It's almost the New Year, and among the markets of Nanjing, the topic of cable telegraph is the most discussed.

Since the cable telegraph was studied, the Ministry of Industry was responsible for the simultaneous erection of five lines: Nanjing-Beijing, Nanjing-Xijing, Nanjing-Chengdu, Nanjing-Kunming, and Nanjing-Guangzhou.

In just three and a half months, all five telegraph lines were erected, which is an astonishing speed. And the astonishing speed set this time was called "Great Qin Speed" by the Son of Heaven.

This "Daqin speed" refers not only to the speed of the telegraph route, but also to the speed at which Daqin's messages will be transmitted in the future.

This is a revolutionary change, in the past, to transmit a message from Xijing to Nanjing, it took more than half a month at the earliest, now, as long as a cup of tea, the news of Xijing can be transmitted to Nanjing.

This speed is bound to lead to dramatic changes in many industries. In particular, it will have an unpredictable impact on the circulation rate of the commodity economy.

For example, in the past, when Xijing was short of grain, it would take more than half a month or even a month to send people to Nanjing to transfer grain, but now with just a telegram, Nanjing can immediately transfer grain to Xijing, saving at least one month in time than before.

What this means, I believe it is not difficult for individuals to imagine.

On the top of the Shengshihua Tower, Fang Yizhi said loudly: "When talking about the importance of telegraphy, the Son of Heaven has a saying: time is money. Ladies and gentlemen, what the Son of Heaven said is really incisive. Please think that the speed of information circulation will greatly affect the circulation speed of the commodity economy, and the accelerated circulation of the commodity economy means that at the same time, you can create more and more wealth.

According to the body, a person can earn 10,000 dragon coins in a year. Now the speed of commodity circulation has been greatly accelerated, and he can achieve a profit of 20,000 dragon coins in a year. Correspondingly, he will also pay double the commercial tax to the imperial court, my Daqin's annual commercial tax income is about 50 million dragon coins, so with the frequent acceleration of the circulation of goods, you can quickly reach an annual income of 10,000 dragon coins.

If a merchant has an extra 10,000 dragon coins at the same time, then his production scale or consumption capacity will be doubled accordingly, and then more goods or market demand will be created.

The state has an additional 50 million in commercial taxes every year. It can be invested in the corresponding people's livelihood, which will play an immeasurable role in the improvement of people's livelihood. All in all, the enormous benefits brought by the advent of the telegraph are difficult to estimate. Some time ago, there were people who made irresponsible remarks about the Ministry of Industry erecting so many telegraph lines at one time, and I can only say that this kind of people are blind-eyed."

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers. Daqin Times! The imperial court published a draft of the "Great Qin Law" and solicited opinions on the revision from people of insight. Sell newspapers! Sell Newspapers"

Fang Yizhi, who was still talking about it, once again let people see what "Daqin speed" is, and others haven't fully reacted yet. He already had a freshly baked Daqin Times in his hand, and for a while, he couldn't move, and he read it hungrily.

The draft of "Daqin Law" was actually published in the Daqin Times. The intention was to solicit opinions from people of insight in the private sector for the revision. Even if the great deeds of the Son of Heaven are already dazzling, as soon as this move comes out, it still surprises people like Fang Yizhi.

Successive dynasties have also attached great importance to the laws of this dynasty. But who has ever seen the revision of the imperial law still ask the people for their opinions on the revision? The Son of Heaven has always been praised by the people, and the draft of the "Great Qin Law" to solicit opinions from the people is regarded as a "holy Ming" by readers.

There has been such a big stir in the local area about judicial reform, and scholars such as Fang Yizhi and Zhu Shunshui, who are non-governmental think tanks, have already smelled an unusual meaning.

It's just that since the imperial court stripped the local chief officials of the judicial power, there has been no movement, and there is not even a trace of rumors in the court.

After Fang Yizhi and the others read the draft of the "Great Qin Law" published by the Daqin Times, they suddenly understood that there had been no news in judicial reform before, and the Son of Heaven was waiting for an opportunity, and this opportunity may be the official promulgation of the "Great Qin Law".

