At the committee, the people who stayed in Linzi did not look so good. After hearing Huo Chong's story about capital as usual, everyone at least pretended to listen carefully. For example, Yang Wangfu didn't say a word because the county magistrate in the county where the accident was recommended by Yang Wangfu.

As an old subordinate, Yang Wangfu thought that Song Qingkun was a very good brother. He was brave, loyal, and loyal.

The content of Huo Chong's narration has not changed. I have heard about capital for a long time. Yang Wangfu was considering how to deal with Song Qingkun's affairs. If possible, of course I hope Song Qingkun is fine. Yang Wangfu just didn't think about how to effectively achieve his goal.

“…Comrades have the dominance of normal people’s expectations, and dominance is linked to capital in society. Do they have a cognition?”

After Huo Chong asked, most people expressed their agreement. However, some people still seemed to not understand enough, such as Zeng Jing, the director of land reform.

Zeng Jing seemed to be trying to understand what Huo Chong said very seriously. The man frowned and said, "Lord, I don't understand very much. Although the lord does not agree with Zhu Xi, and even more so, the so-called preservation of the principles of heaven and destroying human desires, what is the relationship between what the lord says?"

"If you want to do things, you have to pay it. Because everyone has to survive. If you want to survive, it is impossible to be completely self-sufficient. Once you want to improve your productivity, you have to trade. Can you understand that?"

Zeng Jing thought about it after hearing this, and nodded with some confidence.

"Then it is more simple. If you don't have metal farm tools, you will be able to cultivate the land with manpower and wooden farm tools, and you will consume more physical strength and become more tired. If you rely on oxen and metal farm tools, you will not only consume less physical strength, but it will be faster and better than just human power and wooden farm tools. Right?"

"Yes." Zeng Jing nodded very happily this time.

"However, you must be able to raise cattle to be fat and strong, and train to be obedient and capable. You must also know how to open iron ore, smel iron, and make iron. Not to mention that a family is afraid that they will not have this ability. If you are in an area without iron ore, you can't do it. At least there are no guys out of nothing in this world. Can you understand that if you say so?"

Zeng Jing thought about it and nodded happily in agreement.

"Then, transactions are needed. In the relationship between humans, everyone instinctively wants to be dominant. Even if there is no malice, they want to raise their arms and let everyone agree with it. At least in your home, you instinctively want to have the final say, right?"

Zeng Jing continued to nod, "Well. That's true."

"Then, in order to produce products that are traded with others, you must have means of production. At least you must have means of production within a certain period of time. This is the basis for the survival of the self-cultivated farmers who own their own land and the tenants."

"Yes." Zeng Jing continued to nod. However, without waiting for Huo Chong to continue speaking, Zeng Jing suddenly understood, "It is indeed a reasonable idea to master the means of production and not be restrained by others. Lord, this is indeed a human nature."

"Having the expectations of dominance is a normal reaction of human beings. To improve cognitive ability, and finally understand that mastering means of production requires acquired learning, experience, and cognition. Therefore, there are two stages, instinct and cognition are still two different things. Although it is internally driven, it is a problem of dominance. At the level, it is the difference between innate and acquired."

Zeng Jingxian expressed his agreement with Huo Chong's view, but continued: "In this way, wasn't Zhu Xi just advocated the preservation of the principles of heaven to destroy human desires? "Human desire" is selfish desire, lust, greed, etc. These desires must be eliminated! Human desire is the principles of heaven, and desires must have a limit!"

Huo Chong didn't expect that Zeng Jing would have a little bit of a high meaning recently, which was to use what he learned to explain the matters in the base area. And it seemed to be very concise to explain.

Fortunately, with Gao Pang Zhuyu in front, Huo Chong accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with these people. He asked directly: "Lao Zeng, do you think Zhu Xi proposed this seemingly understandable explanation, and what else was said was correct?"

"This... is right or wrong." Zeng Jing showed a certain degree of humility.

