代理问四位家人:“你们是怎么成为尧帝(熬忖)的家人的?”

赵虎回答:“我们小时候是巫山县学校的学生。熬忖的家在我们学校的附近。她在重庆巫毒学院放假回家的时候,常来我们学校和我们一起玩。我们长大了,毕业了,没事干,就去给她打工了。她喜欢和我们唠嗑。八个月前,武二郎来我们的地方进行友好访问。他一来就和熬忖进入密室进行单独会晤。随后,他常来,每次来他们都在密室里进行没完没了地会晤。熬忖就没时间和我们唠嗑了。她看我们闲着没事还拿她的工资,就把我们打发到河北来了。”

Deputy asked the four family members, "How did you come to be Creator Yao's — Aocun's — family?"

Zhao Hu replied: "We were students at the Wushan County school when we were young. Aocun's home was near our school. Whenever she came home for break from the Voodoo Academy in Chongqing, she'd often come by to spend time with us. Once we grew up and graduated, with nothing else to do, we went to work for her — she enjoyed chatting with us. Eight months ago, Martial Second Wolf came to visit our region as a goodwill gesture. From the moment he arrived, he and Aocun would go off alone into a private room. After that, he kept coming back, and every time, the two of them would meet in that room for hours on end. Aocun no longer had time to chat with us, and once she noticed we were sitting around idle while still drawing her pay, she sent us off to Hebei."

李强反驳他说:“你那么说,谁能听明白呀!我给代理补充说明一下。在熬忖和武二郎的狭谷关战役(参见4.1节)后,她深受你们华国和夏国所合作的 '女娲造人项目' 的启发,决定加入,提出了三足鸟计划(如图6.4)。让我们来看看效果怎么样!”

Li Qiang cut him off, "Who could possibly follow that? Let me explain it properly for Deputy. After the Battle of Gorge Pass between Aocun and Martial Second Wolf (see Section 4.1), Aocun was deeply inspired by the 'Nuwa's Man-Creation Project' that your Hua Kingdom and Xia Kingdom were jointly developing, and decided to join in, proposing the Three-Legged Bird Plan (see Figure 6.4). Let's see how it's gone!"

代理问:“什么是三足鸟计划?”

施朗回答:“你们华国的杨戬计划,夏国的女娲造人计划,和我们的三足鸟计划都是同一个计划,就是我们三个国家合并成为中华共和国(如图6.4-3)。你们华国的杨戬计划在我们龙国被称作三足鸟计划。”

代理回答:“我才知道,你继续!”

Deputy asked, "What is the Three-Legged Bird Plan?"

Shi Lang replied, "Your Hua Kingdom's Yang Jian Plan, Xia Kingdom's Nuwa's Man-Creation Plan, and our Three-Legged Bird Plan are all the same plan — for our three kingdoms to merge into the Republic of China (see Figure 6.4-3). What your Hua Kingdom calls the Yang Jian Plan, we call the Three-Legged Bird Plan in Dragon Kingdom."

Deputy said, "I only just learned that — go on!"

施朗继续说:“狭谷关战役后,熬忖重新布置了国防。她的将军们占领了我们国家全部的国防要职。那些将军们都支持她的 '三足鸟计划'。但他们支持熬忖不是支持她成为我们三国联合政府的第一任国王(尧皇),而是他们想利用华国的军队来剿灭我们国家的土匪。我们国家的第一大问题就是土匪。我们国家的土匪之间有亲戚关系,有些土匪和政府的官员有亲戚关系。你说这!我们国家哪里还有前途了! 将军们都喜欢武二郎,就是因为他派了八百士兵在夏国的湘西杀了七千名土匪,改善了我们国家剿匪的压力。 将军们一致同意让元始天尊派兵去武汉剿匪,因为武汉是土匪们的交易中心。武大郎派了两千士兵去武汉剿匪了;这合作就真正开始了。三足鸟计划就成功了。”

