I am the king of the dead

Hu Wei said step by step: "Actually, Your Majesty, the current situation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is caused by Your Majesty."

"Huh?" Zhu Qiyu paused, full of doubts.

What has it to do with him?

Hu Wei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yu Qian, Xu Youzhen, Wang Wen, Chen Yi, Li Binyan, and Li Xian are all from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Lin Cong, the criminal department next to Yang Jun, is the king of Samarkand. Fu and Wang Yue are also the officials of Feng Xian."

"These talented people have been sent out by His Majesty and transferred to work. Isn't this what the Procuratorate looks like?"

Lin Cong and Jinshi Wen were appointed to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, counselor Yang Jun for military affairs, and immediately went to Huguang after the settlement of the Nanya affairs.

Indeed, these are Fengxian officials, and now they are scattered all over the Ming Dynasty.

"Hu Shangshu doesn't plan to be a slanderous minister, but a straight minister? If you are guilty of stabbing the widow, just give me a good luck box." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Concubine Li Shu gave birth to a princess, and Chen Zhaoyi gave birth to a princess." Emperor's heir, add four silver coins."

Hu Wei was very clear about the addition of a newcomer to Tai'an Palace. He would go to Tai'an Palace to give lectures to the emperor's heir, so he naturally knew some things about Tai'an Palace.

He bowed his head and said, "I congratulate Your Majesty, and I congratulate Daming."

Everyone in Beijing has Pepsi Daji Box, and Ti Qi has already sent it to the mansion. Today the mansion is open for the night, and all the officials have a share, and there are four silver coins, which are happy money.

Zhu Jiancheng, Zhu Jianjun, Zhu Jianwei, and Zhu Jianzhi all had their own routines, as did the fourth prince Zhu Jianze and the third daughter Zhu Jianrong.

When Li Binyan arrived in the capital, the first thing he saw was Jin Lian Jin Shangshu, who was eager to see through his eyes, then he went to the official department, and finally he went to the lecture hall to return to the saint.

As spring went and autumn came, Li Binyan saw His Majesty last time in Nan Ya, and more than a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

The trees in the martial arts lecture hall of the capital were lush and lush, and some of the ground began to harden. Li Binyan came to Juxian Pavilion. He once said some stupid things at the salt and iron meeting in Juxian Pavilion, and they are still talked about by people.

The last time Li Binyan returned to Beijing, he went up to the second floor, but this time he went to the first floor.

"See Your Majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live." Li Binyan made a big salute as soon as he entered the door, and he hadn't seen him for more than a year.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Let's sit down, Xing'an, give Governor Li a Pepsi Daji box, there is a happy event in Tai'an Palace, it just so happens."

"According to the schedule, you were supposed to go to Beijing yesterday to reunite with your family. What's the delay?"

Li Binyan hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have learned from you that I stopped in Zhang Qiu for a day. Governor Xu and Zongxian Chen were in Zhang Qiu to control the water before. I went to have a look when I passed by. The river section is indeed easy to be silted up. Governor Xu and Mr. Chen Zongxian is really good at managing the river."

Only then did Zhu Qiyu understand that Li Binyan was returning to Beijing by boat, and he was taking the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Thinking about utilitarianism, Li Binyan passed by Zhang Qiu when he returned to Beijing to return to his life. If the emperor asked him, but he didn't know what to ask, wouldn't that delay his official career?

What Zhu Qiyu held in his hand were some viewpoints of Cangmingliu written by Peng Sui. Peng Sui did not assert anything about Cangmingliu, which needs to be verified repeatedly by the boat masters.

The second part is the survey of Jilong Island. The climate on the island is hot. Affected by the Cangming Current, Jilong Island is free from frost all year round and it grows three times a year.

However, due to the lack of necessary medical care, less than 3 people on Jilong Island can only live on the mountainside. This is also the main reason why Ryukyu has been populated since the Three Kingdoms period, but has not been developed.

