One Thousand Two Hundred and Five: Zhao Shao's Death (3)

Why do kings throughout the ages want to bind their people to the fields?

Not only for the convenience of ignorant people's rule, the more critical reason is the lack of farming labor!

Not enough food produced will starve to death!

During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, business also flourished for a while, but why did the kings of all countries tacitly suppress merchant groups?

Isn't it to let the merchants who have entered the industry return to the fields, and let the guys who have not entered the industry continue to be farmers in peace!

Encourage business development, sooner or later there will be big trouble.

Jiang Pengji smiled and asked, "Why does Wenbin think that the fields will be abandoned? If one person can grow food that can support tens of thousands of people, how can one person easily cultivate hundreds of thousands of acres of land? At that time, there will be no shortage of people for farming, and the surplus young and strong Naturally, we have to find another way out—”

When Han Yu heard this, he almost got angry with Jiang Pengji.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was still a captive (shēn), he would have wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave in anger.

One person supports thousands of people?

Cultivate hundreds of thousands of acres of land by one person?

Wake up, daydreams haven't woken up yet?

Han Yu felt that Xu Pei was not considered a family member who didn't work hard and didn't know the grain. Compared with the person in front of him, he was very spiritual.

At least maybe Pei would not say such nonsense that was even more absurd than "why not eat (meat) mince".

Jiang Pengji didn't seem to notice Han Yu's livid face, she said, "I know you think my words are ridiculous, but Wen Bin, never limit your imagination. Things (feelings) that you think are absurd may not exist. I That said, that's the future."

Han Yu sneered and changed the subject stiffly.

"What about the second one?"

"The second is the common people. There is nothing to say about the specifics. It can only be summed up in four words-opening the wisdom of the people. You also know that precious books are almost monopolized by the gentry. It is nothing short of whimsical for ordinary people to want to read and write. If there is no special opportunity, at least Damn, I can only read two characters, and it is impossible to reach the level of high talent. If one day, ordinary people can afford books and go to academies, it will not be far from truly enlightening the people's wisdom." Jiang Pengji is kind and good Blackened Han Yu, "Of course, according to Wen Bin's thinking, if everyone reads, no one will be willing to be a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky, and the fields will be abandoned—"

The corners of Han Yu's mouth and eyebrows twitched strangely.

Isn't this guy talking so much just to recruit himself?

Is this solicitation or enmity?

Shame on him in person, is this really a man?

Han Yu snorted coldly, noncommittal.

However, Jiang Pengji's explanation of "common people" has nothing to do with it.

Whether it is opening the Jinlin Pavilion or the Jinlin Academy, or even exploring a new education model, this is her sincerity.

She used actions to fulfill her promise of "opening up the wisdom of the people", and there is nothing to criticize.

Jiang Pengji continued, "However, to put it bluntly, once the people's wisdom is opened, the country will usher in a change. The emperors throughout the ages have said that they want to open the people's wisdom, but in fact no one wants the people to really open the people's wisdom. Not only worry Everyone goes to study instead of plowing the fields, and what is even more fearful is that the people will feel unbalanced after enlightening the wisdom of the people. Kings and generals, would they rather be kind? Why are the people on the dragon chair born to be emperors, but they themselves are born to be farmers? With this idea, the subversion of the country is only a matter of time."

Han Yu was shocked when he heard this, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of disbelief.

Jiang Pengji smiled, "But I'm not afraid."

Han Yu restrained his previous evaluation.

How can a person with such insights be such a naive person who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish between grains and grains.

"Everyone (loves ài) rights, but is there really such (attractive) people for this right?" Jiang Pengji sneered, with a disdainful look on her face, "To rule the world and ascend to the throne, this is the task I have to accomplish in order to achieve my goal. It's not my ultimate goal—opening up the wisdom of the people is only a part of the plan, and I'm not afraid of the people to overthrow the dynasty. Because backward products that don't fit the times should be eliminated—"

Jiang Pengji's words were somewhat difficult for Han Yu to understand.

He was a little confused.

However, according to the literal understanding, he could barely understand three points.

Jiang Pengji said, "The above two points, their practice is inseparable from the third point - technology."

"Technology? What?"

Han Yu was puzzled, how could there be such a word in this era, it was unheard of.

Jiang Pengji simply used a vocabulary that Han Yu could understand.

"It is similar to Investigating Things and Zhizhi, but the two are different."

Han Yu frowned and listened carefully, forgetting to find fault at the moment.

"The methods of science and technology are all-encompassing. Farmland water conservancy can be called technology, and heavenly creation can also be called technology. It is a combination of skills and theory." Jiang Pengji continued, "I just said that one person supports thousands of people. , Cultivating hundreds of thousands of acres of land, this is not my nonsense, if the technology is sufficient, it will be realized. When the land, people, and technology reach the level I said, the revolution will prevail, and then it will be real' The timing of the coming of the law. The king's authority is lower than the 'law', and he fears the 'law' even more. The gentry and nobles are no longer unattainable, and the people can use the 'law' to punish their mistakes. That is in the future, not now."

Following Jiang Pengji's last words, Han Yu's complexion turned pale.

Jiang Pengji said, "I know what Wenbin is after, I can understand, but Wenbin, ask yourself now is a good time to practice the 'Dharma' in your heart? Even if I support you with all my strength, the nobles will not spare you. If you die Chensha, your 'dharma' will naturally become empty talk, like that mirage, the eyes can see the shadow, but the hands can't touch the reality."

His "Tao" was so denied by Jiang Pengji, Han Yu's feeling can be imagined.

He said angrily, "Mr. Lanting is so eloquent, but what he said can't be done?"

Han Yu's "law" is different from the "law" of legalists. The "law" he wants is true justice and selflessness, and all privileges are unfeasible.

Jiang Pengji stretched out her hand to him, Han Yu was stunned for a moment.

"You can't achieve it now, but you can lay the foundation for those who can achieve it. This is the inheritance." Jiang Pengji said, "Everything I want is destined not to be seen in this life, because it takes too long to realize it. But I can pass this ambition on to my successors. Isn’t it because the dead leaves of old trees nourish the soil that new trees can germinate? Wenbin, your ideal is unbearable in this era. One mistake—no, it should be said that there is nothing Suspense, if you practice it, you will end up dead without a whole body."

Han Yu said, "If you can be martyred, your life will not be in vain!"

"Isn't your original intention of pursuing 'Dharma' just to use 'Dharma' to bring peace to the world? It's not the right time, and your doing so will only cause turmoil ((turbulent dàng) dàng), isn't it the opposite of your original intention?" Jiang Pengji said, " One of the "laws" is broad and profound. Maybe you can spend your whole life not being able to see all of it. Wouldn't it be better to be down-to-earth and step by step? Ideals and reality are always different—"

Han Yu was silent.

He thought Jiang Pengji was innocent, but now he saw that the innocent person was himself.

"Yu has another question, can Lord Lan Ting solve the problem?"

Jiang Pengji said, "Ask."

Han Yu said, "Yu seldom discusses Taoism with others, and very few people know about it. How did Lord Lanting know?"

Jiang Pengji: "..."

Ah, I can't bear it any longer.

Do you want to sell Zixiao?
