Li Yibai finished talking about the reasons for the reform and the benefits of the reform. ※% and after commendation to reformers. He began to talk about the content of the reform.

'We started with two laws, the first is the Good Faith Law and the second is the Intellectual Property Protection Law. ’

'We also want to protect private property, and no official can confiscate or rob the people's property for any reason.'

We're also going to have to enforce a tax law, and people can only pay their taxes to me." All other exorbitant taxes may be refused to be paid.

If an official dares to force the people to pay exorbitant taxes, the people can report it directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When Li Yibai said this, those officials chuckled in their hearts, knowing that these harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were their gray income. In doing so, Li Yibai reduced their income.

However, they were forced by Li Yibai's strong pressure, and they didn't dare to say anything.

Li Yibai added, "I will use my private money to help everyone increase their income." Your income will be doubled. ’

Li Yibai knew what they were thinking in their hearts, and it was also beneficial for him to appease them in this way, so that they would not fail to implement the reform. At the same time, Li Yibai subsidized their money, and he had already earned it back from selling high-tech products.

'King Wu is wise. ’

'King Wu is understanding, it is really an honor for us to have King Wu as our boss. ’

Hearing Li Yibai say that he would raise his salary, these officials all looked happy.

The implementation of the tax law is already a fierce reform. It is necessary to know that the implementation of the tax law and the awareness of citizens of Lin'an to pay taxes are very beneficial to their awareness of citizenship.

Li Yibai said again. Lin'an also wants to set up a legislative council. The Legislative Council consisted of a well-known squire. Baume & Mercier. Lang Zhong is in charge, and at the same time, some of the more intelligent people in the people can also be in charge. They need to be elected and approved by me if they want to join the Legislative Council. There can be no officers in the Legislative Council. As well as relatives of officials. ’

'What is the Legislative Council?' Please explain, King Wu. Sun Zhixian of Qiantang asked.

'Daddy, let me explain. Ryugo said.

Li Yibai nodded.

Ryugo continued, 'The Legislative Council is the one who can make laws. Although the king of Wu enacted several large laws. However, there are still some laws that we need to revise ourselves, and the actual situation of our Lin'an is only clear to us Lin'an people, so the Legislative Council established by our Lin'an people is specially designed to formulate laws.

The laws enacted by the Legislative Council are enforced by everyone, and even officials cannot disobey them. The law is the divine decree, the supreme law.

In the past, we relied on morality. Rely on the rule of man to manage. In the future, we will have to rely on the law. We have to have a legal basis for everything we do.

If a citizen breaks the law and they are caught, the official also has to read out what law he has violated in order to punish the crime. ’

Li Yibai nodded, "That's right. Even I have to obey the law. Do you understand? There is a saying that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people. In the past, this sentence was for fun, and no one would believe it. And that's what we demand.

Of course I have some privileges, such as the right of pardon, after all, I am a prince. He is the supreme ruler of Lin'an, but I also have to be strict with myself, and if you find that I have violated too many laws, you can also impeach me collectively.

We also need to have an independent judiciary.

Now there are several laws.

Next up. We will separate the prison of the county government. It became an independent judiciary. For the sake of convenience, it will be called a police station in the future.

The body that supervises officials is called the Public Prosecutor's Office.

There are also courts above the police station and the prosecutor's office.

This is also a bit similar to our Great Song Dynasty's Criminal Division. But the Great Song Dynasty's criminal department had no authority to arrest officials. As long as there is evidence from the prosecutor's office and a summons from the court, the officers must cooperate with the police station's arrest. ’

'Ahh The officials were shocked. This independent judiciary is so powerful. They can all arrest officials, they are more powerful than Yushi.

Do not be afraid. If you are not guilty, you don't have to worry. They have to pay attention to evidence when they arrest you. If you are wronged, you can call in a defense lawyer.

It's not that they arrested you and you ended up in jail. You will still be judged, and only the court will convict you. You can go to jail.

