There was no case hearing today, so Luo Youdu just took the time to read the laws of the following week.
It is said that it is a law of the Later Zhou Dynasty, but it is actually the "Dazhong Criminal Code" promulgated during the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the Tang Dynasty fell for many years, because no truly powerful country emerged, many rules and regulations were copied, with only a few changes.
Fortunately, I inherited Luo Youdu's own memory knowledge, so I can still read and understand even esoteric books such as criminal law.
He had studied history for three years for a business, so he naturally had the perseverance to memorize the "Dazhong Criminal Law System" and had already made up his mind to conquer "Dazhong Criminal Law System" in half a month.
I studied in Kaifeng Mansion during the day, and copied it when I got home at night, practicing my calligraphy by the way.
"Brother Luo!"
While Luo Youdu was chewing on the "Dazhong Criminal Code", Yin Yide, who was also a legal officer with him, suddenly came nearby.
"Brother Yin!"
Luo Youdu greeted him with a smile.
Yin Yide said warmly: "From now on, you and I are colleagues, and we have to keep in good contact with each other."
Luo Youdu said hurriedly: "That's natural. I happened to get some Nanyue Yunwu tea recently. Brother Yin can come to my humble house to taste it. If you like it, take some back."
Zhao Kuangyin gave him a cartload of heavy gifts, including brocade, silk, inkstone, and ink tea, with various varieties and high prices.
"Nanyue Yunwu Tea? That is a famous tea that the tea sage Lu Yu even praised...Brother Luo actually has such a good thing. As a young brother, I have no shame to visit him. I wonder where Brother Luo lives?"
"If you ask around Yong'an Street, Xuanrenfang, Nancheng, you will know." Luo Youdu stated where he lived.
Yin Yide's face showed a little astonishment. The Central Plains had a serious population loss. The city of Kaifeng was too large, and people gathered around the palace, which inevitably caused the surrounding area to be desolate.
The Imperial Palace is located in the north of Kaifeng City. Naturally, the closer you get to the north of the city, the more prosperous it becomes.
When Luo Youdu opened his mouth and gave him Nanyue Yunwu Tea, he thought he had a rich family, but he didn't expect to live in such a desolate place.
Just stunned for a moment, Yin Yide immediately smiled and said: "Brother Luo, you don't know! Your Majesty is benevolent. Officials of the fifth rank or above in the capital, if they do not have a residence or are too far away from the imperial city, can get a residence. Officials of the eighth rank and above can also
You can apply to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, which will also arrange placement according to the situation."
Luo Youdu's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Is there such a good thing?"
He didn't care whether it was remote or not, what he cared about was that it was too far away from Feng Mansion and it would waste too much time going back and forth every day.
His family is not rich and only has an old donkey to travel around.
Accustomed to the convenience of transportation in later generations, this slow pace made him very uncomfortable.
Yin Yide said: "That's natural. This should be done sooner rather than later. You may not know when the benefits will be cancelled."
Luo Youdu said hurriedly: "That makes sense. Anyway, I have nothing to do today. I will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to handle the matter. Thank you Brother Yin for your advice..."
Kaifeng had suffered from turmoil for a long time, so it was only then that it was treated like this.
As long as the popularity recovers and the population returns, Kaifeng Prefecture's geographical advantage will soon make it impossible to implement this policy.
The land in the north of the city near the imperial city is so big, there are not so many houses to allocate.
Dazhou has been recuperating for three years under Guo Wei's governance.
This policy system probably won't last long.
Only a fool would refuse this kind of well-deserved benefit.
Watching Luo Youdu's retreating figure, Yin Yide smiled strangely, and then went to the government office on the right side of Kaifeng Mansion.
For the convenience of governing, all the imperial agencies of past dynasties were gathered together in one place.
Luo Youdu arrived at the Ministry of Revenue soon and expressed his intention.
The office efficiency in ancient times was similar to that of later generations. It was extremely cumbersome. You had to go through several departments of the Ministry of Revenue and finally you were told to go to the Ministry of Personnel to write a certification report.
For the sake of the house, Luo Youdu also accepted it and transferred to the Ministry of Personnel.
The person responsible for issuing the report and proving the case was Dr. Si Xun.
