It's not that Zhao Heng doesn't understand the laws of the later generations, or that he can't implement the laws of the later generations in the Walled City, but that he finds that although the laws of the later generations are good, they are not applicable to this era.

At the same time, he was also surprised to find that Qin Law was beyond imagination to be perfect and rigorous.

Although many people in later generations felt that Great Qin was a tyrannical Qin and that Great Qin died in tyranny, Qin law can be regarded as a law beyond the times in addition to being too harsh in terms of punishment.

For example, in Daqin, righteousness and courage are actually an obligation that must be fulfilled.

In Yunmeng Qin Jian, there is a record called "Legal Questions and Answers": "There are thieves who kill and injure people, and others do not help, and they are in a hundred steps than the wild, and they are the second class when they are in the middle of a hundred steps." ”

To put it simply, if you see someone being violated, and a passerby within 100 steps of the passerby will be fined two sets of armor if they do not save them.

You must know that in Daqin, a set of ordinary armor is worth at least a thousand yuan, and a thousand yuan is enough for an adult's living expenses for nearly a year.

In addition, Qin Law clearly stipulates the punishment for domestic violence.

If a husband beats his wife at will, he is punished with a shaved sideburn and beard.

In later generations, this kind of nature is not a punishment, but in ancient times, when the body was exposed to the parents, it can be called a great unfilial piety!

Qin Law also has provisions to protect the rights and interests of consumers, and goods must be clearly marked with prices.

It even stipulates that "the husband is not guilty of killing him for the sake of sending his wife," stipulates that he cannot be severely tortured during interrogation, stipulates that when officials are handed over, they must conduct an audit of their departure office, and that they must bring their own rations when they go to the grassroots level, and so on.

Of course, due to the limitations of the system of the times, Qin law was indeed too strict in some places, such as the law of continuous sitting, coupled with the large number of military service and conscription, and the extremely heavy taxes, which made the people at the end of Qin miserable.

In this regard, the Han Dynasty, which inherited the Qin system, was much better.

Zhao Heng naturally did not copy the full set of Qin laws, but fine-tuned them.

For example, in terms of punishment, he slightly lowered the punishment severity, basically eliminated the torture of the three tribes, the extermination of the sect, and the five punishments, and in terms of rewards, he not only followed the 20-level military merit title system, but also improved the corresponding treatment of each level of title.

Take the two guards who are following him at the moment, not only are they all already knights, but they also get five thousand dollars a month.

The most important thing is that they each got a hardcover room of 150 square meters.

As for basic security such as medical care and education, all of them enjoy free treatment.

Zhao Heng knew very well that what he wanted to compete for the world was not the system, nor the logistics materials, but a large number of military and political talents.

Especially after the beginning of the troubled times, with the base camp of the Walled City, his power will definitely expand rapidly, and both the population and the territory will grow geometrically.

At that time, if there are not enough talents, it will be impossible for him to control it alone.

Because of this, he will spare no effort to recruit Lao Zhao and Lao Wang, two top talents.

Lao Zhao is in charge of internal affairs, and Lao Wang is in charge of military affairs, and they will definitely be his right-hand man.

As for the other top talents who were familiar to future generations, Zhao Heng did not have the idea of recruiting, because the probability of success was extremely low.

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang naturally don't need to say much, one is the grandson of Xiang Yan, a famous general of the Chu State, whose appeal in the land of old Chu is incomparable, and it is impossible for him to be subordinate to others, and the other is not easy to match, and it is almost impossible to sincerely join him.

Fan Xu, Xiao He, and Cao Shen are naturally already wearing the same pants as Liu Bang, and it is basically impossible for Zhao Heng to recruit them.

Zhang Liang and Han Xin, he sent someone to find them, but unfortunately there was no news of them.

"Xiao Langjun, you predicted that after the death of the First Emperor, Great Qin would be in chaos, do you think that the law of my Great Qin is tyranny, just like the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?"

At this time, Ying Zheng asked again.

"Not exactly."

Zhao Heng groaned slightly, shook his head and said: "It's just that because Qin's laws are too strict and complicated, the tens of millions of people in Daqin can only really know the law and understand the law at most, and the others are just ignorant of the law and afraid of the law. ”

In Zhao Heng's mind, Lao Zhao was clearly testing himself.

The king chooses the minister, and the minister can also choose the king, as it is!

So, he had to answer well.

The strictness and complexity of the Qin law, coupled with the fact that the vast majority of the Qianshou were basically illiterate, and some officials deliberately did it, made the common people extremely low in their acceptance of the Qin law.

The degree of acceptance here does not mean that the people cannot accept the strictness of the Qin law, but that the people do not understand the details of the Qin law at all.

Therefore, Zhao Heng felt that Qin Law did not actually need to be overhauled, but needed to be popularized by the whole people.

"P&F?"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Heng with a strange expression.

"Yes, Pham!"

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "The biggest problem with Qin Law is not that it is strict, but that the people don't know the law. ”

After a pause, he continued: "It's not difficult to popularize the law, just take my walled city as an example, first send people to go door-to-door to publicize the law, and then distribute some detailed law manuals, but if you want to implement these two articles more smoothly, you still need to do one thing." ”

"What?"

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian both looked at Zhao Heng with curiosity.

"Education for all, at least everyone can be literate."

Zhao Hengdao.

Of course, he himself knew very well in his heart that universal education was easy to do in his small walled city, but if it was to be implemented in the entire Great Qin, he would definitely face many unimaginable difficulties.

"If you are asked to do it, can you guarantee that everyone in my Great Qin can be literate?"

Ying Zheng's eyes stared at Zhao Heng and asked.

"Then it depends on how much power I have, if one day, I can influence the world with one word, then at that time, I can not only ensure that everyone is literate, but also everyone will know and understand the law."

Zhao Heng said confidently.

If there really is such a day, no one can stop him from doing it.

"If you can really do it, why don't I worship you as a minister."

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart.

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about this artifact that I'm going to show you."

Zhao Heng smiled and said, "I am sure that its appearance will trigger epoch-making changes in some aspects. ”

"What is it?"

Hearing Zhao Heng say this, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were even more curious.

"When you arrive, you'd better see for yourselves."

Zhao Heng stopped and looked at a modern building in front of him.

I saw that on the door of the building, there was a plaque with three big characters written on it - Armory!

It is entirely fair to say that this building is one of the most important places in the entire Walled City.

Not only is there a variety of new weapons, but it is also a base for the development of firearms.
