Chapter 2620: Benefit, what exactly is it?


    In the hall, Zhuge Liang''s eyes slowly swept over everyone.


    ?Seeing these people with various surnames who were excited because of the immediate benefits and whispering among themselves, I couldn''t help but feel a little emotional. What the Hussar General said was true at all. The world is bustling with people seeking profit.


    Everyone, everyone! 』


    ?Zhuge Liang coughed slightly.


    Everyone was more cooperative this time, stopped talking, and looked at Zhuge Liang intently.


    Of course, if Zhuge Liang was just making false promises, but did not touch on the actual points, and did not come up with some real things, these people would still just hum and haha, and they would also not have any Any specific action.


    ?Zhuge Liang shook his sleeves and took out the real thing, the secret that Zhuge didn''t tell, the art of verbal warfare...


    ?Hmm, cough.


    “Everyone, in ancient times, there were no more than one or two people and only three or four things. What the people wanted was just food and clothing, and what they needed was nothing more than shelter. Therefore, the people gathered together not for the use of things, but for survival. ” Zhuge Liang said slowly, “During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, tribes were gradually dying out. Each of the seven kingdoms had heroes who dominated the world. There were hundreds of millions of people, and there were thousands of kinds of things. However, the people could not use the things. , why? The conquests of the seven kingdoms were all used in war. 』


    『Qin’s system is to win the battle, but after the victory, it is also defeated. The root cause is the system. Zhuge Liang looked at the crowd, his voice was steady and clear, "The defeat of Qin''s system was due to the crowd. However, it was better than fighting but not defeating the people, and the system declined." Therefore, the Lord took the chariots before the Qin system as a guide, thought about the current shortcomings of Sichuan and Shu, examined the wishes of the leaders of the country and Guizhou, and considered the difficulties of all tribes, and decided on this strategy, which can be said to benefit Sichuan and Shu for a hundred years! 』


    When everyone heard this, they became even more interested and urged Zhuge Liang to continue. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said as if he wanted to end the conversation: "But looking at it now, everyone in Nanzhong seems... Haha, Liang thinks that you all don''t seem to realize the importance of this matter. You can neither take charge of the matter nor be the mastermind. You just pass on one or two words and wait for three or four to be decided. What''s the use of talking? Why don''t we just let it go and write a letter to the Lord to inform the Ming Dynasty of the various tribes in Nanzhong! As for your hard work, you might as well go to the front yard and ask someone to send you some money, food and fodder to make up for your hard work. 』


    ?When everyone heard this, they thought, What is this?


    How can this be accomplished?


    Just started with it, and then said that the surnames in Nanzhong were not taken seriously... Well, it is true that there was some lack of attention before, but this can''t be blamed on the surnames in Nanzhong, right? No one wants to be fooled, and no one will pay much attention to it until they are sure whether it is a lie.


    But looking at Zhuge Liang''s appearance, it doesn''t seem like he''s being fake.


    And even if it''s a fake, the surnames in Nanzhong can''t afford it. At the worst, it''s like conscription and labor. If it''s really not possible, just give some for the sake of the Hussar''s face, but if you don''t know what to say, , just go back like this, it’s hard to say what will happen in other aspects, but when it comes to the family, it will probably result in incompetence in doing things.


    So, you have to figure things out no matter what, right?


    It''s okay to make a few jokes and make some noise, but if you really show off and leave, you''ll offend the person and the relationship will become tense.


    So whether it was Cuan Li who was pretending to be rude or Meng Huo who was really rude, they all said that their previous words were inappropriate and Zhuge Zhi did not care about forgiveness. Then the rest of the people beat the drum and everyone agreed in unison. Go down the stairs.


    ?Zhuge Liang’s smile became even brighter and said, “That’s fine, Liang will just say a few more words. If what you said is inappropriate, just leave! 』


    Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and they were sure of it in their hearts.


    ?Zhuge Liang raised three fingers and said, "The Lord has said that people in the world, regardless of whether they are high or low, can be divided into three categories. The first is production, the second is transportation, and the third is use." Producers refer to production. All industries in the world, from east to west, north and south, including agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and mines, are all products. "Yun" refers to merchants, merchants on bridges and roads, and traders walking in the streets and alleys. They are all those who transport goods, which means transporting goods from the place of origin to people''s houses. As for using it, it’s simple. No one in the world uses it..."


