Chapter 2470 Vase and Pearl


    Confucian culture has done a lot of damage to China, but at the same time, its contribution to Chinese civilization cannot be denied.


    Old Master Kong is not rigid. When it is time to be tough, he is not fake when he is confronted with a knife and gun, but he is also cowardly when he should be cowardly.


    On the one hand, Mencius strictly distinguished the class status of the rulers and the ruled, arguing that "those who labor with their minds govern others, and those who labor with their strength govern others."


    There are also people like the vicious Xunzi, etc., who can see the dialectical thinking contained in his theory, which divides affairs into two, does not favor a certain aspect, and does not go to extremes.


    In the early days of Confucianism, most people knew and practiced the golden mean without going to extremes, and understood the importance of "degree". Party struggles began to go extremist, and the imprisonment of ideas reached its peak, and instead became shackles on Chinese civilization.


    Finally got smashed open.


    Everything was lost without mercy.


    After losing it, it seems to be relaxed, and then it is easy to float away. Looking back, I found that some of those shackles were actually made of real gold, so why were they discarded? Can''t it be melted down and reused?


    Those golds are "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness". After the moral constraints are completely gone, there is really no emphasis on it. It is only for profit. It is not ashamed to steal, but it is proud to cheat. Everything is based on money, laughing at the poor but not laughing at it Prostitution.


    Have a degree in your heart, and you will not cross the boundary.


    This degree is also on Zhen Mi and related big men and women.


    Fei Qian believes that as long as he reveals a little bit of meaning, many people will send Zhen Mi to Cao Cao and Cao Pi in history, and send the woman in front of him for nothing...


    It''s like Jia Xu sent Yami to the Hussar Mansion.


    For Jia Xu and others, Yami is more like a symbol than a person.


    Even if Fei Qian''s soul comes from later generations, he has to admit that Yami''s ability can be replaced, and all replaceable things, no matter people or things, are not worth much.


    Therefore, if Yami wants to be respected, she must show her self-worth in a limited space and time, otherwise she will be like the labor force who enters the factory in later generations and become a part of the Fiqian political group and even the entire Han society. The humble screw.


    People''s desire is the most powerful, but also the most humble. When Fei Qian was in later life, he often saw the news of some young people dying suddenly, especially those who died of intensive labor in a certain factory. They can go back to before the high school entrance examination, will these young people who do not pass the entrance examination work hard to change their destiny?


    Maybe, maybe still not.


    Because there are definitely people who will regret every night for not working hard during the day, and then fall asleep drowsily. When they wake up, how many people will remember what they regretted yesterday?


    If you work hard, you may get rewards, but if you don''t work hard, you will definitely not get any rewards.


    Now, Fei Qian is very happy to see Zhen Mi''s efforts, instead of lying down and letting others do things.


    When a person can overcome his own desires, he is great; when he is ravaged by desires, he is humble. Everyone has the desire to possess things or people, just like there are many things in the supermarket, all of which are good and can be used, so is it natural to exercise possession?


    Whether Zhen Mi in history tried to work hard, Fei Qian is not sure, because the records in the history books are contradictory, and the records are terse and dry, which must be very popular with those readers who shout for water all day long.


    Zhen Mi''s whole body seemed to be shining under the sun.


    Even from the perspective of Fei Qian who has seen many beauties in later generations, Zhen Mi''s appearance is really very beautiful, but it is not the kind of simple and breathtaking coquettish, but with a kind of elegance and euphemism. To find a plain and appropriate adjective is pure.


    Especially her makeup is just right, it not only highlights her characteristics, but also doesn''t look like some makeup is so exaggerated that people are speechless, especially some so-called rich makeup, it is really not a face, just a shave up.


    Zhen Mi puts on lightly powder and daisy, which does not cover her delicate skin. On her smooth forehead, there is a small flower in the middle of her eyebrows, which complements her straight nose bridge. Her eyes are black and white, and her red lips and white teeth are just right.


    Beauty may be given by nature, but the wisdom behind the beauty is the wealth accumulated the day after tomorrow.


