Chapter 826

"This is the process of selecting county magistrate in jia'an county. Everything went well and nothing went wrong in the process. Just to my surprise, in the end, all the villagers in jia'an County voted for Wang Shuan the most, making Wang Shuan the county magistrate..."

After finishing the selection of Jiaan county magistrate, Shi Changfeng and his party returned to Pingxi city. It was already late. However, Yan Liqiang was still handling official affairs in the governor's office and receiving officials at this time, so Shi Changfeng directly went to Yan Liqiang to report on the selection process of Jiaan county magistrate during the day.

Neither of them had dinner. Yan Liqiang and Shi Changfeng ate and talked in the back garden of the governor's residence.

Yan Liqiang poured Shi Changfeng a glass of wine, then asked with a smile, "do you think a cadre of villagers in jia'an county will choose Su Youlun in the end?"

"How did the warden know?" Shi Changfeng looked at Yan Liqiang in surprise.

"You and Su Youlun have known each other before, had contact and had private friends. You think he is good, so you naturally want him to win!"

"Could it be that the supervisor had guessed that the winner of jia'an county was Wang Shuan?"

"I guessed in advance that the Wang family is a big family in jia'an county. The family is rich. As a local squire, Wang Shuan has a good reputation for building bridges and roads and helping orphans and widows. Wang Shuan is also smart. He knows that what the local people hate most is official corruption. If the officials are greedy, the people will be less. Every penny the officials are greedy, In the end, they were actually scraped from the people, so you see, he swore and swore that this was what he said before the villagers voted. Now he is asking for fame, not wealth. With the backing of his Wang family, he is qualified to say so. Those villagers have no fools. They all know that as long as the county magistrate is not greedy, even if he is incompetent, he will only follow the rules, In fact, it has little impact. It is good officials who can make the people in the county live a stable life. Naturally, there are many people who vote for him. In this regard, Shao Yuanjie and Su Youlun are a little less than Wang Shua... "

"I see!" Shi Changfeng shook his head and smiled, clinked a glass with Yan Liqiang, and took a sip of wine. "One more thing, this time I went to jia'an county and learned that there are actually some problems in the selection of township sages in jia'an county. In some places, the township sages, that is, the local Pavilion leader, jia chang, are self-employed and have not been recommended by the people. The rights of township sages in jia'an county will greatly increase in the next four years, These people picked up a bargain... "

"It's normal to let people pick up cheap at first, because at the beginning, the people in jia'an County didn't know that the name of this villager could affect the selection of county magistrate, and few people paid attention to it. After the selection of county magistrate in the four counties, the people in Pingxi County knew that the name of this villager was not empty, but a real power to select and supervise county magistrate, At that time, if the local people recommend the villagers again, the people will strive for it, and they will not be fooled by a few people at will. At that time, we will transfer the rules for the local people to recommend the villagers, and everything will be natural. The rules are set, and there will be fraud at the beginning. Let's catch a few, kill a few, and support the people several times, No one dares to be clever... "

After listening to Yan Liqiang's words, Shi Changfeng suddenly understood that Yan Liqiang had already known that some of the villagers recommended by the four counties were problematic and not very standardized, but Yan Liqiang didn't care, because the purpose of this selection was to throw bricks and attract jade. Yan Liqiang just wanted to let the people in the county know the importance of the position of villagers and let everyone pay attention to it, At the same time, I also know that the county magistrate can come like this.

"Do adults want to comprehensively promote the measures of county magistrate selection in Qiyun County in the future?"

Yan Liqiang shook his head. "It's not urgent. Let's take a look at the four counties this time, even if they are pilot projects. Let's see what problems there are and sum up the experience. If the effect is really good, we can consider promoting it at that time. Now the system of the Han Empire has been handed down for many years, and many people are used to it, It's unrealistic to completely deny changing a set of rules at once. If we don't do it well, there will be big trouble. We can take small steps slowly. After the selection of the county heads of the four counties, I'm going to take some reform measures in the four counties. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Mr. Shi to take the initiative at that time... "

When Yan Liqiang said the familiar name of Mr. Shi again, Shi Changfeng smiled, "what else are you going to do?"

