The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 822

It is Dengzhou's experience that Ding Yi gives [-]% commission to the officials who handle affairs.Because he knows that it is difficult for ordinary people to protect their rights, many officials are unwilling to help the people seriously, and the people have nowhere to complain. Ding Yi can feel deeply now that he is the emperor.

Nowadays, the big cadres get a commission for their work, no matter how low the wages are, everyone has to work hard.

According to the fine of a hundred times, the stall owner will be fined dozens of taels of silver for this big fat chicken, and the two officials can get several taels.

The stall owner finally said simply, I have no money, or you arrest me and go to jail.

Officer Sun smiled: "According to the general law, if you have no money, you can rob the land and sell it. If it is not enough, then rob your house, mortgage your house, and sell it. If it is not enough, you can't go to jail. You will Go to mine, all the wages are used to pay off debts."

Another official sneered: "You can also choose to commit suicide, and the debt will be cleared after death, and you don't have to pay it back."

"This, this—" The stall owner wanted to cry, but regretted it too late.

In fact, the "Great Work Code" is still being formulated, and there is no official edict to start using it.

The officials are now using the same method used in Dengzhou, which is simple and crude but effective.

On January [-], another citizen reported that Chen Zhi, the son of Chen Feng from a hundred families in Jinyiwei, committed a crime in the street.

This is in the Ming Dynasty, who dares to report Jin Yiwei?Don't say that it is useless to report, but it will cause even greater disasters.

However, the great efforts are made, the emperor is wise, and the "World Affairs" newspaper helps Ding Yi to brag every day. How could such a thing happen at the feet of the emperor and ignore it?
Chen Feng was the former Ming Jinyi Guard. When Li Zicheng went to Beijing, he ran to hide at home, threw away all the official uniforms and official seals at home, and pretended to be ordinary people.

After Ding Yi entered Beijing, Lu Chao was in charge of reorganizing Jinyiwei, and was summoned by Luo Yangxing to use it first.

His ability is not bad, at least with Ding Yi's salary, he can still do his best.

It's a pity that his son is not angry. He used to be a Qingpi in the capital, with a lot of accomplices, not doing business, specializing in stealing and kidnapping. Damn it, there are many people from Lushun in the capital.

Yang Zhi saw a pretty girl on the street yesterday, and stepped forward to flirt with her again, but a woman from Lushun passed by and reprimanded him face to face.

This Yang Zhi drank some wine that day, pretended to be crazy with the help of wine, rushed up and beat him.

The woman in Lushun had three companions, and they were not afraid of him, so they rose up to resist.

Unexpectedly, there were several accomplices behind Yang Zhi, they rushed forward, seven or eight men beat three women, and beat them all bruised and bruised.

If it hadn't been for someone yelling from the side: "The City Affairs Bureau is here."

That's what scares them away.

The girl who was molested afterwards met someone from the City Affairs Bureau and told Yang Zhi decisively, because this person had a bad reputation in the capital and many people knew him.

Two years ago when Chuang Jun and Ding Yi's troops entered the capital, the capital was a bit chaotic, but Chen Zhi was quite honest and didn't dare to come out to make trouble.

Now that the world is just at peace, he came out to show off again.

The City Affairs Bureau immediately found Chen Feng's house.

Chen Feng said that his son was not at home and hadn't returned for many days.

Officials said that the imperial court is now making ID cards. If Chen Zhi and his accomplices do not show up at the City Affairs Bureau tomorrow, they will be made wanted criminals, and they can be shot to death if they see them anywhere.

Chen Feng had no choice but to let his son and a few accomplices go to the City Affairs Bureau, admit their mistakes and bow their heads.

At the same time, they sent people to the home of the beaten woman with money, hoping to ask her to forgive.

But there are officials from the City Affairs Bureau in the woman's home.

Your son broke the law, even if the beaten woman forgives him, it's useless, the court will punish him.

What's more, the woman who was beaten would never forgive him.

