After receiving the students' response together, Wu Zheng said: "Huang Tuozi did kill people. According to the law, he would have to kill people to pay for his life. But I don't think that a person who fought bloody battles with the enemy on the battlefield, and a person who returned to his hometown for a lifetime but found that his family was destroyed, what reason should he not let him avenge his father and kill his enemies with his hands?"

"Huang Tuozi did not have the intention to kill people. At least he did not have the intention to kill people before he returned home and knew that his family had been destroyed. Is such a person worthy of pardon by the government?"

"worth!"

"Should be pardoned!"

Countless voices sounded, with almost the same meaning. Every young man with a sense of justice could understand the anger of his relatives being killed and wanting to kill his enemies.

But it is obvious that these voices only come from students.

Most of the teacher group next to him was almost silent.

This is the ideological barrier, which cannot be crossed in one day.

Therefore, Wu Zheng chose to re-cultivate a generation rather than transforming it.

Only by letting the new generation rise up and then subtly transform the old generation through changes in social atmosphere.

"Dare you ask the prince, how to distinguish between good and evil laws?"

"Good laws must be simple and easy to understand, familiar and understandable to the people, and so-called familiar and familiar to the people. For example, if you owe debts and pay for your life, you will know them even if you are illiterate. On the contrary, evil laws are long and complicated, and cannot be familiar with and understandable, and can be called evil laws. This is not biased. The reason why laws are law is a constraint on all living beings in the world, making the people even not understand whether their actions are illegal. How can such laws be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and be supported and followed by the people? Such laws are nothing more than protecting the interests of a few people and putting the vast majority of people in a passive and illegal situation."

"Can you give me an example?"

"Yes." Wu Zheng obviously didn't know that he had cheated himself. "For example, the salt administration of the Ming Dynasty. Salt was inexhaustible at our beaches and was used inexhaustible. It was a benefit given by God to all living beings in the world... Let's put it this way, the cost of salt manufacturing is less than a penny, but the salt we bought on the market requires six or seven penny per catty, which is equivalent to three or four pounds of rice. To the northwest, it can even be sold for nine penny and ten penny per catty. Where is the difference between the price?"

"Did the court collect it? No, the salt tax was 20 yuan in the early Ming Dynasty. After the specialization, it was 10 yuan. Of course, the more it collected, it was 10 yuan. However, it never exceeded 30%. During the Chongzhen period, the salt tax in the court was only more than 300,000 taels per year. According to conservative calculations, on the average of the head, one person used two kilograms of salt a year, and one household had ten kilograms of salt a year, and one household had ten kilograms of salt a year, and 15 million households. The interest rate difference was nearly 90 million yuan, and at present, the exchange of one to four hundred yuan was about 2 million taels of silver."

"But the problem is that the court only collected more than 300,000 taels, accounting for less than 20% of the interest rate gap. Where did the money go? Apart from the loss, it is probably all the money colluded with officials and businessmen. People are illegal to buy and sell private salt, but they cannot do without salt every day. The high taxes they pay cannot enter the treasury. This is an evil law, which protects the interests of a few people and puts the vast majority of people in a passive violation of the law."

Another student asked loudly: "Since that's the case, why don't the prince be anxious about the people and abolish such evil laws?"

Wu Zheng was stunned, then laughed and said, "That's not possible. The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, and foreign tribes invaded. Now is the time when the General's Mansion urgently needs money. Even if it is an evil law, it must be slowed down first. Besides, if I abolish the salt law, our steward, Mr. Mo, wouldn't we eat me?"

"Huh--." There were boos in the audience.

"Don't swear... It's like a person has a serious illness. If a pair of medicine goes down, the patient will die before the disease is cured." Wu Zhengzheng said: "The students are all knowledgeable people who know books and etiquette. I think this is obvious. But I can guarantee that all evil laws like this will be improved or abolished in the future."

"Thank you for your advice!"

When the student asked the question, Wu Zheng returned to the previous topic, "For Huang Tuozi's handling, the inspector Zhang Huangyan, the inspector, advised me, saying that no matter what the reason for Huang Tuozi's murder was, after all, it was two lives, and killing people would have to pay for their lives. They must be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law, otherwise, once the special case was opened, there would be endless troubles... I agree with this statement."

There was silence under the stage.

"Since there is a law, we must naturally follow it. There has been a saying that a prince violated the law and the common people in ancient times. Of course, it has never been really implemented. However, we cannot let the ancients be beautiful in the past, so the law must still be followed."

The students who were amused by Wu Zheng’s first half of the name froze the smile on their faces by the second half of the sentence.

Wu Zheng said slowly: "The law is ordered by people. Perhaps when it is formulated, the law is suitable, but after hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years, this law may not be in line with the times. At the beginning of the law, to obtain it is to protect the interests of the most people. If it is time to protect the evil and harm the interests of the kind, it must be modified..."

"Since the law does not allow it, I will... change the law!" Wu Zheng shouted, "The family law of our ancestors sounds like that, and it is very terrifying, but when it is really inappropriate, it is just a piece of shit. This reminds me of the family law of our Wu family. My father told me that the family law of our Wu family, and the descendants are not allowed to become officials. Perhaps our ancestors had his own difficulties and intentions when they were determined. But after these two hundred years, even the correct family law may not be appropriate. My uncle was the deputy general in Jiading to fight against the Qing army in Jiading and died for his country. I am lucky than my uncle, and I have lived to this day... Sorry, my uncle and I have violated the family law, but if they do not violate the family law, how can I resist the Qing?"

"... Huang Tuozi is guilty, but the crime will not lead to death! Zheng Rong occupied his wife and forced his father to death. Pan betrayed her husband and abandoned her son and remarried. If Huang Tuozi was executed to pay for Zheng Rong and Pan's life, what is justice? What is the law of heaven?"

"...You will become the people who will be the parents in the future. Please treat every hero who fights bloody battles with the enemy for the country and the nation. A nation that does not treat its own hero well will not have a future... What I really want to say is that when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, the only way to weigh the pros and cons and losses, break all obstacles, is to benefit the most of our tribe. As long as we stick to this point, nothing can be done and no law cannot be changed!"

When the long-lasting applause sounds like thunder.

When Dad Wu was blushing and cursing "rebellious son" in his mouth, but he regretted that he had wasted most of his life.

When hundreds of former juren and Jinshi teachers were shocked by the prince's public interpretation of the three words "filial piety, loyalty, and law".

In this era, changes began to occur.

This is a seed that subverts the king like a god and the people like grass mustard seeds, growing when they encounter the wind!
