Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next day, the court meeting continued.  The first issue is the public discussion of the "Laws of Maritime Territory".  "Hundreds of printed and copied texts of "Laws of the Sea" were distributed to all ministers attending the meeting, as well as two thousand stones of the prefecture, princes, kings, and relatives of the princes and honorable ministers.  The thin booklet even smells of ink.  But the words above made countless people tremble with fear.  "If we follow the provisions of this maritime law" Many people shook their heads secretly after reading the relevant provisions, and some did not want to see this law passed.  The gentlemen frowned and remained silent.  The nobles gnashed their teeth, bowed their heads and sighed.  In the eyes of most people, this Haijiang Law is simply a cult!  All its provisions emphasize one thing: the shipbuilding yamen has the power to enforce laws at sea.  Including but not limited to anti-smuggling, inspection, hunting down bandits, and crackdown on lawlessness. At the same time, Lou Chuan will also be authorized to punish all barbarians who may affect and endanger the majesty of the Han Emperor and the sanctity of the Han Empire.  This is simply Many scholar-bureaucrats related to maritime merchants clenched their fists.  Over the years, the Louchuan Yamen and the Lord Duwei Yamen have worked together in collusion to engage in anti-smuggling and tax collection at sea and in ports.  They even want to register every ship at sea or in port, and require the owners of these ships to declare on time the status of the ships under their names and the cargo they carry.  Last year alone, Lou Chuan Yamen and Zhujue Duwei Yamen detained hundreds of ships, large and small, and confiscated tens of millions of dollars in supplies.  Every kind and honest businessman had his family ruined by these profit-hungry and shameless people.  It really makes those who hear it cry and those who see it sad.  Now, Lou Chuan Yamen has gone one step further and wants to legislate its own authority and use the legal situation to confirm its own advantages?  How is this possible?  It¡¯s just The gentlemen looked at the dozens of princes sitting cross-legged in the main hall, calm and expressionless, and they subconsciously shrank their necks.  In today¡¯s Han family system, the influence of the military is very important, and it can even be said that it is enough to affect the balance of power between the government and the opposition.  Especially those emerging military aristocrats, they are the rulers of the Han Dynasty today.  With Yulinwei, Hubenwei, Xiliuying and other field army generals as the main body, with hundreds of thousands of elite men as the backbone, with more than 100,000 pavilion chiefs, lizheng, youyou, county captains and county captains at the grassroots level of the county.  The county captain is flesh and blood.  This huge interest group spans both the military and political administrations. It is no exaggeration to say that in the current empire, nothing can bypass them.  And they themselves are the projection of the will of today¡¯s emperor.  "The fact that they didn't speak actually represented the emperor's attitude. The emperor supported the legislation of sea and territorial waters" Thinking about the preface and articles of the "Laws of Maritime Territories", the scholar-officials had to take a breath of cold air.  "Perhaps, the "Laws of the Sea" itself is the handwriting of today's instructions" Many people sighed secretly.  If the speculation is true, then there is no doubt that no one can stop this!  Even if the entire civil servants and gentry group stood up to oppose it, it would be useless!  Because the military generals and aristocratic group already have an advantage in this Xuanshi Palace!  Most of the courtiers and local officials with more than 2,000 shi in the palace have military backgrounds and are even military generals themselves!  What really makes these people dare not act rashly is the importance they attach to their own shame.  Everyone knows that Emperor Liu has always been a little chicken-hearted and extremely vindictive.  The Liu family has held grudges over the incident involving Duke Ding for decades since Emperor Gao to the present day. Even Ding Gong's relatives were implicated and banned from official service for decades. Until now, due to Ji An's death, Zheng  Only then could he become an official.  Even so, this gentleman, who has always enjoyed a good reputation and was praised by scholars, has never been reused. He has been lingering in Lantai for several years, and he has not even had the opportunity to be released.  "If you step forward rashly and get convicted today, your family will be included in that small book and will not be used for decades." ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  While the scholar-officials were hesitating, the time for the third reading of Haijiang Law passed bit by bit.  It wasn't until Yan Yi made his last call that he asked all the ministers in the palace: "Do you have any objections to the law of the sea, forty-eight articles, and one hundred and seventy-three paragraphs?" If no one objects to this inquiry, it means that this law  It has been recognized by the people of the world, and no one in the world has any objection to it.    In this way, this law will have sufficient effectiveness and sufficient authority.  Even if someone opposes it in the future and enough ministers are contacted, it will still be ineffective. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by the emperor, and then through the public deliberations of the world, can he be deposed.  Otherwise, this law cannot be changed!  This is why Liu Che wants to hold a major court meeting. He can use this occasion to formulate laws and policies in the name of the people of the world.  