The City Affairs Bureau acted very quickly, and first asked a few people to confess their crimes that day and explain how they beat them.

Some people wanted to plead not guilty, but many people at the scene watched and stood up to testify.

Because the City Affairs Bureau said, whoever comes out to testify, 50 taels of silver each.

Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be a brave man.

There were testimonies and confessions among the perpetrators themselves, and the last eight who beat people were all convicted of crimes.

On the third day, the family members of the eight people were called to the City Affairs Bureau and asked to bring money and a carriage.

The family members were all baffled, but they still took the money, thinking that the government's cashier could release people.

When they arrived at the scene, the officials of the City Affairs Bureau said: "Among the women who were beaten, the one with the most severe injuries had sixteen fractures, her right hand and right leg were broken, and her skull was also shattered."

"According to the law of Dagan, the first offender beheaded for public display, and the remaining offenders will be doubled."

Chen Feng almost fainted. He didn't expect to be dealt with so severely. The next day he was also notified of his dismissal, and he became an ordinary citizen directly from Jin Yiwei.

All the granted land and house at home were confiscated.

On the fourth day, the Ministry of Justice approved it, and then the Urban Affairs Bureau summoned thousands of people in the capital to watch the first Meridian Gate beheading in the first year of Daqian.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice beheaded Chen Zhi first, then brought the other seven murderers to the scene, beat them with sticks in public, and then had a doctor judge.

The first wave of fighting lasted for a while. The doctor judged that there were ten fractures, the right hand was broken, but the left hand was not broken.

The second wave and the third wave will be played again.

In the end, all the left and right hands and left and right legs of the seven people were broken, and the number of fractures was more than 32.

Two of them were beaten to death alive, and three more died of their injuries after death.

The family members were crying, but do you think it's over?
The City Affairs Bureau also said: "For your case, the imperial court mobilized more than 100 manpower and more than a dozen horses. They traveled around the city for many days, and invited doctors, executioners, etc., including organizing on-site beheadings and beating people today. It requires money, and witness fees."

"The imperial court contributed a total of 460 taels of silver, which needs to be shared equally among the eight of you."

"Another 100 taels of compensation will be given to each of the three injured families."

"You can hand it in now, or you can send it to the City Affairs Bureau before noon tomorrow. In short, you can't miss a single penny."

Some family members yelled wildly, is there any law for the king, the Ming Dynasty will not be like this, and we are required to pay for killing our men?
"This is the king's law that we have done so much, you don't have to give it." The official of the City Affairs Bureau sneered: "You try?"

"See you at noon tomorrow."

After all, everyone started to leave, and no one paid any attention to the family members. In the end, the family members still paid the money honestly. Those who didn’t make up the money were directly ransacked their homes and fields, drove them out of Dagan, and sent them to Jeju.

In late January, a businessman heard about several recent cases in Beijing, and after thinking about it for a few days, he went to the Shuntian Prefecture Urban Affairs Bureau for help.

The businessman is a cloth merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and his business has been to transport the cloth from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, where the cloth merchants in the capital will sell it.

When Chongzhen entered Beijing in 16, he gave [-] pieces of fabric to a cloth merchant in the capital at that time. The other party gave a receipt, but he never gave the money.

Then entered the 17th year of Chongzhen, the world was in chaos, and the capital was also broken.

After finally waiting for Ding Yi to pacify the capital, the businessman came to Beijing again to ask for money, but the other party said that his home had been raided by the Chuangjun and he had no money.

It has been two or three years now, and the other party has been owed and refused to pay.

But the businessman said that the other party was in the capital and was still running a cloth shop, and the business was good.

The businessman was also taken aback when he entered the City Affairs Bureau that day, because as soon as he entered, many officials surrounded him and asked him what he wanted to do. They were very enthusiastic.

Some people even made tea by themselves, and asked him to sit down and talk about it in detail.

The businessman was a little uncomfortable when he had seen the officials of Ming Dynasty being so enthusiastic before.

