Section 1601 Revision of household law
The next day, the Great Pilgrimage continued. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first topic is the public discussion of the "Maritime Frontier Law".
Hundreds of copies of the "Laws of the Sea and Frontier" were printed and copied and distributed to all the ministers and relatives of the two thousand stones, princes, kings, and princes and ministers who attended the meeting.
The thin booklet even smells of ink.
But the words on it have made countless people's hearts tremble.
"If you follow the provisions of this maritime law...... many people secretly shake their heads after reading the relevant provisions, and some do not want to see this law passed.
The gentlemen frowned and remained silent.
The nobles gritted their teeth and bowed their heads and sighed.
In the eyes of most people, this sea frontier law is simply a cult!
All its articles emphasize one thing -- the Lou Chuan Yamen has the power to enforce the law at sea.
Including but not limited to anti-smuggling, inspection, pursuit of bandits, cracking down on lawlessness,
At the same time, it will also authorize Lou Chuan to punish all barbarians who may affect and endanger the majesty of the Han Son of Heaven and the sacredness of the Han Empire.
It's simply ......
Many scholars and doctors who had a relationship with the maritime merchants clenched their fists.
Over the years, the Louchuan Yamen and the lord have been in cahoots, engaging in anti-smuggling and tax collection at sea and in ports.
They even want to register every ship at sea or in port, and require the owners of these ships to declare on time the movements of their ships and the goods they carry.
In the last year alone, the Louchuan Yamen and the Lord Duwei Yamen detained hundreds of large and small ships and confiscated tens of millions of materials.
A good and loyal righteous businessman was ruined by these greedy and shameless people.
It really makes those who hear it cry and those who see it sad.
Now, Louchuan Yamen has gone one step further, and wants to legislate its own authoritarian legislation and confirm its own advantages with the legal situation?
How can this be?
It's just that......
The gentlemen looked at the dozens of princes sitting cross-legged in the main hall, silent, and even unchanged in the slightest, and they subconsciously shrank their necks.
In today's Han system, the influence of the military is very important, and it can even be said that it is enough to affect the balance of power between the government and the opposition.
Especially those emerging military nobles, they are the rulers of the Han family today.
With Yulinwei, Hubenwei, Xiliu Battalion and other field army generals as the main body, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers as the backbone, and more than 100,000 pavilion chiefs, lizheng, youbi, county lieutenants, and county lieutenants who are all over the grassroots level of the county as the flesh and blood.
This huge interest group spans both military and political terms, and it is no exaggeration to say that nothing can bypass them in the current empire.
And they themselves are projections of the will of the Son of the Present.
The fact that they did not speak actually represented the attitude of the Son of Heaven -- the Son of Heaven supported the legislation of the building ships in the maritime frontier......
Thinking about the preface and articles of the "Law of the Sea Frontier", the scholars had to gasp.
"Perhaps, the "Law of the Sea Frontier" itself is the handwriting of today's instructions...... "Many people sighed secretly.
If the speculation is true, then there is no doubt that no one can stop this matter!
Even if the entire clique of civilians, officials, and doctors all stand up against it, it is useless!
Because, the martial arts aristocratic group has already occupied an advantage in this Xuanshu Palace!
Most of the courtiers and local dignitaries in the hall with more than 2,000 stone have military backgrounds or even military generals themselves!
What really makes these people dare not act rashly is the importance of their own black yarn hat.
As everyone knows, Liu's son of heaven has always been a chicken belly and has a lot of grudges.
At that time, the matter of Ding Gong, since Emperor Gao to the present, the Liu family has held a grudge for decades, and even Ding Gong's relatives have been implicated, and they have also been sitting, and they have not been allowed to enter the office for decades.
Even so, this gentleman, who has always enjoyed a clear reputation and praised Shilin, has not been reused, and has been entrenched in Lantai for several years, and he has not even been able to get the opportunity to be released.
If you come forward rashly and are convicted today, the family will be counted in that small book and will not be used for decades.
What about eggs?
In the interval between the scholars and doctors' hesitation, the time for the third reading of the Haijiang Law passed bit by bit.
Until Yan Yi's last time, Lang Sheng asked the ministers of the whole palace: "The law of the Fuhai Frontier, forty-eight articles, one hundred and seventy-three paragraphs, can the secretaries have any objections?" ”
If there is still no objection to this inquiry, it means that this law has been recognized by the 'people of the world', and the people of the world have no objection to it.
In this way, the law has sufficient force and sufficient authority.
In the future, even if there is opposition and enough ministers are linked, it will be ineffective.
Unless it goes up to the great court, and then after the public discussion of the world, the Son of Heaven can be deposed.
