When Ding Yunyi and his men heard this, they had already vaguely guessed the outcome.
Sure enough, Xie Tian's following words confirmed their judgment:
"Kong Dexing has the support of Confucius and Mencius, and the prefect Guan Zhe and others are definitely not his opponents. After Jia Xiaowei arrived in Fujian, he first found Sister Xia, and then confessed to her and slandered her. Sister Xia was originally a
How can a woman who covets wealth and honor refuse to agree? So she made up a false confession according to Jia Xiaowei's wishes, and refused to recognize Zhao as her mother or Jiang Cheng as her brother.
...This is unreasonable." Cai Jiuzhou was very dissatisfied after hearing this: "How can there be such a truth in the world, and even the biological mother refuses to recognize it?"
"That's what I say, but after all, Captain Jia is a man of Confucius and Mencius...Chapter 405: The Prelude to the Industrial Revolution."
Defending Kong Dexing, Sister Xia and others, the lawsuit went all the way to Zhang Kentang and Zhang Fushuai. If Zhang Fushuai is a good and honest official, he could see at a glance that there was something fishy about this case.
He was determined not to reopen the case according to Jia Xiaowei's wishes, and he was not sure about the guilt of Guan Zhe and Ou Jue... Zhang Xianxuan was greatly surprised after hearing this: "What crime did Guan Zhe and Ou Jue have?"
Xie Tian smiled bitterly: "Of course they are not guilty. They were doing things according to the Ming Law. But the problem is that if the higher-ups want to convict you, the innocent will become guilty... Zhang
Fu Shuai persisted for a long time, but later, he didn't know why his attitude suddenly changed, so he re-examined the case according to Jia Xiaowei's wishes... and the result... ugh
...Xie Tian gave a rare sigh: "I guess you all have already guessed that Sister Xia refused to admit that Zhao and Jiang Cheng were her relatives, so the two adults, Guan Zhe and Ou Jue, were
He was convicted of the crime of making unclear decisions and disregarding human life... Jia Xiaowei first imprisoned Zhao and Jiang Cheng for false accusations and wounding, and then he galloped to the capital to arrest the so-called 400th
Chapter 5: The Prelude to the Industrial Revolution. The results of the interrogation were handed over to Confucius and Mengqing. Kong and Mengqing tried every means to let the emperor know about it, adding fuel to the fire and slandering him. The emperor was furious. He actually... went so far as to kill Guan Zhe and Ou Jue.
, Zhao, Jiang Cheng were all sentenced to death... Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Forget about Zhao and Jiang Cheng, the prefect Guan Zhe and Tongzhi Ou Jue were both local officials, but they actually lost their lives in vain because they decided the case impartially?
Ding Yunyi was silent for a while: "Can Guan Zhe and Ou Jue be executed now?"
"Not yet..." Xie Tian shook his head: "But I'm afraid it will be soon... In fact, Guan Zhe and Ou Jue still made mistakes." Ding Yunyi's words once again shocked his subordinates.
Surprised, everyone looked at him, and Ding Yunyi said slowly:
"However, it is not entirely their fault... Yuan Gui forced Liang to sing and insulted the government, which could lead to death! Why didn't Guan Zhe follow the "Ming Dynasty Law" and order him to have a hundred backbones and exile him for three thousand miles?
Or even if you don't do this, you can use another more appropriate method to get Yuan Gui to confess his crimes... My "Da Ming Code" clearly writes the crimes of people like Yuan Gui there.
Then, after all, the "Da Ming Law" is not done carefully enough... The general town has shut down." Qin Yun said hurriedly: "If this word gets out, I'm afraid there will be another uproar."
Ding Yunyi smiled coldly: "These are all my brothers, am I still afraid that some of you will betray me? My officials at all levels strictly abide by the "Da Ming Law", which is not wrong in the first place, but the "Da Ming Law" is still used today.
