- Di Renjie saw the change in Du Xuewu's expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Zhong Fu! Why are you so soft-hearted!"
Hearing this, Du Xuewu smiled calmly and said: "Although they are barbarians, they are still living beings. God has the virtue of good life. You and I, two brothers, are causing great harm to Daoguang in Australia today. We may bring harm to our descendants in the future!" "
Di Renjie's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Although he studied under Du Rui's sect, and his emphasis was on "a gentleman is not afraid of using strange powers to confuse the gods", but people of this era already have a fixed pattern in their minds, and they always stay away from ghosts and gods. , and although Buddhism has been suppressed several times, the theory of cause and effect has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Who knows whether there will be retribution in the future for the killings and abuses committed today.
"As Zhong Fu said, can we surrender!?"
Du Xuewu did not hesitate at all, shook his head firmly, and said: "No! This group of natives is different from the others. Judging from their appearance, they should be the reinforcements that Ouweng brought! Seeing that they are a family of their own, they will be waiting for a long time. It¡¯s better to wipe out all the troubles in the Tang Dynasty here!¡±
Di Renjie also had this idea, but when Du Xuewu said these words, he still couldn't accept it, because Du Xuewu had always made him feel that he was a compassionate and kind-hearted young man. If he started this killing If so, Di Renjie couldn't say what would happen in the future.
Du Xuewu obviously noticed Di Renjie's expression and said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will not change. It is my dream to turn this world into a world for everyone, where everyone has someone to rely on when they are old and someone who has little to support them. This dream will not change, but after this rebellion, I feel that what I did before is a bit pedantic. Favor must be given, and power must be established. Otherwise, the world will still be in chaos. After this rebellion is put down, , you and I, brothers, will have a hard time thinking about how we should conduct our governance in Australia in the future!"
When Di Renjie heard this, he couldn't help but feel greatly relieved. He was happy to see Du Xuewu come out of his alley way of thinking. In the past, Du Xuewu had a stubborn temperament. Although Di Renjie felt that Du Xuewu's policy was slightly biased, he did not It's better to point out that now Du Xuewu can figure it out by himself, that's the best thing.
The war is still going on, but it is nearing its end. It is only a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty, which occupies the pinnacle of civilization, defeats the still ignorant Maori.
The Maori wanted to break out of the encirclement, but under the solid defense system of the Tang Army, it was impossible to do so. They could only run around like headless flies in the encirclement of the Tang Army, and then were gradually eaten away.
Chenla also died, with a sharp arrow piercing his chest. This co-leader respected by all Maori tribes never expected that his sudden burst of sense of justice would bring him such an end.
Looking at the gradually brightening sky, Zhenla's heart was full of bitterness. He knew that the fall of him and the Maori army was inevitable. Not only would they die, but when the Tang Dynasty knew where they came from, they would probably stay on the island. The tribesmen above will also suffer disaster.
He brought all this on himself!
Chenla is dead, and the Maori are leaderless. They want to surrender, but raising their hands in the air and kneeling on their knees cannot save their fate. They are treated like chickens, the chickens that kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Datang needs to establish its prestige. Previously, Datang's attitude towards the Australian aborigines was too gentle. Now they need to establish their prestige. They need to use the Maori chicken to establish their prestige.
By the time it was almost noon, the massacre was finally over. There were countless corpses on the battlefield, and there were broken limbs and arms everywhere. The dry land was soaked with blood and became a little muddy. Looking at it, it was like a piece of land. Asura hell.
"it's over!"
Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief. This battle was much easier to win than he thought. Originally, he thought that even if the Tang army could win, it would have to pay a heavy price for their comeback. It seemed that he had high regard for these native rebels. Look, Du Xuewu said with a solemn expression: "Zhong Fu! Let's go back to Xinao City!"
Du Xuewu nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Brother! Did Feng Bao catch it?"
Di Renjie's expression changed slightly when he heard Feng Bao's name. They all knew that Feng Bao was the instigator behind this rebellion of the natives. If it hadn't been for him, the harm of this rebellion would not have been so great. .
There is no need to discuss whether Feng Bao is caught and punished. Feng Bao is treason and his crime is unpardonable.
