Chapter 879: How can a princely scholar compare with a talented person?
Have food in your hands and don’t panic in your heart.
Of course Governor Feng understood this very well.
He even understood: preparing for war and famine is for... well, for the world.
Liangzhou has been in turmoil for more than a hundred years, so the great and fertile land has been wasted.
In this era, the ability to resist natural disasters is already insufficient, coupled with the enhanced effect of man-made disasters.
A small natural disaster can easily be magnified into a large-scale disaster that displaces people.
So whether they are as large as the imperial court or as small as a local official, not only sincerely thinking about the people, they just want to maintain the stability of society and the people.
The long-term solution is to vigorously develop productivity and greatly improve the ability of society and people to resist risks.
Just this method, in ancient times when the literacy rate was extremely low, if you want to have obvious results, you have to greatly extend the time line.
At least measured in units of hundreds or even hundreds of years.
In addition, the production relations in ancient China were too precocious, so when society developed to a certain extent, it would hinder productivity.
So in history, any reform that wants to liberate productive forces and break the old production relations will inevitably encounter great resistance.
Most of the time, this kind of reform or change can only be carried out passively and slowly.
As for any other methods?
Of course there is.
The most obvious method is to turn on the infrastructure mode.
At the level of this era, building water conservancy is the most effective infrastructure.
But for Feng Jishi...only children can choose, and of course adults want them all.
Ten years ago, there was a plan to pry the corners of the family, and it took ten years to finally forge the weapon of Xinghanhui.
For this era, the Xinghan Hui headed by him is the representative of advanced productive forces.
You're not welcome to this at all.
It is precisely because he is a representative of advanced productive forces that he can deal with the barbarians in Nanzhong and the barbarians in Liangzhou.
It can even force a considerable number of aristocratic families to take the initiative to transform.
Since the long-term direction has been grasped, it is natural that the remaining infrastructure models cannot be left behind.
Great order comes only after great chaos.
Although the white disaster that occurs once in a century cannot shake the foundation of the aristocratic families, it has a considerable impact on the Hu tribes in Liangzhou and a considerable number of lower-level Guizhou leaders.
It was big enough to give Feng the chance to reorganize the social resources of the middle and lower classes in Liangzhou.
The Liangzhou Prefecture of the Han Dynasty was very grateful to the Han Dynasty for providing relief work and opening up infrastructure, so that a large number of people and barbarians could have enough to eat.
As long as you can let the old man survive in the disaster, you can be a good official even if you hug your lovely wife and concubine every day.
If there is no way for people to survive and the people are really hungry, who cares whether you are an honest official who eats grass roots or a corrupt official who eats carnivores?
To them, meat-eaters are just the same thing.
As a well-known conscientious official, Governor Feng naturally cannot be that kind of person.
After the spring plowing in Liangzhou, even if Governor Feng secretly took his family on a spring outing, he would still be a good official to the people of Liangzhou.
But he can be lazy, others may not have such good luck.
For example, Martin and Li Ming are among others.
Because after spring plowing, we must seize the time to build water conservancy projects to lay the foundation for farming in the coming year.
The next two to three years will be a critical window period that determines whether Liangzhou can become a truly fertile land.
The reason why Li Ming complained to Ma Tian that he came to work as a coolie was because he and others had to participate in the construction of water conservancy projects.
It's not the kind of standing by the water and gesticulating, let alone the kind of sitting in an official office and giving orders.
But the kind that has to go to the scene and personally organize the workers to rush to work.
To put it bluntly, they are used as minor officials.
It’s no wonder that Li Ming complained like this.
But for the children of aristocratic families, it is a tiring and hard work. How many people are willing to start from a small official position?
If you don’t believe it, just look at the scene in front of you.
Those young gentlemen wearing futou, who were obviously educated, actually rolled up their trousers, ran into the muddy water, and ordered the people to dig ditches.
Even some impatient ones even picked up the tools themselves and started working.