Otherwise, this law cannot be changed!
This is the reason why Liu Che wants to hold a great court meeting -- he can take advantage of this occasion to formulate laws and policies in the name of the people of the world.
The laws and policies passed at the Great Court naturally have legitimacy and sacredness.
The entire ruling class and all parties in the government and opposition will recognize and recognize it, and take the initiative to promote it.
This can effectively unite the government and the opposition and concentrate power without worrying about anyone causing trouble.
Take this "Haijiang Law" as an example, if there is no endorsement from the ministers of the great court, he will arbitrarily issue orders and legislate.
Then the local interest groups and aristocratic scholars are likely to do everything possible to make trouble in private and pull back their legs.
Even in the future, they are likely to counterattack and destroy all the efforts and efforts of Liu Che.
However, after the public discussion of the Great Imperial Council, local interest groups and nobles and doctors wanted to make trouble?
Once discovered, it will be a blatant provocation of the entire ruling class and an enemy of the 'people of the world'.
You don't need to think about the fate of such a scumbag to know.
With the endorsement of the Great Imperial Council, the Louchuan Yamen will be able to establish a huge interest group centered on the sea in the next few decades through the law of maritime frontiers.
Even if Liu Che enters Maoling in the future, even if his descendants are unscrupulous and bewitched, he wants to depose the sea power of the Han Dynasty and destroy the sea power consciousness of the Han Dynasty?
It is necessary to eliminate the huge interest group that is attached to maritime interests and foreign development.
Lou Chuan Yamen will not be the same as Zheng He, just fighting alone.
In the middle of thinking, the time for the third reading has passed.
Yan Yi turned around to face Liu Che and said respectfully: "Your Majesty: After the public discussion of the ministers, the ministers have no objection to the forty-eight articles and one hundred and seventy-three paragraphs of the "Haijiang Law", and I ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment!" ”
When Liu Che heard this, he came back to his senses, nodded and said: "That is the case, under the imperial history, please Tingwei and the imperial history system, choose an auspicious day and a good day, pay tribute to the high temple, and invite the ancestors and gods to watch together, and then make it public in Lubu and walk in the world!" ”
"No!" Yan Yi hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”
Ting Weiqing Ji Di and Imperial Historian Liu She also came out of their own ranks, and bowed: "The ministers are respectfully edicted!" ”
In this way, the legislative process of the "Haijiang Law" has been completed, and it is only waiting for the Tingwei and the Imperial Historian Yamen to compile and seal it, and finally send it to the Gao Temple, Wencheng Temple (Taizong), and Deyang Temple (the first emperor), so that the ancestors can promulgate the world at a glance and become a law.
The scholars and doctors were all in pain, and they looked like they had nothing to love.
Especially the bureaucrats in Qilu, Wuchu, and Chu look like dead parents.
There is no way, as soon as the maritime law is enacted, it is equivalent to giving the authority of the building ship and confirming the maritime law enforcement power of the building ship yamen.
Since then, there has been a law to govern maritime affairs.
More importantly, it means that the coastal people of the future will be able to go to sea and engage in any legitimate cause they want to engage in under the guidance of the maritime law.
The status of fishermen and fishermen has also been elevated from the marginal land of society to the status of farmers and agriculture.
How comfortable does this make them?
But there are also smart people who are already thinking about how to take advantage of and adapt to this change.
After all, the ocean has more to offer than to dig in the soil.
A boat goes out to sea for a few days and you can bring back a whole boatload of fresh fish.
The value far exceeds the output of hundreds or even thousands of acres of land!
The scholars and nobles themselves have resources, power, and manpower and material resources that far exceed ordinary people.
If you use it well, you can easily achieve a sea overlord, and the benefits may be far greater than before!
But very few were able to turn the corner.
It's just a few dozen people, and the others are still lamenting and complaining about the law of Haijiang.
The boat went up and down, but they were all celebrating each other.
Lou Chuan's general Xu Han was even more excited and almost cried!
The legislation of the "Maritime Frontier Law" not only declares the legitimacy and authority of Lou Chuan, but also means that Lou Chuan has taken the first step to become an independent military branch.
On the day of his success the next day, he Xu Han can become the father of Lou Chuan and be admired by all generations!
……………………
After the "Maritime Frontier Law", the "River Law" and the "Flood Control Order" were passed in three readings.
Among them, the law of the river is a law specially formulated for large rivers.
It is mainly a law specially designed to prevent soil erosion and to control the river, which prohibits all activities that may lead to soil erosion within 500 steps on both sides of the upper bank of the river.
It also stipulates the responsibility system for key large river dam areas.