But Di Renjie didn't want to embarrass Feng Bao. He even wished that Feng Bao had escaped, for no other reason. After all, Feng Bao was Feng Yi's son. When he was under Du Rui's sect, Di Renjie was young, and Feng Yi took care of him as his senior brother. , Di Renjie will never forget this kind of kindness. Feng Bao is Feng Yi's only son. If he is killed for his crime, Feng Yi's bloodline will be cut off.
"Maybe he ran away!"Hearing this, Du Xuewu smiled faintly. It was not difficult for him to guess what Di Renjie was thinking: "Yes! Maybe he ran away!"
? #£¤#£¤#£¤#£¤#£¤#£¤#£¤#£¤#£¤#£¤#£¤#£¤#
Feng Bao did escape. When he found that the Tang army was well prepared and ready, and when he saw the solemn military formation, he guessed that the native rebels were definitely no match for the Tang army. He did not want to sit back and die, let alone be buried with the natives. , so as soon as the war started, he sneaked away.
Feng Bao ran all the way out in one breath and plunged into the desert in a daze. He had been running for a day and was tired and hungry. However, he was not a local native and had no idea how to survive in this endless journey. Surviving in the desert and not knowing how to get out.
"Idiots! Idiots! They are all idiots! If you don't listen to me, you deserve to die!"
Feng Bao cursed angrily. Originally, his plan for Ou Weng was to use the power of the Maori people to separate one side and accumulate strength, and then compete with the Tang army for control of the Australian continent. Unfortunately, Ou Weng was eager for success and did not listen at all. If you don't go in, you rush into the army and fall into the arms of the Tang army. What's the result?
Although Feng Bao didn't see it with his own eyes, he could guess the result. After all, he had grown up listening to Feng Yi's stories about the heroic deeds of the Tang Army. He had never seen the fighting power of the Tang Army with his own eyes, but he could also guess it. Can guess.
"Hateful! Hateful! Du Rui, don't be proud. One day I will succeed. Then I will kill you with my own hands to avenge my father!"
Feng Bao's hatred for Du Rui has never weakened over the years. He hates Du Rui and wants to kill Du Rui now. The reason why he incited the natives to rebel was just to use the strength of the natives to take revenge. It's a pity that the success fell short. How could Feng Bao not hate this?
Feng Bao was lying on the ground, cursing. The native realized that it was dark and his whole body was shrouded in shadow.
not good!
Feng Bao was alert and quickly sat up. He looked back and was suddenly stunned: "Grandpa Feng!"
"That's right! It's me!"
The person who came was surprisingly Feng Zhao, who had bid farewell to Du Rui and stayed in mainland Australia, secretly passing away Feng Yi's wife early.
Feng Bao was immediately overjoyed, stood up quickly, stepped forward and grabbed Feng Zhao's hand, saying: "Grandpa Feng! How did you find me? That's right! You must be protecting me secretly, right!?"
Feng Zhao did not speak, and looked at Feng Bao with a stern face, with regret in his eyes.
Feng Bao didn¡¯t notice and said excitedly: ¡°Grandpa Feng! Do you have water and food with you?¡±
Feng Zhao still didn't speak, but he handed over the water bag and package that he carried with him. Feng Bao quickly took it, unplugged the water bag, and drank a mouthful of cow drink, and then ate all the food in Feng Zhao's package. , burped, and Feng Bao felt that strength returned to his body again.
"Grandpa Feng! Fortunately you are here, otherwise, I would have been trapped and died in this desert."
Feng Zhao finally spoke, looked at Feng Bao, and said, "Are you full?"
Feng Bao smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes! I'm full! Grandpa Feng~~~~~~~~"
Feng Bao suddenly stopped talking because he finally noticed Feng Zhao's face, his eyes were filled with pity and murderous intent.
"Grandpa Feng! You~~~~~~~~~"
Feng Zhao sighed and said, "You've eaten and drank enough, so you won't end up starving to death! Okay! It's time for you to hit the road!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Starving to death!
Hearing this, Feng Bao suddenly felt a chill running down his back. He forced out a smile and said, "Grandpa Feng! Are you kidding me? Let's hit the road!? Where are we going!?"
Feng Zhaowei closed his eyes slightly and said: "Feng Bao! If God does evil, you can still violate it. If you do evil on your own, you will not live! You colluded with the natives and conspired to rebel. I can't tolerate you anymore!"
