Chapter 504 Taoyuan Law Code
Ding Wei's heart was cut like a knife, but the nursery rhymes she sang became more and more gentle.

The angelicas who were guarding the door felt sour when they heard this.

Xu was really tired on the road, the old man and An Ge'er slept until the sun went down.

At noon, she was too full and too greasy. In the evening, Ding Wei boiled a pot of pumpkin porridge, served with four kinds of sweet and sour or salty side dishes, and steamed a steamed stuffed bun with leek and shrimp.

After everyone finished eating and the children went to the top floor, the adults gathered in the hall to listen to the old man.

The old man didn't hide it either, he made it clear how the old emperor of Da Yue refused to meet, but left a will when he was dying, how the subjects of Da Yue stayed hard, and how the old prime minister forced him to die.

In the end, he sighed with half anger and half pity, "It's also thanks to the old emperor who schemed to death. Da Yue is really in disrepair. The people there can survive because of the grace of God. The two princes are useless, the government is corrupt, and the family is rampant. This year The Jin River diverted to flood, and next year there will be a severe drought, so there will be no good times. If there is no Mingjun to govern, and if there is no heavy hand, I am afraid that within two years, Dayue will rebel everywhere and collapse completely."

Everyone frowned, not knowing what to say for a while.Some were annoyed by the old emperor's calculations, but he also admired his intention to plan for Dai Viet until his death.

On the contrary, the third son of Chu was inexplicably excited when he heard it. At the beginning, the boss of Chu was seduced and deceived by Princess Qingcheng and did such a betrayal. Although the Chu family was saved, he lost the wisdom accumulated by his ancestors for many years.

Although Old General Chu didn't say anything, he wanted to regain control of the army and regain the prestige of the Chu family all the time in his heart.

So this time I insisted on going to Dayue, and guarded the escape route for the master.

Now that the lord is sitting on the throne of Dayue, and Dayue still looks like this, does it mean that the Chu family has a chance to regain their glory?

Seeing that the master's complexion was not good, Danggui saw that the third brother Chu was still as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, so she hurried over and gave the third brother Chu a hard look while pouring tea.

Chu's third son was still a little unclear, but Kikyo who was standing opposite couldn't help laughing out loud.

Everyone heard the reputation and looked over, she quickly covered her mouth in shame, and quickly backed out.

The dignified atmosphere in the room was eased a lot after being interrupted like this.

Fang Xin spoke first, "I'm still a smart girl, I thought about this beforehand and made preparations."

However, Mr. Wei waved his hands and said, "It's useless to make any preparations. I think Da Yue is hopeless. Unless a few bags of food are distributed to every household, the people who are about to starve to death will rebel."

"The old man is really right," Fang Xin said with a smile, "The news of the grain purchase has been out for more than half a month. At this time, it is estimated that tens of thousands of loads have already entered the warehouse."

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised, "It's still you young people with bright minds, I'm old. You can look at the arrangement, I'll go outside. I heard that this place used to be a deserted island, but now it looks like it's a wasteland." It’s busier than the average small town.”

As he spoke, the old man walked out with his hands behind his back, and soon he called the children to go to the workshop to watch the excitement.

Without the presence of the old man, everyone lost their restraint and began to speak freely. Of course, the topics were all about how to support Gong Zhiming.

"Food is already being purchased. How to transport it out of Jinshuihekou is a difficult problem. I will go back to Beijing tomorrow to discuss with my father. Now the fourth son of the Sun family is guarding Jinhekou. I heard that because of his concubine background, he has been treated harshly by his family. , As long as he is persuaded to claim illness or resign, he will be replaced by other people. Except for the six great families, almost everyone in Donghao is in awe of Tianbao, and the matter will be resolved."

Fang Xin tapped the fan in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said his plan.Cheng Dayou was more direct, "I will go back to Quanzhou with Mr. Fang, and after selling the goods, I will buy cloth and cotton. Presumably a general needs these supplies urgently."

Chu Laosan nodded again and again, and rushed to say, "Of course, the matter of delivering supplies is left to me. Regardless of other guarantees, anyone who dares to stop me from delivering supplies to the general will be killed."

After all, he looked at Ding Wei with some hesitation, and finally asked, "Madam, did you send some thunderbolts to the general?"

Thinking of the power of Thunderbolt, everyone subconsciously looked at Ding Wei.

However, Ding Wei had already planned this. If Gong Zhiming wanted to rectify Da Yue, he would definitely be reluctant to let the people of Da Yue suffer heavy casualties. However, to quell the rebellion, the two armies must confront each other. A citizen of his own kingdom.

If you shrink your hands and feet, it is not good for yourself.

After thinking about it, it is best to use thunderbolts, just like when they first came to the island, the natives who were shocked by a thunderbolt did not dare to resist.Now they are paid grain rent to help them grow grain, and live in peace and harmony.

If he had directly used a knife and gun at the beginning, he would have formed a personal enmity. Even if he was not afraid of their revenge, he had to keep his avatar on guard against them at all times.

"Okay, I'll prepare for this matter, and send someone to send it to the general when the time comes."

"Well, it's not too late. I'll go back to Kyoto tomorrow."

