370 It is better to let go than to kill
PS: Thank you rabit2011 and G00D for your support!
Therefore, Hu Guang is still waiting, waiting for the Heavenly Army to gradually grow, to have knowledge, and to have knowledge, so that there is a basis for discussion.
Zhao Yueya heard Hu Guang say no, and she didn't know whether she was happy or disappointed, so she immediately said: "The slave family thinks that it is impossible to have it, and the common people can't even read a word, so how can they formulate a law that will be passed on to future generations." All this, not your final say, reflects your will! ”
In addition to calling Tianjun, all the onlookers admired Zhao Yueya's boldness, and they also agreed with her point of view and felt that she was reasonable. Many people in the crowd even whispered, feeling that the leader of the Heavenly Army had been exposed.
"Hehe" Unexpectedly, Hu Guang laughed for a while, and then looked at Zhao Yueya and said, "Since the establishment of my name Tianjun, free teaching has been implemented, and everyone, not only adults and children, men and women, old people and young children can read and write. As long as they persist, do you think they will have the knowledge to make a law that they approve of? ”
Hu Guang's voice was not very loud, but it seemed to be a deafening spring thunder, resounding in the ears of those who heard it. Everyone can read and write for free, which ...... How is this possible?
When they looked over with suspicion, they found that Hu Guang's face was very calm. When I swept through so many soldiers of the Heavenly Army in the square, I didn't find any strange looks.
Those who are very observant are immediately surprised, is this true? What even the Ancient Saint King couldn't do, so that the Heavenly Army could actually do it?
Zhao Yueya was also shocked, opened her cherry mouth slightly, looked surprised, and after a while, she muttered: "This is impossible." No way! Everyone learns, where are so many gentlemen? ”
"The Chinese characters we call the promotion in the Heavenly Army are a little different from what you know, but they are easy to teach, easy to learn, and easy to remember." Hu Guang smiled and explained for a while. Then he shouted, "Where is Dingguo?" ”
Li Dingguo, who was behind him, hurriedly took a few steps and responded, "Yes." ”
Hu Guang pointed to him and said to the representatives of the people who were watching: "He is an orphan I rescued in Mizhi when I went to Yan'an Mansion last winter. I've been studying for more than half a year now, and my talent is relatively good, and I can already write and read. ”
Speaking of this, he didn't care whether others believed it or not, turned his head and instructed Li Dingguo: "Read the Anmin proclamation!" ”
"Yes, Chief!" Li Dingguo immediately agreed. Then he took out the notice and began to read it aloud.
A slightly immature voice sounded in the square, very naturally, without a hint of pause or stammering.
Many experienced people can see that Li Dingguo is indeed reading the proclamation, and it is unlikely that he is memorizing it. They couldn't help but be secretly surprised in their hearts, or surprised that there was such a thing, or suspect that this half-grown child was very capable of acting?
However, everyone present was quickly attracted by the content of the notice. The proclamation stated the position and purpose of calling the Heavenly Army. I already knew it from the words of Sun Yunxuan and the big leader just now. When they heard this, they were overjoyed that they asked the heavenly army to open a warehouse and release grain.
Even the drought in Shanxi is not as severe as in Shaanxi. But life is also very difficult, almost the relationship between fifty steps and one hundred steps.
There are many rich families in the city, but there are even more poor people. When I heard that I could get food and solve their hungry problems, I couldn't wait to get it right away. The attention that was originally on Hu Guang and Zhao Yueya was shifted at once.
After Li Dingguo finished reading. Hu Guang said to Zhao Yueya: "Although there is no law, it is not judged according to my will. The people in the city are responsible for the murder of corrupt officials and local tyrants and inferior gentry, and the people in the city are guilty of murder and forcing the people to ruin their families. All of them are the targets of my severe punishment to the heavenly army. ”
When Zhao Yueya heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but then she immediately asked, "What if someone frames me?" ”
Hu Guang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and in the winter of last year, he called the heavenly army to kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials and beat local tyrants and shoddy gentry, but it was only carried out in some villages and towns.
Generally, the scale of villages and towns is not large, and the relative population is also small, and the local tyrants and inferior gentry often have only a few households. This is very easy to do, and I have never encountered any problems.
But this Baodezhou City is different, there are a lot of officials in the city, and there are many rich squires. It's hard to judge who deserves to die, who deserves to be punished, and who is okay, because there are so many situations.
The Heavenly Army is not familiar with the inside of Baodezhou City, and if it really happens that some people frame their usual enemies, I am afraid it will not be easy to find out.
If it is called a heavenly army and it is just about the same as an ordinary army, then it is simple. If you see who is rich, you will raid his family and exterminate his family.
But the one founded by Hu Guang is called the Heavenly Army, but it will not be distinguished in this way. Because what he wants to build is a country of the real people, not the elimination of the rich class. After all, the poor people are the common people, and the rich people are also the common people.
Hu Guang saw Zhao Yueya staring at him, waiting for his answer. He turned his head to look around at the officials, representatives of the people, and prisoners who were being held, then turned his head and said seriously: "I'd rather let go than kill the wrong!" ”
Hu Guang said this, not because he was soft-hearted, but because in his opinion, respecting life and the point of view of innocence are a matter of course.
But Zhao Yueya was shocked again, you must know that in ancient times, there has always been a theory of guilt. To enter the yamen is guilty, and an object of suspicion, assumed guilty, must be proven innocent. And not the kind of afterlife, where the assumption is innocent, and guilt must be proved.
But this time she quickly came back to her senses, and her heart was happy, so that her father would definitely not die. She hurriedly said to Hu Guang: "Thank you, chief!" ”
This time, after Zhao Yueya finished speaking, she was ready to sit back in the sedan chair. But Hu Guang didn't let her go, but stopped her and said: "Actually, before the law didn't exist, most of it still reflected my will......"
When Zhao Yueya heard this, she looked at Hu Guang with a little surprise.
"If one day in the future, I have a confused mind, an official like your father, I will kill if I say kill. And if there is a law, it will be different. I wonder if you are interested in participating in the law-making as one of the representatives of the people? ”
The reason why Hu Guang invited Zhao Yueya was mainly because there were too few talents in the Heavenly Army. It is true that in terms of the law, you can find a copy of the "Da Ming Law" and let Tana, who knows traditional Chinese characters, read it.
But Tana grew up in the grassland after all, and was only taught by a child. Compared with Zhao Yueya, who is a scholar, she lacks the background and understanding of "Da Ming Law".
If Hu Guang wanted to formulate laws and state systems that were in line with the actual situation in the late Ming Dynasty, he must refer to the "Great Ming Law" and consult people who were familiar with the Ming Dynasty system. And ordinary scholars are unlikely to join the Heavenly Army. Because in their opinion, the Heavenly Army is just a group of thieves, but Zhao Yueya is different. (To be continued......)
