Han Dao world

He had heard of Zhang Zhongjing, and knew that Zhang Zhongjing was now a sacrificial drinker in the medical school, but he didn't know that Zhang Zhongjing specialized in epidemic prevention.

Today, Zhang Zhongjing is most famous not for his knowledge of epidemic prevention, but for his Rejuvenation Pill.

Since Hussar General Zhang Ji took Huichun Pill and gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another in half a hundred years, Zhang Zhongjing has become a miracle doctor in the eyes of many people who are eager to have a child.Not many people know about his knowledge of epidemic prevention.

The two chatted for a long time, and the imperial doctor told Gao Rou to take a good rest. Apart from taking the medicine according to the doctor's advice, it would be best to ask Mrs. Bian to cook some food from his hometown.Mrs. Bian is from Yuzhou, and she is no stranger to Yanzhou food, and she is very good at it.

Gao Rou was very surprised. Mrs. Bian is the current Shang Lingjian who specially prepares food for the emperor. Can he also ask Mrs. Bian to order food?

The imperial doctor laughed.

He told Gao Rou that Shangshijian never served the emperor alone, just as the imperial medical office did not treat the emperor alone.As long as you come to Xingzai, you can enjoy the food made by Shangshijian.

Usually, it's all about going to a restaurant.However, Gao Rou is in poor health, so it can be specially customized and delivered.Unless she is too busy, Mrs. Bian will be satisfied.

Gao Rou was overjoyed, thank you again and again.

He has been away from home for a long time, and he has long missed the food in his hometown.

After sending the imperial physician away, he immediately arranged for his followers to inquire about the news.

Not long after, the entourage came back, followed by a young man in his early ten years, who was Mrs. Bian's son Cao Zhi.Cao Zhi brought a pen and paper, asked about Gao Rou's situation in detail, and finally recommended a few foods.

This is a Chenliu delicacy that has ready-made materials and can be made at any time.

In addition, Cao Zhi also recommended some local food.Although the taste may not suit you, it has a certain medicinal effect, which can help Gaorou recover quickly.

Gao Rou was very surprised. Is Shangshijian's service so thoughtful and professional?

-

With the assistance of the Monk Food Superintendent of the Imperial Medical Office, Gao Rou recovered quickly, even better than before she fell ill.

After receiving the news, Liu Xie met Gao Rou.

Seeing Gao Rou's mental state, he was very satisfied. "After all, he is a young man, so he recovers quickly."

Gao Rou stepped forward to thank her. "My minister, He Dehe Neng, received medicine from His Majesty, and food from Shang Shijian."

Liu Xie was a little surprised, and asked about the Shangshi Supervisor, and then said: "I sent the imperial doctor, Shangshijian, probably Mrs. Bian felt the feelings of the township party, and specially prepared it for you. You don't have to thank me." .”

"Even so, if it weren't for His Majesty's grace, how could Shang Shijian prepare food for people other than His Majesty and the nobles. What is good at the top will be appreciated by the subordinates. Only when Your Majesty loves people can the departments be so dedicated."

Liu Xie thought about it, then nodded with a smile. "If you say that, I will not be humble. There are specialties in the art industry. There are so many things in the world that no one person can do it all. Therefore, it is very important for everyone to have a specialty. Just like a doctor who studies medicine intensively, he respects food If you specialize in delicacies, you will create a law school in the future, and you must teach students to study the law with heart. The country must be law-abiding, how to legislate and how to enforce the law is a university question."

Speaking of Gao Rou's professional issues, Gao Rou immediately became serious.

"What Your Majesty said is sincerely the voice of my ministers. Before I set off on the imperial edict, I also listened to Sikong's teachings. I should help your majesty revise the old laws and formulate new ones with a benevolent heart. Cleaning your hands is not only a righteous body, but also a righteous heart. If you dare to act as your majesty, why do you want to legislate?"

Liu Xie was not surprised at all.

