Chapter 2653 Mountains and rivers and people
When the relevant information about the imperial examinations in Hedong and Longyou were sent back to Chang'an, Fei Qian looked at these reports and couldn't help feeling a little like facing the uneven scores in various places when the Juren exams were taken in later generations.
These are two, no, this is actually a type of problem.
The problem in Hedong is like not being sufficiently prepared, which has caused a large number of students to compete for few resources. But in fact, this problem can be seen as if no one had considered a problem similar to that in scientific research before Sima Yi went to Hedong to hold a scientific research exam?
The talents in Longyou are in trouble, and most people are forced to make a living and cannot have more time to study, so they are widened by the gap in academic knowledge. Is it also proved that before Fei Qian started the imperial examination, Longyou also did not consider the relevant issues of talents?
There was no consideration in advance, so there was a problem.
Talents do not fall from the sky.
It is not a specialty from somewhere. It can be harvested and collected at the time and continuously obtained...
This is different from the geographical location of Longyou, Hedong, and has no specific connection.
For some reason, the four words "Jiangnan Talent" suddenly appeared in Fei Qian's mind.
It seems that in later movies, TV, or opera novels, the frequency of "Jiangnan Talents" appears very high, at least it does not often appear in talented men in Shaanxi, Gansu or Longyou. The correspondingly other regional titles that are often seen are "Northwest Hero", "Nan Barbarian Leader", "Northeast Hero", etc....
Talented men in the south of the Yangtze River, heroes in the northwest, etc., just like someone said before that Shandong was a prime minister, Shanxi was a general, etc., it seemed to be a very reasonable thing, but now Fei Qian thought about it, but now he felt that there was something wrong with it.
"What's the problem with this? This is the regional characteristics!"
Some "King of Understanding" will definitely disdain and say lightly.
Then what?
What are the reasons for regional formation?
The solution?
Should we develop their own specificity or emphasize unity? Or should we coordinate the mean?
What are the benefits and disadvantages of these different strategies?
After formulating a strategy, how many years will be the deadline? When will it be adjusted, when will it be the green line and the red line? What new problems will the unchanged decades lead to?
"King of the King" said that he said that these were very simple and let others answer.
This was not the case in China. At least at the beginning, no one emphasized regionality. Everyone is from China, and they are descendants of fellow brothers Yan and Huang. But when did you start to emphasize where you are from whom I am?
Fei Qian feels that there are no problem with regional differences objectively, but it is also problematic to subjectively overemphasize the "adaptation to local conditions" on the same matter and try to formulate different standards suitable for each region on the same issue.
This method that is similar to the moderation of harmony seems fair, but in fact it is not the case. Instead, it will leave room for transactions for those cunning people, just like in a certain period of time in later generations, the best school for entrance examinations is not in Hengshui, but in a certain place in the northwest.
Because people can move, but the region does not move.
Clever people send their children up in a scammering way, and then these children will really achieve success? Or may they inherit the cunning method and continue to move onto the more cunning path?
Hedong and Longyou show different appearances of a problem.
Fei Qian took the two reports into his sleeves, then walked out of the lobby of the General's Mansion and walked towards the General's Mansion's official party beside him.
Xu Chu followed Fei's hidden position.
It was Xu Chu's turn to be on duty these two days.
On duty, Xu Chu wore heavy armor, looking vertically, a circle bigger than Feiqian, and a circle bigger than Feiqian, but his actions were similar to those of ordinary people, and there were no negative reductions in his movement flexibility.
Fei Qian walked slowly along the corridor and asked with a smile: "Zhongkang, if you go to take the scriptures, I wonder if you can pass it?"
"Lord, I want me to use a knife and stick to kill the enemy in battle formation. I am not willing to be the last one, but this exam scripture..." Xu Chu said helplessly, "The pen is not as thick as my fingers, and I can't even hold it..."
Of course, Xu Chu is not illiterate. He said that he could not hold his pen and could only be an example. But this scripture is just a lesson. He is indeed not good at it. He prefers to practice martial arts and to strengthen his body and strength every day. Learning scripture composition, writing, and practicing martial arts hard are both water-melting skills, and they all need to persist in practicing every day. Therefore, Xu Chu is lazy if he doesn't learn scriptures, and it is not easy to learn if he doesn't write articles, and this is not right.
Everyone has their own aspirations.
Rivers also have ambitions...
There is an old saying: Mountains are noble, and water is rich.
Everyone has their own differences, so there are also different regions.
This is a very normal thing.
Just like they cannot ask Xu Chu to take the scientific test and ask Pang Tong to go to fight to kill the enemy, although Xu Chu and Pang Tong are both fat, the fat of the two is completely different.
They are also fat, because of the differences and different choices of each person, the corresponding standards for "fat" are of course inconsistent.
This is really "adapting to local conditions".
The general direction is consistent, and the specific locations are different, instead of rigidly limiting a standard for each region, and then unchanging for decades...
Fei Qian nodded, laughed, chatted for a few more times, then turned around and arrived at the official party of the Xishangshutai.
As the power of the General of the Cavalry expanded, some functional institutions were divided and left the General Officer's Officer's Officer, but new departments and personnel were added. Therefore, this official party was always busy, and the small officials were constantly flowing.
Fei Qian walked in directly from the backyard, so it was relatively clean. Of course, it was also for convenience. Otherwise, those minor officials would have to bow and worship when they saw Fei Qian. Then the officials in the front yard would come out to greet them. The front yard was crowded. At that time, not only the minor officials and others would inevitably watch Fei Qian like they were watching the animals, but also made it difficult for Xu Chu and other guards to deal with them. Do they seem to be not respectful to the wise and the noble officials, and would they be worried about the risks.
Fei Qian also knew the difference between the front yard and the back yard, so he chose to go directly from the back yard, which was obviously much better. Most of the officials who came and went to see Fei Qian often, and they would not make any excessive moves. After performing the ceremony, they would be busy by themselves and would not cause any trouble to Xu Chu.
When Fei Qian walked to the back hall of Shangshutai, Pang Tong and Xun You were both busy.
When Fei Qian saw them, he waved his hand and signaled them to be busy first, then sit down in the back hall, and look at the writings from various places in the past few days. Judging from the writings, there is nothing special. After all, for the current season, the important thing for officials from all over the country is to further verify the situation of Zhuanghe. After all, for the farming society, grain harvest is the most important red line.
If there is no reserve, it does not mean that eating less food per capita or eating less bowl can solve the problem. Instead, someone really starves to death until the starving person settles the poor food, which can be considered to be balanced again.
After a while, Pang Tong finished handling the matter at hand and also went to the back hall from one side.
Fei Qian pulled out the two letters from his sleeve and gave them to Pang Tong to show them.
When Pang Tong was almost finished reading, Xun You also came and continued to watch.
After reading it, both of them couldn't help but think about it and didn't speak for a while.
『…』 Xun You sighed softly, 『The loss of Longyou is due to the disaster of the Xiqiang...』
Pang Tong nodded and said, "Yes, when the Longyou Academy is completed, there will be more people who study."
Fei Qian pondered for a moment, didn't say it was right, nor did he say it was wrong, but asked: "What about Hedong?"
"The affairs of Hedong are easy. If you prepare more inn affairs and order the soldiers to station, you can solve them." Xun You said.
Fei turned his head and looked at Pang Tong, and found that Pang Tong also thought Xun You's solution was feasible.
Fei Qian smiled, "You both said good, but you can treat symptoms but not root causes. Hedong and Longyou are not a matter of time and place."
"Treat the root cause?" Pang Tong frowned, "The lord's intention... It's not a time and place, then it's a human being?"
Fei Qian nodded, and then said to Pang Tong and Xun You: "What you both are indeed right, but what I want to say is, don't stand in front of looking at the problem..."
Similar to this question, there is a saying in later generations that beautiful mountains and rivers produce talents, while poor mountains and rivers produce unruly people.
Is this sentence correct?
Yes, but not right.
This is indeed a phenomenon, but who can ignore any other factors and just use mountains, rivers to distinguish what is beautiful mountains and rivers, and what is poor mountains and bad waters?
Some guys who like to pretend, such as some seclusion guests in the Han Dynasty, think that mountains, rivers and natural environment are good, so they declare that they have lived in seclusion in high profile. However, while living in seclusion, they can also participate in various "variety shows"?
These people claim that living in the mountains and rivers can feel that time slows down, and people can eliminate impetuousness. Then they say that this natural environment is extremely important for the birth of great thinkers and writers. Then they came to a conclusion that sages and hermits from ancient times all like to live in seclusion in beautiful mountains and rivers...