    『Civilian women can serve the generals, set up business regulations, add new orders, promote female officials, new policies! ”Zhen Mi said decisively, her voice was crisp and clear, like pearls rolling down on a jade plate, her eyes revealed firmness, “Minister women were born in Jizhou, and they are well aware of the customs of ladies in Shandong!” I can make suggestions for the general''s new policy and do my best! 』


    Wen Yan Feiqian couldn''t help secretly applauding in his heart, she really is a woman with an exquisite mind!


    This makes a little sense.


    Just like ordinary farmers think that the emperor is plowing the land with a golden **** in the palace, and many people think that the superiors have sperm in their heads and want to vent to women all the time. In fact, the most important thing for a ruler is not wealth. and beauty, but authority.


    As long as there is authority, what kind of wealth and beauty will be missing?


    After the relationship is reversed, isn’t it putting the cart before the horse?


    What Zhen Mi said happened to fall into Fei Qian''s long-term plan!


    For the current Chinese civilization of the Han Dynasty, in order to make it have a strong outward aggressiveness, it is necessary to refer to some cultural aggression methods of later generations, and among these methods, the cultural erosion with women and children as the main target undoubtedly has A very strong lethality.


    A civilization that wants to have a strong outward expansion and merge weak cultures must be strengthened in two aspects, one is the invasion of customs and habits, and the other is the merger of spiritual thoughts.


    In terms of customs and habits, what is needed is simplicity and tolerance. The simpler, the more tolerant, the more effective. Simple but not tolerant, it is easy to cause conflicts, just like the braids of the Qing Dynasty. ? However, it failed to integrate well with China''s original customs, which led to large-scale conflicts. If Kang Mazi hadn''t reversed the policy direction and deliberately reconciled the contradictions between them, the Manchu rule would not be able to continue.


    Inclusive but not simple cultural power cannot be imitated on a large scale, and the effect is not good, such as Zheng He''s voyages to the West. Zheng He did not make many mandatory changes to any political system or organizational structure in the Nanyang area. Apart from lamenting the strength of the Ming Dynasty and making some tribute as soon as possible, those Nanyang countries did not form a powerful way to spread Ming culture. Erosion of these weak cultures eventually allowed these countries in Southeast Asia to form some of their own cultural characteristics.


    These ideas may have certain imperfections, or some mistakes, but at least the direction is generally correct, and its correctness has also been reflected in the process of enlightenment by the Southern Huns. The Five Gods do not reject the shamans of the Southern Huns, and the simple and easy customs of the Han people are gradually replacing the original living habits of the Huns. These actions are reflected in the specific life of the people, and they are very gentle. , there is no compulsion, only temptation...


    For example, you will be praised for wearing Hanfu, you will be praised for speaking Chinese, you will be recognized for the benefits of speaking Han, and you can even get rewarded tokens for swiping a short video advertisement. This way of getting extra benefits as long as you change your habits and customs is far better than the method of forced conversion, beheading if you don''t shave your head, and it is easier for these nomads to accept.


    But on those higher levels of civilization, it is brutal killing and replacement.


    All the pearls of language, philosophy, mathematics, etc. based on civilization and culture will be annihilated mercilessly. For example, the education carried out by the Japanese in a certain place in the later generations, as well as the cultural plunder and indoctrination model of the beautiful country, once they find the signs of the other party''s culture rising, they will do everything possible to kill it...


    Therefore, Fei Qian wants to think that in this era, in the link of the strategic layout of Chinese culture''s outward expansion, the role of women is very powerful...


    It’s not that women of other ethnic groups are plundered by violent means like nomads, but in a softer way, such as similar to later generations…


    Yami has assumed such a symbol.


    A whole new experiment.


    What Fei Qian didn''t expect was that Zhen Mi also seemed to have vaguely touched the vital point of Fei Qian hidden under the gorgeous robe.


    Fei Qian smiled, and stretched out his hand to invite Zhen Mi as if treating an official official, "Come here!" Get another brocade pad! Please take your seat, Mrs. Zhen! Serve tea! 』


    Very good, worth talking about in detail...


    If you are just a vase, you will only get a placement at most, but if you are a pearl, it is naturally worthy of being inlaid on the crown!


    …(*≧∪≦)…


    As the Grand Theatre of the Qinglong Temple is approaching, many people have traveled thousands of miles to Chang''an in an attempt to get a share of this grand cultural ceremony.


