Chapter 401: Exploration of Governing the World
After all, Zhang Fan did not hesitate for too long, and quickly carried out the purging according to the information provided by these people, which was repeated and more reliable, and carried out the purge, and in just seven days, he worked day and night, and successively cleared eleven places in five states at the fastest speed, except for two places, the remaining nine places did not come and moved. Although most of the manpower in these nine places had made some preparations in advance, and four of them had evaded in the secret passages covered by many organs before Zhang Fan's raid, they still couldn't escape Zhang Fan's purge.
After this series of actions, more than 100 people with status, including twenty first-class masters and two super-first-class masters, and even hundreds of minions have been purged and attacked. Because after this series of actions, Zhang Fan could also clearly feel that his perception ability and even the ability of the spell output itself seemed to have become stronger, and there was no need to act like a mortal emperor. Such news quickly spread throughout the five states of the Eastern Plains without a unified organization effectively concealing it.
In the past, ordinary people who were not people in the rivers and lakes didn't take this kind of thing very seriously, because no matter who won or lost, it had nothing to do with them. How much benefit does such a major event as the division of counties and counties in the world bring? Isn't it sweet first, and then half a pound and eight taels compared with the previous rumors? However, compared with the previous rumors, many people among the people, especially in the neighboring areas of Pingyang City, celebrated.
After dealing with the remnants outside, Zhang Fan just took a short rest, and returned to the Pingyang area as soon as possible, unlike before, although the scene was not too crowded, but there were nearly a thousand men, women and children gathered to celebrate when they learned that Zhang Fan had returned.
In the following ten days or so, Zhang Fan successively treated more than 500 patients who came from all over the country and were not light. Of course, many of these people who have the ability and consciousness to come to Pingyang City to seek medical advice are well-off families with a certain prestige in the lower classes of various places, and many of them are still literate.
When these people saw that many long-delayed stubborn diseases could be eliminated in a very short period of time, especially Zhang Fan's own attitude was also approachable, many people were moved to cry: "I am really lucky to have such a king in the world... ”
I don't know why, hearing such praise, Zhang Fan's heart couldn't be happy. After pondering for a moment, Zhang Fan suddenly said, "If I am not an approachable king, but a high emperor. I'm not going to come out to practice medicine and buy people's hearts. I will only think of the folk when the people select women, or: I am worried that the people who handle it will make good or bad, so I often come out to pick flowers myself, so that the younger ones will offer their mothers, the older ones will offer their daughters, and the old ones will offer their wives. I'm not going to give these people any name. They were able to disappear forever. Perhaps I will ask many officials to do the same against you, that is: If I were a dumb tyrant, would you still do this?"
Zhang Fan's words are actually a marginal society to a certain extent, and he has seen a lot of people from three religions and nine streams, and he doesn't understand the mental characteristics of ordinary people. Of course, Zhang Fan's words will only be regarded as straightforward and universal, but it makes people more moved, not to mention that no one dares to say strange things in front of Zhang Fan even if they are muttering: "This... It should all be ... ”
Zhang Fan shook his head in desperation, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "Are there any of you who, oh, or have heard of it: know that you or someone you know is very good at writing articles or reasoning? That is to say, you are very good at gossiping about political affairs and world affairs?"
Of course, such inquiries quickly yielded results, and Zhang Fan quickly found dozens of people who claimed to be proficient in this way, but after Zhang Fan's careful interview, only one person was selected from them. In addition, in Pingyang City, Zhang Fan also spent some effort to select a person who is good at sketching.
When the accumulated number of people who came to seek medical advice was not as many as before, Zhang Fan found a storyteller who was said to be very good at talking about world affairs and even Jianghu affairs came to his side and said: "I want to come up with a book, but I am worried that my thinking is not thoughtful or even my argument is not good, and I hope that Mr. will help mellow it... ”
"It is an honor to serve the Lord for three lives... The middle-aged storyteller in his forties said respectfully to Zhang Fan.
"I want to write a political essay, but I'm worried about giving people a sense of boasting... In this way, I would like to argue that if everything in the world is free and competes with each other in a natural state, the strong who are better at competition will come to the fore, and the final result will be that the strong will always be strong and the weak will always be weak. Wealthy people have bankrupts, but on average they always make their descendants or future generations richer. If there is a top-level martial arts family in the world, who needs to support the core relatives of hundreds of descendants, at least 1,000 servants, and the cost and expenses need about 100,000 flat loads of grain equivalent to goods every year, then at least 10,000 farmers with sufficient land are needed to support them. In other words: as long as there are about 4,000 large households, the rising rich and powerful can overwhelm the world with a population of 200 million and 40 million households. In order to reduce the burden on the masses under such circumstances, the ideal order is to establish the self-government of the masses below the county seat, and there is no obligation to pay taxes naturally, only the obligation to buy and sell. What you want from the population is what you have to give. Above the city are the officials sent by the monarch to govern and restrain the merchants of the world. In this way, it is best to form an effective alliance between the broad masses of the people themselves and the monarchy, and squeeze and compress the power and wealth of the middle stratum to the greatest extent, so that the world can rule for a long time. Unless there is a particularly bad faint tyrant. Otherwise, even if an emperor needs 10,000 servants, 3,000 beauties, and tens of thousands of lackeys, in terms of burden, it is only equivalent to thirty or forty ordinary big households, and the burden of the world can be reduced to the greatest extent. This is called monarchism. I hope that this truth can be richer, yet concise and practical, and can be understood by most people. It is best to control the number of words at about 5,000 words, and 3,000 words is the best, so that only one example can be used to explain the truth clearly, and the topic is called the monarch's theory. . . ”
In fact, Zhang Fan's requirements are also a test for this storyteller to a large extent, but this storyteller who is good at lip service is not ambiguous with another person who is good at sketching shorthand. It took about two hours or so to complete the first draft of "The Treatise on the Monarch".
