"Prefect, I am here to build a world of great harmony belonging to Confucianism!"
Jiang Hua nodded slightly.
"I plan to strictly abide by the Zhou rites and build this county according to the Zhou rites."
Jiang Hua continued to nod.
"In my opinion, the reason why the world is in such chaos today is entirely the result of the collapse of rituals and music."
Is it the collapse of rites and music that leads to chaos in the world, or the chaos of the world that leads to the collapse of rites and music? This is a question.
"If I were asked to govern this county, I would first set up the well-field system for all the land in the county. All land is royal land and is owned by the public. It is only temporarily allocated to the people at the bottom for cultivation. All land is prohibited from buying and selling. It is also not allowed to be transferred. If you really want to sell it, you can only sell it to the public again..."
These are originally the contents of the well-field system. It is normal for Wang Jujun to have this idea.
However, the well-field system had already collapsed back then, and if it continues to be implemented in another place, there is a high probability that it will still collapse.
However, many times the truth does not make sense.
Moreover, failure itself has value.
Hearing this, Jiang Hua reminded: "Mr. Wang, with your cultivation and identity, of course you can easily complete a certain task to prove your strength, and you are the second one to visit me, so you can also directly Choose a county to live up to your ideals.”
Having said this, Jiang Hua waved his hand, and the projections of the ten counties appeared on the table.
"But I want to make a three-part agreement with you in advance. Everyone who practices his ideals must abide by these regulations. They are not directed at Mr. Wang alone. Please understand."
Wang Jujun nodded to express his understanding.
"First of all, the number of dead people cannot be too many. Except for those who die from natural causes, it cannot exceed one in a thousand. Once it exceeds, it will be regarded as a failure in practice."
It is understandable that some harsh punishments or some special means can be used to scare the monkeys, but not too many people should die.
"Secondly, you cannot punish someone without teaching them."
"Of course it is. Punishing someone without teaching them is cruelty. You still understand this truth."
"No matter what the reform is, there cannot be some outrageous laws, such as the right of the first night..."
"Of course, Jujun has always held himself to the standards of a gentleman."
"There are only ten places this time, so each place has a special meaning. Qi practitioners all over the world are watching you."
"So, before practice begins, I hope that you, sir, can write down your ideas on governance and reform. If possible, I will publish it directly to the world."
"In addition, after Mr. Wang starts practicing, the Guanfeng Envoys affiliated with Caifeng Pavilion will make all-round records. This record includes the laws made public when Mr. Wang was in charge, as well as the real-life scenes seen by the Guanfeng Envoys themselves."
"This is to better record all changes, whether successful or failed. With these records, this practice will be valuable."
Wang Jujun thought for a moment and nodded: "Although I am very confident that this practice will be successful, it is good to record it so that other brothers and sisters can refer to and learn from it in the future."
"Sir, you must not prohibit the free movement of the people within the territory. If the people want to move to other places, you must not use any method to intercept them. The watchers will record everything. When the people's migration reaches half the extent, practice is regarded as fail."
"Our ten counties represent ten different governance methods. If you add Yancheng, it will be eleven. The eleven governance methods are compared with each other, attracting each other, and letting the people choose with their feet?"
Having said this, Wang Jujun began to think and nodded after a moment: "I believe that people can be educated. As long as they are educated properly, these are not problems!"
"So……"
After three chapters of the agreement, Wang Jujun continued to talk about his ideas. It was obvious that he was very confident and even planned to attract Jiang Hua's attention through his ideas.
"In addition to the Jingtian system, all official systems and official names must strictly follow the Zhou Rites. Nowadays, many vassal states are constantly restructuring their systems, and many official names and official systems have changed. This is not good..."
Listening to Wang Jujun's ideas, Jiang Hua sighed silently in his heart. He only felt that the people who had Wang Jujun's capital would be tortured by then. I just don’t know when Wang Jujun’s reform will completely fail this time.
You have to keep a close eye on it when the time comes, and if it collapses, end the experiment immediately.
