I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 162 Discussing Law in the Court
  In fact, the ins and outs of this matter are very simple.

The prototype of the Capital University was the preface of Chencang New City. The preface of Chencang New City played a key role in the Fifth Northern Expedition.

Especially when crossing the Wei River, Li Heng used hundreds of craftsmen to build a new city in less than a month and seize the strategic high ground.

The establishment of a new school in Chengdu was also approved by Zhuge Liang.

But that doesn't mean everyone agrees.

Human beings are creatures whose butt determines their head.

Who are the people recruited by the new school?

Artisans, farmers, textile craftsmen.

These people are actually the majority of this era, but historical materials will not record them.

Because all resources in this era are controlled by aristocratic families.

These include land, population, natural resources, promotion channels, personnel appointments and dismissals, the right to interpret public opinion, etc.

If they tell the mud-legged people that daytime is black, then the mud-legged people will shout: Daytime is black!

The imperial court can only mobilize to this level of aristocratic families.

At the peak of Ji Han, there were about [-] troops in the country.

After the Battle of Yiling, Ji Han only had tens of thousands of soldiers left to fight.

After Zhuge Liang came to power, it took several years to develop and recover to about [-] troops.

The official population recorded in Da Sinong's accounts is probably around one million.

But the actual population is more than four million.

What is this concept?
  More than three million people are invisible.

Zhuge Liang's five Northern Expeditions mobilized troops from millions of people.

Most of the people are imprisoned in the manor of the noble family.

These people can only do one thing, which is to work on the manor, which is not limited to farming, handicrafts, mining, etc.

These incomes are not recorded in the taxes of Da Si Nong, but go directly into the pockets of the wealthy families themselves.

Li Heng certainly knew that establishing a capital university would cause public outrage.

He did it on purpose!

Now that the overall situation in Guanzhong is as stable as an old dog under the supervision of the prime minister, he wants to start trouble in Yizhou through this gap.

Better to make things bigger.

Get more people involved and start weaving accusations.

Anyway, there are still a lot of aristocratic families queuing up at the gate of Taifu Temple to cooperate with him.

Even if he overturns the table in the court today, the situation will not collapse!
  On the contrary, when Cao Wei and Sun Wu reacted and began to deploy heavy troops at various important border crossings, there was no strategic window at that time.

Everyone looked at Li Heng angrily. Runan was about to ask questions, but was interrupted by Li Heng.

Li Heng stared at Runan with his eyes like a knife: "Your good boy has injured more than a dozen people. He is so good at beating. I suggest you send him directly to Chang'an to fight against the Wei thieves! I believe he can make great achievements!"

"you……"

"I have reported this matter to the Prime Minister. When the time comes, I will give him armor and let him rush to the front. Lord Wei, with his ability, he will take them all! I can't take it down. I'm sorry for his arrogance! I'm even more sorry for you, a good father. Teach me carefully!”

"You are shameless!" Runan said angrily, "The reason why my son hurt others was because he had no choice but to do so. They..."

"Whether your son was forced to hurt others is not up to you! Dali has already obtained detailed evidence!"

"Li Heng!" Yin Mo interrupted Li Heng's words loudly, "You despicable villain! Since you arrived in the capital, the capital has become smoky and people are in panic. Tell me! Are you a spy sent by the Wei thieves?" Li Heng however Ignoring Yin Mo, he said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, is this the Minister of Dali?"

Liu Chan curled his lips and said, "Of course you are Dali Qing!"

"Since I am the Minister of Dali, I hold the law of the Han Dynasty. I want to admonish the monarch at the top, and whip the evildoers at the bottom! Now Ru Chao and others have no regard for the king's law and are hurting people indiscriminately in the capital's university hall! Where is the law of the imperial court! What is the majesty of the emperor? Where is it!"

Li Heng's voice echoed in the hall.

"you……"

"The Prime Minister has devoted all his efforts to Guanzhong, and the troops on the front line have sacrificed their lives, so that Guanzhong and Longyou can recover!" Li Heng walked up to Runan in one step and stared directly at these people, "And yours is so big My son, you are living in Chengdu, living in luxury, enjoying yourself, and doing all kinds of things! Do you want to tell me that your family in the new capital is superior to others?"

Runan immediately said loudly: "From generation to generation of your family in my new capital..."

"Higher than the Prime Minister?"

"I……"

Li Heng said: "On the occasion of the Northern Expedition, men are fighting and women are farming. Following the late emperor's legacy, we must expel the Wei thieves and return the old capital to rule the world! As important ministers of the imperial court, what are you doing!"

Yin Mo laughed loudly: "Shuzi! You are ignorant and have no skills, how dare you claim to rule the world!"

Li Heng said: "Oh, what does Doctor Yin have to say?"

"Xunzi said: The previous kings hated the chaos, so they divided etiquette and righteousness so that there would be rich and poor, high and low, etc., so that they could meet each other. This is the foundation of nourishing the world!"

Yin Mo flicked his long sleeves and threw out Xunzi's words.

"Do you know what this sentence means?"

Li Heng sneered, he still understood the meaning of this sentence.

Xunzi was originally one of the representatives of Confucianism and Legalism, and Zhuge Liang governed Ji Han with Confucianism and Legalism.

The meaning of Xunzi's words is that the ancient sages hated the chaos in the world, so they formulated etiquette and righteousness to make the world have distinctions between rich and poor, high and low, and let them supervise each other. This is the stability of the world. fundamental.

When Yin Mo said this, he directly labeled Li Heng's new school as causing trouble in the world.

After all, the emergence of new learning still violates part of the power order of this era.

Behind the power order is the interest order.

If civilians can read, think, and enter the officialdom, it will be a disaster for the soldiers of the wealthy families.

Because official position is also a resource, a superior social resource.

High-quality resources are extremely rare and are recommended by internal people. They must also be internal people.

But what Li Heng did now was to start tearing down tables and burning down houses, leaving everyone without a place to live or eat meat.

"You want to talk to me about Xunzi?" Li Heng sneered. During the year he came to Chengdu, he read through the thoughts of Confucianism and Legalism.

Yin Mo said: "I am just talking about Xunzi with you, an ignorant person, but you should answer what I just said!"

Li Heng said: "Xunzi said that there must be dignity and hierarchy in the world, so that we can supervise each other and live in peace."

"Well said! Go and see what kind of bullshit Capital Academy you have, who are they recruiting?" Yin Mo laughed and said, "They are all despicable people. If you recruit them to the Capital Academy, isn't it upside down?" Morality!"

Finally, Yin Mo's tone became more serious and he shouted angrily: "This is the beginning of the great chaos!"

"Why didn't Doctor Yin finish what Xunzi said?" Li Heng said with a smile, "Are you afraid of something?"

"Huh, I'm done!"

"Now it's my turn to say it!"
