The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 877 Want to live another 500 years

In January of the seventh year of Rende.

Dagan the Ministry of Justice in Beijing.

In a huge conference room of the Ministry of Justice, fifty or sixty young men and women are standing together in rows.

Most of them are under 20 years old, a few are over 20 years old, and they are all judicial graduates from Dagan Royal School.

Everyone was standing together, whispering and communicating with each other. Everyone was holding a thick book in their left hand. This book was the Code of Dagan.

"The emperor is here." A voice suddenly came from outside.

The room slowly quieted down.

As Ding Yi came in, everyone in the audience focused on Ding Yi, and many people had warm eyes and worshiped him very much.

"Your Majesty." Minister of Justice Huang Daozhou clasped his fists.

Ding Yi chuckled, came to the middle of the field, and stood right in the middle of everyone: "I'm sorry to keep the judges waiting, let's start, let's start."

It turns out that today is the graduation ceremony of the first batch of judges in Dagan.

The first batch of judges, a total of 57, the youngest, the oldest 28 years old.

There are 52 male judges and five female judges.

Each of them has learned the Dagan Code thoroughly and knows the entire Dagan Code like the back of their hands.

To know the complete Dagan Codex, there are three volumes, each volume has five volumes, and only one volume is hundreds of pages thick.

Each of them only has one book in their hands now, and it would take a month for ordinary people to read it, let alone memorize it all, and pass the exam.

At this time, an official from the Ministry of Justice also took a copy of the Dagan Code, and walked to the front, facing the group of judges.

Then he put the Codex on his chest, raised his right hand high, and stretched out his palm as if swearing.

Dozens of judges followed suit.

Everyone's expressions became serious.

As the Justice Department officials said something, they followed suit, and everyone began to take the oath.

"I (personal name), hereby solemnly swear to confirm that I am a judge. I will do my best to serve the people of Dagan, to the Dagan Dynasty, to His Majesty the Emperor, and to uphold justice with fairness, honesty, justice and selflessness. Dagan Code, I will respect everyone equally in work and life, no matter they are the royal family, nobles, officials, businessmen, or peasants."

"I will not join any group or organization, I will not be bound by any family and friends or officials (including the royal family), I will not be afraid of anything, I will not be hated by anyone, as long as I am in the post, I will do my best With their own knowledge and ability, they will faithfully make fair trials and rulings with their own conscience and integrity.”

"I pray that when my judgeship is over, I can proudly tell everyone that I have contributed my humble light to human life and justice."

After taking the oath, several people shed tears with excitement. I believe that many people will still remember today's scene after a few years.

"Please always remember today's oath." His Majesty Ding Yi said loudly at this time: "As a judge, the people of Dagan should be loyal first, and then the dynasty of Dagan."

"I hope that we will work hard, and there will never be justice that is delayed in the future."

"Your majesty is wise, long live my emperor." As soon as Ding Yi finished speaking, Huang Daozhou knelt down first, tears streaming down his face.

As a staunch reformist who restricts imperial power, Huang Daozhou will be deeply impressed by Ding Yi, and he will cast himself on the ground.

After taking the oath, these judges will be distributed to various provinces across the country, but Ding Yi is not planning to send them overseas for the time being, and will maintain the original set.

Now it is guaranteed that there will be judges at the provincial level, and the number will increase year by year in the future, and then they will be assigned to state capitals and counties. The whole process is estimated to take more than five years to ensure that all counties have judges.

Because the judge is too difficult to take the exam, many people can't learn it after learning a thick stack of Dagan codes.

At this moment, everyone gathered around, and many of them saw the emperor for the first time, with various curious expressions and demeanors.

The emperor's virtuous future is well known in the world, and if you look at it closely, it is no different from ordinary people.

And Ding Yi looks very kind, at least more kind than the chiefs of their Ministry of Justice.

"emperor."

"Hello, Your Majesty."

"Meet the Emperor."

Everyone shouted.

Ding Yi smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, everyone."

Ding Yi looked at these young people full of youthfulness, he really envied them, recalling that when he came out of Xu Dabao, he was also so young.

It's good to be young, and now he understands why all those who become emperors want to live another 500 years.

"Your Majesty, this is He Xiaohua, who graduated with the highest score among all the students." Huang Daozhou introduced to Ding Yi at this time.

He Xiaohua stood in the front row slimly, looking at him with eyes full of surprise.

This is me, daughter-in-law?Ding Yi was stunned.

He Xiaohua and Ding Ye got married last year, but He Xiaohua still doesn't know that her husband is the eldest son of Daqian.

The wedding of the two was held in Hunan, because Ding Ye was repairing the river in Hunan at that time.

Ding Yi did not attend the wedding, but Queen Ruan Wenyan attended as an ordinary mother.

So He Xiaohua didn't know Ding Yi at all.

"I've heard of your name." Ding Yi said calmly: "You ran around with your husband, and you didn't forget to read books. In the end, you were able to pass the exam as a judge. He Xiaohua, you tell me that there are countless officials in the world. Why do you want to be a judge?"

He Xiaohua giggled, and turned her smart eyes a few times: "Can I tell the truth?"

"A judge who doesn't tell the truth is not a qualified judge." Ding Yi said solemnly.

