Chapter 118: Don't work behind closed doors!

If the law is too detailed, it will be difficult to know what kind of crime you have committed and how you will be punished without specific study. It requires a professional to have a general picture.

The reason why I say "generally" is too realistic. There are subjective and non-subjective distinctions between all crimes, and how bad they are. How to impose penalties requires repeated judgments, plus the quibbles... the mouth of the person responsible for the distinction.

How powerful is he, or what kind of judge did he meet?

Of course ordinary people can tell what is good or bad, but it differs from the values ​​of each era.

Maybe in the previous era, fighting and killing people was not a big deal, but in the next era, fighting and fighting will immediately be a death sentence. Regarding this, if no accidents occur, the people of Qin in the future will have a deep understanding of this.

Don't think that Zhuxia didn't have the profession of judges. Every country has its own "judges". From a modern understanding, they are the justices of the Supreme Court.

Of course, the judges of various countries are not used to judge ordinary people, but the objects of their judgment are nobles.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, each family had its own family rules. Anyone who committed something would be dealt with according to the family rules. Because the rules set were different, and the punishment for what was committed was inconsistent. It might be a capital crime in that family, but in other cases

It's no big deal if you work in a certain family.

To put it simply, nobles have the power of sentencing and trial, and those they can punish are not outsiders, only those under their own rule.

"Today's laws need to be publicized before they can be enforced. Instead of being hidden and waiting for whoever breaks the law to be brought out for trial, I certainly can't make it more complicated." What Zhiyao said is the current situation.

That's because the law is not used to judge ordinary people, otherwise even if it is made public, ordinary people who are illiterate will not be able to understand it. Therefore, it is used to make it public to the nobles, which is a kind of shock and is also the basis for judging the nobles after they break the law.

Of course not everyone in the Zhi family is literate. After many years of efforts by Zhiyao, there are definitely many more literate people in the Zhi family than in other families.

Mentioning Zhi's literacy rate is not to show off, but purely because Zhiyao planned to send a large group of people to popularize it among ordinary people after writing the civil code. That is to say, they went to various places to read to ordinary people and let ordinary people know about it.

What kind of punishment will you get when you do it?

"Shang Yang imitated Zhao Yang. If I imitate Shang Yang, there will be no one else..." Zhi Yao thought to himself.

In many aspects of his governance of the Zhi family, he imitated the Qin State after the Reform. He followed the Legalist path to cover the livelihood of the people, and the development route was actually the same.

If it is difficult to tell which country was the first to popularize education, the Qin State was indeed the first to carry out the popularization of education in Zhuxia. The method was to open lectures on a grand scale and teach the laws of the Qin State.

The Qin State is very serious in its rule of law. If you want to have an official position in the Qin State, you must understand the laws of the Qin State. The state also trains a large number of petty officials who are familiar with the laws every year to fill the local areas to facilitate the control of various places.

"If I want to write a folk code, I must also cultivate a large number of people who are familiar with the law, and then let them spread the law to the common people. Otherwise, writing the folk code will be just for my own entertainment." Zhiyao said that he started to have fun.

action.

Of course, it does not operate like the "Three Chapters of the Covenant". This is the need under the special background of the times. Moreover, the "Three Chapters of the Covenant" is not just as simple as "Those who kill must die, and those who injure others and those who steal should not be punished." In fact, it includes many laws.

Later, Zhiyao found a large number of people who were doing civil affairs work at the grassroots level, mainly asking them about Li Shu's needs.

That's how things are done. You can't just do whatever you think. Especially things like formulating laws shouldn't be done behind closed doors.

Zhiyao's understanding of local laws in his "previous life" was limited, and in his "this life" he was born with a golden key in his mouth. From then on, he was unable to have a personal understanding of Li Shu's needs.

After having a general understanding, Zhiyao found Zigong, Ran You and other "Confucian scholars" to discuss some regulations on "rituals".

"What the prince has decided is not 'propriety'?" Zigong understood what Zhiyao wanted to do, and his face was full of surprise.

Ran You didn't look interested at all and asked: "Gongsun Chengzi, Fan Xianzi's move?"

Gongsun's success as a son is his son's inheritance.

Fan Xianzi was a scholar.

Both men were engaged in formulating laws. The former built a bronze punishment cauldron, and the latter opened the way for Zhao Yang and Shi Ji to build an iron punishment cauldron.

Zhiyao pretended not to understand and said, "Why is it inappropriate?"

In the eyes of some "Confucianists", it is not only inappropriate, it is completely inappropriate!

Zigong and Ran You looked at each other.

If in the past, because of the circle of people they were in contact with and because they had never been involved in civil management, they might have said something like "How can 'ritual' deal with Li Shu?"

Now? They have been in Zhishi for so long and have been responsible for many local inspections. They have a general understanding of what Zhiyao wants to do, but they really can't say anything similar.

Zhiyao has a headache!

Looking for "Confucianism" to understand can get some reference on "etiquette". After knowing what I want to do, I was rejected.

Zigong thought about it again and again, and said: "'Ritual' is the foundation of a country."

Zhiyao understands, really!

