The 226th section big stick (1)
At this moment, the powerful landlords were immersed in the huge water conservancy project plan announced by Zhang Yue.
This pancake is too big.
It is big enough to make everyone eat a lot of money.
only……
Many people looked at each other at the moment of awakening, and then took a few steps back with special understanding.
Especially those families whose canine teeth depend on each other and whose interests are intertwined.
At this moment, sparks erupted in my eyes.
Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts.
Therefore, Yan Zi can kill three soldiers with two peaches.
Now, facing the biggest favorable policies and preferential policies in Xinfeng County’s history.
Everyone hopes that they can eat more, while others, especially their direct competitors in the local area, eat less.
In this way, the family may take this opportunity to overtake, get rid of the competitor, and even overtake it from now on.
Chang Sheng licked his lips. At this moment, almost all his mind was about something his nephew Chang Wen had reported to him. The Shizhong led the Xinfeng Order Zhang Zizhong, hoping that he could take the lead in reporting the illegality of Liu Ting Yang.
Chang Sheng didn't listen to it at first.
Reporting the village party is a taboo thing.
At the beginning, Yang Kedao reported to each other, local neighbors reported to each other, and township parties reported to each other, which had a very bad impact.
This also made the landlords and powerful people all over the world become cautious.
Generally speaking, even if the two families fight to the death and are incompatible with each other, they will not easily resort to the government and cause trouble to the government office.
Because the lessons of the sacred man made people know.
If you report others, others will report you too.
In the end, they die together.
The great head and wealth of a family will all land and be divided by the mud legs.
But now, Chang Sheng's heart was pounding and pounding.
He held his eyes and looked at Yang Fei, the head of the Yang family beside him. It happened that Yang Fei was also looking at him with a dim look.
Chang Sheng knew very well what the Yang family had done.
This family became developed in Liuting by lending.
Every year when the weather is inconsistent, it is Yang's favorite season.
They lend large amounts of corn to civilians.
Nine out and thirteen return is already the price of conscience and the price of relatives and friends.
Yang's interest rate is profit and profit.
It’s not enough to pay it for a month, and by next month, a dou of rice can turn into a stone!
The Yang family has only risen for twenty years, and the household registration of the people in Liuting has changed from more than 170 households at its peak to only 100 households now.
Where did these families that disappeared go? No matter how hard they think about it.
If Yang only relied on lending, the accumulation of wealth would undoubtedly be impossible so quickly.
The true secret of the Yang family to get rich is to collude with officials and seize the opportunity.
The methods are simple and effective in autumn and winter every year, and do not recruit food, and force the people to sell food that they have worked hard to harvest in order to survive.
And when the price of straw is high in spring and summer next year, the price of straw is urged to charge.
It forced the people to buy the scribble they sold to the Yang family at a low price last winter.
With this turn, the profit will be doubled.
Some farmers are smarter and try to keep the straw until the spring and summer of the next year.
Yang's approach was rough and simply sent a few rangers to set fire to the place where the family stored the stools.
As Changsheng knew, just last year, there was a family in Liuting. Because the woodshed storm was burned in the middle of the night, it was not discovered, and the fire burned all the house. Only one of the five members of the family had to live!
After learning that the Yang family ordered the fire, this person came to Xinfeng's official office to sue. As a result, he was beaten to death by two rangers on the way and threw the body into the forest.
To be honest, Chang Sheng looked down on these despicable methods used by the Yang family.
He even despised the despicable methods used by the Yang family.
In Chang Sheng's view, Yang's actions were not beneficial except to make the people "accumulate resentment in their hearts".
If a cruel official comes, the Yang family is the best target.
Maybe he will also have to implicate a "good family" like himself who has always been Qingming and is quite friendly to the villagers.
Originally, although the Chang and Yang families had some conflicts, they also had a lot of dirty things to each other.
But, everyone is a squire.
Both of them know each other's foundation and have some of their handles.
If you throw a rat and avoid being afraid of weapons, Changsheng will not dare to act rashly.
However, now...
Looking at the passage of the cloth in front of him, Chang Sheng took a deep breath.
One of the four channels will pass through the land between his family and the Yang family.
In other words, if the Yang family fell.
The benefit of this channel is that he, Chang, possesses.
The Chang family has seven or eight hundred acres of land in the local area, plus the hundreds of acres of the Yang family, which together form a fertile land of 1,500 acres.
If the channels are opened, the value of these lands themselves will suddenly increase several times.
What's more, there are more benefits of taxes and labor service.
This benefit is so great that even Changsheng is difficult to control!
But, there are still concerns.
After all, there is a lesson from Yang Keshuo.
Chang Sheng was not sure that he could protect himself.
It’s not just Chang Sheng’s inner tangle.
Almost all the powerful landlords, literati and nobles are now caught in their hearts like cats.