Too hot, the temperature is about the same as Luzon.

Jilong Island has a typical subtropical island climate. There is no obvious change of seasons in the plains, but there are changes of seasons in the mountains.

May to September is the rainy season, followed by the typhoon season, but because of the blocking of Jilong Mountain, most of the plains in the west are less affected.

There is a unique wind, which is called Foehn by the locals, also known as the falling mountain wind.

The mountain wind is dry, hot, and strong, and it seems to burn everything when it blows, so it needs to be replenished in time.

The development of Jilong Island requires a lot of ginger to prevent heat and humidity. Also, the temperature changes greatly in winter, but people will never freeze to death.

Li Binyan wrote tens of thousands of words about the development of Jilong Island.

"Exile to Jilong Island is definitely much better than exile to Yongning Temple." Zhu Qiyu followed Li Binyan's memorial. Yongning Temple really freezes to death in winter. Compared with Yongning Temple, Jilong Island is like a paradise.

Li Binyan nodded and said, "That's natural."

If it weren't for the development of Jilong Island, how could this group of exiles have such good treatment?

But this is the first time that Ming has extended his hand to the ocean, and it is a shift from land power to land and sea.

He thought of the Yongle Sword he took off in front of Juxian Pavilion and said: "Your Majesty, should that sword be taken back?"

"Take it." Zhu Qiyu signaled Li Binyan to take it with him.

He didn't intend to take it back, the Yongle sword was pressing down on Nanya, some meat eaters kept jumping out.

Without the Yongle Sword, could he lead the army to suppress the rebellion?

Li Binyan talked about the Songjiang Shipping Department, and he took out a thick ledger, which was just a catalog.

He said like a few treasures: "Songjiang City Shipping Department has issued 210 ship certificates for three-masted ships this year. There are a total of 17 merchant ships entering and leaving, nearly a thousand tribute ships entering and leaving, and the cargo handled is nearly [-] million catties. It covers everything."

"Including 170 million shi of Champa rice, 45 shi of Susong white rice, 12 shi of spices, more than 40 dan of Songjiang cotton cloth, [-] jin of tung oil, and more than [-] jin of fish oil..."

"The black gold that His Majesty is looking for has also been found. It is on the island of Java. This time I came to Beijing and brought a bucket."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the ledger, it was just a general ledger, the real ledger had already been carried to the Ministry of Finance.

"Songjiang Baoyuan Bureau absorbs nearly 400 million silver coins, and Nanya absorbs more than 800 million silver coins in total. This time they are escorted to Beijing." Li Binyan finally talked about the purpose of this trip.

The reason why he returned to the capital in person was that the Baoyuan Bureau retained nearly [-]% of the money for deposit and withdrawal, and the rest of the silver was escorted back to the capital.

This money is too much!

Li Binyan was afraid of being intercepted on the road, so he personally escorted him. If he lost it, Li Binyan didn't have to go back to Beijing, he just found a pit and buried himself.

Fortunately, the heavily armed Daming Jingjun escorted the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and some rogue bandits along the way were all calmed down.

The silver will be deposited in the household department and the internal storage, and it needs to be pressed into silver coins.Secondly, the money will probably never be returned to Nanya in this lifetime.

It should be used in the hardening of official roads and post roads, the dredging of forty thousand miles of waterways, and the construction of various official factories.

"Nanya is really rich." Zhu Qiyu was filled with emotion.

He harvested a few waves, as if he could not finish harvesting, one crop after another grew, and this Baoyuan Bureau squeezed out another 800 million taels.

There is still a long way to go from the hundreds of millions of development funds, and it is imperative that the rich and right people work harder to make money, and then deposit it in the Daming Baoyuan Bureau to contribute to the great development of Daming.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea." Li Binyan leaned forward and said, "Is it possible for merchants to carry knives under the Ryukyu restrictions?"

"What I mean is that after entering the Ryukyu Islands and Jilong Island, one should draw a bow and fill a merchant ship, and discuss it as Japanese pirates."

