Chapter 17 Hundred Generations of Qin Law

Fusu's two younger brothers have used the No. 1 and No. 2 cradle strollers produced by Daqin, after the experiments of these two younger brothers, Fusu asked the craftsman to evaluate the performance of the stroller, and the third stroller rebuilt is more in line with the appearance of the stroller that Fusu has seen in the old time and space, and the best wood from Shaofu is used, and it is also decorated under the request of Yingzheng, and the whole stroller is not like a baby, but more like a work of art.

After seeing it, the Mi family rewarded the craftsmen who had been tossed by Fusu for a long time, but they ignored this son who had intellectual property rights in the Qin State.

The Mi family did give birth to a daughter, and Fusu really wanted to communicate with the imperial doctor, how did he judge, and he was too godly, wouldn't it be judged by a sour and hot girl?

I don't know who is talkative, the news that Fusu has built a moving cradle for his sister and all kinds of strange toys has spread out of the palace, and the nobles of the entire Qin State have set off a trend of making strollers and other things for their children, but the things created by these people are obviously more luxurious than the things designed by Fusu, although the materials used are not the best wood in Shaofu, but they are not less used in gold, silver and jade, coral pearls, and they are more like works of art than the things designed by Fusu.

There is another trend that is not unrelated to Fusu and is also booming under the impetus of Li Si. Li Si used the regular script learned in Fusu to write a long-planned "Cangjie Chapter", the beginning is to teach Fusu the eight words, presented to Yingzheng, and to Qin Shi Huang talked about the benefits of regular script, depicting a grand blueprint to unify the world with words, this structure is simple, neat with the pen, the shape is square, the strokes are straight, easy to learn the way of writing and is conducive to the unification of the world The function has been favored by Yingzheng, especially after hearing that this font may be improved by Fusu, Yingzheng is ordered to promote it throughout the country, In particular, we must take the lead in implementing it on the newly conquered Wei land.

Under the direct and indirect influence of Fusu, Li Si's "Cangjie Chapter" appeared more than ten or twenty years earlier, and the regular script appeared hundreds of years earlier than the original history, which greatly violated the evolutionary history of the development of Chinese characters from seal script to official script and then to regular script. However, Fusu is still not satisfied, although it is a regular script, but Li Si did not use Fusu's comprehensive simplification of the font, and his simplified characters are really not close to the seal script at all.

At that time, the level of calligraphy was only at the level of "bird seal", but the simplified Chinese characters without any aesthetic sense really could not enter the eyes of Li Si as a calligrapher. That is to say, Fusu's future learning is still traditional Chinese characters, which makes Fusu, who is used to using simplified Chinese characters, a headache, thinking that he will definitely promote the use of simplified Chinese characters when he becomes an emperor in the future.

In the context of creating a variety of baby toys and regular script promotion, Li Si decisively changed his education syllabus for Fusu, skipped all the enlightenment stages, and directly began to teach "Three Hundred Poems" and various historical books, and even "Qin Law", hoping to greatly occupy Fusu's extracurricular time, so as not to continue to sink into the work of strange and obscene skills.

Li Si talked about the nine punishments of the Zhou Dynasty and the "Lü Punishment" from the law produced in order to settle disputes and stop disputes, and then talked about the current laws of the Qin State from the "Book of Law" used by the Shang monarch to change the law.

However, his best imperial study was not included in his learning content in Fusu.

Fusu admired Li Si's talent and the laws of Qin, and in his impression, it took 60 years for the socialist legal system to be initially constructed in the news of later generations, and the laws of Qin should not be very good.

What he didn't know was that in order to show that his dynasty conformed to the will of heaven and reformed the old and brought forth the new, almost every change of dynasty in Chinese history would have a reformulation of the law, including our party. In other words, including New China, the laws of every dynasty and generation were almost established from scratch, with the exception of the barbarian Qing Dynasty.

