Chapter 1694, superiors must learn to be lazy
"Lao Liu, how is it?"

"Is my plan okay?"

On a road under construction in Dongcheng District, the dirty Zhu Houzhao showed off to Liu Jin proudly. He, the prince, is very interested in urban construction planning now, and even started to learn construction engineering again. The key is that as long as this group is If you don't learn to be an emperor, you can learn everything very quickly.

In a very short period of time, it turned out to be well-learned, and they are already at a certain level. The planning of Dongcheng District is well-organized. Now the main roads have been determined, and large-scale construction is taking place to form A road network that covers the entire Dongcheng District and connects other districts at the same time.

"It is indeed quite good. The road planning is neat and tidy, and the entire Dongcheng District is also well-organized. I believe that Dongcheng District will soon become the same as Nancheng District. It will become prosperous, lively, clean, tidy, and well-planned."

Along the way, Liu Jin really saw the huge changes in Dongcheng District, and nodded in agreement.

"Haha, that's right, don't even look at who I am."

"My plan here in Dongcheng District is absolutely professional."

"Looking at the current Dongcheng District, it looks much more comfortable. The roads are neatly planned, the districts are completely divided, and everything is well-organized and in good order."

"It's not like before, it's just dirty and messy, petty theft is rampant, and gang forces are arrogant and domineering."

Zhu Houzhao raised his little head proudly.

"Your Highness is amazing. If all the big cities in Ming Dynasty are planned like Your Highness, they won't be messy."

Liu Jin also nodded straight.

Zhu Houzhao was able to handle this matter, otherwise the dignitaries in the capital would not be afraid of anyone.

If it is done by another person, let alone planning, the road will not even be repaired.

Think about the road construction in rural areas in later generations, some people are not willing to give up any land, and they will dig up the roads that have been repaired.

The land in Dongcheng District is expensive, and road construction takes up a lot of land. How can the rich and powerful let you pass on their roads.

It is estimated that you will definitely be asked to build roads from other people's land next to you, so that you can take advantage of it and benefit without paying for the land. The human heart is like this, and selfishness is the essence.

It was Zhu Houzhao, the prince, who first took his uncle's house and killed the chicken for the monkey to see. Naturally, the other dignitaries had nothing to say.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao planned Dongcheng District without any estimates at all. The roads were built straight, and the supporting sewage system and water supply system were built according to the optimal plan, so the planning of the entire Dongcheng District was excellent.

"Yes, yes, we have to follow our capital. The Urban Management Bureau, the Urban Construction Bureau, and the Prison Office have to be set up separately. Now I plan to see that the trial of cases will also be done separately, and a public trial department will be established. Come to try all kinds of cases, otherwise, the people who try the cases every day are still trivial matters, and people will be bored to death."

Zhu Houzhao touched his chin and began to think again.

He is almost the same as Liu Jin, both of them are lazy people. Wherever you can be lazy, you have to be lazy. If this trial case is not an important or important case, in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, there is no need to let yourself to review.

As the magistrate, as long as he is in charge of major affairs in Shuntian Prefecture, such as urban construction planning, urban construction, economic development, etc., hearing cases is a trivial matter and should be handed over to professional officials.

"Company trial?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he also nodded slightly. This is equivalent to the court of later generations, a place dedicated to litigation.

There are many people in the capital, there are many things, and there are many lawsuits. Even during the Chinese New Year, a large number of people go to Shuntian Mansion to file lawsuits. Friction also involves property, houses and the like.

Anyway, there are a lot of various things, and each other is not convinced, and the troubles have come to the government.

"That's a good idea, but you should pay attention to the classification. If the public trial company thinks it's unfair after the trial, you'll have to go to your side for another trial, or go to a higher-level public trial company for trial."

"For example, two levels of public trial divisions can be set up, low-level public trial divisions set up in various urban areas, and intermediate-level company trial divisions set up in Shuntian Prefecture. If the two parties are not convinced by the trial of the low-level public trial division, they can go to the middle-level company trial to continue the trial."

