Chapter 684: Collective Responsibility



The accumulation of thousands of years of history is no joke. Most of the crystallizations of wisdom of these ancient people have passed the test of history.

The only pity is that Han Cheng was too ignorant. He didn't know that he would travel through time and space, and he was not adequately prepared. Looking back now, he felt a strong sense of regret in his heart, and the words "You only regret not having enough knowledge when you need it" kept circling in his mind.

However, although what was stored in his brain was nothing compared to the long history and numerous valuable knowledge, he was still influenced by it after all.

Moreover, he was now in an era that was too advanced, which further reduced the difficulty.

After some thought, Han Cheng found a solution to the current situation.

This method is Shang Jun’s method of collective responsibility!

The law of collective responsibility was an important part of Shang Yang's reforms, and it could be said to be a sword hanging over the heads of the Qin people.

Such a knife is not only suitable for ordinary households, but also promoted in the military.

If one family makes a mistake, the surrounding neighbors will be implicated; if one person retreats during a battle, the entire squad will be punished.

"Husbands and wives cannot abandon each other's faults and mistakes without harming their relatives, and people cannot conceal the truth for each other."

Even the closest couples and friends cannot cover up for each other, but must report to the government so that all evil and wrongdoing cannot be hidden.

Under such rules, few people in Qin dare to do anything illegal. After all, the people from the other four families are keeping a close eye on you!

In the army, the combination of the law of collective responsibility and the awarding of titles for military merit made the Qin soldiers fearless of their own lives in battle, and they fought bravely and dared not retreat.

Han Cheng is not ready to use the method of awarding titles for military merit for the time being. After all, although there are some sprouts of private ownership in the tribes now, they are still far from public ownership. It is obviously inappropriate to establish a system with a strong private nature at this time.

However, the law of collective responsibility could be implemented among slaves.

Just like the Qin State did, the slaves in the tribe could be organized into groups of five, called teams, and these five people could be tied together artificially so that they could supervise each other.

If anyone wants to escape, or does other things that want to harm the lives and property of the Qingque tribe, these people must report and stop them.

By doing this, you will not be guilty and will be rewarded. If you choose to turn a blind eye, you will be punished.

This method of letting slaves supervise each other is very good.

Compared with the external supervision and prevention methods used by Han Cheng before, this internal supervision method is much more sophisticated.

This can divide the slaves into many small groups, sow some seeds of defense among them, so that even if some of them have some disloyalty, they dare not take any action.

This kind of internal supervision is not only trouble-free, but also very effective. This can be seen from the fact that Meng, who wanted to escape, was not discovered by Junior Brother Sha and his fellow slaves, but was discovered and caught by Tian and his fellow slaves.

Combined with some attractive rewards, it would be strange if this policy did not produce very good results!

After thinking about the matter carefully again, Han Cheng, who understood the whole thing, felt relaxed all over. The vague worries he had about the slaves before had basically disappeared.

With this law of collective responsibility in place, as long as the citizens of the Green Bird Tribe themselves are not too rotten, there is basically no need to worry about how much trouble the slaves will cause.

Han Cheng was thinking happily. At this point, he felt that even though he had traveled through time, it wasn't a big problem if he didn't have any abnormal golden fingers.

Because his greatest advantage is his knowledge that is far beyond that of this era.

Faced with various problems encountered in the tribe, he always finds a suitable way to solve them.

Although the development of this tribe is not as fast as that led by the guy with the golden finger, it is more stable.

Han Cheng, in a good mood, went to find Wu and told him about this matter.

After hearing Han Cheng's statement, the witch was not as happy as Han Cheng had imagined. On the contrary, the old man fell silent after hearing it.

There is a reason for Wu's silence and hesitation.

Today, when dealing with Meng, the slave who wanted to defect, in front of everyone in the tribe, the witch carefully observed everyone's reactions.

Among them, he paid the most attention to the remaining slaves of the tribe.

Through observation he discovered that in today's incident, when facing the defector Meng, the ones who reacted most violently were not the citizens of the Qingque tribe, but the slaves of the Qingque tribe.

They hated the defector even more and wanted him to be punished more severely.

This discovery was also the main reason for his silence at this time.

Through this observation, he felt that these slaves in the tribe were completely loyal to the tribe, and all he needed to do was severely punish Meng, the defector.

The rest of the people no longer need to be restricted by the law of collective responsibility that the Son of God is now talking about.

This is because even if they are not restricted, they will not rebel against the tribe. If this method is used, it is very likely that these slaves will feel uncomfortable and then have some bad thoughts.

Wu was silent for a while before he began to tell Han Cheng his thoughts.

After listening to Wu's ideas, Han Cheng was very surprised. His surprise was not because Wu disagreed with his approach, but because Wu had thought of so many things.

It's true that old people become more sophisticated.

Han Cheng did not agree with the witch's statement. Coming from later times, he knew well how complex human beings were.

People are fickle and their hearts are unpredictable. This is not just empty talk.

At this time, these slaves are loyal to the tribe, but that doesn't mean they will remain so in the future.

Compared with human nature, Han Cheng still feels that the system is more reliable.

Han Cheng had no intention of forcibly blaming these slaves for things that had not happened in the future. It was wrong to punish people for mistakes they had not made, but it was very necessary to set up some systems in advance to prevent problems before they happened.

"Meng used to be very supportive of the tribe. When they attacked our tribe and we captured them but didn't kill them, we gave them food and clothes to keep them alive. They were extremely grateful, and Meng was the same.

But after such a long time, Meng gradually forgot all of this.

This kind of thing happened to Meng, and it might happen to others in the future..."

Han Cheng pointed at the room where Meng was imprisoned and spoke to Wu.

With such a ready-made negative example, Wu was suddenly shocked.

Yes, before, Meng Ke was just like the other slaves, he seemed to be very loyal to the tribe, but he betrayed the tribe...