For Gao Rou to be recommended by Zhou Zhong, he must have a common language with Zhou Zhong in some aspects, and it also represents a part of Zhou Zhong's will.

But he's not worried about that.

He believed that even if Gao Rou was influenced by Zhou Zhong, she would not be so stubborn.

One is that the law must adapt to the times, and change is an inherent nature. People who study law will not be as old-fashioned as those who study classics and hold on to the Five Classics.

Second, Gao Rou is young after all, only 30 years old this year.The ten years since he turned 20 have been a decade of new winds, and he has been in the Sikong Mansion for several years, so it is impossible to have no influence at all.

"My monarch and ministers regard the kingly way as the basis of legislation." Liu Xie was calm and unhurried. "Shang Yang was born in the Warring States period, and his mind was fighting for hegemony. Zhang Tang was born in the early Han Dynasty, and his mind was on strengthening the country. After Guangwu, Confucianism flourished, and the prison was sentenced in the Spring and Autumn Period. 150 years later, the pros and cons are obvious to all. Now to reform the law, we must first do something to the previous law. After sorting it out, are you willing to accept this important task?"

Gao Rou was overjoyed and bowed to accept the order. "I would like to wholeheartedly repay Your Majesty."

Chapter 1211 Legislation

Gao Rou and Liu Xie hit it off, and they talked very speculatively.

When he first set off southward, he was still very worried.On the one hand, it was Zhou Zhong's influence, and on the other hand, he himself had heard a lot of things, and felt that the emperor was not an easy person to get along with, especially because he still had the status of Chen Liugao's aristocratic family.

If the emperor wanted to make things difficult for him, he would not be surprised at all.

He is also ready.

But he never expected that not only did the emperor not make things difficult for him, but he trusted him very much, and frankly stated that he would take the kingly way as his heart.

It is no secret that the emperor wants to practice the kingly way, but not everyone believes it.

I feel that the emperor's practice of the king's way is just talking about it, and there are many people who find excuses for suppressing the family and forcibly saving the land.

After all, although the Son of Heaven returned power to Situ and Sikong, he did not completely let go, and interference in the official affairs of the two governments often occurred.One of the fundamental reasons for the heavy sentence in last year's escape from abroad case was that the emperor was furious and directly interfered with the Sikong Mansion's decision.

Nowadays, when old laws are changed and new laws are established, many people have concerns about whether the emperor will write his selfishness into written laws.

Sikong Zhouzhong was the one with the most worries.

Now meeting with the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven firmly stated that he would aim to achieve the kingly way, with a sincere attitude and no concealment, Gao Rou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With this premise, the next thing will be easy to handle.

The two then discussed the origins, gains and losses of the Qin Law, setting the tone for the establishment of the law school and the formulation of new laws.

Liu Xie didn't say much about the specific provisions. This aspect is not his specialty, and he doesn't need to worry about it.

What he values ​​are the principles of the new law.

For this reason, he solemnly reiterated to Gao Rou the two meanings that all people are men.

First, everyone is equal before the law.

Everyone is a scholar, you can't be noble just because you are a student of Confucian classics, and I am inferior because I am a student of woodwork and medicine.I don't care about the fact that the etiquette is not inferior to the common people for the time being, and it will be considered when the etiquette is made in the future, but don't mention it again if the punishment is not worthy of the doctor.

Not being able to punish the doctor was originally to save face for the nobles, but the matter has changed so far, and it has become an excuse for the powerful to break the law.

This de facto inequality must be curbed in the new law.

If the law is broken, all are equal.Those who should be killed are killed, those who should be flown, and those who should be killed.

The second is that the law is the bottom line, and we should not force people to do things that are difficult for us, especially we cannot force the people to rebel.

