Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 49: Prison (4)

The prison cell was a little more secure, and the situation was under control. He heard that Gu Wuchen had been moved from the boat to the prison hall. Lin Fu took Chang Sun Geng and others to the front yard to see Gu Wuchen. Out of the second wall, Changsun Geng saw that the others were pulling back a little bit. He walked quickly to Lin Bie's side and said in a low voice, "Lord Lin, the problem of the prison in the city is even more serious. I know a little about it..."

Lin Fu stopped and looked at Chang Sun Geng.

Chang Sun Geng is a scholar who has been admitted to Chongguan for 2 years. He is only 31 years old this year. He is as tall and thin as himself, and has a thin stature. Bieji didn't know how to explain to Changsun Geng.

Gu Wuchen came to Jiangning with a heavy responsibility. He took on the heavy responsibility of the Chu Party entrusting him to go to Jiangdong to control the situation. If it wasn't for Gu Wuchen's intention to reopen the prison city, and he needs to completely control and transform Jiangdao prison, he would never support such a big move here to carry out the prison cleaning operation.

There are many evil deeds in the city prison. Lin Fu has heard a lot from Zhang Yubo and Zhao Shuhan, and even many evil deeds happened under the sun. Take the **** suspect to make a deal with the city jail. As far as Jiangdao Prison is concerned, Gu Wuchen's intention is only to bring the former prisoner Ge Zuxin and other officials to justice. As for the other issues that Ge Zuxin explained, Gu Wuchen may keep a private record to blackmail some people. It will not be taken out to expand the implication.

Speaking of crimes, almost half of the officials in Jiangning City knew that Wang Xueshan, the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, had a hobby, that is, he liked to try female criminals in the direction of rape. Others may not know what Wang Xueshan is doing, but Zhang Yubo explained the mystery to Lin Fu after a drink: According to the law of Dayue, if a woman commits rape, she will be punished by moss and clothes in front of the court.

To put it bluntly, Wang Xueshan, the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, likes to watch the yamen take off the trousers of the female prisoners and beat the snow-white buttocks with rattan, so he did everything possible to convict the female prisoner for rape.

In order to satisfy Wang Xueshan's hobby, every year there are eight or ten female prisoners who die in the hall of the Jiangning Mansion.

"In this city of Jiangning, if all the officials in the city were dragged out and beheaded, there must be someone wronged. If they were to be beheaded every other person, a lot of people would have slipped through the net... You know that you scolded Jiangning Prefecture against the former director of Jiangdao prison. Whose hands do the prisoners and officials force prisoners to become prostitutes in the end?" Lin Fu stood under the old plum tree and looked at Chang Sun Geng. In Jiangdong's officialdom, although Chang Sun Geng was a junior official, he was an "alternative" He didn't want Changsun Geng to run into blood again, he sighed and said, "During the arrest of Ge Zuxin, Yang Dianwei found your written pleadings in his luggage. During the torture, Ge Zuxin said that you wrote a good handwriting. I kept your pleadings and brought them back to the countryside together..."

"..." Changsun Geng was stunned there, speechless, how could he have thought that such a great irony would be possible, catching up with Ge Zu and accepting him so far, still admiring his good handwriting? In the end, this world is clear and turbid, and there is no distinction between black and white. I am afraid that Ge Zu did not believe that forcing a prisoner to be a prostitute was such an evil deed! Lin Fu's words are also very clear, the official management is already a mess, and there is no doubt that one person's blood can turn the tide. Lin Fu does not support him to stab the bigger problems in front of Gu Wuchen. It is useless to stab Gu Wuchen. It's just the deputy inspector.

************

The watchman walked past the courtyard, and when it was midnight, the interrogation in the cell was still going on.

As for what other secrets can be revealed from Zhou Shide, Jiang Jin, Cao Sang and others, Lin Bie is not interested. People know how to judge, and Lin Fu did not let Zhang Sun Geng and others participate in the torture, and lent the place to Yang Pu and Ma Chao to take care of it.

The front yard of the prison hall was brightly lit. Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen sat opposite each other in front of the desk. There was a candlestick on the desk, drinking tea and talking. It was cold in the spring, and the plum branches and leaves in the courtyard were rustling in the wind. Just sitting in the room, I couldn't feel like I was in a heavily guarded high wall.

