"Jiaoyu? Why did Jiaoyu come forward to respond to this kind of thing? Where is their county magistrate?"
Faced with Gao Pingshi's question, Liang Wu immediately smiled and praised: "Xiandi is indeed very smart. This question is a hit to the point!"
Gao pragmatically smiled and didn't reply. He thought that Gao was also a top secretary in the county. He was actually responsible for most of the official affairs of the county committee. Most of the time, the old secretary (secretary) was just in charge of the general affairs and taking pictures.
Boss, if he didn't have the ability to "clear things up and focus on the key points", wouldn't he have been replaced a long time ago?
It's just that in this life, after all, he has never personally gone to a government office at the county government level. He doesn't know how different it is from later generations, so he can only ask about this level.
After Liang Wu praised it, he immediately replied: "The reason why Jixi County's petition was responded to by Jiaoyu is actually a reflection of Jixi County's attitude towards the matter: What they mean is that this so-called Huizhou
The human ding silk case itself is not a legal issue, but a moral issue."
Gao Pragmatic was a bit confused by this sentence. He frowned and said, "Tax burden sharing is a moral issue? Why do you say this?"
"Tax burden sharing itself cannot be a moral issue. Jixi County has something else to say." Liang Wu waved to the master standing next to him, and then continued to Gao Pragmatic: "Brother Xian, brother Fool, here is the article about Jixi County.
Shen Wen, you will definitely understand after reading it."
Master Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and handed Gao Yingshi an article. Gao Yingshi took it and looked at it carefully, and found that this scholar was indeed a scholar. Although compared with Shuai Jiamo's original heroic article, his article was less informative.
Not much, but the sword and pen have a hidden edge, which can be regarded as quite skillful.
At the beginning of the article, Yang Jiaoyu also shouted a political slogan, which shows that the political consciousness of people who can thrive in the officialdom is not too low - "In order to show kindness, obey the national code and according to the government's annals, all gifts will be given to save those who are biased.
Su is in trouble."
After the slogan was shouted, the style of the painting suddenly changed. First, he scolded Shuai Jiamo for "disrupting the country's system and abusing his superiors and subordinates." He was really a shameless litigator who "pretended public affairs and used private interests."
The prime minister is unruly.
After scolding for a long time, Yang Jiaoyu finally came to the topic. First of all, he admitted Shuai Jiamo's discovery that today's "Ren Ding Silk Silk" is indeed the "Summer Tax Raw Silk" in the early Republic of China. However, he also explained,
According to the records of the government, the imperial court discovered that She County owed Xia Mai 9,700 shi, and ordered them to pay the summer tax of raw silk, a total of 8,780 shi to the Nanjing shipping warehouse. So the root cause of this matter is
It was caused by She County's own mistakes and had nothing to do with other counties.
Then he added that this tax had been paid for more than 170 years, and no one had ever protested. It was not until the 14th year of Jiajing that two unruly people from She County, Cheng Peng and Wang Xiang, went to file a complaint against them. The then prefect of Huizhou, Feng
Shiyong presided over an investigation, and even went to the inspection court to check the edition, and concluded that the "Ren Ding Silk Silk" should be handed over to Shexian County alone. So for more than 30 years, everything was calm and everyone was in peace. Who knew that something would happen again now?
There is a litigant, Shuai Jiamo, who ignores the wise decision of his superiors and insists on causing trouble.
Gao Pangshi majored in law in college, so when he saw this, his first reaction was: If the Ming Dynasty implemented case law, then this case could indeed be finalized according to the judgment of Feng Shiyong, the former Huizhou magistrate.
How the tongue blooms like a lotus flower is also versatile.
But the problem is that although China's past dynasties were fundamentally about individuals governing society, from a legal perspective, statutory law was always implemented, not case law.
The so-called case law refers to the legal system implemented in the United Kingdom and the United States in later generations. Judges can decide cases based on the judgments of previous judges on the same or similar cases.
Statutory law, also known as civil law system, Chinese law system, etc., such as France and China, is one of the representatives. The characteristic is that no matter what the case, as a judge, you must pick out the items according to the laws and regulations being implemented and correspond them one by one. What should I do?
Whatever the case is, the previous cases have nothing to do with the case at hand. You can only judge the case according to the current laws and regulations.
In 536 BC, Zheng Guo's ruling son "cast a punishment book on a tripod and made it the standing law of the country." This was the first official promulgation of statutory law in Chinese history. It had been more than 2,000 years since the fourth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, although Yang Jiaoyu's article is good, Gao Pragmatic believes that it is untenable from a theoretical point of view.
Because Gao Jingshi and Gao Gong had discussed this matter in detail before, he remembered that Shuai Jiamo had calculated it very clearly at that time. According to the conversion rate during the Longqing period, 8,780 pieces of raw silk were converted into 20,480 pieces of wheat.
Ten shi does not match the 9,700 shi owed by She County at all. Even based on the discount rate during the Hongwu period, it is impossible to be that much different.
It can be seen that although Yang Jiaoyu is good in knowledge, he is still a liberal arts student, and I am afraid that he does not understand this numerical account.
But this doesn't matter, because although the ability of liberal arts students to settle accounts is questionable, their ability to sensationalize is unquestionable.
Yang Jiaoyu said emotionally in the article: "Our Jixi is a lower county, with a radius of only 24 miles. The land is barren and the people are poor. The annual grain of grain is less than 700 shi; their She County has a radius of 220 li.
In Sili, a small amount of grain can earn more than 60,000 dan per year. With such a huge gap, there are still ungrateful people like Shuai Jiamo who want to pass on the burden of the upper county to the lower county! Is there any justice?"
It was not too late. After he finished crying, he added a "suggestion" with a special meaning, saying, "Let's accept it as usual, so that the common people can avoid the worry of radical changes for the common people, and it will be convenient for the officials and the people."
When Gao Pragmatic saw this, he suddenly understood: It turns out that Yang Jiaoyu's previous words can actually be regarded as nonsense, but the real literary talent lies here.
Although this sentence seems humble, it actually carries a vague threat. As long as you read it backwards, the meaning is very clear: If you don't tax taxes as they are, it will inevitably cause a civil uprising. At that time, both the government and the people will be divided.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
You must know that although this threat came from the Jixi representative, it was actually the consensus of the five counties. In other words, if this matter does not have a satisfactory result in the end, the entire Huizhou Prefecture will be in chaos.
Next year will be the year of pilgrimage inspection. Magistrate Duan, please make your own decisions.
Gao pragmatic stretched out his fingers and flicked the manuscript paper in his hand, half-squinted his eyes and said: "Senior brother Liang, this Yang Jiaoyu... is well aware of the true meaning of officialdom, and he used the method of threatening Shangguan with civil uprising very smoothly.
Well." He said, without waiting for Liang Wu to speak, and said to himself: "I guess after reading this application, the Huizhou government must have understood it and there is nothing more to say?"
Liang Wu was taken aback. He looked at Gao Pragmatic as if he were a monster. Then he subconsciously glanced at Master Zhang next to him. Then he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a dry voice: "Master Gao, you... you really have a sharp eye."
Well, this scared me so much that even my virtuous brother didn’t dare to call me.
