Section 557 Changes in Confucianism (2)
This school, which gradually began to flourish in Luoyang, was a variant of the Simeng school.
To put it simply, it is to take the ideas and theories of Zisi and Mencius, and after some refinement, they will appear on the stage.
The core theory of the whole school is the people.
As for Jun Qing?
I'm sorry, no one mentioned it.
At the beginning, the major families and Haoqiang in Luoyang did not have a good impression of this school.
The people?
Nima, do you want to pee on the head of a labor-managed riding with mud legs?
There are no doors!
Just those leaders and common people, obediently exploited and enslaved by us elegant people!
However, after Zhidu took office, all the knives were cut at the bodies of the powerful and wealthy businessmen and big landowners.
In the face of the 'tyranny' set off by the Legalists, all the powerful people are trembling.
At this time, a few smart people began to pick up the 'people's noble' idea that had been abandoned.
Then, more people came back to their senses.
As the saying goes, in the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Harlemuts.
The so-called ideology, the so-called political concept, the so-called ideology, in fact, depends entirely on how you interpret it.
This is like the Sun Empire of Jin Sanfat in later generations, which was able to find the theoretical basis and conclusion that the Jin dynasty ruled for generations from generation to generation, and the theme and thought were glorious and correct......
Since the people are noble, of course, the ruler cannot arbitrarily formulate laws according to his own preferences and treat the people coldly.
If you want to 'love the people like a son', then you must treat the 'people' with gentle means.
Fight and kill casually, and kill, punish and behead at every turn. That's unacceptable!
Don't you hear that it used to be in Tang Yu. Portrait and the people do not commit it?
The ruling class just has to set a good example, the people below. Naturally, you will be impressed by the power of example, and then be gentle and humble, and benefit your neighbors?
These clever people, who had come back to their senses, immediately expressed 120,000 enthusiasm for the school that had been improved from the Simeng school.
Not only ordered their own children, but all of them should learn the idea of 'people's nobility' and seriously review the past gains and losses.
He even went down in person and shouted for the idea of 'people's nobles'.
After all, the edict was issued more than once today. Clearly show the world: born to steam the people, for which the king is placed to nourish it.
In this case, the 'people's preciousness' is a matter of course.
Magistrates and law enforcement agencies should fully grasp the meaning of the Son of Heaven, strengthen their study, and implement the spirit of the Son of Heaven's edict.
What's more interesting is that the county guard of Henan County, known as the goshawk's Zhidu, seems to have really retreated and stopped in front of this 'people's noble' thought.
Those who have a heart soon find out: those who have accepted the idea of 'people's nobility'. And regard it as a family of family learning, the Henan County Government, and there is no crime in autumn!
So, everyone changed the door wall one after another. Vigorously tout and advocate the way of 'people's nobility'.
With the participation of these powerful people, wealthy businessmen and bureaucrats.
This school of thought that was unknown in the past, and did not even have a name. Immediately ushered in unprecedented development and expansion.
Countless local celebrities and social elites have joined one after another. In addition, the ideas and theories of this school of thought have been 'guided' and 'expanded'.
These people. Of course, not dry rice.
The theoretical level and knowledge base are not comparable to those poor acids who worked behind closed doors in the past.
Soon, the elementary school school completed the skinning.
The leaders and leaders have been replaced by local celebrities in Henan County.
Even, several princes from Henan, and even Hanoi and Hedong, also stood up and said that they liked the theory of 'people's nobles' very much.
Several leaders of the Guliang faction, a major faction of Confucianism that has always been active in Henan and Hanoi, also stood up and said that the 'Mingui Thought' is in line with the general righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period.
At this point, this primary school school immediately became the prominent school of Henan County.
It has become fashionable and trendy.
If an intellectual or a scholar has not read the works and theoretical books of this school, he will be laughed at when he goes out.
The white paper from Chang'an and the printing workshop under the Shaofu in the East Palace of Luoyang laid a solid foundation for the rapid promotion and dissemination of its own theories by this school.
In just half a month, this school has its own name.
The number is 'Heavy Folk Studies'.
Its related theoretical works and ideological expositions have also rapidly changed from a situation of almost zero a month ago to a university school with dozens of related books and hundreds of articles expounding the importance of 'people' from different angles.
These people went around and around, talking about the names of the three generations of antiquity, the virtuous kings of the past dynasties and the Duke of Zhou, and talked about 'people-oriented' and 'the most expensive people'.
