Chapter 99: The Enlightenment of the Family (I)
The three new laws began to be tried in the prefecture, in fact, the county was also tried out, and the only thing that remained unchanged was the new territory in Jizhou.
Fang Yun promised not to change for ten years, which naturally means that except for some government agencies, everything else will not change the original policies and laws of Dahan in ten years. Including the nationalization of land, including the protection of new laws.
In other words, in this place, without the so-called patent protection, the patents applied by the people in these places will not be approved, and even piracy here will not be controlled by anyone, after all, there is no corresponding law to regulate.
This point has been announced by Fang Yun through a special edict, and the words that appear most often on it are: "Ten years of unchanged commitment, absolutely resolute fulfillment, please rest assured." ”
In fact, in these new territories, there is not even a chengguan. No one will pay attention to the environment, not even public toilets or something, and the government will not set them up. The reason is simple, after all, the policy will not change in ten years, no.
Maybe there are public toilets, which makes those families or people in these places feel unaccustomed to it, and then disgusted? In order to ensure the fulfillment of the promise, it is natural not to set up toilets!
For the people inside, they have actually lived like that for the past three hundred years, so it really doesn't matter if they don't change. Even for them, whether there is a public toilet, whether the surrounding environment is dirty or messy, and whether there is a primary school, junior high school or university here has no impact on their daily life.
Fang Yun also promised that these sites adopt the original Han filial piety system, and the local government will promote filial piety every year, and then send it to Yecheng for qualification assessment, and then start to go to the local government. Fang Yun promised to maintain this employment system for ten years, but the talents selected here cannot be officials in other places.
At the same time, the military attachés here are mainly sent from the old territory, and the military power is more important than the regime Fang Yun. And the family also knows this truth, so it is not difficult in terms of military power.
However. The question arises, will the family really be satisfied with such an environment?
If there is no comparison, I should be satisfied. After all, they can annex a large amount of land, and they can monopolize technology, and even control almost all the official quotas in the entire Jizhou territory. Here, with a word from them, the whole government stops functioning. They can use it to threaten the government.
After a few months of good life, and then the family that settled down, they went to other places to play, or for other reasons, the children of the family planned to go out to study or something, so they came to Jinyang.
What do they see?
First of all, it is a smooth and spacious official road, which has never been seen before in Jizhou, and it is rare that the whole ground is very hard, and it feels like it is made of a huge stone. Obviously, this is not possible. That's why I feel amazing.
Tolls are a bit unexpected, but in many places this is not uncommon, and it is rare that you only need to pay a toll once for such a long distance, which is indeed very cheap.
In the past, it was all smooth and tamped dirt roads, and it was fine on sunny days, but at most there was a bit of dust. But when it rains, it's depressing, it's muddy everywhere, and the road surface becomes potholes after a large number of cars pass by, and it's definitely a nightmare to walk on it.
At least. Before I got here from Jizhou, I had almost all of this experience, and it was really a nightmare.
"You say, if you build such a road in Jizhou. How many years will it take us to recoup our investment? "Although scholars generally rarely pay attention to the affairs of merchants, when it comes to the prosperity of the family, some eldest sons inevitably need to consider.
"Young master, the question is not whether we can build such a road, the Jizhou government has no plan to build it, and even if it is built, the state government will pay for it. It is impossible to subcontract to us. Besides, we can't buy building materials, and those cement can be used in Jizhou except for military bases, and they are not allowed to appear on the market. Those merchants who sold privately were raided. The accompanying subordinate replied cautiously.
"Why is that?" The children of the family couldn't figure it out, so why were things that benefited the country and the people not allowed to be done.
"It is against the national policy to say that it is contracted to a businessman to build a road or something. How can a farmer take such care of a businessman? Besides, the construction of official roads has always been a matter of the government, and there has never been outsourcing. As for the materials, not to mention, whether it is a building or a road, it is obviously the result of the new policy, considering the basic principle of one country, two systems, to ensure that the original policy of Jizhou will not change within ten years, so it is natural not to use new building materials. Even, all new technologies and processes are not allowed to flow into Jizhou, and violators will be severely fined! The subordinate said weakly.
"Ridiculous, could it be that Fang Yun can't even tell the difference between benefiting the country and the people and putting the cart before the horse?" The children of the family scolded.
"They have also given explanations, such as the problem of new materials and new processes. They have the protection of the Patent Law and other laws, but since this situation does not exist in Jizhou, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be misappropriated by others. In order to avoid such a situation, it is the most correct choice not to flow in. Otherwise, who should be held accountable if something goes wrong?
It would be even more difficult to enforce the law in accordance with the state, because the soundness of the law involves a series of reform issues. And this series of reforms is bound to involve more reform content, and the result is the complete assimilation of Jizhou and Merge Prefecture. Obviously, this will also undermine the agreed rule that the system will not change within ten years, so ...... "This person is gossiping, but I didn't expect to find out all these things clearly."
