Lin usually followed Lin Qingran to discuss the rule of law in depth, and then left proudly humming a small song.

Over the years, she has grown a lot and realized that the rule of law proposed by her brother can not only resolve the case disputes she is currently facing, but also has the effect of being no less than the national policy of benefiting the people, such as the unruly book and the stake in the acres.

Once laws involving all aspects of society are introduced, local officials can rule according to the law, and the people can also protect their rights and interests through the law.

But she was also very clear about the resistance. After all, everyone wanted to have privileges rather than being restricted by the law, so as to treat the same as ordinary people.

That's why this path of rule of law is difficult to follow, but she believes that as long as she works hard, she will definitely lead China into a society ruled by law.

Lin Xuran looked at his sister who was leaving proudly, but there was a hint of bitterness on the corner of his mouth.

He was not as optimistic as his sister. After all, China has always ruled society by man. Although China had already had its own system of written codes as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the laws of all dynasties have been used to govern the people rather than govern power.

In particular, the imperial power has a supreme position. No matter how incompatible the will of "law", it has always been an imperial edict that is greater than anything else.

Now, if China truly transitions to a society ruled by law, it not only requires great determination, but also requires more than ten years or even decades of persistence, and it also requires firmly limiting the imperial power.

Of course, if a healthy judicial system can be successfully built and competent personnel can be found, then there is still a great chance of success in this matter.

The next morning, it was another beautiful spring weather.

Wenyuan Pavilion has become a well-deserved center of power at present, and almost all major decisions are finalized here.

At the regular meeting of the cabinet ministers, Lin Weiran saw that the time had come, so he communicated with Chen Yiqin and Zhang Juzheng on the idea of ​​perfecting the law.

"Master Yuan Fu, just tell me what to do, and I will definitely support you with all my strength!" Chen Yiqin knew that reform was not easy, so he directly expressed his opinion.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Lin Junran seriously and nodded solemnly to express his position.

Both of them are patriotic and loving the people. After learning about Lin Shiran's attempt to build a society ruled by law, they naturally realized that this is a real strategy for a lifetime.

"Okay, then I will make arrangements next! If there are any shortcomings or mistakes, please correct me!" Lin Junran immediately felt relieved and expressed his humbly.

As long as no one takes the opportunity to challenge his position, it will become much easier to promote the rule of law, and at least it will not cause party disputes.

Although he could get rid of any opponent with his status and prestige, and his relationship with Empress Dowager Chen, he did not want to get things to that point.

With the support of Chen Yiqin and Zhang Juzheng, he did not need to worry too much and handed over the drafting of the Labor Law and the Company Law to Zhang Juzheng.

As the sun is approaching, the yamen in the capital is already busy.

Since the cabinet is already the jurisdiction of all the Beijing yamen, many officials come to report their work every day, so there are always officials in front of Wenyuan's attic.

Under the leadership of a Zhongshu Sheren, an official wearing a third-rank official uniform walked into the Chief Auxiliary's room.

"Hai Rui, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, pays homage to Lord Yuanfu!" Hai Rui has also restrained himself a lot after so many years and saluted respectfully at Lin Xuran.

No matter how picky he was, he had to admit that Lin Shiran had created an unprecedented prosperity and even built the Ming Dynasty into a prosperous country.

He is not qualified to show off in front of Lin Qingran whether it is his identity and status, personal achievements, or the love of the people.

Lin Weiran's face remained gentle, and he raised his hand and said lightly: "Master Hai, please sit down!"

After ending his tenure as Governor Yingtian, Hai Rui performed very well and received support from local people, and was transferred back to the capital by Lin Weiran to serve as the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice.

It is worth mentioning that due to the significant increase in the affairs of the six ministries, Lin Weiran broke the original establishment and no longer appointed the left and right ministers, but was appointed as the ministers.

Now that he has reached the position of the Sixth Ministry of Justice, Hai Rui is over 60 years old, and he is undoubtedly at the ceiling.

In the current Ming Dynasty, it is already the limit to appoint a minister of the Ministry of Justice who is born in the Ming Dynasty, but it is impossible for Hai Rui to be appointed as the Minister of the Six Ministry of the Ministry of Justice. After all, Hai Rui is only born in the Juren.