    When Guan Ning came to Lu Yu''s temporary residence on the edge of the Wei River, he looked at this small courtyard. Although it was not a multi-level courtyard, but seeing its exquisite tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, Guan Ning couldn''t help but admire: "It''s a beautiful courtyard." . 』


    It''s not that Guan Ning is ignorant. Guan Ning has traveled all over the years, not only to Chang''an, but also to Xu County in Yecheng, but this is Chang''an after all. Under Fei Qian''s governance, some details The thing that inadvertently showed the original majestic spirit of the big man.


    Chang''an was originally the capital of the great Han Dynasty, and it was also very prosperous for a while. The youth in Wuling, with light cars and fragrant horses, also led the fashion of the times. These architectural systems around Chang''an also inherited the style of the year, and were later destroyed by the war. , and then changed his style again at the moment.


    Lu Yu smiled and said, "You''an can see the beauty of this place, but not how expensive it is!" Fortunately, my late father was so famous that he rented this courtyard at half the price. Otherwise, he would have a fortune and would not dare to live here for a long time. 』


    Guan Ning and Lu Yu were very familiar with each other, so they sat hand in hand, "Oh? What is the price of such courtyards? 』


    『One hundred thousand. ’Lu Yu said with a smile.


    Guan Ning took his long beard out of his arms and stroked it out, "Isn''t it very expensive..."


    『This is rent. ”Lu Yu gasped and said the second half of the sentence, “Looking at Xianyan, renting someone at a low price will cost 40,000 yuan...” The reputation of a scholar disciple can not only be used for discounts, but also can be exempted from capital punishment. There is nothing unusual about a big man. Lu Yu didn''t take advantage of others for nothing, it was a mutual benefit to some extent. Of course, if Wang Chang hadn''t made a slight appearance in it to help, Lu Zhi, who had died for a long time, might not have been worth so much money.


    Guan Ning obviously did not expect the price to be so high. With a trembling of his hand, he almost tore off a few beards, which made him shiver with pain.


    You must know that the annual salary of a hundred shi is calculated based on the average rice price of a big man, and the annual salary of a hundred shi is about 40,000 to 50,000. This small courtyard is almost all the income of ordinary low-level big man official apes!


    And it’s half price, if it’s full price rent, even two employees, er, two hundred-stone officials may not be able to afford the rent!


    From such a perspective, it seems that there is a feeling that the fine traditions of China are inherited in one continuous line...


    『Why is it so expensive? ! Guan Ning couldn''t believe it.


    After all, in other places, even in Yecheng, depending on the size of a courtyard, it only costs 200,000 to 500,000 yuan. As for the courtyards of powerful families, it cannot be measured by ordinary prices. up.


    Lu Yu smiled, shook his head, and sighed, "And this place is only for rent and not for sale!" Now that the Qinglong Temple is approaching, if it weren''t for... I''m afraid it would be hard to find a place to stay. 』


    Guan Ning also sighed with emotion.


    What Lu Yu said is indeed true.


    With the increase of the foreign population, within the Chang''an area, including the Wuling area, the price of the rent is rising. For Lu Yu, who can have a small courtyard and is close to the Weishui River, it is very convenient in terms of scenery and transportation. , is even more sought after. Guan Ning couldn''t find it anywhere around Chang''an, so he had the audacity to find Lu Yulai to live with him.


    After the two sat down, they exchanged pleasantries for a while, and it was time for dinner.


    Lu Yu asked people to prepare some dishes and drinks early on, but now he asked people to light candles, and then served them all.


    Not long after, large and small bean plates were placed on the table, bottles were laid, some fruits and vegetables were placed in the lacquer plate, and wine was still being boiled in the clay oven beside it.


    『Isn’t this drink illegal? ’ Guan Ning asked.


    Lu Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "You''an forgot that the Hussar General''s celebration is coming? Even if there is no celebration gift, Chang''an Sanfu has never banned alcohol. 』


    Guan Ning raised his eyebrows, "Never stopped drinking? 』


    Guan Ning is not very clear about the situation in Jiangdong, but he knows that alcohol is prohibited in Cao Cao''s territory, at least the ostensible decree prohibits alcohol.


    Then, are these bans really for everyone?


