Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Chapter 60

Xu Chun said he had something to do, but he showed up during the lecture the next day, sitting not far behind Fang Yuanzhi.

Shang Ren tells the story of "Tu Mu Li Xin".

"The order has not yet been issued, and fearing that the people will not believe it, a tree of three feet is erected at the south gate of the city, and the people who can move to the north gate will be given ten gold. Those who give fifty gold! "If a person migrates, he will give fifty gold. It is an order."

"The meaning of this is that after the decree was enacted, it was not announced immediately. Wei Yang was worried that the people would not believe it, so he erected a three-foot-high wooden pole in the market at the south gate of the capital, and ordered that if anyone can put the wooden pole Move the rod to the north gate, and reward ten gold.

People find it strange, but no one dares to move it.So he ordered: "Whoever can move to the north gate will be given fifty gold!" There was a man who moved the wooden pole to the north gate, and immediately rewarded him with fifty gold.Only then did the decree for the reform be announced. "

"Looking at history, you can't just look at what was written. You should also look at what was not written. Those things that were not written are more important."

"Let's first take a look at the content of Shang Yang's reform. As I said last time, there are four main points:
[-]. To protect the interests of the common people by eliminating the privileged classes such as princes and nobles;

[-]. Encourage farming to increase social wealth, arrest the whole family of those who do not engage in farming as slaves, and reduce the waste of human resources;

Three, promote national prestige through military exploits;
Fourth, through the link between military exploits and Juelu, to provide channels for the people to rise. "

"These are laws that benefit the country and the people, especially the common people. But it is not good for the privileged.

The reform is actually a redistribution of interests, moving the cake of vested interest groups and distributing it to the working people.This is something that offends people.

Offended is the existing vested interest groups - the privileged class.

What did Shang Yang do in order to implement the decree?
The method given by Shang Yang is to "get trust by standing upright", directly bypassing the privileged class, and gaining the trust and support of a large number of bottom-level people for the reform. "

At this point, Shang Ren glanced at the students who were listening, and asked with a smile: "Historical records record this history with very few words. But there are many ways."

"First of all, why was the decree not announced immediately after it was enacted? Can anyone answer?"

A student replied: "I am worried that someone will leak the secret and slander the law."

"That's right. In fact, it is to prevent the people from discussing laws and regulations in private, to prevent public opinion from misinformation, to form public opinion resistance, to prevent people from causing mass panic because they do not understand laws and regulations, to prevent blind opposition to laws and regulations, and to prevent the privileged class from distorting laws and regulations to mislead the people."

"Then, the second question, why is Shang Yang worried that the people will not believe it? Has anyone answered?"

"Because most of the people are ignorant and ignorant." The voice that answered was somewhat familiar, and Fang Yuanzhi recognized that it was Zhang Ze's voice.

"That's a good point. Since the people are ignorant, first use their ignorance to gain their trust and support. This is the meaning of 'Tumu Lixin'."

"No matter how good the decree is, if it cannot be effectively implemented, it will be a dream after all. To implement the decree, it is necessary to unite with the majority and obtain the support of the majority."

Fang Yuanzhi thought of what a great man in his previous life said: "The few obey the majority."

And "Which are our enemies and which are our friends."

In the final analysis, this trust is the most difficult.

Take her and Xu Chun. At first, because of lack of trust, Xu Chun forced her to kiss her. She only thought he was a disciple.

But now, after going through life and death disasters together many times and testing each other, she trusts him and makes love with him.

This is true whether it is between a man and a woman, a friend, or even a business partner.

Without trust, how can we talk about other things?

After the class ended, Xu Chun didn't leave immediately, instead he took Fang Yuanzhi to meet Shang Ren.

Seeing the two of them appearing together, Shang Ren understood, Fu Xu smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi is justifiable for being eager to learn and improve. Wang Chuan also came to listen to the lecture, which is beyond my expectation."

Wangchuan is Xu Chun's word.

"Listening to the old man's words is better than reading ten years of books."

Shang Ren ordered the boy to serve tea, and after the boy stepped back, he glanced at Fang Yuanzhi, pondered for a moment, and said, "How is the situation in the capital?"

Fang Yuanzhi wanted to get up and leave, but Xu Chun pressed her down, and said slowly in a low voice: "Peng Shige is going back to his hometown to visit relatives, the eldest prince passed away in November, and Li Xiange is old, his life is at stake."

Even Shang Ren, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, was also shocked!
Xu Chun said indifferently: "On the first day of June last year, the emperor drew a picture of "A Group of Harmony", which said that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism should live in harmony, but actually it was about the harmonious coexistence of Emperor Jingtai, Yingzong, and the three parties represented by himself.

But now the court forces, how can there be only three parties?
The noble relatives of Huichang Marquis Sun's family have the military power in Beijing and the harem.

In terms of literati, the Northern School of literati represented by Mr. Li Xiange is currently the most powerful.The Jiangxi literati represented by Peng Shi are the fence-sitting faction.

Now the fight between the Sun family and Li Xian is in full swing, if we operate properly, there is hope for Uncle to recover. "

Shang Ren showed surprise, and after pondering for a moment, said: "I'm afraid this matter will not be easy."

Xu Chun said with a smile: "Sima Xun is the right-hand man of today's emperor, and he is also the emperor's advisor to the emperor.

Sima Xun's wife is Li Xian's daughter.Li Xian is a staunch supporter of Emperor Zhu Jianshen.

But Sun Jizong was different.Today's prince is very thoughtful, restoring Yu Qian's reputation, and supporting Zhu Yong and others, he is not as easy to control as other young princes.

Concubine Wan Gui was also arranged by the Sun family for the emperor, and it would be very beneficial for the Sun family to replace the emperor with the eldest prince she gave birth to.

Ever since the eldest prince was born in February, the Sun family has been ready to move.

Li Xiange's old father passed away in March and needs Ding You.The emperor refused to allow it.But the emperor sent a servant to accompany Li Xiange back to his hometown for the funeral, which gave the Sun family a chance to overthrow Li Xiange.

Elder Li Xiange simply did not do anything and kept going, the eldest prince passed away, and he came to take a drastic drudgery.

It's just that the Sun family's counterattack was also very strong. The news came today that Mr. Li Xiange suddenly became seriously ill and was in critical condition.I'm afraid it's only a few days.

With Li Xian down, the Sun family dominates, and the emperor may be in danger.So, now is a good time for us to get ahead.

Uncle, success or failure depends on it. "

Fang Yuanzhi felt chills in his heart.

This powerful family lives in the shadow of swords and swords all day long, and their lives are really difficult.

She was even more surprised that Xu Chun, a businessman who took care of common affairs, knew more about the changes in the court situation than a former court elder like Shang Lu!
After bidding farewell to Shang Ren, Xu Chun took Fang Yuanzhi home directly.

Fang Yuanzhi was very surprised: "I haven't finished school yet!"

Xu Chun didn't explain much, and only said when he got to the Zhaode Hall at home: "I'm going to the capital. If you want, you can go with me."

Fang Yuanzhi opened his eyes wide.

She would rather be with Xu Chun, but the year is approaching and she needs to go home for the New Year.If she went to the capital privately, she would not be able to explain to her family.
