Chapter 415: Legal Column
Mo Dun arched his hand towards Han Zheng and said, "In Mojia Village, the purpose of the court is twofold, one is to deal with disputes within Mojia Village, and the other is to solve disputes outside Mojia Village. ”
"External disputes!" Han Zheng frowned suddenly, the reason why he was willing to come to Mojia Village was because of the independent judicial power promised by Merton, but he didn't want to become a thug of the Mo family.
Seeing this, Merton immediately understood Han Zheng's thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "Master, don't misunderstand, the kid means that the court is responsible for making the contract signed by the Mojia Village conform to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time popularize the knowledge of the law for the children of the Mo family, so that they can understand the law, know the law, abide by the law, and even know how to use the law." ”
Han Zheng stood up and shouted: "What a person who understands the law, knows the law, abides by the law, and uses the law, these eight characters are the essence of Legalism." ”
In his opinion, these eight words are comparable to the sixteen characters of Merton's judicial independence. Most of the ordinary people don't even know a single big word, let alone understand the law, and sometimes they don't even know that they are breaking the law, let alone abiding by the law, or using the law to defend themselves.
In his opinion, Confucianism's pursuit of foolish education is probably the biggest obstacle to Legalism, and there are a few people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can really read the laws of the Tang Dynasty, so how to revive Legalism. I am afraid that only Mojia Village, which pursues compulsory education and night school, is the best place to publicize the law.
"That's what an old man should do." Han Zhengzheng's face softened slightly.
"Of course, if the children of the Mo family have a lawsuit outside, I am afraid that this will require a person from the Legalist family to defend the Mojia Village." Merton paused, and added, "Of course, it is within the scope of the Tang Law. ”
Han Zheng solemnly promised: "This is natural, since the old man is in Mojia Village, he will naturally not sit idly by and watch the children of the Mo family be wronged, but the old man is only one person, I'm afraid he can't be caught!" ”
Mo Dun smiled, he knew that this was Han Zheng and wanted to be an important person, so he didn't care at all and said: "Since Mojia Village promised the Fa family to rule on the affairs of Mojia Village independently, naturally it will not interfere in the internal affairs of the court, if Han Fuzi has other like-minded people to come, if not, it doesn't matter, Chang'an City Quchifang Confucius Academy and Medical College are under construction, I don't know if Master is willing to be a neighbor with the two." ”
Han Zheng suddenly said in ecstasy: "What do you mean?" ”
"The Mo family can build a law school in Quchifang, anyway, it's just a matter of building a few more schools." Merton said lightly.
"Welcome Brother Han to Quchifang." Hua Yuan warmly invited.
Li Fuzi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and at that time, Merton told him this, and as a result, he fell into it all of a sudden.
"Law School!" Han Zheng suddenly trembled with excitement, so far, there is only one Guozijian in the entire Tang Dynasty professors, and there are very few legal talents trained in a year, if the Legalists have their own academy and cultivate Legalists, thinking of this phenomenon, Han Zheng couldn't help himself.
But even if you study the law, what's the use of not being able to enter officialdom? There are a few who are willing to learn the boring law. "Han Zheng is suffering from gains and losses.
Merton shook his head and said: "Master, this is wrong, even if you don't enter the officialdom, learning the law still has a wide range of uses, not to mention that most people don't understand the law and don't know the law, so when they go to court, they are completely confused, and they often lose a mess, but what if someone helps them fight a lawsuit?" ”
Han Zheng frowned and said, "You are all litigants cultivated by the Law Academy. ”
The lawsuit is a contemptuous name given by Datang to some people who help people fight lawsuits, usually these people are often not treated by the county officials, and they often trap the plaintiff and the defendant, and their reputation is very bad.
Merton shook his head and said: "How can those litigants be real legalists, what the law school has cultivated are real legalists, using the laws of the Tang Dynasty to truly avenge the wronged, bring the wicked to justice, and at the same time supervise the righteous people who are corrupt and pervert the law and distort the law." ”
The more Murton spoke, the brighter Han Zheng's eyes became. If some officials bend the law for personal gain, they rely only on the fact that the people do not understand the law, and if someone understands the law, I am afraid that even the most arrogant person will not dare to blatantly bend the law; if there is a lawyer who is proficient in the law on the side of the wronged, then he will definitely use the law to seek justice for the wronged.
"In addition, there are some big businessmen who probably need these people who are proficient in the law, not to mention, take Xu Jiexu's shopkeeper as an example, if there were people who are proficient in the law by his side back then, he will not be defeated in a short time." Merton pointed at Xu Jie and said.
Of course, Xu Jie was oppressed by the Wang family with power back then, but more importantly, he fell into the trap of the contract, and he was also extremely passive in the law, so the Wang family succeeded.
Xu Jie smiled bitterly: "If you can go back to the past, I can't wait to invite ten litigants to draft the contract to prevent the same mistakes from happening again." ”
"Students dare not guarantee otherwise, if the law school cultivates a high talent of legalists, in the first few issues, Mojiacun guarantees that all of them will be hired." Merton said, patting his chest.
With the increasing number of things in Mojia Village, various disputes will continue in the future, and the status of the Mo family is embarrassing
Han Zheng thought in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it would be, if there were people in Mojia Village who took the lead in using the Legalists, the Legalists might be able to find another way.
"In addition, students believe that the reason why Legalism is not highly popular is also related to the Legalist song and the high or low, and the people do not understand the law, which does not mean that the people do not need the law, so why can't Legalism take the initiative to promote Legalist thought?" Merton Road.
"Proactive publicity?" Han Zheng was stunned, Legalism has always relied on the power of the emperor to implement the law from the top down, and never thought of spreading Legalism from the bottom up.
Morton nodded and said: "The scope of the ink magazine has spread to Luoyang along the brick road, and the circulation of each issue has exceeded 50,000 copies, and the number of readers is probably several times this, I don't know if Han Fuzi is willing to open a legal column in the ink magazine." Specially popularize some classic cases and Legalist knowledge for the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Legal column!" Han Zheng's breathing suddenly became short, and Merton's move could be said to be extremely tempting to him.
"Ink magazine welcomes Brother Han to join." Li Fuzi welcomed the addition of Han Zheng, the audience and readability of the ink magazine will definitely be greatly improved, which will benefit the ink magazine a lot.
Han Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Li Fuzi sharply and said: "It's naturally good to join the ink magazine, I don't know if Brother Li has the courage to publish some unjust, false and wrongful cases." ”
Li Fuzi was called a strange Confucian, not because his behavior was extremely bold, and when he heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "Why don't you dare, it is the wish of the old man to ask for his life for the people." ”
The two looked at each other and laughed loudly at the same time, and immediately sympathized with each other.
Merton smiled bitterly when he saw this, one was bold and reckless, the other was jealous and hateful, Merton really didn't know that working together would make some things happen.
