"Okay, let me talk about the situation of the Law Department." Lin Chong stood up, nodded to everyone, and said.
He talked about the situation of the Law Department! The Law Department is completely different from the Military Department and the Economic Department. The Military Department and the Economic Department already had a deep foundation before they were established. Hua Rong and Li Gang have a large number of people who handle military and civil matters.
Elites exist, but the Ministry of Law does not have any foundation. It can be said that the Ministry of Law is completely new! Since this time, the Ministry of Law has only had a preliminary organizational structure!
Now the Ministry of Law has been divided into two parts. One part is responsible for formulating laws and hearing cases, and Lin Chong is responsible for it. The other part is responsible for monitoring the situation in various places and collecting evidence for cases. Dai Zong is responsible for this part! These two parts are equivalent to those of later generations.
The Supreme Court and the Supreme Procuratorate separate the rights of trial and investigation, which is more conducive to justice.
As for Dai Zong, he was originally the deputy director of the Intelligence Division of the Northern Military Ministry. Since the establishment of the Law Department, Wu Dong transferred him to the Law Department as deputy minister! Dai Zong has handled intelligence work for many years and is very experienced in investigation and evidence collection! Add
Shang Dai Zong also likes this kind of dark job. He seems to be very talented in this area. When he was in the Intelligence Department, he often secretly investigated the officials' information and reported it to Hua Rong and Wu Dong. Now, Wu Dong naturally
His talent cannot be wasted.
"This year the Ministry of Law is mainly about organizational establishment. In addition to the headquarters of the Ministry of Law, we also send people to various places, or transfer talents from various places to come to the headquarters! Courts in various places will not be managed by the local government in the future, but only by the law.
Managed by the Ministry of Justice! Courts in various places can supervise the government and even try local officials." Lin Chong said.
"Very good!" Wu Dong nodded.
China has never implemented "judicial independence" from ancient times to the present. In ancient times, county magistrates governed local areas and reviewed cases at the same time, and the same was true for prefects above the county magistrate. Even in later generations, in the era when Wu Dong traveled through, there were nominally independent "courts"
", "Procuratorate", but in fact, courts and procuratorates must obey local leadership! At this time, Wu Dong made the judiciary completely independent. The Ministry of Law has independent judicial power, and local governments are not allowed to interfere!
Hua Rong, Li Gang and others all agree with this matter. They all believe that this is a shortcut to achieve political clarity! In all dynasties, corruption has been rampant. An important reason is that the judiciary is not independent, and officials from various places serve as athletes.
They also serve as referees, so they naturally run wild and no one can control them! The so-called law was just a decoration in many dynasties!
"What are your plans for next year?" Wu Dong said.
"Next year, the main focus will be on the construction of local courts and supervisory departments! Next year we will establish provincial courts and supervisory departments in each province. After that, the central government will manage the provinces, and the provinces will manage each state and county! From the central to local governments, courts at all levels, supervision
All departments must study the law carefully, and we must conduct law exams to eliminate a group of unqualified officials! Also, next year, we have decided to transform the pioneering "new military law" into civil law and strive to formulate a real civil law.
, let civil law gradually separate from military law." Lin Chong said.
"Grand Governor, our Liangshan is a military state! The entire country from top to bottom, including every citizen, is a member of the 'army'! Only in this way can we unite as one and conquer more places! Now we are rashly introducing the 'New Military Law'
If it is changed to civil law, I am afraid it will affect our fundamental national policy." Hua Rong suddenly said after hearing this.
Now there is no real civil law in Liangshan, but the "New Military Law" has been adapted from the military law to govern the people! Now, the Ministry of Law is going to make changes to the "New Military Law".
"I think the military national policy needs to be changed! We are going to war now, but the war will end sooner or later! We can't be a military state forever, don't you think? If we continue to implement a military state, I'm afraid Liangshan will repeat the mistakes of the Qin Dynasty!" Li Gang
He spoke suddenly.
In fact, he had wanted to say this for a long time, and now he finally had the chance to say it!
He believed that Liangshan could not always use soldiers and rule the country by military law! Soldiers and rule by military law would end up like the Qin Dynasty. The army's combat effectiveness was unmatched, but the country would not last long!
He feels that the entire country needs a broader political environment. Only in this way can the vitality of the people be brought out and the economy, technology, and culture develop more rapidly.
Of course, many military-state spirits still need to be sustained, such as love for the country, love for the nation, the spirit of martial arts, the spirit of law, etc.! But the military-state system must be changed, and the country must not be allowed to slowly become rigid!