After he finished the story, the official on the opposite side smiled and asked, "How much was a hundred pieces of fabric worth at that time? Do you have a certificate?"

"They all have certificates, and there are fifty bolts of silk, three taels each."

"Fifty pieces of yellow gauze, eight coins each."

"Fifty bolts of cotton silk, eight dollars each."

"Fifty bolts of coarse white cotton cloth cost four dollars each."

"Twenty bolts of black and green satin, eight taels each—"

The final voucher shows that the total price is 460 taels of silver.

"Okay." The officials jumped up and shouted excitedly.

The businessmen who engage in it are inexplicable.

The next day, the two officials brought the merchant to the door to ask for money.

The shopkeeper was very arrogant: "My master is Mr. Fei, a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment (a senior official of the fifth rank)."

"We are here today. We will pay the money within three days and convert it to Boss Huang at the interest rate." The official was not in a hurry, and explained to him that the money would be paid within three days, then wrote a leaflet and handed it to the shopkeeper, forcing the shopkeeper Signed.

The shopkeeper refused, and the official threw it into the shop, turned around and left.

Three days later, the official came back with the businessman Boss Huang. The other party took 100 taels of silver and said that he would pay 100 taels first and wanted to send them away.

The official was not polite, and immediately announced that according to the new Dagan law: "We have notified you, if you do not return after the time limit, you will be fined ten times."

"We'll come back to collect the money in three days."

After speaking, without looking back, he turned and left.

That night, the doctor found Ma Shiying, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and asked Ma Shiying to talk to Zhao Dashan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Urban Affairs, and said good things, and wanted to send money to Zhao Dashan.

Ma Shiying was shocked, who would dare to collect money now?It's useless, you should return the money quickly.

The doctor cried, "Ten times more?"Robbing money?

Ma Shiying thought for a while: "If you don't give it after three days, it may be twenty times, fifty times."

"It's not like killing me." The doctor cried.

He was lucky, and at this time, the new emperor still wants to use elite officials like them. Besides, the new Dagan code has not been officially released, so why?

He prepared 1000 taels and planned to settle the matter in three days.

Unexpectedly, when the officials and merchants arrived three days later, the merchants agreed, but the officials of the City Affairs Bureau disagreed.

The merchant originally only had 400 taels of silver, but now the other party is willing to pay double, so of course he is willing to let it go.

But the officials are serious, and I am going to rule the country by law, is it a child's play, you say forget it?

Now it is twenty times the fine.

The shopkeeper naturally said that he had no money, and he had to wait for the doctor to come back.

The officials didn't care, and quickly mobilized [-] colleagues to search the house.

First copy the money of the shop, and then copy the money of the doctor's house.

Fortunately, the doctor's family still has some money.

A total of more than 2 taels were copied. According to the regulations, the officials first collected 200 fines, which was [-] taels.

Then the labor expenses of the 400 officials of the City Affairs Bureau, each of which was [-] taels, took a total of [-] taels of silver from the doctor's family.

Among them, 400% of the 100 taels is a commission for affairs, but the officials who handle affairs can only get [-] taels at most.

There are another 680 taels, most of which will be handed over to the imperial court.

And the businessman couldn't believe it when he received more than 7000 taels of compensation.

The businessman was ecstatic, startled and frightened, and hurriedly took out 1000 taels for the brothers to drink tea.

Everyone refused because they couldn't accept it.

Afterwards, the doctor was dismissed from his post and kicked out of the official ranks because he failed to return it within the time limit and was not morally good.

After entering the first year of Rende, Dagan's "World Affairs" will record one or two cases that happened in the capital in each issue, which is used to remind officials and people in the world that Dagan's laws are different from those of Ming Dynasty. If you don't do business well and use all kinds of dirty means, you will only be punished heavily.

Those who owe money should pay back the money honestly, otherwise the end will be miserable.

As for the green-skinned hooligans, think carefully about the consequences before hitting someone.
