The relationship between Confucianism and Legalism is quite delicate and sensitive.

Although it is said that after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism achieved a comprehensive victory, Legalism gradually declined, and the Confucian scholars also continued to promote the Spring and Autumn Prison Break, trying to completely replace the law with Confucian principles, and also made some achievements-

But after all, the Han law still exists.

And with the passage of time, with the improvement of Han law, a considerable number of contemporary Confucian scholars also believe that the Spring and Autumn Prison Break has great limitations.

There are too many ways to interpret the Confucian classics, and a relatively fixed standard of judgment should be needed to punish the offender, rather than stubbornly using the principles of the ancients to limit the present people, or even replace the role of the law.

To put it simply, there are also some people within Confucianism who oppose the Spring and Autumn Prison Break, believing that it is inappropriate.

The representative of this group of Confucian scholars is Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan annotated the modern and ancient classics at the same time, as well as the Han law, and had a very profound study of the Han law, and also put forward a lot of views on the contemporary Han law, which had a great influence among his disciples.

Zheng Xuan thinks that the development of Han law has been relatively perfect so far and can be put into use, and it is a bit unrealistic to use the Spring and Autumn Period if there is no need for professional laws.

It is also because of these deeper reasons that although the ancient literature school hopes to promote the reading of the Zheng family, Zheng Xuan has never agreed, and vigorously supports Liu Bei's views at the internal meeting of the ancient literature school.

He even went so far as to put forward some views on the Spring and Autumn Prison Break.

As a senior scholar, as well as the first leader of the ancient literature school, and the current Taixue sacrificial wine, Zheng Xuan's influence is still very great, and Zheng Xuan's statement has attracted the attention of many conservative Confucian scholars.

At the same time, they thought that Liu Bei, as the master of the "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period", proposed the establishment of a law school, which was not very appropriate in itself.

Because it is related to the status and influence of the Zuo Clan's Spring and Autumn Period, the final decision-maker of this matter is not the State Council of the Four Auxiliary Ministers, but the Valve Reading Family of the Seven Zuo Clan's Spring and Autumn Period.

Henan Kaifeng Zheng, Cangwu Guangxin Chen, Fufeng Pingling Jia, Fufeng Maoling Ma, Fufeng Maoling Kong, Zhuo County Lu Shi, Zhuo County Liu Shi.

Chen's influence was relatively small, and the head of the family was sick, so he did not come to the meeting.

As a result, only six family representatives participated in the debate, among them, Liu Bei, Lu Zhi, and Ma Riyan, the representative of the Fufeng Maoling Ma clan, were supportive, while the other three families were opposed, firmly believing that it was inappropriate to set up a law school.

They should have worked harder to push for the Spring and Autumn Prison Breakdown, rather than to elevate the status of Han Law.

In this matter, the two sides were tied 3-3.

However, because Zheng Xuan always supported Liu Bei's opinions, and vigorously advocated at the meeting to return Han Lu to its original position, rather than letting the Spring and Autumn Yue Yue take his place, plus Liu Bei, Lu Zhi and Ma Riyan all had relatively large positions and powers, so out of various considerations, the three opposing families were forced to agree with Liu Bei's proposal.

Slap yourself in the face, weaken your own power, what way?

They couldn't understand why Liu Bei did this, was it really as he said, purely for the sake of the Han Dynasty?

Is there really such a person in the world?

The establishment of the Juristic Academy was finally confirmed.

According to the regulations, the imperial court allocated funds to build a law and law school in the location of the former general affairs department outside the city of Luoyang, and soon to start recruiting students to train the first batch of professional county soldiers for the country, and put it into use as soon as possible to make it effective.

Later, in terms of recruiting candidates, Liu Bei believed that it could be open to major state schools, Taixue and the military.

The students cultivated in the state school and the Taixue are all based on basic knowledge, but because there are many monks and few porridges, one radish and one pit, the people who cannot get a position still occupy the majority.

If these people can't get a position through normal channels, it is better to sign up for a law school, study law, become a county soldier, and then move up the ranks in the Zhongshutai system to become a professional member, which is also a good choice.

This is 200,000 jobs, although it is not achieved overnight, but this big pool can absorb many outstanding talents, and it can be regarded as providing another way for young people in Dahan.

And the reason for opening up to the army is also very simple, the county soldiers, the county soldiers, in the end, bring a "soldier", although it is professional, but when it is time to do it, it is also necessary to do it.

In the face of extremely vicious bandits, if they want to be brought to justice, first of all, the county soldiers must have the ability to "ambush".

What is "volt"?

Just him!

It's force!

Liu Bei's army soldiers all have to receive basic education, and they are still very good in terms of reading and writing skills, everyone can read and write, and there are excellent military skills, as long as they work hard for a year or two and pass the exam, they are excellent candidates for the county soldiers.

And to be honest, the establishment of the Law School and the establishment of the Zhongshutai are also giving the army one more way out.

Because these soldiers are very good soldiers, with basic education and the ability to read and write, they are absolutely knowledgeable in this era, and they have enough knowledge to be able to act as officials.

According to the current life expectancy, Liu Bei's service time in the army is from 20 to 35 years old, and as long as he has been in the army for five years, he can choose to leave the army or continue to stay in the army until the age of 35.

This age is not set because Liu Bei is a murderous capitalist, but because the average life expectancy of Han people in these years is almost this number, and the average person can live to be forty years old, not much.

Judging from Liu Bei's previous life experience, of course, the ruling class does not need to say much, but it is not easy for one or two ordinary farmers to live to be over forty years old.

And after the age of thirty-five, the probability of being able to be a grandparent increases year by year, and if it is about forty years old, ordinary people can be grandparents, and it is really inhumane to let a group of children's grandfathers continue to fight in the army.

And what if people also have the idea of going home and hugging their grandchildren?

Now is not a chaotic era of cannibalism, so that the unlucky strong men [fifteen from the army, eighty years to return], after comprehensive consideration, Liu Bei set an age limit of thirty-five years.

Soldiers who are still in the army after the age of thirty-five and have not been promoted to a command position can choose between two options for leaving the army.

One is to take a large sum of money home to live for the elderly at one time, and the amount is very rich, which is basically allocated according to the fifteen years of living after being discharged from the army.

The other is to take a sum of money home every year to live for the elderly, not all at once, and you can get it when you live.

If you are not very confident in your financial management ability or spending level, you can choose this kind of person, at least in the entire Han Dynasty, those who dare to rob or defraud the property of the Central Han Army should not be born yet.

Of course, no matter which way you choose, if you have special difficulties, you can also apply for special subsidies from the military.

In order to ensure the well-being of retired veterans in their later years, Liu Bei set up a special difficulty soldier assistance office in the army, which set some standards specifically for the special difficulties of retired soldiers, and the army will help if the standards are met.

In order to demonstrate the benevolence of the Han army, it also allows the active soldiers to fight for the Han more bravely and achieve the effect of inspiring morale.

However, with Liu Bei's preferential treatment of soldiers and sufficient food and medical security, these soldiers lived to be thirty-five years old, and they were actually in good health, and they could not be regarded as old people at all, and their indicators were not bad in all aspects.

Therefore, they will naturally not go home and lie down to retire so simply, and there are not a few people who have the idea of continuing to work hard after years of hard work.
