Chapter 24 A classic is a classic

Chapter 24: Classics are classics

A unified country cannot be called unified just because its territory is unified.

The prerequisite for a country's great unification is that it has a high degree of ideological identity and a strong emotional sense of belonging. Only then can it be called great unification.

In China's thousands of years of history, there have been very few eras that can be called unified, and the areas that can be unified are also very small.

Among them, the Central Plains and Guanzhong, which have been mentioned countless times in history books, can be called a great unification.

Even when the Han Dynasty was at its strongest, the Hanzhong area where Yun Zhao was now was not considered a unified area. They were always rebelling and separatist themselves.

The unification that Yun Zhao wanted was different from that of Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Ancestors.

He has been creating a concept, a concept called "China". Only when this concept is completely formed and recognized can Yun Zhao think that he has completed the unification.

The sense of identity and belonging is the foundation of a dynasty or a country.

There is no doubt that the more solid this foundation is, the longer this dynasty or country will survive.

Even high-end talents like Xu Wuxiang only have a vague impression of the concept of country.

So, he somewhat did not understand Yun Zhao's picky pursuit.

How can educating people like Xu Wuxiang be effective?

Therefore, Yun Zhao and Xu Wuxiang visited Hanzhong and talked all the way.

They started talking about the earliest Five Pecks of Rice religion, and finally talked about the pragmatism of the people in Hanzhong. The final conclusion was that the people in Hanzhong have not yet had an independent regional concept.

This requires guidance, and it is best to start from the baby.

Yun Zhao has a bad view on this generation. He even believes that it is difficult for people who have experienced the dark ages to become pure and pure in heart. However, in Hanzhong, which has been repeatedly ravaged by thieves and bandits, human nature is The light has long since collapsed.

It is too difficult to reshape humanity in these people.

Fortunately, time is the best healing medicine.

All disasters will pass. This is the last hope for people to live.

Nearly four hundred village chiefs from Hanzhong came.

Some people were very excited when they saw Yun Zhao, and even burst into tears, while some people seemed very indifferent when they saw Yun Zhao.

This is something that can't be helped. The people who are excited are all the village chiefs who were promoted from Hanzhong, and the people who are indifferent are those who come from Lantian or even Yushan Academy.

The two groups of people are clearly distinct.

Those guys who came from Lantian took the initiative to give up their seats in front to those fanatics, and looked like they were looking at country bumpkins.

Yun Zhao naturally has two attitudes towards these two types of people.

Treat the fanatics with a smile and great enthusiasm. Respond to these people's enthusiasm with high enthusiasm. No criticism. Just ask if they are safe, if their family members are healthy, if they are doing well in their position, and if they are doing well. If you have any difficulties that need to be solved, feel free to raise them.

These local chiefs all firmly stated that there are no difficulties and that even if there are difficulties, they can be overcome. As long as the county officials are there, there will be no obstacles that cannot be overcome in the world.

Yun Zhao was not stingy with his words of praise at all. Yun Zhao mentioned all the names that he could remember from the list prepared by Xu Wuxiang the day before, and thanked them for their work. Thanks to them for standing up and shouldering heavy responsibilities when the people of Hanzhong needed help the most.

The local chiefs also swore that they would dedicate their lives to the great cause of Lantian.

After entertaining the local chiefs and sending them out, Yun Zhao looked back at the chiefs from Lantian, and his expression immediately darkened.

"I handed over Hanzhong to you, I handed over the people of Hanzhong to you... It has been three years, and this is the answer sheet you handed me?

You told me a year ago I said that all the savages on the mountain have come down to settle down. Liu Pei, tell me, the savages I saw in the Qinling Mountains are not humans, but monkeys, right?

Also, the land in Hanzhong is fertile, and until now, How much land have you reclaimed?

Have you really put the livestock, grain, tools, and funds that your colleagues in Lantian City have dug out of your teeth to use?

In three years, Ningxia Town has become self-sufficient and has enough food to supply Lantian. What about Hanzhong?

Our investment in Hanzhong even exceeded the investment in Ningxia Town, but what about the output..."

Xu Wu wanted to look up at the sky. The elders also raised their heads to look at the sky. If they have any achievements, they will be scolded first. This is Yun Zhao's basic habit. Now everyone thinks that they are sleepwalking. When Yun Zhao says the word "but", their souls will return to their bodies. Not too late either.

This is what Guan Youzi does.

However, when these words were heard by the local officials waiting outside to attend the banquet, their faces turned pale. Their achievements were far inferior to those of the officials from Lantian.

At this time, they were praised by the county magistrate, but these colleagues who had done greater achievements and done more things were being scolded...

Of course, there were also some who were even more generous. I hope that at this moment I can be scolded together with these village chiefs from Lantian.

"But..."

Yun Zhao's words finally began to change, and the group of people stretched their ears and began to listen carefully.

I listened to the county magistrate’s empty praise for a long time, but I didn’t hear the county magistrate asking everyone to put themselves out of trouble. If he was so supportive, everyone was disappointed.

Just now, the county magistrate askedThose stupid local mayors have problems that need to be solved by him, but those idiots gave up the great opportunity. How stupid!

Now that the county magistrate doesn’t say this anymore, it means that we can’t get more powerful support.