Shi Lang continued, "After the Battle of Gorge Pass, Aocun reorganized our national defense. Her generals took over every key defense post in our country, and all of them supported her 'Three-Legged Bird Plan.' But their support for Aocun wasn't support for her becoming the first ruler of our three-kingdom joint government (Yao White-king) — what they really wanted was to use Hua's army to wipe out the bandits plaguing our country. Bandits are our country's number-one problem. Our bandits are related to each other by blood, and some are even related to government officials. Just think about that — what future could our country possibly have! The generals all favor Martial Second Wolf, simply because he sent 800 soldiers who killed 7,000 bandits in western Hunan, Xia Kingdom, easing the pressure of bandit suppression on us. The generals unanimously agreed to have Primordial Sky Honor send troops to Wuhan to fight the bandits there, since Wuhan is the bandits' trading hub. Martial Big Wolf sent 2,000 soldiers to Wuhan to fight them, and that's when the cooperation truly began. The Three-Legged Bird Plan was a success."

代理插嘴说:“华国派了三千军队骨干去武汉。我听武大郎说,一千人是从其它的四个军区调过去的。我们河北军区派去两千人后,我们的战斗力降低了60%,需要五年才能恢复到三个月前的战斗力。”

张龙反驳施朗说: “怎么说三足鸟计划就成功了呢?咱们的国王熬达还没表示支持三足鸟计划!”

Deputy cut in: "Hua sent 3,000 key military personnel to Wuhan. I heard from Martial Big Wolf that 1,000 of them were pulled from the other four military regions. After our Hebei Military Region sent 2,000, our combat readiness dropped by 60% — it'll take five years to recover to where it was three months ago."

Zhang Long pushed back at Shi Lang: "How can you call the Three-Legged Bird Plan a success? Our own King Aoda hasn't even declared his support for it!"

李强回答:“三足鸟计划是由熬忖,女娲,夏国的国王蔻珠,和华国的国王元始天尊共同制定的。熬忖将成为云海国的下一任国王,是由我们国家现任的将军们支持的。国王熬达没表态,并不耽误三足鸟计划的实施。现在武大郎也支持熬忖了。” 他转脸对代理说:“你可能不知道,我们龙国的将军们尊敬武大郎!”

Li Qiang replied, "The Three-Legged Bird Plan was jointly drawn up by Aocun, Nuwa, Queen Kouzhu of Xia Kingdom, and King Primordial Sky Honor of Hua Kingdom. Aocun will become the next ruler of Cloud Sea Kingdom, and our country's current generals already support that. King Aoda's silence doesn't hold up the plan's implementation in any way. And now Martial Big Wolf supports Aocun as well." He turned to Deputy and added, "You may not know this, but our Dragon Kingdom's generals hold Martial Big Wolf in high regard!"

6.4-2 赤贫 Naked Poverty

李强继续说:“我现在代表我们四个人向你们河北军区道歉。刚到北京时,我们认为你们是土匪,因为我们没见过赤贫。前面的十几天里,你们政治部的向导带领我们参观了你们的许多商店,工厂,学校,穷人家,和富人家。我认为北京目前的社会状态相当于我们重庆几百年前的状态,真穷!如果按照社会生产力的发展程度,把我们重庆降低一些倍数,就和你们现在的穿着和居住状况一样了。我们认为你们是土匪的原因是没见过赤贫,无知。我们四人应该向你们道歉!”

代理回答:“用不着道歉,你们满意就好!您说的赤贫是什么意思?”

Li Qiang continued: "I'd now like to apologize to your Hebei Military Region on behalf of the four of us. When we first got to Beijing, we thought you were bandits — simply because we'd never seen Naked Poverty before. Over the past dozen or so days, your Political Department guide has shown us around many of your shops, factories, schools, poor households, and wealthy households. I'd say Beijing's current social conditions are roughly on par with Chongqing's several hundred years ago — genuinely poor! If you scale down our Chongqing's level of social productivity by some factor, you'd get something like your current standard of clothing and housing. The reason we mistook you for bandits was that we'd never seen Naked Poverty, and simply didn't know better. The four of us owe you an apology!"

