Chapter 2448 Composition to make friends
It has to be said that in any dynasty, equality and freedom, or similar topics, such as human rights, will attract a lot of people to agree, and it is easy to stand on a high moral position and give oneself a sense of compassion. And take it for granted to point out what others do.
?Many people know that there is no so-called equality and freedom after birth.
Let’s not mention the inequality of wealth. Even if we are in the same place, the same family, or even the same big family, why can others be taller and have longer legs, while I am short and thick-legged? Why is it that others are as beautiful as a flower, but when it comes to me, I am just as beautiful as a flower? Why can other people be born smart and understand everything in class, but I have to do the exercises ten or eight times and still can’t figure it out?
This is not fair!
But the problem is that most things, even birth, old age, illness and death, will gradually become unfair with the development of science and technology in later generations, let alone in the Han Dynasty?
??Are these guys who were inspired by Qinglong Temple really asking for life for the common people and complaining about the injustice of the people?
Obviously, not.
?But some people just pretend to be confused, thinking that only by talking about fairness and criticizing bad government can they show their style of scholars and understand the meaning of sages...
So, those who pretended to be confused and deliberately led a group of those who were really confused, created quite a trend in Qinglong Temple.
In human history, most dynasties had a governance model when they founded their country, whether it was active or passive, and this model was often changing.
The initial system of the Han Dynasty had distinct characteristics of the Qin Dynasty. Its main economic foundation and social structure were derived from and inherited from Shang Yang’s design concept of a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy and society. Politicians in the early Han Dynasty have always emphasized that "people and farmers are the foundation of the world", and this is indeed what they did.
The governance model formed by the farming-oriented idea is reflected in the self-sufficient small-scale farmer ownership system that combines farming and weaving, and has been developed. However, it should be noted that it is not the existence of such a system that leads to the self-sufficient development of the small-scale peasant economy. It is the conditions of such an economic foundation that give rise to such a system.
At the end of the Warring States Period, a large number of old aristocratic groups were defeated in the war. In addition to a large amount of land being released, a large number of tenants, prisoners, and slaves who were originally attached to the old aristocratic and old manor system had their personal freedom rights restored. In addition, there was a special pardon order in the early Han Dynasty, which stated that anyone who sold himself into slavery because of hunger would be pardoned and become a commoner.
There was a large amount of free land and a large number of people who were eager to acquire small plots of land for farming. This was the basis for the vigorous development of the number of self-cultivators in the early Han Dynasty and the implementation of a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy.
Since the landlord class was not developed at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, even during the Wenjing period, it was even said that there was "no harm from annexation." From the emperor to the military veterans and local officials, they all relied on taking advantage of the small peasant economy. People pay taxes to live, so records of how much food someone eats and how many households are often found in history books.
Therefore, in the early Han Dynasty, the small-scale peasant economic and political model was indeed good, and the policy of not disturbing the people was indeed reasonable.
What about now?
?The annexation of land in various places has reached a very terrifying height. A large number of people have been hidden by manor tyrants. All output is no longer attributed to the state for overall distribution, but has been intercepted into the pockets of local tyrants. Local powerful people even try to use their wealth and population to bribe, threaten, and intimidate the country to change the laws according to their wishes in order to obtain more privileges and benefits.
And what about these guys Zhou Quan?
They sang about human rights in a high-pitched voice, saying that they were one of the people who had been discriminated against, as if they had never discriminated against anyone, nor exploited ordinary people. The reason why they came to Qinglong Temple and expressed all kinds of comments with their deafening voices was that For these injustices in the world, it is the same as upholding justice for the unjust people. It is a model of selflessness and the inheritance of the disciples of sages.
In fact, one after another, they are all hiding their greedy and despicable faces under the glossy surface.
Or in other words, a typical double-labeled dog.
?For example, at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, he felt the suffering and difficulty of the people all over the world in war, and felt that it was reasonable for water to be able to carry and capsize a boat. This meant that officials in various places should treat the people well and not pretend to be condescending and granting gifts. But later on, some people began to think, why don’t these **** know how to be grateful? We need to let the people be grateful, let these untouchables know who is their master, and have a special time for Thanksgiving every year. Like some other country, we need these **** guys to learn to be grateful...
