Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 736 All Roads Lead To...

Wang Cheng didn't make too many polite remarks and started preaching policies and regulations in a few words.

Guo Yu originally thought he was just here to enjoy the occasion, but as he listened, he slowly restrained his arrogance and listened carefully.

The content of Wang Cheng's speech is divided into several parts. The first is the legal provisions related to daily life, such as "City Management Law", "Security Traffic Law", "Public Security Law",... If you are not careful, you may violate it.If you really don't know anything about China, if you are a Korean, according to the old living habits, "breaking the law" is really a matter of minutes-it may even break the law as soon as you go out on the street.

But these legal provisions are not attractive, even though those present here obviously know them well.The same is true for Guo Yu.

The main purpose of Emperor Lu asking people to make such regulations is to establish a public order that he 'approves'.Although in the research of later generations, the intention of Emperor Lu was misinterpreted, and thus had a second meaning-the "hidden" thought of restricting the privileges of officials, gentry and wealthy households.

It is said that Emperor Lu did this for the purpose of ordering the public order, which facilitates the sanitation and management of the city, and also facilitates people's lives, thereby promoting the development of urban civilization.But at the same time, it is also to dispel the "privilege" mentality that those old upper-class people have long been accustomed to.In a sense, their high "status" is lowered to the same level as the common people who are "untouchables, mud legs, and inferior people" in their eyes.

Because for thousands of years, the latter has become accustomed to a superior posture in daily life.

That's not a matter of jumping in line when queuing, but a matter of "all the people in front should disperse, and my master will come first".

Now that he suddenly fell from the eyes of the clouds to the ground, the actual loss of interests is still a trivial matter, and the psychological blow and influence are more important.

God is pitiful, Emperor Lu really didn't think so at the time.By doing this, he is exercising a kind of privilege—you all have to follow my ideas and the rules I set.

But the reality is so absurd, presumably this is beyond the expectations of the great gods of time travel.

In the Zhao, Song, and even Li and Tang dynasties, although the government could not be mobilized by the big gentry with a single name card, it was only in terms of strength, and the essence did not change much.The government wants to give face to the big gentry.

But now what Emperor Lu pursues is that everyone is equal before the law!

The government will not treat you differently just because you are a wealthy family or have a reputation.You will be honored in matters big and small, and you can enjoy immunity and preferential treatment in a certain sense.

Although Emperor Lu knew that the slogan could not be realized, he pursued that everyone is equal before the law from the bottom of his heart.It may also be the intangible response of the front and back, which caused future generations to misunderstand.

His mind is not so deep.The level of digging holes is there, but it is not so magical.

The phrase "everyone is equal before the law" is very inspiring, and it was already shouted out by Lu Qian two years ago.At that time, coupled with the ruthlessness of the Qi army to 'clean' the world, it was very shocking.

But in fact?Emperor Lu just abolished some of the judicial abuses of the previous government, like ordinary people kneeling down and being beaten before the people sue the officials.And it changed the lawyer to a lawyer, which gave a huge improvement in status.

You know, there have been litigators since ancient times. These people can read and write, and know the law. Logically speaking, they are capable.But in fact their social status is very low.

Deng Xi of the State of Zheng in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is regarded as the originator of ancient litigators.This person is good at litigation, and his debating skills are unrivaled. According to historical records, he often "practices ambiguous theories and sets endless words", and can "hold reason and make sense".However, Deng Xi was killed by Shangqing Silu, who was in power in his country, as the culprit of disturbing the hearts of the people.Another example is the "Tang Law Shuyi Law of Fighting Litigation" which stipulates: "Those who make speeches for others, increase or decrease their appearance, if they are not as good as the accused, they will be whipped fifty times. If the crime is increased and the crime is serious, the false accusation will be reduced." In Zhao In the Song Dynasty, it was even worse. Before closing a case, the yamen almost always had to deal with a litigator.

Now Emperor Lu has raised the status of litigants a bit, legally allowing plaintiffs and defendants to hire lawyers to defend themselves.Although psychologically speaking, Emperor Lu himself did not have a good impression of lawyers.

Let's not mention this, just look at Wang Cheng's preaching, but there are "real materials".

This is an introduction to the 'hidden rules' of Lu Qi's upper class society.For example, under the structure of the provincial guild hall, the hometown associations in various states and counties are also in full swing.Therefore, these people here can also organize "hometown associations" by themselves.Even though there are very few people now, what about the future?People have to look forward and have long-term plans, right?
The "Hometown Association" is a powerful force, and it is really prosperous, so why not make your position in China more and more dependent?

Another focus is on charity.Because of Emperor Lu's permission, the harem led by Fang Jinzhi acted as event promoters, and the 'charity' activities were greatly developed all over the country.

Nowadays, many charitable organizations have emerged in various places, using various names, and swaying money to earn considerable popularity among the people.In Wang Cheng's view, as far as these people in front of him are concerned, they are all masters who are not short of money. Isn't charity organization a way for them to integrate into Chinese society?

"The charitable donations will be recorded one by one..."

"When the amount of donations reaches a certain level, the donor will be awarded the Medal of Honor by the local government..." To invite fame and fortune, this is the best and most suitable method for the people in front of you.

Of course, if you have outstanding literary talent and martial arts skills, that's another story.

If you are a literary talent, go to various literary clubs.There are countless of them, and the literati and bureaucrats among them will be very happy to see the barbarians who wholeheartedly admire China pay respect in front of them.

And the martial arts are high-strength, so why not go to Tai'an Prefecture?The world's number one competition under Mount Tai is a great place to make a name for yourself.

"Besides that, there is Buddhism." Wang Cheng respected the Tao.He glanced at the men with rosary beads in their hands.The Buddhism of the Yi people and the Buddhism of the Middle Earth are not the same thing.Not to mention those big beards.As far as he knows, the bearded people all believe in a kind of heavenly religion, and they are also very devout.But in the face of interests, does faith really work?
Anyway, if anyone gave him [-] guan and told him to believe in Buddhism, Wang Cheng would be more than happy to offer three sticks of incense in front of the Buddha.

Regardless of what the latter think, this is indeed a good way to go.In the name of charity, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples all over the world are not small clubs everywhere?The good lay people inside are all contacts.

In the end, Wang Cheng's words returned to the face of the law.

China prohibits slavery of its own people, and severe punishment will be imposed upon discovery.Emphasize this point.

"The so-called equality before the law does not mean that the government is going to favor the poor and the poor. It is based on facts, with the law as the yardstick, and doing things impartially! Courts and judges will not judge plaintiffs or defendants based on their wealth, gender, place of origin, or anything else. The reason is to favor whomever is favored. Instead, whoever is justified and legal is protected by the law. Whoever is unreasonable and who breaks the law is punished by the law!"

Guo Yu laughed secretly in his heart for the hype that was said above, and he thought it was too false.Then if the dignitaries of the Lu Qi Dynasty started a lawsuit with ordinary people, who would win?Does it go without saying?

In all Chinese dynasties, there has been a saying that "the prince breaks the law and the people are the same crime", but it is true that the sentence cannot be punished by a doctor. Who takes the former seriously?

"Your Majesty has something to say, the judiciary is not perfect yet. In the future, there will be various loopholes in the law. But we will do our best to make up for the loopholes. In order to achieve this, there are laws to follow, and there are laws to abide by." "Enforcement must be strictly enforced, and violations must be prosecuted."
