"Tianyi's words are wrong!" Zhang Lie's voice fell, Guan Ning came out of the ranks, and said generously, "The first Qin ruled the country by law, although it was strong for a while, but only the second died, and the two Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools since Emperor Wu respected Confucianism alone, and it has lasted for more than 400 years. ”

Zhang Lie said: "Confucian etiquette and righteousness can be used to educate the people, but the governance of the country requires severe punishment and harsh laws, although Emperor Wu deposed a hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone, but he still ruled the world by law, isn't this a fact?" ”

Guan Ning said: "To rule the world by law, in fact, to stop evil with evil, can be said to abandon the original and chase the end, only need to govern the world with etiquette and righteousness, in order to persuade the people to be good, so that the world is governed." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Lie said: "People's surnames are evil, how can everyone respect etiquette and righteousness." ”

Guan Ning said: "People's surnames are good, and evil is not effective in education." ”

It seems that Guan Ning is on the same page with Zhang Lie, Zhang Lie is deeply versed in the art of war and good governance, and believes in Legalism, Guan Ning is good at governance and believes in Confucianism, and the two began to debate-for-tat because of which school of academia should govern the world, Zhang Bao is a person in the future, although he is not proficient in the two schools of academics, but he still knows a little about Legalism and Confucianism.

Confucianism can greatly consolidate the dominance of the ruling class, Confucius and Mencius apprentices divided the people of the world into three, six, nine and so on, and on this basis, formulated the "three outlines and five constants" and other strict human etiquette, so that the kings of all dynasties can enjoy the lofty sense of being high and accepting the worship of all the people in the world, so since the two Han Dynasty, the successive dynasties have spared no effort to promote Confucianism.

All in all, Confucianism has obvious advantages, that is, it can enable all people in the world to abide by their duties, live in an orderly manner, and make a great contribution to the stability and prosperity of society! But Confucianism also has a fatal weakness, its revered way of etiquette and righteousness can easily emasculate the blood of the Han people, and it has a fatal killing power against doctrines that do not conform to Confucianism.

As a modern person, Zhang Bao is obviously more inclined to rule the country by law, and is more inclined to the hundred academic disputes during the Warring States period, but this is too early.

"Don't fight!" Zhang Bao Huoran stretched out his hand to stop Guan Ning and Zhang Lie from continuing to argue, and said in a deep voice, "According to what Tianyi said, the rule of law is the country, but considering the regional differences between the grassland and my Han realm, this general thinks that there must be two prerequisites for the implementation of criminal law in the grassland, Tianyi, you need to listen carefully." ”

Zhang Lie said respectfully: "Just listen to it." ”

Zhang Bao said in a deep voice: "In addition to the people of the Han Dynasty on the grassland in the future, there are also a large number of Hu people, what the general wants to say is that the Han people are first-class, the Wuhuan people and the Xiongnu who have now surrendered are second-class, Xianbei and all the Hu people conquered in the future are third-class, the first-class Han people enjoy privileges, killing the third-class Hu people can be exempted, killing the second-class Hu people can reduce the sentence, the second-class Hu people killing the Han people will be severely punished, and the third-class Hu people will kill the Han people~~ Yiqi Nine Clans! ”

Zhang Lie said: "I just wrote it down." ”

Zhang Baodao: "Also, in the future, the Han people living in the grassland, whether they are immigrants or soldiers, must encourage them to take more concubines and have more children, and one concubine will be rewarded with 100 yuan, and 10,000 yuan will be rewarded for ten children!" Second-class Hu people are only allowed to marry wives and not take concubines, and they are not allowed to have more than two children! Third-class Hu people are not allowed to marry wives or have children! If there is a violation of severe punishment, this article ~~ is also written into the criminal law. ”

Zhang Bao deliberately added this article in order to lay down the population policy, and its goal was to integrate and eliminate the alien barbarism within two generations, so that the Han people would become the only ethnic group living in the grasslands outside the Saiwai.

In this way, the Wuhu, Turkic, Khitan, Dangxiang, Jurchen, Mongol, Houjin and other northern nomadic peoples in the Central Plains will never appear again, even if there are still northern nomadic regimes in later generations who go south to conquer the agricultural regimes in the Central Plains, it is just an internal struggle of the Han people, and the danger of destroying the country and exterminating the species does not exist.

