Chapter 6947 River embankment
"Yes, in essence, this is a kind of Taoist struggle, but whether it is me or Cyprian who deconstructed my current system later, they actually know that the other party's approach is correct, but there is a degree involved in it." Chen Xi explained with a bit of sigh.
"I think my degree is at the most appropriate level, and Cyprian probably won't recognize it. I can't argue about this, but as long as there is a Guan Zhong or a me, Cyprian's degree cannot be determined as correct." Chen Xi saw Liu Bei's expression of thought on his face and continued to explain, "But Cyprian's logic is fundamentally correct than Guan Zhong and I."
"What's wrong?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei's brows frowned and asked strangely.
"I'm just curious why you mentioned Guan Zhong." Liu Bei said with a smile.
"To be honest, Guan Zi is the most capable among these prime ministers, and has enough moral integrity and morality. Li Jue, Wu Zi, Shang Jun, although he is also powerful, he really wants to say something..." Chen Xi sent a message to Liu Bei quietly, not daring to say too loudly, for fear that Wu Qi would hear it.
From ancient times to the present, there have been too many people on the road to strengthening the country and enriching the people, but what they really want to say is roughly divided into extremely rare people with morality and ability and others. If Chen Xi is in, it is probably Guan Zhong who is moral and capable.
What do other guys say? There is absolutely nothing from the standpoint of the country, but from the standpoint of the people, it is really a bit too much.
After all, in the feudal era, the routes taken were basically strong countries, and the people were rich but not rich, which was not important to the big figures who managed the country. Taking Shang Jun, the most famous in the reform, as an example, the route he took was undoubtedly a strong country and weak people, and the profit was achieved. If the people want to develop, they could only rely on farming and fighting, and the rest were blocked by Shang Jun.
It’s not that this policy is completely wrong. After all, Qin was almost destroyed at the beginning. If you want to survive, the fastest and most effective way to gather strength is to benefit one's own strength and one heart.
This is also the key to the Qin State quickly smashing all the opponents around. Because of this gameplay, the people who are poor will be left aside first, and the country's dominance and the callable upper limit have been greatly enhanced.
However, from Chen Xi's standpoint and the current social environment of the Han Dynasty, there is no need for such policies, the construction of a moral system, and the logic of strengthening the country and enriching the people. Chen Xi must say that it is natural for ordinary people to enjoy the dividends brought by the prosperity of the country.
But these behaviors must be actively promoted by the national government and spread from top to bottom in the process of moral system and system construction.
Because Chen Xi still needs such an organization with strong management capabilities, even if this organization is actually necessary, it can deprive individuals of many personal rights. Even after Chen Xi retreats, with the development of the times, this organization entity will inevitably alienate and penetrate, and then seize the power of the lower individuals until it enters the next cycle of reincarnation.
Even so, Chen Xi will still maintain this organization because without such an organization, the resources that Chen Xi can mobilize and build great achievements are very limited, and the upper limit left by history will be talked about by later generations countless times, and will force those who are kind and ambition to follow that peak era.
In other words, as long as Chen Xi stays a peak with detailed records, even if the Han Dynasty collapses and the Han cultural circle is reshuffled, countless people will still miss that era and want to complete the revival. Even if the new era is not called Han, as long as this spirit and inheritance are left behind, there will inevitably be people who will do everything possible to inherit and transcend.
Therefore, Chen Xi's Tao is indeed not as good as Cipulian in the hearts of human beings. After all, Cipulian's Tao is the lowest and most basic desire of human beings, but Chen Xi's Tao crushed Cipulian far to the upper limit of human ideals. After I became enlightened, future generations will chase them and then became enlightened!
To put it bluntly, it is just the difference between ideals and reality. Chen Xi can really rely on his own morality, his own abilities, and this huge centralized organization to create a peak operation that is almost at the level of the dictatorship of the Saint Lord, and then create a long prosperous era that lasts for a hundred years, leaving a brilliant glow that cannot be avoided in history for future generations.
