Chapter 252 The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least!(3/3)
These are the things you can’t see!”
"I saw that in the barren fields and even in the garbage dumps of the market, bursts of heart-wrenching cries could be heard from time to time, one after another, continuously! These cries made me cry.
My heart will be pulled together."
"I saw these baby girls. They were abandoned in the Eagle Tower and could only lie quietly in the tower, lying on the corpses of other girls, lying under the heavy taxes and labor, and finally... drifting in the dust of history
, leaving no trace."
"What I see is the suffering of all people, the cruelty of the sky, and their silent struggle. What I see is this deep memorial ceremony under the gaze of the undead baby girl who is a stranger to me..."
Having said this, Liu Bei paused for a moment, and he bowed deeply towards these cold, blood-stained stone slabs.
He pursed his lips. At this moment, Liu Bei was already crying.
Fazheng hurriedly handed over the silk pad, and Liu Bei slowly wiped away the tears on his face.
"I understand, I suddenly understood. Isn't the difference between me, Liu Bei, and his traitor Cao the same 'kindness' and 'kindness'? If I saw the Eagle Tower today, I would still be indifferent. If I saw the Eagle Tower today, I would still be indifferent.
I realize that from the Zhou Dynasty to the present Han Dynasty, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of female infants died every year, and I am still indifferent? If I see this heavy poll tax and the suffering people being oppressed, even
The daughter I gave birth to can’t be saved either. ‘If a boy is born, congratulate each other, but if a girl is born, kill her.’ I’m still indifferent?”
"Then what's the difference between me and the thief Cao? Am I worthy of the baby girls who have died due to bad habits and burdens over the past thousand years? Am I worthy of their gaze from the horizon? Am I worthy of the kindness and love that I have always adhered to?
?”
Speaking of which…
Liu Bei paused for a moment, then looked around at everyone: "You are all my meritorious ministers, Liu Bei. You have repeatedly asked me for this fertile and wild farmland in the Chengdu Plain. It's not that I won't give it to you, but if I give it to you? Who will give it to you?
What are the chances of these baby girls surviving? Today...it is still this farmland, I have figured it out, I still want to reward you, but let me see, who among you can bear the heavy burden of this farmland?"
Speaking of which…
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and said: "Kong Ming, read——"
Zhuge Liang took out a piece of government order from his arms at the right time.
He read aloud:
"——General Zuo of the Han Dynasty issued an order to abolish the original calculation and oral taxes of the Han Dynasty and implement a new land tax and taxation system-the land and the land were merged into one, and the land was divided into acres! From today on, all the cultivated land in Jingzhou and Shuzhong will be re-measured
, all taxes are paid by those with cultivated land, and those without cultivated land do not need to pay any taxes."
"General Han Zuo said that he will immediately inform the world that in the land ruled by General Han Zuo, no one, male or female, old or young, may collect a 'head tax' in any name. All states and counties will put an end to the bad habit of drowning female infants! In all Han lands,
All Han ministers must abide by their duties, breed more people, and never pay taxes... Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy——"
Zhuge Liang's voice was not loud, but every word and every sentence was deafening!
Because of the opportunity of the abandoned baby girl.
——The policy of abolishing the number of heads and dividing the tax per acre will be vigorously implemented in Shuhan today!
In fact…
The problem of baby girls has been recorded in many ancient books.
In "Han Feizi·Six Antis" - "Parents are like to their children. If they give birth to a boy, they will congratulate each other, but if they give birth to a girl, they will kill them!"
According to "The Biography of Liu Zhan in Southern History" - "Whenever Zhan gives birth to a daughter, he kills her, which is very strange for the times!"
According to "The Biography of Luo Qinruo, Shiyi of the Song Dynasty" - "During the Shaoxing period, Ganzhou was the general judge. The customs of the state hated women and would drown them when they were born!"
Perhaps these... can't more intuitively show the cruelty of such bad habits.
For example, including the Rwandan genocide, the Jewish genocide, and even the first and second world wars, the death toll ranged from 15 million to 72 million.
But... around the world, the number of people who have been killed because they were girls throughout the ages is approximately: 100 million!
This number is too shocking.
In China, it is the so-called "poll tax" that allows this bad habit to be passed down from generation to generation.
Because of what Guan Lin mentioned about "spreading a small person into an acre"
Zhuge Liang found a way to avoid the tragedy of "baby girl"!
In the same way, this "dividing a small family into a small family" is more like allowing Liu Bei to find a brand new path...
A path that is destined to be diametrically opposed to Cao Cao's "forceful massacre" and is bound to work.
This isn’t just a baby girl issue…
This means that from this moment on, Liu Bei will follow the same path - the people's line, the people's road!
As the saying goes - the prosperity of government depends on obeying the people's hearts;
The key to government is to win the hearts and minds of the people;
Government is abolished because it goes against the will of the people.
Because Liu Bei's work was divided into acres and acres of land, the route Liu Bei followed has been fixed, and he has been deeply tied to the "people".
This route will continue to be about politics, people and people!
yes:
——The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the most important!
With this in mind, Liu Bei looked around at everyone.
His eyes narrowed and his tone was meticulous: "Officials, I, Liu Bei, don't want to settle in a corner. I, Liu Bei, always want to do something for the great Han people and thousands of common people. Therefore, if this 'share a small family's share'
The government decree will definitely infringe on the interests of some of you. I, Liu Bei, apologize to you in advance today..."
"If you accept my apology, then you will be my brother Liu Bei, working side by side with me to forge the great man who defeated Cao Cao into a brand new look!"
If you don’t accept it, then it doesn’t matter, just throw all your hatred and all your open and covert arrows at me, Liu Bei! Don’t hurt innocent people!”
Liu Bei's words...
Yiqian Wenwu didn't react for a while, and was still experiencing the shock in his brain circuit.
Only Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng understood the deeper meaning here.
Xuande is...protecting Guan Yunqi!
Protect this young man from Qilin who proposed the national policy of "dividing a young man into an equal share"!
