Chapter Seventy-Four: Revealing Your Heart
"Okay, Brother Shengji, how is the situation in the village?" Zhang Hao saw that everyone was amazed for a while, and gradually quieted down, looked at Gongsun Du and asked.
"My lord, the autumn harvest here in the village has ended, it can be said that it is a bumper harvest, and the effect is much better than imagined."
"Especially the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn that adults focus on cultivating, the harvest of one acre of land can be worth the harvest of six or seven acres of normal other grains."
"All the soldiers who were injured in the last war are all healed, but some of them are seriously injured and disabled, and I am afraid that they will not be able to go to the battlefield again in the future."
"The families of those who died in the war were also contacted, and the pensions were distributed." When he said this, everyone's eyes were a little gloomy.
"Brother Shengji, select a special person, we must always pay attention to the families of these brothers who died in battle, and we must do our best to help them when they are in trouble, they died for Xinghuo Village, we can't let their families be bullied anymore."
"As for those who are injured and disabled, we will take care of them for the time being, and then make arrangements later." Zhang Hao thought for a while and said.
"Yes, sir."
A group of people were very excited when they listened to Zhang Hao's arrangement, although those people had nothing to do with them, but through Zhang Hao's attitude towards them, they could also know that it was definitely a wise decision for them to follow Zhang Hao.
"There are also Yide and Xianneng who brought back more than 5,000 people when they came back, and no arrangements have been made yet."
"Okay, let's arrange it together after we get to Liaodong, the things I want to talk about next are very important, you can think about it." Zhang Hao straightened his face and said, and everyone in the room sat up straight and waited for Zhang Hao to speak.
"First of all, thank you very much for your support and help to Hao during this time, if it weren't for you, there would be no current situation in Spark Village." Zhang Hao said, bowing to everyone.
"Your Excellency is serious."
"Adults don't have to be like that."
"Adults, never."
Seeing Zhang Hao like this, a group of people spoke out to stop him, Zhang Hao waved his hand, and everyone quieted down again.
"This is the second thing I said, in the future, in the areas under our jurisdiction, only the division of responsibilities will be different, there will no longer be a distinction between high and low status, and everyone will get along with each other equally."
"Zihan, the etiquette law cannot be abolished, won't you be respectful and inferior in the future, and the young and old will be disorderly?" Cai Yong was the first to stand up and said.
The others also nodded, all agreeing with Cai Yong's statement, but Cheng Yu didn't have much expression, but wanted to hear what Zhang Hao would say next.
Cheng Yu always felt that Zhang Hao was different from them, and there would always be some whimsical things in his mind, and these things made a lot of sense when he thought about them carefully.
"Teacher, ladies and gentlemen, what Hao said about the equality of everyone does not mean that the young and the old are disorderly, but it can be said that there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, and etiquette cannot be abolished, but there is no longer a distinction between nobles and slaves."
"Who said the Son of Heaven couldn't eat at the same table with the farmer? They just have different divisions of labor and do different things, but they are equal in personality. ”
"By equality I mean the elimination of all classes, without distinction between superior and inferior, no one is subordinate to others, just as they are not subordinate to me, and we can be friends......"
Zhang Hao talked a lot, and everyone fell into deep thought, although it was difficult for them to accept it at once, after all, the current thinking had been deeply ingrained in their hearts.
"This matter is not achieved overnight, we need to take our time, and there is one more thing to discuss with you." Everyone thought for a while, and Zhang Hao interrupted their thoughts and said.
"Now that the government is corrupt, the people are not happy, and the wealthy clans of all parties have a tendency to divide the situation, and there will definitely be a situation of competing for the deer in the future.
"Hao won't force you, you can think about it, if you don't want to go with Hao, you can leave on your own." Zhang Hao said and saluted everyone again.
"Zihan, you have good ability and such foresight, why don't you save Dahan in danger?" Cheng Yu was noncommittal and asked lightly.
"Now the court is rotten and can't be saved."
"What's the explanation?"
"First of all, the imperial court's efforts to strengthen centralization have gone to the opposite side, and the initial effect of centralization is still good, but with the slight weight of Shangshutai's position, although it is convenient for the emperor to control, it is also convenient for the control of relatives and eunuchs."
"And once you control Shangshutai, it is equivalent to taking the state power into your own hands. Therefore, this arrangement of the central functional departments' posts and micro-weights provides institutional convenience for foreign relatives and eunuchs to take turns to exercise power. ”
"The second is the development of the powerful landlord forces, which have been seized economically, and the competition for population, they will inevitably compete for political power."
"Relatives, generally meritorious generals, famous families, they are representatives of the upper class of powerful landlords. They are all tyrannical and domineering, and they are prominent for a while. ”
"And eunuchs are generally from humble backgrounds, illiterate, and despised by ordinary people. However, once in power, the eunuchs also began to annex land and rose to the landlord class. ”
"Although eunuchs are not all bad people, eunuch politics must be dark. This is because eunuchs are corrupted, have a perverted temperament, and have a hatred for normal people. ”
"Eunuchs have no descendants, so they are not subject to the slightest constraint of moral concepts, most of the eunuchs are from humble backgrounds, illiterate, have no cultural literacy, and only know how to send them to usher, flattery, and no political experience."
"There are also recent generations of emperors who succeeded to the throne when they were young, Emperor He was ten years old when he ascended the throne, Emperor An was thirteen years old when he ascended the throne, and Emperor Shun was eleven years old when he ascended the throne."
"After the death of Emperor Shun, Emperor Chong was only two years old when he ascended the throne, and he died when he was three years old, and the Emperor Zhen who succeeded him was only eight years old, and he died at the age of nine, and Emperor Huan, who succeeded him, was only fifteen years old. And when the son ascended the throne today, he was only twelve years old. ”
"The emperor is young, and it must be the queen mother who is in power, and his relatives are in power, and he is powerful. When the emperor grew up, he wanted to get rid of the control of his relatives, so he turned to the eunuchs for help and eliminated the power of his relatives through the power of eunuchs. ”
"The next little emperor ascended the throne, and his relatives gained power again, and in turn, they had to eliminate the eunuch forces. This cycle repeatedly, stirring up the entire Eastern Han Dynasty to the point of not seeing the light of day. ”
"Finally, there was the Yellow Turban Uprising, although because the central government did not send a large-scale army to suppress it, the blow to the Han regime was very limited."
"However, in order to safeguard the interests of their own localities, the big landlords and big bureaucrats in various localities established local armed forces, and these local armed forces soon developed into private armed forces, so that the original regular army was gradually privatized, and the central power was hollowed out."
"In this form, I always have the talent of the sky, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the sky, the general trend of the world, it will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, and it is inevitable that the heroes will be divided."
"Now, if you want to restore peace and prosperity to the world again, the only way to break first and then establish is to break it first."
Zhang Hao's words were impassioned, and like a giant hammer, it smashed heavily into everyone's hearts.