Chapter 518 How can there be a party?All are His Majesty's servants

It is an unspoken rule invented by Li Binyan that merchant ships carry knives. This rule was a helpless move by the Mizhou Shipping Department at the beginning.

Now Li Binyan wants to change the port where you can't stretch your bow to fill medicine, and change it to Daming sea where you can't stretch your bow to fill medicine.

"Your Majesty, the Daming Navy already has [-] warships. At this time next year, there will be seven Fukuo boats of [-] and more than [-] warships going into the sea. Your Majesty, merchants should get used to the quiet waters of Daming. It's time." Li Binyan thought it was time.

And Zhu Qiyu thought about it for a long time and said: "Not enough, it is too little. When I was in Nanya, I asked Xu Chengzong. During the Yongle period, there were more than 300 inspection departments and more than [-] ships patrolling the river. Inspection, war seat ship."

"Even so, Zhang Gong was never banned at the beginning."

"No, Wanli Haitang is also the Daming Sea, and it's still not stable."

Nanyang and Wanli Haitang are both other names for the South China Sea. The Ming Dynasty had warships and inspection departments in the Ryukyu Islands, but what about Nanyang?

To the north of Jilong Island, a large number of Japanese pirates and pirates have been put down, but it is still not very peaceful, and Nanyang is even less peaceful.

Moreover, dozens of boats are equivalent to no boats!

Where is there any talk about sea and border security?

Only then did Li Binyan realize that there was something wrong with what he said.

Wanli Haitang is also the sea area of ​​Ming Dynasty, Peng Sui erected monuments everywhere, isn't it just to confirm the boundary?

It is a one-size-fits-all lazy policy to prohibit all merchants from opening their bows and filling medicines in the Daming sea area, and they need to be treated differently.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "After leaving Hong Kong, Zhang Gong is allowed to fill up the medicine, just in case."

"Pirates are rampant. No matter whether the sea merchants are loyal or not, they are my subjects and workers. I cannot let them fall into the conflict of violating the laws of Ming Dynasty and protecting themselves at sea."

The reason why Zhu Qiyu made such a decision is because even in later generations, when there is a certain international order, how many ships are still harassed by various pirates?How many security companies have been born?

Zhu Qiyu doesn't think the sea is peaceful now, even Li Binyan thinks that the Daming sea area is already in a high-security area, but Zhu Qiyu doesn't think so.

"But Your Majesty, maritime merchants are powerful. They are merchants in name, but they are bandits in reality. They run amok at sea. After a ship capsizes, there is no way to investigate." Li Binyan frowned into a mountain.

Maritime merchants are not kind people. They have no taboos at sea. They are called merchants but are actually bandits. After such a long time, the Japanese plague will rise again.

"There are another five years, let's discuss this matter again." After Zhu Qiyu thought about it seriously, he still refused to listen to Li Binyan's idea.

Zhu Qiyu refused to issue this ban precisely because someone was dishonestly being a merchant and robbing the sea.

It would be appropriate to discuss this issue after giving Daming another five years, at least thousands of warships and hundreds of treasure ships.

In the final analysis, there are still too few ships.

Li Binyan thought about it carefully, and then said: "Your Majesty is wise."

He understood His Majesty's thoughts, even though the maritime merchants were not so loyal, His Majesty still regarded them as members of Ming Dynasty.

"I know that you and Li Xian are both deeply persecuted by the powerful and right-handed. I can understand how I hate them, but I think that before they were convicted, they were members of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qiyu was talking about the basics of law. attribute, prudence.

There is a saying in the law of the Ming Dynasty: Robbers, criminals of all kinds of crimes, and new criminals who commit capital crimes, all push and question six times.

Judicial prudence is an important humanistic spirit of the Central Plains Dynasty from the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty to the present.

"Shangshu" said: "There is forgiveness for doubts about the five punishments, and the trial restrains them."

