After more than a month of depression, it finally rained again!
Not to mention that the peasants who depended on the sky for food were overjoyed, even the officials in Shuntian Prefecture looked a little more happy than before.
Only Sun Shaozong had tossed with Ruan Rong until the middle of the night yesterday, and when he arrived at the yamen, he felt a little sluggish.
Fortunately, I had already dealt with the official duties yesterday, and there is nothing important now, so Sun Shaozong simply set up a relaxing chair under the porch and closed his eyes to rest while listening to the sound of the rain.
He was wandering between sleep and not sleep, but he heard someone stepped on the water splashes and hurried to the corridor, walked around him, and then entered the hall to talk to Sun Chengye.
After a while, the man hurried away on the water again.
"how."
After sending the person away, Sun Chengye also went to the corridor. Just as he was about to call, he heard Sun Shaozong ask lazily, "Yin Han has sent someone here, is there any important official business, or is there another meeting?"
But it turned out that he was talented just now, and he had squinted his eyes to see who was coming, but he was too lazy to pay attention to the other party.
Sun Chengye hurriedly said: "It's still the matter of 'verifying slave ownership'. Now the merchants in the city have been roughly screened, and then it will be the turn of the officials and eunuchs - so the governor hopes to summarize the experience and lessons, discuss and discuss the merits first. Let's see what we can improve."
In the final analysis, I am still afraid that I will not know the seriousness and offend some dignitaries who should not be offended.
However, this is just right. After this round of investigation, Sun Shaozong has indeed summed up some lessons and plans to discuss it internally before going to the court.
So he got up and stretched a big waist, and then instructed Sun Chengye to take out his robes, and then walked towards the inner hall on his own.
Who knew about the inner hall, but saw that there was no one inside, only a small official was standing behind the door.
Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside, the clerk hurriedly bowed and said, "I want to let Lord Zhizhong know, because Jiafu Cheng thought the house was stuffy and the good rain was useless, so he decided to discuss matters in the pavilion in the backyard."
tsk~
It's really casually tight.
Sun Shaozong had no choice but to turn back again.
On the way, I bumped into Wei Ruolan and led him to the backyard.
The two of them had nothing to say on the way. Seeing the gazebo near, Wei Ruolan suddenly asked, "Sun Zhizhong, what's the progress of the 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' you mentioned the day before yesterday?"
This sudden question made Sun Shaozong really stumped.
Even if King Zhongshun did not explain, Sun Shaozong would not be stupid enough to reveal the news to Wei Ruolan.
But Wei Ruolan was also the second-in-command in the Department of Criminal Law.
After hesitating for a while, Sun Shaozong said in a casual dress, "I found some features, but..."
While talking, he deliberately looked at Wei Ruolan, and said hesitantly, "It's just that I haven't been able to find out clearly, or maybe I'm really worrying."
"Is it?"
Hearing Sun Shaozong's answer, Wei Ruolan's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile that she didn't know whether it was playful or contemptuous, and said, "What a pity."
pity
Does this fellow hope that he and King Beijing will face each other so that they can get a bargain, or does he have other ideas
Sun Shaozong speculated in his heart, but after all, he had scruples in his heart, so it was not easy to ask anything, so he went to the pavilion with Wei Ruolan, each with a ghost.
Seeing the two of them arrive, Jia Yucun laughed and said, "There is a saying that it is better to come early than to come by coincidence, but it just so happens that the green plum wine has just been cooked, and Sun Zhizhong and Wei Tong have arrived."
Green plum cooking wine
This cultural person likes to engage in petty bourgeoisie.
Sun Shaozong and Wei Ruolan took off their robes, and after they greeted the crowd, they also took their seats separately—because it was a hexagonal pavilion, and the three court officials and the three general judges each had a corner, which was quite harmonious.
Only the treatment of Chen Zhichuang was a little worse, and he couldn't be on par with the other bosses, so he could only bring in a small horse and sit near the copper stove. Like grandson.
After each shared a cup of hot green plum wine, and drank it for another round [actually, it was too hot to drink], Han Anbang finally got to the point.
"My lords."
He heard him say loudly: "After the concerted efforts of the whole family in these days, the situation of slave ownership in the merchants' homes in the city has been roughly investigated."
"But the next step is the real highlight, so this government specially convened everyone to discuss the previous gains and losses, and see if there is anything else that can be learned from and needs to be improved."
