Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 140 Zhu Yuanzhang Meets Professor Luo
afternoon.

After today, Zhu Yuanzhang will leave Lingnan.

During the meal, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xi said: "In the past two days, all the officials have seen a lot of things in the university, and they are all full of praise when they come back. I remember... Well, I heard that there is a person below you, no. Judiciary, who is familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty and is responsible for all punishments in Lingnan, is there really such a person?"

After staying in Panyu Mansion for a few days, before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help himself and exposed one of his little thoughts.

He wanted to meet Justice Law.

Naturally, Zhu Xi would not refuse such a request.

Of course, it also depends on what Luo Juji means.

But Luo Fafa is a professor and scholar.

He did not refuse Zhu Yuanzhang's interview.

Zhu Xi was still a little worried, so he reminded him: "My father has a bad temper. Professor Luo, please be careful in your words and deeds. However, I will also accompany Professor Luo and I will definitely take good care of Professor Luo."

"Haha, it's okay."

Professor Luo smiled with an open expression.

In the Xinde Hall of Prince Qin's Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the upper sofa and saw Luo Juzhi.

Of course, there is Zhu Xi.

The two of them met together.

"No gift."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Luo Judi, he had a rare gentle attitude and said: "I heard that in just one year, there was no barbarian in Lingnan, and everyone knew etiquette and abided by the law. The sea, rivers and rivers in Lingnan are completely pure. It’s all a credit to you!”

"The emperor praised it absurdly."

Professor Luo quickly said: "Actually, it is also thanks to His Highness the King of Qin that he is willing to delegate power, fully trusts and supports you. Your Majesty, Cao Min is just a scholar, and he also maintains a humble and rigorous attitude towards the Ming Dynasty. But what Cao Min knows is not limited to the Ming Dynasty. law."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!" Zhu Yuanzhang became interested.

What exactly is the foundation of a country?
Some people say that he is the emperor, and the country cannot live without a king!

It was also said to be the prince.

Since ancient times, the East Palace has been the foundation of the country.

The king of Qin conquered Liuhe, and the princes came from the west to force Qin to dominate the world!
But it was because the First Emperor did not establish a prince until his death, that villains like Zhao Gao and Li Si found a loophole and supported Hu Hai to take the throne, and thus the second generation died.

But in fact, in the eyes of the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the foundation of a country is the code of law that governs the people.

Why do you say this way?
Shang has "Tang Xing".

As soon as the state of Zhou was established, Zhou Gongdan would formulate the "Rites of Zhou".

why?
Because a country cannot stand without help.

If you don’t have a clear law, you can’t restrain anyone, and the country will be in disarray.

There is no difference between having an emperor and not having an emperor.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang himself participated in the formulation of the Ming Law.

This is something he is quite proud of.

Now that I heard that the laws Professor Luo studied were not limited to the Ming Dynasty Law, I wanted to know what he had learned.

"The Emperor also knows that there are many countries in Southeast Asia and the West, and the existing or ancient laws and codes recorded in these countries are currently taught in the universities where Cao Min is located. Cao Min has now resigned from the official position of His Highness King Qin and concentrates on helping His Highness train Such talents combine the ancient and modern laws and codes of various countries to jointly deliberate and discuss legal science."

At this point, Professor Luo paused and stopped talking.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you continue?" "Your Majesty, the common people are afraid that your Majesty will disapprove of what you say next." Professor Luo was very candid.

This is the style of a scholar.

If you have something to say, just say it.

"Speak!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Xi and said with a smile: "You are from the King of Qin. He is here. No matter what you say, I will not blame you in any way."

Professor Luo also glanced at Zhu Xi, and when he saw Zhu Xi nodded, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, ordinary people think that the existing laws of the Ming Dynasty have several shortcomings. First, they are not flexible enough; second, It is not standardized enough; thirdly, it is not general enough; fourthly, it cannot be flexible; fifthly, its duties and powers are unclear."

"what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this.

It was almost a crime!
This was a punishment that he personally participated in formulating.

However, in Professor Luo's opinion, there are so many loopholes?
These five major loopholes are equivalent to completely denying the Ming Law!
How could he not be shocked?
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that there might be imperfections in the Great Ming law. The law cannot be perfect, and there are always imperfections, so he came to Professor Luo to have this conversation.

However, these five points proposed by Professor Luo seemed to give him a punch.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had been hit where it hurt.

So, his reaction was huge.

Zhu Xi hurriedly said: "Father, please calm down. Professor Luo is a scholar. He knows everything he knows, and he has something to say. Please listen to what he has to say."

"Okay, tell me carefully!" Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously unhappy.

However, Professor Luo talked eloquently, because this was his major, and he was the kind of person who would not feel sleepy when talking and could not stop. He said loudly: "First of all, the crimes in the Ming Dynasty Law, except for the unpardonable crimes, Except for this, there is no clear number of years. A rough number of years should be set and flexibility should be ensured. In addition, the exile should be jailed, or 're-education through labor'!"

"What is reform through labor?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand.

Zhu Xi then helped explain: "Father, this is the method that I came up with. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, some prisoners need to be exiled, but they are not imprisoned. In fact, others are still free. This is considered a good idea for the prisoners. What kind of punishment? So Erchen changed all the prisons in Lingnan into factory-type prisons, locked these prisoners in them, and had to work every day. And the income from their work belonged to the Qin Palace. In this way, The son-in-law also has money to support them to eat and drink."

"This is what reform through labor means!" Professor Luo summarized what Zhu Ping said.

Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded.

Is that okay?

He was lost in thought.

In the early Ming Dynasty, during the Hongwu period, there were many large prisons.

There are too many prisoners in the prison, which is also a very headache.

In ancient times, it was not without precedents for prisoners to do coolies, but due to limitations, they often did things like digging mountains. Whereas Zhu Yu directly turned the prison into a factory and let the prisoners step on the machine. And can you make a lot of money?

"They are all prisoners, why are they doing this?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

What I mean is, these are all people who have committed crimes, why should we be so nice to them?
"There is nothing good about being able to change after passing by!"

Professor Luo summed it up in one sentence and added: "Moreover, we must let the people see that they have the opportunity to correct themselves after making small mistakes, so as to prevent them from taking risks and making bigger mistakes. For example, a person , he only stole one or two pieces of silver, but because he was afraid of the law, he did not dare to go to jail. He was afraid of going to jail for the rest of his life, so he took the risk and stole more silver. He even thought that he was already guilty of a serious crime, so he might as well just kill someone... …”

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.

Because, he found that what Professor Luo said was right.
