Chapter 137: Layout

Soon the news of the founding of the country was well known, and they were excitedly publicized everywhere.

The soldiers have a reason why the soldiers are happy, because in the previous war, they only counted the merits and promotions, and the titles and so on did not count.

And after the founding of the country, these titles will be settled together.

When you go out, you are destitute, and when you return, it is unspeakably expensive.

The soldiers were indeed happy, but for the civil officials, it was extremely painful.

Because there is a lot of work waiting for them to do, although it is possible to establish the country first, and then talk about the rest, but some necessary things still need to be prepared.

Now, the that Wang Buxing once bragged about is about to be realized one by one.

What Zhang Liang put in the first place is the law.

All the officials who were qualified to judge under his rule were gathered, and then everyone began to study and discuss with Qin Lu.

The request given by Wang Buxing is only eight words, light punishment for minor crimes, heavy punishment for serious crimes!

It seems reasonable, but when it comes to the actual operation, one problem after another arises.

It's easy to say that misdemeanors are serious crimes, but how should those crimes that are said to be light or not light, and whether they are serious or not serious, should be sentenced?

However, in this era when it is very difficult to popularize the law, these things are not explained clearly to the people.

Even if they did, they wouldn't understand.

Therefore, when publicizing, you only need to tell them that except for what crimes will implicate others, no other crimes will implicate others.

Wang Buxing took the first version of the law that Zhang Liang and others revised in ten days, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle into a line.

'Picking mulberry leaves, not a penny, what's the matter? Ten years old. ’

The original version of Qin Law is thirty years, that is, the punishment of thirty days of forced labor, and here it is reduced by twenty years, although it seems to reduce the punishment standard, but it always gives Wang Bu Hungry a strange feeling.

Another example is the copying of the law on the crime of theft.

'A steals and is worth a thousand pennies, and B knows that he is stealing, and he is dirty for less than a penny. Same sin as A! ’

Wang was not hungry, but he just looked at it and put it down.

I really can't see it.

It has nothing to do with the quality of the writing, the problem must exist, but more importantly, I don't have the heart to read these ancient texts.

And there is no perfect law in the world, now it is just an outline, and then when there are any new problems in the future, they will be supplemented, and after decades of revision, this law will gradually be perfected.

As for understanding the law, the king did not feel that he needed to memorize these things.

Otherwise, what do you want Tingwei to do?

Whoever is the profession will ask whomever to go, if he can't answer, then there is a problem.

"The same case should be divided into principal and secondary, and the principal should be less serious, and should not be guilty of the same crime, and if there is a report, the punishment may be reduced or not punished according to the circumstances of the case. In this way, those who are forced to sin will not go all the way to the dark, and it will become more and more intense. Wang Bu was hungry and said directly.

Qin Law is not only sitting together, but even the law gives people a feeling of sitting together, regardless of the value of the case, regardless of the master and slave, if he commits the same crime.

While this law can be frightening, what about those who are forced to sin?

Or was he unknowingly encouraged to commit a crime?

For example, Wang Bu was not hungry and was carried up the mountain by everyone at that time, was he wronged?

"In addition, all crimes should be added to the circumstances of voluntary surrender, where the criminal surrenders, except for homicide, rebellion, and treason, the punishment may be reduced according to the circumstances of the case, and if there is enough time, it is best to make several different punishment levels, and the punishment for voluntary surrender can be reduced by one degree."

"The purpose of the law is not to be the fear of criminals, except to deter crime, but to tell those criminals that it is not terrible to break the law, and that as long as they can turn themselves in, they can confess and be lenient! If you dare to resist stubbornly, you must sit in prison! Wang Bu was not hungry and continued.

Wang Bu was not hungry and thought of stealing mulberry leaves, and then said: "There is also the one who picks mulberry leaves, the case is worth less than ten yuan, the first offender is ten dollars and the thief, the second offender is twenty dollars, and the second offense is added one degree, and thirty years, if he commits it again, he will be one year old." ”

This article is actually the adoption of the law of later generations, and if the value of the case is too low, it will not be filed.

But Wang Bu was not hungry but did not say no punishment, just a stepped punishment, not to mention that he did not give you a chance, and did not think that stealing worthless things was not a problem.

Once the habit is formed, you will not be able to control yourself later, so this kind of theft case with little value is not only an opportunity, but also a warning.

Who would dare to say that I am ruthless?

Then there was the question of land, which was again a heated quarrel.

Nowadays, the people are not too short of land, although the problem of land annexation still exists, but because the Qin Dynasty fell too quickly, those powerful people have not had time to expand the problem.

However, Wang Buyu still decided to distribute the land, and Wang Buyu proposed the concept of land state ownership.

"No, Childe, this is absolutely not possible, what should I do if the world is strong? Even if they are not considered, what will happen to the officials and soldiers? Don't you give the land when you divide it? Zhang Liang sternly refused.

"Childe, it seems a little inappropriate to do this...... Chen Ping also felt that there was a big problem.

In an agrarian society, land is the root of the problem.

Under Wang Buxing's daily thoughts, Chen Ping and Zhang Liang also realized that the land might have problems in the future.

Although looking at it now, this problem is not a problem at all.

Even if they let go of the restrictions and let the people plant as they please, the land under heaven will not be able to be planted.

Don't think that Sanchuan County is overcrowded with 2 million people, but in fact, it is not the case, but there is a lot of arable land, and what is lacking now is people to farm.

Therefore, proposing such a distribution plan now will not only make the powerful officials dissatisfied, but even the people may not buy it.

Although the opposition was very loud, Wang Buxing never let go, and only after experiencing it himself would he know the benefits of this system.

So he said: "The land problem will appear sooner or later, while the world is still undecided, it is better to solve it as soon as possible, and this is not a conflict with the rewards of officials and soldiers, the land that is divided, except that it cannot be sold, does not affect others, adult men are divided into forty acres, women are twenty acres, and five acres are taxed for one ......stone."

"As a result, there is a lot of arable land left uncultivated!" Zhang Liang's brows furrowed tightly.

"The rest of the land is cultivated by the government itself, and the grain and agricultural tools are provided by the government, and the people can be exempted from one stone tax for cultivating three acres of land for the government, and if A should pay a tax of ten stones, he will cultivate thirty-three acres for the government, and in the absence of natural disasters, the minimum requirements of the government are met, for example, the government requires that the yield per mu shall not be less than one and a half stones, and in addition to exempting A from paying the ten stone tax, the government needs to pay A one stone of grain as a reward." Wang was not hungry and smiled.

As long as there are no natural disasters, the grain planted is enough for them to eat, and for the government to farm the land, the requirements can be lowered.

Isn't the tax exempted for nothing?

"Childe, you...... You ......" Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't close his mouth in shock, looking at Wang Bu in disbelief.
