After two days of preparation, Yu Qiuping's evening class officially started. Relying on the powerful power of Hanyu Pinyin, Yu Qiuping's teaching progress far exceeds the level of normal teachers, and Ashigaru's literacy ability is improving at an objective speed. Now during the break, the ashigaru people no longer brag and fart, but take the simple textbooks handwritten by Yu Qiuhei and transcribed by the pro-soldier and others to learn kanji. During the training, everyone's passwords and conversations were also changed to Chinese, and for a time there was a boom in learning Chinese for all people in the territory. Many children lie on the barracks wall all day long, listening to the ashigaru shouting orders.

The only thing that didn't match Akihei's plan was that the ashigaru people refused to teach the kanji in the order of the simplicity of the strokes, and instead unanimously demanded that Akihei use the hotel's menu as the first thing to teach.

At the same time, the production of ordnance was also on the right track. Hanamaru divided the production of Guzu into multiple parts such as pockets, armor, and small Guzu for production, and the teaching work was basically completed. After Yu Qiuping's linear planning, the craftsmen first worked together to fill the gap between the spears and arrows, and then began to assemble the production line together. With 20 people in battle, the production is estimated to reach more than 20 units per month, and there will be further breakthroughs after proficiency. However, since it was the first time to carry out assembly line production, Hanamaru estimated that there might be problems in the matching of the various parts, and he reminded Yu Qiuping that the output in the first month might be lower than the estimate.

At noon on November 12, when Yu Qiuping was having dinner in his mansion in Xicun, he suddenly came to him.

"Have you eaten, Kinbei?" Yu Qiuping pointed to the seat next to him, "Do you want to come and eat together?" ”

"Thank you, sir, for eating it before." The pro-soldier guard arched his hand and said, "I came here this time because I wanted to ask for the advice of my lord. ”

"Say it." Yu Qiuping swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"That's right, there was a dispute in the East Village yesterday, the two families had a very unpleasant quarrel, and the family was dissatisfied with the village chief's punishment, and kept the matter here. I don't know what to do with it, so I'm going to ask you. The pro-soldier said in embarrassment.

"Oh?" Yu Qiuping asked with some curiosity, "What's the matter?" ”

"They are two big families with considerable financial power in the East Village." "After both families were samurai, each had several sons who served in Sunpu Castle and Ejiri Port, one from the Matsubara family and the other from the Katsutada family. ”

"Yesterday morning, a few servants of the Katsuda family were driving the pigs they had raised to the market here in the West Village to sell them, and they happened to pass by the Matsubara family's mansion, so they took the pigs to rest in the outer courtyard of the Matsubara family for a while. In the outer courtyard of Matsubara's house, the crops that have just been harvested this year are being basked. ”

At this moment, suddenly a house not far from the Matsubara family caught fire, and the servants rushed out to help put out the fire together with a few people from the Matsubara family who were watching the crops. Although the fire was extinguished, when they returned, they found that a dozen of their pigs had been left unattended, and the Matsubara family's harvest for a year had been ruined. ”

Therefore, the head of the Matsubara family went to the village chief to sue the servants of the Katsuda family, and asked the Katsuda family to compensate them for their losses. However, the people of the Katsuda family confirmed that their servants should not be compensated for this incident because of their courageous actions. The pro-soldier smiled bitterly.

"How did the village chief judge?" Yu Qiuping asked curiously.

"The village chief thinks that the people of the Getian family are right, and he thinks that the Matsubara family is scheming and blasts them out, and the Matsubara family is naturally not convinced." "As a result, early this morning, the Matsubara family asked their two sons who served in Junfu Castle to come back and find me to make decisions for them. After the Katsuda family heard about it, the kid who worked in Ejiri Port also returned, and the two sides made a lot of trouble in front of me. Now they're waiting outside the door, two gangs. ”

"The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable." Yu Qiuping laughed, "Do you know what is the reason for all this?" ”

"Please make it clear." The pro-soldier guard bowed his head and said.

