Chapter 415 What is the 'Spring and Autumn Judgment'
I Won’t Be the King in the Spring and Autumn Period Chapter 415 What is the “Spring and Autumn Period Prison”
Li Ran, Sun Wu and Ye Xu all saluted Deng Xi at the same time, and Deng Xi accepted it quite calmly.
"There are also thirty-three records here of the several defense processes of Dr. Xihe Zichan, supplemented by this whole cart of "Bamboo Punishment," which can be said to be quite complete. At that time, you can excerpt the provisions that are suitable for Ye Yi at present, and
Make it public!"
Li Ran immediately expressed gratitude and said:
"Thank you sir for your generous teachings! However, I also have another unrelenting request, which is to ask you to become the Sikou of Ye Yi and grant you the power of punishment! You, sir, can also use this as an opportunity to continue to perfect "Bamboo Punishment."
Don’t refuse.”
When Deng Xi heard this, he was extremely excited when he found out that he had received such a great responsibility:
"Ming Gong's words are serious! I am not talented, but I still have great aspirations. If I can meet Master Ming today, I will live up to Ming Gong's aspirations and will not disappoint the people!"
Li Ran couldn't help but said happily after receiving such help from such a great sage:
"We came here today with the intention of inviting you to come out of the mountain! Now that you have passed away in Wuye City, we are all very grateful!"
This is of course. Since Deng Xi can show his talents in Ye Yi, what reason is there for him not to come out?
So he ordered the boy to immediately bring the "Bamboo Punishment" and came to Yeyi with the three of them.
Sun Wu also ordered people to announce the news to all the towns and cities, so that the people knew that a new secretariat had come to Ye Yi to take charge of all criminal disputes in Ye Yi.
After Deng Xi became the Sikou, his first step was to select some people from the declining nobles who had fled to Yeyi, as well as some local squires and Qiu chief clans. These people were called "jail listeners".
”.
Since these people were all people who had read a little bit of books and understood some principles, Deng Xi's approach was that once a case was difficult to resolve, he could directly ignore the law and let them directly handle it.
After the execution, a vote will be held to determine whether the person is guilty or not. Therefore, later generations also called it the "Spring and Autumn Period"
This novel move left Sun Wu and Ye Xu a little confused, because this was something they had never heard of or seen before. Therefore, they both felt very confused about it.
But as a person from the future, Li Ran is very familiar with this move. Because isn't this the prototype of the so-called "citizen jury"?!
Of course, the reason why Deng Xi only appointed some "scholars" is entirely due to the different times. In reality, these savages and refugees have little ability to think, so their judgment of right and wrong will definitely be somewhat worse.
It is also easier to "follow the wind and it will rain" and not have more rational thinking.
Therefore, it is really helpless that these people cannot be admitted to the "citizen jury" for the time being.
And those down-and-out nobles, as well as some squires and Qiu chiefs, entered this group. On the one hand, it was because these people had more or less read some books, knew the "righteousness", and had a certain consensus on the "standards" of right and wrong.
.
On the other hand, the down-and-out nobles of Zheng can represent the interests of the refugees, while the local squires and Qiu chiefs can represent the interests of the locals.
Therefore, we can also better weigh the contradiction between "local" and "foreign", so that there is a communication channel for each other to exchange their needs.
The most interesting thing is that due to Deng Xi's instigation, the streets and alleys of Ye Yi were all filled with the "two possibilities theory" similar to Zheng Yi's. Everyone was imitating Deng Xi's example.
There "debating right and wrong".
Deng Xi's so-called "two things can be said" means that for the same thing, due to the mutual constraints between the two opposing parties, it can cause conflicting reactions on both sides.
In such an atmosphere, it aroused heated discussions among the public about the rights and wrongs, and the people reached a consensus on most issues.
This also allows the "prison listeners" to make more fair judgments on certain cases that are difficult to decide.
Finally, under Deng Xi's measures of punishing and civilians at the same time, these refugees were immediately settled down.
After the refugee affairs were properly handled, Li Ran couldn't wait to summon Sun Wu and Ye Xu to discuss how to deal with the chaos in Zheng.
As Sun Wu said before, no matter what, we must first solve the dilemma faced by Dr. Zichan.
Sun Wu immediately said:
"Sir, now that civil strife has arisen in various countries, there is no time to take care of the Zheng State. Even the Jin State can hardly protect itself, let alone interfere with the Zheng State. Therefore, we can only do it ourselves now.