After Zhang Fan saw it, he seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied: "It seems that there is still something missing, so let's do it: the idea and rules I want to establish a new institutional framework should be... ”
In this way, after reading it, Zhang Fan put forward revisions from time to time, adding a lot of content and further condensing it, and finally formed a "Theory of the Monarchy and the World" that could barely crowd on a list of no more than 5,000 words. . .
It should be said that without any modern political economy and philosophical understanding, Zhang Fan's "Five Thousand Words on the Monarchy and the World" came up with his own experience and wisdom, and gradually took shape under the patient carving in a few days. The two who were busy with Zhang Fan were tired and fell down as if they couldn't hold on for long after Zhang Fan acquiesced.
In fact, compared to these, if it may not have much effect, Zhang Fan's initial idea was to establish an organization similar to a religious model in the name of God, but with Zhang Fan's further improved wisdom at this time, he thought about it for a while, and then recalled his experience of such forces, and finally chose to give up. It is clear that the essence of the sect is a faith-based organization, which is very xenophobic. For example, if there are two talents, one is very talented in government or military affairs, but he does not seem to be a very devout disciple in words and deeds, and he is relatively distant from the upper echelons of the sect, then he must not be as valued as the direct cronies of the upper echelons of the sect. Zhang Fan has heard a lot of all kinds of contradictions caused by this. Moreover, because the upper echelons of such sects are very closed, and political intrigue in the secret room is prevalent, many things cannot be clearly discussed in public, and as a result, it is still easy to fall into corruption and division. In a way, it is not as good as a scholar-like organization based on a kind of practical Taoism...
In this way, Zhang Fan gave up the idea of using the sect and his own Shinto authority at the beginning, and instead learned from one of the ancient sages in the Dongyuan Kingdom as a "sage" and established a "Taoist organization"...
In this way, even with Zhang Fan's transcendent status and identity, after preliminary selection, a thousand people who seem to be quite reliable and literate from well-off families have been selected. When Zhang Fan was fully prepared, he gathered together and told some of the things that Zhang Fan was thinking about.
It's just that when Zhang Fan subsequently used the spiritual power that ordinary people don't have, he quickly discovered some vulgar things. Many people are still one thing in front of them and one thing behind their backs, pious in front of them, and after leaving themselves at a certain distance, they suddenly have a different status and prestige in front of people as if they have become a big official.
Obviously: his own hint seems too obvious: these hundreds of people are the first batch of his cronies who rule the world with respect, and they will have a status of either rich or noble in the future...
This made Zhang Fan feel that the organization he established should not follow the example of many martial arts sects, and it was a hierarchical organization with clear upper and lower levels in the traditional sense. The lower class needs to have a certain position of power to not be completely dependent on the upper class. At the same time, the personnel mechanism should also reflect the factor of co-governance between the monarch and the public.
Although Zhang Fan had the experience of navigating the rivers and lakes back then, he lacked the experience of managing a place and being the leader of a force, and many things seemed to be taken for granted by himself from the perspective of logic and human nature, and he didn't know what problems would arise after practice. This made Zhang Fan feel that he should still be cautious in many aspects. It is better to first establish an experimental "new government" in a place such as Binh Duong, and if this system is effective in practice, or can be adjusted and saved, then of course it is the best. If not, I'm afraid I'll have to change course or find another way.
Of course, when planning these things, Zhang Fan also realized that too major social changes could not be achieved overnight, although he had the ability to be invincible in the world, but if he purged the world at this time and there was no way to establish a new mechanism, it would undoubtedly plunge more places into chaos again.
In this way, Zhang Fan first made some adjustments to some county fiefdoms. Adjust the feudal lords in the Binh Duong area to more than ten counties that have been cleaned by themselves, and form a place that can be ruled in their own name. Then, on the basis of certain organizational principles, a new ruling body will be tentatively established on the basis of these 500 people. In the personnel system, they nominate themselves and give general presentations, and then the public only has the right to make suggestions and vote partially.
Zhang Fan seems to have realized that there are great differences between people, and that if a system wants to be effective, it is not possible to select the most conscious people and organize them together and say that it is feasible, it must be able to stand the test of a group of mediocre people, even the top and middle levels that are not very good. Thinking of this, Zhang Fan also had some new ideas: I don't know if he acted like a mediocre and guarded person, and mixed some mediocre people and even undesirable elements into this team to rule, would it bring about an obviously too bad phenomenon? Can it provide enough space for the game at the lower levels? Under such circumstances, Zhang Fan had to make some new arrangements.
It didn't take long for the new bureaucracy system in Binh Duong to be established, but even then it took more than two months for the lower-level officials to have a minimum familiarity and understanding of the people and things in many areas of responsibility.
Zhang Fan also went back to the Emperor's Cliff during this period, because in a sense, the crisis against himself was not completely resolved, so he had no intention of moving the capital to Pingyang except to see if there was any chaos in the situation of children's self-government.
In order to ensure that this kind of social experiment is not goofed, Zhang Fan only had these ideas in his heart, and of course he had no intention of making them public. Under the circumstance that Zhang Fan's deliberate indulgence and even arranged for many undesirable elements, many shortcomings soon reappeared in the newly restored order in the Pingyang area. It's just that Zhang Fan, who is still quite smart, found some problems: if people know that it is a different lord who comes to govern in person, then many things may not be able to be tested in the real sense, and it seems that he may have to move back to the Emperor Cliff and let many people know this.
