Six hundred and eighty-seventh chapter flat law (2)
After reading the entire "Ping Lv", Zhou Yafu gently closed the book, closed his eyes, and began to think.
In total, among the 127 laws and regulations in this "Ping Lv".
About one-third of the clauses further restrict and control merchants and their families.
It is quite in line with the voices and demands of the current public opinion and ideological circles.
However, many of the remaining clauses are very controversial.
However, it is just a controversy.
As the prime minister, Zhou Yafu is very aware of the ideological and political stances of the ministers and nobles currently in the Xuanshi Palace.
Take for example those clauses that provide preferential treatment and enhanced status for craftsmen.
"Exotic skills and obscene skills" have always been opposed by traditional scholar-bureaucrats and nobles.
A sentence in the Book of History, "King Zhou used strange and obscene techniques to please his women," almost puts craftsmen and technocrats in a separate category.
However, since the Warring States Period, rituals and music have collapsed, and countries have long gone to any lengths in order to survive and develop.
Not to mention uncanny skills, King Wuling of Zhao even played a game of riding and shooting in Hufu, and no one criticized it. On the contrary, it was highly praised in history books and considered to be a timely reform.
Until now, realist and pragmatist thinkers dominate both the government and the public.
As long as it is beneficial, it can bring about progress and development.
Not to mention fancy tricks, I'll show you the wine pool and meat forest too!
What's more, since the revival of Mohism, the trend of thinking among the people in Guanzhong that "wealth is first, wealth is second, that is, each of you can learn a skill to stand up for yourself" has spread instantly.
There were even direct descendants such as the princes and even the crown prince who became Mohist apprentices and mastered craftsmanship skills that had been despised and ignored in the past.
The Shaofu Ling Taohou Liu She even openly built a "Luban Garden" in Chang'an, specifically to accept civilian children to learn various carpentry and blacksmith skills.
No courtier or scholar dared to block the gate of Naluban Garden.
As for the Mohists who blatantly carried out various technical research and device inventions in Shanglin Garden, they directly received the full support of the top officials of the Han Dynasty, including the emperor.
The contemporary grandson of the Mohist family can enter and leave the Weiyang Palace at any time to meet the emperor.
In such a situation, even the Confucians who hate and despise craftsmen and technology the most can only pinch their noses and pretend they cannot see all this.
Now that the revival of Mohism has become a fact.
Then, it is foreseeable that the status of craftsmen will naturally be improved, and it will even become a respected profession like scholars and literati.
Under such a social situation and public opinion background, Zhou Yafu knew that no fool would dare to jump out, go against the trend of the times, go against the public opinion, and forcibly block these clauses.
There are probably only two or three things that the ministers can use to make things difficult and make fuss about it.
Zhou Yafu raised his head and looked at the ministers, Ling Ji An and Shangshu Cheng, who were standing beside the emperor and bowed their heads in reverence.
Zhou Yafu couldn't help but smile: "With the help of these two people, Your Majesty will naturally understand the bottom line and stance of Confucianism and Huang Laoxue..."
At this time, Jiuqing and the courtiers with more than two thousand stones had basically read all the terms.
Chao Cuo, the imperial censor, Zhao Yu, the court lieutenant, Liu She, the Shaofu, Zhou Zuoche, Zhijinwu Zhidu, and Dou Pengzu, the Taichang. Of course, even with their eyes closed, they all knew that they should raise their limbs to support.
As for Dahonglu Gongsun Kunxie and Zongzheng Liu Li, it was too late to kneel down and lick them, let alone object.
On the other hand, Da Nongzhi was a little bit impatient and wanted to jump out to make his presence felt.
However, Zhi Buyi looked at his colleague Sakon, weighed his own weight, and gave up.
Guard Lieutenant Li Guang is now thinking about how to escape Chang'an and return to the frontier fortress where war horses roar and warriors fight to realize the value of his life.
He simply has no intention or idea to interfere in the government affairs.
In the past few years of being an official in Chang'an, Li Guang finally understood that I was just a military general and was really not suitable for playing politics. I might be tricked into a trap by those old foxes one day.
On the contrary, Li Guang's brother Li Cai was eager to try and do something.
However, Li Cai's current status in the court is very low, and he does not even have the right to speak without permission.
Among the nine ministers, only General Dou Ying was confident and ambitious in wanting to leave his mark on this Shuo Wang court meeting.
After waiting for a while, Dou Ying discovered that Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and Imperial Censor Chao Cuo had no intention of standing up and saying anything.
Dou Ying decisively seized this opportunity, stood up first, went out to worship, and said: "Please inform your majesty if I am dead!"
Liu Che heard this and saw that it was Dou Ying. He frowned slightly and said, "I would like to hear what the general has to say!"
Liu Che was really scared of Dou Ying now.
This relative who was born with a golden key in his mouth is so naive that sometimes it makes people feel scary.
In his previous life, Liu Che's cheap dad once commented on Dou Ying: Wei Qi is a self-satisfied person who is easy to deal with, difficult to deal with, and cautious.
This means that Wei Qihou is just a spoiled child. His life is too smooth and he cannot be allowed to take on important responsibilities, let alone serve as prime minister, because he acts impetuously and cannot be prudent.
Tai Shigong also commented on him: Wei Qicheng did not understand the changes of the times.
Later, Dou Ying was tricked and killed by Tian Fu. The innocence, arrogance and mysterious self-confidence of Dou Ying's own character were largely responsible.
As for now?
After Wu Chu was pacified, Dou Ying began to expand.
What's even more troublesome is that the current Dou Ying has not even encountered the setbacks that Liu Che encountered in his previous life.
In addition, behind him, there are two extremely strong backers, Zhang Wu Hou Dou Guangguo and Empress Dowager Dou. No matter what troubles he makes or what mistakes he makes, there are people who will help him wipe his ass and smooth things over.
This made Dou Ying's expansion rate far faster than in his previous life.
What's even more troublesome is that Dou Ying loves Confucianism, and a large number of Confucian scholars and literati have moved closer to him.
Amid the adulation and flattery of the Confucian scholars, in the past year or two, Dou Ying has become somewhat unfamiliar to even Liu Che.
"Your Majesty, I have just read the laws and regulations in "Ping Lv". The laws and regulations drafted by Shangshu Ling, the imperial censors, the court officials and the young officials. In my opinion, they can be called the best..." Dou Ying
After sorting out his remarks, he played.
This is a necessary scene before the Han Dynasty ministers give their speeches. Unless you plan to completely break up with other colleagues, just like the confrontation between Yuan An and Chao Cuo in the past, otherwise, no matter how much you oppose and hate the opinions and suggestions of a certain minister,
, you also have to save enough face for the other party.
What's more, Dou Ying always prided himself on being elegant and called himself a gentleman.
Gentlemen break off friendship. Even if they don't say anything evil, let alone differences in political opinions.
However, this is just Dou Ying's own wishful thinking.
Seeing Dou Ying jumping out, Chao Cuo, the imperial censor, first showed his displeasure.
Chao Cuo was even thinking: What do you want?
Although this "Ping Lv" was not drafted by Chao Cuo, it was reviewed and approved by Chao Cuo.
If Dou Ying jumped out now, wouldn't he be slapping him, the imperial censor, in the face in front of all the ministers?
If what Dou Ying said is not recognized by the emperor and other colleagues, then so be it.
If what Dou Ying said were recognized, wouldn't it tell the world that he, Chao Cuo, Tingwei Zhao Yu, Shaofu Liu She, and Shangshu Ling Ji An. Shangshu Cheng Yanyi and their respective
A lot of subordinate officials are useless snacks. They can't even make laws, leaving huge loopholes?
Trampling on other people's bodies gives you a reputation, and those who gain reputation feel happy. But what do those who are stepped on think in their hearts?
What's more, from Chao Cuo's point of view, Dou Ying jumped out so bluntly, completely not giving face to himself as one of the three princes!
Otherwise, if Dou Ying can respect himself a little bit, if he has any opinions, he can go to court and communicate with himself, the imperial censor.
In addition, Dou Ying and Yuan An were very close to each other in the past, and even became close friends.
The combination of these old and new grudges made Chao Cuo's teeth chatter.
Ting Wei Zhao Yu and Shaofu Liu She are not good men and women.
They looked at Dou Ying. Although they did not react as strongly as Chao Cuo, they were also furious in their hearts.
Between the emperor and his ministers in the Han Dynasty, it was said that "the generals and prime ministers will not disgrace", and among the nine ministers, it was even more important to talk about "the generals and prime ministers will not be humiliated".
When it comes to matters specifically, among the nine ministers, no matter how much they disagree with each other's policies, as bosses in the department, they will not directly jump out to play against each other. They will just send a younger brother to come on and talk about the problem.
Only after the younger brother comes on the stage and expresses his attitude, and the other party sends a younger brother to refute it, can he, as the boss, make his debut.
But now Dou Ying has no air, and he doesn't send his younger brother, so he goes into battle naked.
He simply ignores the rules of the game and purely wants to make himself and others look bad.
It's not an exaggeration to say "arrogant" even if it's a little more above the line.
Ji An and Yan Yi, on the other hand, although they felt there were some problems, they had too little political experience and had not thought of this aspect.
Dou Ying completely ignored the cannibalistic looks in Chao Cuo, Zhao Yu, and Liu She's eyes. At this moment, he felt very good about himself. He even felt like he had gone back to that night a few years ago, when he advised the late Emperor and stopped the King of Liang.
