Chapter 361 [Old Qin Chuqiang]
Whether a country is really strong or not, the superficial military strength and economic strength are actually virtual, and the reckless use of military force or the country's economy can usher in superficial prosperity, but if there is no legal escort, this superficial prosperity will sooner or later be a castle in the air, and it will eventually collapse one day.
Bai Dong is very clear about the current situation of Lao Qin, so he did not look forward to the 'rule of law', at this stage only the pursuit of a more perfect 'legal system', the implementation of trademark rights and patent rights is an attempt, after nearly three years of development, the current Lao Qin merchants have fully enjoyed the benefits of these two laws, with the Bai family trading company, Gan family trading company, Du family trading company business is getting bigger and bigger, gradually spread all over the Chinese countries, some far-sighted princes and doctors have begun to implement similar laws in their own countries, Tian Yinqi's Qi State and Zhao Chong's Zhao State are the most typical representatives.
When a law begins to be collectively observed by countries in a certain region, the construction of a legal community is not a dream. Now it's just that the influence of Qin is not enough, not only is it not strong enough militarily, but in terms of economy, except for a Bai family trading company to show its peers, the overall strength is not as good as an old economic power like Qi Chu, and the legal system of Qin is only in the embryonic state under the promotion of Bai Dong, far less than the Roman Empire in later generations, the huge empire across both sides of the Mediterranean Sea in later generations has a more complete legislative and judicial system, and the "Roman Law" and "Maritime Law" have even influenced European and Asian countries more than a thousand years later.
Wei Ying now respects and admires Bai Dong, and now he finally understands that this Bai Zi is not only showing off some tricks and tricks, but also his understanding of laws and regulations makes him stand on tiptoe and stare wide-eyed. How tricky should the matter of Childe be pious? Really cut off the nose of the eldest prince of the former dynasty? As Bai Dong said, in the future, he will die a miserable death; But if you don't cut it. It will also make the people laugh at him, the minister of law change, who has no responsibility.
It's a problem for anyone, but it's in the hands of this white man. It was easily solved? The courtiers and people of the old Qin Manchu Dynasty did not see a reckless or lack of responsibility Zuo Shuchang, the Zuo Shuchang who practiced the law was very poisonous, as if he had become awake after a sleep, and learned to reflect on his body three times a day? He actually took the initiative to write to the monarch of the country, saying that 'the Dharma is the important weapon of the country, and cannot be held in the hands of one person', what does this mean?
Under Bai Dong's guidance, Wei Ying quickly understood the relationship between legislation and law enforcement, and as the Minister of Law Change, he should be a law enforcer. Legislative ideas can be proposed, but if legislation and law enforcement are shoulder-to-shoulder, it is inevitable that problems of one kind or another will arise, and there will be no way out at that time.
If it was in the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, Bai Dong would probably be difficult to make a powerful minister accept this kind of thinking, but now in the pre-Qin and Wei Ying, who are contending with a hundred schools of thought, is an outstanding figure in the Legalist family for a hundred years, and his Bai Zi is even more important in the Qin State.
One know-how is all the know-how, and the foundation of the Legalist has been immersed in the martingale for many years. It soon became clear that the establishment of a legislative body in Lao Qin was definitely a milestone progress for the Legalists, and that the success of Lao Qin's reform of the law was certainly his pursuit, but wouldn't it be better to improve the legislative process and fill the gaps in the Legalists? He is Wei Ying, the active Legalist Weizi!
Wei Ying's solemn proposal coupled with Bai Dong's backing. Yingquliang and the Manchu courtiers were naturally happy to see it, so a legislative department with Yingquliang as the nominal name, Bai Dong, Wei Ying, Gan Long, and Du Zhi as the permanent ministers of law was established, which was very different from the parliament of the Greeks and the senate of the Romans. The Legislative Department is only engaged in the work of legislation and the interpretation of decrees, and is a supplement to the monarch rather than a confrontation. The reform activities of the Counsellor and the Wei Ying are still relatively independent, and there is no subordinate relationship between them.
