My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 51 News from the mansion (plus more, there will be more at night)

Su Ze stepped into the execution room of the county government with one foot, and the system's voice sounded in his ears:

[Discover the location "County Office", you can learn the skill "Criminal Litigation", do you want to learn it? 】

"yes!"

Su Ze quickly chose yes, then quickly retracted his feet and left the door of the execution room.

Sure enough, I got a skill! It turned out to be the skill of "criminal litigation"!

In the game "Hundred Scenes", criminal litigation is a hidden skill to make money.

Criminal litigation is a litigator who helps people to fight lawsuits, which is similar to lawyers in modern society.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang hated Meng Yuan's lawyers very much, and once banned the profession of lawyers.

In the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, because the Yuan Dynasty had abolished the imperial examinations, many scholars were unemployed, so they either entered the government as officials, or became litigators to help the people in litigation.

In order to earn more money, some unscrupulous litigators will even deliberately instigate conflicts and persuade the people to file lawsuits to profit from it, resulting in "unrest in states and counties, and a decline in the world."

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once forbade the representation of people other than his relatives in litigation. Up to now, there is still such a clause in the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" that instigates the litigants, embellishes the lawsuits, and increases the crimes, and sits with the criminals.

This decree, like Zhu Yuanzhang's many "ancestral laws", gradually disintegrated with the development of the times.

After the commodity economy developed in the Ming Dynasty, more professional litigation appeared, and the profession of professional litigator also reappeared.

In this current period, the Ming court has already turned a blind eye to litigators. All cases in the county will invite litigants. There is a Xu Dazhang in Nanping County, and some people even invite him to Jiangxi, thousands of miles away. Go to court.

However, the demand for lawyers is so great, it is not easy to become a lawyer, so criminal litigation is a hidden skill in "Hundred Scenes".

First of all, it is necessary to read and write, which almost screens out all ordinary people.

Secondly, as a litigator, one must be familiar with the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", which is not something that everyone can read.

Confucianism is very disgusted with litigators, thinking that they are villains who provoke the common people to fight for their own power.

These people study the loopholes in the law day and night, which makes the common people go to the yamen to sue. Therefore, if ordinary people have no relationship with the county yamen, it is not easy to see the law of the Ming Dynasty, let alone learn the law.

Those who can be lawyers, or they are from a family of lawyers, and the family itself has the law of the Ming Dynasty to study.

Or it is a scholar who can't pass the imperial examination, and can enter and leave the county government to borrow the Ming law.

Su Ze acquired the skills of "criminal litigation", some precautions for writing pleadings, and common legal provisions entered his mind.

This county government office is a treasure house!

After a while, Su Ze learned the skill of "construction" from the workshop, and the skill of "water conservancy" from the canal room.

What a bumper harvest!

In the county government that ordinary people regard as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, Su Ze has acquired four skills in one fell swoop!

Construction includes the blueprints and techniques for building houses and various facilities. These are all secret skills passed down by ancient families. It is difficult for ordinary people to learn real kung fu.

Water conservancy is even a rare skill. Water conservancy projects are the top priority in agricultural society. If the level of water conservancy skills is high, just build any project, and the title of eternal minister will never escape.

The Ming Dynasty learned the experience and lessons of the Yuan Dynasty's death from the floods of the Yellow River, and attached great importance to water conservancy construction. All officials who can control rivers and canals are promoted very quickly.

When Su Ze gained four skills, Lin Xianyang finally caught up with him, and he was sweating profusely and said:

"Brother Aze, this is the county government, don't run around!"

After saying this, he dragged Su Ze to the Chengfa Department, just in time to meet Hai Rui who had finished reading the residence newspaper.

Hai Rui's face was a bit ugly, seeing that Su Ze had finished his work, he took him away from the county office.

Along the way, Hai Ruidu's face was livid, and Lin Xianyang was frightened, fearing that he would offend the official by doing something.

Su Ze was in a relaxed mood. Hai Rui should have read the mansion newspaper in the Chengfa Department and saw the court's tricks to make the city look like this.

Sure enough, when Hai Rui returned to the county school, he immediately said: "The treacherous officials are in charge! Last month, the imperial court sent thirty censors to various provinces to investigate the violations committed by the ancestors of military officers, and all descendants of the officers who violated the law will be dismissed!"

Su Ze was stunned for a moment, and recalled his knowledge of Ming history. It seemed that there was indeed such a period in history, when Nie Bao, Minister of the Ministry of War, attached himself to Yan Song, and proposed the case of imperial censor Qing army, but the history book only briefly mentioned this matter without much description.

Although Su Ze didn't know much about the situation of the Ming Dynasty Hall, it was definitely not good news that the imperial court sent the imperial censor Qing army.

The supervisory censor of the Ming Dynasty was okay in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, people hated dogs. Every time the imperial court sent a censor, it was a carnival for the censor to harvest money.

Thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's "exquisite" official system design, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for supervising the supervisory censors all over the world.

The Ming Dynasty's characteristic of "low salary to maintain integrity" made it very difficult for these seven ranks of supervisory censors. The word "Qing" in Qingliu not only means clean and honest, but also means poverty.

There are 110 supervisory censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, not all of them are Qingliu, even Qingliu have to eat, every time they inspect a place, it is when these censors blackmail the place.

When the censor goes to a place, he represents the imperial court to inspect the world, and when he sees an official, he has to be a third-ranker. Even the chief envoy of a province must treat him carefully when he sees it.

Local officials at all levels have established rules on how to entertain the censor. Su Ze's Lv1 "bribery" skill is automatically activated, and a set of standards for county officials to bribe the censor popped up in his mind.

Now that there are Japanese pirates in the southeast, Emperor Jiajing even sent a censor to blackmail the army. Su Ze really doesn't know what the Taoist emperor is thinking.

Hai Rui continued: "They want to use fines to fill the warehouse. In order to please His Majesty, these cruel officials will definitely fight for favors and disturb the army and guards. The southeast is in chaos!"

Su Ze understood now. It turned out that Emperor Jiajing's idea was very simple, just to make money.

Taicang warehouse is the emperor's private treasury. In recent years, the emperor has become more and more addicted to Taoism and overhauled the temples.

In the 32nd year of Jiajing, the catastrophe in the west of Beijing actually caused a situation of "human cannibalism", but the imperial court still had no money to relieve the disaster, and finally drove the victims out of the city. The hungry victims opened a "people's market" outside the capital city. The son changed his wife to eat, turning the western capital into a hell on earth.

But also in the 32nd year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing took out 150,000 taels of silver from Taicang to buy gold treasures and pearls, and then raised the salaries of the members of the old Zhu family's royal family. Anyone with the surname Zhu can receive a "ration" of seventy shi a year.

As a result of this famine, most of the victims starved to death before the problem was solved. How many people starved to death is not recorded in the history books, and there is no statistics in the mansion newspaper. "The "magic power" supersedes the souls of the dead.

Su Ze remembered the "disaster" recorded in the genealogy of later generations:

"On May 17th, the imperial censor Yan patrolled the guards, and the county clerk Xu Shisheng criticized the Seventh Patriarch, and the censor temporarily dismissed the Seventh Patriarch's military posts from a hundred households. The Weisuo gave five hundred taels of filial silver, and the Seventh Patriarch was restored to his original post. Getting tired."

Calculating from the time, the calamity on the genealogy should have happened during the time of the imperial censor Qing army.

The more Su Ze thinks about it, the more likely it is. Changning Guard is a military guard. This time the censor visited the place to blackmail the officers. According to the order of the court last month, the censor should be able to go to Fujian this month.

Changningwei is his base, so he must find a way to avoid this disaster!