What about the reserve of you scholars?
Where is Sven?
Are you mud-legged?
"Did you see that?" Ma Tian raised his chin and pointed at the eye-catching young men, "If my guess is correct, those must be students from Nanxiang Academy."
“Well, Feng Mingwen, even the students he brought out use this method, I’m afraid he’s really serious about it.”
"At that time, if we are not willing to put down our dignity, then his students will have nothing to say after passing the exams in the first three months."
This is an upright conspiracy.
What's more, while the sons of aristocratic families are not willing to suffer this hardship, those who come from poor families may not be willing to do so.
As long as you grit your teeth and pass the exam two years later, what if you can really get a good background in the future?
More importantly, no matter how reluctant those members of the aristocratic families are personally, what about their own family?
How many families took advantage of the great benefits that King Feng Gui brought to their lips just a few months ago?
Those benefits have not been fully absorbed yet.
If they really dare to say that they can't do it and sneak home, the leaders of the clan will probably hang them up and beat them!
If you really don’t do it, won’t the benefits gained by that clan have to be vomited out?
A family that has been popular for hundreds or even hundreds of years may misjudge some things before the general trend is clear.
So they all like to be prepared.
But after the general trend is clear, if they still don’t understand the choices and priorities, then they are not worthy of hundreds of years of romance.
Since the founding of the country by Liu Bei, Ji Han has plundered the money of Shu families and used it for the country.
When Zhuge Liang was in charge of Shu, he was famous for attacking powerful people from prominent families in Shu.
The most important thing is that Feng Yong, known as Xiao Wenhe, took advantage of Xiaoguan's victory and entered Liangzhou.
At the same time that Liangzhou began to take exams and select talents, it also offered huge benefits that people could not refuse.
For Shijia Haoyou, this feeling is like eating honey with **** on the outside.
It's disgusting, but if you really want them to give up eating it, they won't be able to bear it.
At that time, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty had to close his eyes and swallow it if he wanted to take advantage of King Feng Gui's dividends.
Now it’s finally Liangzhou Family Haoyou’s turn to do it again.
As for whether the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty did it intentionally or not, it is unknown.
Anyway, the Prime Minister is already used to it, or has to get used to it.
I think I will get used to it after coming to Liangzhou Family.
Many people in the Liangzhou family also saw clearly that Ji Han could not give in in attacking the powerful rightists of the family.
After all, the Later Han Dynasty indulged the powerful for two hundred years and allowed them to grow into aristocratic families. What was the result?
The family lay on the Hou Han's body and sucked up enough blood, then watched with cold eyes as the Hou Han fell suddenly. Some people even thought it didn't fall fast enough, so they stepped forward and gave it a push.
So, how could Ji Han, who claimed to be of the same lineage as the two Han Dynasties, make the same mistake again?
Although in recent years, the Shu family has not failed to emerge, not to mention the Li family in Longxi, which has suddenly turned around in recent years.
But this only shows that Ji Han saw clearly that the aristocratic family could not be completely eradicated.
It cannot be said that Ji Han will not restrict or restrain the aristocratic family.
Under this general trend, Feng Gui Wang held a big stick in one hand and honey in the other.
Those who are obedient will be given sweets, and those who are disobedient will be like the big house of the Li family in Sichuan, who was driven to a corner with a stick to beg for food.
So now, while the children of the aristocratic family still have an advantage, finding ways to take the lead is the best way out.
For a wealthy family, it’s just bad money, and it’s not like you haven’t eaten yet, so what’s there to be ashamed of?
Otherwise, we really have to wait for the poor people behind, or even the people from Guizhou to catch up?
The children of the aristocratic families who were promoted by the aristocratic families were tortured by King Feng Gui no matter how miserable they were.
But as long as their family does not want to be eliminated by the tide of the times like the Li family in Shu, then they can only accept their fate. Otherwise, will they really dare to violate the family's wishes?
