Two majestic beast "Hedgehog" stone statues stand outside the official office of Dali Temple, the interior of the highest legislative body of the Zhao family is not decorated, it looks simple and upright. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The hall where legislation is discussed is not a traditional hall structure, but a circular chamber with seats in a stepped downward shape, so that anyone can be heard by others in the back row.

After suppressing a strange voice, Xiang Lu continued: "This happened a hundred years ago, in the summer of that year, Lu Xuangong went to Surabaya to cast nets to fish, and Dafu Lige came out to interfere, saying that according to the system stipulated by Zhou Gong, 'summer, March Chuanze does not enter the net' (you can't go to the river to fish during the growing season every summer), Lu Xuangong's practice violated the ancient system. Li Ge not only tore up the fishing net and threw it into the water, but also loudly preached the ancient precepts to Lu Xuangong......"

"In order to protect the grass, trees, birds, beasts, fish and insects and make them multiply, the newly born trees on the mountain must not be cut again, the aquatic plants that have not grown in the water cannot be cut, the small fish cannot be fished, the young animals cannot be fished, the eggs of birds cannot be touched and the eggs are broken, and the unformed larvae cannot be damaged. This is a precept of the ancients, and its purpose is to allow fragile young animals to reproduce. The country of Lu has this ancient precept, so that Qufu, Fei, Dongwu City and other places can keep the mountains and rivers intact, inexhaustible for hundreds of years, and use them endlessly. ”

His voice changed: "But it is not the case in the Jin Kingdom, from the Jin Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, but in more than a hundred years, the forests around the Dynasty were cut down, so the farmland also declined, the water flow gradually became polluted, the Jin Kingdom had to move the capital, and it has been a hundred years, the population has multiplied, cutting wood and burning pottery, porcelain, and building houses, so Xinjiang is also declining, why is this?" ”

Everyone began to turn their heads and discuss, and Deng Xi did not let Xiang Lu take the limelight, he stood in the center of the hall with a majestic hedgehog crown on his head, and said to everyone: "I am not an unreasonable person, the second and third sons want to stop the promulgation of this decree, but also to let the people open up farmland, increase taxes, and at the end of the year, the township chiefs can look good." ”

Everyone was stunned, knowing that their minds had been seen through.

"But you only see the benefits of the previous moment, but you don't know that these mountains, forests, and rivers are closely related to the farmland. Zhou Taishi Boyang's father believed that only when the water and soil were aerated and the land was moistened, could people use it to grow grains. The soil and water were not ventilated, the land was rotten into stinking mud, grain could not be grown, there was no financial use, and the country perished. The key to soil and water aeration lies in the flourishing of trees! This point, under the verification of the scholars, has also been confirmed. ”

Deng Yi raised his hand and showed the magic weapon of the finale, and the students in the school palace who liked "Gewu" did a small soil erosion test and wrote a report to Zhao Wuxian.

"The protection of mountains, forests, rivers and rivers is not a whim, but linked to the national economy and people's livelihood. I also hope that the second and third sons will think twice! ”

The discussion continued, but as the doctors voted on the decree, there were many more hands raised......

……

In the end, this decree was passed by a narrow margin, and Zhao Wuxian, who was hiding behind the curtain of the hall at that time, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he gave the legislative power to the Dali Temple and let the doctors and lawyers tear it up themselves, if some of the terms he wanted to win were hindered, Zhao Wuxian would force them through with an iron fist.

Although the general legal system of newborns was raised to a very high height by Zhao Wuxian, Dali's status was second only to his "Dazai" Dong Anyu, "Jia Sima" Post Wuzheng, and "Zhisu Neishi" Ji Ran. But in reality, the legal system, like any other position, still prostrates under the wing of the monarch, and is the foil of the monarch's power, not above it.

Zhao Wuxian's open-mindedness, based on absolute ****, can be reluctantly called "enlightened ****".

Of course, this does not mean that he will give up the "divine right of kings".

Fortunately, the law was successfully passed, and he didn't have to take action himself to break the rules of the game that the doctors were so happy to play.

