Chapter 293: Warning "The purpose and the means are the last," Liu Ji muttered in a low voice, his eyes brightened and darkened, darkened and brightened again, but finally he couldn't hold on anymore, and he lay down on the table with a "bang" and fell asleep completely.
It was also the first time for Zhang Yi, Song Ke, Luo Ben, Shi Naian and others to hear Zhu Chongjiu explain his thoughts in such detail.
Apart from being shocked, their eyes were filled with confusion.
Don't blame them for their poor understanding.
The key point is that China has always paid attention to ancestral rules since ancient times.
Usually the first generation who founded a country set the general framework, and the successors of later generations, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, followed.
Major changes rarely occur, and those who change the law usually do not end well.
But today, Zhu Chongjiu said personally that he had no intention of clinging to a fixed strategy.
In other words, the current chaos in the Huaiyang area is, to a certain extent, the result of the deliberate connivance of the lord Zhu Chongjiu.
And it seems that Zhu Chongjiu still wants to continue to let things go, and does not want to establish any ancestral laws that will never be changed for future generations.
"My lord, my lord, at least, at least come up with the simplest charter.
Even if it is revised later after the founding of the country, it is still better than no charter at all."
After all, it was Zhu Chongjiu's father-in-law who was stunned for a long enough time.
Later, Lu Kun plucked up the courage again and persuaded in a low voice.
"Lu, what Chief Lu said makes sense.
Even when Emperor Gaozu entered the customs in the past, there were three chapters of the agreement."
Zhang Yi thought for a moment, then turned pale, and followed Lu Kun in a low voice.
Now he really did not dare to ask Zhu Chongjiu to adopt Song Confucianism as a strategy for governing the country.
Instead, he retreated to the final bottom line.
Even if it is a three-chapter contract like Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, you must have a general outline.
Otherwise, people like them who are accustomed to following a fixed order will really be at a loss.
"Then first take the three chapters of Emperor Gaozu's covenant and use them."
Zhu Chongjiu simply gave the answer without thinking, "Add another one, the four people are equal, and no one has the privilege to be above the law.
As for the other Rules, let’s discuss them based on these four general principles and our own actual situation.
Zhu, it doesn’t matter whether you are Confucian, Legalist, Taoist, or even Mingjiao or Daoist.
As long as the cannibalistic things are effective and can really help us move forward in the three regions of Huaiyang, we can borrow them for use.
As for what will happen after the founding of the country, I believe that you will have already figured out some experience by then, and we will summarize them all.
To sum up a national law based on people’s experience, please don’t mention Zhu’s words again because he only looks at the effect and doesn’t ask about the source.”
"What if the new law is still inappropriate?"
Song Ke's thinking was active and he was very interested in Zhu Chongjiu's "ends and means" theory just now, so he lost no time in asking.
"Then continue to change the law.
As long as the National People's Congress and more than 70% of the country's ministers agree with the amendment, the law can be changed.
But each amendment shall not exceed 10% of the entire law.
Just change it like this and keep changing it.
Make it better and better” "Wouldn't the world be in chaos if we continue to reform?"
This was the first time that everyone heard such an "irresponsible" statement, and their eyes widened. , "It may not necessarily be one-tenth."
Zhu Chongjiu quickly realized that the impact of his statement was too great.
After thinking about it, he slowed down and added, "It can be less, but it must not exceed one-tenth at most.
Each revision After that, no further revisions are allowed within five years.
Let the country and the people have an adaptation period before verifying the quality of the new revisions.
If it works, continue to use it.
If it doesn't work, find a way to abolish it.
No one should be embarrassed and insist on it, let alone think about the ancestral law and the hard-won things.
We can't do everything for our children and grandchildren. , We must believe that they are smarter than us and know better than us.
Otherwise, it will be like a rat in a weasel's den, and one generation will become worse than the next."

"Hahahaha" everyone was amused by Zhu Chongjiu's metaphor.
After laughing, my heart felt much brighter.
Without excluding anyone, Confucianism still has great hope for revival.
Not refusing to adjust means that the ideas of any school have a chance to become the way to govern the country.
It's just that all concepts need to be adjusted to include some new content to adapt to the emerging industries and new changes in Huaiyang.
This made most of the people here instantly regain some confidence, and they imagined with great ambition how they could inherit the sage's unique skills, embrace all rivers, and become a new generation of masters after Dong Sheng and Zhu Xi.
