Chapter 42 Revenge
Castrating thoughts, distorting the teachings of sages, and all this nonsense of repaying evil with kindness are all products of this background.
I bullied you, beat your father, killed your mother, killed your friends, and you repaid me with kindness. What's the point? !
This doesn't make sense.
As for placing expectations on the law...
With the development of the Daxia Empire to the present, new classes have been formed and new interest networks are intertwined. Rich and powerful people among the people gradually have closer ties with officials. Officials don't have that concern, but they do. So they will push forward in all aspects in order to eliminate this thing that can threaten their lives.
What's the point of having a huge fortune and not being able to withstand a blow from others, and not being able to act unscrupulously?
Of course it must be eliminated.
But Ying Yi definitely doesn't allow it.
Officials are monitored by a humane list, which is sorted out once a month to maintain long-term clarity. However, there is no real-time monitoring of the powerful people among the people, so they have the motivation, ability, and opportunity to act arbitrarily. So Ying Yi also gave them the most direct yoke - revenge.
If you take advantage of the loopholes in the supervision of the Humanity List to bully the people and act recklessly, then give the people a knife. If you dare to bully, you must hang your head on the belt.
Cooperating with the law, it will definitely form a strong binding force on the middle class of the empire. If it were just the law, rich and powerful people would have a chance to escape punishment.
Wang Fuzhi may not be ignorant of this truth, but unfortunately, as a literati at the transition between the old and the new, he still has some concepts from the old era and has its own limitations.
Fortunately, the empire's second decade is about to pass, and the new generation, the generation that grew up under new ideas, is about to enter the center.
Four more years to go.
Ying Yi is the ruler of this empire, guided by civilization, arbitrary and true to his words. He is determined to implement a certain policy and no one can stop him.
...
Mu Que and others met with many big businessmen and reached many oral or written contracts. Feeling relaxed, they left their accommodation and planned to walk around.
They are prominent figures in Yangnan Prefecture in the second realm. But in Diqiu, it was nothing. Even if he is an ordinary citizen here, his mental outlook and temperament are eye-catching.
As the center of the empire, Diqiu has the largest officials, the richest businessmen, and the proudest people.
After a day of visiting, I was amazed by what I saw. As soon as I returned to my dormitory, I encountered the policy related to the "shared rooftop" issued by the empire.
Itβs clear on the humanitarian card.
Seeing this, several people were speechless.
Liangjiu Muque said: "In this way, those who are officials have a humane ranking to monitor, and those who are rich have a common rooftop as a deterrent. I don't know how many people should be trembling, for fear of going too far with their words and deeds."
I felt a little uncomfortable after all.
As the inherent ruling class of the second world, they have the power and ability to deal with the people at will. Now that he has returned to the empire, although he knows not to act recklessly, he still has the feeling that one thing hurts its own kind.
But on a national and civilizational level, this is a good thing. It can maintain the clarity of all levels for a long time and urge them not to act recklessly. This is an important guarantee for the long-term stability and continuity of a civilized empire.
In the first month after the establishment of the Gongtiantai, there were thousands of revenge and fight incidents in various states and capitals throughout the empire.
On the common rooftop, hundreds of bullies and powerful men lost their lives. All that's left is missing legs and arms.
"You must beware of bullies and those who are unkind because of their wealth. But there are also unscrupulous people." Ying Yi said to Zhang Ming: "Look at this fight, there is another blackmail. They fight for revenge for inexplicable reasons without paying. , itβs really ridiculous.β
Yes, just like 'touching porcelain', not all people are good. Those with low moral standards take this opportunity to blackmail. But they miscalculated.
In order to ensure the impartiality and deterrence of Gongtiantai, the central Yuanling has been watching closely.
All those who were "touching porcelain" were caught and thrown into slave labor camps for further education.
Revenge must have a legitimate reason. Gongtiantai is not a tool for blackmailing people to gain profits. It is a guarantee to guide thinking and an outlet for people to release floods.
It is necessary to standardize the virtues of the middle class, and it is also necessary to standardize the moral standards of the people. Being impartial and well-founded is the truth.
"Through this method, we can use the power of the people to find the bad apples first." Ying Yi said with a smile: "The truly evil ones will definitely not survive on the same platform."
Even if the avenged person is very powerful, as long as he is really evil, Ying Yi can guarantee that he will never be able to stay on the rooftop.
In fact, if the Daxia Empire had not had its own unique features, Gongtiantai would have been abandoned sooner or later.
How should I put it, the people are avenged, such as the rich and powerful bullies and tyrants, and the resources they can use far exceed those of the common people. People can strengthen themselves by practicing martial arts, and so can they. Moreover, they have money and can use better and more pills and medicinal materials, which are more powerful than what the common people can cultivate. Once on the rooftop, it's a win-win situation.
But the total rooftop is controlled by Ying Yi, and this is the fundamental reason. On the Gongtiantai, if Ying Yi asked him to die, he would have to die. No matter how strong he was, he would not be able to survive.
Moreover, the common people may not be weak - it is impossible to say that the children of this common people join the army, and those who come off the battlefield are extremely strong. Who bullies whom when they reach the common rooftop?
The three of them, Mu Que, were under the shared rooftop of Diqiu, and a revenge fight was about to take place.
The common rooftop in Diqiu was naturally the first to be built, and it only took one day. It's just a stone platform with a height of more than ten feet and a radius of thirty feet. The soil is then buried in an old-model octagonal tower. It is crushed with elements made of concrete and mud, and then a set of elemental talisman arrays are engraved on it.
When the revenge fight was about to begin, a wall half a person's height rose around the rooftop. At the same time, on the notice board standing under the common rooftop, there will be a central Yuanling announcing the reason and identity of the two parties for the fight.
This revenge fight is to avenge his mother.
But an old lady was bullied and injured, and her son avenged her. After investigation, the reason was sufficient. The avenger was the son of a wealthy businessman. He injured the old woman with his horse and insulted her with extremely vicious words.
Then the two sides went on to fight.
The results came out quickly - the son of a wealthy businessman was beheaded, and the mother's avenger was a general in the army, killing him with just one move.
With a flash of lightning, it was over. The wealthy businessman shed tears and held his son's body in pain, but he was warned by the central Yuanling that the matter was over and the grudges were wiped out. If you dare to act wantonly, you will be severely punished.
Things like this have become commonplace on Gongtiantai since then. There may be flaws, but overall it's good.
Good people have a place to vent their resentment. Evil perpetrators have learned from their mistakes.
The profligate bastards no longer dare to humiliate others at will. The wealthy businessmen have strengthened the education of their children and do not dare to go beyond the ordinary behavior.
