Chapter 661 Infinite Legitimate Defense In the Yuan Dynasty, people were divided into ten ranks, one official and two officials, three monks, four daoists, five doctors, six workers, seven hunters, eight prostitutes, nine Confucians, and ten beggars.In a special era, scolding intellectuals as stinky old nine is derived from this regulation, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, vigorously revived Confucianism, respected scholars, and reused scholars as officials.In order to encourage scholars to learn, Zhu Yuanzhang formulated regulations, such as that Xiucai can have officials who do not worship, are exempted from forced labor, the county decree is not allowed to punish scholars, and the official can directly visit the county magistrate when he is on official business, etc.However, he personally cultivated the freak of the gentry class, and the Ming Dynasty was too heavy on these scholars, when the court had no money and food, he could owe the military salary of the sergeant, he could embezzle military funds, and he could also owe the officials his salary, but he could not owe the rice and grain of the scholar, and he would pay you the passage fee for the exam, hire a scholar, match the carriage, and give you a large sum of money by the way, this treatment is simply invincible.Quan Xu did not want to cultivate a privileged class of soldiers in Liaodong, even if the martyrs who died in the line of duty could be exempted from the privilege of tax for their families, but this period was only five years, unlike the Ming Dynasty, which was a permanent tax exemption for the gentry, and the care for the soldiers was only reflected in insignificant aspects.For example, military travel, government transportation systems, such as passenger ships and trains, can be used for free, but limited to second-class and economy class, and if you want to enjoy first-class and business class, you will need to pay for it yourself.Any rules and regulations, easy to open, and then want to tighten it will be difficult, even if it is Quanji, in Liaodong and Luzon and Quanxu control area, can only act in accordance with the rules and regulations, absolutely can not unscrupulously engage in privilege, for example, the public auction of mineral resources mining rights, Quanji enterprises should also participate in the competition fairly, the highest price wins.Actually, it's just relative fairness.China is originally a humane society, for example, Quan Ji wants to take the mining rights of a certain place, and in the public auction link, even if the people of other business alliances are rich, they will consider Quan Xu's attitude, so they are just after the initial competition, tentatively raising a certain price.Seeing that Quan Ji is resolute, they will automatically withdraw from the competition.This fair environment is actually relative, this is the dark box operation of the Liaodong system, for this reason, Quanxu has reduced the number of Quanji enterprises, but also controls the business scope of Quanji.You must know that a monopoly is not spring, a monopoly enterprise, and does not take advantage of the overall development of the industry.When he returned to the Wuwei Hou Mansion, Zhu Weiyuan was reconciling the accounts, and in the second quarter of Chongzhen's eighth year, relatively speaking, the tax expenditure increased by more than 28 million taels of silver.Zhu Weiyuan is very sensitive, she has been married to Quan Xu for three years, and I don't know what the reason is, in the past three years, the Wuwei Hou Mansion has not increased the number of newborn babies, and at this time, Quan Xu actually raised taxes to the government on a large scale.Zhu Weiyuan felt that Quan Xu seemed to have his own plans: "Don Ma, are you ready to give up your privileges in Liaodong?"
”"No, I just hope the government can play a bigger role!"
Quan Xu is not so great, although Liaodong is not his fiefdom, but it is his basic plate, and he will definitely not give up.Don't look at the increase in Quanji's tax payments, but the problem is that the person in charge of spending money is Quan Xu, who is just turning his left hand to his right hand.This trick is to learn from the hypocrite of Kangxi, he promulgated in the 51st year of Kangxi "Shengshi Ziding, never add endowment", Kangxi is a person who loves face, in order to win a benevolent government and love the people's reputation, on the one hand, he announced "never add endowment", on the other hand, he turned a blind eye to the extra-tax fees of officials.Although it is not taxed, it can be taxed, but those rotten Confucians blew Kangxi into the sky, known as the Holy Monarch of the Ages, but in fact it is a fart.In any case, Quanxu himself began to increase the scope and proportion of tax payments, and other businessmen did not dare to object, which is the advantage of mastering the basic industry.Although the tax was raised, it did not reduce Quanxu's actual influence on Liaodong.He used this way for the sake of the future, he became the supreme ruler and cleared the way, just like Li Yan in history, who proposed to Li Zicheng that "King Chuang will not pay for food", which is actually a false proposition, if you don't pay for food, what will the millions of troops eat?
What to drink?
What do officials eat?
You can't let them drink the northwest wind, can you?"
You have to think about it!"
