Xiao Xuan, who has already come to Hangzhou, has of course also received various reports and cases from various places inside and outside the army. At this time, the entire bureaucratic system of the entire Ming Dynasty was almost completely hollowed out and abandoned, and even many yamen and even officials in the north who were loyal to the Chongzhen system were abolished a few months ago. Countless people who have suffered disasters have no choice but to go to Hangzhou and even higher places to "petition" in person when the local military management clique is covering the sky with only one hand and cannot find a place to be reasonable.

After the news of Xiao Xuan's team stationed in Hangzhou spread, thousands of people gathered outside Hangzhou to complain and complain within a short period of time, most of them were Jiangnan scholars who still had some illusions about the new regime of Chongzhen, but there were also many lower-level soldiers in the revolutionary army system, and even ordinary people.

After seeing this situation in the city of Hangzhou, Zhou Dayong, who had been in the local area for a while, also felt a little uneasy: "Could it be that the military discipline of our army's new army, and even the acting county commanders selected to serve in the local government, really can't boil to this extent without human resentment?" Could it be that some people in the local area are unwilling to lose their own interests and want to play through various means... ”

Xiao Xuan didn't seem to feel any surprise, on the basis of the late Ming Dynasty, it was a modern-level social change, and it could even be said to be a revolution, if there was no chaos, then it would be called a ghost.

"Have you ever heard of such large-scale petitions in the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and even the Two Jin Dynasty in the Gate Valve Era? To a large extent, it's actually a good thing that we're experiencing this phenomenon. This shows that we have not reached the point of losing people's hearts in the southeast. Although there are inevitably problems, mistakes, and even crimes in the work. But from inside and outside the army, many people still believe that you people around me are still people who can be reasonable and uphold justice. Among them, even if there are many people with ulterior motives, we should take them seriously. Take out some soldiers who can read and understand pinyin, and help those people write down the form, or let the person who comes with the form record it. Children in the army and even inside the country can enter the city... ”

In the next ten days, Xiao Xuan and even many children from Beihai New School who came with Xiao Xuan were completely busy. In the end, even if Xiao Xuan had at least forty reliable helpers around him, he would not be able to read all the complaints in detail. We can only focus on the complaints of the low-class people who are not scholars, and the complaints of the military system.

Xiao Xuan finally gave up his plan to review all the reports and began to think about other issues. At present, of course, the various problems of the revolutionary army's external transfer of forces in various localities and localities are easily exposed. Although there are many people who are lawless, from low-level soldiers to high-level officers, and even members of the Datong Society. In essence, they were not a well-coherent and experienced ruling group like the middle and late dynasties. Therefore, many problems can be easily exposed. Those people don't even have the slightest sense of confrontation to stop such behavior. But I am afraid that it will not take a few generations, and after only ten or even years, the problem may not be so easy to expose.

It is necessary to avoid the bureaucratization of the new ruling system, but it is not democratic enough, anyway, if the masses can rely on it, so-and-so can climb the tree. However, the necessary decentralization makes sense, and if everything is done by the local leader, and there is no separate system, it will be too costly and difficult to contain many problems, although it may not be impossible.

Therefore, Xiao Xuan finally made up his mind: in addition to the military and political system, set up another system to test the water. It is much easier to establish a preliminary and independent judicial system at a time when the revolutionary army system has not yet formed a relatively consolidated interest group and a sense of self-interest, rather than to carry out major surgery in the future.

"I heard that there are quite a few literati who have come to sue this time. Have their identities and even their family circumstances been filed and recorded as required? Among these people, who are not so high in family background and background, who have no connection with the local past clans, and who have clean backgrounds, hope to be able to elect more than 100 people. Even if you're too old, it's okay to be under fifty. I don't care if it's a child or a talent, a single person is preferred, and a poor lower-class family is preferred. I don't know, can it be done? When Xiao Xuan asked a young officer of the Ministry of Military Intelligence and Internal Intelligence, the young officer seemed to be a little worried: "Most of the local scholars who came to complain did not have much blood feud with our army, and they still trusted our army, there are not too many such people, and there are only four or five thousand predecessors in the past ten days, according to the investigation below, the worst is also from a well-off family." Tenants or children from the lower class may not be absent, but they are by no means one percent of the size... ”

After thinking for a while, Xiao Xuan decided that the conditions and standards could be relaxed, and the requirements in other aspects were a little stricter: "Then it is okay: people who have not recently lost their families, as long as they can be more proficient in reading, reading and writing letters, whether they have petitioned or not, as long as there are not too many brothers and sisters and relatives who are too involved in the side branches, they can be within the scope of our selection." It shouldn't be difficult to select about 100 people who are not bad and can stand the test, right? ”

"This shouldn't be difficult...

Xiao Xuan thought about it and thought that it would be more appropriate to specifically select some trained orphans to be court judges in the judicial system, but in the end he rejected this idea. Because it is easy for people around them to have all kinds of connections in their interests, only real "outsiders" will really not belong to a system in this regard.

And Xiao Xuan finally figured it out after thinking about it: whether the judge is reliable or not is not the most important thing. No one is infallible, and as long as you find a way to make an effective impact, you can have an effective impact. Even judges can't have a monopoly on power, and the jury system and media system are perfect, so that theoretically they can have the right and money to "get everything done", but that must be the energy of the core ruling class at the top. Maximizing the cost of bribery and judicial interference at the middle and lower levels is the core essence of a set of advanced experiences in capitalist power supervision, such as the modern judicial system and the public opinion supervision system.

What makes Xiao Xuan happy is that the members are still young, and when the military intelligence system does this seemingly simple thing without a long history, it seems that there are no interests and selfishness among them, a hundred people have good hopes and have read books, and the relationship with the local clan is not too big, and the characters who are mainly folk teachers are still easy to look for.
