Chapter 6 Section 5 Zhao Zu Li Li

Hanpu was revered as the ancestor because of the establishment of compensation conditions, which enabled the Jurchen nation to have the earliest customary law; Suike was revered as the ancestor because he taught the Jurchen to build houses.So, what was Shi Lu's contribution to the Jurchen nation?Why is it revered as Zhaozu? Generally speaking, the temple names of ancient Chinese emperors were called ancestors when they were created, and ancestors when they were kept.The emperor who created the situation can be called the ancestor. Needless to say, the earliest ancestor, offering ancestors taught people to build houses, so what did Zhaozu Shilu do?Shi Luming's law.Didn't there already be laws when it wasn't Hanpu?Kill a man, pay six taels of gold, twenty horses, and ten cows, and then send a man to work as a labor force for others. How can Zhaozu come to enact laws? "Jin Shizhaozu Benji" records: "There is no contract for giving birth to a daughter, no restraint, and no inspection."

Because the Jurchens have no written language, they have no written laws and cannot be restrained.According to the customary law of the tribe, give six taels of gold, ten cows, and twenty horses, and send someone as a hostage, but if I don’t give it, what can you do to me?If someone violates this rule, there is no way to sanction him.Zhaozu believes that the rules handed down from the time of the ancestors have gone through five generations, and they should keep pace with the changes of the times, so he wants to re-establish the rules and regulations.After doing this, "all the fathers and people in the ministry were displeased and wanted to kill him."Everyone in the tribe disagreed, including many of his elders.Why are you kid?When you are the leader of the tribal alliance, you just change the rules set by your ancestors?That's worth it!Just bury this kid.The pit was dug, Shi Lu was tied up, and when he was about to be thrown into the pit to fill up with soil, his uncle Xie Lihu appeared in time and rescued him.According to the history books, Xie Li suddenly learned that the tribesmen were going to kill Zhaozu, and said: "My brother, a sage, will be able to inherit the family and organize the tribes. Why do this generation want to kill Zhaozu?" ("Jin Shizhaozu") this book)

Xie Lihu rushed to the scene at the critical moment when Zhaozu Shilu's life was at stake, stopped the tribesmen who were about to fill up the soil at the edge of the pit, and shouted: "Stop, this is my elder brother's son, he is a great sage, and he will surely make it easier for him." Our tribe is prosperous, how can you bury him alive?Let it out quickly.After speaking, he drew his bow and set up an arrow to shoot at the crowd.Of course, how many people can he kill with arrows alone?This is to make a gesture: I am Xianzu's brother, and in the tribe, I am also equivalent to the nine-pocket elder of the beggar gang. Now you want to bury my nephew, I don't agree, I will fight with you.When the arrow was shot, everyone was frightened.Seeing that the brothers of the former boss have all come forward, it seems that this kid can't be buried, the people of this group are not united, and there is no leader, and Xie Lihu is very respected in the tribe, so he stood up and expressed his opinion, This gang of mobs immediately dispersed.Shi Lu escaped unharmed, wiped off his cold sweat, it was so dangerous, he almost got buried.Surviving the catastrophe, he became more determined to reform.For the development and growth of our tribe, the more you don't let me do this, the more I have to do it!After the rest of his life, Shi Lu immediately formulated clear legal provisions.Without words, how is this clear legal provision recorded?It is not mentioned in the history books, maybe carved wood and knotted ropes, or some other method was used, but the regulations were formulated anyway.

After formulating clear regulations, the management of tribal members was strengthened. After the members of the tribe were subdued and no longer rebelled, Shi Lu began to conquer other tribes.When our village settles down, we want to express a good desire for union with other villages. If he also has a good desire for union, we will unite; if his desire for union is not very strong, I will use force to make him unite with me, and then Villages merged into one township.Shi Lu took people out to conquer, and merged the five tribes in one go, and his power immediately grew.Shi Lu felt that our tribe is too big now, and the place we live in is too small and cramped, which is not enough for us.Therefore, Shi Lu will lead his tribe to develop outward.This time something went wrong.