Have these people who are eating, drinking and sucking blood ever been grateful to the hardworking people for their hard work? You don''t even bother to express your gratitude on the lips, and you still want to let the common people who have shouldered the biggest and most heavy burdens be grateful for the master''s blessings?
Are there any problems with Fei Qian''s new land policy? Will it harm the interests of some people?
Definitely there is, and it definitely will be.
Are there any problems with the examination system promoted by Fei Qian? Will the true level of some people not be shown during the process?
There must be, definitely.
But let’s go back to the previous sentence.
Will there be equality and fairness in this world?
Absolute, of course, is impossible, but even if it is relative, it is very rare to have a little bit of relativeness in the relative.
And most of them, just like these people who have been encouraged by Zhou Quan, will not even fart with their **** closed when enjoying the super treatment, but if some slight injustice happens to them, they are clamoring that they wish the whole world would know about it. .
This is a very typical microcosm of the descendants of the Han gentry. Their dissatisfaction with the system is not that they really think there are problems with these systems, but more that they feel they are wronged. They expect themselves to be equal to the people at the top, and at the same time I feel that the bottom class should always be one level lower than them, or several levels lower.
So when these people gather together, no matter what they say or do, they always act weird.
Just like the people who were mobilized by Zhou Quan in Qinglong Temple right now, they thought that a dozen or twenty people could represent the entire Han Dynasty. The buzzing of complaints was actually accusing Fei Qian and showing that he was a talented person. , but was ignored by Fei Qian, and then the pearl fell into dust.
??God is jealous of talents, God, this is so unfair!
Singing poems to complain is basically a compulsory course for the children of the gentry, but can they have the abundant literary talent like Qu Yuan to produce masterpieces that will be passed down through the ages? Do they have the kind to fight with death if there is injustice? Determined, they can only gather together and lick each other to comfort their weak hearts.
??When these people are giggling, it is not that no one is disgusted. After all, in Qinglong Temple, not all of them are losers. Most of them are people who want to make progress and seize opportunities. For those who want to upgrade, fairness or unfairness is not the focus, but whether there are channels for upgrading!
As there is often a saying in later generations, if a progress bar can be displayed in reality, everyone must be able to become a great master in something!
?So these people who are eager for promotion basically don''t bother to complain and complain, and even feel a little bored and angry. General Fei Qian of the Cavalry did not force everyone to take the exam. He just gave him the opportunity. Those who didn''t want to go or felt that they didn''t want to get the salary of the Cavalry just didn''t take the exam. What''s there to complain about?
??You want to be an official with a salary, but you don''t want to take responsibility, you are unwilling to work hard, and you don''t even have the most basic personal abilities. What''s the point of complaining?
??However, most people belong to the spiral of silence and will not take the initiative to criticize or refute, so this small group of thoughtful people have become louder and louder, as if they have become representatives of the whole world.
But there is one person who feels that Zhou Quan and others are an eyesore...
This person is Ni Heng.
To be honest, Mi Heng was somewhat reluctant when he first came to Qinglong Temple. After all, Mi Heng still has the noble ideals and demeanor of a literati, who does not compromise for money.
But after arriving at Qinglong Temple, he faintly fell in love with this place.
?The collision of various ideas and the excitement of debates were not only not found in Pingyuan County, but he had not even seen them in Yecheng!
?This is actually a sentence, "If you have a solid warehouse, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace."
The place on the plain is not bad, but it cannot be said to be very good either. Even in Ye City, only a small number of people can talk about food and clothing. More people, even the Jizhou gentry, are still under the rule of Cao Cao and have the fear of being oppressed and replaced by the Yingchuan gentry at any time. If I am uneasy, how can I still have the energy to discuss and argue with You Heng on some academic issues and the understanding of the scriptures?
??However, it is different here in Chang''an, especially in Qinglong Temple, or in other words, since General Hussar "sent" You Er to him as his partner...
??Well, that''s what Mi Heng thinks anyway. Although he is Yun Er''s deputy in terms of position, Mi Heng thinks that he is the one in charge. What, is he wrong? Then he discovered that Yun Er actually began to listen to the debates of these people from Qinglong Temple with interest, although Yun Er could not understand them at all most of the time.
This is obvious. Because Yun Er was so excited when he first heard it, he now seems to understand it but not understand it.