In the main hall, apart from Gu Wuchen and Lin Fu, only Yang Shishou was sitting at the table by the door.

Gu Wuchen was not in a hurry to leave the prison island and go back to the city that night. Lin Fu talked with him a lot about the idea of ​​​​using prisoners to treat prisoners, separate crimes and punish prisoners, and raise and use prisoners. These ideas are all prison management experiences that have not yet been summed up, and Lin Fu did not copy them completely from memory, but put forward some suggestions for improving prison management according to the situation.

After co-authoring "The Book of Prisons" with Zhao Shuhan, Lin Fu's suggestions for improving prison management are more authoritative. Otherwise, in this official atmosphere where everything is about seniority, other people's irrelevant words "no hair on the lips" will be a problem. Can lightly wipe out a lot of his efforts.

When Lin Fu thought of doing things on this prison island, he had to get the support of Gu Wuchen. First, he had to get Gu Wuchen's trust. But no matter how much Gu Wuchen trusted him, he couldn't ignore the rules of the officialdom. Otherwise, Gu Wuchen would definitely prefer Yang Pu or Ma Chao to come. To replace him to manage this Jiangdao prison.

A "Prison Mentioning Book" really laid a solid foundation for Lin Fu to replace his seniority.

"By treating prisoners with prisoners and by dividing their crimes, the prisoners can be recruited and used, and this is in line with the spirit of the criminal law of 'prisoners are punished for their crimes'," Lin Fu talked about his thoughts on governing prisons, and that he will be in prison. Some specific measures implemented on the island, "When the weather is a little warmer, I will send the prisoners to build a vegetable garden and a livestock shed on the periphery of the high wall. There are still a lot of empty cells in the cell at this time. It is useless, I thought. Take a prison cell and try it out as a workshop, buy some looms, make female prisoners work, and cut prison clothes in prison. You can also do some craftsmanship shop, wood work, iron work, etc., all within the high wall. No need to worry about escaping from prison. I plan that within this year, with the exception of rice and rations that need to be collected from the Ministry of Public Affairs and Envoys, all other materials will be self-sufficient as much as possible. It is entirely possible to use prisoners to do it. The money saved can not only be used to improve the livelihood of the officers and soldiers, but if the inspector needs support, one or two can also be transferred... If there are surplus manpower in the prison, the prison island The products produced can be sold to the city. I think that the raw materials for production will be pre-supplied by Jiyun Club at this time, and the products produced in other days will be handed over to Jiyun Club to be sold and converted to the previous paragraph, as long as the prison island is controlled and cleaned up If it doesn't change, if you want to come to Master Jia, you won't have any opinions."

Gu Wuchen nodded as he listened. He was not a person who stuck to the law, and he was sufficiently aware of reality.

Forcing female prisoners to become prostitutes in official kilns and prostitutes was not a big deal in this dynasty. It was a common practice for prisoners in large prisons to work hard labor in official and private workshops. Lin Bie wanted to set up a workshop on the prison island, but he took a little step forward on these foundations, and Gu Wuchen had nothing unacceptable.

In the future, the prison city will be implemented on a large scale, with thousands or even tens of thousands of people in prison. In addition to guard supervision, the supply of prison city will become the biggest problem.

Prisoner's food, prisoner's clothes, prison cell repairs, prisoner's staff's food and silver, torture tools and instruments, medicine and many other items of money and silver, plus deductions in each link, the amount of money allocated to each prisoner's head is almost equal to each prisoner's head. At the level of 10 taels of silver, even if the prison city in the future reaches a prison scale of 2,000 people, it will cost 20,000 silver every year.

The powers of the inspector and envoy are quite large, but even if he cannot manage the money, the money that he can freely spend every year is only 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver. This is not comparable to the Admiral's Mansion, let alone the Minister of Xuanfu Envoy, who directly manages money and food. In the future, if others object to the prison city's proposal, just one sentence "money will solve it yourself" can completely block Gu Wuchen's retreat.

Although the prison guards in the city's large prisons earn more than 20,000 taels of silver every year from exploiting prisoners, Gu Wuchen can't make public anger and let the people spit out the money and use it on the prison city, right?

If Lin Fu couldn't make these suggestions, Gu Wuchen would feel that he was useless. In addition to his fame, this is precisely what makes Lin Fu far stronger than Yang Pu, Ma Chao, Yang Shi and others.