The evil Qin Fa did was that he deprived the people of other options, leaving the people with no way out except farming and fighting.Not only that, the Qin law also used harsh provisions to set up traps, so that the people would break the law at every turn, and if they were not careful, they would become criminals, free labor for the state, and be squeezed to death.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the laws of the early Han Dynasty were equally strict.Later, after the transformation of Confucianism, it was much more relaxed, but it went to another extreme. Not only did it fail to correct the factors of Qin Law's failure, but it destroyed the factors of Qin Law's success.

Tolerance to the powerful.

It seems that the south and the north are diametrically opposed, but they lead to the same goal by different routes.

The result of being tolerant to the powerful is that it is not good for the common people.The rich and powerful took advantage of their own advantages to wantonly annex land, but shifted the responsibility of bearing taxes to the common people, and finally forced the common people to have no choice but to rise up.

They can't farm, they can only fight, and they don't fight for the country, they fight for their own survival.

Compared with Qin's farming and war system, the consequences of the seemingly lenient Han law are not lenient at all.

Gao Rou did not fully agree with Liu Xie's point of view, but he also admitted that the annexation issue was an important factor that led to the chaos at the end of Han Dynasty.The reason for this has something to do with Confucianism's transformation of Legalism.

This must be taken into account when formulating new laws.

Academic research can be considered in the long run, but the process of cultivating officials for Lingling and even the counties in the south of the Yangtze River should not be slow. Liu Xie discussed with Gao Rou that the county chiefs and law enforcement officials in Lingling County should be trained first, so that they can Understand the relevant systems, and clarify some doubts and difficulties in the implementation.

Local officials are the people who have the closest contact with the people. Whether they can act according to the law is directly related to the feelings of the people.

In many cases, it is not that there is a problem with the imperial court's decree, but that the local officials have deliberately or unintentionally changed their shape when implementing it, which makes the people unable to bear it and have to rise up to resist.

Of course, sometimes there is helplessness in not following the law.The provisions formulated by the imperial court did not consider the difficulty of local implementation. They were too taken for granted. The local governments could not implement them at all and could only be used as decorations.

Liu Xie asked Gao Rou to communicate more with students to understand the problems encountered in local implementation, and to reflect them in the formulation of new laws in the future.

Gao Rou readily agreed, and at the same time reminded Liu Xie that to achieve this step, not only time, but also manpower is needed, and of course it will inevitably consume more financial and material resources.

Liu Xie smiled.He reminded Gao Rou that as he said before, the goal of legislation is to realize the kingly way.How can we achieve the kingly way?Naturally, everyone has a bright future.

As long as this goal is not violated, it is appropriate and necessary to increase investment appropriately.

It's like an investment. If one cent of investment can bring two cents of benefits, why not invest?Not only to invest, but also to increase investment.Only when the investment exceeds the possible benefits, it is necessary to consider controlling the investment so as not to outweigh the gain.

When it came to this, Liu Xie mentioned something meaningful, just like when Queen Mother Deng expanded the Taixue.

Empress Dowager Deng expanded the Taixue and increased the expenditure of the imperial court, but she could not give full play to the value of the Taixue students, but instead made friends and discussed politics prevail.Tai students do not pursue their studies, and are busy all day bragging each other, talking, and even gathering crowds to make trouble and influence the government. That is a precedent for investment failure, and there will be endless troubles.

This kind of thing can't happen again.

Gao Rou thinks so.

Liu Xie immediately issued an edict ordering Lingling counties to select and send officials related to law enforcement to the county government in turn to receive training for a period of three months.Strive to educate all personnel once within a year, and select those who are suitable for further studies to prepare for the establishment of a law school.

The reason why the training starts with serving officials is that apart from improving governance efficiency immediately, there is another important reason.

The promotion of enlightenment in Lingling County was too slow and too late, and there were very few literate people.Most of those who can read a few words have already served as officials in counties and counties.Those who have little chance of becoming an official have neither the conditions nor the will to study.

With this time, wouldn't it be good to go into the mountains to gather some medicinal materials and hunt some wild animals?

Therefore, while Gao Rou was responsible for training officials and preparing to build a law school, Liu Xie had to prepare for another matter.

