This is the first step to break the academic monopoly, and Guo Peng did it under the banner of sending depression for Guo Dan.

Not to mention, Guo Dan is really enjoying it.

It was really pleasant to take some of Guo's old scholars to study the law together and make up for the regrets in my heart when I was young.

And then doing it, I made a little achievement, and I also made some sense of achievement and responsibility.

After Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Empire, he abolished the laws of the Xinmang regime and restored the old laws of the Western Han Dynasty.

However, due to the fact that the old laws of the Western Han Dynasty have become increasingly complex and hassle, and the monarchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty have continuously added new laws, the laws of the Eastern Han Dynasty are still complex and cumbersome, and it is quite difficult to enforce.

Several major scholars who studied the law, including the Yingchuan Guo clan, had their own family codes, with slightly different emphases and different ways of interpreting legal provisions among themselves, so that it was difficult to enforce the law and the sentencing standards were not standardized.

During the period of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, there was a court commander Chen Chong who suggested that the Han law be deleted, the Han law should be streamlined, and the sentence should be unified, but Chen Chong was immediately dismissed, and this matter has disappeared until now.

Now that Guo Peng's rule is becoming more and more stable, some of the legal disputes that were covered up during the war are beginning to come to the fore.

The different attitudes of the two governments towards the enforcement of the law often lead to contradictions between the two local governments, and the uneven quality of law enforcement at the grassroots level has affected the intensity of law enforcement, and the people have complained about this, and this contradiction has gradually aggravated and gradually developed to the point where it must be resolved.

Originally, I just wanted to let Guo Dan relieve his boredom, but in the end, he solved it, and he really solved the value.

The legal provisions summarized by Guo Dan will become an important evidence for Guo Peng to promulgate new laws after he ascended the throne as emperor.

When Guo Peng went to meet Guo Dan, Guo Shan was writing hard, and when he saw Guo Peng coming, he immediately beckoned Guo Peng to come and sit together.

"Zifeng, you came just in time, you come to see this, you told me that you should pay special attention to the punishment standard, I think Qin Luli's statement can be maintained, with height as the standard, men are six feet five inches, women are six feet two inches for adults, those who reach this height can be sentenced for crimes, otherwise they will not be punished, what do you think?"

Guo Shan put the relevant legal provisions summarized by himself in front of Guo Peng, and asked Guo Peng to refer to them in detail.

Guo Peng looked at the law.

This is an article in the Qin law, which talks about the standard of punishment.

It's just that unlike modern times, modern times mostly use age as the standard, but Qin Law uses height as the standard.

Such a standard was naturally inherited by the Han.

When he first learned about it, Guo Peng felt a little ridiculous, why would he use height as the standard instead of age?

In this way, the crimes of the elderly who are not tall enough are not punished, while the crimes of the young who are too tall are severely punished, which is too harsh.

But after in-depth investigation of Li Shu's family, Guo Peng understood the practical significance of this law.

It's very sad, because Qianshou Li Shu doesn't know that there are people of his age.

At that time, there was no ID card, and a considerable number of Qianshou Li Shu did not know what year, month, and day they were born, nor did they know how old they were now.

On the one hand, the level of education is insufficient, and there is no way to calculate the age of the cadres and the year name.

On the one hand, the average life expectancy is too low, and there are too many elders who die early, so that children lose their fathers and mothers before they understand things, so they naturally don't know how old they are.

In this case, height is obviously more relevant than age, because height increases with age and objectively exists, and dwarfism or gigantism are very rare after all.

On the premise of not knowing age, it is fairer to Qianshou Li Shu by using height as the standard.

This is the wisdom of the ancestors, and it is also the sorrow of Qianshou Lishu.

The so-called twenty crowns for men and fifteen for women are the standards of the families of the Haoqiang clan, and they are the rules that can only be passed in the 400,000 people.

Only they can enjoy the right to have a surname, a given name, a word, an age or a birthday, and only they can enjoy the right to leave their names in history.

When Guo Peng went out to inspect the localities and ordinary villages and people's homes, when he asked them about their age, 90 percent of them could not report their exact age.

Some families are more clever and use the old knotted notation to calculate their age after the grain has been cooked several times.

At the beginning of Guo Peng's rule in Qingzhou and the establishment of the countryside, some families in Qingzhou used the year Guo Peng first came to Qingzhou as a count, and calculated the age of children born after that.

This is a minority, the vast majority of Li Shu families do not have a way to count, and they do not know how to calculate age, and some parents do not even know how old they are, let alone children, so they have to use height to judge age.

When Guo Peng sent people to count the population, most of the specific population was counted by height, and height data was added to those who were aged.

Only children born after the start of the population statistics will have their age data on the population records, so many family elders do not know, but the government knows more details.

Therefore, when Guo Peng was in the local literacy eradication, the first thing he taught them was how to record their age.

The cause of literacy is beginning to see the light of day, and the new children are beginning to have their own age data, but there is no way to solve the problems left over from history.

Before that, Qianshou Li Shu did not deserve age.

In such a situation, using height as the criterion for criminalization and distinguishing between adults and minors is a truly feasible method.

Guo Peng believes that the criminal standard of 6 feet 5 inches for men and 6 feet 2 inches for women must be the conclusion reached by the Qin officials after a large number of population statistics after the Shang Dynasty reform, which is true and reliable.

Moreover, the living environment and nutritional intake standards of the Li Shu people are even inferior to those of the Qin people of that era, and the average height data will even be reduced, which is not outdated.

"This law can be followed, the current Li Shu does not know the age, it is feasible to judge the age by height, and in the future, the newborn children have age, they no longer need to use height as a standard, and they can be sentenced by age."

Guo Peng nodded.

Guo Shan was very happy and ticked off this article and kept it for future use.

"Sorting out the legal provisions of this kind of thing, it still depends on the Guo family, we are a family of laws, although the Yingchuan wealthy family has the legacy of Shen Han, in the end it is not specialized in studying the law, how can it be compared with us?"

Guo Shan seems very happy that he can contribute to the law.

Seeing him so happy, Guo Peng was also very happy.

Then, the two fathers and sons discussed the practical significance of some Qin law provisions to the present, and they both felt that Qin law could still be used.

The legal provisions of 400 years ago are still outdated, and Guo Shan has to sigh at the rigor with which the Qin people formulated the law.

"Compared with the laws of the Qin State, the laws of my Han cannot be said to be inferior, but when it comes to the implementation level, it is indeed not a little bit worse, and many places are even using the three chapters of Emperor Gaozu's covenant."

Guo Dan has served as a local official and has a lot to say about this kind of thing.

"This is also the past, at present, my son has increased his investment in law, and in the future, he will cultivate enough legal talents to enter the rural grassroots and be responsible for law enforcement, and the situation will be much better than now."

Guo Peng said with a smile.

Guo Shan nodded with satisfaction.

"My son deserves to be the Optimus Prime of the Han Dynasty, with my son ruling the world, what can I worry about as a father? Hahaha! ”

Guo Shan patted Guo Peng's shoulder and smiled with satisfaction.

Guo Peng pursed his lips.

"Father, I'm going to be the emperor."
