Chapter XXXV
Now the power of the people is stronger, the power of the nobility is weaker, Dai Cong used his power to destroy the nobles to be a commoner, the sage Dayin, this kind of division of the gentlemen and the common people of the political system will also expose all kinds of drawbacks, or it is also not conducive to Dai Cong's plan to centralize power, which can basically be declared to collapse.
And Shi has always wanted the Song State to succeed in centralizing power and integrating it into one.
After the collapse of the patriarchal system, the collapse of the ritual law, and the failure of the coexistence of the three surnames and the Chinese people, a new system had to be put into one system to integrate the Song state politically...... Nominally whole.
The existence of the State sometimes requires some jurisprudence, at least justification, that sounds self-justifying.
Before the patriarchal system of etiquette never collapsed, the Song State was the Great Zhou Ke, a descendant of Yin Shang, the Son of Heaven and the duke of the Zhou Dynasty.
After the collapse, the situation of the three surnames co-governmenting, the legal principle is who has the biggest fist, who has more fiefdoms, and who has the final say. No one can beat everyone else with their fists, so compromise with each other and govern together.
Twenty years ago, the Mo family got involved, and the people found that our fists were not small, so the Junziyuan and the Commoners' House coexisted.
Now the people's fist is getting bigger and bigger, and Dai Cong's name on the throne is "the people are the gods", the spokesperson of the people.
This is not just the case of the Song Kingdom, but in fact, this is the case in all countries.
After the patriarchy existed in name only, countries were looking for new political systems to bridge and maintain a state.
The State of Qi used the Yellow Emperor to win the Yan Emperor and the Tian family to replace the reincarnation of Qi Wude; The Qin State is a lord who uses the people, everyone may benefit from the expansion of the military state, and the apparent interests of the monarch and everyone who may make military achievements are the same; Sishang is the battle to solve the three troubles of the people, equality and love to stop the world......
The Song State is directly the people as the gods, not long-term, not to benefit the world, as long as the immediate interests, a people-elected political Yuan Yin who takes the essence of the people.
The difference with Sishang is that Sishang has been preaching since he suppressed the non-offensive faction: taking Yu as the holy, redefining Kyushu, benefiting the world and benefiting oneself These contents are these contents.
In other words, the legal principle of the existence of Sishang is to benefit the world and unify the war, unless the non-offensive faction is on the throne, otherwise it must go on firmly, which is also the foundation for the world's talents to vote.
The Song State was war-weary, non-offensive, lightly taxed, independent, divided, and exempted.
In this case, Sishang's side has a lot of room for maneuver against the Song State.
It's like the emperor's father, Yue Ling, angrily reprimanded the Mo family, saying that Sishang is a centralized power that everything is above and everything is not, but in the Song Kingdom, the gentleman's court and the common people's court can't do nonsense all day long, and his heart is sinister.
He hit the nail on the head, but he came to his senses a little late.
Shi always thinks that Song Guo is a hot potato, and it is actually not comfortable to hold it in his hands, and there are not many Lili. Whether the Song State is independent or not does not depend on the Song State itself, but on the situation in the world, so the world is determined and the Song State is decided; The world is in turmoil, and the Song State exists.
Since this is the case, then we can find a way to continue to make it impossible for the Song State to complete the centralization of power, and continue to be a buffer country that can only defend and not attack.
This is an opportunity.
It is different from the Shang Dynasty reform in history, and it is also different from the change of Shengqi Wu Qi in the Qin State at this time.
The reform of the Qin State was top-down, the monarch and courtiers used their talents and force to suppress the old aristocracy, and those who rebelled against the Mo cultivated officials from the top down, forming a solid top-down centralized state, so the activities of the Mo family in the Qin State were extremely difficult.
Dai Congyi has no force, and without the support of the Sishang Mo family, he doesn't want to clean up the nobles of the entire Song Kingdom, but he can't fight with the imperial father's family alone.
Second, there are no talents, the few talents in his hands, it is okay to manage one or two cities, and he wants to govern the entire Song State and imitate the county system of the Qin State, which is a fool's dream.
Third, there is no talent training system of its own, next to Sishang, and most talented people have learned from Si Shang.
The reason for this rebellion in the Song State was also because of the oppression of the nobles and the tax increase of the imperial father's family who wanted to centralize the formation of the standing army, so it was completely possible to use all this to make the Song State a fragmented but nominally unified Song State.
The bicameral system of the Junziyuan and the Commoners' Yuan could not exist, so local autonomy and local federation were carried out, which completely cut off the possibility of centralizing power in the Song State.
After the great debate four years ago, 100 schools of thought have developed in their own way, and this is also an opportunity.
Since the peasant family was quite powerful in the Song State and was known as the real egalitarian, it was possible to persuade them to make trouble this time, occupy the dominance of several cities, and establish the peasant family system there; Some schools of Taoism, Yang and Zhu that have joined the WTO can also engage in their own systems in some places; Some anarchist factions that want to be able to make small countries and widows, return to nature, and have the right to enforce natural law under humane law, can also be divided into several cities.
