Chapter 478: Dharma Teachings

It is said that more than 200 years ago, Tian Chang, the founder of Tian Qi, selected women who were more than seven feet tall to be concubines in the harem, reaching more than 100 people, and guests were not allowed to come and go. So by the time Tian Chang died, his concubine gave birth to more than seventy sons.

Tian Chang let the sons live in more than 70 cities, one son in each city, called "Zhutian", and the Sumida clan is one of the descendants of these more than 70 sons. They were assigned to Jimo, and have multiplied in this land for more than 200 years, becoming the most prosperous nobles in Jiaodong, with thousands of hectares of fertile land, hundreds of guests and thousands of vassals......

January was a busy month for the Jisumida clan, although five years ago, after the Qin people entered Jiaodong, they forced the Qiang clan to split up and changed the first month to Mengdong. But even if it is divided, every month, each small sect will gather to drink and feast, congratulate the sect master, and celebrate the New Year. For a time, the Tian Mansion, located on the west bank of the ink, was pleasant to the ear and the wine was intoxicating.

"I only hope that the Sumida clan can continue forever and not fall into the name of the ancestors."

After Tian Jiao finished sacrificing his ancestors, he sighed, turned back to the small sects gathered in the mansion and said, "Second and third sons, let's talk freely." ”

Although he is only about forty, he is not only a powerful leader, but also a famous local celebrity.

In addition to asking the sects not to be alienated, the most important thing for the January gathering was to be presided over by the sect leader to discuss how to distribute farm work, lend grain, and use ploughing cattle after the spring begins......

During the discussion, a clansman got up excitedly and said: "Sect Master, Lin Ze of Tianmur Mountain was taken back to the official government by the Qin officials, my family has lost a lot of money, and it is not as generous as in the past. ”

Others chimed in: "However, Xiaodou should lend it, Dadou should take it back, and so should the ploughing cattle and seeds, and they can't be borrowed in vain!" Otherwise, in a few years, my family will not be able to make ends meet! ”

Tian Jiao compared hands and asked everyone to wait for a while, he got up and said: "Ancestor Tian Chengzi, borrow grain with a big bucket, and take it back with a small bucket, this is a move to benefit the people." Tian Chengzi loves the people like his parents, and the people return to him like flowing water, so there is the matter of the Tian family. ”

"After that, the Jisutian clan, and the famous minister Tian Zongtou, he governed Jimo, so that the field was opened, the people gived, the officials had nothing to do, and the East was Ning, so it was one of the five capitals of Qi, and the people still read it."

After a pause, he said: "Now the Qin officials are in service, three times as many as when the Qi State was in force; The tax is five times that of the Qi State. Jiaodong people are so enjoyable, they have surplus food, and they exchange more for Wencai cloth, silk, fish and salt, and they don't have too much savings. Now the people have paid rent and taxes for their grain deposits, so there is a lack of food at home, and the people are sick. That is, as a local powerhouse, as a son of Tian Chengzi and the first descendant of Tian Chong, how can he not love the people? We should try our best to help them, and if we are in love with each other, how can we follow the example of the Qin official mansion and take it away! ”

"Then you can't keep suffering, why do you want my family to fill the hole in the harsh government of the Qin officials?" The clansmen were still puzzled, but Tian Jiao had made up his mind, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

After everyone left, Tian Jiao had a plan in his heart: "Gaozu Tian is the head of the Wei Wang Zhijimo, and he has to seal ten thousand households, and he has a sentence before he dies, so that the descendants will remember ......"

"That is the king is like a fish, the people are like water, if the people abandon me, then I am like a big fish without water, and my life will not be long!"

Especially when the Qin Dynasty ruled Jiaodong, it was as if the sun was shining overhead, steaming all the ponds dry, that is, the Sumida clan had lost its position as a feudal monarch and could only live in a rut that was about to dry up.

The local government didn't do anything to the Jisumida clan, was it afraid of their family's wealth, fame, and customers? maybe, but the most feared thing is that the Tian family is deeply rooted in the hearts of Jimo people, so they dare not make mistakes.

There are only dozens of Jimo Qin officials, and most of the 1,000 county soldiers are locals, and they have been favored by the Tian clan for generations......

That's right, Qin officials can demote the status of Tian Qi of the Jisutian clan to the "head of Qian", and they can also deprive his family of the benefits of mountains and seas, but they can't take away the hearts of the people who have been operating the Jisumida clan for a hundred years!

Qin officials don't understand the local language, they are not familiar with the acres of land and taxes, and after leaving the county town, their eyes are black, and they become blind and deaf!

If you want to issue a decree and collect taxes, you need the help of someone from the Tian clan for everything, although Tian Jiao and his younger brother Tian are not officials, but there are not a few people from the Tian clan and doormen who are small officials.

In the past five years, a tacit understanding has been formed: the government is in charge of the city, and the Tian family and the big and small nobles are still in charge of the outside of the city. The originally rigid Qin officials, after eating seafood in Jiaodong for a few years, many people have become fat, and they have taken the benefits of the Tian family, and they have turned a blind eye to some of their things.

How much Tian Jiao hopes that he will maintain the family in this way, and when the heavy rain pours one day and Jiaodong is another ocean, he will be able to flick his tail and indulge in the sea.

It's a pity that after five years of well water not intruding with river water, the old county guard left office, and the new county guard just arrived, and he did two things that caused a sensation in the county.

This tells Tianjiao a message: the sky in Jiaodong has changed!

……

Tian Jiao heard that the new county guard was called Heifu, Wei Shi, as soon as he entered Chunyu, in the name of assassination, Dasuo assassin, razed the three clans, and connected dozens of people, all of whom died with five punishments. Chun Yu was dismissed from his post by the county commander and lieutenant, and the whole county was shrouded in a black terror.

