Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1572 Heming

The new year seems to be not far away. Although this year has been full of ups and downs and many disasters, it is finally over. Perhaps because of this, the winter is still cold, but Chengdu seems to have completely forgotten the previous war. Pain-like, still gradually bright and enchanting.

  The sun hangs lazily in mid-air, somewhat bringing out some warmth.

  People, it is always best to live in the present moment.

   Those who live in yesterday are often full of regrets, and those who live in tomorrow are often lazy.

   The most fundamental task is to do the things in front of you well one by one.

  When Fei Qian and his guards passed through the streets of Chengdu, the sun just fell from the eastern sky, shining on the trees, flowers and plants on both sides of the road, as well as on the pedestrians passing by.

   It also sprinkled on Fei Qian's body, shining a piece of golden yellow, which made Liu Bei feel that its shining was a bit obtrusive.

Pedestrians who came and went, there were civilian husbands in a hurry, there were also children of noble families in twos and threes, there were some sticks jumping on the burden, and alchemists traveling doctors holding cloth banners, etc. After seeing the three-color flag of Zhengxi, they all agreed. He stopped abruptly and leaned against both sides of the street, letting Zhengxi and his party pass by first.

   This is the privilege of the ruler, and it is a subtle manifestation of the privilege.

Everyone knows that time is fair to everyone, but the value produced by using time is different, just like some people use time to acquire knowledge and gain insights, while some people will only turn into **** and belittle everything. Find your own value in the process.

  Giving the central road to the privileged to use and save the time of the privileged is not a local practice in Chengdu, nor is it a patent only in the Han Dynasty. As a privileged person, how to view this issue is also very interesting.

  The structure in Chengdu is also very interesting.

Because although it is said that Chengdu is a basin, it is relatively flat, but it is only a comparison. It is not a vast plain and desert terrain like North and Northwest China, but has some slight ups and downs. Therefore, the streets are often located as far as possible, and the houses are as close as possible. It gradually spread to the hillside, mixed with trees, and when spring comes, the whole city will instantly turn green.

  Of course, if it’s winter, like now, it’s mostly dead branches, gray and black and desolate. It's like seeing hope in despair, or only experiencing despair in hope.

  Fortunately, the climate in Chengdu is warmer and the winter days are not long.

   Fei Qian was sitting on horseback. He had just gone to Qingyang Temple to pick up Liu Bei. The three days of confinement, bah, cleansing, but it can make Liu Bei calm down and think about some things. Of course, everyone's thinking is different, just like twisted melons can only quench their thirst.

   There is also a canal not far away.

This canal is introduced from the northwest corner, then passes through the southeast corner, and passes through the entire city. It is an important living component for ordinary people to fetch water, wash clothes, etc. Along the two sides of the canal, it has naturally become the most lively and prosperous place in the city. For example, the time-honored Sifangzhai, Chunyuesi, Wu's ready-to-wear shop, Lai's rice shop, and some pawnshops and sauce shops, etc., all spread out their guises along the canal, using words or pictures to represent this. What kind of items are here.

  The canal is here, people naturally come and go to fetch water and wash clothes, and then naturally gather all kinds of shops, and then attract more people, and the people promote more business opportunities...

  Now, Fei Qian's work and personal value is to open a new canal in the Han Dynasty.

  On the street, there are many pedestrians coming and going, and the prosperity of Sichuan can be seen.

   Of course, there are also many soldiers who belong to the Zhengxi series. Most of these soldiers were stationed outside the city, and then came into the city to buy some supplies, in order, and after seeing the flag of Zhengxi, they put down what they were doing and saluted Fei Qian and his party.

   A group of patrolling soldiers in the city saw Fei Qian and his party, and saluted on horseback one after another, but they didn't stop, but continued to move forward, passing Fei Qian and others. Because patrolling cavalry are performing official duties, while ordinary soldiers are only purchasing privately...

   Liu Bei looked, looked, and suddenly sighed.

   "The general's subordinates are all ordering and prohibiting, and they are also sensible and caring for the people..." Liu Bei seemed to be sighing, but also seemed to be flattering.

Liu Bei is still Liu Bei, and he is not willing to take any position under Fei Qian. After three days of thinking, he expressed that he wants to follow in the footsteps of the sages and do something for the people so that the people can be rich and happy, etc. , Fang lives up to the emperor's grace, and below lives up to the people...

  In fact, it means expressing the desire to serve as an official of one party, to shepherd the people, that is, the state shepherd.

