Chapter 1125
Since the beginning of Jiangdong's anti-case review, it has been vigorous and vigorous, and a large number of lawsuits have poured into the state, county, and county government offices at all levels.In a very short period of time, government offices at all levels below the Yangzhou prefecture have accumulated a large number of cases.

"It's been more than five days since the beginning of the day, and there are more than [-] files accumulated, and the number of people involved is more than [-]..."

In the governor's mansion of Zhoucheng, Biejia Meitao reported with a book and file in his hand. While reporting, he glanced at the young man sitting in the hall, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

"There's Lord Laume."

While listening, Shen Zhezi signaled the officials to arrange a seat for Mei Tao.Although he is in power now, he is not rude to an old senior like Mei Tao.

Mei Tao is now over [-] years old, and Yongjia has been an official before. Compared with Shen Zhezi, that is definitely old qualifications. When Shen Zhezi was due to become an official, Mei Tao had already served as the director of Wang Dao. history.If it is not a matter of poor family background and personal style, his qualifications are enough to serve as a Taiwan assistant.

Shen Zhezi came to Yangzhou from the beginning, so he didn't make too many adjustments to the original structure of the state capital. He and Mei Tao are old acquaintances, and there is still no lack of recognition for his ability.

After Mei Tao explained the current situation of the lawsuit, seeing that Shen Zhezi didn't express anything special, he hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help reminding: "At present, the number of lawsuits in various counties is still surging. In this state, by the time the case is completed on the first day of May, there is a high possibility that more than [-] case files will be collected... There are so many cases, it is really not possible to settle them all in a short period of time."

The implication of these words is already very obvious, it is to remind Shen Zhezi that the current state is abnormal, and it is obvious that someone is behind the scenes, fueling the flames, and deliberately exaggerating the scale of the lawsuit.

After all, there is a shortage of manpower, so many cases cannot be handled in a short period of time by state and county government offices, especially according to the previous work efficiency, it will take two or three years to completely handle these cases under the current situation alone.

Mei Tao also looked through some of the files sent to the state government by counties and counties, and found that a large number of them were just filling in, repeated many times, and some of them had nothing to do with the case at all. Tell yourself that you are the owner of the cow.There are countless similar cases.

Moreover, with the large number of people entering the lawsuit, there is already a severe shortage of officials at all levels in counties and counties. Many county offices have even been surrounded by villagers, all of whom are queuing up to enter the lawsuit.

If the situation is allowed to continue like this, then the so-called purge this time is likely to end in an anticlimactic mess, and it will also be a great trauma to the world.

Mei Tao has experienced many years, and he has a good understanding of the human heart. Even if he does not take a position, he still feels that the current state has great hidden dangers.

It is obvious that Shiliu intends to use this to force Duke Liang to make concessions, but he ignores the iron-blooded and strong side of this young power minister. After the road is obviously dead, the biggest possibility is naturally to break the situation with violence and play Jiangdong again.

If there is a little malicious speculation, the so-called lawsuit this time is likely to be a tactic to delay the army. It is to buy time for the Jiangbei army to assemble. After everything is ready, there will be a bloody cleansing.

Hearing what Mei Tao said, Shen Zhezi could probably guess what he was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Since it is declared that the affairs of internal and external scholars are only judged by the public, and grievances are brought into litigation, how can we not do so. But there is no need to go too far Reluctantly, manpower can be achieved immediately, this is a long-term strategy for governing the country, and it is definitely not a temporary interest."

How could Shen Zhezi not be clear about the secrets that Mei Tao could detect.The theory of law-only theory is actually a very weird argument nowadays. Many people still only regard it as a contingency method of Shen Zhezi, but it is actually a lack of correct understanding.

From the standpoint of the other party, this kind of response is not incorrect, but from Shen Zhezi's perspective, this kind of fueling is also a kind of help that can be used by him.

Putting aside the heavy litigation costs and pressure later on, there are several benefits that can be seen right now.

The first point is that although people at the time did not approve of Shen Zhezi's policy of governing the country, they did not use force to fight back, but used this kind of incitement to fight back.It shows that they have reached a consensus, that is, their recognition of Shen Zhezi's current power makes them dare not confront directly.

Being strong is a feeling rather than a fact. You are truly powerful when everyone recognizes your strength. This kind of psychological oppression is sometimes more effective than real killing with weapons.

The essence of the army is to go abroad to obtain more abundant resources. Only the continuous influx of new resources can offset the huge cost of maintaining the army.

As for using the army to suppress civil strife, it is simply not the right medicine.The essence of civil strife is that the distribution method of resource stock has collapsed. Even if it is quelled by the army, it will not bring new resource increments from the perspective of the entire country.The most effective way to suppress civil strife is to use the army as a forceful deterrent, and to solve internal practical problems through administrative means.

The current state seems to be in an uproar, but it is exactly the state that Shen Zhezi hopes to promote. The master in his hand is to deter the inside and punish the outside, so it is still a good state in his opinion.

It seems simple to use military power to govern, but regardless of the real effect of mobilizing the Jiangbei army to the south, the cost of money and food alone is enough for him to organize another conquest to Hebei.At the level of state governance, force is the ultimate means of logical deduction, not the first choice.

As for the second point, the current turbulent litigation is itself a kind of law popularization in the countryside.In the past, it was very difficult for such large-scale litigation to occur, because it was already blocked at the level of rural volunteers, and even if the people had any grievances, it was difficult for them to be heard.Rural civil arbitration is itself one of the privileges enjoyed by the local tyrants.

