Chapter 26: Yangwu Law is Strict?
"Not bad. In my Yangwu, stealing children and women is a felony, once committed, men will be punished, and women will enter the Qinglou. ”
Hearing Xiao He's explanation, Qin Shihuang and the others were stunned.
The Qin law that is implemented today is based on the Qin law that was revised when Shang Jun changed the law, and Li Si supplemented and revised it.
Everyone in the world says that Qin's laws are strict, but compared to Yangwu's laws......
Qin Shi Huang was also extremely curious about this, "Is the law of Yangwu more stringent than the law of Qin?" ”
Jiang Xia shook his head, "That's not true, Yangwu mainly enforces Qin law, and only some bad behaviors will increase the punishment." ”
What Jiang Xia didn't say was that there were also some Qin laws that were too heavily punished, and the entire Sanchuan County was implementing Yangwu's Qin laws to reduce the punishment.
It's like Qin Law stipulates that if a man cries, he will be punished.
To steal something, tattoo it on your face.
Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, it is not a crime to be beaten to death if he cheats......
"Of course, the most important thing is not whether the law is strict or not, but to let all the people know what is a crime and will be punished severely."
"We must not let the people know that their actions are crimes after they have been punished, and we must also increase the punishment for some knowingly committed acts."
"Punishment is not the goal, the purpose of the law is to protect the people, so that all the people can live in peace."
Qin Shi Huang was suddenly stunned, the Qin law in his eyes was for the stability of Great Qin.
And Qin Lu in Jiang Xia's eyes......
It's to protect the people!
If the people are stable, won't Great Qin be stable?!
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat!
This is the real way of peace!
"Thank you, sir, for your advice!"
Immediately, Qin Shi Huang realized another problem, not all people could read and hyphenate.
When he promoted the Qin law, he asked officials from all over the country to teach the people the law, not to mention that the results were not great, and the people also had a lot of complaints.
It can be said that the effort is thankless.
"How can there be so many officials to teach the people the law?"
"The county will regularly organize scholars from all over the country to study the law, and after they have completed their studies, they will go to various places to explain it, which will be counted as their volunteer labor time recorded."
"Compulsory working hours?" Qin Shi Huang was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Li Si.
What are Compulsory Labor Hours?
Li Si shook his head, he had just come to Yangwu, and he didn't know much about it.
"Yangwu has a scope of voluntary labor, such as maintaining order on the roads, taking care of the elderly and widows, etc., and everyone can earn voluntary labor hours. The accumulated labor time can be exchanged for money, food and other things, and if you save enough, you can also enter the county government as an official. ”
Government official!
This is what most ordinary people strive for.
Of course, there are strict conditions for entering the county government, and not everyone can become an official.
Qin Shi Huang was stunned when he heard this, ordinary people can become officials through labor service, this is an incomparably sweet bait!
Today's officials mainly rely on recommendation, and learning is not the most important thing, the important thing is the circle!
Even if a person is rich and rich, if he doesn't know an official who appreciates him, if he wants to become an official in the court, it is absolutely wishful thinking.
And Jiangxia's move is equivalent to giving these people a way to cross classes!
Although there are still a few knowledgeable ordinary people, it also gives everyone a hope, making the people of Yangwu feel that they can get everything they want as long as they work hard!
Difficult, but hopeful!
Can......
Qin Shi Huang frowned, giving ordinary people such hope, wouldn't it move the interests of the gate valve family?
Won't the gate valve family obstruct everywhere?
"Sir, if you do this, isn't there any opposition from the gate valve family?"
It is precisely because of the monopoly of knowledge that the family of gate valves has monopolized the circle of officials and wealth, so that it can gradually develop and grow.
If Jiang Xia did this and gave ordinary people a way to rise, would the gate valve family be willing?
The corners of Jiang Xia's mouth hooked, "Your Majesty thinks why the gate valve family can become a gate valve family?" ”
Qin Shi Huang pondered for a long time, "Because...... Accumulate? ”
"Not bad!"
It is precisely because of the accumulation of generations that the gate valve family can develop more and more, and at its peak, even the emperor has to look at the face of the gate valve family.
Although the gate valve family has not yet formed a climate, it has begun to take shape.
How could Jiang Xia allow them to grow and develop?
"So, Yangwu has a special law." The corners of Jiang Xia's mouth hooked.
The door valve family can gradually accumulate and grow, in addition to the family mastered the knowledge and promotion channels, the most important thing is ......
Today's inheritance is mainly the primogeniture system, where the eldest son inherits the family, while the other heirs depend on the family to survive, so as to ensure that the family will not be divided and can continue to expand.
And what Jiang Xia interrupted was the road of continuous accumulation and expansion of the family!
"The law of Yangwu stipulates that everyone in the family, regardless of gender, has the right to inherit wealth equally!"
Equal inheritance!
Qin Shi Huang was stunned, and the whole person was stupid.
If only everyone could inherit the wealth of the family equally......
No matter how big the family is, after a few generations, the wealth will be divided among the heirs, how can there be a situation where one family is dominant?
But......
"Can this law really be enforced?"
"In the face of interests, the many descendants of the gate valve family will take the lead in promoting the implementation of this law!"
Originally, they had no inheritance rights and could only rely on the power of their families to survive.
But since you can have the right to inherit wealth, why do you have to rely on others?
Not to mention that it is just brothers, even between father and son, there is also a lot of trouble!
This is the benefit.
This law was not only enforced by Yangwu, but was very popular throughout Sanchuan County.
Of course, there are also some family members who do not want their wealth to be divided by their heirs, so they move their families away from Sanchuan County.
But......
Now, this law has entered the sight of Qin Shi Huang!
Even if they leave Sanchuan County, what can they do?
Qin Shi Huang's eyes lit up at this time, and he said to Li Si, "Go and study the laws of Yangwu in detail immediately!" ”
If possible, he will enforce the law of Yangwu throughout the country!
"Whoa!"
Once this law is promulgated, I don't know how many official families will make a lot of trouble, how can they have the leisure to take care of his great cause in the world?!
In this matter, we must find a suitable opportunity to carry it out!
It's just that......
"Yangwu can successfully implement such a law because of Mr. alone, if he wants to implement it in all parts of the world, what should he do?"
Yangwu, and even the entire Sanchuan County, as long as they take out the name of Jiangxia Immortals, and want to implement a new law, it can be said that it is extremely easy.
But if you want to promote it in the world......
I'm afraid it's hard to climb!
