Three Kingdoms

"One guarantee for every ten households, one armor for every hundred households?"

Before the announcement, the streets of Chang'an were filled with people and there was a lot of discussion.

"Within Baojia, there is a joint sitting system. If you are guilty, the person who does not accuse the traitor will be guilty of the same crime. If you accuse, you will be exempted and get half of the crime's wealth!" Someone read aloud, and then sighed, "Those who accuse will get half of the crime! In this way, , there will be chaos!"

"Hmm... not necessarily..." Another person pointed at one of the items and said, "If you accuse someone falsely, you should fight against the crime..."

"Households in the village can choose to be included in the insurance first," someone else said. "Those with military titles will be listed in the military register separately and will not be included in the insurance..."

"If there is a thief, arsonist, traitor, or poisoner within the Tongbao, if you know about it but do not retaliate, according to the Baojia Law..."

"This..." someone sighed, "this is Gongsun's method...could it be that Hussar wanted to learn it..."

"Be careful!"

"Since such a notice has been made clear, how can we be careful about what we say?"

There was a lot of discussion, but the soldiers guarding the notice looked like two statues of gods, with their heads raised and their eyelids lowered, as if they were looking at ants, looking at the nobles in front of them who were a little restless because of the introduction of the armor protection method.

Comment on politics?

Yes, but comments are comments, and they should still be unambiguous when it comes to execution.

What's more, this system of sitting together is not the first of its kind by Fei Qian. Lao Guanzhong is already used to it, so it's not a big deal. Only these outsiders look like country savages. They really haven't seen any big scenes and despise them. .

The Baojia system prepared by Fei Qian is also a wise move.

Of course, continuous sitting is not the patent of Gongsun Yang of Qin Dynasty, that is, Shang Yang. As early as in the "Book of Rites of Zhou", there are records indicating that during the Zhou Dynasty, officials specializing in the management of household registration had been established, and the Shiwu Lianzu system was implemented in the country's grassroots society. However, the Qin Dynasty truly implemented it completely. Just put it into practice and strictly implement it.

Lianzuo also existed in the Han Dynasty, but basically the main target was not the common people, but the military. It was not until the Song Dynasty that Wang Anshi re-promoted it to the public level.

I have to say that Wang Anshi is indeed outstanding. Although due to historical limitations, Wang Anshi was not able to consider it comprehensively, so that Wang Anshi's reforms were overturned not long after, but this does not mean that the Baojia system is useless.

Otherwise, there would be no subsequent dynasties that would carry it forward and pass it on.

The prototype of Baojia already existed during the Han and Tang Dynasties. In the Han Dynasty, five families were called "Wu", ten families were called "Shi", and hundreds of families were called "Li"; in the Tang Dynasty, four families were called "Neighbors", five neighbors were called "Bao", and hundreds of families were called "Li".

Wang Anshi's original Baojia system version 1.101 had a big bug in it, which was Baoding. Wang Anshi's idea was to conduct mass military training and establish a huge militia base. Firstly, he could use Baoding to eliminate bandits and bandits in various places. Secondly, it could complement the recruitment system of the Song Dynasty and improve the supply of soldiers. Thirdly, it could also save some troops. Expenses, hiding troops in the wild.

However, ideally, they are all gods and goddesses, but in reality, they are all men and women.

Don't underestimate the fine tradition of the Chinese people who have policies and countermeasures.

Wang Anshi's method of protecting armor included subsidies for Baoding. Baoding went up to the limit, that is, he participated in militia training. "Each person was provided with three liters of daily food and ten coins for salt and vegetables." The capital and deputy Baozheng could receive additional benefits. The money is seven thousand coins, and the chief security officer is three thousand coins.

Since there is a subsidy from "Guo Fengxiao" classmate, some people will naturally think about picking off some sesame seeds from the top of the "shaobing" to eat. Of course, at the beginning, the sesame seeds are cut off, but when you pick one layer at a time, when you get to the bottom, "shaobing" "There are only two or three sesame seeds left..."

In addition, Wang Anshi’s original intention of adding the so-called capital, deputy security, chief security officer and other positions is also good. However, I believe that when handling some things, he has seen some very few places and a very small part of the community. From the temporary worker's face, one can roughly understand what a wonderful fire will be created once the chicken feathers meet the arrows.

Therefore, in the end, Wang Anshi's opposition said that the method of protecting armor was "sufficient enough to trap the people, but it was not beneficial to the military strength." This was considered fair and not a deliberate smear.

