Silver Overlord - Chapter 849

[Chapter 816: Try Bravely]

“This is how the selection process of the county magistrate in Jia’an County is like this. Everything went smoothly and nothing went wrong. It just surprised me that in the end, all the sages in Jia’an County voted for Wang Shao the most. Becoming

a magistrate…”

After busy with the selection of magistrates in Jia’an County, Shi Changfeng and his party returned to Pingxi City. Shi Changfeng also went directly to Yan Liqiang to report on the selection process of the county magistrate in Jia’an County during the day.

Neither of them had dinner, so Yan Liqiang and Shi Changfeng were eating and chatting in the back garden of the Governor’s House.

Yan Liqiang poured a glass of wine for Shi Changfeng, then asked with a smile, “Did you think that all the sages in Jia’an County would choose Su Youlun in the end?”

“How did the supervisor know?” Shi Changfeng was a little surprised looked at Yan Liqiang.

“Have the same spirit and the same voice. You and Su Youlun

have known each other before, have had contact, and have personal friends. If you think he is not bad, you naturally hope that he will win!”

The winner of Jia’an County is Wang Shao?”

“Guess a little in advance, the Wang family is a big family in Jia’an County, and the family is wealthy. As a local squire, Wang Shao has built bridges and paved roads in the local area before, helping orphans and widows, and his reputation is not bad, Wang Shao. This man is also smart. He knows that what the local people hate most is the corrupt officials. If the officials are corrupt, the common people will lose one point. Every penny of the officials is actually scraped from the common people. So you Look at what he swears and swears to say before the village sages vote. What he wants now is fame, not money. With the confidence of his royal family, he is indeed qualified to say that. Those village sages are not stupid, they all know , As long as the county magistrate is not greedy, even if he is a little incompetent, he will only follow the rules. In fact, it has little impact. The one who can make the people in the county live a stable life is a good official. Naturally, there are many people who vote for him. , Shao Yuanjie and Su Youlun are both a little worse than Wang Shao…”

“So it is!” Shi Changfeng shook his head and smiled, clinking glasses with Yan Liqiang and drinking a sip of wine, “One more thing, this time I went to Jia’an County to learn that there are actually some problems in the selection of Jia’an County’s sages this time. , In some places, the local sages, that is, the local pavilion chief Jiachang, has not been elected by the people. In the next four years, the power of the village sages in Jia’an County will increase greatly, but these people have picked up a bargain…”

“It started to be picked up by people.

Cheap is also normal, because the people in Jia’an County did not know that the name of this township could affect the selection of county magistrates, and not many people paid attention to it. After the selection of magistrates in the four counties this time, the whole Pingxi The people of the county know that the name of this town sage is not a false one, but a real power, which can select and supervise the county magistrate. If you are fooled by a few people at will, then we will set the rules for local people to choose the village sages, and everything will fall into place. Once the rules are set, there will definitely be fraudulent people at the beginning.

Let’s catch a few and kill a few. If you support the people a few times, no one will dare to play tricks…”

Hearing Yan Liqiang’s words, Shi Changfeng suddenly understood that Yan Liqiang had already known that some of the village sages elected by the four counties had problems. Yes, it’s not very standardized, but Yan Liqiang doesn’t care, because this election and selection is just to attract others, Yan Liqiang’s purpose is to let the people in the county know the importance of the position of Xiangxian, let everyone pay attention to it, and also know that the county magistrate can do this Come.

“Do you want to comprehensively promote the selection of county magistrates in Qiyun County in the future?”

Yan Liqiang shook his head, “This is not urgent, let’s take a look first, this time the four counties, even if it is a pilot, see Let’s see what’s wrong with doing this. Summarize the experience. If the effect is really good, then we can consider and promote it. Now the system of the Han Empire has been handed down for many years. Many people are used to it, and they want to completely deny it all at once It’s not realistic to set the rules, and there might be a big mess. We can take small steps. After the selection of the county magistrates in the four counties is over, I plan to make some changes in the four counties. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you, Teacher Shi, to take action…”

Hearing Mr. Shi’s familiar name from Yan Liqiang’s mouth again, Shi Changfeng smiled, “Liqiang, what are you going to do?”

