Now everyone no longer has an opinion, and this law is recorded.

The next thing is the point, the method of abolishing the death contract, which was proposed by Zhao Hanzhang, but for half a month, they discussed it several times, but they were stuck in feasibility.

Zhao Ming said: "If the law cannot be implemented, even if it is established, it is useless, it is better not to establish it." ”

Zu Ti has a different view, "No matter whether it can be done now, set the rules first, and then we work hard, we can't do it, and there are future generations." ”

Zhao Cheng said: "Just look at this method and it doesn't work." If the truth is understood, there will always be a day when it will be realized. ”

Fan Ying looked at him with blazing eyes and asked, "Does Zhao Xianjiu think it makes sense?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang set up Guozijian, in addition to Taixue, he also set up Guozixue, military science and medicine, so that Zhao Cheng became the Guozijian sacrificial wine, which is recognized as one of the most knowledgeable people at the moment.

Zhao Cheng nodded affirmatively: "Tong!" ”

Zhao Ming couldn't help but call him: "Zitu! ”

Ji Yuan teased: "Zitu, if this law passes, so many slaves and maids in your family will have to turn the death contract into a living contract." ”

Zhao Cheng said: "Although they are slaves, they are also human beings. People are inferior to each other by their status at birth, but these are imposed on people by the outside world, and everything in the world should be regarded as equals, and they should not be deprived of their rights as human beings. ”

Chen Siniang agreed: "Yes, the owner controls the slaves with a death contract, first, to save costs; The second is to deter them from betrayal, but whether it is a death contract or a living contract, there are provisions in the law that restrict the betrayal of slaves, and the death contract is just a convenient deterrent to the servants to do illegal rebellion. Removing the death deed will help the imperial court manage the population and reduce rebellions and illegal crimes. ”

Zhao Cheng nodded again and again, and they reached a consensus on this point.

Zhao Ming was silent, Zu Ti's eyes lit up, Ji Yuan and Ming were so shocked that they couldn't do it, they were frightened, He Xun was also surprised, but after a little thought, he asked: "I'm afraid that this law is going to subvert the power of the millennium, can Your Majesty agree?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang, who had been standing at the door and listening for a long time, walked in, and when the eight people saw her, they immediately got up and saluted, and they were all a little apprehensive in their hearts, I don't know how much she listened.

Only Chen Siniang and Fan Ying are the most comfortable, one of them has had an in-depth discussion with Zhao Hanzhang, and the other has been by her side for many years, both worshipping her and understanding her, so she is sure that she will not be angry.

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand to sit down, and said directly: "I have no opinion." ”

Zhao Ming couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, in this way, won't the world be rebellious?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "How can you rebel? The people will worship the righteous, loyal, and filial people, and everyone will walk in courtesy, keep their promises, and will not be ignorant of the law because they are the orders of the owner. ”

Zhao Ming said worriedly: "If there is no dignity, slaves do not listen to the orders of their masters, soldiers do not listen to the orders of the generals, officials do not listen to the orders of the officials, and all the people in the world do not listen to Your Majesty's words, what has become of this country?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "Seeking his own government in his position, eating his Lu and being loyal to his affairs, this is professional ethics, people in the world should be loyal, and I am no different." ”

"If I am supported by the people, I must manage the country well, this is my professional ethics, it is my duty for soldiers to obey military orders, and it is also their duty for officials to obey the orders of their superiors. If a soldier knows that the general is going to commit treason and is ordered to leave his homeland, can't he resist? Isn't loyalty to the country greater than loyalty to the individual? In the same way, if an official knows that the official has done something dangerous to the common people, can't he be impeached? ”

Zhao Ming hurriedly said: "Naturally, loyalty to the country is more than loyalty, and the great righteousness is more than the small righteousness." ”

"Then why is it not good to be a slave to the master?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "Because the master has mastered the death contract of the slave, the slave is a livestock that can be manipulated in their hands, not a human being, so the first two can express loyalty at a higher level, and the slave is also ridiculed even if it is for the sake of righteousness and against the master, in the final analysis, it is just because they are not 'human' in the law." Zhao Hanzhang said: "In this case, we should give him the qualification of 'human', they are natural persons like us." ”

Zhao Ming opened his mouth, unable to say anything against it.

Ji Yuan burst into tears, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Ming Yu also immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Both of them were staff members, and before following Zhao Changyu \ Gou Xi, they had a particularly difficult time, in order to get ahead, they both had the idea of selling themselves, but they forcibly suppressed it.

So they are the most able to understand the helplessness and sadness of the slaves.

Cheng Bo is a slave, Zhao Hu can ask him to be buried in the next room, Ming Yu is a staff member, and it was just a matter of one sentence for Gou Xi to kill him back then.