This lecture lasted an afternoon, and it was not until the sun set that Wang Jujun reluctantly left the prefect's mansion. Before leaving, he also accepted a mission. The content of the mission was to go to a certain county in Chao Kingdom to save those who were living in poverty among the people. , groups of Taoists in the wild.
Looking at Wang Jujun leaving, Jiang Hua returned to the study and began to continue writing the certification standards for the World of Datong that he had not finished yesterday.
"A stage in the age of great harmony, that is, people with hands and feet will not die of hunger as long as they are hardworking and willing to work."
Is this a high standard?
Judging from this standard, all savages and most common people cannot reach it!
The common people living in the villages were exploited by the countrymen, the common people living in the towns were exploited by the scholars, and the common people living in the counties were exploited by the officials.
The difference is that the living standards of common people living in towns are higher than those in villages, and those in counties are higher than those in towns.
But even in the first stage, only a few common people can achieve it.
Most common people can only be squeezed to death by the nobles. After death, conscientious nobles would bury them on a straw mat, and then recruit new savages to serve as common people. The nobles without conscience even use corpses...
"The next step is the second stage of the world of great harmony. In this stage, if you work hard, you can have enough to eat."
"The change from the first stage to the second stage is from not dying of hunger to having enough to eat."
"People will not starve to death if they eat porridge twice a day, but sooner or later the body will suffer from various problems due to long-term hunger..."
"In the second stage, people don't need to eat when they are busy in farming. They can also eat when they are idle on weekdays. When farming is busy, they can often eat meat and see the smell of meat."
"At this time, the living standards of the people have been significantly improved. They have more than one set of clothes. In addition to basic living, they have begun to pursue neatness, cleanliness, and respect..."
There are very few common people who can reach this stage. You have to have a skill, you have to be a craftsman, and you have to be a craftsman who is not bankrupt. The wives, concubines, and non-legitimate children of the Chinese people can all meet this standard.
But how many talents are there in the country?
After writing this, Jiang Hua felt that this was really a long way to go!
While Jiang Hua continued to write the preface, Wu Qi and his friend Xiao He also came to a certain village.
The village is not big, it looks like there are only about 200 households, many of which are one person per household. The whole village may have about 400 to 500 people.
There was an earthen wall outside. After taking a look at it, Wu Qi said: "This wall was not built piece by piece by the villagers with adobe. Someone used magic to build this wall all at once. When Taoism comes into life, it seems that it is not False words.”
Xiao He nodded slightly: "These spells are the life-like Taoist spells mentioned in the journal."
"This title came from Yancheng, from the mouth of the prefect. He always had fresh ideas of one kind or another, which was eye-catching."
"A wall like this is about three feet thick and two feet high. There are crenels in the middle and a place for shooting arrows. Such a wall can be used to deal with ordinary beasts." Wu Qi began to look at it from a military perspective. analyze.
He was thinking about how many soldiers it would take to breach the wall.
"The wall is very spacious, so it requires a lot of manpower. There are only about five hundred people in the whole village, and there are less than a hundred strong men..."
With such a small manpower, no matter how the wall is built, it doesn't make much sense. There are too many ways to break it. However, this is Dongning Island, where can we find a large-scale army? Even if one day the enemy really comes down with a large-scale army, they will not leave the county alone and attack the villages specifically.
Thinking of this, Wu Qi suddenly realized that his previous thinking was meaningless, so he walked in with Xiao He.
When he was at the entrance of the village, he was stopped: "The guest looks a little unfamiliar. Where is he from? Do you have the identity certificate of the prefect's mansion?"
The moment the old man stopped the two of them, there were several strong men behind him who were already touching the sword. Feeling the villagers' vigilance, Xiao He took out a cyan talisman from under his cloak: "This talisman was issued when registering your identity."
Looking at the green talismans, the old man knew instantly that these were two top guests.
Yancheng will issue identity certificates to guests who come to Yancheng. The function of this thing itself is very simple, that is, positioning.
However, identification certificates of different colors represent different strengths.
White represents ordinary people, Chinese people, and alchemists.
Red represents scholars and magicians.
Yellow represents doctors and Taoist priests.
Cyan represents ministers and Taoist priests.
Purple represents the first generation of monarchs and innate immortals, but no purple identity certificates have been issued yet.