Holding a glass of green plum wine, Sun Shaozong leaned against the fence looking contented, but after Han An finished his speech, he immediately said, "Actually, the investigation of the merchants can be completed ahead of time this time, thanks to Wei Tong's conscientiousness and diligence. Bad work."
Wei Ruolan listened to him complimenting herself, and was waiting for a few words of humility, but Sun Shaozong suddenly changed his words and said, "But first the case of 'Shenxian San', and then the verification of slavery, Wei Tong's sentence is really hard. Ultimately, it is really not appropriate to continue to work hard."
Wei Ruolan's face sank immediately, and she was about to refute the words of slaughtering the donkey. Who knew that Han Anbang, Jia Yucun, Fu Shi, Zhao Liben and the others all nodded in agreement and said yes, indicating that it was appropriate to let Wei Ruolan have a good life. Take some rest.
As a result, it was a foregone conclusion that Wei Ruolan would retreat behind the scenes, and it would be useless to tell the difference. He only made his annoyed forehead blue veins jump, but he really couldn't understand why he suddenly became the target of public criticism!
In fact, in these days, Wei and Chou's vigorous and resolute efficiency is certainly eye-catching, but their unscrupulous behavior has made everyone's heart skip a beat.
Now that the officials at all levels are about to be found out, it is the time when they need to be prudent. How can the big guy dare to let them let go
It was Sun Shaozong who saw this, and he took the initiative to mention it, which made Wei Ruolan suffer a big loss.
However, after Sun Shaozong's first proposal was passed almost unanimously, he took out a few pages of tissue paper from his sleeve and shook it away: "In addition, after these days of investigation, the lower officials found that those slaves who were abducted and sold, Thirty percent of them were kidnapped by beggars or gangsters dressed as beggars."
"In view of this, Xiaguan made a simple count. Over the years, beggars in the city have committed various cases, and found that the proportion has been increasing year by year, and the probability of gangs committing crimes far exceeds that of ordinary people."
"Therefore, the lower officials are going to present to the court and try out the beggar's armor system in our Shuntian Prefecture."
"The beggar armor system?"
When Han Anbang heard the words, he frowned and questioned: "Let's not say that this matter has nothing to do with the verification of slave ownership. Just because the beggars have no fixed place to live, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to implement Baojia?"
The so-called baojia system is actually a joint system. The government has come forward to organize civilians into baojias of varying numbers. Once one of them is convicted, the entire baojia will be implicated.
Therefore, in order not to be implicated by the people with Baojia, the people will spontaneously supervise each other.
However, that is something that can only be done between neighbors, and it seems that a highly mobile group like beggars is not suitable for this kind of operation.
"Lord Fu Yin doesn't know anything."
Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "Although there are quite a few beggars wandering around in the city today, more beggars are begging within a certain range, and there are even beggars who exploit other beggars."
"This generation used to love leisure and hate work, and now they have formed a gang. If they are not brought under the jurisdiction of the government as soon as possible, it will inevitably be a disaster over time."
"Therefore, the lower officials hoped that the beggars begging in the fixed streets would be compiled into Baojia, and the government would come forward to designate the Baojia and Jiachang, and then delineate their respective areas. If there are beggars in the area, no matter whether the Baojia is For that, they will all be punished together.”
This is equivalent to sharing part of the government's responsibilities with the beggars. If it was an ordinary good citizen, this would be a bit too harsh.
But beggars these days are discriminated against by the government and the people. Since the government's responsibilities can be reduced and there is no need to spend any expenses, who cares about whether the beggars are wronged
Therefore, everyone inquired about some details, such as: whether the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled should receive certain pardons and preferential treatment, or how to distinguish between bad people pretending to be beggars and so on.
Seeing that Sun Shaozong's answers were fluent, it was obvious that he had considered it for a long time, and everyone expressed their supportive attitude.
Jia Yucun even suggested that he would take advantage of the situation: "If this is the case, I might as well sign the memorial on Sun Zhizhong's memorial, so as to attract the attention of the court."
As he said that, he bowed again and gave Sun Shaozong a salute, and said with a half-truth sneer: "If it is because of the virtuous brother's idea, those beggars can't bear it, and they all become self-reliant. But it's disrespectful."
This 'good brother' and 'brother' made Han Anbang's face turn a little darker - Sun Shaozong couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that Han Anbang didn't know that he was about to be banished to another place until now