"Of course I know that the law is a tool used by the ruling class to facilitate their rule. What is needed is what kind of person the ruler wants Li Shu to become, not what Li Shu wants the country to be... What is the Zhi family like? Really follow Li Shu's rules

Wouldn't it be foolish to try to formulate laws?" Zhiyao felt very tired after talking to everyone.

The reason why we need to understand "ritual" is that "ritual" is actually a system that restrains people.

Ji Zhou implemented the patriarchal system, which refers to enfeoffment; he also governed the country with "rituals", in which "rituals" were not only red tape, but also included corresponding punishments.

Therefore, "Li" is actually Ji Zhou's law, a law specifically used to govern the nobility.

As for the view that laws serve rulers, this was the starting point for the formulation of laws in the feudal dynasty.

It may sound very unpleasant to say that the country cannot be governed according to the people's ideas, but in reality it is extremely practical.

Everyone hopes that they can get benefits, and at the same time they are also trying to avoid risks. Is it okay to formulate a plan where the country gives everyone 100 million in benefits every month? That will definitely work, and then either the currency will depreciate to the point where it is not decent, or the country will immediately go bankrupt.

.

There is another saying, wisdom is always in the hands of a few people, and ordinary people are indeed inferior to more professional people in terms of running the country.

Zhiyao needs to understand Li Shu's thoughts. His starting point is very professional. What level of goals the ruler wants to achieve, and then integrating the needs of ordinary people into it can avoid serious disconnection to a large extent. And this is a bit "

The law is nothing more than human feelings."

"Nowadays, Li Shu is not 'min'. 'Min' currently refers to the class above 'scholar'. In ancient times, it specifically refers to people with 'family name'. Later, it was the turn of the nobles and aristocratic families to be 'min'. Even more

Later, the gentry is the 'people'." Zhiyao chatted with the 'ru' and learned that the 'shi' is the 'people' and the 'shi' is the 'people'.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were no aristocratic families or aristocratic families, and they were generally divided into ladders such as monarchs, nobles, scholars, concubines, and slaves.

Does the civil code that Zhiyao wants to formulate have a special target audience? He hopes to include all groups, but realistically this is not possible at this stage.

Now is an era in the true sense that "the punishment cannot be extended to the officials, and the courtesy cannot be extended to the common people", and the "officials" are the real aristocracy; "rituals" are used to control the nobles, and the common people do not have that kind of treatment.

When Zhi Gong and Ran were sent away, Zhi Yao looked at their backs and thought: "No wonder later generations of Confucianism dared to do that, a bit like using chicken feathers as arrows."

In the future, it will be important that the law cannot be known by others. I don’t know whether it is because I am afraid of being taken advantage of, or because I feel that my own is the human being, and other living beings are just two-legged animals.

Of course, with the word "herdsmen", it's easy to imagine.

Zhiyao has been in bed for nearly two months and ushered in another winter.

He later figured out one thing. Part of the military regulations could be applied to the civil code, and the speed of writing the civil code was greatly accelerated.

I don’t know what the situation was. It might be that the work was done, or the civil affairs were leaked, and one after another Confucius’ disciples came to Zhiyao to say goodbye.

"It's a small amount of money, be sure to accept it." What Zhiyao gave out was some sword coins.

The season has come to winter, and seeing that it will snow soon, Zhiyao very humanely prepared relevant necessities for those who were saying goodbye.

Giving away a car or something? Even if the Zhi family has a big business, it is really not something they can afford.

You may want to say goodbye, but there are more than 2,000 people. Each person has to send a car, and each car has at least one horse to pull it. Even if the family has a mine, they can’t afford it!

"This farewell is not for the crown prince, but for my disciple Kong to enter Cai. Nan is also done, so..." Seeing Zhiyao's sad face, Sinan specially explained.

So, it wasn’t because Zhiyao was writing folk classics that they, as “Confucians”, were disgusted, it was simply because Confucius was short of horses?

It seems so? Those who came to say goodbye had all finished what they were doing, and none of the other people who had not finished their work came.

Zhiyao once again understood the influence Confucius had on these people.

What is worthy of scrutiny is, who brought the news that Confucius went to Cai Guo? Did the news come inadvertently, or was Confucius deliberately summoning Ma Zai???

In addition, if Zhiyao remembers correctly, the Cai people have been moved further south by the Chu State, right?

What Zhiyao didn't know was that Confucius was invited by Ye Gong.

Who is Mr. Ye? He is the Mr. Ye who "loves dragons". His surname is Ji, surnamed Shen, his given name is Zhuliang, his courtesy name is Zi Gao, and he is currently Zuo Sima of Chu State.

Later, I learned that a group of "Confucianists" were going south to enter the Chu Kingdom, and asked to apologize to Zixi on his behalf.

This Zixi is the current Ling Yin of Chu State. He urged me to return to Chu State many times.

I am very busy at Zhishi. I can participate in various matters and witness the rapid changes in "Handan". I can also go to the place where books are printed from time to time. My life is not too beautiful!

"How can I be selfless after hearing the works of the Crown Prince?" I felt that Zhiyao looked down upon his own rule of inaction and did not understand how subtle the rules involved were.

Zhiyao: "..."