"I'll talk about it later," Yu Qiuping waved his hand, "you send someone to call all the ashigaru, as well as the chiefs of the four villages and the leaders of each family, and we will have a meeting in the southern meadow in the afternoon, and I will administer justice." ”

In the afternoon, on the grass south of the village. The people of the Matsubara family and the Katsuda family arrived early, and at this moment the two sides were glaring at each other. However, after all, they are not living treasures like Taehyung Asahina and Masatsuna Okabe, and they will not fight casually. The head of the East Village had already sat on a matza prepared on the grass, and was arguing with several old men of the Matsubara family. Amano Keitori took a few ashigaru and was in charge of maintaining order on the scene.

The two hundred ashigaru were sitting on the other side of the grass, and at this moment, they were holding Yu Qiuping's teaching materials, reviewing each other's lessons from last night. And the village chiefs of each village, the head of the family, also rushed to the scene. There were also many villagers who came to see the excitement, but they didn't have stools to make, so they had to stand outside the people who were sitting.

At two o'clock, Yu Qiuping still arrived on time. The people who were originally sitting got up one after another, the people knelt directly to the ground and kowtowed, and several samurai also bowed and saluted, the only thing that surprised everyone was that none of Yu Qiuping's two hundred subordinates knelt down to salute, but after a "salute" command, they all straightened their palms with their right hands and pointed to their temples.

The small episode did not change the focus of everyone's attention, and after Yu Qiuping finished saying the waiver and everyone sat down, Yu Qiuping cut directly to the topic.

"I won't delay everyone's time, let's get straight to the point." Yu Qiuping said, "This time I came here in person to deal with the dispute between the Matsubara family and the Katsuda family. ”

"I've already known the situation beforehand." Yu Qiuping continued, "The Katsuda family drove the pig's attendants to rest in the outer courtyard of the Matsubara family. Later, the servants of the two families went together to put out the fire, and the unattended pigs gnawed the crops of the Matsubara family. Yu Qiuping glanced at the people of the two families and asked with a pleasant face, "Do you have anything to add?" ”

"Yes!" A young man from the Matsubara family stood up first, "Your Excellency! The people of the Getian family are really unreasonable! Their pigs obviously ate our crops, but they found all kinds of excuses to pay their debts, and the village chief also favored them! When there was a conflict in our outer court, their servants were beating people! ”

"You don't want to spew blood!" A young man from the Getian family immediately sneered, "At that time, it was your people who insisted on robbing our pigs, and our attendants did it!" ”

"What's wrong with destroying the crops and leaving the pigs to compensate!" The people of the Matsubara family scolded.

"Our people are there to put out the fire! The village chief also thought that the servants had done the right thing! The young man from the Getian family was even more angry, "What's wrong with seeing righteousness and courage!" ”

"You..."

"Silence!" Tianye Jingde let out a low roar, and the two who were arguing realized their gaffe and hurriedly apologized to Yu Qiuping.

"It's okay, let's discuss more before we can get results." Yu Qiuping said he didn't care.

"So, let me summarize." Yu Qiuping clapped his hands and looked at the people of the Matsubara family, "You think that their pigs have ruined your crops, and no matter what their reason, you are the innocent victims, so you want them to compensate." ”

"Your Excellency! And when we were fighting the fire, our family also went. The people of the Matsubara family responded one after another.

Yu Qiuping turned around again and looked at the Getian family, "But you think that under the circumstances, it was the right choice for your servants to choose to fight the fire and save people, rather than watching their own pigs, after all, human life is more important." So I feel that it is too aggrieved to compensate for righteousness and bravery. ”

"Yes, sir." The people of the Getian family responded, "And I didn't know at the time that pigs would actually gnaw on crops!" ”

"As for the village chief," Yu Qiuping looked at the old man again, "he thinks that righteousness and courage are worth encouraging, so he thinks that the Getian family is justified." ”

"My lord, that's exactly what the grass people think." The village chief nodded hurriedly and said, "I still hope that the lord will decide." ”

"I'll adjudicate..."Yu Qiuping pondered for a while and said with a smile: "I think you are all very reasonable!" ”

These words made everyone present slightly dissatisfied, and they were summoned for a trip after a lot of hard work, and they actually got a reply from the mud, is this lord here to mediate?

