golden scales

As Yan Zhitui said, "Adolescents are like surnames, habits are like nature", the habits of youth can even affect a person's life. When Zhu Cihong was studying, he was a figure of the top class, and he was naturally contaminated with the habit of "worshiping authority".This made him dislike the Ming Dynasty and the society of the Ming Dynasty.

Much of Zhu Cihong's understanding of the clan comes from Lu Xun's novels.However, after actually walking among the common people and communicating with the people around him who are oppressed by the "patriarchal clan", Zhu Cihong did not find that etiquette is eating people.And in those places where the phenomenon of "cannibalism" occurs, it is precisely because etiquette is not respected.

Because of such contradictions, Zhu Cihong carefully sorted out his historical and literary knowledge, plus what he had seen and heard over the years, and finally found another possible surname.

The patriarchal clan society itself has dual attributes of politics and the rule of law, which is a supplement to the imperial power.The problem I have been struggling with, if I analyze it carefully, is actually how to maintain its political attributes and smash its rule of law attributes.

In the New Culture Movement's war against the patriarchal society, the emerging civic thinking wanted to defeat the old subject thinking and subvert traditional morality and its values.Therefore, in the eyes of Lu Xun and others, history books are full of cannibalism, and there are bloodstains between the lines.These go-getters are destined to smash the dual attributes of politics and the rule of law in the patriarchal society, promote their own values, and root them in the minds of the people all over the world-the so-called enlightenment of people's wisdom.

This is true whether it is "Mr. De" and "Mr. Sai" who came first, or "Mr. Ma" and "Mr. Lie" later.

At that time, China had already reached the point of going to the doctor in a hurry, which can be forgiven.Daming at this time did not have such a social environment and ideological conditions at all.

As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihuang never thought of developing socialism, and capitalism is only a seedling that seems to exist, so at this stage, he must stand on the standpoint of traditional morality and protect the patriarchal clan. Political attribute, to consolidate one's legal status - otherwise lead someone to kill oneself?

And because of the memory of his previous life, Zhu Cihong is very sensitive to the country's judicial power, which prompted him to smash the rule of law of the patriarchal society.

Once you start to reflect, you will be able to see the whole picture of things.

Lu Xun himself and other left-wing literati have always had "enemies". It can be seen that they are only one side in this war, and the possibility of grasping the truth is only 50.00%.If Lu Xun's words hit the root of all social problems and were convinced by the public, he would be a spiritual leader—in fact, he was a fighter, a madman, and in popular terms he was just a "minority writer."

Once you clarify your thinking and understand the problems you are facing, you will naturally be able to solve them easily.

With the filing of the genealogy of various clans in the county government, the family rules, family precepts, and township rules and regulations have all been involved in the prefectural government, the three elders, and foreign surnames. No one can close the door and talk to themselves.Taking advantage of the reputation of the current crown prince, who is as powerful as the sky, each family upholds the greatest tolerance and welcome for this kind of intervention.And because of the habitual effect of traditional thinking, the interveners try not to point fingers at other people's family affairs with the utmost respect.

With mutual concessions, the work at the political level advanced extremely quickly.

The key lies in the rule of law.

How to ensure that the clan will not say one thing and do another, and enforce the family law behind closed doors?

The method proposed by Feng Yuanhui is "tourism".

The county courts regularly send judges to tour the villages, and on the first day they openly accept lawsuits and hear the case.The next day, a curtain was set up, and the old and young in the village came in one by one, reported their names and addresses, and gave each a red mung bean.Those who have nothing to do will deliver the mung beans and put the red beans into the tank.Those who have grievances and cannot dictate will give red beans secretly and discard mung beans.

After seeing all the old and young in the village, the judge asked the county police to make an unannounced visit to find out the truth of the matter and protect the vulnerable litigants.

There are referees in the county touring the villages, and judges in the mansion touring the counties. One more channel means one less crime.Coupled with the overt or covert supervision of Feng Xianguan, it is impossible to say that politics is clear, but there is no such thing as darkness.

Under these actions, the household registration of the people in Renqiu County, Hejian Prefecture has added a filling in the blank with local characteristics: the ancestral hall of the clan to which they belong.

The ancestral halls of each clan, as the core of the clan, are registered together by the government, and at the same time, the clan property owned by the clan is also registered, including righteous land, public land, sacrificial land, etc.The official statement is: protect the family property, and prevent unworthy sons from selling, stealing, and embezzling.However, the second move is to target those corrupt officials to prevent the transfer of corrupt assets to the clan. It seems that they have nothing to do, but they are actually full of food.

Hejian Mansion, the newly established Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Dali Temple all sent people to inspect.Hejian Mansion considered how to promote it throughout the prefecture, and Dali Temple had to consider how to formulate provisions to determine the text of the "Huangming Clan Law".The Ministry of Civil Affairs doesn't need to think about anything, it's just here to help with work.

A principal took a hundred students ranging from ten to twenty years old and traveled three hundred miles to Renqiu County to reformulate the format of the household registration booklet and help with supplementary household registration.It is also necessary to conduct surveys and statistics on clan population and non-clan population, and at the same time conduct primary occupational surveys to see how many people are engaged in business and service industries, so as to practice more statistical surveys in the future.

