Chapter 909 Chapter 850 The Sky (1)
The sun sets, and the green fields in the distance sway slightly in the wind. Climbing over the hillside in front of you, you can see many wild flowers blooming. The early summer in Chengdu Plain seems peaceful and quiet.
Ning Yi and Chen Shanjun, the county magistrate of Niutou County, walked over the ridge. As they walked, Chen Shanjun pointed to the land in front of him and introduced to Ning Yi his work since arriving here.
This Chen Shanjun is in his early forties and has an upright appearance. He was born into a scholarly family and his ancestral home was in the Central Plains. He joined the Chinese army after his family members were killed by Jurchen swords. At first, he was depressed for a period of time, but after he came out of the shadows, he gradually showed his extraordinary ability in business matters, and also had his own cultivation and pursuit of ideas. He was a key cadre trained in the Chinese army. The army fought out of the three counties of Hedeng and was naturally placed in a key position.
"...After arriving here last year, I killed Huangfuyao, the big landowner who was originally here, and then gradually opened more than 4,000 acres of land. There are more than 2,000 acres on the other side of the river. The county seat There is another piece on the other side. Together, it has been distributed to the people who have worked hard... nearby villages and counties. People often came here. The Wu Dynasty regarded the people on the border as enemies and was always wary of them. Last year, the floods washed away the fields and caused disasters. The Wu Dynasty officials did not care, saying that they had taken the food from the imperial court and turned away to be afraid. It’s a black flag, hey, then let’s go to the rescue..."
"... So this year, people are united. We are responsible for spring plowing. If there is no war, we will harvest a lot more grain this year... In addition, in Zhongzhi County, the magistrate of the Wu Dynasty has never dared to take office. The bully Ruan Pingbang led a group of people to run amok and complained. Many people have come over to beg us for justice. We have been making preparations recently. If the situation is good, Mr. Ning, we can bring Zhongzhi over..."
"... Niutou County is also called Lao Niutou. Only after I came here did I realize that it was named after the hill below us. Mr. Ning, look, the main vein over there is Niutou. When we bend down here, it is One of the curved horns...the cow's head drinking water has the artistic conception of wealth and fertility. In fact, the place is also good..."
The group walked through the ridge, the river in front of them bypassed, and they could already see the sunset glowing like fire. Like bright red. Juan'er came running over from the other side of the ridge and said from a distance that it was time to eat. Chen Shanjun was about to leave, but Ning Yi persuaded him to stay: "There are still many things to talk about. Let's stay and eat together. In fact, you are the host anyway."
So he walked all the way back until he could see the bottom. Dining together in the courtyard of the county town, the red clouds on the horizon gradually disappeared, and the torches were lit. Chen Shanjun talked about the good people and good deeds that happened in Niutou County, and Ning Yi listened and smiled in agreement.
Chen Shanjun has a warm personality. He often helped people around him when he was in Hedeng County. This warm spirit has infected many of his companions. Last year, Lao Niutou divided land, reclaimed wasteland, and built water conservancy projects. He mobilized many people and had many touching deeds. Ning Yi came to commend outstanding individuals at this time. Chen Shanjun was not on the list, but in fact, many things were brought about by him. The resources of the Chinese Army are gradually not as scarce as before, but Chen Shanjun's daily style is still frugal. In addition to work, he also has the habit of reclaiming wasteland, raising chickens and ducks - of course, when things are busy, soldiers still help - After being raised, most of the meat was given to the people around him.
The Confucian education of the Wu Dynasty did not advocate excessive frugality, and Chen Shanjun's ascetic-like habits were only gradually developed after the Huaxia Army. On the other hand, he also quite agreed with the democratic thinking of everyone being equal, which had been discussed in the Chinese military. However, due to his relatively stable and restrained academic habits, he did not show his edge in this aspect when he was in Hedeng County.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened. Chen Shanjun put down his bowl and chopsticks, thought about it for a moment, and then brought up the topic he wanted to talk about.
"...In the past few years, I have always felt that what Mr. Ning said is very reasonable."
Under the eaves in the yard, torches were burning on the pillars, and the small table Next to him, Ning Yi was still eating fish. At this time, he just raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
The look on Chen Shanjun's face seemed relaxed, and he recalled with a smile: "That was...in the fourth year of Jianshuo's reign, at Xiaocang River, I had just arrived there and joined the Chinese Army, and fighting was about to break out outside. At that time...it was I listened to the third lecture given by Mr. Ning. Mr. Ning talked about the issue of fairness and the means of production.”