There are many omissions in it. Why is there not a more strict and prudent law? Yuan Gui did evil and was scolded in court. He died of anger when he returned. He deserved his death, but what about other people? The prefect can sentence people to death. The county
The master can also punish criminals and sentence people to death at will. After all, the law is not formulated carefully enough... He is not thinking in leaps and bounds. In fact, a long time ago, he had already considered formulating a more suitable law.
Taiwan and Penghu have also developed more advanced laws.
Taipei and Penghu developed rapidly, and many parts of the existing "Ming Dynasty Laws" no longer apply to Taipei and Penghu. However, Ding Yunyi did not have the right to modify and formulate the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
However, Ding Yunyi has an ambitious plan in mind:
Prepare in advance for the era of industrial revolution!
Taiwan and Penghu already have such a foundation!
The arrival of the Age of Discovery will deepen the ties between Taipei and Penghu and the Western countries; and a large number of mulberry farmers, weavers, shipwrights and other technical personnel will enter Taiwan and Penghu, which will inevitably promote the introduction of new technologies and machines.
Appear.
Encouraging such new technologies and new machines is what Ding Yunyi wants to do, and on this basis, a more advanced and complete law will be the guarantee for all this.
In the Taiwan-Penghu land under the leadership of Ding Yunyi, the enclosure movement did not have a deep impact on it. The income from the colonies and navigation trade also provided the necessary funds. Then, it was time to prepare the territory under its jurisdiction for entering a new revolutionary era.
Get ready...
New laws, new laws...
Ding Yunyi put away his thoughts: "Thank God... As soon as he said these words, Ding Yunyi suddenly had an idea, and a bold plan emerged in his mind. Is this the best opportunity to deal with the enemy?
?
Seeing that the commander wanted to speak, he suddenly fell silent again. None of his subordinates dared to disturb him and they all looked at him silently.
After a long time, Ding Yunyi waved his hand: "We can't control these things, you all go down first... Ah, by the way, Xie Tian and Qin Yun will stay for now... Wait until those subordinates leave, thank you
Tian slowly said: "Is the town planning to use this matter to deal with Zheng Zhilong?"
Ding Yunyi was shocked. He had exactly this idea, but Xie Tian actually knew it?
"If the main town wants to do it, it must do it cleanly..." Xie Tian said calmly: "No traces can be left...if any flaws are revealed, it will be a big disaster for us.
The end is coming... Ding Yunyi stared at him: "How did you guess that?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I already thought of it from the beginning..." Xie Tian seemed to think it was nothing: "Jiang Fu originally lied to his wife that Sister Xia was betrothed to Zheng Zhilong's family.
Hong, my subordinates also checked. There is indeed Zheng Hong in the Zheng family, who is Zheng Zhilong’s distant nephew. He already has a main wife, but has never given birth. Therefore, he has long wanted to marry the younger one, Jiang Fu.
It is true that someone went to get married, but the Jiang family's status was low. Zheng Zhilong didn't like it, so Zheng Hong had no choice but to do it... At the moment, this provides us with an excellent opportunity...
Ding Yunyi smiled. He truly smiled. This was exactly what he was thinking of.
It seemed that the Zheng family had nothing to do with this case, but he took advantage of this opportunity to completely drag the Zheng family into trouble...
Sooner or later, he will have to deal with the Zheng family. Although the conditions in all aspects are not mature yet, God has sent such a good opportunity to him.
Once it succeeds, it will be equivalent to bringing forward the decisive battle between myself and the Zheng family...
Ding Yunyi admired Xie Tianda in his heart, but his expression remained silent: "How are you going to proceed?"
"I already have some ideas..." Xie Tian still had the same indifferent expression: "But please lend me a person from the mayor."
"Who?" Ding Yunyi asked curiously.
"Gongsun Yue!"
Ding Yunyi was startled, what did Xie Tian want this toady to do? But Xie Tian was careful and meticulous in his work, and he thought he had his own ideas. He pondered for a while and nodded: "I will lend Gongsun Yue to you, if you need it
Anyone can be called directly, and there is no need to report everything to me. Also, this matter is of great importance. There can be no omissions, just in case...if someone is not strict and leaks, all I can do is...
It will kill them." Xie Tian said calmly: "I will definitely not drag the town into it."
