are thinly collected to make the people rich.

When the national treasury is full, the armaments are sufficient, and the people's hearts are full, you can raise your troops to fight.

If the people of the enemy country know that our government is clear and clear, that the top and bottom are united, the national strength is strong, and the people are happy, they will definitely have expectations for our country.

If the heart of expectation is together, it will surely take the momentum of the enemy's country.

With this general trend, people who are familiar with the national conditions of the enemy country will act as spies for our country.

Those who are familiar with the terrain of the enemy's mountains and rivers will become our guides in attacking the enemy's country.

If the people of the north and the people of our country have the same mind, it is the will of God.

Use real benefits to arouse the hearts of the people in the world to miss the Han Dynasty, and when the king raises his troops to the north, he will be invincible. "

In Mi Yang's view, the so-called "everyone in the world thinks of Han" is more like a political slogan, but since this political slogan exists, there is a reason for its existence.

Just like in history, when Cao Wei and Sima Jin were in the Chan Dynasty, celebrities in the society praised them out of selfishness, thinking that a prosperous age was coming.

Then came Shenzhou Luchen, and an even bigger disaster came.

After the disaster, the whole society knew the goodness of the big man, and they began to think about the man.

Even when many foreign races established regimes, in order to win over people's hearts, they all used Han as the country's name one after another, and until the end, the country's name of Han was used to death.

So sometimes, the revival of the Han Dynasty can be used not only as a slogan, but also as a great weapon to win people's hearts.

After all, the Han Dynasty has been in the world for 400 years, and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But in order to achieve this, strategically speaking, it is necessary to first govern the people under the rule of King Hanzhong, so that the powerful national power can be passed on to the enemy country.

Under such circumstances, with the help of the "Han" character banner that was originally deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the world, it will achieve twice the result with half the effort during the Northern Expedition.

For example, the great turmoil in the Central Plains caused by Guan Yu's flooding of the Seventh Army before, such as Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition in history, when the three counties in the northwest surrendered without a fight.

After Mi Yang continued to express his opinion, a smile gradually appeared on Zhuge Liang's face.

This is the first time for Mi Yang to express his views on the chaos in the world in front of the world. It cannot be said that what Mi Yang said is the golden rule, but it is really rare for Mi Yang to have such opinions at this age.

Most importantly, what Mi Yang said coincides with Zhuge Liang's inner thoughts.

In the famous "Longzhong Dui", Zhuge Liang once put forward a similar view.

And when he presided over the state affairs in history, he also did what Mi Yang said today.

After listening to Mi Yang's opinion, Zhuge Liang's sense of Mi Yang began to change.

Mi Yangren is filial and loyal, but there are many people with better moral character than him.

Mi Yang's victory in the Public Security War is very eye-catching and admirable.

But this does not mean that Mi Yang is the only famous general in the world. With Mi Yang, Liu Bei can rest easy from now on.

In the contest between countries, the victory or defeat often depends not on one person, but on the comparison of all aspects.

What Zhuge Liang prefers is a military and political minister who can govern the world, and a partner who can work with him to calm the troubled times in the world.

And pacifying the world cannot rely solely on martial arts, but also has a long-term vision.

Mi Yang's insights tonight were not enough to shock Zhuge Liang into a man of heaven and be cited as a standard, but Zhuge Liang saw a kind of hope in Mi Yang.

Mi Yang is only 21 this year.

Zhuge Liang is 40 years old this year. If everything goes well, he can only assist the big man for another 30 years at most.

But the big man in the future will have new virtuous ministers to take care of him, and new virtuous ministers will inherit his mantle and continue to guard the great man.

In the past, Zhuge Liang put most of this expectation on Ma Di and Jiang Wan, but Mi Yang's performance tonight made him have a third candidate in his mind.

Zhuge Liang's eyes shone with joy, and his face was no longer as calm as before, but showed praise.

Zhuge Liang looked at Mi Yang and said: "You speak very well. Although there are some omissions in your opinion, it is very rare for you to have such an opinion at this age."

Compared to Ma Di, Mi Yang's answer was more in line with Zhuge Liang's wishes.

Zhuge Liang felt that he had been a little negligent in the past.

Since it fits, Zhuge Liang is naturally not hesitate to give advice to Mi Yang.

Zhuge Liang did not immediately answer Mi Yang's question about the way of governing, but first asked Mi Yang: "Does Zicheng know what military power is?"