"Zhu Xi's plan is for the exploiters. In other words, it is reasonable to exploit. More importantly, Zhu Xi's plan of internal logic does not require these people not to exploit, but to serve the Three Bonds and Five Constant Permanents. To put it bluntly, it still strengthens the power and status of the exploiters. Is his plan of liberating the people?"

"This... I don't read much, so it's hard to say." Zeng Jing cleverly avoided the sharp questions.

Huo Chong didn't want to deal with Zeng Jing too seriously, at least it was not yet that stage. Seeing Zeng Jing retreat, Huo Chong turned back to the current problem, "I think we have to act in accordance with the law for this matter. Regarding the judiciary, we must have laws. Although the writing of the law is still lagging behind, we cannot use the lack of our own criminal law as an excuse. This time, we must first follow the basic provisions of the murderer's death."

Everyone's faces changed. Killing was really nothing to most people in the committee. Two hundred thousand Qing troops were annihilated. The Qing officials, local gentry, and their dog legs had to be together hundreds of thousands. In the armed conflict, the killings were rolling.

This incident was simply in terms of the number of people, which was far from the scale of those wars. If it were simply to send troops to fight, these guys would have been screaming excitedly.

Seeing that everyone was serious, Huo Chong continued: "As for those who did not kill, they must also bear the responsibility. Some of this responsibility is legal responsibility, and some are disciplinary responsibility."

Everyone still didn't say anything. Huo Chong was very dissatisfied with this and simply didn't say anything. He looked at the committee members carefully.

These guys lowered their heads one after another and did not dare to confront Huo Chong's eyes. Only Qian Qing and Lei Hu looked back at Huo Chong.

After a long silence, Huo Chong gave enough time to observe the expressions of these guys. Huo Chongzheng was a little disappointed, and Qian Qing asked, "Sir, how should these responsibilities be calculated? Can't we use the law of the Qing Dynasty?"

Huo Chong didn't know what Qian Qing wanted to say. Although the "Law of the Qing Dynasty" was a law that had to be used temporarily now, Huo Chong did not want to continue to use it. The Chinese imperial court must have its own set of codes.

Just as he was considering whether he wanted to talk about this issue with Qian Qing here, Yang Wangfu asked, "Sir, do you also need to use the regulations in the Qing Dynasty?"

When Huo Chong heard this, he couldn't control his emotions for a moment, so he didn't say anything for the time being.

For people in New China, they feel that they have original sin when they hear the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty is wrong, and this is an instinctive feeling.

Even if he knew it was not reasonable to knock a boat of people overturned, Huo Chong didn't want to correct it. No matter what, Huo Chong didn't have the desire to make gold in his shit. And the Qing Dynasty was a process from beginning to end, from garbage to more garbage. I really had nothing to pick out.

So Yang Wangfu's words did make Huo Chong very unhappy. But Huo Chong still didn't want to criticize Yang Wangfu. After all, from the perspective of tools, there are not some things in the Qing Dynasty that can be used temporarily.

Moreover, the research and utilization of the Qing Dynasty law in the base area is responsible for the Museum of Literature and History. The members of the Museum of Literature and History include Ding Juren and Huo Chong's current father-in-law Luo Xiucai.

Originally, Huo Chong thought that everyone in the Qing Dynasty would rise up and fight the Chinese court to the end regardless of life and death, but the truth was not the case. Even though most of the upper classes of the Qing Dynasty opposed the Chinese court, at least a small part refused to sacrifice their lives for the Qing Dynasty.

A group of people led by Ding Juren and Luo Xiucai handed over the land and were honest and obedient. Huo Chong did not cut off the face of these people and formed a literary and historical museum to give these people the opportunity to work within the system.

Their work in the literature and history museums is to search for ancient books and give some results for the topics proposed. For example, the study of the Qing Dynasty law really made them something.

The "Great Qing Laws" was a process of "refined translation of Ming Laws and participating in the national system" after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, starting from the first year of Shunzhi, "refined translation of Ming Laws and participating in the national system", and began to formulate the code. Through the efforts of Shunzhi, Kangxi and Yongzheng, the codes gradually matured. The most systematic and representative written codes of the Qing Dynasty were completed. After that, until the legal reform in the late Qing Dynasty, the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty did not change, and the adjustment of the legal system in the Qing Dynasty was mainly carried out through the form of additions and modifications.

