Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Crash.

The boy held the tray and received a thick plate of reward money.

Although most of them were copper plates, there were still several shiny silver coins mixed in.

According to the general agreement, the tea house keeps [-]% of the reward money, and the rest goes to the storyteller.

The poor scholar was happy in his heart, and his face showed the arrogance of a scholar.

He calmly accepted the reward, made a bow, and silently thanked everyone.

Amidst the impassioned condemnation, the scholar's eyes lit up and he stood up again.

He cleared his throat, pointed at a blood-red border on the second page headline, and said loudly:

"Everyone, the original text of the 'Wartime Order' and the implementation standards are here.

Let me take a look first..."

"It's time for Li Xiucai to explain it to us!"

"Yes, it is a wartime law, but it is important for us to listen clearly!

All young and old men, please be quiet! "

When everyone heard that the imperial court had even explained the 'wartime decree', they all fell silent and waited for the scholar's interpretation.

After a while, the scholar finished reading and laughed:

"Young and old men, we have been worrying for a long time, look at it!"

The scholar continued to read:

“The so-called ‘wartime decree’ refers to natural disasters and man-made disasters encountered by more than three palaces in the imperial court.

Or it may be a special method implemented after being invaded by foreign enemies three times in ten years.

There are three classes of wartime statutes.

First, in times of natural and man-made disasters, limited wartime measures are used to coordinate domestic supplies and respond to disasters.

This order promulgates various wartime measures on the premise of maintaining normal production and living order for people's livelihood.

Second, when the imperial court encounters foreign enemies and fails to win three consecutive confrontations within ten years, it implements national policies to serve the war through special means, gather national strength to defeat the enemy and protect the Ming Dynasty.

This order includes blocking borders, restricting trade objects, controlling strategic materials, etc., but it will not affect normal production profits.

Thirdly, when foreign enemies invade our country, losing more than [-] miles of territory, and losing more than [-] citizens, the highest level of wartime laws will be implemented.

With this order, all workshops in the country maintain a profit ratio of [-]%. At the same time, they strictly control the flow of all materials and gather all forces to destroy the enemy and protect our Ming Dynasty.

Today, the wartime laws implemented by our Ming Dynasty are second-rate. "

The scholar laughed:

"Young and old gentlemen, we are now the second-class 'wartime law'.

In my opinion, not only are we not affected, we are also thriving!

This wartime law is not as terrible as they say! "

As soon as the scholar finished speaking, the teahouse suddenly became noisy.

The crowd was boiling.

"Hahaha!"

"That's right, this wartime law has no effect on us!

When we do business, we do it honestly and in accordance with the requirements of the court.

Isn’t this wartime law just asking us to listen to the emperor?

It's a cliché.

It’s just a name! "

The businessmen who were originally worried all laughed.

Yes!

Isn’t this what happened before?

The emperor just changed his words.

The only ones affected are those bastards who have liaisons with foreign countries!

……

What happened at the Wang Family Teahouse was happening everywhere.

With Wang Lian's personal experience, there is also a clear explanation that is universally accepted in the world.

Wartime laws, something businessmen feared, were finally no longer so fearful.

Oh!

It turns out it’s all the same old routine!

During the previous war with Mongolia, weren't salt, iron, tea and other supplies prohibited from being sold to Mongolia?

It's just a different noun.

fine!

We don’t do business with the Tatars!

Besides, wartime laws are good!

Follow the imperial court's unified trade arrangements...

Hey!

Isn’t it possible to follow Eunuch Fang’s Hanjiang Company to do business?

Great thing!

……

After the "Da Ming Evening News" was published, businessmen who were originally worried about whether their families would be affected suddenly felt relieved.

Although the newspaper said it, only the second-class wartime decree was implemented.

However, the people around the emperor, Wang Lian and the Eunuch Wang Lian, all explained for his majesty——

Even the most stringent wartime laws will still make us money.

It's just a low profit.

……

Daming Royal University City.

Wang Fuzhi put down the newspaper and looked at the hundreds of students in front of him, who had just been urging him to stand up and organize the demonstration:

"Everyone, how is it?"

Master Wang smiled and said:

"I have said it a long time ago. If you take a closer look at your Majesty's governance, you will see that he is not a random person.

Look, this wartime law is not terrible at all! "

The students who had been persuading Wang Fuzhi from the morning to the afternoon all felt embarrassed:

"Sir, don't blame me. I was too anxious."

"Yes sir, we were wrong, let's go to class now!"

A group of students who had been clamoring and indignant just now suddenly turned into good boys again.

……

People in the ivory tower are generally the simplest.

They are easily encouraged, and as long as the explanation is clear, these people can quickly change their attitude and become the staunchest supporters.

The parade that had not yet started disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The scholars sat in the classroom with peace of mind.

……

Baihua Mountain.

Sun Qifeng looked at the evening newspaper in his hand and nodded frequently.

"good!

As a politician, the most taboo thing is to change orders in the morning and at night.

Now that a legal system has been formed, the world is clearly ordered to do so.

This will eliminate the shortcomings of successors who want to change the national government. "

The disciples serving around Sun Qifeng said in surprise:

"Master, aren't you most disgusted with this kind of tyranny?"

"Hahaha!"

Sun Qifeng laughed:

"What I am disgusted with is the law that harms the people and the government that disrupts the government.

I hate all policies that are based on personal will rather than clear laws.

As long as this clear law is strictly observed, what harm will it do to the country? "

Sun Qifeng explained.

Then he sighed:

"You have also seen how my words were misinterpreted by them."

"I was almost mistaken for a spear user!"

When Sun Qifeng mentioned that those people were taking advantage of him, his disciples were filled with indignation.

Everyone opened their mouths to denounce:

"Exactly, what Master said - we must not allow future generations to use the name of 'wartime laws' to carry out tyranny.

The whole article of the Confucius has only one meaning, and that is the need to determine the implementation standards of the "wartime laws" and provide supervision.

Rather than attacking the matter itself. "

Sun Qifeng nodded:

"I am a Neo-Confucian scholar, not a pedantic person.

In the old Jin Dynasty, since the Zhao family implemented the Mingwen Law, the national power has rapidly become stronger.

Even after the three families were divided into Jin, the Three Kingdoms were still the most powerful princes at that time.

This is the benefit of plain grammar!

As my disciples, no matter where you are in the future, please remember this——

The law may be imperfect, but the worst law, as long as it is implemented seriously, is better than nothing.

Of course, this method must be based on the premise of "reason".

If you don't care about the people of the world, what is the use of this method? "
