Jian Sui Daye

Chapter 286 The Soundest Law and the Most Chaotic

August [-]st finally arrived in the anxious and excited mood of Ding Hao and other wealthy gentry from the four prefectures. Although Ding Hao and others didn't know exactly what Gao Xing was going to do, they knew that this day was a turning point in their family's fate. Maybe it soars into the sky, maybe it doesn't recover after a setback.

On August [-]st, the weather was beautiful, the wind was sunny, the sky was bright and the air was clear, just like the mood of Ding Hao and others at this time.

Ever since Gao Xing became the ruler of Qingzhou and other four states, Ding Hao and other wealthy families fell from heaven to hell all of a sudden. This hairless little assassin is really amazing, cruel, ruthless, and the most frightening thing is his strong martial arts. There are many soldiers and generals, and they are greedy.

There are famous families in the city, who were not extorted by the governor and were injured, but when they thought of the [-] Jeju regular army falling into Qingzhou City, and the fortified Chen Mansion crumbling, everyone couldn't help but feel a twitch. Cold, put down the resentment in your chest.

A few days ago, the governor sent a message that he would invite prestigious people from the four prefectures to discuss matters in Qingzhou on the first day of August to discuss future development issues. All smart people know that this is a signal and they are happy to throw out The olive branch, although nominally discussing the development of the four states, is actually discussing issues such as the distribution of benefits.

If Gao Xing wants to gain a firm foothold and grow stronger, relying solely on force is not enough. Only by integrating all available local resources can Xing Xing's power grow rapidly, and the combination of interests is sometimes stronger.

Only 200 people in the Qing, Jiao, Guang, and Nanqing prefectures received happy posts. Most of these people were powerful people, and the other strengths were somewhat different, but they were the small households who donated the most money and food.

Whether it is because of fear or far-reaching investment, donating more materials is an attitude, surrendering to Gao Xing, Gao Xing has no consciousness of "taking people short, eating people short", but many friends are better than many enemies Be strong, therefore, the happy attitude is more cordial to those small households who take the initiative to show their favor.

The address of this meeting was Xinghua Academy, which was spacious and quiet, and suitable for discussion.

Early in the morning, the 200 people who attended the meeting came to the square of Xinghua Academy early. The tables, chairs, and tea and snacks were already set up in the square. Quite a few, you must know that at the previous banquets, everyone was worried and out of their minds.

Zhao Gou was in charge of the reception. Although the young man was rough-headed and dressed in rustic clothes, he was courteous, neither humble nor overbearing. He had some knowledge in his chest, especially his handwriting was outstanding, which was admirable. Not many people were happy to be close to him However, Zhao Gou, who is not very good looking, is one of them, especially since he also serves as the vice president of Xinghua Academy. This time it's not a Hongmen Banquet.

"Boss Yang, I heard that you must have made a lot of money doing business with Lord Inspector." The time was up, and before the joy appeared, the participants sat at the table, drinking tea and chatting.

"Just making some small money, that's comparable to Boss Sun's wealth and wealth," Yang Sanwan chuckled, although his face was calm, but there was a hint of color in his eyes.

Although Yang Sanwan and Pei Nianqian have reached a cooperation agreement with Gao Xing, but after a month, they only have income and have not seen any expenditure. However, Pei and Yang have no objection to this, and there is no rush to do business After all, it takes time to prepare for basic tasks such as choosing a factory building, early tools, and recruiting and training workers. What's more, with happy backing, famous people in the four states are also close to the two of them. These are invisible wealth.

"Brother Pei, tell me, what kind of business did you guys do with Lord Governor?"

Pei Nianqian and Yang Sanwan looked at each other with a smile, and said somewhat inscrutablely: "The Buddha said: Don't say it, don't say it,"

"Okay, you Pei Nianqian, you actually played tricks,"

"Boss Zhang, don't worry, you will know tomorrow," Yang Sanwan said with a smile while sipping tea.

Seeing that the two refused to speak, the others changed the topic, but their hearts became more curious. Over the past month, many people have been paying attention to the movements of Yang and Pei, wanting to see what they did with the governor , It's a pity that these two people not only stopped their original business a lot, but have not yet invested in new business, and they don't pay much attention to the thousands of hectares of fertile land at home, which is really confusing.

Ding Hao and the others hadn't waited long in the world, and Xing Xing, who was dressed in white, arrived at the venue accompanied by his personal guard Ling Xiaoyun.

Although they knew that Gao Xing did not have any malicious intentions this time, they still felt chills on their necks in the face of the numerous knives and guns. Fortunately, the soldiers from a brigade escorting Gao Xing did not enter Xinghua Academy, but guarded the outside. Ding Hao and others didn't see the majestic and murderous soldiers, and they immediately relaxed a lot.

After meeting each other, I was happy to invite everyone to sit down, and then said straight to the point: "Everyone, the development of Qingzhou and other four states is inseparable. Overthrowing Gaowei's tyranny and returning the world to a bright future also requires your help."