Got it!"
Li Ran pondered for a moment.
"During this period of time, I have not been interested in world affairs, and my mind has been so confused. Chang Qing, what do you think?"
Sun Wu replied:
"Sir, Wu thinks that now we can use Ye Yi as the foundation, let Wu issue a petition against Zheng, mobilize the refugees and common people to join the army, and in the name of the Qing monarch to quell the civil strife in Zheng, send troops to Zheng to demand that Zheng Bo be completely rehabilitated.
, stabilize the court situation, and demand that he hand over the culprit, Shu Niu!"
Li Ran nodded, feeling that Sun Wu's words were reasonable.
"Chang Qing, this is what you are good at, then you will have full authority to handle this matter!"
Sun Wu cupped his hands and said:
"Sir, it is a crime for Wu to act without telling anyone. Wu has been working on this matter before. When the refugees first arrived, Wu had already gathered a team of two thousand people. After the refugees settled down, they gathered again one after another.
With two thousand people, plus the troops originally guarding Ye Yi, it will not be difficult to raise a rebel army of more than ten thousand people once the proclamation is issued!"
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but joked:
"Chang Qing is a prophet, and he knows what's going to happen like a god?! It's a great thing to do, so how can it be regarded as a sin? It's just that these more than ten thousand people..."
Naturally, we cannot send out all of the more than 10,000 troops, and we still need some defensive forces to stay behind.
Sun Wu obviously knew what Li Ran was worried about, so he immediately clasped his fists and said:
"Soldiers are not in large numbers but in finesse. During this period of time, Wu should practice well so that one of them can be as good as ten. What's more, Zheng State is now in a period of chaos, and many people will definitely defect to us by then!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sun Wu means the so-called "the right person will get more help, the wrong person will get less help". Now that Zheng Guo's military morale is unstable, there will definitely be many surrendered soldiers by then.
Come and surrender.
So for Sun Wu, he didn't worry about the victory or defeat of the conquest of Zheng at all. In his opinion, as long as the banner they waved was just enough and enough to convince the people of Zheng, then they would be the invincible army!
Li Ran couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, and replied with approval:
"Well, Chang Qing's words are very reasonable. Chang Qing's 'temple calculation' can be said to be incisive."
"But... there is another thing that makes Wu extremely troubled. Wu thought about it, but he was at a loss. This is because although these recruits are easy to obtain, there is not enough copper and stone for smelting weapons. In other words, what is needed for war preparation
One weapon is still far from enough!"
By the way, change the source app to anyanapp version.】
Li Ran frowned, knowing that this was indeed a big problem. There were no copper mines near Yeyi, and there were not many copper utensils. Moreover, the mining of copper and stone in other places was generally in the hands of other major powers. It can be said that copper was the most important industry at that time.
Important strategic resources are indeed difficult to obtain.
In a battle between two armies, if one of the two armies is incompetent and lacks weapons, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
This matter is so difficult, no wonder Sun Wu is worried about it.
Li Ran was also at a loss and couldn't think of any solution for a while.
At this time, a servant came outside to report that someone from Zhongli had come to report his funeral.
Li Ran's heart sank when he heard the word "announcement of mourning"! He had roughly guessed what was going on, and immediately summoned the visitor.
Soon, a young man with a young appearance who had just lost his crown was brought in. I saw that this man had a calm air, and a bit of heroism in his eyes. I saw that he was wearing plain clothes and was kneeling on the ground.
, said:
"On my father's orders, I came to Yeyi to report my death. My lord, King Xiong Wei of Chu, passed away in Qianxi River!"
Li Ran had actually expected this ending. But when he heard it now, he was still startled.
Recalling the scenes with Chu King Xiong Wei, he couldn't help but sigh.
After waiting for a while, he finally came to his senses and stood up and stepped forward to help the man up:
"Young master, please rise. I wonder what I should call you?"
The young man stood up, bowed and replied:
"I am Fan Li, the son of Yin from Zhongli County."
"Ah? Fan Li?"
Li Ran looked very surprised when he heard this name.
Just because this name is so dazzling in the long history, he can't help but not know it. Legend has it that Fan Li in history not only had the unpredictable opportunities of gods and ghosts, but also had the wisdom to retreat bravely from the rapids. He was also respected by later generations as
