Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 418 Utopia ([-])

In the past, if Wang Miao was asked what ideal he had, he would not be able to answer it himself, but these years, after seeing all kinds of joys and sorrows, his ideal is to build a kingly land, a world of bliss, and a society of great harmony.

Winter of the 95rd year of Marquis Yan (305)

Due to the disagreement between King Hejian and Zhang Fang, civil war broke out in the army of Zhang Fang, the ogre king. During the scuffle, he returned to Chang'an with the rest of the army.

They hide in all kinds of dirty corners on weekdays, so that the chaos army can't find them.

Wang Miao, Wang E, Liu Yuan, and Young Master Yang, the four of them mixed in the group of refugees and headed for a distant place.

Now that the army is in chaos, the four of them can only walk together.

When they passed Puyang along the banks of the Yellow River, a group of armed cavalry came here, about 30 people.

"Who are you!" The leading officer asked Wang Miao and the others.

"I am Wang Miao, the eldest son of the Yan Kingdom, and I want to go back to Liaodong." Wang Miao replied truthfully, and after speaking, she also showed her own body identity jade badge.

After the leading officer confirmed that it was correct, he respectfully said to Wang Miao: "I have seen the prince."

After some exchanges, Wang Miao found out that this group of armed cavalry came from Youzhou, and they were the troops of Youzhou Governor Wang Jun.

The governor of Youzhou, Wang Jun, had formed an alliance with Yan, and Wang Jun also married his granddaughter to the grandson of Yan Houxue.

Wang Jun was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, and has been serving as the governor of Youzhou for several years. At this time, the world is in chaos, and he also has an ambition to fight for world hegemony.

Therefore, Wang Jun formed an alliance with Duan Xianbei, Murong Xianbei, and Yan Guo, while Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, formed an alliance with Yuwen Xianbei, Goguryeo, and Tuoba Xianbei, and then the East China Sea King cooperated with Wang Jun.

Today, the world is divided into two major forces, plus a bunch of scattered small forces, referred to as "three super and many strong".

These three forces are:

[One: The King of Hejian
Leader: Sima Yong, King of Hejian

Allies: Chengdu King Sima Ying, Qiang Hu, Huns]

[Two: King of the East China Sea

Leader: Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea

Allies: Goguryeo, Yuwen Xianbei, Tuoba Xianbei]

[Three: Wang Jun

Leader: Wang Jun, Governor of Youzhou

Allies: Yan State, Murong Xianbei, Duan Xianbei]

In addition to these three major powers, there are also Li Xiong who ruled Chengdu as emperor, Zhang Chang who ruled Jiangxia as emperor, and Chen Min who ruled Jianye as emperor.

In addition to these proclaimed emperors, there are also many uprising refugee armed forces, such as Wang Mi who traveled across Qingzhou and Xuerzhou.

In addition to refugees, there are many pirates, these pirates mainly wreak havoc in the coastal areas of Jiaozhou, Yangzhou.

In addition to pirates, many Hu people took the opportunity to migrate to the Central Plains and formed a separate regime.

All in all, the entire Central Plains is in chaos, and any chaotic forces dare to call themselves the Mandate of Heaven.

half a year later
Taishan County

Laiwu
In a deserted village at the foot of Mount Tai, more than 300 refugees gathered here. Under the leadership of Wang Miao, Wang E, Liu Yuan, and Yang Bao (the second surviving son of the Yang family), these refugees settled here.

The local residents have been slaughtered by the bandits on the mountain, so these new arrivals can directly use the ready-made houses and farmland.

Originally, Yanxue wanted Wang Miao to inherit her position as Marquis of Yan, but Wang Miaozhi was not here. He brought some money, recruited more than a dozen village braves, and went to the Central Plains to recruit refugees. He wanted to fulfill his dream, that is, Build a kingly paradise, or a world of bliss.

To realize this dream, you first need to experiment, that is, first in a small area, try to see if you can realize the kingly paradise with your own strength, and if you can, then you can spread it to the whole world.

Therefore, Wang Miao did not bring too much money, but if she brought too much, it would be equivalent to spending money to directly support a group of people who have no worries about food and clothing. This kind of experiment is meaningless, because it is impossible for the whole world to have a higher income. The forces at all levels spend money to support the people of the whole world, so it is necessary to find a way to make the people have no worries about food and clothing through self-reliance.

In this chaotic world, careerists are vying for power and profit, and people at the bottom are hurting each other, but Wang Miao just wants to find a way to a kingly land.

At the beginning, Wang Miao followed the description in the sage book and asked the people to perform their duties. According to the specialties of the people, those who were good at blacksmithing were allowed to go to the blacksmith shop; those who were good at opera were allowed to perform opera; those who were good at hunting Let him become a hunter, and if he is not good at it, let him farm, while the women take care of the elderly and children at home, and weave cloth by the way.

However, such a pattern could not be maintained after only one month.

Blacksmiths always like to cut corners, farmers like to be lazy, opera people are unwilling to improve themselves, and performances are always the same. When women take care of the elderly and children at home, they often have conflicts with their parents-in-law and even have sex with other men. .

Villagers often came to Wang Miao crying and complaining about the misfortune of their family.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs, and Wang Miao doesn't know how to intervene in such matters as Ye He. After all, the sage Confucius himself was born of Ye He.

When Wang Miao does not manage, the contradictions among the villagers continue to accumulate, and then they will kill each other, making the originally harmonious village bloody.

When Wang Miao intervened in the management, maybe the family had reconciled internally, and they would blame the village head Wang Miao for taking too much control.

No matter what happens, it will be messy, and if you manage it, you will die. It is a headache.

Moreover, Wang Miao and others have limited energy, and it is impossible to take care of the household affairs of the people all the time.

Therefore, after the rule of saints lasted for a month, Wang Miao tried the legalist severe punishment again.

He planned all aspects of the people in an orderly manner, allowing the people to live according to his settings, specifying when to get up, start working at a specified time, rest at a specified time, and accompany their families at a specified time.

But soon, the people couldn't bear this kind of machine-like life without freedom. They gathered together and clamored to leave the village. In the end, Wang Miao had no choice but to let them leave, and then recruited hundreds of them again. refugees.

Seeing that the legalist governance could not make the village a kingly land, Wang Miao then used Huang Lao's learning to govern the village, giving the villagers full freedom, allowing them to decide their own occupations and what they want to do, unless Only when there is a murder case, Wang Miao and the four will come forward to mediate. The rest of the time, they let the people be free, don't torment the people, and let the people recuperate.

However, soon, there were problems with Taoism's Huang-Lao theory. Without Wang Miao's restraint, some relatively strong villagers began to enslave those relatively weak villagers.

Those villagers who are physically strong or have many friends form gangs and force other villagers to farm for them, but they themselves refuse to farm. What they have to do every day is to supervise other villagers to farm and hand in food.

Gradually, those village gangs who became stronger, expelled the village chief Wang Miao, became the new rulers of the village themselves, and began to squeeze the weak villagers even more crazily.

Freedom without constraints brings about the enslavement of the strong to the weak. In the case of absolute freedom, the strong will only be freer than the weak.

The four of Wang Miao did not resist, and were expelled, which was also a result of the experiment. The four of them took a dozen township braves and went to other places to absorb refugees, wanting to continue to explore a way to save the world.
