500. Chapter 500: Touching the Dharma for the Father
Under the new law, there is a reward for righteousness and courage; Indulge thieves and turn a blind eye to punishment for them; Falsely accusing others of being back-seated. If people really catch bandits and murderers, the government will also reward the people who helped.
It was precisely because of this that the people saw that Guan Wu wanted to leave, so they desperately surrounded him.
If Wen Zhao saw the current behavior of the people, he would definitely feel very gratified.
Guanzhong not only enacted a new law, but also ordered officials to popularize legal knowledge among the people.
Since ancient times, legislation has always been an easy thing, but it is not an easy thing to make the law deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and be able to implement it.
Just like the uprisings of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in history, the two of them also took advantage of the fact that the people were legally illiterate, so that they induced everyone to rebel with them.
If the more than 900 people in Daze Township at that time knew that the law of the Qin State was 'exempted from punishment due to the rain', rather than 'all the crimes lost due to the rain', I am afraid that everyone would not have risen up.
Of course, this does not mean that the laws of the Qin State have not been implemented, after all, at that time, not long after Qin Shi Huang unified the world, the laws of the six kingdoms that were destroyed were completely different from the laws of Qin.
Perhaps the Qin law is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people among the Qin people, but these people of the Six Kingdoms, who have not been the people of the Great Qin for a long time, want to completely accept the Qin law, but it is also an extremely long process.
It was precisely because Wen Zhao thought of this scene in history that he would severely urge the local officials to explain the law to the people.
In this way, it can not only effectively help open up the wisdom of the people, but also give the people a ruler in their hearts, so that they can regulate their behavior and not violate the law.
Of course, the law involves many aspects, and it is difficult for the people to understand it all. What Wen Zhao could do was to ask the local officials to explain as much as possible the laws that were closely related to the lives of the people.
In addition to this, Wen Zhao also ordered that in each county, a proclamation full of laws should be posted.
Thanks to the advent of new papermaking techniques and movable type printing, the cost of these pieces of paper, which was full of laws, was not too high.
Proclamations full of the Law were posted in a place where the sun did not shine and the rain did not shine, and every day there would be a literate man who would stay there to explain the law to the people who had questions.
In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people to study the law, the government even set up rewards, and there are some corresponding rewards for those people who study the law outstandingly.
It is because of Wen Zhao's various measures that although the new law in Guanzhong has not been promulgated for a long time, many people have a general idea of the new law.
Of course, the birth of the new law of Guanzhong in most cases continued the law of the Han Dynasty. Even if some positions borrow from Qin Law, they will not touch the interests of Haoqiang and the world.
Because Chen Xu knows that now is the time when the world is turbulent and the heroes are rising. If the law is openly enacted and touches the interests of these powerful and worldly peoples, it will inevitably meet with their fiercest resistance.
This kind of resistance may be more intense than Chen Xu's direct claim to be the emperor.
After all, as long as the change of emperor does not touch their interests, these people's families can still continue to be brilliant.
But if their cheese is moved, between Chen Xu, Haoqiang and the clan, it will become an endless situation, and there is no room for relaxation.
With this in mind, Wen Zhao was still a little cautious when formulating the new law.
His caution was rewarded with the rapid popularization of the new law.
This popularization process has hardly caused the slightest ripple. Because every prince of the Han Dynasty today will reformulate the law according to the situation of the people in the territory.
As everyone knows, the new law promulgated by Wen Zhao has begun to pave the way for future major reforms.
When the law has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people have developed the habit of understanding and abiding by the law, a fire will be planted in their hearts, and sooner or later it will burn into a raging fire.
At that time, no matter how big the world was, no matter how strong the family and the powerful forces were, they could not stop this kind of fire.
The June sun was shining on the earth, and everyone felt hot. On the street, which is not very wide, the atmosphere is somewhat solemn.
Guan Wu watched as the people surrounded him and stopped his progress.
It was only at this time that this young man, who was speechless, spoke: "Although a certain Guan Wu is not a big hero, he is also a person who dares to act. ”
"I also know the laws of the government, so naturally I will not escape and affect you. If you don't believe me, you can go with me to the county office. ”
Guan Wu's words made everyone breathe a long sigh of relief. Although Guan Wu is only one person, he is powerful, not to mention that everyone is an acquaintance, so he naturally does not want to really clash with Guan Wu.
It was a good thing that he was able to turn himself in.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Hugh is going to go murderer!"
At this moment, a commotion sounded, and I saw that Li Kui and the three elders of the township had already brought people to arrest Guan Wu.
If a murder is committed in their territory, if the murderer is allowed to escape, the consequences of such a thing are simply unimaginable. At the very least, these officials, who are responsible for managing order in the township, will not escape punishment.
Therefore, after Li Kui and the three elders of the township heard the news, they led the young man to take the weapon and hurriedly ran over.
Li Kui is also a respected old man in Guanjia Village, he looked at Guan Wu covered in blood, and immediately couldn't help but sigh: "What can't be solved peacefully, but you kid have to kill someone?" ”
"Although I watched you grow up, I know that you are a good person. But the law of the country is ruthless, and the murderer must be punished by the law! ”
Li Kui thumped his chest, quite angry. It's just that in his eyes, he is also a little unbearable, obviously he also has some guesses in his heart about why Guan Wu killed people on the street.
Although Guan Wu lowered his head highly, he still said in a hoarse voice: "Zheng Tu insulted my lord, causing the old man to be depressed and vomit blood to death. As the Son of Man, if I cannot avenge my father, heaven will not tolerate it. ”
These words shocked everyone onlookers. They guessed that there were some twists and turns, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Guan Wu's words caused an uproar among everyone. Although a very small number of people had already guessed in their hearts, after hearing Guan Wu admit it himself, everyone still felt a little incredible.
In particular, those who did not know the cause and effect of the antecedents whispered one after another and asked a few people who knew about it.
It turned out that Guan Wu went out to travel a year ago, but he didn't want his father to start to be in poor health half a year ago. The son went on a long trip, and there were no relatives at home, and the old man was not in good health, so he wanted to buy some pork to make up for his body.
But I don't want to have a lot of money at home, plus pork in the Han Dynasty is very expensive, which is comparable to mutton. The old man took a small amount of money and came to Zheng Tu's house to buy meat, but was humiliated by Zheng Tu.
Zheng Tu said directly at the time: "Your family is a little ignorant, there is no money at home, but your son is pretending to be a scholar and a scholar to go out to travel. ”
"You old thing even took such a small amount of money to buy pork from me, but you don't know the money, and you can't even buy a pig hair."
The old man was not in good health and missed his son very much. Now he was insulted by Zheng Tu again, and after returning home, he has been indignant and his condition has worsened.
It didn't take long for the old man to die.
When the old man died, everyone thought he was sick and died, but they didn't expect such twists and turns in the middle.
