Chapter 875 Argument
Shao Xun looked calm and asked: "What is a man-made disaster?"
"I heard that the best person to serve the world is to love others." Wang Chong sneered and said: "Since the fourth year of Shengui, there have been frequent floods and locust plagues. Li Yuan is in poverty and cannot survive on his own. On this occasion, it should be Rest. However, the king mobilized all three armies to carry out an expedition and wasted money and food. "
"The counties in Qingzhou were already suffering from disasters. The old grains had been exhausted, the new grains had not yet arrived, and the people had not enough to eat. How could there be enough to sow the seeds? However, the ruthless officials were ruthless and exploited them. If they did not comply, they would be tortured. As a result, The people fled, and the crops and mulberry trees were destroyed. The disadvantages have not been eliminated. Can this disaster be worse than that of birds? "
"It has been twenty years since the king raised his army, and the world has been suffering from hardships for twenty years. Three years of floods, one year of great epidemic, the reason why God warned us, but what use is the rescue method? If we don't change course and rest with the people, the landslide will happen. The ground is not far away. Once this disaster comes, it will be too late to regret it.”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back.
When Bian Tao heard this from below, he almost applauded him.
Well said, well said! Shao thief claims to be a lover, but he has waged wars for many years and injured countless people. Is this a lover? Keep talking, talk hard, see if Shao Thief can still hold it in his face.
Wang Yan's face turned gloomy. He doesn't care whether he loves others or not, all he cares about is family interests.
He turned his head slightly.
One person understood, stood up and said: "You talk about man-made disasters, but you don't know about the disasters caused by Gou Xi and Cao Yi?"
Cao Yi in the audience: "..."
"Who are you?" Wang Chong glanced at him and asked.
"Langya Yanzhong." The visitor bowed and replied.
Wang Chong looked Yan Zhong up and down and sneered, "Could he be from the 'Yan Concubine' clan?"
Yan Zhong suddenly became red and warm, clenching his fists with anger.
This guy's mouth really stinks! Today you were torn apart by five horses and no one was there to cry out for you.
The so-called "Yan concubine" is a shame for the Langya Yan family.
In the past, when Wang Hun of Taiyuan was the governor of Xuzhou, he chose a daughter from the Yan family of the local Langya Kingdom to marry his second wife.
During the salute, Wang Hun was about to pay his respects, and the guests present all said: "The princes, generals, and citizens of the bride's state may have no reason to pay their respects."
Wang Hun actually stopped and did not let the wedding be completed. Later, Wang Hun's son did not bow to his father because he did not respond to the courtesy and was afraid that he was not a couple, so he called him "concubine".
The Yan family was just a low-class noble family. Although they were deeply ashamed of it, they did not dare to leave because of the noble Wang family in Taiyuan.
At this moment, the Yan family's status has been improved, and Yan Han (who once joined the army for Sima Yue) who crossed south to Jianye is developing well, but the shame of the year is still there and has never been forgotten.
It can be seen that the Wang family in Taiyuan was defeated by Shao Xun, and the Yan family celebrated.
When Yan Zhong was angry, he couldn't care about anything else, and said: "In the past, Gou Xi was doing things in Qingzhou, killing people at every turn, and was very cruel. Why didn't the Wang family get rid of the harm for the people?"
"Cao Yi occupied Guanggu and accumulated millions of millets. Why did the Wang family of Chengyang sit back and watch? How could this disaster be solved?"
Cao Yi twisted his body uneasily.
Two old maids! Fortunately, you are still scholars. Why are you quarreling with shrews and constantly throwing dirty water? Can you be more graceful? Can you please not accidentally injure others? Several people have already looked at me, you know?
Wang Yan was also a little helpless.
Yan Zhongzhong was loyal enough, but he couldn't keep his temper, and he was suddenly provoked to anger, so that everything was in chaos and he was called a shrew, which was really unbearable.
"Gou Xi and Cao Yi controlled Qingzhou. Even though they had all kinds of bad things, they did not disturb the people." Wang Chong said without answering Yan Zhong's question.