Therefore, even if Ciprian's Tao is correct, even if it is indeed more suitable for continuation and ordinary people in terms of human mind and law, Chen Xi would not let Ciprian come to Chang'an to perform.
There are not many people in this world who can really make things difficult for Chen Xi, but if Cipulian preached in Chang'an, it would take a while before Chen Xi could clean up. After all, sometimes the correct laws are inappropriate. In this era, the essence of this is to achieve success by people.
"Zichuan." After Chen Xi finished speaking, Liu Bei sighed and looked at Chen Xi, sighing a little, "How do you think of my Liu Bei's morality?"
"Although I am not a saint, I am indeed a moral model. I can uphold my true nature in troubled times. Without Xuande Gong, troubled times will be just troubled times." Chen Xi told the truth.
"It's too high, too high. What I want to say is that you mention morality because you can do both. I'm afraid that the Guanzi can do both. The situations others face..." Liu Bei sighed lightly, "It's not that easy for them to take into account both morality and reality. In the chaotic times, even if you want to uphold your moral heart, sometimes you have to dirty your hands and your heart."
"Some people may be under this banner, but some people really want to save the people from the fire and water, but this road cannot be clean." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi with a little sigh and complicated, "Zichuan, you can consider morality and decent things in troubled times, just because you are too strong."
"Oh, okay." Chen Xi thought about it and felt that this was somewhat acceptable. Although he really felt that Wu Zi and Shang Jun had other choices when reforming, they really chose the most toxic and cruel route, maybe because they were eager to succeed.
"So talents like Cipulian can only be placed in the Yuan family?" Liu Bei said with a pity.
"He is one of the human stars. If he comes to Chang'an, he will have to do it sooner or later. That would be a big problem." Chen Xi said helplessly. To put it bluntly, his current set is the kind of dictatorship that the Holy Lord dictatorship breaks the upper limit, which is incompatible with the Siplian's set.
"Fuck you?" Liu Bei was speechless when he heard this, "Then forget it, turn around and transfer Xu Ziyuan to Chang'an. His abilities are actually quite appropriate."
"Xu Ziyuan, Chen Changwen, Zhang Zibu, indeed, if these three are in Chang'an and maintaining the local area, it is actually enough. In fact, Chen Changwen and Zhang Zibu are enough." Chen Xi nodded, and also felt that Liu Bei's proposal was good.
"Cao Sun has been summoned, and it is not good if the Yuan family is not summoned." Liu Bei said with a smile.
What’s wrong? To put it bluntly, it’s time to the twelfth year of Yuanfeng, which will give Yuan Cao and Sun Liang a clear foundation and let them know what the Han Dynasty is now. Don’t think that you have some capital, and just have a little thought. Who is the father and who is the son? You have to know what is it!
After all, the prosperous Kushan was beaten to the point of defeat by the Han Dynasty. What was Rome’s mood? This was a must-have. At this time, if some guys were not strong and had a small move, the scene would be a bit unfavorable.
In a word, even if your Yuan family was enthroned by Rome as the Duke of the Eastern European border county, you have to recognize who is the father. Liu Bei is not worried about Yuan Tan for this, but Liu Bei is only worried about Yuan Tan’s subordinates!
Of course, these subordinates may not be surrenderism, but in some things, let alone surrender, Liu Bei will not allow speculation.
"That's fine, this can be considered freeing up Kong Ming and the others. This battle is still very important." Chen Xi nodded, and occasionally he had to show what the princes and kings meant to be the barrier of the Han family!
"By the way, there is another thing I forgot to say before. It was the news brought by Wu Ken, the personal guard of Shuzhi. It said that Nangui was absorbing the power of the gods and Buddhas of the water and earth, but it did not seem to be used in the Ganges River Basin. Let us be careful in the rear. It said that if Nangui is defeated and special means are used to attack the Yellow River embankment in the summer, it will have some impact." Liu Bei thought for a while and explained.