Feng Bao's mouth was cracked and he was still smiling. He kept moving backwards and was ready to escape, but he was still stalling for time: "Grandpa Feng! You~~~~~you are joking! You How could you kill me? You have loved me the most since I was a child. You will not kill me. You promised my father and my mother that you would take good care of me. How could you kill me!"
Feng Zhao shook his head, looked at Feng Bao and said: "Feng Bao! Don't struggle, and don't try to escape. No one in the world except the master can escape my sword. Before you die, I will give you a meal." You are worthy of Feng Zhao, if you have anything else to say, just say it for your two sisters!"
Feng Yi also had two daughters, both of whom lived in Di Renjie's house in Xinao City. Feng Yi committed suicide and died, but his children, Du Rui, forgave them.
When Feng Bao heard this, he was so shocked that he shouted: "No! I don't want to die! Grandpa Feng! Haven't you always regarded me as your grandson? Grandpa Feng! Let me go! I know I was wrong!"
Feng Zhao's eyes were full of regret. His wife and children were killed by an adulterer, and he never married again. He always regarded Feng Yi as his own. After Feng Yi died, Feng Zhao did not hesitate to say goodbye to Du Rui. , stayed in the Australian mainland just to be able to take care of Feng Yi's wife and children, but today, he had to personally kill Feng Yi's only son.
"Feng Bao! In this life, you can make some mistakes, but you must not make some mistakes! You colluded with the natives and attempted to rebel. This is a heinous crime. What I hate most in my life is the traitor. I once said However, the foreigners oppressed the Han people, and although they were killed without mercy, they still had different stances. However, if the Han people became traitors, they would be forgetting their ancestors. If a person doesn't even have his ancestors, what is he still doing?!"
When Feng Bao saw that Feng Zhao¡¯s murderous intent was revealed, he was extremely panicked and said hurriedly: ¡°Grandpa Feng! I know my mistake! Please take me to see the master! Please apologize to the master in person!¡±
Feng Bao made a good calculation. He knew that Du Rui was soft-hearted. Even if he cared about the master-disciple relationship with Feng Yi, he would definitely show mercy when the time came and he could save his life.
Feng Zhao knew exactly what Feng Bao was thinking. He also wanted Feng Bao to live. After all, this was Feng Yi's only son, but the national law did not allow it. Under Feng Bao's hopeful gaze, Feng Zhao shook his head decisively and said: "The big mistake has been made, and no one can save you now! Feng Bao, if you have nothing to say, I will take action!"
Feng Zhao said and took out the sword from his waist. This sword has been with him for many years. It was given to him by Du Rui when he joined Du Rui's sect. He also held this sword and taught him personally. Feng Yi practiced martial arts, but he didn't expect that he would use it to end Feng Bao's life today.
Seeing that Feng Zhao still wanted to kill him, Feng Bao lost his calm for a moment and shouted loudly: "Feng Zhao! You old man, you are just a watchdog raised by Du Rui! What grudge do I have against you? Even if I collude with foreigners, what does it have to do with you! You just want to have trouble with me!"
Feng Zhao acted as if he hadn¡¯t heard anything at all. Since his sword had been unsheathed, he naturally wanted to drink human blood: "Feng Bao! Remember, never do anything harmful to the country or the people again in the next life!"
When Feng Bao saw this, he was so shocked that he lost two of his souls. He knelt on the ground tremblingly and begged: "Grandpa Feng! Please let me go! I haven't been crowned yet, and I don't want to die yet!"
Feng Zhao sighed: "If I had known today, why bother in the first place, Feng Bao! Do you know how many people died because of your personal grudges? Not only the immigrants from the Tang Dynasty, but also those natives, what's wrong with them? All of this is because of If you are Feng Yi's son, don't say anything and take your responsibility!"
Feng Bao knew that he was going to die today, so he yelled again, and Feng Zhao showed no mercy. With one strike of his sword, Feng Bao's head shot up into the sky, and he was killed instantly.
Feng Zhao wiped the blood on the sword, looked at Feng Bao's body, let out a long sigh, and drifted away. After an unknown period of time, Feng Bao's body was gradually buried in the yellow sand, and no one could find it anymore.
Hatred makes people crazy, and lust makes people lose their minds. Feng Bao obviously did not understand the Chinese philosophy of how to deal with the world, so he paid the price with his life. The Chinese have always paid attention to the philosophy of tolerance, such as "endure for a while and take a step back." The sea and the sky are brighter," "Being kind to others," "One more friend means more roads, one more enemy means more walls," and "When will retribution be repaid?" are the evidence of the philosophy of tolerance.
