"Longyou, as Wenhe said, there are few people."
Fei Qian sat on the horse's back and walked westward.
The next journey was not so rush.
I tried my best to travel because Fei Qian also needed to personally test and experience this "highway", or whether it could be achieved similar to the "straight road" of Qin Shihuang back then.
As a centralized feudal dynasty, an important part of the ability to expand its territory is that the larger the scope directly covered by the central strong forces, the stronger the dynasty will naturally become.
Before there was no steam engine, the cavalry was the strongest land army, the fast-resisting anti-troop.
After finishing the bills along the way and reexamined the changes brought by the new logistics model, I found that this path is indeed very good and effective, but in fact, it can save some...
Because Jia Xu knew that Fei Qian would come with him, and it was not a trip, at least one round trip, so he did a good job in preparation. Whether it was in the Anding area near Guanzhong, or in Zhangye and other places in the Western Regions, the specifications and facilities of the Bingzhai, or the Little Army Station were basically the same, and there were no mistakes.
But this also leads to a high overall cost.
As an important corridor connecting the Western Regions and Guanzhong, Jia Xu's intensive arrangement of such support stations is not a big problem from a certain perspective, but if those roads in relatively complex and complex areas are also built so intensively, it is obviously unreasonable.
Jia Xu also agreed with this.
Moreover, Jia Xu also raised a very critical issue, which is also an old problem in Longyou, that is, there are few people.
That is to say Fei Qian just agreed, there are indeed few people.
This place has poor water resources, so the land is barren.
Because the land is barren, large-scale farmland cannot be planted.
Because there is no large-scale planting industry, it cannot support a high-density population.
This is a real problem, and Fei Qian is indeed unable to change it.
Yugong's spirit of moving mountains is desirable, but his behavior is not desirable. When the mountain is not as good as a person, he can go to the mountain, climb out of the mountain, and bring a team of excavators back. Wouldn't it be better than woven baskets at home? Of course, the key is that he will come back again, otherwise after driving the excavator outside the mountain, he would be happy and unaware of Shu, not just Liu Chan.
"The migration strategy can only last for a while, and it is difficult to last for generations." Jia Xu said on the side that he did not agree with the large-scale migration of inland population. "In the past, when Xiaowu was in the past, he moved to the Central Plains and filled the border, but there were many inappropriate things..."
Fei Qian nodded and said, "The method of migration can only treat symptoms, not root causes. If you want to treat root causes, you still have to look at the Qiang people."
"Qiang people?" Jia Xu frowned.
Migrating to Qiang people?
Fei Qian nodded, "That's right, Qiang people. But it's not a migration..."
Sometimes you need to relax your eyes.
"Water is an ordinary thing..." Seeing that Jia Xu was a little confused, Fei Qian said slowly, "However, if you don't have water, you will die in three days. If you have water but no food, you can live for seven days. If you have food and water, you can be safe for a hundred days."
This is common sense, or in most cases, accurate knowledge.
A question mark appeared on Jia Xu's head.
Fei Qian turned his head slightly and glanced at Jia Xu, "There are some new researches at Chang'an Agricultural College... Then I will send someone a copy to Wenhe for a look... mainly the water needed by Zhuang He...
"Water?" Jia Xu blinked. This was a field he had not covered at all. Even though he was extremely intelligent and had the top wisdom of a great man, he still seemed to be unable to grasp the key points.
『Water and soil... One place of water and soil nourishes the other... Rice grows in the south, and wheat is planted in the north. This is water and soil, and Zhuanghe is like this, and people are like this," Fei Qian stretched out his hand and swung up and down to indicate, 『Wenhe, you need to look in another direction... From bottom to top... We used to look from top to bottom, but now we might as well look in reverse...』
"On the other hand?" Jia Xu seemed to be thinking about something.
Fei Qian glanced at Jia Xu.
In fact, this is also a problem reflected in the Longyou military "highway".
When Jia Xu formulated these military stations, the main basis was military needs. Therefore, some military stations were actually in relatively remote areas, with no people around them for more than ten or even twenty or thirty miles. Although this greatly supplemented and facilitated military needs, it also made the subsequent supplementary military stations very expensive to consume.
