Chapter 37 Dry Law
"Zi Wei descends to earth and revive the universe!" At this time, no one started, which immediately triggered the echo of most people, like a tsunami. Noting the fanaticism on the faces of the people below, Zhang Hao knew that through today's incident, his foundation in Wuxian was immediately stabilized.
Some people who are clear-headed in the gentry and wealthy families below noticed this situation. How to deal with such a magical existence suddenly became a problem for these gentry and wealthy families.
Zhang Hao raised his hand and the howling sound stopped. It can be seen how high Zhang Hao's prestige became in the hearts of these people in just a short time.
"I will issue a law of cadre after that, which is a law that will be done in the future. I will tell you some clauses that are of great importance to you. You must remember them firmly in order to protect your rights.
I promised that under my rule, no one can rob your property, whether it is a clever or a plunder. As long as you work hard, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. Even if you have no ability to work, there is no need to worry, the government will provide pensions!
Now I ask my Fa Cao Man Benning to tell you about it.”
Man Chong climbed onto the platform at this time, his handsome face was blushing with excitement. Since Zhang Hao captured Wujun and learned that Zhang Hao was going to implement the rules, Man Chong went directly to Zhang Hao's mansion to recommend himself.
Man Chong advocated the legal system, which coincided with Zhang Hao. Gan Rule was a work that he spent a lot of effort and was extremely satisfied with. When he learned that such a law would be implemented, Man Chong didn't care about the big man or big man, and directly joined Zhang Hao's command. He mainly presided over the promotion of Gan Rule and the judiciary.
After calmly walking, Man Chong arrived on the stage. He saluted Zhang Hao, who was sitting on a big chair. Then he began to publicize legal provisions closely related to the people to the audience. He also used a lapel microphone and spoke without any effort.
Man Chong's words were clearly spoken, which made the people hear it clearly. The gentry below couldn't help but change his expression.
The most important legal provision is the issue of people's land.
Zhang Hao has learned carefully that land development in this era is not sufficient, not to mention the tens of millions of people from the Han Dynasty, no matter how many of them are, they can tolerate it. And the Chinese people are the most diligent. Why has no one reclaimed wasteland in recent years?
The main thing is to reclaim wasteland. Because of the lack of agricultural technology, it is very hard to rent oxen. In addition, the taxation is heavy, so there is no gain in the hard work of a year.
If you encounter any accidents, such as illness, the land will often be mortgaged to the gentry and wealthy families, and you will eventually gain nothing.
In addition, the wasteland has just begun to be planted, and there is not much harvest at all. The family cannot bear the consumption without some savings. Often, the land that has finally been reclaimed mature, has been seized by the landlords and wealthy families through various methods.
Because there are too many such examples and the world is not peaceful, the people have no interest in reclamation.
But now Zhang Hao has passed legislation and policies such as government subsidies and pensions to ensure the interests of the people.
Of course, this will inevitably add a great burden to the government. But Zhang Hao didn't care. If he got advanced agricultural technology and high-yield varieties from modern times and promoted military farming, these burdens could be avoided.
The people are not so greedy. Zhang Hao promotes the law to make them feel awe. As long as they are willing to work hard, it is not very difficult for the people to live and work in peace and contentment through the technology taught by the government, along with the high-yield and good varieties.
In the final analysis, production technology is the biggest killer.
Zhang Hao's actions have already given him a high credibility in the minds of the people, so listening to the law announced by Man Chong, many smart people cheered and even began to discuss going to reclaim the land immediately after the spring is ready.
Although the government will rent oxen and better farm tools, many people are afraid that they will disappear if they go too late.
The gentry below also heard it very seriously, and at first they were worried that Zhang Hao would attack the gentry directly. But seeing his magical means and the various measures announced by the Dharma Master above, especially the high-yield and good varieties mentioned, their worries were eliminated a lot.
Others include if farmers want to sell grain, the government will provide a minimum price to protect the interests of the people, and ensure that people can have food and clothing without worries if they work hard.
At the same time, the people's land belongs to them, and outsiders cannot rob them. If the people encounter an emergency, they can apply for mortgage to the government. They will still farm and repay the money, but the land still belongs to them.
Some of the details are also summarized by Zhang Hao based on the insights of later generations and the laws.
After the law related to agriculture was finished, Man Chong began to announce some other important laws, first of all, a more important one was to target the gentry, limiting the number of guards and doormen of the gentry family. This article immediately caused an uproar among the children of the gentry below.
Since the Han Dynasty, the court has always been relatively generous to the gentry. In addition, in recent years, the world has not been peaceful. In order to protect their own property and security, the gentry families have recruited many guards. Now Zhang Hao is preparing to directly eliminate these unstable factors, which immediately makes the gentry present feel uneasy.
But Zhang Hao ignored their ideas, which was an inevitable means of implementation.
Man Chong then announced the punishment for violations. In the most serious cases, he would directly punish the nine clans. And Man Chong specifically emphasized that protecting the safety of the people is the responsibility of the government. If the government cannot do it, then punish the officials.
The gentry's disciples and guards will give them land. If they are not used to farming, they can join the army or even do other tasks.
What Man Chong finally announced was all kinds of superior treatment for soldiers. There was a special land that was responsible for farming, and the harvest was completely sold to soldiers.
After retirement, you can also receive a large sum of money and food, and you will receive different treatments based on the contribution you have made. Even the highest level of treatment is that you do not kneel down when you see the emperor or not worship the official, and you can directly invite the emperor to see him. Any problems you encounter can be solved by the government.
There are also tax reduction and exemption policies for soldiers, etc.
However, Zhang Hao tried his best to improve the social status of soldiers. After all, the status of warriors is too low now.
With such treatment, there are naturally extremely high requirements. Using strict military laws to constrain and highly honor to respect is to build an army that is eager to fight and fulfill its duties.
It is absolutely necessary that Man Chong loudly publicizes the statement that "the responsibility of a soldier is to defend his country."
Because of these words, many servants and guards of wealthy gentry families moved, and made Zhang Hao's soldiers feel a sense of honor. It is really a good thing to be a soldier. Not only is the treatment good, it is easy to make contributions and can be reincarnated in the heavens. If you are lucky, you may even be a god.
In this way, even injuries or even death are nothing.
The spirit of the soldiers around him became higher and higher, and his chest was raised high.
Finally, Man Chong signaled, and the soldiers immediately brought more than a dozen prisoners. The people below could see clearly through the curtains. Many people recognized who these people were. Among them were the prefect of Wu County, the heads of several aristocratic families in the county and the main senior management.
Man Chong began to announce the guilt of these people. The prefect of Wujun was not a good person, and there were not many gentry families clean. Even if they did not mention their collusion to attack Zhang Hao's manor, it would be enough to punish them.
In the end, the blood of these previous upper classes was directly executed on the high platform and deepened the impression on everyone present today.
The people naturally cheered and cheered about this, while some wealthy families had many concerns and worries.
At this point, Zhang Hao's specially prepared "performance" came to an end. The effect was unparalleled!
