"Of course I know."

Fang Xuanling looked at him and didn't know what it meant, but he knew this thing.

"So, after the Han Dynasty was established, were there only three laws?"

Ye Tan continued to ask.

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "This is impossible, there will definitely be a lot more."

"Why do you need so much?" Ye Tan asked strangely.

"Because there are many things, if you rely on three points, you will not be able to handle national affairs."

Fang Xuanling continued to answer, to be honest, it was interesting to this thing.

"Does the Lord of the House think that as time changes, as the country has more populations, more things, and all kinds of strange bad behaviors have also appeared, which will change?"

Ye Tan's words stunned him, and then nodded, "What he said makes sense, that's the truth."

"Well, Lord Fang is right. I wonder if other adults agree with this reason?"

Although what Ye Tan said was a bit confusing, it was very simple. With the establishment of the country, it was not about stealing cattle or other things to kill people. It was the law of war and was different from usual. This was the reality.

"It seems that you all recognize it. With the prosperity of the country and the increase in population, we need to modify the law. This has nothing to do with the law of the ancestors. If it is the law of the ancestors, there are no six ministries and no so-called censors, right? We are actually changing all the time, and we are all unconsciously."

Ye Tan's words are not complicated, everyone knows that this is the case, but it doesn't mean that they can recognize them if they know it.

"Is this wrong saying that God has the virtue of living a life?"

At this moment, Kong Yingda, who had never spoken, suddenly said this. For him, as a descendant of Confucius, he liked what he did more, but he had to be moral.

"Mr. Kong said that, right. God has the virtue of living a life. We should be more tolerant of those who do wrong things. After all, Your Majesty governs the world with kindness and filial piety. If you bother people like this, wouldn't it mean that we have no kindness and righteousness? If this is the case, it would not be a good thing." Changsun Wuji had no idea, but suddenly said this at this time. I have to say that it was very powerful.

"And they just do something wrong occasionally, lose their freedom, and let others work. This is wrong. After all, they are also people of the Tang Dynasty. If they do so, they will smear His Majesty's reputation."

"That's right. They'll just be punished for a while. There's no need to do corvee service. Isn't corvee service a commoner? They're fine in summer. If they're left idle all the time, chaos will happen."

"Originally, the matter of corvee labor is the people's affairs, not those who commit the crime."

...

Soon, many people started to say things, which seemed to make people feel very reasonable.

Ye Tan looked at them with a smile. Such a person is very interesting.

"Okay, Ye Tan, tell me."

Li Shimin looked at their words and felt that if they continued, the people in the court would still have nothing to do.

"Yes, your Majesty."

Ye Tan looked at them and thought that such a person was really interesting.

"After these people are caught, do they have to eat? Do they have to drink water? Do they have to live in the room?"

Ye Tan looked at Kong Yingda and asked, "This guy is actually not a bad guy, and his brain is quite interesting."

"That's natural. Is Ye Hou planning to let them not eat or drink?" Kong Yingda naturally knew about such a thing. To be honest, it was a bit too much.

"Is it appropriate for them to be raised by the court when they have committed a crime?"

Ye Tan looked at Kong Yingda and asked, is this too much?

"Aren't they committing a crime? There's nothing we can do about it."

Kong Yingda's words made Ye Tan laugh and said, "Mr. Kong, our court is not rich now. They committed a crime, were arrested, and were trapped in freedom. This is a punishment. Is this true?"

Kong Yingda nodded and said, "It's true, it's enough."

"They harm other people's health or interests, so they lose their freedom. That's all, this matter is over, right?"

Ye Tan continued to ask, sometimes he was helpless with such a person.

"Yes." Kong Yingda looked at Ye Tan strangely, not understanding what it means. Didn't I explain it clearly?

"So, what should I do if I eat and drink? Who pays for it? Is the court? The money from the court is not enough for ordinary kind people who don't do bad things. Isn't it funny to give such people who harm the interests of the court?"

Ye Tan's words stunned the other party, and this is really the case.

"But, but..."

Before Kong Yingda could say anything, he heard Changsun Wuji say, "Since they have been arrested and have no freedom, the punishment will be over, including these food and drinks."

"Yes, yes, this is included."

Ye Tan looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Sir Changsun, what you said is included? Are you considered a forced buying and selling?"

"What does it mean? When did I forcefully buy and sell?" Changsun Wuji looked at Ye Tan with a strange look. What was he talking about.

"If the people are bullied, those people are arrested, and they do not compensate the people for their losses, can they be fine? How do they compensate? Many of them have no money at all, they are eating, drinking and robbing outside. Such people not only intend to owe the court's money and food, but they even have to pay compensation from the people. Is it true that ordinary people honestly pay food, obediently, and obey the court's corvee service, the purpose is to be bullied?"

Ye Tan's words are not that I can't explain clearly to you, but that there are many truths that I can't even think of.

"This, this, has never been such a reason since ancient times." Kong Yingda had no choice but to say so.

"Haha, the truth that has not been made since ancient times cannot be found now?"

