Chapter 158: To cure the disease, we must cure the root

The hardest hit areas of the human trafficking in the Great Song Dynasty were women and children, the former being easy to sell, and the latter being easy to abduct.

Those who are poor and can't marry a daughter-in-law want to buy a daughter-in-law, those who have money in the family but their wives can't give birth to a son want to buy a concubine, and some simply buy a son to inherit the incense, or just buy a child and then harvest it.

It's better to be like Bianjing, after all, it is the best place at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and many things don't dare to come out clearly, even the beggars don't dare to be too arrogant. But outside of Bianjing, human trafficking has almost rampant to the point where the government is treated as nothing-

During the time of Song Renzong, Zhou Zhan, the criminal officer of Guangdong South Road, once cracked a major human trafficking case and rescued more than 2,600 abducted people!

You know, this is just a South Guangdong Road, just a cracked human trafficking case! And there are a total of fourteen administrative divisions on the main road! God knows how many similar cases remain undiscovered!

From the perspective of a modern soul, Zhao Huan can't accept the existence of such a thing as human trafficking.

From the emperor's point of view, Zhao Huan could not tolerate anyone competing with him for the right to harvest leeks by buying and selling people

The two parties to the transaction of buying and selling human beings will never pay a penny of commercial tax for buying and selling human beings, and the taxes that should have been created by the sold ding will disappear when the sold ding disappears from the household register.

If it is a woman who is trafficked, in addition to the taxes they should have paid, the child born is also a new batch of leeks......

"In addition to those who plunder and sell people, they should also be killed!"

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, Zhao Huan simply put down the wine glass in his hand, and said murderously: "In the future, if anyone dares to be bought, the parents will be executed, and the rest will be exiled for three thousand miles!" Half of his property went to the treasury and half to the Salesian Bureau! ”

"Think twice!"

As soon as Zhao Huan's words fell, Wang Shiyong, Li Gang, Li Ruobing and others were taken aback, and even Empress Zhu couldn't help but persuade her: "Is it too much to punish the law so harshly?" ”

Zhao Huan said: "It's too much? What if it was Chen Er who was trafficked? I think it's too light! I remember that the people could go to the Salesian Bureau to adopt children, and the government would give money, which was a clear way. Since there is such a big road and I don't go to the dead road, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan snorted coldly again and said, "The so-called strong youth is strong and the country is strong." I will eventually grow old, and everyone here will grow old slowly, isn't the future of this Great Song Dynasty just falling on these children? ”

"And this Song criminal system."

Zhao Huan said: "The so-called time shifts and things change, the Song criminal system is applicable to the beginning of the founding of the country, but it is not necessarily applicable to the present, and it is time to revise it." ”

Li Gang, Li Ruobing and the others all felt that their brains were a little insufficient-

The official family was still talking about harvesting and cutting and selling the population a little, right? Why is it suddenly on to the Song criminal system now?

However, Zhao Huan was determined to revise the Song criminal system.

Strictly speaking, the "Song Criminal System", which basically copied the "Tang Law and Discussion", was not applicable to the social environment of the Great Song Dynasty at all, because the Tang Dynasty was a dual-track system of the emperor and the military town, while the Great Song Dynasty was a small court system with strong cadres and weak branches.

The so-called small court system, in addition to the absence of the land system, the use of taxes and certain industries to buy the contract system, is more similar to the Taoist rule of inaction, that is, pay attention to governance without prohibition is permission.

In the early days of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, this kind of small court system could allow the people to recuperate well, but when it came to the prosperous era, the disadvantages of this small court system appeared-

The upper echelons of the court are lazy and inactive, and the officials at the bottom are acting recklessly with the power in their hands, and the credibility from the court to the government is almost zero, and the common people do not take the law very seriously.

To put it bluntly, all the problems of the entire Great Song Dynasty, no matter how you go around and around, in the final analysis, there is actually only one point, that is, the problem of the system and laws of the Great Song Dynasty itself.

As for the problems that many time-travelers in the traverser training base have repeatedly studied, such as not suppressing annexation, emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, unreasonable taxation, redundant officials and redundant government and redundant army, they are actually derived from the system and law of the Great Song Dynasty itself.

As the saying goes, to cure the root cause, if this problem is not solved, no matter how the rest is changed, it can only be regarded as a symptom, and it cannot be cured at all, so there is a saying that people die and the government rests-

Countless people in the Great Song Dynasty have seen the drawbacks of this problem and even planned to change it, so there were the Xining reform presided over by Wang Anshi and the Qingli New Deal presided over by Fan Zhongyan.

In addition to the implementation of welfare systems such as the Nursing Home, Anjifang and Leaky Garden, there were also new policies such as the establishment of new Biyong, the development of Taixue, the resumption of the establishment of medicine, the establishment of specialized schools such as arithmetic, calligraphy, and painting, the boycott of the imperial examination, and the change of schools to take scholars.

However, the miraculous thing is that the emperors and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty presided over the changes again and again, but in the end they ended in failure again and again, and in the end, it was the people who were supposed to benefit from the unlucky.

For this situation, future generations can analyze countless reasons for failure, and the traverser training base is even more of a succession of countless people rushing forward to try to change this situation.

But in the end, there is only one reason for failure:

The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had no military power in his hands!

Here's a very simple example. In history, all the dynasties that can be counted and remembered by others, except for Zhao Da, who is not right, those founding emperors are not afraid of chaos in the world-

The old hooligan uses the Confucian hat as a urinal, and Zhu Chongba makes people work with shackles, and he can pick up a big case involving tens of thousands of people at every turn. Not to mention the eternal teachers who even smashed the Confucian Temple.

Why? Because these emperors have military branches in their hands, they are not afraid of chaos!

And the Emperor of the Zhao family ......

Zhao Da was not in the right position, after the release of military power with a glass of wine, he had to rely on the literati to suppress the generals, Zhao Er's axe sounded and the candle shadow, the Gaoliang River rode a donkey and drifted and defeated the founding army, the emperor of the Zhao family wanted to share the world with the scholars, and the military had to rely on the generals to suppress the rebellion, but he did not have a reliable army in his hands.

Therefore, when the emperor of the Zhao family wanted to change, the original vested interest groups of the Great Song Dynasty would fight back wildly, and the counterattack in the court did not achieve the incitement of civil rebellion, and the people were more willing to kill people and set fire to be recruited......

And Zhao Huan's greatest confidence comes from the forbidden army formed after killing Yan Zonghan - if you have the ability, the entire Great Song Dynasty will be in chaos, and if it's a big deal, you will fight the world again!

Thinking of the forbidden army stationed outside Bianjing City for training, the corners of Zhao Huan's mouth couldn't help but curl: "This time, I not only want to revise the "Song Criminal System", but also stipulate that women in the world can also study and work. ”
