Great Tang princess

Chapter 747 Progressive Laws

After the official release of the policy of distributing the land to the mu, the response from the people was more intense than expected.

In just three days, the Jinwu Guard and Dali Temple reported that there were cases of mob riots in several villages.

But the police and the Jinwu Guard all followed the regulations and warned repeatedly, but they dispersed some of the rioters.

It's just that this policy of distributing the land into the mu is tantamount to digging out the roots of the gentry, so many people fooled the peasants and carried out large-scale gatherings, and there were violent acts.

In this case, the Jinwu Guard had no other choice but to chop people with a knife.

After all, the peasants have never been educated, and their brains are not very smart, and it is not too simple for those gentry to fool them.

In the cabinet meeting room a few days later, Li Yuechen, Minister of the Ministry of War, also attended.

When she heard the bloodshed, she frowned tightly.

Things that I thought could be easily resolved, did not expect to encounter this level of resistance.

But this is not the fault of the farmers, after all, they are also being fooled.

In essence, the purpose of distributing the land into the mu is to reduce the burden on the farmers. If no one is fooling around, how can they not understand the good and bad of it.

Zhang Jianzhi, who was sitting on the main seat, also had some headaches, and put down the memorial in his hand.

"A similar situation happened in Chang'an, how do you think it should be resolved?"

As soon as these words came out, the cabinet meeting room immediately fell into silence.

People on the opposition side did not agree with this matter, and now this kind of thing happened is exactly what they want to see.

So each of them looked up at the sky, or frowned tightly, pretending to be thinking about countermeasures, but actually wanted to see the reaction here.

And the pro faction couldn't come up with a good solution. Although Wu Chengsi and others agreed with this, in the end they were just the emperor's lackeys, and their IQs couldn't reach that level at all.

Seeing that they were silent, Li Yuechen said: "In the final analysis, the literacy rate of the people is not enough, which makes the people easy to be deceived. My opinion is to send people directly to the villages to conduct propaganda, answer the questions raised by the farmers, and make this policy Fully explained."

The proposal put forward by the princess has no objection so far.

So Zhang Jianzhi nodded: "Then follow what His Highness said."

I thought this matter would be settled so happily, but after only five days, new news came.

In the Princess Mansion, Shangguan Wan'er sat across from Li Yuechen and said: "The proposal proposed by His Highness has indeed solved some problems, but it is only in the vicinity of the Eastern Capital, and there are still violent resistance to the law in Chang'an and other places, and there are even three propagandists He was intercepted and killed on the road..."

Hearing the death of a low-level official, Li Yuechen felt an unknown fire in his heart.

This group of people is really bold enough to even dare to intercept and kill court officials on the road.

So Li Yuechen temporarily stopped the propaganda work, and informed the future propaganda personnel that they must be protected by the Jinwu Guard.

Considering that there may be more violent resistance to the law, or even killing people on the way, Li Yuechen asked the Jinwu Guard to have more entourage.

At the same time, she sent a few blueprints to the Academy of Engineering, and she wanted to equip these Jinwu Guards with brand new weapons.

The ax used as the standard weapon of the army is actually a special choice, because the enemy troops are all armored, and this ax is mainly used for armor-piercing purposes.

But it is impossible for these folks to have a lot of armor, which means that if the Jinwu Guard still uses an ax to deal with them, it will be a bit out of line with the environment.

After all, the blade of the ax is too short, so it is still not easy to chop people.

And this time, the blueprint that Li Yuechen sent to the Engineering Academy was a weapon specially used to cut down unarmored people.

The Nepal machete, because of its shape like a dog's leg, is also called a dog's leg knife.

This is a kind of recurved machete that subverts common sense. It has a heavy head, a light handle, and a wide belly.

Since they dared to rob and kill court officials halfway, don't blame the subordinates for being merciless.

Now the Academy of Engineering has a large number of simple machine tools, and it is not too simple to build a knife.

After receiving the drawings, I started working immediately. In just half a month, nearly [-] pieces were built.

Then these knives were distributed among the teams of Jinwu Guards.

Li Yuechen didn't ask about the follow-up matter, anyway, if there is a problem, it will definitely be reported.

Then I went to work on the World Cup finals and the closing ceremony.

This is the first World Cup, but because in this era, the overall structure of the world has not yet been fully formed, so there are not many countries participating.

After more than a month of fierce competition, Dazhou and Japan finally stood on the stage of the finals.

Japan was able to make it to the final mainly because it was too close to Dazhou geographically and communicated more frequently in normal times.

Even for this World Cup, the team was brought to Dazhou a year in advance, so that various clubs here could participate in training with them.

So it is not surprising that they were able to reach the final.

In the arena of the finals, Wu Zetian sat in his seat, looked at the players running in the arena, and asked casually: "Chen'er, I heard that the implementation of the policy of spreading money into the mother is not too smooth?"

"Don't worry about it, Auntie. It's just a group of grasshoppers after autumn." Li Yuechen answered softly, holding a teacup, "In the end, it's just because the peasants haven't read a book and are easy to be deceived. Once the propaganda work If it is in place, they will naturally have nothing to do.”

"Since you are sure of it yourself, then you don't have to ask questions as a mother." Wu Zetian nodded slightly and focused on watching the game.

……

The first World Cup finally won the championship by the big Friday to three. When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the audience stood up and cheered.

In this competition, all countries really showed their own style.

Although they are not very mature in tactics and tactics, they can already see some qualities of athletes from them.

At the same time, this also made the Da Zhou players, who were still a little arrogant, start to examine themselves calmly.

Although this time the game was won, it was not too easy to win.

If you don't continue to think about new tactics and tactics, and continue to improve yourself, it is very likely that you will be surpassed.

So they all secretly made up their minds that they must train well after returning to prevent themselves from becoming a stepping stone in the next World Cup.

