The ancients punished thieves - learn small stories every day and understand the great wisdom of the ancients

Hello everyone, I am familiar with the ancient Text Xiaobai, today we come together to see a story of the ancient people's strange punishment and crime, I hope you like it.

It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, an official named Li Feng was sent to Yanling as a county order, and the local security was not very good, and after many county orders, they were not improved, but after increasing the punishment, the law and order were worse. After Li Feng took office, he did not rectify the military service, second, he did not promulgate new punishments, and even if he caught violating the law, he did not receive prison and cane punishment, so how did he do it?

This new county order has come up with a strange punishment method, all criminals are allowed to wear a bright green turban, and there is no county order, eating and drinking Lasa can not be taken off, at the same time, according to the severity of the crime, decide the number of days that the prisoner wears a green turban, and the period can only be taken off after the expiration of the period. Oh my God, this is a green turban, equivalent to a green hat, once caught in a crime, but publicly announced that he was green, this is a man can not accept ah. Therefore, all those who are caught in crimes and travel with green turbans are ridiculed by the common people as the greatest shame in their lives.

So everyone reminded and advised each other not to commit crimes, and slowly the people of the whole city obeyed the law and lived in peace, and no one dared to commit crimes, so that the entire tax in Yanling was more than before.

In this way, until Li Feng resigned and left office, there were no major public security problems in the whole city, and Li Feng himself did not punish individual personnel for committing crimes.

Comment: Sometimes going the other way can have unexpected effects.
