People in the Song Dynasty were lawless

Chapter 143 He will be lawless from now on

Chatted with Fan Zhongyan for a while at noon, and continued today's course in the afternoon.

Nowadays, the progress of the students is still very good. Zhao Jun occasionally writes teaching materials on the computer, mainly completing other subjects except English, history and Chinese.

When he came to the Song Dynasty, he did not bring the formal content of junior high school mathematics, physics and chemistry, but only a little basic knowledge of physics and chemistry. This was obviously not enough to complete the basic education of junior high school mathematics, physics and chemistry in the future, so he could only compile his own teaching materials.

At the end of Shen Shi, after class with the students, I came out of the room and saw a long table set up outside the Guanjia Hall from a distance.

Zhao Zhen and others were already gathered around the table.

This has almost become a daily routine. Apart from Zhao Jun's lectures, it is more often just chatting and communicating about government affairs.

The Constitutional Yuan controls the court, and the emperor controls the Constitutional Yuan, which is somewhat similar to the Military Aircraft Department of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen's power did not decrease but increased.

At least now if he wants to appoint or remove an official at will, he basically only needs to issue an order through the Constitutional Yuan. He no longer needs to be criticized in person by the censors and admonishers as easily as before. The pressure is all on the Constitutional Yuan. .

When Zhao Jun came over with his notebook in his arms, the melon and fruit preserves were ready, and the tea was served. Wang Shouzhong stood conscientiously five to sixty meters away from the Guanjia Hall.

People chatting and talking here can't be heard clearly, but if you shout to him, you can come over in time.The other palace maids and chamberlains were even a hundred meters away.

"My child didn't cause any trouble for Teacher Zhao."

Lu Yijian still held the teacup in her hand, grinning like a veteran cadre, revealing her missing first premolar.

Zhao Jun didn't want to talk to Lao Deng since he learned that he was very insidious. Mainly because he didn't know what this guy was thinking. What if he pretended to be one of his own now and wanted to trap him in the future?
But it seemed too shameless to ignore him directly, so I treated him a little more carefully and said with a smile: "Your children are much more obedient than you."

Lu Yijian rolled his eyes.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I heard that you went to the Firearms Department at noon?"

"Yes."

Zhao Jun sat down. He knew that he could not hide it from Zhao Zhen, and he had no intention of hiding it. Putting everything under Zhao Zhen's nose would give him a sense of security.

"How is it?"

Zhao Zhen asked hurriedly.

He knew the power of firearms.

At least Zhao Jun described it to him.

So I am very concerned about whether I can make firearms.

"Go check it out."

Zhao Jun said: "I simply improved the gunpowder and made a perfect proportion of granular black powder. The lethality is almost as expected."

He had watched anti-Japanese TV dramas before, so he naturally knew the power of grenades made from black powder during the anti-Japanese war.

"I heard that a pit as big as ten feet was blown up on the spot, and several scarecrows placed around were blown to pieces?"

Zhao Zhen said with an exaggerated expression.

"Ah."

Zhao Jun nodded: "This is almost the maximum power of black gunpowder. If you want to continue to increase it in the future, you can only study chemical explosives. Although this thing is dangerous, it is indeed very useful. It is the mainstream explosive of modern weapons."

"It's unimaginable."

"In future generations there will be a single bomb that can destroy a city."

"If our Song Dynasty has these, why worry about not being able to prosper?"

"I really want to experience such power."

Several people thought about it for a while.

Zhao Jun raised his middle finger and said: "You old guys, you want to run away before you even learn how to crawl. You should first understand the black powder and then think about chemical explosives. By then, don't tell me that you will die early." , I guess even I am in my seventies."

This time, for the rare occasion, no one pointed back with their middle fingers.

Because Zhao Jun is right, industry cannot be achieved overnight. Even Zhao Jun’s plan is to use the power of one country to create the first industrial revolution within 50 years, and then use the remaining 50 years to dominate surrounding countries and complete the process. Eastern pole strategy.

At their age, they might not even see the first industrial revolution. They would be satisfied if they could see the Song develop some black powder weapons and defeat the Liao and Xixia in their lifetime.

So it's just full of regrets after all.

Zhao Zhen said enthusiastically: "Even if we can't make chemical explosives, the power of black powder is already very powerful. I am satisfied with having such power. I wonder when I can go to the Firearms Department to have a look?"

"The official dragon body is important, but it should not be touched lightly."

"It's just a small matter like this."

"That's the truth."

Before Zhao Jun could speak, the others persuaded Zhao Zhen not to let him leave the palace.

