Chapter 291 Laws and Practices

I sat down on the chair next to Quanjue's desk and said: "You have all seen it, this is the benefits of natural science to human beings, whether it is military or civilian, it is inseparable from the development of science and technology, Lin'an University and the Royal Academy of Sciences should become the frontier base of the scientific and technological revolution, I plan to launch a scientific and technological revolution from next year, this revolution is bound to change everyone's perception of the world, will bring earth-shaking changes to my dynasty, and will also become the key to whether our dynasty can move towards ZTE." ”

Shi Yanzhi said: "Your Majesty, in this way, why worry about the immortality of Mongolia." ”

I smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, although the Mongols are currently the number one enemy of our dynasty, what I mean by Zhongxing is not completely to eliminate Mongolia, the recovery of mountains and rivers is only the basis of Zhongxing, and the Zhongxing I am talking about is to let my Great Song Dynasty stand at the top of the world for a long time." ”

"The pinnacle of the world."

"That's right, my land of China was once called the Celestial Empire, and the Celestial Empire should be in a leading position in all aspects, to achieve this step, science and technology are indispensable, and the development of science and technology is the guarantee of leadership, and education is the foundation of leadership."

"Your Majesty's talent is strategic, and the ministers can't wait." Shi Yanzhi praised from the bottom of his heart, among the generals of their older generation, they only want to recover the old mountains and rivers of the past, as for what is the peak of the world and have no concept, and the so-called Celestial Empire style in the early Tang Dynasty is known to everyone, I take the Celestial Empire as a metaphor, they can understand it better,

"Shi Aiqing, you can visit the military sand table production in the laboratory in a while, although it is not high-tech, but I think it can become one of the compulsory contents of the military university."

With the completion of the restructuring of the forbidden army, coupled with the successful trial production of muskets earlier, I have a certain confidence in the elimination of the so-called invincible Mongolian iron cavalry, even if the Mongols are strong, the master of cold weapons will not be the enemy of firearms, I believe that the power of science and technology will be far greater than the power of warriors, this is as an officer in the United States said in the future, the Chinese scientist can not be allowed to return to China, he can at least be worth three divisions of troops,

The year is approaching, the departments are busy and idle, the busiest is to count the household department, the statistical reports of various data must be completed at the end of the year, so that every day to work overtime to catch up with all kinds of reports, the ministry is busy with the year-end evaluation of officials, the Ministry of Rites Ma Tingluan is also not easy, arrange for the minister stationed abroad to return to Beijing to report on his work, it is also extremely energy-consuming, among the original imperial court ministries, only the Privy Council and the Zhongshu Province because their main work is divided by the Military Affairs Yuan and the Government Affairs Yuan and appear very leisurely, these two departments are very clear, it will not take long, They will be swallowed up by new departments,

Compared with the previous few months, I was also a lot more leisurely, originally I was still worried about the battle of Gundam in Sichuan to attack Huai and Jian Xiaofu, but due to the harsh climate in Sichuan this year, and the Mongols strengthened their defenses, Gundam and others only implemented a small plan and then stopped.

For a few days in a row, Fang Ling and I traveled all over the scenic spots of Lin'an, and bought a lot of items, food, use, all kinds of things, Fang Ling wants to go back to the clan to visit relatives, and it is natural to bring more gifts, and Chengwei Dart Bureau itself is an ancient logistics company, for ordinary people, these luggage is seriously overweight, but in their eyes it is extremely easy,

Of course, I also installed a jar of newly brewed high liquor for Fang Ling, this kind of high liquor may be the most sought-after goods in Lin'an City recently, in Tongle Building, only one jar of liquor is provided every night, and each table of customers is limited to one bowl, Xiao Tian told me, this is the hunger sales method he learned from me, in fact, the first batch of liquor brewed by Quanjue is only ten jars, it is conceivable that the business of Tongle Lou is so good these days, no less than when monosodium glutamate was just launched,

Reluctantly, Fang Ling said goodbye to me, took a large bag and a small bag, and returned to his hometown for the New Year with the main personnel of the Chengwei Dart Bureau, the Spring Festival army has been there since ancient times, ancient people can only rely on horses, carriages, and even on foot, the time spent on the road is much longer, although the number of people who move is smaller, but its hardship is more excessive, especially when encountering bad weather, the hard work is even more difficult to say, but even if it is difficult, going home for the New Year is certain, this is the attachment of Chinese to home, for thousands of years, Unchanged,

On the night of sending Fang Ling away, I received an investigation report on Jiang Yundi from the Dragon's Tooth Intelligence Department, and since Lu Xiufu was transferred to the Military Affairs Yuan, part of the work of the Dragon's Tooth Intelligence Department was handed over to Yuan Jian, Lan Yu, and Shen Mo.

"Official, Mr. Yuan asks to see you." I was just about to give instructions to play the folds, so I listened to Xiao Qi's report,

"Yes, Xuan."

Yuan Thorn came here at night, naturally he would not be untargeted,

"Your Majesty, this is an investigation report on Jiang Yundi's case." Yuan Jian finished saluting and handed me a report,

After reading it, I roughly understood the reason,

Jiang Yundi has been an official for many years, has not been able to buy a house in Lin'an, his wife is the daughter of a large family in Lin'an City, quite dissatisfied with this, often use the excuse to say that the new site project of Lin'an University is the first time that Jiang Yundi has been in the household department for many years, and just after I strictly ordered the anti-corruption and clean government, Jiang Yundi was worried that there would be no chance in the future, so he relentlessly accepted a set of houses and utensils from the contractor.

