The old courtyard smiled coldly: "Oh, the old man still thinks: You mean, Keqing is like the chief of the reform." 》x.”

When Zong Zhengling heard it, he stood up from the seat in shock, pointed to the old courtyard and said, "That's what you said, I didn't say it." ”

The old courtyard was looking at each other and raised his voice: "You are obviously hinting: Although Keqing's law enforcement and killing Fuxing is for the country, it offends the authority of the nobles for thousands of years and violates the law of the ancestors, so Keqing should be sentenced according to Zongzhengfu's judgment, and the lord can save the country according to Keqing's great merit?" Yes, why hide your head and tail so much, it's really an old problem that doesn't change. After speaking, he looked at Qin Gong and was silent.

Under the eyes of the old courtyard, Qin Gong had to speak, but he couldn't hold the old courtyard standing in the end, so he dragged out his tone and said slowly: "This-, this old thing in the past--, because I want to be ashamed of His Holiness, well, the old courtyard!" Isn't it first--put? The widow thinks that the decree may have something else to mean - isn't it? The widow looks at it, is it still going back, back, this, this legal power. The old courtyard is right, what do you think? Yes! ”

The old courtyard rolled his eyes, turned around, and nodded silently after facing the hall and turning his back to the lord.

Only then did Duke Qin breathe a sigh of relief, and after scanning the hall, he asked, "Is there anyone who is willing to say anything about the right to law?" ”

Gan Long stood up and arched his hand: "The old minister has something to say." Lord! After this incident, the minister thought: The government governs the country with civil law, and the Zongzheng government uses the law, which is a thousand-year-old rule, and it is impossible to change it for a while. Since it is impossible, it is necessary to start with trade-offs. The minister thought of a general idea, that is: the first priority of legal power is balance. The Zongzheng Mansion can no longer be independent and without checks and balances, so it is mentioned that when the nobles are involved with the people, they should be jointly tried with the government, and then the results should be reported to the government. if human life is not involved, the final judgment shall be made by the Tsukasa Mansion; If human life is involved, you will decide it yourself, so that similar cases can be prevented from happening again. By analogy, the government's enforcement of civil law cannot be arbitrary, and there should be checks and balances. This is just a one-shot view! ”

Tsukasa Zai Du Zhi, without waiting for Gan Long's seat, then stood up and arched his hand and said, "Lord! The minister agreed. Danchen was also inspired by this case, although Fuxing should be killed, but a noble son, who should have contributed to the country, but because he had nothing to do, in order to pass the boring time, wantonly violated the law and died, this should be the loss of the lord. If these aristocratic children who can at least be literate and able to write can be seen simply, have talent and ability, and put them in the appropriate place to serve the lord! They will be busy because they have something to do, their boss to manage, and they will have rules to follow, and they will no longer come to endanger the people and violate Qin's laws without anything to do. What's more, the lord's rich country and strong Qin are in need of a large number of knowledgeable people to serve, so why not recruit all the noble children who have nothing to do and send them to various places to implement the first order? Lord! ”

Du Zhi's voice just fell. Zongzheng Ling stood up and objected: "Lord! Cannot. The meaning of Tsukazai sounds good and tempting, but if you think about it carefully, it is even more dangerous. Lord! For thousands of years, the aristocracy enjoyed exclusive privileges and was always on top. If these nobles are suddenly put in the local area and work together with the head of Qian, some will even become subordinates of the head of Qian. Letting a nobleman listen to the call of a Qiantou will not make the nobleman feel uncomfortable for a while and anger his superiors, then there will be a backfire situation. ”

In order to use the rebellious psychology to stimulate the lord and Gongsun Marting, Gongsun Jia suddenly interjected: "Lord! Zongzheng ordered this statement to seek the country for the old man. Because there were 18,438 men in Qin, only 5,430 of them were in official positions. In addition to the 1,300 people who participated in the reclamation and the resettlement, there are still 11,708 people who are idle. Subtract the management of fiefs and estates and those who are unwell, at least 10,000 people. If these tens of thousands of nobles are suddenly sent to the local government, not only will the government decree be worried, but the ministers will also be worried. ”

Qin Gong was just about to speak. I didn't know that the old courtyard was suddenly laughing and said, "I didn't expect the prince to be so timid." What are 10,000 people? Those who are disobedient and dare to rely on the privileges of the nobility and offend their superiors can be killed according to military law! Kill him a hundred and torture a thousand. The old man doesn't believe it, they are afraid of death in order to maintain their privileges? When Lao Tzu went to the battlefield and killed 300 nobles who escaped in one battle, those who still wanted to escape, the one who didn't fight bravely to kill the enemy? ”

Gongsun Jia's mouth was deflated, and he said with a bitter face: "Boss! You're on the battlefield. The younger generation is talking about officialdom. What is killed on the battlefield is fear, and one kill can be stopped. But officialdom is a thousand-year-old custom, and it is impossible to stop killing. ”

The old courtyard said angrily: "Under the knife, what customs cannot be changed? Lao Tzu looks the same. ”

Qin Gong had to open his mouth and persuade: "The courtyard is upright! How can anyone hold a knife on a man's neck, and be an official or an official? ”

The old courtyard smiled and said, "Hehe! yes. Since the lord doesn't want to kill, then he doesn't take a knife. Just go another way. That's right, then set aside a block of land for the nobility. They are all the same people, they are all nobles, and there is no such thousand-year-old custom of Rausch. If you can't do it again, you will take a knife and kill his grandmother, and see if these bastards are unruly! ”

Gan Long high-fived and praised: "Good! There is an old man in the family, and there is a treasure in the house! The minister added: Put the aristocratic governance area and the Qianshou governance area in adjacent places, and let them compare with each other. Don't the children of the nobility look down on the head of the Qian? You will prove it by the performance of governing a land. This comparison can arouse the morale of both sides, so that both sides can use their spirit to serve the lord, and they will die of exhaustion. The minister thought that they would not have the energy to break the criminal law. ”

When Qin Gong heard this, he couldn't help but high-five and praised: "Good! It's a great idea. The widow agrees. ”

Gongsun Yinggang wanted to speak out against it, but was stopped by Qin Gong with a look.

What received Gong Qin's words was the decree of the Zong: "Lord Gong! This strategy is wonderful, but there is another problem: if tens of thousands of nobles are recruited at once, so that these thousands of people can support themselves, then their hundreds of thousands of slaves will not be idle. What to do with this slave? ”

Duke Qin asked directly: "How many slaves are there among the nobles of the whole Qin now?" ”

Gongsun Jia Zuoyu: "Back to the lord!" There were 235,780 slaves, and 123,430 slaves who went out to their fiefdoms and farms. If tens of thousands of nobles' sons were to serve as officials, 90,000 slaves would follow. However, according to the rules of the government, an official has a maximum of three servants, and there are no servants. According to the official system, these people are all officials, and there are 90,000 slaves who are idle. ”

Qin Gong smiled: "You have a good memory!" So what do you think should be done? ”
