102 [The Great Harmony of the World] (The tree for the leader is like this 12
The living room of the Huang family's ancestral home was transformed into the Wuxing Town Office meeting room.
Today is the founding meeting of the Datong Association.
There were twelve participants: Zhao Han, Pang Chunlai, Zhang Tieniu, Chen Maosheng, Fei Ruhe, Fei Chun, Huang Fei, Huang Fei, Jiang Dashan, Huang Yao, Huang Shun, and Huang Shunfu.
Huang Shunfu was the schoolboy section chief. Although he was a farmer, he was distant from Mr. Huang.
Moreover, although his family had a lot of land, they also had a lot of land, and they had been forcibly divided by Zhao Han.
From Huang Shunfu's point of view, it doesn't matter whether the family is divided or not. The important thing is to pay less taxes. His family will finally be able to have enough to eat this year.
As the first scholar in the town who took the initiative to serve, and who was very active and conscientious in his work, Zhao Han certainly wanted to be reused, and he was also allowed to attend the founding meeting of the Datong Association.
Zhao Han smiled and asked, "Have you all watched "The White-Haired Girl"?"
"See." Everyone nodded.
"How do you evaluate this play?" Zhao Han asked again.
"It's not as good as the Yiyang play," Fei Ruhe was the first to speak, and then added, "I saw that the villagers were filled with indignation. This play was performed for them, and it must have been performed in their hearts."
Huang Yao said with emotion: "The acting is so real that I can't bear to watch it every time."
Xiaocui said: "When I was rehearsing, I cried during the performance."
Fei Chun lamented: "Can someone else play Huang Shiren? In the next few scenes, if there weren't a group of brave men standing guard, I'm afraid I would have been beaten every time I acted."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone laughed loudly, even Pang Chunlai couldn't stop laughing.
Fortunately, he had a fake beard and a hat during the performance, otherwise Fei Chun would have been beaten when he went out!
Although Pang Chunlai had always wanted to rebel, his thoughts on rebellion were very traditional. He just wanted to make friends with the gentry and the three religions, wait for the changes in the world, and take the opportunity to rise up.
Until now, Pang Chunlai was gradually influenced by Zhao Han and began to accept the grassroots reform route.
Pang Chunlai said: "The drama is very good, and the people can understand it at a glance. First perform "The White-Haired Girl", and then hold a complaint meeting, and the people's emotions will be aroused. If the government dares to send troops, the people will not agree.
They all don’t want to live the hard life of the past. I think that every time we go to a place from now on, we will first allocate fields to farmers, then perform "The White-Haired Girl", and then hold a grievance meeting. After the grievance meeting, we will immediately recruit troops, and the people will definitely join the army enthusiastically.
!”
"Mr. Pang said it well!" Zhao Han took the lead in applauding.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
Others also applauded. They already knew that Pang Chunlai was Zhao Han's teacher.
Zhao Han suddenly said: "Yanchu (Huang Shunfu), come and read the general chapter of the Datong Association."
Being singled out by Zhao Han, Huang Shunfu was very excited. He quickly stood up and recited: "The journey of the great road is the same as the world is public... Therefore, if the outside is not closed, it is called Datong."
Zhao Han asked everyone: "Can everyone understand?"
Those who have read the book nod, and those who have not read the book nod and shake their heads. They can probably understand a small part of it.
Zhao Han ordered: "Yanchu, please tell everyone in common language."
There is a translator in the general chapter, and it is a translator that Zhao Han brought in privately. Huang Shunfu read it accordingly:
"The greatest truth in the world is to be public-minded. The world belongs to everyone. The court is the court of the emperor, the court of officials, the court of landlords, the court of craftsmen, the court of farmers, and the court of millions of people.
The imperial court of thousands of working people..."
"Since it is everyone's court, when selecting officials to do things, you should choose good people to be officials, and you should choose capable officials."
"The court and the government should be trustworthy and treat the people kindly. They should not just exploit the people all day long."
"The government and the people, and the people and the people, should all be as close as one family. You should love your own parents and children, and you should also love other people's parents and children."
"The elderly should enjoy their old age in peace. People who cannot work when they are old should still have food and clothing, and have children who will die with filial piety. Young people should have fields to cultivate, jobs to do, books to study, and those who are more capable,
Let them be officials and govern the world better. Children must be raised and allowed to grow up smoothly."
"Childless old people, husbandless widows, and orphans without parents, the government should help them, and the neighbors should also help them."
"When a man grows up, he can marry a wife and find a job. When a woman grows up, she can marry into a good family."
"Wealth and food should be earned by your own hard work. Don't be jealous of others. Don't be extravagant and wasteful. If it's not yours, don't use it. Don't be jealous of others who are talented, knowledgeable, and powerful. Those who are talented, knowledgeable, and powerful should do their jobs well.
Don't bully others based on your talent, knowledge and strength."
"In this way, ordinary people will not think of rebellion, nor will they abandon their homes to become thieves. No one will steal if the door is not locked. This is Datong!"
Some translations were deliberately misinterpreted by Zhao Han, which made Fei Ruhe and other scholars frown.
Jiang Dashan, Huang Yao and other non-students listened with great yearning.
Huang Yao exclaimed: "Is this a book by Confucius? It's so well written!"
Zhao Han smiled and asked: "Do you want the world to become like this?"
Fei Ruhe complained: "Who doesn't want to? No sage in ancient and modern times can do it."
"Whether you can do it or not is one thing; whether you want to do it or not is another thing," Zhao Han sighed, "It is not easy to achieve the world's unity. But it is a point to be close to it, and it is possible to do it.