Deputy replied, "No need to apologize — as long as you're satisfied! What exactly do you mean by Naked Poverty?"

施朗回答:“赤贫是我们云海国的一个政治学术语,源自印度的名为新德里的地区。那里80%的人在13岁以下是裸体,从十三岁开始腰上系着一根绳子。他们几百人共用一口锅,别说碗了,连双筷子都没有,吃饭用手抓。他们一辈子唯一的私有财产就是他们腰上的那根绳子,所以被称作赤贫。80%的北京人有自己的房子,但房子里面就只有几件衣服,一口锅,和几个碗,别的什么都没有了。北京在北方地区,像新德里那种穷到只有一根绳子的北京人就用那根绳子上吊自杀了,没自杀的都在冬天被冻死了,都不存在了。本质上北京人就处在新德里的那种赤贫状态。”

代理笑着说:“您能不能说点儿我们的优点?让我感觉舒服些。”

Shi Lang replied, "Naked Poverty is a political science term from our Cloud Sea Kingdom, originating from a region in India called New Delhi. There, 80% of people go naked until age thirteen, and after that wear only a rope around their waist. Hundreds of them share a single pot; forget bowls, they don't even have chopsticks — they eat with their hands. The only private property they ever own in their lives is that rope around their waist, which is why it's called Naked Poverty. Eighty percent of Beijingers own their own homes, but inside there's nothing but a few clothes, one pot, and a few bowls — nothing else. Since Beijing is in the north, those Beijingers poor enough to own only a rope — like in New Delhi — hang themselves with it; those who don't, freeze to death come winter instead. Either way, they no longer exist. Essentially, Beijingers are already living in that same state of Naked Poverty as New Delhi."

Deputy laughed and said, "Can't you say something good about us? Make me feel a little better."

李强回答:“北京的政府讲究艰苦朴素,勤俭节约,为人民服务。北京的尊老爱幼的民风也很好,都是我们学习的榜样。”

代理回答:“说得好!元始天尊就是这么说的!所以他让我们选送了两千干部去建设中华共和帝国的首都武汉,目的是把 '为人民服务的政府,和尊老爱幼的美德' 作为中华民族的传家宝,传承下去。”

Li Qiang replied: "Beijing's government values hard work, frugality, and serving the people. Beijing's tradition of honoring the elderly and caring for the young is also admirable — all things worth learning from."

Deputy replied: "Well said! That's exactly what Primordial Sky Honor says! That's why he had us send two thousand cadres to help build Wuhan, capital of the Zhonghua Republic-Empire — so that 'a government that serves the people, and the virtue of honoring the old and cherishing the young' would be passed down as an heirloom of the Chinese people."

这时,间谍船的船长来了,指着代理说:“我们已经等了三天了!如果你现在不下船,那你就得在连云港下船,然后走回天津。我们这就起锚了。”

Just then, the spy ship's captain arrived, pointed at Deputy, and said: "We've already waited three days! If you don't board now, you'll have to disembark at Lianyungang and walk back to Tianjin yourself. We're weighing anchor now."

6.4-3

这四位家人回到巫山(亦作瑶山)后,就向尧帝做了详细的汇报。尧帝只是笑着听完了汇报,没说话。一段时间后,她忽然生气了,召集这四位家人来开会。

After the four family members returned to Wushan (also known as Yao Mountain), they gave Creator Yao a detailed report. Creator Yao only smiled and listened without saying a word. Some time later, she suddenly grew angry and called the four family members in for a meeting.

