"good."
Fu Bi nodded and said thoughtfully: "I have long thought that your legal system is in line with the current judicial reform and neither is indispensable. However, just like in your class, I always feel that I have figured it out, but when it comes to legislation, I often feel confused. Now that I hear you say this, it seems very simple and I should have thought of it."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Perhaps Lord Fu is used to the idea that virtue is the main thing and punishment is the auxiliary. When it comes to the issue of taxation, Lord Fu first considers the moral issue, so he is confused. It is obvious that the truth is on his side, but it is difficult to achieve. This is also the main problem of virtue being the main thing and punishment being the auxiliary.
Because morality requires self-cultivation, requires parents to set a good example, requires teachers to educate, and requires years of accumulation, while punishment is mainly coercive. Forcing others to abide by morality will inevitably result in the creation of a large group of hypocrites.
They don’t really think this way in their hearts, but they have to do it outwardly. It’s only because of the coercive nature of the punishment that many hypocrites emerge, but they are only forced to become hypocrites.”
"I see."
Fu Bi and Xu Zun said in unison.
They also knew that the court was filled with a large number of hypocrites, but they had never thought about the role of the idea of "virtue as the main and punishment as the auxiliary" in it.
Zhang Fei continued, "But it's different if virtue is the main thing and law is the auxiliary. Everyone just needs to abide by a lower standard. It has nothing to do with morality. It's just that your virtue may bring you good rewards.
Take the tax issue for example. In fact, whether or not to pay taxes may not have a direct relationship with whether or not to support the elderly. Such legislation is only to give the government a reason to treat the people leniently, and it can also be regarded as an incentive.
...
...
The law can only guide people to observe morality, but it cannot force them to observe morality. If this could be forced, then Confucius would not have been strong. "
Fu Bi laughed and said, "I knew you had a lot of things hidden. You should continue to go to class."
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, I have talked about this concept in class, but!"
"It's just that we students are stupid."
“No, no, no!”
Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Zhang San definitely didn't mean that."
Fu Bi sighed and said, "But this is the fact. Your knowledge is really profound and we can only glimpse the tip of the iceberg."
In response, Zhang Fei just smiled embarrassedly.
For the ancients, this idea was indeed difficult to grasp in a short period of time. It required continuous research, and many common concepts had to be corrected.
But Fu Bi did not have much time left. Wang Anshi would not wait for him to legislate. Wang Anshi did not think that this matter would succeed at all.
After Han Jiang took office at the Sinong Temple, he immediately went to the police station to find Cao Ping, but the answer he got surprised Han Jiang.
"What?"
Han Jiang frowned and said, "Isn't this matter under the jurisdiction of the deputy commander?"
Cao Ping nodded and said, "The government has handed this matter over to my son to take care of."
Han Jiang's mouth twitched, "Then shouldn't it be handed over to the deputy commander?"
How could I, Old Han, not know about this market situation?
“No, no, no!”
Cao Ping shook his head repeatedly: "I didn't ask about this matter, I left it all to my son."
"real?"
"Um."
Han Jiang was dumbfounded when he saw that Cao Ping didn't seem to be joking.
He had also heard of Cao Dongdong's reputation as a pure playboy. How could Zhao Xu possibly entrust such an important task to Cao Dongdong?
Outrageous!
But since Cao Ping said so, and said it so seriously, Han Jiang had no choice but to find Cao Dongdong.
"Dongdong has met Uncle Han."
Cao Dongdong bowed very obediently. This guy is quite good at acting nice in front of his elders.
Han Jiang saw Cao Dongdong, and he felt mixed emotions. I am the Minister of State Affairs, but I came to discuss things with a little kid. What kind of thing is this? He asked, "Dong'er, the government has entrusted the matter of hiring servants to you. What are your plans?"
Cao Dongdong subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Cao Ping.
Cao Ping quickly turned his face away.
He had to avoid this matter. He knew what was going on. The conscription law was of great importance and there was a high possibility of something going wrong. If there was an accident, he could stay out of it and provide rescue from outside. If he got involved, both father and son would be finished.
"Dong'er?"
Seeing that Cao Dongdong remained silent for a long time, Han Jiang shouted again.
"ah?"
Cao Dongdong suddenly woke up, his eyes turned, "Confidential."
Han Jiang was surprised and said, "It's confidential."
Cao Dongdong nodded and said seriously: "This is the top secret of our police station and cannot be disclosed to outsiders."
Han Jiang's eyes flashed with anger. "I have to be responsible for dismissing the current police officers. Your police station must give me an answer. If I dismiss them, and you don't have any hired officers, what will you do in the meantime?"
Cao Dongdong said in a relaxed manner: "Uncle Han, don't worry about us, just do your job."
Don't care about you? Han Jiang was confused and looked at Cao Ping again.
Cao Ping immediately said, "I really don't know."
Han Jiang was furious at the father and son and asked again, "Deputy Superintendent Cao, do you really not need to worry about you?"
Cao Dongdong just shook his head and said, "No need."
Han Jiang nodded, and praised Cao Ping: "Deputy Commander, it is true that a tiger father will have a dog son."
I have never seen anything so amazing. There is no need for cooperation in this kind of thing.
Cao Ping couldn't even raise his head, and whispered, "Where! Where!"
Han Jiang said: "Okay, then Sinong Temple will not be in charge, let's each do our own thing."