Everyone present looked as usual, and did not show much surprise. After all, in this era, the xenophobia of the Han people is extremely serious, and the idea that they are not of our race and their hearts must be different can be said to be deep-rooted.

Even Liu Zheng, who was extremely resistant to the Yellow Turban, even slightly changed his opinion of Zhang Bao because of this, thinking that this person had cholera in the world, but he could slaughter foreign barbarians without mercy, but on the contrary, he took good care of the interests of the Han people, and was far more merciful than many thieves.

Zhang Lie said respectfully: "Lie takes the order." ”

Zhang Baodao: "This matter is settled, Tianyi can draft a set of criminal laws as soon as possible, and then select appropriate officials to implement criminal laws in Youzhou and outside the Saiwai, so as to end the current chaotic and disorderly situation as soon as possible and realize the rule of law." ”

Zhang Lie said: "Obey the Lord's order. ”

Zhang Bao said again: "There is another thing, General Ben wants to hear Tianyi's opinion. ”

Zhang Lie said: "My lord, please speak." ”

Zhang Bao said: "Previously, our army's internal affairs were all taken care of by you, and when I heard that Tianyi would do it personally, I would do it personally, and the general was very worried about your body, from today onwards, the government will not have to control matters such as salt, iron, charcoal (coal), and freight transportation in a unified manner." ”

As soon as Zhang Bao's words came out, Xu Ming, the head of the Xu family, immediately pricked up his ears.

"Lord!" Zhang Lie hurriedly said, "Salt, iron, and charcoal mining are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and they are major matters, how can the government let go?" ”

"Letting go is not the same as letting go." Zhang Baodao, "The salt mill, iron mill, charcoal mining yard, horse farm, etc. are still owned by the government, and the merchants are only responsible for operating and paying taxes to the government!" Merchants are not as mercenary as the government, so they can make the most profit with the smallest resources, and can make the efficiency of the salt mills, iron mills, and charcoal quarries faster and higher. Only in this way can our army's logistical support be faster and more effective in wartime. ”

Zhang Bao's trick is actually the contract responsibility system of later generations, which contracts all the salt mills, iron mills, charcoal mining fields, and military horse farms owned by the government to individual businessmen to operate, and the government is only responsible for dividends and taxes. Self-employment is more flexible and efficient than collective management, which is a household name in the 21st century, but in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, no one could understand it.

Although Zhang Lie was rich in five cars, he was also confused, and asked Zhang Bao in confusion: "Let the businessman run it, isn't all the benefits taken by the businessman?" ”

Zhang Bao shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that he couldn't explain clearly to Zhang Lie, so he said in an unquestionable tone: "This matter is settled, Tianyi doesn't need to persuade him anymore, he can post notices in all counties and counties as soon as possible, so that powerful and interested families and merchants can take over the operation of iron mills, salt mills, charcoal mining fields, and horse farms in various places." ”

Seeing that Zhang Lie's face was uncertain, Zhang Bao finally added: "Tianyi, General Ben is also worried about your body, you really can't work like this anymore." ”

Zhang Lie's unhappiness in his heart was gone, and he said gratefully: "I just thanked the lord." ”

Zhang Bao suddenly said: "Salt making, iron making, charcoal mining and other things can be let go of the business, but there is a major matter that Tianyi needs to do in person." ”

Zhang Lie said: "Obey the orders of the lord." ”

"This big thing is coinage!" Zhang Bao exchanged glances with Jia Xu, and said in a deep voice, "General Ben plans to build a mint in Youzhou, mint five baht coins on a large scale, and start five baht coins next year."

Outside coins were gradually banned, and three years later, under General Ben, only five baht were allowed to circulate. ”

Of course, the most profitable business in the world is to make money, do you say that the banknote printing factory can not make money? Only by holding the power to make money in his hands, after Zhang Bao liberalized the commercial trade, could he ensure that there were enough coins to buy the necessary weapons, armor, horses, and grain from the merchants.

Regarding Zhang Bao's idea, Zhang Lie seemed to understand, and happily hugged his fists and said: "Lie dares to disobey his fate." (To be continued.) )
