At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 324: Beat Zhang Liang ten times for the official who was photographed on the horse’s hooves

With Xu Fan's support, "Mozi Monthly" made rapid progress, and the first monthly report was published in less than half a month.

Because in the first issue, there was an article written by the emperor calling on the world to set up workshops and let craftsmen work for 4 hours.

Xu Fan explains at the beginning that as the industry develops and expands, craftsmen are not only producers, but also consumers.

If craftsmen were in the workshops from morning to night, only producing but not consuming, then there would not be enough consumers for the goods produced in the workshops all over the world.

It will happen that goods cannot be sold, workshops cannot make enough money, workshops close down, more craftsmen are unemployed, products cannot be sold, and more workshops close down, falling into such a vicious cycle, the entire world's economic order will collapse.

Xu Fan set the tone of this matter very high, saying that the four-hour working system was not only for the welfare of craftsmen, but also for the workshop owners all over the world to be able to sell their products, and for the healthy development of the economic order of the entire world.

Four hours to work, four hours to sleep, four hours to return to the family and the craftsman himself. Craftsmen can also improve their own level during these four hours. This is a necessary step for the world to enter the world of great harmony.

As soon as this article came out, it caused a sensation in the whole world. Because of this article, 1,500 counties and counties in the Han Dynasty purchased "Mozi Monthly", which made the first issue of "Mozi Monthly" pay for itself and became a National newspapers.

Of course, most of the people who read and read the article scoffed. How could such a weird thing happen in the world that goods could not be sold? The emperor actually told such a big lie for the benefit of those craftsmen. This was not to think of them as fools.

Of course, Xu Fan is the emperor, and even if his words are not in line with their wishes, they will still say a few words in agreement. But the body is very honest and knows but cannot do it.

Are you kidding me? Let those craftsmen go back before it gets dark. How much money will we lose? We know how much a piece of cloth sells for now. Every time the loom stops for an hour, I will make dozens of dollars less. You pay for this money!

After taking our money, you have to work hard for us until death. You want to rest before it gets dark. You really treat yourself as a big animal. That is the kind of treatment only cows and horses can get. You deserve it too.

After speaking, Mr. Wang added a handful of beans to his BMW.

Of course, those private workshop owners did not pay attention to the emperor's words. Even the emperor could not take money from their sleeves with empty words.

But some people still care.

The Right Shaofu ordered Chen Chui to announce that in order to respond to the emperor's call and achieve universal unity as soon as possible, the Shaofu's steel plants, carriage workshops and other factories controlled by the Shaofu began to implement a four-hour working system.

The reason why Chen Chui did this was first to please the emperor. The second is that he felt that he had lost face at the court meeting, and now he wanted to get this face back.

Although you, Zhou Zhang, hold a high and powerful position, I, Chen Chui, am not bad either. In terms of qualifications, I am still above you. I got to know the emperor half a year before you did.

The Gongshu Family Control Equipment Factory also announced that it would officially implement a four-hour work system in its own workshop.

The textile machines manufactured by the Gongshu family are the most advanced and of the highest quality in the world, but demand has always been in short supply, and production capacity has been delayed until three years later. They cannot win at all. Even if they implement a four-hour work system, they won't suffer any loss. At worst, each loom will cost an additional 4 yuan.

Li Shiqi, the order of Nei Shi, also announced that the textile factories under Nei Shi would implement a four-hour work system.

Li Shiqi's idea is very simple. Of course, when you are an official, you must understand the spirit of the above. The emperor has said that a four-hour work system must be implemented. Of course, their subordinates must abide by it. As for whether the textile factory makes money and whether it will go bankrupt, that will be decided later. matter.

But this was intolerable to Zhou Zhang. The steel industry had high technology and low competition pressure. All steel plants in the world were government-run, which made sense. The Gongshu family was their own industry and it was not easy for him to manage it.

But there are more than tens of millions of textile factories in the world. Thousands of textile factories are now established every year. Li Shiqi is still doing this. If counties and counties in the world follow suit, the textile industry of Han Dynasty may be in danger.

Zhou Zhang immediately reprimanded Chen Chui and Li Shiqi. Not long after, at the court meeting, Prime Minister Zhou Zhang proposed that the court should improve the official retirement system.

Officials below the county level retire at sixty, those below the county level at sixty-five, and officials at the county level and nine ministers retire at seventy.

