Xuande

Chapter 678
The county soldiers are not simple soldiers, but local law enforcement officers, so they can't be a group of illiterates who don't know a lot of characters, nor can they be literate players.

They must have a certain amount of cultural knowledge, especially legal knowledge.

But at this moment, Dahan does not have a school and an education model for cultivating relevant legal personnel. The inheritance of laws is the same as the inheritance of Confucianism, and it also follows the family path.

Several well-known legal gentry families passed down for several generations, and then went to the central government to serve as Ting Wei, Sili Xiaowei, etc., and then promoted their own disciples and old officials to engage in legal work.

The main focus is a private training, not public.

For example, the famous Yingchuan Guo family.

"The county soldiers not only need to deal with bandits and powerful people, but also deal with civilian criminal cases. There are murders, robberies, etc., which also need to be judged by the county soldiers. As I said, it needs the county soldiers to master certain legal knowledge.

Since Emperor Wudi, the Great Han has talked about the Spring and Autumn Judgment, but it is similar to what you said. I don’t quite agree with this. The law is the law. It is inappropriate to use the stories of the ancients to influence the law. , I disagree.

So, I decided to set up a law school to train the soldiers of the county, so that every soldier of the county can be familiar with the relevant provisions of the Han law. By the way, Bo Ning, didn’t I give you the Han law for you to study? ?These days, you have compiled a charter and used it as a teaching material for training county soldiers. "

"This... Your Majesty, is this really the case?"

Man Chong looked at Liu Bei excitedly: "In this way, will it cause some people's dissatisfaction? Especially the inheritance family of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period, you... aren't you the master of the Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period? You ... have no opinion on this?"

"Of course I am the master of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals, but I don't agree with the Spring and Autumn Announcement."

Liu Bei shook his head and said slowly: "The law is the law, the spring and autumn are the spring and autumn, the times are changing, blindly follow the behavior of the ancients to handle affairs, use the cases of the ancients to judge the current case, and don't care about the social background at that time, It's a big fallacy.

In ancient times, there was not even a great defense of human relations, and things that people today can't bear often happened between parents, brothers and sisters, so can we use the practices of ancient times to judge today's things?Everything is changing, and Spring and Autumn must also change. "

"Are you going to change the law?"

Man Chong was surprised and said: "Junhou, I still had doubts in the past, but now I really recognize that you really want to do something big! It is a privilege to know you and do things for you. Greatest honor!"

"Ah, this..."

Liu Bei didn't quite understand why Man Chong said he wanted to reform...

But in the final analysis, he really wants to change the law, but he is not planning to change the law, but has been changing the law all the time.

Everything he did, including economic warfare, and the Jiade Palace meeting, are essentially things that need to be done for the reform, and can be summarized in the reform. The supreme governance thought of the Han Empire is undergoing subtle changes under his influence. Variety.

This change is completely different from before.

Much of what is to be done now is a result of the accumulation of variables from what he has done before, and the changes he has made have had some impact on the empire, and these impacts have continued to accumulate over time.

But now, it is time for this accumulation to push the reform to the next stage.

Changes do not appear in a short while, but a process in which quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

Obviously, the Great Han Empire has shown signs of qualitative change today.

So at the next state meeting of the four assistant ministers, Liu Bei once again put forward a new proposal - to set up a law school in Luoyang to prepare for the training of soldiers in the county. The person in charge of the school is Zhongshu Lingman Chong , Man Chong is fully responsible for the establishment of the law school and the county soldiers.

Liu Bei trusted Man Chong, appreciated Man Chong's ability, and wanted to entrust this matter to Man Chong. Regarding this matter, there were some small disputes at the state affairs meeting of the four ministers.

Huang Wan still played the role of the standard opposition. At the state affairs meeting, he believed that Liu Bei's repeated tossings had brought too much uncertainty to the Han Empire. Isn't it a bit too much to set up a law school now? Whimsical?
The great man takes Confucianism as his national studies, but now you want to set up a law school to teach the law, this...

Have you considered the opinions of law inheritance families like the Guo family?

Liu Bei looked at Guo Hong, the lieutenant of Sili who closed his eyes and meditated silently.

"Lieutenant Guo will definitely support this proposal, won't he?"

Guo Hong opened his eyes, looked at Liu Bei, and nodded slowly.

"What you said is, I think, your suggestion is correct. If the county soldiers want to stabilize the place, then it is necessary to have some legal knowledge. Open a law school and let a group of people who are familiar with the law appear in the local area. For the big man, there are all benefits but no harm, and the Guo family is willing to send people with profound knowledge from the clan to teach in the government and make some contributions to the big man."

Huang Wan was speechless for a moment.

He didn't know what Liu Bei did to the Guo family in this matter, so that Guo's efforts and talents were so supportive of Liu Bei, but he knew that apart from the influence of the Confucian school, it was the Guo family's influence on the Han Empire. laws have the greatest influence.

When it comes to Confucianism, it must be the Fanyue family who speak the loudest. When it comes to the law, at this stage, the Guo family is definitely the loudest.

The Guo family biography "Xiao Du Lv" is quite proficient in the laws of the Han Empire. Many members of the family are in charge of the judicial and administrative work of the Han Empire, and they have some influence at the central and local levels.

The Confucian gentry has four generations and three lords, and the Guo family, a legal gentry, also served as a court officer for three consecutive generations. If we compare it with the example of the Confucian gentry, then the Guo family is equivalent to the "three generations and three lords" among the second-rate gentry.

The status is equally high.

And now Guo Hong and Liu Bei have such a good relationship, cooperate so closely, and look like dogs, it is obvious that the Guo family will take advantage of the breeze that Liu Bei has blown up for them...

In fact, in the final analysis, Liu Bei did not make any direct promises to the Guo family. He just summoned Guo Jiapi, a member of the Guo family, as a general, and asked Guo Jia to come to Luoyang to work for him and become his close minister.

Needless to say, in recent days, the officials in the General's Mansion are not very peaceful. The reason is that an unexpected visitor came to the General's Mansion, met Liu Bei, and hit it off right away.

These days, Liu Bei summoned Guo Jia four times in a row, and each time he talked with him from afternoon to sunset, then had dinner together, and then talked at night by candlelight, talking about everything.

Liu Bei liked Guo Jia very much, and he had a great time talking with him, even to the point of wanting to keep him overnight.

They summoned him four times, and stayed Guo Jia twice for the night. They shared the bed with Guo Jia in his study and fell asleep on their feet. Even when they were sleeping, they talked non-stop until they fell asleep.

After four summonses, Liu Bei appointed Guo Jia as the general, and as a close minister, he had to bring Guo Jia by his side every time he did business, and his intimacy was far higher than that of other ministers.

They even sent someone to personally find a suitable small courtyard for Guo Jia in Luoyang City, solved the housing problem for him, and gave him a horse-drawn carriage to solve the transportation problem for him.

Liu Bei's behavior like this made many people look sideways and feel a little sour in their hearts.

They didn't receive such special treatment from Liu Bei at the beginning. What is it about this young man named Guo Jia that Liu Bei cares about so much, and even keeps him for dinner and overnight?
