On July 21, it had been ten days since Li Zhi destroyed the Three Kings Daily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Shandong Daily" has done a lot of corrective reports, trying to eliminate the negative effect of the rumors spread by Sanwang Daily on Li Zhi.

Fortunately, the "Sanwang Daily" was suspended after only ten days of rumors, and after ten days of repeated propaganda by the "Shandong Daily", the people who were originally suspicious of Li Zhi gradually changed their views.

Next, "Shandong Daily" concentrated its firepower and began to publicize the benefits of the "Jinguo Public Court" in Shandong.

Li Zhi wants to control Shandong, not just to collect taxes in Shandong. Of course, commercial taxes and land taxes are very important interests, but at the same time, Li Zhi also needs to obtain judicial power in Shandong. Only by controlling the power to adjudicate criminal lawsuits in Shandong Province can Li Zhi truly expand his power to Shandong.

Judicial power is the premise for various affairs such as public opinion control, tax collection, industry management, and even school management. Without judicial power, what if the local officials directly embezzled Li Zhi's property in the lawsuit? What about the officials who make it difficult for those who support Li Zhi? Only by abolishing the power of Shandong's civil officials to adjudicate lawsuits can Li Zhi truly establish a fair and just social order in Shandong and show his strength.

Of course, Li Zhi's Jinguo Public Court was not only a tool for Li Zhi's rule, but also a strong pillar for Li Zhi to establish a fair and just social order for the people.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, officialdom was corrupt, and local officials were often influenced by power and favors, and the real small people were very easy to be bullied by the powerful in such a social atmosphere. Society as a whole simply does not have convincing security of property rights. If you have the power, you can sue and rob the weak of the industry. A skilled craftsman must spend a lot of money to bribe those in power in order to survive.

In such a social atmosphere, only officials and businessmen can develop. Efficient and advanced production methods and productive forces are made difficult everywhere under the unfair social order, and it will not be long before they will fall apart and return to the original point.

Li Zhi's Jinguo Public Court gave the common people and businessmen a just and fair social environment. Under the protection of the courts, farmers can rest assured that they can fatten their fields without worrying about the powerful coming to encroach on their good land, and craftsmen and workshop owners can rest assured that they can improve their production and no longer worry about the encroachment of the powerful. Even small traders are able to put more goods on their carts and no longer have to worry about blackmail.

Therefore, the first thing Li Zhi wanted to build in Shandong was the court.

The Shandong Daily was at full speed and began to introduce the benefits of the court. The social chaos before the court and the order after the court have been reported repeatedly. After the establishment of social order, the people's property and personal security have become safer. Public order has improved, social production has expanded, and the people have become richer.

After Tianjin had a court, some classic cases were published and publicized by the "Shandong Daily" to various places.

On this day, in a teahouse in Jinan, the newspaper reader held a newspaper and read it aloud in a frustrated voice:

"Before the court, there was chaos in Tianjin, and everything could be snatched. Song Ning, a small oil merchant in Jinghai County, Tianjin, did business at a fair price, and Tong Su was not bullied, and his business was good and his life was well-off. But because of his beautiful wife, he was remembered by a thousand households in Jinghai County. These thousands of households wanted to bankrupt Song Ning, snatch Song Ning's wife as a concubine, and buy off the servants to make trouble in front of Song Ning's store every day. ”

Song Ning was worried and afraid, abandoned the family heirloom shop and fled to the Tianjin Acropolis to take refuge, and worked as a firefighter in the restaurant of relatives and friends, destitute. One of his sons and a daughter died of illness due to lack of food and clothing. ”

When the tea guests in the teahouse heard this, they didn't react. The corruption of officialdom at the end of the Ming Dynasty was not as good as that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the social order was very chaotic, and any good things would be remembered by people. Marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law is very eye-catching, and ordinary people who have no power will have an accident sooner or later if they have a beautiful daughter-in-law.

For Song Ning's encounter, everyone is not surprised and accustomed to it.

However, the newspaper article was written here, and the conversation changed. The newspaper reader read: "However, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the Duke of Jin opened a court in Tianjin, and the judges were honest and fair, eradicating the evil and suppressing the powerful, and social order was gradually established. Song Ning had been cornered, so he took the Qianhu who murdered him to court with a try-and-see attitude. ”

"Who knew that the court acted impartially, and actually ruled in favor of Song Ning, arrested a thousand households with a cane and fined 50 yuan, and sentenced 1,000 households to compensate Song Ning with 120 taels of silver. Song Ning realized that Tianjin had changed a lot, and returned to Jinghai County with his wife to re-operate the oil shop, and now he has become the best oil shop merchant in Jinghai. In March this year, Song Ning's wife gave birth to a son for him again. ”

Hearing the end of the story, the tea guests in the teahouse were very surprised. It is a scandalous thing for a powerful person to take a wife. But at the end of the Ming Dynasty, no one cared about such things at all. Tea customers are small people, and who doesn't want to see such chaos stopped? Unexpectedly, in Tianjin, the people of Tianjin have enjoyed such a just social order.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and they were all a little embarrassed.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Good! The court of Jinguo Gong is good, when will I have such a court in Shandong? ”

The crowd looked at the shouting tea customers, but no one spoke.

The newspaper reader shook the newspaper and read: ""The rich man is desperate after his death, and the court keeps the family business for his heirs."

"Zhao Fenting, a pottery merchant in Tianjin, has been running the 'Zhao Ji Pottery Shop' for 36 years, and has traded all over Tianjin. Zhao Ji pottery is made of solid materials, fine workmanship, high quality, and the people like it very much, and it is a famous commercial product in Tianjin, and the goods are even exported to Gyeonggi. Zhao Fenting accumulated 21 branches and thousands of taels of goods, and before his death, he was very worried that he would be divided by traitors after his death, and he was worried that his two sons would not be able to inherit the family property, so he could only force his two sons to take the test to gain fame. The two sons have studied hard for more than ten years, but they have never been admitted to Xiucai. ”

"Zhao Fenting passed away in despair, and before the first seven days passed, his two sons immediately ushered in relatives and friends who robbed the family property, and within a few days they were occupied by sixteen shops, and the 'Zhao Ji Pottery Shop' suddenly collapsed. However, by this time, the Jinguo Court had become famous, and the two sons of the Zhao family took the robbers to court, and finally won a complete victory. ”

"The Zhao family's family business was finally recaptured, and the descendants of the Zhao family were able to continue to hire men to run the family heirloom 'Zhao Ji Pottery Shop'."

Hearing this, the tea guests in the teahouse cheered loudly. Zhao Ji pottery is a famous commodity in Tianjin, and some people in Jinan have heard of it. The old business of Zhao Ji pottery shop has been inherited, and it is not only the two sons of the Zhao family who have benefited, but also the people of Tianjin.

An old man dressed as a businessman stood up tremblingly, his face flushed with excitement, and said loudly: "If the court of Jin Guogong protects private property, I, Jiang Jianshen, will be the first to support Jin Guogong to open the court to Shandong!" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and secretly said that this was Jiang Jianshen, a famous silk merchant in Jinan City. Now the businessmen have also begun to support the Duke of Jinguo?
