Chapter 441: Business is booming
The case Di Renjie interrogated was not a small person involved. Not to mention the Shen Ce Army, the gentry was also wailing and deafening. Among the children of the gentry, there were always unworthy people. These people were always public tragedies of Henan Prefecture, but most of their elders supported the Shen Ce Mansion, and the Shen Ce Mansion was often difficult to take serious measures against them. After all, this is not the so-called civil society, the rule of any society.
All must have their ruling foundation. From ancient times to the present, this foundation will not be promoted to the minority. From slave owners and nobles in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the powerful people in the Qin and Han dynasties, to the geniuses in the Wei and Jin dynasties, to the family families in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and were just the so-called literati officials in the later generations. Emperor Taizong said that the people are noble and the king is light. The people here are probably nothing to do with the minority. Shence Mansion needs the support of the genius, so of course it is impossible to act willfully. Read a book and read a book.
And now, Di Renjie is so willful.
No one came to plead with the gentry. After all, there was a precedent for the Shence Army. Even Qin Shaoyou's most confidant Shence Army was punished to death with Di Renjie. He ran to Qin Shaoyou to say something about it?
However, Di Renjie was considered a matter of Pingzhang, and the aristocratic clans knew the most. Of course, they knew that this was another means by the Wei family to take the opportunity to suppress the Shence Mansion, using the honest and honest Di Renjie to eliminate dissidents. However, Di Renjie often attacked unworthy people, which made people unable to find any handle.
In this way, the atmosphere of the entire Henan Prefecture gradually improved. Those who were arrogant and domineering on the contrary are now gone, and the officials who bully the people in the government have now been much more restrained.
In addition, various decrees began to be implemented, and with the help of Judge Di, it was smoother than before.
For example, the matter of building a river was more or less, although it was recruited for civil servants. However, there were still losses. Shence Mansion was not a paradise. Even if Qin Shaoyou could control the people around him, there were his own subordinates under the people. The subordinates also had pavilion chiefs and village chiefs who invited various counties to help lead civil servants. Management was a difficult task. If it was a small team, Qin Shaoyou only needed to stare at ten people, but once the team became larger, Qin Shaoyou stared at ten people, ten people stared at one hundred people, and one hundred people.
People stare at 1,000 people, 1,000 people stare at 10,000 people, and 10,000 people stare at 10,000 people. If there is a problem in any link, then this problem will expand. Just like money and grain, money and grain are depleted. If the money and grain allocated by the Shence Mansion is 10 million guan. Then the layers of officials and even local villagers and fellow villagers in the middle should have more or less share the pie. Those with consciences will share less, and those without consciences will dare to take any risks. Even if it is really in the hands of ordinary people, it would be good to have five million guan.
But the problem is that the money and grain of Shence Mansion are calculated, and 10 million chunks can ensure that even if the people fallow this year, the family will not be hungry. It will force them to leave some surplus, so if they are allocated according to this number, the people are quite enthusiastic. However, once they are deducted, the problem will arise. The money and grain that the people get may be barely filled, but it is no different from farming, not just that. Even if the fields are deserted for a year or two, they will need to repair next year, and I am afraid that it will cost a lot of effort.
So complaining was endless, and everyone was not motivated. This was still light. If someone was angry and caused trouble, he would not know how much construction period was delayed.
How could Di Renjie be willing to be lonely for a major event like the river repair? He immediately selected some confidant backbones and searched everywhere in the river embankments, searching for all kinds of illegal frauds. Once it was discovered, it was absolutely unwilling to let go. The young master of the Liu family in Yiyang County was in great trouble. Logically, the government wanted to build the river, and the wealthy families had to work hard, but they did their efforts, of course they could not dig rivers or move stones like mud legs. They were mainly responsible for taking the strong men in the hometown to do things, and they were more vulgar. These people were foremen. This young master was a very real person. Perhaps the family was in strict management and the money in his hands was tight, so he deducted a lot of money and grain. The strong men found that there were a lot of others, but their own money and grain were not even half of the family. So someone asked for trouble. Mr. Liu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and dared to make trouble? Without saying a word, he went to call a few familiar servants in Yiyang County to help and beat the person up directly.
Everyone on the river bank knew about this. Then, someone quickly reported Di Renjie. Di Renjie couldn't tell the river bank and tried the case on the spot. He beat dozens of sticks in Yiyang County, removed their posts from their official positions, and then sentenced Liu Gongzi to three thousand miles, and directly beat Liu Gongzi to Qiongzhou.