Gunpowder is very dangerous, and there have been many explosions in Guangbei Siege Bureau in the past, so of course they cannot let Zhao Zhen out.

"Ok."

Zhao Zhen reluctantly agreed, then looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Dasun, what are you going to talk about today?"

Zhao Jun pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered his actions tonight, and whispered: "Then tell me what a complete country should do."

"Oh?"

Everyone became interested and asked: "What should be done?"

"What I want to build is my ideal Song Dynasty."

Zhao Jun looked around and said: "The Song Dynasty can have monarchs and emperors, but the most important thing is that the people are prosperous and healthy, and everyone enjoys the most basic rights as a human being."

Everyone has the most basic rights?
People looked at each other.

Lu Yijian had a bad premonition and asked tentatively: "What are the most basic rights?"

"The Chinese government respects and protects the basic human rights of the people of the People's Republic of China."

Zhao Jun said in a deep voice: "The basic human rights are very simple. The right to protect their survival, the right to ensure their safety in life, and the right to protect them when they are treated unfairly. In other words, the state protects its people. , is its due responsibility.”

"Well."

Zhao Zhen has always been kind-hearted. After hearing this sentence, he felt that it made sense. He nodded and said: "I think this is what the court should do!"

"The Song Dynasty needed to be strong, but it would also bring about oppression and exploitation."

Zhao Jun said: "This is not something that will happen in the future, but something that is happening now. Everywhere in the Song Dynasty oppressed and exploited the people. The court never regarded the people as human beings. Such a country is an incompetent country. The political power Whether it exists or not has nothing to do with the people."

"I don't think so."

After hearing this, Lu Yijian became unhappy and said: "Have you ever seen the scene of people eating each other during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period? Have you ever seen the scene of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, with soldiers and bandits combing like combs, and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles? If not With me, the Song Dynasty, how can so many people survive?" "Yes."

Zhao Jun did not refute this time and said: "So you just did a personnel thing, but it does not mean that you did it well. Do you think there are places like Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower at the foot of Bianliang? glory?"

What Lu Yijian originally wanted to say stalled, and he had no choice but to swallow it back.Because he had seen Ping'er, they, as prime ministers and emperors, were actually doing something wrong in this matter.

At the feet of the Emperor, the most virtuous place, there is also such an evil and terrifying place. This is a great irony in itself, so no one can refute it.

Zhao Jun said: "In my ideal Song Dynasty, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food to eat, everyone can afford to go to school, and everyone lives in health. Sickness can be cured, and there is someone to rely on when old. Children should be nurtured. The Song Dynasty not only wanted to be strong, but also strengthened its own consciousness as a country."

Zhao Zhen asked: "What should we do?"

"To make laws."

Zhao Jun looked around the crowd and said: "To be honest, it was actually easy for the Song Dynasty to complete the industrial revolution. I only need to make a spinning jenny, introduce cotton from the Western Regions, use local sheep, and promote cotton cultivation. Within ten years It was not difficult to get into the early stages of the first industrial revolution.”

"But the industrial base is a country's powerful hardware. In addition to hardware, it must also be supported by software. Even if the Song Dynasty completed the industrial revolution, corresponding rules and regulations are indispensable!"

"After the industrial revolution, it will inevitably be accompanied by the rise of capital. Capital will coerce everything and oppress and exploit workers. When we enter modernization in the future, those workers will continue to be exploited by capital, working overtime and squeezing every ounce of your labor power. .”

"The state must protect their basic rights and interests and balance the contradiction between capital and workers. Ensure their human rights and prevent capital from coercing the state, so that the state becomes an accomplice of capital that squeezes and exploits ordinary people."

"So only by formulating a law, and a law with the highest authority, to protect the human rights of the Han people, can the country develop healthily and long-term, and avoid a vicious cycle and be harmed by capital."

This is what Zhao Jun suddenly thought of today.

In the past, he had been thinking about how to reform the government first. When the government is clear, the execution ability of the subordinates is high, there are fewer corrupt officials, there are fewer lazy officials, and there are no obstacles to the implementation of policies, then industry can be developed.

Such as digging canals between coal and iron mines, promoting cotton cultivation, engaging in animal husbandry and raising large numbers of sheep, and promoting the development of the first industrial revolution together with spinning machines and steam engines.

In fact, given the business environment of the Song Dynasty, it would not be difficult to complete the first industrial revolution within 50 years as long as it was worked out and guided by the state.

But after Fan Zhongyan talked to him about the following today, Zhao Jun remembered that hardware alone is not enough, but also software.

