Chapter 1137 The Difference Between Han and Wu(2/2)
At that time, Feng Zhongduhu was the chief of the mountain, Du Qiong, a famous scholar in Shu, Xu Ci who was proficient in Confucian classics, Lai Min who was familiar with Zuo's "Spring and Autumn", Meng Guang who specialized in "Three Histories" and other famous figures in the world were all
College professor.
At the same time, the Royal Academy also set up a martial arts lecture hall, where senior generals in the army taught military affairs.
For a time, the Ji Han Dynasty was prosperous in both civil and military affairs.
Feeling that the Han Dynasty was expected to prosper, some people reported to the emperor and suggested that the world's criminals should be pardoned to show the emperor's benevolence.
"Your Majesty, the Minister has ordered Mr. Jiang to see you for something."
The servant took a greeting card and handed it to Feng Duhu.
Jiang Gongyan?
Looking at the sky, it was already time to get off duty. But at this time, he didn't go back to his house, but came to visit. Why?
Feng Duhu put away the invitation and took a look at the large martial arts training ground where horse racing was taking place.
There are four little kids over there who are practicing martial arts.
Shuangshuang is naturally the most relaxed, holding a small sword specially made for her and playing with style.
Ah Chong was a bit struggling, often stuck, and always had to think before he could remember his next move.
Ah Shun is the youngest, still the same as before, quite satisfactory, not as good as those above, but more than below.
As for Zhuge Zhan, he could only stand in the corner and lay the foundation.
His face turned red, his body was swaying, and his legs were visibly shaking.
He finally understood why he was pushed to the ground and beaten by them even though he was much older than the two siblings.
When General Guan goes to the martial arts training ground, he is selfless and can be trained by tens of thousands of elite soldiers, let alone a few children.
Ah Chong had been whipped several times, which made Zhuge Zhan frightened.
It was already a chilly day, and he was so tired that he was sweating. Although his waist and legs were twitching in pain, he still gritted his teeth and did not dare to relax at all.
The teachings in Feng Mansion consisted of studying literature and martial arts one day, and Zhuge Zhan was now looking forward to the early arrival of tomorrow.
In addition to showing off your own advantages, you can also mock that savage girl like Ah Chong.
Feng Duhu walked towards General Guan who was supervising, said something to her, ended his observation, and walked towards the vestibule.
"Mr. Jiang, why did you condescend to come here today?"
Feng Duhu walked into the living room, smiled at Jiang Wan and said, "If something happens, just send someone over to tell me, whether it's the official office or the house, I can come over. Why bother, Mr. Jiang comes to visit in person?"
Jiang Wan first saluted Feng Duhu:
"Wan, pay your respects to the Central Protector."
"Mr. Jiang, please sit down quickly. You are much older than me. I don't dare to accept this courtesy from you."
"Otherwise, Wan's visit this time is just for official business. The Zhongdu Protector is higher than Wan and has more weight than Wan. If Wan cannot bow to the Zhongdu Protector when he meets him, then where is the court etiquette?"
"Okay." Feng Duhu smiled helplessly and refused to argue with the other party in this regard. "Then I wonder what official business Mr. Jiang is here for?"
Jiang Wan sat down and replied:
"Wan came here this time just for the purpose of amnesty."
He looked at Feng Duhu, "I wonder what Zhongduhu thinks of this matter?"
"view?"
Feng Duhu looked at Jiang Wan with some surprise. Is this matter worthy of your personal visit?
According to his previous temperament, if he had no idea, he would just say "What can I say?"
But things are different now. After all, it is related to court proceedings, and his words and deeds may be scrutinized by others, so he will not express his position easily.
The most important thing is that Mrs. Right is not around, so she cannot give him any advice on the spot.
Feng Duhu coughed and felt a little embarrassed: "This matter, if you want to make Mr. Jiang laugh, I really don't have any opinions at the moment."
"Because the military affairs have been a bit complicated these past two days, the people sent by Wu State seem to have some opinions on the Tiger Cavalry Army's teaching methods."
"After all, it is related to the relationship between Han and Wu. If you are not careful, it may make the two countries suspicious of each other, which will not be conducive to fighting against thieves together."
"So I have only been dealing with this matter for the past two days, but I have not ignored the amnesty proposal. I also ask for your forgiveness, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Wan expressed his understanding: "It is understandable that the Central Protector and Governor of the internal and external military affairs are busy with affairs."
After saying this, he said with some caution, "In Wan's opinion, this amnesty has the advantage of being a general amnesty and can replenish the number of Han people."
"Of course, not pardoning also has the advantage of not pardoning. It can show that the strict laws of the Han Dynasty remain unchanged, so that the people will not dare to break the law easily."
After listening to Jiang Wan's words, Feng Duhu nodded and said, "What Mr. Jiang said is true."
Then he threw the question back: "Does Mr. Jiang support the amnesty, or does he oppose it?"
Jiang Wan did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment:
"When the late Emperor entered Shu, the Prime Minister established strict laws to govern Shu. There was a lot of resentment among people at that time. Marquis Yi also tried to persuade the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister refused, saying, 'People from Shu have arbitrary power, and the way of monarchs and ministers is gradually replaced by mausoleums.'"
"According to Wan, this is true not only for the land of Shu, but also for the families in the world. The prime minister took Shu and conquered the north, and finally allowed the emperor to return to the old capital. This just shows that the government is governed properly. Wan considers himself inferior to the prime minister, so he does not dare to attack the prime minister easily.
system."
Regarding Jiang Wan's words, Feng Duhu couldn't help but nodded and agreed.
During war, strict laws are always used to promote efficiency and integrate resources as much as possible.
Recuperate and recuperate, be lenient with the law and pay less with taxes. These are things that should be done only after reunification and in a period of peace and stability.
Seeing Feng Duhu nod, Jiang Wan felt that he had figured out the other person's point of view.
After all, Feng Duhu had a close relationship with the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister governed the country with strict laws, and since Feng Duhu inherited the Prime Minister's ambition, it was naturally impossible to easily change the system left by the Prime Minister.
What's more important is that criminals in Han Dynasty, as long as they are not guilty of capital crimes, are basically sent to a certain place for reform through labor to atone for their crimes.
Many of these places of reform through labor are related to the Xinghan Society.
Feng Duhu said he had no opinion, but maybe he was unwilling to grant amnesty in his heart.
"But precisely because the Prime Minister governs the country with strict laws, we should be more cautious when imposing this punishment on others."
Jiang Wan continued, "Otherwise, if there is a slight mistake, the prisoner will be charged with a major crime even if he made a small mistake."
Feng Duhu looked at Jiang Wan and said nothing.
He felt that what Jiang Wan said made sense, and it made sense for the prime minister to choose him as his successor in history.
No wonder, in history, political struggles in the Shu Han Dynasty were rarely bloody. Is it because of the thinking of the rulers?
However, Feng Duhu was a little confused at this time:
