Chapter 153 Where are we going? (6K) (Ch 153)

In the Golden Palace.
It seems that Chen Huaixin is planning to transfer future crises to other small countries around him.
The chief academic officer of the Imperial College transformed himself into the Lord of Morality on the spot and constantly criticized Chen Huaixin.
However.
Even officials from aristocratic families.
No one bothered to agree with what he said.
because.
Even Chengguo has fallen to this level.
It still looks down on neighboring countries.
As for caring about the people of those small countries?
“We don’t even care about our own people.”
“Not to mention the people of those small countries who are no different from monkeys!”
“Are they worthy of our help?!”
This is what many officials thought.
And in the eyes of some officials, the approach taken by Chen Huaixin could even be regarded as that of a great philanthropist!
At least he will really try his best to take care of the people of Yu Country. As for the people of other countries, why bother about them!
“unless.”
“On a certain day.”
“Those small countries were annexed by Yuguo.”
“In this way, Chen Huaixin might take care of the people of those small countries.”
Wang Qianhe thought so in his heart.
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
Or say.
You don’t even care about your own people, but worry about the lives of people in other countries. That’s called going against the grain!
“but.”
“Chen Huaixin’s petition system.”
“And increase the status of lawyers.”
“Can the situation of wrongful convictions really be changed?!”
Wang Qianhe frowned.
He looked at Qu Wenduan. As the Minister of Justice of Chengguo, Qu Wenduan should be able to understand the profound meaning better than him, right?
Wang Qianhe was just thinking this.
He noticed it.
Qu Wenduan’s face seemed a little ugly.
It’s like hearing something bad!
This made Wang Qianhe understand immediately!
“It seems.”
“Chen Huaixin’s approach.”
“It can really improve the current situation.”
“Even if there is no cure.”
“But can Qu Wenduan show such an expression…”
Wang Qianhe smiled.
Of course he knows.
Qu Wenduan is very close to the aristocratic families.
This approach can weaken Qu Wenduan’s power, which can also indirectly reduce the power of the aristocratic families!
“As expected of Chen Huaixin!”
“Even if it’s just a temporary solution.”
“It can make my country’s Minister of Justice so embarrassed!”
Wang Qianhe’s face was full of smiles.
Qu Wenduan’s face looked very ugly.
He looked at the Mirror of Heaven and wished he could curse Chen Huaixin to death!
“Whether it’s a petition.”
“It’s still the lawyer.”
“Its essence is to increase supervision and inspection!”
“For the government.”
“It’s like adding two pairs of shackles!”
Qu Wenduan thought in his heart.
Of course, he could see what the purpose of these two arrangements was. They increased the intensity of supervision, so if they wanted to force a confession under torture, the cost and consequences would increase a lot!
It’s not that I can’t do it anymore.
But whether it is worth doing!
“but.”
“These two shackles.”
“It will only be useful in Yuguo.”
“In my Cheng Junior High School… hehe.”
Qu Wenduan breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it is the petition system or improving the status of lawyers, the key is that the law must be perfected, so as to truly ensure that the rights and interests of the people are protected, and its rulers must uphold the fairness of the law, rather than for the sake of (cannot write).
Yuguo was able to do it because both the law and Chen Huaixin’s attitude perfectly met these two conditions.
And in Chengguo, if someone tried to talk to him about the law, he would find it funny!
“But even so.”
“It will still make it possible for us to be noticed by His Majesty!”
“This Chen Huaixin… must not be allowed to enter the court!”
…
[Same month.]
[The Minister of Justice is busy with petitions, lawyers, and commercial law.]
【”and.”】
【“I also need to share some news.”】
[“First disclose it in the newspaper in advance.”]
[“We need to prepare the people mentally.”]
[The Minister of Justice rubbed his head.]
[There is no such thing as the public’s right to know.]
【And this method. 】
【He learned this from Chen Huaixin.】
[Some things that may conflict with the current situation or may bring about changes, tell the people where they can be revealed, and then observe their reactions! ]
【”in this way.”】
[“The hidden dangers can be limited to a certain range.”]
[“It can also reduce the impact of such things!”]
[The Minister of Justice thought so.]
【When he disclosed the petition and the lawyer a little bit. 】
[It was not the common people who reacted first.]
【It was the officials from all over the country who first saw the newspaper! 】
[“Is the court dissatisfied with us?”]
【“Change direct appeal to the petition system.”】
[“We also intend to give lawyers the opportunity to enter the court.”]
