Chapter 108: Head Like Rain (5)

"Taiwei, you haven't wanted to restructure Dali Temple a long time ago, right?" Sima Kao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, raised the question with strong skepticism.

When Zhao Jiaren began to try to propose a public security system, Sima Kao just felt that Zhao Taiwei probably wanted to install his own people. However, Sima Kao didn't particularly care, because every official in the Great Song Dynasty was a minor official, and there were 50 to 150 times the number of vassals outside the establishment. All that Zhao Taiwei did was to replace these vassals outside the establishment with personnel within the state system.

However, in the most critical trial of Song traitors at the moment, Taiwei Zhao proposed a new system. This system is divided into two parts: civil law and criminal law, and litigation is divided into public prosecution and civil prosecution.

For example, the trial of the Song traitor, if it was in accordance with the system before the Great Song Dynasty, it would be handed over to the Dali Temple, and the judges would start the trial, ask the case, and finally decide the case. In such a process, the Dali Temple itself and the high-ranking Zhao Taiwei have absolute authority. The same is true for Lantai. These people can almost make people live with a word, and they can kill people with a word. This is also the reason why the relatives of these 'Song traitors' have to find someone to talk to anyway.

If the system proposed by Taiwei Zhao is followed, then things will be completely different. The Public Prosecutor's Office sends prosecutors to prosecute offenders for their crimes, while prisoners are provided with judicial services by lawyers in accordance with the law. Finally, the Public Prosecutor's Office and the prisoners publicly plead their crimes in court. Finally, the trial is conducted by a judge.

"Taiwei, if you do this, I'm only afraid that Song Rape will be tried for half a year!" Sima Kao said unhappily.

Although his main mood was unhappy, Sima Kao actually felt an indescribable relief in his heart. If the whole system can really become like this, the pressure on the criminal department can be greatly reduced, and at least Sima Kao can let these officials find a good lawyer.

Zhao Jiaren said: "There are too few people who can use it now, although many people can be admitted to the department every year, but it is really nothing compared to the manpower needed by the country." ”

Sima Kao nodded, but he couldn't help but comfort Zhao Jiaren, "Taiwei, those vassals are extremely numerous. When I first became a judge, I really felt that Da Song had almost no way out. Even what about some officials, in fact, everything in the local area is in the hands of these vassals. They're really black-hearted. I'm glad I finally have a solution to this! Da Song is saved! ”

Zhao Jiaren just laughed a few times after hearing this. Honestly, when he read history books in his childhood and adolescence, he was always surprised. Why are those civil officials who are 'morally pure, for the country and the people' unable to solve the country's crisis? On the contrary, those corrupt officials can run amok.

After Zhao Jiaren arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, he realized that the master of the Great Song Dynasty was by no means an official family, or even those officials. The master of the Great Song Dynasty was, in a sense, the vassals. Corrupt officials are ruthless, more materialistic in thinking, and able to admit reality and face reality. can grasp the vassals below, and can also give some system fertilizer to the vassals, so you can accomplish a lot of things.

The so-called Qing officials, all of whom were idealists, believed that the world should run as they imagined it to be. So they naturally hit a wall everywhere in the face of reality.

However, Taiwei Zhao couldn't help but think about setting up a jury system in the end. The civil law system is a statutory law, so there is no need for a jury system. Only when the law of the sea system is case law should the jury system be used to seek a 'social consensus'.

After staying in the United States for a long time, Zhao Jiaren found that the jury system in the United States has some things that seem very reasonable, and some things that are very unreasonable. Later, however, Zhao Jiaren had a chat with a legal expert from a family of US district councilors, and only then did he hear the insight.

“…… Captain, what are you thinking? Sima Kao looked at Zhao Jiaren's expression and couldn't help but say loudly.

"I'm thinking about the jury system." Zhao Jiaren said. After finishing speaking, he still felt that it was not enjoyable, so he simply said to Sima Kao, "I have ideas about this matter, and we will have a meeting tomorrow!" ”

The next day was March 11, the day when Captain Zhao went to the court. Similar to before, Empress Dowager Yang announced that she would not come to the court on this day. So the court meeting ended automatically, so the important cadres of the six Shangshu and Zhao Jiaren, as well as the members of the head office of the society, were called by Zhao Jiaren to his home not far from the imperial city.

In the huge conference room, Zhao Jiaren taught the gang a lesson. A lesson on juries in the law of the sea system.

The law of the sea system was originally not about poor ghosts. What courts, elections, are all aimed at the rich. In the beginning, those who had the right to vote in Britain were local nobles and powerful, and those who had the right to vote also had a certain amount of property, and had a sufficient amount of tax years and tax payments. So 'we are taxpayers' is something that only the rich can say.

In the 21st century, a jurist from a family of American congressmen believed that Zhao Jiaren was also a 'fellow traveler', so he shared his insightful views. This kind of thing is not going to be said directly to the poor people.

