Chapter 514 Xuanwei Bude Min Dayue (15)
As Yan Zhitui said, "If a teenager is natural, habits are like nature", the habits of teenagers will even affect people for life. Zhu Cihong was a character like a scholar when he was studying, and he naturally became infected with the habit of "authority worship". This made him not have much affection for the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty society.
A lot of Zhu Cihong's understanding of clans comes from Lu Xun's novels. However, after really going to the people to take a look and communicating with the people around him who were suppressed by the "patriarchal mountain", Zhu Cihong did not find that the etiquette was eating people. And those places where the phenomenon of "cannibalism" occurs precisely because the etiquette is not respected.
Because of such contradictions, Zhu Cihong carefully sorted out his historical and literary knowledge, coupled with what he had seen and heard over the years, and finally found another possibility.
The clan patriarchal society itself has the dual attributes of politics and the rule of law, and is a supplement to the imperial power. If you analyze the problem that I have been struggling with, it is actually how to maintain its political attributes and smash its rule of law attributes.
In the war of the New Culture Movement against the patriarchal society, the emerging civic ideas wanted to defeat the old subject ideas and subvert the traditional morality and its values. Therefore, in the eyes of Lu Xun and others, the history books are full of cannibalism, and there are blood stains between the lines. These cadres are destined to shatter the dual attributes of patriarchal society, politics and the rule of law, proclaim their own values, and root them in the minds of the people of the worldโthe so-called enlightenment of the people.
Whether it is "Mr. De" and "Mr. Sai" who came first, or "Mr. Ma" and "Mr. Lie" later, this is the case.
At that time, China had reached the point where it was forgivable to rush to the doctor. At this time, Daming did not have such a social environment and ideological conditions at all.
As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong never thought of developing socialism, and capitalism was only a plausible sprout, so he must stand on the standpoint of traditional morality at this stage and protect the political attributes of clan patriarchy. Consolidate your position as a legal rule โ or else lead others to your own life?
And because of the memory of his previous life, Zhu Cihong is very sensitive to the judicial power of the state, which prompts him to smash the rule of law attribute of the patriarchal society.
Once you start to reflect, you will be able to see the whole picture.
Lu Xun himself and other left-wing literati have always had "enemies", so it can be seen that they are only one side in this war, and the probability of grasping the truth is only 50 percent. If what Lu Xun said cuts to the root of all social problems. Convincing the public, he is the spiritual leader โ in fact, he is a fighter, a madman, and, in the popular phrase, a "niche writer."
Once you clarify your thinking and understand the problems you are facing, you will naturally be able to solve them.
With the genealogy of each clan being filed in the county government, the family rules and clan rules and the township rules and people's covenants have the intervention of the prefecture and county yamen, the three elders, and the foreign surnames, and no one can talk to themselves behind closed doors. With the prestige of the current crown prince, all families have upheld the greatest tolerance and welcome for this kind of intervention. And the intervener is also because of the inertia of traditional thinking, with the greatest respect. Try not to dictate other people's affairs.
With mutual humility, the work at the political level has advanced very quickly.
The key lies in the rule of law.
How to ensure that the clan does not say one thing and do another, and enforce the family law behind closed doors?
Feng Yuanhui's proposed method is "itinerant".
The county courts regularly dispatch judges to tour the villages, and on the first day, they openly accept lawsuits and hear cases. The next day, the curtain was raised, and the old and young in the village entered one after another, reported their names and addresses, and each gave a red mung bean. Those who have nothing to do deliver mung beans. Throw the red beans into the jar. Those who can't speak of grievances will secretly hand over red beans and discard mung beans.
After meeting the whole village, young and old. The judge then asked the county police to make an unannounced visit to find out the truth of the matter and protect the vulnerable parties who were suing for grievances.
There are referees in the county who tour the villages, and there are magistrates in the government who tour the counties. Coupled with the overt or covert supervision of the Feng Constitutional Officer, he did not dare to say that he was politically clear. There is no daylight, but it can't.
Under this action, the household registration of the people of Renqiu County, Hejian Prefecture, has an additional fill in the blank with local characteristics: the ancestral hall of the clan to which it belongs.
As the core of the clan, the ancestral hall of each clan is registered by the government, and all the clan properties are also registered, including righteous fields, public fields, sacrificial fields, and so on. This is the official way of saying this: to protect the family property. Do not sell, steal, or embezzle unscrupulous. However, his follow-up hand is aimed at those corrupt officials to prevent the transfer of greedy ink assets to the clan.
Hejian Prefecture and the newly established Ministry of Civil Affairs, as well as Dali Temple, all sent people to inspect. Hejian Mansion considered how to promote it to the whole government, and Dali Temple had to consider how to form provisions to determine the text of the "Huangming Clan Law". The Ministry of Civil Affairs doesn't have to think about anything, just to help with the work.
A director took 100 students ranging from 10 to 20 years old and traveled 300 miles to Renqiu County to reformulate the household registration format and help supplement the household registration. It is also necessary to conduct surveys and statistics of the clan population and the non-clan population, as well as a primary vocational survey to see how many people are engaged in the industrial and commercial service industry, so as to practice more statistical surveys in the future.
