If you want to change an era, then changing people's concepts will play a decisive role in it.

Under the current Qing court rule, the Chinese people focus on traditional and conservative moral ethics. This concept is very stubborn in people's minds. If you want to make a change, you must have a plan and take steps. But how should you take this step? How can you not make people disgust or even resist this change? In this era, even the emperor dared not violate those traditional moral ethics. Ma De was just a governor. If one is not well grasped, it would be a disgrace and ending that it could not be more miserable. Therefore, Ma De has been letting it go for nature over the years, and while implementing his own policies, people should be enlightened by themselves, rather than actively promoting their values.

However, there are still opportunities. Before taking over Li Yuchang's case, Luo Xin told Ma De that he wanted to form a law firm to serve the collective enterprises she had and the relatively weak people. Although Ma De was not allowed to put these things into practice immediately out of concern for Luo Xin's body, it was precisely because of Luo Xin's proposal that Ma De thought of a breakthrough point.

At present, lawyers, also known as litigants, are commonly known as litigants. Because they are inverted in black and white, helping criminals collude with the government, etc., are very despised in most cases. However, this situation is not only caused by the litigants themselves, but also because of several other aspects: First, because many ordinary people cannot hire litigants in general, so litigants can only serve the rich in most cases, and out of a certain anti-rich mentality, they are rich in the rich.

The serving lawyers will naturally become accomplices of the crime; secondly, it is because at almost any time, the ethics followed by the law are different from those advocated by the public. When the two ethics conflict, the people always accuse the law of being unflexible, dogmatic, and indifferent due to their moral concepts that they often use as the criterion, and hope that officials can "sacrifice the law for justice". In this case, the lawyers who rely on the law to make a living naturally become people that the people do not like.

However, this concept of discrimination is not correct for Mad. At this stage, many of the actions of lawyers do not follow normal legal channels, but use many crooked ways to resolve cases, but the act of serving their employers and appearing in court to defend or accusing them in court is in line with their professional ethics. You must know that even in a criminal case, it is completely true that lawyers defend a person who knows he is guilty.

It is appropriate. Not only that, the lawyer does not have to feel conscientious condemnation for this. Because, if every lawyer hired by the defendant refuses to accept the case because he looks guilty, the defendant is as if he is convicted outside the court and therefore does not have the right to be formally tried by the law... If a lawyer refuses to defend a client because he believes that he is guilty, then the lawyer mistakenly embezzles the powers that should be the judge.

Therefore, Ma De wanted to change the judicial system of China that has always been arbitrary by officials in China by shaping a new type of lawyer, that is, the profession of lawyers, and at the same time, change people's concepts and print the words "right" and "legal system" into people's minds. Of course, Ma De also knew that with the power of his own few people, at most it could only start, but a good start can well predict future success.

Ma De not only wanted to change his lawyers to lawyers, but also wanted to change the concept of social unstableness through lawyers in China's feudal dynasty's always thought. He invoked lawyers who were proficient in the law into various industries, and put everything under the law. Everything is based on the law, and increase people's concept of rule of law. This should not be considered a bad thing for a country at least. In addition, Ma De had another idea in his heart.

I hope that when the Chinese people's forces grow and grow, they can use the law to pronounce the verdict: imperial power is a thing that violates the law! He even hopes that one day, the Chinese people can send their king Charles I to the guillotine, just like the British, and send the emperor who dares to infringe on the interests of the people. Of course, this is just a somewhat vague hope for Made. If he wants to complete it, he still doesn't know how much preparation he needs to make, but he really thinks so.

...

Not to mention what "scandal" plan Ma De was secretly posing, another hornet's nest was opened in the palace of the prince in Beijing. No matter how brave Gao Shiqi and the other two were, they were not as good as they dared to hide this matter from Kangxi. Therefore, they didn't care that Kangxi had just gone to rest, and the three ministers in the study started arguing him again. Ma De originally wanted to leave, but Gao Shiqi called him together. However, what was unexpected was that Ma De almost hated this old man Gao for such a trivial matter.

"The national treasury is deficient, the national army is deficient, the national treasury is deficient...!?"

After receiving the report from Gao Shiqi and others, Kangxi immediately lost his temper. He held the official document from the capital with his hand, and walked around the room like a furious lion. Moreover, he also said "the national treasury deficit" several times. Every time he said it, his anger increased a little. By the end, his angrily roar could almost overturn the entire roof!

"Officials ignore the needs of the court, and borrowing debts becomes a trend. The silver that the court earns every year is difficult to cover this number... Over the years, officials have accumulated owes 40 million taels of silver to the treasury... In this way, if there is a major event, the court will inevitably be in danger, and even a country will become a country in trouble! Well said, well said!... Gao Shiqi!"

Kangxi suddenly shouted loudly.

"I'm here!" Hearing Kangxi's roar full of anger, Gao Shiqi was shocked, and hurriedly shook his horse's hooves and fell to the ground with a "plop".

"Do you know this matter... do you know the guilt?" Kangxi shouted angrily.

"I know the crime!" Gao Shiqi's expression darkened and kowtowed and replied.

"Okay, okay, okay! Since you know your sins, come!" Kangxi shouted loudly outside the house again.

"Please give me the order!" Four imperial guards in yellow jackets rushed in from outside the house, leaned on one knee, and kowtowed to Kangxi.

"I'm here!" Zhang Tingyu bowed beside him and responded. The two colleagues were arrested at the same time, but he didn't do anything and his face was still calm, as if it was nothing to do with him.

