Shi Xun thinks that as long as he does two things well, he can be immortal, one is to preside over the establishment of the "Jian'an Stone Scripture", and the other is to preside over the formulation of the "Wei Law".

Shi Xun has recently put all his main energy on the compilation of "Wei Lu" - it is just right to change the name and justifiably push all the affairs of Taichung to Liu Xian and Zheng Hun, anyway, if it is really about the important matters of the country's major policies, then the two do not dare to make their own judgments, they must always be Xun to make decisions, but this kind of thing is rare after all - the compilation team has been formed at present, and is doing preliminary sorting and coordination work.

He originally wanted to expand the establishment and form his own team, but he was vetoed by Cao Chao and asked him to select people from the secretary and the two provinces to help. Of course, secretaries and subordinates also have their own jobs, at least Cui Yan, Liu Fang and other main responsible officials are unlikely to leave the work at hand and run to the book to help - besides, Shi Xun is not willing to work with Qi Jiqi - then there are not too many options. Shi Xun mainly wrote Cui and Liu, and asked more than a dozen lower-level officials to do miscellaneous tasks such as document custody and text arrangement, and those who really participated in the compilation of laws and decrees were those literary attendants who were in charge of the subordinates.

The team of courtiers in the Han Dynasty was very large, and Shi Xun himself used to be a squire, and he had no actual authority, but he was an advisor to the emperor and contributed poems to whitewash the peace. Due to the expansion of the bureaucracy of the Wei Dynasty, many talents flowed from the inner court to the outer courts, and the number of courtiers was greatly reduced, and the grades declined - although important ministers such as Jia Xu and Liu Ye did not have actual subordinates and were also advisers to the emperor, they could not be regarded as courtiers in the real sense.

It was Xun who sent six or seven courtiers over. Among them are old friends Wang Cang and Wang Zhongxuan. Furthermore. He also requested that Liu Ye be appointed as the first deputy head of the compilation team. The second group leader asked Mao Yu and Mao Xiaoxian, who were waiting for death in Chen Liu's hometown, with a court order.

Mao was also a founding hero of Cao Wei, but was later dismissed from office by Cao Cao's dislike, said to have been caused by Ding Yi's slander. Shi Xun felt that this person was quite a pity, plus Mao Jue Geng Jie was loyal and upright, and he had the ability to govern the country, so he deliberately moved Cao Chao, added the honorary title of Senior Doctor Mao Jue, and asked him to go out of the mountain to help.

It is the law of merit, and the main guiding principles are three: one. In addition to the cumbersome redundancy of the "Qin Law", the "Han Law" inevitably has deleted wrong chapters, coupled with the progress of the times and the changing situation, the successive dynasties have been forced to add a lot of "orders" and "branches", that is, temporary rules and regulations, so the style is chaotic and the system is loose; The current Wei Law is to reorganize, classify, and standardize it, and to add many new provisions in response to changes in the actual situation—for example, commercial activities have become increasingly prosperous in recent years. To this end, relatively detailed and clear commercial law articles have been formulated.

Second, Yeshun believes that if the law is not detailed. There will be loopholes, and some people will take advantage of loopholes, but it is impossible to plug all loopholes when enacting laws, so when compiling new laws, the language should be concise and accurate, while retaining interfaces that can be expanded at any time. At the same time, if the legal provisions are too strict, it is easy to fall into the "Qin Law", so a clear distinction is made between public prosecution and private prosecution, and for private prosecution type cases, in line with the principle of "the people do not prosecute, the officials do not prosecute", the people are given greater autonomy.

After all, the huge power of the clan is a practical problem that cannot be avoided, and if Xun really wants to return the power of the local clan to the government, he will create many potential opponents for himself and the government, and he will not do this kind of thankless task - even if he wants to do it, he must do it step by step in a gentle breeze and moisturizing things silently.

Third, in line with the Confucian principle of "benevolence", the scope of joint sitting should be greatly reduced and the punishment should be reduced -- to completely abolish joint sitting should not be possible in the current political environment. At the same time, many inhumane corporal punishments, as well as humiliating punishments, such as the abolition of palace punishments, were removed. In the end, the punishment was determined to be death, endurance, work, exile, redemption, and fine.

The punishment was lighter than the old punishment of scabling - the punishment was abolished - that is, the prisoner's beard was removed, but the hair was retained. Although Shixun likes his current image of a long beard and fluttering, after all, based on the soul from the future, he has an indifferent attitude towards whether a man must have a beard. In fact, it doesn't matter if there is hair or not, but after all, the traditional concept of "the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it cannot be destroyed" are still very strong - in fact, the "hair" here refers to hair rather than hair, and it also includes beard - scholars and doctors all regard receiving hair as a great shame second only to the palace, and it is a punishment that can be praised by everyone, and at the same time retain the punishment and will not cause too much conceptual impact on conservatives.

Punishment is imprisonment, and exile is exile. Redemption refers to the use of property to pay for certain sins (different from fines according to law), and some members of the group proposed "miscellaneous credits", that is, bureaucrats and nobles can use methods such as seizure of titles, removal of names, and dismissal of officials to offset crimes without punishment, which is included in the redemption and stipulates the upper limit of the number of crimes that can be redeemed. Originally, the miscellaneous and atonement sentences in history, from the death penalty to the rod and flogging, could be compensated, which was equivalent to enabling the nobles, bureaucrats, and wealthy families to enjoy the legal privilege of reducing the punishment, which was firmly opposed by Xun. He set it a limit, only the endurance of the sentence and the work of less than one year can be redeemed, and the death penalty and the work and flow of more than one year can not be avoided even if you hand over a prince.