"What I'm going to do is also related to the villagers!"

"It has something to do with the villagers. Do you think the power of the villagers in the four counties is not big enough?"

Yan Liqiang didn't answer directly, but shook his head and asked, "the law of the Han Dynasty of the Han Empire has 32 volumes, including one volume of name laws, two volumes of official laws, seven volumes of household laws, two volumes of ritual laws, five volumes of military laws, twelve volumes of criminal laws and three volumes of industrial laws. Only one volume of name laws includes five punishments, canes, disciples, exiles, death, ten evils, rebellion, rebellion, evil rebellion, immorality Great disrespect, unfilial piety, disharmony, injustice, civil strife, eight discussions, discussion of relatives, reason, merit, merit, ability, diligence, honor and guests. The law of the Great Han Dynasty is almost perfect without omission. The law of the Great Han Dynasty not only takes the essence of the law of the previous dynasty, but also has been compiled by countless capable and wise people in this dynasty, looking at the silver continent, There are only a few countries and races with such complete laws. The protection of the people all over the world in the law of the Great Han Dynasty is not considerate, and the punishment for those who commit crimes, embezzle money and bend the law is not harsh. Since the law of the Great Han Empire has the law of the Great Han Dynasty, why do countless people want to rebel and join the white lotus sect? There are slight changes in the world, Why do people all over the world flock together and no one believes in any law? "

Shi Changfeng put down his wine glass, frowned and pondered for a moment, "the reason is that although the law of the Great Han Dynasty is good, it is too difficult to enforce the law impartially below, which makes it difficult for the people at the bottom to redress their grievances and justify their reasons. As long as there is deep resentment, naturally, they can only use violence to control violence..." yes, that's right. If the law of the Great Han Dynasty can be implemented, Local governments can handle cases and enforce the law impartially, protect the good, punish the evil, rely on the weak and fear the strong, and can keep the bottom line of legal justice in people's hearts. In this world, where will there be so many arrogant, extravagant, arrogant and domineering officials who ignore the life and death of the people, and where will there be so many people who are fierce and want to kill officials, rebel and change the world, How can the white lotus sect echo with one voice and cause such a big wave in the Han Empire? In the final analysis, most of the root causes of everything in the Han Empire today are problems in the implementation of the law! "“ But what does this have to do with the sages? " Shi Changfeng didn't understand at once“ Of course, it matters, and it matters a lot. 99% of the people in the world, 99% of the problems and lawsuits encountered in their life, can be solved in one county. In the past, as long as there were one or two corrupt and perverted county magistrates in this county, the whole county was full of smoke, and any law was a dead letter and any case, It can be judged by them. Once the people enter the government office, they are like fish on the chopping board. There is no room for struggle and maneuver. I plan to implement the jury system in the four counties in the future. The trials of all lawsuits in the four counties must be attended by seven local sages. If the final result cannot be agreed by more than four of the seven local sages, It is invalid. One hundred Township sages in each county take turns to draw lots to participate in the trial of lawsuits in a county. They can't be scheduled in advance. After the trial of the case, the files of the case file, the decision of the trial chief officer, and the opinions of the jurors and Township sages are published, so that the people can see that although this method can't completely prevent someone from embezzling money and bending the law, However, it can eliminate and reduce the harm caused by corruption and perverting the law to the greatest extent, increase the cost of corruption and perverting the law, minimize the number of unfair trials and lawsuits, so that the people's will and public opinion can be truly reflected... "Shi Changfeng was stunned. He didn't expect Yan Liqiang to come up with such a method in his mind, but think about it carefully, This method is indeed a hundred times better than the current system of the Han Empire. If it can be popularized, it may be possible to protect the good, punish the evil, rely on the weak and fear the strong, as Yan Liqiang said, This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stopped our translation