If you consider it from the grassroots level, the military stations will extend outward along important towns. Then in these uninhabited areas, the layout of some military stations should be relatively reduced, while adding additional burden to the surrounding towns. After the population increases, the issue of outward extension will be considered.
This is like the Tunbian and migration from Han Yi.
In a certain period, it is necessary to garrison the edge, just like a military station. If it is not decided by the upper level and organized and implemented, then such a military "highway" will not appear naturally for ten or twenty years. However, if there is a problem in this process and it turns a blind eye, or if it is a big talk about what can be "surmounted", "ignored", and "beared", and "suffered", people are often either stupid or bad.
What is the "temporary" "tolerance" or "suffering"? Then turn a blind eye to these problems in front of you and clamor for what "tomorrow" will be better and the "future" will be sweeter?
Well, at first someone would believe it.
However, the year before yesterday said that the year before yesterday was the most difficult, and it would be better if you survived it.
Last year, I said that last year was the hardest, and it would be better if I could survive it.
This year is still saying that this year is the most difficult and will...
What else can I say next year?
Even if the memories of the people are short, they will not be able to remember them every year?
Isn’t all those who do not talk about the specific time of patience and do not clarify the temporary period? Isn’t it similar to the Buddha’s theory?
This life is karma and suffering, but the next life is beautiful.
So in this life, do you deserve to suffer?
Oh, it’s not "everyone". After all, there are still a group of people who do not need to "overcome" or "patience" to enjoy the happiness and sweetness of the moment. After all, these people are the blessings they only have in their previous life’s practice and in this life. That’s right?
There were obvious problems with the migration strategy of the border in the Han Dynasty.
The first wave of people migrating from the inland are five types of "sinners". The laws of the feudal dynasty were so simple and crude. To say that guilt is guilt is guilt, but what are the ministers and elites who wanted to migrate the so-called "sinners" to the border, what are the ideas and purposes of these people?
Perhaps to some extent, he wants to protect the "pure good" people outside the five kinds of "sinners", but in fact, are these "sinners" really sinners? Are the "pure good" they protect really pure?
Moreover, for migrating to the border, Feiqian would also send officials to make arrangements for the early, mid and late stages. Who knew this at the beginning? Who would go back to do it? It was like keeping grass seeds on the ground at will, and whether they could grow depends entirely on luck. In this way, the effect of migration could briefly support the Western Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu. It was not because these feudal upper-class rulers who formulated strategies were so smart, but because the people of the Chinese nation could endure hardships enough!
Otherwise, if you change to another ethnic group, would you try it?
But we cannot bully the people of China just because they are so pure and kind!
If you bully all the good people and have no way to survive, what will be left? Either good people who are evil or purebred bad people, will everyone be happy by that time?
This is what Fei Qian wanted to say to Jia Xu.
People in the feudal dynasty, especially those at the top, such as the emperor, should have a position with the grassroots people, otherwise...
When the emperor in the feudal dynasty forgot his position and began to mingle with the ministers in the middle, the dynasty began to perish. This has been proved several times in history, and Fei Qian certainly would not turn a blind eye to these "learnings from the past".
The military station can be regarded as a small-scale migration, but even a small-scale migration requires strategy.
Fei Qian had considered this issue before, but it has been disturbed by this or that matter, and has not been specifically considered or explored. It was not until this Western Regions incident broke out that Fei Qian suddenly remembered this issue that he might have considered it several times before, but he did not think deeply enough.
During the chaos in the Western Regions, a situation that Fei Qian had completely unexpected occurred.
It's not Lu Bu, but Buddha.
Fei Qian had made pre-examinations for the Western Regions before, but among the pre-examinations, the only thing Fei Qian did not consider them thoroughly was Buddhism in the Western Regions.
How did a false hope confuse so many people?
This is a big problem.
Fei Qian cannot solve it all, but you can try to solve some of it.
After all, it is all human problems in the final analysis.
Jia Xu glanced at Fei Qian's face slightly and bowed and said, "What the lord said is so much, the people are like water. Water can carry boats, but can also overturn the boats."
