Chapter 108 The head is like rain (5)
"Taiwei, you have long wanted to reorganize Dali Temple, right?" Sima Kao, the Minister of Justice, asked a question with a strong skepticism.
When Zhao Jiaren began to try to propose the public security, procuratorial and judicial system, Sima Kao just felt that Zhao Taiwei probably wanted to install his own people. However, Sima Kao didn't care too much, because every official in the Song Dynasty was a minor official, with fifty to one hundred and fifty times the vassal outside the vassal outside the vassal. Everything Zhao Taiwei did was to replace these vassal outside the vassal outside the vassal with personnel within the state's system.
However, the most critical action to judge Song treason at the moment, Zhao Taiwei proposed a new system. This system is divided into two parts: civil law and criminal law, and litigation is divided into public prosecution and civil prosecution.
The procuratorate is the unit that filed lawsuits. For example, if the trial of Song Tseng was followed in the system before the Song Dynasty, it would be handed over to Dali Temple, and the judges would start the trial, question the case, and finally settle the case. In this process, Dali Temple itself and the noble Zhao Taiwei had absolute authority. The same is true for Lantai. These people could make people live and die for one word. This is also why these relatives of the "Song Tseng" had to ask someone to talk about the matter.
If the system proposed by Zhao Taiwei is followed, then things will be completely different. The procuratorate sends prosecutors to file lawsuits against the criminals' crimes, while the criminals will provide judicial services to the criminals according to the law. Finally, the procuratorate and the prisoners will make public defenses in the court for their crimes. The judge will finally conduct a trial.
"Taiwei, if this happens, we will be afraid that it will take the second half of the year to judge Song Tse!" Sima Kao said unhappily.
Although his main mood was unhappiness, Sima Kao actually felt an indescribable relief in his heart. If the entire system could really become like this, the pressure from the Ministry of Justice would be greatly reduced. At least Sima Kao could ask these officials to find a good lawyer.
Zhao Jiaren said: "There are too few people who can use it now. Although many people can pass the exam every year in the course of the subject, these are nothing compared to the manpower needed by the country."
Sima Kao nodded, but he couldn't help but comfort Zhao Jiaren, "Taiwei, the number of vassals is extremely large. When I first became a judge, I really felt that the Song Dynasty had almost no way out. So what if some officials were? In fact, everything in the local area was in the hands of these vassals. They were really heartbroken. Now that I finally have a solution to these, I feel extremely relieved! The Song Dynasty is saved!"
After hearing this, Zhao Jiaren just laughed a few times. To be honest, he was always surprised when he read history books in his childhood and youth. Why did those civil servants who were "high morals and serve the country and the people" unable to solve the dangers of the country? On the contrary, those corrupt officials were able to run rampant.
After Zhao Jiaren arrived in the Song Dynasty, he realized that the masters of the Song Dynasty were definitely not officials, nor even those officials. The masters of the Song Dynasty were in a sense the vassals. Corrupt officials were ruthless, materialistic, able to recognize reality and face reality. They could hold on to the vassals below, and they could also give weight to the vassals with some system, so they could do a lot of things.
The so-called honest officials were all idealists, who believed that the world should operate as they imagined. So they naturally encountered walls everywhere in the face of reality.
However, Zhao Taiwei couldn't help but think that many jury systems should be set up. The mainland law system is written, so there is no need for a jury system. Only when the marine law system is case law can the jury system be used to seek a "social consensus".
After staying in the United States for a long time, Zhao Jiaren discovered that the US jury system seemed very reasonable and very unreasonable. However, Zhao Jiaren later talked with a legal expert from a family of American local councillors and heard the insights.
"...Taiwei, what are you thinking?" Sima Kao looked at Zhao Jiaren's expression of wandering around and couldn't help but say loudly.
"I'm thinking about the jury system." Zhao Jiaren said. After saying that, he felt unsatisfied, so he simply said to Sima Kao, "I have an idea about this matter. We will have a meeting tomorrow!"
The next day was March 11, and it was the day when Zhao Taiwei went to court. It was similar to before. Queen Mother Yang announced that she would not come to court on that day. So the court meeting ended automatically. So the six ministers of the ministers of the Ministry of Justice, Zhao Jiaren and the members of the General Association of the Academy were called to their home not far from the imperial city by Zhao Jiaren.
In the huge conference room, Zhao Jiaren taught the group a lesson about the jury in the law of the sea.
The law of the sea originally had nothing to do with poor people. All courts and elections were aimed at the rich. In the early days, the British people who had the right to be elected were local nobles and powerful people. Those who had the right to be elected also had a certain amount of property, and had a sufficient amount of tax payment period and tax payment. So, 'We are taxpayers' is what the rich people can say.
