Many scholars who still want to participate in the spring exam next year will still work hard to study even if they are willing to do so, but the scope of reading is not just a essay or something.

Zhu Zai was in the palace, and by chance, it was a law study and commercial theory.

Of course, he doesn't have to take the exam for fame and fortune. He just wants to figure out what's going on!

He was not interested in business theory, but the study of law made him seem to have found some clues.

Yes, the Ming Dynasty laws and regulations that the ancestors have been revising were constantly reorganized, but in fact, no one took them seriously, and even had been put on the shelves. Except for the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, someone occasionally took them out and took them out to see them, and no one cared about them.

But this law is just a rule!

He would occasionally call Ye Chunqiu, and the monarch and ministers would discuss it in an atmosphere.

At this time, Zhu Zai couldn't help but say to Ye Chunqiu, who was called into the palace by him again: "Father Ya, the three major exams in the Spring Examination, the law should be the easiest thing. After all, there are only more than 100,000 words. As long as you can memorize it carefully, there will be almost no obstacles."

Ye Chunqiu agreed with Zhu Zai's words, nodded, and smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right. The classics and history involve too much. The vast sea is like a sea. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, there are many official history. In terms of commercial theory, even if you can memorize a lot of things in the book, in a sense, you are just understanding it. If you really want to figure it out, you still need some understanding! Only in this law, there is only so many words, and they are all things that are framed. There will be no trouble behind rote memorization."

Zhu Zai said, "Since it's so easy, why use it as a test question?"

Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Zai with a desire for knowledge and said, "Does Your Majesty still remember the allusion of Emperor Taizu's implementation of the great edict?"

Zhu Zai nodded. How could he not know about Emperor Taizu?

At that time, Emperor Taizu ordered people to organize all his edicts into a book and produce a "Great Edict". At that time, in order to promote the edict, Zhu Yuanzhang even issued an order that if a family member had a great edict in his family, he would be reduced by one level if he was convicted. His original intention was to hope that everyone would have a great edict in their homes and use public welfare to implement his "laws".

It’s just a pity that although there is an effect, it still failed in the end!

The reason is nothing more than that most people are lucky in their hearts. After all,... they may not commit crimes. In addition, even if they buy a copy as a talisman, most people will not read it. It is just that they use it as a talisman when things are about to come.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Zai with a serious look and said patiently: "Actually, the Daming Law is the rule of my Daming. What everyone should do and what not to do have, has its own norms! At that time, Taizu attached great importance to it and even tried his best to implement the Daming Law. But in fact, apart from doing some superficial skills, no one took the Daming Law seriously. Officials didn't care, and the people below knew that this was useless. Now, taking this Law as one of the test questions for future scholars, scholars will inevitably take it.

It memorizes it thoroughly. In this way, if those who are in the future are officials, if they encounter criminal matters, they will be calculating in their hearts and know what kind of things should be handled. Although they cannot be absolutely fair, they can still be fair. In addition, if a confused official breaks up a confused case, if it was in the past, everyone would not care, because not many people know the law, so some officials will be calculating randomly, and others will find it difficult to see any problem. Naturally, that is not a big deal."

"But in the future, scholars know the law well. If they only need to listen to one case, can they roughly know whether the case was wrong, or can they think of the fact that someone colluded with the government behind it? If so, officials who are sentenced randomly will inevitably have to bear some public pressure at this time, because everyone understands the law. The more people they know, the more likely they will be to be criticized and suspicious if they make mistakes. Just because they receive a sum of silver, they will be criticized by countless people, which will affect their reputation and official reputation, and even be sued by someone to the Censorate, which is not worthy of being."

"The name of punishment is related to the people's perception of the court and the government. Your Majesty, you see, have you not the Qingtian masters since ancient times all rely on fair judgments? This is the original intention of the court to implement the law. This will not only allow scholars to become officials to do things without any disgrace to their own affairs, but also on the other hand, ordinary people can also benefit from it."

When Zhu Zai heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I know what Yafu meant. This is indeed meaningful. In this way, since then, our Ming Dynasty has had many Masters of Qingtian."

Ye Chunqiu smiled. Although His Majesty grew a lot after ascending the throne, he was still a little simple!

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "No, you know, people have selfish interests, how can everyone do it because of this? This is too difficult to eliminate. What I mean is that it can raise the threshold for bribery and collusion with officials. If someone is willing to spend a thousand taels of silver to clear a lawsuit, it will naturally affect the judgment of the officials. But how many people in this world can take out a thousand taels of silver at any time to resolve a lawsuit? Ordinary people can only take out ten or eight taels of silver at most.

It is a hundred taels, and the amount is also huge. But for an official, if it is only a hundred taels, the amount of money is certainly not bad, but if he takes it, it will leave a big hidden danger to himself, or it will cause criticism and doubts from countless scholars, or even his colleagues and his superiors, once he hears this case, he will probably know what is going on. For this reason, it will affect his judgment and will naturally be worth it. Although it cannot be completely determined, in this way, the court can achieve the best case and be fair."

"The same is true for human nature. If a distant relative committed a crime, if it was in the past, it would be unhindered to me. Even if it was a random sentence, it would be fine. But in the future, it would be a shame because of a distant relative. If it was a distant relative, it would have to consider it carefully. This is what the court wants to eliminate, which increases the threshold for officials to randomly judge cases. But if the criminal person involves his brothers, his wife and uncle, his son, and his father, it would be difficult to be fair." r