"Zhu can tell you honestly that what you and Zhu are doing now will benefit generations to come."
It was rare for Zhu Chongjiu to say so many pragmatic words at once.
After pouring out his heart, his mood was a little agitated.
With some drunkenness, he announced loudly, "Some of you have already seen those workshops in Jiangwan, and some of you haven't had time to see them yet.
But at least you should feel that at the moment, Huai'an and Yangzhou , the way people make a living has changed, and it is still changing.
Therefore, Zhu called it, once this change takes shape, the industrial revolution. , Zhu can guarantee that no one in the world can stop us.
By then, what I, Huaiyang, will have will not only be cannons, muskets, armor and sharp knives, but also victory in all aspects.
The old order must either adapt to it or be destroyed by it.
There is no third way to choose.
Come on, gentlemen, let us work together to create a prosperous era."
"Drink Sheng" Luo Ben and Lu Kun took the lead in raising their wine cups and echoed loudly.
"Yinsheng" Shi Naian seemed to understand but followed without hesitation.
Even though he was over sixty years old and had to possess the green dragon's tail, he had nothing to hesitate about.
Even if everything he asked for turned out to be a dream, at least he had lived a vigorous life and not lived it in vain.
"Yin Sheng" "Yin Sheng" Zhang Yi and Song Ke didn't understand it at all, but they also strongly felt Zhu Chongjiu's inner confidence and responded with wine cups.
Anyway, the people are here and the pirate ship is already on board, so there is no reason to retreat.
Moreover, given the current situation in Huaiyang, what General Manager Zhu said may not be unreasonable.
The atmosphere in the room was immediately pushed to a climax.
Everyone, you have a cup, I have a cup, and I drink happily.
As for the intoxicated Liu Ji, he was completely ignored and turned into a decoration.
Since the Industrial Revolution was mentioned, Zhu Chongjiu could not just mention a new term.
It is necessary to use some alcohol to pour out the superficial concepts about the industrial revolution in one's belly.
Although it is extremely fragmented and many things are specious, for people such as Lu Kun, Luo Ben and Shi Naian who have witnessed hydraulic production and primitive assembly line operations, it is tantamount to opening a window in front of their eyes.
It made them increasingly believe that they had entered a whole new world, leaving other scholars of the same generation far behind.
Although Zhang Yi and Song Ke were confused, they discovered through Zhu Chongjiu's drunken description that what the latter was doing was not without any rules as he said.
Rather, it follows a very profound concept, which is as complicated and profound as any other among the hundreds of schools of thought.
And unlike other schools of thought, this concept is completely based on reality.
Everything can correspond to things in the current real world, rather than based on the famous sayings of ancient sages and sages, and the imagination of the prosperous times of the three generations.
It wasn't until nightfall that everyone finally dispersed after enjoying themselves.
Liu Bowen was supported by the guards and sent into Robben's mansion.
Zhang Yi and Song Ke returned to Jixian Hall on their own.
Thinking about what they heard during the banquet, the two of them tossed and turned, unable to sleep well all night.
For a while, I dreamed that I had become a sinner for the ages, being spurned by my former friends and classmates, and being criticized verbally and writingly.
The next moment, he dreamed that he was being transformed into a statue and being worshiped by tens of thousands of students.
When they woke up the next morning, they both had dark circles under their eyes.
After having breakfast reluctantly, they sat in their respective rooms, waiting uneasily for Zhu Chongjiu to send someone to pick them up.
At about 4 o'clock in the morning, the carriage finally arrived, accompanied by Luo Ben, the prefect of Yangzhou, and Xu Hongsan, the commander of the guards of the Grand Governor's Palace, which surprised them both.
"Mr.
Lu, General Xu, how can we be so virtuous as to dare to bother you two to come and pick them up in person?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I'm going to kill you.
I'm going to kill you."
Zhang Yi and Song Ke immediately walked out the door and apologized.
"You two adults, you're welcome."
Robben stepped back half a step and returned the courtesy with a smile, "Originally, the General Manager wanted to come in person, but the Chinese Martial Arts Hall started school today, and the General Manager, Director Lu and the family teacher Everyone has to be there today.
Lu took the two of them to report to the General Manager's Mansion first, and received the suitcase, robes and the courtyard where they lived.
Then they went to look around to get familiar with the situation of all levels of departments in Huaiyang area, so that they can do it in the future.
When things happen, you won’t have a black eye.”