As soon as this proposal came out, the whole court was in a stir. Everyone could see that the Prime Minister wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and this chicken was Li Shiqi.

The Han Dynasty had just founded the country, and the entire upper echelon of the imperial court was extremely young. Not to mention 70 years old, there were not many high-ranking officials who were even 60 years old.

But Li Shiqi was the exception. He was already in his sixties when he joined the emperor, and he was almost seven now. If this system were to be implemented, Li Shiqi must be the first batch of high-ranking officials to retire in the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, Zhou Zhang issued an order in the name of the Prime Minister's Office to all counties and counties, asking them to sort out their account books and prepare for the handover this time. The imperial court would make a large-scale transfer of officials.

Zhou Zhang shocked the Han officials with such tough methods, and the Han officials below suddenly no longer dared to talk nonsense. At this time, he offended the prime minister and sent them to a remote place in a poor country, where they could not tell their sufferings.

Xu Fan did not stop Zhou Zhang's actions. One of Zhou Zhang's two policies had been discussed at the court meeting, and the other was what Xu Fan wanted to implement. Naturally, he would not object.

The second is that he doesn't like this trend among Han officials. If the government-run enterprises of the Han Dynasty implement such a policy, he has seen the consequences.

The textile industry is not a high-tech or highly monopolized industry. If the officials continue to do this, bankruptcy is inevitable. I am afraid that he will be the one to take the blame. He would rather this matter be slower.

Under Zhou Zhang's strong suppression, this trend slowly subsided. But soon a new hot spot appeared in the world.

Zhang Liang also wrote his "National Wealth Policy" in "Mozi Monthly".

The above content is mainly dialogue, mainly recording what the emperor said and thought about him on a daily basis.

For the first time, Zhang Liang recognized industry and commerce as the same pillar industry as agriculture, discussed the development of industry and the increase of world wealth, and believed that if the Han Dynasty wanted to build a unified world, it must vigorously develop industry and commerce.

If you want to vigorously develop industries, you must establish supporting political systems, cultural systems, economic systems, etc.

This was the first time that industry and commerce were promoted throughout the world as the foundation of the country, and it caused a sensation throughout Guanzhong and even the world.

But most of them still criticized Zhang Liang verbally and writtenly. During this period, Zhang Liang was in too much limelight.

The literati were dissatisfied with each other. They were already unconvinced by Zhang Liang, and now Zhang Liang has issued such crooked remarks, hoping to shake the foundation of agriculture as the foundation of the country.

For a time, "Dahan Monthly" was full of articles criticizing Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang was not polite. Lu Ru scolded him, so he scolded Ru Lu for not knowing how to adapt. The world had already undergone great changes, but they still adhered to the Zhou rites and refused to open their eyes to see the world. They only repeated the words of Confucius, when the world did not recognize them. At the same time, they just closed their eyes and pretended not to see it all, just like the Jin people who were hiding their ears.

Then he scolded Zisi's Confucianism for talking about mind and nature, which is of no use to the world. Then he said that the world is dominated by matter, and spirit can only play a supporting role. Therefore, the Six Kingdoms, which talked about mind and nature, were annexed by the Qin Dynasty, which valued farming. An example of a world dominated by matter.

Because there are many Confucian scholars and they are powerful, Zhang Liang's main targets are people from various schools of Confucianism. Zhang Liang, who has acquired materialist dialectics, has greatly improved his rhetoric skills and can defeat scholars from more than a dozen schools by himself.

But those scholars are also fighting against each other. One person cannot defeat you, and a group of us cannot defeat you.

It has been more than three years since the Han Dynasty conquered the world. Every year, 10% of the Han Dynasty's finances are invested in education. The number of scholars in the world has skyrocketed in the past few years. Although these people are not yet successful in school, they can understand the content of their debates. These students will then explain the content of the debates between the two sides to the common people in the audience. As a result, the hot spot in Guanzhong became Zhang Liang's challenge to more than a dozen people. School, the people in Guanzhong gave Zhang Liang a thumbs up. One person could challenge more than a dozen people, but Grandmaster Zhang Liang could beat him.

Zhong Jun, the editor-in-chief of Dahan Monthly, realized that things were becoming more and more out of control, and wanted to control speech, so he stopped the publication of articles criticizing Zhang Liang in the newspaper.