"It's best for the trial of this company trial to be conducted openly, based on my Ming's laws, decrees, and folk village regulations."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin also saw some content of the legal system construction of later generations and told Zhu Houzhao. In comparison, the legal system of later generations is naturally more sound.

Of course, some legal systems in later generations are actually very unreasonable. The most criticized ones are the regulations related to self-defense, which greatly fueled the arrogance of local hooligans, but made honest people only be beaten and unable to fight back. This is obviously unreasonable.

Sometimes innocent and honest people don't provoke anything at all, but when they are being bullied, they fight back in self-defense and hurt others, but they end up in jail, which is obviously unreasonable.

This is also an important reason why later generations are generally not bloody, because people who dare not even fight, don't expect to be bloody, and this is also an important reason why foreigners can run rampant, because no one will deal with them.

"It's okay, it's really good."

Zhu Houzhao listened carefully, and when Liu Jin had roughly finished speaking, he nodded after pondering.

"The establishment of the Public Trial Division is very necessary. If there are any conflicts among ordinary people, a fair verdict can be obtained through the trial of the Public Trial Division. The trial can be heard by the Shuntian government office."

Liu Jin very much agrees with Zhu Houzhao's idea of ​​the Public Prosecution Division, which means judicial independence. As long as it can continue to persist and develop, judicial independence will be a matter of time.

Of course, in this ancient land, if you want to say that the judiciary is independent, it is very difficult. Even in later generations, it is difficult for the judiciary to be independent, and it will be affected by many factors.

For example, one of the most frustrating things for ordinary people is that you will never win a lawsuit against the bank. The bank is the vulnerable group. They are right no matter what, and the ordinary people will always suffer.

Obviously, the judiciary has not been fair and just, and it has been affected in many ways.

Judiciary independence, fairness and justice still have a long way to go.

"Uh, uh~"

"I think the same way. I don't want to try those trivial matters every day. I just need to focus on the important things."

After Zhu Houzhao heard it, he also nodded straightly. He was too lazy to die, and he didn't have the time and leisure to ask him to try those trivial matters every day.

Instead of directly handing it over to the subordinates at that time, it is better to formulate a comprehensive system now, directly separate this part of the affairs and powers, and set up a special office to do this.

"Your Highness is right to do this. The superior only needs to grasp the key points. There is no need to do everything by yourself. That will only make yourself more tired."

"What's more, the time of the superior is precious, and it should be spent on thinking about real big things, not wasting on small things."

Liu Jin agreed with a smile, Emperor Hongzhi just didn’t know this, so although he was diligent before, he was not very efficient. He was tired, but the country was not well governed, and he was always busy with small things. for what?

The imperial court has no money, and the border defense is empty, so the energy should be focused on how to make money, and if the money is obtained, strengthen the border defense, so that you don't have to sleep and eat badly.

You talk about benevolence, virtue, and filial piety with those civil servants every day.

"Yes, yes, you are so right."

"The time of the superior is precious, and should be spent on thinking about the real big things."

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, he felt as if he had met a confidant. After thinking for a while, he said: "I haven't studied my electromagnetic technology for a long time. I guess I can't keep up with the cutting-edge trend now. I don't know the current electromagnetic technology. How far has it grown?"

"."

Liu Jin was speechless immediately. Could this be the real big deal?
This can only be said to be something you are interested in and like, it is not really a big deal, at least for his status as a prince, it is not a big deal.

At this moment, someone hurriedly ran towards Liu Jin.

As soon as the person arrived, he hurriedly said: "Liu Gong, Liu Gong, there has been a big breakthrough here at the School of Mechanical Engineering, a big breakthrough has been made."

"Big breakthrough?"

"What breakthrough?"

When Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao heard this, they immediately regained their energy and asked quickly.

"I don't understand it very well. Anyway, there is a big breakthrough. It seems to be related to the steam engine or something. A brand-new power machine has been created. You should go and have a look."

The visitor said hurriedly and out of breath.

"A brand new power machine?"

Liu Jin was at a loss, but hurried to the School of Mechanical Engineering.
