Chapter 104 Build the dream country of the common people
When Yang Fan finished speaking, it took almost an hour.
These rules are a bit harsh from a modern perspective, but in this era where a well-off society is considered a well-off society as long as you have enough to eat, no one can refuse such a temptation.
At this time, everyone's eyes were shining brightly, and the atmosphere was a little warm for a while.
To actually have the opportunity to be promoted to an official position is a golden opportunity that only comes once in a thousand years to shine brightly.
Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui, who were awarded eighth-grade official positions, were even more excited.
You know, most state and county officials will only be eighth-grade officials in their lifetime.
In the past, one of them was in such a state of poverty that they could not even eat, and one of them was about to die of illness. Now that he was directly awarded an eighth-grade official, how could they not be excited.
Glancing at the passionate crowd, Yang Fan nodded secretly.
As the saying goes, only with pursuit can you have motivation. This is what he wants. Otherwise, how can it work if he is just a salted fish?
After thinking for a while, Wang Xuance said with a look of admiration: "The method of protecting armor is to kill thieves, catch fugitives, work equally, maintain harmony in the countryside, cultivate mulberry trees, and live apart from each other. This is a wonderful idea, sir. This method is so mysterious!"
Wonderful idea?
mysterious?
Yang Fan couldn't help but blush and twitched the corner of his mouth. After all, he had stolen other people's achievements. Besides, it was just a guarantee system. What's all the fuss about?
In fact, this system already had its origins in the Qin and Han Dynasties, but it was just imperfect.
The "Lu system" in the Qin and Han Dynasties actually had shadows of the Baojia method.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the five families in the county were Bao, the five Bao were Lu, and the four Lu were clans. They were divided into Bao Chang, Lu Zheng, and clan Zheng.
Therefore, Baojia method and Lu system have something in common.
According to Yang Fan's speculation, Wang Anshi's armor protection method may have been improved based on the Lu system in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
After the Baojia method was initiated by Wang Anshi, it was spread to the Qing Dynasty and developed to its extreme. The Baojia system was still used even in the Republic of China, but the effect was not very good.
But for the newly built Junyangfang, the Baojia method is a good method for small-scale use. It can play a positive role in resolving village disputes, persuading, and educating neighbors.
However, the disadvantages of the Baojia system are also obvious and cannot be promoted vigorously because it restricts the normal flow of personnel and resources.
If the country vigorously promotes it and uses it for a long time, it will become an obstacle to the country's tax collection and military recruitment, and even breed corruption, becoming a major cancer that hinders social progress.
There were many debates about the Baojia Law in previous lives. Liang Qichao and Hu Shizhi called Wang Anshi's reform the forerunner of socialist theory.
It is believed that its reforms enriched the country and strengthened the military, strengthened the feudal autocratic rule of the Song Dynasty, and at the same time promoted the development of social productivity and historical progress in the Song Dynasty.
Another view is that Wang Anshi's reform was a reform movement of the landlord class and represented the interests of the landlord class.
Anyway, each has its pros and cons!
Then why did Yang Fan use it?
In fact, he had no choice but to gather tens of thousands of people in one place, so there would inevitably be a mixture of good and bad, and there would be many evildoers.
For example, Wang Xiaojie's adoptive father.
These people are mixed among them. Some insiders are afraid of trouble, some insiders are too lazy to care, and most of them are afraid of getting into trouble, so it is difficult to distinguish these people.
If things go on like this, it will inevitably become a mess, unmanageable, and even create a gap between these people.
As a result, the experimental base built by Yang Fan will collapse from the inside, which is something he does not want to see.
Human beings are selfish by nature. If their own interests are not involved, most people will do more rather than less. Once their own interests are involved, they will definitely step forward.
The Baojia system has such advantages. If someone in the first group does evil, the other nine households will sit together. How dare these nine households not find out the evildoer or resist the evildoer together?
At least it can be reported to eliminate hidden dangers.
Although the Baojia system was very advanced at this time, it had no foundation for survival.
Since ancient times, China has been a country that emphasizes lineage inheritance, filial piety, and human relationships. It is easy for people to be shielded due to reasons such as lineage, so it is difficult to survive in the long term.
In Yang Fan's view, the Baojia Law is actually more suitable for implementation in some Western countries.
Because Westerners have a poor concept of clan and the friendship between people is relatively weak, this provides good soil for the Baojia method to take root and sprout.
Of course, in this era, the Baojia system is by no means useless. It is still a very advanced reform, and more importantly, it can shake up the inheritance model of the clan.
