Great Leaving the Night's Watch

Chapter 171 The Night Watchman, the Supervisory Authority of the Executive Council!Change the law and reform the system!
The food crisis has been solved, and the common people will not flee when they have food to eat, and everyone is grateful for the kindness of the new king.

Moreover, the stored grain can last until the autumn harvest, Shi Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Bin feasted his officials in Weiyang Palace.

In order to please the new king, those old elders, those who came to power through flattery, first touted Shi Bin's achievements in public, and then invited him to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.

These guys don't even know where Mount Tai is.

Not to mention that the place is now occupied by Liang Guo.

Xiao Fei ridiculed this ungrounded old minister of the Lu family in public:
"Does your lord want the emperor to enshrine Zen on the territory of Liang State?"

It caused everyone to laugh.

Xiao Fei, like Shi Bin, is a practical man and hates these flashy people.

But what matters in politics is coordination.

Lu's old ministers can't be removed without leaving one.

Otherwise, there will not be enough people working.

Seeing his embarrassment being ridiculed by everyone, Shi Bin smiled wryly and shook his head, ignoring him.

The old ruling order must be reformed.

It is the best time to take advantage of the recuperation period.

After the banquet, Shi Bin only left Xiao Fei.

Because there are some things that can only be said with an expert.

The monarch and his ministers stayed up all night and chatted for a long time.

Shi Bin opened the topic first: "Xiao Qing, in the old system, the judiciary was controlled by the superiors, and even the salary was controlled by the superiors.
The government issued it to him, so it is impossible to protect each other without officials and officials, without confusing black and white. "

Xiao Fei responded: "Then kill, how many people who pervert the law, how many people who pervert the law are killed!"

Shi Bin shook his head and said: "If you can't kill them all, kill this batch and use another batch, it's still the same."

Xiao Fei pondered and said: "The emperor is right. Then, there is nothing to do? How can we stop this kind of thing? Prevent them from uniting to harm the common people?"

Shi Bin said: "The old system must be reformed."

Xiao Fei: "The old system of thousands of years is hard to change. How can we change it?"

Shi Bin: "Start with the night watchman. The image of the night watchman has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it will be easy to handle.
It is allowed to recruit night watchmen and night watch servants from the people, and children of aristocratic families are not allowed to take up this position.Make sure they have no conflict of interest with anyone. "

"In addition, the night watchman directly belongs to me, is under my jurisdiction, and is responsible to me! I will support him enough to make him rich in food and clothing. If he dares to accept bribes, he will be severely punished! If he dares to form a clique for personal gain, I will punish him with the law!"

Xiao Fei said: "There is no problem with that. The night watchmen are all selected by His Majesty to be of outstanding character, and His Majesty's rewards are also generous, so that they have no worries."

Shi Bin said: "All their expenses will be paid directly by me. Not only will I give them food and clothing, but I will also give them honor and status. This will ensure that they will not protect each other with any local officials, and there is no need to go to Wade in any muddy water, let alone get involved with these rotten people."

Xiao Fei added: "If he is married to a daughter of an aristocratic family or an official's family, he is not allowed to serve as a night watchman here."

Xiao Fei has a high level of comprehension.

Shi Bin agrees with this.

"You're right. If you have an in-law relationship, you must avoid suspicion. Keep them far away."

In ancient times, there was no Internet or telephone, so it was inconvenient to contact, and it was much slower to rely on messengers alone.

If you are far away, it will be difficult to form a party for personal gain and fill your pockets.

In the precepts of the night watchman, it is not allowed to do business, and it is not allowed to intervene in any business.

His family members are also not allowed to do business.

Otherwise, if he just touches the edge, he will inevitably fall into interest disputes, and villains will bribe him.

Now Shi Bin and Xiao Fei have to continue to perfect the precepts.

Xiao Fei is so smart, listening to Shi Bin talk about the advanced system in the 21st century, he is still tired and hard to accept.

Because it's just too aggressive.

According to the current "Great Li Law", taking the county as an example, the county magistrate is in charge of everything.

Get on the horse to manage the army, and get off the horse to manage the people.

In charge of money and food collection, he also manages the trial of cases.It is also up to him to investigate the case.

In addition, he has to greet and send off, receive officials from other counties, and for his own future, he has to manage Shangguan.

If he had Di Renjie's ability and character, he would naturally be able to handle everything in an orderly manner.

But so much work is too tiring.

The county magistrate is also a human being and wants to rest.

Ordinary people still don't want to live the life of 997, let alone a county parent official.

When worshiping in the imperial city, the county magistrate is naturally not even a fart.

But when it comes to his one-acre three-point land, the sky is the first, and he is the second.

After earning enough money, he also wants to have sex with beautiful women.

Also arrange for your own family to enjoy the blessings.

It would be even better if you can ignore political affairs and drink and sleep every day.

So he distributed the work in his hands to the master and his subordinates to do it.

In this way, it is not surprising that the county has become a mess.

According to Shi Bin's reform plan, the county magistrate should not even think about this kind of life.

His burden will be lighter, but he will have no chance to blatantly embezzle.

According to Shi Bin's structure, the county magistrate is only in charge of civil affairs.

Justice is done by professional judges.

Scouting is also done by professional headhunters.

And the most important thing is to increase the power of supervision and inspection.

This most important power rests with the Night's Watch and their servants of the Night's Watch.