Of course, after all, it is a feudal society, if it is really a pardon from the Son of Heaven, for the nobles and bureaucrats, no matter how big the sin is, it can be digested invisibly, and it is impossible to prohibit it in this situation.

Based on what Shixun said to Cao Chao when he asked for the formulation of the "Wei Law" in the court that day, some members of the group proposed to formally use Confucian etiquette as the guiding principle for law making and law enforcement, and even wrote the spirit of "Spring and Autumn Prison Break" into the "Wei Law". It was the Xun tongue battle group Confucianism, coupled with the strong suppression of the team leader, that finally brought down this crooked wind.

Shi Xun said: "The law is to take the people, and it is not acceptable. If it can be compromised, there will be villains who take advantage of the gap. The meaning of "Spring and Autumn", those who know it are many and those who know it are few, if it is not Dong Zi, who can really get the essence of Confucianism and apply it to Faye? As for the "Spring and Autumn Prison Break" that he did back then, of course he automatically ignored it - "If the law enforcement officials do not have the knowledge of Dong Zi, and are good at Dong Zi's affairs, then there is a law and it is just as impossible, what is the benefit of our system?" ”

Not every law enforcement official can uphold the public spirit, and like Dong Zhongshu, he has a deep understanding of the essence of scripture, if you open this opening, and everyone dares to "break the prison in the spring and autumn", then the provisions of the law will not be useless? So what is the seriousness of laws and regulations?

The formulation of the "Wei Law" is a big project, and it is not something that can be done by a group of 10 or 20 people behind closed doors, and it is also necessary to listen to the opinions of all quarters and absorb the experience of various departments, so as to achieve perfection and fairness as much as possible. As the leader of the group, the burden on his shoulders is really not light - so if it weren't for the fact that this matter could really make him immortal, with his lazy personality, he wouldn't have pounced on ********.

In later generations, there was a saying called "Long live understanding", which illustrates that people often lack mutual understanding, so they deliberately shouted a slogan and added the word "long live" as a tribute - even between biological fathers and sons. In some ways, Shi Fu absolutely understands his father, but whenever his father grabs office, power, money, and prestige, he has always raised his hands and feet in favor of it—because these resources and achievements are likely to be bequeathed to him in the future—but he is completely incomprehensible to some of his other behaviors.

The formulation of "Wei Law" is a clever plan to brush up his reputation, if Xun puts all his energy on this matter, thus neglecting the prevention of political enemies to a certain extent, at most he will just make a few complaints, he will work with Huan Fan to pick up the missing and help his father plug all kinds of loopholes. However, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, going to work to give instructions on certain official documents that had to be decided by him, and holding meetings to formulate the "Wei Law", he still devoted nearly one-fifth of his energy to paying attention to another thing—one thing that he felt was meaningless and only out of personal interest.

What's going on? To put it bluntly, it is Xun who is "engaged in science".

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces", this is a proverb that is not easy for eternity, and it is Xun who tried to expound and inculcate this concept to scholars as early as when he tampered with the essence of scriptures, and finally compiled and completed the "First Preface of Physics". However, the work of ideological transformation can never be accomplished overnight, and besides, people's thinking always progresses with the times, and when the productive forces have not yet reached a certain scale and the social model has not yet risen to a certain stage, there are always very few people who are willing and able to accept new ideas and concepts. And even if Xun uses his fame and then uses Confucianism to package it, and can really instill new ideas into the minds of some people, it is mostly young people, and they have to wait for them to grow up and make some efforts for this, and I don't know if it is the Year of the Monkey.

Shixun couldn't wait a little, and the death of his relatives and friends one after another finally made him appreciate the speed of time passing, and in this era of backward medicine, it is estimated that he does not have a long enough life to look forward to. Therefore, many things, if you don't build the prototype with your own hands, I am afraid that they will eventually be buried in the dust of history, and people in the future can only find out from the pile of old papers: it turns out that China has long had advanced scientific ideas, but it has never been taken seriously......

Especially in this regard, there are almost no people available. During the Han and Wei dynasties, the Chinese, especially the ruling class, were not as repulsive as later generations of technological progress, so they were self-contained, and even directly denounced it as "strange tricks"; But for scholars, although technology is important, it is not their profession after all, it is just an additional interest. Just like the children of later generations, if they have an interest in literature, art, chess, and sports, their parents will not reprimand them to their faces, but - the student's main business is to go on to higher education, why are you so concerned about not taking exams? Even if you force your child to attend various interest classes or even participate in the Olympiad, it is just to get extra points in the exam, not to really want your child to become an artist, athlete or mathematician in the future......

Therefore, it is quite unrealistic to let Zhuge Liang, Zhao Shuang, and Ma Jun give up their hard-won official positions and ******** engage in scientific research. But where else to find scientific and technological talents in the opposition? In desperation, Shihoon had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and experience it himself...... (To be continued.) )