A point is a point!”
Jiang Dashan suddenly said: "The imperial court cannot appoint good people as officials. There are corrupt officials in the county. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the world to be unified."
"The big landowners are also very bad. As long as the big landowners are around, the world will definitely not be unified." Huang Shun also spoke up.
"Poof!"
Zhao Han suddenly slapped the table and stood up: "If the imperial court can't do it, let's do it. If the world can't be unified, let's give it to Datong in Wuxing Town first, then to Datong in Xuanhua Township, then to Datong in Luling County, and then to Datong in Luling County.
Datong, Ji’an Prefecture!”
Everyone saw the changes in Wuxing Town and knew that this was a rebellion.
However, Zhao Han personally admitted that he wanted to rebel, and also added a rhetoric of great unity, which still shocked everyone present.
Zhao Han looked at the crowd and said forcefully: "Let everyone in the world be public-minded. Instead of just letting others do it, I will start with myself. I donated all the 10,000 acres of land to my name and only have 100 acres left.
"
"These lands will be the public property of Wuxing Town from now on, and will be used to do good things for the people. From now on, whoever makes meritorious service will be rewarded with land from 10,000 acres. Any farmer who saves money can also sell the land to farmers, but only to
Farmers with little land are sold to farmers who work hard and don’t have enough to eat!”
When others heard this, they were just shocked and admired.
Fei Ruhe looked at Zhao Han quietly. He knew that these words were mostly meant for him.
It worked very well, and Fei Ruhe listened.
Although the 10,000 acres of land were snatched, as long as Zhao Han does not continue to rebel, the government will probably acquiesce. Zhao Han really donated 10,000 acres of land!
Zhao Han can donate 10,000 acres, so why not use his own land?
It’s worth it to do great things!
Zhao Han became more and more excited and motivated as he spoke: "I established this Datonghui to achieve great harmony in the world. Let the foolish king abdicate, let the corrupt officials go away, and let all men, women, old and young have enough to eat. Who is willing to work with me? Who is willing?
Join the Datong Association?"
"I!"
Chen Maosheng and Huang Yao shouted at the same time.
The third person to respond was Huang Shunfu, the head of the school children's section. He said confidently: "The basic scripture of my administration is the Book of Rites. Today I understand its true meaning. This is the way of the sages!"
Others also responded, and only Fei Ruhe, Fei Chun, Xiaohong, and Xiaocui were left.
"Women... can women also join?" Xiao Hong was a little unsure.
Zhao Han smiled and said: "You are already the section chief, why are you afraid that you will not be able to join the association?"
Xiao Hong said shyly: "My official can only take care of women and children. I'm afraid this Datong Association is different. I will have to take care of many people in the future."
Zhao Han shook his head and said: "The Datong Association is just a club, not a government. You cannot be an official. You can't get a salary, but you have to pay membership fees every year. You have to think clearly! Of course, the membership fees are not much, and ordinary people can afford it."
"
"Then I'll join." Xiaohong smiled.
Xiaocui hesitated: "I also want to join."
Fei Chun looked at Fei Ruhe, waiting for the young master to express his position. He did not dare to join without permission.
Fei Ruhe stood up and said: "I want to do something big. Your Datonghui is not an ordinary big thing, it is a big thing that breaks the sky. So I am willing to risk it all and take a gamble with you to see if I can break the sky!"
"Very good, since everyone is willing to join, then we are comrades." Zhao Han said with a smile.
Fei Ruhe muttered: "This is not a good word."
Comrade has been around since ancient times. It originally has a complimentary meaning and refers to people who share the same goals.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, it had become a vaguely derogatory term to refer specifically to associates who fought in the party.
Zhao Han explained: "If the party fights for personal gain, it is not a good word. If we work for justice, it is a good word!"
After speaking, Zhao Han began to announce again: "Now we have three groups, Datonghui, Wuxing Town, and Tuanyongying. The main officials of the Wuxing Town Office must be members of Datonghui. Tuanyongying was renamed Zidibing, and all
He is a son of the common people, and captains and above must be members of the Datong Association!"
Pang Chunlai frowned and said: "If the territory expands in the future, will the Datong Association be in charge of the government and the army? I'm afraid there will be chaos!"
Zhao Han explained: "Although the Datong Association has internal positions, all members, including me, have no distinction between high and low, and there is no salary to be paid. The internal positions of the Datong Association have no right to interfere with official and military positions. According to the government
Official duties are carried out, and the army is carried out according to military duties."
"Impossible," Pang Chunlai shook his head and said, "You will know when the time comes."
Zhao Han sighed and said: "If it develops to that point, I will definitely dissolve the Datong Association."
No longer worrying about this, Zhao Han said directly: "Let's pledge to join the association!"
The oath-taking ceremony has also been changed, and it must be done in a way that the ancients were happy to accept.
Place a tablet on the table, an unowned tablet, which represents heaven and earth, the sages, and all peoples.
Zhao Han led the crowd to kneel down and bow down to the unowned tablet, perform the nine-kowtow ceremony, and finally read the oath to the tablet.
To do big things, you must have a sense of ritual.
Fei Ruhe, who didn't take it seriously at first, felt his blood boiling inexplicably after bowing nine times and shouting the oath of great unity.
It seems that the gods of heaven and earth are watching, the gods and Buddhas in the world are blessing us, and the rise and fall of the world depends on them.
On July 9, the sixth year of Chongzhen, the Datong Society was officially established.
