Chapter 189 Stone
"The Qin government has great disadvantages."
Liu Bingyi's answer was very frank.
"Marty of Xi'an, I don't have the profound knowledge of Yang Ziyou, nor do I know much about historical events. Although he told Qin Zhangmu today that Confucian scholars made up stories and discredited Qin Zheng. But in my opinion, this is just applying charcoal to the bottom of the pot, adding black to the black.
"Since Qin can perish in the second lifetime, its politics will definitely have major disadvantages!"
Ren Hong nodded, and did not comment: "What about Zhou Zheng?"
After thinking about it, Liu Bingyi said: "Although Zhou Zheng was said to be wonderful, it is probably not perfect. I have had contact with many Confucian scholars, and I always feel that although Confucian scholars speak benevolence and righteousness, the views raised are not appropriate, and they are good at the past and not the present, which makes people dizzy about the name and reality. The people alone are so clamoring that it is difficult to cure. If you use the morality of Zhou politics, you may become more and more chaotic, and it is not as good as the present."
He smiled and said, "I am not afraid of the jokes about Xi'an Hou. I don't like Qin Zheng, nor do I love Zhou Zheng. I just think that the best strategy for governing the country in the world is the Han system used by mixed Zhou and Qin!"
After saying that, he put on his clothes and fur, and said goodbye and left.
Ren Hong only said to himself after he left: "Yes, Qin, it's just a stone that sinks into the water and lets the man touch the river."
No matter how advanced or regretful it seems to be in later generations, Qin Zheng’s pure use of Legalism has been proven by reality and is a complete failure. Governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman, and it is best to avoid being too fierce and too fierce.
In the Qin Dynasty, the heroes in the early Han Dynasty did not follow the capital of the land, nor did they have the power to be the generals and ministers. They made their fortunes in Siting, and worked hard to drive the world with their wisdom and heroes. They either obeyed with their might, or achieved virtue, or achieved righteousness, or made power, and were not constantly rebellious. After three dynasties of Wenjing, Han and Wu, they eliminated the bad policies of Qin, and finally found a system that was most suitable for reality.
The strong and gentle law is wrapped in the warm cloak of benevolence and righteousness of the six Confucian meridians.
It can be called "the Han family's characteristic government administration" and "the Han family's characteristic feudal state and founding a country".
The giant ship has inherited and abandoned Zhou and Qin, and preserved its essence and removed its dross. This giant ship has been stumbling and sailed for more than 130 years. It not only fulfilled the mission of unifying the four barbarians, but also opened its eyes to the world and opened the door to the new era.
After the Qin Dynasty stone was touched by the Liu family for more than a hundred years, it had already been plated out of patina. Now the situation facing the great man is that if he moves forward, there will be no stone to touch.
So some people became afraid and panic, wanting to turn back and restore Zhou politics, hoping to use the golden sentences in ancient classics that are difficult to distinguish between true and false to guide state affairs.
Of course, this is not reliable. What the Han Dynasty needs is not to restore Zhou Zheng, nor to restore Qin Zheng, but to get rid of the burden of history and continue to move forward.
"I think this man is missing a pilot..."
However, early the next morning, Ren Hong was summoned by General Huo Guang, the helm of the country.
...
A few days ago, the Winter Solstice Meeting, Ren Hong and Dian vassal state presented the map of the world that passed the Shiqu Pavilion, which really caused a sensation. Emperor Wu's exploration of the four palaces during the dynasty of the dynasty finally came to the map. The five garments that the doctor of the Five Classics held on the Ninth Covenant broke a big hole, but he didn't care about repairing them.
Because the foreign legends thrown by Ren Hong disrupted their steps, the virtuous literature is arguing endlessly about whether to ask the court to send envoys to Haixi to find out whether the Great Qin State was a tyrant Qin party.
They have always opposed exploring areas outside of "Yu Gong" and "Spring and Autumn", but now they have differences.
Ren Hong was not afraid of the sent envoys who discovered the truth. It took several years to travel back and forth. The Sakura, who had already begun to get into the evil with Rome and monopolized the interests of the Silk Road, would not let the Han pass so easily.
In history, due to the obstruction of Anxu, the Han Dynasty and Rome were never able to contact each other. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gan Ying, the deputy envoy of Ban Chao, who had the farthest, was deliberately taken to the Persian Gulf by Anxu, who deceived him and said that this was the West Sea. The Qin Dynasty was opposite, and the waves were quite strong. Ten people went back, so Gan Ying then retreated. After a few decades, the Romans came to the door themselves and sent envoys to land on the sea route from Rinan County to "pay tribute", but the Han people always felt that this was pretending to be a southern barbarian.
Compared with the earthquakes caused in the academic circle, the court officials were very dull in the map, not shocked by heaven and earth, nor were they disdainful. They just followed the rules of the Han family and asked the painters to copy more copies and hang them in the court and the offices of the Nine Ministers.
When Ren Hong walked into the shogunate of the Grand Sima General, he found that there was also a picture hanging here.
Compared with the one hidden in Shiqu Pavilion, this map was reduced by half. The east side was indeed much longer, making the Han Dynasty just in the middle of the map. The reason why Ren Hong agreed to do this was naturally to make the white space part in the east arouse the world's curiosity, but he did not expect that the first one to stimulate was Huo Guang...
