Chapter Eight hundred and Ninety: Holy Law
After hearing this, Hao Fenglou became stern and said seriously: "What is this? Since you say this is a holy law, then it is considered a golden rule. Thanks to you who have read so many books of sages, how can you still have a half-study like a scholar? This is a serious and great achievement. It is the saint who inherits the unique knowledge of the past sages and brings peace to the ages. The saints say that they should resume the Zhou rituals every day. Why is the Zhou rituals not prosperous? It is precisely because you see that there are difficulties ahead, and you will abandon the left sentence for a long time. The right sentence will not be gradual for a hundred years. We will not do it today, and we will push it to the descendants tomorrow. Since it is a holy law, it will not be implemented, and it will disappear for thousands of years. When the descendants' rituals are so shirkable, it will be
Come, it will be gone for thousands of years. How can this be achieved? How can it be worthy of the saints, and of the ancestors, and how can it be right for the children and grandchildren? This is a holy law and a saint's way. From now on, those who dare to criticize the holy law will be treated as false learning. If anyone criticizes it, then the holy law will be seized. This holy law is a matter of great importance. It is a great matter. If you have the Tao, it is a sacred way. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. This matter, I have been thinking about it and determined to break through the thorns. No matter what, it will be done. Therefore, everyone should consider whether it is important to yourself or the holy law, whether it is your selfishness or the saint's point of interest.↖”
Hao Fenglou's words were really bolt from the blue, and he could not argue.
The prefect of Chengdu is also stupid. He dared not question the Jingtian system. After all, in the eyes of Confucianism, the Jingtian system is an important part of the Zhou rituals. If you deny Jingtian, you deny Zhou rituals, you deny Confucius, and if you deny Confucius, you deny Confucianism. If you deny Confucianism, then what are they themselves? They can have today. Isn’t it just such a stepping stone?
Therefore, the prefect of Chengdu saved the country in a curve, and first affirmed the holy law. He praised it as a holy scripture, but he also criticized it indirectly. He also said that the well-field system has not been implemented for thousands of years and may be difficult to repair.
This caught Hao Fenglou. How could anyone bringing the saint's things not be repaired? People who could play thousands of years ago could not play them?
Hao Fenglou's words showed his attitude and determination. All the officials below were embarrassed. Fang Xiaoru also submitted a memorial to restore the well-field system, but no one said anything. Although Emperor Jianwen was stupid, he knew that this guy was ill and ignored it. Some things you could not argue, so everyone pretended to be confused. However, Hao Fenglou was playing gongs and gongs and moved the holy law again. Do you want to be an ostrich, do you do it?
But if you don’t become an ostrich, it would be even more wonderful if you oppose it. People are sharpening their knives and waiting for you, the one who slanders the holy law, to fall into the trap.
So everyone had to continue to be an ostrich, but at the moment, they wanted to be an ostrich but they couldn't do it.
Hao Fenglou glanced at them and continued, "Whoever blocks the implementation of the Holy Law will be a humiliating the Holy Law. This is a big deal in the world. Although Hao is a martial artist, he also has the intention to defend the Holy Science. If he dares to disobey and dares to do things perfunctorily, then ask me if the sword on my waist agrees or not. The Holy Law will be promulgated tomorrow. If you have any objections, you can tell me privately, but if you dare to deny it publicly, it will be unforgivable."
After putting down this harsh words, Hao Fenglou shook his hand and left.
The people who stayed behind stared at each other, laughing and crying.
However... in fact, they are not really involved in their fundamental interests at the moment. They are officials, and they are all foreign, not in their hometown, and their fields are 108,000 miles away from here. Now Hao Fenglou is going to promote the holy law here, at least it will not be too scary now, but... the local gentry is afraid of being in trouble.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The next day, the Holy Law began to be promulgated, and the content was roughly the same as that of Wang Mang's restructuring, but compared with the more radical Wang Mang's restructuring, this Holy Law obviously eased a lot.
For example, during the restructuring of Wang Mang, the land in the family shall not exceed 900 acres, and the rest shall be allocated to the same clan. Hao Fenglou is counted as males. If there is a male in the family, the land shall not exceed 100 acres. The remaining ones may be sold immediately. If the amount exceeds the amount, the tax will be increased in the first year, and the tax will be doubled in the second year. If the education is not corrected in the third year, the confiscation will be confiscated. Anyone who reports that the land exceeds the limit, the report can be granted ten acres of land. If someone changes the household registration to recharge, he will be granted the Chongming Island as a slave.
There are also villages, village chiefs, pavilions, and no matter where they are recommended by local governments, they can be retained for all, and the government will pay their salaries and be appointed as officials.
The first one is for the gentry, but the latter one is even more powerful. In the past, the regime did not go to the county, so no matter what law came to the county government, even if it was terminated, most of the village heads, pavilions, and security chiefs in the village were part-time, and often landlords or large households were elected. These people were the owners of a large amount of land. They were almost all in charge of measuring the land, liquidating output, and even collecting grain taxes. In this way, to implement this holy law, the first thing to do is to separate these "country officials" from the local gentry, the government paid salaries, and no longer allowed temporary workers to serve as town officials. To a certain extent, it was actually to strengthen control over the countryside.
These people become serious staff with a fixed salary. Although they may conceal and collude with others, they are controlled by the county at any time and can be punished immediately once they find any clues, or they can be directly abolished and others will replace them.
In addition, local pavilion chiefs, security chiefs, and village chiefs cannot be used as officials in the local area, and need to be re-allocated. For example, the officials in Xinjin County have to be transferred to Tanglong County. The two places are hundreds of miles apart. If they want to collude with the local area, there is another obstacle. For locals, you are an outside official and you will inevitably be rejected. However, because of the exclusion, you cannot integrate into the local area. Then you will not be afraid of offending others when doing things. After all, the government is behind them. As long as you handle it fairly, can you do something worse?
At the same time, a group of Chen students finally began to go to the countryside. Their task of going to the countryside is to revitalize the village school, and hundreds of students entered various villages and villages in a vast way.