[“This…isn’t this asking the people and lawyers to supervise us?!”]
[Some officials looked unhappy.]
【Although.】
【They think so.】
【I have not done anything against my conscience.】
[However, at the end of each year, the crime solving rate required by the performance evaluation law has not been met, so they can only find those hooligans who have bad behavior or have a record of violating the law, and after friendly communication, let those people voluntarily admit that they did something! ]
[“They usually do a lot of evil anyway.”]
[“Even if they admit more crimes.”]
[“This is also to eliminate harm for the people!”]
【They feel they have done nothing wrong! 】
【But now. 】
[The court revealed this news in the newspaper.]
[Basically, it was telling them that if they continued to take this approach, they would most likely be reported to the public, or even to the Ministry of Justice by the lawyers!]
[In that case, no matter how many reasons they have, they will probably still be imprisoned! ]
【Thinking of this. 】
[Their dissatisfaction increased a bit.]
“That’s how it’s always been done.”
[“We also did not torture innocent people into confessing.”]
[“Why should I go to jail just because of this?!”]
[They thought about how to deal with it.]
【soon.】
【An idea came into their minds.】
[“Since the cases required to be recorded must have a clearance rate that meets the standards.”]
【“As long as there is no case.”】
【“Then just reduce the crime rate.”】
[“So we don’t have to worry about this anymore?!”]
[The officials’ eyes suddenly brightened.]
【As for how to reduce the crime rate. 】
[That’s certainly not a way to solve the case.]
[As long as it is not registered and recorded, doesn’t it mean that no case has occurred? ]
[“We are geniuses!”]
【certainly.】
[Except for this small group of officials.]
[Many officials were indifferent to the news.]
【even.】
[Some even feel happy! ]
[Because they work diligently on a daily basis, they don’t worry about being reported or abusing their power. They only worry that their efforts are not noticed by the court! ]
[“While this may seem like increased supervision, it also gives us a chance to perform!”]
“As long as we do better, as long as we can keep it up.”
[“The imperial court cannot fail to reward meritorious service!”]
【These officials are looking forward to it.】
【When the news spread to the people. 】
[Many lawyers were immediately overjoyed! ]
【Because of the perfection of Yuguo’s laws. 】
[Their social status today is actually only slightly higher than in the previous dynasty, but not much higher.]
[After all, in the eyes of many people, they make a living by talking, and sometimes they are sentenced to heavier penalties due to their lack of ability, which naturally makes many people look down on them.]
[Even those extremely capable lawyers can only get by because the people have no awareness of litigation! ]
【”and.”】
【“It’s because.”】
[“Yuguo is rich and powerful.”]
“Otherwise we want to have the standard of living we have now.”
[“This is just wishful thinking!”]
[That extremely capable lawyer thanked Yuguo and His Majesty in his heart more than once for allowing him to live such a life. ]
[Today, he had originally planned to go around the government office after breakfast to see if there were any people who needed a lawyer, just like what he usually did.]
【but.】
[Before he left the house.]
[His son then took out a court newspaper and excitedly told him that the court was going to improve the current situation of lawyers, and that if a lawyer was very capable, he or she might even be able to serve as an official in the court!]
【Hearing this.】
[The lawyer was completely stunned.]
[He snatched the newspaper and read it carefully.]
[His face was suddenly filled with joy, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes: “After so many years! Finally, someone recognizes us lawyers! Long live His Majesty! Long live! Long live!!!”]
[“We… must not let the court down!”]
[There are many lawyers who lose their composure like him. ]
[Their long-standing low status has made them accept that they will be looked down upon at any time.]
[And now the news revealed by the court has made them so excited that they are going crazy! ]
[Some people even went so far as to build a shrine for His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty could really live a hundred years, or even better, be immortal!]
【”otherwise.”】
[“Just worship Your Majesty as the ancestor of lawyers.”]
[“It allows Yuguo to have such a perfect law, and also improves the status of us lawyers.”]
[“Call him ancestor…”]
[“This is absolutely not an exaggeration!”]
…
“It seems.”
“Even in the country of Yu, where the laws are perfect.”
“Even if there is the influence of the performance evaluation system.”
“There will still be officials who will do whatever it takes to exploit loopholes to profit for themselves!”
Looking at the deduced scene, Wang Qianhe shook his head.
He naturally thought of the excitement of those lawyers.
After all, one’s social status will be improved, and there is a possibility of becoming an official in the court. No matter who it is, they will surely be extremely happy.
However, the actions of a small number of Yu State officials made him look a little colder.