The laws and policies passed at the great court meeting naturally possess legitimacy and sanctity.  The entire ruling class and all parties from the government and the opposition will recognize and acknowledge it, and take the initiative to promote it.  This can effectively unite the government and the opposition and centralize power without the risk of anyone causing trouble.  Take the "Haijiang Law" as an example. Without the endorsement of the ministers, he would issue orders and legislate arbitrarily.  ¡°Then local interest groups and aristocratic officials are likely to do everything possible to cause trouble in private and hold back.  Even in the future, they are likely to counterattack and destroy all Liu Che's efforts and hard work.  However, after the public deliberation of the imperial court, local interest groups and aristocratic officials want to cause trouble?  Once discovered, it will be a blatant provocation to the entire ruling class and an enemy of the ¡®people of the world¡¯.  You don¡¯t need to think about the fate of such a scumbag to know. ?????????????????????????? With the endorsement of the Dachaoyi, Lou Chuanyamen can pass the maritime law and establish a huge interest group centered on the ocean in the next few decades.  Even if Liu Che enters Maoling in the future, even if his descendants are unworthy and deceived by others, they want to depose the Han Dynasty's maritime power and eliminate the Han Dynasty's awareness of maritime power?  We must first eliminate the huge interest group that is dependent on maritime interests and foreign development.  Lou Chuan Yamen will not be like Zheng He, just fighting alone.  While thinking about it, the time for the third reading has passed.  Yan Yi turned back to Liu Che and respectfully said: "I would like to report to your Majesty: After the public discussion of all ministers, all the ministers have no objections to the 48 articles and 173 paragraphs of the "Haijiang Law". I hereby request your Majesty's Holy Judgment!" Liu Che  Hearing this, he came back to his senses, nodded and said: "In that case, I'm going to ask the censor to make a law with the censor. Choose an auspicious day and a good time to dedicate it to the high temple, invite the ancestors and gods to see it, and then publish it on the public cloth.  "To the world!" "No!" Yan Yi quickly said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Ting Weiqing Ji An and the imperial censor Liu She also came out and said: "I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"  "The legislative process has been completed, and it only needs to be compiled and sealed by the Tingwei and the Yushi doctor's office, and finally sent to Gaomiao, Wencheng Temple (Taizong), and Deyang Temple (the late emperor), so that the ancestors can take a look at it and announce it to the world.  , became a law.  The scholar-bureaucrats were all in agony and looked like they had no hope of life.  Especially the bureaucrats in the Qilu, Wu and Chu areas looked like their parents had died.  There is no way. Once the maritime law is enacted, it is equivalent to giving Lou Chuan the authority and confirming the maritime law enforcement power of Lou Chuan Yamen.  Since then, the jurisdiction of maritime affairs has been governed by laws.  More importantly, this means that in the future, coastal people can go to sea to engage in any legal business they want to engage in under the guidance of maritime laws.  The status of fishermen and fisheries has also been elevated from a marginalized position in society to a status equal to that of farmers and agriculture.  How does this make them comfortable?  But there are also smart people who are already thinking about how to take advantage of and adapt to this change.  After all, compared to digging for food in the soil, the benefits of the ocean are actually greater.  A boat can go out to sea for a few days and bring back a whole boatload of fresh fish.  The value far exceeds the output of hundreds or even thousands of acres of land!  And the scholar-bureaucrats and aristocrats themselves possess resources, power, manpower and material resources that far exceed those of ordinary people.  If you use it well, you can easily become a maritime overlord, and the benefits you gain may be far greater than before!  But few can turn this corner.  There are only dozens of people, and the others are still lamenting and complaining about the law of the sea.  On and off the boat, everyone was celebrating.  Xu Han, the building general, was so excited that he almost cried!  The legislation of the "Maritime Law" not only declares the legitimacy and authority of Lou Chuan, but also means that Lou Chuan has taken the first step to become an independent military service.  When he succeeds the next day, Xu Han will become the father of the building and ship, and will be admired by all generations!  ?????????¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ After the ¡°Sea and Territory Law¡±, bills such as the ¡°River Law¡± and the ¡°Flood Control Order¡± were passed on the third reading.    Among them, the river law is a law specially formulated for large rivers.  It is mainly a law specially formulated to prevent soil erosion and regulate rivers. This law stipulates that all activities that may cause soil erosion within 500 steps on both sides of the upper reaches of the river are prohibited.  It also stipulates the responsibility system for key river dam areas.  At the same time, according to this law, the Han Dynasty will set up the post of governor of the river, with a rank of three thousand stones, to oversee the management of rivers and the construction of flood control and dam projects.  Yan Xiong, the governor of Hedong County, became the first governor of Dahe.  As for the "Flood Control Order", it is a guidance document for flood control work in all waters.  