(Overhauled)

When Aku returned to Meaux, it was already the end of January.

He happened to see the outcome of Liu Mingfeng's trial in Yangang, and this issue of the newspaper ended with a long article detailing the trial process.

The trial was so formal that even the monarch sent jurors to supervise it.

The Supreme People's Court of Law also attached great importance to this case, and not only discussed it in advance, but also gave Liu Mingfeng a chance to defend himself and defend himself in accordance with the procedures.

What is touching is that this is also the first public trial of the Supreme Law Court, so the presiding judge is a little unfamiliar, and the whole process seems a little messy.

Liu Mingfeng's self-defense, as well as the defense lawyer, also grasped the crux of the whole case and debated with the plaintiff's lawyer.

In this confrontation, the topic also focused on whether the government was at fault, and some people believed that Liu Mingfeng made a mistake in official clothes, so when he was tried, the conviction standard was not the same.

This involves an issue that is difficult to avoid, and it is also an issue on which all the cadres of the Law Yuan cannot reach a consensus.

In the final analysis, the root cause of this matter lies in the fact that "the punishment is not up to the doctor". Many people from the Ming Kingdom have a hard time equating an official with an ordinary person in their concepts.

When the matter reached Yan Zheng's ears, he wrote it with a brush: In front of the law, there is only one identity, and that is the people! If the law adopts different standards based on the position of the officer, how can it reflect the spirit of justice? The ancients knew that "the prince breaks the law and sins with the common people", so how can you, who have received a new education, still doubt this matter?

It was Yan Zheng's words that made Liu Mingfeng once again gain a first, he was the first official in the history of Eastern Qin to be sentenced to hanging!

indirectly killed more than 100 people, this is a sin that killed him, and the rest can be forgiven!

Ah Ku put down the newspaper and let out a long sigh, it has only been less than half a year, and some people have been hanging on the swing in this first batch of fresh blood.

In the newspaper, the monarch also commented on the matter, calling Liu Mingfeng's behavior a random piano playing, and calling his behavior hot-headed and reckless.

This article is equivalent to pouring cold water on all the local officials, originally they thought that the king was kind and affectionate, and they were okay with their occasional willfulness, but now they found out that as long as they make mistakes, then they are invited in prison.

When they thought of Liu Mingfeng, standing in a small fence, dying in despair, they only felt a chill in their backs.

……

"Your Majesty, I'm back!"

When he returned to Meaux, Ah Ku looked a little tired, but he still came to see the king first.

"It's hard work, sit down first!" Yan Zheng hurriedly got up and took out a box of tea leaves and asked Yumo to take it and brew it.

He smiled and said: "This is Zhejiang's pre-rain tea, it is said that it has to be picked at night when it is picked, and it is picked as soon as the bud tip rises!" A hundred tea pickers pick a night, and it's only half a catty. ”

Ah said with a wry smile: "The tea that the king specially hidden, how can you be willing to invite me to drink it today?" ”

"Isn't this delaying your New Year!" Yan Zheng quipped: "I'm afraid you have an opinion!" ”

"Don't dare! Alas......" Ah sighed bitterly and said: "This time, I always feel uncomfortable after doing it, in fact, many people have said that Liu Mingfeng is inexperienced and young, and it stands to reason that the government is indeed responsible." ”

Yan Zheng put away his smile, nodded and said, "Liu Mingfeng made a mistake after all, and if he makes a mistake, he will have to pay the price!" I can only let other people go to Hailan Port for labor reform, which is already considered a light hair! ”

"The place in Hailan Harbor can be frozen when you pee, and the king is unwilling to immigrate, let them go there for labor reform, I'm afraid it's also unlucky, right?"

"No!" Yan Zheng smiled and said: "The leather goods over there are cheap, and there is a trading post, they can't suffer much, so I can be regarded as letting them start over!" ”

"That's fine!" Ah Ku wrinkled his brows and said: "It's just that this time I went to the chicken coop, I also think that it is unreasonable for the king to list the chicken coop in the city, that place is too barren, no wonder Liu Mingfeng wants to run!" ”

"I don't regret it at all, and I'm even glad to be happy!"

At this time, the tea was also served, and Yan Zheng made a gesture of invitation and said, "The chicken coop will become a port city in the future!" ”

Ah Ku took a sip of tea, thinking that it was really the tea that the monarch had to hide, he was a little less tired, and asked, "Port city?" The location of the chicken coop is not as good as that of Gyeongbuk, so you don't need to go around there to go to the Wakoku and Ryukyu, right? As for Nanyang, even more so! ”

"You know the world is a ball, right? Do you know that in the Far East, there is still a continent? In the future, we will explore that continent, and Jonlong Port is the starting point! Moreover, there is coal under the chicken coop ground, which is larger than the Anyuan coalfield of the bamboo trench. ”

Ah Ku was stunned with the teacup, and understood why Yan Zheng would secretly rejoice.

"Alas, it seems that the big waves are sweeping the sand, and those who remain in Jilong Harbor will have a vast world in the future."

Yan Zheng nodded and said: "I gave them all the opportunities, whether they can seize it or not, it's up to them!" ”

Ah Ku snorted, feeling that there was nothing to say about this matter.

"It seems that you are also quite emotional on this trip!" Yan Zheng smiled and took out two bills from the drawer.

"After reading these two bills, you will feel better."

Ah Ku took the first bill, which allowed him to take the lead in the supervision agency, and under Yan Zheng's arrangement, it would become an internal intelligence agency.

"In the future, every group of officials who go to the local area will secretly train two members of the center, who are in one-line contact, responsible for transmitting information, do not interfere with each other, and only play the responsibility of supervision. With oversight, it is believed that similar things will decrease,. ”

Ah Ku nodded seriously: "There should be such an institution, and at present, our understanding of the place depends too much on the words of the people below." ”

Yan Zheng said with a smile: "Give you a year to build the team, and I will transfer a group of people to you in the army, but the main thing is to develop young people and the masses." Like factory employees, village farmers, and businessmen, they can all develop into the downline and regularly go to the field to investigate and collect evidence! ”

Ah Ku looked at it for a while, and felt that it was very clear, and the responsibilities within this organization would also be clear.

Looking at another bill, Ah Ku's brows twisted into twists.

In short, the subdivision of functions, as well as the establishment of so-called banks.

After reading it, Ah Ku muttered, "This requires a lot more manpower, right?" ”

"No, you don't! Grain depots and depots can hire a few extra people during the tax season, and they can maintain their operations in normal times, and the banks will definitely have to operate themselves in the future. Not to mention the shops, the number of people can be relatively reduced. And at the beginning, it will definitely only be piloted in Mozhou, and it will not be rolled out all at once! ”

Ah Ku said for a while: "The benefits of doing this are indeed great, in this way, it is equivalent to the supervision of the flow of funds, which is easier to control." It can also play a role in mutual supervision in the whole process, and if you really want to check the accounts in the future, if the butt is not clean, you will definitely find out! ”

"It's just trying to avoid!" Yan Zheng sighed and said: "The problem is that people's hearts are complicated, and there can be loopholes no matter what!" I only hope that future generations will have enough wisdom and morality to be able to achieve perfection! ”
