After Ma Zhiyuan finished reading the edict on Mu Wei and others, he took out the second document, but it was an edict.

"King Tang's edict! The edict said: First, Zhu Wen usurped with Xuanwu, the former Tang Dynasty overturned, and then Liang was established. The evil of opening five generations of usurpation, and then multi-effecting, so that the Han family declined, the Khitan took advantage of it, the two Song Dynasty were weak, and the initiator was Wen. ”

"Wen Wudao, more than ten years after the founding of the country, died. The politics of the five dynasties, especially Zhu Liang's tyranny, is tragic and outrageous. And Wen even used the gift of incestuous people, and his son had to kill him, and then he fell. The disaster of the ancient emperor's family is no better than this. ”

"This generation of tigers and jackals, rebellious and unreasonable, gathering evil in one, losing morality in the world, leaving poison for hundreds of years, how can they be emperors! Behind the beam, where is the orthodoxy? ”

"Today, change the five generations to the four generations, abolish the name of Hou Liang, and replace it with Xuanwu and the Rebellion Domain. In addition, the abolition of Emperor Zhu Wen, the replacement of Zhu Rebellion, the abolition of the Chess Tomb, the temple number, the name of the Emperor..."

When the ministers heard such a harsh treatment of Zhu Wen hundreds of years ago, they couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in their hearts.

The king did not recognize Hou Liang as a dynasty at all, let alone Zhu Wen as Liang Taizu. Moreover, the frequent usurpation of the five dynasties led to a great injury to the vitality of the Central Plains, resulting in the southern invasion of the Khitan, and the reason for the weakness of the two Song dynasties was attributed to Zhu Wen.

Was Zhu Wen wronged?

It seems to be somewhat wronged. But when they think about it, they also feel that they are not wronged.

The usurpation rebellions of the five dynasties were so frequent, at least Zhu Wen made a bad start. This also made the Song Kuangyin brothers overkill and suppress the warriors, resulting in a weak army.

However, Zhu Wen can't afford such a big responsibility at all, at best he is only partially responsible. But because this person's character is too bad and his personal morality is too bad, no one sympathizes with him.

Who taught the king to be a descendant of Li Tang? It's no wonder that Zhu Wen is unlucky.

It's ridiculous that hundreds of years after Zhu Wen's death, the title of emperor was taken off all of a sudden.

Ma Zhiyuan continued: "Reprint the "History of the Five Dynasties", "Zizhi Tongjian", and the five dynasties have been changed to four generations. The year name of Xuanwu against the domain was also abolished and changed to the year name of Mourning Sect Tianyou. Chin this! ”

Okay, the back beam is gone.

Wen Tianxiang, Zheng Sixiao and others felt that it was not appropriate. After all, Houliang does exist, how can it be erased with an edict? This is no small matter.

However, considering the status of the king, they could not advise either, because it hindered filial piety.

Li Luo saw that the ministers did not object, and he was very satisfied with his operation. This edict was announced, and his origin in the Li family in Longxi and his identity as a descendant of Li Tang were really hammered.

But Li Luo's operation is not over yet.

Ma Zhiyuan began to read out the third edict:

"King Tang's edict! Said: Datang rules the world with Taoism and does its own thing with soldiers. There are four scholars, called scribes, warriors, priests, and Taoists. ”

It means that the Tang Dynasty governs the world with great avenues and implements it with scholars. Scholars were divided into scribes, samurai, scholars, and Taoist priests.

This elevated the samurai, the priest, and the Taoist priest to the same status as the scribe.

Needless to say, there have been samurai since ancient times. Taoist priests, now the Tang people are no strangers, they are Taoist officials at all levels of Taoist temples. What is Crits?

A lot of people don't understand.

But I heard Ma Zhiyuan continue to read: "Scribes, study the subset of scriptures and history, humanities and arts, civilization and education." Samurai, the study of military martial arts, tactics and strategy. Leoch, study the way of nature, the wonder of mathematics and physics, and the ingenuity of craftsmanship. Taoist priests, study the Taoist scriptures, carry forward the avenue, preach the world, and unite the hearts of the Chinese people. ”

This time, everyone understood. It turned out that those craftsmen belonged to the Leochists.

The Leoch that Li Luo made up is actually a scientist and engineer. It's just a different name.