Zhuge Liang's words already had the meaning of teaching, so Mi Yang couldn't fail to hear it.

He bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "I hope Mr. Teach me."

Mi Yang's attitude towards asking for advice is very good.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang's expression of satisfaction grew stronger, and he said to Mi Yang: "The man who has the power over soldiers is the commanding officer of the three armies, and the prestige of the general.

The general will be able to hold the power of the army, and use the momentum of the army to face the crowd, like a tiger, with wings and soaring all over the world, and do whatever it encounters.

If you lose power and don't use your power, you are like a fish and a dragon fleeing the rivers and lakes, wanting to swim in the ocean, rushing to play with the waves, how can you get it. "

"In troubled times, people's hearts are unpredictable. If you want to govern, you must first have military power in your hands. With military power in your hands, Zicheng can only govern after he arrives in Hanxing County. Zicheng must remember this point."

Mi Yang listened to this and nodded.

After Mi Yang nodded, Zhuge Liang continued to teach: "The world has the art of governance, which is complicated and chaotic, and it is not determined."

"Wang Hua's administration is suitable for overall and long-term governance, and it is vast when used to deal with specific affairs;

Tactical policy is suitable for helping those in need, and it will not have a significant effect in a stable and peaceful situation;

The government of hyperbole is suitable for correcting the trend of extravagance and degeneration. Relying on it to govern a country that is already ill and blind will only make it worse;
Public government is suitable for correcting the evil forces in the court, relying on it to govern the unhealthy trends outside the central government will easily lose the people;
Powerful government is suitable for fighting civil strife, and it would be cruel to govern the people in peacetime by it;

Skilled government is suitable for developing the economy, enriching the country and strengthening the people, and solving poverty and weakness, but if it is too important, it will only waste the people and waste money, and increase the hardships of the people. "

At this time, outside the lobby, Huang Yueying came to the entrance of the lobby with some snacks.

But just as she was about to step into the hall, she saw Zhuge Liang embracing his knees.

Seeing this scene, a look of surprise appeared on Huang Yueying's face.

Since she entered Yizhou, she hadn't seen Zhuge Liang's behavior for a long time.

Huang Yueying looked at Mi Yang who was opposite Zhuge Liang again, she had a smile on her face, and then in order not to disturb the two of them, Huang Yueying quietly exited the lobby again.

Blessed is Zisheng.

Mi Yang was almost fascinated by Zhuge Liang's political skills.

Mi Yang has read many classics since he was a child, and has heard many political talents talk about politics, but this is the first time Mi Yang has heard of Zhuge Liang's political skills that analyze all aspects.

This is the political experience and wisdom from a great statesman!

When he was fascinated, Mi Yang was also moved in his heart.

Zhuge Liang selflessly told him his political experience and wisdom. This is preaching and resolving doubts!
After listening to what Zhuge Liang said, it took Mi Yang a while to fully digest the knowledge Zhuge Liang had imparted.

Zhuge Liang looked at the thoughtful look on Mi Yang's face, and he didn't bother, just waiting for Mi Yang quietly.

After Mi Yang finished digesting, he immediately asked Zhuge Liang:

"Master Ge, the above are the techniques of governing politics, what about the way of governing?"

Facing Mi Yang's inquiry, Zhuge Liang fetched a brush from the desk, and then slowly wrote a sentence on the desk.

"The people are the foundation of the state, and the foundation is solid and the state is peaceful."

These eight characters written by Zhuge Liang come from "Shangshu".

The meaning of this sentence is: the people are the foundation of the country, the foundation is solid, the country can be stable.

Zhuge Liang loved calligraphy when he was young. After years of unremitting practice, Zhuge Liang is also a famous contemporary calligrapher.

The eight characters he currently writes are still graceful, like flying dragons and phoenixes.

And these eight characters fell into Mi Yang's eyes under the candlelight, because of Zhuge Liang's beautiful handwriting and the meanings represented by these eight characters, Mi Yang read it with a special charm.

"Shangshu" is one of the must-read scriptures for Confucian disciples. Many Confucian scholars probably know these eight characters, but how many Confucian scholars still remember these eight characters?

Undoubtedly, Zhuge Liang was one of the few Confucian scholars who remembered, and now Zhuge Liang also wants Mi Yang to remember this sentence.

