Chapter 76: Night Chat 5

Luo Qinshun did communicate with Wang Shouren, and the two naturally met, but this acquaintance was through letters and many debates. It seemed that there were more opponents than friends. Cao Muwen looked at Wang Shouren opposite and guessed what the situation was like now. Did Luo Qinshun give him another letter? Is there any wonderful sentence in the letter that made Wang Shouren suddenly realize? Cao Muwen naturally has seven ups and eights in his heart.

"I did hear this man." Cao Muwen replied, but he didn't dare to answer too much. What he knew about Luo Qinshun, but there were too many parts that he should know reasonably, so... let's pretend to be a little stupid!

Cao Muwen made up his mind and accepted it a little to calm down his heart, which had just beat a little faster. On the surface, he pretended that he was just thinking about it, but in fact, he was adjusting his heart rate so that his lies could be more true. It was best to make himself believe it.

"hehe." Cao Muwen cleared his throat and said, "I still know this man. This man is not only a court official like an adult, but also a scientist."

"Ha ha, that's right, that's right." Wang Shouren smiled softly and nodded in response. This Luo Qinshun, Lord Luo sent me another letter not long ago. I received it a few days ago. Even if I opened it and read it, of course..." Wang Shouren said that the words suddenly stopped here. Cao Muwen has been looking at Wang Shouren's facial expression. After all, he still doesn't know the three words of micro-expression, but Cao Muwen, who is lucky enough to live in modern society and knows something about it, knows it clearly. Before that, Wang Shouren began with a smile, which showed that Cao Muwen was right, and Wang Shouren naturally believed his words. This is also normal, because Cao Muwen knows the correct incident with his shameless "God's perspective", but from then on, his laughter revealed that he may not be aware of involuntary. Just now, he couldn't help but want to reveal the specific things he and Luo Qinshun talked about. . After all, letters are just not known to others. Of course, Cao Muwen knows it. Naturally, it is the two people's very profound philosophy of life about "the origin of the world" or "how to look at the world" and "the study of nature".

If Cao Muwen didn't say anything, if he was proud to let Wang Shouren know what he had in his heart, he would have jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it. So, he decided to... pretend to be stupid!

Cao Muwen asked curiously, "Your Excellency, it seems that the letter of Lord Luo Qinshunluo talks about what you have been thinking about these days. Do you two have any opinions in each other's letters?

"Well, that's right." Wang Shouren nodded approvingly, "I have always had a letter with Lord Luo, so it has been some years. In the past, we used to talk about the topic of 'psychology' and 'science', which I won't talk about in detail for the time being." Wang Shouren paused. He also said, "It's just that last time Lord Luo and I accidentally talked about the armor protection system of the Song Dynasty in my letter. Because of this, I suddenly had an idea in my heart, so I read ancient books many times. After sorting out during this period, I actually got more. Just now, I have a rough idea, and now I have a prototype."

So that's it. No wonder Wang Shouren was so happy just now. It turned out that he thought of a good idea to solve the current situation. This seems to be what he called the law of "security and preservation of the people". Cao Muwen thought of it and asked again, "So, my lord, what does the armor protection system you just mentioned in the Song Dynasty have anything to do with now?"

Wang Shouren looked at the young man who was not "inform" with his knowledge and age, and drank another cup. He recalled the law of peace that he had been thinking about day and night these days. Until now, he had a rough and hardest time, but for the court and for the world, it was also worth it. Just like the results of a person's efforts, he naturally wants more people to know and share them with more people. Just like that sentence: "You have an apple, I have an apple, and we still have one apple each; but the knowledge is different, you have an idea, and I have an idea. If the two communicate with each other, we all have two good ideas." Since this method is only a prototype, and... Wang Shouren looks at the person he admires very much, he is naturally trustworthy, so what's wrong with letting him know in advance? Wang Shouren also knew that he was definitely not a rigid person, otherwise he would not have given up the "grid bamboo" method in his childhood.

Wang Shouren paused for a moment, thinking about what he should say to not only try Cao Muwen's level, but also not make him too embarrassed... Wang Shouren pondered for a moment and asked, "Muwen, since you have been a government official for several years before you came to me, and you have been a waiter in this governor's mansion for several months. From now on, you are a person who has studied, so you should also know something about the method of armor protection in the Song Dynasty.

Cao Muwen thought for a little and nodded, "Well, I know. The adult's method seems to be related to the method of armor protection in the Song Dynasty. Speaking of this, Cao Muwen also had a sense of surprise in his heart, without the consternment he had just heard. It seems that Wang Shouren was the first to know the "ten cards" in governing local political achievements in his life. I am really a "big man" who has experienced historical events! Cao Muwen laughed at himself so much. However, I didn't expect that these "Ten Cards" had something to do with Luo Qinshun.