At the same time, according to this law, the Han dynasty will set up the post of governor of the great river, with a rank ratio of 3,000 stones, and the governor of the great river management and flood control and the construction of embankment projects.
Yan Xiong, the county guard of Hedong County, became the first governor of Dahe.
The Flood Prevention Order is a guiding document for flood prevention in all waters.
It is clearly stated and pointed out that the flood control levee and its construction are the scope of the performance evaluation of Linhe County.
It also clearly distinguishes the responsibilities of magistrates in the face of natural disasters such as floods and droughts.
Naturally, the ministers had no objection to these two laws.
It's just that the magistrates feel a little stressed.
After the third reading of these two laws, it came to the revision of the "Household Law", which was of great concern to all forces.
The household law is the most important law of the Han Empire, and it is also the law that guides the magistrates to govern the locality, and it is also the law about social ethics and family responsibilities!
It is not unreasonable to say that it is the constitution of the empire!
Now, to revise the household law, it naturally immediately aroused the attention of all parties.
Prior to this, the revision of the household law had already caused an uproar in the public opinion circles and in the government and the opposition.
Confucianism and Huang Lao, collective attention.
As for the ministers of the government and the opposition, they are even more eye-catching!
There's no way, the household law moves the whole body, and even directly involves the country, who dares to be contemptuous?
The Han Dynasty household law, after decades of evolution, has developed to this day, although you can still see a lot of shadows of the laws of the Qin Dynasty, but its provisions and systems have changed beyond recognition.
Yan Yi stood in the hall with the article document that had been supplemented and revised by Tingwei, Lantai and the Prime Minister's Mansion after joint discussion, and stood in the hall, just by looking at it, he was shocked, and even his hands were shaking.
Barely holding his mind, he almost read in a trembling voice: "On the orders of His Majesty, the court Weiqing Jidi, the imperial historian Liu She, and the prime minister Chao are wrong, and there will be officials of the division to discuss the additions and patches of the "Household Law", add three articles and seven paragraphs, and revise seven of them, which is to discuss with the ministers......"
As he spoke, he read out the contents of the document: "Those who want to supplement are as follows: the law of increasing the number of households: where the people have more than two or more children, twenty-three years old, they are all other households, it is better to order, double its endowment, and then it is better to order, the county road has a division to force it, and enter the reclamation regiment......"
When this article was read, the ministers expressed their emotional stability, and only the Confucian ministers were a little uneasy.
Big families, big clans, this is where the belief and cornerstone of Confucianism lies.
However, the Qin and Han dynasties were determined to destroy and dismember the foundation of the existence of the big clans and big families.
The system of different sons formulated by Shang Jun is inherently the nemesis of the big clan and the big family!
However, Confucianism is now powerless to resist at all, and can only pinch its nose to recognize the system and related laws.
Yan Yi then read: "Amend Article 18 of the household law to read: A wife shall not be a household, and the people want to be another household, and there is a ...... for it."
Although the change in this article is not big, the impact is amazing!
Before today, the law read: A wife is not allowed to be a household, and the people want to be a household, and when they want to live in a household, they are not allowed to live in a household, but not when they are not a household.
It is now amended that people can apply for a separate household at any time.
Undoubtedly, this further strengthened the system of heterogeneous children.
Yan Yi continued to read: "Add Article 19: The selection of the village pavilion chief and Li Zheng is all in June, and there are three sages who choose the village pavilion to be elected by the public, and the number of households is the number of households, and the one who gets the most is Li Zheng......"
As soon as this one exited, the entire hall suddenly became in an uproar.
As long as you are not a fool, you can hear it, this is to learn the mode of election and abuse of power by businessmen in the market!
The reaction of the magistrates was particularly violent!
The pavilion is long and lizheng, which seems to be inconspicuous, but in fact it is the most critical part of the place.
They are the people who have direct contact with the local people, and they are the key to the government's control of local authority, and they are the key to the scholars and nobles being able to eat the people!
Now, this pavilion chief and Li Zheng are going to be voted for by the mud legs?
How can this work?
Do those mud-legged people know what it means to be a sage? Do they understand what is good and what is bad?
If this article is really going to be passed, then ...... From now on, the people will not have to their tails to the sky?
How can the big guy continue to fool or even trick them?
Originally, Liu Che's reform of giving priority to retired soldiers and officers as pavilion chiefs and Li Zheng made the scholars and landlords very dissatisfied.
Many of these retired from the army are not local officials at all, and they do their own thing, teaching the people the knowledge and skills they have learned from the army, and they also know how to use laws and systems to help the people speak.
In many places, from now on, the people are everywhere, and the style of kindness and simplicity is not there.
What if there is another poll like this?
The people still have to turn the sky upside down?