In the 21st century, legal scholars from the American congressman family believed that Zhao Jiaren was also a "members" and expressed his insights. Such words would not be blunt to those poor people.
When the law of the sea was established, the rich people with the right to vote and the right to be elected, they had basically the same world outlook and values. Everyone only had different fields, and their basic ideas were actually the same. They could probably call them the "owners of the capital autocratic system". These leaders were juries and they were very concerned about the case and of course they could draw more reliable conclusions. When the poor had the right to vote, the law of the sea was still unchanged, so huge problems arose in the system. Originally, the theory was perfect and the system was strongly implemented.
Although Zhao Taiwei would not mention the 21st century and those things that cannot be mentioned, the words of Zhao Taiwei were still understood by these people. Sima Kao, with a sense of ownership and said from the bottom of his heart: "Taiwei, we will definitely not let the poor be members of the jury!"
Sima Kao's attitude obviously represents participants of similar backgrounds. Whether it is Sima Kao's uncle Xu Yuanzhi or Liu Meng, they all nodded slightly to express their support for Sima Kao.
However, Chen Qingnian, the Minister of Rites, was not very close to Zhao Jiaren. Now, after listening to Zhao Jiaren's lecture, he sighed with emotion: "Taiwei, I originally thought you regarded yourself as a warrior, so I was extremely determined to kill. Now I know that Taiwei, you are a Bodhisattva-minded person and will never kill him indiscriminately!"
After hearing this, Liu Meng couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Qingnian. As an early follower of Zhao Jiaren, Liu Meng knew very well how many people Zhao Jiaren had killed with his own hands, which was a triple-digit life. As for those who were killed under Zhao Jiaren's personal order, there were already five-digit numbers and headed straight for the six-digit number.
Recently, Zhao Jiaren is still discussing the war in two or three years later. The brand-new Song army attaches great importance to annihilation. Zhao Taiwei used cold arithmetics to prove to everyone that it would consume a lot of manpower and material resources to feed a person to the age of being able to die on the battlefield. Annihilation of the enemy is not only a huge loss from the enemy, but also a loss that is difficult to replenish in a short period of feudal system. Zhao Taiwei ordered that cities such as Lin'an, Fuzhou, and Quanzhou could collect tens of thousands of troops. However, Mongolia did not have such ability.
Finally, Zhao Taiwei calculated that as long as he could kill 600,000 Yuan of troops, officials and private soldiers of officials on the battlefield and local strategies, Dayuan would inevitably collapse completely. Including the excessive killing that inevitably occurred in this process, Zhao Taiwei believed that there must be about one million people killed.
If Taiwei Zhao can get what he wants, the people he ordered to kill would reach seven figures...
Although he didn't know the specific thoughts in others' minds, Chen Qingnian still felt some disagreements with him. He quickly emphasized and said, "If it were others, killing people is due to their own likes and dislikes. Zhao Taiwei has a system. This system itself is patriotism and love for the people, and punishing past mistakes to prevent future generations to cure diseases and save people. Looking back at the Empress Dowager's talk about this trial a few days ago, the Empress Dowager's intention to kill people is no different from a tyrant."
After this explanation, many people deeply agree. Those guys who were born in Jinshi were particularly worried. Even pragmatists like Liu Meng also felt that although Chen Qingnian's words were wishful thinking, they might not be completely unreasonable. Liu Meng also admitted that if Mongolia was willing to surrender to Zhao Taiwei, Zhao Taiwei would not have to kill 600,000 people.
"I don't need to say this kind of praise. Since everyone agrees, we will do a good job in this trial. In addition, I think you also know why you should cancel the vassal and change the administration." Zhao Jiaren said.
As soon as these words were said, the cadres looked indifferent, because they actually climbed up through the system built by Zhao Taiwei. In a sense, they were all officials and officials. Most of the Jinshi also felt that they had a new understanding of the new system.
Prosecutors, judges, lawyers, and all officials. According to the Taiwei Zhao, these people eat the country's financial meal, so the country can legitimately manage them, restrain them, and require them to be moral, have a philosophy, obey orders and obey orders. If the officials are disobedient, they will be dismissed from public office.
"But can the finances of the Song Dynasty really bear so much expenditure?" Chen Qingnian asked. He is considered a newcomer, and he is inevitably shocked by many things.
The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of property. Xu Yuanzhi, the Minister of Revenue, shouted: "There were so many black-hearted vassals who did so many bad things and could still live a life. They were all open and upright under the new administration, so why can't they bear it? Is it because good people don't live long and harm them for thousands of years?"