The feeling of peeking into the storage space.
Of course, Dou Ying had no objection to the provisions that strengthened the social status of craftsmen and encouraged people to learn skills, and he did not dare to object.
The reason is simple.
Although traditionally, all schools of thought are very averse to strange and obscene techniques.
However, even Confucians who hate craftsmen and technology the most do not dare to put all craftsmen and technocrats into another category at this time to slander and discredit them.
Nowadays, when it comes to the status of technocrats and craftsmen, all schools of thought agree that Tao governs art.
Of course, when it comes to each school of thought, it means controlling the art according to its own way.
The Legalists talk about the "teaching of exerting the best of the earth", so they welcome all technologies and craftsmen that can enhance production and improve efficiency. But if you want to spend millions or even tens of millions of money and resources to build a microscope, see
If you look at the microscopic world, then the Legalists will come to punish you.
The Mohists advocate hard work and benefiting the world, regardless of the technology, as long as it is beneficial to the world and the people, they are very interested in it and like it very much. But if you want to spend countless resources and money just to build a luxurious garden, or
If you don't have an air conditioner, then the Mo family will definitely spit on your face and then walk away.
Huang Laoxue can be regarded as the most conservative in the field of technology and craftsmanship. What they advocate is to return to the simple era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period. Therefore, whether you want to build a steam engine or a time machine, as long as you do not break the law
, if it doesn’t violate public order and good customs, then they don’t want to take care of it and are unwilling to take care of it.
As for Confucianism, Confucius said, "Aspire to Dao, base on virtue, rely on benevolence, and wander in art." Judging from these words, Confucianism does not seem to discriminate against craftsmen and technology, but its requirements are somewhat high.
But then, the saying "a gentleman is about righteousness, and a villain is about profit" puts all the craftsmen and craftsmen who are trying to make a profit into a separate book of miraculous skills and ingenuity.
But after all, Confucians are not pure idealists.
When people live in this world, they need to be flexible.
Therefore, Confucianism has its own standards for identifying craftsmen and technologies, as well as whether they are miraculous or ingenious.
In general, even outside the Six Prefectures, there are all kinds of strange and obscene skills.
What are the six mansions? Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and grain.
That is, smelting, casting, carpentry, agriculture, farming, land reclamation, millet-related technologies and craftsmen.
Therefore, what Dou Ying wants to oppose are those clauses that are obviously intended to improve the social and political status of certain businessmen.
Dou Ying first organized his words, and then continued: "It's just that in my humble opinion, some clauses are not in line with the rule of the late king, let alone the rule of the late emperor. I hope your majesty will stop it!"
Before Liu Che could speak, Dou Ying felt very good about himself and continued: "For example, in the twenty-seventh order of Ping Lv, I hope that your majesty will give up his tens of millions of family donations so that he can join the government and write an order to discuss politics. That merchant,
That is to say, if you don't understand etiquette, let alone benevolence, how can you go in and out of government offices and write letters to discuss politics? From what I can see, if this continues, the Jia people will become arrogant and arrogant, and the local government can't control it, but the court can do nothing!"
Liu Che listened and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Are you the only one who is smart and everyone else is stupid and can't see the trick in this one????"
In fact, when this article was being drafted, both Chao Cuo and Yan Yi raised very strong objections.
However, Liu Che suppressed him alive by relying on his status as emperor.
The reason is simple. Liu Che needs this law to prepare for guiding and supporting the development of the bourgeoisie in the future.
Without this provision, the bosses of large smelting and manufacturing plants would have a lot of resources and money, as well as countless employees, but they would have no social status and no way to communicate with the top management.
What if they can't think about it and want to rebel?
Everyone in China knows that letting big capitalists and big business owners join the CPPCC and serve as representatives of the National People's Congress can appease these giants through bribery and wooing.
Especially now!
In Liu Che's plan, in the future, big capitalists and big business owners would be the Han government's biggest targets for wooing and buying.
Liu Che originally thought that as long as there was no strong objection from Jiu Qing, he would use the privilege of the emperor to force this article through. As long as there was no objection from Jiu Qing, no matter how happy the doctors were, Liu Che could tell the world shamelessly:
The laws and regulations of "Ping Lv" were unanimously supported by 99.9% of the ministers of the government and the public. When the news came out, the scholar-bureaucrats and ministers were full of joy, and Li Shu wholeheartedly supported the great, correct and glorious will of the emperor.
At that time, even if the doctor and the opposition scholars risk their lives and come out to oppose publicly, Liu Che can make him mentally ill and then tell others: This is the 0.1%.
What a wonderful and perfect script this is!
It's a pity that Dou Ying, a stupid young man, ruined it! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