In his opinion.
Chen Huaixin’s management of Yu State and supervision of officials are already very complete.
But in this case.
There are still a lot of termites coming out!
“That’s all I can say.”
“This has nothing to do with any country or any political system.”
“This is just because of personal selfishness!”
Wang Qianhe took a deep breath.
The Sixth Princess Ji Changwei was also very angry when she saw this scene.
Obviously, her future husband has been treated fairly well by the officials, but there are still guys like this!
“I will remember them!”
“Later.”
“Kill them one by one!”
Ji Changwei wrinkled her nose.
She was carefully recording the faces of those people.
But Ji Changning, who was standing next to him, shook his head and said, “Sixth sister, there is no solution to this problem. Killing these people is useless because as long as people are needed to govern the country, this kind of thing will inevitably happen!”
“Even Chen Huaixin can only reduce the occurrence of this situation, but it is impossible to completely cure it!”
Ji Changning was very clear about this.
Unless Chen Huaixin can control the thinking of these people, it is absolutely impossible to make all officials devote themselves to the country and be positive and progressive. Some of them are bound to be derelict in their duties and some are bound to take advantage of loopholes.
But as long as most officials can work hard for the country, it will be enough to keep its upward momentum and allow it to continue to prosper!
“As for those vermin.”
“Crush it to death upon discovery.”
“That’s the only way.”
Ji Changning sighed.
Ji Changwei pouted.
But Ji Changxi, who was standing next to them, suddenly had an idea.
“As long as people govern the country, this kind of thing will happen, but what if it’s not people?”
“Not a human? Then who governs the country? Who handles matters? It can’t be those steam engines of yours, Fourth Princess.”
Ji Changling also spoke at this time.
Regarding the surprising ideas that the fourth princess has from time to time.
They are now slowly beginning to accept it.
“Although.”
“That idea.”
“Even more shocking than before!”
…
【August, the twelfth year of Jingping.】
【It took three months.】
[The military academy of the Minister of War is finally completed. ]
[The Minister of Industry was able to breathe a sigh of relief.]
[“If it weren’t for those soldiers.”]
【“This amount of time.”】
[“It’s really hard to build a military academy.”]
[“If this happens again next time.”]
[“You must tell me clearly at least half a year in advance!”]
[The Minister of Industry stared at the Minister of War fiercely.]
If it weren’t for the help of cement.
【It can solidify quickly.】
[This military academy can probably only be built halfway! ]
【The Minister of War smiled awkwardly, not daring to say anything in rebuttal.】
[However, for those soldiers who participated in the construction, he planned to arrange them to the production and construction army on the grassland. The abilities trained in the Ministry of Industry should not be wasted! ]
[“I’m afraid those soldiers will hate you to death!”]
[“I will give them and their families adequate treatment!”]
[The Minister of War said this with great confidence.]
[He applied for this from Chen Huaixin.]
【after all.】
[It can’t be that only officials can bring their families with them, and that they can also arrange jobs for their families and slightly lower the admission requirements for their children! ]
[“If the soldiers knew about this, their morale would collapse. Even a new position in the army would not be able to restore their morale!”]
【The Minister of War said this at the time. 】
【Chen Huaixin naturally did not reject him.】
【because.】
【The production and construction army of the grassland. 】
【Originally, it includes family members. 】
[Even these family members can play a big role! ]
[“In a place like the grassland.”]
[“The more people there are, the better.”]
【”in this way.”】
【“Only then can we develop and produce better!”】
[The Minister of War did not expect that His Majesty would agree so readily.]
[He had prepared many words of persuasion, but in the end he only had one sentence left: Your Majesty is wise.]
[“His Majesty should have thought about this long ago, and was just waiting for you to tell him. Otherwise, your role as a minister will only be to cheer for him,” the Minister of Industry said with a hint of joking after hearing about this.]
[The Minister of War snorted coldly and said, “You are right. Those farms that were handed over to you from the merchants were ultimately decided by your Majesty. You didn’t know what to do, didn’t you?”]
[What he was talking about was that after those public-private joint-venture farms were handed over to the imperial court, they naturally could not be operated as before, because the cost of breeding was too high, and it was difficult to reduce the cost and sell it to the people at a low price! ]
[But the Minister of Industry did not feel ashamed at all, but was rather smug, which made the Minister of War even more angry.]
【When the two were arguing. 】
[The news about the military academy’s enrollment spread all over Yu Country.]