Not everyone has the same luck and ability as Li Muna.
Li Ming originally came from the Li family’s big house that was knocked down by the wave.
Although he is only considered to be the bottom of the big house, he feels about these things far better than others.
What’s more, he has fewer options.
Because in Yuexi, there was an elder sister who raised him and gave him a lifetime of happiness in exchange for a future.
The steward assigned to the work section saw his appearance and couldn't help but said appreciatively:
“This gentleman is someone who can take things easy.”
Ma Tian looked at the steward and asked with a smile:
“Judging from the manager’s tone, could it be that there are still people who are not willing to do this job?”
The steward laughed and said: "Not only are they unwilling, they even point at my nose and scold me!"
“What happened next?” Martin asked with interest.
"Later? Later, the well-established families either took the person away and replaced him with someone else. Or they sent someone over to look after the children of the clan..."
“What about those who have no foundation?”
“Run away! What else can I do?”
"Aren't you afraid that those who run away will be dissatisfied with this arrangement and ruin your reputation?"
“What are you afraid of? When have you ever been afraid of someone else’s reputation being ruined?”
The steward said with a smile.
"Too."
Martin nodded.
"What's more, as long as he is a scholar, who can ruin the reputation of the king?"
The steward said "tui" and said, "Is it possible that all consciences have been eaten by dogs? Nanxiang printed all the books in the world, and the scholars read them all without any trouble."
Hearing the steward’s words, Martin nodded and said with emotion:
“Yes, not to mention that Nanxiang has printed all the books in the world, even if in today’s world, apart from Cao Zhi of Wei State, whose writing can be compared with Feng Junhou, who else can be compared?
Of course Guan Shi doesn’t understand dimensionality reduction and strikes, and neither does Martin. However, others may have reasons to scold Feng Mingwen, but scholars are definitely the least confident group of people.
If it weren't for the fact that there was another Cao Zijian in the Central Plains, I'm afraid that Feng Yong would have taken over all the talent in the world and become the leader.
It’s just that although Cao Zijian can compare with Feng Mingwen in terms of writing articles, to put it bluntly, he is just a scholar with the status of a prince.
However, Feng Mingwen was both civilized and military, and his achievements were far beyond those few stunning works.
In terms of maintaining the country and governing the people, Feng Mingwen is unknown how much better than Cao Zijian.
In the final analysis, Feng Mingwen really no longer needs to fear slander from others.
Thinking of this, Martin sighed again:
“There is only one stone of talent in the world. Feng Mingwen has eight dou, Cao Zijian has one dou, and the remaining one is divided among all the world.”
When the steward heard this, his expression changed drastically on the spot, and he couldn't help but say two words: "Fuck you!"
These two words reveal that he has been following a certain monarch named Feng for a long time.
“Mr. Ma, what do you mean by this?”
“I say that Feng Mingwen is as talented as eight buckets of talent.”
“Fuck!”
The steward shouted louder.
Seeing the steward looking at himself up and down, his face suddenly turned gloomy and clear, as if he wanted to draw a sword and strike someone.
Martin smiled calmly:
“This is not an exaggeration, please listen to what I have to say.”
The steward’s eyes flickered, and finally he nodded and said, “Sir, please speak.”
Let's see what you say. If you can't explain why, let's see how I deal with you!
Ma Tian pointed to the east and said with a smile:
"If we only talk about writing articles, Cao Zijian is naturally as talented as a prince. But to put it bluntly, Cao Zijian is just a scholar with the status of a prince."
"How can we compare with Feng Junhou who stabilized the country and governed the people? The ancients said: The first is to establish virtue, the second is to perform meritorious service, and the third is to establish words."
“Nanxiang prints all the books in the world so that the scholars of the world no longer have to suffer from the pain of reading books. That is an immortal thing and it is a great virtue.”
"I once heard that Feng Junhou had a saying: "Establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations." Combined with his words, it is enough to establish his words."