Those who don't know still think that wolves don't eat sheep anymore and eat grass instead.
However, Zhi Du saw all this very clearly.
He took the freshly baked and just printed "Chongmin faction" discourse in his hand, and sneered twice: "Confucianism is a lot of flowers, this goes around, it's not just a sentence: we are very important, we are very useful, we are the cornerstone of the country, you have to be good to us!" ”
"In my opinion, these people are all of the five beetles!" Zhi Du gritted his teeth and said, "I really don't know why Your Majesty deliberately asked me to pay attention to them, and to show mercy to my subordinates......"
"Duke Ming just needs to act according to His Majesty's orders......" Beside Zhidu, a scholar wearing a Confucian crown bowed his head and smiled: "Your Majesty has seen thousands of miles, presumably the holy will has its own plan......"
If there is a member of the Chongmin faction here, he will definitely be able to recognize it at a glance, this person is the initiator and leader of the previous Chongmin Study, Yang Wei, the son of the Yang family in Luoyang, who went home to study after falling off the list from Chang'an last year, and planned to fight again in the coming year.
When Zhi Du heard this, he nodded helplessly, picked up the pen, signed on an official document, and then took out the seal of the county guard, stamped the letter, called a cronie, and ordered: "Go, post it under the exposed cloth all over the city!" ”
"No!" The man took the command and departed.
Soon, under the exposed cloth of various prosperous areas in Luoyang City, there was an official document of Henan County guarding the yamen.
The appearance of this official document immediately detonated the enthusiasm of the major tycoons and landlords in the entire Henan county for 'valuing the people's studies'.
In this official document, Barbara first said a few words about the various tensions and worries of the county guards since they were ordered by the Son of Heaven to hunt Henan, for fear that they would not do a good job and have a negative trust from the Son of Heaven.
Then he changed his mind and mentioned several edicts that emphasized 'living the people' and 'raising the people' before today's son.
These edicts, of course, are very good.
And he also noticed that the 'people's noble' idea is currently prevalent in Shilin in Henan County.
Zhi Du believes that this idea is very good and worth advocating, the people of the world are all subjects of the Son of Heaven, as a county guard, his responsibility is to take care of and govern the people of the Son of Heaven, so that everyone can live a good life, how to do it.
In the end, Zhidu showed his fox tail.
At the end of the official document, Zhi Du said: benevolence is not far away, and righteousness is not difficult. Although today, although Dengfeng, the mountains and forests and ponds are shared with the people. However, last year's drought and this year's floods have caused thousands of displaced people, spring ploughing is imminent, and people who lack grain, farm tools and fields abound. Your Majesty is benevolent, although I have ordered me to go down to the grain of Ao Cang, and take the iron of the Shaofu for it, however, the government acts, it is inevitable to be negligent, and I know that the virtuous people in the county are all thinking of 'valuing the people', and I am going down to tell the elders in the county: Where there are officials and gentry, and those who take money to help the people, each county has a division, and all the money and grain consumed are all cited in the paperwork and counted in the bamboo silk, and I will see all the money and property at the end of the year, and the part of the money and property consumed will be filled into the calculation of wealth, and all taxes will be exempted from the ministry.
After reading this official document, the hearts of the big families in the entire Henan County were dripping blood.
Obviously, this goshawk, this is changing the law to force everyone to contribute money and food, and help the disaster victims and the poor.
Although this part of the expenditure, part of the tax can be offset.
But after all, not all expenses can be used to offset taxes.
It's just that the tax amount of this part of the money and food can be deducted from the total amount when the tax is collected.
In other words, the money and grain spent, 10,000 yuan, can be offset by taxes, in fact, only a few hundred dollars.
It's just a consolation prize.
But no one dared to disobey and not bleed.
Everyone is not stupid, and they can see it very clearly.
The meaning of the county guard yamen is too clear: don't you shout that 'the people are noble' and that you should put the people first?
Then make a show for me.
If it's just a mouthpiece, then don't blame me for being ruthless!
This is tantamount to the government forcing them to pay money to eliminate the disaster, and then, this benefit and reputation were all taken away by the government.
This made countless people scold bitterly, and at the same time, they had to prepare to take out some money and food to help the victims, and even exempt some poor people from paying land rent this year.
But there are also smart people who see opportunities, benefits, and the future.
Especially those who are big businessmen themselves. (To be continued......)