After all, they are going to travel to other places, and if they don't know anything about the destination, they will inevitably suffer. So when it was time to set off, the family was paired with a few subordinates who were clear to the local family, and that was a matter of course.
"Fang Yun is forcing us to compromise!" The children of that family were not fools, so they could naturally think of Fang Yun's intentions.
"So, the master has also spoken, if you don't use it, you don't need it, is it still rare to have those strange tricks?" The next person returned.
"It's just that without these so-called tricks, our life will not be easy!" The children of the family also realized something when they thought about it, and they couldn't help but sigh.
If they want to assimilate, it means that their government will be further transformed into the current Jinyang, and those people in the Supervision Bureau can definitely annoy their officials to death. And most importantly, who can guarantee that whose ass is clean? Don't think that those who are recommended are really filial piety, and they will not be in office for more than half a year. Definitely another corrupt official.
At the same time, the most important issue is the land issue, and the land that the family values most should be nationalized. This is the last thing they can tolerate, although Fang Yun promised not to change for ten years, they believe it. As long as you persist, it is possible to do it for 10 years, 50 years or even 100 years. Don't say anything else, just look at Jizhou now, when their family comes forward together. I am afraid that the government will not dare to ignore their existence, let alone ignore their demands.
As a price for living backward all the time, is it cost-effective or a loss? In particular, there is no mercantilism in Jizhou, so the benefits that can be enjoyed in Jinyang cannot be enjoyed here in Jizhou.
What this means, naturally, a large number of merchants have left the family and come to settle in Bingzhou. However, the Maison did not lose anything, in fact they had caravans of their own, and they also had shops in various cities, and no one else came to compete with them. Instead, they are better able to monopolize the business here.
In the end, the son of the family came to Jinyang. Here, he saw the clean and wide ground and the orderly urban environment. And even here he sees all sorts of things that he doesn't see elsewhere, and all sorts of legal systems.
There are obviously more goods here, and they are all unavailable in Jizhou. In fact, when the shopkeeper knew that he was coming from Jizhou, he secretly said to him: "It's rare to come once, buy more and go back, as long as it's not for sale, it's basically not illegal." ”
The son of the family also thinks it makes sense. So when they came, it was five cars, but when they left, it had become more than ten. In fact, he thought even further, he could take those things to other families and give them away. In this way. Further strengthen the friendship between the families, and even merge those small families according to the situation.
Then it didn't take long for him to see a huge building, at least three floors, which was considered tall in this era.
"The Chinese Library? It's interesting, go in and have a look! The children of the family looked at the words on the plaque. Then walked in.
When he came to the library, he was told that he could only read books and could not borrow them because he did not have a library card. And he had to be careful when reading it, and if there was any damage, he would have to pay for the book and a fine of the same value.
Books are precious to readers, and it is impossible to destroy them. The children of the family didn't talk nonsense, and browsed directly, only to find that this library was divided into a lot of areas according to the types of books.
He found the Legalist area, where there were quite a few books he had never seen before. At the moment, his breath was a little short, and he even wondered if he had deliberately damaged the cover or something, and then took the books back with him under the pretext of paying a little more, these books were not expensive.
Then a staff member noticed that something was wrong with him, probably commonplace, so he stepped forward and persuaded him: "If you want to buy a book, just go to Hanhua Bookstore to buy it." The books on it are available, and if you don't have them, you can also order them, and even in the case of large quantities, you can pay a little more and have them delivered to your door. In any case, it's cheaper than buying a broken book and paying a fine at the same time.
The children of the family also suddenly thanked the staff, and then began to read.
Readers love this, but they unconsciously saw the closing time, so they left the library with some regrets under the reminder of the staff. Fortunately, the library opens on time every day, so he can come here tomorrow to read.
It was only when he returned to the hotel where he had settled down that he realized what the existence of the library meant.
Obviously, this will make more people eligible to start studying, and then become scholars, to put it bluntly, to grab food in their rice bowls. Fortunately, according to the law, officials in Jizhou will not be able to go to other places for ten years, and at the same time, outside scholars will not be able to go to Jizhou.
Originally, I thought that this was a bill to maintain the 'purity' of Jizhou, but in fact, the children of the family realized at this moment that ten years later, a large number of intellectuals began to be promoted, and even if the scholars of Jizhou could enter and become officials, would there still be a place for their Jizhou students at that time? (To be continued.) )
PS: Sometimes to make a family compromise, you don't necessarily need to use cultural skills to crush the other party, and you don't need to use violence. Occasionally, with some commercial behaviors, some show-off psychology and uneven psychology, it may not be impossible to make the other party compromise Fang Yun is doing that now, it is obvious that the family in Jizhou is also ready to compromise.
