Law is not necessarily a good thing, but if it does not exist, then generally there will be no good things. Selfish desires and secret money transactions are likely to lead to a person's distortion of moral judgment and definition, and without law
Under the constraints of the law, people who have been wronged naturally have nowhere to redress their grievances, because you have no way to prove that you are right and others are wrong.
In the chaotic times before, the imperial court did not have that much energy to take into account all aspects of society, so how could many local officials have so much control when deciding cases and conducting trials?
The emperors who sit on the throne change things as if they were watching a lantern, and sometimes even the title of the country is changed within two generations. Who can remember the relationship and difference between the laws of this dynasty and that of that dynasty?
Just follow your own judgment.
The local officials' loose talk on the use of laws made the people hope that the laws of the Han Dynasty could be perfected as soon as possible and made public so that everyone could have a reference. At least they could not just let the officials say what they said.
In addition, as time goes by in troubled times, there are many displaced people wandering around in society. Although the imperial court has begun to resettle them, and the charity hall of the inner government is also responsible for this matter, it is still inevitable that some people have become accustomed to sneaking around and living an ignoble existence.
life, so everyone is looking for stability, and they are also looking for laws to limit and restrain these people.
Not picking up lost things on the road and not closing doors at night is not just because the people are rich and the world is peaceful. The most important thing is to have laws hanging above our heads so that no one dares to do anything illegal in public.
Moreover, the industrial and commercial class in society is developing rapidly now. Unlike the small-scale peasant economy in the past, the development of industry and commerce will naturally involve many issues of interest. These conflicts and disputes are far from involving human lives, and many of them are even caused by the use of
Money can solve the problem, and things like loans and financing are inevitable for business development, and conflicts are inevitable.
Therefore, if you lose your head because of these things, then who will dare to do business in the future, and how can the business of the Han Dynasty develop? Therefore, legal provisions related to industry and commerce will naturally also have a great demand.
The calls for laws among the Han people are getting louder and louder. This undoubtedly reminds Li Xingchen that since all walks of life can be restricted by laws, even the opposition voices from the government and the public are far less loud than the voices of support - as for this
It is conceivable whether the imperial court behind the scenes mobilized public opinion through newspapers and other mainstream media, and provided more explanations and enumerations to answer doubts. Otherwise, what would Li Xinchen do by starting a newspaper and investing so much money every year? Of course, Li Xinchen could also use the law to answer questions.
The law is used to restrain the internal government.
It's just that the development direction of the inner government is often in industries that have never been seen in this era. Therefore, the relevant laws are not so easy to formulate. This also requires a person who is talented enough to support the scene and can be keenly aware.
Follow up every move throughout the system development process at any time.
Chen Yu obviously had similar thoughts to Li Xingchen. After all, no matter how the supervisory system develops, it still relies on the law. How to judge whether a person has committed corruption and perverted the law still depends on the provisions of the law. Newly revised by Dahan
Most of the industries covered by the laws are old industries, and there is naturally a lack of restrictions on emerging industries such as charity halls. What they can play a role in are some general areas, such as capital flow and talent mobilization. Specifically,
The laws of the Han Dynasty cannot control how to support the families of heroes and martyrs in charity halls, how to place orphans of refugees, etc. Therefore, someone needs to specifically investigate the actual situation and formulate new laws as a supplement to the laws of the Han Dynasty.
And this person must be familiar with both the supervisory system of the Han Dynasty and the legal system of the Han Dynasty. Whether such talents are placed in the Yushitai or the Ministry of Punishment, they are top talents, and both sides have to fight for them. Woolen cloth.
"Yes, the law can indeed play a big role..." Li Xingchen gently stroked his short beard, thoughtfully.
"When it comes to laws, your Majesty should probably consult the Ministry of Punishment." Chen Yu asked tentatively.
He had a bad premonition.
Li Xingchen immediately laughed and said: "The Ministry of Punishment is responsible for the formulation of laws and the trial of cases, and what we need to solve now is obviously not how to deal with criminals, but how to find out who committed crimes, and more importantly, how to ensure that no one will be involved in the crime." Then he committed a crime. Obviously this should be the work of the Supervision Department rather than the Ministry of Punishment, otherwise I would be sitting and drinking tea with Shen Jun, Gao Shen and Aiqing at this time."
Yes, at this time Chen Yu and Du Qi have already figured out the purpose of His Majesty's visit today.
Ganqing is here to ask for someone.
Before, I thought His Majesty was straight to the point, but now I know that he is waiting for our Yushitai to fall into the trap.
At this moment, Du Qi wished he could give himself a slap.
What you just said was not good and you had to talk about the law. Your Majesty caught you right away, right?
The words have already been said to this extent, so naturally there is no room for maneuver.
In recent years, due to the intense war, the Yushitai has been almost indispensable in the imperial court. Going forward, which department is not more important than you? Except for a few rectifications of officialdom before the war, the Yushitai has no Regardless of their achievements, their own people have to be constantly seconded by various departments.
Now that the war is over, His Majesty has begun to pay more and more attention to this department that is almost independent of the court and has become Qingshui Yamen. He even specially transferred Chen Yu here. This naturally made Du Qi and the others even more motivated to fight. What can I say? The supervisory system of the Han Dynasty must be completely established and managed well, and it cannot be a stick in one place and a hammer in the other like before.
To do this, you must first obtain His Majesty's support. After all, what you are doing will definitely offend others.
His Majesty obviously understood this, so he came to ask for someone with confidence.
Chen Yu and Du Qi looked at each other, and Chen Yu said slowly: "I have a recommendation for the person your Majesty needs."
"Oh?" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows.
In fact, I just asked with the attitude of giving it a try, and I didn't expect Yushitai to cooperate obediently. After all, now is the time to employ people, and I didn't expect Yushitai to really be able to produce such talents - but not I know how Chen Yu and Du Qi would feel if Li Xingchen's mentality was known.
Chen Yu said directly: "After the Ministry of Punishment revised the law last month, the officials had a lot of free time, so the Yushitai seconded three officials to the Ministry of Punishment to help the officials of the Yushitai headquarters familiarize themselves with the newly revised law. One of them was quite He is talented, and he was also ranked second in the Han Dynasty's first imperial examination. He is called Fang Yanqian. I wonder if your majesty still remembers him?"
Li Xunchen was startled, then smiled and said: "Yes, this person wrote very well at that time. I also hope that he will achieve something. From what Aiqing said, he is indeed a man of practical ability."