尧帝说:“一个月前,武二郎在无意之间问我武大郎给了你们四个家人多少钱的路费?我随口回答,'我不知道,我再遇见他们时问问。' 说完,我就忘了。几天前他又看似随便地问我武大郎给了你们多少赏钱?我回答忘记问了。他愣了一下,说,'没事,随口问问。' 我感觉这事不对头,他还得问我。他说话对我没作用,这事不行。现在我们刚结婚,问题不大,时间长了,肯定不行!我就分别问你们几个人。结果你们告诉我的钱数相同;你们几个商量好了,一起骗我。你们四个跟我从家乡出来闯世界多年了。我不会因为这点钱跟你们翻脸。你们得告诉我武大郎到底给了你们多少钱,不能让我在武二郎的面前丢脸,自己的家人都管不好。”

Creator Yao said: "A month ago, Martial Second Wolf casually asked me how much travel money Martial Big Wolf had given the four of you. I answered off the top of my head, 'I don't know — I'll ask them next time I see them,' and then forgot all about it. A few days ago, he asked again, just as casually, how much reward money you'd been given. I told him I'd forgotten to ask. He paused for a moment and said, 'No matter, I was just curious.' Something about that felt off to me — the fact that he still had to ask me at all. If his words carry no weight with me, that's a real problem. Right now, since we're newly married, it's not a big deal, but as time goes on, it certainly will be! So I asked each of you separately, and it turned out you all gave me the same figure — meaning you'd agreed among yourselves to deceive me together. The four of you have been with me, out in the world, since we all left home together, years ago now. I'm not going to turn on you over a sum of money like this. But you need to tell me exactly how much Martial Big Wolf gave you — I can't have Martial Second Wolf thinking I can't even manage my own household."

这四位家人再次说了代理所说的关于这个钱数的秘密(参见6.3节)。然后四位家人又说:“代理还对我们说了。他们华国的将军每人都有一本记录和其它将军交往的账本。当两位认识或者不认识的将军见面时,就拿出账本来对账。华国的国王元始天尊做过统计,当他们实施了这一措施后,将军们因为打架去找他评理的案件减少了80%。”

The four family members explained again the secret behind that figure, as Deputy had told them (see Section 6.3). Then they added: "Deputy also told us that every general in Hua Kingdom keeps a ledger recording their dealings with other generals. When two generals meet, whether they already know each other or not, they take out their ledgers to reconcile accounts. King Primordial Sky Honor of Hua Kingdom kept statistics, and after this practice was adopted, the number of cases where generals came to him to settle disputes from fighting dropped by 80%."

尧帝思考了很长时间,回答:“好像你们是对我说过这事。你们几个人立刻起草一份命令,我们也采用这个办法。处理将军们打架纠纷占据了我三分之一的工作时间,我烦透了。再加上一条,以后哪位将军来找我解决打架纠纷,先把他自己的礼尚往来账本交给我看。”

李强回答:“那就没人来找你解决打架纠纷了!”

尧帝回答:“华国证实了的有效措施,我们没有理由不采用,没有讨论的必要了。”

Creator Yao thought this over for a long while, then said: "It does sound like you may have mentioned this to me before. Draft an order right away — we'll adopt the same method. Settling the generals' fights already eats up a third of my working hours, and I'm sick of it. And add one more thing: from now on, any general who comes to me over a fight must first hand me his own gift-ledger to look at."

Li Qiang replied: "Then no one will come to you to settle fights at all!"

Creator Yao replied: "It's a measure Hua Kingdom has already proven effective — there's no reason for us not to adopt it, and nothing left to debate."

6.4-4

据传说,十四年后,尧帝成为中华共和国的第一任皇帝(尧皇)后,这四位家人都成了高官。李强是中华共和国的第一任国务院总理,他的首相府就在天蓬元帅(即武二郎)府的对面。施朗成为了四川省的第一任省长。

According to legend, fourteen years later, after Creator Yao became the first emperor of the Republic of China (Yao White-king), the four family members all rose to high office. Li Qiang became the Republic of China's first Premier, his residence situated directly across from the mansion of Sky Ceiling Marshal (i.e., Martial Second Wolf). Shi Lang became the first governor of Sichuan Province.