After a pause, he continued happily: "Gao Mou invited you here today, just to discuss the future development plan with you, and please speak freely later, don't be restrained,"

Gao Xing has a warm smile on his face, coupled with his handsome face, people can't help but get close.

"My lord, you are too polite, I will definitely help you," Yang Sanwan and others said quickly and politely.

"Thank you, everyone," Gao Xing clapped his hands with sincerity, and the others hurriedly said modestly that they should.

After being polite for a while, the smile on Gao Xing's face was slightly retracted, and then he said: "Everyone, although Gao Mou has four states under his rule, the area is not vast and the population is not large, which is worse than the prosperous counties and cities. Therefore, Gao decided to parallel the prefectures and counties. The four prefectures of Qing, Guang, Jiao, and Nanqing were integrated into Shandong Province. The government was located in Qingzhou and renamed Xinghua City. The other three prefectures were changed to counties. I don’t know what your opinions are ,"

"I'll wait for the second proposal, and I'll follow your lord's arrangement," Ding Hao and the others looked at each other, and then said in unison.

Gao Xing only has one person, but the four states under his rule are at the same level, but it is not very convenient to manage. He parallels the states and counties and integrates forces, which will save a lot in terms of management and resources.

"Okay," Gao Xing nodded with a smile, and was very satisfied with everyone's answers. Regardless of whether the people below agree or not, this decision will be implemented if you are happy. This is the first step in reform. It is not a simple change of place names to save resources. It can also deepen the control and management of the jurisdiction.

"Next, let's discuss the issue of the 'law'," Gao Xing straightened, with a very solemn and serious tone.

The people below immediately became agitated. The law is absolutely related to their interests, and it is also a tool they rely on to rule the ruled class.

"Zhao Gou," Gao Xing called softly, and Zhao Gou, who was standing by the side, agreed and left in a hurry.

After a short time, Zhao Gou returned to the meeting place, accompanied by dozens of students from Xinghua Academy. They were all dressed in uniform, and each of them held a stack of paper scrolls in their hands. Although paper was born a long time ago , but because of the cumbersome production process and high price, it is not as popular as later generations.

But in this era, books are mostly bamboo slips, and there are not many paper books, but Qingzhou City is an exception. I am happy to improve papermaking and invented movable type printing. These problems are solved. There are many paper books in Qingzhou Library. The paper is exquisite and white, the handwriting is clear, and the layout is neat. Scholars love it very much.

Under the surprised eyes of Ding Hao and others, as the scrolls in the hands of Zhao Goulai's students were distributed to everyone, when they saw the three characters "Northern Qi Law" written on the title page, everyone couldn't help but cast their doubts on Happy gaze.

"Everyone, the country cannot be ruled, and the people cannot be established. If you want long-term stability, you must have the law. You can go back and look up the "Northern Qi Law" first, and then give your opinions. The meeting is over." Happy waited for everyone to get the scrolls, Then get up and say goodbye.

Not only Ding Hao and the others were puzzled by the act of taking out the "Northern Qi Law", but even Ling Xiaoyun was very confused. He wanted to ask a few times, but he shut his mouth when he thought that he was now a happy personal guard .

"Xiao Yun, if you want to ask anything, just ask. It's not good to hold back. Why have you become restrained since you became the captain of the personal guard?" Asked Ling Xiaoyun who was frowning slightly.

"My lord, the state of Qi is chaotic and the people are in dire straits. Why do you use the "Northern Qi Law" as a reference? If you do this, I'm afraid it won't solve the problem fundamentally," Ling Xiaoyun said.

"Xiao Yun, don't underestimate the "Northern Qi Law". Although the Qi State regime is in chaos, the monarchs and ministers are working together to fragment the huge country, and the people's livelihood is dying, but this is not the fault of the "Northern Qi Law". It's my fault," Gao Xing put down the teacup, stood up, looked out of the window in a daze, with a touch of sadness on his face.

From Xia Shang to Qin and Han Dynasties, the most standardized and perfect law in history is the "Northern Qi Law". Even the "Tang Law" and "Sui Law" of later generations were formulated on this basis. Huan has a bad temper and is a bit of a beast, but he has put in a lot of effort in the law. The "Northern Qi Law" not only plays a pivotal role in the laws of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but also has far-reaching significance for future generations.

It is ridiculous to say that the Northern Qi government is the most chaotic and corrupt among Zhou, Chen, and Qi, but his laws are the most complete. There are laws to abide by", but it cannot achieve "enforcement must be strictly enforced, and violations must be punished", then this thick code can only be a decoration.

"The country's governance is not based on the law, but only on personal preferences and wishes. How can this country not be chaotic," Gao Xing shook his head and sighed.

Ling Xiaoyun is not stupid, just a little bit of happiness, he immediately understood the reason, and slowly opened his brows,