Of course, Mi Heng and the surrounding gentry disciples had to accommodate Yun Er, and no longer spoke difficult-to-understand words, but spoke in simpler terms, otherwise Yun Er would not have given them Stamp the permission to debate, but without the permission to debate, you can only stand outside in the corridor or square like Zhou Quan and his gang...
?This gave Mi Heng a hazy feeling in his heart, as if it was what the Cavalry General Fei Qian wanted to express through such behavior, and then he guessed a little but not completely of that feeling. In addition, Mi Heng went to Qinglong Temple almost every day and regarded Qinglong Temple as his home in Chang''an. When he saw a group of people like Zhou Quan making noise, he suddenly became a little angry.
Mi Heng, who originally had a very flamboyant personality, stood outside the crowd and sang loudly and unceremoniously when he saw the amateur player Bibi...
The sandalwood is cut down in the ridges, and placed on the dry side of the river. 』
Mi Heng clapped his hands and made gestures, as if he were really cutting sandalwood in the woods. His voice was high-pitched, like gold and stone striking each other. The crowd immediately moved aside and gave way, attracting the attention of many people passing by.
The sandalwood is cut down in the ridges, and placed on the dry side of the river. The river water is clear and rippled. 』
"If you don''t farm, you don''t have crops, how can you take three hundred grains of grain?" 』
"If you don''t hunt, how can there be a county in Hu Zhan''erting?" 』
That gentleman is not a vegetarian! 』
ifies Inc.
?Before, Bei Feng was the complaint of the nobles, but now this Fa Tan is the complaint of the working people at the bottom. Especially since it closely follows the previous chants of Zhou Quan and others, it seems to have a unique flavor. Moreover, Mi Heng did not use a long sword as a musical instrument like Zhou Quan and others. Instead, he simulated cutting down trees with his bare hands, which was in sharp contrast to Zhou Quan and others.
Mi Heng sings about cutting sandalwood. Naturally, it is impossible for him to raise a long sword like Zhou Quan and others. After all, what kind of long sword can the working people use?
Chopping wood is pretty much the rhythm.
After you finished singing, Mi Heng said loudly: "My father was a woodcutter in the mountains, and he often sang like this!" Someone is after the woodcutter! That gentleman is so unsatisfied! Go! Go! 』
?Once the spiral of silence is broken, someone will basically immediately follow up and speak out, "Jia Yan is half a hundred years old, and he is still cultivating the fields!" I am the queen of farmers! That gentleman is not a vegetarian! Go! Haha, let’s go! 』
Immediately, more people began to laugh, and they all expressed that they were not so-called "gentlemen". They said that they were born as grooms, carpenters, and even shepherds. Then they followed Mi Heng and shouted at Zhou Quan and others. "Let''s go, let''s go!" 』
The Han Dynasty was an era when the gentry and aristocratic families flourished, and it was a stage when local powerful people tried to control the court. After three to four hundred years of gestation and development in the Han Dynasty, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the gentry and aristocratic families took shape, and the classes were solidified. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that they consciously broke...
Therefore, at this moment, some people are shaking their heads at the powerful families, and naturally there are also some people who are deeply disgusted with the evil of the clan, such as Mi Heng. In Yecheng, he deeply felt how outsiders were driven crazy by the locals taking advantage of various advantages, so he hated these guys even more who claimed to be descendants of the gentry and flaunted themselves but did nothing.
Mi Heng at least thought of raising the voice of the middle and lower class people to avenge them, but these guys just want to benefit themselves by using the name of the middle and lower class, just like those guys in Yecheng!
?Hence Mi Heng sneered unceremoniously, even showing some hatred, seeming to recall how he was driven crazy little by little by such a guy in Yecheng...
Who would like to be a madman if he has a normal life?
As long as it can give a little hope, it won’t drive people crazy!
Mi Heng, who came from Yecheng Jizhou, and the poor disciples who gathered around Mi Heng all felt the same way. If these guys who talk about people but do nothing about people could give him a little space, they wouldn''t have to do anything. Come to Guanzhong Sanfu from afar!
How many people are there like Zhou Quan? It will still be there until the next generation!
Just like in later generations when they see someone jumping off a building, most people are surprised and regretful. If not, they just walk away numbly. But there must be such a group of people standing below, pulling their necks and shouting the loudest, "Jump!" ! I have taken off my pants, why don’t I dance!