"Wu Aochen?" Chen Xi recalled that Chen Dao seemed to have such a personal guard, but the news was a bit strange. He got this kind of thing that should be very confidential, and he shouldn't have it from where he got it.
"Well, that guy." Liu Bei nodded and said, "He said it was pried out from the mouth of a god and Buddha, so he came to report it, but he did not have accurate information. He only had such a message, plans, or something. He also felt that the defense of the Yellow River embankment was also very good, and it was generally unlikely that something might happen, so he just passed on the news."
"Okay, I received it. I will ask the Dushui envoys, embankments, water embankments, and embankments of the Yellow River Basin to inspect more." Chen Xi nodded. There are really many people in the Yellow River Basin these days. After all, the mother river of the Yellow River is somewhat outrageous. Fortunately, these days, there are methods left by big bosses, and the Yellow River has basically not flooded.
"I don't think you can recruit more fishing guys. There are many veterans who actually like fishing very much. You can arrange it and let them be the messengers of the water, such as those two guys." Liu Bei pointed to Jiang Chen and Zhang Chen who had already gathered with Empress Xiao in the small world. "What kind of Lelingwei do you arrange for Zhang Chen to be the Lelingwei? You arrange for him to be the observatory of the river embankment. He is on the river embankment every day. Do you believe that he may be there when he goes there in the middle of the night."
Chen Xi had nothing to say. No matter how much Zhang Chen said, he was a fifth-level melting of progressive merits. He was a native of Jizhou. He had great achievements in the Jizhou case and was strong enough. He was transferred to the position of two thousand stones. If he was used as a escort of the river embankment, even if it was the top match, it would be more than a thousand stones, and this would be cut in half.
"Don't take the position rank so important. You have paid enough salary. The position rank is actually not important to them. Zhang Chen was reported to Boning as the Le Lingwei. When he was a Sima of another department, it was okay to have someone else replace him. Now, Le Lingwei is basically a dereliction of duty." Liu Bei said with a little sigh.
"Some people are actually not suitable for being a captain. Is fishing so interesting?" Liu Bei turned his head and said to Chen Xi.
"If this is the case, Duke Xuande will make arrangements by himself. I really don't know these people. To be honest, I mentioned fishing so that I can meet who Zhang Chen is." Chen Xi said helplessly.
"Our system is to be released from the army, and I will be approved and released. After entering the local area, as a bureaucrat, and then take the route of bureaucrat promotion." Liu Bei said very seriously.
"After that all the promotion documents related to retired soldiers will be sent to Duke Xuande for review." Chen Xi waved his hand. This kind of thing was too simple. "By the way, are there many fishermen among the veterans? When I arranged for Dushui Envoys and River Embankment before, I always looked at whether their hometown was close to the river, and did not consider this aspect."
"There are quite a lot of people, and I don't know what's going on. There are more people who like fishing, but some people have reported that some veterans are unethical and cannot catch fish, so they use methods to blow up the river directly." Liu Bei said with some complexity. It can only be said that the times are changing, and the behavioral logic is really unchanging.
"In this way, then arrange for those who like fishing to be the Dushui officials. Anyway, the Yellow River needs a lot of Dushui officials." Chen Xi thought for a while and said that at least hundreds of Dushui officials in the entire Yellow River basin can be arranged so that everyone can feel at ease. After all, the Yellow River is really terrible.
Although Chen Xi is actually very clear that the flooding Yellow River no longer exists at this point in time. Since Wang Jing organized people to build the Yellow River more than a hundred years ago, there has been basically no flood in the Yellow River in the next eight hundred years.
Do you understand what a god is? A god without this level of god is why the Lelang Wang family is known as the three major water conservancy families along with the Li family of Sichuan and Shu, and the Sang family of Luoyang. Do you understand the value of "Wang Jing governs the river for thousands of years"? This is the Yellow River. After Wang Jing completed the repair, there were no major diversions in the entire eight hundred years, and the number of times the dikes broke was rarely, and there were human factors.