Fang Xin has a quick temper. He is afraid that one day later, his good brother will suffer in Dai Viet. If it is not because the fleet has to load, he even wants to set off immediately.

"Oh, big brother, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. No matter how urgent you are, you can leave this day. Let's go later." Ding Wei hurriedly kept someone, because firstly, she was reluctant to part with the three members of the Fang family, and secondly, there was no reason to separate for the reunion festival. .

Chu's third son also didn't want a sister, so he chimed in, "Ma'am said, sister-in-law should stay for one more day, otherwise there will be trouble at Qixi."

Fang Xin was helpless when he thought of his daughter-in-law who was almost crazy these days, and replied, "Then set off early in the morning."

After discussing major issues, it's just some trivial matters.A few days ago, Fang Xin and others had explored the location. On the island a hundred miles away from the stone castle, there was a plain with a radius of tens of miles. The terrain was relatively high, which was very suitable for building a city.

This time Cheng Dayou went back, in addition to selling goods and helping to buy food, he also had to attract a large number of craftsmen and farmers to the island.

The construction of the city and the reclamation of wasteland are carried out at the same time. It is initially estimated that [-] craftsmen and [-] farmers will be recruited. Of course, they are not allowed to bring their families, otherwise the food reserves on the island will not last even two months.But there must be no shortage of female relatives. After all, the guys who cook and deliver water also need manpower.

Previously, countless small traders wanted to follow the fleet to the island to do some small business, but considering safety issues, Cheng Dayou never agreed.

If they recruit workers this time, there will be thousands more people on the island.If so many people eat and drink together, if they still eat and drink together, there will always be places that are not well taken care of. It is better to let some small traders in.There are many places for people to walk around after dinner, earn wages, and have a place to pay for their calls.

But it can't be said that there are too many people and the flow of money is fast, and there will be many disadvantages.Such as stealing, such as gambling, such as fighting...

Fortunately, there were no idiots among the people present, and after a few discussions, the first law code on Taoyuan Island was born.

Although there are only a few, it makes people feel cold.

Taoyuan Law Code: Article [-], Gambling, the thief cuts off his hands, expulsion!Article [-], those who cause trouble for no reason shall be whipped one hundred times and expelled!Article [-], whores who intentionally hurt others shall be hanged on Baigu Island!Article [-]: Anyone who colludes with outsiders to do harm to Taoyuan Island will be punished with death!

In Quanzhou, because going out to sea for fishing is extremely risky, many people have the bad habit of drinking and gambling.Even now in the workshop, when occasionally tired, someone would throw the dice twice and win a few coppers.If it is suddenly banned, I am afraid that everyone will have a heart of resistance.

"Ma'am, this gamble... If the stakes are not high, can you be more flexible." Cheng Dayou pleaded, "Even if the slave is in the shipyard, he occasionally plays two games."

Ding Wei frowned and shook her head resolutely.

"No, we must set the rules before gambling is popular. As long as you gamble, you will win or lose. Those who win will find it so easy to make money and are unwilling to work hard. Those who lose are eager to make money, saying Maybe they will steal, or even be tempted by outsiders to sell the skills of the workshop. It can be said that gambling is the root of all bad things, and it must not be tolerated."

Cheng Dayou really didn't think so deeply, he was so startled that he almost broke out in sweat when he heard this, he quickly got up and knelt down, and apologized, "The slave is stupid and dull, fortunately the master wakes up, otherwise there will be a catastrophe."

Ding Wei raised her hand to help him, and said with a smile, "If it's just a pastime in Quanzhou, it's nothing, no wonder you didn't think carefully. Now that Taoyuan Island is just being built, foreign enemies are looking around, but we have to be more cautious. But what you said is also reasonable, so many people gather together, after dinner, it is always boring to have no entertainment. How about..."

Ding Wei pondered for a moment, then said, "When you are recruiting this time, remember to hire a theater troupe and two storytellers. At that time, let's arrange more new plays and tell more stories. It will be more interesting than gambling .”

"Oh, that's a good idea, ma'am."

I heard that the master wants to hire a theater troupe to rehearse a new play, others are not doing well, but the angelica is very happy.Back then in Kyoto, every time the master rehearsed a new play, Liyuan Street was so crowded that even a carriage couldn't get in.

Liang Zhu, Hua Mulan, White Snake, and Donghao as a whole are almost known to everyone.Especially girls, in which dream did Liang Shanbo and Xu Xian not appear.

Seeing that everyone hadn't left the house for a long time, Yunying was worried, so she came in with some snacks to have a look, and was also very happy to hear what the master said.But she was the first to serve Ding Wei, and she knew much better than everyone else.Those new plays are still secondary, and those new stories are probably the most important.Just say "Three Kingdoms", but let the general decide that only the descendants of the direct line will be able to learn it.It's just that I don't know what good story the master will tell this time...

For most of the day, I discussed everything with me all day long, and Fang Xin also had a lot of Fang Xin.

After returning to the room, he saw his son sleeping with his legs stretched out in his bellyband, while Chu Qixi was dozing off on the table with a half-sewed undershirt in his hand, the undershirt was soaked with saliva and he didn't feel it.
