Chapter 83 Win-win
On the Spring Festival of February 2nd, Shao Shude personally came to the rural areas of Lantian County to work hard!
At the same time, the queen also condescends to the nobles, milks herself and demonstrates!
The emperor and the empress performed so hard, naturally showing the importance of agricultural production to the people of the world. At the same time, it also endorses the new agricultural production model-
In at least two-thirds of the northern regions, animal husbandry has become an important part of farmers' lives. Even in rural areas where three-crop rotations are not fully implemented, the proportion of livestock breeding has increased significantly.
This is the change brought about by the grassland-agricultural dual empire.
The Han land and grassland are no longer clearly distinguished. There are more or less farming and animal husbandry, but it is the main one if you die.
The increase in agricultural output has given the entire society greater room for support for people who are not directly engaged in agricultural production.
This is a very positive progress because more resources can be invested in the fields of art, science, education, etc. Social progress requires these, and people's lives also require these.
At the same time, this is also a worry. In the long run, it will cause a population explosion.
Of course, dialectically, most of the things in the world have pros and cons.
Population explosions have its disadvantages, but naturally there are its benefits.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many countries.
If a person commits a crime in his own country, he can flee to another country.
A talented person is not valued in this country. He can change his country and may become more developed. If the tree is moved, the people will live.
In the classical era, Daxia had its own limit of rule. If it exceeded this limit, it would be impossible to manage. If it was lucky, it could be controlled by ruling. If it was unlucky, it would be directly divided and independent. If it was called emperor and king, what could you do to me?
For a family, this is certainly not a good thing, because someone is challenging your authority.
But for ordinary people, if there is still a second country with the same language and similar cultural customs, you have the right to choose.
If you don’t stay here, you will stay here. I will go to that country, with the same language and writing, the same customs, and the same race. I can integrate into it without any effort and start a new life.
This theory was developed in later generations to "expand the land under the sunshine of the XX nation" - it may not be the same country, but it must be the same nation.
Shao Shude did not write the above benefits in "Theory of Population", but those who read this book are all human geniuses, so how can they not see it?
As an emperor, he betrayed his butt. He has considered it for you, what else do you want?
As the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Shaofu continued to print day and night, the book "Popularity Theory" began to spread to various states and states after being circulated among senior officials. More and more people read it, and naturally there were many opinions.
This is what Shao Shude wants.
Debate the scriptures and defend me. After too many arguments, a considerable consensus will naturally be formed. The content of the book "Theory of Population" can be changed, but he doesn't mind. As long as it makes sense and conforms to the facts, it can even change the name.
He wants to make immigration a string in the mind of the ruling class, and it is always tense. Once a certain place becomes densely populated, it will be immigrated by the official or private organization. Over time, there may be some results.
If more than tens of millions of Chinese people live in Central Asia, they may be unified by the Central Plains dynasty in their later generations in this time and space, and there is a great possibility that they will evolve into another country. For the people and scholars, this is not a bad thing, and the only possibility that they will suffer is the royal family. Because they have a competitor, although their opponents are weak, they will still be scruples and cannot do whatever they want, because the people of their country may vote with their feet.
*******
February quickly passed by.
On the first day of March, after the grand dynasty meeting, Shao Shude convened officials from the Political Affairs Hall, Lifan Courtyard, and North and South Courtyard to hold questions in Yanying Hall.
"The Wei tribes can't stand it anymore." He put a military newspaper on the imperial case and said, "We all discuss what to do."
He was formerly a Taoist scholar and political scholar in Liaodong, and currently the deputy envoy of the Lifan Academy. He was nearly 70 years old and wanted to speak out but stopped. He actually didn't want to discuss the Wei Dynasty. He wanted to argue with the saints about conflicts in people and places.
The book of the saint is not very suitable for his appetite. Because he is worried that those who immigrate will not be disciplined, lawless, and the court will not be able to collect taxes and collect military servants, which is a waste of people.
"Your Majesty, you may imitate the old Jurchen examples and divide the Wei Pagoda lands into each of them, and set up a governor and a governor." Yang said.
"What's the reason?" Shao Shude asked.
"Shi Wei was not defeated, but he took the initiative to surrender after he could not stand the harassment. He still had his own strength. One of them." Yang said: "Shi Wei has already surrendered many of them, each with rewards. The old rules are here, so it is difficult to change them. The second one."