Hua Rong and Li Gang started to debate there! Hua Rong believed that the military system was the best way to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army and national cohesion, but Li Gang believed that the military system restricted the thinking of the people and would limit the development of the country in the future.
"You go down and think about this matter carefully, and then vote on it later! Today is the end of the year, and we are mainly summarizing last year's work! Let's continue." Wu Dong interrupted the debate between the two people and said.
It would be rash and inappropriate to vote and make a decision now on a major issue like the military system that is related to the country's fundamental national policy without careful thought, research, and discussion! Besides, even if such a fundamental policy needs to be changed,
It also needs a slow transition, and it will take a long time to change. This is a huge project.
"Grand Governor, I have something important to report!" At this moment, Dai Zong, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Law, stood up and said.
"What's going on?" Wu Dong said.
"Grand Governor, although the Law Department has only been established for a few months, we have already investigated and dealt with 180 major cases! Among them, 96 cases involved official corruption, 3 of which occurred in Goryeo, and 2 in
Yanyun, the remaining 91 incidents all occurred in Hedong Province!" Dai Zongdao.
"Oh!" Wu Dong was stunned.
Several military ministers started talking one after another! Lin Chong frowned, and so did Zhu Wu! Although the two of them had left Hedong, Hedong had been under their rule for many years, and now that there were so many corruption cases in Hedong, they felt embarrassed.
There is no light above.
"These 91 corruption cases involve more than 150 Hedong officials! More than 50 of them are officials promoted by Hedong in previous years, and 100 are officials personally appointed by Hu Yanzhuo since he became the governor of Hedong Province.
! Most of these more than 100 officials are his cronies, people he brought from the Song Army when he first took refuge in Liangshan!" Dai Zongdao.
"Go to the Law Department and get the relevant files!" Wu Dong said calmly with a pale face.
At that moment, Dai Zong went to get the file, but the room was completely silent. Everyone knew that this was a big event, and everyone began to think about it.
A quarter of an hour later, Dai Zong strode back and placed the file in front of Wu Dong.
Wu Dong read it first. He read one copy and gave it to Hua Rong, then Li Gang, then Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and others.
"Grand Governor, Hu Yanzhuo is corrupt and incompetent because he appoints private individuals! And...he himself is also involved in corruption!" The room was still silent. At this moment, Dai Zong gritted his teeth and spoke again.
"Say!" Wu Dong took a deep breath and said.
"Last year, more than 2 million taels of silver were spent on repairing the Yellow River in Hedong, of which 100,000 taels were intercepted by Hu Yanzhuo! I have been investigating these days, and I found that all the 100,000 taels of silver were used by him to build courtyards! Hu Yanzhuo
Many of my subordinates are doing all kinds of evil! Wang Qiang, the governor of Puzhou, has just taken office. He has been here for only a few months.
He actually raped dozens of civilian girls during his time! And Li Yu, an official from Fenyang, who clearly knew about Liangshan’s land policy, actually snatched land from farmers! These people ignored the law, and after I investigated it, I reported it to
Mr. Lin, I hope Mr. Lin will handle it! But Mr. Lin didn’t handle anything!" Dai Zongdao.
"Brother, is this a problem?" Wu Dong looked at Lin Chong and said.
"Yes, but I think we should investigate carefully, conduct more investigations, and wait until it is confirmed before making a decision." Lin Chong had sweat dripping from his face.
He does know about this matter, but he has been in Hedong for many years and has a good relationship with the officials in Hedong! Especially Hu Yanzhuo, he almost treats him as a brother. Even if Hu Yanzhuo is really proven to be corrupt, he will have difficulty in dealing with Hu Yanzhuo...
He originally thought that as a minister of the Ministry of Law, he would suppress this matter first and find a way to solve it later, but he did not expect that Dai Zong would expose this matter.
Dai Zong had no expression on his face at this moment, but he was ecstatic in his heart. He knew that Wu Dong hated corruption. There were so many corruption cases happening in Hedong, but Lin Chong didn't deal with it. Wu Dong would definitely deal with Lin Chong, and he might be able to
Become a minister of the Ministry of Law.
Wu Dong looked at Lin Chong and Zhu Wu and frowned. Both of them came from Hedong. Under the governance of these two people, Hedong did not seem to be developing very well. On the surface, Hedong was still full of vitality, but in fact it had
There are signs of decay. The two of them and many officials in Hedong are not much different from the officials of the old era.
Wu Dong now even doubted whether it was right or wrong to let Lin Chong serve as the minister of the Ministry of Law?
Lin Chong is soft-hearted! Working in the Law Department is really a bit...
"Tell me, how should we deal with the situation in Hedong?" Wu Dong said.