This edict was made up by him and Cui Xiuning a long time ago, but it has never been officially announced. Leoch is a completely new thing, and it is a great challenge to the old literati, and Li Luo decided to take it out while he had just imprisoned the country to stop the least.

Obviously, the direction of practice of these four kinds of scholars is also arranged.

Scribes, in fact, are not traditional Confucian scholars anymore. Li Luo's edict said that those who study the subset of scripture and history, humanities and arts, and civilization and education belong to the scribes.

Lo and behold, there is a new term for "humanities and arts".

In other words, not only a Confucian scholar belonged to a scribe, but also a playwright, a musician, and a scribe!

Li Luo's scribes were actually practitioners of the humanities in later generations.

Scribes used it to educate and prosper art and culture. A samurai is a soldier and a police officer, defending his family and country. The priests were responsible for the research and manufacturing technology of natural objects, and the Taoist priests were used to sacrifice and preach, unify the Chinese ideology and people's hearts, and resist the erosion of paganism.

Each performs its own duties and influences each other. Li Luo is still using scholars to govern the country, but his taxis are no longer the same.

Then came the fourth edict: "... promulgated and published the "Treatise on the Great Dao", and all mortals studied it..."

Taoism is more scientific and philosophical, and it is better to replace the dominance of Confucianism. However, the Taoism of the Tang State was actually a new Taoism, which integrated Confucianism.

Through Zheng Sixiao's efforts, the theoretical system of Naru as the Tao has been fully established. Zheng Sixiao's "Theory of the Great Dao" clearly stated that Confucianism is a branch of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and belongs to the way of man. Therefore, Confucian scholars are also Taoist believers.

According to the Great Dao Theory, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth includes the way of reason (natural science) and the way of man (humanistic morality).

The way of reason includes the way of things, the way of numbers, the way of medicine, the way of craftsmen, the way of agriculture, etc.; The way of man also includes the way of the king, the way of the minister, the way of the martial arts, and the way of the people.

The conclusion is that the Dao of Heaven and Earth is the truth determined by the will of God Haotian, and anyone who can follow the Dao should follow their own Dao.

Wen Tianxiang also read "The Theory of the Great Road". His understanding is that the king is actually retro and improving, preserving the essence of the hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin era and removing its dross, and then integrating it into one, and then outlining it in the name of Taoism.

It's really a stroke of genius that has never been heard of for years. It is best to unite people's hearts, educate the world, and govern the country.

All of them are for my use! The king's talent is strategic, which can be seen from this.

Li Luo has read "The Great Dao Theory" and feels that the logical reasoning is extremely strict, there are no loopholes, and he is ready to issue an edict to print it and distribute it all over the world.

In the past few decades, after the death of the Jin Dynasty and the destruction of the Song Dynasty, the murderous Meng Yuan, the Confucian forces have been dealt a heavy blow. Now is the time when Confucianism is the weakest and inferior, and a "Theory of the Great Dao" will be as shocking as spring thunder and sweep away the decline.

Take advantage of the weakness, replace it, and carry out the great cause of ideological revolution!

Li Luo felt that from the perspective of later generations, "The Theory of the Great Dao" organically combined materialism and idealism, just like the Taoist yin and yang gossip, not like Western philosophy, which opposes the two.

Under the guidance of Li Luo and Cui Xiuning, the "Treatise on the Great Dao" summarized and improved Chinese culture, and was the culmination of Chinese philosophical thought.

What Li Luojunchen didn't know was that "The Great Dao Theory" would not only become the ruling ideology of the entire East in the future, but even influenced the whole world, allowing Chinese civilization to always maintain its absolute lead.

Zheng Sixiao has thus become a world-class great thinker.

The fifth edict began to involve actual political affairs, called the "Accumulation of Fat Order".

The ancient farming peoples of all countries in the world all attached great importance to manure and plant ash fertilizer. However, the problem is that there is no strict management, which not only causes fecal pollution, but also causes a large amount of fecal waste.

For example, at this time, the phenomenon of people and animals defecating everywhere in the countryside and even in the city can be seen everywhere, which is not only very unhygienic, but also wastes a lot of human and animal manure.