After writing this sentence, Zhuge Liang finally said to Mi Yang earnestly and earnestly: "What I said just now are all appropriate methods of governing power for a specific situation, and they are not the fundamental way of governing."

"What is Tao? Tao is fundamental."

"And the foundation of governance is to respect the people. If the people are safe, the world will be safe."

"If you want to achieve great governance, you must always have a heart that is worried about the people in the world, and then choose the appropriate governance techniques to govern according to the actual situation."

"The art of governance can be changed according to the actual situation, but the way of governance must not be forgotten, otherwise it will be too slanted, and in the end it will backfire and cause chaos."

"Zicheng, promise me, you must always remember the eight words that the people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is solid and the state is peaceful, and use these eight words to alert yourself at all times!"

When Zhuge Liang said the last sentence, his tone was extremely serious, and Mi Yang also realized Zhuge Liang's solemnity.

He immediately got up from his seat, then knelt down in front of Zhuge Liang, and promised in his mouth: "Master Ge taught me tonight, Yang will never forget a single word."

Under the gloomy and flickering candlelight, a group of students prostrated themselves in front of an elder with a solemn face.

This kind of picture is very similar to the picture handed down from the pre-Qin period, where the ancient sages taught their disciples.

And this picture fell deeply in the eyes of Huang Yueying who was outside the door.

After teaching Mi Yang, Zhuge Liang saw that it was getting late and asked Mi Yang to return home earlier.

When Mi Yang got up to leave, Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang just noticed Huang Yueying standing outside the door.

After Mi Yang bowed to Huang Yueying, he left the lobby slowly.

It's just that when Mi Yang left, Huang Yueying stuffed a few pieces of snacks into Mi Yang's hand.

This is the kindness from the teacher's wife.

After Mi Yang left, Huang Yueying came to Zhuge Liang's side.

At this time, Zhuge Liang had come to a sword stand in the hall, and a precious sword was placed on the sword stand.

There are records in later generations: In the first year of Zhang Wu, Liu Bei mined iron ore in Jinniu Mountain, and invited famous craftsmen in Sichuan to cast eight swords.

One was worn by Liu Bei himself, and the other seven were given to Liu Chan, Liu Yong, Liu Li, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun.

Liu Bei gave each sword a nice name, and asked Zhuge Liang to inscription on the sword.

But in fact, this incident happened in the 24th year of Jian'an. After all, Guan Yu had passed away in the first year of Zhang Wu.

The sword that Zhuge Liang is looking at now is the sword that Liu Bei rewarded him back then.

This sword is named Shendu.

What is meant by being cautious and independent means that sincerity is in the middle and appearance is external, so a gentleman must be careful about his independence.

After watching, Zhuge Liang picked up the treasured sword and pulled the sword body out of the scabbard. After a sword sound, a sharp sword had appeared in front of Zhuge Liang's eyes.

A faint cold light circulated on the sword, Zhuge Liang looked at Shen Dujian in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

Huang Yueying watched Zhuge Liang staring at the blade of the sword, and asked, "Does your husband have the heart to accept disciples?"

Knowing husband Mo Ruo's wife, hearing Huang Yueying's words, a smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's face.

"Zisheng is indeed a good candidate."

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Huang Yueying asked: "Then why didn't your husband reveal this meaning to Zicheng just now?"

Facing Huang Yueying's question, Zhuge Liang replied: "I'm waiting for Zisheng's political achievements in the future."

"Observe his behavior, watch his people, and when he arrives in Hanxing County, if he can really follow my teaching today and bring happiness to the people of Hanxing, then it won't be too late for me to accept him as a disciple."

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Huang Yueying smiled and said, "If Zicheng can become Husband's disciple in the future, is Husband going to give him the Shendu Sword as a gift?"

The most obvious sign of the present ceremony of appreciating teachers is the exchange of tokens between masters and apprentices to clarify the relationship.

Regarding Huang Yueying's conjecture, Zhuge Liangliang nodded, and put the Shendu sword back into its sheath: "If Zicheng can use the safety of hundreds of thousands of people as his apprenticeship ceremony, then what's the point of me giving him Shendu?"

With a bang, Zhuge Liang placed the sheathed Shendu sword on the sword stand again. Under the flickering candlelight, Zhuge Liang stood with his hands behind his back:

"The sword is here. Whether you can get it or not depends on Zicheng himself."

　good night everybody.