If you make a mistake, you should not judge the guilt subjectively by the superior. Instead, you should interrogate, search for evidence, and after repeated investigations, you should be punished if you are indeed guilty.

This is the basic attitude of judicial prudence.

Even in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the world of Datong pursued by the Legalists was a world where the country was ruled by law and everything was ruled by the law.

But legalists still oppose the presumption of guilt.

The legalists' thoughts focus on law, power, art, punishment, punishment, reward, profit, public, private, farming, war, etc., but no matter how you look at it, no one in the Legalists supports any guilt. presumption.

The death penalty, after the Tang Dynasty, also formed a perfect three-fold process, which is to prevent the occurrence of irreversible judicial tragedies.

There are always some injustices in history that make people regret.

For example, in the big case of Zhao Gou killing Yue Fei in the early Southern Song Dynasty, Qin Hui had been prime minister for thirteen years, but he didn't make up a suitable crime for Yue Fei, and in the end he could only set the tone with three words.

Qin Hui searched Yue Fei's mansion, found Yue Fei's armor, and wanted to convict him for hiding the armor.

But on that armor, there are many scars, it is a gift from the emperor.

Qin Fa is undoubtedly the representative of the Legalists. Back then, the first emperor received the world's swords and soldiers to cast twelve golden men.

The law of the Qin Dynasty is the same for a hundred generations, and there is no essential difference. It is said that the first emperor received the world's swords and weapons, but didn't all dynasties and generations prohibit the private possession of strong crossbows and armor?

Don't say it with your mouth, but when you practice it, you are still very honest.

One piece of armor and a strong crossbow were kept privately and exiled for three thousand miles;

If it is a woodcutter, it is reasonable to bring a knife to chop wood.

If it is a hunter, it is reasonable to bring a bow to hunt.

But what is the purpose of hiding armor?Therefore, hiding armor in private is often tantamount to rebellion.

Zhu Qiyu went on to say: "Some time ago, something happened in Meizhou, Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan. A farmer named Wang Er was suspected of stealing a cow. Under the torture of the magistrate of Meizhou, he was beaten into a trick and was imprisoned unjustly."

"This Zhizhou has just been sentenced to exile, and that cow has returned by itself."

"As a result, the magistrate of Meizhou beat the cow to death privately in order to prevent being passed the examination, and even more afraid that the torture would be discovered, and he was convicted of the king's ear. In the end, it became a half-clothed road, and a group of robbers filled the mountain."

The ocher clothes are the terracotta clothes of the prisoners. There are more and more unjust prisons, and the prisoners finally escape and become bandits on the mountain.

"Later, Wang Er ran away, and Zhizhou was killed by Wang Er at home. You Si went to investigate and found out the details."

In this case, Zhizhou paid the price with his life, and the people became bandits, and they were in constant fear.

Official Ying of Sichuan General Soldier went to quell the bandits, and after the investigation, he could only sigh in vain. Fang Ying escorted Wang Er to Beijing.

The facts were clear, and Wang Er also pleaded guilty.

But everything, because of judicial negligence, caused an outright tragedy.

But Zhu Qiyu changed the subject and continued: "Prudence is inevitable, but it can't become like the former Song Dynasty. Entrance is more important than exit. If you doubt prison, you will share it with everyone. If you forgive everyone, you will lose it." Judicial independence."

The judicial practice of the entire Song Dynasty adhered to the tradition of "heavy crimes and light crimes". It is not a big problem to accidentally let a criminal go away.

The judiciary of the Song Dynasty treated the death penalty as stabbing as much as possible, and exile as much as possible for stabbing, and rod punishment for exile, and the lighter punishment for rod cane.

Shouting that the punishment and reward are the most honest, and treating the judiciary as a plaything.

At the slightest doubt, some people coerced their momentum and turned the death penalty into exile, turning major events into minor ones, and finally nothing happened.

Li Binyan thought for a long time, and finally understood His Majesty's words.
