Zhao Han pointed to Huang Zongxi again: "The so-called Donglin Party and Fushe are either the second shopkeeper or the shareholders who want to be the shopkeeper. You think you can make the company prosperous, but you have been greedy for the money of the company. Even if you don't greedy now , will be greedy in the future! May I ask how many honest officials there are in the world? In my opinion, the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party are the same... Don't be angry, everyone, I know you have virtues, but what good is virtue in governing the country and the people?"

Huang Zongxi stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir for your enlightenment, I will take my leave!"

Zhao Han said, "Just live on this boat."

The three were taken to the cabin, where Zheng Sen, Kuang Lu, Wang Dai, Zhang Jiayu and other secretaries who followed the army lived together.

While greeting each other, Huang Zongxi took out "Theory of Family, Country and World", and re-read it while thinking carefully.

The next day, sail westward.

Huang Zongxi wrote quickly, not only revising "Yuanjun", but also writing two articles "Yuanchen" and "Yuanmin".

Taken together, the content of the three articles is as follows:

All the people are raised by nature, and survive and reproduce through labor.All industries, regardless of high or low, are creating wealth for the country.

However, people need to resist natural disasters, fight against foreign enemies, mediate disputes and punish crimes.Therefore, there must be a leader, and this person is the monarch of the world.

The monarch is supported by all the people and has supreme power.His power is endowed by the people, and it should be for the well-being of the people, otherwise it belongs to an incompetent monarch.

There are many people, the world is too big, and the monarch cannot govern alone, so hundreds of civil and military officials and officials are needed.The way to be a minister is not to be loyal to the emperor, but to be loyal to the people.Officials do not have the salary of the king, but the salary of the people.

"Yuanjun", "Yuanchen", and "Yuanmin" were written, and they were first circulated in the cabin.

Kuang Lu exclaimed: "Sir, you are a great talent, this is a masterpiece!"

"This is a statement that harms the country!" Tao Aizhi was furious, "As a minister, he should be loyal to the emperor. He said that Mr. Zhao, without him raising his arms and shouting, would there be great governance in Jiangxi? Buried in the belly of tigers and leopards. It is not for the people to support Mr. Zhao, but for Mr. Zhao to provide for the people. We are ministers, eat the king's salary, and are loyal to the king!"

Although Zheng Sen, Wang Dai, Zhang Jiayu and others did not speak, they all looked thoughtful.

Wu Yingji said: "It's useless for you and me to argue, it's better to ask Mr. Zhao to have a look."

"Let's go!" Tao Ai said angrily.

Everyone went to the cabin next door, and Huang Zongxi presented the article with the manuscript.

Zhao Han smiled more happily this time, and nodded in approval: "It's very much to my liking, everyone, please sit down and talk."

Tao Aizhi couldn't help but said: "Mr. Town, this article is deceiving the public. If someone secretly instigates the establishment of a new dynasty in the future, it may cause big trouble. Let's say that the Chenghua, Zhengde, and Jiajing dynasties, the people are also suffering. If this article is popular, I am afraid that it will be destroyed in the morning, how can there be Zhang Jiangling's reform?"

"It's not as serious as you said. The people rebelled when they couldn't survive. Are there any of these three articles that are the same?" Teach the ruler and ministers how to govern the country. If the ruler and ministers are not effective in governing the country, the people will rebel. If my children and grandchildren are foolish rulers, the people should also rebel. If the second or third generation perishes, it will be their own disaster."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was speechless.

How can there be a founding monarch who cursed his own dynasty, the second and third kings?

Just as everyone was looking at each other, Kuang Lu suddenly knelt down on the ground: "Nanhai Kuang Lu, I am willing to die for my lord!"

Huang Zongxi also tidied up his clothes, and knelt down straight with the hem of his clothes in his hands. The president knelt and shouted: "Yuyao Huang Zongxi, I wish to die for my lord!"

Seeing this, Zheng Sen felt his blood boil, and was about to come and bow down.

Zhao Han raised his hand to stop Zheng Sen, and said to the others: "You don't have to kneel, they are willing. The two of them are not kneeling, but the people of the world. I can only live and suffer on behalf of the people. Of."

Zheng Sen said: "I am also willing."

"Haha, you are still young, and there are some truths that need to be realized slowly." Zhao Han got up, and bowed to Kuang Lu and Huang Zongxi in return, "You two gentlemen, please stand up."

Gu Gao looked at Wu Yingji, and Wu Yingji also looked over, both of them had extremely complicated emotions.

Their words and deeds in the past have been considered very radical, and they often put up big-character posters together in Nanjing.

But compared with Zhao Han, Kuang Lu, and Huang Zongxi, they are nothing.

Zhao Han returned the three articles to Huang Zongxi, and warned: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Your articles are not detailed enough. You only restrain the monarch and officials. You say what the monarch should do, what the officials should do, and what should the officials do? Do not restrain the people?"

"Restrain the people?" Huang Zongxi was puzzled.

Zhao Han asked: "Gentlemen are powerful, are they people? Bandits and traitors, are they people?"