Ding Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you know this, it's the best. It's better to hurry than to slow down at this time, so you should hurry up and do it...Yes." Xie Tian said and stood up to leave.
Looking at his back, Qin Yun frowned. Now that there was no one else around, he changed his title: "Third brother, Xie Tian is really ruthless and ruthless, killing without blinking an eye!"
"But right now this kind of person is exactly what I need..." Ding Yunyi said nonchalantly: "We need to move forward. On the way forward, we need people like this to eradicate all dissidents for us...
Fourth child, I’m still saying the same thing, the stakes in this matter are really too great, if things are not kept secret and leaked, your life and mine will be in danger.”
Qin Yun nodded silently.
In fact, he didn't quite understand the true thoughts of the third brother, but he knew that everything the third brother did was right. All he had to do was to try his best to assist the third brother and help him accomplish the goal in his heart that no one could guess.
It’s just a dream that can’t be achieved...
But why did the third brother leave him alone?
"The situation in the world is ever-changing..." Ding Yunyi's words quickly helped him solve the mystery in his heart: "If you don't advance, you will retreat. This is an eternal truth, and we should prepare for some things in advance.
.....The first point is what I just said, to establish a new and more complete set of laws. We must carefully search for talents in this field, spend a lot of money to invite them to Taiwan, and then organize them to compile them.
The laws I thought of will be handed over to me for personal review and finalization. I think this matter can be left to Xu Yuqing... Qin Yun agreed: "But at present, such laws can only be implemented in Taiwan and Penghu."
It's applicable, but I'm afraid it won't work if we go out... Yes, currently it can only be used within the scope of our power..." Ding Yunyi sighed, somewhat helpless: "But one day, this
Sooner or later, more advanced and stricter laws will be popularized throughout the Ming Dynasty. Fourth child, do you believe it or not?"
"I believe it!" Qin Yun answered without any hesitation. He has a natural confidence in his third brother. He firmly believes that what the third brother does will not be wrong... In terms of law, we are
The first point to be done, the second point is even more important." Ding Yunyi mused: "Before the conquest of the Satsuma Domain, I have sent a large number of people to look for talents in various fields. Some of these talents look like
The ideas are ridiculous, and some of them are like daydreaming, but I believe in their talents... Old Fourth, I’m telling you something, but I don’t know if you believe it or not. I believe it.
Soon there will be a textile machine that is more efficient and can spin ten times or twenty times faster than the current one... I know this." Qin Yun said without thinking: "Those who migrated from the Central Plains
Weavers in the country are already renovating textile machines. For example, there is a woman named Li Sanniang. The textile machine she modified is more than twice as fast as others... Oh?" Ding Yunyi heard this.
Then he was very curious: "Li Sanniang? When will you call her and let me see this person and the textile machine she modified...Jenny machine, Jenny machine...what?" Qin Yun did not hear clearly.
: "What is the treasure machine that Third Brother is talking about?"
Ding Yunyi smiled. He knew that his brother misunderstood "Jenny machine" as "Jane machine" and did not correct him: "Yes, treasure machine. If one day there is a textile machine that is much faster than the current one, then I will
I think I might as well call it 'Jumbo Machine'... Only then did Qin Yun feel relieved.
But he will never know what a "Jenny machine" is and what the advent of this machine means to the world. It was the beginning of a vigorous revolution.
Ding Yunyi always dreamed that this revolution would start from Taipei and Penghu, and he always dreamed that such a revolution could be born in the land of Ming Dynasty in advance.
If you follow your own ideas, there will be something, there will definitely be something... There is also a new type of machine called a steam engine." Ding Yunyi said in a daze: "The emergence of this kind of machine will bring about a complete revolution.
Let our lives enter a new era. Lao Si, this time the expedition fleet goes to sea again, I have asked them to look for such talents in the countries of Europe and the West. I hope they can bring back all the talents I need,
Help us complete this revolution and help us stay far ahead of other countries."
Regardless of the outcome, at least an industrial revolution in Taiwan and Penghu has begun!!!!