"What does Brother Mi think about this?" After Li Changqing read the draft of "Great Qin Law", he couldn't help but ask.

The second floor of the Shengshi Hualou is the teahouse, which has now become one of the important places for scholars in Beijing to exchange knowledge and discuss the world's major events, and there are many scholars who gather here every day, and today is no exception, with more than 60 people present.

The windowsill of the teahouse is full of flowers, the incense is curling in the building, and everyone has a cup of tea in front of them, and it is elegant.

Li Changqing asked, and everyone looked at Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yizhi said solemnly: "The Law of Great Qin is the fundamental Dafa of my Great Qin, we have just seen it, and we haven't had time to think about it carefully, how can we say it lightly?" ”

"Brother Secret has a point."

"Yes, the Son of Heaven published this draft to the world for advice, this is an unprecedented act of the Holy Wisdom, with good intentions, how can we make rash remarks on this without careful consideration, we always need to ponder it carefully for three or five days, and only after we have gained something can we say something."

"The Holy Monarch is on the throne, and he has opened up his words widely, this is a unique holy act in the prosperous era of Great Qin."

"Yes!"

While the scholars present praised the Son of Heaven, the other party expressed their recognition and appreciation with a wise and cautious attitude.

If it was a few years ago, it was appreciated by everyone, Fang Yizhi would not be complacent and happy. It's just that after the change of dynasty and several ups and downs in life, he is no longer as superficial as before, and he can be calm and calm in the face of everyone's appreciation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although we can't ignore the specific provisions of the draft of the Great Qin Law, the presumption of innocence and the people-oriented thinking throughout this draft are worthy of our attention."

A scholar named Liang Cheng, the word Zhongzhi, quite famous, thirty-six years old, with an upright face, he stroked his beard at this time and said: "Today, the saint is bright, and the world knows it." However, the various measures of the imperial court are not without worry. From the previous forensic training, the local judicial power was separated from the hands of the chief official and exercised as a deputy, which effectively completed the separation of local administration and justice.

On the surface, this move seems to be conducive to judicial fairness, but when you look deeper, you are not without the suspicion of emphasizing the law and ignoring Confucianism. The pre-Qin dynasty ruled the country with the Legalists, and the second was the Han Dynasty.

Nowadays, the various measures of the imperial court are quite worrying, once the judiciary is independent, in fact, it goes hand in hand with the administration. In other words, this is abandoning Confucianism, and the Legalists are harsh on the law, how can you not notice it? ”

Liang Cheng's words resonated with many readers at once.

"Yes, although it is not said that Confucianism will be abandoned, it is an indisputable fact that the statecraft implemented today is increasingly biased towards Legalism."

"Once the judiciary is independent of the executive, it is easy to override it and form a strong check on the executive. However, now the official schools, which are specifically in charge of education, are in the administrative ranks, so is it not equivalent to Legalism above Confucianism? ”

“”

It is true that everyone knows that the separation of the judiciary and the administration is conducive to judicial justice, but once it comes to the major issue of right and wrong in the dispute over Confucianism, everyone can immediately ignore whether the separation of politics and law is conducive to judicial justice.

"What Brother Zhong said is really a word that woke up the people in the dream, how can we sit idly by and ignore such a move by the imperial court?"

"Yes, this is a big right and wrong, and as a disciple of Confucianism, we can't turn a blind eye."

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone in Xia Jian yì knocks on the book together, today is the Holy Ming Monarch, as long as I wait for the interests and disadvantages to be stated, I believe that today will definitely adopt it."

"In that case, please ask Brother Zhong to write it, and we will attach the name and submit the letter to the king together."

“”

It's really hard to imagine that the originally peaceful Shengshi Hualou caused a lot of emotion so quickly because of Liang Cheng's words, and even supported knocking on the book.

It can be seen from this that once the status of Confucianism is endangered, the reaction of scholars all over the world is very fierce.