This is one of the most stupid inertia events in Chinese history, as if these founding fathers could not build a new dynasty without abolishing the laws of the previous dynasty. Liu Bang, an old rague #hooligan, is undoubtedly the initiator, of course, his three chapters of the law did play a role in winning the hearts of the people, but it really set a bad example for future generations. Speaking of Liu Bang's bad example, his opponent Xiang Yu's two goods are not good things, Liu Bang's three chapters of the law are good to protect something, Xiang Yu made a bad start is to burn the Afang Palace, since then the peasant uprisings of all dynasties have captured a palace and burned down a palace, I don't know how many architectural miracles in China have been destroyed like this.

However, in terms of the essence of the laws after the Qin Dynasty, although the laws of the previous dynasties claimed to be enacted for the sake of the people to show innovation, the "Qin law of a hundred dynasties" is a recognized fact in the historical circles, and even the laws of the Republic of China (which are used on the treasure island) still have the shadow of feudal laws, and some laws in Hong Kong have also maintained some characteristics of feudal laws.

In China's feudal society, except for some special aspects of the Yuan Dynasty, the basic structure of laws formulated by the Qin State has not been changed for more than 2,000 years, for example, the criminal law is the main civil law, the substantive law is the main procedural law, and no dynasty has jumped out of the box of the Qin law.

"The law of Qin comes from Li Kui's "Book of Law" brought by Shang Jun from Wei State, but now Qin Law is not only "Book of Law", but I will start with "Book of Law" to tell you, because this is the basis of Qin Law, these volumes are the regular script "Qin Law" that I borrowed from the king, you go and read it first, when will I finish reading, when will I start to tell you." Li Si asked Meng An and Xiling to move the bamboo slips out of their carriage.

"No, master, I'm not even four years old, and you let me see so many bamboo slips, I can't move them." Fusu was shocked by the bamboo slips piled up like a hill in front of him, and complained to Li Si.

"You don't need to move, don't you still have these two strong laborers?" Li Si pointed to the skinny Meng An and the fat Xiling and said.

"But I haven't even finished learning the words!" Fusu wanted to continue to resist.

"It's okay, write it down first, wait for me to come and teach you, that's all for today, you can see it yourself here, I'll test you tomorrow." After speaking, he ignored Fusu's resentful eyes, and left the palace by himself, and even wrote out the "Cangjie Chapter", you still dare to say that you are illiterate, it is really a strange thing.

Fusu looked at these bamboo slips that had just been knitted not long ago, and wanted to cry without tears. I had to open it and look at it silently.

The first volume of bamboo slips is not a legal text, but a brief introduction to Qin law written by Li Si, and it seems that Li Si still cares for Fusu, a disciple. From the first volume of Fusu, I know that the laws of the original Qin Dynasty have been quite complete, in addition to the six laws of theft, thief, prisoner, arrest, miscellaneous, and tools in the criminal law, there are also economic laws such as fields, warehouses, and labor, and even special laws for managing the market, this is not the early stage of feudal society, how can there be such a thing? As more and more bamboo slips were opened, Fusu became more and more surprised by the laws of the Qin Dynasty, and when he read the two articles "interrogation of prisons" and "prison management" in the "Sealed Diagnosis Style" (see note), he actually saw that the provisions in it allowed judges to torture according to law, but they must be filed and the reasons must be indicated, and the torture of the case is classified as inferior, and the prisoners are not allowed to be intimidated, which is also too advanced! In the 21st century of the old time and space, the state of Qin more than 2,000 years ago actually stipulated that it was not allowed to intimidate prisoners, is this still a violent Qin?

Although judging by today's standards, there was no distinction between criminal law and civil law at that time, let alone the distinction between substantive law and procedural law, but if you analyze it with the logic of law generation, criminal law appeared first, which conforms to the law of the emergence and development of law, and has followed the legal framework of more than 2,000 years, you should be able to roughly understand how advanced the legal system of the Qin Dynasty was.

Note: The content of the materials unearthed by Yunmeng Qin Jian, it seems that the current legal history of the university only talks about the law of the Qin Dynasty "Six Laws", and does not involve much of the content of Yunmeng Qin Jian, or the teacher has told him, and I have already returned it to him.