The method of protecting armor that Fei Qian currently uses is version 4.404, which was later upgraded.

In the Han Dynasty, there was a whistleblower bonus law, that is, the whistleblower could get half of the property of the guilty person...

This is a big killer weapon. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used it, and then Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also used it. If it is left to future generations, such as those who sell gutter oil, corrupt officials, unwritten rules in the film and television industry, or some criminal acts with great influence and serious harm, as long as the person who reports the report is confirmed and convicted, he can be punished. If a person's property is half, will the whole country immediately become a sunrise?

Of course, such a reporting bonus law also has its negative effects, but just like a weapon, it depends on how the user uses it. If you use it well, it will be a sharp blade, if you use it poorly, it will cut yourself.

Therefore, Fei Qian specifically emphasized one point: Those who falsely accuse should turn against the crime. Just like many cases of cheating in later generations, although a wave of arrests and punishments have been made, little effect has been achieved. There are also cases where the cost of committing crimes is very low due to age, gender, standards of culpability, etc. However, if they can be punished, The false accusers get closer, and the guilty ones are determined to be guilty...

Fei Qian's use of armor protection was also a helpless move.

On the one hand, after all, there was a rule in the Han Dynasty that those who concealed a close relationship were not guilty, so sometimes some crimes were covered up like this, and the joint sitting regulations between Baojia and the bonus of reporting, invisibly broke the relationship between close relatives and friends. The anonymity situation will make the entire public security situation a more stable environment.

At the same time, Fei Qian does not set up village official ranks. After all, there are already inspections. Baojia is only responsible for mutual supervision and has no specific law enforcement rights or other authorities. Because the reward and punishment systems are very cruel, so as long as there are more Chaoyang The masses do not need those temporary community workers who behave evilly.

On the other hand, the Baojia system is actually poaching the corners of the noble families. Of course, at this stage, most of the noble families have not realized that Fei Qian has dug a hole in the corner...

Fei Qian knew very well that Wang Anshi's implementation of Baojia was obviously to deal with the Song Dynasty's redundant troops, but Wang Anshi must also have some thoughts on reforming the Song Dynasty's serious land annexation and uneven taxation and servitude.

In particular, the gap between rich and poor is too large, which is the most fatal.

Most of the peasant uprisings in the past dynasties had the slogan of "equalizing wealth and rank". The more severe the gap between the rich and the poor, the greater the possibility of peasant uprisings. For example, in the Song Dynasty, during the reign of Zhenzong and Renzong, six or seven large-scale peasant uprisings broke out, which was also quite rare.

Redundant soldiers, redundant personnel, and redundant expenses are the three major problems of the Song Dynasty. However, in fact, these three mountains are not exclusive to the Song Dynasty. Any dynasty will appear more or less as long as it develops to a certain stage.

The ruler of a dynasty must have the means to restrain the people. Otherwise, if the people are lost, what is the point of ruling? Therefore, the rule of feudal dynasties in all dynasties must improve the system that binds the people to the land, and the later dynasties, the more sophisticated the methods.

First, the people were exiled to the same crime as thieves, and then the method of protecting armor was adopted, and then the household registration of various types of personnel was revised, divided into military households, farmers, merchants, etc. Not only one generation, but also descendants wanted to crucify and stop chaos. move……

Generally speaking, as long as there is a private land system, the problem of land annexation will definitely arise. Although in name, it may be said that the emperor owns the land of the world, it is of no use. In the early days of the feudal dynasty, when the population was sparse, The land is still divided enough, and the price of land is cheap, and there is not much buying and selling. However, in the later period of the dynasty, the land will become more and more concentrated in the hands of the big landowner class, and the big landowner class will desperately collect more land while dying. Push up the price of land to obtain more and greater benefits...

For Fei Qian, at this stage, he has no way to solve this contradiction in one fell swoop. He can only use a form similar to stepped taxation to control excessive land annexation, and at the same time launch an inspection system, which is somewhat similar to the "armed police" "System to decentralize the local law enforcement power of the gentry, and now, coupled with the Baojia system.

The specific effectiveness of this system still needs to be tested over time. Now, there must be a large number of people flowing in the Qinglong Temple. Among these floating people, it is inevitable that there will be some people with one purpose or another. The implementation of the Baojia system can quickly screen out these people. After all, the Qinglong Temple lecture will continue for some time.