   Fei Qian was noncommittal.

  However, Liu Bei is still very cautious, expressing that he is willing to study with Fei Qian for half a year and a year, and then take these spirits and strategies of Fei Qian to apply what he has learned, and fully demonstrate his obedience and respect for Zhengxi.

As for what Liu Bei is thinking in his heart, Fei Qian can generally guess a seven or eight, but not to mention anything else, Liu Bei is still very confusing when he smiles, his eight-character eyebrows are relaxed, and his eyes are crooked. , people can't help ignoring its deep nasolabial folds, it looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, who would know that under the confusing shell of this middle-aged man, there is a heart that will never admit defeat heart?

  When one thing and one state last for a long time, people will always find all kinds of legitimate reasons for themselves.

  Liu Bei is like this, so is Fei Qian.

  In retrospect, sometimes Fei Qian also has some doubts, why in some books about rebirth that I read before, those reborn people are always eager to grab money and accept women?

  You must know that in this world, no matter what dynasty or generation, as long as those who can stand at the top, most of them have extremely strong willpower and their own persistence.

  The ancients were not all stupid, and the later generations are not short of stupid.

  People's words and deeds are generally inseparable from personal desires, so in the final analysis, for those time travelers who just blindly pursue money, power and beauty, it is likely that the original lack of sense has been brought after rebirth.

For example, before rebirth, if you were cautious or oppressed, what you lacked most was money and naiko, and then after rebirth, in order to satisfy this sense of lack, you immediately rushed to grab power, make money, spend money to find nako, and then continue Grab more power, earn more money, spend money to find more sons, and forcibly live the opportunity that should have been a big era into a small era...

   What about higher-level contributions and the progress of the times?

  Fei Qian doesn't feel how great he is, but at least he can't look up to the small.

   Come to the Han Dynasty to walk around, is it just to collect some beauties to satisfy the lower body? Or is it that the lower body is happy, and everything will be better in the future? What can increase GDP with one entry and one exit?

  Shouldn’t we work hard to see if we can change the future of a region, or even the future of the world, like the construction of Dujiangyan in Sichuan and Sichuan?

So at the moment, there are endless things to do. Fei Qian doesn't have much thought on this primitive instinct. Any problem that is not handled well will trigger a series of follow-up reactions, such as the one beside him. , Liu Bei Liu Xuande.

  Fei Qian turned his head to Huang Cheng who was at the side, then pointed to Liu Bei, and said, "Talk to him about our soldiers purchasing according to the rules..."

Huang Cheng showed a foolish smile, pointed at the soldiers beside him and said, "Mr. Liu, it's not because these soldiers care about the people... but because there are military regulations. Of course, only military regulations are not enough. An ordinary soldier like this is No matter how many principles and laws there are, nothing can compare to giving him enough military pay..."

   "Huh?" Liu Bei was a little confused, can giving money replace principles and rules?

"Yes, what can't be deducted, how much should be paid...With the food and salary, these **** will not have any bad thoughts because of lack of food and clothing..." Huang Cheng continued, "...Then, there are military regulations...If someone Offenders, not only he himself will be punished, but all those who are present, or who know about it, who failed to stop his behavior and did not expose it in time, will all be punished, and his Qu Changjunhou will also be punished..."

Just like the habit of most people, if someone does something bad, but the bad thing is not directly related to himself, then even if he sees it, he won't have much reaction and motivation to stop it, but What if it involves your own interests, plus the system where one person makes a mistake and the whole team sits in succession...

"Oh, I know..." Liu Bei nodded, and he also knew this method, "This is Shiwufa. As the saying goes, there are Likui, Shizhushijia, and Wuzhuwujia. Check with each other, and people have good and evil. To sue the supervisor..."

  Baojia Law is not a patent of the Ming Dynasty, but it started from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the population gradually increased, and villages gradually formed. The Shiwu System became the basis of the Baojia Law in later generations. The family sits together, so in the Qin Dynasty, there were very few sneaky things among the people, because the cost was too high...

Later, such a system was continuously improved in the next thousand years, such as the pavilions in the Han Dynasty, the three chiefs in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the chiefs in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The relevant rules, rewards and punishments were carried forward in the Ming Dynasty, and even more detailed separation of military households, commercial households, private households, etc., became the shackles worn by the people, and there are still some remnants in later generations. .

   Are there any flaws in Baojia Law?

   Many flaws.

