When the people are strong and the country is weak, when the people are weak and the country is strong, the way to govern the country should be to weaken the people. ——"Shang Jun Shu"
The six skills of controlling the people are to weaken the people, humiliate the people, fool the people, impoverish the people, abuse the people, and tire the people.
Until modern times, the Qing government regarded civilized people as a scourge, even more terrifying than foreign cannons.
As a ruler, the simplest way to govern is to make the people below you as stupid as possible.
But Zhu Xiongying chose a more difficult path,
Let China be civilized.
It is not only necessary for Ming Dynasty to be civilized, but also for Ming Dynasty people to be civilized.
Yang Pu and Fang Xiaoru didn't even dare to take a breath. Listening to His Majesty's words, it was as if the sages in the book appeared out of thin air, unfolding the picture of the Peach Blossom Spring in a lifelike way.
A strange emotion arose in my chest,
That emotion is indescribable, nobler and greater.
"People will change, people will grow old, and people will die." Zhu Xiongying said with emotion, "But civilization will exist and will continue to advance. I want the future era to not be limited to a few families...
I want, my Chinese people, everyone is like a dragon. "
There was a snap,
The tea cup in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand slipped to the ground. This was a completely impossible mistake for Mr. Hong Wu, who always cherished things.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang now had no time to feel distressed. The tea cup fell to pieces on the ground. He just looked at his eldest grandson with burning eyes.
His eldest grandson had never said these words to him, and Lao Zhu only made inferences from his eldest grandson's daily behavior.
But even if Lao Zhu tried his best to think, he could not imagine that his eldest grandson would actually do such a thing!
Small!
How small!
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that his contribution to rebuilding China was so insignificant.
However, Lao Zhu felt with complicated emotions that it was great that he could establish a dynasty.
Because we gave our eldest grandson a step forward!
Grandpa recreates China! My grandson wants everyone in China to be like a dragon!
If it succeeds, in all the history books of human existence, no one will ever be able to match the brilliant achievements of these two people!
"So, what does it mean to open lawyers to the public? This is just a small step."
Zhu Xiongying smiled lightly and said,
But even if His Majesty smiled very restrainedly, in the eyes of Lao Zhu and the others, it was simply radiant and charming!
Thump, thump, thump three times,
Jiang Gu, Yang Pu, and Fang Xiaoru all knelt together.
"I am willing to devote all my efforts to share your Majesty's worries!"
There is such an emperor with such a charming personality, and these ministers are left with nothing they don’t want.
The three of them had an idea in their minds at the same time.
It is such a blessing to be your Majesty’s minister!
"Your Majesty!" Yang Pu raised his head full of energy,
"you say."
Zhu Xiongying looked at Yang Pu encouragingly,
Just like giving out test papers to everyone, Zhu Xiongying in the past directly distributed the standard answers together and asked everyone to take the open-book exam.
But now, Zhu Xiongying is deliberately changing this. He not only wants to enlighten the people's wisdom, but also cultivates the independent thinking of those around him.
It is definitely impossible to achieve the great ideal by relying on oneself alone.
There are three gangs of heroes, and he is the emperor no matter what, so why should there be a gang of three hundred heroes?
"Your Majesty, I think that if the people of Ming Dynasty are allowed to engage in the profession of lawyers, they need to think more.
Even if farmers are farming, they need qualifications to find land parcels from the imperial government. A profession like a lawyer, which can make the difference between life and death, requires qualification review.
Wei Chen believes that the lawyer qualification examination can be set up in a time-sharing manner, either once a year or once every three years. Only after passing the official assessment can one be admitted to the profession. "
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and nodded in agreement. It is certainly possible to open lawyers to private citizens to ease the pressure on the Ministry of Justice to judge cases.
But we can’t ask the authorities to completely exempt themselves from restrictions.
Yang Pu's method can be regarded as the optimal solution. It neither allows the official to interfere too much with private lawyers, thus making the judiciary completely official, nor allows the private sector to grow wildly.
Instead, they juggled a qualification review.
It not only ensures the independence of practicing lawyers, but also imposes moral constraints.
"You kid, your head is spinning so fast. You thought of it before we even thought of it?
From now on, follow our eldest grandson! "
After Yang Pu was told something by Master Hong Wu, his face turned red with excitement.
"Yes. I'm sure of your idea. I want you to take charge of this matter. Can you do it?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!"
Seeing Yang Pu showing his face like this in front of His Majesty, Fang Xiaoru became competitive in her heart and quickly said,
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen also has some ideas!"
"Say it too."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes that we need to increase efforts to popularize the law. It would be best to set up law classes in the Capital University."
Zhu Xiongying felt helpless after hearing this.
A wise man will surely make a mistake if he thinks a lot.
How could I have forgotten this?
Opening law courses in the Capital University can be said to be the biggest hotbed for cultivating Ming lawyers!
"I'm sure!
How much trouble do you have on my behalf regarding the opening of law classes in the Capital University? "
Seeing that His Majesty also accepted his opinion, Fang Xiaoru became more confident and responded loudly,
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Then, the air became inexplicably quiet,
Jiang Wei, who lowered his head, suddenly felt that all eyes were focused on him.
Looking up, it was true.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked,
"Then they both have ideas, but you don't have any?"
"Forehead..."
Jiang Wei was afraid of what might happen, and complained endlessly in his heart.
He, Yang Pu and Fang Xiaoru are not in the same system. Is this something that he should worry about?
How is this different from asking the Duke of Japan to go to court to advocate for tax law reform?
But the atmosphere has reached this point. It seems that Jiang Wei can't even say a few words. Jiang Wei's head hurts. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, he didn't hold back a fart.
"Your Majesty, you should go catch Huang Bo!"
This sentence almost made Zhu Xiongying laugh, but now he is the emperor after all, and it is impossible to hold his belly and laugh silly, Zhu Xiongying can only suppress his laughter,
"You trash thing, get out of here."
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly that Lao Zhu had a good face towards Yang Pu and the others, but never a good face towards Jiang Gu. Talking to him was like training a dog.
But to Jiang Wei's ears, these words were no different from Xianle.
This is like throwing a master of sword fighting into a transport ship to fight with snipers. The hero has no place to use.
Jiang Wei quickly thanked En and got out, and rushed out of the city to capture Huang Bo.
As soon as Jiang Gu left, Yang Pu and Fang Xiaoru were inspired again.
Yang Pu quickly said,
"Your Majesty! I am a minister..."
"Yang Qing, please sort out the preliminary plan for me and then submit it to me."
Zhu Xiongying didn't have the time to listen to these two people talking about each other here and there.
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
