After listening to Jiang Tian's words, the prince looked at each other and didn't know what expression to use to face this situation, he had often heard Emperor Zhang say this before, but everyone thought it was just talking.

"So, what your majesty says is still what you think of it, let alone what the officials say to the people? If you want the people of the world to trust you, you can't say it emptyly, but do it steadfastly! ”

From the people to the people, whenever this sentence is mentioned, Zhang Tao has a sense of mission, and he really does it, which is obvious to all, but everyone thinks that this is just a special phenomenon that only the founding monarch had.

"You will inherit the family business and become the administrator of this country in the future, but you have to figure out now that the emperor of the Chinese Dynasty is the official family of this country, and the civil and military officials are the family members and maids, and the Confucian scholars of science back then have forgotten the teachings of the sages they have read, so they will eventually be eliminated by the times, and if you want the country to continue to be honored, you must not forget your roots."

Thinking of Jiang Tian's polite treatment to a porter just now, and even the way he got up to send him off, the gentlemen finally understood that he was not buying people's hearts, but really practicing reform. The grass people can be a head taller than themselves!

Seeing that these people were a little stimulated, Jiang Tianwan smiled: "Look at this time, my cousin's fish should be ready, you have a good mouth today, let's go, let's go eat fish." ”

After dinner, on the way out of Jiang's mansion, several people were silent, and suddenly Liu Baokai slapped his thigh like a sudden realization: "No wonder Mr. is not moved in the face of the beautiful maids in the garden, this is ambitious!" ”

Wu Yuan, who thought he had something high, couldn't help but scoff at his discovery: "What else did you discover, since you know it, think about what to do in the future." ”

"Later?" The interface is Song Yi: "It will be easy to do in the future, and I will bury my head in the laboratory in the future, and strive to make a modest contribution to expanding the territory and giving birth to the people." ”

Zhang Huan shook his head: "Brother Song, don't be joking, Senior Brother is obsessed with science, which is known to the world, but I am afraid that although the world is big, there is no clean laboratory." He has always opposed his father's reforms being too radical, and some of his ideas are not far behind those of his father. Do you think that this society of great harmony in the world can really be realized? ”

Several people could only exchange glances with each other again, and finally the bold Liu Baokai said first: "Your Highness, you know that Weichen is only a shallow learner, but he has also learned the Analects and the Mean." If you let me say, who looked down on Confucius in the pre-Qin period? ”

This is very clear, Confucius traveled around the world and was not ambitious, not because of his academic problems, but because he was not suitable for the society of the time, once he died, the Confucian scholars of the world tampered with some of his theories in order to cater to the times, and they became one of the foundations of Chinese civilization.

Taking history as a mirror, these students all know that Jiang Tian's theories and knowledge are no different from Confucianism back then, which seems absurd and boring, but in fact they are just out of touch with society. Fortunately, neither Zhang Tao nor Jiang Tian avoided this issue, except for the core ideas from a high vantage point, they were all full of compromises to this era.

Compromise is only compromise after all, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the hierarchical monarchical agrarian society and the industrial society of the world, which is not a compromise between the two sides to achieve a balance, only a bloody and violent revolution can solve this problem, either you die or I die.

But Jiang Tian is a little more practical than Zhang Tao, he knows that any kind of ism, what reflects its existence value is whether it can obtain a broad mass base, and the mass foundation must be consolidated by real money, for the common people, whether you are a Confucian or a Legalist, it is serious to be able to make people fed and clothed.

History has also proved that capitalism@capitalism@ism@righteousness is not suitable for China's national conditions, nor is it suitable for the national conditions of the late Ming Dynasty, so it is unrealistic to expect a Paris Commune-style revolution after the rise of the capitalist class, let alone expect China to become a sunset with an Elizabethan emperor. Zhang Tao and Jiang Tian, who have also studied the materialist view of history, both know that some historical inertia is inevitable.

For example, the widespread order of respect and inferiority in this world, not only China has this problem, but the whole world is like this, and a few outliers are still trying to survive in the cracks. After several changes, the theory of Confucianism is no longer suitable for the development of productive forces, but it is still the most complete theoretical system of this era.