At the same time, the ancient manure method was not good, and it was not fermented, and the effect was also discounted. (I don't know if the above is true or not)

If it can be effectively managed, it can not only beautify the environment, but also increase the yield per mu. According to conservative estimates, it can also increase 10% of food.

Li Luo seems to remember that in later generations, China once promoted the accumulation of fertilizer, and probably he didn't know the content very well. But he believes someone must know how to do it.

The "Accumulation Order" is a matter of national planning, and it is not surprising in itself. To the surprise of hundreds of officials, there is also an additional content of the "Accumulation Order", which is to extensively repair public latrines.

In ancient times, there were public toilets. Even books as old as "Zhou Li" and "Mozi" also mention public toilets. It can be said that Huaxia was the first country to have public toilets.

The problem is that there are too few public toilets. This is also the reason why the countryside is full of defecation.

Why? Were the ancients stupid?

Definitely.

Because in ancient times, it was private ownership of toast. Whose land does the public toilet occupy? You must know that the public toilet is there, the filth is flushed, and there are many flies, which affects not only the area occupied by the thatched house.

For example, Lin'an City, such a large city with so many people, how many public toilets are there in total?

Less than ten.

It was all built when Zhao Guan's family was there.

Moreover, in ancient times, public toilets could only be used by one person at a time, unlike public toilets in later generations, which could be used by multiple people at the same time. So what do you say, once there is a pedestrian in an emergency?

Of course, I came to the corner when I was not prepared.

Not to mention men, women can only do this when they are in a hurry.

The "Accumulation Order" requires that there must be one public toilet for every 1,000 people in the city, and one public toilet every five miles on the side of the road.

In addition, there is a Seongseong Office in the city that manages sanitation, which specializes in public toilets and sanitation, as well as the disposal of human and animal waste and garbage in the city, and is also responsible for punishment.

The Qingcheng Office is also responsible for the manure trade in the city, and all the income goes to the Qingcheng Office.

In this way, the Tang Kingdom will have the cleanest city in the world and reduce the spread of disease.

The last order was the promulgation of the Prohibition of Female Infant Killing.

Originally, this should have been the article of the "Tang Brief Law" in the Haidong era. But the people of Jiangnan don't know much about "The Laws of the Tang Dynasty". Li Luo simply issued a separate edict to make the people pay more attention to it.

“… Fu Datang governs the country with Taoism. Some people prefer sons over daughters, and kill female infants, so that there are more men than women among the people. Widows hear Wu County, men are twice as large as women, big and difficult to marry, lonely and old, this is not a retribution against heaven? ”

"A man has five Lun, but does a man have no wife? The widow cannot bear their troubles. Moreover, the way of man, human life is a matter of heaven. Isn't a baby girl human? Isn't it flesh and blood? Tiger poison does not eat children, and those who give birth to daughters and kill them are not as good as beasts. ”

"Ancient murderers die. Infanticide is also murder, which is against the way of heaven, killing relatives, and violating human ethics. Therefore, the crime of homicide should be punished severely, regardless of whether the mastermind is an accomplice or the principal offender is an accomplice. Those who do not report the information shall be subject to hard labor for three years. Chin this! ”

As soon as this order came out, everyone was terrified.

What a harsh ban!

Unexpectedly, regardless of the mastermind accomplice or the accomplice to the main culprit, not only were all killed according to the crime of homicide, but also because of "killing relatives", the crime was increased by one degree, and he was severely executed!

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning have already done this in Haidong, and of course they will also do this in southeastern Sichuan.

In later generations, many people misunderstood, thinking that in ancient times, because of war, there should be more women than men, and that the ratio of men and women was seriously imbalanced, which was in modern times.

Quite the opposite, actually. In ancient times, it was more serious, and much more serious. Even in times of war, women die more.

You know, female infanticide is very common and occurs in almost every village. No one took it seriously before, after all, they were all patriarchal.

As early as the Warring States Period, it was recorded in "Han Feizi": "If you give birth to a man, you will congratulate each other, and if you give birth to a girl, you will kill her." ”

Especially since the Song Dynasty, many places are full of singles, because there is no woman to marry, and they become thieves, troubled places, and even gather people to rebel.

The situation in the Tang Dynasty was much better, with very few female infanticides, and even a time when women were favored over men. In Bai Juyi's poem, "not reborn male and female" is not the poet's exaggeration. This is a reflection of the high status of women in the Tang Dynasty.