When the Qing rulers entered the pass, in order to maintain social stability in the occupied areas, they extended the legal system applicable outside the pass to the pass and ordered all yamen to use it. In June of the first year of Shunzhi (1644), the regent Prince Heshuorui Dorgon issued an edict: "All yamen should be responsible for crimes, and they all follow the old system of this dynasty and are not allowed to use sticks."

This legal system used to rule a corner of Manchuria is too simple. Shunzhi himself also said: "I only Taizu, Taizong started his business in the East, and the people were pure and simple. In addition to the great scheming, there were only whipping."

Such a simple legal system obviously cannot meet its social needs for the newly occupied Central Plains region, which is dominated by the Han people.

The disadvantages of the old law were revealed before it was implemented, "The stupid people do not know what to guard, and the evil people are all concerned about." In response to this situation, Liu Yindong, the inspector of Shuntian, wrote a letter to the public in June when he selected officials: "It is because he heard that the emperor's teachings did not abolish the five punishments. The whipping is not enough to threaten the public. The reason for the clear punishment is that the law is to be enforced. It is advisable to quickly formulate laws and orders, so that the people dare not violate them, and the disaster will be clear." After the book, Dorgon, Prince Heshuorui, who was in charge of internal and external affairs of the Qing Dynasty, quickly responded: "After that the officials committed stolen money, they were executed immediately. The whipping seemed to feel that they were too lenient. Since then, they were asked about the punishment, and they were allowed to follow the "Ming Law" and the deputy sentence was not intended to be punished."

At this point, the legal system of the Qing Dynasty gradually shifted from using the old laws outside the Pass to temporarily using the Ming Law during the period.

From a time perspective, Huo Chong is also facing such a stage, so Huo Chong has to admit that if he has legal considerations on Yang Wangfu's issue, it will be timely and meaningful.

However, Huo Chong did not think that Yang Wangfu had such a level of understanding of his second apprentice.

When his mood calmed down, Huo Chongcai said: "This time this time, several county magistrates represented by Song Qingkun said that they had no meaning. It was because the people below made a mistake. We cannot know what they were thinking in their hearts, so we cannot deal with them directly. Because there is no legal basis. But when it comes to discipline, they tell the news to their relatives in the village and to their relatives. Is it considered a leak?"

Yang Wangfu was shocked and immediately stopped talking.

Huo Chong looked at the others, and everyone was also shocked. Huo Chong continued, "Those guys who killed people said that they were going to stand up for the county magistrates. Because the working group slashed the county magistrates' face and made the county magistrates lose their chances of promotion. Do you think what they said is the truth?"

"Of course not!" Qian Qing spoke. The cold voice recalled the house, and felt even more murderous.

But in such murderous aura, the members seemed to be injected with vitality and criticized the bullies in the village. "What the elder sister said is that these people just want to find someone to take care of the situation."

"Yes! They just want to pull people to take the back, it's so hateful!"

"Why are Song Qingkun ours? How could he ask the subordinates to kill our own people!"

...

Everyone's attitude was very clear. If they wanted to kill Song Qingkun or the people in Xiatou Village, of course, everyone would have to keep Song Qingkun and others, and let the guys who were killing people be killed to death.

Huo Chong was helpless and patted the table. Everyone calmed down. Huo Chong continued: "For this matter, if Song Qingkun can abide by discipline and not say anything that shouldn't be said, will the matter be so turbulent? So in terms of discipline, we must not be considered as Song Qingkun and others without responsibility! We have to punish it! Also, if you think Song Qingkun and others can have nothing to do, I advise you not to think too much, and there will be no less responsibility. There will definitely be records in the archives. If this matter is just over, it is impossible!"

"...Sir, do you want to kill Song Qingkun?" Yang Wangfu asked the core question.

