Therefore, to combat powerful forces, we must not only use military and political means, but also address the root causes.
That is the law.
Legally, it is necessary to restrict land annexation and force the powerful to transform from big landowners to big businessmen.
Chen Yuan explained the reason to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei suddenly realized that he had never considered this issue before.
When I heard Chen Yuan's explanation, I immediately became enlightened.
It’s no wonder that no matter how hard they attack, the powerful ones emerge in endlessly and become stronger and stronger.
The root cause lies in the laws of the country.
As long as the laws are changed, we can legitimately fight against these powerful people.
Instead of being tied up like now.
After understanding the rationale, Liu Bei no longer objected.
However, Liu Bei still told him: "Zi Chu, I have no objection to you revising the law, but even if it is revised now, it will not be implemented in Jingzhou. Do you understand?"
Chen Yuan nodded to express his understanding.
Of course it is impossible to implement it now.
Changing the law is one of the clear signs of rebellion.
Of course, it is impossible to implement it in Jingzhou now. It will have to wait until the court no longer has the energy to take care of it or when Jingzhou takes control of the court.
But no matter what, get ready first.
It's always good to prepare for a rainy day. Anyway, Chen Yuan doesn't have much else to do besides teaching students now.
These past few years have also been the calmest years, and the world has been relatively quiet.
When Fatty Dong came to Beijing, the world was really in chaos, and the princes were fighting.
At that time, it was absolutely impossible for Chen Yuan to imagine being as leisurely as he is now.
"Tell me, who do you want?"
Chen Yuanyi spread his hands: "Brother, I don't know who is good at law. I may need to consult everyone about this."
"No, I know someone who is good at it."
"who?"
"Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao."
Only then did Chen Yuan remember that Guo Jia and his family had been ruling Xiaodu Lu for generations.
The Little Du Law was a law enacted by Du Yannian of the former Han Dynasty.
However, Guo Jia alone is obviously not enough, and several more people are needed.
Guo Jia alone would not be able to amend the law within a few years even if he is exhausted.
Generally speaking, a large team is needed for the court to revise laws.
Just like revising the constitution now, a constitution revision committee needs to be established.
Of course, it wasn't such a troublesome thing in the Han Dynasty, but it definitely couldn't be done by one or two people.
It requires at least four or five people plus some scribes.
It is easy to find scribes, and the students of the academy are ready-made scribes.
But we still need at least three core personnel.
Liu Bei thought for a moment: "I called Yuan Tan here. If anyone is most familiar with the talents under Jingzhou's rule, it must be Yuan Tan."
Gu Yong presides over daily government affairs, so he naturally knows who is good at what.
Calling Gu Yong, Gu Yong agreed in principle with Chen Yuan's revision of the law, but he had the same opinion as Liu Bei, that is, it was absolutely impossible to implement the new law in Jingzhou now.
But Gu Yong and Liu Bei had different starting points.
Gu Yong doesn't care whether Liu Bei rebels or not, whether he plots rebellion or not.
Because no matter what Liu Bei does, the world will still be named Liu, and the world will still be the Han Dynasty.
Gu Yong started from the administrative point of view.
Because Han law has been in effect for hundreds of years, it is not only deeply rooted in the officialdom, but also among the people.
It will definitely not work if new laws are implemented on the basis that the Han Dynasty has not collapsed.
It will cause a lot of turmoil.
Although Gu Yong disagreed with the implementation, he agreed with Chen Yuan's modification.
Because the Han Code has been implemented for hundreds of years, there are indeed some things in it that need to be revised. Those that are not in line with reality, those that hinder the country's strength, and those that hinder the happiness of the people need to be overturned.
Gu Yong thought for a while and said: "Man Boning is well versed in the law and can be one of the candidates. Yiji Bo Ning knows the law well and can be one of the candidates. As for the other people, forgive Yong and don't know."
Already."
Hearing Gu Yong talk about Yi Ji, a memory suddenly burst out in Chen Yuan's mind.
By the way, isn't this Yi Ji one of the editors of Shuke in later generations?
Together with Yi Ji, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Li Yan and Liu Ba were included in the compilation of Shuke.
Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng are still young and cannot be used for the time being.
How old is Li Yan now and where is he?
Chen Yuan recalled that Li Yan seemed to be working as a county magistrate under Liu Biao when he appeared.
He should be an adult now.
This guy seems to be from Nanyang, I forgot about him in the last wave of recommendations.
The main reason is that this guy has a bad reputation in history books and appears as Zhuge Liang's opponent.
Chen Yuan subconsciously forgot about him.
