"Sixth, the Ming Xing canon - "Chu Law" is clearly written, and the revisions are all spread to the world, starting from the beginning, the eight sins are irreparable, abolishing the Zhulian, abolishing torture, abolishing lynching, the county has set up a criminal department, the county has opened a criminal hall, and the people of Chu have grievances in the criminal hall and cannot be extended, and a county is responsible, and the criminal department cannot be extended, and a county is blamed, and the criminal department cannot be extended, and the king of Chu is punished!"

Liu Xie, who was far away in Chang'an, was numb, and sure enough, this was the same as the eight strategies he had given himself.

In addition to the restrictions on interrogation, some officials under the Criminal Department secretly scolded their mothers, but no one else would object, after all, ...... At this time, no one wants to be in a family organization.

However, the abolition of lynching has the meaning of encroaching on the power of the clan, and it is also clearly written in the palace newspaper, even if the master punishes the servants, it is also within this limit, and the government must accept it.

As for the long-standing "redemption", Baitu still does not have a one-size-fits-all approach, and the rules of the General's Mansion are the same as before, several felonies restrict redemption, and some lesser crimes are put aside first, and then take your time later.

In addition, Bai Tu also took this opportunity to clarify the significance of the existence of the Criminal Division and the Criminal Hall.

Previously, because the six departments were nominally subordinate officials of the General's Mansion, the Criminal Division and the Torture Hall naturally under it were also subordinates of the General's Mansion, and theoretically they were not local government offices.

However, from now on, the responsibilities of the criminal department and the criminal hall will be clearer, on the one hand, it is to emphasize the vertical management system based on the six departments, and on the other hand, it is also clear that the rights and responsibilities - "the king of Chu is tart" has been said, and the Taishou and county orders have been ...... Let's do it ourselves.

As a person who once shouted, "Killing a man is like killing my father", it is still very credible to say this at this time, at least this determination has been recognized by the people.

Wang Lang below is also more and more encouraged-Bai Tu doesn't know how many times he has publicly supported the innovation of the Criminal Department.

"Seventh, there are people without slaves - since the beginning of the palace of the king of Chu, Chu has survived for one day, there is no slave registration in Chu, and those who hire and sell themselves as certified by the "Chu Law" are subject to the upper limit of the ten-year deed, and those who lynch the servants are guilty of breaking into the house and hurting the people!"

Although Liu Xie had expected it, when he heard this, he was still a little surprised.

After all, the old Liu family is not rich now, Liu Xie still understands things in this regard, and after coming to Chang'an, he pressed down on the palace repair and other matters proposed by Dong Cheng.

Today, he has also been praised by the ministers, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are the fewest in history, less than when Li Dao and Guo Yan were there!

However, now Bai Tu has abolished the eunuch and palace system......

However, the most affected by this is still the wealthy family with a large number of domestic slaves, and once again felt at a loss, although ...... After checking the notes of the newspaper, my mind calmed down a little, but I still began to feel uneasy.

From today on, Bai Tu will officially say "goodbye" to the remnants of slavery, before the General's Mansion only did not recognize the legitimacy of the deed of sale, but now it is an official announcement, the State of Chu ...... There is no slave to say, all of them are Chu people!

There are also families with a deed of sale, please go to the local government office to exchange the ten-year deed within the specified time, otherwise...... It is no longer just the escape of domestic slaves that has nothing to do with the government, but once discovered, they are arrested with abusive lynching.

Of course, although it is a step further than the previous abolition order of the General's Mansion, there is still a gap, that is, a "servant".

Conceptually, the state of Chu separates "servant" and "slave", and "slave" must be abolished completely, but "servant" can continue to exist, the difference is that "servant" is not hired and does not need to settle wages, but it is still an upper limit of ten years, which is equivalent to a buyout.

In the absence of any violation of the rules of the owner's family, in addition to the remuneration, unlike normal employment, the "servant" must give the owner compensation based on the buyout price, that is, he needs to redeem himself, unlike the ordinary employment contract that restricts the owner.

The most important thing is that in the new tax system, Baitu not only greatly reduced the agricultural tax, but also abolished the poll tax, and only added the industrial and commercial tax.

The reason why there are so many slaves in the Hao family is that they are essentially robbing people with the imperial court, and these people are not on the household registration register of the imperial court.

However, the poll tax was abolished, which means that ...... At this time, he went to the government and exchanged the people he had hidden, that is, his slaves, for a ten-year deed, and was ordered to make a book, and he did not need to bear additional taxes for this.

Otherwise, those wealthy families with such servants are likely to be really red-eyed......

As for the loss of poll tax, Bai Tu didn't care very much, as long as the industrial and commercial tax was stared at - these people would naturally have industrial value when they entered the workshop, and they would naturally provide tax revenue.

Bai Tu really doesn't believe it, those families who have tens of thousands of servants at every turn, in the future, will see the labor cost increasing day by day, and they will have to take care of dozens of people to eat a meal with peace of mind, and they will not let these servants enter the workshop......

is really so temperamental, Bai Tu can also do without his tax, anyway, this kind of old stubbornness against the trend will not last long in the wave of industrialization.

In fact, it can be regarded as leaving enough room for "exploitation", but in essence, the abolition of slavery is a big compromise in the details.

For example, in the Ministry of Industry, many people's contracts are close to "servants", and they are not allowed to terminate the contract in advance, but their status and remuneration are higher.

If there are still people who can't accept it, then Bai Tu can only consider "the destruction of benevolence".

"Eighth, the people are equal to the people of Chu - the people of Chu, whether they are princes and nobles, widows, widows, old and weak, men and women, sick and disabled, farmers, and businessmen, all of the above policies are regarded as equal......"

With the foreshadowing above, this "equity" seems logical.

That is to say, they are all "equal" in terms of schooling, imperial examinations, criminal laws, etc., and even provide a theoretical basis for the previously criticized female official system, but ...... Probably numbness? On the contrary, it did not cause too strong a reaction!

In short, at this time, the ordinary people of Chu are already in a state of cheering, even if the others don't understand, you know the fifteenth tax, right?

As for the Hao......

The people of Yangzhou, who have adapted to the model of the general's mansion, are now preparing to forcibly occupy Jingzhou's share, and some of the wealthy families in Jingzhou have begun to react and actively "prepare for war", and those who have not reacted are also relieved to see the abolition of the poll tax.

Think about your family's thousands of acres of fertile land and countless house slaves, although they have to be exchanged, but ...... It shouldn't be a big problem, at least it doesn't hurt enough to fight hard.

If you don't make a system, you can't die!

The most important thing is that people who have a little bit of feelings can only be convinced by the white picture now.

Which one, Baitu doesn't start from himself and start with the "King of Chu"?

At this time, there are not a few scholars who have feelings, not only can fully trigger their feelings, but also have no life-and-death differences with the interests of the family.

And even if they "hate", the vast majority of them do not "hate" so much that they want to gamble their lives, at most they scold a few words behind their backs, and they should go to the government tomorrow to change the deed or change the deed......

Whether it is a family or a wealthy family, the core point of survival is to resist the imperial court according to the people.

It doesn't matter if the court hates itself, but it can't lose the support of the villagers, and now that the Chu State has won, it can only admit it first......

After the announcement of the Eight Strategies, Bai Tu felt that the luck of the Chu State was already surging, and his whole person was shrouded in a golden light, as if a street lamp had been placed on the high platform.

In the end, Bai Tu puffed up his heart and announced: "May God bless all the people, may all the people bless my Great Chu - Chu State, stand!" ”