【I don’t know though.】
【Why did the imperial court expand its military? 】
[Even though that number is still not that many. ]
[But it also makes many people excited! ]
[“If I can enter the military academy, my future will definitely be bright!”]
[“The treatment of our Yu army is obvious to all, and we are invincible in external battles!”]
[“I just don’t know how strict the admissions will be. After all, this is the first time, so there will definitely be a lot of people trying, right?”]
[“After three or four years, when I am old enough, should I apply to a military academy or a university? It is such a worrying matter!”]
[“You? Applying to a military academy? Applying to a university? Just go to bed! Dreams can bring you anything!”]
【“…”】
[The people were talking about it.]
【Especially.】
【There is a research and technical school in front. 】
【Everyone knows.】
[The first batch of graduates from this newly built military academy will definitely receive huge dividends! ]
[Even some men who are interested in the martial arts examination and want to win the title of martial arts champion are also thinking about whether to join the army or enter the military academy to continue their studies after passing the imperial examination! ]
[“Is this even worth thinking about?”]
[“The court has already announced it.”]
【“All those who passed the martial arts examination.”】
[“All of them must study in military academies.”]
[“Your Majesty doesn’t want a reckless man who is brave but not wise!”]
【Someone reminded me of this.】
[This immediately made more people understand. ]
[Military academies are like schools. Passing the imperial examination is one of the ways to enter, and it may also be the best way to enter! ]
[Because the entrance exam questions of that school, in the eyes of many people, are simply not something that a normal person can answer! ]
【“And this time, the martial arts exam.”】
[“This will definitely be the most difficult one!”]
【Some people think so. 】
【And wait until the day of the martial arts examination. 】
[Everyone in the streets and alleys of Chang’an City was discussing this matter.]
[When I saw that the archery that had won first place in previous years was not even in the top ten this time. ]
[The discussion among the people was extremely heated.]
[When this news reached Chen Huaixin’s ears. ]
[Even his face showed a hint of surprise.]
【“It seems.”】
[“In addition to the constant emergence of new talents in the literary world.”]
[“That martial spirit.”]
[“It also allowed many gifted people to emerge.”]
【Chen Huaixin smiled very happily. 】
[Whether it is civil or military, there are many talented people, which is also a sign of the country’s prosperity. ]
[The Minister of War also smiled happily: “Twenty or thirty years later, these young people will be able to take over our positions. The Yu Kingdom… will have no worries about successors!”]
[“Another twenty or thirty years? I’m afraid you’ll be lying in a coffin in less than ten years. By then, I’ll go to your grave and have a drink with you,” the Minister of Industry said jokingly.]
【However, none of the ministers present took up the conversation. 】
[Because they all know that their bodies can only last another ten years at best, and after that it will be time for a new group of people to take over their positions.]
[It has been almost twenty years since the deserted village outside Yuanju County was transformed into the prosperous Yu Kingdom today. ]
[Even though they still look energetic, they can still feel that time is taking away their life.]
[Maybe one day when I close my eyes, I will never wake up again. ]
【And Chen Huaixin, who was sitting at the top, also sighed helplessly. Whether it was the Prime Minister or the six ministers, they were not young when they took office. 】
[They have been working hard for Yuguo for so many years because they have placed their lives on this new country. 】
[The Yu Kingdom is thriving, and their hearts can continue to beat. 】
【but……】
【Time is so cruel. 】
[Even his face is marked by the traces of time.]
[“Let’s not talk about this anymore.”]
[“It seems like we, the king and his subjects, haven’t had a drink in a long time.”]
【“Tonight.”】
[“It’s right here in this hall.”]
【“Have another drink!”】
【Chen Huaixin spoke.】
【The ministers were all smiling. 】
【And when drunk. 】
[The Minister of War, under the candlelight, seemed to have forgotten the distinction between the monarch and his subjects. He came up to Chen Huaixin and said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. Before we go to war with Rome, I will never go first!”]
[“If I cannot personally lead the army to fight against a country that provokes my Dayu and attempts to invade my Dayu, I will be defeated.”]
[“Even if I die, I will never accept this!”]
[The Minister of War looked very drunk, but his eyes were still clear and serious.]
【Chen Huaixin also nodded heavily.】
【“When the time comes.”】
[“I will let you lead the troops yourself.”]
[“Go and defeat the invading enemy!”]
…
[Same month.]
[Above the vast ocean. ]
[A Taoist priest who has been at sea for more than a year. 】
[Looking at the completely unfamiliar continent in front of me. ]
[Their faces were filled with confusion.]
【“What is this for us?”】