"Thank you for your instruction, my lord, I will take it back immediately and make up for it." Huang Zongxi admired him sincerely.

Zhao Han said to the crowd: "The monarch, the ministers, and the people should each perform their own duties and secure their own roles. The world will be peaceful and the world will be prosperous. If there is a foolish ruler, the ministers should advise them; if there are corrupt officials, the ruler should punish them; There are treacherous people, and the emperor and his ministers rule them. If the emperor and his ministers are fooled and cause chaos in the world, all the people should rise up and have their lives destroyed!"

Zhao Han pointed to Huang Zongxi: "This passage is also written into the article, and it will be selected into "Datong Collection" and published all over the world!"

Huang Zongxi bowed respectfully, his eyes suddenly became moist, he was convinced that he had met the Ming Lord.

Everyone dispersed.

Gu Gao pulled Wu Yingji to a corner, and whispered, "What Zhao Zongzhen said today reminds me of Taizu's "Yu Zhi Da Gao"."

Wu Yingji smiled wryly: "The "Yuzhi Dagao" only allowed the people to arrest corrupt officials and bring them to Beijing, but this one made the people rebel. But it's not that serious. If the people have something to eat, they will definitely not rebel. If forced The whole world is against it, and whether or not there are these articles is actually irrelevant.”

"This set of remarks is self-contradictory," Gu Gao said, "Since the people rebellion is justified, as officials, should you help the people rebel, or help the emperor to quell the chaos?"

Wu Yingji said: "If Daming can still be saved, you and I will naturally help the emperor put down the chaos. Now that Daming is hopeless, aren't you and I here to help the people rebel? Your doubts are superfluous."

"Indeed." Gu Gao nodded.

Wu Yingji suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and clapped his hands in admiration: "This Zongzhen Zhao is really powerful. Once the three articles were published, it not only proved that he was justified in rebelling, but also confirmed that Emperor Chongzhen was a fool who deserved to be revolutionized. Moreover, the landlord is powerful. He can also be denounced as a traitor, and his policy of forcibly dividing the land is also right. Any mandarin slaves, any bandits, are all people who trouble the common people, and only he, Zhao Zongzhen, Jiangxi, is the real wise monarch! No matter what he does in the future Everything can be justified!"

Gu Gao was stunned, inexplicably terrified.

He thought Zhao Han was just passionate and caring, but he didn't expect to have so many complicated thoughts!

Wu Yingji also said: "The "Yu Zhi Da Gao" has been shelved by Chengzu, how long can "Da Tong Ji" exist? At most one or two generations of kings, "Da Tong Ji" will be deleted beyond recognition."

"Boom~Boom~~~~"

There was a sound of piano, but Kuang Lu was in a happy mood, playing the piano and singing on the deck.

Kuang Lu didn't think as much as Wu Yingji. When he was young, he was unrestrained, and the young man avoided disaster and visited half of China.Hearing a lot, seeing a lot, thinking a lot, after hearing what Zhao Han said today, he was completely overwhelmed by his heart.

Another hour later, Huang Zongxi came over with the supplemented article: "Brother Kuang, please correct me. If there is anything wrong, I will take it and revise it."

"Correcting should not be done, it's just mutual confirmation." Kuang Lu said happily.

These two people were strangers before, but now they seem to be friends who have known each other for many years.

While they were discussing the article, it was almost evening, and the fleet docked between Hekou Town and Ehu Town.

After many years, Zhao Han finally returned to Qianshan Mountain, and he still brought the army.

Chapter 296 [A Good Wife at Home]

Goose Lake, Fei Zhai.

Due to the dispute between the second child and the third child to divide the family and property, Ehu Fei's main clan has been divided into three.

The household registration is divided, and the house is shared.

Moreover, the boundaries of the scope are clearly drawn, which courtyard belongs to which family, and generally they will not randomly drop by.

Two-thirds of the domestic slaves left, and those who remained were all converted into employment contracts.The shopkeepers of the shops, who used to be domestic slaves, are now all hired workers.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Ah! Ma'am, don't hit me, the servant will be beaten to death!"

"Screaming so loudly, I think you are far from death!"

"..."

The second son, Fei Yingqi, has a shrewd wife, the Zheng family, who has never dared to take a concubine.

This shrewd wife is very fierce. She has beaten and killed domestic slaves before, but she still hasn't restrained herself much.

Mrs. Zheng was sitting in the hall at the moment, holding a bamboo stick, and said with a stern expression: "Do you know what's wrong?"

"I know I'm wrong, this servant knows I'm wrong." The maid knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound even if she wanted to sob.

Mrs. Zheng sneered and said, "You bitch, you are becoming more and more lawless. Don't think that you bastards will be able to turn around if Brother Han releases the slaves. In this E Lake, it is still my Fei family who has the final say, Brother Han He is also the son-in-law of the Fei family. If you report to the officials, from the village to the town to the county, which official would dare to disgrace my Fei family?"

The maid repeatedly begged for mercy: "Ma'am, please forgive me, this servant will not dare, this servant will not dare!"