And except for the Song family, who are dedicated to the study of science and do not care about politics, everyone is thinking about how to strive for the greatest interests in this mutual compromise contest, and these people in front of them are considered to be active compromisers, and the reason why they take the initiative is not completely conquered by the charm of science, but mainly due to the fear of the emperor on the dragon chair.

Having said that, except for a very few people in this world, who can understand how much energy Jiang Tian's technological leap will generate? I am afraid that even these scientific pioneers at the end of the Ming Dynasty could not see such a long-term view. It wasn't until Jiang Tian opened a small stove for these personal disciples, whether it was Zhang Huan or Liu Baokai, whether they liked science or not, that they understood that the wheel of reform was unstoppable.

The reason why Lao Tzu's idea of "the voice of chickens and dogs hear each other, and the old and die do not get along, and the 'small country and widows'" is not popular, is because in the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which country wants to engage in this kind of inaction, it will definitely be swallowed by the country next to it. The same school of science also admits the same mistake of cultivating and reading heirlooms, and at the present stage of productivity, in the absence of foreign enemies, it is indeed the most stable social structure.

But the problem is that you are not the only central dynasty in this world, and the progress of the productive forces is not subject to your will to science, even if one day the world is truly harmonious, and there is only one country left on the earth, but who can guarantee that there will be no invasion by foreign visitors? Therefore, there is a phrase that best describes human civilization, and that is: forward! Advance by any means!

Whether it was Zhang Huan or others, although they didn't know that there was such a threat as aliens, they knew very well that the era of the Central Dynasty's dominance was over, and they originally thought that the stable period of great unification was coming, but who knew that it was the new Warring States Struggle that had begun. It's just that they understand that it's useless, but the rest of the old bureaucrats and literati don't want to believe the rhetoric of the reformers, or they believe but don't want to give up their former interests.

Wu Yuan knew that this topic would only get more and more talkative, so he took the initiative to change the topic: "Speaking of which, in the words of Your Majesty and Mr., these things are all problems after the great development of productive forces in the future, now let's take care of the White Lotus Sect in front of us first, no matter what, we can't let them do anything bad." ”

Liu Baokai nodded: "Yes, although my Liu family does not care about politics, they dare to sabotage the reform plan, my family has the responsibility to do so, and the younger brother will arrange for the family to go to investigate." ”

Wu Yuan shook his head when he heard this: "As Mr. said, don't startle the snake first, otherwise the enemy will be bright and I will be in the dark, even if we destroy one of their halls, there are countless in the dark, and see what Mr. arranges......"

What arrangement can Jiang Tian have? In fact, it's very simple, he doesn't care what the White Lotus Sect is doing, as long as there is no evidence of their crimes, he doesn't plan to break this layer of window paper. Because the world has just been settled, the people are now thinking about how to live and work in peace and contentment, and they will not easily rebel with them, unless they can't survive. So don't worry about any conspiracy on the other side, you only need a conspiracy to crack it. There are only four words in this scheme: make decisions for the people!

With Jiang Tian's assurance, the workers who had suffered work-related injuries and had not yet received compensation and bereavement were carried by several fellow villagers to the original yamen. Although most of the various organs in Tianjin are still crowded in the original yamen, the plaque in front of the door has been changed to a new vertical writing, and several pieces are hung in front of the door. A few people looked at the originally cold and solemn gate, but now it was bustling with people coming in and out, but the drums at the door were gone, and they didn't know how to sue.

While they were stunned, a young man who looked like a small servant happened to come out of the door, and these people felt that this might be a relatively low status among these people who entered and exited the yamen, so they boldly walked over: "This little brother has worked hard......

After the other party was stopped, he looked at a few people, all in dirty and smelly rags, his face and hands had obviously been washed before he came, but there was still a lot of sludge between his fingernails, although he disliked them a little, but he didn't dare to show a look of disgust in front of the yamen: "What do you want me to do?" ”

"We want to go to court, but we don't know who to turn to?"