Of course, Wang Jingxiu's embankment has only been used for more than a hundred years. The people of the Central Plains are quite timid about this thing, fearing that when will this thing be collapsed by the Yellow River. This is also the reason why there are a large number of embankment visitors, water envoys, and Hengshui Commanders on the Yellow River. This is a completely bloody lesson.
Generally speaking, when Wang Jing did not build the Yellow River, these water officials mainly focused on the hydrology of the Yellow River. The state sent water officials to observe the Yellow River, record the hydrological information, and then transferred it to the Taishi Ling, allowing the Gan family and Shi family to compare the hydrological information to see if the Yellow River is going to hit the Central Plains in the past two years.
After Wang Jing completed the Yellow River, the task of the water officials gradually changed from recording hydrological data to seeing who was on the prince's embankment. This is also the reason why the water officials first developed mainly the river embankment and the chief lieutenant. Because the Yellow River did not flood for hundreds of years after Wang Jing built the river, the responsibility of the water officials changed from preventing floods to protecting the embankment left by the prince.
The former collects hydrology, while the latter works professionally!
By the way, the scale of water officials in the early days was very large. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, there were many people who needed to build the left and right water envoys in the central government to manage the level of water officials in the world.
There was no way. During the reign of Emperor Wu, the Yellow River broke the dike, but it was too fierce. It took more than ten years to make a move. In the end, when Emperor Wu passed by, he went up to the dike entrance, and then brought the three dukes and nine ministers to carry firewood to block the dike entrance. After blocking, he built a palace at the dike entrance, namely Xuanfang Palace.
To be honest, since the Xuanfang Palace was built for the Huzikou that broke the dam, the Huzikou has never broken the dam again...
However, the Yellow River problem in the Western Han Dynasty was not solved from beginning to end. By the time of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow River began to beat the Central Plains again. Then Wang Jing wrote to Emperor Ming and carefully stated his method of controlling water. Emperor Ming admired it very much after hearing it, but thought it was very feasible, so he fully supported Wang Jing to build the Yellow River.
Then, with the consent of Emperor Ming of Han, Wang Jing mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers and added more than one billion yuan to completely solve the problem of the Yellow River flood.
Of course, this was Wang Jing's report. At that time, people did not realize that Wang Jing was telling the truth. He did solve the problem of the Yellow River flood. At that time, most bureaucrats, even Emperor Ming, actually invested hundreds of thousands of soldiers, plus tens of billions of dollars, and maintaining it for a hundred years was considered a success.
However, the subsequent fact is that Wang Jing did not make nonsense. After he completed the repair, there was no major flood in the Yellow River for 800 years. As for diversion or something, it never happened. After the subsequent problems, it went directly to the Song Dynasty.
But these days, I am still timid about the Yellow River. After all, I am beaten and beaten in history books, so the number of water officials is arranged according to the full value, that is, there are people in charge of the central government, there are people on the river embankment and patrol people. If necessary, tens of thousands of people must be allocated to repair and guard the embankment at any time. This is a historical legacy of Emperor Wu of Han. Although the Han Emperor changed the subsequent changes, it did not make any major changes in this regard.
The official history was not until the Wei and Jin Dynasties, because the Yellow River had been smaller for two hundred years and there was no problem, the scale and rank of Dushui officials were compressed, becoming the water officials among the twenty-three Caos under the Shangshutai. Later, by the Jin Dynasty, the Yellow River still did not flood, the status of the water officials continued to decline, and the scale was greatly reduced, and there were even a situation where there were only a few small officials in Dushuitai.
By the Sui Dynasty, the level was reduced from the Dushuitai of the Ministry of Works to the Dushui Supervisory Office, and then to the Dushui Order. Anyway, the Yellow River has been fine, so it doesn't matter.
This policy was continued in the Tang Dynasty, but by the late Tang Dynasty, there were too few repairs and wars, the Yellow River began to show its power, and the level of water officials gradually increased. By the time the Yellow River exploded in the Song Dynasty, the number and rank of water officials began to grow and quickly restored to its original status.