"Hmph, don't fight for three days, and go to the house to remove the roof tiles," Zheng muttered and complained, "This brother Han is really good. It's all right to divide the family and property, and distribute it to your own family. The land is distributed to the lowly and shabby outsiders. , turning your elbows outward. The worst thing is to release you house slaves!"

The maid kowtowed immediately: "Your servant is born to belong to Madam, and to die is Madam's ghost. In the next life, I will serve Madam even as an ox or a horse."

"You're smart, go back." Zheng Shi just gave up.

However, Fei's treatment of the slaves in the whole Goose Lake is relatively normal.Even Mr. Fei, who framed Zhao Han, was still kind and would not beat, scold or scare anyone.

Only the Zheng family of the second family is almost abusive.

After Zhao Han's land distribution order and slave release order, many of the old masters, bosses, and domestic slaves in the third courtyard were willing to stay and become servants.

Especially for married women, their husbands were allocated the land, and they could work as servants in Fei's family to make money, and their small life became more and more prosperous.

Only in the courtyard of the second child, all the slaves ran away, and there was no one left, and Zheng's abuse was unbearable.

After the work of dividing the land was over, the missionary officers withdrew collectively, leaving only the missionary department in the county government.Although the farmer's association was formed, its key members were transferred in various ways. Now the village head and the farmer's association dare not offend the Fei family.

Therefore, the Zheng family forcibly recalled the former servants.

She didn't dare to provoke those with too strong a temper, but only dared to call back those with weak personalities.They were forced to sign employment contracts, and they were beaten severely if they disobeyed. The number of beatings was even more than before.

"Third Master, Zhao Tianwang is back!"

It was already dark, and the youngest Fei Yingke was in the concubine's room, when she heard the news, she hurriedly got up and put on her clothes.

The second wife's first wife is fierce and has never dared to take concubines.

The third wife's main wife is weak, and she already has ten concubines, leaving six sons and thirteen daughters.

The concubine's room is not allowed to divide the land!

This is the rule set by Zhao Han, the purpose is to let the concubine leave voluntarily, and not to be greedy for a man's power and money.

The third eldest, Fei Yingke, is a lover, with one wife and ten concubines. No one wants to leave, and everyone thinks he is a good husband.

Fei Yingke put on her clothes, opened the door and asked, "Where is Zongzhen Zhao?"

The male servant replied: "It seems that I don't want to interfere with the merchant passenger ship. It stopped between Hekou Town and Ehu Town and didn't disembark."

Fei Yingke said: "It's getting late, don't bother me. Prepare your etiquette, set off at midnight tonight, and meet you by the river tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll get ready now." The maid left immediately.

Although Fei Yingke coaxed everyone to be filial, she forced her father to divide the family property.But he is really kind to his wives and concubines, and his sons and daughters are also filial. Three sons have been sent to be officials, and two of them will definitely be promoted this time.

The servants in the yard got busy, and they were in full swing, just like a New Year's holiday.

Fei Yingqi, the second child in the yard next door was woken up, and asked confusedly, "Is this the third child's house being burglarized?"

"It's so noisy, and they don't let people sleep!" Zheng sat up and cursed.

Fei Yingqi was made even more upset, why didn't this wicked woman die?He was very envious of his third brother having ten concubines. He took one in his early years and was beaten to death by his wife.

Seeing that her husband didn't speak, Zheng scolded: "Are you dead? Why don't you go and see what's going on outside!"

Fei Yingqi could only shout: "Xilan, Xilan!"

After shouting a few times in response, Mrs. Zheng scolded: "This lowly servant girl has only been beaten up, and she pretends to be deaf and dumb and refuses to listen."

The couple could only get up by themselves, and when they got dressed and went out, they found that all the servants in their yard had run away, and the servants under their son and daughter were gone.

Fei Yingqi muttered, "I'm afraid something serious has happened."

Mrs. Zheng was terrified: "Could it be the officers and soldiers from Zhejiang who came here? I've said it, I've said it, Zhao Han is a domestic slave, how can he beat the officers and soldiers of the imperial court..."

"Shut up!" Fei Yingqi said angrily.

"You dare to yell at me?"

Mrs. Zheng directly began to mourn: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow..."

"Too lazy to know as much as you!" Fei Yingqi said gloomily.

Zheng's usual trick is to cry, make trouble and hang himself.If this trick fails, I will go back to my mother's house and cry.If it still doesn't work, then go outside and cry and make noises, picking the best time for Fei Yingqi to get together with friends.

After coming down several times, Fei Yingqi was ashamed in front of her friends, and never dared to provoke the shrewd wife at home again.

Fei Yingqi ran towards the third younger brother's courtyard, only to see that the palanquin, gift boxes and many other items had been dug out and placed in the courtyard outside.

"Is this something serious?" Fei Yingqi asked.

A servant smiled and said, "Zhao Tianwang has returned to Qianshan Mountain, he is on the boat by the river. Second Master, you must be careful, I am afraid that some servants will complain in the middle of the night."

"Zhao... Zhao..."

Great fear arose in Fei Yingqi's heart, he knew where the servants in his yard had gone.

It's not that some servants are going to sue, but all the servants are on the way to sue!