Of course, there is no hope to break this ceiling. After all, Lin Weiran can be said to be covering the sky with only one hand.

"Master Xie Yuanfu!" Hai Rui sat down in the seat, and then couldn't help but ask: "Master Yuanfu, I wonder what the matter is that I'm going to find the official?"

Lin Qingran knew that there was no need to be around people like Hai Rui, so he asked directly: "Mr. Hai, after you took office in the Ministry of Justice, have you ever felt that the number of cases in recent years has increased a lot?"

"Sir Yuan Fu, this has been the case since his position! Although the officials did not know what the Ministry of Justice had been ten years ago, according to the complaints of the old clerk in the yamen, the number of cases increased by at least five times!" Hai Rui did not know what Lin Qingran had to do, but he answered seriously.

In fact, this kind of thing not only happened in the Ministry of Justice, but the Songjiang Prefecture Office where he worked earlier was fine, but he felt that the case had increased significantly as Governor Yingtian.

I didn't pay much attention to this issue at first. After all, more work is in line with my heart. I can help the people do more things during my term, rather than being a idle official.

However, Lin Qingran took the initiative to mention this vision, which forced him to pay attention to it. He just thought about it, and he didn't know why it was for a while, and he couldn't guess Lin Qingran's thoughts.

Lin Weiran had already seen this phenomenon thoroughly, so he expressed his opinion: "In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has vigorously developed the economy, and large workshops have appeared in many places, and more and more people are carrying huge sums of money to travel, so the increase in cases is essentially caused by economic activities!"

"Master Yuan Fu, haven't you always advocated development as the bottom line?" Hai Rui couldn't help but say surprisingly when he heard Lin Weiran pointing his finger at economic activities.

Lin Qingran smiled slightly and nodded gently and said, "Development is the hard truth! Now whether it is to open the sea or develop the economy, this is the national policy that our Ming Dynasty must unswervingly move forward. Although economic activities will inevitably intensify population circulation and friction, we cannot give up because of the choke. We must start to solve the problem if there is a problem!"

"Master Yuan Fu, don't know how to solve it?" Hai Rui faintly realized Lin Qingran's intention to come over, and immediately asked seriously.

Gun

Although everyone has the same head and legs, it has to be admitted that the evil-like chief minister in front of him has an extraordinary head.

Lin Qingran picked up the teacup, but smiled and said, "If you want to eradicate this problem, whether it is difficult or not, it depends on whether the Minister of Hai dared to take the "Public Security Memorial" back then!"

"Mr. Yuanfu, as long as it is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, the officials will definitely go through fire and water, and they will do whatever they want!" Hai Rui's eyes were clear and he seemed to be dying.

Although he worked in the capital, his life was indeed much more comfortable. However, this kind of life was not what he hoped, and he also maintained his original intention of doing things for the people, so he still dared to take on any challenges.

Lin Weiran saw the determination from Hai Rui's eyes and said straight to the point: "There are more and more criminal cases and civil cases. Not only is the Ministry of Justice busy, but some local governments even hire three or four famous criminal guru, so I want you to take the lead in establishing a court. The county-level court and government-level court will be added to the local court, and the court at the next level will be adapted from the Censorate, and finally the Supreme Court of the Ministry of Justice!" After a pause, he said seriously: "The establishment of a court involves a lot. Not only will it offend a group of people, but the selected personnel will not be able to handle it impartially and will be wasted all their efforts. Do you dare to take this burden?"

Given the judicial system in later generations, he has now decided to build a court system, so as to implement the rule of law step by step, and realize the spirit of the rule of law through the court.

Of course, the courts also have to be divided into levels. Once the people are dissatisfied with the judgment of the county-level court, they can appeal through the court-level court.

"I dare to ask Lord Yuan Fu, where to choose the candidates of this court, and what kind of fame they are required to be competent?" Although Hai Rui knew that Lin Shiran was a real reformer, he asked in shock when he heard that such a major operation.

Lin Qingran moistened his throat with tea, and then replied seriously: "The judge system belongs to the Ministry of Justice, just like the military prosecutor, and is only a ninth rank! I was originally appointed as the first choice for the Imperial College, and can also be recruited from scholars from all over the world, but it must be able to integrate the laws of the Ming Dynasty. The first batch of judges... are all based on your choice!"