At the same time, our courts have a jury system. This system was imported from the United States. The jury consisted of 9-57 passers-by who were not related to the case and were morally credited.

They watch the presentation of evidence between the defendant and the plaintiff as well as the legal arguments. Finally, they voted anonymously to decide whether the defendant was guilty or not.

And the judge only decides on the sentencing. The judge does not have the power to convict. ’

'Ahh The officials were stunned again, 'Isn't this handing over the power of life and death to a group of people?' ’

Li Yibai said lightly, "That's right. Only in this way can it be more just. If you think about it, you have all encountered some unjust, false and wrongful cases, but it was only caused by the subjective will of the judge. At the same time, you have also encountered what many people consider guilty, and it must be more credible. ’

That's right. Sun Zhixian from Qiantang said, "I have dealt with a case before, but because the thief used to steal things and was caught many times, he went to the scene in a later murder case, so I decided that he was a murderer." But in the end, he was executed, but the original culprit was a Jiangyang thief, and I still regret it, and many people said at the time that the thief could not have killed anyone. He's just a petty thief, he doesn't have the guts to kill.

I've always regretted it. I wronged him like that. The evidence at the time was not sufficient, but I always thought in my heart that it must be him. Ay. I did it wrong. Every time I think about it, I feel sorry for him. ’

Li Yibai continued, "This is how our judicial system is built. In this way, the society is fair and just, everyone lives in the sun, is protected, and has a sense of security, so that they can be happy.

At the same time, the Legislative Yuan also has the ability to veto the government budget.

The government has to make an annual report to the Legislative Yuan and me.

The government's major budgets and major construction projects must also be submitted to the Legislative Yuan for approval. The competent official must state your ideas to the Legislative Yuan and strive for the support of the Legislative Yuan. Get approved.

But. Considering the immaturity of the current Legislative Yuan. And some new things that you don't necessarily understand. For the time being, the major construction projects I have decided on will not be subject to the approval of the Legislative Yuan. But you need to report the annual report to the Legislative Yuan.

The Legislative Yuan is equivalent to the representative of the taxpayers. They paid us taxes and we need to be accountable to them. This is equivalent to us working for them, being their servants. ’

He is their servant. There was a stir among the officials.

Li Yibai smiled faintly, "That's right. You may not be able to understand the truth for a while, but gradually you will understand.

The truth here is deep.

Think about it, are there a large number of you who are from the common people, and there are still relatives and friends who are from the common people. ’

'yes. I am, I am a Jinshi in the Zhenghe period. Then he was arranged to be an official in Lin'an. I came from a poor background, and it was all because of my hard work to get to where I am today. ’

An official said.

Yes, most of us are from among the common people. Even if there are some nobles from noble backgrounds, as I said earlier, who can guarantee that their children and grandchildren will always be officials. What if one day the family falls into the middle of the road, and the children and grandchildren fall into trouble and become common people?

At the end of the day, there are always very few lucky people.

We now treat the people in this way, let the people supervise us, we serve the people, and this will continue for our children and grandchildren, so that the people will always live happily. You say it's good for us to do this. Still not good. ’

Hearing Li Yibai say this, these officials suddenly realized. The mouth suddenly opened.

Just now, many people were still depressed, thinking, don't we have the privilege of being officials? We work hard to be officials just to be a master and an official, and now that we don't have the prestige of an official, we want to be a servant, can this not be uncomfortable?

But now not only are they not sad, but they are also cheering up one by one.

'King Wu, what you said is so good. As long as the children and grandchildren can live well. I'm willing to do anything. It's nothing. ’

'yes. I would too. As soon as you say this, I have a clearer understanding of the concept of building a new Great Song Dynasty. ’

'yes. The benefits of this are too great. That's deep enough. Why we can't think of it. King Wu, you really deserve to be a god. ’

Li Yibai waved his hand, "I'm very happy that everyone can understand what I said." We can't just talk about it and don't practice it, these institutions will be set up right away. Long Wu assigned tasks in a while, and our institutions were immediately established. ’

Li Yibai's meeting was over. The meeting took four hours. Li Yibai's mouth was dry. He took a sip of peanut milk in one go, feeling refreshed and comfortable.

