Chapter 193 Mutual Aid Autonomous System of Townships and Communities (2)(1/2)
"The official and social system of the previous kings has also been heard and studied..." Liu Jin said softly: "Your lord Gu Liang once told me: The system of the previous kings is based on the well field. Now the well field is destroyed, so it cannot be implemented..."
"Does the Shizhong plan to restore the well field?" Liu Jin was a little suspicious.
The well-field system is naturally good in Liu Jin's mind.
In the minds of many scholars and officials, the well-field system can even be said to be a good solution to all problems.
Many people believe that as long as the well-field system is restored.
Then we will usher in an ideal society without exploitation, oppression, and hunger and cold.
The people farmed among the countryside and cultivated among the mountains and rivers.
Respect the elderly and the elderly of others, and the young of others.
Although, in later generations, many people believed that the well-field system was actually slavery.
But in this world, this is not the case.
The well-field system has long been sacred and enthroned by the sages of Confucianism, Huang-Lao School, and Miscellaneous Schools.
It does not refer to the Zongzhou system based on slavery.
It is an ideal utopian society.
In that society, the government arranged and organized the people to farm in an orderly manner, while the people obeyed and obediently and obediently to the officials assigned by the state and the virtuous scholars and officials from the people.
There is no corvee service, no heavy taxes, no population trading and harsh laws.
Everything is like a fantasy.
It is almost a primitive version of a small peasant economy communist society under the agricultural society.
Unfortunately, it is just a fantasy after all, and it is impossible to succeed after all.
Zhang Yue knew very well that he would not say that it was now. In another two thousand years, even if he arrived at the legendary future with extremely abundant material resources and huge supply of resources, utopia would be just a utopia after all.
Unless humans become machines and transform into eternal data.
Otherwise, this would not be possible.
Because humans are selfish.
How can one become a public person if one does not eliminate selfishness?
And creatures without selfishness do not exist.
Of course, Zhang Yue would not have that dream.
He smiled and said, "What Your Highness said is that the Wellfield system is now impossible to rebuild... But... the essence of the thoughts and systems of the previous kings, I think it is common in that era!"
This is naturally nonsense.
Who dares to say that the thoughts and systems of the previous kings are inappropriate?
Ten thousand big trolls are ready, and they can spray this arrogant guy with cerebral palsy at any time.
Back then, Xunzi just said that he wanted to be the King of Fa, and was criticized for two thousand years!
"Why does the servant want to?" Liu Jin asked curiously.
"What I have to do is..." Zhang Yue laughed softly: "Build a government-civilian cooperation organization based on the rural autonomous system formed since the Guanzi..."
"With collective and group power, rural autonomy cannot be carried out without the control of the state and the law..."
If such a system is to be from scratch, it will be extremely difficult.
However, what Zhang Yue wants to do is not creation, but improvement.
Similar systems of autonomous mutual assistance between officials and the people were actually formed in the Qin Dynasty, and even had been in the Han Dynasty for decades.
At least in the Wenjing two generations, the village system once blossomed everywhere.
Many people still retain many of the habits that were at the peak of the village system.
Some of these habits have even become traditions and have been passed down to later generations.
For example, tasting new grain is a tradition inherited from the Zongzhou period and the Qin and Han dynasties.
The poem says: Friends and drinks to have fun, and they say that they kill the lamb, squeeze into the court, and call them the wicked wine, and live forever!
It describes the harmony of the Chinese government and public organizations during the heyday of the Zongzhou period when the government and the Chinese people celebrated the harvest year by year.
In the Qin Dynasty, this system gradually evolved into an important part of its farming and war system in the hands of Shangjun.
Zhang Yue read countless related documents and bamboo slips in Shiqu Pavilion and Lantai, and even read some instructions and edicts from the emperors of the Han Dynasty to the village organization, and knew many relevant provisions of the Han Dynasty that were still valid to date.
Therefore, he came prepared.
He introduced his plan in detail to Liu Jin.
"I plan to make relevant attempts in Duyushe or Xinfeng Township for the time being..."
"First of all, it is to establish the skeleton of the township organization..."
