Chapter 354: Heavenly Demons Refining Gods, Discussing the Legal System (5k)(2/2)
After spending a period of time reorganizing the Mayan city-states, Cang Cu will naturally not stay here forever. Instead, she will return to the Central Plains to inspect the development there and learn about Zhao Qing, a man who has lived for more than a thousand years.
He is the only character who can significantly improve the potential of civilization.
…
About a month and a half later, the Da'an Dynasty, which had recruited and surrendered many rebel armies and basically recovered the north, did not enter a state of "rest and recuperation". On the contrary, it immediately formed a Northern Expedition army against the Eastern Turks, with the intention of eradicating this long-established grassland.
, the scourge of marauding borders.
The earthquake not long ago seemed to be an ominous omen and would have had a negative impact on Anguo. However, many scholars confirmed that it happened in the border area between the East and West Turks, which instead showed that the Turks were no longer allowed to go to heaven.
I agree that we should follow the laws of nature and seek punishment.
After learning about the danger of invasion by extraterrestrial civilizations, Zhao Qing did not interfere with the original plan to pacify the Turks. Instead, he paid more attention to it and prepared to select a group of elites from the soldiers who performed well and had reliable backgrounds in the Northern Expedition.
, gradually let them know the news.
At the same time, in order to reduce the burden of complex government affairs and speed up reforms to eliminate the long-standing monopoly of powerful officials, she successively issued tens of thousands of new bills with detailed clauses to three provinces and six ministries, stipulating the regulations for various actions in recent years.
system.
Especially for laws of great significance, the severe punishments such as chariot splitting and owl head punishment in the Daxing Code were immediately abolished. With reference to the Kaihuang Code written by Gao Jong and others in the Sui Dynasty, according to the former "the punishment network is brief and sparse."
Without losing the concept of "legislating leniently and being cautious about the death penalty", the regulations on names and regulations, guard bans, job systems, household marriages, stables, good fortune, thieves, lawsuits, fraud, miscellaneous, arrests and executions, and prison sentences
A total of twelve major categories were re-stipulated, and the privileges of the bureaucratic aristocratic class were strictly restricted. The essence of feudal law that "law comes from the king" was abandoned, and the five hundred articles of the newly compiled "Anguo Legal System? First Edition" were compiled.
In order to ensure the uniform application of the law, so that law enforcement officials can understand the precise meaning of each article, subdivide the differences between crimes, and give full play to the effectiveness of the law, Zhao Qing explained the entire "Law System" line by line and wrote a
"Shu Yi", which has hundreds of times the words of the former.
It should be noted that, whether it is the first version of the "Anguo Law System" or various other bills, although it has established a comprehensive legal system that regulates every detail and provides detailed guidance on the subsequent work matters of each department,
But they are clearly marked as temporary in nature.
After all, in Zhao Qing's view, even if the bills are well designed, they may be able to reach a near-perfect level now, but there is no guarantee that they will still be able to exert their best effect in the ever-changing future, and a certain amount of time needs to be left.
There is room for progress only if we keep pace with the times.
In addition, in the name of showing kindness, ancient emperors often issued amnesty orders to pardon a group of criminals who had not committed any evil crimes when the emperor ascended the throne, changed his reign title, established a queen or crown prince, or encountered a major natural disaster.
Especially when the new emperor ascends the throne, it has become a common practice.
For example, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty changed the relatively good "Kaihuang Code" beyond recognition and turned it into the "Daxing Code" that brutally suppressed the people. However, he often granted amnesty to the world to show "benevolent governance" and "moral governance".
.
However, this pardon, which seems to be effective in exonerating many wronged people and winning over people's hearts, is not a good thing in Zhao Qing's eyes. It benefits the guilty, leaves the victims unable to receive compensation, and damages the law.
It is completely irresponsible and a negative measure that causes social unrest.
When the world is peaceful and the people are healthy, "amnesty for the world" gives people a chance to reform. The disadvantages seem to be few, but in times of trouble, it actually helps evildoers and harms good people.
Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, she did not grant amnesty to the world as usual. She only ordered that criminals in the world be given an opportunity to surrender in the near future to reduce their sentences. She also required all past cases in various places to be summarized and reported, and re-examined the unjust cases.
The number of wrongful convictions.
Recently, a new simple magnetic particle recorder was developed that only had recording capabilities but could not be reproduced. Zhao Qing immediately produced hundreds of them and sent them to various counties and counties as his own eyes and ears to collect information and serve as a supervisory function for criminals.
A confession is entered into it, and then she reads the information carried by the magnetic particles.
By testing the words and emotions of officials and prisoners in this way, Zhao Qing is confident that he can remotely find out 90% of the unjust, false and wrong cases, and mark the remaining doubtful parts for people to take to Beijing for retrial, thus improving the level of the rule of law in the world.
A substantial increase.
As for the imperial examination system that selects talents from all over the world, it is still in the preliminary preparation stage, and it will be difficult to establish an effective form within one or two years. It is mainly replaced by allowing talents from all over the country to self-recommend themselves, regardless of their origin, and accept the examination.
All in all, everything in the country was running in an orderly manner as she had expected. Zhao Qing was gradually relieved of the burden of government affairs and had more free time. During this period, she obtained many of the latest results of the institute.
.
In addition to the more conventional research on demon cultivation, material development, weapon upgrading, etc., she also got some inspiration from the jade fragment of the alien spacecraft and tried to develop a product with characteristics based on the most common water ice.
Adjusted new materials.
The ability to solidify water vapor into high-strength ice swords at any time has always been a method Zhao Qing often uses in battles. Now, she hopes to sublimate ordinary ice crystals into higher-end materials, such as black ice and other spiritual materials. Although
No big results have been achieved yet, but there are some inspirations for making black ice.
It is worth mentioning that, seemingly in order to cooperate with the evil spirit's actions in Dahuang Mountain, Zhao Qing obtained information that on the same night when the evil spirit set up an ambush, "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan secretly sneaked into the rain cave near Tiger Leaping Gorge in southern Sichuan.
Mengshan, where Cihang Jingzhai was stationed, took away the urn of Bi Xiuxin and the golden body of Di Ni. It is not known what they wanted to do.
Speaking of which, after digging for a month and a half in the northwest desert with his unconscious men, Xiang Yutian had already excavated five quarried stones buried thousands of meters underground and sent them over. However, there were too many burial objects at the tomb of the Great Khan.
Because of this, I am still supervising the work there.