Pang Tong said with some worry: "Although we have implemented Baojia, I'm afraid it's too slow... If the evildoers take risks... Why don't we arrest and torture Weinan Lu Da first?"

Pang Tong was indeed a little scared. After all, the last time Fei Qian was assassinated, he almost made Pang Tong urinate on the spot. Even thinking about it now makes him feel a little scared, so he heard that there were some people with strange movements in Chang'an City. Naturally, The first priority is to seek stability.

Fei Qian knocked on the table gently, weighing the pros and cons. Who wants him dead at this stage? It seems to be said that all the other princes hope that Fei Qian will die immediately. There are even some people who pray to God and Buddha every day, praying that Fei Qian will die of choking when eating, drinking water, and even walking on the road. I fell down and hit my head on the stone steps and fell to death...

But it is one thing to hope or curse someone in your heart, but it is another thing to do it yourself and implement it.

In the Han Dynasty, when there were no hot weapons, even bows or crossbows with some sniper properties had certain limitations. Unless it was a coincidence, it was unlikely to be protected by heavy guards. Hit the target directly. In other words, if Fei retreats now, even if someone arranges an assassin, he probably won't be able to do it. But the question is, what if the assassin's target is not entirely him?

"This shouldn't be possible..." Pang Tong heard Fei Qian's worries, rolled his eyes slightly, shook his head and said, "The key to assassins is to kill the leader. If you only hurt your hands and feet, the effect will be very little." If you don't say anything, you will be retaliated immediately... Therefore, either the assassin is targeting the lord, or he will lie dormant and will not take action easily... I think there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days! The lord should do it early decision!"

"That's true," Fei Qian nodded. Keeping the thieves on their minds is always an unpleasant thing, but capturing Lu Da in Weinan, not to mention how much Lu Da knows about the situation, seems to be a bit of a risk of alerting the snake. If these rats, venomous snakes and the like are caused to hide deeper, , wouldn’t it be more difficult to remove?

Fei Qian pinched his beard and said, "What should I do if I follow Shi Yuan's wishes?"

"Let's let it go. Let's say that my lord will attend the lecture at Qinglong Temple in three days!" Pang Tong said almost immediately. He had obviously made a plan and was waiting for Fei Qian's approval. "First, send someone to keep an eye on the Ba Mausoleum in the city." The blacksmith's shop was inspected for those who purchased arrows, crossbows, knives and guns during this period, and hidden sentries were placed at various intersections, especially around the Qinglong Temple. If the thieves were interested, they would definitely send people to observe the surrounding areas, and their traces would naturally be exposed..."

The Han Dynasty did not ban swords and guns, and even bows and crossbows were not completely banned.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was once ready to ban weapons among the people, but later no ministers expressed any objection. Moreover, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also very generous and was not afraid of anyone who dared to attack him, so it was settled after that. , until Wang Mang’s period, I don’t know whether it was because Wang Mang was a little jealous, or because Wang Mang was aware of possible problems in the future, and once ordered a nationwide ban on crossbows...

However, Wang Mang's period was too short, so it was impossible to completely ban crossbows. Later, Liu Xiu also won the world with the support of the armed forces of the big landlord class, so it was impossible to completely ban weapons. Until the Tang Dynasty, Only then have some restrictions been imposed, such as spears, knives, armor, crossbows and other military weapons, such as daggers, bows and arrows, but they have not been banned from civilian use for a long time.

Therefore, it is very common for civilians to own weapons nowadays. However, because these people who come with malicious intentions generally do not carry a large number of weapons in order to pass through the pass smoothly, so what should be done first? , we must first add some swords, guns and weapons...

In addition, not all places from the General's Mansion to Qinglong Temple are suitable for assassination. As long as there is news, people with some ideas will definitely appear in these key positions, and then follow and observe, and there will naturally be There may be a chance to find these people.

"Peach trees grow on the well, and plum trees grow beside them. Insects come to bite the peach roots, and plum trees replace the peach branches..." Pang Tong finally said, "Now that my lord is in a high position, it is really the most important thing. He should be prepared for the changes in the Battle of Qin..."

Basically everyone who has read knows about the Battle of Qin, and Fei Qian naturally understands what Pang Tong means. It can be said that Pang Choufu should be the originator of the Shadow Warrior in Chinese history.

Fei Qian nodded silently and agreed with Pang Tong's strategy, but neither Fei Qian nor Pang Tong expected the strange changes that would follow...