After Heifu arrived in Gaomi, he seemed to have changed as if he was a different person, extremely friendly to the local officials and chiefs, worshiped Yanzi Temple, bluntly admired Yan Ying, was a night banquet, and threw out a slogan of "Tian Qi is not righteous", wanting to support Jiang Qi's old clan and let their children enter the office......

This incident made Tian Jiao feel that the comer was not good, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was provoking the infighting of the wealthy in Jiaodong, but he knew that it was a plan, and he had to guard against it.

One hand is hard and the other is soft, before the person arrives and the murder comes first, this combination of punches dazzled the Jiaodong nobles, and they were all afraid to be vigilant, I don't know what big things this new county guard will do after he arrives in Jimo.

But in Tian Jiao's opinion, Heifu wanted to rely on this means to gain a firm foothold in Jimo, and he looked down on them too much.

The people of Jimo used to be extremely supportive of Tian Qi, and there was not only the past when Tian Dan resisted the Yan army for five years and finally regained Qi. Before Qi's death, Dr. Jimo was also the most hard-line anti-Qin faction, and he tried to persuade Qi Wangjian, but unfortunately he didn't listen!

If you don't fake the Tianjiao brothers, you want to take root in the local area and rule more than 100,000 Jimo people who are hostile to the Qin people, which is tantamount to a fool's dream!

So after the Xinjun Shouwei clan arrived in Jimo City, Tian Jiao asked his younger brother to constantly travel back and forth between the city and the mansion to find out the movements of Qi.

After interviewing the county lieutenant, the county officer, and the superintendent of the imperial history, the four officials held a one-day meeting, the county warden Heifu finally made another move, and what people didn't expect was that the first decree he issued after arriving in the county was actually ......

"Teachings?"

When his younger brother came back from the field to inform him of the news, Tian Jiao was stunned.

The so-called law is the law, and the teaching is edification, and it is easy to understand when separated, but once it is connected, it is difficult for people to figure it out.

"Have you copied the political documents?" Tian Jiao asked hurriedly.

"Someone copied it down."

In the field, the slips in their hands were presented - there are many bamboo and wood in Jiaodong, and the paper with the color of the Qin people's official mansion is not loved by the powerful Confucian students.

But when I saw this slip, the first line read: "The Dharma is the ritual of the world." Therefore, it is clear from right and wrong when it is doubted, and the people are hanging on for their lives. ”

Tian Yongwu Shaowen didn't know why he was about this, but Tian Jiao, who had experienced it in the lower reaches of the grass, muttered for a while and then came: "It's Guan Yiwu's words......"

This is rare, a Qin official would actually start with the words of Qi people Guan Zhong as a government decree? However, Tian Jiao thought of the "Jingbian Temple" that was repaired in Linzi a few years ago, and the priest in it was Guan Zhong, and I heard that Jimo was also going to be repaired.

"Bai Yanying, the priest Guan Zhong, this Heifu county guard, it's really not good." Tian Jiao shook his head.

Then he looked down: "The ruler also said, "Whoever shepherds do not commit evil deeds, and women do not commit adultery." Scholars do not do evil deeds, and they teach also; Women have no sexual immorality, and they are also trained. Lessons become customary, and the criminal law is provincial, and the number is also! ”

"The county guard first arrived in Jiaodong, but he heard that Jiaodong Shiduo was evil, and often used Ren Xia to prohibit him, and the elder did not know the law, and the children did not know His Majesty, but slandered Qin Law harshly. The ancients said that killing without teaching is abuse, and the officials do not want to kill without permission, they must first follow the words of the pipe, take the Qin officials as teachers, and educate the scholars with the law, and move them to the people, so that the people will be in the countryside and punished in a provincial way. ”

The above is to borrow Guan Zhong's words to reduce the rejection of the Qi Di Shi people, and at the same time pretend to declare that he is a kind person, believes in the power of education, and will not punish indiscriminately, and the following is the main body of this decree:

Heifu announced that from January, two classrooms will be opened in Jimo, a school and a primary school!

The school selectively recruits those who have reached the age of 16 for the eldest son of Bihao, and is divided into two classes.

Class B learns Qin Yan and Qin Seal, and those who pass the Qin Yan and Qin Seal exams in half a year will be promoted to Class A, and those who fail will continue to repeat the make-up examination. Class A has studied Qin law for half a year, and those who are rough in law can be officials in the government.

Officials are actually a crash course for young cadres, and whoever the government chooses will send their children to come, which is obviously a back door for Yan, Guo, Gao, Bao, Lu and other old Jiang Qi clans. I hope that after a year and a half, they can become assistants and assist the government in controlling the township.

But elementary school is different, all the big families and nobles of Jimo must send boys over eight years old to the school to learn Qin characters and Qin dialects, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!

Whether it is a primary school or a scholar, in addition to law and language classes, there is also a public course, on the fifteenth day of each month, in the newly built Jingbian Temple, in front of the statue of Guan Zhong, this class is open to the whole society, and is preached in Qin and Dongqi bilingual.

The county warden of Haifu personally went out to compile teaching materials and let his officials preach some important things to the children:

For example, Jiang Qi's long history, friendly relations with Qin, several generations of marriage, sympathy, and the tragic experience of being usurped by Tian Qi, and the monarch and ministers being abused, killed and exiled.

Also, the core values that every Jiaodong person should keep in mind:

"Zhuxia has the same ancestor, Qin Qi is a family, and the east and west are prosperous together!!"