What the meaning is naturally self-evident.
But these people, when facing the mountains and rivers they live in, they call it "beautiful mountains and rivers", and then turn around and say that some places have "poor mountains and rivers" come from unruly people...
meaning!
This is obviously because the butt can't be crooked anymore.
In fact, is there a direct connection between the quality of the people and the amount of knowledge and the natural resources of the mountains and rivers?
Hedong and Longyou are proof of this.
Hedong was also very bad before. Refugees from the Jiuyuan Yunzhong area of Shangjun went south. The Han Dynasty left the throne, closed his eyes and blocked his ears, and treated everything as if he had not seen or heard. In addition, the area inside Hedong was often robbed by the Xianbei and Xiongnu in Baibo and Heishan. So when Feiqian had not yet developed Hedong, how many scholars could there be? How many people could study?
Nowadays, there are obviously several times more scholars in Hedong than in Longyou.
The mountains and rivers are still the original mountains and rivers in Hedong, and the rivers are still the original rivers. So put aside other factors, just talk about the beautiful mountains and rivers, poor mountains and bad waters, and what if you don’t be tilted and act like a hooligan?
Therefore, the most important thing is not landscapes, but economy.
The economic foundation determines the superstructure, developed agriculture, prosperous industry and commerce, and if you have money and food at home, you can spend more time studying. This is the most important factor that determines the number of scholars.
Therefore, if we say that there are many talented people in the later generations of "Jiangnan", it is not really because of the beautiful mountains and rivers of Jiangnan, but because in the subsequent feudal dynasties, Jiangnan's economy is better than other places and can provide more people with study. It is the external economic conditions that allow more mediocre people to gain more opportunities and a higher position, rather than relying on the beautiful mountains and rivers of Jiangnan, more talents will naturally be born.
This reminded Fei Qian of the feudal dynasty that the number of people who won the imperial examinations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang seemed to be the largest. Then, when they moved, some people would say that this was the inheritance of the Jiangnan family, a place of literary and cultural heritage. It seemed that they were born in Jiangnan, which was so amazing. In other places, they were born to wait for people...
But if you know a little about history, you will know that during the Warring States Period, Jiangnan, that is, the area around Chu, was a synonym for barbarians. Like Qin, they were brothers and brothers and were despised by the Central Plains cultural people. Of course, Chu did not have much culture at that time. The cultural power of the Warring States Period was Qi and Lu.
Even in the Han Dynasty, the Jiangnan area was still covered with Yue people with various colors on their faces, holding hatches, bamboo guns, and whistling in the mountains and forests all day long. So if the Jiangnan family really has a heritage, where did this inheritance come from?
Is it really the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River born and raised?
『Local stability and economic development』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『Talents in Fang came into being... This is the fundamental problem... The difference between Hedong and Longyou is just a step ahead, and there is a difference of slowing down...』
Pang Tong nodded and said, "What the lord said is very true."
Xun You naturally agreed.
Indeed, whether it is the establishment of a school palace in Longyou or the expansion of an inn in Hedong, it seems that it is all solving local problems, but in fact, the most important thing is still economic development, so that people can free themselves from the heavy labor and have more time and energy to learn and grow.
Fei Qian is not a capitalist, so there is no need to brag about the glory of 996 and overtime all day long. Instead, he feels that only by cultivating more talents can the whole of China develop better. The practice of making more people busy with their livelihoods and working from morning to night in order to eat in one bite can indeed make the lower-level people lose their mobility, stabilize the original class, and manage the place better, but it will not be beneficial to China in the future, or even only have disadvantages.
"The Warring States Period, the Central Plains War, nine out of ten empty houses... It was the prosperity of Chu State..." Fei Qian said slowly, "So if it were the current battle between Guanzhong and Shandong... what do you think will be cheap?"
Pang Tong smiled and said, "Of course it's cheaper in Jiangdong!"
Xun You nodded too.
Fei Qian touched his beard, smiled, and said, "Gongda, you mentioned this little about it when you wrote a letter from home. How about it?"
Xun You was stunned for a moment, but Pang Tong next to him smiled and stroking his palm and said, "That's right, yes, I'll write a few letters... There are still some friends in Jingbei..."
Xun You pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "If you have this lord, you should let those who are interested be moved."
Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "You may have misunderstood. You just need to describe the things in front and behind Hedong, Longyou, according to facts... Of course, it is very good if someone is willing to come, but there is no need to force it."
Using administrative orders or other means to forcibly migrate people to Longyou can undoubtedly greatly stimulate Longyou's economy. Fei Qian is very clear about this.
The best example is still Jiangnan.
Looking at the rise of Jiangnan, it was because of the large input of talents from the Central Plains in the north that the barbarian Yue people who were originally running in the mountains and forests gradually became the talented people of Jiangnan who were respected in later generations. So from this perspective, the rise of Jiangnan was not the merits of the original native Yue people, but the brought about by those outsiders. The entire Jiangnan was also lying on the corpses of the Central Plains, gnawing on the leftovers and eating fat in one bite.
I ate it once in the Warring States Period.
I ate it for three countries.
Nanjin ate it once.
I ate it once in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty wanted to continue eating, but in modern times, it was also taking advantage of the comprador's opportunity to continue eating.
So basically, Jiangnan has developed well in later generations and has many talents. Whether there are any efforts from Jiangnan people is indeed there. This cannot be denied. But it cannot be said that it is all the efforts of Jiangnan, and it has nothing to do with other people and other regions.
If there is a so-called editor-in-law or something, it is just a blind saying that Jiangnan’s achievements are because of the beautiful mountains and rivers of Jiangnan, so there are so many talents, and without exploring the development of history and the origins, it is basically certain that they have bad intentions.
Just like at a certain period of later generations, some people with ulterior motives were clamoring how important the output value of a certain place was, and then they said that other provinces were all rural people and should serve the superiors well. In fact, it was to deliberately confuse some facts, deny the evolution of history, and deny the sacrifices and contributions made by other provinces, and deliberately provoke and create internal conflicts among the Chinese nation.
Now, Fei Qian felt that there was no need to let Jiangdong lie down so comfortably and wait for food...
Longyou is also a good place.
The people of Yue from Jiangdong have not handled it well, and the Qiang in the West of Longyou have been pacified.
The trade in Jiangdong is still far away, and the western regions of Longyou are already prosperous.
So if it is a family suffering in the Central Plains, why go to Jiangdong?
Welcome to Longyou.
At this point, Fei Qian hopes to be a natural attraction rather than a forced government order.
For ordinary refugees, they feel very happy if they have a place to settle down. They will feel happy because they migrate from a turbulent place to a stable place.
For families at a higher level, forcing migration is undoubtedly to make them migrate from the originally stable area to a completely unfamiliar environment. Will such a family feel happy? Obviously not, then they will inevitably become resentful. If one of the 100 such resentment people is doing something that is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, it would be a big group of people.
Therefore, the resettlement of homeless refugees can be sent to Longxi, but for those who originally had family property, it is definitely the best to voluntarily.
Only when you are willing to come will it be useful, but if you force it, it will not be beautiful.
Fei Qian now asked Xun You to write a letter, not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy.
The letters written by Xun You when he returned home will definitely be studied by people in the Xun family, and the difference between Hedong and Longyou is also a fact. Fei Qian did not want Xun You to exaggerate or deceive him, but just discussed the facts and put the facts in front of the Xun family and the "relatives and friends" mentioned by Pang Tong.
At the same time, the redevelopment of Longyou is also imminent.
Originally, Feiqian's positioning for Longyou was a commercial transshipment, a commercial transportation on the transportation route from the entire Western Region to Guanzhong. However, it is obvious that this commercial transportation is of some help to the Longyou economy, but it is limited to both sides of the business road, and most other areas in Longyou did not receive a BUFF bonus.
However, Pang Tong and Xun You obviously have no good ideas about revitalizing local economy. It is not that they lack intelligence, but that they do not have enough information...
"In this way, let Zijing inspect Longyou for a period of time after the imperial examination. "Fei Qian finally made a decision, "Expand the relatively drought-resistant wheat millet planting... Well, simple farming is obviously not necessarily suitable for the development of Longyou... My idea is to focus on the three aspects of mountains, forests, animal husbandry, and mines...
If new breakthroughs can be achieved, it will naturally drive the economy.
After saying this, Fei Qian said helplessly again, "In addition...... I inform Wenhe that if there is any problem, please report it in time and don't spend your thoughts on unnecessary worries!"
Chapter completed!
