Chapter 437: Five punishments

Views:

Wang Tu didn't expect it. He just touched Yan Rui's chest with his hand. Before he could untie the knot on her waist, he heard a cry from behind him: "Bold,"

Although Wang Tu is tall and handsome, and he is still the captain of the soldiers, his martial arts is ordinary and not enough for the two guards to see. After hard work, he was thrown to the ground and looked at Yan Rui. , The temples were also loose, the dress was torn, and he ran out crying and crying. The two guards were like wolves and tigers. Wang Tufen said, dragging him into the prison first, and the result was I ran into Liu Xin and his party,

Although guessing the general situation of the matter, Ma Yun was still not angry when seeing the hole in the long skirt, and said: "Anyway, this Wang Tu has done something that shouldn't be done. Severe punishment,"

Liu Xin knew that she was trying to vent her anger for Diaochan, and he himself was trying to find Wangtu's unlucky attitude, so he didn't point it out, and said with a smile: "My wife's words are Jinkouyuyan. If you sit down, I will make arrangements. Now, severely punish Wang Tu,"

Ma Yun reminded: "He was someone sent by Cao Cao anyway, and Yan Rui deliberately seduced him. Let him be alive."

Liu Xin originally wanted to kill Wang Tu. Probably because of coming to Ying'er, he hated Wang Tu from the bottom of his heart. Although it is certain that Wang Tu was framed by Yan Rui, these are all horses. Yun speculated that Liu Xin could completely assume that he did not know the truth. Wang Tu still had no idea. However, since Ma Yun had already reminded him, Liu Xin had to reconsider a penalty to punish Wang Tu.

Although he has been here for ten years, Liu Xin really doesn’t know much about the punishments of this era, because he basically doesn’t need to deal with these things personally. Leaving Wang Tu’s life, all Liu Xin knew was imprisonment and stick responsibility, but these two penalties were too cheap for him, but Liu Xin really couldn’t think of any other penalties, so he had to order someone to take him. Jushou found it,

Jushou has been busy investigating the family property of the treasury for the past two days. Since learning that Liu Xin is not receiving his salary, he has been restless and worried about the humiliation of his officials. When this happens, Jushou feels that he has an inescapable responsibility and he must help Liu Xin. Get out of the financial crisis as soon as possible,

In the past, Xiangzhi and white porcelain were the two main financial pillars. The poor sales are not because these two products are not popular, but because of the unstable current situation. Since last year, Moxiangzhai and porcelain shops have been located in various places. It has been closed one after another, and this turbulent situation will obviously continue for a while, and it is temporarily impossible to count on.

Next, I can only think of a way of taxation. Although Liu Xin is in charge of the Jing, Yi, Si, Liang four states, the three Jiangnan counties in Yangzhou and the Yingchuan county in Yuzhou, but the two states of Si, Liang and the three Jiangnan counties, Yi The four Nanzhong counties and Hanzhong counties in the prefecture are unlikely to have tax deductions this year. Not only are these places unable to provide taxes, they also need to allocate a large amount of money to assist these places to restore production and restore order.

At present, only Jingzhou, most of Yizhou and Yingchuan County can pay taxes. The annual tax revenue in these places is about 2 billion yuan, which has increased significantly compared with Liu Hong’s time. Jushou is not worried about this. Counties and counties will have shortfalls in the amount of these taxes reported. There will be too much deviation, because all taxes are paid to the Dahan Bank. As long as the accounts of the Dahan Bank are transferred out, one can find out the benefits of this. This not only prevents local government from making false reports and concealing reports, but also enhances the strength of Dahan Bank. Others don’t know who the boss behind Dahan Bank is, and Jushou is very clear. Therefore, he believes that tax revenue goes to Dahan Bank than in counties and counties. It’s safer in the treasury, and it’s much more convenient to use.

The two billion dollars in tax revenue is not a small sum if it is put in normal times. For the many major things Liu Xin is doing now, although it is not a drop in the bucket, it is indeed not enough.

In the past, Liu Xin had another important source of wealth, that is, "robbing the rich and helping the poor". This is no longer necessary. The three counties of Jiangnan and Liangzhou are already barren, and there are not many wealthy households that can be robbed. Although the wealth is amazing, it can barely support the reconstruction of Guanzhong, Chang'an and Luoyang.

Jushou left and right calculations, but couldn't come up with a good way. In desperation, he had to turn his attention to the salt and iron monopoly. After Liu Xin took control of Jingzhou, he has been thinking about the salt and iron monopoly. Jushou mentioned it several times, but he has not been able to make this determination.

Because in Liu Xin’s impression, although the salt and iron monopoly can provide a certain tax channel for the country, it is also a breeding ground for **, like the large salt merchants in the Qing Dynasty, all of them are rich and rich, and their money has not yet passed. Is the salt franchise collected from the common people? Even in the era when he lived, the salt industry monopolized it, which made it impossible to buy cheap ordinary salt in supermarkets. Instead, he could only buy the so-called “nutrient salt” at an ridiculously high price.