Traditional Chinese society is governed by an administrative structure. The most basic unit of this rule is the county, and there is no government agency below the county. Among the vast civil society below the county, a rural system has actually been implemented for thousands of years. This is a form of government-controlled non-governmental organization linked to the traditional Chinese clan system and patriarchal system. This organizational form was called the Shiwu method before the Qin and Han Dynasties. From the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was called the township system. After the Song Dynasty, it was changed to the Baojia system.

The armor protection system of the Song Dynasty originated from Wang Anshi's change of law. Wang Anshi implemented its law in three years in Xining: one out of every ten as a guarantee, and one is selected as the chief insurance officer; 50 as a major insurance, and one is selected as the chief insurance chief; the top ten guarantees are selected as one capital insurance, and one is selected as the deputy security officer; if there are more than two customers, one is selected as the chief insurance officer. This kind of protection law began to be implemented nationwide in six years. The following year, Guo chose 30 or 20 neighboring households in the county and selected the first division to supervise the tax and child service. If the chief's system is to maintain local security, the Jiatou system is to supervise taxes and labor for the government. This armor protection system is characterized by the integration of soldiers and the people, farming when they are busy, and practicing martial arts in their spare time. At that time, the burden was very heavy for farmers. This armor protection system shows the direct penetration of the feudal autocratic state machine into rural society. It is through this way of combining people and connecting families that the vast civil society in China is firmly controlled in the hands of the rulers.

After the Song Dynasty, the armor protection system was gradually implemented in China, gradually replacing the traditional rural system, but until the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the armor protection system was still a very strict form of organization. The situation varies from place to place, and the implementation of the armor protection system is also different, and there are big differences. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Southern Jiangxi and Wang Yangming, the imperial historian of the left capital, created the "Ten Cards Law", which made the armor protection system gradually mature and perfect. The main content of Wang Yangming's "Ten Cards" is: one card for every ten cards, and a small card in front of each door. It is stipulated that each person shall hold a license to inspect the situation every day and report to the official at any time. If there is a concealer, ten families will sit together. In the Qing Dynasty, from Shunzhi to Jiaqing, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the role of armor protection. In the fourth year of Yongzheng (1726), the Ministry of Public Affairs complied with the decree to protect armor law. Its method: "Ten households have one head, ten cards have one head, and ten households have one head." According to the regulations, even if the village is not up to standard, it can not be limited to specific rules. "Although the village is small, several families can be compiled into one." For the convenience of inspection, the law of Ten Guarantees has been better implemented, stipulating that each household will "issue a letter card". By the 22nd year of Qianlong, 15 articles of the Armor Protection Law were changed, making the armor protection system of the Qing Dynasty more specific and strict.

From Wang Yangming's invention of the "Ten Cards Law" to the 15th Law of the Qing Dynasty, the armor protection system has become more and more mature, and the government has become more and more strict control over society through the armor protection system. In the notice issued by the county magistrate of She County, Anhui Province in the 10th year of Guangxu, I saw the situation of the implementation of the armor protection law at that time: "Wu, the main hall of She County, is the general card, can now be the chief of armor protection: ten households have one card chief, ten cards have one armor chief, and ten armors have a director. They were instructed to fill in door-to-door, make a series of guarantees, and inspect each other to prevent treachery. For this reason, ten general doors are issued, indicating Dingkou, place of origin and occupation, and take turns to patrol. If a family is illegal for bandits and harbouring thieves, the nine families will come together, and there is no need to be blamed. Those who need cards. ...One is strictly forbidden to worship alliances and form a party in groups; one is strictly forbidden to deceive local fools in secret ways; one is strictly forbidden to steal prostitutes and harm good people; one is strictly forbidden to raise and transfer lawsuits with bars; one is strictly forbidden to privately cast private prime ministers; one is strictly forbidden to hide bandit accidents in gambling restaurants; one is strictly prohibit armed to fight against the masses; one is strictly prohibited from abduction of women and lure; one is strictly prohibited; It is forbidden for foreign beggars to play tricks; it is strictly forbidden to be idle, lazy and unemployed. Stir the wooden board and hang it in turn at the beginning of each door. This kind of pasted wooden board, hanging the head of each family is the so-called "ten cards". The "Ten Cards" created by Wang Shouren was divided into two kinds of wooden cards hung at that time: one is the one is the one that indicates the names of the ten families, which is hung by the card chief for rotating inspection; the other is the other is the one that only indicates the situation of the head of the household and the children, which is the cards hung by each family at the head of the door.