When I arrived at the office, two people were chatting in the room, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
Luo Youdu did not interrupt immediately, waiting for the opportunity to speak.
Before he could find a chance, one of the tall and thin officials suddenly turned his attention to Luo Youdu and asked, "But Luo Zhengzhi?"
After receiving the reply, the tall and thin official immediately smiled and said: "Brother Wang, I'm here to introduce you. This is the Luo Youdu I just told you about. He single-handedly solved the Yanyu Pavilion incident and is a rising star in our Kaifeng Mansion..."
The official surnamed Wang smiled and praised: "You are indeed very heroic. It's a pity that you follow Lu Bin. Brother Zhang is not envious of you."
Luo Youdu instantly realized the identity of the tall and thin official Zhang Yue of Kaifeng Prefecture.
The Kaifeng Prefecture is headed by Fu Yin, followed by Waiting, and then Judge. The following are Pushing Officer, Fu Yuan, and the six Cao Cao are of equal rank.
Most of the prefects are concurrently held by the crown prince, and now there is no vacancy. The Kaifeng Prefecture is headed by Cui Yan, who is waiting to be replaced, and the second-ranking judge was killed by Guo Rong half a month ago, and there is also a vacancy.
Kaifeng Prefecture has recently been promoted to an official position and has no special achievements. It is unlikely that he will be promoted again in a short time.
Zhang Yue from the Fuyuan and Lu Bin from the Sixth Cao were the best choices.
It is no secret in Kaifeng Mansion that these two people are naturally difficult to deal with.
Nowadays, there is a fierce fight for the position of judge.
Luo Youdu, who was a minor official at the time, also heard about it many times.
Zhang Yue waved his hands as if he didn't want to mention it, and asked Luo Youdu: "Luo Youdu is not on official business in Kaifeng Prefecture. Does he have anything important to do when he comes to the Ministry of Personnel?"
Luo Youdu explained his intention.
The official surnamed Wang frowned and said: "A year ago, this matter would have been handled casually. Now there is a large flow of people around the imperial city, and there are too many officials applying for residences, and the supply exceeds demand. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel are even discussing whether to petition His Majesty to cancel the request.
make."
Before Luo Youdu could speak.
Zhang Yue said: "Brother Wang's words are too outrageous. It's just a discussion and no conclusion has been made yet. A certain person is a close friend of Brother Jiang. He works for Brother Jiang and is kind to me. So for X's sake, I will be accommodating.
two."
The official named Wang hesitated and sighed: "Okay, just for Brother Zhang's sake, I signed this document."
Luo Youdu looked at the two actors and thanked them for a while.
Zhang Yue said enthusiastically: "The procedures in the Household Department are complicated, especially when you are facing someone opposite me. If someone has connections in the Household Department, I will go with the manager."
Since Luo Youdu knew Zhang Yue's identity, he knew that he was here for him and couldn't shirk it. He bowed and said, "So, thank you Zhang Fuyuan."
As for why he knew he would come to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it must have been revealed by Yin Yide.
However, Lu Bin's subordinates reported their whereabouts to their old enemy Zhang Yue. Luo Youdu smiled knowingly. Sure enough, where there are people, there are infighting.
Walking on the road leading to Hubu, Zhang Yue and Luo Youdu chatted incessantly.
When they were approaching the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhang Yue asked casually: "Does Luo know how important criminal law is to the country?"
Luo Youdu had a look on his face, bowed and said, "Please give me some advice from Zhangfuyuan!"
Zhang Yue walked to the pavilion on the street corner and said: "To strengthen a country, you must first strengthen the law. Especially in troubled times, strict law is the first priority of a strong country. I don't know that all the heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period came together, Li Kui's reform, Wu Qi's reform, Zou Ji's reform, and Shen Buhu's reform.
Starting from the rule of law, the country has taken on a new look. However, only Shang Yang can truly achieve the ultimate. Of course, Qin's law is harsh and cannot be imitated. But only by using severe punishment can we deter the ugly people."
Luo Youdu clasped his hands together and praised: "What Zhang Fuyuan said is wonderful! The law is governed by the constitution and the government, and punishments must be based on the people's hearts. Rewards are based on careful laws, and punishments are imposed on traitors. Strict laws are not Not for punishment, but for restraint!"