The principal had heard of the term "economic census" a long time ago, and it was Yao Tao who accidentally slipped it when relaying the crown prince's instructions.These four words are quite a bit like the meaning of the Xianguan. In order to be able to get rid of this all-day planning work, the chief volunteer volunteered to come to Renqiu, hoping that when there is a "census" in the future, he can give priority to it.

Facts have proved that under the Eastern Palace system, there are many good positions, but the hard work and hard work to get a good position is also indispensable.

This is also the hidden cost of corruption.Once caught, all the money is lost, and even the efforts made in the past are in vain.

Before the private commercial firms failed to compete with the state agencies for talents, Zhu Cihong was really a little unscrupulous.

Zhu Cihong has one advantage, he never thinks of people too stupidly.He never thought that if he dug a hole by himself, others would dance very happily one by one.As for the promotion of the "Law of the Clan", he decided to see the effect of Ren Qiu, and if it was suitable, he would use the power of the state to enforce it. As long as it did not break through the critical point, there would be no problem.

What surprised Zhu Cihong, before he could order, other counties in Hejian Prefecture had already heard the news, and most of the clans showed a gesture of warm welcome. There were very few clans who really resisted, and finally followed the crowd.

Zhu Cihong was very worried that it was the civil affairs officials who had done something fierce for the sake of political achievements, and sent people to patrol around, but found that this was not the case.In fact, many clans took the initiative to find officials and demanded to emulate the Renqiu system.

At present, no one realizes that there is a contradiction between clan power and imperial power.In the eyes of everyone, imperial power is taken for granted that it is number one in the world, sacred and inviolable.

Contradictions within the clan have existed for a long time.

The contradiction between the patriarch who controls the sacrificial power and has a high influence among the clan, and the head of the house who controls the actual means of production; The contradiction between the clan members who want to get rid of the clan's restraint but don't want to lose the clan's blessing, and the patriarch who deeply feels the lack of binding force on the clan.

Both sides of these contradictions, when they have strong power in their hands, hope that the strong will be respected.When I was at a disadvantage, I hoped to ask the officials for an explanation and let outsiders judge the reasoning.

When everyone couldn't sit on chairs of the same height equally, they simply sat on the ground.

With this kind of thinking in mind, all the clans jumped into Zhu Cihong's pit one after another, for fear that they would be too late.

And because Zhu Cihong released the restriction and protection of opposing ancestral halls and lowered the threshold, many large clans even created new small clans, established their own ancestral halls, and spread out.Some families that lack local heritage can also take this opportunity to set up ancestral halls and continue their genealogy.Naturally, these people have also become staunch supporters of the "Clan Law".

Tang Taizong was proud of his imperial examinations: "All the heroes of the world fall into my trap."

At this time, Zhu Cihong really felt that "pit" can also be very popular.

Amidst the praises, Zhu Cihong's car finally moved forward slowly, leaving Renqiu County, a place where reed mats are a specialty.

In addition to harvesting a batch of reed mats by accident, Zhu Cihong also knew that someone was going to reclaim Baiyangdian Lake.

This kind of wasteland reclamation is generally supported by the local government, and it is also an important way for the imperial court to increase land taxes. However, since there is an opportunity to develop the tertiary industry here, it is natural to have some biased policies.

"Both clearing forests and reclaiming wasteland and filling lakes and land are good," Zhu Cihong fully affirmed farmers' willingness to expand, "but the world's ecology cannot only have farmland, but also lakes and wetlands to divide water and store floods. Now for a few acres of good land If the lake is filled, it will be difficult to change it back after a disaster.

"Dali Temple is just thinking about how to issue a "Huangming Natural Environment Protection Policy". There are roughly three points: you can open mountains, but you can't destroy forests; you can reclaim wasteland, but you can't fill lakes; you can hunt, but you can't make them extinct."

Nowadays, the supply of food in different places has become an inevitable trend. Even after 400 years, China will have a population of more than one billion, and there will only be five major grain-producing areas.With the current population of Ming Dynasty, even if it is calculated based on the 850 million hectares when Taizu founded the country, with the purchased grain, it is enough for everyone to survive.If according to the statistics of the Wanli period, the country's arable land is more than [-] million hectares, then there will be no starvation.

The key is poor harvests, crop failures, and uneven distribution.

Zhu Cihong decided to start with the most influential "distribution", and he didn't care much about the newly opened fields.If the distribution problem is not resolved, no matter how many fields are opened, some people will starve to death.Now this can also allow more people to enter the service industry, make commodity circulation more convenient, and accelerate capital accumulation.

"Your Highness, the world is at peace, and the number of people is increasing. How can we feed the population if there are not enough acres?"

"The world is so big, there must be a place for the people to plant land and harvest food, why destroy the green mountains and green waters left by our ancestors?" Zhu Cihong had something in his words.

Feng Yuanhui, who was at the side, suddenly remembered what he had said about Annan and Zhancheng Zhiliang. His heart moved, and he thought to himself: Could it be that His Highness really has the heart to expand and make progress?At that time, it is not bad to be a Bailihou who is as high as the sky and the emperor is far away!