"Not proper." Before Shao Shude could speak, Zhong Jinxian spoke immediately, and he heard him say: "I have been in Liaodong for many years and know that it is rich. If you hold a handful of black soil, you can produce oil. Even in the extremely cold places such as Zhengzhou, you can grow wheat in a season of one year, and you can earn two hu of wheat acres acre, which is much higher than the Central Plains. And the Wei Wei is close to you. If you let it flow, it will become a disaster in decades. At that time, it will be unsightly. It is better to be in one step, do it to the end, and do it to the end, imitate the old examples of Ji Nan and Ji North. Each tribe only sets Yi Li Jin and divides grasslands and does not cross the border. But Duncheng is close to you, and you can send an assistant official to assist Yi Li Jin in depth and strengthen control."
Upon hearing this, Yang bowed his hand and said nothing.
In fact, he was a little hesitant and wanted to get it done in one step. But in this way, a large-scale war would inevitably break out, giving Abaoji a chance.
He knew very well how the imperial court forced all divisions to surrender this year--
The king's army had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and brought 50,000 horses to the expedition. After reaching Liaodong, he conscripted another 50,000 or 60,000 horses, divided them into several stocks, and chose a place with abundant water and grass to herd horses.
After the horse was fat and strong, it launched a large attack and continued to harass.
Especially in spring, the grassland herders are extremely busy and have endless work to do. But at this time, the horses are skinny and the horsepower is the lowest in the year, so they suffer many defeats and have to run away.
But as soon as you run away, the losses are huge. After being fucked like this for a whole year, someone tentatively surrendered.
"Your Majesty, Master Zang is rare to be confused. This time it makes sense." Li Tangbin said carelessly: "No matter what he thinks? Fight first, be honest after the fight. He will be willing to do whatever you say. The prince is good at using troops and is good at encouraging morale of the army. In my opinion, taking advantage of the cold weather on the grassland, the cattle, sheep and horses will lose weight, and they will be cruel, and they will not dare to grin on their teeth."
Shao Shude laughed.
The martial artist speaks directly and confidently.
The more than 30,000 soldiers and horses the prince brought, 22,000 were imperial guards. At present, it seems that his combat power has not degenerated and he is still very brave. At least, in the battle between small and medium-sized (hundreds of cavalry, thousands of cavalry), Shi Wei fled in a silence. The large-scale battle is not that he doesn't want to fight, but that he doesn't give you a chance.
"Just practicing, letting your men practice, so as not to forget how to fight." Ren Yuji also agreed with Li Tangbin's opinion.
As for the martial artists, they still pay great attention to the combat effectiveness of the army. The imperial guards are the peak gathering of national military power. Fighting from time to time can indeed effectively prevent their depravity.
If the imperial guards are unable to fight, their voice in the court will be weak, which is not in their interests.
"Your Majesty, I also think I can go deeper into the control of the Wei tribes in the room." Zhu Shuzong, the Privy Councilor of the Southern Ya Shangyuan, said: "Liaodong is not the Liaodong in the past. There are nearly one million households in the twelve prefectures and sixty-six counties, with a household registration of nearly one million, and more than one hundred and fourteen thousand households. It produces rice, wheat, millet, soybeans, and marsh heads. If you include Andong Prefecture, you can use 75,000 soldiers. We have a strong capital, so there is no need to be polite to the Wei people."
"Chen Qing, Zhao Qing, Du Qing, what do you think?" Shao Shude turned to the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall who didn't speak much and asked.
"I'm going to discuss it." said Chen Cheng, the oldest qualified person.
As soon as he spoke, the others naturally did not refute.
"That's it." Shao Shude made the decision, then looked at everyone again and asked: "Liaodong has been developing for twenty years. Now he knows the benefits of immigration? If there were no such twenty years of operation, I would have to pinch my nose and recognize the fake surrender of Shiwei people. I will be the one who has been appointed as an official and make a wish to stop rebelling."
"Other, think about it. If the nearly two million people in Liaodong were placed in Henan and Hebei, how much trouble would it cause?" He said again: "If you grab water and fight for land, you will not be able to eat enough and grow taller. In the end, you can only reduce your number by fighting each other. But in this process, how much loss will the people in the clothing and clothing lose?"
