Qiming 1158

Chapter 1331 Reshaping this society
Shen Kai may think that the question he raised is very lethal, and it can instantly create a lore effect and give Zhang Shi a hard blow.

But he didn't realize that his IQ might not be much different from Zhang Shi's, or, in other words, a little bit behind Zhang Shi's.

What he can think of, Zhang Shi can't think of?

Is Zhang Shi an idiot?

Regarding this question, Zhang Shi once asked Su Yonglin for advice in a detailed letter, and Su Yonglin also gave him a very clear answer.

"Let's not talk about whether good deeds should pursue what you say, but at least that's how it should look."

Zhang Shi said slowly: "So I also asked the chairman, and I wrote a letter to communicate with him, asking him how the Ming Kingdom can overthrow the Song Kingdom's system, how to eliminate the evil at its root, and how to make upright people on board. High position for the well-being of the people.

The chairman told me that in the Song Dynasty, doing good deeds was seen as foolishness and unattainable, not thinking about yourself but thinking about others. Destroyed, good-hearted people consider others, but are trapped.

Under such a vicious circle, the Song Kingdom has come to an irretrievable end, but in the Ming Kingdom, it is different. What the Ming Kingdom did is actually very simple, that is, to give good returns to those who do good deeds. , rather than being constantly wiped out. "

Hearing this, Shen Gai seemed to have heard a big joke. He raised his head and laughed loudly. After laughing for a while, he stopped, looking at Zhang Shi with a playful expression on his face.

"Good people are rewarded? Zhang Jingfu, how old are you? Do you still believe this? You say that young children believe this, but I think it's justifiable. Children are young and ignorant, but you are in your 30s. Isn't it a little naive to believe this?"

"So, this is a problem brought about by the entire court system of the Song Dynasty, which affects all aspects, and no one who is in it can escape from it, no matter what status or status.

Even an official who thinks he is high above, can't actually get out of it, but is trapped in it, unable to extricate himself, that's why the situation you mentioned occurs. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Shi seemed to remember something, and sighed with emotion on his face.

"Doing the right thing and getting the right reward is such a normal thing, but since when have we all been distorted into thinking that only bad things can be rewarded the most? Isn't this very Something unusual?"

Hearing this, Shen Gai gradually faded the smile from his face.

After a while, he sneered.

"I don't know when it's been like this, all I know is, I was born this way."

"It was born like this, so do you just admit it? Do you accept it without any doubt?"

Zhang Shi shook his head: "Perhaps, many people will have no choice but to admit it, gradually become one of them, give up struggling, sink into it, become an accomplice of this phenomenon, and promote this phenomenon to intensify.

But the Ming country, the comrades of the Ming country headed by the chairman, they said no to this kind of thing, they do not accept this kind of wrong thing, they want to change this phenomenon. "

Shen Gai didn't believe it at all, with a look of disdain on his face.

"It's easy to say, how do you do it? How do you correct it? How do you make people believe that doing good deeds will bring good rewards? It's really that easy to lead people to do good deeds. We are not Confucian scholars long ago, but in temples. The monk! Knock on the wooden fish every day to attract people to be kind, how wonderful!"

Zhang Shi shook his head.

"The chairman said that the Ming Kingdom is building a completely different system that runs from top to bottom, called the mass representation system. The Ming Kingdom wants to use this system to reshape the society."

"Representatives of the masses? What do you mean?"

"I just heard that, in order to formulate national policies more properly, and to hear the voices of people from all walks of life in all regions of the country more properly, the country is going to try out a mass representative system, saying that it is to widely select ordinary people to participate in the meeting in Zhongdu. ."

Zhang Shi said slowly: "Officials can participate, officers and soldiers can also participate, workers, peasants, and businessmen can also participate, and the standard for participating in the meeting is to make a contribution, and there are many differences in what a contribution is. standard.

For example, there are many workshops in the Ming Dynasty. If the workers who work in the workshops have outstanding results, or do other things that are beneficial to the workshop and society, they will be commended. When there is a need for a person for a position, priority will be given to promotion.

There are also officials and officials. Their duty is to govern the locality and work for the well-being of the people. Therefore, they will be commended for their achievements in their own positions. If other officials are found to be corrupt and corrupt, they will also be commended. Subordinates who do wrong things in a timely manner and try to correct them can also be commended.

Officials or officials who have been commended can be elected as representatives of the masses, and can go to the Central Capital to hold meetings on state affairs, and once there is an opportunity for promotion, officials who have been commended have priority and can be promoted first. "

"Wait, officials... and farmers and industry? The masses?"

Shen Kai was a little surprised. After a while, he thought about it clearly, calmed down, and asked, "Does Minguo want the distinction between scholars, peasants, industry and commerce to disappear?"

"It should be like this. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce should never be a class, but four occupations that are side by side in society. The four occupations with the same status have no distinction between high and low."

Zhang Shi said: "The people engaged in agriculture, industry and commerce are the masses, and the officials and officials are also the masses, and they will not detach themselves from the masses just because they are officials and officials. No matter how high the official position and the great power, including the Daming Emperor himself, they are all Daming citizens. , this is the first general rule of Chapter 1, the opening chapter of the Ming Law."

"Su Yonglin, he... At the beginning, he said that he served the people to be the emperor, not the emperor, but the emperor. Did he really write such rules into the law?"

Shen Kai didn't understand very much, and asked: "Scholar, peasant, business, and industry have always been rank. It has existed since ancient times. The country emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, and puts agriculture first, and business is cheap. If scholars, peasants, business, and industry are equal, wouldn't the country's capital be shaken? Does he not understand Su Yonglin?"

"It's natural to put agriculture first, and it makes sense to limit business and not let business interfere with agriculture, but what does this have to do with people?"

Zhang Shi spread his hands, shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it until after I communicated with the chairman, he told me that scholars, peasants, business, and industry are occupations, not people, nor should they be classified by rank.

The scholars, peasants, industry and commerce in Daming are the representatives of occupations, not people. People are the masses. The masses choose different occupations and lives. The imperial policy has different regulations on occupations, but it is always the same for people.

Daming will not think that you are superior to others just because you are an official, nor will you be inferior to others just because you are engaged in business. What does occupational distinction have to do with people?
People can change jobs at any time and do what they want to do. The ancients divided society in this way, bound occupations to people, restricted social circulation, blocked up and down passages, and had sinister intentions, but I was very unhappy. "

"you……"

Shen Gai suddenly felt that Zhang Shi had offended the ancients, and was very unhappy, and said angrily: "Abandoning the roots and chasing the end, forgetting the ancestors! Abandoning the country and disregarding the roots! Zhang Jingfu, you...you really have no cure!"

"You're the one with no cure."

Zhang Shi was not angry, he sighed deeply: "Reshaping society, changing the wrong things, and doing the right things, why is it that you will do away with the basics? The right things done by the ancients should be inherited, but if the ancients did wrong, Then it must be corrected, and it must be resolutely abandoned!”