Zhu Weiyuan expressed great regret, because she did not give Quan Xu a son-in-law, which made Quan Xu have the idea of giving up on herself, and she felt a deep sense of guilt in her heart.The government council of Liaodong is actually different from the state governments in Europe, taking the beautiful country as an example, the power of the governor is even greater than the president and the federal government in a certain aspect.The mayor can also not bird the governor, which seems abnormal to the Chinese.The jurisdiction of the government council of Liaodong over the states and states is actually flattened, and the prefectures of Liaodong, Luzon, Taiwan, and Qiongzhou are all implemented by one law.The vast majority of the people have expressed their understanding of the government's collection of taxes, and in the traditional concept, it is natural to farm land and pay for grain, and there has never been such a thing as not paying money and grain.The land in Liaodong, Taiwan, Luzon, and Qiongzhou Island belonged to Quanxu's private ownership, and the peasants nominally owned the land, but the root of this right came from Quanxu.Quan Xu divided the ownership and use rights of land in Liaodong, and like later generations, the peasants only had the right to use, but not ownership, and the people of Liaodong were just tenants.Chongzhen's knowledge of Liaodong, everything is subversive, just like now, a serious murder occurred in Qingshan Town near Fuzhou Bay.Four drunken scholars broke into the home of a resident of Qingshan Town, who was just a widow woman living alone with a son, and her husband was not a soldier, but a shipyard craftsman, who died last winter because of tuberculosis.The widow was very rich, because her husband, before his death, was a mechanic in the shipyard, and he invented a gluing material that could prevent water seepage into the hull, because this patent, applied to almost all seagoing ships, had as much as more than 1,600 taels of silver per year for the share of technology.And this widow did not eat poor, but ran a vegetable and tofu shop, saying that she had a lot of money is definitely not an exaggeration, when four drunken scholars entered the widow's house at night, the widow with a revolver shot four people, two of them were shot in the heart and died on the spot, one was shot in the lower abdomen and died in the early morning of the next day, and one was cut in the arm and abdomen by a firewood knife, and after three days of treatment, died of wound infection.This case spread very far because of the four lives that took it.Because of the involvement of the privileged class of scholars, these four scholars from Jiangnan have very rich families, and they have to pay for the woman's life in a lawsuit.The trial of cases in Liaodong is all open, and there is no question of the reputation of the parties in later generations, and the trial is not open, and Chongzhen, as the emperor, believes that there is no need to try this case at all.As a woman, killing four men in a row, no matter what the reason, is a capital crime, not to mention that these four scholars did not cause any loss to women, but only broke three vases and several dishes in the woman's house, and knocked down a table, and the loss was not enough to worry about.However, the result of the public trial surprised Chongzhen.Defendant Liu Shen, justified defense, plaintiffs Qiu Shusheng, Chen Guangzhi, Shen Shaobai, and Zhang Zhibo paid compensation for Liu Shen's 12 bullets, totaling 12 taels of silver, and the vases and dishes lost in the house totaled 324 taels of silver, and compensated Liu Shen for mental losses of 180 taels of silver, and his son Liu Jun for mental losses of 120 taels of silver, totaling 315 taels and 4 taels of silver.This result makes Chongzhen very difficult to accept, even if the defendant Liu Shen said that the deceased Qiu Shusheng and the other four people intended to violate her, she can be regarded as normal defense, but the problem is that the four people are dead, and Liu Shen is not bad for money, how can she give the four deceased funeral expenses out of favors.As a result, the lawyers hired by the four deceased were naturally dissatisfied and retorted, claiming that the four were simply drunk and went to the wrong room, and that was it.The four deceased were powerless, so naturally they would not pose any threat to Liu Shen's family.Faced with the prosecutor's questioning, the judge asked directly: "Let's not talk about whether there is a threat to the hostess, under normal circumstances, it is legal to shoot and kill the person who illegally broke into his house."
Whoever is responsible is whose responsibility is whose responsibility, and the task of law enforcers is not to make peace with the mud, but to do justice.Drunkenness is not an excuse to break the law, let alone a reason to evade responsibility, lawyer Chen, in view of the fact that you have violated morality and conscience, aided and abetted, acted for the tiger, and lost your professional ethics as a lawyer, this judge now pronounces a verdict, dismisses you from your professional status as a lawyer, and limits you to leave Liaodong within half a month, and if you do not leave within the time limit, you will bear the consequences!
”This result made Chongzhen feel unacceptable.However, the people who attended the ceremony cheered excitedly.Several servants and family members of the scholars raised questions, but the young judge raised his hammer and smashed it on the case, announcing in court: "You can file a lawsuit with the Supreme Court of the Golden State, and before the result is reached, the judgment of this court will be executed, and the four family members will be limited to pay Liu Shen three hundred and fifteen taels of silver within half a month, and if they fail to pay within the time limit, they will be accumulated with interest at 20 percent per annum, and they will be guilty of contempt of court and fined 5,000 taels of silver." ”Wang Chengen saw Chongzhen's sullenness, so he hurriedly said: "Emperor, they have gone too far, they should order Wuwei Hou to punish the parties......"
At this moment, Quan Xu slowly walked in front of Emperor Chongzhen: "What did you say?"
”Wang Chengen shrank his head in fright, and his mouth began to tremble.Although Quan Xu looks harmless to humans and animals, like a little white rabbit, only those who know Quan Xu directly will find Quan Xu's ruthlessness.
