"Wu Hong, how do you govern the country?"

Qingji asked with interest.

"Returning to the father and the emperor, the son is the king of Ning, selecting talents and abilities, focusing on cultivating the integrity and quality of the people, and forming a harmonious situation."

Wu Hong replied: "Erchen still remembers the teachings of Confucius and Great-Uncle Zu (Ji Zi) and does not dare to forget them. ”

"The sons and daughters lead by example, so that the people of the country, like the sons, should not only love their relatives and not only their children, but also love others widely and love their children."

"In this way, Ningguo will have the end of the old, the strong will be useful, the young will grow, and the widowed, lonely, and sick will all be supported."

"Men have something to do, and women have a home."

"Goods cannot be discarded and wasted, nor can they be kept for themselves."

"Strength cannot be withheld, nor can it be used for oneself. In the end, the conspiracy is closed, the thief does not work, and every household does not have to close its door at night. ”

Qingji squinted his eyes and said, "Isn't this the ideal Datong world of Confucius?" ”

"Wu Hong, can Ning Guo really reach this level?"

Wu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Father, I really don't hide it. This is just Erchen's vision for the future of Ningguo, but how easy is it to really realize it? ”

"Erchen can only use the power of education as much as possible to govern Ningguo."

Hearing this, Qingji nodded and said, "It's hard for you." Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, not too urgent, but also too slow. ”

"Although Ningguo is not big, it is not a small country...... How many prisoners are there in your Ningguo's prison? ”

Wu Hong bowed to Qingji and said, "Back to my father, there are forty-one prisoners in Ningguo. ”

"I'm asking all the prisoners in Ningguo, not just the prisoners in Pyongyang."

"Father, there are really only forty-one prisoners in my Ning Kingdom."

"So little?"

Qingji and Wu Ji beside him were quite surprised.

Is Wu Hong really not lying?

You must know that the population of Ningguo is also quite large, with a population of more than 1 million, and among the vassal kingdoms, it is second only to Liao and Sai in terms of population.

That's it, only forty prisoners in a whole country?

It's ridiculous!

Qingji felt unbelievable!

However, Qingji knew that Wu Hong was an honest person and would not deceive others, let alone deceive himself.

Ning Guo used Confucianism to govern the country, taking into account Taoism and law, and using education rather than harsh laws and regulations, which was completely different from Dawu.

"Wu Hong, what crimes did those prisoners commit?"

"Without exception, capital offense."

"That's right."

Wu Ji, who was following aside, raised his eyebrows and asked with some doubts: "Uncle, since they are death row prisoners, why don't you put them to death, do you keep them for the New Year?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, you are right, the death row prisoners in Ning Kingdom are generally suspended deaths."

Wu Hongzheng said: "The widow is preparing to change the new law recently, abolishing the death penalty and punishing criminals with a suspended death sentence. ”

"The death penalty is suspended, and there are life sentences, ranging from 60 to 10 years. Whether or not the sentence can be commuted depends on the prisoner's performance in prison and in the course of hard labor. ”

"Father, the son wants to report this matter to you. I would like to ask your father's permission......"

"No!"

Before Qingji could speak, Wu Ji immediately refuted.

"Uncle, the vassal kingdoms under the rule of my Great Wu, like the locals, all implement the Wu Law, and you govern the country with Confucianism, not to mention that the Wu Law must not be changed. Changed, is that still the vassal kingdom of Great Wu? ”

"Could it be that Uncle Fei wants Ning Kingdom to become the most unique existence in the kingdom of the Great Wu Domain?"

"Don't dare."

Wu Ji's words can be described as "heart-wrenching".

The vassal kingdoms all use the Wu law, which is the same as the law of the Great Wu itself, but it is a little different, and it varies according to local conditions and from person to person.

But such a national law is destined to not be modified by the vassal kings themselves, otherwise where will the dignity of the national law of Great Wu be?

Wu Hong thought for a while, and then said to Qingji: "Father, the son thinks that the law is made by people, and natural people can also revise it. ”

"Like the death penalty, if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? After that, it can be changed, and it is very good. ”

"For those who have committed the death penalty, the state should give them a chance to mend their ways and let them become human beings again."

"What the uncle said, the fallacy is also."

Wu Ji still retorted: "If the country's laws and regulations are not strict enough, how can the people of the country not defy the law? ”

"The death penalty must not be abolished, this is the bottom line. As for the rest of the punishment, it is better to say. ”

Seeing that Wu Ji and Wu Hong had an argument, Qingji interrupted them and asked the matter to be discussed later.

……

After Qingji's patrol team arrived in Pyongyang, the capital of Ningguo, according to the usual practice, Qingji took Wu Ji and Wu Hong to pay a private visit to the people's micro-service.

As far as Qingji heard about it, Li Shu of Ningguo had a very high evaluation of Wu Hong.

The most worthy thing for Ning people to talk about is that Wu Hong temporarily released hundreds of prisoners in his early years, so that they could go back to celebrate the New Year with their families and reunite their families.

Wu Hong has a compassionate heart and believes that death row prisoners are also worthy of forgiveness.

However, the law of the country is ruthless, and Wu Hong cannot condone those condemned prisoners.

So Wu Hong tried his best to discourage public opinion at that time, and released about 326 death row prisoners and let them go home to celebrate the New Year with their families.

Wu Hong agreed with them that he would come back consciously next autumn.

The ministers of Ning Guo all thought that Wu Hong was crazy and dared to let the condemned prisoner go home, how could anyone be so stupid as to take the initiative to send him to death next autumn?

But the fact is that all of the 326 condemned prisoners have returned, without exception.

Wu Hongnian forgave all of their sins when they had a good heart of repentance, kept their promises, and believed that they would mend their ways......

Qingji vaguely remembered that at that time, there were many ministers who impeached Wu Hong, the king of Ning, to themselves because of this matter.

Wu Hong did this, which was obviously unruly.

Although it is said that outside the law is nothing more than human affection, but Wu Hong is so benevolent, where does he put the majesty of Wu Fa?

However, Qingji only wrote a handwritten letter criticizing Wu Hong and did not give him any punishment.

This can be regarded as acquiescing to Wu Hong's doing.

Unknowingly, Qingji led Wu Hong and Wu Ji to a Huimin pharmacy in Pyongyang City.

Such "Huimin pharmacies" are everywhere in Dawu.

Wu Hong, as the king of Ning, is also sparing no effort to implement the policies of Dawu, especially the policy of benefiting the people.

However, Ningguo's Huimin Pharmacy is different from Dawu's local Huimin Pharmacy.

The same place is that there are several doctors in the pharmacy every day to sit and grab medicine, the difference is that patients do not need to pay consultation fees, medical fees, medical treatment is free!

Isn't this better than Dawu's welfare policy?

This surprised Qingji.

You must know that in Dawu itself, patients still have to pay a certain degree of consultation fees and medical fees, although it is not much, but it is not as good as Ning Guo, which has free medical care for all......
