County soldiers are not simple soldiers, but local law enforcement officers, so they cannot be a group of illiterate people who cannot read a lot of Chinese characters, nor can they be reading and writing athletes.
They must master certain cultural knowledge, especially legal knowledge.
But at this moment, the Han Dynasty did not have schools and education models to train legal personnel. The inheritance of the law, like the inheritance of Confucianism, also followed the family path.
Several famous families of legal scholars have been passed down for several generations, and then they went to the central government to hold positions such as court captains, Sili school captains, etc., and then promoted their disciples and former officials to engage in legal work.
The main purpose is to cultivate privately and not publicly.
For example, the famous Yingchuan Guo family.
"The county soldiers not only need to deal with bandits and strongmen, but also deal with criminal cases among the people. Murders, robberies, etc. also need to be tried by the county soldiers. As I said, it requires the county soldiers to master a certain amount of knowledge.
legal knowledge.
The Han Dynasty has been talking about the Spring and Autumn Period Judgment since Emperor Wu, but it is similar to what you said. I don't really agree with this. The law is the law. It is inappropriate to use the stories of the ancients to influence the law.
, I don’t agree.
Therefore, I decided to set up a law school to train military soldiers and make every military soldier familiar with the relevant provisions of the Han Code. By the way, Bonin, didn’t I give you the Han Code to study before?
?In these days, you will compile a regulations and use it as a teaching material for training county soldiers."
"This...junhou, is this really true?"
Manchong looked at Liu Bei with excitement: "Will this cause dissatisfaction among some people? Especially the inheritance family of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period. You... aren't you the leader of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period? You
...don’t have an opinion on this?”
"Of course I am the leader of Zuo's Spring and Autumn period, but I do not approve of the Spring and Autumn period."
Liu Bei shook his head and said slowly: "The law is the law, the Spring and Autumn Period is the Spring and Autumn Period, the times are changing, blindly abide by the behavior of the ancients to do things, use the cases of the ancients to judge the current cases, and do not care about the social background at that time.
It's a big fallacy.
In ancient times, there was no great defense of human relations. Things often happened between parents, brothers and sisters that today's people cannot bear. So can we use the practices of ancient times to judge today's things? Everything is changing, and the Spring and Autumn Period must also change.
Change."
"Do you want to change the law?"
Man Chong was surprised and said: "Junhou, I had doubts in the past, but now I really agree that you really want to do a big business! Being able to get to know you and work for you is such a blessing.
The greatest honor!”
"Ah, this..."
Liu Bei didn't quite understand why Man Chong said he wanted to reform...
But in the final analysis, he really wanted to change the law, but he was not preparing to change the law, but was always changing the law.
Everything he did, including economic operations and the Jiade Hall meeting, were essentially things that needed to be done for the reform, and they could all be summarized in the reform actions. The highest governance ideas of the Han Empire were undergoing subtle changes under his influence.
Variety.
This change is completely different from the original.
Many of the things he has to do now are the result of the accumulation of variables produced by what he has done before. The changes he has made have had some impact on the empire, and these impacts have accumulated over time.
And now, it is time for this accumulation to be enough to push the reform towards the next stage.
Change does not appear all at once, but is a process in which quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
It is obvious that the Han Empire has shown signs of qualitative change today.
So at the next state meeting of the Four Assistant Ministers, Liu Bei once again proposed a new proposal - to establish a legal school in Luoyang to prepare for the training of county and national soldiers. The person in charge of the technical school was Zhongshu Ling Manchong.
, Man Chong was fully responsible for the establishment of the legal school and the formation of the county and national soldiers.
Liu Bei trusted Man Chong, admired Man Chong's ability, and wanted to entrust Man Chong with the responsibility for this matter. However, some minor disputes arose at the State Council of the Four Assistant Ministers about this matter.
Huang Wan still played the standard opposition role. At the State Council meeting, he thought that Liu Bei's repeated troubles had brought too much uncertainty to the Han Empire, and now he was setting up a legal school. Isn't this a bit too much?
Whimsical?
The Han Dynasty regarded Confucianism as its national culture, but now you want to set up a legal school to teach law. This...
Have you considered the opinions of a family like the Guo family that inherits the law?
Liu Bei looked at Sili Colonel Guo Hong, who was silent and closing his eyes.
"Colonel Guo will definitely support this suggestion, right?"
Guo Hong opened his eyes and looked at Liu Bei, and nodded slowly.
"What you are saying is, I think your suggestion is correct. If the county soldiers want to stabilize the place, it is necessary to master some knowledge of the law. Open a law school and let a group of people who are familiar with the law appear in the local area."
The officials are of great benefit to the Han Dynasty and not a single harm. The Guo family is willing to send knowledgeable people from the clan to teach in the government and make some contributions to the Han Dynasty."
Huang Wan was immediately speechless.
He didn't know what Liu Bei did to the Guo family in this matter, allowing the Guo family to contribute and support Liu Bei so much, but he knew that apart from the influence of the Confucian school, the Guo family also had great influence on the Han Empire.
laws have the greatest impact.
When it comes to Confucianism, the Fuyue family is definitely the loudest. When it comes to law, at this stage, the Guo family is definitely the loudest.
The Guo family's biography "Xiao Du Lv" is quite proficient in the laws of the Han Empire. Many members of the family served as officials and presided over the judicial and legal work of the Han Empire, and they had some influence at the central and local levels.
The Confucian gentry has four generations and three princes, and the Guo family, a legal gentry, has also served as court captain for three consecutive generations. If we use the example of the Confucian gentry for comparison, then the Guo family is equivalent to the "three generations and three princes" among the second-rate gentry.
The status is equally high.
And now that the relationship between Guo Hong and Liu Bei is so good, and they cooperate so closely, and they look like a loser, it is obvious that the Guo family will take advantage of the breeze that Liu Bei inspired them to rise...
In fact, in the final analysis, Liu Bei did not make any direct promise to the Guo family. He just summoned Guo Jiapi, a member of the Guo family, as a general, and asked Guo Jia to come to Luoyang to work for him and become his close minister.
Needless to say, in recent days, the officials in the General's Mansion have been uneasy. The reason is that an uninvited guest came to the General's Mansion and met Liu Bei, and they hit it off immediately.
In these days, Liu Bei summoned Guo Jia four times in a row. Each time, he talked with him from afternoon to sunset, then had dinner together, and then talked with him all night long by candlelight.
Liu Bei liked Guo Jia very much, and he became very happy when talking to him, and even wanted to keep him overnight.
He was summoned four times and stayed overnight with Guo Jia twice. He and Guo Jia shared the same bed in his study and slept together. Even when he was sleeping, he kept talking until he fell asleep.
After summoning him four times, Liu Bei appointed Guo Jia as his general and made him a close minister. He always took Guo Jia with him when doing things, and his intimacy was far higher than that of other ministers.
He even sent someone to personally find a suitable courtyard for Guo Jia in Luoyang City, solved his housing problem, and gave him a carriage to solve his transportation problem.
Liu Bei's behavior like this made many people look at him with suspicion and feel a little sour in their hearts.
They didn't receive such special treatment from Liu Bei back then. What on earth did Liu Bei care about about this young man named Guo Jia, and why he even wanted to keep him for meals and overnight?