After the finals, the closing ceremony followed.

The music of the goalkeeper's execution song sounded again in the audience, announcing the successful conclusion of the first World Cup.

And Wu Zetian, the emperor, personally awarded trophies to the teams standing on the championship podium.

At the same time, it also announced again that the World Cup will be held every four years in the future.

Although other countries don't quite understand why it is held every four years, but the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty said so, so we can only follow this.

In fact, once every four years is Li Yuechen's choice after careful consideration.

After all, with the development of the country in the future, the world pattern will gradually take shape, and there will be a Continental Cup.

Each country will also host its own Super League internally.

And what really makes football shine is not the World Cup, but the top super leagues.

Because the national team players of most countries are temporarily formed when participating in the World Cup, whether it is tacit understanding or cooperation, it is really not too high.

If you want to see real tactical cooperation, it must be in the world's top leagues.

Various detailed tactics will be arranged in these clubs, and the players of these clubs have been working with each other for a long time, and the tacit understanding can be said to be the highest.

The so-called World Cup is not so much an exchange in football, but an exchange and collision between various countries.

Yes, the World Cup can be seen as a diplomatic activity between countries.

Moreover, the World Cup itself is highly accidental due to its special selection of personnel, which means that the chance of an upset in the World Cup is many times higher than in the league.

The long league game cycle makes it easier to see the overall strength of a team.

……

The closing ceremony of the World Cup ended successfully, leaving a very deep impression on the audience who came to watch the game.

Especially for those foreign emissaries, not only the football itself, but also the music, the pitch, and the organizational skills.

Including economic issues behind gambling, as well as urban construction issues, etc...

Even with them participating in the battle against Tubo some time ago, they can see the overall level of national strength from behind.

What is visible or invisible to the naked eye is what really surprises them.

It can be said that for these foreign envoys, the current Dazhou has embarked on a completely different path, a path that they can't understand at all.

The improvement of the overall civilization level represents not only national power, but also the huge details behind it.

Almost all countries know that if they want to keep up with development, they must find a way to learn, otherwise the gap will only widen.

But these things are not within the scope of Li Yuechen's consideration.

On the first day of August, the summer vacation ended and the school officially started.

On the first day of class, the students hadn't recovered from the vacation syndrome, so Li Yuechen didn't want to give a lecture today, but just talked to them about the law that was gradually being improved.

The children are also more willing to discuss such topics, expressing their opinions one by one.

Li Xian's youngest daughter, Li Qiule, expressed curiosity about some of the clauses: "Auntie, why is it that people who walk on the road are hit, and those who ride horses and drive cars are also punished?"

"Huh?" Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows, "Then what do you mean?"

"Since this person doesn't walk on the sidewalk, he doesn't obey the law. Isn't it his fault that he was killed?" Li Qiule asked.

Now that she is only in her teens, there is nothing wrong with being able to ask such a question.

Li Yuechen nodded, and did not answer right away, but looked around the entire classroom: "Does anyone know the reason?"

However, no one answered, and the children were thinking about each other, thinking about the problems.

After all, the essence of the problem is correct. If you don't walk on the sidewalk and get hit to death, doesn't that just serve you right?
At this time Li Yuechen smiled: "You have to understand that although the country will be governed by law in the future, the law is the lowest standard after all, and the moral level of the people should not be so low."

"Crossing the road is not a serious crime. If you die because of it, is it too serious? Therefore, when similar incidents occur, the purpose of punishing riders and drivers is to hope that they can rein in their horses or stop temporarily."

"You have to know that there are diversity of species in this world, and so are people. Some people are so cold-blooded that they don't care about other people at all. If the law stipulates that there is no punishment for killing people by walking on sidewalks, then many people may even Will not rein in or stop."

"Obviously a simple action of his can save a life, but some people just won't do it. Therefore, the meaning of this law is to hope that these people on horseback can have some respect for life, and try not to do it as much as possible. An act of harming another's life!"

Li Yuechen supported the desk with both hands, and said to the children: "The law is the lowest standard of behavior for people, but human morality should not just be stuck on the edge of the law."

"But, won't this become complicated in the actual penalty?" Li Qiule asked a little puzzled.

"Since you are a judge, you should not be afraid of the tediousness involved. If you feel cumbersome about your work, it means that this person is not suitable to be a judge." Li Yuechen replied, "Such a person should also be dealt with as soon as possible."

After all, such stipulations in the law are relatively loose, just like the caning punishment prescribed by Li Yuechen.

Those who stole children were punished with thirty lashes.

But whether thirty lashes can kill a person depends entirely on the strength of the person in charge of the execution.

It's just that Li Yuechen secretly stipulated that these people who stole the children can't let them survive the thirty lashes alive.

The same is true for this law. If there was an act of reining in the horse or parking the car at that time, even if it still killed someone in the end, then the punishment would be very light.

But if there was no similar behavior at that time, the punishment would be slightly heavier.

The extent of this is to be determined, and in the future teaching at the University of Political Science and Law needs to be carefully explained to students.

Originally, the so-called law, in fact, does not need to be rigid, and it can be more flexible.

This is like saying that in some special cases, if the perpetrator is an official or a public figure, the degree of punishment should be heavier, after all, the adverse social impact must be considered.

But if it's just an ordinary person, it doesn't matter if you turn a blind eye sometimes.

Of course, these things cannot be written as clear terms, otherwise there will be a lot of loopholes and room for maneuvering.

It can only be considered in future education, which is the so-called - discretionary.

Now that the University of Political Science and Law is about to be established, the improvement of the law must be accelerated, and the real change in Dazhou begins here.

After all, ruling the country according to the law represents the restart of Legalism, and it will start to fight against Confucianism. At that time, the court may explode again...
