Chapter 86 Shouzhou Moral Law

First of all, some soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield reported that many grain bags in the granaries of the wharf were cut, and the rice flowed to the ground, and some were even splashed with dung; Some of the rice was ignited by the fire, but fortunately it was extinguished in time.

Immediately afterwards, another soldier said that there was a lot of feces floating on the surface of the only well on the pier, and it was temporarily undrinkable.

Later, pirates in charge of reconnaissance on the perimeter reported that there was an improvised pass at the mouth of the gorge at the southern passage of the bay, guarded by dozens of Cham soldiers.

Jia Yuhang was also aroused, and ordered one after another:

"Immediately take stock of all the grain, and then borrow food from everyone in the bay!"

"Immediately search the nearby creeks and rivers, watch over the source, and check the water quality!"

"Clean up the battlefield again, and leave no one alive!"

"Send small boats to patrol the bay in turn for twelve hours, and not a single suspicious ship shall be spared!"

"Send 2,000 men, immediately capture that southern pass, and then leave 500 men to defend it!"

"Send a thousand men to attack the north, until you can hold on!"

After a night of hard fighting, the pirate team had to go out again and split up.

When the entire wharf was empty, Jia Yuhang led several cronies into the Cham garrison barracks, found a bunk and just wanted to squint for a while, when he heard a soldier outside the door asking to see him, so he had to struggle to get up and shout in.

A middle-aged pirate who had been following Jia Yuhang came in outside the door, showed Jia Yuhang his right hand that was still bleeding, and said angrily: "Boss, we went to collect food, and a little rabbit cub of Cham actually bit me!" Boss, don't you seal the knife? ”

The violent flames that Jia Yuhang had been accumulating in his heart were immediately ignited, and he jumped up violently and roared: "Don't seal the knife!" Ordered to go down, but there is resistance, kill! ”

"Great!" The pirate laughed and strode out.

This command opened the Pandora's box of war, and the slaughter was immediately expanded!

After a night of hard fighting, all the expeditionaries, who were filled with anger, resentment, and exhaustion, like drunken madmen, began to sweep across the docks and the countryside behind, and in just one hour, more than a thousand Cham people died under their swords!

Because of this, October 1 was later called the "Day of National Shame" by the Cham state, and the great war caused by this massacre also became a major attack point against Lin Feng by the Southern Tang Dynasty and the opposition.

However, after a short day of tranquility, Jia Yuhang again received a report that there were Cham soldiers from Lu Rong (Hue) in the north and Nha Trang in the south, and large and small ships arrived one after another from the outside of the bay. In a word, the Cham army wants to besiege them from both land and water!

At the same time that Jia Yuhang was trying to open up the situation in the South China Sea, Lin Feng set off another storm in Shouzhou.

For several days in a row, the besieging Zhou soldiers attacked the city, and Lin Feng did not let the people in the city be idle, he personally drafted the "Shouzhou Moral Law", in addition to posting it on the streets and alleys, it was also published in a special edition of the "Shouzhou Business Daily".

According to Lin Feng's commentary, the law is suitable for any government organization, non-governmental organization or individual. However, before the article was published, a debate was set off between the two editors-in-chief of "Shouzhou Business Daily", Zhu Bi and Chen Shu.

Seeing those articles, Zhu Bi, who was born in an orthodox scholarly education, took the lead in asking Lin Feng a question: "Lord Lin, forgive me for not understanding!" Since ancient times, the country has been governed by virtue, legal people, morality should be promoted, and the public has always been the criterion, how to use the law to measure? ”

Chen Shu was immediately unhappy: "I feel that Lord Lin's proposal is a breakthrough!" Why can't morality be resorted to law? The law, the law, the law, the law, the law! Can morality be beyond the heavens? No one can escape the fetters and punishment of the law in the name of morality! ”

Lin Feng stretched out to stop the two of them, and asked with a smile: "Editor-in-Chief Zhu, what do you think of 'Filial Piety'?" ”

Filial piety, that is, filial piety and honesty. In the first year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty (134 B.C.), the first year of the Han Wu Emperor Yuanguang ordered the county to raise filial piety and honesty one person, that is, one person to raise filial piety. In the normal case of the two Han Dynasty, filial piety and honesty are often concatenated and mixed into one family. The first subject of filial piety and honesty is to select cadres from the bottom to the top, which belonged to the eyes of the clear stream in the Han Dynasty, and was once the right way for officials to enter the body. This system began with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and ended in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and many famous princes were born in filial piety and honesty, which had a great influence on the politics of the Han Dynasty.

"Raising filial piety or honesty to select talents in the countryside is actually a good way to govern the country and elect officials!" Zhu Bi groaned and replied.

"Editor-in-Chief Zhu specifically mentioned 'at first', which shows that this good system was later distorted by crooked monks!" Lin Feng still smiled and slowly explained his opinion, "The facts are very clear, filial piety and unfilial piety, honesty and incorruptibility are determined by the inspector and the lifter, once they are unjust, the person who investigates must not be the real filial piety!"

Since the Han Dynasty, those who have been born in filial piety and honesty have those who have assisted the country, and there are also those who have wine bags and rice bags to harm the people. It is because personal virtue and filial piety have nothing to do with talent at all, and the most important thing to govern the world is talent and talent! ”

Zhu Bi immediately said: "Lord Lin, there is a cloud in the Analects: Politicians, Zhengye!" This requires politicians to first have high moral character, fairness and integrity. No matter how talented a person is, if he has no reliable moral character, he will definitely damage the government and hurt the people! ”

Lin Feng smiled even more, pointed at Zhu Bi and said, "First of all, I have to correct you, you are talking about talent, and I am talking about talent, the difference between the two is still very big." It is precisely because virtue is unreliable that we must use the law as a yardstick! ”

"Then, may I ask Lord Lin how to use the law to restrain morality?" Zhu Bi asked unconvinced.

"It's simple, just guard against any politician just like you guard against a bad guy who does all kinds of evil!" Lin Feng was still smiling, but Zhu Bi's face turned white all of a sudden, his mouth opened, but he couldn't speak.

Lin Feng smiled on his face, and said solemnly: "To put it more bluntly, that is to block every politician's possibility of committing a traitor, from every big or small policy decision, from every small expenditure, from his clothing, food, housing and other aspects to block all his illegal thoughts, so that it is completely possible to make a bad person a good person, this is the law, this is the system, this is the power of the law and the system!" ”

Zhu Bi and Chen Shu looked at Lin Feng dumbfounded, speechless.

Lin Feng smiled again, pointed at Zhu Bi and said, "I don't agree with your concept, but I will defend your right to speak to the death!" Well, if you don't approve of my approach, you can write your objection in the newspaper! ”

Zhu Bi was even more stunned, and stuttered: "This can work, right?" Speak out against your decisions? ”

Lin Feng laughed, turned around and left, and threw down a sentence loudly: "I invited you all the way to be the editor-in-chief, and I definitely didn't let you be my echo worm!" "Shouzhou Business Daily" should not be a newspaper that is also crowded! ”

Zhu Bi was full of surprise, and couldn't help but bow deeply to Lin Feng's back!

On October 3, the "Shouzhou Business Daily" distributed throughout the city published the full text of the "Shouzhou Ethics Law" on the front page, with Lin Feng's remarks and explanations, and some extremely shocking articles were quickly passed on among the wealthy businessmen and gentry who got the newspaper:

……

At the end of the article, a special note was added: The above regulations are not only for officials, unofficial officials and corporate executives, but also for any individual in any organization in Shouzhou.

This issue, which is rare not to have the theme of war, suddenly set off a new round of discussion in Shouzhou City.