They want to take all the benefits themselves, but they are also afraid, afraid of being beaten by the other party!
You know, when the tide of the policy of escalation started.
Countless people were obviously winners the moment before, but were reported the next moment, and were sent to prison with those unfortunate people.
Almost all the merchants and powerful men in counties and countries were affected.
Only a few people were spared.
That tide made the powerful landlords in the world understand a truth, and don’t go to the government to report their fellow countrymen!
………………………………
Zhang Yue scanned the audience, his eyes shuttled through the crowd.
He knew that it was time to add firewood and cook it well.
He stepped forward slightly and bowed to everyone: "All fathers and brothers should know that the Han ancestral system has always been a 'a scholar without teaching,' but it is a matter of 'a sect that cannot be conquered'. In civil affairs, it is a matter of 'a slaughter without teaching'!"
During the Wenjing period, the Han Dynasty under the rule of the Huang-Lao School, these two even the same precepts as heaven.
Before the state promulgates the law, it will definitely be posted under the dew, and will be preached by officials and popularized so that the people can all know.
Before recruiting troops, the army will inevitably choose good families who have received systematic training and have sufficient military skills.
This is the spirit inherited from the Warring States Period and the continuation of Mr. Zichan’s spirit of “Open Law”.
However……
In recent decades, Confucianism has taken power.
These two systems gradually relaxed.
After all, for Confucian scholars, although Zichan was a wise man, he was not as good as Confucius.
Confucius' teachings are good: the people can be used to make them, but not to make them.
Just follow the command and education of our gentlemen.
Do you need to understand the law or something? No!
Among the Confucian forms of thinking, it is even better. The common people should not complain, nor should they easily disturb the gentlemen's practice of me.
If you have any problems, you can negotiate and solve them yourself. That is the best!
A simple summary is to fool the people.
The stupider the people, the better, and the more obedient the people, the better.
All follow the command of the government and local sages.
This is in sharp contrast to before.
However, after all, these two systems are the ancestral system of the Han family.
Confucian scholars can ignore them, but cannot abolish them.
Just like the Confucian scholars hated the Han Dynasty’s household registration system, which was a narrow man and five men to control hundreds of fields.
However, he did not dare to say the word "please cancel".
After all, after taking the lead in Di Shan and getting a lesson in person, such silly and sweetness basically disappeared.
Therefore, when Zhang Yue reiterated these two ancestral systems.
Although the scholars and officials felt awkward and unhappy, they did not dare to object.
This is the ancestral system, the system of the high emperor.
The emperor can avoid birds, but do the ministers dare?
However, they were relieved a lot because of this.
In fact, the landlords and powerful men and merchants did not expect it at all, or even if they thought it, they would not say something that would be said is in a sense. Although the landlords and powerful men in the Wenjing era were subject to various restrictions and constraints, their personal safety and property safety were far more secure than they are now.
Under the rule of the Huang-Lao School, the country was too lazy to care about the landlords and powerful people who stayed at their own homes and played with their own affairs.
As long as you don't break the law, everything is easy to negotiate.
The Cheng Zheng family and Zhuo family in Linqiong were rich in the world and were comparable to the kings and princes when traveling.
There were thousands of disciples in Luoyang's Shi family and Linzi's swords, countless lackeys, and millions of fertile.
But each of them was jumping around.
On the contrary, under the rule of Confucianism and Law, they seem to have gained the power and freedom to do whatever they want at the grassroots level.
But at the same time, I also lost my freedom of life and property.
Any clerk from above can be sent down and all the powerful people in the county can be killed.
Because, when the powerful can torture and exploit the common people at will, it also means that the people in power in the country can also regard them as pigs and dogs.
Therefore, when Zhang Yue reiterated the Han ancestral system, he actually announced the principles he adhered to in Xinfeng.
‘Governing the county according to law’, to be precise, is the Huang-Lao School’s “no correction will be made if there is no law prohibition”.
If you don't break the law, I won't care about you.
Even if you break the law, if you can prove that you really don’t know that this law exists, you can be treated with leniently.
Because "Xuanming Education" is the responsibility of the government.
Now this person does not know this law, which is the government's dereliction of duty.
Although he violated the law and was punished, the government also had "debt of duty".
Therefore, this person can be given a lenient person, but the relevant officials will be scolded for eating. What are you doing? Is it fun to support you with the national salary?
In some cases, even relevant officials may be severely punished.
When you look at the Han laws of the Wenjing era, you can easily see countless punishments for officials' dereliction of duty.
From fines to fines, to demotion and even exile, to execution, everything is available.
In fact, Huang-Lao politics cannot be explained by "clear and inaction".
To be precise, the Huang-Lao School advocates "inaction, and doing everything".
I don’t care about anything outside the law or the system.
