Chapter 418

Merton arched his hand at Han Zheng and said, "in Mojia village, the court has two purposes, one is to deal with disputes within Mojia village, and the other is to solve disputes outside Mojia village."

"External disputes!" Han Zheng immediately frowned. The reason why he was willing to come to Mojia village was that Merton promised independent judicial power, but he didn't want Legalists to become Mojia thugs.

When Morton saw this, he immediately understood Han Zheng's mind and quickly explained, "master, don't misunderstand. Boy means that the court is responsible for checking the entrance of Mojia village. The contracts signed by Mojia village conform to the laws of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, he popularizes law knowledge for Mojia children, so that they can understand the law, abide by the law, and even use the law."

Han Zheng stood up and shouted, "what a person who understands, understands, abides by and uses the law. These eight characters are deeply rooted in the essence of Legalists."

In his opinion, these eight words are comparable to Merton's 16 words of judicial independence. Most ordinary people don't even know a big character, let alone understand the law. Sometimes they don't even know that they break the law, let alone abide by the law, or defend themselves with the law.

In his opinion, Confucianism's pursuit of fool's education is probably the biggest obstacle to legalism. How many people in the whole Tang Dynasty can really read the laws of the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid only Mojia village, which pursues compulsory education and night schools, is the best place to publicize law popularization.

"This is what I should do." Han Zheng said with a slight slowing of his face.

"Of course, if the children of the Mohists have a lawsuit outside, I'm afraid they need Legalists to defend the Mohist village." Merton paused and added, "of course, it's within the scope allowed by the law of the Tang Dynasty."

Han Zheng solemnly promised: "it's natural. Since I'm in the Mohist village, I won't sit back and watch the Mohist children suffer injustice, but I'm afraid I'm too weak because I have only one person!"

Merton smiled. He knew that this was Han Zhengzheng's important person, and said in the slightest Indifference: "Since Mojia village promises that the Legalists will independently rule on the affairs of Mojia village, it will not interfere with the internal affairs of the court. If Mr. Han has other like-minded people, please come. If not, it doesn't matter. Quchi square master's college and medical college in Chang'an city are being built. I wonder if Mr. Han is willing to be a neighbor with them."

Han Zheng was ecstatic and said, "what do you mean?"

"Mohists can build a law school in Quchi square. Anyway, it's just to build more schools." Merton said quietly.

"Welcome brother han to join Quchi square." Hua Yuan warmly invited him.

Master Li smiled bitterly when he heard the speech. That's what Merton told him at that time. As a result, he suddenly fell into it.

"Law school!" Han Zheng immediately trembled with excitement. So far, there is only Guozijian, which teaches law in the whole Tang Dynasty, and there are few law talents trained in a year. If Legalists have their own college and train Legalists, Han Zheng can't help himself at the thought of this phenomenon.

"But even if you study the law, what's the use of not being able to enter officialdom? How many people are willing to study the boring law." Han Zheng suffers from Taoism.

Merton shook his head and said, "master, this is wrong. Even if you don't enter officialdom, learning law still has broad uses. Not to mention that most people don't understand the law and don't know the law, so when they fight a lawsuit, they are confused and often lose in a mess, but what if someone helps them fight a lawsuit?"

Han Zheng frowned and said, "you are saying that all the students trained by the college are litigants."

Litigants are the contempt of Datang for some people who help people to bring a lawsuit. Usually, these people are often not welcomed by the county government, and they often pit the plaintiff and the defendant, which has a very bad reputation.

Merton shook his head and said, "how can those litigants be real Legalists? What the law school has trained is real Legalists. They can use the law of the Tang Dynasty to truly redress the grievances and bring the evil to justice. At the same time, they can also supervise the officials to corrupt and pervert the law and misinterpret the law."

The more Merton says, the brighter Han Zheng's eyes are. Some officials bend the law for personal gain, relying on the people's ignorance of the law. If someone understands the law, I'm afraid no arrogant person dare to bend the law openly. If a legalist who is proficient in the law is on the side of the wronged, he must use the law to get justice for the wronged.

"In addition, some big businessmen may also need these people who are proficient in the law. Far from it, take shopkeeper Xu Jieshi for example. If there were people proficient in the law around him in those years, it would not be a complete failure in a short time." Merton pointed to Xu Jie.

In those years, Xu Jie was oppressed by the king's family. More importantly, he was caught in the trap of the contract. He was also extremely passive in the law. Only then did he succeed by the king's family.

Xu Jie said with a bitter smile, "if I could go back to the past, I would like to invite ten litigants to draft the contract in case I repeat it."

"Other students can't guarantee that if the law school trains legalist talents, Mojia village will guarantee all employment in the previous periods." Merton patted his chest and said.

With the increasing number of things in Mohist village, various disputes must continue in the future, and Mohist's status is embarrassing. In the future, there will be no lack of cold shots and hidden arrows. Merton has long had the idea of establishing a lawyer group for later generations

Han Zheng thought in his heart that the more he thought about it, the more feasible it would be. If Mojia village took the lead in using Legalists, Legalists might be able to go another way.

"In addition, students believe that the reason why Legalists are not popular is also related to legalist music and high and low. People don't understand the law, which doesn't mean that people don't need the law. Why can't Legalists take the initiative to publicize legalist thought?" Merton said.

"Active propaganda?" Han Zheng was stunned. Legalists have always been relying on the power of the emperor to implement the law from top to bottom, and never thought of spreading Legalists from bottom to top.

Merton nodded: "the distribution scope of Ink magazine has spread to Luoyang along with brick road. The circulation of each magazine has exceeded 50000 copies, and I'm afraid the number of readers will be several times this. I don't know whether Han Fuzi is willing to open up a legal column in Ink magazine. He specially popularizes some classic cases and Legalist knowledge for the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"Legal column!" Han Zheng breathed suddenly, and Merton's move could be said to be very tempting.

"Mo magazine welcomes brother han to join us." Master Li said that with Han Zheng's participation, the audience and readability of Mo magazine will be greatly improved, which will be of great benefit to Mo magazine.

Han Zheng narrowed his eyes, looked at Master Li sharply and said, "it's better to join the ink magazine. I don't know if brother Li has the courage to publish some unjust, false and wrong cases."

Master Li is called a strange Confucian. Isn't it precisely because of his bold behavior that he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "why don't you dare? It's my lifelong wish to ask for orders for the people."

They looked at each other and laughed loudly at the same time.

Merton smiled bitterly. One was bold and the other was jealous of evil. Merton really didn't know that something would happen if they worked together.