"Commander of the bodyguards, Xu Hongsan, was ordered by the general manager to protect the two adults."
Xu Hongsan responded loudly with a military salute.
"Xu will take you two to the Guards Regiment to select the future personal soldiers of the two adults in a moment.
Each person can choose four personal soldiers, who will be responsible for protecting the two adults in turn.
The servants, cooks and As for the young man, please go to Yahang to hire him after you two have settled down.
You can sign the contract first and then report it to the General Manager’s Office.”
"Why do we still need to make a contract when we have a contract to buy a few servants?"
After hearing this, the two of them were slightly startled and asked with wide eyes.
"This is a rule that the General Administration made not long ago with reference to the Song Dynasty.
No one, not even biological parents, can be bought or sold.
Every family needs help, and at most they hire from Yahang.
And they have to sign a specific employment period, work Scope and salary.
Once the term is up, either the two parties will negotiate to renew, or they will break up.
"No one can make things difficult for anyone," Robben explained with a bit of pride.
This is an old rule that existed in the Song Dynasty.
According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, even concubines, if they were originally from good families, could only be hired and could not be bought or sold.
Of course, criminals recognized by the government and with low status are not protected by this law.
After Yashan, the Mongols regarded all conquered people as fourth-class slaves, and naturally this rule was completely forgotten.
Zhu Chongjiu was afraid that after the catastrophe, some cunning people would take advantage of the opportunity to make a living in human trafficking, so a few days after the Huai'an army captured Yangzhou, he discussed with Lu Zeng again, picked up this rule, and promoted it more than ten times.
Announced the complete abolition of base status, and even the children of prisoners were not allowed to be sold as slaves.
The private slaves of wealthy families were all converted into long-term hired workers.
The specific time and salary are subject to negotiation by both parties.
If those who still do not comply with the notice two months after it is posted, they will be deemed to be dissatisfied and punished.
"No wonder so many scholars outside are criticizing Yangzhou," Zhang Yi and Song Ke looked at each other and thought to themselves.
This is equivalent to directly robbing a large amount of property from a wealthy family.
Some village owners and castle owners who relied entirely on their slaves to farm the land even lost tens of thousands of dollars.
Apart from fleeing Huaiyang or rising up to confront the Huai'an army with force, there was almost no third option.
"The governor said that it is a crime for the Mongols to enslave the Han people, and it is also a crime for the Han people to enslave the Han people.
He will not lead everyone to drive away the Mongols, and then let the Han people ride on their own heads.
Otherwise, since everyone is being slaves, why not Whoever thinks they are not the same, why bother to rebel against the Mongols?"
Seeing Zhang Yi and Song Ke's puzzled faces, Luo Ben thought for a while and added boldly.
"Since we are slaves, it doesn't matter who we are as slaves."
Zhang Yi and Song Ke looked at each other again, and the confusion on their faces instantly turned into shock.
This is something they have never heard of before.
Calling a slave or a maid is the most common thing in this era.
Given their family backgrounds, it was unusual for them not to have many maids and servants to serve them.
And we are also used to treating the maids and servants as beings inferior to ourselves.

We have never regarded the other party as our own kind, and we have never thought about it from the other party's perspective.
But today, when I first heard Robben's words, I suddenly felt that everything in the past had become fragmented, and the ground beneath my feet began to shake vaguely.
"Of course.
Anyway, they are scolded and scolded, and they are killed and robbed at will.
What's so strange about this?"
Robben took over the conversation with a smile and continued to add loudly, "Have you forgotten what my lord said last night?
The so-called industrial revolution is not just Replace manpower with machines.
Instead, we must completely break the original relationship of personal dependence, so that everyone can become a free and independent individual, and no one will be stepped on.
Such a world has never been seen before, and he wants to lead everyone to create such a world. era" In an era of roaring machines and an era without slaves, Robben was lucky enough to stand side by side and personally open the curtain of the entire era.
Is there anything more meaningful than this?
Is there anything more exciting than this?
Luo Ben only needs to accomplish this one thing in his life, and that is enough.
All pale in comparison.
Note 1: The Song Dynasty implemented both the good and bad system and the employment system, which was a huge improvement compared to any previous dynasty.
But after the Song Dynasty, the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties experienced a sharp setback.
Especially in our Qing Dynasty, everyone in the world is the slaves of the emperor, which is darker than any dynasty since the Qin Dynasty