Hearing Ren Hong enter the hall and bow, Huo Guang also turned around and told Ren Hong something directly.
"The emperor has agreed that next year, he will send envoys to the Sanhan Kingdom to see what the island rich in silver is like in the appendix of the map."
Although the Han people used gold as their coins, silver was also a rare luxury.
Ren Hong hurriedly blamed him: "General, the Japanese island is full of silver, and it is just an envoy who heard from the Three Hans, and it is not necessarily accurate."
"The Han Dynasty is not short of that little silver." Huo Guang expressed his disdain: "It is just to find out the four barbarians. Since a Han envoy in the West has reached the sunset land, the sunrise land in the east must also send people to explore and draw what he sees and hears on this blank map."
After saying this, Ren Hong understood that it was obsessive-compulsive disorder, it must be because of the general's incurable obsessive-compulsive disorder!
Huo Guang didn't know Ren Hong's heart and told him not to be too polite. Then he began to praise the recent achievements of the vassal state.
"The picture made by the vassal state is very good. Military strategy is said to me, so I used five things to solve them and used them to find out their feelings: one is Tao, two is heaven, three is earth, four is general, and five is law. With the map of the vassal, those who govern can also know the heights of the four barbarians in the world, far and near, dangerous and easy, wide and narrow, and life and death."
For the rulers who are planning the overall situation, they really need such a map, which lets Huo Guang know that the three things he did this year are extremely correct.
The first is to resist the opposition, support Fu Jiezi's progress in the Western Regions, agree with Ren Hong's plan to build the Western Regions Protectorate.
The second thing is that in June, when Sanfu and the evil young officials of the county and state sued the deceased, they stationed in Liaodong. Because the Han Dynasty and Wuhuan had a feud in the third year of Yuanfeng, they moved outside the Great Wall to cover up to prevent the Huns from plaguing the counties of Youzhou, Wuhuan, which has now become a new border trouble.
His son-in-law Fan Mingyou believes that we should continue to use troops in the Northeast and we must resolutely crack down on the Wuhuan until we follow our subordinates and are willing to be the gatekeeper of the Han Dynasty.
"In this way, will the Wuhuan be forced to the side of the Huns?"
However, Huo Guang disagreed with Fan Mingyou's opinion. The situation facing the Han Dynasty is quite similar to that of Emperor Wu's Yuanshuo period.
At that time, the Han Dynasty carried out three things at the same time: opening up the southwest Yi, building Canghai County, and building Shuofang County. One was in the southwest, one was in the northeast, and the other was in the northwest, which was quite similar to today. The road to open up the southwest Yi took six years, and countless soldiers were killed and injured. Canghai County was built for two years, which made Yan and Zhao exhausted.
For this reason, the then Prime Minister Gongsun Hong, the Marquis of Pingjin, wrote a memorial saying: "I wish to abolish the southwest barbarians and devote themselves to the Shuofang in the vast sea."
The country really cannot bear such great pressure by opening Xinjiang from three sides. Please stop the southwest Yi and Canghai County and devote yourself to the construction of Shuofang.
The same is true now. The lesson of Emperor Wu’s dynasty on all sides must not be forgotten. Huo Guang knew that the Han Dynasty needed to make a choice in the northwest, southwest and northeast.
The third thing he did was to stop Xiangjun this autumn, divide the land into Yulin and hang the shore.
Judging from this map, almost all the countries in the south, including Nanyue, Dongyue, Dian Kingdom, Yelang, and the southern countries were unified under the rule by the Han Dynasty and no longer had any troubles of enemy countries.
However, the rebellion of local barbarians still brought great pressure to the court. The rebellion that almost swept across Yizhou County took three years to pacify. He once heard Tian Guangming and Du Yannian describe the war in the south, and it took too much manpower to push the counties to each dam and mountain city. The casualties were too great. Some places with deep mountains and forests could not be cured. If they were not allowed to give up, they would be satisfied with the barbarian tribes saying that tribute was enough, and they would shrink their troops to Guilin, which was easily accessible by the Han people through water.
The southwest retreated slightly and abolished counties that were useless. This move should attract the praise of the Great Honglu and the virtuous literary scholars.
The northeast will defend and protect the country and the people will be safe. In the first month of next spring, the county and state disciples will be recruited to build Xuantu City in Liaodong. This should allow Fan Mingyou and other leftists to do something and will no longer yell at attacking Wuhuan and Zuo Xianwang.
The northwest will maintain an attack, establish the Western Regions Protectorate, completely control the north and south roads, and unite the six counties that support the development of the northwest by uniting by their side. These are the three major national policies set by Huo Guang for the Han Dynasty next year.
However, when summoned Ren Hong today, Huo Guang did not mention the "Qin Qin" at all, because this extremely realistic politician had no concern at all about the illusory threats twenty thousand miles away, and only focused on what could be done next year.
Huo Guang picked up a memorial, flipped it out, and asked Ren Hongdao:
"You have submitted a memorial to ask the Grand Secretary to send officials to go to Nanhai County to plant next year...what is this?"
Ren Hong could only step forward, pointing to the word he made, and said: "Cotton, cotton cotton."
