Wang Jibao wrote on a blank piece of paper again: Another problem with the rule of officials is the bloated organization. The division of duties and responsibilities is unclear. If another agency is established. Is it that the state has to pay more money every year to support these people. And also. How can you guarantee that the officials of this emerging institution are not greedy.

Don't forget. They are acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven. The rights of the future are even more indispensable. And who can be used to supervise them? Do you want the emperor to take care of them personally? Even if the emperor has a heart tube . But he stayed in the palace all day. How much do you know about the outside world? If the people below have the heart to hide it. How much can he know?

She just said a few words. made Lin Xi fall into deep thought.

Wang Jibao didn't bother Lin Xi either. Pick up the pen and start answering the questions formally.

She certainly can't write so much on the topic paper. A girl who is only nine years old cares too much about this. When the time comes, it is impossible not to arouse the reverie of others.

She can have some insight. It is even possible to talk nonsense . But if she understands even such a profound question. That would really make people think that the abnormality must be a demon.

Wang Jibao's final answer on the question paper is similar to what Lin Xi wrote. It's just that I added a sentence at the end. History should be used as a mirror. Need to figure it out slowly.

In addition, a note was written: There is plagiarism of Lin Xi's answer for reference.

In the eyes of others. Maybe such an angry answer. It's more in line with their age.

Wang Jibao took over the third question. I read the title once. Didn't answer immediately.

The topics of this imperial examination are really varied, and they are actually very sensitive topics.

Emperor Yongsheng has already begun to see the answer to Wang Jibao's second question.

After reading it. Even he had to admire Wang Jibao for answering this question very well. So he hurriedly summoned Wang Ziyi, Prince Xia Lixuan and Shangshu of the Criminal Department to come and see it together.

After everyone has seen it. My heart is bright. It turned out that this case could have been solved so easily. Seemingly. It's not complicated. It's that their hearts are too complicated. Maybe it's only this kind of childishness. will be so simply not affected by foreign objects. It is solved by the law alone.

Wang Jibao's answer is this:

The first thing the sister-in-law touched was the murder of his stepmother. If convicted of murder. Then sentence him for killing his stepmother.

The crux of this case is that it is unreasonable for this concubine to be corrected to fill the house. The law does not admit it.

I've always been a great heir. The law clearly stipulates that the concubine has the right to dispose of the concubine at will.

And there are also provisions for those who spoil concubines and kill wives. If you are an official. The light one loses his position. Serious punishment is the crime.

This dynasty in order to prevent such a thing from happening. Also strict orders to officials. You must not take a concubine as a wife. Nor can there be a wife equally.

Therefore. It is not reasonable to say that the concubine became a house-filler. In the provisions of the law, concubines should still be addressed.

The concubine is guilty of killing the head of the house. As a concubine, he can dispose of the concubine and avenge his mother. Therefore. He was not guilty of murder. No penalty can be made.

Because the concubine is dead. Therefore, the court no longer pursued the charge of killing the head of the house. Other words. The court agreed to the concubine's private disposition of the concubine. The death of this concubine belonged to the domestic affairs of the former prefect of Eastern Hubei.

However, in this case, if there is no judgment to punish the prefect of Eastern Hubei for killing his wife. Please pursue the penalty.

Second, about the son-in-law's lawsuit against his biological father. If the sin of disobedience according to the Law is any act of disobedience to one's parents. Then of course, this also includes the fact that they did not listen to their parents.

The first crime of disobedience committed by this sister-in-law was not against his own father. It was his father who made him filial to that little concubine. Listen to the words of the concubine. He didn't listen to him. He also killed the concubine.

The second sin of disobedience he committed was when his father tried to kill him. He as a filial son. He should have followed his father's orders and waited to be killed. But he fled.

This third place is where he sues his own father.

Therefore. The son-in-law is guilty of disobedience. Convicted.

Remembering the pity of its feelings. Therefore the punishment according to the crime of disobedience is the lightest. A hundred rods. Dispatch and replenish the army.

But in the case of the former prefect of Eastern Hubei violating the laws of the country. The sister-in-law is able to do the whistleblowing. Righteous annihilation. It should be regarded as a meritorious act. According to the Law. When the original offense is based on the offense reduced by three degrees.

Therefore, the final conviction of the sister-in-law should be to be assigned to the army.

Note: If he has performed meritorious service in the future, he can continue to reduce his sentence. It is even possible to restore a free body. Even if you become a general, you might be able to do so.

The previous words Wang Jibao also said righteous words. Didn't expect. Finally, the style of painting changed. Naughty again.

A case that had been boiling for more than half a year was easily solved. Everyone couldn't believe it.