This immediately angered the entire Shilin. When these students were debating in Jixia Academy, they would even use their fists and kicks when the debate was heated, but they did not stop talking. You have directly silenced them in this academic discussion between scholars. This is because you want to use your power to suppress them.

This immediately made many scholars feel morally superior. It was not that we could not win against Zhang Liang, but that Zhang Liang used his power to suppress us.

These unconvinced scholars immediately gathered together and founded the Journal of Scholars, creating a platform to debate Zhang Liang on it.

Zhang Liang was also very angry with Zhong Jun. Which academic master did not rise to the top by stepping on a bunch of peers? Back then, Xunzi became a world-recognized Confucian master after he was scolded all over the world. Han Fei's articles were even scolded by hundreds of schools of thought. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of ancient times took it out and stepped on it, which established his reputation as a master of learning.

Now it's his turn. How can he establish his academic status without scolding these people into silence? How can he use power to suppress this matter? This is not affecting his prestige.

Therefore, Zhang Liang no longer published his articles in Dahan Monthly, but went all the way to Shilin Journal to continue his debate with these scholars.

May 13th, Chang'an City, Kong Yu Mansion.

Kong Yu held the "Shilin Journal" in his hand and said with a smile: "Shilin is indeed becoming more and more lively now. Unexpectedly, after becoming the prime minister, Zifang's knowledge has greatly increased, and he has become somewhat like Han Fei. ”

Fu Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "It is indeed a bit like Han Fei's posture, taking out the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and stepping on them at every turn. No wonder Lu Ru is so excited."

Lu Ru is composed of the most conservative scholars in Confucianism. They just think that the present is not as good as the past. When they speak, it is not Confucius, but what the three generations of sages are like, the three emperors and the five emperors. In short, people in ancient times were moral, and everything in ancient times was good. Yes, when it comes to modernity, it means moral decay, the collapse of etiquette and the collapse of music.

Even the emperor of the Han Dynasty was scolded by them, thinking that the emperor was too cruel and would exile the people at every turn, and the young manor of the Han Dynasty was too competitive with the people.

When arguing with them, they would first pull out the deeds of ancient times, compare them with current deeds, and finally conclude that the Han Dynasty was not as good as in ancient times, and the court wanted to change its current policy.

The three ancient generations were the spiritual beacons of these Lu and Confucians. Now Zhang Liang has knocked down their spiritual beacon, and stepped on it a few times. Where is the holy king who stepped on them from the three ancient generations? This is simply a slap in their face.

Of course Lu Ru wanted to punish Zhang Liang verbally and writingly. If Zhang Liang hadn't been in a high position and had great power, he would have had to punish Shaozhengmao once.

Kong Yu looked at Zhang Liang's article and sighed: "Zifang speaks with facts in terms of population, geographical territory, economy, cities and other aspects. No matter whether they are common people, nobles, or monarchs, their lives are not as good as those of the Han Dynasty. Faced with such a situation In fact, it is a joke to say that the present is not as good as the past.”

This is the advantage of not having a chronological history. There are three large libraries in Chang'an Guang, which collect all the political, economic, cultural, historical, divination and other books in the world in the past three thousand years.

Although the level of cultural dissemination is not as good as that of the Internet era, it is unprecedented in this era. Scholars in this era can go to the library to check this knowledge. Not to mention that Xu Fan also compiled these history books based on the experience of later generations, so that ordinary scholars can more easily see the living conditions of three generations in ancient times.

The large-scale dissemination of knowledge is a fascinating process. A small number of elite scholars can no longer control the interpretation of history.

What the three generations are like has been presented to the students of the Han Dynasty in a relatively real way. It is no longer a case of a few elite scholars saying what is what.

The more fiercely they argued, the deeper the Han students delved into this period of history, and the more they took out the underpants of the Three Generations Reign.

Zong Zhou values ​​​​bloodline and pays attention to the world, the world, the world, and the world. It is impossible for low-level students like them to be reused. They have no bloodline with the surname Ji at all. When they went to the Zhou Dynasty, they could only be regarded as barbarians, and very few of them could become Chinese citizens.

You must know that whether the Han Dynasty is an upper-level official or a middle-level official or scholar, most of them took advantage of the chaos in the world to become officials either because of military merit or because of the imperial examination. Few of the current rulers of the Han Dynasty are People from aristocratic families believe that their current status is achieved by their own swords and swords.