But strictly speaking, this person can definitely be regarded as a capable minister.
He has both civil and military skills. Not only is his martial arts extraordinary, but his political abilities are also among the best among people.
Come on, get him.
As for Liu Ba, I don’t know how the transformation went at the Wuxi barbarians?
Why don't you bring Liu Ba to Xiangyang too? If the meeting lasts for a long time, he'll be crippled by the barbarians.
So Chen Yuan said to Liu Bei: "Brother, I also know that there are two people who should be relatively proficient in the law. You can invite them here."
"Who?"
"One is Liu Ba and Liu Zichu, and the other is Nanyang Li Yan and Li Zhengfang."
"Liu Zichu?"
Liu Bei looked very strange.
Liu Bei also knew that Chen Yuan had sent Liu Ba to the barbarians.
To be honest, Liu Bei didn't expect Chen Yuan to be so cruel.
I wonder if Liu Ba had a child with the barbarians at this time.
According to common sense, if Liu Ba was a normal man, after so many months, one or two of those Wuxi barbarian girls would be pregnant.
You know, Chen Yuan specifically ordered Shamoko to take good care of Liu Ba.
According to barbarian customs, Shamoko would definitely arrange several barbarian women for Liu Ba to serve him.
As for whether the barbarian girl would be unwilling, that is simply impossible.
The Han people in this era are the proud sons of heaven. Who among the surrounding barbarians would not want to marry a son of the Han family?
Even if she can't get married, conceiving a child for a Han man is still a dream for a barbarian girl.
This has nothing to do with morality or immorality, because the Han people are strong enough in this era.
Mu Qiang is a principle that is universal in every era.
Don’t you see, many girls nowadays want to be pregnant with children of foreigners?
Even if he is black, he does not dislike it, and there is even some Muhei.
In the final analysis, it is still the legacy of the century-old humiliation of old China.
Foreigners still exist in the minds of some sheepdogs.
But in this era, this problem absolutely does not exist.
They are all Mohan people.
I wish I could be born as a Han Chinese.
Even if one cannot become Han, then marrying a Han or marrying a daughter of the Han family is the common pursuit of all surrounding barbarians.
Even the Huns who once dominated the northern grasslands are no exception.
Therefore, the Wuxi barbarian girls wished they could all give birth to children for Liu Ba.
Once Liu Ba gives birth to a child, not only will their own status be greatly improved, but their children will also receive the best treatment.
This is a very real problem.
Liu Ba didn't have a very good life with Wuxi Man, and every barbarian girl who saw him wanted to serve him.
After several months of adapting, Liu Ba is now very calm.
At first he was very angry.
As smart as he is, he still doesn't know that this is Chen Yuan's plan.
But even if he has extraordinary strength, there is nothing he can do if he falls into the hands of the Wuxi people.
Because Samoko is stronger than him.
Shamoko had nothing to do and strictly followed Chen Yuan's instructions and watched him personally.
Liu Ba escaped several times but was captured by Shamoko.
Samoko's family didn't abuse Liu Ba either. They provided him with delicious food and drink. Even if Liu Ba escaped, Samoko was still very respectful after catching him.
He speaks and talks, sir.
After such a long time, Liu Ba knew that he could not get out for the time being.
He simply stayed at the Wuxi Barbarian's place with peace of mind.
And seeing that the living conditions of the Wuxi barbarians were indeed very difficult, he began to give them some skills.
Let these barbarians live a better life.
Who is Liu Ba? He is a capable person in politics.
To be honest, although this guy's ability is slightly worse than Zhuge Liang's, it's not much worse.
For such a big boss, if he showed just a little bit of his abilities, Shamoko would be in awe.
However, even though Samoko already respected Liu Ba very much, he would never dare to let Liu Ba go.
When Chen Yuan left, he specifically gave instructions that Liu Ba would never be allowed to step out of Wuxi Man without his order.
Shamoko did not dare to disobey Chen Yuan's order.
He now clearly understands Jingzhou's strength.
He couldn't defeat Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun who were stationed in Wuling and Lingling alone.
Not to mention the two of them joining forces, even if it was one-on-one, Shamoko couldn't survive ten moves.
Because these two people are now first-level powerhouses.
Samoko is still the second grade.
And if there are no accidents, Shamoko will be in the second grade in this life.
So when Chen Yuan sent people to Wuxi Man to ask Liu Ba to go out, Liu Ba refused to go out.
Just kidding, when had Liu Zichu ever suffered such a loss?
If you ask me to come, I will come; if you ask me to leave, I will leave.
Then what dignity do I, Liu Zichu, have?
