Chapter 859: The Real Mille-Feuille

"Our law is still at the stage of canon law, and we don't even distinguish between law and morality, which is simply terrible." Anna said in frustration.

Ecclesiastical law, that is, religion formulates moral norms at the same time, but also legal norms, and the regime vigorously advocates the rule of law at the same time, and vigorously advocates the so-called moral probation, which is the greatest tool for the privileged class to exploit. They haven't even come to the discussion of the rule of law and legalists.

That's why Anna is so sad.

Anna perked up her spirits, adjusted her mood, and continued to ask, "How does the learned majesty understand this word as far as exploitation is concerned?" ”

"I never thought about it until today, when I hear the core principles of this law. This is really terrible, you Oriental people speak so implicitly, even if it is written on paper and made public, you need to interpret it to fully understand its actual meaning. ”

Exploit.

Zhao Huan watched the migratory birds in the sky cross the sky, looking at the clouds like waves, constantly turning under the wind, he said with a smile: "It's about to rain, let's go into Yanfu Palace." ”

Although Zhao Huan's Great Emperor system is a bit wasted, this weather forecast function can often allow him to install a magic stick.

The place where they were talking had just entered Yanfu Palace, and the heavy rain poured down, hitting the flower garden and the wild goose back pool, setting off ripples.

Zhao Huan stretched out his hand and called Zhao Chen, who was writing his homework, to his side, this is national politics, Zhao Chen needs to listen to the words and deeds of the Great Song Emperor.

Zhao Huan sat upright, carefully organized the language and said: "The earliest exploiters were some powerful classes, who either held sticks or leather whips, whipped the soles of the feet of the people under their feet, and forced these people to take out gold and silver to enhance the power of the magnates. ”

"But it soon became clear that by forcing the people with whips or sticks, the people would flee from the sphere of influence of the magnates, because they had long legs, could move, and could run. The flight of the people is in itself a weakening of their strength. ”

"For example, in the current battle between Song and Jin, the Great Song Dynasty has opened and closed three times to let refugees enter the customs, and the Jin people are very rough and primitive in the way of hitting the soles of their feet, which has led to the scarcity of the Jin people's farmers and the lack of grain and grass. And the lack of a large number of Jin people who signed the army was unable to fight head-on with the Great Song Dynasty. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Anna, but even Li Qingzhao's eyes had such a wise look in the eyes of the original officials.

Anna couldn't help asking, "Is this the motivation for His Majesty's decision to switch and release people in the first place?" Li everyone, how should that word be said, and what is high......"

"Visionary." Li Qingzhao made a supplement to Anna.

Zhao Huan laughed, shook his head and said, "This is what I only figured out when I made the law recently. At the beginning, there were various considerations, but there was no thinking about exploitation. ”

Zhao Huan saw the scorching heat in Li Qingzhao and Anna's eyes subside, and felt a little relieved, he hated to engage in a cult of personality, which was a blasphemy against his profession as emperor.

Ordinary people, they can't represent themselves, they must be represented by others.

Their representatives must be their masters at the same time, the authority that stands high above them, and the unrestricted and supreme power.

This power protected them from other classes and gave them rain and sunshine from the top.

Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace.

This act of deifying the individual, like the tribes of antiquity, people have developed the worship of natural objects and natural phenomena because of their ignorance; the totem worship of the clan; The worship of clan leaders and warriors.

This worship has created countless gods.

And Zhao Huan is a staunch atheist, and it is too late for him to oppose superstition, and of course he can't intensify this god-making movement.

"Under the exploitation of sticks and whips, tyranny and dictatorship were born, and they would use various means to restrain the fleeing of the people, at this time, it would cause riots, Huining Mansion was the capital of the Jin people, and a few days ago there was a life-and-death riot between the east and west cities, whether it was an escape or an incident, it was a weakening of the country's strength."

"Sticks and whips obviously could not satisfy the exploitation of the people by the powerful, and the wise people finally began to attack the basic bond between the government and the people, the word tax, and set up all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which were not so crude and direct compared with the sticks and whips before."

Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Daddy, will these smart people become powerful because of these?" Is that why Li Dazai wants to implement commercial reform and tax reform? ”

Zhao Huan touched Zhao Chen's head and said with a smile: "Yes." We must ensure that this basic link between our court and the common people, which is based on taxes, does not become a tool for the privileged classes such as the gentry, the magnates, and the eunuchs to accumulate money. Otherwise, the moment this contract expires, the Great Song State will be like in the past, unable to make ends meet and unable to do things. The world is in turmoil, endangering society. ”

"In the future, if you ask boldly, if there is anything you don't understand, you must ask in time, I can't explain, and there will be courtiers to explain it for you."

"The elite class that pursues exploitation will not give up any means to exploit anyone, so there are casinos and brothels to exploit those smart people. Sweetwater Lane and Fan Lou are all similar real magnates standing behind them, and the eunuchs, scholars, and businessmen pay for it. ”

"And in this "Song Criminal Rule", some bureaucrats in the Great Song Dynasty strongly opposed the demolition of the church and folk brothels, they thought that this was the enjoyment that they should have in their struggle to be powerful, which is a typical kneeling for a long time, kneeling is very natural, and even enjoys it."

"These bureaucrats think that they are exploiting the women in these brothels and workshops, but they are also being exploited by the people who stand behind these transactions. A typical example of being sold by someone else and helping to count the money. ”

Zhao Chen nodded his head, he still couldn't understand it, but he knew that there were people in the court who were reading and reading with rusty heads, holding a sentence, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and he is regarded as a treasure.

"There is also the Tianfang people's fire seeking holy tea, also known as the item of khat grass, which is extremely addictive. The magnates smelled this business opportunity and sold this kind of Huoxun holy tea to the East, and this time in the new Song Dynasty criminal system, there were strong regulations on this, and the traders who sold similar Huoxun holy tea and products were sentenced to prison or death. All aggravated special cases. Zhao Huan said solemnly to Zhao Chen: "You should be pedantic, you must not sell such addictive products, and you can also attribute them to the law of your ancestors." ”

Zhao Chen nodded vigorously and asked, "Daddy, is this also something that the courtiers fiercely oppose?" ”

Zhao Huan sneered and shook his head: "The eunuchs are just bad, they are not stupid, and no one objects to this article." ”