Revitalize industry and commerce, create county schools, and popularize education.

Talent is the foundation, if you don't know the ligatures, you can't talk about development.

While popularizing education, it is also necessary to find ways to increase productivity, boost the economy, and get more people out of simple farming, animal husbandry and fishery production.

If you can't get rich, there is no motivation to study.

The so-called reading is a rationale, which is only the pursuit of a small number of people, and cannot be the belief of the vast majority of ordinary people.

For ordinary people, reading is first of all to dress and eat, wear better clothes, and eat better meals.

Therefore, while Gao Rou is recruiting students, there is one more important thing to do.

The local tyrants who were arrested before were interrogated and sentenced.

Chapter 1212 Becoming a Human Again

The Quanling tycoons who supported Dou Fu in making troubles, but ended up self-defeating, have been imprisoned in the prison for more than a month.

In this more than a month, they have heard many actions of the emperor, and they know that they are in danger.It is easy to go bankrupt, and in severe cases, the family will be ruined and people will lose their wealth.

It would be a lie to say that I have no regrets.

But it was too late to regret, no one rescued them at all.Those who can be saved do not want to be saved, and most of those who want to be saved are in prison.

Although the emperor was young, his methods were clever. With a few edicts, not only the people in Lingling returned their hearts, but even the scholars who had always criticized the imperial court changed their camps and devoted themselves to serving the emperor.

Thinking of those scholars, these tyrants itch with hatred.

It is one aspect of hating scholars, but more of it is hating myself for not studying, not knowing enough about the outside situation, thinking that the court is still the same as before, beyond the reach of the whip, and finally let it go.

Who would have thought that the Son of Heaven would dispatch troops from the front line, directly control Quanling City, and seize their mines.

Although the miners are brave, they are still slightly inferior compared with the real army.

If they had known that the Son of Heaven was so tough, they would never have taken the risk.

But if they care about external affairs, like those scholars who often read some mansion newspapers, they will know that although the Son of Heaven is young, he is an extremely tough hero.The decline and rise of the great Han Dynasty has a great relationship with the emperor, rather than relying on aristocratic families, famous scholars and virtuous officials as rumored.

This is the news they have inquired from the jailer in the past few days.

Until later, they heard that the emperor had transferred a Ling Shi from the Sikong Mansion to try their case.

It is said that this person was surnamed Gao and was not very old, but he was from the Legalist family and was deeply trusted by the emperor.After arriving in Quanling, the water and soil were not acclimatized, and he fell ill. The emperor sent an imperial doctor to treat the illness, and sent Shangshi to give him food.After he recovered from his illness, he had several long talks with the emperor, which was appreciated by the emperor.

After listening to the tyrants, they were all hopeless.

Legalist background, must be harsh.

Young, must be ruthless.

Having won the trust of the emperor, they will naturally uphold the will of the emperor, and will not show mercy, using any vicious means until they plead guilty.

This time it was dead.

On the night when the news was heard, two people could not bear the pressure and hanged themselves to death.

It is normal for people to die in the prison, and the guards reported it step by step. By the time Gao Rou received the news, two days had passed.

Gao Rou didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately summoned county and county judicial personnel to prepare for the trial.In order to avoid similar situations, he first sent someone to issue an announcement that this trial will be handled in accordance with the law, and innocent people will never be killed indiscriminately.

This sentence, rather than saying it to the tyrants in the prison, it is better to say it to the officials and people in Quanling.

Hao Qiang is more willing to believe another way of saying: no one who is guilty can get away.Those who cooperate can suffer less.

Under such psychological pressure, Gao Rou's trial went very smoothly, and the tyrants confessed the whole incident frankly.Of course, there is no shortage of scolding those scholars.They danced the most fiercely beforehand, and when they found out that the situation was wrong, they turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone, and refused to even say a good word for them.

Jiang Wan and others who were watching were very embarrassed and felt ashamed.