The establishment of the Legislative Department made Bai Dong breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, he had this idea for a long time, firstly, he was busy with all things and had never been idle, and secondly, he always had an inexplicable sense of fear about the royal power and monarchy in the feudal era, thinking that the implementation of this matter would be very complicated and that he had to make a lot of preparations, but he forgot that he was already a white man who even had to avoid three points of Yingquliang at this time; I also forgot that the sons and kings of this era were struggling to find a good medicine for governing the country, and compared with the Confucian and Mohist ideas of governing the country, it is actually more reliable to improve legislation and make legislation and law enforcement relatively independent; Even more forgetful, as early as three hundred years ago, Guan Zhong had done this kind of thing. It's just that Guan Zhong in order to quickly concentrate power, the legislative power in his own body, although in exchange for higher efficiency, but can not cultivate a living legislature, and when he dies, Qi State fell into a chaotic situation of legislation and law enforcement, often the monarch can pat his head in the morning to issue a decree, and at night feel inappropriate, it may be withdrawn, and in the law enforcement problems encountered, there is no authority to explain, it is easy to cause 'law enforcement errors' and 'out-of-phase law enforcement'.
In order to show respect for the Legislative Division, Wei Ying is very 'generous' to submit the content of the second change to the Legislative Department for review, in fact, the content of the second change will not change in any way, but the Legislative Department will make a certain interpretation of the law, for example, in the implementation of the greatest obstruction to the 'change of customs' law will bear the brunt; the first result is not to change anything, but to be more reasonable and scientific implementation, the law enforcement work of Wei Yang is actually more beneficial than disadvantageous, and in this case' In the process of judicial interpretation, the intensity and methods of law enforcement will be more cultural and scientific, in short, in the process of implementation, it is not allowed to be 'anti-people, anti-social', for example, Bai Dong's proposal for the different treatment of ethnic minority brothers, this is to be written into the interpretation, the punishment for those who violate the law, also in the interpretation of the 'labor sentence' and 'fine', as long as the opponent is not a party and a society, maliciously attacking the old Qin government to incite chaos, the punishment must not involve human life!
This kind of change makes the Confucian Mojia peasant workers run to tell each other to celebrate each other, the pre-Qin era is too clear, to govern the country and change the law of the first use of the law, but the biggest problem of the Legalist is that the law enforcement is too strict, the legislative power is often concentrated in the person who changes the law, and now Bai Dong solves the matter of Gongzi's piety, and adds up to the power of Bai Zi, so that Wei Ying's patience and temperament seriously think about the real purpose of the law and the relationship between legislation and law enforcement. This is really a layer of window paper, and once Wei Ying, who was originally limited by historical knowledge, accepted more modern legal ideas, he immediately had a sense of enlightenment. Of course, this is also what Bai Dong has gained from his prestige and prestige in the past few years. If he was still the big boy in Yishi Village, it would never have caused Wei Ying's thinking. Even if Lao Ganlong proposes it, Wei Ying will most likely just think that someone has a fart.
With the personal participation of the left chief of the 'humble valley'. According to the new interpretation, Gongziqian and Bu Rong were punished with fines, and the old fiefdoms and the Rong people of the Western Regions who gathered to oppose the implementation of the new law were either fined or sentenced to hard labor, and only the leader would be sentenced to imprisonment without harming their lives.
Soon after the judicial interpretation was issued, Wei Ying issued an order to cancel Gongziqian's execution. Gongzi's pious nose was saved, he didn't need to lock himself up as an otaku anymore, and then wait for his nephew to run out and falsely accuse Shang Ying, who had become a Shang Jun; Wei Ying's reputation was also preserved. He simply became a representative of self-examination and self-examination, vigorously promoted the establishment of the Legislative Department, and examined the laws and regulations he drafted with a highly responsible attitude, improved the judicial interpretations, and immediately implemented them.