The excessive cost of fame and fortune has made officials greedy. The imperial examination system undoubtedly has great disadvantages, so when it comes to the selection of judges, he will not only avoid those who have the fame of Jinshi, but also do not even consider the fame of Juren.

"Master Yuan Fu, if this is the case, the official is willing to take on this burden!" Hai Rui immediately expressed his authenticity when he learned that he had personnel rights and was not restricted by fame and fortune.

Lin Qingran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked seriously: "The cabinet has planned Shandong or Shanxi as a pilot. I wonder which place you want to choose?"

"Shanxi!" Hai Ruiruo thought about it and gave the answer authentically.

Lin Xuran didn't want Hai Rui to choose Shanxi, but he nodded happily and said, "Okay, I will send official documents to Shanxi immediately. The success or failure of this matter depends on you!"

"Master Yuan Fu, why do you want to find a subordinate for such an important matter?" Although Hai Rui and Lin Qian are fellow villagers, their relationship is far from being close, so they are confused.

Lin Weiran faced Hai Rui's gaze and replied frankly: "I am afraid that the only official in the world who can truly protect the word "justice" is the only official!"

"By thanking the importance of Lord Yuan Fu, the senior official will be successfully completed this time!" Hai Rui did not expect that Lin Junran would look down on him so highly, and immediately expressed his feelings.

Lin Xuran watched Hai Rui leave, but knew that he had thrown a stone into the lake, hoping that Hai Rui could make a good start for a society ruled by law.

There is no airtight wall in the world, especially Hai Rui is still a decisive person.

News that the court was going to build a full-time litigation court to handle litigation quickly spread in the capital, which immediately attracted strong attention from the entire officialdom and the people.

If the court adds it, it will undoubtedly mark judicial independence. In the past, all cases were handed over to local government offices, giving local officials great power.

But now, all cases have to be handed over to the court for handling, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the power of the local government and causes the power of the county magistrate to be damaged.

On the other hand, the courts rose, and they controlled the fate of the prisoners.

"Isn't it good to hand this over to the local government? Why do we need to add a court?"

"It is true. Now that the court has been added, this move will not only increase the expenses of the court, but also increase the expenses of the court!"

"When it comes to ability and justice, the magistrate is naturally more reliable. Who will be the judge in the additional court?"

...

Once the incident was reported, many people questioned the establishment of the court and were even more worried about the fairness of the court.

Of course, these voices mainly come from the conservatives. Nowadays, many people trust the court very much. Even if they do not agree with the addition of the court, they will not rashly jump out of questioning.

Many knowledgeable people realize the true intention of the court. While lamenting the court's ambition to do things, they also have to admire the prime minister who has been talented for a lifetime.

"I heard that judges do not need the fame of Jinshi, and they do not even need the fame of Juren!"

"Haha... do you know who will choose this time? That's Hai Qingtian, who doesn't eat meat once every half a year!"

"If you don't really learn, don't be embarrassed. Hai Qingtian must be using his power this time!"

...

After many people learned that the court had a set up, they immediately had bad intentions. They only found out that the appointment power was in Hai Rui's hands, and many people immediately retreated.

Although a rich young man was unwilling to go to Hai Mansion in person to find a good position, he saw that the house and residence of the minister of the Ministry of Justice were deserted and simple, and he left silently with the bribery items.

However, the Imperial College is another scene. Due to the rapid economic development over the years, the number of Imperial College has increased dramatically. It is just that it is more difficult to win fame than before.

Now that we know that the candidates for judges should be selected from their Imperial College, many students in the prison immediately studied and studied the Ming Dynasty's laws in order to win the quota of judges.

Facing thousands of applicants, Hai Rui screened them hard and finally took away only twenty places, which disappointed the students of the Imperial College.

After selecting the supervisors who were skilled in the Ming Dynasty, Hai Rui personally led a team to Shandong to carry out pilot work for the rule of law in the Ming Dynasty.

But things were still subject to resistance. When he had just arrived at Taiyuan Station, someone put a blood whip on the table in his station room.

I thought this was just a scare, but who would have thought that Hai Rui had just issued this new policy to Shanxi officials, but Hai Rui himself was stabbed in the butt by an arrow flying in.
Chapter completed!