Feng Bao doesn¡¯t understand that when he faces harm from others, in order to calm things down, most of the time, he will choose to tolerate it. Of course, as a patient, Feng Bao should have great perseverance to bear the pain in his heart.
Du Rui killed Feng Bao's father. In order to take revenge, Feng Bao did not hesitate to betray his own nation and colluded with the natives to subvert the Tang Dynasty's regime in Australia. No one can say that he was wrong. He avenged his father and finally He is still a filial son, but his behavior is exactly what others cannot tolerate.
Covering his body with a handful of yellow sand, the little man Feng Bao finally left his life in the desolate land of Australia. No one will remember his name, and there will be no words related to him in the history books. He is like It was like he had never appeared in this world before. He came quietly and then left because of his madness.
Feng Zhao walked far away, looked back, sighed silently, and continued on his way to kill Feng Bao. Feng Zhao felt equally uncomfortable, but he had no other choice. He wanted to let Feng Bao go. alive, but he knew very well that keeping Feng Bao alive would undoubtedly leave a great disaster behind.
Feng Bao would not give up the hatred in his heart. Du Rui gave him a chance at the beginning. For the sake of the relationship between Feng Yi and his teacher and students, let go??Feng Bao, but what Feng Bao did in return was indeed inciting rebellion and destroying Australia's many years of accumulation. Keeping him here is nothing more than adding hatred to the world.
Feng Zhao drifted away, and no one knew where he went. What he left to the world was a passage from the "Biographies of the Tang Dynasty" written many years later by a young man who liked historians: Feng Gongtao Zhao was a member of the close guard of Duke Zhongwu of the Song Dynasty. He had served in the army for many years and had made many meritorious deeds. The Duke was very close to him, so he recruited him as his arm, and he later became an old soldier.

In Xinao City, the aboriginal rebellion was suppressed, but the things left behind still caused headaches for Di Renjie and Du Xuewu. This time the aboriginal rebellion launched a rebellion that completely destroyed the central and southern regions of the Australian mainland, and caused countless deaths and injuries to the Tang immigrants. The aftermath and reconstruction work, as well as the issue of how to deal with the tribes and people who participated in the rebellion, are all on the books.
Du Xuewu deeply hated those capricious natives and wanted to kill them all, but he knew that was absolutely impossible. In the future, the relationship between the Tang immigrants and the natives would still be a top priority on the Australian mainland, and it must not be because of Making rash decisions based on personal joy and anger.
"Brother! I have been thinking about the pros and cons of governance for more than a year in the past two days, and let the world become the world for all people. I will stick to this point, but it is very difficult to achieve it now. Let the natives govern themselves. , given power to those natives, they will not make good use of it, and it will even become their support for rebellion. It seems that this rule will not be advisable in the future!"
Seeing that Du Xuewu could realize his mistake, Di Renjie was very pleased and nodded: "Zhong Fu! It's very valuable that you can realize this! Then tell me, have you thought of a better way in the past two days? Come and govern this Australian continent!?"
Du Xuewudao: "This is why I came to see my senior brother today. It seems that unlimited devolution of power is still difficult to achieve. In the future, we still need to relatively centralize power on the Australian continent."
Di Renjie heard this and said: "If the food is cooked like this, wouldn't it be the same as before? The power is all in the hands of the Tang people. It is inevitable that there will be a few more people like Li Jin. If the relationship between the immigrants of the Tang Dynasty and the natives is like this, The relationship between them will still produce huge conflicts over time."
Du Xuewu Dao: "If power is in the hands of one person, mistakes will inevitably occur. What I mean is, can we use another method?"
Di Renjie also became interested after being told about it, and said: "Zhong Fu! Tell me about it!"
General Du Xue told everything he had been thinking in the past few days. After hearing this, Di Renjie also fell into deep thought.
According to Du Xuewu's idea, Australia Road will no longer implement decentralization from now on. In the six states of Australia Road, the same county system as that of the Tang Dynasty will be implemented. However, the difference from the county system of the Datang Dynasty is that at the local level , power is not concentrated in one person as the governor, but a system of elders similar to ancient Rome is implemented.
The Senate in ancient Rome was actually a deliberative body that played an extremely important role in the governments of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire.
