Chapter 333: The Real Power is in the Hands of the Empress Dowager Dou (18)

Qiao Mu looked at their excited appearance, and couldn't help it, so he gave them a basin of cold water:

"It's true, but don't think it's easy to promote the cultivation of good seeds.

This hybrid seed is flawed.

That is, only the yield of the first generation of seeds is relatively high, and the yield of the second generation of seeds will be slightly reduced, so what you have to do is not just to take the seeds from me and promote them.

If it's that simple, what do I need you for? Won't I promote it myself?

The cultivation of excellent varieties and further research and development, these are the problems that you need to learn and study, and it is also the knowledge that you need to learn together.

Do you three understand? ”

The food problem is definitely a problem that cannot be ignored, and it is not too cautious to be overly cautious, even if it is impossible for the arbor to immediately give them seeds to promote, then there are some things that must be explained to them clearly in advance.

You can't say it's going to be at the end of the day.

It won't be able to catch up by then.

Hearing Qiao Mu mention the defects of the seeds, Dou Ying and the others were not worried about being sad, but they were even happier, because if such a good thing was really perfect, they would feel that it was a little too perfect, and now that there were defects, they could still control the defects that they could make up, which not only made them more convinced that the thing was true, but also made them feel that the seeds were defective, and the way to make up for the defects was only known to their family, which was a more perfect and perfect talisman.

This means that as long as their family keeps this secret, then absolutely no one will dare to touch their family, and once their family is moved, the secret of making up for the defects will be lost, and no one can afford to bear the sin of reducing the country's grain production.

It is useless to apologize for sins.

Qiao Mu saw that they were so optimistic, and he didn't bother to tell them anymore, anyway, she was still alive now, and with her watching, nothing would happen, so he just said that they would take time to go to their own Huangzhuang every day to study for a few hours, and when they learned it, they would hand over the promotion of improved varieties to them.

Faced with the requirements of the arbor.

Naturally, they nodded their heads again and again, promising that they would study hard and make progress every day.

After this matter was said and the three brothers of the Dou family were a little more relieved, Dou Ying continued to ask out of sympathy and doubts for the same Confucianism:

"Auntie, there's something I don't understand.

Dong Zhongshu's proposal for the Spring and Autumn Prison Break I think it's pretty good, why do you want to veto this proposal at the expense of giving a military talisman, now the law of the Han Dynasty is indeed quite strict in some places, and some aspects are indeed very inhumane, for example, a man was abandoned by his biological parents at birth, adopted by his adoptive parents, when the man has achieved something in adulthood, his biological parents come to fight with his adoptive parents, and at this time, when the adoptive parents and the biological parents fight, the adoptive son will be punished with 20 canes because he helps his adoptive parents, and accidentally hits his biological parents.

Such a punishment is lawful though it is lawful.

But I don't feel like it.

Because it's not ethical.

If we don't follow the law and let everyone judge fairly, I believe that the vast majority of people will choose the innocence of men, and at the same time, most people will still think that the benevolence of the man is greater than the grace of the birth, and the man should mainly support his adoptive parents, and for the biological parents, as long as they do a little responsibility.

But according to the law, this is wrong.

Men must support their biological parents.

It doesn't matter what the adoptive parents are.

How unjust is this law?

If the sentence is based on the Spring and Autumn Prison Sentence, there is nothing wrong with what the man has done, so he is innocent.

Nor does he need to give up and abandon his biological parents in the same way that he fosters his real parents.

Isn't that bad? ”

"You only see the good places.

But you don't see the danger of doing that.

And I didn't completely veto the Spring and Autumn Prison Break, but I can't use the Spring and Autumn Prison Break as the main basis for judging the case, at most it can only serve as an auxiliary basis for the Han Law, since you tell me an example, then I'll also tell you an example.

If A's father is killed by B, A then kills B and B's wife in revenge.

This is a capital offense according to the law.

But if you are sentenced according to your so-called Spring and Autumn Prison Break, this is a great revenge, and the revenge of the Ninth Emperor of the Gentleman can also be revenge, and it is a great revenge for justice.

The revenge of killing his father should be avenged.

In the clear.

Do you think that's fair?

What about B's wife?

Moreover, if B's son takes revenge again and kills A and A's son, then this is still a great revenge, and according to the scriptures, he is still not guilty.

Such a generational grudge, when is the time to rest.

Do you have to kill a family?

And that's just a superficial question.

Once the case can only be judged by the scriptures and righteousness, and not based on the law, then what is the use of the law, the law becomes a dead letter, and the meaning of the scriptures can be distorted, which will completely change the system of the country from the rule of law to the rule of man.

The rule of man is selfish.

And it's easier to find loopholes than the rule of law.

If the law is strict and rigorous, then even if you want to find loopholes, it is extremely difficult, but if you change to human rule, as long as you try to put a good heart on the criminal person to do bad things, then you can be considered innocent, and if you want to deal with a certain person, you can also put a bad heart on him to do good things, or bad intentions do bad things and do not succeed, and the good or bad hearts of the people depend on the mouth of the person who judges the case, but is he right?

I'm saying now that you're going to rebel.

Regardless of whether you rebel or not, whether there are weapons in the house or not, but I think you are already thinking about rebellion, so you must die, and the ministers also think that I am right, so do you deserve to die? ”

Qiao Mu laughed.

Directly poke at the weakness of the Spring and Autumn Prison.

The Spring and Autumn Prison Break looks really good, and it seems to be very in line with everyone's moral concepts, but when he mixes morality and law, and morality overrides the law, there is a problem.

The most important thing is that now all the power to interpret the scriptures and meanings is in the hands of Confucianism, which means that if the Spring and Autumn Prison Break is officially launched, the power to formulate the law will also be transferred to Confucianism.

When the time comes, the devil knows what they will distort the scriptures into in order to meet the emperor?

The literary prison of later generations, unnecessary, all are the remnants of the Spring and Autumn Prison Break, the subjective will of the superior has become an important basis for judging whether someone is guilty or not, I think you are guilty, I think you are satirizing me, I think your words, this poem has a bad impact, then you are guilty, you should be beheaded and exiled.

Dou Ying listened to Qiao Mu's words, he couldn't help but fall into thought, and after thinking silently for a long time, he had to admit that Qiao Mu's worries were right.

The original intention of the Spring and Autumn Prison Break was good.

However, when people's minds change, even if something good is distorted, it will become bad or evil.