“You are mature officials, and you must have the awareness and consciousness of mature officials!

To develop people’s livelihood in a place, you must make the best use of the existing resources at hand, and you cannot blindly ask your superiors Asking for help... Think about what I had in my hands when I started government affairs in Lantian?

What did our group of people have in their hands?

Except for a group of poor bandits? I have nothing outside... Use your brains... Hanzhong is a fertile land... You should strive to at least be self-sufficient and have a surplus next year...

The situation in Xiangyang and Wuchang Much worse than you, I hope you can take your responsibilities and clarify our ideals... Hanzhong has been pacified, and you have to go on a new journey.

If you can't even do this in Hanzhong now. If it can't be done, how can I expect you to open up a new world?"

Yun Zhao was very excited when he spoke, but the oil-skinned officials below were not excited at all.

They were deceived by Yun Zhao to leave the prosperous Guanzhong. They carried a simple salute on their backs, said goodbye to their relatives, and embarked on the road of saving the people without hesitation. After more than two years of training.

Their enthusiasm has been almost exhausted, leaving only a sense of responsibility for down-to-earth work.

The biggest difference between Hanzhong and Guanzhong is the people's sense of identification with the government.

In Guanzhong, just saying hello can gather thousands of people to participate in the vigorous large-scale production movement. In Hanzhong, the first thing people want to ask before working is the whereabouts of their wages.

In Lantian County, there is no need to pay the people at all to build the reservoir. The people understand that the reservoir is built for themselves, and it will increase the amount of irrigated land for their families...

In The common people in Hanzhong don't see it that way. They think that building the reservoir is a matter for the government and has nothing to do with them. If the government needs their efforts, they must give money.

The amount of money and grain calculated by these village chiefs was all consumed in a short period of time.

If Xu Wuxiang hadn’t demonstrated Lantian’s unparalleled force when suppressing bandits in Hanzhong, distributed land to farmers, and sold state-owned land wantonly in the city, he could have barely managed to survive. The situation in Hanzhong.

Now, the county magistrate requires everyone to work hard to produce and generate a surplus next year. Many village leaders think this is an impossible task.

However, since Yun Zhao is here, he naturally comes with support.

The officials in Hanzhong are well aware of this.

So, when Yun Zhao began to hand over supplies to Xu Wu, these officials had a smile on their faces.

The work of transforming it into a big one is done, nextJust individual conversations.

After listening to the complaints from the representatives of the district chiefs, Yun Zhao realized that years of war had devastated the land of Hanzhong.

If you want to organize production on a white land, only Lantian can do it. However, if you want to quickly restore the vitality of Hanzhong in a short period of time, that is something that only gods can do.

Hanzhong Prefecture has a vast territory and many mountainous areas, and the ordinary people have been turned into savages by the rogue bandits. It will take time for the Lantian people to redirect these savages into farmers, craftsmen, and fishermen. < /p>

The situation in Wuchang will be somewhat better. It is a land of plenty and is close to the big lake, making survival easier.

My Lord, when you go to Xiangyang and Wuchang, please encourage the soldiers and civilians there.

The ideological unity you want should be slow down first. "

Yun Zhaodao: "I have issued documents regarding the unification of thoughts more than once. I always felt that you were fooling me. Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

This is a big mistake in your work. "

Xu Wuxiang smiled bitterly and said: "We have studied what you said, but where to start? "

Yun Zhao looked at Xu Wu and thought: "You are also a talented person in the academy, why don't you know how to adapt? "

Xu Wu thought: "People's hearts are separated from each other, how can we adapt? It's impossible to put my heart into their bellies. Even if it could be done, how many bellies can my heart hold?

Yun Zhao lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said: "A poor tenant named Yang Bailao made a living by farming. His wife died early, leaving only him A daughter who depends on each other... He owes a debt to the local tyrant and evil gentry Huang Shiren's family...

Poor Yang Bailao was forced by the landlord's housekeeper Mu Renzhi to commit suicide by hanging from a beam. Poor Xi'er was also snatched into the house by Huang Shiren. After all kinds of torture, I finally escaped into the mountains on a snowy night... In a short time, my whole body turned white...

Fortunately, you brought someone here... I accidentally discovered this poor woman , this woman asked you to avenge her, so you led the people to capture Huang Shiren, and Mu Renzhiming punished her..."

"Gudong! "

Xu Wuxiang swallowed hard and said: "Is there such a thing? "

Yun Zhao blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Are those savages living a better life than Xi'er? "

"That's not the case, County Lord, what do you mean by this story? "

" Gu Hengbo, a dancer at Mingyue Tower, is using this story as the main line to create a song and dance called - The White-Haired Girl. "

"Performing in Mingyue Tower? ”

“No, she is now performing in Mingyue Tower, and then they will pay to teach countless dancers to play the role of White-Haired Girl, and finally, she willThis dance is for all the people to see! ”

“What’s the purpose? ”

“The people are being harmed by thieves and bandits, so they have to find a way to vent their anger, right? We cannot be the doormats, then we will have to deal with the Ming government and the bandits.

Xu Wuxiang inspired hatred in the hearts of the people and inspired their love for a new life. This is the beginning of what I call unified thinking. ”