Yuan Jian saw that I had finished reading it and said, "Your Majesty, although this matter is very clear, the only strange thing is that the chief treasurer of the contractor, that is, the person who gave the bribe, died of excessive drinking a few days ago. ”

I was a little surprised: "Drinking too much. ”

"Exactly."

"The concentration of liquor on the market is not very high, how can it be."

"Your Majesty, the only hobby of the big shopkeeper is drinking, a few days ago, it coincided with his sixty-eighth birthday, he drank a few glasses in excitement, and then left the west that night, according to the news obtained by the dragon's teeth, the doctor who treated the big shopkeeper said that the body of the big shopkeeper had long been hollowed out by wine, and it was a miracle to live to be sixty-eight years old."

"In this way, it can be regarded as a normal death."

"From what we know so far, it is indeed true."

It seems that everything is reasonable, and there is often the truth behind the appearance of no loopholes, this is my experience of reading detective novels in later generations, if there is another hidden secret, then what is the purpose, Jiang Yundi is just a household langzhong, and he is also low-key, and he almost has no bad relations with others, is it because I am neurotic,

I thought about it for a while, but I still said, "Sir, let's continue to investigate this matter secretly, I always feel that it is too much of a coincidence." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister understands." Yuan Jian said, "Your Majesty, when the imperial history Chen Yizhong didn't say that his news came from. ”

I shook my head, but then I thought about it again: "It was said that it was an anonymous report, sir, is it?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is just guessing whether it will have something to do with Lord Chen."

"Chen Yizhong is also an important member of the DPRK, and he can't get along with a little Langzhong Jiang Yundi, Jiang ,,,,,。"

"Yes, Your Majesty, at the beginning of October, Jiang Shangshu once folded the Dao, the Taishi said that it was a dynasty, which was really against the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, although His Majesty did not express it when he said it, but I think that Jia Nidao will hold a grudge, plus Jiang Shangshu and Jia Nidao are always resentful, with Jia Nidao's heart, he is bound to be angry and seek to chase him, and Chen Yizhong was recommended by Jia Yidao to enter the dynasty and be promoted, and the connection may be true."

"Well, it's just that I believe that Jiang Wanli is not involved, so what can Jia Qidao do."

"Your Majesty, the minister also believes in Jiang Shangshu's personality, although our dynasty has no joint responsibility, but Jiang Shangshu is dedicated to Cheng Zhu Lixue, and he does not allow himself to be unclean, and he does not allow the surrounding people to be filthy, Jiang Yundi is his own nephew, if the minister is Lord Jiang, he can only resign to be innocent."

"Well, sir's words are reasonable."

The interrogation report of Dali Temple was reported at the next court meeting, with the joint signatures of Jia Yidao, the Criminal Department and the Yushitai, and the results of the investigation of the Longya Intelligence Department are the same, the bribe-taking items and bribe-givers are basically the same, and Jiang Yundi himself also admitted to the bribes.

"Your Majesty, how should this case be handled." Dali Temple Qing Qin Midao,

"Qin Aiqing, what should I do according to the laws of my dynasty."

"Back to Your Majesty, the law of our court can punish the death penalty for embezzlement and bribery cases where the amount of money reaches 1,500 taels or more."

"How much bribes Jiang Yundi received?"

"Your Majesty, because the bribes Jiang Yundi received are mainly houses, according to the current housing prices in Lin'an City, plus some of the furniture, the total price is between 1,300 taels and 1,400 taels."

When I heard that the total value of Jiang Yundi's bribes was more than 1,300 taels, I saw that Jiang Wanli's nervous expression eased slightly.

"In addition to this time, does Jiang Yundi have any other illegal acts?"

"Your Majesty, after verification, there is none."

"Well, Qin Aiqing, the bribery case of 1,300 taels, according to the laws and practices of our dynasty, how will your Dali Temple sentence you."

"Your Majesty, this ,,,,,。"

I saw Qin Mi muttering his words, and said loudly: "Qin Mi, speak." ”

Qin Mi hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the law, you can be sentenced to fifteen years or more in prison, if it is according to the usual practice, this, this bribery case of more than 1,000 taels will basically not, and it will not be sentenced." Speaking of which, Qin Mi's voice became smaller and smaller,

I immediately understood the reason why Qin Mi flickered his words, it was the way I asked the question that made him feel embarrassed, because disposing according to law and disposing according to routine are completely different results.

More than 1,000 taels of silver in later generations totaled about 500,000 yuan, for the ministers of the court, it was nothing at all, and in the court where [***] was prevalent in the past, it may be regarded as a "clean official".

I said with an awe-inspiring face: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have listened to me, I don't want to care about what the previous practice was, but in the future, my dynasty must try and judge cases according to law, whether it is Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, or the government at all levels, if you can't judge the case according to law, you will be punished by the law." ”

"Yes, your ministers obey."

"Your Majesty, Chenjiang Wanli has a book to play."