It was clearly stated and pointed out that flood control dams and their construction are within the performance evaluation scope of Linhe County.  And clearly distinguish the responsibilities of local officials in the face of natural disasters such as floods and droughts.  Naturally, the ministers have no objection to these two laws.  ¡°It¡¯s just that the local officials feel a little stressed.  After the third reading of these two laws, it was time to revise the "Household Law", which was seriously concerned by all forces in this court meeting.  The household law is the most important law in the Han Empire. It is also a law that guides local officials to govern local areas. It is also a law related to social ethics and family responsibilities!  It is not a bad idea to say that it is the constitution of the empire!  Nowadays, when the household law is to be revised, it naturally attracts the attention of all parties.  Prior to this, the revision of household laws had already caused a stir in public opinion circles and both the government and the public.  Confucianism and Legalism, Huang Lao, collective attention.  As for the ministers of the government and the opposition, they are even more eye-catching!  There is no way, the household law affects the whole body, and even directly involves the country's foundation. Who dares to treat it lightly? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not?recognizable by the Qin Dynasty laws, but the provisions and systems have changed beyond recognition.  Yan Yi stood in the hall holding the document on the supplement and revision of household laws that was taken out after discussions between Tingwei, Lantai and the Prime Minister's Office. Just taking a glance at it, he was so shocked that his hands were shaking.  .  Barely able to calm down, he read almost in a trembling voice: "According to your Majesty's order, the court Wei Qing Ji An, the imperial censor Liu She, and the prime minister Chao Cuo will have officials from the department to discuss the addition and repair of the "Household Code".  To add three articles and seven paragraphs, and to revise seven of the orders, we will discuss it with the ministers" As he said, he read out the contents of the document: "Those who wish to add are as follows: The law for adding households and the law for setting up households, one paragraph: for ordinary people  There are two or more sons who are twenty-three years old. They are all living in other households. They are not as good as the order, and they have twice their gifts. If they are not as good as the order, the county department will force them to join the reclamation regiment" This article was read out, and the officials expressed their emotions.  Stable, only the Confucian ministers were a little uneasy.  ¡°Big family, big clan, this is the belief and cornerstone of Confucianism.  However, the Qin and Han dynasties were determined to destroy and dismember the foundation of large clans and families.  The system of alien children formulated by Lord Shang is naturally the nemesis of large clans and families!  However, Confucianism is now unable to resist at all, and can only hold its nose and admit this system and related laws.  Yan Yi continued to read: "Revise Article 18 of the Household Law to read: A wife is not allowed to have a household. If the people want to leave the household, a supervisor should allow it" Although the change in this article is not big, the impact is astonishingly large.  !  Before today, the provisions of this law were: A wife was not allowed to have a household. If the people wanted to leave a household, they should do so when they were in the eighth month, but not when it was not a household.  Now it has been modified to allow people to apply for a separate household at any time.  There is no doubt that this further strengthens the system of alien children.  Yan Yi continued to read: "Added Article 19: Village Pavilion Chiefs and Li Zhengs will be selected in June. Three sages of the Village Pavilion will be selected by the public for public election, based on the number of households, and the one with the most votes will be selected.  Right" As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall suddenly became noisy.  ??Anyone who is not a fool can hear it. This is to learn from the businessmen in the market to exercise power through elections!  The reaction of local officials was particularly fierce!  The pavilion is long and upright, it seems inconspicuous, but in fact it is the most critical part of the place.  They are the people who have direct contact with the local people. They are the key to the government's control of local power. They are also the key to the literati and nobles being able to prey on the people!  Now, the chief of the pavilion and the chief of the pavilion have to be voted by the mud-legged people?  How can this be possible?  Do those mud-legged people know what a wise person is?  Do they understand what is good and what is bad?  If this article is really going to be passed, then from now onAre the unscrupulous people no longer allowed to raise their tails to the sky?  How can the big guys continue to fool or even manipulate them?  Originally, Liu Che¡¯s reform of giving priority to retired soldiers and officers to serve as pavilion chiefs and lizheng made the scholar-bureaucrats and landlords very dissatisfied.  Many of these people who have retired from the army are not like local officials at all. They do their own thing, teach the knowledge and techniques they learned from the army to the people, and know how to use laws and systems to speak for the people.  Since then, many places have been filled with unscrupulous people, and the good and honest atmosphere has disappeared.  What if there is another voting like this?  Diaomin cann't it be?  8)
