"This is a question." Fei Qian nodded and signaled that these civil servants should copy the topic of the policy theory. Don't forget what you want to write. Then paused for a moment before continuing, "The customs in ancient times were mostly vulgar. For example, during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were many people who sacrificed their lives for people to sacrifice... Knowing the truth, you should know why. There are many people who know this matter, but who can know where the customs come from?"

Is this...

As soon as Fei Qian asked a question, many civil servants subconsciously shrank their heads, as if Fei Qian couldn't see them.

Jia Xu, who was standing beside him, was also thinking.

Jia Xu thought that Fei Qian's meeting focused on convening gatherings of countries in the Western Regions, and explained some relevant tasks and precautions. However, he did not expect that Fei Qian did not mention the meetings of representatives of countries in the Western Regions at all, but talked about the word "rituals and customs". It seemed a bit unexpected, but when it came to my mind, it was reasonable.

It is impossible for the Western Regions and cannot be conquered forever.

Construction, development and education are the daily focus, and war is only a means to maintain deterrence, not the entire purpose.

Lu Yu raised his hand tentatively.

Fei Qian nodded and showed up.

Lu Yu said: "Because in ancient times, there were many people who were eaten? During the Zhou Dynasty of Shang Dynasty, Bo Yikao was used as a meat cake, and Guihou gave it to other countries... There was also a record of Mozi. There was a country that ate people in the south. If the eldest son of the country was born, he would be relieved and eaten, which was called Yidi..."

The history of human social development is the history of cannibalism.

From bloody cannibalism to eating people in black and white, and then to sucking the flesh and blood of people through the state violent institutions. The way of cannibalism is the development of civilization.

Anarchy is of course not advisable, but what political system can be more suitable for the current Western Regions?

"Strange." Fei Qian nodded, "Sacrificing for people is like sacrificing for three animals, all of which are caused by eating people. In ancient times, the sacrifice of "Mao" was a person or livestock, and digging out the belly and half of them and hanging them. This is a vulgarity. Then the number of people who eat people is reduced, and the first merit is the King of Zhou..."

In ancient times, the Stone Age, when productivity was too low, there was no difference between people and ordinary livestock. In the face of hunger, eating people is a small problem, or even a problem. However, with the development of society and the progress of productivity, settled people found that farming and grazing could meet people's food needs. In order to expand more farming or grazing, more people were needed, so eating people was slowly calmed down.

The most critical change was the Zhou Dynasty.

During the Shang Dynasty, there were still a large number of people sacrificed and sacrificed people. After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Duke Zhou summarized the losses of his predecessors and analyzed the governance methods of the kings of the Shang Dynasty, and concluded that the Yin was lost due to "deficiency", so he formulated a series of "ritual norms", namely the Zhou Li.

"The King of Zhou sets etiquette, but the meaning of "rituals are not inferior to common people" is not that common people do not obey the etiquette, but that the superior officials regard etiquette as punishment, and common people regard punishment as etiquette." Fei Qian said slowly, "There is a difference between the etiquette and customs of the Western Regions and the Han areas. We should also use the strategy of "no punishment as superior officials, no etiquette as common people" to make common people understand the disadvantages of customs and comfort to make the superiors know the benefits of etiquette! And why should we make the pain of understanding the disadvantages of customs and comfort to know the benefits of etiquette? These are the two questions today."

Jia Xu, who was beside him, moved his eyebrows slightly.

The first question is the general direction, and the second question is to ask about specific measures...

This is really a cavalry method, and it is so clever!

The transformation of customs is much more difficult and complicated than the transformation of the regime. However, once the transformation is successful, it is almost difficult to turn back. Just like after the Zhou Dynasty replaced the Shang Dynasty, almost no one was willing to go back to the era when they could be arrested and eaten at any time. The rituals formulated by Duke Zhou almost ran through the entire history of China's development.

Jia Xu also agreed with the difference between punishment and etiquette proposed by Fei Qian, because this would obviously have better results. The so-called "pain" and "comfort" are not simply literal meanings, just like "the punishment cannot be punished, and the etiquette cannot be compared to common people." If you think it is just that "the doctor cannot be punished or treated with common people," then such a minor official will be immediately selected and sent back, so as not to give such people the chance to become rat shit in the porridge.

The education process of the Southern Xiongnu is actually summed up with the same word "rituals and customs". It's just like most courses, copying according to the answers is of course simple, but when encountering a new problem, whether you can learn and apply it depends on your personal ability.

Jia Xu smiled, and even looked forward to what Fei Qian's third question would be...
