Chapter 797: Interpretation

Yang Reform is quite emotional, this matter is not big, it is not small, although it is not very common, but this is definitely a representative thing. The main point of this matter is not who gets the wages, but the moral and ethical issues of this society and this era are embodied in this case, that is, the issue of children suing their parents or parents suing their children.

In ancient times, parents sued their children, which was a great crime of rebellion, regardless of whether it was justified or not, parents went to the yamen to sue their children, and the children were all beaten first, and then the officials would be gone.

In this case, the young woman's mother-in-law used this as a threat to take away the wages that should have belonged to the young woman, and the young woman had nothing to do.

This incident is actually a conflict between the new morality and the old morality. It's a small thing, but it's definitely significant, or rather, it's a weather vanguard.

If there is no need for change in this era, it can be dealt with by the laws that extend from the old ethics and morality, and the young woman will inevitably not be able to get what belongs to her.

In this era, there is no need for change, and there will not be so many women working outside, and the probability of such a problem will be much lower. Yang Reform doesn't need to bother with this.

However, this era is an era that needs to be changed, and the laws extended by the old ethics and morals will inevitably conflict with the new moral and ethical values, and the contradictions between them must be resolved. To put it more simply and avant-garde, Yang's reform needs to be re-"legislated" and "interpreted", and what needs to be updated and changed is not only the content of morality and ethics, but also the laws that have been extended accordingly.

In this era, at the level of ethics, it is a set of things such as "kings, ministers, ministers, fathers, sons", which are suitable for the productive forces of today's era and have a good role in maintaining the stability of this era.

However, it is clear that this set of things can no longer be used in the world that Yang Reform is about to change, and it is undoubtedly funny to use the monarchy, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons in an industrialized society. Could it be that the machine spun around a few more times when it met his father? When you see your son coming, how many times do you turn around? This is obviously impossible.

With the advent of industrial civilization, the set of things of "kings, ministers, fathers, sons" has obviously fallen behind, and the laws that accompanied him are bound to fall behind.

Yang Reform is trying to promote "people's livelihood, civil rights" these things, whether good or bad, at least than the "monarch, minister, father, son" set of more suitable for the era of industrial civilization, social ethics and morality are bound to change with the development of productive forces, people's livelihood, civil rights These things are also with the times, of course, this is the ethical and moral category that Yang Reform chose for the Ming Dynasty.

People's livelihood represents people's right to life and survival, which is the most basic right; Civil rights, on the other hand, are broader rights, such as the right to a wage, such as the right to education.

Although Yang Reform has always said how he wants to reform, how he wants to reform, how to change, how to change, but in fact, when he encounters this kind of thing, it is enough for Yang Reform to have a headache. Even in the 10s of the 20th century, there were still many of them, which shows that the power of tradition is strong, and reform is really not as simple as words, so in the eyes of many people, it is not unreasonable to use violent revolution to promote the change of the times and the progress of society.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and Yang Reform feels that he is no longer cooking a small fresh, but controlling the material changes at the cellular level.

"Then how do you think the Qing family should be judged?" Yang asked Gengai. …,

“… ・・・Returning to Your Majesty・・・・・・・ this ......," Liu Zongzhou said with some embarrassment. If this matter is judged according to normal, it is estimated that the child will have to be beaten first, and even the woman in red will not be able to please him. This matter is as he said, even if the emperor's woman goes forward, this matter should not be brought to the court, and when it is in the court, the form will completely change. The woman's mother-in-law used this as a threat, and it was not unreasonable.

Yang Gai has already received the report of this matter, and he has been thinking about this problem, seeing that Liu Zongzhou is embarrassed, and knowing why Liu Zongzhou is embarrassed.

Yang Reform has also thought a lot about the solution to this matter, and feels that the only way is to re-"interpret the law" by himself, saying that Yang Reform is not so big and capable of legislating, at least he has to try the water first, and then say, in this kind of matter, even Yang Reform does not dare to say that he can fight against thousands of years of tradition by himself. Under this pressure, Yang Reform has to weigh it even with his current ability and prestige.

"Since it's inconvenient for the Qing family to say, then I'll talk about it, how to judge, according to my intentions......" Yang Reform said very neatly. Yang Gai didn't mind using his imperial power to re-"interpret the law" on this matter, which was exactly the right of his own emperor, especially the right of a strong emperor.

