Section 687 Plain Law (2)
After reading the entire "Flat Law", Zhou Yafu gently closed the scroll, closed his eyes, and began to think.
In total, this "Plain Law" is one hundred and twenty-seven laws.
About one-third of the clauses are further constraints and controls on merchants and their families.
It is very much in line with the voices and requirements of the current public opinion and ideological circles.
However, many of the remaining provisions are very controversial.
However, it is only a controversy.
As the prime minister, Zhou Yafu is too aware of the ideology and political stance of the ministers and nobles who are now in this Xuanshu Palace.
Take, for example, the preferential treatment and strengthening of the status of craftsmen.
'Tricks and tricks' have always been opposed by traditional scholars and aristocrats.
Shang Shu's sentence "The king of the Xuan Dynasty is a strange and skillful man, so as to please the woman", almost put the craftsmen and technocrats into a separate volume.
It's just that since the Warring States period, etiquette and music have collapsed, and the nations have long done everything in order to survive and develop.
Not to mention the strange tricks, especially Zhao Wuling King played a Hufu riding and shooting, and no one criticized it, but on the contrary, it was respected in the history books, and it was considered a timely reform.
Up to now, among the government and the opposition, realism and pragmatism are also dominant.
As long as there are benefits, it can bring progress and development.
Don't talk about tricks and tricks, the wine pond meat forest will also play for you!
What's more, now, since the revival of the Mohists, the trend of thought in Guanzhong folk 'wealth is the first, and the noble is secondary, that is, you can learn a skill to stand on your own' has been flooded instantly.
There are even descendants of the Liehou and even the descendants of the Shizi who have become apprentices of the Mo family, and have mastered the skills of craftsmen who were despised and ignored in the past.
Shaofu Ling Taohou Liu She even openly built a 'Luban Garden' in Chang'an, specially accepting commoner children to learn various carpenter and blacksmith skills.
I didn't see the courtier or the scholar either. Dare to go to Naluban Garden to block the door.
As for the Mo family ink scholars who blatantly carried out various technical research and instrument inventions in Shanglin Yuan, they directly received the full support of the high-level Han family, including the Son of Heaven.
The contemporary ruler of the Mo family. You can enter and exit Weiyang Palace at any time and meet the Son of Heaven.
In such a situation. Even the Confucians, who hate and despise craftsmen and technology the most, can only pinch their noses and act as if they can't see all this.
Since the revival of the Mohist has become a fact.
Then, the status of the craftsman will naturally be improved, and it is even predictable that it will become a respected profession like scholars and literati.
In the context of such a social situation and public opinion. Zhou Yafu knows that no fool will dare to jump out, go against the trend of the times, and go to the left with the public's opinion to forcibly block these terms.
The only thing that can be used for the ministers to make things difficult and make a fuss is probably only two or three.
Zhou Yafu looked up and looked at Shang Shu, who was close to the Son of Heaven, bowing his head and bowing his body, making Ji Di and Shang Shu look different.
Zhou Yafu couldn't help but smile a little: "With the assistance of these two people, Your Majesty will naturally feel the bottom line and position of Confucianism and Huang Laoxue clearly......"
At this time, Jiuqing and courtiers with more than 2,000 stones. I've basically read all the terms.
Yushi Dafu Chao Cuo, Tingwei Zhao Yu, Shaofu Liu She, Taifu Zhou Zuoche and Zhijin Wuzhi Du and Taichang Dou Pengzu. Of course, I knew with my eyes closed that I should raise my limbs to support it.
As for Da Honglu Gongsun Kun Xie and Zongzheng Liu Li, it was too late to kneel and lick. It is even more impossible to object.
However, the big farmer is a little nervous, and wants to jump out and brush up on a wave of existence.
It's just that. Zhi Budo looked at his colleagues near the left, and weighed his own weight. Decidely coaxed.
Wei Wei Li Guang is now thinking about how to escape from Chang'an and return to the side plug with the roar of war horses and the iron horse of Jin Ge to realize the value of his life.
He didn't have the heart and idea at all, and he was in this government.
In the past few years as an official in Chang'an, Li Guang has understood - I am a military general, and I am really not suitable for playing politics, maybe one day I will be fooled into the pit by those old foxes.
On the contrary, it was Li Guang's brother Li Cai, who was eager to try and wanted to do something.
It's just that today's Li Cai has a very low status in this court, and if he doesn't even get permission, he doesn't even have the right to speak.
Among the nine Qings, only the general Dou Ying was full of self-confidence and wanted to leave his mark at this Shuowang court.
After waiting for a while, when Dou Ying found out that Prime Minister Zhou Yafu had made a mistake with Doctor Yu Shi, and did not want to stand up and say something.
