People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 689 If you want to implement the policy, you can only raise some dogs like this to bark for you
Perhaps it was because he was so clear about these things that Chen Han realized that it was impossible for him to let the Ming Dynasty enter the so-called stage of equality for all, because this was impossible and unrealistic.

Even if he worked himself to death, it would be impossible for him to bring the Ming Dynasty to that stage all at once, because this itself is a particularly unfortunate reality.

Therefore, Chen Han never claimed that he would come to the Ming Dynasty and lead the common people here into a society where everyone is equal. This is simply impossible. So in his eyes, these people nowadays who are shouting about the so-called equality of everyone in the TV series with heroines are simply a scam.

It can even be said that it is a cognitive trap that completely traps everyone.

With such an absolutely clear goal, Chen Han can better exert his true subjective initiative and no longer limit himself to letting everyone know his so-called goals that seem unattainable.

Under such circumstances, he can realize his dream with peace of mind.

Only by doing so could he make everyone see that this was the future goal of the Ming Dynasty, and only by doing so could he prevent everyone from thinking that the Ming Dynasty had reached a point where everyone hated it.

After hearing what Chen Han said, Zhu Biao was particularly moved that his daughter could live her own life in such an environment.

Being able to have your own dreams and things you want to do is actually very happy. You have to know that her mother never had the opportunity to enjoy all this, and her mother never had the opportunity to do those things like him.

In fact, she has always liked the daughter of Princess Jiangdu very much, but she has always been worried that her daughter might end up in another situation.

He even asked Chen Han, if he hadn't come, who would his daughter marry? Chen Han said she would marry Geng Bingwen's son.

Of course Chen Han did not tell his wife, but when Zhu Biao heard it all, he felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. He did not look down on Geng Bingwen, but on Geng Bingwen's son.

He never expected that his daughter would marry Geng Bingwen's son, so at this moment he felt a little sorry for his daughter.

Although it was in another timeline, now after marrying Chen Han, he realized that his daughter had really found a son-in-law in whom he could be very confident.

She can even see that her daughter is so happy and capable now, and can even do the same things as the man, and even do better. In many ways, she even lives a more wonderful life than the man.

Zhu Biao patted Chen Han on the shoulder and said, "Luckily you are here, my little monkey. Otherwise, I would feel sorry for my daughter. If my daughter really married Geng Xuan, it would be me, the Crown Prince, who should be crying. If you hadn't come, not only would I not have the chance to become the emperor, but I would have to hear countless sad historical records. You have come and done so much, squad leader. I really don't know how to thank you."

Chen Han smiled, "Father-in-law, you are my old lady now. Isn't it my duty to come here to save you? Isn't it my duty to make Youwei happy? I think this is what I should do. I have never worked, and I also think it is impossible for my descendants to take credit for this."

Chen Han's words really made Zhu Biao feel particularly pleasant.

In fact, when Chen Han first came to this world, he would fight violently for many things he didn't like, and sometimes he even spoke wildly and offended many people. But now he has been able to restrain himself, which surprised Zhang Hao.

Because Zhu Biao has always been worried about Chen Han. If he can't get along with those officials, those officials will really do some destructive things, which is sometimes quite a headache.

Even if he always wanted to support his son-in-law, if everyone in the world opposed it, he would sometimes have to make some concessions for those people.

Just like now, Chen Han actually doesn't like to give those officials a raise, but there is no other way, because if he doesn't give them a raise, those officials will definitely ask the common people for money again.

It is precisely because of this that, considering the happiness and well-being of the people of the world, Chen Han can only compromise.

Thinking of this, he smiled again and said, "In fact, I know very well what you are thinking in your heart. You look down on those officials. In your eyes, those officials are just sitting there doing nothing but eating for free.

"Those officials only know how to ask for things from the people. Under such circumstances, you can still think about them and even think about increasing their salaries so that they don't have to ask for things from the people. This is already shocking to me as an old Taishan.

"It's actually quite rare that someone like you who hates those officials so much can actually change their minds, and that the people you hate so much can get over it. You have such a magnanimous mind, and that's what a reformer should have.

"Like Wang Anshi back then, even though he hated those opponents so much, he never said a bad word to them in front of anyone, and even felt that those opponents were his stepping stones, making him more determined to reform."

When Zhu Biao talked about Wang Anshi, Chen Han was actually quite touched. You know, the situation Wang Anshi faced back then was the same as his own, and what was even more dangerous than his own was that even Song Shenzong at that time had always supported this person, but his attitude was erratic.

Song Shenzong was a person who wanted to stop it as soon as he heard someone objected. Song Shenzong was a person who distrusted Wanwanshi as soon as he heard objections.

Song Shenzong was the kind of person who would think about it when he heard someone singing a different tune. It was because of his fickleness that many of Wang Anshi's reforms could not be implemented at all.

In fact, many people criticized Wang Anshi's reforms, but Chen Han wanted to do justice for him because he thought Wang Anshi's reforms were very useful. Why was he so anxious? Many people thought that Wang Anshi had a bad personality and was a stubborn person.