    After hearing this, everyone nodded slightly. Although these people were not very clear about the dividing lines of specific industries, nor the specific concepts of the so-called primary industry and third industry, it was not difficult to understand it roughly, and they could probably understand Zhuge Liang by drawing inferences from one example. What is said. It''s just that Zhuge Liang said it''s okay, but it''s not easy for them to express it in detail. Many people just have a vague concept and some confused thoughts in their minds.


    It''s like watching a movie or TV series. It''s easy. There seems to be no problem when watching and listening, but it''s not easy to retell it after watching and listening.


    Zhuge Liang said: "In ancient times, up to Yu the Great, many people in the tribe were ignorant. They took care of both production and use, and there was no need for luck. Why?" This is because the products are very few, and there is not enough for them to be used within the tribe. Even if something is occasionally productive, it is assigned by the tribal leader to provide for the elderly and care for the young. The people of the tribe work together to face adversity. At this time, it can be said that "the able ones work harder". The three emperors and five emperors Yao, Shun, and Yu were all like this. 』


    ?Everyone has their own preferences, some like this, some like that, but in the final analysis, most of them cost money.


    As for some people saying they don’t like money…


    ?There must be something more important than money, such as authority.


    Everyone present here is from the Nanzhong family, and the issue they are considering is naturally not worrying about what to eat and wear every day. Therefore, after Zhuge Liang said these words, everyone nodded in agreement. Although these words were mentioned slightly just now, Zhuge Liang is so Once said, it seems to be more thorough.


    When "the able ones work harder", there will be harmony between the upper and lower levels, and the tribes will be evenly divided. It is natural that Dayu controls the floods and can pass through the gate three times without entering. This is the song of the world. "However, there are also disadvantages," Zhuge Liang continued, "The life and death of the tribe are all related to the capable person. "In the past, Yao''s virtue declined and he was imprisoned by Shun. Shun imprisoned Yao and destroyed Sai Danzhu again, so that he could not see his father." , it can be seen. 』


    Emperor Yao did not want to hand over the tribe to Shun, but to his son Danzhu. Unfortunately, Shun later launched a coup and was imprisoned to death, and his son Danzhu was also exiled by Shun. It is not true that Shun later gave up his throne to Yu. According to the "Bamboo Chronicles", Shun did not take the initiative to pass the throne, but was exiled to a distant place by the powerful minister Yu and died.


    "Han Feizi·Shuoyu" says: "Shun forced Yao, Yu forced Shun, Tang suppressed Jie, and King Wu defeated Zhou. These four kings are the same as those whose ministers killed their kings." 』It can be seen that the statement about the succession of Yao, Shun and Yu in "Bamboo Chronicles" is not the opinion of one family...


    "Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has been a gradual change. The period of "the able ones work more" has become the period of "the able ones get the more"..." Zhuge Liang said slowly, "At this time, the world''s living beings have gained more. Also, if the yield is large, the rest will be used by the superiors, and those who are capable will be given the land to be enfeoffed and the place to eat. 』


    It is not what one wishes when one works hard. It is acceptable for a short period of time, but over time, one must be exhausted. Jiao Huang, who was sitting down, nodded in agreement, "The Master said, "Don''t worry about being few but worrying about inequality; don''t worry about being poor but worrying about insecurity." The meaning of "equal" is not simply to be average, but to each get his or her share, which is just right. This means "the one with the ability will get more"! 』


    Yes, what Brother Jiao said is true! 』


    Yes, times have changed...』


    …


    Everyone was chirping and expressing their opinions. Most of them agree with Zhuge Liang''s statement. After all, they are all "capable people", so they naturally want to maintain "more gains".


    ?Zhuge Liang also took over the conversation again at this time, "Therefore, when things change, the rules change. Those who change can understand, and the method of understanding will win." During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many crops and good fortunes. It can be seen that Qi had fields and Qin had Lu. This matter...Brother Lu should know something..."


    ??Lü Kai, who claimed to be a descendant of Lu Buwei, was sitting on one side. Hearing this, he cupped his hands towards Zhuge Liang without saying anything more.


    Seeing that Lu Kai was unwilling to say more, Zhuge Liang didn''t take it seriously and continued: "During the Warring States Period, the seven kingdoms were large and each had their own affairs. There was no communication between them. Those who were lucky did not have to produce their own goods, but could transfer goods, buy low and sell high to make a profit. , this is also in line with the meaning of "the capable will get more"... It''s just that there are more and more capable people in the world, and eventually the seven countries will unite into one, which will usher in a new era..."


