After seeing off Zhao Zhenshan, Gao Hanwen greeted Jin Cuilan and Fan Wang Yongji said he was not here. Then he returned to the backyard with peace of mind to live his own happy life.
The fundamental reason why he had to avoid Wang Yongji during this period was that Gao Hanwen wanted to do many things but was unwilling to put them on paper.
The first is the joint good civil code between the arbitration office and the good civil society.
Now we have summarized 9 types of civil laws, with a total of millions of words. It is divided into various general principles of civil law, corresponding application guides, and excellent case references.
This scale should far exceed the sum of the contents of the Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions, Da Gao, Da Ming Laws and Jiajing New Regulations.
After this group of people drafted it themselves, they have been trying it out for more than half a year, and they are still being revised. It has stabilized recently, so Wang Yongji always wanted Gao Hanwen to give an explanation, preferably with the official seal of the Chief Envoy's Yamen.
Otherwise, what would this be? The people are independent of the imperial court and can govern themselves. No one would think it was a good thing. In addition, this so-called civil code does require the endorsement of the court. Otherwise, what's going on? What should I do if someone reports me? Otherwise, Wang Yongji seems to be really good, and they have fallen out a long time ago.
At first, Gao Hanwen excused himself by saying that these things were originally the responsibilities of the clan elders and had nothing to do with the imperial court. The good people came up with this strategy because they lacked recognized clan elders in the city. Once the court intervenes, what should we do if the clan elders in other places are inconsistent with the court's judgment? Should the court's prestige be changed? Gao Hanwen deliberately avoided Wang Yongji from the first time he tried to pass him off. I feel very sad when I deceive a good person. It would be most at ease to simply disappear.
The most important premise of the contract on which commercial transactions rely is equality. Although there is a penalty plan for whether Gao Hanwen should be released for chatting, the overall decision is still made by the Good People's Association themselves.
As for this, once the feudal court intervenes, it will inevitably destroy the equality of civil relations. There are not so many officials in later generations who serve the people wholeheartedly. The Ming court would have many things to avoid that could not be discussed, as well as various father-like decisions that they thought were for your own good. Once these forces are involved, this civil law will inevitably become the next Ming law in the subsequent implementation, which is flashy and unrealistic. The law became a tool at the mouth of the magistrate. As a result, the Jiajing Dynasty had to issue a new Jiajing case law to replace the original statutory law, the Ming Law. Nothing more than that the arbitrage space in the Ming Law in the early Ming Dynasty was too great. As time went by, more and more arbitrage space was discovered and abused. The whole law is like a sieve, leaking air everywhere.
Of course, the other thing is that Gao Hanwen is too far away from the powerful ministers now. Once the signature is put down, even if this thing is good, it will never be recognized by Qingliu. More importantly, there was an authoritarian emperor.
If you don’t bring it to the table, you can tolerate it. Once it is brought to the table, it must be severely punished no matter what, otherwise the imperial power will have no prestige.exist. Today there is no need for officials to judge cases on their own, and tomorrow there is no need for the emperor to manage the court by himself. There is no sign of this.
Even if the first paragraph of every law under Gao Hanwen’s instruction is full of flattery, thank you to Emperor Taizu for saving Chinese civilization, thank you to Emperor Chengzu for developing Chinese civilization, and thank you to Emperor Jiajing for bringing Chinese civilization into a new era. era. But to say that this thing can deceive Emperor Jiajing is a bit wishful thinking.
At present, the biggest core reason why Jiajing has not jumped back may still be that Zhejiang has contributed too much tax in the past six months. In a place like Zhejiang, two million taels of commercial taxes were paid in nine months, which is already equivalent to a quarter of the fiscal tax burden of the Ministry of Household Affairs in recent years. This does not include agricultural taxes. When the new land quota is fully implemented next year, agricultural taxes are expected to rise significantly.
In addition, not to mention the internal funds Jiajing received from the Weaving Bureau and the Taiwan Xuanfu Department. All this money was hidden among the people before and was not in Jiajing's internal funds. It was a waste. With this tone, as long as Gao Hanwen plays his part, he should be able to delay it for a while. And using this time to cultivate good people and develop and grow is what Gao Hanwen needs most.
