Chapter 285: What is the New Deal?
"Lord, this person is too rude, or the general will ......" The judge left the general's mansion angrily, Dian Wei took Zhao Yun to Chen Mo's side, his face was a little unsightly, you said that you want to be reasonable, the special mother was said by the lord without words, and dared to curse people, Dian Wei felt that even if he killed the trial, he should be.
"It's easy to kill him, but I'm afraid I won't hear anything different in the future." Chen Mo shook his head and said with a smile, since Chen Mo established his power, although he has killed many people, there is no example of a sinner, you Heng was like this in the past, and it is the same today.
"Sometimes, when there's only one voice around you, it's time to be wary." Chen Mo looked at Zhao Yun and smiled, "Zilong, is there something wrong?" ”
Zhao Yun actually came to resign, he was arranged to live in the inner city these days, to be honest, Zhao Yun was very disgusted with Chen Mo's perception at first, because he belonged to a local wealthy family, and most of the people he made friends with were in this capacity, in such a circle, whether Chen Mo was from Dong Zhuo in the early years, or later Chen Mo was not accepted by the Jizhou scholars.
But during this time, Zhao Yun lived in Yecheng and found that the people were under Chen Mo's governance, and there was no sign of the people's misery, but this time Chen Mo slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Anping, which made Zhao Yun a little unable to understand whether Chen Mo was the master of Ming or the tyrannical lord, so he came to resign from this trip and wanted to see it for himself.
It wasn't until I just asked to see him outside the door that I listened to the conversation between Chen Mo and the trial with Dian Wei.
"I don't know what the general's new policy is?" Zhao Yun pondered his words for a while, what Chen Mo and the trial said was a bit general before, Zhao Yun didn't understand Chen Mo's new policy too much, after all, he learned martial arts, the art of war, and didn't understand politics too much.
And Chen Mo's words of not scolding people with words also gave Zhao Yun some sense of identity, because if you don't agree with each other, you have to scold people with words, which is a habitual fault of those in power, based on this point alone, Chen Mo's heart and courage are not comparable to ordinary people, so Zhao Yun also has a lot of curiosity about Chen Mo's new policy.
Why are so many scholars opposing Chen Mo's new policy, but Chen Mo has been insisting?
"It's just that there is nothing to do today, Zilong will go with me." Chen Mo glanced at Zhao Yun and invited with a smile.
Zhao Yun bowed, and together with Dian Wei, accompanied Chen Mo and walked out.
The city of Yecheng has been expanded several times, the palace, the inner city, and the outer city are clearly layered, the inner city is very quiet, and the noise is almost not heard, and most of the people walking on the street are family servants, Chen Mo didn't take a car, just stayed and the two of them and the guards walked on the street.
Out of the inner city, but it is another scene, there is a lot of noise around, there are no stalls selling goods in the streets and alleys, the Han can see the strict barriers from the planning of the building and the city, there is no certain door, it is not qualified to set up a door on the main street, the city is divided into a square market, the noisy sound is mostly from it, the pedestrians on the street come and go, see the people walking on the main road, and only slightly avoid, except for a few people, most of the people for the people walking on the main street, Chen Mo is good, other scholars are also, It's not too daunting.
In this regard, it is very different from Luoyang back then, although Luoyang is prosperous, but if you look deeply, the strict hierarchy will have a depressing feeling of breathlessness.
It was a barrier that ordinary people could hardly break even in their entire lives, and now Yecheng can clearly perceive that this barrier has loosened a lot.
The group walked and stopped, without much purpose, Chen Mo suddenly looked at Zhao Yun: "What did Zilong see?" ”
Zhao Yun was stunned, looked at Chen Mo suspiciously, and thought back to what he had seen along the way: "Yecheng is quite prosperous under the governance of the general. ”
The outer city has not suffered much damage, and the period after Chen Mo entered Yecheng has been focusing on the people's livelihood, and in such a short period of time, the people's livelihood in Yecheng can be restored, which shows Chen Mo's ability, but it seems that it is nothing more.
"Rules, order." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled: "You asked me what the New Deal was for, and that's it." ”
Zhao Yun shook his head: "Yun doesn't understand. ”
"The three emperors ruled the world, the five emperors Dinglun, gradually had the idea of the family and the country, and then after thousands of years of development, China gradually had today's appearance, the first emperor swept Liuhe, unified the world, the idea of the family and the country was formally formed, and it is the world that you and I see today; Abolish the division of feuds and establish prefectures and counties, no matter how the history books evaluate the first emperor, but only this point, the first emperor set the foundation of the world, and the Han Dynasty inherited the rule of Qin and further improved. ”
Chen Mo looked around and said with a smile: "This rule is the rule and order I am talking about. ”
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yun looked at Chen Mo, if he said this, there was no problem, why did Chen Mo launch a new policy?
"Yao Shun is known as the Emperor of the Ages, so in Zilong's opinion, if the law of the Yao Shun period is used today, what will happen?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically.