The beauty in the prince's righteous heart. Look at our little daughter. How clear the mind is. None of this is nonsense. Everywhere according to the law;

Xia Lixuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sister Bao is even familiar with the law. And I've memorized it."

Wang Ziyi looked at Xia Lixuan with the eyes of an idiot. Then he said, "That's it. Otherwise, this one. How could she write so clearly?"

This also makes people not live. A nine-year-old girl doesn't read those "Women's Rules" and "Women's Rings" but actually reads the law. And he can memorize the law.

But cousin, how can your eyes be the same as the last time Wang Laosi looked at him. This is the contempt of the red fruit.

Emperor Yongsheng explained: "That little girl has the ability to never forget. It's something that no one else can learn."

Everyone showed a look on their faces, and sure enough, this was the case.

Wang Ziyi also humbly said: "I can't say that I can't forget it. It's faster than anyone else remembers. Remember to be jailed. My future son-in-law is about the same as her."

It's not enough to have discovered a demon. That's one more.

The prince said in his heart: My third son and I are not bad. I'm not embarrassed to show you off.

Emperor Yongsheng took out another piece of ordinary white paper from the paper bag. A paragraph is written on it. After he saw it. handed over this passage to Wang Ziyi and a few others to read it.

After a few people watched it. They are all lost in thought.

Writing more on a blank sheet of paper is not the answer. It can only be regarded as Wang Jibao's feelings.

From this case. Didn't you notice anything wrong?

The so-called filial piety. Do parents have to do everything they ask their children to do?

Suppose your father tells you to be filial to your father's concubine. You go or don't do it. If you don't do it, you are not filial.

Suppose your father wants to kill you. Then you have to wait obediently to be killed. Otherwise, you are unfilial.

Suppose your father tells you to kill someone. Do you need to do it too. If you don't do it, you are not filial.

Suppose your father told you to do something more out of line. I'm just giving an example. For example. For example, rebellion. Are you just watching your father rebel and not exposing it? You even have to go along with it. Otherwise, it is unfilial.

We all say that the father is kind and the son is filial. The Father is unkind to him like this. How do you ask the son to be filial.

As a man. You don't even know why there is a saying that 'a daughter-in-law has become a wife for many years'. That's because a daughter-in-law must obey her mother-in-law in everything. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. As a daughter-in-law, you must obey and do what your mother-in-law asks. Otherwise, a big hat of unfilial piety will be pressed down. Whoever is a daughter-in-law will be punished. He was even disliked by his own father-in-law. It may even be abandoned by the husband's family and so on.

Although this case looks like it's just a case. But this case hides behind it. But it's a very common phenomenon.

What if this sister-in-law didn't make meritorious contributions? If he doesn't get it right, he'll have to die.

Wang Jibao didn't say any more. She doesn't need to say anything. What to do. Everyone in this room should already have their own answers.

The third question in Wang Jibao's hands is the question raised by the household department: how to increase the income of the household department.

Wang Jibao's answer to Emperor Yongsheng after contemplation was: not in his position, not in his government.

This question is even more sensitive. If she were to say everything that was in her mind. If you don't get it right, you may bring disaster to the entire Heshun Hou Mansion.

The answer is simpler: increase taxes.

But where this tax comes from is the key.

From the common people. A long time. It will inevitably cause people to live in poverty. It can even lead to riots in the end. But if the increased taxes are allowed to come from the nobles such as the families, nobles, and officials. That will inevitably cause outrage. In the end, of course, they would not take out their anger on the emperor. But these anger will definitely be sent to the Wang Jibao and the Marquis of Heshun who came up with the idea.

So this question. She's stupid to tell the truth. When the time comes, the fire will be ignited.

But she still wrote Lin Xi an answer of her own.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

If you want to win the hearts and minds of the people. The fastest and most practical thing that can buy the hearts of the people in the world is to reduce the people's taxes.

This is also when every emperor encounters major events such as ascending the throne, marrying, giving birth to the eldest son, the whole birthday, or natural disasters, man-made disasters and so on. A summons will be issued: amnesty for the whole world, and a reduction of the tax for three years.

In Wang Jibao's view. Amnesty for the world can be done or not.

If some rebellious ministers and thieves, Jiangyang thieves, murderers and other heinous people are also released. Isn't that even more harmful to society? It would be better to send someone to retry the unjust case. Let those who really deserve to be released. Let them get out of prison in the open. In the future, it will be more practical to be an upright person.

The tax will be reduced by three years. Looking is a good policy. But what about three years later.

If the treasury revenues decrease within three years. So in order to replenish the treasury, it is necessary to make up for the reduced part. Plainly. The wool still comes out of the sheep. to the end. The money still has to come out of the people.

After Lin Xi saw it. Write on the paper: What exactly is your idea?

He is now more and more impressed by his little fiancée.