“Now the monarch only has one thing left to do: meritorious service, which is not yet complete. If in the future, he can assist the emperor to establish the Han Dynasty and restore the old capital, it will be a meritorious service.”
“The prince was established before the age of the prince came. Three of the three establishments were already prepared for two. Cao Zijian was just a prince and a scholar. How could he compare with the prince?”
When the steward heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he became demented.
Ma Tian, on the other hand, was a little surprised when he saw the steward react like this, and he raised his hand to the young steward:
“May I ask this gentleman’s surname?”
“I dare not, my surname is Xu, my given name is Xun, and I am named Yuande.”
The steward quickly returned the salute respectfully.
The person who can say these words must be no ordinary person and deserves such a courtesy.
Ma Tian was stunned.
Xu Xun Xu Yuande?
Isn’t that Xu Ci’s son?
That’s no wonder.
Xu Ci can now be regarded as the first person in the Han Dynasty to promote imperial learning.
His reputation among the Han scholars was only inferior to that of Xiang Lang, who was a free priest.
Ma Tian took a careful look at Xu Xun and made sure that he didn't recognize him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s no wonder.
When he was famous, Xu Ci's status was far inferior to him.
Not to mention Xu Ci's son, who had not yet had an official status a few years ago, so he was even less qualified to meet him.
After thinking about this, Ma Tian didn't say anything more, directly lifted up the hem of his robe, took off his boots, and walked into the muddy water.
Seeing this, Xu Xun nodded with satisfaction.
Took out the folder under his arm, opened it, found the numbers Ding 43 and Ding 44, and put a check mark behind the names of Martin and Li Ming.
I won’t say whether ability is important or not, but on the first day, their attitudes were still very qualified.
“How talented are you?”
Feng Mingwen was stunned on the spot when he heard Xu Xun's small report.
It took a long time to recover, "Are you sure that person's surname is Ma, not Xie?"
Xu Xun nodded quickly:
“The registration on this person’s file is indeed that his surname is Ma, but if it is not his real surname, it is unknown.”
What the hell!
Xie Lingyun traveled through time?
If he dares to say such crazy things, he must not know how Xie Lingyun killed himself.
But think about it, since this person dares to say that Cao Zijian is a prince and scholar, he is naturally a crazy student.
At this time, the world's atmosphere, the Wei and Jin Dynasty in the original history, had faintly appeared.
So it is not a strange thing to have a crazy life.
But this crazy person wants to beat himself to death...
Feng Gui Wang was a little bit murmuring, could it be that old turtle Sima Yi sent here to trick me?
King Feng Gui was suspicious, but General Guan heard that his Alang had such a high reputation in the eyes of others.
At this moment, he actually had a big belly and said to his son with a wide smile:
“Listen, your master is very talented. You can’t be any less talented in the future!”
Ah Chong couldn’t understand what A Mu said, but he still nodded vigorously.
Zhang Xingyi looked at the mother and son and groaned.
Why?
Am I, Zhang Xiaosi, not more qualified than you?
In the future, Alang and I’s son will definitely be better than your son!
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the trend of commenting on characters was strong, and their reputations could be spread all over the world.
Feng Guiwang doesn't care about this, but it doesn't mean that Guan Ji and others are not affected by this trend.
This is the first time I heard someone speak so highly of Feng Yong. How could I not be happy at the moment?
"Although this person's words are a bit crazy, how about what he said about Alang is not true?"
General Guan Da was the most defensive, and said impatiently, "I think he must be talented. Yuande, when you go down, you should pay close attention to this person."
Zhang Xingyi said with a smile:
"You can also let people spread this person's evaluation of my brother secretly. I heard that the people in Wei are all slandering my brother, saying that my writing does not match the rhyme and is no better than that of Cao Zijian."
“Think about Cao Zijian, he is only one level of talent, how can he be eight times as talented as my brother?”
“Opposite to pole!”