Many people think that Wang Anshi is a stubborn person, so the nicknames and other arrangements given to him are actually distorting Wang Anshi's personality. If Wang Anshi really had a solution at that time, would he be so anxious? If he really had a solution, would he need to be so anxious? If he had a solution, he would not have used so many people with bad intentions.

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song, the world seemed to be at peace, but the pressure from the north was growing. The annual tribute to Western Xia and the Liao Kingdom in the north was increasing. These things were oppressive, and Wang Anshi had to carry out reforms. He had to make the country strong and the people rich, and he had to make the court rich enough to cope with the situation.

All those onlookers have been emphasizing one thing, that is, Wang Anshi's reforms have, to a certain extent, stimulated many social contradictions, but no one has ever imagined why these contradictions exist and why these things have always been wanted to be solved but cannot be solved.

In fact, it is not that they do not want to solve the problem, but because those individuals are the vested interests themselves. There is no way they will let go of such a big piece of fat. They simply do not have the kind of broad-mindedness that Wang Anshi has.

They can do whatever it takes to gain their own little bit of benefits. Even if they know that reforms will be beneficial, it is impossible for them to succeed, because if they succeed, it means they will fall from the altar.

It is because of this little bit of selfishness that reform and innovation cannot succeed.

Now Chen Han himself is facing such a problem, because he also wants to reform and wants to succeed, but the more he wants to succeed, the more people come out to obstruct him.

Because the problem Chen Han faced was the same, that is, when some people's interests were affected, they jumped out one by one to oppose the reform.

It was precisely because of doing these things that Chen Han was able to better understand the difficulties Wang Anshi had to face back then. Wang Anshi back then must have felt just like himself, feeling extremely desperate at times.

In fact, Wang Anshi has always wanted to be a person who can do something for the country and the nation. He has always been an idealist and has always wanted to use his own methods to make the whole world more prosperous.

But there are always some old-fashioned people who keep criticizing it for every little mistake, for example, they think the people it employs are not good, or that its policies are too hasty and so on.

Did those civil officials really not know that Wang Anshi's reforms would bring such pain? In fact, they knew it very well, but why did they have to spur him on? Because those literati were standing on the commanding heights. It can even be said that they were criticizing from the moral commanding heights.

These people will never see the long-term future. They will always stand on a very high moral high ground and look down on reforms.

Even though they knew that these pains would inevitably come, and even though they knew that these pains would come to those with vested interests, those civil servants still seized this opportunity to climb up.

Even Su Shi back then had many opinions about Wang Anshi's reforms, didn't he?

In this matter, we can say that Su Shi was a very great writer, artist, gourmet, and a very down-to-earth grassroots official, but he was really not suitable to be a politician.

In fact, what Wang Anshi did was just like Qin Shihuang's construction of highways and the Great Wall. It would indeed bring a lot of pain to the people of that time. However, not many people paid attention to how much benefit it brought to future generations.

Just like Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, after the Grand Canal was connected, all his descendants benefited a lot from it, but it was obvious how the common people at that time would treat him.

If Wang Anshi's reforms could have succeeded, it would have been great news for the Northern Song Dynasty. However, no one expected that everyone would oppose it, whether it was the literati or the common people. It would have been fine if the vested interests were opposed, but the common people who could benefit a lot did not understand it at all. This is why the more you do, the easier it is to be criticized.

Of course, if ordinary people living in that era really raised such opinions, it would be understandable, because ordinary people do not have a long-term vision and they only see the harm that reforms bring to them.

As for the benefits brought about by reform and change, they cannot see them, and once they cannot see them, they will be led astray by many literati.

Chen Han thought of this, and actually felt aggrieved. After listening to Zhu Biao's words, his eyes were full of bloodshot. To be honest, he had always been thinking about how to make the Ming Dynasty better, and how to find a better way.

And now he finally understood why Wang Anshi faced such a dilemma back then and why he felt exhausted back then. It was because he originally wanted to make life better for all the people in the world, but because of the wrong actions of some individuals and the greed of some officials, the reform failed.

So a few decades after his death, the Jingkang Incident occurred.

After the complete loss of the north, the common people at that time would probably miss Wang Anshi's reforms. If Wang Anshi's reforms had been successful, perhaps they could have reversed the situation and they would not have been trampled under the iron hoofs of the northern barbarians.

But everything can only be recalled and cannot be truly faced. After all, failure is failure. After all, some people can only be taught how to be human beings through things happening to them, and they cannot know how to be human beings all at once.

Chen Han's current reforms cannot possibly require the people to be whipped before they can see the real benefits, so he will reform while giving some benefits to the people, because only in this way can the people see the benefits of reforms and will they persist.

This was a choice Chen Han made after learning from the failure of Wang Anshi's reform. Even though he disliked these officials, he had no choice but to do so in order to get them to truly support his reforms. Because you are only one person, and if you want to implement your policies, you can only raise some dogs like this to bark for you...