But in the Song Dynasty, the status of women dropped greatly, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the drowning of female infants became a common practice among the people.

Otherwise, why do you think the Song Dynasty rebelled so many times? Is it all because there is no food to eat?

No.

A lot of it is because there are no women. Single, hopeless in this life, what are you afraid of? The rebellion of the Zhao official family.

Then the imperial court doesn't prohibit it?

Of course not.

But the problem is, banning is useless.

In Suzhou at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than twice as many men as women. And not only Suzhou, but also everywhere in the country there is a huge disparity in the ratio of men and women, and even Emperor Hongwu is very distressed. This is also the reason why although the early Ming Dynasty was prosperous, the population was difficult to grow for a hundred years.

Kang Mazi was also very distressed, not only issued several orders to strictly prohibit it, and even implemented the joint sitting system, but he still couldn't help it. Especially in Wenzhou, which is the most serious, there is an extreme situation of "eight out of ten men, eight without a family".

At that time, there were ten men in Wenzhou, and eight were singles!

forced the Manchu Emperor to also lament, "As for this, how difficult it is!" ”

Why is it so hard to ban? In addition to the patriarchal mentality, there are three objective reasons.

One is that the punishment is too light and inconsequential at all. Why is the penalty light? Because the father is the son, the parents kill their children, and the responsibility is very light. At this point, even the chief Kang Mazi didn't dare to touch it!

The second is that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, the people protect each other, and there is no organ to manage childbirth, so the government does not know.

The third is the most important, the people are too miserable to raise too many children, so they have to selectively kill female babies.

Let's just say that now under the rule of the Tang State, the ratio of men to women has reached a terrifying five to three. This means that four out of 10 men will beat the bachelors.

And the people are still drowning female infants!

Even if Li Luo dominates the world, there is a prosperous era of fart. So many men don't have wives, are you prosperous? I want to eat fart.

If Li Luo didn't stop this crooked wind, he would still be a saint Tang Wang?

Cui Xiuning is also not qualified to be called the Virgin Mary (really the Virgin) by the people of Jiangnan.

And Li Luo believed that he could stop it. One is that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty can go to the countryside, and the other is that the punishment is unprecedented, he has the "Great Dao Theory", and the father and son must often obey the "Great Dao Theory".

Parents kill their children, no! It will also be dealt with as the crime of homicide, and it will also be punished severely for killing relatives.

This, of course, is a lot of resistance. Not only the Confucian scholars will oppose it, but the common people will also oppose it. But Li Luo has a good way, and he is not afraid of opposition.

The third is that Li Luo can make the people's lives gradually better and greatly reduce their burden.

However, there is also a combination of punches to accompany this ban.

From this day onwards, anyone who gives birth to a baby girl will receive a subsidy of one silver dollar per year for raising a child. Until the age of five!

It is equivalent to saying that the court will help you raise your daughter!

Li Luo wanted to quickly reverse the serious imbalance between men and women by severely punishing and rewarding them.

Will that lead to a fiscal collapse?

Nor will it.

According to the current population size, there are more than 2 million baby girls born in China every year, and the total number of babies in five years is 10 million.

Even if the world is unified, it will cost an extra 10 million silver dollars every year. And now it can't spend so much every year, and it only increased to 10 million yuan in the fifth year.

Then, according to the population of 80 million, once production is resumed, the annual treasury revenue of Datang will be at least 80 million or more.

It's just 10 million to raise a baby girl, and it's just a matter of gritting your teeth.

When customs change, the people have a prosperous life, and the concept of preference for sons over daughters is weakened, the rewards can be stopped.

Li Luo would rather bleed profusely every year than let so many men have no women to marry!

This is the Holy King!

I, Li Luo, can't let tens of millions of men have no wives!

Sure enough, after listening to this series of orders, the ministers couldn't help but bow down any longer, and said excitedly: "The king is really the holy king of the ages, Yao Shun can't pass!" ”

ps: Today's team building is mandatory and you have to participate, so it can only be so much. I am very touched by the support of everyone. Please subscribe and good night! Well, this chapter might be a bit controversial. But at that time, the ratio of men to women was too scary, and it was impossible to do it without making a lot of effort.
