Regarding the compilation of the new law, Wen Qihang did not intend to interfere too much. After all, every era has rules that should be followed in each era. If in this era of imperial power, to advocate any judicial fairness, equality before the law, it is tantamount to an act of mantis blocking the car.

One step ahead of the era is advanced, ten steps ahead of the other, then it becomes crazy.

As long as Dou Yi's compilation of the new law is formulated in accordance with the rules that should be observed in this era, rather than becoming a tool used by the nobles, this is already a very rare progress.

There is a causal relationship between things, and the law of cause and effect is actually the most basic essence of our world.

Yuan song writer Zhang Yanghao once wrote a song that has been passed down through the ages in "Hillside Sheep Tong Caring for the Ancients".

Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.

And in Yuan Shi Hui's "The Story of the Boudoir", there is also a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages: Rather be a peaceful dog, don't be a chaotic person.

It can be seen that under the premise that the people are suffering, it is still a prosperous time, and there will be a glimmer of hope for the people's lives.

Looking at the 5,000-year history of China, it is not difficult for us to find that an important reason for the change of dynasties in the past dynasties is because of the peasants. A rebellion without the participation of the peasants would be called a coup d'état rather than a change of dynasty or revolution.

Once the peasants lose their land and cannot survive, a tragic change of dynasty will begin, and with each change of dynasty, the number of people will often plummet. Among them, during the most tragic Wuhu Rebellion, the Han nationality once went from being second to none to becoming an ethnic minority with a population of only a few million.

And once the population number falls below a certain threshold, the crisis of extinction will be imminent.

The fundamental cause of the peasant uprisings in the past generations was that the peasants lost the land on which they depended.

With the passage of time, every late dynasty, because of the increase in the number of nobles, in order to be able to support them, the authorities will increase the collection of taxes on the common people, and the main body of tax payment in ancient times has always been farmers, which has caused many peasants to barely survive.

When a natural disaster strikes, this fragile balance will be completely upset.

In order to survive, an uprising is inevitable.

If we want to end this cycle of dynastic change, we must first ensure that the peasants' land is not lost. As long as there is a change of dynasty without the participation of the peasants, the sacrifices are often small-scale, and even can evolve peacefully.

Even the ascendancy of a generation of empress Wu Zetian can evolve peacefully.

Even if it was the most tragic battle of Jingjing in all previous coups, the number of people who died was limited.

As for the Xuanwumen coup d'état, anyway, they all belong to the nobles, the dog eats the dog's hair, and the more they die, the more it will reduce the pressure on the people.

There is only one way to ensure that peasants' land is never lost, and that is to pay no tax.

According to the industrious nature of our Chinese nation, even if we sell our land because of temporary difficulties, as long as there are no heavy taxes, we will definitely accumulate money and buy land again. This nature has not changed much even in later generations, maybe we are not buying land, but real estate is .......

This is probably an important reason why housing prices remain high.

In order to achieve no tax on agriculture, first of all, commerce must be extremely developed, and only when commercial tax occupies the main body of national tax payment can this grand goal be realized, and even agricultural subsidies can be provided.

But if commerce is to flourish, the fairness of the law becomes very important, because once privileged people participate in commerce, it will completely stifle the prosperity of commerce.

In the middle of the Song Dynasty, commerce was once prosperous, and there was hope to enter the bud of capital, but in the period of Wang Anshi, almost all commerce was incorporated into the government, whether it was salt, iron, wine and tea, or grain, cloth and horses, as long as it was a money-making business, the imperial court would be mixed in, and this kind of behavior of competing with the people for profit completely stifled the development of private commerce.

Chinese society has always been a society of human feelings, and we often even say that the law is nothing more than human feelings, but this is simply devastating for the development of commerce. We don't look at the quality of the product, only look at the human relationship, how fair is there in such a society.

Although there is never any absolute fairness, relative fairness still needs to be fought for. This is like the same crime, the law stipulates that the nobles are sentenced to one year and the commoners are sentenced to ten years, which seems very unfair, but what is even more unfair is that the nobles can use their own advantages to avoid the one-year sentence, while the commoners have for various reasons, the sentence that should have been ten years has been upgraded to twenty years, which is an even greater injustice.

After all, the law ultimately depends on people to enforce it, and as long as it is a human being, it is inevitable that there will be tendencies, not to mention that the final interpretation of the law is not in the hands of the common people, but in the hands of the powerful.

In this era, the goal that Wen Qihang wants to achieve is actually very simple, that is, to strictly enforce the law, even if the nobles are sentenced to one year and the commoners are sentenced to ten years, they must be strictly enforced.

Only in this way will the hope of the people finally be realized.

"Wenjue, this is the ten new laws you ordered the lower officials to list last time, you take a look at them first, and if there is anything wrong, the lower officials will correct them." Dou Yi didn't understand what Wen Qihang meant when he said that the hope of the people was, but with Wen Qihang's promise to be a shield for himself, he became much more respectful between these words.

"Oh, Dou Guanren is very concerned!" Wen Qihang smiled, took a book of music handed over by Dou Yi, and teased.

"........" heard Wen Qihang's ridicule, and Dou Yi's expression was suddenly embarrassed. Regarding this matter, as early as when Wen Qihang went to duty for the first time, he had already ordered it, but during this time, he poked out a lot of baskets because of Wen Qihang. In Dou Yi's view, Wen Qihang's removal from office and investigation is already a sure thing, so he didn't bother to deal with it, but who would have thought that Wen Qihang would be a political tumbler, even if he caused a lot of trouble, he could still sit firmly in Diaoyutai.

In desperation, I had to put away the little thought I wanted to be on top, and I had recently been under a lot of pressure from all parties, so I hoped that Wen Qihang could share it for himself. Now that I have come here through this matter, I am indeed suspected of being a villain.

"Please forgive me, it is the lower officials who have slackened off on this matter, and the day after tomorrow will be the imperial court's post-sealing ceremony, I hope there is no delay in Wenjue's arrangement." Dou Yi pleaded guilty.

For Wen Qihang, Dou Yi didn't have a good impression from the beginning, after all, he was the one who originally proposed to compile the national law, so according to the rules, of course, he would be fully responsible, but the sky was unsatisfactory, and he was actually intervened by Wen Qihang, and lost this opportunity to be famous for eternity. This is inevitably a little resentful in my heart, otherwise as Wen Qihang's adjutant, after Wen Qihang asked for sick leave, he would have come to greet him.

"It's not a delay, it's just a matter of a few words, even if it is drafted temporarily, with the talent of Dou Guanren, there must be no problem." Wen Qihang said while reading the recital.

"Wen Jue has a good reputation, and the lower officials are ashamed." Dou Yi said with an embarrassed expression.

"The writing is good, and the officials of Dou are really brilliant." After reading it, Wen Qihang put together the chapter, and sighed lightly: "I hope to impress Your Majesty and let this law pass." ”

"These ten laws, if Your Majesty allows it, it will affect the final direction of the national law, and I am afraid that the pressure on you in the future will be not small." Dou Yi sighed.

"People live for a lifetime, plants and trees in autumn, and they always have to leave something, and we can't just follow the crowd because of a little pressure." Smelling the words of the voyage, he said pointedly.

The details of history, after thousands of years, it is difficult for us to have a detailed understanding, but it is an indisputable fact that "Song Xingtong" almost copied "Tang Law Shu Yi", I don't know what Dou Yi was thinking at that time, so it is very necessary to remind him.

"What Wen Jue said is very true, if His Majesty approves it, the lower officials are ready to elaborate on the various laws on the basis of the "Yonghui Law", so as to reduce disputes." Dou Yi said: "When the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ji and others on the basis of "Zhenguan Law", they extended from words and reasonableness to reasonableness, and the "Yonghui Law" was also regarded as a precedent for a generation. And it is precisely because of the detailed explanation of the law that it becomes easy to understand and more conducive to its circulation among the people. ”

"Dou Guanren, your idea is good, now that we have movable type printing, we don't have to be like gold, we must explain the law word by word, only the people are clear about what to do, what not to do, in order to completely put an end to not teaching and punishment, but also more conducive to stabilizing the people's mind.

Otherwise, the official words are two mouths, how can we be reasonable, we are always scolded by the people, that is not good. Wen Qihang said with a smile.

"It is a blessing for all the people to be appointed by Lord Wen to compile the new laws of our dynasty, Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and the officials admire them." Dou Yi complimented.

"Hey, Dou Guanren, even if you shoot the sycophants of Benjue and His Majesty now, I'm afraid it's already too late, and for the post of deputy editor, I'm afraid you have no hope." Wen Qihang sighed lightly.

Don't expect Zhao Lao Er to become blind and deaf, Dou Yi can't withstand the pressure from outside, and now he has come to ask for Wen Qihang's help, and he must have been marked a big cross in Zhao Lao Er's heart.