The people who were stopped were shocked when they heard this request, and according to the old custom, no one would come to the yamen unless there was a great grievance. As the saying goes: the entrance of the yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money. Besides, how this new yamen should fight a lawsuit, he doesn't know.

While talking, their group of people attracted the attention of many people, and some people asked why they wanted to go to court, and these people also spoke patiently. After hearing this, everyone shook their heads, even if they were soldiers on the battlefield, the disability pension was often deducted by Shangguan, not to mention their coolies.

The more and more people gathered at the door, it naturally attracted the attention of the doorman, if it was in the past, these former officials would have been wielding scabbards or whips to drive people away, but they don't have the courage now, they can only step forward to ask the situation and then decide, but at this time, a half-sized voice sounded: "Lawsuit?" I know who to turn to. ”

Everyone looked up and saw Zhao Zhi standing aside with a food box, and it was him who spoke. Whether it is a servant or a lively person, he knows him, the performance form of cross talk has become famous in the wharf area, whether it is a peddler pawn or a dignitary, many people have stopped to listen, especially Zhao Zhi's performance is worthy of both elegance and vulgarity, and it is precisely because his master is Jiang Tian that no one dares to provoke cross talk, resulting in many folk artists are also imitating his performance.

When the doorman saw that he was talking, he immediately changed his smile and greeted him: "Mr. Xiao has brought snacks to adults?" Come inside please! ”

The folk don't know what to call a cross talk actor, they usually call him a certain stage name, but Zhao Zhi's identity is special, and he has studied storytelling, so the folk generally exalt him as Mr. Xiao to distinguish Jiang Tian, an old gentleman.

Zhao Zhi smiled in return, and then said to a few workers: "Since you bumped into it, then go in with me, so that you don't have to ask everywhere." ”

Several people hurriedly carried the victim into the gate with a thousand thanks, the doorman did not dare to stop or ask, and other people who watched the excitement couldn't help but discuss, saying that these people had a good life, and they actually bumped into Zhao Zhilai to deliver food, and there was a good show to watch now.

Although Zhao Zhi led into the door, the procedures that should be taken still had to be followed, so he led them directly into the office of the supervision department and left, but the person on duty did not dare to slack off, after all, it was the person in front of the boss, even if it was just a cross talk, he had to give a few thin faces, so he quickly asked about the case and recorded it, but at this time he was embarrassed again.

To say that the case is very simple, that is, the employer did not fulfill the obligation of bereavement benefits, and also injured the person who asked for wages, it is logical that the one who should lose money loses money, and the one who should play the board is the one who should be beaten. But the party A of this project is not a small subcontracted foreman, but a municipal bureau that has just been established not long after the official family, and this has properly become a civil prosecutor!

This clerk who used to be a scribe was a little embarrassed, and felt that it was not easy to deal with this problem, on the one hand, it was his colleague, and on the other hand, he was a bitter master who Zhao Zhi led over and didn't know what the number of roads, so he decided to ask the details of these people before making plans.

After a few words of greeting, he had a score in his heart, it turned out that these people didn't have any backstage, but they just happened to meet the nosy Zhao Zhi, so things were easy to do: "With all due respect, you can't win this lawsuit!" ”

Seeing that the scribe who was still smiling just now, he immediately changed his face to a serious face, and these workers couldn't help but beat a drum in their hearts, only to hear the other party continue: "Let's not say that you want to sue the official, even when the accident happened, the foreman also paid for your medicine, if you want to say that it can only count your fate bad, people don't owe you!" ”

These people looked at each other, and one of the older ones was bold and replied in a low voice: "Master, but the text says that you will be given a bereavement pension if you are disabled." ”

"Bastard!" The scribe suddenly raised his voice: "You were injured because you were careless, and you were also treated, this pension is medicine money, how can you blackmail the government!" ”

Several people couldn't help but retreat when he drank like this, and just when they didn't know how to justify, they heard a voice outside the door that was not angry and arrogant: "Hehe, what a big official!" ”