The reason why he paid so much attention to this was because Zhao Wuxian came from later generations, and was deeply impressed by the dirty air, the dirty rivers, the sandstorm-encroached north, and the thick fog of that era. Back in the spring and autumn, while being pleasantly surprised by the superior prosperity of the natural environment at this time, I was also shocked by the outrageous squalor of some cities.

For example, Gujiang, it used to be the political center of the Jin Kingdom, where the Marquis of Jin and the Liuqing lived and accepted envoys from various countries. However, it is also a city with a very poor plan, the palace is better, but the residential areas and the market are filthy, the narrow streets and alleys are like a labyrinth, the sound of people is bustling, and the stench of excessive garbage accumulation in the city can be smelled even outside the city walls.

Even, walking on the streets of Loess Road, in addition to eating dust, you may also step on feces...... The city of tens of thousands of people is crowded, and eating, drinking, and Lazar are all solved in this one-third of an acre, if the sewage ditch is not planned well, it is simply a nightmare!

Of course, it is not only feces that enter the ditch, dead bodies, garbage, domestic sewage, everything, and over time it is naturally silted, and the reason why the Jin Kingdom was forced to move from the old Jiang to Xinjiang is not only because of the relationship between geography and shipping, but also because it is a little impossible to stay here.

Han Ju said helplessly: "The land of Jiangdu is narrow and crowded, and if it is too old to be strong, it will be filthy and evil, and if it gathers but does not leak, the water will be salty and brine." ”

In modern terms, there are many people in Jiangdu, and the feces, urine and garbage have been discharged indiscriminately for a long time, and the drinking water has been affected and tasted after accumulation, and it feels disgusting when you think about it......

Therefore, when the new capital of the Jin Kingdom was chosen, Anyi, where the soil was thin and the water was shallow, and the garbage was easy to gather and not easy to disperse, was quickly denied. Xintian, where the soil is thick and the water is deep, is not easy to get sick when living, and there are two rivers in Fen and Hun that can disperse pollutants in time.

Behind the glamour and magnificence of any civilization, there is the smell of feces and urine, whether it is Chinese or Western, it is like this, the streets of London and Paris are more filthy and dirty than Chang'an Luoyang......

So coming to Yecheng can be said to be a new beginning, after getting rid of the hard to return to the land, Zhao Wuxian has a lot of ambitions.

The habit of defecating and going to the toilet is strictly enforced, and those who litter the street are criminally responsible and are arrested by Jin Wu to sweep the streets! He also set up a lot of dung diggers in the city to collect manure and garbage and send it outside the city to be used as fertilizer. Yecheng's sewage ditches are designed to be wide, the outlets of sewage are far away from residential areas, and wetlands and woods are preserved, hoping that nature will slowly purify all this.

"I just hope to have a good start...... Zhao Wuxian sniffed Yecheng, which has been under construction for three years, and has not yet smelled the disgusting stench of Jiangdi City, he hopes that his children, as well as other people's children, can grow up in a healthy environment.

In addition to the squalor of the city, the reason why the land has been declining for hundreds of years is the destruction of the surrounding environment of the city.

For example, the densely populated and agriculturally developed Central Valley region of Mexico was originally a thriving civilization and a superior natural environment, but it was slowly cut down by the Indians with stone axes, and finally turned into a desert......

In addition to the shift of the geographical center of gravity, the decline of the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties in Guanzhong is also closely related to environmental changes and vegetation destruction. That's why Zhao Wuxian included the retention of part of the forest around Yecheng into the law.

Thanks to the Zhou Dynasty, Chinese people of insight have realized that the delicate relationship between the environment and agriculture was finally born on the basis of those "ancient precepts", and may be the world's first environmental protection law...... Although it is only a small clause attached to the "Tian Law", it is also two hundred years earlier than the Qin State wrote it into the Qin Law.

