Jiang Zuo and Jiang You both have their own difficulties. It only depends on the methods of those who govern. Li Jing is a step ahead. Who is the father-in-law of the emperor? He doesn't have to worry too much when doing things.
……………………
In early June, three generals, Zhang Lun, Xue Wanche, and Zhang Shigui, who had returned to Beijing to report on their duties, came to the palace to see him.
At this time, the intensive small court meeting had been stopped by Li Po. At the large court meeting on the first day of June, Li Po announced a phased result.
It involves the issue of taxes and land allocation. This has been almost discussed. Many preferential policies have been given to Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places. Light corvee and low tax are all the meanings of the question. The main reason is to attract
People go there to settle.
In the early years of the Northern Qi Dynasty in Hebei, the Shandong Military Group had become a thing of the past. Many famous wealthy families had disappeared in the long river of history, and only two or three kittens were left, just hanging on.
Some of them either fled to the south of the Yangtze River or arrived in Kansai. The Jin region actually took some of them in, but their foundations have been destroyed. The stories of those years have disappeared and are no longer seen.
Most of the people who came back were immigrants. The current situation is that the eliminated princes and soldiers became the first batch of immigrants. They were scattered everywhere and could not stir up much waves.
The government is actively re-registering household registrations and resuming production. This year, because the war ended early, we can still count on the autumn harvest. Policies to benefit the people will be decided in June, and the farmers' burden will be lighter during the autumn harvest.
After the Great Dynasty, Li Po did not intend to keep an eye on the Ministry of Revenue anymore, and handed over the important task to the Ministry of Finance. At a certain stage, the Ministry of Finance would submit the submission, and the documents would be reviewed by Zhongshu and his subordinates. Those handed over to him would be
Much simpler.
The days of chasing after his subordinates and kicking their butts were finally over...Li Po also let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yang Gongren, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, requested to redefine the Tang Code. Li Po followed suit and handed it over to Zhongshu Ling Xiao Yu to take charge. People from all three provinces were required to participate.
In fact, it was completed on the basis of the Sui Code. According to Yang Gongren's suggestion, the Code of Laws of the early Sui Dynasty was used as a reference, because in the middle period of the founding of the Emperor, the power of the former Sui Dynasty was gradually increasing, and many of the regulations of the Sui Code revised at that time were not suitable for the current one.
Tang Dynasty.
In his later years, Yang Jian was suspicious of the heroes and wanted to prevent counterattacks from various opposition forces, so the laws became stricter.
Needless to say, during the Daye period, Yang Guang was too impatient and revised the Sui Canon very casually and endlessly. Yang Guang seemed to only care about revising the Sui Canon, and did not care about what was revised, so it had no reference value.
When Li Po asked Wang Ze and others to revise the criminal laws in Jinyang, they referred to the laws of the middle period of Emperor Kaihuang's reign. They combined leniency and strictness, and if they were written down one by one, it was already a very complete ancient law.
As for the loopholes in the criminal law, they are not worth pursuing, because given the current population and the limitations of people, there will not be too many overly complicated disputes and cases.
For example, if two people fight and there is no serious injury or death, it will not be reported to the government at all, let alone a debate about self-defense or mutual assault.
For example, if you have a green head, you can go over and kill the adulterer with a sword, and the government will not pursue him. If you kill a bully in the village, with everyone protecting you, you have a high chance of escaping the crime. That is
It is said that the laws of the world are very subjective.
On the other hand, the powerful people in the countryside will take advantage of them. If they collude with officials, they can run rampant in the countryside and prey on the people with impunity.
Of course, those who occupied more resources later also took advantage, so there was no need to expect that the laws of the world could restrain the aristocracy.
What can restrain them is actually the shackles of reputation and credibility, which prevent the common people from going too far. For them, the law is mostly just a tool to control the people.
The core idea of the criminal law of the Central Plains Dynasty is actually the use of etiquette and law, and etiquette is before the law, the upper class knows the etiquette, and the lower class abides by the law, which is a harmonious society.
Roughly speaking, it means that morality is used to restrain people's spirits and laws are used to regulate people's words and deeds. It is a completely different legal ideological system from the legal society that was later promoted by Westerners.
……………………
What Yang Gongren requested was to redefine the laws of the world, covering all aspects of society. It was a coincidence that as soon as He Chou gave his advice, Yang Gongren's letter came to Li Po's desk.
Li Po was a little doubtful that the two of them had colluded, but no matter what, it did not conflict with his intention, and the formulation of the Tang Code was indeed within his plan.
By the way, he ordered the Ministry of War to revise the military laws, which happened to be the establishment of Zhechong Mansion. There was also a school in Zhechong Mansion, and military law would be the first lesson for the soldiers of the government.
Strict military discipline is the basis for ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army. If every soldier can be familiar with the military discipline code and enforce the orders and prohibitions, the combat effectiveness will definitely be overwhelming.
Therefore, the court was still busy in June.
At this time, Chen Xiaoyi, Pei Ju, Li Jing, Zhang Yunzhi and others, under Li Po's instruction, wrote to request the establishment of academies. Li Po approved them one by one, and ordered the Imperial College and Chang'an Academy to send people to various places to set up colleges in various places according to the model of Chang'an Academy.
Four academies.
They are all named after place names, Luoyang Academy, Jinyang Academy, Jiangling Academy, and Chengdu Academy. If nothing else happens, there will be Jiangdu Academy or Danyang Academy in the near future.
Forget about Shandong and Hebei, there are not many people left there, so building academies is a waste of time.
……………………
It was noon when Zhang Lun and others entered the palace to meet the emperor, and they gave a banquet in Liangyi Hall.
The three of them entered the palace and gave military salutes in unison. They banged their chests and thought, this was the first time for these guys to enter the palace. Even though they were all ambitious and brave people, they were mentally prepared in advance, but they still couldn't.
Due to the majesty of the palace, he became cautious.
Having outsourced everything in the past two days, Li Po felt a little more relaxed. He met a few old subordinates and was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said, "They are all my heroes. Let's sit down and talk."
The three of them thanked each other and took their seats.
Looking at them, Li Po smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for two years since we crossed the river and entered Kansai. Seeing that you both look good, I feel relieved.
You have led the troops effectively outside and have made great contributions to the country and to me. How about having a few more drinks with me later?"
So what else is wrong? All three of them showed their eight big teeth and smiled brightly. The Supreme looked the same as before and was very kind to them. This is a very happy thing. Indeed
Have a few more drinks.
Zhang Big Beard scratched his beard habitually and said: "The last general and so on have no merit. If it had not been for the supreme simplicity in these years, how could the last general and so on be where he is today?
Even though I haven't seen the Supreme in the past two years, I always feel unsure when leading troops, and I am afraid of embarrassing the Supreme. Thinking about it privately, I still feel at ease when I was obeying orders under the Supreme in those years.
The supreme emperor ascended the throne, and the generals were waiting outside to hear the news. They were all extremely happy, but... alas, there is one less general in the world..."