It can be said that the armor protection method and the clan method are in natural opposition. Fortunately, most of these people were recruited from all directions and most of them did not know each other, so Yang Fan dared to use it boldly.
Because he understands the importance of orderly management for efficiency, he also needs Junyangfang to stabilize quickly, and he also understands the principle of a thousand-mile journey collapsing in an ant nest.
Only by using the Baojia system can we quickly prevent this phenomenon from happening, and it will be extremely convenient in the future whether we manage our neighbors or engage in production.
Although Wang Xuance also felt that the Baojia system was good, he was still a little worried and frowned and said:
"Young master, such actions may cause confusion, so you must be careful of villains; besides, with such a large workload, Xuance may not be able to handle it alone."
Of course Yang Fan has taken this into consideration. There are still many loopholes in the Baojia system. If there are some sneaky people, they may really take advantage of the loopholes.
However, Yang Fan was already prepared. He smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Xuance. I have my own opinions, but you may have to work hard for a while. I will send some literate people to help you tomorrow."
Having said this, Yang Fan turned his head and said to everyone with a decisive look on his face: "I will inform everyone to gather at the training ground tomorrow. Someone has something to say."
An era-changing reform proposal was decided on this wine table, which also provided the conditions for Yang Fan to control Junyangfang like a waving arm in the future.
But the one who is most grateful is Li Shimin. For his 30% profit, Li Shimin directly provided various conveniences. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to the Liuli Workshop and his desire for dominance.

Early the next morning, the guard training ground was filled with excitement, and everyone stood in an orderly manner in units of households.
Some people who knew the news immediately started talking about it and the situation exploded.
"What? Yangjiaping changed its name?"
"Yes, it was changed to Junyangfang. I heard that His Majesty personally changed it."
"That's still false. The notices are all posted over there. Didn't you see them?"
"Uh, I can't read. Tell me quickly. What's written on it?"
"It seems like there are officials managing this place."
"Then does this place belong to Uncle Zhongyi or the imperial court?"
"Of course it belongs to Uncle Zhongyi. How could the court give us such good benefits? Those ministers are not as tall as my boy. Only Uncle Zhongyi can do such good deeds. Anyway, it is he who allows us to have food to eat, no matter what our name is.
Whatever your name is, I will recognize you as Uncle Zhongyi."
Immediately, a group of people nearby immediately echoed.
These people still know who is the owner here and who has given them a good life, so their gratitude comes from the bottom of their hearts.
The common people are actually very down-to-earth. Don't talk about those big principles. We will recognize whoever gives us food to eat. Food is the most important thing for the people.
As soon as everyone saw Yang Fan appearing on the high platform, they all knelt down and shouted in unison that "loyalty and righteousness shall be benevolent and righteous", "loyalty and righteousness shall last forever" and so on.
Looking down at the densely packed heads below, Yang Fan's blood suddenly boiled.
From now on, these people will be their most loyal supporters.
There are white-haired old men cuddling in their arms, and even children who secretly raise their heads to look at themselves. These are the hopes of Junyangfang in the future.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Fan said in a deep voice: "My name is Yang Fan, the loyal uncle of Wannian County. From now on, you are all long-term workers or servants of Junyangfang, and you are also your family members. Our fates are connected.
Sharing weal and woe, we are all prosperous, and we are all devastated."
"However, there is no rule without rules. Registration will be re-registered starting today. Please cooperate. If there is any concealment, we will be directly expelled from Junyangfang. Of course, if someone wants to leave on their own, I will not force you to do so, but those who stay here will
, you have to abide by the rules here."
"As long as everyone stays here, everyone will have something to do, a house to live in, and food to eat. A certain person will open a school to teach children literacy, math, etc. for free. A hospital will also be built. Please give the best
The doctor specializes in treating sick people here free of charge.”
Without further ado, I just want to say:
"Follow someone and you will have food to eat."
"If you follow someone who wants to study, you will be taught how to read for free forever."
"Following someone can help everyone have something to rely on when they are old and have something to support them when they are young."
…
The pot exploded instantly with a "boom", and the crowd below seemed to have detonated a bomb, and the crowd was furious.
"Uncle Zhongyi, is this true?"
"Could it be that you are deceiving me?"
"We must abide by the rules and beg Uncle Zhongyi not to drive us away."
Yes, what is more exciting than the words "Follow me and you will have food to eat"?
For the people of this era, this is their simplest luxury.
They don't like to listen to those passionate words, they only want the most practical thing - to solve their belly problems.