At this time, the social trend of the Han Dynasty was that generals had no race, men should be self-reliant, and fame could only be obtained by horse. This kind of system that only paid attention to blood was what they despised the most. Therefore, the Confucian spiritual dynasty Zhou Dynasty, in the Han Dynasty Shilin His reputation was ruined.

The Shang Dynasty made blood sacrifices to heaven at every turn. Such brutal historical records even made students unable to believe that this would be their dynasty in the Central Plains. Compared with the Great Shang Dynasty, Bao Qin could be regarded as a country of benevolence and righteousness.

Just like the Internet era in later generations, a wide range of historical discussions have been opened up. Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of netizens have delved into history bit by bit, and finally pulled out the loyal Yuandu Dudu, the famous Prime Minister Sima Guang who ceded land, and the crowd was full of people heading towards Donglin. Party, Sima Yi, the oath of Luoshui.

These famous historical ministers probably never thought that something like the Internet would appear in the world, and tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of netizens would uncover their own dark histories bit by bit. The illusion of the rule of three generations codified by Confucianism was completely shattered.

Shusuntong shook his head and said: "Zhang Liang is just a target pushed by His Majesty. Instead, the Emperor is close to the Mo family. We should pay more attention to it."

Shusuntong pointed to the "Mozi Monthly" and said: "The emperor's article is a platform for the Mohists. This is the first time such a thing has happened."

The emperor attached great importance to education, and hundreds of schools of thought developed rapidly in the Han Dynasty. However, it was the first time that he wanted to support a single school of thought.

Kong Yu sighed: "I'm afraid it's the Mohist family who stood up for the emperor. The four-hour work system was proposed by the emperor, not the Mohist family. Qin Dazi was opposed to it at the time."

"I am also opposed to this kind of thing. Although there is nothing wrong with benevolence and righteousness, blindly exalting benevolence and righteousness can easily turn good things into bad things. The current booming textile industry will cause heavy damage. The reason why I, a big man, can maintain tax cuts and exemptions Strong military strength relies on these industries.”

Fu Sheng said: "It is natural law to give people money to work. How can the imperial court force working hours? Moreover, this is not in line with the habit of the people in the world, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. The salary of these craftsmen is basically It’s so expensive, and if we reduce the working hours, I’m afraid no one will come to open these textile workshops.”

Fu Sheng couldn't think of why the emperor would do this?
The person who controls the most textile workshops in the world is the Shaofu of the imperial court. It is said that half of the textile machines in the world are in the hands of the Shaofu. If the four-hour work system is really implemented, the Shaofu will suffer the most.

Shusuntong explained: "The thoughts of kings in the past have been very difficult to guess, but your Majesty's thoughts are not difficult to guess at all. What your Majesty said is what you think and what you do."

Fu Nianyou said in astonishment: "The punishment is unpredictable, and the power is unpredictable. This is the way of the emperor. Your Majesty lets his ministers know his preferences. Isn't the emperor afraid of being manipulated by powerful ministers?"

Shusun Tong smiled bitterly and said: "I'm really not afraid. The emperor wants to build a world of great harmony. Hasn't this been announced to the world? If a minister who can realize the emperor's idea appears, the emperor will be overjoyed."

"According to the emperor, he set an ideal and searched for like-minded people throughout the world. The emperor was always worried about having few such ministers, rather than worrying about having too many such ministers.

The Emperor once said that if the Han Dynasty can find tens of thousands of ministers who have the ambition of great unity, although it will be difficult for the Han Dynasty to realize the world of great unity, it is possible to achieve a prosperous and prosperous world. "

Fu Sheng sighed: "The emperor's name as the first sage of the three generations is really correct."

Kong Yu said with a smile: "The reputation of the three generations has been ruined. If we really can achieve a prosperous and prosperous age, the emperor will really be able to surpass the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

Shu Suntong said: "In such a prosperous age, we, the Confucians, have to find our own position. It is more meaningless to argue with Prime Minister Zhang. If we have this time, it is better to advocate for the emperor's four-hour working system so that the craftsmen can rest and have time. Taking care of your wife and children is benevolence and righteousness, and it is in line with my Confucian philosophy. We should support the emperor's words. "

Fu Nian stopped him and said, "The emperor can say this, but I, the Confucian, cannot say it."

The basic base of Confucianism is the powerful and small landowners, and these people are also the majority of the workshop owners in the world. This policy is obviously harmful to their interests.