Yan Zhong was very happy.
The word "people" is so wonderful.
In the past, the Yan family was just a small noble family at the bottom, and the Yan family's daughters were called "people of the state". What was the "people" in Wang Chong's mouth?
Yan Zhong was just amused and didn't really laugh, but the warriors opposite him all laughed.
"Gou Xi chose thousands of beauties and enjoyed them day and night. Isn't this disturbing the people?" Chen Yougen couldn't help it and sneered.
"Gou Xi also killed people for no reason. I remember that some nobles were also killed, right?"
"Cao Yi, has Gou Xi's beauty fallen into your hands?"
"It's so shameless for you to eat alone."
Cao Yi: "..."
He was really hurt.
If I had known this, I had made up my mind back then to massacre the Chengyang Wang family at all costs, so as not to be criticized now.
Shao Xun glanced at Wu Ren and his laughter gradually stopped.
"It's good not to disturb the people." While everyone was laughing, Yan Zhong calmed down and said, "But I don't know what the king meant by not disturbing the people?"
"Recuperate and rejuvenate, and rule by doing nothing." Wang Chong said matter-of-factly: "Let the scholars in the world live in good land and spacious houses, and have boats and carriages to travel around, which is enough to rest from the four bodies of work. If you raise your relatives, you will have a delicious meal, and your wife and children will not have to suffer. ”
"Studying in the villa in autumn and summer, there are clear springs, lush forests, bamboos, trees, pines and cypresses, as well as fish ponds and earthen caves to entertain the eyes and the heart."
"In winter and spring, I gather with my friends and watch the wilderness, feeling like a wanderer, and return home having fun."
"Officials in counties and counties often visit famous people, consult on political affairs, and serve as subordinates to benefit all people." As soon as these words came out, many scholars changed their view of Wang Chong and felt that he was not the kind of person who wanted to please others.
The vision he proposed has existed since ancient times and has always been the ideal life of scholars.
After doing this, you no longer have to be an official. Are you tired? Isn’t it good to indulge in pleasure?
Of course, there will always be someone in the family who will be burdened with becoming an official, and it will be good if others can help.
Furthermore, even if you become an official, you don’t have to do anything.
These days, there are not a few officials who ignore political affairs all day long. They are tired, vulgar, bitter, and boring. It is better to take powder and drink.
The military attachés sitting behind Chen Yougen and others were furious.
Who are they? Trackers who are injured and injured, farmers who work hard all day long, soldiers who have been slaves for generations, and refugees who are struggling to survive.
We are all human beings, so why can scholars be so dissolute and enjoy life wantonly? And they are struggling on the edge of life and death?
In the past, I had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow when I saw these scholars. Others treated you like air and could be rubbed at will.
But now? With sharp blades in their hands and murderous intentions, they have the ability not to kneel down, and they have the ability to destroy the beautiful manor life of the scholars.
Someone stood up at that moment. It was Ji Shu, the leader of the Silver Spear Military Building. He was heard saying angrily: "In the past, I worked hard all day long in Luoshui to stretch fiber, and could only barely eat. In a year, there are only social days, Zhengdan and sacrifices. When the River God is here, we can get some meat. When the Xiongnu came, we fought hard to drive them away. Why do you have food on land and water, but I don’t? Why don’t you share it with me?”
< br>
"I'll eat if you give me some." Although the words are rough, it is the simplest and most direct request of the new martial artists.
They are not communists, they also want a better life than ordinary people. However, the number of warriors is very large. There are tens of thousands of soldiers recruited, and there are fifty or sixty thousand soldiers in the government. Together with their families and tribes, the number of direct beneficiaries exceeds one million. Compared with the benefits that scholars only enjoy, this is certainly not small. progress.
As for improving the living standards of all people, we need to remove obstacles and promote the two-year and three-crop agricultural production model to as many people as possible to harvest more food - generally speaking, under today's circumstances, only homesteaders can benefit. However, the villagers and serfs had better forget it. If they harvested more grain, it might not be theirs.