The people of Huaxia are just too kind, and as soon as the new judicial interpretation came out, the complaints against Wei Ying immediately turned into gratitude and virtue, and Bai Dong didn't feel embarrassed when he saw it. What a good people, they don't ask too much, they have worked hard for generations, as long as the rulers are a little nicer to them. They will be rewarded tenfold. This was true 2,000 years ago, and it is still true 2,000 years later, and now he is one of the rulers. If we can't force our China and benefit our people, we will really waste this opportunity given by God.
settled the matter of Wei Ying. Then I have to satisfy that 'vampire' Zhao Liang, although this product is more ruthless. It's also a person who can do practical things. Guanzhongzhi leans between Jingwei and Wei, first to treat floods, and then to get water conservancy, are you afraid that there will be no more fertile land? In addition to distributing these fields to the people, they should also be prepared to give them to the Rong people of the Western Regions who are willing to come to Lao Qin to settle down, it is only less than a year, and the Rong people who have tasted the sweetness of Lao Qin have been unable to give up such a happy life, they call friends and promote the benefits of Lao Qin everywhere, and now even the most distant city of Zhurong has people who come to Lao Qin, at first they are still doing business and working to study, and after a long time, it is inevitable that they will have a sense of belonging to Lao Qin.
It is difficult for these Rong people who live in pursuit of water and grass to settle down, but once they settle down, they will be deeply infatuated with this land, so the most important thing for the Legislative Department now is to quickly introduce several laws and regulations on the settled Rong people, such as the "Rong Ren Tian Nationality Law", "Rong Xia Marriage Law", "Rong Gong Security Law", etc., etc., the Western Regions rules Guanzhong Ding, Guanzhong rules Lao Qin Qiang, Lao Qin people don't be unconvinced, who makes it difficult for the minority brothers to live in a small population? We Chinese people should have a mind like the sea and closely unite these minority brothers! Lao Qin's daughters marry the Rong family to pay money, and the daughters of the Rong family have all kinds of welfare protection when they enter the Qin family's house, and don't want to be a mother-in-law, this is our old Qin's mind. Bai Dong actually understands better than anyone else that with such an 'unfair' decree and ethnic tilt policy, at most two generations, the Rong people in the Western Regions will become the descendants of Huaxia with red seedlings, and the second brother also said that he would establish another land in the Western Regions, what other land? At that time, the Western Regions will be the sacred and indivisible land of Lao Qin, and whoever is not convinced will be beaten!
There are faint rumors that Bai Dong is going to be named 'Xijun', Yingquliang is very careful, and deliberately releases the wind to see the reaction of Bai Dong and the ministers, Bai Dong promotes the change of the law and navigates the Western Regions, but they are all hiding behind the scenes, which makes Yingquliang unable to see through the true thoughts of his brother for a while, if he rashly named him Xijun, in case Bai Dong doesn't like it, it will be unbeautiful. In addition, Lao Qin has not had a domestic feudal matter for many years since Baili Xi, and Lao Ganlong is the third old minister has never received this reward, and it is not good to act lightly if he does not see the attitude of the ministers clearly.
According to Bu Rongyi's statement, what do you care about so much? Uncle Bai should be a marquis! In this kind of thing, men are always rational, and women are always emotional.
When Yingquliang was hesitating, the secret letter from the bird slippery west arrived, although it was sent by the 'Flying Eagle Point' of the Baijia Trading Company, but it was a direct letter to Liyang Palace, and a letter to Baijiazhuang, all of which were sealed with wild goose feathers on the iron mud, indicating that 100,000 were urgent and important secrets!
"Handan is weak, and he actually asked my Qin State for help? What kind of person does he think he is, his Mo family loves to fight this kind of inexplicable battle, does he want to pull my Qin State into the water? Why did this matter involve the fourth brother flea girl again? ”
Looking carefully at the contents of the letter, Yingquliang's face changed greatly.