Now, Jushou has no other way to think about it, so he got his brains on the salt and iron monopoly. Even if a load of salt is taxed five dollars more, it will accumulate less and become a tower, which is not a small sum, after all, salt Things are necessities of life. No matter rich or poor, high or low, they cannot do without it. However, before Ju Hui could figure out what price should be more appropriate for the salt and iron, he received the news that Liu Xin called him to go.

After hearing Liu Xin's introduction, Jushou pondered for a while, and said, "If the lord wants to punish this Wang Tu without hurting his life, there are three types of punishments that can be used."

Liu Xin suddenly became energetic, and asked repeatedly: "Gongyou, don't sell it, let's talk about it."

Regarding the new words that Liu Xin popped up from time to time, Jushou was not surprised, and smiled and said: "In ancient times, there were five punishments: Mo, 劓, 剕, Gong, and Dabi. Dakai is the death penalty, and the lord wants to save his life. Naturally it doesn’t apply. Ink punishment is tattooing on the forehead, and the punishment is too light. The lord can choose one of three punishments: 劓, 剕, or palace."

Liu Xin pondered: "What do you mean by two punishments?"

Gai, Gai, and Gong are all corporal punishments, and have been gradually abandoned since the time of Emperor Wenjing. Therefore, in Jushou's view, Liu Xin is not familiar with these punishments and it is reasonable, so he patiently explained: "The punishment is cut off. The nose of a prisoner is to be cut off the feet of the prisoner, and the torture is to be cut off..."

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "I know the imperial punishment. Needless to say, Wang Tu intends to stigmatize women. I think he will be imprisoned, so that he will be a hundred, and he will completely stop thinking about it in the future, so as not to commit another crime."

Jushou originally wanted to suggest Liu Xin to impose punishment on Wang Tu, with a slight punishment. If he was tortured, this Wang Tu would be an abolition, and palace punishment would be a great insult to a man, but, Jushou didn't expect Liu Xin to choose palace punishment at once. He was taken aback and said, "Wang Tu is Cao Cao's. If the lord imposes palace punishment on him, I'm afraid that Cao Cao's face will not survive."

Liu Xin knows what Cao Cao is. He will never be guilty with himself at this time for the sake of a small soldier captain. He couldn't help but laughed and said, "Gong, you don't have to worry about Cao Cao. He should also thank me. "

Jushou said in a strange way: "Why should he thank the lord,"

Liu Xin said with a smirk, "Cao Cao has many beautiful wives and concubines in his house, and he keeps such a lecher by his side. Sooner or later he will get something for him..."

Jushou didn’t expect that Liu Xin’s gratitude was actually such a thing, so he couldn’t laugh or cry. However, he still had his own ideas about Liu Xin’s decision to impose imperial punishment on Wang Tu, and continued to persuade him: “Go back to the lord, impose imperial punishment on Wang Tu. It’s okay, but there is no suitable person who can execute the sentence."

Liu Xin was surprised: "Is it difficult to impose palace punishment?"

Jushou said: "The subordinates have never seen what the imperial punishment is like. They have only seen the records in ancient books. They need to be protected from wind, warm, and quiet. If there is no person who knows this way, the person who is tortured will easily die because of it. "

Liu Xin was bent on imposing imperial punishment on Wang Tu. Wouldn’t it be too cheap for him to just cut off his nose, but after hearing Jushou’s words, he still hesitated, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Hua He has great medical skills, and he dared to do even the beginning of his head. The palace sentence should not be a problem. Why not ask him."

Jushou hurriedly said: "The genius doctor Hua is dedicated to treating the disease and saving people. I am afraid that even if he threatens him with death, he will not do this kind of thing."

Liu Xin couldn't help but froze. With Hua Tuo as a person, what Jushou said is not impossible. Besides, Hua Tuo's generation of famous doctors can't let him become a small swordsman who specializes in cutting human eggs.

Jushou saw Liu Xin remain silent, knowing that he was a little shaken in his heart, and continued to persuade him: "Enlighten the lord, Wang Tu, who is a woman, should be severely punished. If the lord feels that the punishment is too light, he can also add 髡, Second punishment,"

Fearing that Liu Xin would not understand, Jushou continued to explain: "Although the two punishments of 刵 and 刵 are in addition to the five punishments, they are also extremely severe punishments. The torture is to shave off his hair, and the torture is to cut off his ears."

In Liu Xin's opinion, shaving hair is not considered a penalty, but people at that time believed that body hair and skin should not be discarded lightly. Only when the later generations of Qing soldiers enter the customs will they have their heads and no hair, and no hair. The cruel rule of head retention was to completely attack the self-esteem of the Han people, so at the time, the torture could even be parallel to the palace sentence, which was considered a very severe punishment.

Liu Xin thought for a while and asked: "If these three types of punishments are imposed on him at the same time, there will be people who will execute them."

Jushou heard Liu Xin's tone soften and hurriedly said: "These punishments are not as complicated as imperial punishments, and people in every county can execute them. Naturally, Xiangyang is no exception. It is estimated that some people in this prison will do it."

Liu Xin thinks about it, but it’s just cutting off her nose, ears, and shaving her hair. There should be no technical difficulty, so she nodded and said, “If that’s the case, then do it, let’s go, you will go to the prison with me. Take a look,"