Then I saw Jiang Tian walking in with the prince and his party, and there was no need to ask if it was Jiang Tian who spoke. The clerk was obviously frightened, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly stood up and saluted, but he didn't remember that the prince was also there until he was halfway down, and he bent down and was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and knelt on the ground: "Humble ...... Humble ...... I've seen too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

These migrant workers were not slow to react, they were used to kneeling when they saw officials, and they knelt down without hesitation. Jiang Tian ignored the clerks who were kneeling on the side, but walked in front of the workers, helped them up one by one, and then solemnly saluted them: "The official is not strict, and the rewards and punishments are unknown, so everyone has been wronged......

These people were flattered and waved their hands in a panic and said: "Don't dare", but in addition to the word "don't dare", they don't know what to say.

This scene was naturally seen by people with a heart, and Zhang Huan and they also knew what Jiang Tian's arrangement was, first asked Zhao Zhi to wait for these people to come to the door, make a bureau that happened to be unjust, and then observe the attitude of the staff, and finally choose whether to directly intervene according to the development of the situation. It was clear that things were going in the worst direction at the beginning, and there was no possibility of a turn.

But unlike Zhang Huan and what they thought, even if Jiang Tian came forward directly, he did not stage the drama of the Qingtian Lord in front of the court, but took the case and handled it impartially, which means that this matter has to go back to the court.

As soon as this result came out, it instantly exploded the public opinion circle, and the streets and alleys were all talking about this matter, and no one understood what Jiang Tian wanted to do, obviously he had already apologized in person, and he should just pay the money, why should he go to court? It didn't take long for the notice from the yamen to come out, saying that in three days, the original defendant and the defendant would be in the courthouse and open to observe!

"Sir, you've been working hard to reform!" Tian Xuhai, who realized it later, found that his classmates had been stranded in Tianjin, and he quickly licked his face and ran over, but he ran into this incident.

Liu Baokai looked down on this slick guy more and more at this time, but it was not easy to shake his face openly: "Senior Sister Feng is the only one in the capital to take care of the house, how can Brother Huaigu be willing to come here?" ”

Tian Xuhai knew that he was referring to Sang scolding Huai, and he was satirizing himself by pursuing the old things of Xinyue, but he thought that those who became great things should have three tolerances and elegance, and they couldn't deal with this rough goods: "Yijian laughed, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, Mr. is here to make drastic reforms, and of course you have to practice it as a student......"

Tian Xuhai caught a glimpse of the crown prince Zhang Huan holding the latest judicial interpretation while he was fascinated, and he didn't pay attention to himself at all, and the words behind him could only be held back, Wu Yuan looked at him funny, but he was not like Liu Baokai who made people see likes and dislikes at a glance, so he personally poured a cup of tea and brought it to Tian Xuhai: "Brother Tian is right, Mr. is indeed far-reaching, but how do you think this case should be concluded?" ”

Hearing his question, even the prince who was buried in the case raised his head, Tian Xuhai knew that this was a good opportunity to perform, and hurriedly glanced at Wu Yuan gratefully: "In my humble opinion, since the law here stipulates the standard of casualty compensation, even if it is the tolerance of the yamen, it must be handled accordingly, and you can't favor one over the other and break your word, otherwise how can you win the trust of the people!" ”

Seeing Zhang Huan's undetectable little bit of fun, Wu Yuan made up his mind to continue to play: "If you don't give money, it's a loss, people go to the door to find and hurt people, whether it is the previous dynasty or this dynasty, whether it is here or elsewhere, the people in charge should be strictly investigated, even if it is an official, it cannot be tolerated." Not only that, but also pay more to show fairness, so that the world can know the name of Mr. Honesty. ”

If he didn't say this before, at most he would have lost money, and it was also to suppress public opinion and clear his name by the way. But now, in order to show that he is upright, he definitely has to follow the prince's thoughts. But he immediately saw Zhang Huan, who was nodding, frowning, and then sighed regretfully and began to shake his head!