    Obviously not. Under Cao Cao''s rule, those who could drink alcohol didn''t care about those prohibitions, but those who had a sip all year round rarely got a sip, and were driven to death by one or the other bans.


    At the same time, drinking is not allowed, which means that the so-called remarks and expectations that the Shandong gentry have always believed that Guanzhong Sanfu lacks food and grass are all false!


    And what this means, both Lu Yu and Guan Ning are clear in their hearts.


    The two of them were silent for a while.


    After a while, Guan Ning spoke again, asking about Lu Yu''s shocking incident before.


    Regarding the matter of life and death, although Lu Yu tried his best to not care about it, how many times can he actually experience life and death in his life? Is it possible that you really don''t care? Therefore, when Lu Yu told the story now, some details were still clearly remembered.


    Unknowingly, Lu Yu immersed himself in his narration. After more and more details were recalled, he suddenly noticed a problem, that is why those people held weapons and why they were in Chang''an City. Hussar General Fei Qian did not elaborate, but simply issued a notice of treachery.


    Is there anything strange about this?


    This sudden thought caused Lu Yu to pause unknowingly in the process of narrating, and then pondered for a long time without speaking.


    Although Guan Ning didn''t quite understand why Lu Yu suddenly stopped, but looking at Lu Yu''s expression, he could guess what Lu Yu was thinking about, so he naturally shut up and didn''t disturb him.


    This kind of sudden thought, in fact, often occurs among literati. For example, Guan Ning once had a few times, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in the middle of the sentence, and thought of half of the poem he wrote before. Yu is normal at the moment, even abandoning her friends and rushing to find pen and ink...


    『...These traitors, could they be...』 Lu Yu suddenly stared at Guan Ning, "So the Hussars didn''t mention where they came from? 』


    "what? Guan Ning was a little stunned at first, and then reacted, his face changed slightly, "No way? Big...it shouldn''t be so low...」


    『If it wasn’t him, who would it be? ’Lu Yu said, ‘Seeing this big talk in Qinglong Temple...I’m afraid...how many people are restless? 』


    "This..." Guan Ning fell silent. He didn''t dare to say that this matter must be related to some people or not. After all, Lu Yu was the person involved, and he had just arrived in Tongguan when this happened. It''s not clear what happened at all.


    It''s just that the more Lu Yu thinks about it, the more he feels that there is such a possibility.


    After all, if there is no such thing as suspicion, it will be fine. Once it rises from the heart, it will be difficult to get rid of it, just like a neighbor''s suspicion. Lu Yu feels that this matter must have something to do with Cao Cao or the Shandong gang. People are inseparable from each other, and these people behaved like this, especially when Lu Yu, as a representative, went to investigate those poor children who were injured and mourned in the Hundred Medical Hall. A ball of anger...


    『Many people in Shandong have raised dead men and colluded with knight-errants... 』Lu Yu said in a deep voice, 『Now seeing the prosperity of Qinglong Temple in Chang''an makes Shandong lose its commentary, how can it be tolerated? It’s hard to say that such people... were not aimed at us in the first place, but just happened to meet them...』


    After hearing this, Guan Ning had no rebuttal. Because what Lu Yu said was also true.


    Today, the cultural peak of the Han Dynasty has gradually shifted from Shandong to Shanxi, and to Guanzhong Sanfu, it seems that it has attracted Lu Yuguanning and others, and gradually attracted all kinds of talents from the Han Dynasty. How can the people from Shandong in the Holy Land and the Fairyland of Confucius and Mencius swallow this froth?


    The two of them fell silent again, feeling a little sad for a while.


    This kind of feeling is like a high-end casing and camera, but the result is a low-end chip and memory, which makes people feel somewhat uncomfortable.


    Suddenly, one of Lu Yu''s attendants suddenly came from outside the courtyard, and he hesitated a little in front of the hall.


    『It doesn’t matter, You’an is now, there is nothing to say...』 Lu Yu waved his hand and said.


    "yes. ”The follower responded, and then some very complicated expressions appeared on his face, “Report to my lord…the city is in chaos again…”


    "Ok? 』


    『It is said that several Shandong students had an argument with someone in the Hundred Medical Center, and then they started fighting...』


    "what? 』