Ye Tan looked at the other party with a strange look and asked, "Before the Han Dynasty, there was no Confucianism as an orthodox knowledge. Why? Could it be that Emperor Wu of Han did something wrong?"

"You are outrageous. How can this matter be compared with the knowledge of the saints?" Changsun Wuji couldn't say that Ye Tan could only start to put a hat on it. They might have been used to such behavior for a long time.

"Haha, are we discussing size now? We are discussing whether to do this? Why, is your way of thinking just to put a hat on it?"

Ye Tan looked at the other party with a smile and said.

Then, unlike the others, I continued, "And you should know that these people are in good health, some of them are strong men. Wouldn't it be a waste to put such people in prison if they don't work? Moreover, isn't it a good thing for them to replace the people's corvee service? Someone said that the people do not perform labor service, so they will cause trouble. I don't know where this idea comes from? Do you think they are asking them to build the Yellow River now? No, what are they doing now? Working hard for their own good days, many of them can't even live a life. Isn't it a good thing for them to get some food and money for their homes? At this time, if you are willing to go out, you can ask, what's the point, you will know. What's the point of saying this now?"

Ye Tan's words are very simple, but although your words are simple, they make us feel uncomfortable because we are waiting for others.

"Your words of God's virtue of life will make good people suffer losses, so that evil people can eat and drink without worries? If this is the case, then it will be very terrible for some New Years, because if the people don't give them some ways to live, then many people will be old and have no food and drink. What should I do? I dare not rebel, there is only one way, that is, to send yourself to prison, because you can eat and drink in this way. Isn't it fun? But this is wrong. If you do something wrong, you will be punished. But, punishing you is to tell you that it is wrong for you to do this, but not to let you learn well. You also need to let the person who was hurt by you and give you money to support you? Is there such a reason in this world? Repaying evil with kindness? How can you repay kindness? This sentence should be what our husband said? Why, are you talking about other things now?"

"Ye Tan, what do you mean? What do you mean? What are the people who feed them? The money is all from the court, and I know it. When the Tang Dynasty attacked Luoyang, the life of those prisoners was not easy. It was just a little food, and it took several days to eat. Isn't it okay to use this little money to demonstrate His Majesty's kindness?"

Kong Yingda was not a person who was studying hard. As one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, his ability in this area was not simple. What do you think?

Others nodded, and they thought so. The way they did things in the past was like this. Spend some money to make others think they were suckers, but they still felt that they had become the other party’s immediate boss.

It’s funny to let yourself spend money and make yourself think it’s good.

"Haha, Lord Kong, you are very good at studying. When I was in Songzhou Confucianism, my teacher, Mr. Liang Shuqun, said that you are a master of study. If you can study here, he will feel it worth it in his life. I believe that there are still many people in the world who think so. You are good at studying and teaching. Many of His Majesty's children follow you to study, and even His Royal Highness is the same. I think that studying with you is a kind of enjoyment, because you are not a person who studies hard, but a person who can entertain teaching. Therefore, studying with you will quickly increase your knowledge."

Ye Tan suddenly smiled and said something like this, which made his people stunned. What does this mean? What does this mean?

Aren't you arguing? Why did it suddenly become this?

"Yehou doesn't need to compliment me, I know my abilities."

Kong Yingda was still a little helpful when he heard Ye Tan's words. For him, he had no interest in money in his life, only one thing he was interested in, that is reputation. He was a descendant of Confucius, which was considered a kind of honor. However, because of this, his identity was branded. He wanted to take it off, but found that it was not possible at all.

"Mr. Kong, you know me too. I don't like compliments. I never like it. But there are two things to say, two things to say. After all, when governing the country, what we have to do is not a round trip, three or five miles, seven or eight feet high, and such a mountain cannot be said, because when the words in our mouths come out, they are spitting and nails. If we cannot let go of this romantic idea, then it will be troublesome in the future. People's belly cannot be filled with some techniques, but how much food can there be in the family's fields,

If you have less, you may starve a person to death. The longer the fabric is, the longer it is, and if you have less, someone will be frozen. The bigger the house in your house is, the bigger it is. If you have less, you will be in trouble because you can't sleep outside. Not only is this little marquis like me, even your Majesty, does your Majesty need to know how many people he has, how many land he has, how many state officials he has, and how many state troops he has, if you don't know these, then how to govern the world? With an article or by your brain's imagination?"

Ye Tan's words made him not know what to say, but just looked at him and asked him to continue.

"I will approve of the little food you just mentioned. How did this little food come from? Does it have nothing to do with the people? I'll tell you a account here. How did the food from the imperial treasury come from one hundred kilograms? You probably don't know, right?"

"Why don't I know, isn't it just collected from the people? Can't the court use it?"

Ye Tan looked at him, shook his head and said with a little laugh and crying, "Sir Kong, you really don't know. I didn't want to say more, but you insisted on letting me say it out. To be honest, it feels a bit embarrassing."

"You said, I must listen to what you mean, and see what you mean? Can you bring some people who have just made small things outside to deal with it?"

"All right."

Ye Tan sighed, then looked at the others and found that many people thought that this matter could not be said, but, does he care?

Since you don't care, then you have to deal with it well.
