Chapter 312: Yizhuang
It is because of the reason that the Confucian wood is respected by the Gan, and the history is not very good for the Qin Shu who ruled the country by law. Qb(5).c0М\\The most important thing is that Qin Shi Huang dared to burn books and pit Confucianism, which is simply a taboo for the people of the world.
And it is precisely because of the Shang Saddle Reform that the Qin State has become strong and prosperous, and it can annex the strength of the Six Kingdoms, so he hates Wu and the house. Where does Shang An still have a good reputation, even Sima Qian recorded a sentence in the historical records, Shang Jun, his talent is mean.
But in modern times. Due to the needs of national policy, the evaluation of all the deeds and characters who dare to innovate and change is very high, although there are a few different voices, but most people admit that Shang Shoes is a hero who dares to touch the old forces and dare to reform, and Chu is naturally no exception.
However, Chu Zhen also does not approve of shaping Shang An into a tall and perfect hero, after all, due to the limitations of the times, some of the laws formulated by Shang Shoes are indeed a bit harsh, in the eyes of some people in modern times, it is a disaster to the people, it is the retreat of history, but Chu Zhen feels that people can not look at the ancients with their own eyes, and then blame others with their advanced consciousness.
It should be viewed in a fair manner and the essence should be taken. Discard the dross. Chu Zhen believes that although arguing whether that decree was good or bad for the people at that time has a certain reference significance, it is more important to realize the spirit of Shang An's "if you don't rule the world together, the country will be lawless". Knowing that the accumulation of shortcomings has been deep, he still holds on to the ancient law. The idea of being innocent and the law of the ancestors is immutable, isn't that ridiculous?
You must know that although Shang An was killed, the new law was not repealed, which shows that the new law adapts to the development trend of the times. Even the old nobles have benefited from the change, otherwise they would have clamored for a complete rejection of the law of the saddle and the restoration of the ancient rites.
Relatively speaking, the reason why the new policies implemented by the current Fan Zhongyan, and the later Wang Anshi, or Zhang Juzheng a few hundred years later, were first successful and then failed, and all the decrees were abolished, was because they harmed the interests of most powerful people at the same time. But it has not been remedied in other ways, and it is strange that the new law can be retained.
Although I don't know much about politics, or I don't have a high sensitivity to politics, it doesn't prevent Chu from absorbing the achievements of others, which is the advantage of being in an era of developed information.
After crossing over, although he knew that there were many shortcomings in the Northern Song Dynasty, and if he did not innovate, there would be problems sooner or later, but Chu Zhen also knew very well the consequences of changing the law, he didn't think that his ability was stronger than Fan Zhongyan and other famous ministers through the ages, and even they didn't know it, where did he have this kind of ability, so he had the intention of staying out of the matter and didn't plan to get involved.
Changing the law is a non-profitable but high-risk job, and don't be happy too soon if you succeed, because the world is impermanent, although you are proud in life, you may be swept away after death; The failure is even worse, and the finger of the thousand people is still light, and maybe one day he will become a national sinner in the mouth of some people.
And what Fan Zhongyan said just now, it seems that he is dissatisfied with Chu Zhen comparing himself with Shang Whip, but in fact, he is a metaphor for his similarity and sympathy with him. Of course, Chu Zhen could hear it, and he wanted to pretend to apologize with sincere fear, but seeing Fan Zhongyan's heart exhausted, his frosty hair dyed his sideburns, and his haggard appearance, Chu Zhen's heart, which was not hard and cold, softened. said softly: "The life and death of the country of Zhili will not be avoided because of misfortune and fortune." ”
As long as it is beneficial to the country, even if it is willing to sacrifice his life, he will never avoid it because of the possibility of disaster, this famous sentence is the motto of later generations of reformers, and it is regarded as the truth, Chu Zhen regretted it a little as soon as he opened his mouth, because these words can definitely resonate with Fan Zhongyan.
As expected. Fan Zhongyan's eyes lit up. I couldn't help but smile, feeling that this was on my heart. The jaw head approved, but it didn't lose its temper to the extent of high-five.
This somewhat made Chu Zhen feel a little relieved, and he was also a little lucky, fortunately, no one else heard this, otherwise it would have been spread, and others would still think that he was a staunch reformer. As for Fan Zhongyan, who heard this, Chu Zhen believed that he would not preach it everywhere.
Fan Zhongyan really won't preach it at will, but Chu Zhen ignored it, thinking that Fan Zhongyan didn't take it to heart, but he underestimated the meaning of this famous saying, and put aside the reform ideas in it, this sentence simply exhausted the virtues that scholars should have.
Besides, what is the relationship between Fan Zhongyan and He She, seeing that his old friend and disciple are so promising, he naturally wants to write a few words of praise, and He Shi will certainly not miss the opportunity to make a name for his disciples.
Ministers and celebrities all said yes. That was naturally good, so this famous saying spread all over Bianliang City in an instant. Some people sighed that there were successors, and they used this word to educate the younger disciples, which also made some people feel extremely uncomfortable, secretly vigilant, and also took this word as an opportunity. It set off a lot of turmoil in the court.
