Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 848
In the 13th year of Yankang, the 12th day of the first month, this is just an ordinary day for Shizhongtai. As soon as the people of Shizhongtai arrived, they started their busy day. Since the [-]th year of Yankang, They have been busy for nearly nine months, but, for nine full months, they still haven't been able to complete the new Han Law in their minds.

Maybe it's because their requirements for the new law are too high, and they need to include everything big and small, or maybe it's because Zhuge Liang is too harsh. Many laws are changed again and again. Today, they don't mention any disputes about etiquette and law. However, Zhuge Liang didn't pay attention to the legal thought competition that was extremely important to them.

Zhuge Liang only sees whether the regulations written by them are practical and can play a role. As for their meaning, he doesn’t care about his own thoughts. This is a pragmatist, and Zhuge Liang is extremely harsh on these people , constant changes, and constant writing have brought these people to the brink of collapse.

The mind is full of laws, and there is no extra time to fight for the so-called etiquette and law which is the first.

"How many times do I need to tell you? Killing at every turn? Is there anyone who writes the law like this? The law you compiled can solve all problems with only one word kill?!" Zhuge Liang was reprimanding, full of favors Standing in front of him, he has always been majestic, but he has never contradicted Zhuge Liang. He has been loyal to the law all his life, and no matter how famous he is, he will never act against his superiors.

Zhuge Liang looked at him with some disappointment. Enforcement is fine, but weaving is not enough. Perhaps, in his heart, all law-breakers should be executed. In this way, the world will be peaceful and no one will Dare to break the law, but such a criminal law is too cruel, which will cause big problems.

"From today onwards, you will no longer participate in the compilation of laws." Zhuge Liang sighed, waved his hand, Man Chong was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, but did not refute, nodded, and left the waiting room, As soon as he reached the door, he almost collided with someone. Man Chong raised his head, and it was Sima Yi in front of him.

Still an acquaintance, Man Chong nodded to him and left.

Seeing Man Chong leaving, Sima Yi was a little puzzled, how could he let Man Chong leave when the servant Zhongtai compiled the law?Speaking of the law, it seems that there is no one in the temple who is more familiar than Man Chong.

Sima Yi could also hear the commotion in the waiter's platform clearly. Mr. Zhuge Village really started to bully others. He thought to himself, then walked into the mansion, bowed forward, and said, "My lord, Sima Yi, see you!" Servant order!!", as a local governor, he should treat the Sangong with courtesies, the current Sanling is the former Sangong, not to mention that Sima Yi is only a guilty minister.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang quickly raised his head. When he saw Sima Yi, he immediately laughed, walked to his side, and helped him up, "Zhongda? When did you arrive in Luoyang? That's great, too. Alright!" Zhuge Liang's depressed mood suddenly improved, and it couldn't be better to have Sima Yi to help him.

Sima Yi looked around, there were many people sitting in the waiter's platform, but these people didn't respond to his arrival, even Fazheng, who was familiar with him, was writing something hastily now, full of favors. He left just now and failed to attract their attention, but he didn't know that these people were already used to leaving.

Man Chong is not the first person to be taken away by Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi is not the first person to visit Zhuge Liang.

For those who left, at first they had some sympathy and felt pity in their hearts, but now, they feel a little envious in their hearts, it would be great if they could leave.

"I arrived the day before yesterday, rested at home for two days, and then came to plead guilty to Shi Zhongling!" Sima Yi lowered his head and said helplessly. Zhuge Liang was taken aback. He had something to do with Sima Yi. I heard, but, why did he come here to plead guilty, "What did Zhong Da say, asking me to plead guilty?"

Oh, this guy is still pretending, Sima Yi cursed in his heart, but said calmly: "This is His Majesty's order. If you want me to come to ask Duke Zhuge to plead guilty, I hope that Duke Zhuge will give him a light sentence."

Hearing these words, Zhuge Liang immediately understood that the emperor just wanted to send him an assistant. He laughed and said, "Well, if that's the case, please trouble Zhongda to stay in Shizhongtai and help me compose the law." , In addition, there is one more matter, we will discuss it with Zhongda at night."

Sima Yi squinted his eyes, he really couldn't understand the appearance of Zhuge Liang, a villain, gaining power, but he had three orders, so he could only say yes.

Ever since, Zhuge Liang directly handed over the series of legal documents that Man Chong was in charge of, and Sima Yi sat among the officials with a blank face, flipping through the documents. It's scribbled, but it can be understood at any rate. Man Chong was originally in charge of the criminal law. Sima Yi was almost scared to death when he saw it like this.