This is the view of the old Xun family in the Spring and Autumn Period, so it is not surprising that Jia Xu can understand immediately.
Fei Qian said, "Where the Han people in the Western Regions are different from Jingwei. When they first saw that there was a difference, then what? When the river rushes into the sea, can there be a distinction between Jingwei? Therefore, Lu Fengxian's actions, the acts of slaughtering Buddhist countries and killing the people are wrong. Those who are available should use it and should not be easily destroyed."
Jia Xu sighed, paused for a moment, and sighed again, "If Brother Wenyou is here, just based on the lord's words, it will be revealed."
Jia Xu was very moved.
Li Ru and Jia Xu were all Han people, but there was a time when they were not human inside and outside.
The Han people in Shandong felt that people like Li Ru and Jia Xu were no longer considered Han people, so they were expelled from Chinese.
The Qiang people and a few other tribes also felt that Li Ru and Jia Xu could not be considered their people...
In fact, both Li Ru and Jia Xu accepted the Han culture and lived and grew up in the land of Longxi. Why would they be tolerated by both sides? The Han people think that Li Ru and Jia Xu were Hu Hua. Even in history, Jia Xu could accumulate merits and ascend to the Three Lotus Hall. When he was the Three Dukes, some people would whisper below, saying that Jia Xu was not qualified to be the Three Dukes at all. The reason was not Jia Xu's wisdom and ability, but his dislike for his origin!
People from Shandong believe that a position is not whether it meets the abilities, but whether it is born!
The key is that this concept can be recognized by many Shandong people and even from some other places...
In fact, origin is just a circle.
The political groups of the feudal dynasty were used to having a circle to protect themselves. Vested interests also did not want more people to share pork. Therefore, these upper-level guys would consciously build information cocoons for the lower-level, inducing the lower-level people to divide into different circles, and then they were like fighting beasts locked in cages, fighting each other, biting, and killing each other...
This is the only way to ensure that these beasts will not think about opening the cage or hanging some people on street lights all day long.
What Jia Xu sighed about was that Fei Qian was inclusive beyond the ordinary rulers.
Tolerate Han people and Qiang people.
Also tolerate flawed people.
Even when Lu Bu has disrupted the Western Regions, Fei Qian can still think calmly, and seems to be looking at the future at all times, looking for directions, rather than opening his mouth to say something angry, boredom, and related words that tend toward emotional catharsis.
This is the trait of a leader that Jia Xu had never met before.
Even Cao Cao could not do it.
Li Ru did logistics for Lu Bu and opened up the Western Regions, not for the so-called merits, but for the sake of proving the broader world that Fei Qian described before.
Now, before Li Ru died, he really opened a corner of the curtain. The current disputes in the Western Regions prove from another perspective that the West does have a wider land and a richer country.
Today, this "highway" model used for military affairs will naturally be built in the Western Regions in the future.
"Lord, but..." Even though Fei Qian said this, Jia Xu still said with some concern, "If the Hu people were used as a village, there might be a suspicion of giving someone a handle..."
Fei Qian glanced at Jia Xu, "Wenhe, you are too cautious."
Jia Xu was stunned and quickly raised his eyes to look at Fei Qian, but saw that Fei Qian seemed to be just saying this casually.
Really casual?
Jia Xu doesn't believe it.
Because Jia Xu is so cautious. He is like a thousand-year-old turtle. He is not sure that there is no danger in the outside world, so he will never easily stretch out his head. Just like Jia Xu knows that there are problems in the Western Regions and knows some things about Lu Bu in the Western Regions, but Jia Xu never takes the initiative to report them. At most, he is just a move, such as delivering the Western Regions to Guanzhong.
It was like Jia Xu clearly had ten thousand ideas in his mind at the moment, but he just didn't say it. He had to wait until Fei Qian asked several times before one would rumbling out of his stomach...
But the problem is, does avoiding or hiding or hiding really help solve the problem?