However, Chu Zhen is far away from the capital, and the turmoil is not involved in Si Diao (come, now he is only thinking about what should be done to alleviate Fan Zhongyan's knowledge
Fan Zhongyan takes the world as his responsibility, understands the disadvantages of the country and the danger of the court, and has the heart to display his ambitions, but unfortunately he collapsed in the middle of the way. If it is an ordinary person. may be aggrieved and revenge for what happened to him, but Fan Zhongyan has a broad mind that does not like things and does not feel sad, so it stands to reason that he should not be sad and depressed for the sake of demotion.
However, there is a premise for this, that is, Fan Zhongyan is still worried about the world, and naturally has a feeling of powerlessness to return to the sky, or people like him have a kind of behavior that cannot be worried. is always worried, and even if you are not sick, you will be sick.
But when Chu Zhen thought about it, if he persuaded Fan Zhongyan to look away from everything, don't always worry about the country and the people, I don't know if he will turn his face.
Fortunately, without waiting for Chu Zhen to think through, he heard Fan Zhongyan say: "Celebrities and thousands of ancient husbands don't dare to have extravagant hopes, they can only do something to favor future generations, and the court will rely on you in the future." ”
There was a sense of discouragement and seeing through the world in his tone, as if he was explaining what was going on, which made Chu Zhen's face change slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Fan Gong." How do you?"
Seemingly unwilling to talk more about this topic, Fan Zhongyan waved his hand slightly, picked up two or three pages from the table and handed them to Chu Qian, and said: "The old man is going to buy some dump property to help the people of the Fan clan, and he has drawn up a few rules, and you can see if there are any omissions." ”
Could it be Fan's Yizhuang? Took the page, before he read it, this thought flashed in Chu Zhi's mind, his eyes swept lightly, and he found that it was really the case, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, he has admired the name of Fan's Yizhuang for a long time, this is an unprecedented precedent, it is Fan Zhongyan's initiative, it is a model in the history of Chinese charity, and it is a miracle.
Since the day of creation, no matter how wars have passed. It is still a change of dynasties, but it has not fallen, until the end of the Qing Dynasty is still operating well, a total of more than 800 years, is the earliest family Yizhuang.
However, Fan Zhongyan naturally didn't know that his measures still had so much significance, and the reason why he purchased Yitian and ran Yizhuang was nothing more than to help the poor of his relatives.
When Fan Zhongyan lost his father at the age of two, his mother Xie had nothing to rely on because of poverty, so he remarried, and when he grew up, Fan Zhongyan understood his life experience, that is, he said goodbye to his mother and went to study at Tianfu Academy. Since then, he has embarked on a career in office.
So he welcomed his mother back to Fengfu and restored the surname Fan. returned to his roots, but he usually thought that if the Fan family had a relief system similar to Yitian, then after he lost his father, he would have basic living assistance, and his mother would not have to remarry. When I was a teenager, I would not suffer from poverty.
In the past, he was busy with state affairs and had no time to realize this ideal, but now he has this, conditions, and at the same time feels unwell, afraid that he will not have a chance in the future, Fan Zhongyan naturally will not miss it, and decided to buy Yitian in his hometown, that is, Wu County, Suzhou, and create Yizhuang. Yiji people.
However, aside from the reasons for consolidating the clan, in line with the life ideal of self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, the family is the country, the country is the family, and the governance of the country is based on the Qi family.
Look at the rules listed on the paper. Chu Zhen admired it very much, according to Fan Zhongyan's idea, the purchased Yitian was not directly cultivated by the clansmen, but rented to others, collected land rent, and then used the land rent to buy rice and silk to distribute to the clansmen, and there was a manager, subject to the supervision of the clansmen, and the amount of remuneration was determined by the quality of the work, if the manager had encroached on the Yitian, the clansmen had the right to report to the local officials and be punished."
All kinds of other deficiencies are one, anyway, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the prototype of a modern company, and I don't know how Fan Zhongyan thought of it, and his consciousness is really advanced.
"What do you think?" Fan Zhongyan asked, as if he meant to save the school.
If you say it directly, you don't mention it at all. Doesn't that seem to be too level, seeing that Hunting is happy, Chu Zhen doesn't want to hide it. bluntly said: "This is a good deed, not only can it benefit the people, but also can ensure the stability of the place, and it will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court, however
After hesitating, Chu Zhen said softly: "I'm afraid that I will indulge the inertia of some lazy people." ”
According to the measures listed by Fan Zhongyan on paper, the rations, clothes, and housing distributed by Fan's Yizhuang can be obtained free of charge, such as funeral and wedding funds, which can be obtained as long as you apply. Moreover, all the clansmen of the Fan family have the right to receive the necessary materials from Yizhuang. There is no distinction between rich and poor. Alike.
However, the people of the Fan clan who rely on relief to make a living, and the minimum livelihood is guaranteed, which is undoubtedly a good thing for them, but also a bad thing, because it is easy to develop their dependence mentality, and they may not want to make progress in the future. Always thinking about how to take advantage of Yizhuang. There is a certain negativity.