“What I’m going to do is also related to Xiangxian!”

“It’s related to Xiangxian. , Liqiang, do you think the power of the four county sages is not strong enough now?”

Yan Liqiang didn’t answer directly, but shook his head and asked, “There are 32 volumes of “The Law of the Han Dynasty” in the Great Han Empire, including one volume of famous examples. , the second volume of official law, the seventh volume of household law, the second volume of ritual law, the fifth volume of military law, the twelve volume of criminal law, the third volume of labor law, and only one volume of name law, including five punishments, rods, prisoners, stream, death, etc. Ten evils, rebellion, great rebellion, rebellion, wicked rebellion, immorality, disrespect, unfilial piety, discord, injustice, civil strife, eight discussions, relatives, reasons, merits, virtuous, capable, and Diligent, discussing nobles, discussing guests, the content is detailed and complete. This “Dahan Law” can almost be said to be perfect, without omissions. “Dahan Law” not only takes the essence of the laws of the previous dynasty, but also compiled by countless capable and wise men of this dynasty. Looking at the Silver Continent, there are only a handful of countries and races that have such complete laws. The protection of the people of the world in this “Law of the Great Han” can not be said to be inconsiderate, nor can it be said that the punishment for those who commit crimes and corrupt illicit money is not unreasonable. Now that the Great Han Empire has the “Law of the Great Han”, why are there countless people who want to rebel and join the White Lotus Sect? If the world changes slightly, why do people from all over the world swarm and no one believes in any law?”

Shi Changfeng put down the wine glass in his hand, frowned, and pondered for a moment, “The reason is that this “Law of the Great Han” is good, but it is too difficult to enforce the law impartially, making it difficult for the people at the bottom to seek justice and justify it. , once the grievances are deep, the only way is to use violence to control violence…”

“Yes, that is exactly the case. If the “Law of the Han Dynasty” of the Han Empire can really be implemented, local governments can handle cases impartially and enforce the law, so that the good will be protected and the evil will be protected. Punish the weak, let the weak rely on it, and fear the strong, and can keep the bottom line of legality and justice in people’s hearts. In this world, where are there so many arrogant and lewd, domineering and domineering officials who do not care about the life and death of the common people, where can there be so much hostility People who are serious, want to kill officials and rebel at every turn, how can this White Lotus Sect respond with one voice and make such a big fuss in the Han Empire? There was a problem with the execution!”

“But what does this have to do with Xiangxian?” Shi Changfeng didn’t understand for a while.

“Of course it does, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com and it has a lot to do with it. Ninety-nine percent of the people in this world, and ninety-nine percent of the lawsuits they encounter in their lifetime, are all within one county. It can be solved. In the past, as long as there were only one or two county magistrates who were corrupt and perverted the law in this county, the whole county would be in a state of chaos. Every law was a piece of paper, and any case could be decided by them. Once this commoner enters the official yamen, he is like fish and meat on a chopping board. There is no room for struggle. I plan to implement a jury system in the four counties in the future. All lawsuits in the four counties must be judged by seven townships. Xian participates in the judgment of the chief judge. If the final result cannot get the consent of more than four of the seven township men, it will be invalid. One hundred township men in each county will take turns to draw lots to participate in the trial of lawsuits within a county. , it cannot be pre-ordered. After the case is over, the files of the case file, the decision of the trial judge, and the opinions of the jurors are all published on the list, so that the people can see that this method, although it cannot completely prevent people from corrupting money and perverting the law, But it can eliminate and reduce the harm caused by corruption to the greatest extent, increase the cost of corruption and distortion of the law, minimize the number of unfair trials and lawsuits, and allow the public opinion to be truly reflected…”

Shi Changfeng was stunned. Now, I never thought that Yan Liqiang could come up with such a method in his head, but thinking about it carefully, this method is indeed a hundred times stronger than the current system of the Han Empire. If it can be popularized, it may be possible to do it As Yan Liqiang said, let the good be protected, the evil be punished, the weak be supported, and the strong be feared, and no longer allow one or two corrupt officials to completely destroy the rule of law in a county and the people’s respect for the imperial government. trust……
