After receiving a response from the students, Wu Zheng said: "The yellow camel did kill people, and according to the law, he had to kill to pay for his life." But I don't think that a man who fought bloody battles on the battlefield for his country, a man who returned to his hometown after nine deaths, only to find that his family was ruined, why should he not be allowed to avenge his father and slash the enemy? ”

"The yellow camel had no intention of killing, at least he had no intention of killing until he returned home and knew that his family was ruined. Is such a person worthy of being pardoned by the government? ”

"It's worth it!"

"Should be pardoned!"

Countless voices sounded, and the meaning was almost the same, and every young person with a sense of justice could understand the anger of the murder of his relatives and the desire to slash the enemy.

But it is clear that these voices are only from students.

Most of the faculty members on the side were almost silent.

This is the ideological gap, which cannot be crossed in one day.

Therefore, Wu Zheng chose to retrain a generation instead of transforming a generation.

Only by letting the new generation get up, and then through the change of social atmosphere, to imperceptibly change the old generation.

"Dare to ask the prince, how to distinguish between good and evil laws?"

"The good law must be simple and easy to understand, familiar and understandable by the people, and the so-called familiar with it. For example, if you owe money and pay off your life, even those who can't read know it. On the other hand, evil laws, which are long, esoteric and cumbersome, and cannot be familiar with and understand, can be called evil laws. This is not biased, the reason why the law is the law is a kind of restriction on all living beings in the world, so that the people do not even understand whether their actions are illegal or not, how can such a law be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and be supported and obeyed by the people? Such a law is nothing more than protecting the interests of a small number of people and putting the greatest number of people in a situation of passive lawlessness. ”

"Can you give me an example?"

"Yes." Wu Zheng obviously didn't know that he had cheated himself, "For example, the salt administration of the Ming Dynasty." Salt, which is inexhaustible and inexhaustible on our seashore, is a blessing given by God to all living beings in the world...... Let's put it this way, the manufacturing cost of salt is less than a penny, but the salt we buy in the market needs six or seven wen a catty, which is equivalent to three or four catties of rice, and in the northwest direction, it can even be sold for nine or ten wen a catty. Where does the difference go? ”

"Is it levied by the imperial court? No, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the salt tax was one in twenty, and after the monopoly, it was one percent, of course, after that, more and more were collected, but it never exceeded three percent. During the Chongzhen period, the salt tax of the imperial court was only more than 300,000 taels per year, according to conservative calculations, with the average per capita, a person used two catties of salt a year, a family of five people, ten catties of salt per year, calculated by 15 million households, the difference in interest was nearly 90,000 yuan, and the exchange rate of the next to 400 wen at the moment was about 2 million taels of silver. ”

"But the problem is that the imperial court only collected more than 300,000 taels, accounting for less than 20% of the interest difference, so where did the silver go? Excluding the loss, I am afraid that it will all go into the pockets of the collusion of officials and businessmen. It is a bad law that protects the interests of a small number of people and puts the majority of the people in a situation of passive lawlessness. ”

Another student asked loudly, "In that case, why doesn't the prince be anxious about the people's urgency and abolish such evil laws?" ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, and then laughed and said, "That's not good." The country is ruined, the family is ruined, and the foreign invasion is now, and now is the time when the General's Mansion is in urgent need of silver, even if it is an evil law, it must be slowed down first. Besides, if this king abolishes the salt law, our big butler Mo Lao, won't he eat this king? ”

"Huh——。" The audience booed.

"Don't shhh...... This is like a person who has an acute illness, and a pair of fierce medicines go down, and the disease is not cured, and the patient dies first. Wu Zhengzheng said: "The students are all people who know books and etiquette, and this private and obvious truth can be understood when you think about it, but this king can guarantee that in the future, evil laws like this will be improved or abolished." ”

"Thank you for your advice!"

Waiting for the questioning student to retreat, Wu Zheng returned to the previous topic, "Regarding the disposal of the yellow camel, according to the inspector Zhang Huangyan, Master Zhang made a statement to me, saying, no matter what the reason for the yellow camel's murder is, after all, it is two lives, and the murder will pay for the life, and it must be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law, otherwise as soon as the special case is opened, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles...... I agree with that. ”

There was silence in the audience.

"Since there is a law, it is natural that you must obey it. In ancient times, there was a saying that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, but of course, it has never been really enforced. However, we can't let the ancients focus on beauty, so the law still has to be followed. ”

The students who were amused by Wu Zheng's first half of the laughter were frozen in the second half of the sentence.

Wu Zheng said slowly: "The law is made by people, maybe when it is formulated, the law is suitable, but after hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years, this law may not be appropriate. At the beginning of the law, in order to protect the interests of the greatest number of people, if it comes to protecting the evil and harming the interests of the good, it is necessary to revise the ....... ”

"Since the law does not allow it, then this king will ...... Change! Wu Zheng said loudly, "The ancestral family law sounds very similar to that, and it can bluff people, but when it really comes to the wrong time, it is a piece of shit." This reminds me of my Wu family's ancestral family law, my father told me, Wu family law, children and grandchildren are not allowed to enter the official office, maybe the ancestor in the family law, have his bitterness and intentions, but after these two hundred years, no matter how correct the family law, I am afraid it is not appropriate, my uncle was the deputy general soldier in Jiading to resist the Qing army martyrdom, and I am luckier than my uncle, I have lived until now...... I'm sorry, my uncle and I have violated the family law, but if we don't violate the family law, how can we resist the Qing Dynasty? ”

“…… The yellow camel is guilty, but the sin does not lead to death! Zheng Rong seized his wife and forced his father to death, Pan betrayed her husband and abandoned his son to remarry, if the yellow camel was executed to pay for Zheng Rong and Pan's lives, where would justice be? What is the principle of heaven? ”

“…… Please be kind to every hero who fights bloodily for the country and the nation, and a nation that does not treat its own heroes will not have a future...... What I really want to say is that when the country is ruined and the family is ruined, the only way to do it is to weigh the pros and cons and break all the obstacles, for the sake of the interests of the majority of the people in our race. ”

When the enduring applause rang out like thunder.

When Daddy Wu scolded the "rebel" with red eyes, he regretted that he had wasted most of his life.

When hundreds of people and scholars raised people and teachers in the previous dynasty, they were shocked that the prince used such a public interpretation of the words "filial piety, loyalty, and law".

In this era, changes began to appear.

This is a seed, a seed that subverts the king like a god and the people like a mustard, and grows in the wind!