"Immediately draft the decree: Wu Jiamo, Minister of Revenue, Chen Xijia, Left Minister of Revenue, and You Mingtang, the right Minister of Revenue, are friends and friends, causing the national treasury to be deficient, and the country's savings for many years are empty, and the crime is unforgivable. I will be dismissed immediately and handed over to the three judicial departments for strict investigation! All the family and young will be sent to Ulya Sutai!" Kangxi said gritting his teeth.

"Your Majesty, I dare not obey the order!" Zhang Tingyu replied with his head raised.

"What did you say?" Kangxi glared at Zhang Tingyu and said furiously. Not only Kangxi, but Ma De also opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhang Tingyu, incredibly surprised. Isn't this Zhang Tingyu a famous emperor's soundtrack? Why did it suddenly block it? Or did it block when Kangxi was furious!

"Okay! It seems that he is still a master!" Ma De glanced at Zhang Tingyu and gave a thumbs up secretly. He dared to do this when Kangxi was angry. No matter what his idea was, Zhang Tingyu's courage was indeed extraordinary.

"Emperor, the national treasury is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Wu Jiamo and You Mingtang both took office shortly after taking office. Even if they were suspected of being in a misunderstanding, they would not be unforgivable. Although Chen Xijia has been in the Ministry of Revenue for many years, he is only the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue and does not fully take charge of the Ministry of Revenue. Even if he is guilty, it is not unforgivable! Moreover, the empress thinks that at this time, the emperor should stabilize the court rather than discuss the crimes on a large scale! This will only make all civil and military officials who borrow money feel fear. Moreover, the money of the treasury still needs to be cleaned up. Wu Jiamo and the three of them are familiar with the operation of the Ministry of Revenue and keeping them in office will help clear the treasury." Zhang Tingyu said slowly.

"You mean, I can only watch those worms from the country embezzle the treasury, but I can't do anything?" Kangxi said angrily.

"Emperor, I know that you are angry, and I am the same as the emperor. But the emperor does not blame everyone! I think the most important thing at this time is to take this opportunity to quickly recover all the silver lost from the treasury! This is much more important than rectifying those officials." Zhang Tingyu said again.

"..." Kangxi looked with a face and didn't say anything. He just sat in his seat and stared at the ground coldly. Seeing him like this, Zhang Tingyu didn't say anything, but stayed obediently with Ma De, without saying a word.

...

"Ma De!" Kangxi didn't think about it for long, and after a while, he raised his head again. However, the person he was asking about was not Zhang Tingyu.

"I'm here!" Who am I provoking whom? Why do I look for me? Ma De bent down to Kangxi and cursed his mother secretly.

"The national treasury is so deficient, I want to ask you how the situation is in the vassal treasury in the south of the Yangtze River." When Kangxi said this, his expression had already soothed.

"Report to the emperor, the slaves in the two provinces of Jiangsu and Jiangxi have not yet been investigated, so I dare not say much. As for the Anhui vassal treasury, there is no shortage!" Ma De replied.

"Oh? Are you talking about it true? The national treasury has almost no remaining funds, and the vassal treasurys in various places are deficits. You are a poor province in Anhui and have never asked the court for disaster relief funds for several years. How could you still be deficits?" Kangxi asked disbelief.

"Your Majesty, what I am telling the truth!" Ma De lowered his head.

"Hmph, the truth!?Ma De, don't be like Gao Shiqi and others to deceive the emperor." Kangxi said in a deep voice.

"I dare not deceive the king. The emperor, there is no shortage of the Anhui vassal treasury. I dare to guarantee my life with my wealth and life!" Ma De bowed and replied.

"Okay. Since you said that, I will send someone to Anhui to clean up first and see if what you said is true! People come!" Kangxi called out again, and then, the four imperial guards just now came in again.

"I sent an order to send the order to Anhui, the fourth prince Yinzhen and the thirteenth prince Yinxiang, to be responsible for investigating the Anhui vassal treasury! Officials from all over Anhui obey their orders and must not violate them!" Kangxi ordered.

"Zhe!" Oh no, this is not our mission! The four imperial guards secretly blamed themselves for being too excited and broke in without clarifying the situation. However, since Kangxi didn't say anything, he had to play a guest role in the eunuch.

"Made!" After the four guards retreated, Kangxi said to Made again.

"Sister is here!" Ma De bowed and responded.

"Do you know your guilt?" Kangxi suddenly asked coldly again.

"Your Majesty, this... I don't understand!" Hearing Kangxi's tone, Ma De hurriedly bent his knees and knelt down.

"Don't understand? Humph, I think you are pretending to be confused for me. You suggested that Wei Dongting and others repay the debts owed by the court two years ago. Isn't it because you had expected this? You not only have vision, but also can sell favors for national affairs. I think you are really amazing!" Kangxi said in a sinister voice.

"Your Made, this..." Ma De wanted to slap himself hard! It's so bad! His cleverness was just mistaken for his cleverness! I didn't expect that he would even sell himself in the first place. Miscalculation, miscalculation!

"What? Do you have something to say? Then I will listen!" Kangxi snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say... I know the crime!" Ma De said. Even Gao Shiqi and Ma Qi had no room to distinguish. Ma De would not think that he had such a great face as those two people. At this time, Kangxi obviously wanted to find a few punching bags. Who told me that he had encountered it? Let's admit defeat! The consequences of not knowing each other are very serious!

"Since you know the crime, then you can go find Gao Shiqi and Ma Qi as your companion!" Kangxi snorted coldly and said.

"Slaves obey the order!"