"Uh・・・・・・" Liu Zongzhou looked at the emperor in surprise, this was indeed beyond his expectations, the emperor would actually judge this matter, is it really for that woman? Didn't the emperor always plan and then act? How to be emotional today?

"This matter should be divided into two to look at, the matter of wages, I have always advocated self-reliance, the principle of who works and who reaps, whoever does the work, this salary is naturally to be paid to whom, and naturally the person who works should dispose of this wage, and there is absolutely no reason to let others collect the wages for their own work・・・・・・ Yang Reform said, this article is not too difficult, and it can be regarded as the basic understanding of society.

“… Another thing in this matter, is the problem of disobedience caused by wages, this matter, I have to say, I Daming will be guilty of disobedience very severely, is to teach the people to respect their elders, filial piety to their elders, in case of unfilial piety, but, my Da Ming's "Da Ming Law" is not a weapon used by others to blackmail, if it is disrespectful to the old, delusional to use the crime of disobedience to blackmail people, I want to say, I am afraid that he miscalculated...... if he can't be coerced, he really gets the yamen to sue, then ignore him・・・・・・ Yang Reform originally said it violently, but in the end, it was soft. When the new era has not arrived and the old system has not gone, Yang Reform still lacks confidence to do such a thing against the sky. The word filial piety runs through the history of China, and it is so difficult to change this history.

"Uh・・・・・・" Liu Zongzhou was dumbfounded, the emperor's words were so unexpected, he came to sue for disobedience and ignored it, this is an unprecedented thing!

Yang Gengai's face was also full of redness, this is probably the most ungrade sentence Yang Gengai has said since he became emperor, and he has already brewed a good feeling, but in the end, it still wilted.

“… ・・・Your Majesty・・・・・・" Liu Zongzhou was dumbfounded, although he was old-fashioned, he also knew that he was also the emperor's person, even if the emperor did something out of the ordinary, he should defend the emperor, not go against the emperor.

“… ・・・This matter, the Qing family will deal with it like this, the old woman, just to blackmail the young woman with disobedience, the Qing family must be beaten first, or the young woman will be convicted first and then the case will be tried, but the case can be tried first, and then the problem will be dealt with according to the conclusion, if it is really disobedient and unfilial, then the sentence will be resentenced, or the sentence will be increased, if there is no disobedience and unfilial piety, then there is no need to ignore him, just deal with the matter of wages... "Yang Gai said helplessly. An era is indeed not so easy to reverse! Encountering this kind of setback, Yang Reform is not the first time, although Yang Reform has overcome one difficulty after another, overcoming one problem after another, but every time he encounters new problems, encounters new difficulties, this helpless, powerless frustration, or makes Yang Reform very depressed. …,

“… ・・・Uh・・・・・・" Liu Zongzhou didn't come back to his senses for a while.

"In this matter, the Qing family will do it according to my wishes, but don't say that it is my meaning, the Qing family is the actual adjudicator and has greater discretion, so let's figure it out by myself・・・・・・," Yang said weakly.

“… ・・・Command! ・・・・・・" Liu Zongzhou thought about it, and still agreed, he is also the emperor's person, and now that the emperor wants to try the case like this, he can't refute the emperor's meaning, and he is also conflicted in his heart.

“… ・・・Your Majesty, forgive the minister, but because of the woman in red? ・・・・・・" Liu Zongzhou came back to his senses a little, and then gritted his teeth and asked, the emperor in his eyes has always been wise and martial, and he will not do anything ridiculous for a woman or a woman outside the palace, but when he comes back to his senses, the emperor seems to be very ridiculous......

“… ・・・No, if I were for her, I wouldn't have let her come out to do this..." Yang Reform is telling the truth, picking up this hornet's nest, Yang Reform also hesitated for a long time, Beijing City is a city with relatively concentrated industrialization, the workers and citizen classes are developing relatively quickly, if this aspect is not handled well, it will hinder the development of this class.

"Ahh ・・・・・・Your Majesty, that ・・・・・・" Liu Zongzhou was at a loss, the emperor actually denied it, not for that woman? What else do you say that you won't let her come out for the sake of her? Could it be that the emperor deliberately let the woman in red come out to find trouble? Looking at the emperor, it doesn't look like a lie! But ......, he really couldn't understand this, and Liu Zongzhou was at a loss.

"It's nothing, why did you do this, you might as well think about it more when you go back, and refer to it more, but things must be done according to my orders......" Yang Gai said.

"Command!" Liu Zongzhou said with a blank heart.