Ning Yi picked up the fish bones and nodded with a smile: "Brother Chen also comes from a scholarly family. There is no lectures, just exchanges... Well, in retrospect, in the fourth year of Jianshuo, the Jurchens were about to attack at that time, and the pressure was relatively high. It’s big, and it’s all about big problems. "
"No, no, no, my scholarly background is fake. I didn't read much when I was a child." Chen Shanjun smiled, "To be honest, I had some problems when I went there. I don’t really care about what I’m saying, and I don’t understand it either… …Those things didn’t suddenly come to mind until Xiaocanghe was defeated and arrived at Hedeng. Later, they were confirmed one by one. What the teacher said is really reasonable..."
He said this slowly, and his voice gradually faded. Lower your head, reach out and straighten the bowl in front of you Chopsticks, eyes are tracing back to something in the memory: "My family... has been a scholarly family for several generations. It is said to be a scholarly family, but in fact it is also a landowner from all over the surrounding areas. After reading books, people become good people, and their families Grandparents, grandparents, grandparents, parents... …They are all well-educated and good people, and they are good to the farmers at home. When someone is injured or sick, they will visit their home and give him medicine and medicine. Everyone around him praises him..."
"The family tradition is strict. Since childhood, our ancestors and fathers have said that benevolence Good deeds can last for generations to come. I have been upright since I was a child, hated evil and was not good at reading, but I have always been proud of the kindness in my family... After the disaster in my family, I felt so sad and angry that I thought of those corrupt officials and thieves I had seen. Many of the evil deeds of the Wu Dynasty, I think The Wu Dynasty deserves to be damned. My family is so kind, paying tribute every year, and donating half of our property when the Jurchens came - he couldn't protect my family. With this in mind, I went to Xiaocang River..."
He looked at the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and it seemed that Unconsciously, he stretched out his hand and touched the chopsticks that were placed slightly sideways: "It wasn't until... one day that I suddenly understood what Mr. Ning said. The means of production... then I suddenly understood that I am not an innocent person either. …”
Ning Yi nodded, eating a little slower, then raised his head and smiled: "Yeah." He continued to eat.
“You can speak beautifully, and you can continue to be kind in running the house, but those who have been working at home for generations still live in broken houses, and some people’s houses have only four walls. I will be different from them when I am born. . In fact, what is the difference? If those farm children have the same opportunity to study as me, they Much smarter than me... Some people say that this is the way the world is. Our ancestors have endured hardships and slowly climbed up for generations, and they have to climb up like this. But it is for this reason that the Wu Dynasty was swallowed up. After leaving the Central Plains, my wife, children and parents at home... should be dead..."
Ning Yi put down the bowls and chopsticks.
Chen Shanjun murmured from the opposite side: "There must be a better way, and this world will definitely be better in the future..."
Niutou County at night, cool night The wind picked up, and the residents who had had dinner gradually took to the streets. Some of them exchanged glances with each other and walked slowly towards the river. In the military camp on the other side of the county, the fire was bright, and the soldiers were gathering and about to conduct night drills.
In the yard on the hillside of Lao Niutou, Ning Yi and Chen Shanjun were sitting opposite each other. Chen Shanjun spoke his thoughts slowly with a smile on his lips. This was a friendly and calm communication to everyone.
"As Mr. Ning said, people are actually the same. If I have good things and give them to others, others will know what they are doing. If I help others, others will know how to repay me. In Lao Niutou Here, everyone always helps each other. Slowly, the atmosphere of being willing to help others becomes popular, and more people do the same. It’s all about education, but it really needs to be educated. , In fact, it is not as difficult as everyone thinks..."
Ning Yi smiled and nodded: "Actually, after Brother Chen arrived in Hedeng, he was initially in charge of business and saved a few things at home, but later You always helped everyone and gave all your things to others... I heard that when you got married to a little brother Deng, you even gave him his bed, and he lived on a broken bed ever since. Many people were touched by Brother Chen's high moral integrity."
Chen Shanjun smiled slightly: "I didn't understand it at first. It was a habit developed since childhood, and I was greedy for pleasure and life. Others were better. But later I thought clearly and no longer stuck to this. Mr. Ning, I have found a vision that is enough to devote my life to whether the bed is good or bad, and whether the tea is strong or weak. , why do you care..."
He continued: "Of course, there are many problems in this. The enthusiasm of one person or two people cannot support a big situation. Even if a monk helps others, it will not benefit the earth. It was not until a few years ago that I finally thought clearly about it.”
"What past events?" Ning Yi asked curiously.