Looking at the two cyan talismans raised by Xiao He and Wu Qi, the old man's face was immediately filled with smiles. As for the village chief, he picked up a communication talisman and began to report to his superiors. Although the village chief had a thousand words in his mind at the moment I want to say: You experts, can't you just find someone to accompany you as a guide? Do you two like wandering around by yourself so much?
However, considering the difference in strength between the two, the village chief just thought about this in his heart, and he quickly reported the matter to the township chief. As for what the township chief did, he had no control over it.
Two Taoist priests, one of them is unhappy, and the whole village is gone.
So, accompanied by the village chief, Wu Qi and Xiao He began to visit the entire village.
"These houses were built by Taoists using Taoist techniques. They are all large courtyards with three entrances and three exits. Each house can accommodate at least thirty people."
"Every place has a front yard and a backyard. Villagers will plant some vegetables in their backyards and dig a well in the front yard. By the way, most of these wells are also built by Taoists using magic. It is very fast, almost in the blink of an eye. In the meantime, the well was drilled.”
"However, the Taoists have only dug the water well, and we have to install the equipment to press the water well ourselves. This thing is made of steel and is also issued by the superiors."
Xiao He had already walked to the water pressure well and started to press the water himself: "It's very convenient. The elderly, weak, women and children can also use it directly."
The village chief pulled his beard and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."
"Nowadays, many people feel that the courtyard is too empty and they are not used to living alone or with two people. In many places, several families live in one large courtyard."
"When it was first built, a total of 200 large houses with three entrances and three exits were built in the entire village. I heard that the plan above said that a maximum of 150 households could be accommodated. Those who exceeded the number would be moved out directly, and the remaining 50 households would be moved out. The household is used as a spare, so that everyone can dry the millet and is used as a warehouse. However, if it is used as a warehouse, why not just build it into a large warehouse from the beginning?"
Xiao He took a sip of the pressed water and felt that the water quality was acceptable, so he took the initiative to explain: "These fifty households are originally reserved. With these fifty households, they can be of great use at critical moments."
"Such as population migration?"
"When migrating people, the speed cannot be fast, otherwise the people will not be able to bear it, but people also need to live every night. With these, at least when migrating people on Dongning Island, the death rate can be reduced to almost zero."
"Moreover, foreign merchants and travelers can live among these fifty households at dusk and earn some extra money for the village."
"During the busy farming season, if the village is short of labor and needs to hire people from other villages to help with harvesting, do we also have to prepare houses for them?"
"These fifty households are equivalent to public housing and are directly affiliated with the village. Whether they are used as warehouses, rented out directly, or used for emergencies in the future, it is very good."
The cost is not high anyway, and if it can have some initial effect, it is not a loss.
While walking, Wu Qi saw a gong: "This gong seems to be a magical weapon. There are many magical weapons in your village?"
"I felt the magic weapon when I was at the door just now. There is another magic weapon here, and it is placed directly here. This is the second gong magic weapon I have seen."
Looking at the gong, the village chief took a deep breath: "There has been an order from above, saying that when facing yellow and cyan guests, all our secrets can be told directly."
"Since the customer is interested, I will tell the truth."
"The magic weapon at the entrance of the village is located near the gate. Once an accident occurs, such as encountering an enemy, you can use that magic weapon to send a message. The priority of that magic weapon is extremely high, and the information transmitted will go directly to the county magistrate. According to It is stipulated that within a quarter of an hour, a Taoist team will leave the county and rush to the village."
"The county seat is only thirty miles away from the village in a straight line. At the speed of the Daofa team, they can arrive there in a quarter to two quarters of an hour."
"In other words, reinforcements from the county will arrive within half an hour at the latest."
"Moreover, when we use the magic weapon to send a message, the entire county will be mobilized immediately. Even if there is a big disaster and the village is destroyed, we can wake up other villages and avoid greater damage."
Wu Qi glanced at the village chief's right hand that he had been clenching tightly, but said nothing.
"What about this gong? There are nine gongs in the whole village. Why are there so many?" Xiao He took the initiative to change the topic.
