Chapter 62: The Adjustment of Qin Law, Kuailiang Comes to the Door
Traditional Legalists emphasize minor crimes and severe punishments, emphasis on agriculture and commerce, and cruel punishments, and absolute high pressure to maintain social stability. This will make social stability in a short period of time, but the side effects of doing so will lead to class intensification.
Although the Qin forces followed the Legalists, they changed many contents, integrating Confucianism, Taoism and merchants, reducing taxes, abolishing discrimination against the industrial and commercial class, reducing the intensity of punishment, abolishing shameful punishment and castration punishment, reducing the scope of corporal punishment and death penalty, turning to imprisonment, increasing legal provisions for rational use of the natural environment, etc., which meant to build the Qin Law into a good law.
(ps: If the foot binding was born in the Southern Song Dynasty, don’t rely on the First Emperor for all the bad things in history, you will always take the blame!)
With the efforts of the Law School, the Qin Law is currently divided into eight chapters: General Provisions, Criminal Chapters, Military Chapters, Civil Chapters, Administrative Chapters, Commercial Chapters, Environment Chapters, and Procedure Chapters, totaling eight chapters.
As the Qin law enforcement agency, the Judicial Department, that is, a special yamen, is not a local chief officer, but a special official. The judicial chief, the local chief officer, and the military officer are the three most important local officials, and are also called the "Three Secretary Envoys".
However, in fact, the Judicial Department relies on the government affairs desk. Considering the current actual situation of the Qin forces and people's weak awareness of law-abiding, the Qin Law must be guaranteed by the administrative power to achieve it. Therefore, judicial organs will not have independent conditions for a long time in the future.
With the rapid development of the laws of Qin forces, it does not mean that the law will become the supreme existence of Qin forces. Qin forces are still a highly centralized system with Ying Jiu as the core.
In the rule of law system, all power comes from the law; in ancient legal society, law comes from the king, all power comes from the king, and law is the tool for the monarch to rule; in the social context of "Civilization", centralization is the system that is most in line with the Qin power.
There is still a long way to go to the development of Qin's power, or the development of a force should never stop. Once it stops, it means that it begins to decline.
……………………
The chief clerk of Jingzhou, Kuai Liang, and Liu Biao, were ordered by his lord to visit Qin Jun to discuss the matter of trading territory.
The Qin power has the greatest reputation outside the world, isn’t everything in Xianyang? It is said that its prosperity is comparable to that of a wealthy state; and before seeing it with one's own eyes, Kuai Liang, including many people who have never been to Xianyang, thought it was nonsense and groundless, and it was impossible.
You should know that Xiangyang, Jingzhou Prefecture, is a third-level county town (if you don’t call him a king, there will be no royal city), while Xianyang is just a first-level county town that has just been upgraded. It is inevitable that Kuai Liang will be despised.
Especially Jingzhou is the most prosperous place in the entire Thirteen Prefectures. Who can be more prosperous than Jingzhou?
However, after seeing Xianyang with his own eyes, Kuai Liang felt that his knowledge was shallow and that the prosperity of Xianyang was indeed no less than that of Xiangyang.
After seeing Yunshang City, Kuai Liang was even more surprised. It turned out that he was watching the sky by himself. As an outstanding strategist and a humble celebrity, Kuai Liang was very good at self-criticism.
———————
Although Kuai Liang came with sincerity, the garrison of a county was not something that he could see just by wanting to see, especially when Ying Jiu was deliberately hanging Kuai Liang, so Kuai Liang was not in a hurry. He was immersed in the Xianyang Academy.
The courses in various academies in Xianyang are conducted publicly. Anyone who wants to listen to the class just walk into the classroom quietly and find a place. Therefore, in addition to the students of the Xianyang Academies, many officials, generals, engineers and people of the Qin forces who contribute enough will come to listen to the class in their spare time to enrich their knowledge.
Kuai Liang himself was a Confucian scholar, so he took the lead in entering the Confucian style college. When he entered a classroom at will, he saw a royal Confucian scholar teaching the "Fa Jing" to the students. It is a collection of works by the Legalists and the first written code in Chinese history.
Kuai Liang:??Isn’t this a Confucian style college? Why are you talking about the Legalists? Did I go wrong?
However, he still listened patiently. The scholars who gave lectures had a wide range of knowledge and combined the essence of Legalism with Confucian classics, which also involved some Taoist content.
Kuai Liang nodded silently: It turned out to be the Xun School, Confucian style, so that's it!
Although he is not the Xun School, what this scholar said has greatly benefited Kuai Liang. After all, only the interweaving of ideas can promote development; however, for himself who is also a royal level, this scholar's class is not worth listening to unless it is discussed in depth with each other.
Kuai Liang walked out of this classroom, and at the same time, other classrooms in the Confucian Academy were also attending classes. Then Kuai Liang saw a "impossible" character.
"Mr. Lu Zhi! How could he appear here?"
In a crowded classroom, Kuai Liang stood at the end of the classroom and looked at the person on the podium in shock.
Lu Zhi also saw Kuai Liang and nodded slightly to him. Kuai Liang also solemnly held the disciple's greeting and bowed deeply to Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi did not stop teaching because of this, but was still teaching slowly. Teacher Lu could describe his lecture in four words, that is, the loud voice and sound. His speaking speed was neither fast nor slow, and every word hit the heart, making people involuntarily immersed in it.
Kuai Liang also listened to the lesson with peace of mind. The lessons taught by Lu Zhi were mixed with many schools, which also played a great role in Kuai Liang. After all, as a strategist, what he needed was extensive knowledge accumulation.
…………
Ten days later, it was not until Jingzhou sent a letter to urge Kuai Liang that Kuai Liang stopped studying in the Xianyang Academy. Since entering the Xianyang Academy, Kuai Liang has been immersed in it and has been studying in various colleges.
Regarding these ten days of experience, Kuai Liang finally sighed: "Those who get the Xianyang Academy can win the world, but Jingzhou can't be left behind."
Liu Biao's number one enemy, Sun Jian, has already taken the lead. For example, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, and Jiaozhou major forces have sent people to study at Xianyang Academy. Jingzhou can no longer be left behind!
Kuai Liang immediately replied to Liu Biao, specifically talking about Xianyang Academy.
There is a passage in it that comments: "A mediocre person can become a talent when he enters the palace; a rotten wood can also be carved when he enters the palace; a poor talent can become a treasure horse when he enters the palace; a great talent can become a king's assistant!"
…………………
Chiyan Villa, Ying Jiu built a palace next to Chiyan Mountains, which is also a quiet place. The formation isolated the heat of Chiyan Mountain, leaving only a red maple and a red mountain view.
Because Zhen Mi said, "She wants to see the cerebral axe", Ying Jiu took the little guy to this villa and let the two cubs of the Sun Tiger King play with Mi'er.
Compared to the "cerebellar axe", Ying Jiu prefers to tease the wolf king's cub Xiaobai. The little guy is so angry that he is very clever.
However, someone soon interrupted Ying Jiu's life, "Lord, the chief clerk of Jingzhou, Kuai Liang, asked for a meeting again."
It seems that Kuai Liang can't wait, and it's time to meet him.
Ying Jiu bent down and patted Zhen Mi's head, saying, "Mi'er, I still have something to do. Can you please let Shiqi play with you? I will bring you a gift when I come back in the evening."
The little guy who was a little depressed, suddenly his eyes lit up when he heard Ying Jiu's Xu Nuo, and there were little stars in his eyes:
"Huh, gift!"
"Father Ya, please go quickly. Just have Sister Feng Shiqi accompany me."
"You must come quickly tonight!"