"Being cautious is a good thing, but being too cautious may not be done. Just like the wise say, fighting will perish. Therefore, some people say that the country should not be too aggressive in fighting, which is a good word. However, when should we fight, we do not mention it at all, and we will not fight in the end. Those who say fighting will be punished." Fei Qian said slowly, "When has there been no war in the world since ancient times? If you don't talk about fighting, will there be no thieves in the world?"
Sometimes people are very contradictory, just like a small group of people in Guanzhong. Some time ago, someone in Guanzhong said why Fei Qian didn’t fight Shandong? Not fighting Shandong is a waste of time and place and harmony with people. It is simply a fool and stupid combination...
Then now someone says why Fei Qian wants to fight the Western Regions? Fighting the Western Regions is like fighting, just a waste, just another stupid and stupid combination, etc.
Fei Qian sometimes finds it very interesting.
Shandong people are some of the Han people from the country. Then a group of people in Guanzhong jumped up and down, saying that they should start quickly, the sooner the better, the faster the better, and the heavier the better. Then when they turned to deal with the Western Regions, the Western Regions were not considered to be the Han people for the time being. Then, in Guanzhong, there were another group of people chattering, saying that they should not be so concerned about the outside world, thankless, and forget it, if they can get through, they will die. What is the point of winning this kind of war...
I mean, is this good tradition of the big man?
Jia Xu's eyes suddenly condensed.
"What the sages said was all good intentions, but why did Wen thief steal it?" Fei Qian said slowly, "However, when Wen thief speaks, where is Wen's liver and gallbladder? Although the harmony is appropriate, he does not know whether it is good or bad? A small thief will lead to a great disaster, just like Bian Que's technique, it will still hurt him."
Jia Xu sighed, "I am guilty."
Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "It's wrong again. I'm not chasing you for this. I'm telling you about your faults and exhorting you. If you don't have any laws and punish them, this is a big taboo. To seek profit and avoid harm, human nature, so there should be rules to determine right and wrong. In the past, Qin Dynasty ruled the same thing, if you avoid atrocities and avoid them, you should be brave and brave. Now there is no such rule in the Han Dynasty, so there are many people who stand by and watch. Therefore, you should use laws to promote their courage, rather than blame them for their courage."
"If you say that a war will perish, you should discuss the pros and cons, and the pros and cons should be put into practice, so you will be accounted for... Fei Qian pointed to the accounts that were bound behind the guards, "or investigated on the ground... If you only have the upper part of the above, you will be punished by one sentence."
Jia Xu bowed and said, "What the lord said is very good. I am taught by the minister. Nowadays, many Qiang people have settled down and then transformed themselves. According to the lord's plan, they use Shang to promote residence, strengthen the people by staying in the country, teach them the Chinese language, and attract their elite... After three generations, they will become Han."
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
Isn’t this a good idea? This model will be used even in later generations.
Between civilizations, it is also the prey of the weak.
If you cannot stick to your own civilization, you will inevitably be replaced by the civilization of others. If you want to stick to your own civilization, you must have your own language and words, and the core values ​​condensed by your own thoughts.
Jia Xu clearly had his own ideas, but he just pretended to be a Hutu.
"Forcibly migrate, resentment will arise. Therefore, the Han Dynasty should be regarded as the most important, and the noble will come from someone else. However, where will the noble come from? If we judge by strength, who will win the Han Dynasty? Only by virtue of wisdom can we understand the truth, deal with disputes, and adhere to balance, can we demonstrate the wisdom of the Han Dynasty. "Fei Qian said, "However, if you want to be regarded as wisdom, you should learn from the inside, know the law, and understand the truth... Only in this way can you not be regarded as powerful as powerful, but civilization is the most important... Those with strong power will eventually decline, but the wisdom of civilization can be passed down from generation to generation..."
Simply put, it is necessary to throw away the so-called "aggression" remarks, but hold high the banner of "freedom", indicating that the great man came to help tribes and countries full of contradictions, class conflicts, primitive and low-technical tribes and countries, and worked together to move towards the light of the future...
Jia Xu laughed, "Lord, do you want to see Ajiesha?"
Fei Mian pondered and nodded, "It's okay, but it's not now. Go ahead a little further..."
Chapter completed!