Dou Ying decisively seized this opportunity, stood up first, and bowed out: "Please play Your Majesty!" β
When Liu Che heard this, he saw that it was Dou Ying, twisted his brows slightly, and said, "I would like to hear the general's opinion!" β
For Dou Ying, Liu Che is really a little scared now.
This cousin who was born with a golden key is sometimes naΓ―ve and terrifying.
In his previous life, Liu Che's cheap father once commented on Dou Ying: Wei Qizhi is complacent, easy, difficult to be like, and serious.
It means that Wei Qihou is just a pampered child, his life is too smooth, and he can't let him take on a heavy responsibility, let alone serve as prime minister, because he is impetuous and can't be serious.
Tai Shi Gong also commented on him: Wei Qicheng doesn't know how the times change.
Later, Dou Ying was killed by Tian Wei, and the naivety and conceit of Dou Ying's personality and the self-confidence of the mystery accounted for great responsibility.
As for now?
Since Wu Chu was pacified, Dou Ying began to swell.
What's even more troublesome is that the current Dou Ying has not even encountered the setbacks that Liu Che encountered in his previous life.
In addition, behind him, there are Zhang Wuhou Dou Guangguo and Empress Dowager Dou, two hard backers who can't be harder, no matter what basket he pokes out or says something wrong, someone will help him wipe his ass and settle it.
This makes Dou Ying's expansion rate far greater than in his previous life.
What's even more troublesome is that Dou Ying is a good Confucian, and a large number of Confucian scholars and literati have moved closer to him.
Among the flattery and sycophants of the Confucian scholars, in the last year or two. Dou Ying has become a little unfamiliar with Liu Che.
"Your Majesty, the minister has just read the decrees of the "Laws of Peace". Shang Shu Ling and the Imperial Shi Dafu, Tingwei and Shaofu, the laws and decrees drafted. In Chen's opinion, it can already be called the supreme good......" Dou Ying said after sorting out his words.
This is a necessary pass before the Han minister's performance, unless you plan to completely tear your face with other colleagues, just like the confrontation between Yuan Ang and Chao Cuo in the past, otherwise, no matter how much you oppose and hate the opinions and suggestions of a certain minister, you have to save enough face for the other party.
What's more, Dou Ying has always prided himself on being elegant and a gentleman.
The gentleman broke off his friendship. If there are no bad words, let alone political differences?
However, this is just Dou Ying's own wishful thinking.
Seeing Dou Ying jumping out, Doctor Yu Shi was wrong, and first showed his displeasure.
Chao Cuo even wondered in his heart: What do you want?
Although this "Ping Law" was not drafted by Chao Cuo, it was also reviewed and agreed by Chao Cuo.
Dou Ying jumped out now, wouldn't he slap him in the face of the imperial historian in front of the ministers?
If what Dou Ying said was not approved by the Son of Heaven and other colleagues, then that's fine.
If it is what Dou Ying said. has been recognized, isn't that to tell the world that he is wrong with Tingwei Zhao Yu, Shaofu Liu She and Shangshu Ling Jidi. Shang Shu Cheng Yan Yi and a large number of their own subordinate officials are all waste dim sum, and they can't even play with the matter of making laws, leaving a big loophole?
Stepping on someone else's body. Brush your own prestige, and the person who brushes her prestige is cool. But, those who are stepped on. What do you think in your heart?
What's more, from the point of view of Chao Cuo's position, Dou Ying jumped out so bluntly, completely not giving face to himself as one of the three princes!
Otherwise, if Dou Ying can respect himself a little, then he has an opinion, and he can go down to the back and communicate with himself, the imperial historian.
At the same time, in the past, Dou Ying and Yuan Ang were very close, and even intersected with each other.
The combination of new and old hatreds made Chao Mistake's teeth clumble.
Tingwei Zhao Yu and Shaofu Liu She are not good men and women.
They looked at Dou Ying, although they didn't have such a big reaction as Chao Cuo, but in their hearts, they were also angry.
Between the monarchs and ministers of the Han family, it is said that 'the general will not be humiliated', and between the nine Qings, it is even more necessary to talk about a 'general harmony'.
Specific to affairs, between Jiuqing, no matter how much they have opinions on each other's policies, as the boss of the department, they will not directly jump out to sing against each other, and send a little brother to the stage to talk about the problem.
Only after the younger brother came on the field and showed his attitude, and the other party also sent the younger brother to refute it, as the boss, he could make his debut.
And now Dou Ying doesn't breathe, and second, he doesn't send his younger brother, and he goes into battle shirtless.
It's simply ignoring the rules of the game and making it ugly for yourself and others with pure heart.
It's not an exaggeration to even use the sentence 'no one in sight'.