Tradition holds that the Senate system in ancient Rome was originally established by Romulus, the mythical founder of Rome, as an advisory council. The Senate originally included a hundred family heads, called fathers, and later the term nobility evolved. When the Roman Republic was first established, Lucius Junius Brutus increased the number of senators to three hundred. Since they were newly summoned to the Senate by Brutus, they were also called New personnel.
In ancient Rome, the population was divided into two classes, the Senate and the Roman people. The Roman people included all Roman citizens and people who were not members of the Senate, such as the common people and the proletariat. Through the centuries, the councils of tribes, and the plebiscites, the Roman people obtained established powers within the country. Contrary to popular belief, the Senate is not a legislative body, and the Senate's resolutions are merely recommendations for legal action and are not laws in nature.
The Senate held considerable power in the Roman government. As the embodiment of Rome, this official body was responsible for sending and receiving envoys representing the city, appointing officials to manage public lands, including governors of provinces, commanding armies, and allocating public lands. funds.
The Senate also has the power to appoint city consuls or nominate dictators in emergencies such as war. In the late Republic, the Senate achieved the goal of avoiding the appointment of dictators by relying on Senate resolutions to defend the republic. This resolution declared martial law and gave the consuls the power to see that the republic should not be harmed, according to Cicero's first anti-Catiline speech. The Senate operated like a centurion and a tribal assembly, but was different from the plebeian assembly and was subject to religious constraints. It could only meet in consecrated temples, usually at Hostilius, the celebration of the first day of the new year, which wasIn the Temple of Cupid, the war meeting was held in the Temple of Bellona. Afterwards, the meeting could only be held after prayers, sacrifices, and divination. The Senate could only meet between sunrise and sunset each day, and not while other meetings were in progress.
Qualifications of Senate Members In the middle and late ancient Roman Republic, the Senate had about 300 members. If a senator is deemed to have committed an act contrary to public morals, his or her status may be revoked by the censor. Usually all local administrators¡ªincluding treasurers, aldermans, magistrates, and consuls¡ªcan become members of the Senate, but not all senators have ever served as officials. They are called senators without votes, and No say. This system gave the nobility and common people control over the Senate, making it easier for them to gain a say and improve their status in the promotion system.
In the late period of ancient Rome, the extreme conservative faction of the senators appeared in the late Republic. They were alternately led by Marcus, Aemilius, Scaulus, Cventus, Lutetius, and Catulus. , led by Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus and Cato the Younger, they called themselves the Good Guys or the Nobles.
Society was strained by partisan struggles between the aristocrats and the emerging plebeians, which became increasingly visible through domestic fury, violence, and brutal civil strife.
Members of the noble faction included Lucius Cornelius Sulla and Cnaeus Pompey, while Gaius Marius, Lucius Cornelius Qin, and Nathan and Julius Caesar were both plebeians.
However, the designations of the populist faction and the aristocratic faction are not as specific as imagined, and politicians can often switch factions.
The consuls will take turns serving as the chairman of the Senate every month, and the first senator will serve as the leader of the forum. If both consuls were absent, usually because of war, the senior magistrate, mostly a magistrate, would assume the role of president.
Planning work in the Senate was originally the responsibility of the consul, whether it was moving his own motion or asking the senators for their opinions on a specific issue, but when the consul was absent, this became the job of the first senator. In the Senate meeting, the first senator will be the first to speak, and all those who have the right to speak must strictly abide by a rule. The speeches of civilians must be made after the speeches of nobles of equal status.
Debate here was unlimited, and what is now known as obstruction was a common tactic at the time. Elections related to trivial matters can be voted by speaking or raising hands, but important or official motions must be decided by the division of the floor. Business must be carried out by a group of elected people, but outsiders would not know how many of them were members of the Senate. The Senate would be divided into ten-member districts, each led by a noble, so there must be at least thirty noble senators at any time. In principle, elders are prohibited from engaging in business outside the home that has nothing to do with land rights, but this principle is often ignored.
All senators are eligible to wear senatorial rings, which were first made of iron and later gold. Ancient aristocrats, such as the family of Julius Caesar, continued to wear iron rings until the end of the Republic, and wore a short-sleeved tunic that reached to the knees with a five-inch-wide purple stripe on the right shoulder. The non-voting senators wear white robes without decoration. And the senators who have served as seats have the right to wear white robes trimmed with purple. Likewise, all senators wear tight maroon leather boots, but only those who have held the seat can add half-moon buckles.
