Chapter 003: Huizhou Heterogeneous (I)

"Teachings? Why is this the response of the teachings? What about their county order? ”

Faced with Gao Shipra's question, Liang Wu immediately smiled and praised: "Brother Xian is really smart, this question should be to the point!" ”

Gao pragmatically smiled and didn't reply. Think he was also the secretary of the county leader back then, and most of the official affairs of the county party committee were actually handled by him, and the old book (note) was only in charge of the general and slapping most of the time, if he didn't have the ability to "sort out the clues and grasp the key points", wouldn't he have been replaced long ago?

It's just that in this life, after all, he hasn't personally gone to the yamen at the level of the county ya, and he doesn't know how much difference there is between it and the later generations, so he can only ask about this layer.

After Liang Wu praised it, he immediately replied: "The reason why this Jixi County's Shenwen is responded to by the teachings is actually to reflect Jixi County's attitude towards this matter: what they mean is that this so-called Huizhou native Ding Sijuan case is not a legal issue in itself, but a moral issue. ”

Gao Pragmatic was a little puzzled by this sentence, and frowned: "Tax sharing is a moral issue?" Why? ”

"Naturally, the sharing of the tax burden itself cannot be a moral issue, and Jixi County means something else." Liang Wu beckoned to the master standing next to him, and then continued to say to Gao Shishi: "Virtuous brother, foolish brother, here is the Shenwen from Jixi County, you must understand it after reading it." ”

Master Zhang hurriedly bowed forward and handed Gao Pragmatic an article, Gao Pragmatic took it and looked at it carefully, and found that this edict really deserved to be a scholar, although compared to Shuai Jiamo's original Xiongwen, his Shenwen did not have much dry goods, but the knife and pen were hidden in the edge, and it could be regarded as quite a means.

At the beginning of the article, Yang Jiaoyu also shouted a political slogan first, which shows that the political consciousness of the characters who can roll in the officialdom is not too low - "In order to sincerely abide by the national code and according to the government will, they are all given relief and hardship." ”

After shouting the slogan, the style of painting changed suddenly, first scolding Shuai Jiamo for "changing the national system and abusing the superiors and subordinates", which was really a shameless lawsuit of "fake public and private interests", and then scolded Cheng Peng and Wang Xiang, who submitted documents in Jiajingnian that year, were Diao Min.

After scolding for a long time, Sect Yang finally got to the point. First of all, he admitted Shuai Jiamo's discovery, that is, today's "human silk silk" is indeed the "summer tax raw silk" at the beginning of the country. However, he also explained that according to the records of the prefecture, the imperial court found that the county owed Xia Mai 9,700 stones, and instructed them to pay the summer tax of raw silk, a total of 8,780 horses to the Nanjing transport warehouse. Therefore, the root cause of this incident is caused by Shexian's own mistakes, and it has nothing to do with other counties.

Then he said that this tax has been paid for more than 170 years, and no one has ever protested. Until the fourteenth year of Jiajing, two Shexian Diao people Cheng Peng and Wang Xiang went to sue Diao, and Feng Shiyong, the prefect of Huizhou at that time, presided over an investigation, and even went to the inspection court to check the edition, and the conclusion was that the "people Ding Silk Silk" should be handed over separately in She County. So for more than 30 years, the wind and waves were calm, and everyone was safe. Who knew that now there is another lawyer Shuai Jiamo, ignoring the wise decision of the superior leaders, and preferring to make waves.

Gao Shishi majored in law in college that year, so when he saw this, his first reaction was: If Daming implements case law, then this case can indeed be decided according to the judgment of Feng Shiyong, the former prefect of Huizhou.

But the problem is that although the Chinese dynasties have fundamentally governed society by individuals, if we want to look at it from a legal point of view, they have always implemented written law, not case law.

The so-called case law is the legal system implemented in the United States and the United States in later generations, and judges can decide cases based on the sentences of previous judges in the same or similar cases.

Statutory law, also known as the civil law system, the Chinese legal system, etc., such as France, China is one of the representatives, the characteristic is that no matter what the case, as a judge, you must be in accordance with the laws and regulations being implemented to pick out the entries, to correspond to one by one, how to judge, the previous case has nothing to do with the case at hand, you can only in accordance with the current laws and regulations to correspond to the case.

In 536 B.C., Zheng Guo's ruling son produced "casting the penal book in Ding, thinking that it was the common law of the country", which was the first official announcement of the written law in Chinese history, which was more than 2,000 years since the four years of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, although Yang's article is good, Gao Pragmatic believes that it is untenable from a logical point of view.

Because Gao Shishi had already discussed this matter with Gao Gong before, he remembered that Shuai Jiamo had already calculated very clearly at that time. According to the discount rate during the Longqing period, 8,780 horses of raw silk were converted into wheat for 20,480 stones, which did not match the 9,700 stones owed by She County. Even according to the discount rate during the Hongwu period, it is impossible to be so bad.

It can be seen that although Yang Jiaoyu's knowledge is good, he is a liberal arts student in the end, and I am afraid that this digital account is not understood.

But it doesn't matter, because although the ability of liberal arts students to settle accounts is debatable, there is no doubt about their ability to sensationalize.

In the text, Yang Jiaoyu said emotionally: "Our Jixi is a lower county, with a radius of only twenty-four miles, the land is barren, the people are poor, and the annual grain is less than 700 stones; They have a radius of 224 miles from She County, and they can get more than 60,000 stone of grain every year. Under such a huge gap, there are still wolf-hearted people like Shuai Jiamo, who want to transfer the burden of the upper county to the lower county! Is there still a reason for heaven? ”

It was not too late, after he finished crying, he added a "suggestion" with a deep meaning, saying, "Settle as usual, so as to avoid the worries of radical changes among the small people, and the government and the people will be both benevolent." ”

When Gao Pragmatic saw this, he immediately understood: It turned out that the words in front of Yang Jiao's edict can actually be regarded as nonsense, but the real literary eye is here.

Don't look at this sentence as it seems to be humble, but in fact it is faintly threatening, as long as you read it backwards, the meaning is very clear: if you don't tax as it is, it will inevitably cause a civil uprising, and at that time, it will be inconvenient for both the government and the people!

You must know that although this threat comes from the mouth of the representative of Jixi, it is obviously the consensus of the five counties behind it. In other words, if this matter does not have a satisfactory result in the end, it will be a chaos in the entire Huizhou Mansion.

Next year is the year of the Hajj inspection, Governor Duan, you can always weigh it up yourself.

Gao Pragmatic stretched out his fingers and gently flicked the manuscript paper in his hand, and said with half-squinted eyes: "Senior Brother Liang, this Yang Sect ...... I know the true meaning of officialdom, and this is a very slippery way to threaten the officials with the people's rebellion. He said, without waiting for Liang Wu to speak, he said to himself: "I guess, after the Huizhou Mansion read this Shen Wen, it must have understood it and there is no follow-up?" ”

Liang Wu was taken aback, looking at Gao Shi like a monster, and subconsciously glanced at Master Zhang next to him, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a dry voice: "Gao Shi reads you...... It's really like a torch. ”

Well, this scared me so much that I didn't even dare to call my virtuous brother.