Such people, whether in ancient times or modern times, are not welcome.
『We are not famous people, nor are we filial and honest! So I came to Chang''an to try it out! Mi Heng said with a sneer, "You are all celebrities in this place. You have cars, horses, homes, and property. Have you ever discussed fairness with woodcutters and farmers in the fields?" ! If not, how come the three assistants in Guanzhong came to talk about equality? ! You vegetarian gentleman, why not go home! 』
He said "go back", but the way he fluttered his sleeves was basically like saying "go away gracefully".
Mi Heng struck Zhou Quan and others at the critical point of their theory with a knife, causing these people to get stuck. After muttering for a long time, they all turned to look at Zhou Quan...
After all, this matter can be considered a thorough one.
Zhou Quan was helpless, coughed and said: "You are Zhengping... I am here to meet friends through writing and talk casually... This doesn''t have to be like this?" 』
As soon as these words came out, the momentum of the people around Zhou Quan dropped by half, but there was nothing Zhou Quan could do about it. His experiences were just exaggerated. He could still deal with the simple-minded people around him. If he wanted to make Ni Heng How can we convince people like this if we don’t come up with something real? But the problem is, if you want to talk about real talent and real products, it’s not comprehensive!
Either the **** likes mung beans or the flies like rice fields. These guys gathered around Zhou Quan may have some lack of ability in other things, but their ability to coax people to put themselves on the shelf is top-notch. Maybe they are convinced by Zhou Quan. Feeling that he had lost face, perhaps because he felt that the thorough and thoughtful remarks he made before were showing modesty, he rushed to the side and said: "We will make friends through literature!" If you are Zhengping, you might as well create the Wenxian Co-Prosperity Concept, right? 』
Is Mi Heng still afraid of this? He immediately said proudly: "Here comes the title!" 』
?Zhou Quan wanted to stop him, but couldn''t. He was so embarrassed that he couldn''t hold back the smile on his face.
The people around him were already thinking about common topics such as mountains and rivers, palaces and buildings, and green pines and orchids. People often wrote poems about them. I thought that Mi Heng must be familiar with them, so he was a little confused for a while, but he couldn''t think about it. After waiting for too long, I saw someone with a parrot among the onlookers watching the fun, and he pointed at it casually, "How about parrots as the theme?" 』
?In the Han Dynasty, parrots were rare birds. If Fei Qian hadn''t opened up Sichuan and Shu, it wouldn''t have been so easy to see a parrot among the three assistants in Chang''an!
What’s so difficult about this? Mi Heng rolled up his sleeves and said, "Bring me some pen and ink!" 』
In the short period of time when the pen and ink were delivered, Mi Heng had already typed up the manuscript. After receiving the pen and ink, he started writing directly, without adding any points to the text, and the pen continued to add...
"Only the spiritual bird of the Western Regions, with its natural and strange appearance..."
"Therefore, the sound of admiration is far and wide, and the appearance of great spirit is commendable..."
ification of poverty, assignment, isolation, loss of friends. Close it in a carved cage and trim its wing feathers..."
『If it were Shaohao Sichen, he would be gathering and trimming his bridle...』
"I feel the place where I travel in my life, just like the Xunchi''s phase..."
Under the eloquence, a piece of "Ode to a Parrot" jumped out!
There is also a disciple on the side. Every time Mi Heng writes a sentence, he recites it loudly, and everyone in the square stops to listen. However, Mi Heng''s "Parrot Ode" just fits the aspirations of many children from poor families, and expresses in a tortuous way the insecurities of being born. The indignation and accusation against the world at every turn, and at the end the parrot''s gratitude for its loyalty to its owner, are in line with the worries, joys, helplessness and hope that many children from poor families currently feel when facing Fei Qian''s examination system. , the extremely complicated mentality immediately aroused a lot of resonance. After Mi Heng finished writing, they cheered and applauded!
?At this time, someone went to find Zhou Quan, only to find that Zhou Quan had already greased the soles of his feet while Mi Heng had attracted attention!
??The troublemaker ran away, and the remaining ones couldn''t compete with Mi Heng in the ring. Suddenly they were so gray that they didn''t dare to let out another fart. Amidst the laughter of everyone in the square, they scurried away...