'Don't be tired, husband. Miss Gong Er said softly.

'I'm fine. The construction of the Great Song Dynasty is important. Whether or not our people's children and grandchildren can live happily depends on our people. ’

Li Yibai said quietly.

Soon, Long Wu and these officials began to discuss the construction of police stations, the construction of procuratorates, the construction of courts, and the construction of legislative yuan.

Judges are required to be well-versed in the law and of high moral standing without any moral defects.

They chose a few respected Confucians, as well as a few highly respected monks.

These people listened to their explanations and were happy to do it.

In the end, the host of Lingyin Temple was recognized by Li Yibai, who was highly respected, kind-hearted, and full of poetry and books, and talented. He also has a strong memory and learns the law quickly.

Li Yibai appointed him as a lifelong ** official of the highest court in Lin'an.

At the same time, other low-level court judges have also been chosen. These are talented people who stand up for justice. Some of them are squires, and some are langzhong.

Li Yibai also emphasized to Long Wu, "We also need to improve the status of the master." Let them become lawyers. Our schools are also going to offer a law major to train lawyers.

We must give priority to the establishment of the rule of law. Our science and technology can be introduced more slowly, but we must keep up with the rule of law. We must let the people enjoy the benefits of governing the country according to law. ’

Li Yibai went to the United States again and moved a university here, and at the same time brought some excellent university professors. Lin'an University was founded, and he recognized it as its president.

He told the teachers, you have crossed over. Although the teachers were taken aback, their families followed. So they're still willing to stay here, because there's a lot of people here who need to be educated. At the same time, the environment here is beautiful, the cultural environment is very good, and there is no shortage of modern facilities.

Li Yibai recognized the president of the university. At this time, Yibin's steel plant and natural gas fields were operating normally. The elevator heard that the university had been built. He hurried back. and immediately met Li Yibai and asked to become a professor.

Li Yibai appointed him as the director of the university to manage all the affairs of the university. He's busy.

At the same time as the establishment of the legal system, Li Yibai's propaganda tools did not stop for a moment. The radio station has been promoting several laws promulgated by Li Yibai, and at the same time explaining the function of an independent judiciary and where the people will go in lawsuits in the future. How to do it.

Li Yibai also set up a film screening team to publicize this knowledge in the form of open-air film screenings, and the response was very good.

Moreover, Li Yibai has built the radio broadcast to every village in Lin'an. The villagers can hear Li Yibai's propaganda in the fields and on the kang at home, and because they have no other media, of course, they must listen to Li Yibai's legal knowledge every day. Gradually, they also understood what Li Yibai said.

And because of the powerful propaganda ability of broadcasting, they only believed Li Yibai's words, and they were already confused about the emperor.

In their eyes, Li Yibai is the emperor.

They opened their mouths and closed their mouths to mention only King Wu.

Soon the judiciary was all in place. But Li Yibai still needs a lot of talent. He first selected those who were well learned and intelligent from among the factory workers to serve as officials in the judiciary.

Of course, in order to take care of all levels of society, he also selected many people from among the scholars.

All of these people had attended legal training at Lin'an University before they went.

Li Yibai asked them to swear in front of the law books that they must not violate the law and must lead by example.

Of course, when taking the oath, they also swore to Li Yibai at the same time.

'You're doing a great job. You are all the elites of Lin'an. In the future, the heavy responsibility of the Lin'an legal system will be shouldered by you. You must not fail the trust I have and the trust of the people. ’

'Yes, His Royal Highness King Wu. We must take to heart His Highness's instructions. ’

They said in unison.

Each of them was dressed in black with a white collar, and looked clean and sacred. Their clothes distinguish them from those of officials.

These clothes were all brought by Long Wu from the United States, and they were specially made according to the clothes of American judicial personnel.

Each of them also felt different from each other because of wearing this dress, and felt more mission and cohesion. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
