When these escaped slaves are brought back, what Yuzai wants is freshness, shock, and turmoil!
This is not because Yuan Zai is crazy, but because Yuan Zai has thought of a very serious problem. The hidden dangers in Hongzhou have always been there, but they have been greatly covered up due to the rapid development and the subtle moral influence of the Central Plains.
This era is the era of the Five Emperors. The social environment in ancient China is actually very different from the civilized primitive society to slave society in other regions.
This comes from the "Government by virtue" of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times.
Just like it was said before that China did not have a complete slave society, the ancient Egyptian slaves mainly fed the slave and did not let him die, while the ancient Chinese nobles only wanted to sacrifice the slave and summon a five-star monster...
A large part of the civilized agricultural practitioners in other regions are slaves, but most of the agricultural practitioners in ancient China were homesteaders. As for the slaves, they all did repetitive things that were easy to harm the body and did not have any skills. content work.
If outside civilization wants to fight, then just fight. I tell you clearly that I want to capture your people as slaves, but Chinese civilization is not good at it. If I want to beat you, then I must find a reason to beat you. The reason cannot be too lame, it must be To be honest.
Thinkers in ancient China believed that only by letting people know kindness from the fundamentals of human beings can we maintain a good social atmosphere. This has been done since the time of Yao. During the reign of Shun, Gao Tao used heavy punishment and re-activated Chi You's five principles. Torture, but was stopped by Emperor Shun and used elephant torture, which was changed from physical punishment to mental punishment...
Later, many people praised this and believed that moral character is the prerequisite for the rule of virtue, that the emergence of law is based on virtue, and that important basic moral norms are one of the main sources of legal norms. If there is no understanding of moral concepts, pursuit, then the law may become a tool of tyranny and slavery.
This was also reflected in later eras. For example, "that gentleman" who had a good relationship with Yuzai, Sha... bah, it was Bo Cheng who was the tallest child.
Bocheng Zigao was a prince during Yao's time, but he was unhappy with the centralized system used by Shun after he came to power. Later, in the time of Yu, he returned home to farm.
At that time, he and another ancient king, the current prince "Ji Zi of Donghu", evaluated Yao, Shun and Yu respectively.
In the legend, Ji Zi of Higashikata may be Huang Ji, the human king. There are very few legends about him. The story of Emperor Shun is considered to be one of the few long stories. At that time, an unknown person asked Jizi of Higashikata whether Shun could be qualified to be the co-lord. Higashikata Ji Zi thought it was possible, and the sage asked, "How can you know?" Higashikata Ji Zi's answer was very typical of the political style of later generations. His answer was, "Adhere to Yao's theory, adhere to Yao's thought, adhere to Yao's generation..." ...So he can rule the world."
The wise man continued to ask, saying that Shun might have a selfish heart. Higashikata Jizi told him that there must be selfishness, but it is not that Shun does not seek personal gain or is not greedy for money, but because he knows how to The love of life means knowing how to be temperate and restrain your desires.
This is the same as Yao's evaluation of Shun.
When Bocheng Zigao came to power, he resigned, and the princes also stopped working. He returned all his fiefdoms and went home to farm. Dayu was very frightened and asked him what he had done wrong.
Bocheng Zigao told Dayu: "When Yao was in power, there were no rewards, but people were encouraged to do good and live hard. There was no punishment, and people did not dare to do evil. The people were simple, and no one knew either hatred or joy. It was just like As cheerful as a child.”
"But now, Yao passed the throne to Shun, and Shun passed it to you, and you took the throne. Punishment is the common sense, and rewards people. People are unkind and unloving. People punish people. People break laws and disciplines. Rewards and punishments are used very frequently. , but people were still competing for mutual benefits and could not obey, so morality began to decline and deteriorate from this time, and things that sought personal gain also emerged from this time. The chaos in later generations all started from this era!"
In fact, Bocheng Zigao had already seen at this time that the blood and fire of civilization had begun to take place, the elimination of clan alliances, the emergence of the family world, the collapse of primitive communism, the destruction of public property, the complete prosperity of private ownership, and the changes in slavery.
He knows that when morality cannot restrain people, the law may not be able to either. There will always be people who take desperate risks, there will always be people who rely on privileges, and when the time comes when people start to eat people, the law will definitely change beyond recognition!
Yao, Shun, and Yu were at a critical turning point in civilization. It was after them that the Chinese nation officially entered the era of establishing national dynasties. Therefore, Yao, Shun, and Yu were both ancient and modern. They were at a critical turning point in civilization. At the crossroads between the public world and the private world, the rule of man and the rule of law, they have become a combination of contradictions.
Moreover, Dayu also said, "When Shun was on the throne, my son was a prince. I ascended the throne. Why should my son become a commoner?" This was also his question to Bo Cheng and Zi Gao, but Dayu left after all. , so later there is also an allusion that "Yu did not force Bo Cheng to make his son taller, but he kept his temper".
Perhaps Dayu finally passed the throne to Boyi in accordance with the system, but the flowers of private ownership were already in bud, so there was absolutely no reason to wither. Therefore, Boyi was killed and the Xia Dynasty began.

So, get the thought: (?).
Hongzhou is the origin of new trends of thought, Aba Aba...
If Hongzhou continues to develop, it will inevitably face an impact. In fact, the clan alliance is bound to be overthrown in the changes in the new era. Of course, this change does not necessarily involve private ownership. Yu Zai wants to challenge this trend of thought. .
Ten years are enough for the clan alliance to develop to its peak, and when it reaches the peak, it is actually the time to enter the next era. All the technology trees of the current era are full, and the next one is the classical era...
At this time, it is necessary to change the "political system"! Let’s get a classical card-Business and Communist Party card-Democracy card...
In short, in the new era, the clan alliance is a conservative force, and its disintegration is inevitable. However, since the subsequent changes have occurred, they can be controlled manually.
There had been people who were greedy for public property in Hongzhou before, but Yuzai was far away in the Central Plains at the time and didn't know about it, and the matter was handled by Yinglong and Huangdi.
But although Yu Zai didn't know, he could guess that this is how the times developed. Private ownership had long appeared in the Central Plains, but it was suppressed and unable to move the muscles. Apart from natural disasters, there were also man-made causes. For example, Bocheng Zigao It is outrageous that the fiefdom can be returned, and will be taken back by the co-owner after the return.
Turning the means of production into private ownership is the work of human greed, but it is also an unstoppable natural trend in historical change. That's why Yu Zai wants to try to change it. Of course, he is not hiding it, but telling everyone that this thing will happen. And what kind of "benefits" will appear, who will become rich, who will become poor, and who will become slaves and commodities after the class is completely clear and fixed!
Just like what Daye and Yuzai said at the beginning, you can see "the code of honor and inferiority"!
If you don't believe it....then these escaped slaves are the best "leaders by example"!
They no longer have a clan to belong to, they have become free persons. Even if the people of Cangwu are defeated, they will not return to their clan, because here are not only the three tribes of Emperor Nuze, but also many mountains and wilderness. People, as well as lonely people like Chu Xun, whose villages or relatives were killed and destroyed!
They are the best, the waves that hit the clan's constitution. When the dawn of ten years passes, they will become the forerunners of the next era, and under the light of these forerunners, Hongzhou will also enter a new golden age.
"In the waves of the times, ships are in danger of capsizing. At this time, experienced sailors are needed to step forward to control the steering wheel. The old crew may die, but when they come to the new dock, new sailors and crew will come aboard. Of the ship.”
Ruanzai's voice was very soft, while Chisongzi's and others' faces were already serious.
