Chapter 84: Murder still needs to be punished?

Hao Cunzhong's incident once caused controversy in the court.

The facts are all there, the evidence is conclusive, and he admits everything he committed. The Ministry of Justice did not take much effort to try the case.

What is controversial is how to finalize it.

There are three opinions in total.

One is that in this incident, only two people died. Although Luo Ning and his friend, Hao Cunzhong, were the masterminds, did not directly kill anyone, so the murderer Hao Zijian could be sentenced to death, and Hao Cunzhong was sentenced to imprisonment for the crime of misunderstanding.

Those who hold this view are Wu Bing, Lu Daqi, Yang Qiaoran and others.

One is that Hao Cunzhong violated military discipline in the past, causing Yang Guodong and thousands of soldiers to die and die in the country, and the whole province was lost, which was a big deal. Later, he did not report the hidden information and tried to escape. After learning that someone still knew about the information, he became interested in killing people and destroying the traces. The more hateful ones actually had the evil intention of slaughtering the village and abandoning the market to serve as a warning.

Those who hold this view were led by Chen Zizhuang, the Minister of War, and Qu Shisi, Chen Bangyan, and Huang Zongxi, who were deputy to him. The military bosses such as Li Dingguo, Li Chengdong, Zhang Jiayu, and Shi Lang all submitted memorials to ask for a serious punishment.

As Yang Guodong's son, Yang Changjiang also submitted a memorandum and demanded severe punishment.

The third view is that Hao Cunzhong violated military discipline and assassination of Luo Ning is indisputable, but the slaughter of the village was only action and did not cause any substantial consequences. Moreover, Luo Ning's surrender was not good, and there seemed to be something to be forgiven. Moreover, since his return to the Ming Dynasty, he has made great achievements in military achievements, and "a thousand troops are easy to get a general but hard to find." He believed that he should be sent to the army to serve, and he would be punished for his crimes.

There are only two people who hold this view: Chen Jitai, Chen Zhongwu and his son.

Zhu Youlang read the memorials he wrote to everyone and knew it.

Wu Bing and others based on the facts of crime. If something like Tucun does not have any evil consequences, it should not be used as a basis for final judgment.

Of course there is a difference between attempted murder and death.

People like Chen Zizhuang hated Hao Cunzhong for vicious thoughts, while those in the army hated Hao Cunzhong for violating military discipline, and each had its own focus.

What made Zhu Youlang the most angry was the father and son of the Chen family. The father and the father were just a fucking couple!

Just for a few hundred kilograms of tea, I want to be someone else's protective umbrella? You discussed it with Chen Bowen before submitting the memorial. Will he make you so blind?

The village slaughtered the safety of the sage. Although there were no evil consequences, it did happen. If Zhu Youlang had not responded in time, it would be hard to say what consequences would have happened.

In such a serious incident, do you two still plead for them?

It was getting more and more inflated, and it was simply. Especially after Chen Jiaoxi gave birth to a son, the two of them seemed to have begun to win over all forces.

Do you two want to become a force?

Zhu Youlang felt angry and funny, so he brought his father and father into the palace and scolded him fiercely.

Chen Jitai and Chen Zhongwu were both honest and knelt on the ground honestly and listened to Zhu Youlang scolding and scolding him, but he just didn't say anything.

Zhu Youlang cursed until he got angry, and then he ordered the two of them to leave the palace.

The two of them left in shame.

Finally, Zhu Youlang wrote eight words on the memorial of the Ministry of Justice: "Killing people to kill their hearts, to serve as a warning to others."

With these eight words, Hao Cunzhong's life has come to an end.

...

This is what Chen Bangyan refers to.

What he meant was that the Chen family’s father and son were very dishonest now. There was a concubine in the palace, and the father and son all occupied important positions. If Chen Ji was allowed to become the president, wouldn’t it be even more difficult to cure? Will the Chen family have the intention of indulging their nephews to seize the position of crown prince in the future?

Zhu Youlang thought about what Chen Bangyan was worried about, but he was not worried at all.

He said to Chen Bangyan: "It's okay, Ling Bin, you think too much. Whoever is suitable for the position of president is the one who does it, don't think too much."

Chen Bangyan was so impressed by Zhu Youlang that he was so proud that he saw that his reminder was still calm. He knew that the emperor had already figured out his mind, so he didn't say more.

After careful consideration, Zhu Youlang finally followed Chen Bangyan's advice and appointed Wang Huaping as the president of the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty.

For nothing else, it is mainly because Wang Huaping reads a little more, which is more cultural than Chen Laosan.

After confirming the candidate, Zhu Youlang issued an order to bring Song Yingxing and Wang Huaping Xuan to discuss with them about the establishment of a bank.

"Chang Geng, I remember that there seems to be records of papermaking in "The Creation of Things in Heaven". I wonder if you have any papermaking craftsmen under you?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"When you go to Your Majesty, folk papermaking technology is actually very mature. Whether it is to make paper with grass, straw, bamboo, hemp, silk, and silk, there are mature techniques. I wonder what kind of paper your Majesty needs to make?"

"Chang Geng, I want to make yarn paper. This kind of paper must be different from other papers. It is not only tough, but also hard and wear-resistant. It is best if the folk workshop cannot imitate it. I wonder if there is a cotton wool papermaking process?" Zhu Youlang said.

He remembered that the money papers in later generations were made of cotton wool.

"When you go back to your majesty, I have never heard of this craft. However, I have several paper craftsmen under my command, so I can try it. Anyway, the crafts are similar, so it should not be difficult." Song Yingxing said.

"Okay. Try it quickly. If the test is successful, the court can issue paper yarn instead of gold and silver circulation."

"Yes, I obey the order." Song Yingxing bowed to receive the order.

Zhu Youlang ordered Song Yingxing to go down and then talked about banking business to Wang Huaping.

"Huaping, there are two banking business, one is depositing the bank and the other is loan. Deposit the bank can generate interest, and the annual interest rate is tentatively set to be 3%. Loans naturally also have interest, tentatively set to 5%. When making a loan, you must find out the lender's background to see if he uses the bank for the right way, whether he has the ability to repay, etc."

"In addition, try the waters in Nanjing first. If it succeeds, you can establish branches in various provinces, prefectures, prefectures and counties."

Zhu Youlang generally explained the bank's business and development prospects.

Wang Huaping stumbled for a while and said, "Your Majesty, although I have been doing business, I have never done a money shop business. I understand the truth, but I am a newbie in this industry. I am really unsure of giving such a big stall to me. I plan to find some helpers who can write and calculate first, and then go to some money shops and pawn shops to take a look and learn. If you can invite an experienced shopkeeper, it would be better to pay your respects. Please beg your Majesty."

It can be seen that Wang Huaping was very nervous when he saw Zhu Youlang. He was a little nervous when he was given such a heavy burden at once, so he left enough room for his speech.

"It's correct. You first understand the matter thoroughly and get detailed rules. As the president, you mainly grasp the direction and the overall situation, and have your own people to do the details. Therefore, finding a good helper is also the only thing that comes with the question." Zhu Youlang was quite satisfied with Wang Huaping.