Supervisors have the right to attend and supervise the entire trial process.

If it is found that the application of the law is wrong, or the procedure is wrong, or the judgment of the case is unfair, it has the right to correct it in court and ask the judicial personnel to change the case to retry the case.

Supervisors also have the power to supervise the implementation of civil government orders.

You can even monitor whether the county magistrate himself is corrupt!
If you bend the law for personal gain, the three venerables have the right to kill first and play later!

If the criminal refuses to accept the arrest and dares to attack the night watchman, the night watchman can kill him on the spot.

Except for killing people while fighting criminals, the servants of the night watch cannot directly kill people on other occasions. They need to report to the chief, or catch criminals and hand them over to their chiefs.

Judicial and investigative powers, like supervisory powers, are independent of the government.

That is to say, they are independent organizations, responsible only to the emperor, and allocated funds directly by the emperor.

They are not under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate anywhere, especially financially!
If the county magistrate pays them wages, they must be in a position of relying on others!

Never let go!It is inevitable to lose sight of the other when doing things.

The government asked him to handle an unjust case, but he dared not refuse to listen.

The new law will be implemented in Chang'an first, and if there are any disadvantages, it will be amended immediately.

If it is obviously easy to use, it will be implemented nationwide.

From ancient times to the present, legal reform has always been a difficult task, because it will inevitably touch the interests of the conservatives.

So whether it is Wang Anshi or Shang Yang, if they want to reform, they will either fail or die tragically.

But Da Lichao has no such concerns.

Because Shi Bin is the emperor.

Standing at the pinnacle of power, no one can touch him.

His words are the imperial decree that promises everything, and everyone must obey it.

Following an imperial decree, Chang'an City established the Judicial Office, the Investigation Office, and the Night Watchman's own agency, the Supervision Office.

The prefect of Chang'an is not qualified to intervene in the affairs of these three divisions.

The chief of the third division is also not allowed to communicate with the prefect of Chang'an or any officials.

All counties in Chang'an have also set up lower-level third divisions.

From this point on, the three divisions split.

The legislative power is exercised by the emperor himself.

Shi Bin summoned all those who are proficient in legal knowledge in Chang'an to revise the "Law of Great Liberation".

In March, the new law was completed.

Xiao Fei happily held the newly revised law book and said to Shi Bin: "Your Majesty, please personally lead the judicial power in the future!"

"No." Shi Bin shook his head.

Xiao Fei was puzzled: "Why? The laws promulgated by His Majesty himself, shouldn't His Majesty personally take charge of the judicial power?"

"One of the most important principles of governing a country by law is that legislators cannot administer justice! Otherwise, there will be injustice!" Shi Bin explained.

Xiao Fei was confused.

He was smart all his life, but it is impossible for him to comprehend the essence of law in later generations.

"It means that the law is formulated by me, so it must not be judged by me! Otherwise, I can interpret the law at will. As long as I am happy, I can make any case cover up an illegal purpose in a legal form!"

Xiao Fei suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, you are so clever!"

It's hard to praise someone who makes him so proud.

But at this moment, he refuses to accept it, because the essence of advanced legal knowledge of later generations is enough to crush him for 800 years.

He also understood from the bottom of his heart the emperor's determination to rule the country according to the law.

In order to govern the country well, and to make Dali prosperous and strong, the emperor is willing to disperse his power!
How many emperors in history can have such understanding?
It's all monopolizing power. Li Shimin's IQ is too high, of course he can handle it well.

As for other people, I am afraid that they can only become more and more chaotic like Emperor Sui Yang and Empress Li.

But Shi Bin is different. He divides power in order to collect the wisdom of the world's talents and use it for him!
The wisdom of all people is of course better than the wisdom of one person!
Sure enough, Shi Bin, the highest level of justice, chose an old official who was most proficient in the law in Dali Dynasty.

This person was upright, but he was squeezed out by treacherous officials repeatedly. It was not until he met the new king that he was able to flex his muscles and spit out his words.

Unhappy in the chest.

The Chief Inspector is held by Di Gong, and he is also considered to be doing his job well.

Among the villains in the world, there is no one who is not afraid of Duke Di.

I don't know Di Gong, but I also know the magic sniper in his hand.

The chief investigator is Wang Hao.

This kid is stubborn, but his character is really good.

The prefect of Chang'an only dealt with civil affairs.

Even the power of public administration has been stripped away, and the head of the newly established administrative department is Guo Jing.

This power is very broad, such as taxation, etc., all belong to this.

Guo Jing is a generous elder, so he is suitable for this position.

The prefect and the county magistrate only deal with civil affairs, and the burden is much lighter. If they can't manage the people well, implement benevolent government, and let the people live a peaceful life, then they really deserve to die.

There is enough food. In order to let the people recuperate, Shi Bin has already ordered a tax cut for the third time.

Reduced to thirty tax one.

Under the low tax policy of the emperor, if anyone can force the ordinary people to die, there is no need to explain, just hold your head and talk to Mr. Di's gun.

The New Deal has been implemented for half a year, and Chang'an is in great order, and the people are happy.

Letters from all over the country demanded that the emperor implement the New Deal.

The chief who took the initiative to write a letter was praised by the emperor.

The chief who did not take the initiative to submit a letter was publicly reprimanded by the emperor, seized the official title, demoted him to the common people.

This group of people are full of regrets. If they had known earlier, they might as well support the New Deal quickly.
