Chapter 334: Filial Piety (Part II)
After knowing this filial piety system, Lu Bu was also a little emotional! Even if the Han Dynasty was only a probationary system, the Han Dynasty was indeed okay for the people. This is also why the Han Dynasty has been in power for more than 400 years, and even in today's chaotic situation, people still have a trace of nostalgia for the Han Dynasty. Isn't this the result of the benevolence of the sons of heaven in the Han Dynasty to the people?
It's just that the limitations of this era doomed the children of the common people in the Han Dynasty to have no future. This filial piety is only to inspire the people, and it cannot be compared with filial piety and honesty at all. The appearance of this filial piety field only gave those low-level people a little hope.
"My lord?"
Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu, whose eyes were a little confused, and called softly. This call pulled Lu Bu's thoughts back, Lu Bu looked at the three old Meng Zhong who was still looking at him, and also understood Meng Zhong's thoughts, and muttered for a moment, "Since this filial piety is the law of the country, it should be restored." But now that there is chaos all around, we need to change a little. ”
"Oh?"
Meng Zhong looked at Lu Bu, not knowing what else Lu Bu thought.
"From now on, under my rule, every year can recommend the three people of filial piety and Litian from all townships and counties, and persuade the people to farm and mulberry together with the three elders, and set an example for them. Those who are recommended as filial piety and power fields, all have the opportunity to inspect the officials, and if they are outstanding, they can be officials and govern the place. Different from the three elders, those who are recommended from the township for filial piety and power fields at the age of each year cannot be recommended. ”
Lu Bu's voice was very strong and resolute.
After knowing about filial piety, Lu Bu naturally wanted to vigorously promote it. It is difficult for the children of this commoner to get ahead, and most of the county officials are the children of the family, and this filial piety is undoubtedly an opportunity for the ordinary people to get ahead. It's just that unlike the original filial piety and Litian system, Lu Bu changed it slightly.
Filial piety Litian was originally the same as these three elders, and it was a lifelong official position. Only after the death of the previous filial piety Litian will there be the next succession. But Lu Bu's adjustment has a completely different meaning. Those who are recommended to be filial piety can have the opportunity to be officials and officials, and every year they have to recommend three people from each township, so that this filial piety can not be a lifelong position. Moreover, Lu Bu stipulates that the filial piety and power fields recommended every year cannot be recommended! This also leaves a greater opportunity for those children in the township.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the filial piety and power field system proposed by Lu Bu is implemented in various counties, there may be many more petty officials and petty officials. And it will definitely make the people's enthusiasm for farming, as well as the people's customs greatly improved.
Just imagine, if you are recommended to be a filial piety farmer this year, will you show more during the cultivation period as an opportunity to prove your talent? If you do well, you will probably become an official, and that will be amazing, and it will be a skyrocket! And this folk custom will also be more simple. Because if your personal qualities are good, you may also be recommended as the filial piety of the year, and then the opportunity to become an official.
"The old man has thanked the prince!"
Meng Zhong was also completely shocked, he never thought that Lu Bu still had such courage! In fact, Meng Zhong is not an ordinary person, and the Meng people to which he belongs are also a small family in the township. But families like the Mon don't know how many there are in the entire county. It is also very difficult for some children of the Meng clan to become officials, and they can only rely on those big families to have the opportunity to become officials. Meng Zhong, as the third elder in the township, but also watched that the capable children of his clan could not go up, but could only succumb to others, and could only sigh a lot! It happened that Lu Bu came to help the plow and plough himself, so he intended to tell this filial piety and strength of the field. But he never expected that Lu Bu not only listened to his advice, but also changed the filial piety and Litian system, so that these low-level children would have a chance to get ahead.
"Wenhe, the filial piety system I am talking about, you have to take it as an order to promulgate it."
Lu Bu glanced at Jia Xu.
If this filial piety system is implemented, it will undoubtedly cause some big families to damage some interests, but it is harmless. These petty officials and small officials, the real big families can't look down on them at all. Besides, if he Lu Bu has to consider the feelings of those big families in everything, what is the difference between him and Zhang Yang? Be a puppet of a big family? No way! In this state, he Lu Bu is the biggest.
Everything else, stand aside!
For the sake of local stability, Lu Bu can compromise a little with those big families and appoint a large number of their clan children as officials! But it's all required! First, talent! If you don't have talent, but you are in an important position, you are a scourge to the people! Second, abide by the law! Lu Bu ruled by law, and even did not obey the laws of the country, and it was impossible for Lu Bu to make them officials. After these two points are achieved, the other Lu Bu can still be tolerant, such as what kind of moral character. It doesn't matter if it's not filial piety, it's okay if you don't make any earth-shattering touching stories of ghosts and gods! It's okay if people's personalities are a little stinky and not loved! Of course, being able to give those poor children a chance to improve, Lu Bu is also more willing to see it.
"No!"
Jia Xu responded, and secretly praised Lu Bu's hand.
The afternoon ploughing continued.
Maybe because of this filial piety and Litian incident, the people's enthusiasm for work is much higher! As a state pastor, Lu Bu could have farmed all morning, but in the afternoon, Lu Bu still chose to continue farming in the fields! Lu Bu in the field looked quite clumsy, but looking at Lu Bu's clumsy appearance, no one laughed, but was in awe of Lu Bu.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Bu was soaking wet!
He was not wearing armor, but a dark robe, but at this time he was also soaked with sweat.
"Daddy!"
A crisp sound as a small bell suddenly sounded! Lu Bu raised his head suddenly, and saw Lu Lingqi, who was wearing a green coat on the shore of Natian, waving his arms at him.
Lu Bu threw down the iron plow, wiped his muddy hands on his robe, and watched the beautiful cyan figure rush into his arms like the wind! The petite body leaned against Lu Bu's chest, very warm.
As soon as Lu Lingqi hugged Lu Bu tightly, he didn't want to let go, and it took a few minutes for Lu Bu to gently push Lu Lingqi away and glanced at Lu Lingqi, "You go to the shore first, and I will go up after I finish plowing this acre of land." ”
Lu Bu personally went to the fields to farm, which can be regarded as a big event in Jinyang, and many people want to come and join in the fun. After all, in their eyes, the state pastor worked in the fields, and it was a rare scene for thousands of years.
Such a lively thing naturally can't be hidden from Lu Lingqi. It's just that in the past two days, Lu Lingqi has been letting Yan Wei and Lu Bu take care of her, and she won't let her go out to mess around. In order to come over and join in the fun, Lu Lingqi begged Yan Wei for a long time. Later, Lu Bu felt that it was good to let Lu Lingqi see how hard and tired people were farming, and then let Lu Lingqi come over and have a look.
However, Lu Bu is also a persistent person, this task has not been completed, and Lu Bu does not want to give up halfway, so let Lu Lingqi go ashore first.
"Daddy, I'll help you ......"
Lu Lingqi said, and was about to pick up the fallen iron plow, and her little eyes were still full of excitement. In her opinion, this farming is still an interesting thing. Holding the iron plough in one hand and the whip in the other, spurring the old ox forward, it's fun!