  For example, the Baojia Law was first created to restrict population movement, and then it was naturally followed by the convenience of collecting taxes and the rule of the exploiting class, and then cultivated a group of local tyrants and evil gentry who relied on the Baojia Law, etc...

   But what about the advantages?

  At least in the Han Dynasty, it was extremely important and powerful.

Fei Qian turned his head to look at Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "Since Xuande also thinks this method is good, then I would like to help someone. How about letting this matter go for now? Implementing Shiwu's method in Sichuan is convenient for the people and the country. Da Yan..." In the army there is such a practice, but among the people, because the laws of the great Han have been changed several times, there is no such rule, and there are even more relatives to protect each other, not to judge crimes...

   Liu Bei was taken aback: "What does the general mean?"

"The ambition of Xuande is not to shepherd the people?" Fei Qian shook his horsewhip, as if talking about a trivial matter, "The government of the soldiers and the people is originally one... I see that there are many mistakes in the civil affairs in Sichuan. Let's start with this... What does Xuande think?"

   This is to arrange a specific job?

   Liu Bei couldn't help but weigh it in his heart.

   This is definitely not just a matter of law. Is this levy for the purpose of checking the population in central Sichuan? But wouldn't this push me to the fire? The population check will probably touch the interests of some big families in Sichuan and Shu, so in this way, wouldn't it be...

  But just now I said that I want the way of herdsmen, so I turned around and stopped doing this. If it is spread, it will definitely lose my reputation...

   What's more, I do have some deficiencies in civil affairs. Take this opportunity to learn more about how General Zhengxi governs the territory, and then I also have the opportunity...

  Thinking of this, Liu Bei cupped his hands and said: "So, Bei is willing to be driven by the general..."

   "Good." Fei Qian said with a smile, looking up at the sky, "Then at 10 o'clock tomorrow, Xuande can go to the Council Hall, and someone will announce it to the public... Xuande has been working hard these days, you might as well rest early..."

   "Wei, if that's the case, Bei will leave first..." Liu Bei didn't say much, and he bowed to Fei Qian, then watched Fei Qian leave, and then turned around and left with three or four personal guards.

...

"Otherwise? Raising it for nothing? Sooner or later, there will be problems..." Fei Qian flicked his horsewhip, "It's better to let it play a role... In this matter, as a deputy, you should just watch it and don't meddle in it Just watch what he does... Then the main thing is to take this opportunity to inspect the terrain in Sichuan and Shu, or the next step, even if you want to send soldiers out, you don't know where to send them..."

"In addition, you have to learn something about people's livelihood..." Fei Qian said to Huang Cheng while walking forward, "After a while, about half a year or so, it depends on how well you study... I am going to send you as the governor of the upper county...the situation there is similar to that in southern Sichuan, there are many barbarians and few Han people, and you need to support the town, and you have to learn how to balance it..."

   "Going to the county guard?" Huang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then rolled his eyes at Huang Xu who was congratulating him, a little uneasy, but also a little expectant, and said, "My lord, you must be easy to learn!"

   "Shangjun is very important. It connects the north and the south, connects the Yinshan Mountain in Guanzhong, and there is Pingyang on the ventral side..." Fei Qian nodded, "I don't worry about leaving it to others, but you have to do it well, don't let me down..."

  Huang Cheng hit his chest twice with his fist, "My lord, please don't worry! I will definitely do my best!"

   Fei Qian hummed, then continued to move forward, and asked Huang Xu, "Is the Chuanzhong sand table ready? And how are the wounded in Qi County recovering? How is the big man now?"

  Huang Xu quickly said: "The sand table has been prepared, someone put it in the meeting hall first... There is no news from Qi County, and someone has already sent someone to urge, and they can reply tomorrow at the most..."

There are many things, but they can only be done slowly, just like there is no previous foreshadowing, there is no convenience now, no previous military literacy, no city patrol, and naturally there is no current military regulations, let alone the next The one-step Baojia system is not only a means of checking household registration, but also a series of follow-up actions...

  As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, so many people don’t start at all, or just lie down after opening a little bit.

Fei Qian looked up and saw people coming and going nearby, wine flags hanging high in the distance, and then looking at the horizon, he felt that the middle of the river was like a bowl, surrounded by mountains, standing tall in the sky, and the sky was like a cover, just covering it. On it, it is like a gigantic alchemy furnace. People in it will either be turned into dry bones and blood by time and desire, or they will be killed with all their abilities...

  It is life or death, in fact, it is all in the choice of one's heart.

  Go forward, step forward, as long as your heart wants, what you want, where is it not right ahead?