    Zhuge Liang looked around and said, "What do you think this new era will be like?" 』


    Everyone was thinking.


    "The generals who are going to be lucky are all imprisoned and slaughtered, so that the people can only produce goods. Life is a labor, and death is a labor, without thinking or asking for use?" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "Isolate traffic and trap yourself with ditches?" Strict punishments are formulated, and whoever violates the slightest violation will be subjected to corporal punishment? I dare to ask you, even if this way of governing the country is temporary, can it be passed down to the world? 』


    ?This naturally requires no debate. No one likes this system, whether it is everyone here or ordinary people.


    I have to say that although some of what Zhuge Liang said is not new, at least it is summarized well.


    “Looking at the governance of Wenjing, the whole world praises it as good. Investigating its origin, it is seeking stability after chaos, which is more important than production. Zhuge Liang said, "But the Seven Kingdoms are in chaos. Why?" Because literature and scenery are more important than production, and many people in a place claim to be strong, so it is a rebellion in the period of Xiaojing, not in the period of Xiaowen. 』


    ???Rebellion also requires capital. How can you rebel without a knife or a gun? Of course, there are many other reasons for the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang just mentioned one of them. For ordinary people, perhaps busy with their livelihood, they rarely consider these similar issues, but these people in the hall are different. Although they may not all be the leading figures of various ethnic groups, they are not small players, so what? The kind of person who can say something is naturally concerned about the rise and fall of the family.


    "Therefore, my lord has said that in this world, the most important thing is to have "many capable people"..." Zhuge Liang said slowly, "No matter production, transportation, or use, it all depends on people." The more people produce, the more the produce will be. The produce of a land will vary. Those who have more will be left over, and those who are in need will be deprived of it. Therefore, there is a flow of fortune, and everyone has his own use. This is the right principle of heaven and earth. You are impartial and impartial. You produce more. If the luck is smooth and used properly, and people can surpass the crowd, they can run rampant in the world. Those who follow the rules will prosper, and those who go against will perish! The Han Dynasty can encompass the whole world and traverse the wilderness! 』


    ?All of this is not Zhuge Liang’s boast, but the real situation at the moment.


    Feiqian Guanzhong Sanfu, Hedong Longyou, Hanzhong Sichuan and Shu invested a lot of infrastructure. With the labor of slaves and improved technology, they opened up the originally narrow passages and connected the connections between various places, making the original boundaries begin to shrink. , the integrity has been further strengthened. Chang''an Pingyang is ahead of other counties and counties in transportation, large equipment, weapons and armor, building materials, daily necessities and other industries. Coupled with the two Qinglong Temple lectures, it also has strong cultural and public opinion. No, coupled with the separation of powers from counties and counties, the restructuring of the separation of military and political affairs, and the determination of the local inspection system for gentry, even the big names in Nanzhong cannot think that everything can be done by closing the door as they did before. Pretend it didn''t happen...


    Everyone couldn''t help but become solemn.


    How to say?


    What Zhuge Liang said just now is not that no one among them can think of it, but it is not systematic and may not be transparent. After all, whether it can be thought of is one thing. Furthermore, in addition to thinking about it, it is also necessary to find specific basis and support from related events. , it is more difficult for these big surnames in Nanzhong. After all, southern China is remote and has many barbarians nearby, so its thoughts will inevitably become barbarian.


    Cuan Li, who was already a bit of a barbarian at the moment, said somewhat impatiently: "Zhuge is engaged, please explain in detail, what should be done with "many capable people"? Please enlighten me! 』


    Yes, yes, please tell me what Zhuge is doing...』


    “Hearing Zhuge’s words is like clearing away the clouds and seeing the blue sky!” 』


    …


    Of course everyone can carry a sedan chair.


    ?Intuition told Cuan Li that Zhuge Liang must have something that he has not yet discussed.


    At this moment, Cuan Li didn''t care that the clothes he wore didn''t look like Han or Yi. According to Han etiquette, his words were respectful and humble, as if he who was pretending to be rude just now no longer existed.


    "I don''t dare to give you advice..." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "I just want to discuss it with you all..."


    Everyone stood upright and listened respectfully.


