Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Past of the Lin Family
In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that Zhang Sanlang and Han Yuan fought in public, and Zhao conceived to punish him, but he couldn't bear it, so he first ordered the confinement of the two. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The petty official Lin Xuesong thought of his fifth uncle's past and told Zhao Gou about it.
"In the first two months, the fifth uncle's family was also harmonious, all of them were beaming, and they all felt that they were lucky to be able to work in the most kind fifth uncle's house. However, during the autumn harvest, the farmers of the fifth uncle Zhuangzi were so noisy that they were full of complaints, and they could not harvest the crops in time, and they even bought and sold grain at a high rate and out of the country. ā
"What," Zhao Gou frowned, "Could it be that the servants are bullying the master, the long-term workers in your family have ridden on the head of your fifth uncle?" ā
"No," the petty official shook his head, "The Lin family has been based in Cizhou for a hundred years, and it has been in business for several generations, and all men, women, and children are convinced, and no one will think about it." However, everyone has their own little thoughts. It's not that Shimoda is not diligent, but he is greedy and wants to get up half an hour late, and the fifth uncle wants to be punished, but he feels that he doesn't sleep for half an hour too much, which is not worth it; It's not that I have a black heart, but I'm embarrassed to refuse my family, and the fifth aunt wants to punish her, but she feels that it's understandable, after all, she can't blush with her mother's relatives. At the beginning, it was nothing, everyone said that the five uncles and five aunts were kind, but in the long run, everyone will learn the same, today you are half an hour late, tomorrow I want to be half an hour late; Today you can't save face and buy the food of the people, and tomorrow he will buy the skins of the black-hearted traders for kickbacks. I was not convinced, he was willing to suffer a loss, day by day, everyone was resentful, wary of each other, and in the end, the whole Zhuangzi was naturally filled with crooked tendencies. ā
Zhao Gou felt a little chilled when he heard Lin Xuesong say this, but he thought that human nature is the truth of the world, otherwise why should there be rules and laws? Thinking like this, he was not so sad in his heart, thought about it, and asked, "There are no rules, there is no square circle, didn't your fifth uncle set rules for the family?" ā
Lin Xuesong sighed, "Alas, the king, the farmhouse and the palace are different, maybe everyone in the palace knows the rules, knows that there are some things that cannot be done, and it is illegal to do them." But the farmer doesn't know what the rules are, he only knows how others take advantage, and he can't suffer a loss. Alas, every family has its own difficulties, and my five uncles and five aunts are soft-hearted, and I can't bear this, and I can't bear that. In the past few years, my fifth uncle's Zhuangzi could not make ends meet, and even had to rely on my father to make up for it. The fifth uncle is such a good person, but in those years, the entire Cizhou City was laughing at him as a five fools. This title was called for four or five years, and it wasn't until the fifth uncle did something that everyone changed their opinion of him. ā
"What did he do?" Zhao Gou listened to the surprise and asked repeatedly.
Lin Xuesong was cheerful, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "The fifth uncle accepted my little fifth aunt as a concubine." ā
"Concubine?" Zhao Gou was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that Lin Xuesong wouldn't want to send a Cizhou girl to him, right? This is not good, he Zhao Gou is a person who pays attention to falling in love first and then entering the cave room.
However, Zhao Gou thought too much this time, Lin Xuesong arched his hand and said, "My little fifth aunt is the daughter of a fisherman, before she got married, but the famous toothfish in the entire Zhanghe fishing area, at that time, the neighbors said that whoever married her, then the family would be miserable, and the whole family would never have peace, and the five fools turned out to be really stupid." However, slapping the face is generally the same, since the little fifth aunt entered the door, the fifth uncle's family is thriving. In one year, there are few people in the entire Zhuangzi who have unclear bad debts; In two years, I no longer needed my father's subsidy; Four years later, even my father used to subsidize him, and the fifth uncle paid it back. ā
Zhao Gou was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that this little fifth aunt is a powerful role in a housekeeper, and when she heard this, she was obviously Wang Xifeng, who had made a decision to kill since she was a child.
"The fifth uncle is still the same as before, treating people and things, this is unbearable, and he can't let it go, and there is no change. But because of my little fifth aunt, the villagers not only stopped calling him the five fools, but also because he often helped farmers who couldn't make ends meet, they began to call him a great benevolent person, and many people also offered him his longevity card. It's just," Lin Xuesong smiled again, "My little fifth aunt, all over the country calls her dominatrix behind her back." How could a great good man marry a dominatrix? This question has always been the focus of discussion among the villagers after dinner. ā
Zhao Gou smiled, and understood, a great good person, to be his great good man calmly, not only needs him to be really kind, but more importantly, he must be assisted by a dominatrix. And now, he Zhao Gou is similar to Uncle Lin who did not marry the dominatrix. It's just that Zhao Gou frowned, but at this time he didn't have a suitable Yaksha, it couldn't be Wang Boyan, a traitor, right? Moreover, finding one, or finding a group of fierce cool officials to deter the country, is still ruled by man, which is not the Great Song Dynasty that Zhao conceived.
Zhao Gou rubbed his beardless chin, and thought again, no, there are so many successful countries in modern times, and I haven't seen any country with a fierce Yaksha. So how do they prevent evil from overpowering? Zhao Gou carefully recalled what he had seen and heard in modern times, well, if it is said broadly, they relied on dignified laws; Specifically, they rely on the courts, the police, and the prisons. Zhao Gou's heart moved, in fact, there is no need to refer to the examples of other modern countries, that is, the ancient Chinese Shang Dynasty reform, which also governed the country in an orderly manner. And the beginning of Shang Ying's reform is two things: erecting wood and establishing letters, cutting noses and establishing authority. The prestige and prestige of the military discipline of the volunteers also need to be established by two similar things.
Thinking of this, Zhao made up his mind, stood up with a brush, and said to Kang Xu, "Call Wang Boyan and Feng Yuan in, and Marshal Ben will discuss with them the detailed rules of the military discipline of the Volunteer Army." ā
Zhao Gou discussed with Wang Boyan and Feng Yuan for an hour, which can be regarded as stipulating the punishment methods for the three major disciplines and eight major attentions. Anyone who violates the principle of "obeying orders and obeying commands" shall be given 10 lashes for the first time, 20 lashes for the second time and 20 lashes for the second time, and 20 lashes for the soldiers and expulsion from the army; Violations in wartime, the first time and the second time in peacetime. Those who violate the last two of the three major disciplines will be given five lashes for the first time in peacetime, an officer will be given ten lashes for the second time and demoted to one level, and a soldier will be expelled from the army with ten lashes. The eight points of attention are more-for-tat, for example: those who do not speak in harmony will be punished in the barracks for shouting for an hour; He who mocks a woman with his words draws his mouth with the soles of her shoes for half an hour. Whoever uses his fingers to tease a woman will prick his hand with a needle and awl on the sole of a woman's shoe for half an hour.
As for the comrades-in-arms who not only did not unite and love each other, but also fought with each other, Wang Boyan and Feng Yuan said that these two people were both well-known archers, and the first time they each gave five lashes was considered a severe punishment. Zhao Gou said no, it's not enough, he knows Zhang Sanlang, the deflated calf is not afraid of beating or dying at all, simply, first each of them is beaten with five whips, and then, tie up the two sides of the fight, except for the separation during training, the rest of the time, let them eat together, drink together, and Lazar sleep all like conjoined babies, not separated.
Feng Yuan hesitated, saying that he also knew what kind of character Han Yuan had, what if he was tied up and continued to fight?
Zhao Gou sneered and said, "Then keep tying until the two of them are served!" ā