"Why!"
Cao Dongdong nodded.
Han Jiang stood up and said goodbye.
After Cao Ping sent Han Jiang away, he asked anxiously, "Dong'er, what is this top secret? Can you tell Daddy?"
Cao Dongdong scratched his neck and said, "This is top secret, but Zhang San hasn't told the kid yet."
Bang!
"Eh? Yanei, are you practicing martial arts with others again?"
Zhang Fei looked at the left half of Cao Dongdong's face, "This should be a one-on-one fight against four people, right?"
Ma Xiaoyi was surprised and said, "Third brother, can't you see that this is Uncle Cao who slapped me? I tell you, Uncle Cao never slaps me in the wrong place, he always hits me in the same place."
"Xiao Ma, shut up!"
Cao Dongdong pushed Ma Xiaoyi away with one hand and complained to Zhang Fei: "This is all because of you."
Zhang Fei said innocently: "What does this have to do with me?"
Cao Dongdong said: "My uncle Han came to see me today and said that their Sinong Temple was going to prepare to dismiss those officials and asked me how my preparations were going."
Zhang Fei asked: "Then how did you say that?"
Cao Dongdong said: "You didn't tell me, so I can only say that this is our police station's top secret."
Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: "That's a good answer. Why did your father beat you?"
Cao Dongdong added: "But Uncle Han also said that their Sinong Temple must cooperate with our police station, so I can only say that we should each do our own thing."
"Each one's own?"
Zhang Fei’s eyes almost popped out.
Cao Dongdong nodded.
Zhang Fei said depressedly: "Why didn't your father beat you to death?"
Cao Dongdong said: "My father wouldn't dare to do that. My aunt would beat him to death."
"No. How can we do this kind of thing separately?"
"You didn't tell me, how would I know what to do?"
"Then just say you haven't made up your mind yet."
"That won't work."
Cao Dongdong said: "I, Cao Dongdong, don't want to save face? Uncle Han has just taken office and he is almost ready. I can't say that I am not prepared. But this is all your fault. You don't do your job. You just want me to renew the subscription all day long and also Zhang Daer's pen. Bah!"
Ma Xiaoyi squatted up again and said, "Third brother, don't blame me for getting angry. What you did was really unkind. Let's not talk about brotherhood. It's only natural to take money from others and help them get rid of disasters. You don't care about it at all. I won't help you this time."
"that is!"
Cao Dongdong said, "I spend hundreds and thousands of Guan every year at your law firm. I have to come to you when I need something. During the holidays, Fan Da's family would send me some good wine, but your firm has never sent me even a piece of paper. When I go to your house to play, I have to bring my own mahjong."
"Stop!"
Zhang Fei raised his hand and said, "Yes, yes, I am wrong this time. It is my fault for not providing good service and causing injustice to these two distinguished guests."
This made him feel really embarrassed, and it was indeed against professional ethics.
Cao Dongdong winked at Ma Xiaoyi proudly, and then said: "We are brothers, so there is no need to apologize. The key is what should we do about this matter?"
Zhang Fei thought for a moment and said, "The positions that will be laid off in Sino-Agricultural Temple include those."
"I said last time that I didn't know."
"So you didn't ask about it these days?" Zhang Fei wondered.
Cao Dongdong was also puzzled: "I paid you to do this, and I still have to go and find out?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, yes, this is my fault again."
Ma Xiaoyi said casually: "In fact, it is mainly the Yaqian Yi, which everyone knows is to keep some valuables or help the court transport some valuable goods.
Third brother, you don’t know that many people in our police station are saying that they don’t want to do this job. If they are not careful and lose something, they will lose everything and their family will be ruined.”
Zhang Fei asked: "Really?"
Ma Xiaoyi nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Didn't Madam Gao's previous husband die because of the Yamen service?"
Cao Dongdong said with emotion: "Speaking of this Madam Gao, she has become more charming and attractive recently. I really shouldn't have agreed to you at that time. This is really the regret of my life."
When Gao Wenyin encountered such an incident, her mental state and complexion were not very good. After a year of recuperation, she is indeed more charming.
Zhang Fei said with a gloomy face: "Yanei, I broke the contract, the most I can do is to compensate you a little money."
Cao Dongdong said: "Who will dare to come to your office from now on?"
"Hey, Yanei, when did you become so smart?"
"I have always been very smart, otherwise, how could I spend so much money to hire you and buy you a woman? Do you think I am stupid? This is called raising an army for a thousand days and deploying it for a moment."
"That's true."
Zhang Fei was completely convinced, and asked with a smile: "Isn't this cool? You spend a little money and can throw anything at me, and you can even rant at me. Why don't you give me money and try it?"
Cao Dongdong chuckled and said, "It's quite refreshing."
Zhang Fei said: "The Yaqian Yi can do the same thing. We can just hire someone to do it and ask them to compensate us if something goes wrong. Why should we take on this responsibility and cause so much trouble?"
"Yes!"
Cao Dongdong's eyes lit up and he slammed the table, "Why don't we just hire someone to do it? Why didn't I think of this?"
Ma Xiaoyi scratched his head and said, "Third brother, I'm afraid this won't work. Whoever dares to do this job will have to pay compensation if something goes wrong. This is the imperial court's goods, and few people can afford it."
Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei again.
Zhang Fei said: "Our charity foundation can afford it."