    『The Lord has said that the heaven and the earth give birth to all things, but people have their spirits! Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice, "Therefore, those who win people''s souls should be as capable as they are today!" 』


    What is the "spirit" of a person? Zhuge Liang looked around and said, "In short, it is "wisdom"!" 』


    “For example, people in ancient times also cultivated fields, but can the methods used by people in ancient times be used again today? The strength of a farmer today is the same as that of a farmer in ancient times. However, the benefits of his produce are the soul of man. In the Spring and Autumn Period, copper was used to cut wood, but what about now? In the early days of the Han Dynasty, when encountering deep ravines, it was difficult to move forward, but now the Five Elements Thunder has emerged and can move mountains! These are all human spirits! 』


    Everyone immediately began to contribute to global warming.


    In the minds of the various ethnic groups in Nanzhong, especially in the minds of some older people, the Han Dynasty is still a very distant concept.


    The land of Sichuan and Sichuan is difficult to walk, and it is equally difficult to walk from Sichuan and Shu to Nanzhong. It is precisely because it is difficult to walk that I am too lazy to walk. And because I am too lazy to walk, I feel that everyone else cannot walk.


    This kind of concept has stayed in the hearts of these people in Nanzhong for a long time. The Yong family''s rebellion inevitably had this idea. They felt that even if the big Han wanted to govern Nanzhong, he would not be able to reach it for a while. Naturally, it was the local squires. Do whatever you want.


    But if it’s like Zhuge Liang’s last sentence, after these deep ravines and chasms in Sichuan and Shu are opened...


    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? With the news that Xu Huang was carrying out massive construction projects in northern Sichuan, repairing mountain roads, and widening bottlenecks, it was certainly impossible for the surnamed Nanzhong to not know about it.


    ?Everyone fell silent. Some people seemed to have understood something, but some people seemed to have grasped something, but they didn''t seem to understand it.


    Actually, Zhuge Liang has already made it very simple.


    Zhuge Liang did not talk about the more profound things, and people who did talk about them might not be able to understand them.


    Nanzhong, at best, is called the fringe zone; at worst, it borders the wilderness. In the past, Chinese people thought that the wilderness meant that there was nothing and nothing was useful, but now their ideas were gradually changed by Fei Qian.


    Barbaric means that nothing has been developed!


    Just like facing the island residents who never wear shoes, some people are pessimistic and some are ecstatic.


    ?If you want to go to the door, it is undoubtedly a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task to pry open the doors of the small island residents one by one. But if the residents of these small islands can come by themselves and queue up in front of the shops...


    ?It is actually not difficult to make such a change. All you need to do is make these small island residents feel the comfort of their shoes.


    These better-used tools, more comfortable items, etc., are all available in China.


    Sanfu in Chang''an is already despised. Things that no one likes to use can be exchanged for things in the wilderness, such as metal ores, wood spices, plant seeds, pearl agate, livestock furs, or even if they don''t exist, they can be exchanged for slave population. That’s okay!


    Which one is not profitable?


    ?Who can do it without making money?


    In the past, the Han people did not have enough for themselves. They were poor in food and clothing, and of course they could not produce much. But now with the development of agricultural industry and the increase in food production, the Han people are no longer trapped on the land. The rest of the output There will be more and more, and the products that can be sold will naturally increase.


    Paying attention to food output does not mean paying attention to it by shouting slogans all day long and then tying farmers to the land. It means that agricultural technology must continue to advance and the yield per mu can be improved. And this room for improvement is actually Very big, even a little progress can make China gain a lot.


    gyousi, was appointed by Xu Shijun, and is now the director of the Chengdu Academy. Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, looked at everyone and said, "Ran Liang checked the roster of students in the academy and found that most of them are from Sichuan, and Nanzhong... I don''t know if all of you are from family schools, can they be comparable to the academy?" If the children of the clan cannot learn, how can they acquire human spirit? This is one of the blessings of our Lord. 』


    Zhuge Liang didn’t wait for anyone to respond, and said directly: “Second. Now General Xu is opening and building a road in central Sichuan... As soon as this road was opened, the surrounding villages immediately benefited a lot. Liang will not go into details... However, the construction of this road is also time-consuming and laborious, so it can only take into account the villages and towns in large counties... Now that the Nanzhong civil register is missing, you can report it individually to determine the number of people in villages, counties, and villages for subsequent construction of roads... After all, this road is not like a tool. Once it is determined, it will be difficult to move... You must cherish it..."


    ?Everyone looked at each other. It seemed that the same front before had suddenly turned into competition with each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange.


    "The third one..." Zhuge Liang continued to smile with a friendly smile, "Of course he is the capable person in the south and belongs to all places... Do you understand? 』