Therefore, Liu Ba made it clear to the envoy that if he wanted him to go out, that would be fine, but Chen Yuan must come in person.
The envoy had no choice but to return to Jingzhou to report to Chen Yuan.
After hearing the envoy's report, Chen Yuan smiled: "Well, I'm sorry for him, so I'll go there myself."
At that moment, after Chen Yuan reported to Liu Bei, he took Zhou Tai and went straight to the Wuxi barbarians.
As for Li Yan, Liu Bei had already sent someone to invite him.
Li Yan should not be an official at this time, and given his character, as long as Liu Bei sends a minister with sufficient status to conquer him, he will come.
Who did Liu Bei send?
Play Zhicai.
Xi Zhicai's status was high enough. Looking at Jingzhou, let alone the military, but in terms of political affairs, besides Liu Bei and Gu Yong, Xi Zhicai ranked third.
Of course, this excludes Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan's status is a bit special, so it's no longer easy to count him out.
For the third-ranked government official in Jingzhou to hire a pawn who has not yet become an official is enough respect for him.
If Li Yan didn't know what he was doing, Chen Yuan didn't think there was any need to invite him again.
Because although such people are very talented, their emotional intelligence is impressive.
If he enters the Jingzhou system, it will disrupt the operation of the Jingzhou system.
It’s okay not to want such a person.
Let alone Li Yan, his future achievements all depend on him.
Let’s just talk about Chen Yuan and Zhou Tai.
Both of them are masters above the third level, so they can naturally fly.
Therefore, the two of them were very fast and reached the Wuxi barbarians in just one day.
Because in order to sharpen Liu Ba, Chen Yuan did not ask Shamoko to place Liu Ba in the county town, but in the mountains where the Wuxi barbarians often lived.
Wuxi barbarians live under the high mountains of Yuanshui.
This is the time of spring, when the peach blossoms are blooming.
When Chen Yuan found Liu Ba, he was drinking tea contentedly under the peach blossom tree.
Except for the clothes he was wearing, which made him look a little embarrassed, he didn't look uncomfortable at all.
Chen Yuan couldn't help but admire this guy. He was really good at cultivating his mind.
Chen Yuan made Zhou Tai and Samoko stop in their tracks. He walked up to Liu Ba and sat down opposite Liu Ba. Without any scruples, he directly took the teapot in front of Liu Ba and poured himself a cup of tea.
After taking a sip, apart from the aroma of tea, there is also a light peach blossom aroma in my mouth.
Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Zichu is living the life of a fairy. Even the tea has the aroma of peach blossoms. It seems that Mr. Zichu has good luck with peach blossoms recently."
Or maybe Chen Yuan is full of bad intentions.
This is talking about Liu Ba and the barbarian woman.
Liu Ba's mentality had calmed down at this time.
He glanced at Chen Yuan: "Isn't this what Chen Biejia wants? If he hadn't accepted a few women, I'm afraid Chen Biejia wouldn't have come."
Liu Ba had long seen through Chen Yuan's intentions.
Isn't the reason why Chen Yuan got himself among these Wuxi barbarians just to make him surrender?
However, Liu Ba will tell Chen Yuan today that he wants me, Liu Zichu, to surrender. That is a delusion!
Hearing what Liu Ba said, Chen Yuan suddenly felt troubled.
If Liu Ba was so angry, it would be easier to handle.
At worst, he could apologize, give him enough face, and let him vent his anger. In this way, Liu Ba would leave with him.
But now, people are talking more calmly and seem to have seen through it completely.
This posture feels like an immortal.
This is not easy to handle.
However, no matter how hard it is to handle, it must be done.
If that doesn't work, then Liu Ba will be kidnapped and taken back.
Of course, this trick should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary, because if Liu Ba really preferred death over surrender and committed suicide at that time, it would be a big deal.
Not only will Jingzhou's reputation be bad, the Liu family in Changsha will also have resentment towards Liu Bei.
Now is not the time to fall out with the Changsha Liu family.
The four counties in Jingnan still rely on them for stability.
Chen Yuan chuckled: "Sir, you are joking. Yuan is here to apologize to you. Yuan Duo offended you before and made you suffer. As long as you can vent your anger, Yuan will accept the punishment and there will be no problem."
Chen Yuan simply lowered his arrogance to give him face, and put him up first before talking.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ba was still calm and calm: "Chen Biejia's words are wrong. Biejia has never offended me. Besides, Ba thinks that the scenery of Wuxi barbarian land is beautiful, and he is really good at studying and cultivating his mind."
This place, if it hadn’t been robbed this time, Ba would not have known there was such a wonderful place.”
