The evidence and witnesses were all there, and Wu Yuncai himself did not have the slightest refutation and quibbling because of guilt and responsibility, and the verdict in the first case was soon announced.

"Now the verdict is pronounced: Wu Yuncai, the former external director of Bengang Qixintang, since the first year of the Apocalypse, has privately accepted bribes from the shopkeepers of Jirentang, Defuxuan and other firms, totaling 3,120 silver dollars; During his tenure, he opened the back door for Wu Yunfu, Fan Zhengtong and others in Bengang, placed more than 20 people in various workshops in Bengang, and received bribes and 53 silver coins. ”

“…………”

"Therefore, on the basis of the ethics of Bengang, combined with the opinion of this Admiral, the judgment is as follows: Wu Yuncai is guilty of accepting bribes, and according to the bribes he has received and the bad influence caused by it, he shall be sentenced to 20 years' hard labor to observe the after-effects!"

"Wu Yuncai, do you have any objections to this verdict?"

"Nope."

"Very good, from today onwards, this judgment will be executed, and Wu Yuncai will be escorted to serve in the Jilong Port Mine!"

Not long after, Wu Yuncai was escorted down, and then another member of the team who was tried was escorted and injured.

It took Li Tianyang two full days for more than 50 Bengang members who committed serious crimes to complete the verdict, and at this time, Li Tianyang found that there was still one of the most important things missing in Bengang, that is, the law.

Although Bengang has nominally been placed under the jurisdiction of Fujian by the governor of Fujian, Nan Juyi, and the county is under the jurisdiction of Fujian, it stands to reason that it should act in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but in Li Tianyang's view, some laws of the Ming Dynasty may not be suitable for the foundation of this era.

For example, the punishment of greedy ink, if it is according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Yuncai and many of them will never be able to get out of it just after serving decades of hard labor, at least they have to cut off their heads to stop.

However, if the sentence is to be sentenced according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it is too heavy for these Bengang members who are mostly just wrong and have the intention of repenting, and Li Tianyang also feels that it is very impractical.

Another example is the relationship between the Qixintang firm and the opening of the back door, and in the Ming Dynasty, there is no law that stipulates that non-governmental organizations need to bear any responsibility!

Therefore, after this incident, Li Tianyang decided to gather well-educated people in Bengang, gather everyone's strengths, and draw on the laws of the Ming Dynasty to formulate a law that can be obeyed by all Bengang people.

Criminal cases such as stealing, wounding, and homicide are clearly stipulated in the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but things such as open defecation, littering, unruliness, etc., are vacant things in the Ming Dynasty, involving the lives of the people and affecting their physical and mental health, in fact, they should also be included in the law, which can cultivate a nation's good morality.

After all the sentences have been sentenced and all the inmates have been taken to the place where they should serve their sentences, all the mistakes and sentences of the convicted people will be told to the people of Bengang one by one at the notice boards of the government building and the neighborhood committees, so that they can see clearly in their hearts.

With more and more literate people among the people of Bengang, and under the influence of the political culture that is very different from the Ming Dynasty, they also know how to start thinking and talking about this kind of unthinkable practice in the Ming Dynasty, and evaluating its merits and demerits is itself an ideological enlightenment to the people.

Not only in Bengang, when Li Tianyang instructed Peng Longtao to investigate the illegal members of the Bengang team, he also ordered the investigation of the members of the Jilonggang team.

Similarly, there are also a lot of team members on the side of the chicken coop port who have made a lot of mistakes, and when the verdict on the side of Ben Gang came to an end, Li Tianyang killed the chicken coop port again, and then conducted a trial of the lawbreakers in the chicken coop port.

The trial is the same as in Bengang, but there is one more episode, that is, there is a general manager who belongs to the branch of the Jilonggang Qixintang, and he is unwilling to admit that he has made a mistake in opening the door for the members around him who are qualified to join the Jilonggang workshop, and even the gifts given by these members who were stuffed into the Jilonggang workshop by him are also interpreted as human exchanges, and there are too many sophistries in his mouth.

Just because there is no precise stipulation on the inappropriateness of this practice in Bengang's ethics, and there is no specific punishment measure, Li Tianyang is held in the air by his sophistry and cannot go up and down.

In the end, the head of the Chicken Coop Gang Qixin Hall was acquitted on the spot because there was no specific provision of Bengang's ethics and the Ming law; But then, Qi Xintang dismissed the general manager on the spot, demoted him to the end on the grounds of his public and private use, and became an ordinary ordinary person in the chicken coop port.

It is said that when something like this happens, the first person to be affected will inevitably be Li Tianyang, the head of the team and the commander of the Fujian Navy Division of the Ming Dynasty, but when this case was clearly posted on the notice board of the Jilong Port Government Building, as well as the neighborhood committees and natural villages in Jilong Gang, Li Tianyang's popularity became even higher!

Maybe the dull people will hope to have a strong leader who can lead everyone forward, but whether it is Bengang or Jilonggang, with the selection of talents by the workshops and government agencies under their command, they begin to need to read and write, and many people under the command of the Bengang team are no longer in the situation of not knowing a single big word.

With the help of Bengang Night School and Jilonggang Night School, many people who have nothing to do at night and want to learn some knowledge to find a better job naturally walked into the school to read and write.

When there are more literate people, their brains will naturally think farther, so they can easily talk about their thoughts to the illiterate villagers and neighbors around them in their daily activities, which will naturally affect their way of thinking.

It is precisely because of such an environment that the common people, who have a broader horizon, can naturally understand how rare it is for a leader who knows how to limit his power, and naturally he can know what it means for Li Tianyang to make all these judgments made public in front of everyone's eyes.

Of course, behind all this, there is inevitably the shadow of the internal guard, using the members planted in the chicken coop port and Ben Gang to peel off the benefits and meanings of this and analyze them to these ordinary people, to enlighten their minds and influence their thinking.

Although the literacy rate of the Bengang team has improved, I am afraid that there are still fewer people who can really understand Li Tianyang's good intentions, and they still need someone to push them silently from behind, so that they can learn to think about the meaning behind this matter.