However, Ji Di and Yan Yi, although they feel that there are some problems, they have too little political experience in the end, and they haven't thought of this layer yet.
Dou Ying completely ignored the eyes of Chao Cuo, Zhao Yu, and Liu She who could eat people, he felt very good about himself at the moment, and even felt that he had returned to the night a few years ago, advising the first emperor and preventing King Liang from peeking at the storage position.
Of course, Dou Ying had no objection to the provisions that strengthened the social status of craftsmen and encouraged the common people to learn techniques, and he did not dare to have objections.
The reason is simple.
Although traditionally, all schools of thought are very disgusted by strange tricks.
However, even Confucianism, which hates craftsmen and technology the most, does not dare to put all craftsmen and technocrats into a separate book at this time, and slander and smear them.
Nowadays, on the issue of the status of technocrats and craftsmen, the caliber of the hundred schools of thought is the same - to control the art with the Tao.
Of course, when it comes to each school, it is necessary to use one's own way to control the arts.
The Legalists talk about 'teaching the best of the earth', so they are very welcome to all technologies and craftsmen that can enhance production and improve efficiency, but if you want to spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars and resources to build a microscope and look at the microcosm, then the Legalists will come to sanction you.
The Mohists advocate hard-working, beneficial to the world, regardless of technology, as long as it is beneficial to the world and the people, they are very interested and very fond of it. But if you want to spend countless resources and money just to build a luxurious garden or build an air conditioner, then the Mo family will definitely spray your face with saliva, and then brush your sleeves away.
Huang Laoxue can be regarded as the most conservative in the field of technology and craftsmen, they advocate retro, back to the simple era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, so whether you want to build a steam engine or a time machine, as long as you don't break the law and don't violate public order and good customs, then they don't want to care, and they don't want to care.
As for Confucianism, Confucius said, 'Ambition is in the Tao, according to virtue, according to benevolence, and in art', judging from these words, Confucianism does not seem to discriminate against craftsmen and technology, but the requirements are a little high.
But then, the phrase that the gentleman is righteous and the villain is profitable has put all the craftsmen and craftsmen who try to make a profit into another book of strange skills.
But Confucianism is not a pure idealist.
People live in this world, and they have to be flexible.
Therefore, Confucianism has its own standards for determining whether craftsmen and techniques are strange and ingenious.
In general, it is outside the six mansions, and it is full of strange tricks.
What are the Six Mansions? Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, grain.
That is, smelting, casting, carpentering, agriculture, farming, land reclamation, and the technology and craftsmen related to precious millet.
Therefore, what Dou Ying wants to oppose are those clauses that clearly want to improve the social and political status of certain merchants.
Dou Ying first organized the language, and then continued: "It's just that, in the humble opinion of the ministers, some clauses, that is, are not in line with the government of the previous king, let alone the rule of the first emperor, may Your Majesty stop!" β
Before Liu Che could speak, Dou Ying felt very good about himself and continued: "For example, the twenty-seventh order of Pinglu, I hope that Your Majesty will let him let tens of millions of people enter the official office and be able to write a decree on politics. From the perspective of the ministers, if this is the case, in the long run, the Jia people will be arrogant, the place can not be controlled, and the court is helpless! β
Liu Che listened and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Are you the only one who is smart, and everyone else is stupid, and you can't see the trickiness of this one????? β
In fact, when this article was drafted, both Chao Cuo and Yan Yi raised very strong objections.
However, Liu Che relied on his identity as the Son of Heaven and was pressed down alive.
The reason is very simple, Liu Che needs this law to prepare for the development of the bourgeoisie in the future.
Without this rule, the owners of large smelting and manufacturing plants, with a lot of resources, money, and countless employees, would have no social status and no means of communication with the top.
What if they can't think about it and want to rebel?
The Celestial Empire knows that let big capitalists and big business owners enter the CPPCC and become deputies to the National People's Congress, and appease these giants through bribery and co-optation.
And even more so nowadays!
In Liu Che's plan, in the future, big capitalists and big business owners will be the biggest targets of the Han government.
Liu Che was still fighting, as long as there was no very strong opposition in Jiuqing, then he would use the privilege of the Son of Heaven to forcibly pass this article - as long as Jiuqing had no objections, no matter how happy the doctors were, Liu Che could also tell the world with a cheeky face: The laws and decrees of the "Ping Law" were unanimously supported by 99.9 percent of the ministers of the government and the opposition.
At that time, even if the doctor and the scholars in the opposition don't want to die and jump out to oppose it publicly, Liu Che can make him mentally ill, and then tell others: This is the 0.1 percent.
What a wonderful and perfect script!
It's a pity that he was ruined by Dou Ying's stunned youth! (To be continued.) )