"The emperor has formulated the law that the king is under the law, and many people in the world don't believe it." He Xiaohua said: "My husband doesn't believe it either."

"..." Ding Yi looked embarrassed.

Zodiac Zhou also looked embarrassed.

He Xiaohua smiled and said, "But I believe it."

"I want to tell my husband that as long as I, He Xiaohua, are here, I will be able to enforce the law impartially and ensure the spirit of the law under the law."

Ding Yi laughed loudly: "Do you love your husband deeply?"

"Of course." He Xiaohua said proudly.

"If your husband committed a crime, how should he be punished?" Ding Yi asked again.

He Xiaohua was taken aback, and immediately shook her head: "Impossible, my husband will never commit a crime."

"What if?"

"If there is no if, he will definitely not." He Xiaohua said firmly.

"What if he really committed a crime?" Huang Daozhou also pressed.

He Xiaohua was silent.

"Haha, don't force her, forget it." Ding Yi laughed.

"Don't let me judge him badly." He Xiaohua said quietly.

In fact, she is also hesitating in her heart, what should I do if my husband?
A few days later, He Zuohua, as No.1 among all the judges, could be the first to choose the province where she is located.

Everyone thought she would choose the capital.

Even her family members, parents and relatives hoped that she would stay in the capital.

But He Xiaohua and Ding Ye had discussed it a long time ago and decided to go to Henan.

Because in the next few years, Ding Ye will build water conservancy projects and dredge waterways in Henan.

After completing the Henan film, Ding Ye wanted to become a magistrate in Henan and concentrate on local affairs.

He has worked hard for Dagan's waterway for several years, and the Department of Riverways has trained many new people who can take over from him.

He has not given birth to a child in the past few years, and the master has been traveling around for many years.

Ding Ye plans to live with his wife and have a baby after arriving in Henan.

After receiving the news that He Xiaohua chose to go to Henan, Ding Yi sighed helplessly. Ding Ye was obviously the eldest son of the emperor, and he always felt that he was getting farther and farther away from himself and the throne.

In April of the seventh year of Rende, Ding Yi came to the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry again.

Having not seen Li Zhongyi for several months, when he saw Li Zhongyi again, Ding Yi was suddenly taken aback, staring at him for a long time without speaking.

Seeing Ding Yi staring at him without saying a word, Li Zhongyi looked bewildered, and asked after a while, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with this humble minister?"

Ding Yi sighed a long time: "How old are you Zhongyi?"

Li Zhongyi smiled and said: "The minister is almost 50 years old, old."

"Fortunately, there are not many gray hairs, not too many." Ding Yi saw that Li Zhongyi had gray hair, and then realized that time flies, and he is already over 40 years old.

Really want to live another 500 years, Ding Yi understands the ultimate dream of those emperors throughout the ages.

Because he still has a lot, a lot of big things to do.

He sighed again, and patted Li Zhongyi lightly.

In the second year of Rende, Ding Yi saw a steam engine with increased power in the Science and Technology Department, and also drew trains and tracks for them.

Now five years have passed, and the Technology Division has finally achieved something.

Many people came to the scene today, and the cabinet members were all called by Ding Yi.

Because he had noticed that Li Zhongyi had gray hair just now, Ding Yi looked around at the cabinet members, and suddenly found that several of them were old.

Song Yingxing was born in 1587. He is 65 years old this year and will retire next year.

Several important ministers of the former Ming Dynasty, Wang Duo, Zhang Xin, and Ma Shiying were born around 1590, and all were over [-] years old.

So Zhang Jinyan is a little younger. (He was born in 1600)
Father-in-law Nguyen Van Long is also over 60 years old.

In a few years, these people will slowly withdraw from the cabinet.

Time flies.

"emperor."

"emperor."

All the ministers clasped their fists at Ding Yi, and Ding Yi nodded with a smile, greeting each of them.

Everyone first gathered in the Science and Technology Department, then boarded a few carriages, and went to the North City factory area of ​​the Science and Technology Department together.

This carriage is built exactly in the way of the 19th century in Europe, with three horses in the front and a long carriage at the back.

The 19th-century European horse-drawn carriage could seat 16 people at the same time, and was used as a bus and long-distance vehicle in later generations.

Now Daqian has just been promoted in the capital city and several nearby provinces and provincial capitals, mainly requiring relatively high roads.

Dagan's carriage can seat 20 people, because Ding Yi's carriage is like a rubber tire, which can be added to be lighter.

Ding Yi and the cabinet were divided into two cars, and Wang Duo, Ma Shiying and other veteran officials crowded into Ding Yi's car.

Because Seinfeld, Minister of Transportation and Construction, is here.

"Song Shangshu, I heard that this carriage will be promoted across the country? It will cost a lot of money, right?" Ma Shiying asked.

"It's not so fast." Song Fei said: "It depends on the roads. Those who have the ability to build roads in various places can be promoted. It may take several years to spread to the whole country."

Song Fei said again: "Road construction is a must. In addition to education, the money invested in road construction will have to increase every year."

Finance Minister Nguyen Van Long's mouth twitched: "Last year, nearly 1000 million was invested."

Everyone is speechless, Dagan has a strong ability to make money, and even stronger ability to spend money.