It’s not just Wuyou Cave and Ghost Fan Tower and the people of the Song Dynasty who are currently oppressed and exploited.

There is also the threat of future capital.

The emergence of capital is an inevitable trend. It is accompanied by progress and prosperity, but it is also accompanied by harm.

Even in the new era, in a sense, the state is only controlling capital, but not completely killing it.

The development of the industrial revolution will inevitably lead to the rise of capital, and capital can ignore everything for the sake of interests, so corresponding laws must be improved to protect the basic human rights of the people of the Song Dynasty and allow capital to restrain itself.

After hearing Zhao Jun's words, Zhao Zhen asked curiously: "Does Da Sun want to re-revise the law? If so, it can be left to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for discussion."

"They know the law of the hammer."

Zhao Jun waved his hand and said: "I think I should do this myself in the future. I think the implementation of the Supreme Law should protect the most basic things of a country and government, things that even the emperor, the official, cannot violate."

"I can't even violate it?"

Zhao Zhen opened his eyes wide.

Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Of course, a modern country should have a complete system. The emperor's crimes are the same as those of the common people. Although most of them are just words, I think officials should abide by them. At least those corrupt officials who are caught in the future will be punished. If you are sentenced to death or killed, officials should never hesitate to pardon them directly. Wouldn’t it be treated as child’s play by the country’s laws?”

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhao Zhen laughed twice.

It is basically a joke that the emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qi, lost a game of chess and beat someone to death with the chessboard. What happened?
So at least in ancient society, imperial power and official power were supreme, and the people at the bottom suffered. Who can do anything to them?

Only Lu Yijian frowned. He always felt that something was wrong.

"I plan to set up the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Supervisory Yuan as the three law enforcement departments next year. The Dali Temple is equivalent to the court of later generations, with legislative and judicial powers. The Ministry of Punishment is the Ministry of Public Security of later generations, with censorship and arrest powers. The Supervisory Yuan is the third division of law enforcement in later generations. The procuratorate has the power of supervision and review.”

Zhao Jun continued: “As for the Supreme Law, it is enacted by the Constitutional Yuan. The law will serve as the constitution and enact the basic rights and obligations of the emperor, state institutions, citizens, as well as the national flag, national emblem, and capital. Even the emperor cannot violate it. "

"If that's the case."

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and was about to give an answer.

Lu Yijian figured it out in an instant and immediately said: "Not for officials!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Jun looked at Lu Yijian with a stern look and said, "Old Lutou, you'd better think it over carefully before speaking."

"My old man."

Lu Yijian was frightened by Zhao Jun's gaze and dared not speak for a moment.

Zhao Zhen wondered: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Jun sneered: "He just wants to say that I am grasping the law, interfering with the legislative power that originally belonged to Dali Temple, and restricting the imperial power."

Zhao Zhen suddenly frowned. No emperor wants to have his imperial power restricted.

He can tolerate the Constitutional Yuan because these powers were originally dispersed to bureaucrats and scholar-bureaucrats, but are now concentrated in the hands of an institution he can trust.

Moreover, through this institution, his power was increased, so he was able to establish the Constitutional Yuan.

But if the imperial power was restricted, that would be another matter.

Zhao Jun said: "Some imperial powers should have been restricted. Officials, you are kind and reasonable, so you are a good emperor. But think about the officials, how many tyrants in history have killed people at every move. When I feel unhappy, They would go on a killing spree. They even invented various instruments of torture to torture their ministers. Do the officials think this is what an emperor should do?"

"I can't."

Zhao Zhen immediately shook his head. With his character, it would be a pity even to trample an ant to death, let alone murder.

"That's not it."

Zhao Jun spread his hands and said: "The current official is a kind and holy emperor, but is it difficult to guarantee that the next official will be like this? Official, listen to my advice, I am your descendant, I will not be as bad as Lu Yijian I will harm you just like an old man. The emperor should act like an emperor and formulate a constitution to protect the rights and interests of the people. This is the most basic requirement, isn't it?"

"It seems so."

Zhao Zhen felt that what Zhao Jun said was very reasonable, and it was rare for him to praise the Holy Emperor. He was so happy that he couldn't find anything to say about it. He nodded repeatedly and said: "The great grandson is doing it for my own good, so this constitution will be written by Da Sun, let’s make a plan.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Jun bowed his hands and stared at Lu Yijian deeply, as if he was warning something.

Lao Lu was sweating profusely now, and was complaining in his heart.

Oh my silly official family.

What Zhao Jun wants is not to limit the imperial power, but the power to make laws!
What he says from now on becomes law.

In the future, throughout the Song Dynasty, he will be lawless!
