In the meeting hall, after Zhao Xingde sat down, he felt as if he was exhausted, and his hands and feet were shaking slightly. Even the most careless captain was watching him. Yu Zangyun raised his hand and called the clerk and asked, "Which army does this innocent face belong to?"

"That is Captain Zhao De of the Eighth Battalion of the Chengying Army." The clerk Luo Zhi replied respectfully, carefully concealing his respect for the new Captain.

"Oh?" Yu Zangyun said with a gloomy face, "It's really a cannon." He turned around and said meaningfully to the captain beside him, "This cannon will be left after a few bangs." The captain of the Chengying Army has been fighting outside the territory for many years, and there are very few opportunities to participate in the Huguo Mansion. Even if Zhao De is of a genius, he can only fight to kill the enemy in the border area of ​​the Jueyuan, and will not make trouble in the Huguo Mansion in a short period of time.

Before Yu Zangyun could think of how to refute Zhao Xingde, Kang Deming stood up again, bowed to the superior monarch and minister, and said in a deep voice: "What Captain Zhao De said just now is something that may happen decades later, but it is not a worry. As the saying goes, the disease is in the skin, the place where the soup is ironed; the blood vessels, the point where the needle is in the stones; the point where the wine is in the stomach, the point where the wine is in the bone marrow, and the point where the life is in the bone marrow, and the point where the life is in the heart, what is there? Now, the matter of the worker and the disciple is just like the disease is in the skin, and the court can still deal with it slowly without harming the foundation of the country. If I turn a blind eye to Captain Zhao De's warnings, I am just afraid that it will be a great harm to the country in the future!"

After he finished speaking, he sat down and smiled at Zhao Xingde and signaled. Zhao De hurriedly bowed his hand to thank him for agreeing with him.

Yu Zangyun said in a deep voice: "Prince Kang said it lightly, and self-adhering to the market is the foundation of the court's policy of encouraging industry and commerce. If the court intervenes recklessly, it is probably just like the new laws such as Qingmiao, exemption from service, and equal taxation in square fields. Although the original intention is good, in the end, it will be blamed."

Kang Deming's face changed slightly. He was about to stand up and refute him, but he heard Yang Ren say, "The Master Yu's words are reasonable. In the past century, this dynasty has adhered to the self-restraint method to rule the world." Kang Deming's face changed drastically. Yang Ren was both civil and military, and had a great influence in the Guguo Mansion. He was born in Guandong. He had always been incompatible with Yu Zangyun. Why did he suddenly turn against each other today?

Even Yu Zangyun's face showed a look of astonishment, and a sneer appeared on her face. The Prime Minister Liu Yi and Emperor Chen Xuan, who were sitting in the upper throne, looked at each other and saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

"The way to defend oneself is to believe in and understand the righteousness, respect morality and repay merits, and to rule the world." Yang Ren said slowly and deeply, "Let the people defend themselves and lead the world to guard them. If the people lose their guard, then etiquette and music will be broken, morality and morality will not exist, and the world will not exist. Therefore, our dynasty will bring peace to all ages, and the main focus is this way to defend oneself."

After hearing Yang Ren retelling the legacy of his ancestors, Yu Zangyun and many civil and military captains nodded. This self-preservation method was proposed by Mr. Lu Er after carefully studying the principles of the various philosophers. Mr. Lu Er spent his life studying and presided over the Bachelor's Mansion for more than 20 years. The Guanxue he taught was a great influence among the people of Xia. Whether it was soldiers, merchants or Yinhu, they all believed in this self-preservation method. It was precisely after this moral principle that Mr. Lu Si presided over the Prime Minister's Mansion, which promoted the promulgation of "self-preservation of the law of the city" by the Zhuguo Mansion, and established the principle that the court and the chamber of commerce should not interfere with merchants' self-preservation contracts.

"Our court can keep one's own position without having a different mind, and work together to serve as a country. If scholars do not understand the justice of the emperor, even if the emperor is respected, they cannot add it with one finger. Therefore, civil and military personnel should defend themselves with their morality. Since the founding of the country, they have adopted the strategy of self-governance of the Chamber of Commerce. Thirty years ago, they have promulgated the laws of self-governance, so merchants can defend themselves with their faith. The people who farm and herd have their neighbors, and the county protect the officials of the people, and the court has laws to protect them with the pillars and states. Because all the scholars and people in our court can defend themselves, the customs are good, and the treacherous and slandered are born, and the court can promote profits and eliminate disadvantages."

Zhao Xingde nodded, and suddenly saw Yang Ren's face darkening, and he changed his tone and said, "However, now the situation of a worker and a disciple is far from self-defense. Nowadays, the worker and his disciples are isolated from the village, with no relatives to help each other, and no scholars to protect others. His wife is not protected and he is humiliated and cannot protect himself. Worker and his disciples are not protected by the laws of the court, and they are not taught by the wise men in the village. As the saying goes, if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.

On the contrary, it will eliminate his integrity and shame, stay away from the way of etiquette and righteousness and be with the beasts." He paused and said in a more emphasis, "As Zhao Zhengwei said, those who lose their self-restraint will not be at ease and breed different intentions. You all, the hundreds of thousands of workers who lose their self-restraint will be far from the way of our dynasty. The source of this disaster, even if the disease is still in the pores, the protection of the country can sit idly. Do you have to wait until the disease reaches the bone marrow and endanger the disease?"

After Yang Ren finished speaking, he did not sit down, but exchanged a glance with Prime Minister Liu Yi, waiting for other lieutenants to question.