Of course, at this time, Jiyun Club will supply raw materials to Prison Island. In the future, the products produced by Prison Island will be handed over to Jiyun Club for unified sales. Jiyun Club will naturally be able to make profits. Gu Wuchen is very clear about this. In his opinion, Lin Fu After all, there is some selfishness, and this is fine. Those who have no selfishness at all are the most difficult to control. Besides, his Gu family also takes one thousand taels of silver from Jiyun Club every year. Of course, these thousand taels of silver will not be born out of thin air.

"Okay, you dare to act on the prison island. As long as I am in Jiangning one day, you will be the master of the prison island..." Gu Wuchen held the table in his hand, and after hearing Lin Bie's words, he really felt that the prison island was There was nothing to tell him any more. Speaking of comprehensiveness, Lin Bie was more comprehensive than he thought, and he felt a little lost when he said it. When it comes to literature, there are not a few people in Jiangning who are better than Lin Fu; when it comes to the study of the world, Gu Wuchen has never seen a better young man than Lin Fu. Before Lin Fu took the "Living Prison Book", Gu Wuchen felt that Lin Fu was taking Zhao Shuhan as a step, but now in his heart, Zhao Shuhan still has the knowledge to help the world, and there is still a gap between Lin Fu and Lin Fu.

"I have an unkind request..." Lin Fu said.

"You said." Gu Wuchen said.

"Governing prisons is also a labor of guarding. Among them, the responsibility of guarding is especially heavy, and Lin Bie dare not or forget it. At present, the guards of the prison are really useless. If you use more people, you will spend money. The way of the dead is feasible, but the prison is heavy, and the matter of the dead, I have to ask the adults to send someone to help me..."

"Oh..." Gu Wuchen was slightly startled, pondered for a moment, pointed to Yang Shi, who was sitting at the table at the door, and asked Lin Bie, "Is it possible for Yang Shi?"

Yang Shi sat on the side and hurriedly walked over to hear him talking about him.

"Brother Yang, just don't feel wronged." Lin Fu raised his head and looked at Yang Shi. Speaking of which, Yang Shi's father, Yang Pu, felt better about him. What happened in Shiliang County made Yang Shi always have a grudge against him, but Lin Fu knew that he was not qualified to choose someone.

Generally speaking, the prison guards will be used for a long time in the prison, but the guards are still in the nature of the military in the final analysis. In name, they are even under the dual jurisdiction of the police and the military and the Jiangning government. It is difficult for Lin Fu to completely to control.

Besides, there is no unreserved trust in the world in the first place. Rather than sending other military attachés who are completely ignorant of the basics, it is better to let Gu Wuchen directly install another trusted friend. Lin Fu also made it clear that he wanted to practice the way of elite soldiers on the prison island. The troops that the chasing envoy can directly control is very limited. The number of three or five hundred elite divisions seems to be small. Gu Wuchen may not want to directly control his own hands. .

"Yang Shi, what do you think?" Gu Wuchen also looked up at Lin Fu.

"Follow your instructions," Yang Shi said.

Although being with Gu Wuchen will bring more benefits, he doesn't really want to greed for those benefits. Besides, with his father at Gu Wuchen's command, there is no benefit, and his family is indispensable. He wants to do something more than just follow him. Gu Wuchen ran in front of him and behind him.

"Well, tomorrow your father will come back with me, you will just stay, and I will make up for the transfer order after I go back," Gu Wuchen decided, but he was also afraid that Yang Shi's youthful vigour would compete with Lin Bie on the prison island, at least this At that time, he completely trusted Lin Fu, and believed that Lin Fu was far better than Yang Shi in presiding over the overall situation of the prison island, and he also bluntly warned Yang Shi, saying, "But you must know that although Lin Fu is only one year older than you, his knowledge, You are much stronger than you, you have to learn from him, don't imitate Si Yuan's stubborn temper. If Lin Fu thinks you are not suitable, I will transfer you back to the city at any time..."

"Yang Shi remembered." Yang Shi nodded and said. Even if he has a bad impression of Lin Fu, Yang Shi at least knows that although Lin Fu is young, he is a person who is qualified to sit down with Gu Wuchen in terms of economics and talent. He sat down in the middle of the night and listened to Lin Fu talking there. Gu Wuchen nodded again and again. On the prison island, he still knows who is the main and who is the auxiliary.