Only the retro Confucianism may not be able to share the territory, because this time the popular rebellion can no longer accept the separation of the retro and the rituals, if they can reform themselves, it may be possible, but now it seems that they are not likely.
On the basis of recognizing some of the "synonyms" that sought common ground while reserving differences in the great debate four years ago, they went their own way, and on the premise of the same great righteousness, the small meanings were different, so that the Song State continued to exist, and as a test field for a hundred schools, it was absolutely impossible for the Song State to centralize power.
It is said that the gentleman is friends but not the party, but now there are few orthodox nobles and gentlemen left, and each family has its own interests.
Under this assumption, Shi Shi roughly stated his thoughts.
Someone said: "In this case, you need to consult with the rest of the hundred families." I believe that they must be willing, whether it is Yang Zhu or Taoism, there are parts that have joined the WTO, not to mention farmers. It's not that hard to do. ”
"Many schools of thought are active in the Song Kingdom, and there are many local believers, all of whom are scholars, and their ability to govern a place is at least no less than that of those nobles, and it is easier to adapt to the new situation, most of them are anti-ritual laws and anti-saints."
At this time, the meaning of believers is not just believers, but it means that these are some literate people who have the ability to govern the country.
If you don't have money, you can't read and write, if you don't know how to read, you can't know the difference between morality and righteousness, and if you don't know the difference between morality, it's impossible to choose Taoism, agriculture, Confucianism, Yang and other schools.
The farmers at the bottom, they don't really know the difference.
Since the nobles could rule the fiefdom with their disciples and retainers, in fact, it was not difficult for a school to rely on the disciples of the school to rule a city and a city, at least better than those nobles in the old era.
Another said: "It's just that the peasant school should pay attention to their idea of true equality...... Too fanciful, and ...... Definitely not suitable for Shangqiu and Surabaya areas. ”
Shi Dao: "Except for the landless people in Shangqiu City, they do not have many believers in the rich cities in Shangqiu and Surabaya, and they have no popular base. ”
"However, the fiefdoms of some nobles are just right for them."
"One is that the land there really needs to be divided equally, and the other is that some nobles rely on their power to make money by running business with their retainers and dependent merchants, and the people are indeed angry, angry with both the nobles and the merchants, and their idea of a good price will be recognized by the people there."
"But if it's Taoyi, where do you see where the farmer is recognized? I see it this way, since Taoism has a school of inaction, I think it can be arranged in the nearest area close to Sishang. ”
"First, industry and commerce are developed there, second, the land has already been bought and sold privately, and third, the consequence of doing nothing will inevitably be that the bigger the bigger, the smaller the smaller, we can respond in Sishang, or we can continue to annex the land there, and continue to provide us with grain, cotton, and population."
Everyone also felt that it was feasible, which was equivalent to pulling all schools except the retro school of true Confucianism into the Song Kingdom.
Yang Zhu, Mojia and Confucianism themselves are the world's scholars, plus the rest of the hundred schools, which is equivalent to most of the world's scholars, and the rest are those scholars who have no moral concepts.
Asking farmers to go to the vicinity of Surabaya and Taoyi to engage in "real equality" is going to be a big thing, and it is doomed to be impossible.
The most important thing is that it is very unfavorable to Sishang, and the agriculture of the Song region, which is close to Sishang, has basically completed the germ of management and merger, and the merger system and the management system of large tracts of land are more efficient than those of yeoman farmers, and there is the demand of Sishang, an industrially and commercially developed area, and an inseparable common market has been formed: there is no difference whether it is under the direct jurisdiction of the Mohists or not.
The idea of true equality of the peasants is a helpless fantasy, a fantasy of the landless peasants, because as the lowest level, they are subjected to the exploitation of the aristocracy and the exploitation of the merchants, so they hope that the sages will work together with the people, and they also fantasize that the market will be the same.
For some fiefdoms that were heavily exploited by the aristocracy, this doctrine had both a basis of public opinion and a kind of emancipation of the productive forces.
As for the arrangement of the farmers, Shi Dao: "I think they can be arranged close to the border of Wei and Chu. ”
"In the future, if something happens, it will also be an important help for us, unless Wei Chudu acknowledges the governance of the peasants there, does not take back the land from the farmers, and does not collect taxes."
This is an obvious move to tie the peasant family and the Mo family together, but even if it is so obvious, presumably the peasant family will accept it, because they have never had the opportunity to display their ambitions and morals, at most it is a utopia of labor exchange such as farming and eating and working together in the Chu State.
It's also extremely easy to operate.
Once the Mo family sent troops and quickly swept away the power of the Song nobles, the situation in the Song State would inevitably look extremely stable before the troops were withdrawn.
But in reality, once the withdrawal is a power vacuum.
Dai Cong did not have enough officials to go directly under the government; The Song State must first argue for the Great Righteous Constitution for a period of time; The administrators who were originally within the jurisdiction of the nobility either fled or were captured...... This is an opportunity for the activities of the various schools.
When the situation is stable, Dai Cong will find that the scope of his jurisdiction is actually so large, and local forces in various places will be restricted, and he will have nothing to do at that time.
