Chapter 20: Still the Devil

In the pine forest by the Xiangjiang River, a group of people talked and laughed.

"It's here!" Su Shi shouted, only to see several big boats parked on the side of the Xiangjiang River in front of him, and a man in white standing on the shore looked at everyone with a smile.

"Young Master Qin!"

"Qin Gongzi is alone?" everyone came to the shore. Qin Chao arched his hand to Cheng Yi and the others: "Presumably everyone can't wait, let's get on the boat and talk about it!" "Very good!" "Please!" Qin Chao bowed his hand again, flew up, and landed on the middle boat. Cheng Yi, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and others also flew up and landed on the ship where the Qin Dynasty was, and one by one they also flew up, landing on each ship according to their status, and the ship started.

"Hey, this thing is good!" There was a long table on the deck with strips stapled around, and there were all kinds of snacks, snacks, and drinks on the table, Cheng Yi pinched up a piece of fried golden, exuding an attractive smell of thin slices and put it in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then squinted slightly, "I feel a little bit of potato fragrance in this taste, I don't know?" These days, Cheng Yi, Sima Guang and others inspected Lingnan, and naturally tasted the delicacy of potatoes, and then arrived in Tanzhou, where the Qin Dynasty received them, and they specially wanted to try corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops.

In later generations, there were not 1,000 but 800 ways to eat potatoes, especially in a certain old capitalist country in Europe and the United States, and although there were not as many ways to eat sweet potatoes and corn as potatoes, the Qin Dynasty from later generations pointed out that Abi should not have all kinds of practices.

"It's called potato chips, and it's just slicing and frying potatoes until they're crispy. Qin Chaolian said.

"It's so simple?" One by one, they even picked up the potato chips on the table and tried them, and then showed appreciation, "Gongzi Qin, you have also eaten a lot of potatoes for everyone these days, and Miss Abi's craftsmanship is not to be said, but speaking of it." It's still a crisp way to eat, and the taste is not bad at all. ”

"Hey, this is a sweet potato cake, the sweet potato cake made by Abi doesn't seem to have this kind of ......" laughed one by one, Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, and Wang Anshi were quietly eating popcorn and potato chips made of corn. Watching the scenery on both sides of the strait fly away, my mind also galloped away.

These days to visit Lingnan one by one is undoubtedly prepared, after all, when the emperor was overthrown, Qin Xianao issued a declaration to lead Lingnan himself, to lead the most backward Lingnan people to the road to prosperity.

Now that so many years have passed, it is time to examine Qin Xianao's achievements, of course, everyone wants to know that Qin Xianao is the devil with his unique, different, and unprecedented new way of governing the country in history. Or an angel, are the people under his rule miserable, miserable and poor?

"Mr. Sima, I toast you. Qin Chao's voice pulled Sima Guang's mind back from his distraction, Sima Guanglian picked up the wine glass, touched the glass with the Qin Dynasty who came over, took a sip and said with a smile: "Qin Gongzi, what a good means!"

"Good means?" Qin Chao looked at Sima Guang suspiciously.

Sima Guang put down his wine glass and said, "I mean Qin Gongzi's good means of governing the country." These days, I have been with you all the way, all the way to investigate. The people of Lingnan have had a great impact on me. As soon as Sima Guang's words came out, they all showed emotion.

"Gongzi Qin, you have indeed governed Lingnan very well. ”

"Under the rule of Lingnan, the people are rich and healthy, the old have something to rely on, and the young have a ...... support"

One by one, no matter how much they want to pick thorns. But looking at the facts in front of us, and seeing that every village visited was equally rich, if this was all nittling, it would be completely unreasonable.

"Mr. Sima has won the award, you have won the award. These are all the credit of my subordinates, and I dare not take credit. Qin Chao said.

"Awards?" Sima Guang smiled bitterly in his heart, under the rule of Lingnan, the most important point is that the gap between the rich and the poor is very small, everyone is the same, there is not much gap between the rich and the poor, naturally there is little resentment, and life is still passable, although it is not the rich people in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not comparable to the Qin Dynasty's "Journey to the Immortal Country", but at least everyone is not hungry, there is no need to worry about worrying, worrying about not being able to support themselves, and because the gap between the rich and the poor is small, there are few things that people eat and bully people, and there is no need to worry about being bullied.

Not idle, material life, spiritual life is okay.

Therefore, what has the greatest impact on everyone is the heartfelt happiness, peace and tranquility of the Lingnan people.

Therefore, some people who are better in private even say the word 'Datong' to each other.

The Confucian classic "Book of Rites" once described the Confucian ideal of the world scene of Datong, saying that "the road is also a journey, the world is for the public, the selection of talents and abilities, the emphasis on faith and harmony, so that people do not only kiss their relatives, do not only have sons and sons, so that the old have the end, the strong have use, and the young have the ......'."

At this point, Confucianism has never done anything in governing the country, but in this trip to Lingnan, I saw the real world of Datong described in the Confucian "Book of Rites" one by one.

It can be said that in the eyes of everyone, except for the inconsistency of 'the world is for the public', that is, Qin Xianao was not elected by the people themselves, the others basically meet the requirements of the Datong world in the "Book of Rites".

This is very surprising, a demon has actually realized the highest ideal of governing the country pursued by Confucianism.

"Qin Gongzi, all along, my Confucianism has been conscientious, and countless sages have worked hard for the prosperity of the people, but why? Sima Guang had a calm face, "From the sages, to Fan Zhongyan, to Ouyang Xiu tried his best to get rid of the ills, and then to our generation, Wang Jiefu implemented changes for this, and I, Sima Guang, also buried my head in the historical classics in order to find a way, so I wrote "Zizhi Tongjian", I want to find a really correct way, why can't I find it, but you are ...... here"

"By the way, why did Gongzi Qin teach me?"