No matter for stealing or accepting bribes, Manchong didn't give a definition, all of them are beheaded, that is, whether you stole a handful of rice or stole funeral objects, it is a death, accepting bribes That's right, even if he asked for a couple of dollars, he would be executed, which is a bit too much, no wonder Mr. Zhuge drove that guy out.

Sima Yi let out a long sigh, picked up the pen and ink, and began to revise. First of all, there needs to be a definition for these. The amount of bribery and more can be beheaded, and the amount of steal can be executed. Although Sima Yi is a little lax in Yanzhou, he has been in power for a long time. , He still has a little understanding of these, and he has read a lot of books involved, so he began to revise them.

Once he sat down like this, he never got up again.

As for Haishi, many ministers just got up together, but they were all exhausted, rubbing their foreheads, yawning, Zhuge Liang sent them off one by one, Sima Yi put what he had done today on the case, and was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang Come down, "Zhong Da, you come with me."

Sima Yi followed behind him with some doubts. The two came to the backyard. A servant had already prepared food and drinks. The two sat facing each other and started eating. Neither of them ate too fast. After eating, Zhuge Liang waved his hand to let the servants leave, and his expression became serious.

"Zhongda, do you know Deng Ai?"

Sima Yi frowned, thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Pub She, I recognize him."

"Then, do you know his performances in recent days?"

"I know, the so-called land equalization system." As Sima Yi said, he suddenly understood why Zhuge Liang would keep him, "However, Lord Zhuge, although I have heard about it, I still don't know the details. I don't know much about farming land either, and I don't like such books."

Zhuge Liang smiled lightly, and said just now: "Isn't that right? I heard that Zhongda and Cao Situ used to talk about land annexation in the past. Isn't Cao Situ's new tax law just what Zhongda proposed? Why do they say it is not right now?" Proficient in this way, could it be that Zhong Da is unwilling to serve the Son of Heaven?"

"This", Sima Yi was speechless. In the past, he and Cao Situ discussed the new tax law together. It was hard for everyone to tell. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Mr. Zhuge, the so-called law of equalizing the land , The relationship is very important, if you do it rashly, I am afraid it will cause civil unrest and ruin the current peace."

"Because of this, I need Zhongda to come to help me." Zhuge Liang paused, and continued: "I just want to ask Zhongda how to implement it, so as not to destroy the current peace, but also to suppress mergers and acquisitions." What's the purpose?"

"I don't know about that."

"Hey, Zhongda must be humble. Others don't know, but I believe it, but Zhongda doesn't know, then I don't believe it. Of course, if Zhongda doesn't want to help, then I won't force him to stay."

"You really don't want to stay?"

Zhuge Liang nodded his head with kindness on his face.

"I'm afraid that Duke Zhuge will not punish the crime, but there will be someone like the Manjun who will come to punish the crime." Sima Yi said with emotion, "In that case, I will stay and help for a while, but I don't know whether it will be successful or not." I can't say for sure," Zhuge Liang laughed, "That's natural, I will bear it myself!"

"Then, let me ask Zhongda, I don't know how to implement the method of equalizing the land?"

"Nowadays the people of the world are terrified. They all think that the temple is going to seize their land and cut off their way of life. If this is impossible, they must first ask the mansion to help them. I know a person named Yu Fan. He was convicted of offending the emperor before, and now he is dead. However, it is quite prestigious, because it is upright and upright, facing the criminals directly, many people are convinced."

"Mr. Zhuge can invite this person out. As for the mansion, tell the world, tell the law, and make the people safe."

"Yes, I will invite this person tomorrow."

"In addition, it is to appease the upper and lower officials. For the public land given by the officials, it must be implemented first, so that the officials can comfort the people, and the effect is even better than that of the mansion."

Sima Yi said what was on his mind one by one, most of which coincided with Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang didn't interrupt him, and listened carefully to what he said, and then the two exchanged their experiences , There is some grievance between the two, but why, the two people's thoughts on Juntian are surprisingly the same.

The two chatted like this until late at night, and in just one night, many rules were determined.

After these were almost finished, the two of them relaxed, Zhuge Liang suddenly asked: "Is Yao'er okay? You left him in Yanzhou?"

"No, I sent him to Yangzhou."

"Yangzhou? Let him pass so soon?"

"Hehe, you don't know. These days in Yanzhou are enough for him. When he comes back from Yangzhou, I will arrange for him to participate in the assessment."

"Are you confident?"

"The crown of the four subjects."