Until 123 BC, all senators were also knights. Until Gaius Sempronius Gracchus legislated to separate these two classes and designated the latter as the knightly economic class. In Roman politics, members of the knightly economic class had powerful plutocracy, and their business activities were unrestricted. The sons of senators and other non-senator members of senatorial families were included in the economic class of knights, and they were entitled to wear short-sleeved tunics with purple stripes as a symbol of their original membership in the Senate.
During his dictatorship, Julius Caesar introduced a different form of membership to the Senate. He increased the number of deputies to 900 and allowed many Roman citizens with Latin or Italian backgrounds to take a seat in the chamber. He also made his loyal supporters who had performed bravely and capablely during the civil war become senators. Although intended to take away the power of the die-hard conservatives, like the good guys, in the Senate, this reform made the Senate less visible under the rule of the head of state. The remnants of the pre-reform Senate still had their place in Rome's political system, but their importance was much less than it once was. The Senate still existed at the end of the Western Roman Empire, and its last recorded action was to send two envoys to Tiberius II Constantine's palace in Constantinople between 578 and 580.
At the same time, Constantine I had established an independent Senate in Constantinople. In the futureFor centuries, it had only nominal power rather than real power, and the Senate system declined.
When Di Renjie heard that Du Xuewu actually wanted to imitate the Senate system of ancient Rome, he couldn't help but be stunned. As a student of Du Rui, he was naturally familiar with some things about Europa.
In Di Renjie¡¯s view, imitating the Senate system of ancient Rome was simply a step backwards. However, after listening to Du Xuewu¡¯s explanation, he understood what Du Xuewu meant by imitating just now.
The Senate, which existed in the Mediterranean thousands of years ago, held considerable authority in Roman politics and guided all major affairs of the country. This is probably the earliest manifestation of democracy in human society.
In the world view of the ancient Romans, fictitious gods were the greatest. The fear of gods was the norm of this society, and humans were the playthings of gods, and they were equal to each other. Under the Senate there are also civilian deliberative organs such as the Council of Hundreds, the Tribal Council, and the Civilian Council.
The Senate system of ancient Rome was a system in which a few people decided the majority. It was different from dictatorship, but it was precisely the embodiment of democracy. A power group concentrated the rights of the entire society and had rights above the law. At that time, it was basically nonsense to talk about the rule of law. As the general trend goes, the Senate eventually degenerated into a group of degenerate social worms and became the opposite of the people. If it were simply copied, the outcome could be imagined.
Let¡¯s talk about the history of China. It can be seen that those who relied on the peasant class to reach a dominant position from Chen Sheng to Wu Guang will eventually be overthrown by the peasants. History is ridiculously repeating itself, with scenes of painful final carnivals. The pain is always suffering. People, it is always the ruling class who revel in the carnival. The Confucian order that the rulers have always flaunted will never work at critical moments. The order of this society is still written as "the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."
In fact, no matter how much history goes through, people have never seen it create a democratic society. Du Xuewu¡¯s simplest understanding of democracy is that ¡°everyone is equal.¡±
It¡¯s not just equality in words, it¡¯s not equality as long as the ruling class says it¡¯s equal. So people can only see constant changes in dynasties. People at the bottom are always fighting for their rights to freedom and equality, while the powerful classes will only In order to obtain more resources for themselves, these resources will not appear out of thin air and can only be ruthlessly deprived by the political power in their hands. This is how people are. On the one hand, they hope for equality in social resources, but on the other hand, they hope that they can have more than others. Get social resources.
Du Xuewu has studied with Du Rui for many years. The most profound thing he understands is that the legal system is based on democracy.
Democracy means everyone is equal. Does a society with a Senate have a legal system?
Will not!
A few people decide a society. This is democracy. Democracy among a few people rapes other people. The democratic laws enacted by a few people rape other people. This can be called democratic legal system. ?
In the history of China, the most common scene is that of ordinary farmers kneeling in front of the official, begging for justice. No one would say that that dynasty was democratic and legal.
Where is the Senate?
After all, people don¡¯t have to beg for democracy in public, and the Senate also has its own regulatory agency. If a senator violates public morals, please note that it is public morality, not the laws that most people abide by, and his status as a senator can be deprived of his qualifications by the censor. This What is public morality? This can be understood as a tool for the elders to fight against each other.