Wasn't Yan Heng killed by a random reason?

Zhao Hanzhang helped the two of them up, returned to the topic, and asked, "How many articles of the fundamental law I handed over to you, how many articles have you discussed?" ”

"Eighteen articles have been agreed upon."

For example, "all the land in the world belongs to the state, and the people only have the right to use it, but not the right to buy and sell" was easily passed, because there was a precedent.

The Wei and Jin dynasties all implemented the policy of Juntian, regardless of whether it could be implemented or not, anyway, it was recorded in the law, so it was not difficult to pass.

In fact, the fundamental law that Zhao Hanzhang handed them to discuss was secretly discussed by Ji Yuan and them, and in the end, most of them would become a dead letter, and it was unlikely that it could be implemented.

Nevertheless, they discussed it seriously.

Zhao Hanzhang asked, "Which article is discussed now?" ”

Fan Ying said: "All beings in the world are equal, and men and women are equal. ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked them, "What's wrong with this one?" ”

Fan Ying said: "The second half of the sentence is fine, but all beings are equal, Zhao Shangshu and they don't agree." ”

Zhao Ming: ...... There are so many people who disagree, why only mention his name? And he does not disagree with this, but because, "This article is not good for the country, not good for the royal family, and not good for implementation." ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said, "Uncle Ming, the words about the equality of all beings are clearly mentioned by you and your uncle and grandfather, why did you turn your head and deny it?" ”

Zhao Ming: "I didn't deny it, Your Majesty doesn't have to misinterpret me, there is respect and humility in order to be conducive to rule, you can only remember the second half of the sentence, men and women in the world are equal, why do you have to remember that all beings are equal?" Aren't you afraid that one day a prince will come out, and Xiang Ning will have a kind of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? ”

"When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang appeared, either someone had ambitions and sowed discord and rebellion; Either the emperor is unkind to the government, and all the people in the world are like being in the middle of fire and water. Zhao Hanzhang said: "If it is the former, the rebellious person will not last long, and there is no need to be afraid, if it is the latter, all the people in the world and an emperor, naturally all the people in the world are more important, an emperor, if it is abolished, it will be abolished." ”

Zhao Cheng: "...... That's His Majesty's descendants. ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "I don't know how many layers I have, and I have no feelings for a long time." In addition to blood relationship, the relationship in this world must also be maintained by the exchange of courtesies. If he had filial piety and knew how to respect the virtues of my ancestors, he would naturally not be a faint king; If he becomes a faint king, it can be seen that he does not respect my ancestor, nor does he agree with the virtue of my ancestor, so unfilial, what else do you want him to do? ”

Six of the eight people sitting were dumbfounded, Chen Siniang nodded with admiration and approval, and Fan Ying was even more star-eyed, and a pair of eyes were glued to Zhao Hanzhang.

Like an invisible person, Lang Wanghao's eyes lit up like an invisible man, and then he wrote straight.

Looking at his emotionless drawing, Wang Hao was quite sorry, what should he do, he wants to write a wild history, no, he must not write, at least not in his name, and he can't let people know that he wrote it, so he has to change his left hand, otherwise if people know that the wild history was written by him, the authenticity of these historical materials recorded by him may also be doubted in the future.

Woo woo, he's too difficult, but fortunately, it's not a big problem, he will write each other with his left and right hands, but how to deal with it after writing the wild history?

When these words came out, Zhao Cheng instantly understood what she meant, compared to the long-term of the dynasty, she cared more about the people.

Originally, I had accumulated a stomach of persuasion to tell her in private, but I dispelled it at this time.

Taking advantage of Zhao Hanzhang's hereness, they took out the fundamental law that had not yet been agreed, and Zhao Hanzhang himself only mentioned twenty-five articles, and they added some more one after another, and now it is enough for thirty-eight articles.

Ji Yuan asked: "There is no problem that salt and iron are under the jurisdiction of the state, what are the other minerals that Your Majesty said, do you want to be more detailed?" ”

This conversation talked about the setting sun, and Lai Qing came over and cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early." ”

Zhao Hanzhang found out that it was too early to go to the next office, so she smiled and said: "Let's get here today, you will be detailed and tidy later, the time is not early, maybe you Aiqing still have an appointment." ”

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Zhao Ming, "Today, the fifth uncle is having dinner in the palace, and Uncle Ming and Uncle Cheng will also stay and eat together." ”

Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming bowed down, and Zhao Cheng followed.