The Law of the Sea system was established on the basis of the origins of wealthy people who had the right to vote and those who had the right to stand for election, and who had basically the same worldview and values. Everyone is only different in each field, but the basic concept is actually the same. They can probably be called 'the masters of the autocracy of capital'. These heroes serve as juries, and they are very attentive to the case, and of course they can come to a more reliable conclusion. When the poor have the right to vote, and the law of the sea system is still old, there is a huge problem with the system. Originally, the system that looked at the perfection of theory and the implementation of the system was declining.

Although Zhao Taiwei will not mention the 21st century and those things that cannot be mentioned, Zhao Taiwei's words are still understood by these people. With a sense of responsibility as a master, Sima Kao said from the bottom of his heart: "Captain, we will definitely not let the poor be a member of the jury!" ”

Sima Kao's attitude was clearly representative of the attendees who were about the same background as him. Whether it was Sima Kao's uncle Xu Yuanzhi or Liu Meng, they all nodded slightly to express their support for Sima Kao.

However, Chen Qingnian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was actually not very close to Zhao Jiaren, and now after listening to Zhao Jiaren's lecture, he was greatly moved and sighed: "Taiwei, I originally thought that you regarded yourself as a martial artist, so you were extremely murderous. Now I know that you are a bodhisattva. Never kill indiscriminately! ”

When Liu Meng heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Qingnian. As an early follower of Zhao Jiaren, Liu Meng knew very well how many people Zhao Jiaren had killed with his own hands, and that was a three-digit number of human lives. As for those who were killed under Zhao Jiaren's personal order, there were already five figures, and they went straight to six figures.

Recently, Zhao Jiaren was still discussing the issue of war in two or three years. The new Song army attaches great importance to annihilation, and Taiwei Zhao uses cold calculations to prove to everyone how much manpower and material resources it takes to feed a person to an age that can be sent to death on the battlefield. Annihilating the enemy is not only a huge loss for the enemy, but also a loss that is difficult to replenish in a short period of time under the feudal system. With the order of Taiwei Zhao, tens of thousands of troops can be recruited in cities with a population of hundreds of thousands, such as Lin'an, Fuzhou, and Quanzhou. Mongolia, however, does not have such capabilities.

In the end, Taiwei Zhao calculated that as long as he could kill 600,000 troops and officials and officials' private soldiers on the battlefield and in local raids, Dayuan would inevitably collapse completely. Including the excessive killing that will inevitably occur in this process, Zhao Taiwei believes that the entire number of people killed must be about one million.

If Taiwei Zhao can get what he wants, the number of people killed by his order will reach seven figures......

Although he didn't know the specific thoughts in other people's hearts, Chen Qingnian still felt some disapproval of his eyes and expressions. He hurriedly accentuated his tone and said, "If it is someone else, the killing is all out of their own likes and dislikes. And Zhao Taiwei has a system. And this system itself is to love the country and the people, and to punish the former and the latter, cure the disease and save people. Recalling that a few days ago, the Queen Mother talked about this trial, and the Queen Mother's murderous mind was no different from that of a tyrant. ”

After this explanation, many people are deeply convinced. Those guys who were born in Jinshi are particularly related. Even a pragmatist like Liu Meng also feels that although Chen Qingnian's words are wishful thinking, they may not be completely unreasonable. Liu Meng did admit that if Mongolia was willing to surrender to Zhao Taiwei, Zhao Taiwei would not necessarily kill 600,000 people.

There is no need to say this kind of praise for virtue. Now that everyone agrees, let's make this trial a good one. In addition, I think you know why you want to abolish vassalage and change the rule of officials. Zhao Jiaren said.

As soon as these words came out, the cadres had indifferent expressions. Because they actually climbed up through the system built by Zhao Taiwei. In a sense, they are all officials turned officials. And most of the jinshi also felt that they had a new understanding of the new system.

Prosecutors, judges, lawyers, they are all officials. According to Zhao Taiwei, these people eat the state's financial meal, so the state can manage them justifiably, restrain them, and require them to have morality, ideas, and obey orders and commands. If the officials are disobedient, they will be dismissed from public office.

"But can the finances of the Great Song Dynasty really bear so many expenses?" Chen Qingnian asked. He's a newcomer, and he's not immune to a lot of surprises.

The household department is in charge of property, and Xu Yuanzhi, the head of the household department, said loudly: "Originally, so many black-hearted vassals didn't live well?" They've done so many bad things, and they're still alive. Under the rule of the new officials, everyone is above board, why can't they bear it? Could it be that good people don't live long, and the scourge will last for a thousand years?! ”

After listening to Uncle Shi's words, Sima Kao just wanted to laugh. He always thought that Uncle Shi was a very rational and conservative person who couldn't dream. Looking at it now, after having the wings of his dreams, Xu Yuanzhi is actually very willing to fly.