"Based on the pavilion, each pavilion ordered the elders over 55 years old who ranged from one to six people, and were ordered to recommend the elders over 55 years old to be shot in the village..."
"In addition to age restrictions, there are also restrictions on liability..."
"Since you are the only one serving in the Han army, not just for the mediocre ones, you are qualified to do it, or you are a Han official, and you have retired from more than a hundred stones..."
This restriction is not only to please and win over the class of landlords, powerful literati and officials, but also to be the basis for a village organization to exist for a long time.
In fact, Zhang Yue knew very well that even in the later West, the so-called civilian pig system had experienced an era of limited restrictions on voters.
Speaking of which, classical China is indeed a magical era.
Especially in the Qin and Han dynasties, there were not only villages with limited autonomy and mutual assistance from villagers, but also the system of autonomy of merchants and pigs - Pingjia.
The people basically have organizations and backers.
Especially in the border area, Zhang Yue learned a terrible fact from the bamboo slips he read - even now, all immigrants in the border area of the Han Dynasty are strongly quasi-military organizational colors.
For example, the 600,000 immigrants from the Hexi region organized by the Grand Secretary and Agricultural Group all served as farmers in peacetime and soldiers in wartime.
This is not just a system, but also a contractual constraint.
All immigrants must first sign a contract with the government and promise to engage in and participate in any national defense work unconditionally.
Correspondingly, the Grand Minister provides these immigrant houses, land, agricultural tools, seeds and rations free of charge.
In a sense, the counties and counties in the Han border today, especially Jiuquan, Zhangye, Juyan and Luntai areas, are actually society under the farming and war system of the Shangjun era.
All the people are all part of the national war machine.
It is precisely because of this that the Han Dynasty persisted until now in the Hexi region and Munan region.
Otherwise, if everything had to be transported from the mainland, the Han Empire would have been dragged down long ago.
But Zhang Yue knew very well that the system of the frontier can only be suitable for promotion in the frontier.
When it comes to Guanzhong, or even the Guandong area, it won’t work.
He didn't want to just make a wave of reputation and experience, he patted his butt and left.
What he wants is a practical and feasible organization that can be promoted to the world's villagers' autonomy and mutual assistance between officials and the people.
This organization must not only conform to current reality, but also have the ability to help each other.
At least we must organize the people and the people's strength.
One manpower is weak, ten manpower is more powerful, hundreds of people can open mountains, thousands of people can dig rivers, and ten thousand people can move mountains and seas!
His small water conservancy plan must also have such an organization to implement and maintain.
Otherwise, it will be useless to practice.
The Dragon Shou Canal has been dug for twenty or thirty years, but now, some areas have become deserted due to lack of sufficient maintenance.
Liu Jin listened, but was excited.
In his opinion, what Zhang Yue said already has room for operation.
It is more in line with his fantasy about the system of the previous kings.
Taking the virtuous and virtuous elders as the pillar, organize the people and encourage the people to cultivate.
only……
"Why should the Shizhong highlight that the candidates for the main bomb must have served, and that they must be blamed for the fugitives?" Liu Jin didn't quite understand. He thought that such a setting would definitely highlight the political status of the warrior?
The current power of the Han Dynasty's military general group is not too weak, but too strong!
In a sense, the Han Dynasty was a group of military aristocratic groups dressed in the cloak of the state.
If the three dukes and nine ministers of the court have no experience in leading troops, they will be looked down upon and even criticized.
As for the Three Dukes, you must have practical experience and experience in leading troops to convince the public!
Back then, Gongsun Hong, the Xianhou of Pingjin, was criticized for not being a general.
Mu Qiutian waited for Shi Qing, but because he had never been a general, he had no prestige or authority. His grandfather even regarded it as an eraser.
"Your Highness, this is to highlight a concept..." Zhang Yue lowered his head and said: "Only those who have assumed the heavy responsibility of family and country can be respected. I dare not imagine that if a person has not made contributions to the country and the country, he is only lying in the credit book of others and hiding under the wings of others, he can make contributions to the village party and the people..."