"If they were investigated, they were accomplices. Together they were murdering people, and the crime was a little more serious! If they didn't, they could not kill them." Huo Chong answered the question, feeling very unhappy. But he had to say this. After saying this, Huo Chong continued: "What I want to talk about now is another thing, that is, the follow-up. If there is such a thing, I think I have to kill some. Because knowing the law and knowing the law, the crime is a little more serious. Do you have any objections?"

No one said anything, so no one supported it.

Huo Chong was under tremendous pressure, but continued: "Because Song Qingkun and the others probably wouldn't consider killing people, but later the working group was killed like this. Those county magistrates knew that such a thing would happen, which led to someone being killed. You said that they were not for the purpose of killing people, or that they did not intentionally indulge in killing people. I don't believe it! I really can't believe it! Song Qingkun and the others have no discipline. This time they explain the discipline clearly, what does it mean to not say, and what they shouldn't say! Remember it clearly! This is discipline. Keep secret discipline..."

The meeting ended in a low mood for everyone. As soon as Yang Wangfu came out, he was called by Qian Qing. Facing his cousin, Yang Wangfu still had some instinctive awe.

Qian Qing took Yang Wangfu to her office and asked, "I have beaten you before, haven't you forgotten?"

"...I haven't forgotten." Yang Wangfu replied discouragedly. Speaking of being beaten, although Yang Wangfu wanted to get back the scene, he couldn't do it. Not only was the force of force, but Qian Qing's aura made Yang Wangfu unable to confront him overwhelmingly.

Qian Qing shouted unhappily: "You are just impure. Sir is already tolerant enough. Don't treat yourself as a person like Song Qingkun, they are not good people!"

Yang Wangfu tried hard to maintain his mood, "I think... they are not bad either."

"I knew you were going to say this. Come on, show me." Qian Qing said as he took out the paper and started writing on it. After writing for a while, he asked Yang Wangfu, who was standing opposite him to stand behind him and let him look at the content he wrote.

Yang Wangfu initially resisted a little, but as he looked, his face changed.

After Qian Qing finished writing, he asked Yang Wangfu to sit beside him and pointed at the explanation one by one. During the explanation, he added the questions raised by Yang Wangfu and wrote them on paper.

After finishing everything, Yang Wangfu looked unbelievable. Qian Qing did not scold him anymore, but said, "Just ask those bastards according to what I gave you. By the way, memorize it first! Don't ask me with the paper."

"They... are really like this?" Yang Wangfu was very puzzled.

Two days later, Yang Wangfu appeared in front of Song Qingkun. Song Qingkun was already tearfully talking about his being cheated by people, and the group of people at the bottom made Song Qingkun unclear. After Song Qingkun finished speaking, Yang Wangfu tried to say in a gentle tone: "What are the benefits of them? Let me be honest, I can speak to you for you."

Hearing that he still had a chance, Song Qingkun quickly said, "Battery Commander, although those people are not things, they are at least working hard. They pay enough when collecting taxes. You also know how troublesome they are to collect taxes. Every time they pay public grain, all kinds of things happen. At least they pay enough every time."

When Yang Wangfu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. But he tried his best to ask with a gentle attitude: "Then don't you know that they are actually collecting rent?"

"Well……"

"To be honest, to be honest. It's useless for you to tell me lies. Those people were arrested and interrogated. They said a lot."

Song Qingkun was angry on his face and asked quickly: "What did they say?"

Yang Wangfu almost said something casually, but discipline made Yang Wangfu stop his words.

After thinking about it, Yang Wangfu looked at the people around him again. He felt strange in his heart.

The people around him handle the case, and in a sense they are also supervising Yang Wangfu. However, considering what Huo Chong said, these people can also prove Yang Wangfu's innocence at critical moments. After all, Yang Wangfu knows that he can't do such things.

So Yang Wangfu sighed: "They said you know, you know everything. They also said that it was all instructed by you!"

"Don't let it go!" Song Qingkun was furious and cursed. The scolding took him a long time. Yang Wangfu's heart became colder and colder. The things he expressed in the scolding of the guy opposite was different. At least, Song Qingkun was annoyed and afraid.