After the dust settled, Zhao Wuxian appeared to express his support for this law, and he said to the doctors: "If you don't violate the agricultural time, the grain cannot be eaten; The number of dogs does not enter the pond, and the fish and turtles cannot be eaten; The axe enters the mountains and forests at the right time, and the timber is not usable...... Grain and fish and turtles are not edible, and timber and wood are not used, so that the people can live and die without regrets...... I only hope that Yecheng can continue like this, as the capital of the Zhao family, it will not fade for thousands of years! ”

……

Simon Leopard, of course, didn't know that there were so many stories behind the preservation of the woods on the edge of the field. He saw that the neighbor's teenage children were treading water, and he also wanted to try it, but he couldn't do it steadily. He was too small and his feet were uncoordinated, and he was so frightened that he hung up on the bar, causing others to laugh, saying that he was like a field chicken that could not go up or down.

Little Simon Leopard's face was blushing, but his mother hugged him down, and then held her head high, and proudly said to the neighbors that his children were destined not to do these farm work, it didn't matter, because with his intelligence, he could be promoted from Mengxue to primary school, and he would become an official in Yecheng in the future!

The village women suddenly didn't dare to laugh, and they all changed their words to praise Simon Leopard for being smart, knowing a lot of words at a young age, and being able to write down the songs they could sing and write on weekdays and give them to the Yuefu officials who came to collect the style.

boasted and boasted, and they were about to praise him as a prodigy.

Simon Leopard was ashamed to burrow into his mother's arms, but his mother was proud.

Literate and knowledgeable, unconsciously, the people of Yedi have become enthusiastic about such people. Because of the regulations of the Zhao government, regardless of the pavilion or li, if you want to be an official at the county and township level, you must be literate! Counting!

For a time, the doctors and scholars in some counties and townships were all over the country, and the official education of the Jin Kingdom had been in decline for many years, and they had not even learned the most basic gentlemen's six arts. Of course, the Zhao government also has enough reasons:

If you are illiterate, how will you explain the law to the people?

If you don't know how to count, how can you not be deceived by the officials and businessmen on weekdays, and how can you hand in an answer sheet that satisfies your boss at the end of the year?

Finally, as a blind person, how can we set an example for the people under my rule and promote Zhao's policy of "teaching less"?

The illiterate officials were speechless for a moment, but Zhao did not cut it all and gave them three years, and when he was in retirement, he went to a nearby school to attend a crash course in literacy, and learned the hundreds of words commonly used in the "Urgent Chapter", as well as basic numbers and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. As soon as the three years arrive, they have to take the exam, and those who fail to pass can take off their official seals, take off their official uniforms, and go home to farm.

Therefore, anyone who aspires to be an official is as hungry as learning words and numbers, such as Simon Leopard's father, who is cheeky to let his son teach himself, because he is an ambitious person, he wants to be a pavilion chief, and then slowly climb up, and even one day be able to be an official in the township!

The Zhao family's financial resources are limited, and they can only ensure elite education, so there are only one in ten children who can be promoted from Mengxue to primary school, and almost all of them are trained as future officials......

Simon Leopard still doesn't know about these things, so he just thinks it's fun to read. They began treading water at sunset, and by the end of the day, they looked up to see that the sky was already full of stars......

In the next few months, the study of the school and the life of the farmer continued, and Simon Leopard was finally able to walk like a fly on the overturned car and play with his partners.

But in mid-August, when it was time to plant winter wheat, they lost interest in the keel waterwheel......

Because on this day, Simon Leopard and his companions were surprised to see that right next to the ditch opposite their field, a huge machine was slowly being built under the command of a group of craftsmen......

They walked over cautiously, and as far as Simon Leopard knew, this should be a new kind of waterwheel, but it was many times larger than his family's overturned car, and it was as high as three feet! It looks like a giant wheel towering over the water's edge......

PS: The "Qin Law and Tian Law" unearthed by Yunmeng Qin Jian stipulates that "in spring and February, do not dare to cut down timber wood, mountains and forests and Yongdi water, do not dare to turn the night grass into gray ...... in the summer" In fact, it is only a small step ahead of the times.
