The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 300
"Court?"

"What does the court that Dasun said have anything to do with Dali Temple?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help asking.

At present, the judiciary of the Ming Dynasty is called the Three Jurisprudence Departments based on the Department of Criminal Justice and the Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In the event of a major case, it will be heard by the three law departments, also known as the "three-division joint trial".

In terms of functions and powers, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is equivalent to the procuratorate of later generations, the Dali Temple is equivalent to the Supreme Court of later generations, and the Ministry of Punishment is responsible for the national penalty orders and review of criminal names.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand the meaning of Dasun's sudden proposal to set up a separate court.

Zhu Ying explained: "The responsibilities of the third division are clear, and there are no loopholes in the law. The biggest problem is not with the third division, but with the officials themselves."

"The court that grandson wants to build is based on the law. Everyone except the royal family, regardless of whether they are scholars, farmers, businessmen, nobles, or officials, must be bound by the law."

"To achieve such an effect, a complete judicial team must be established separately, completely separated from other officials, and the details must be constantly improved."

"Nowadays, my Ming law is mainly based on criminal law, with litigation, civil and other aspects, but my grandson's idea is to change the way, focus on civil and litigation, and establish a separate criminal law to make it There is a clear distinction."

The laws of the Ming Dynasty are more of a reference for the presiding judge. How the case is judged does not need to be based on any legal provisions.

When encountering a trial case, the personal preference of the presiding officer will determine the final outcome of the case.

For example, a serious criminal, but he is good at defending and acting, as long as he can impress the presiding judge, it is already enough for the standard of death penalty, and he may be released in court.

Of course, under normal circumstances, what impresses the chief judge depends on the weight of the money. The heavier the weight, the easier it is to impress the chief judge.

For example, the county magistrate is almost the existence of the three divisions in one, and many more exaggerated cases are judged in this way.

Coupled with the transfer of official positions, after a long time, mutual protection between officials and officials will naturally form.

What Zhu Ying wants to do is to break this convention, so that the common people can, to a certain extent, contend with officials when they suffer injustice.

At this step, Zhu Ying is also prepared.

The existence of the Department of Public Security is to first deprive the magistrates of their armed forces, and what they have to do now is to take away their judicial power.

This approach weakened the privileges of officials to a certain extent, and even local officials did not dare to be unscrupulous.

In this way, the rule of people in Ming Dynasty was transformed into the rule of law.

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he did not answer immediately, but carefully considered the feasibility in his heart.

Dasun's thinking is almost a complete change for Da Ming now.

The independence of the judiciary means that the selection of talents will be diverted, and the items of the imperial examinations will also be diverted.

The ultimate trend is to gradually transform the sources of officials into imperial examinations, gradually replacing referrals.

Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of the system is very deep. The entire Ming system was almost created by him.

But now Dasun's idea has a great impact on Zhu Yuanzhang's system.

From business to military administration, and now to the judiciary, Zhu Yuanzhang feels like reversing the situation and starting over.

However, this feeling did not make Zhu Yuanzhang feel disgusted, but felt very reasonable.

Zhu Yuanzhang also gradually realized that Dasun's different views from his own largely stemmed from the difference in core.

The Ming system created by Zhu Yuanzhang is a system with strict hierarchy.

From the royal family, to officials, to soldiers, to scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants, there are distinct levels.

Dasun is completely different here.

Here in Dasun, there are only two levels, royal and non-royal.

That is to say, except for members of the royal family, other officials, common people, or all classes are the same, and there is not much difference.

This kind of thinking gave Zhu Yuanzhang a feeling of enlightenment.

This seems to be able to better maintain the rule of Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Dasun's court and the Department of Public Security should be complementary to each other. Let's follow the path of the Department of Public Security and run it in Su and Song areas first, and then see how it works."

Zhu Ying replied: "Grandpa, now that the court is newly built, my grandson's idea is not to take this opportunity to abolish some tortures in the torture process. My grandson thinks these tortures are against the peace of heaven."

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with this, saying: "The common saying is reasonable. We have also read a lot of files. Many ministers do not follow the code of law. They wantonly use torture to extract confessions. That said, he is almost half useless."

"Let's abolish all punishments that harm the harmony of nature, such as tattooing, stabbing, slaying, castration, and so on."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying stood up and bowed, "Grandpa is like this, he must be appreciated and loved by the people of the world."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "We don't need you, grandson, to flatter you. Although we have already thought about it in our hearts, you, grandson, brought this up first. The people want to thank you, and thank you too."

Zhu Yingdao: "Grandpa, my grandson is not flattering, but I sincerely feel that Grandpa has done a great deed. Even if the common people are wronged in the future, after the truth comes to light, they will be able to return to their full health."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not say more about this, we will announce it tomorrow morning, but if we want to run the court, we must first improve the law."

"Since the matter of the law was proposed by Dasun, Dasun will be in charge. At that time, Dasun will have a good chat with Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and we will decide this matter together."

"After the Great Ming Law Code is established, there will be more ways for scholars to take the imperial examination in the future."

Zhu Ying had proposed the reform of the imperial examination earlier, and now it is time to implement it.

Zhu Yuanzhang has nothing to worry about. These reforms are currently not good or bad. Anyway, let’s do it first.

Naturally, a lot of support should be given to Dasun's idea.

By this time, Zhu Ying and the old man had already taken a walk and returned to Qianqing Palace.

After sitting down respectively, Liu He hurriedly made tea.

Zhu Ying pondered for a while, then continued to talk about the thoughts in her heart.

"Grandpa, for the current legal punishment, grandson wants to put aside the death penalty and exile, and focus on strengthening labor reform."

"Now that my grandson is running a factory, he needs a lot of workers, and the current wages are very high. This is also for the sake of giving the workers a relatively reasonable wage when others set up factories in the future."

"The grandson of the cell has also been there. It is simply not a place for people to stay, and these prisoners are locked in the cell and have to be fed."

"The grandson thought that instead of beheading his head or dying on the road to exile, it would be better to have more hard labor, such as a sentence of ten or eight years, and a sentence of 30 to [-] years would not be a problem."

"The factory run by my grandson also needs a large number of workers. Those who are sentenced to labor do not need to be paid wages. If food is in short supply, sweet potatoes are mixed with them, but it will save a lot of money."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very moved, especially the word saving.

As for thrift and thrift, this can be regarded as a point in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and it can also create treasures, which seems really good.

"Then Dasun will formulate a charter, and these specific implementations will also be included in the Great Ming Law Code."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed a little: "Actually, we have thought about hard labor before, but we feel that it is too simple to be sentenced to hard labor. Roads and bridges are built every year, and basically the corvee in the village is almost the same."

"Labor labor consumes energy and food. Now that Dasun can make him earn money, it would be great."

"Even if there are so many people in Daming, Dasun's five factories may not be enough."

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "Grandpa is thinking wrong. In the future, we will simply build a large prison in the outskirts of each prefecture, and in those remote places, and gather all the prisoners who have been sentenced to hard labor in the prefectures." stand up."

"In this way, each prison is a factory, and without much investment, the prisoners can build it themselves."

"Among the prison guards, you can also select some old masters to teach in the past. At that time, whether it is weaving, clothing, porcelain, tea planting, etc., you will have sources, and you can even add some other industries according to the local conditions. generate income."

"In this way, it not only reflects the grace of our great Ming, but also increases the internal budget by a lot every year. Wouldn't it be beautiful."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard Dasun's words.