If the popularization of this kind of legal thinking is presided over by a person in power like Shen Zhezi, it will be difficult to achieve results.On the one hand, the resistance comes from the wisdom and customs of the people, and on the other hand, it naturally comes from the privileged township clans.

The so-called imperial power does not go to the countryside. One of the manifestations of imperial power in the countryside is the right to arbitrate, and this right has long been held by the local township leaders.

Shen Zhezi is just putting on a gesture right now, and has not really started. Those Shiliu village sects used this self-harm method to resist what they thought was very smart, and encouraged the villagers to file a lawsuit. The arbitration power held by them is handed over.

The logic of these people's behavior is based on Shen Zhezi's inability to cope, but this in itself is one of Shen Zhezi's goals.If he can't even cope with the current situation, there is no need to mention the so-called reforms implemented from top to bottom.

Of course, it is difficult to completely dismantle Xiangwangxiangyuan's control over the voices of the people by relying on this kind of legal system construction that has arisen for a while, but it is a very good start.

This time, the process of adversarial judgment is from the first day of April to the first day of May. During this half month, the litigation files are collected.The entire first half of May is to file and sort out the case files, and from the second half of May to officially hear the reverse case and its derivative lawsuits.

Killing Zhuge Hui and the remnants of Qingxu Qiaomen around him has never been Shen Zhezi's main goal.Since he came back to the capital from the south, the fate of Zhuge Hui and his party members is already doomed.

Shen Zhezi's real intention is to use this incident to thoroughly sort out and establish the entire judicial system of the Jiangdong court.Under the premise of this goal, the so-called people involved in the reverse case are just additional gains of beating rabbits and carrying hands.

There are actually very few systems that can be created out of thin air that are applicable to the times, and more of them are born out of it.

For example, Shen Zhezi's current focus is not that Mei Tao is worried about too many lawsuits and cannot handle them.What he is more concerned about is the serious shortage of local officials. The so-called county offices are surrounded by villagers and lined up to enter the lawsuit. The channels for entering the lawsuit are too narrow and not smooth.

If Mei Tao knew what Shen Zhezi was thinking about at the moment, he would definitely think that he was so excited that he was almost insane because of the sudden seizure of power.Because the current scale of litigation alone is already a difficult problem in Mei Tao's view.

After learning about the current litigation situation, Shen Zhezi recruited Danyang Yin Lichong, Jiankangling, Molingling and other surrounding counties and counties to listen to the reports of these front-line administrative officials.

After these people arrived in Zhoucheng, most of them first complained, and they were also worried like Mei Tao, thinking that such a large-scale admission case could not be handled at all.If such momentum is not lost, it is likely to trigger a new round of civil uprisings.

"Before you have settled down, you should worry about the difficulties first. All the kings are in their respective positions. Is this the attitude to respond to the king's order?"

In the face of these officials who only complained and complained, Shen Zhezi was not as polite as he was to Mei Tao. After listening for a while, his face sank, and he tapped his knuckles on the desk: "The current procedure is in place, and we are still accepting the lawsuit. I summoned you gentlemen today to listen to your explanations of any difficulties, as for the settlement of the lawsuit in the future, it is not an issue at this moment."

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded for a moment. Judging from the meaning of the words, it seemed that they were still a little dissatisfied with the progress of the current lawsuit. In other words, this Mr. Liang was already crazy.

After all, these Kinki officials are still not used to Huainan's simple and clear style of asking questions and coming up with solutions.So after a little silence, Li Chong spoke first.The problem we are facing now is actually very simple, that is, there is a serious shortage of available officials, and the quality is uneven, and many of them can't even read, which greatly slows down the efficiency of case collection.

Seeing Li Chong's report, the others followed suit. After all, this is also the main dilemma they are facing now.

"This matter is a matter of sincere concern. The king's life and grace cannot be disappointed, but we can't ignore the facts and force the officials to be driven like cattle and horses. Please express your feelings, and I will return to Taiwan later, please send more."

After the matter was finalized, Shen Zhezi asked for a stack of neatly cut papers to be distributed to the people present: "The essence of the law lies in the clearness and orderliness of the ropes. I have also reviewed the files submitted by various departments before. Words and rules can’t be unified. Such a chaotic record, how can it be used as a judicial strategy. After that, all lawsuits will be filed according to this format.”

Everyone took the paper and found that it was not blank, but criss-crossed lines, each of which listed the name, place of origin, and type of lawsuit of the litigant, as well as various information of the applicant, including the content of the lawsuit, etc. They are all printed in the column and left blank to fill in.

This form is clear and clear, even if Mr. Liang doesn't explain it, everyone will quickly understand how to use it.Some people subconsciously flattered them, saying that if they could use this type of form to sort out the lawsuit earlier, it would be more efficient.

Shen Zhezi just smiled slightly after hearing the words. The biggest significance of this form is not in the clear record of the case, but in the place of origin.This is another form of naturalization of villagers. On the surface, it is a judicial file, but in fact it is another form of sorting out the nationality.

The reason why they didn't bring it up before is that the people who entered the lawsuit were mainly those households of the Shiliu Xiangzong. If they needed to fill in their hometowns, they would subconsciously shrink back, which was not conducive to the excitement of the atmosphere.Now that the atmosphere has been created, it spreads to the countryside, and it is difficult to cool down easily. Only then did Shen Zhezi fully reveal his intentions.

In other words, Shen Zhezi never thought about dealing with the more than 3000 case files that Yangzhou officials were worried about and were difficult to handle.You don't need to think about it to know that there must be a large number of cases of deliberately confusing right and wrong and purely making trouble.Only the cases accepted from this moment can really enter the follow-up judicial procedures.

　Sorry, I was a little stuck last night, so I will write more today to make up. . .