When he walked to the harem, Zhao Hanzhang asked Zhao Ming: "Uncle Ming seems to have something to say to me before." ”

"Originally, there was, but then there was no more," Zhao Ming paused, and still couldn't help but say: "In Your Majesty's heart, is it the people who are important, or the dynasty that is important for thousands of generations?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "Uncle Ming may not believe it, I think if a dynasty can ensure the interests of the majority of the people, the dynasty can continue." ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked him, "Why did the Han Dynasty fall?" ”

Zhao Ming: "Because of the eunuch's dictatorship, traitors are in charge." ”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and shook his head, "Yes, yes, you guys, you are used to putting your eyes on it, you can only see the chaos on the top of a high-rise building, but you don't see that the base of the high-rise building has long been bent, just add another straw to the high-rise building, you can make it fall from the bottom and collapse in an instant." ”

"The dictatorship of eunuchs is only one of the small reasons, the most important thing is that the bureaucrats collude with each other, and the Han Dynasty re-examines the system, and the powerful and powerful thus allied with each other and monopolized the system of electing officials. Zhao Hanzhang said: "They united with each other to pass on the taxes they should pay to the ordinary people, and the commoners worked hard for a year, and found that they couldn't even support themselves, and they still owed taxes to the court, so they had no choice but to abandon the land and leave, and became a homeless person." ”

"The land they gave up was occupied by the powerful and turned into their own by various means, and then in turn they bought the displaced people as slaves, or directly collected the displaced people to cultivate these lands for hidden households," Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "The state can't collect the Ding tax of these people, and the field tax, they concocted it in the same way, and passed it on to others again...... In the end, the vast majority of civilians lost their land, and seventy percent of the world's land was concentrated in the hands of less than one adult. ”

"Less than 10 percent of the people control the vast majority of the country's property, but the state can't collect taxes, can't raise soldiers and horses, officials, and doesn't ask for money from these people who control the state finances, but in turn persecutes the people who are barely alive.

Zhao Cheng's eyes were slightly wet, and he choked up: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion killed so many people, and now you actually say that it is not the anti-thieves who are causing chaos, but the Son of Heaven forcing the people to rebel?" ”

Zhao Ming figured it out instantly, he nodded to Zhao Hanzhang and said, "I understand." ”

They have to look not only at the top, but also down, to see the most ordinary and suffering people.

Zhao Ming muttered: "The people are the foundation......

"The people are the foundation......," Zhao Cheng also muttered, "I have always thought so, although the emperors of the past dynasties recognized Confucianism, they were only willing to read the Analects and the Mean, read the commentaries of Dong Zhongshu, and did not want to respect Mencius and Xunzi ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Cheng's eyes sparkled, and he grabbed Zhao Hanzhang's sleeve, "Hanzhang, do you think human nature is inherently good, or is human nature inherently evil?" ”

When Zhao Ming saw it, he hurriedly pulled his hand and said in a low voice: "Presumptuous, this is Your Majesty!" ”

Is it still the same as before?

Zhao Hanzhang didn't mind, and after being silent for a while, he said: "If I say that human nature is evil, will Uncle Cheng give me a fist?" ”

Who knew that Zhao Cheng laughed out loud and said: "Yes, yes, human nature is inherently evil, otherwise, why would the evil of human nature burst out after facing a desperate situation?" ”

"It is precisely because human nature is inherently evil that we must educate with morality, restrain with law, and turn sexual evil into sexual goodness, which is the foundation of reading and the foundation of moral rule."

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Ming, "Uncle Ming, where did you get Uncle Cheng back, where has he been for the past six months?" I remember that he used to think that human nature is inherently good. ”

Zhao Ming saw that she didn't mind Zhao Cheng's rudeness at all, so he said coldly: "People are changeable, day and night can change, let alone half a year?" ”

Zhao Ming slapped Zhao Cheng's hand away and reprimanded: "Be honest, if you have something to say, just say it well, Hugh will pull Your Majesty again." ”

Zhao Hanzhang saw that Zhao Cheng lowered his head and was completely immersed in his own world, and his mind didn't know where to go, so he said to Zhao Ming: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind." ”

You can hear it when you listen to my self-professed claims.

Zhao Hanzhang led them back to the harem for dinner, and along the way, in order to take care of Zhao Cheng, who was immersed in his own world, he deliberately slowed down, and talked about half of the open source of the treasury this year along the way.

The Wang family lives in the Xuanguang Hall of the harem, and the Deyang Hall is past Yongxiang, oh, now Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan are both living in the Deyang Palace.

Before entering the palace gate, he heard Zhao Hu's boastful voice, "This Vermilion Bird Rank Ring Tiger Jade Statue was bought by me for 800,000 yuan, and its value should be no less than 10 million." ”

Zhao Hanzhang stumbled, almost mixing his left foot with his right foot, and suddenly heard his father's voice, and Zhao Cheng also came out of his spiritual world suddenly.

Two chapters into one, see you tomorrow