Zhao Yun shook his head, he didn't know what the law was during the Yao Shun period, how to answer this question, Chen Mo's words, obviously talking about Zhao Yun's knowledge blind spot.
"In fact, it is somewhat similar to the Saiwaihu people today, it is also mainly based on the tribe, and the tribal alliance elects the lord of the alliance, Yao Shun is based on this method, but the difference is that there was a more comprehensive ritual law at that time, but some customs Zilong may not know, the murderous burial, and the sacrifice of living people have all appeared since then, and have been used until the Zhou, until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, before gradually disappearing." Chen Mo said with a smile: "During this period, as the wars became more and more frequent, slaves began to increase, starting from the Xia Dynasty, slaves gradually formed a culture, and began to be no longer limited to prisoners of war or criminals, the master had absolute authority over slaves, and could kill them at will. ”
Although the Han Dynasty now has absolute authority over domestic servants or something, it is still uncommon to kill at will, at least it is not allowed above the Han law, but in the later period, this law gradually loses its binding force, but even so, it will not kill people for no reason.
This history is very long, and Chen Mo naturally can't say it all in such a short time, but even these things make Zhao Yun have a concept in his heart.
Such a system would certainly not work today, but at that time, in people's concepts, it was very normal.
"Any law has its lifespan, with the change of dynasties, what was right thousands of years ago is wrong today, and the only constant in this world is change." Chen Mo looked at Zhao Yun: "Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the status of scholars has become more and more stable, and it was naturally good at the beginning, and now, there are many scholars, but there is a little bit of Zilong I don't know if I can detect it?" ”
Zhao Yun shook his head respectfully, he didn't know what Chen Mo was going to say, but obviously Chen Mo sensed the ills of the times.
"Today's Han Dynasty, if the Son of Heaven and the people are regarded as one, then the family and the wealthy family can be placed in another whole, and they are both dependent on each other and opposed to each other." Chen Mo smiled.
"What the general said is wrong, Yun is also from a wealthy family, but he has never bullied the good!" Zhao Yun frowned, Chen Mo's words made him very uncomfortable.
"Of course, everything is good and bad, Zilong said, I don't deny it, this general is also from a scholar family, and so is a family teacher, this world needs scholars to govern, and since you want to govern, you must have people, which is interdependence." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Just like Yin and Yang Taiji, the whole is so big, so if Yang is prosperous, Yin is weak, and Yin is weak, not a family with one surname, but the entire Shi clan." ”
"And the root of this is in the land, land annexation, so that the people do not know that there is a court, and the power of the scholars has been expanded, enough to compete with the imperial power, and later even overpowered the imperial power, and the people are in it, annexed by the power of the scholars, if you meet a good person like Zilong, you can live, but if you meet the evil lord, you can't eat enough, you can only rebel or fall into the grass, so that there will be turmoil in the world."
Chen Mo didn't say it explicitly, but Zhao Yun remembered the catastrophe that almost swept the world more than 20 years ago, and looked at Chen Mo: "So, the Taiping Sect Rebellion was born from this?" ”
"Not all, there are many causes of the Taiping Sect's rebellion, some of which are now untraceable, and the Taiping Sect's practice is to coerce the people, and most of them are involuntarily, but even if there is no Zhang Jiao back then, such things will also occur." Chen Mo shook his head, the Taiping Rebellion, that was what he personally experienced, what role did Shiquan do in this, Chen Mo was not qualified to check at the time, and it is not easy to comment on it now, but the Taiping Sect involves not only Shiquan, but also religion, and some ambitious people jointly contributed to it, and later Chen Mo also thought about it, if the people in power at that time could be curbed in time, it would not have developed to such a large scale, so the matter of the Taiping Sect was a coincidence, and several parties competed to finally get together at that point in time. It's so powerful.
"Zilong asked me what the new deal is, that is, to find a way to balance the yin and yang of the world, to shrink the power of the people back, so that the people can at least have a way to survive and even break the shackles of their origins, in the early Han Dynasty, there were still people who could step into the official career with their own ability, but before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Zilong had seen such things?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
Zhao Yun shook his head and frowned at Chen Mo: "But this road is not easy to follow. ”
"After all, people need to go, otherwise even if the world returns to peace, it is just a repetition of entering again and again, in the world, there is no benefit, since I am in this position today, and I have such thoughts, why not take a trip? is defeated, at least let future generations understand that there is such a road, and I hope that future generations can produce a great sage and finish the road I have not finished. Chen Mo smiled.
"If the general doesn't give up, Yun is willing to explore the way for the general!" Zhao Yun suddenly looked solemn and saluted Chen Mo.
Chen Mo bowed to Zhao Yun, stretched out his hand to help Zhao Yun, and said with a smile: "It is also my luck to have Zilong's help." ”
"See the lord!"
"It's long overdue!" Dian Wei slapped Zhao Yun and grinned, Sensen's white teeth shimmered brightly in the sun.