"So, according to what Yang Zhengwei said, how should workers and disciples be able to defend themselves?" Yu Zangyun sneered coldly. These workers and disciples did not know etiquette, could not be educated, and there was no underestimation for soldiers. Yang Ren said that he was so glorious that he wanted the court to intervene.

"This matter is related to the national plan. I have been thinking for a long time and have come up with several methods, which are called "workers and disciples keep their own laws". I just wait for the knowledgeable people in the palace to submit them to the Zhuguo Mansion." Yang Ren said in a deep voice, "The first thing is that the worker and disciples are not imprisoned. When the worker and disciples want to leave the workshop, the owner of the workshop shall not be stopped. As for the cost of violating the contract, they can be considered again. However, it is the first thing to do to ensure that the worker and disciples can keep themselves and not become slaves because of the contract. They are extended, not forced to work, and not lynching. This is also a matter of course."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Deming said in a deep voice: "Okay!" If the Guanzhong workers and disciples can be protected from imprisonment, the shortage of people in the Hezhong Workshop will greatly improve. As for the default fees of the workers and disciples, it is not a concern for the Hezhong Workshop. He even wishes these workers and disciples would be eager to pay off their debts.

Seeing that Kang Deming was happy, Chen Xuan couldn't help but frown and thought to himself, no wonder he had been suppressed by Yu Zangyun in the Guardian Mansion, no wonder the King of Kang would rather ask Chen Kang to inherit the throne than to find Kang's own nephew.

Yang Ren was as deep as water and continued: "The second thing is that the people who farm and herd have the help of soldiers to protect themselves. There are few soldiers in the autonomous region of merchants, so the workers and disciples should elect the civil servants to protect the people, and together with the court's relief Cao, he would shelter the workers and disciples according to the court's laws." He paused and said, "As Zhao Xiaowei said, there are also the blood and sweat of workers and disciples in the industrial and commercial taxes. The court received taxes and exerting protection was also a matter of responsibility."

Most of the captains nodded and said, Yu Zangyun Han said in a deep voice: "The protection of the civil servants and the relief department should act strictly in accordance with the laws of the court, and do not wantonly interfere with the merchants and keep their promises." Yang Ren's proposal was a step-by-step approach, which had already convinced most of the captains in the meeting hall, and obviously had the support of His Majesty and the Prime Minister, so Yu Zangyun could only retreat and restrict this "worker and disciples' own laws."

Seeing that Yu Zangyun did not object completely, Yang Ren smiled and said, "The Master Yu's words are reasonable, so it is natural." He continued, "Third, if people are not crowded, they are no different from beasts. These workers and disciples stay away from their hometowns, lose their family affection, and have no owners. They should make them form associations and make agreements, enter and leave friends, watch over each other, and support each other with diseases. If necessary, the Guardian government can allocate a small sum of silver every year to help with their affairs. People are better than beasts, and people can be grouped. In this way, hundreds of thousands of workers and disciples will be able to defend themselves." The system of workers and disciples' association is the most important, and the importance is far better than the previous two items, but Yang Ren puts it last.

Because this third article does not conflict with the "self-observing the laws of the city", the captains did not clearly understand the profound meaning for a while and did not intend to object. Yu Zangyun instead reminded: "This worker and disciples should be careful of their backlash and should be restrained by others."

Yang Rendian said that he had absorbed Yu Zangyun's suggestion. Prime Minister Liu Yi took the opportunity to propose that the Relief Department come to the Relief Department to join forces and disciples. At the same time, the money that the court funded the Workers and disciples to join forces was also distributed by the Relief Department, and the lieutenants were meaningless. Therefore, most of them jointly presented the "workers and disciples to the Zhuguo Mansion with Yang Ren. Yu Zangyun and others neither jointly signed nor opposed it.

After the debate, it was already noon, and the captains had a meal in the Huguo Mansion. Zhao Xingde and Chen Chong sat together and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, what Captain Yang said to make the people defend themselves and defend the world. I only heard of their names before, but I don't know the details. Today, I really benefited a lot." Chen Chong looked at him in surprise, because decades ago, the Bachelor's Mansion included the "self-preserving Way" mentioned by Mr. Lu Er into the teaching book for the students' enlightenment. According to the regulations of the Bachelor's Mansion, after the child has learned the "Three Character Classic", the teacher will talk about self-cultivation. From self-cultivation to the family, from the Qi family to governing the country and pacifying the world, the explanation of "self-preserving Way" must be interspersed with the explanation of "self-preserving Way" in the middle. Zhao Xingde said that he didn't know, there was only one possibility there. Chen Chong looked left and right and asked in a low voice: "Is Zhao a native of Guandong?"

"That's right." Zhao Xingde nodded, not understanding why Chen Chong asked this question.

"That's it." Chen Chong smiled, "This path is only passed through our dynasty. Guandong denounced it as a 'pseudo-school'. The teacher did not know the way, and the famous Confucian scholars did not want to mention it. And in Guanxi, it was like the world of the sky, which was a great truth known to all women and children." Zhao Xingde could hear it and said, "So that's it." He pondered for a moment, and then said, "The King of Zhou enfeoffed the princes to defend the world, so he was the originator of the way to defend himself.

"That's right," Chen Chong said in a deep voice, "From the princes being able to defend themselves, to the scholars and officials being able to defend themselves, and to the people of the world being able to defend themselves, this is the way of evolution. Following this straight path, peace will be expected for all ages."

Zhao Xingde doubted: "In the Zhou Dynasty, the princes were divided into officials, and later, the strong branches were weak, the power was strong and the lords were bullying the lord, the royal family declined, and the ministers were in charge of the country's orders. Wouldn't the court be worried about repeating the same mistake?"