When the Jin Dynasty occupied the Yellow River Basin, the Jin Dynasty decisively continued the water official system of the Northern Song Dynasty and continued to strengthen it, and even issued an edict directly to manage the Yellow River defense. However, at this time, the Yellow River had entered the early stage of out of control, and there was no great god who came to deal with it. He could only watch the Yellow River be calcified.
The Yuan Dynasty was even more direct, the Yellow River officials were the third rank! Then the Yuan Dynasty died in Xiuhe.
After the Ming Dynasty took over, the rank of the post continued to be improved. The Shangshu personally came to the scene to repair the river and enter the cabinet!
The Qing Dynasty continued to practice and its scale continued to grow.
In short, human history is a repetition, but no matter how it is repeated, Chen Xi lived in this era, the Yellow River was at its most maternal time, at least there was basically no flood. As for Wang Jingxiu's embankment, as long as you look forward to it and don't destroy it, there will be basically nothing wrong.
However, Chen Xi still had to maintain the team of water officials. According to Chen Xi's impression, by the late Tang Dynasty, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, a large part of the reason for the flooding of the Yellow River was the collapse of the water officials system and the loss of a lot of information. He had not built the Yellow River for hundreds of years, and he didn't know how to build it. After Wang Jing's set completely collapsed, the Yellow River directly made a big move for the Northern Song Dynasty!
So before Wang Jingxiu's embankment was blown up, Chen Xi still had to keep this team that was useless before it was played, and he would try his best not to let others mess around in this team.
Just looking at history, you can tell that after the Yellow River in the Northern Song Dynasty exploded again, it took nearly a thousand years for later generations to barely clean up the mess. Since this is the case, it would be better to maintain this team. At least, it would be better to raise tens of thousands of people, but it would be much better to go to build the river every few days. It doesn’t matter how much fertile fields flooded and drowned people are, just talk about how much money they spend.
"I was thinking about this news from Uncle Zhi. When you conduct verification next year, you will go and check the Yellow River embankment left by Wang Zhongtong to see if there are any problems. No matter what, it will be almost 150 years, and I am a little worried." Liu Bei greeted Chen Xi, and asked Chen Xi to turn back to verify the five northern states, and then take people to the Yellow River embankment to see if there are any hidden dangers.
"Oh, okay, I will go and see it. Let's build a few royal temples." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, Wang Jing had a temple, but the number was very small these days. After another hundred years, there would be more temples. When the Yellow River embankment collapsed, the number of temples would really increase. After hundreds of floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, Wang Jing would live in the hearts of the people.
"Yes, there has been no trouble in more than a hundred years. It is indeed possible that the official can build temples and sacrifices." Liu Bei thought about it and said, and he also felt that it is not easy for the Yellow River to have not had floods for more than a hundred years. As Wang Jing, who built the embankment, it is indeed appropriate to build temples and sacrifices along the Yellow River. "When you do verification next year, take people to the embankment for inspection and confirm that there is no problem, just build temples and sacrifices, and let the local bureaucrats perform sacrifices according to the specifications."
"Okay, I'll take people to see you then." Chen Xi nodded and said. Although history has proved that Wang Jing's embankment can last at least 800 years, what Liu Bei said is indeed fine. Go and take a look and make sure there is no problem. It is better to build a temple after you make sure there is no problem.
"We should pay attention to the inspection of the Yellow River. The river officials have arranged more. After all, it has been more than a hundred years, and there may be some hidden dangers. Moreover, Wu Ken will not be aimless. He will definitely have news channels when reporting. Since this is the case, be careful and let the river embankment commander strengthen patrols and get all the embankments." Liu Bei said very cautiously.
Stop sending me some pictures of the elbows coming and going of the Yellow River. My book will not flood the Yellow River in this era. If you don’t understand, please check Wang Jing. This is also a star of human beings. He proves that the Yellow River can be controlled and can be done in one step. In the future, just follow his operating manual to maintain it. Unfortunately, the latecomers are too confident...