A place like Qiongzhou is now an uncivilized place, which may not be a big deal in later generations, but in this era, the so-called punishment is truly deadly. Not to mention how much punishment it has been suffered, people like Mr. Liu are almost equivalent to going to the gates of hell. This time, most of the time, it is going to be a foreign land.
The Liu family was frightened, and the whole family came to plead with mercy. Di Renjie was selfless and beat the person out directly.
When the King of Di made such a fuss, the whole Henan Palace was as beautiful as the earth. Di Renjie was almost observant. What's so amazing about this guy is not actually selfless. What's really amazing is that he is keen on "doing the way for heaven."
There is a big difference between being selfless and being selfless.
The so-called selflessness is the duty of an official. If a case comes, you will go to the trial fairly. This is indeed a matter of praise, but it is different to practice the law for heaven. In this era when the people do not procurate officials and do not investigate, like Mr. Liu, even if he beats people, the miserable will not dare to speak out. The powerful bully is a common thing. If you report to the officials today, after the Liu family takes charge, not only will the government favor the Liu family, but it may also lead to greater revenge from the Liu family.
So even if the common people sometimes get hot-headed, they will always become timid afterwards. In the end, they will often be bullied and end up in vain. Since there is no victim to sue, the Liu family will bully others, which is not considered as violating any criminal law.
But Di Renjie is different. This guy is itchy and he has to take care of things that the people don’t take. In fact, there is an overreach of authority, but there is no way. He is not an ordinary judge. If an ordinary judge dares to do this, he is really a tragic death. Di Renjie is a matter of the Secretariat of the Secretariat. He is the prime minister and has the identity of the Minister of Justice. He is almost the same as the court. He has the right to interpret the law. He said that if you violate the law, can you still go to Chang'an to file a lawsuit?
Sometimes, it is impossible to reason. Just like ordinary people, they cannot reason with the Liu family. People like the Liu family are absolutely impossible to reason with the prime minister. In his eyes, you are not a big deal. So what if you ‘bully’ you?
This is the evil ones will be beaten by evil ones.
But because of this, everyone was scared, so many rumors came out, saying that Di Renjie had placed spies in all counties in Henan Prefecture. If anything happened, he would immediately report to Henan Prefecture. He also heard that Di Renjie had a heavenly eye. He only needed to enter into meditation to know many things in Henan Prefecture. People like the Liu family immediately restrained them. Even many officials in the government did not dare to make money easily. Once this kind of money was handled, if there was a small amount, if there was a real fool at the bottom of his head, he might be in trouble.
Greedy is actually costly, and when the benefits are large enough, it is worth taking risks. However, risks are also one of the main issues to consider. Hundreds and thousands of guans are indeed not small money, but once you extend your hand, you may be in danger. Once you have a chance, not only will you not be able to lose a single child, but you may even be in prison. Even if you are greedy, you will feel that the account is not worth it. Therefore, the money and food allocated by the Shen Ce Mansion are actually put into the hands of the civilians.
In the past, civil servants were recruited by the government to work, but they may have to fill their stomachs. But now, the money and food for the river repair are several times more than before, and they are suddenly energetic. The money and food are one-time, and the Shence Mansion also has a clear order, that is, when the repair is completed and when it is dismissed, the money and food are still the money and food. If you delay the construction period, you have to do more days, but if it is completed early, you can have free time to do other things.
The 70,000 to 80,000 people were immediately energetic. Under the leadership of the craftsman led by Yang Wulian, they dug rivers and built embankments everywhere. The entire Henan Prefecture seemed to be busier than before.
Li Lingyue was very busy these days.
Although this Princess Taiping is in Shence Mansion, she is actually the steward of the inner palace of Shence Mansion. Her husband tried his best to take out countless money and grain to build the river. Li Lingyue was thinking about how to earn the money and grain from building the river again.
Her temperament has always been active, and the women in the Tang Dynasty did not have so many rules. Li Lingyue was sitting in the car everywhere, so busy that she didn't touch the ground.
Cattle, horse, etc. have been so popular recently that cattle and horse transported from Guanshi are a bit insufficient. Shence Mansion built a huge pasture in the Hebei Enclave in Mengjin, which is specially used to raise cattle and horses. Of course, it also involves the transaction of cattle and horses. Now it has become the largest livestock market in the world, and even many merchants from other prefectures and counties are willing to buy it.
The cattle and horses in Shence Mansion are all exchanged for daily necessities that are worthless, so the price is much lower than other places. The cattle and horse market just rose in the past few years, and the transactions are quite acceptable, but this year, it has been completely popular.
