At this time, an official of the Ministry of Punishment declared the guilt of the convicts and announced the execution of 56 of them.

"Oh, what a murder!" The onlookers were shocked.

Killing so many people at once, there were not enough executioners, and a squad of soldiers temporarily acted as executioners. When the heads of 56 casino and loan sharks fell to the ground, they shocked everyone at once.

Now, everyone knows that the court is serious.

Immediately, the whole city was plastered with notices.

The content of the notice is that from today onwards, all those involved in opening gambling and engaging in usury must surrender to the government within three days, and those who exceed three days will be killed without mercy and their families will be involved.

Anyone can make a report, and if the report is true, the court will reward one-tenth of the reported person's family property.

Any official who provides protection for those who open gambling and engage in usury will not be prosecuted by the imperial court if he surrenders himself within three days. Those who have been in business for more than three days are guilty of the same offence as those who open gambling and engage in usury.

The last one was put forward by Li Su. Wei Zheng was jealous and hateful and objected. Li Su believes that this operation is mainly aimed at those who open gambling games and engage in usury, and the scope of the attack should not be too broad, because that will cause turmoil in the imperial court and will also allow those officials to set up obstacles to this operation.

In the end, Wei Zheng accepted the prince's opinion.

Facts have proved that Li Su's opinion is correct. As soon as the officials saw that the imperial court did not pursue themselves, they took the initiative to cooperate with the actions of the imperial court in order to clear up their relationship with those criminals, and they had the evidence of those people in their hands, and the accuracy of the attack was too high.

The whole operation came to an end within a week. In this operation, a total of 5,644 people were arrested for opening gambling games and engaging in usury, of which 187 were killed, 1,859 were sentenced, and the total value of fines and confiscation of gambling funds and family property was 3.95 million yuan. Then, the imperial court carried out this special operation throughout the country.

Three months later, the campaign ended, and casinos and loan sharks were wiped out across the country.

In order to ensure that these cancers did not recur, the imperial court issued a decree that no one should participate in gambling in any form, that all the participants' family property should be confiscated, and that all organizers should be sentenced to death.

The death penalty is imposed on participants in public officials or those who provide protection.

If similar incidents occur in various localities, the chief officials of the prefectures and counties involved will all be dismissed, and if the circumstances are serious, their homes will be confiscated and confiscated.

Resolute action, strict laws, meticulous measures, and the accountability of officials have completely eradicated this cancer, which has existed for thousands of years.

This action has won wide acclaim from the masses.

Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.

Wei Zheng reported on the results of this special operation, and Li Shimin was very satisfied. He picked up a few books and said, "Your action has won the praise of the people, and there are hundreds of copies of the praise here, and there are more than a dozen copies of the people's table on the people's table.

This operation came to the conclusion that no matter what happens, as long as the imperial court makes up its mind, there is nothing that cannot be done. ”

Gao Jingming, the head of the household department, said: "Your Majesty, in this special operation, a total of 88.57 million yuan of fines and confiscated funds are imposed, which is almost equal to half of the annual taxes paid by the imperial court. ”

Li Shimin said in surprise: "So many?!" ”

Then he smiled and said: "This matter, it can't be done without my support, so let's leave me 2 million." It's time for the palace to be repaired. ”

After solving this matter, Li Su wanted to take a break. But Wei Zheng couldn't be idle, just a few days after he was born, he came to Li Su again.

Wei Zheng was born in poverty, and when he was a child, he had a younger sister, and the two had a deep relationship. But when his sister was 6 years old, he took her to play in the river at the edge of the village, and he went to make it easier for him, and in a short time, his sister disappeared.

In the distance, he saw a carriage and seemed to hear his sister's shouting. He hurried to chase after him, but he was only 8 years old, and where could he catch up with the speeding carriage.

This matter is Wei Zheng's eternal pain. Later, when the war was in chaos, he could no longer find his sister's whereabouts.

Not long ago, he saw a report of a missing person in Chang'an County, which aroused anger in his heart, and he was determined to go to war against the traffickers. So, he came to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Su also hated human traffickers very much, and in the original time and space, he hated human traffickers and wanted to kill them all.

However, it is much harder to fight human traffickers than it is to fight casinos and loan sharks. Even with the development of modern communication technology, it is difficult to solve this problem, let alone ancient times.

For solving this problem, Li Su has thought about it before. Yao Ming's famous advertising slogan "No buying, no killing!" It gave him an inspiration that the only solution to this problem is to eliminate the root cause of this problem.

Li Su told Wei Zheng that it was necessary to crack down on human traffickers, but it was useless to just crack down on them. You just catch the traffickers with a thousand cuts, and for the sake of high profits, there will still be people who take risks.

The only way to do this is to eliminate the market for human trafficking. As long as no one buys it, then no one will be a human trafficker.

Therefore, Li Su proposed a solution.

First, it is necessary to strengthen the household registration system, so that local governments can grasp the population situation in their jurisdictions.

Second, the buyer is guilty, and all buyers are sentenced to death, and the whole family sits together.

Third, if a family does want to adopt a child, there must be more than five families as a guarantee, and at the same time report to the government at or above the county level for approval, and the origin of the child or woman must be clear. Adopters must have the consent of the adoptee and be registered with the government.

In addition, anyone who adopts another person is guilty of human trafficking.

Fourth, the government implements a responsibility system to inspect the population situation in its jurisdiction at any time, and must find out the reasons for the population of unknown origin. If there is a problem in the jurisdiction, the local government is guilty of the same crime.

Sixth, all those involved in the case will be sentenced to death and all will be publicly executed.

Wei Zheng said: "All participants will be executed at Ling Chi. I don't believe it, there are still people who dare to sell people. ”

Wei Zheng wrote the piece and handed it over to Li Shimin.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin did not agree.

It turned out that in the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty, there were many slaves. It was not uncommon for the nobles to buy and sell slaves. Wei Zheng's opinion will not work, and it will be opposed by many people.

Not only that, but there were not a few nobles who bought scholars and maids from commoners, so everyone would not agree with Wei Zheng's opinion.

Wei Zheng was twisted, knelt in front of the Taiji Palace, and forced Li Shimin to accept his suggestion. Li Shimin had no choice but to openly discuss the matter in the early court.

Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Wei Zheng read his proposal in the main hall. Li Shimin asked: "What do you think of Wei Zheng's opinion, can you tell me?" ”
