In Huo Guang's eyes, the immigration and reclamation policy proposed by the Son of Heaven is really feasible.

That is the merit in the present and the benefit in the future.

Not to mention, after the resettlement is settled, I don't know how many people can be fed by the developed land.

What's more, immigration greatly strengthened the Han family's control over Liaodong, Liaoxi, and the new territories of Korea, and it also strengthened the Han family's national defense.

With so many benefits, Huo Guang felt that he had no reason to object.

"However, is the matter of changing the official system a little too hasty? Let's see what His Majesty says first......" Huo Guang thought to himself.

Immediately, he bowed his head and said: "Shengming has no past Your Majesty, and the ministers are only the first to bow, and I respectfully obey Your Majesty's edict!" ”

As for Wei Xiang, as soon as Zhou Yafu's words fell, he immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Imperial History Doctor Yamen should also participate in the matter of entering this cantonment and immigration, and all the cantonment troops should supervise the imperial history to supervise the lawlessness!" ”

Compared with Huo Guang, Wei Xiang has a much stronger bureaucratic flavor in him.

For the same thing, Huo Guang thinks about the overall situation, the whole world, and future generations.

But Wei Xiang only thought about the interests of his imperial historian yamen, as well as his own authority.

But Wei Xiang was not wrong.

Anything needs supervision.

The Ming Dynasty's guard system was originally very good, but it lost its supervision, and finally degenerated into tens of millions of guards on paper.

Liu Xun nodded and agreed: "What the Imperial Doctor said is very agreeable, after the Qing goes back, he will draw up a schedule with the Imperial History and others, and then submit it to the court for discussion!" ”

"No!" Wei Xiang bowed his head, and he was really overjoyed in his heart!

The key to whether a leader of any yamen can convince the public lies in whether he can get benefits and positions for his subordinates.

If the Son of Heaven's resettlement plan is implemented, at least hundreds of superintendents will need to take turns to supervise and inspect.

These more than 100 positions are enough for Wei Xiang to use them to establish his prestige.

Liu Xun waved his hand and moved on to the next topic.

Immigration is a long-term plan, and even if it is passed by the court and then issued an edict to organize the first batch of immigrants, it is estimated that it will not take place until this summer.

For the time being, this matter does not need to be discussed in detail.

But there is one problem, Liu Che must reach an agreement with the two important ministers now.

The problem is the problem of killing!

Now that winter has arrived, the killing season has arrived.

The Han dynasty was different from the dynasties after the Sui and Tang dynasties, and even from the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The laws of the Han dynasty gave the local magistrates the power to execute prisoners.

In the Han Dynasty, most of the condemned prisoners did not need to be reported to the Son of Heaven, and the magistrates themselves could be killed.

What's even more troublesome is that the Han law stipulates that when the magistrate tortures a prisoner, except for the corporal punishment that Emperor Taizong has expressly abolished, other punishments can be used as he pleases.

Generally speaking, it is not a matter for magistrates to flog prisoners, or even to maim prisoners to death.

Back then, Zhou Bo was imprisoned in Tingwei and almost lost half of his life.

The historical Han Anguo also has a story of resurrection.

These top aristocratic bureaucrats of 2,000 or even 10,000 stones are still being made to death by the jailers, let alone the common people?

In the historical records, Wang Wenshu once sighed: It would be nice if the winter was a little longer.

Yizong also committed murder to the point that everyone in the county was terrified, and the blood of the powerful in the county was stained red.

What's even more troublesome is that the local county guards of the Han family regard killing as a political achievement.

Under such circumstances, all kinds of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases are naturally inevitable.

But as the emperor, Liu Che couldn't let these guys kill people indiscriminately.

Moreover, one of the characteristics of centralization is that the emperor has the right to review the death penalty.

The so-called life and death are all in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

Like now, the magistrate can decide to kill people by himself, which is too unscientific for Liu Che.

Moreover, it is not conducive to the authoritarianism of the central power of the Han family.

Liu Xun sat upright and said to Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo: "When Emperor Xiaowen, the ancestor of Emperor Taizong, was in power, he once issued an edict saying: Born to steam the people, put the king to nourish them. The Son of Heaven is in power, the first is to live, and now the local county guards, the county lieutenants and even the county Sima, the lord Bo 2,000 stone feudal officials, exercise the power of life and death, 2,000 stone solid more virtuous ministers, however, it is inevitable that mistakes will be made in the busy, I will return the power of the death penalty to the central government, reviewed by the court lieutenant, reported to me, personally colluded, and then approved the execution! ”

Huo Guang and Wei glanced at each other, and then bowed: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and the ministers are respectfully edicted!" ”

For the central government, of course, the more power, the better.

Moreover, since the Qin Dynasty, centralization has been the trend of the times and is unstoppable.

What's more, as long as you are not stupid, you know that the public opinion and the will of the people in the world are all supportive.

All the sons of the hundred schools, no matter what faction, will not talk much about this issue involving less killing and careful killing.

As for the landlord and bureaucratic class, which has the right to speak, I am afraid, it will have to raise its limbs to support this decision.

After all, the meat eaters of the imperial court are more faceless than the local county guards.

Over the years, there have been many people who cherish feathers in the upper echelons of the Han family.

However, Liu Xun saw that in fact, the current Han law attaches great importance to the rights and interests of the powerful and bureaucratic class.

In the Han law, it is stipulated that the crimes committed by officials with titles above the rank of public and above and more than 600 stone must be tried and convicted by the court commander.

As for the crimes of Guan Neihou and above and 2,000 stones. Only the prime minister, the court commander and the emperor can decide their fate.

In the final analysis, the essence of Liu's country. It was a feudal dynasty.

Naturally, the laws of the Han dynasty were biased in favor of the sovereign nobility and wealthy merchants.

Most of the time, civilians and wealthy people commit crimes. It's two treatments.