"However, no matter how the punishment is awarded," Yu Qiuping stretched out his hands and pointed to the Matsubara family and the Katsutada family, "You will all have one side who is not convinced and thinks that the village chief is unfair, right?" ”

The dozens of people on both sides looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Do you know what the problem is?" Yu Qiuping smiled and shook his head with satisfaction.

"Law." He said loudly.

"The lack of a universally accepted law is the root cause of this problem." Yu Qiuping analyzed, "I have asked the villagers before, you usually encounter various problems, you usually talk about small things privately, and report major matters to the village chief for adjudication, and if you don't work, go to the lord." Yu Qiuping smiled, "However, whether you settle it in private, the village chief's ruling, or the lord's judgment, it is not in accordance with the law, but according to the truth in your heart, or the reason of human affairs, and the code of ethics often adjudicates." ”

"The Imagawa Kana Catalogue does not manage these details, and the lack of a unified ruler will lead to confusion. Because truth is not absolute. Yu Qiuping spread his hands, "For example, this incident." It is a matter of course to act bravely, and to lose money for breaking things, and it is difficult to judge if both sides insist on their own words. Some people are more interested in righteousness and bravery, such as our village chief. But if it is a person who values property more, such as which one is adjudicated, he may think that the Katsuda family should compensate. ”

"How can there be multiple different penalties for the same thing? This is a great injustice. ”

"That's why I said that it is absolutely unfeasible to rely on the truth in one's subjective thinking to make a judgment." Yu Qiuping raised his eyebrows, "Only by formulating nuanced laws, just laws that are recognized by everyone, and relying on this standard to judge cases, can we work fairly and convince everyone." ”

Seeing everyone's somewhat confused eyes, Yu Qiuping explained, "For example, this case. If we had a law in place in advance that anyone who harms someone else's finances, regardless of the cause, will be compensated at the original price. Then the Getian family will have to lose money. As soon as Yu Qiuping's voice fell, several people from the Getian family quit, "My lord! Then who will be brave and brave in the future! ”

"Haha, I'm not done yet, it's just a case of the law." Yu Qiuping smiled, "This time I will allocate funds to make up for some losses for the Songyuan family." ”

"But even if the law is unreasonable like the previous one, it has its benefits." Yu Qiuping said in a deep voice, "At least the Getian family will not be dissatisfied with the verdict, because the law is written in black and white, and everyone must abide by it." The Getian family doesn't have to worry, could it be that the village chief and the Matsubara family colluded and had a personal relationship, so they deliberately asked them to compensate. ”

"The order of a tyrant is also stronger than the absence of order. As long as there is a law that everyone agrees with and authoritative, there will be no injustice. ”

As soon as Yu Qiuping's words came out, everyone suddenly realized.

"Therefore, in the next few days, I will find the village chiefs, several of my subordinates, and respected patriarchs to formulate the laws of our four villages. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, you will put it forward when we make it public, and we will revise it as appropriate. A few days must not be exhaustive, and the time in the future is very long, and it can be replenished slowly. Yu Qiuping changed his words, "But! Once the law is enforced, everyone must obey the judgment of the law without any doubt! ”

"As for who will decide." Yu Qiuping thought for a while, "Before, among my subordinates, a few of them were seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, so let them serve as judges. I'm teaching them to read, and when they do, they're going to learn the law. Yu Qiuping pointed at Tianye Jingde, "Jingde, you have always been iron-faced and selfless, and this piece of work will be handed over to you." ”

"Obey the order." Amano Keitoku gave his hand.

"As for why I called you here," Yu Qiuping looked at his subordinates with a wicked smile, "I will also formulate a military law corresponding to the civil law in the future, which will be a hundred times stricter than the civil law, and if there is a violation, even the punishment will be written in black and white." ”

Everyone looked at Yu Qiuping's creepy smile, and three words flashed in their minds.

Push-up.