Nearly two million people in Liaodong Road occupied only three Jinshi quotas and one agricultural quota, but they raised 65,000 soldiers, producing tens of millions of hu of grain annually, as well as inexhaustible fish, hay, medicinal materials, and prey. In recent years, even mining, iron smelting, copper smelting, and the Ministry of Revenue has also opened a money supervision, and the Bohai Trading Company has continued to distribute dividends to everyone.
The most important thing is to give some examples to immigrants - or colonization - the benefits of these things can be seen as long as they are not blind.
"I have already made some things clear." Shao Shude continued: "It's not that I'm intimidating you. In less than a hundred years, when your grandchildren are still alive, you can see the densely populated areas of Henan, Hebei, Hedong, Guanzhong, etc., which is more, or even much more than in the previous Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. Some knowledge concerns your wealth, lives, and family continuation. Shouldn't it become a popular academic? Shouldn't all the scholars in the world understand and learn?"
"Your Majesty." Zhong Jinxian wanted to refute, but he felt that the saint's words had some truth. For a moment, he could only say: "The book written by Your Majesty is indeed deafening, but the content is too simple and thin. If you want to elevate it to classics, you may still lack it."
"Isn't you going to argue?" Shao Shude smiled and said, "This book needs to be perfected by scholars all over the world for me, or it may be one of the most serious ones."
The imperial examination system of Daxia was inherited from the Tang Dynasty. He was a Jinshi and a Mingjing student theoretically had to take two major classics ("Book of Rites", "Zuo Shi Chunqiu"), the three middle classics ("Mao Shi", "Zhou Li", "Yi Li"), and the four small classics ("Book of Changes", "Shangshu", "Gongyang Spring and Autumn", and "Guliang Spring and Autumn"). There were a total of nine "serious classics" - the importance was from large to small, sorted in sequence.
"The Analects of Confucius", "Laozi", "The Book of Filial Piety" and so on are classified as "Miscellaneous Sutras". It can only be said that they are basically not tested, and occasionally some questions come from these books.
Among the Confucian classics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Four Books are not within the scope of the examination. Among the Five Classics, the Book of Rites, the Spring and Autumn Period, were considered "big classics" in the Tang Dynasty, the Book of Songs is "middle classics", the Book of Songs, and the Book of Changes are "small classics".
If you look closely, the difference is still very big. Because there was no such thing as the "Four Books" during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it would take until Zhu Xi, the master of Neo-Confucianism, became famous.
From the key points of the exam, we can judge that the three views of scholars in the Tang Dynasty and scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are definitely different, because their reading focuses are different. Perhaps it was because Li Shimin advocated "learning from history", and three versions of "Spring and Autumn Annals" were created in the "serious" chapters of the "serious" of the Tang Dynasty, which is really amazing.
How can I say the book "Spring and Autumn" generally talk about the history of Lu. There are also historical books in other countries in the same era, such as "Cheng" of Jin and "Jiaowu" of Chu.
"Cheng" was burned by Qin Shihuang, "Jiaowu" has been lost, and only "Spring and Autumn" has been completely passed down.
In addition, among the hundreds of theories, Confucianism finally won, so the "Spring and Autumn" is naturally included in the textbook as a classic.
But, is there any need to make three versions?
Shao Shude doesn't want to overstimulate Confucian literati for the time being, because it is of great use to them. But it is not too much to remove two of the three "Spring and Autumn Annals" and stuff his own private goods into it?
After all, the imperially designated textbooks are not exactly the same in every dynasty. As the founding king, he had the qualifications to designate textbooks - didn't Zhu Yuanzhang regard the imperially designated Four Books and Five Classics as the scope of the examination? This was not the case in the Northern Song Dynasty. "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" were still "combination classics" and not "great classics".
If the goal can be achieved in the end, Shao Shude thinks it can be regarded as a "win".
Zhong Jinxian obviously thought of this.
In his opinion, among the nine serious works, it is acceptable to remove "Gongyang Spring and Autumn" and "Guliang Spring and Autumn" from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Even if the "new scriptures" that are recommended by the saints, it is also a "small scripture" and does not hurt the roots - in today's world, it can be considered a "win".
Everyone wins, wins, it's great.