To give a simple example, what is tax?
The mainstream explanation is that in order to fulfill its functions, the state obtains fiscal revenue for free in accordance with legal standards. It is a specific distribution relationship formed by the state's participation in the distribution and redistribution of national income by virtue of its political power.
Taxation is indispensable at all times and in all countries. Taxation in China is very strange. It seems to have become a signal. Whenever the Qingming Dynasty is about to be prosperous, the emperor will hear about tax reductions and exemptions. Whenever there is a change of dynasty, all kinds of ridiculous taxes will appear. name.
Since it is the distribution and redistribution of national income, then in ancient times taxation must be enjoyed by emperors, officials and gentlemen. Even the Senate of ancient Rome controlled the country's taxation in the later period and lived a debauched life.
Then I think of some cases of petitions. When people have grievances and injustices, they seek help from the law. Unfortunately, this law itself has no ground for its existence. Although the above provisions are well written, there is no such thing as killing someone to pay for life. Pay back debts.
what to do?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out-of-touch beggars, begging the officials and even the emperor for some fairness, and begging the elders to be kind and compassionate to help those in need.
There will be democratic laws under the Senate.??
Won't!
As a class of society itself, the power of the elders is above the law, which means that a circle must be drawn within the scope of the law. In this circle, the law cannot touch it. Where the law conflicts with it, The law must also make concessions. Perhaps it can be said that the Senate gives fairness to the law.
If you cannot give everyone equality in society, then you should not give the law. If you have to give it, the law will become a mirage hanging in the sky, becoming a joke for the superior people to make fun of the people, and a heartache for the superior people. Whenever the law sees this thing, in the ideal society of equality, people's hearts will inevitably twitch. If desire cannot be satisfied, it will eventually accumulate into hatred.
What Du Xuewu has been thinking about over the years is a social system that can be accepted by most people, rather than hated by most people. Of course, he is aware of the harm of the Senate system in ancient Rome, but he can also find the desirability in it. place.
Take the essence and discard the dross!
This is what Du Xuewu wants to explain to Di Renjie. To put it bluntly, Du Xuewu's idea is that on the Australian mainland, from all grassroots levels to the central government, a democratically elected parliamentary system will be universally implemented, and those who are popular will be selected to serve. Congressmen, we all discuss doing things together, make suggestions from the bottom up, and then implement them from the top down.
Du Xuewu explained for a long time, and then Di Renjie understood what was going on. He had the same reputation throughout the ages, but his life and destiny had changed. What he pursued was a kind of doctrine and philosophy. He is an excellent executor, but not an excellent maker. He can play well within a rule, but it is difficult to formulate this rule.
"Good! Good! Zhong Fu is worthy of being taught by his mentor himself. This system is good, this system is good! But in Australia, should we also call it the Senate?"
Du Xuewu and Di Renjie accepted his suggestion and said: "Of course not, the Senate is a thing of the Byzantine ancestors after all, we can call it a parliament!"
When he was in Du Ling, the kind of parliamentary system that Du Rui and Du Xuewu talked about has always been the existence that Du Xuewu was fascinated by. Now that he has returned to the right path, Du Xuewu also remembered the name parliament.
The previous policy implemented by Australia was to completely hand over a city and a place to the people and choose a leader for them to survive on their own. As a result, facts have proved that complete democracy is not feasible. Now this simplified and centralized democracy although It has not yet reached Du Xuewu's ideal social system, but it is almost there.
Di Renjie saw that Du Xuewu had matured a lot after the incident of the native rebellion, and he couldn't help but feel gratified, and said: "Zhong Fu! If you can correct your mistakes after you realize them, instead of taking revenge, if Brother Yu wants to come, my mentor will definitely do the same." So gratified!"
Du Xuewu heard the words and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you are serious. When I volunteered and asked my father to keep me here, I was determined not to manage the Australian road well and never go back. The previous incident was indeed my fault. Now, It¡¯s just making up for the past!¡±
For Du Xuewu, the Australian Road is just a experimental field for him. His real purpose is to find a road that is truly suitable for the Tang Dynasty, and then bring this road back to the Tang Dynasty to build the Tang Dynasty. Become an ideal society. - Didn't finish reading?