The chief had heard of the term "economic census" for a long time, and Yao Tao accidentally slipped it out when relaying the crown prince's instructions. In order to be able to get rid of this work that has been planned all day, the chief volunteered to come to Renqiu, hoping that when there is really a "census" in the future, he can give priority to it.
Facts have proved that under the East Palace system, although there are many good positions, the bitterness and blood and sweat required to get a good position are also indispensable.
This is also the invisible cost of corruption. Once caught, the money is lost, and even the efforts made in the past are in vain.
Before private commercial banks failed to compete with state institutions for talents, Zhu Cihong was really a little unscrupulous.
Zhu Cihong has an advantage, he never thinks of people too stupidly. He didn't think about digging a pit himself, and others would dance very happily one by one. Regarding the promotion of the "Clan Law", he decided to look at the effect of Ren Qiu, and once it is appropriate, he will use the national power to enforce it, as long as it does not break through the critical point, there will be no problem.
What surprised Zhu Cihong, before he gave the order, the other counties of Hejian Province had already heard the news, and most of the clans showed a warm welcome posture, and there were very few clans that really resisted, and the last ones also followed the trend.
Zhu Cihong was very worried that it was the civil affairs officials who made a fierce move for the sake of political performance, and sent people to inspect everywhere, but found that this was not the case. In fact, many clans took the initiative to find the official family and asked to follow the Renqiu system.
At present, no one realizes that there is a contradiction between clan power and imperial power. In the eyes of everyone, the imperial power is taken for granted that it is the first in the world and sacrosanct.
However, the contradictions within the clan have existed for a long time.
the contradiction between the patriarch who controlled the sacrificial power and had a high influence among the clansmen, and the head of the house, who controlled the actual means of production; The contradictions that exist between the small sects that are bullied by the big sects and the big sects that rely on the snorts of the small sects; The contradiction between the clan who wants to get rid of the clan constraints but does not want to lose the protection of the clan and the patriarch who feels that he lacks binding power on the clan people.
The two sides of these contradictions, when they have their own strong power, hope that the strong will be respected. When he was at a disadvantage, he hoped to ask the official family for an explanation, so that outsiders could evaluate it.
When everyone couldn't sit equally on the same height chairs, they all sat on the ground.
With this idea in mind, the clans jumped into Zhu Cihong's pit one after another, for fear that they would be too late.
And because Zhu Cihong relaxed the restrictions and protection of the ancestral hall and lowered the threshold, many large clans even split into new small sects, set up their own ancestral halls, and spread their branches. Some families who lack local heritage can also take this opportunity to set up ancestral halls and continue their pedigree. Naturally, these people have also become staunch supporters of the Clan Law.
Tang Taizong was complacent in the imperial examination: "All the heroes of the world have entered my ranks." โ
Zhu Cihong really felt at this time that the original "pit" could also be very popular.
In the midst of praise, Zhu Cihong's car finally moved forward slowly and left Renqiu County, a place where special reeds were made.
In addition to unexpectedly harvesting a batch of reed mats, Zhu Cihong also knew that someone wanted to reclaim the barren Baiyangdian.
This kind of reclamation is generally supported by the local government, and it is also an important way for the imperial court to increase the land tax, but since there is an opportunity to develop the tertiary industry here, it is natural that the policy should be a little skewed.
"It is good to open up forests and land reclamation and land reclamation," Zhu Cihong fully affirmed the farmers' willingness to expand, "but the ecology of the world cannot only have farmland, but also have lakes and wetlands to divide water and store floodwater." Now the lake has been filled in for a few acres of good land, and it will be difficult to change it back after a disaster.
"Dali Temple is just thinking about how to introduce a "Huangming Natural Environmental Protection Law", which has three rough points: you can open up the mountain, not destroy the forest; It can be reclaimed, but not reclaimed in the lake; You can hunt, but you can't make it extinct. โ
Nowadays, the supply of grain in other places has become an inevitable trend, even if the population of China is more than one billion after 400 years, there are only five major grain-producing areas. With the current population of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is calculated according to the 8.5 million hectares when Taizu founded the country, with the purchased grain, it is enough for everyone to survive. According to the statistics of the Wanli period, there are more than 11 million hectares of cultivated land in the country, then there will be no starvation all over the country.
The key lies in poor harvests, failed harvests, and uneven distribution.
Zhu Cihong decided to start with the most influential "distribution", and he was not very concerned about the newly opened land. If the distribution problem is not solved, no matter how much land is cultivated, people will starve to death. Now this will also allow more people to enter the service industry, make the circulation of goods more convenient, and accelerate the accumulation of capital.
"Your Highness, the world is peaceful, there are many people, how can you feed the population if you don't have enough acres?"
"The world is too big, there is a place for the people to farm and collect grain, why destroy the green mountains and green waters left by the ancestors?" Zhu Cihong has something to say.
Feng Yuanhui, who was on the side, suddenly remembered what he had said about Annan and the grain of Zhancheng, and his heart moved, and he said secretly: Could it be that His Royal Highness really has the heart to expand and forge ahead? When the time comes, it is not bad to be a Baili Marquis who is far away from the emperor! (To be continued......)