"There are differences between scholars and common people, why should we say more?" Wang Chong glanced at Ji Shou and said: "To understand the serious diseases in the world and to find out the benefits and diseases of Li people, what can a soldier do?"
Ji Shu was suffocated.
Yan Zhong sighed secretly. What the hell is this soldier doing by himself? What a bad thing!
He just wanted to pursue and fight fiercely, leaving Wang Chongli speechless. It would be better for you to let him successfully change the subject. At this moment, he didn't know what to say, because he also felt uncomfortable with Cai Jishou's words.
It is a fact that there are contradictions and conflicts between scholars.
But the soldiers jumped out and blatantly demanded a share of profits. Even though Yan Zhong was a more realistic person and believed that this move was inevitable, he still wasn't happy to be shouted at in person.
That is to say, based on practical considerations, he felt that he should appropriately give up some benefits and tolerate it for the sake of the country, but this did not mean that he agreed in his heart. This was just a choice made out of desperation due to the huge destructive power of the warriors.
To a certain extent, Yan Zhong and Wang Chong are the same kind of people, except that one is more realistic and willing to adapt, while the other lives in his own world, accepts death and refuses to adapt.
Shao Xun coughed slightly and said: "It's a long way off topic."
Ji was startled, turned around, bowed, and sat down again.
He is good at killing people, but his ability to talk and fight is too weak. If he continues talking, he may be stunned by others.
Shao Xun's eyes fell on Yan Zhong again.
Yan Zhong understood, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said to Wang Chong: "You just mentioned man-made disaster. Is it a man-made disaster by the Huns? In the past, Cao Yi suppressed Qingzhou, plundered the people's fat and anointed people, and lost everything to Pingyang. Is this not a man-made disaster?"
Cao Yi secretly wiped his sweat.
Too dangerous! The quarrel wouldn't have gone to the end, the two of them were fine, but he was captured on the spot by the soldiers to settle old scores, right?
"Liu Jing, a member of the pseudo-Han clan, drowned 30,000 people in the river in Liyang. Isn't this a man-made disaster? That's why I didn't sink you into the river, so that you can speak nonsense here today." Yan Zhong continued.
"Wang Mi killed countless people from Sizhou in Qingzhou."
"Liu Cong's troops surrounded Luoyang, and countless members of the clan and common people died."
"Even the children of famous families are not immune to the battle between Dayang and Changping."
"Shi Le occupied Yecheng, and all the well-dressed gentlemen entered his camp, and were forced to help Zhou do his evil."
"What's the solution to this disaster?"
"Four years ago, Tuoba Yulu had already planned the Southern Map. Without King Tigo's bravery and fighting to the death, would you have been able to enjoy peace in Yingling?"
Wang Chong glared and said that even if the Xiongnu and Xianbei took over, they would still have to recruit scholars to work for them, and they would still be free. But these words are unpleasant to say, and they don't have much confidence - the barbarians will definitely want to win over the nobles, but accidental injuries will inevitably occur in the process. As for who will be injured, it is difficult to say.
But he just wasn't convinced.
The theory of the manor proposed by Zhong Changtong of the Later Han Dynasty, the beautiful picture of "a life of freedom, looking down on the sky and the earth; not being responsible for the time, and living forever" was engraved in his heart like a stamp of thought.
The self-sufficient manor is the pure land where he rests his body and mind.
In the manor, he had no worries about food and clothing, lived a prosperous life, had countless people serving him, could read and play, and his thoughts could even travel outside the universe, imagining the mysteries of life, so he was not allowed to be blasphemed by others.
He would scold anyone who wanted to demolish the manor, because this would destroy his faith.
Shao Xun, who was sitting at the top, glanced at Wang Chong expressionlessly.
He settled the situation too quickly and protected these scholars too well. The Wang family in Yingling has never suffered. If Shihu invaded Qingzhou and fought against Cao Yi in succession like in history, Wang Chong would not dare to think so.
"Your Majesty." Jin Zheng, who had been silent just now, suddenly stood up and said, "Send this guy to Liyang and find someone to sink into the river."