“I had not yet arrived at Xiaocang River at that time. I heard that when my husband, Zuo Gong, Li Pin and others were sitting and discussing, they once mentioned a matter called attacking local tyrants to divide their fields. It turns out that my husband had already had a plan in mind. ...Actually, I didn’t end up until Lao Niutou. Yu slowly thought things through. Why not do it? "
"There is no distinction between people in this world, but let everyone have a place in this world. If you continue to educate and educate the people, then the world before you will be the world for the people of the world, and the world outside will be When the insult comes, they naturally move forward bravely, just like the teachings of my Chinese army. Mr. Ning, you have also seen the changes in Lao Niutou. They are no longer ignorant, and more and more people are willing to help others. They are divided. When you land, you naturally feel a sense of responsibility in your heart. With Ren Zai, given responsibility and education, they will slowly wake up and become better people... Mr. Ning, what do you think? "
In the light of the torches in the yard, Over at the dinner table, Chen Shanjun looked at Ning Yi expectantly. He is several years older than Ning Yi, but he can't help but use the word "you" as a title. The nervousness in his heart replaces the previous smile. In anticipation, what is more is the enthusiasm and enthusiasm from the heart. Sincerely, Ning Yi put his hand on the table, raised his head slightly, and considered it for a moment.
"Although there are ownerless lands in the world that can be cultivated, most of them already have owners. Many of them are not evil people like Huangfu Yao, but many are kind like your parents and ancestors. Good people, as you said, they have worked hard to save their family fortunes for many generations. When you want to fight against the rich and share the land, do you only fight against the bad people, or do you also fight against the good people?”
There was no hesitation in Chen Shanjun's eyes: "Although my family has been kind for generations, when the Jurchens came, they could not avoid it, because the entire Wu Dynasty was wrong. They acted according to the rules, and they came to this place within the wrong rules. This step...Mr. Ning, the world is already like this. If a new world really wants to emerge, there must be completely new rules. Even good people should not possess so many means of production. Of course, our methods can be more gentle for good people, but production is a waste. The fairness of information is what it should be The core of the situation."
"...Let everyone return to a fair position." Ning Yi nodded, "If a few generations pass, the smart people will go further and new landlords will come out. , what to do?"
"Everything The unfair situation all comes from the unfairness of the means of production." Still without any hesitation, Chen Shanjun replied. At the moment when he answered, Ning Yi looked at the stars in the sky outside the hospital. At this moment, the sky was full of stars. It is showing the meaning of eternity. Chen Shanjun's voice echoed in his ears.
“Therefore, the new rules should be dedicated to eliminating the unfairness of the means of production. Land is the means of production. From now on, the means of production will belong to the state and no longer belong to private individuals. However, it can also ensure that farmers Only when there is land can a country become a country for the people of the world——"
"...Hmm"
A soft sigh came from Ning Yi's throat, and at some point, Hong Ti's alert voice came over: "Li Heng."
Her figure holding a sword fell in the yard, and Ning Yi walked from the table Standing up slowly, there were faint voices from outside. Something was happening. Ning Yi walked through the yard, but his eyes stayed on the sky. Chen Shanjun's respectful voice sounded behind him.
“For more than a year now, Shanjun knows that many people including the General Staff and those who came to Southwest have made suggestions on these ideas several times. Mr. Shanjun has a kind heart, but he is too particular about right and wrong. , I couldn’t bear to see the world in chaos and blood flowing like rivers, and most importantly, I couldn’t bear to do anything to those kind-hearted landlords and gentry... Then And the world is already in chaos. For the sake of the future, how can we care about these things at this time? All people in this world are equal to each other. No matter how kind the landlords and gentry are, they should not possess so many means of production. This is the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, and its explanation is... Mr. Ning, you once told people about the change from primitive society to slavery. It was once said that the change from slavery to feudalism, where the means of production were shared by everyone, was an equally earth-shaking change... Shanjun would like to express his dissatisfaction with all comrades today. He would like to make inquiries and suggestions to Mr. Sir. Please lead me. Wait, doing this will be a great feat that will benefit thousands of years..."
His voice spoke to For Ning Yi, it seemed that the sound was far away. Ning Yi walked to the courtyard door and gently opened the door. The accompanying guards had already formed a human wall around them, and in the human wall On the other side, the gathered people were standing in the open space humbly or in panic. People just whispered and occasionally glanced this way. Ning Yi's gaze went over everyone's heads, and for a moment, he closed his eyes.
Everything still seems gentle, but behind it, there is a deep uneasy restlessness, which may be seen at any time and violently kill Feng He. Chen Shanjun in the back lowered his head and bowed, still talking: "They don't mean any harm, sir, don't worry..." Ning Yi didn't care about all this nervousness.
What flashed before his eyes was the scene when Qin Siyuan brought out the Four Books he had annotated on that snowy night many years ago. That's light.
Hey, Lao Qin.
He thought.
Look here...
The breeze of summer night is intoxicating. Further away, an army surged towards this side. At this moment, the old bull's head was like a boiling crater. A coup broke out.
This chapter should be worthy of a hefty title.
I almost forgot to say, thank you to the leader of "Talking Elbow" for the reward... What kind of leader is the reward? If I meet you in the future, just treat me to a meal...