Qin Chao sighed: "Everyone, the Great Song Dynasty has developed to the bone, what can be done?"

No way?

One by one, Shuo Shuo looked at the Qin Dynasty, his eyes full of disbelief.

"I Lingnan, you also know, how did the reason why we have the current peace and vigor come about? It was redistributed after shooting the local tyrants and inferior gentry and completely disrupting the entire Lingnan. Qin Chao said in a deep voice, "If I have a way, why should I do this?"

Slightly quiet, Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, Cheng Yi one by one, and even Wang Anshi and Su Shi showed disappointment on their faces.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now you see that my Lingnan seems to be prosperous, but it seems to me that there is chaos. Qin Chao muttered.

"What?"

One by one, they stared.

Sima Guang raised his eyebrows. Lian shook his head: "Gongzi Qin, what you said is not alarmist, I have inspected so many villages and towns these days, but I have not seen any drawbacks!"

"That's right, Qin Gongzi, I don't understand what you say. ”

"Everybody has land. Land cannot be bought or sold under the rule of Lingnan, and this law has put an end to land concentration and the disparity between the rich and the poor for thousands of years.

"What did Childe think of again, why did he say that?" asked one by one.

"If it's just the so-called Datong in the Book of Rites. I, Qin Xianao, can say it without shame, it has been reached. "The Qin Dynasty was arrogant.

They were silent one by one, although they were very uncomfortable with Qin Chao's words, but they couldn't refute it, and they didn't have the face to refute it.

"But what I Qin Xianao wants is not that kind of Datong, although that Datong is good, but the material of the people is still too poor, you should also see it. The people under my rule still have to go out to work every day, and even women have to go to the fields in many cases. I can't afford to wear gorgeous clothes, I can't afford to eat ginseng from Changbai Mountain when I'm sick, I can't afford to install bright glass windows at home, and I can't live in a building with several floors......" The Qin Dynasty gushed endlessly.

All of them had strange faces.

Can't afford to eat white ginseng, can't afford to live in a building, can't have a meal, wine and meat?

These are even the rich people of the Great Song Dynasty who can't do it, and many landlords in the Great Song Dynasty have meat for the New Year. I usually eat some bacon, and these Lingnan people have reached it.

"Gongzi Qin, don't you want the dogs of the common people under your rule in Lingnan to eat meat, and they also eat better than the people of my Great Song Dynasty?" Cheng Yi said in a strange voice.

Qin Chao raised his eyebrows: "Or Mr. Yichuan understands me, I naturally didn't write "Travels to the Immortal Country" just by writing it, but really wanted to take the people in that direction." Admittedly, this is a goal that could take hundreds of years to achieve. ”

"Go to the Immortal Country, I understand, but Qin Gongzi, the system under your rule is so perfect, as long as you give time, why you?" Han Zhongyan said in a deep voice.

"No, you've only scratched the surface. Qin Chaolang said, "Maybe the people of Lingnan do have a strong sense of happiness, but this happiness is based on the fact that everyone is like a bird, or in my words, it is to pull everyone to suffer poverty together, so the poor are happy, if it is not for the land of Lingnan that can still support people, and we promote high-yield crops, where is the current food and clothing?"

"I can tell you very clearly, such a system will only raise a group of sheep, sheep are not combative, and they cannot lead people into a high level of civilization like the fairy country, I want wolves, only wolves can force out their potential......"

The wolves' faces were a little ugly.

"You can see that Lingnan originally implemented complete collective ownership and ate a big pot of rice, but now, in the process of reform, it has eliminated the big pot of eating and implemented the contract land system, and the grain grows by itself and belongs to itself, and even the planned economy has begun to expand to a certain extent to the private economy, which is to disrupt the existing situation in which everyone suffers from poverty together, and allow some people to get rich first, to put it mildly, that is, to allow and even appropriately encourage people to eat people and exploit people......

The faces of the crowd became even more ugly.

"The Book of Changes" has 20,000 words, talking about one word - 'change', there has never been a perfect and immutable system in the world, and now a good system has become a malpractice that hinders social development in a few years, so you look at our system is very perfect, but what will ......happen if it develops to a certain extent?"

"People are inert, lazy and hard-working, the real so-called Datong, although the world is beautiful, but now is not the time, what I can do is to control the exploitation of human beings in a society that is conducive to the development of science and technology, conducive to improving productivity......

"The overall economic structure will generally go in that direction, but what I am most worried about is not the economy, but politics, the corruption of officials, and the inability of power to be put in a cage, and the reform of the political system is my biggest headache, here ......" Qin Chao gushed.

Sima Guang, Cheng Yi, Wang Anshi, Lu Gong, Liu Qin...... All of them had solemn faces.

This trip to Lingnan, looking at the real happiness of the people of Lingnan from the heart, and the emergence of a Confucian ideal of Datong, made the impression of Qin Xian's arrogant demon change one by one, and Qin Demon has become a good person of Qin, a great master of Qin, but now-

"His words are undoubtedly reasonable, but although the reason is there, it lacks human touch and is too rational, and it is ...... to govern like this."

"I was wrong, Demon Qin is still the same demon! We shouldn't have hoped for it at all......"

"The real iron will, for the sake of his own immortal country goal, actually wants to destroy the existing one, but it's a pity that this short-lived Datong world in Lingnan ......"

"Thanks to me before, I was still thinking about how to learn from Qin Xianao and how to transform the Great Song Dynasty, but fortunately he didn't give advice, otherwise this suggestion would ......" sighed in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
