In the thirteenth year of Yankang, on the fourteenth day of the first month, this is just an ordinary day for Shizhongtai, and the people of Shizhongtai have just arrived, and they began to be busy all day, starting from the twelfth year of Yankang, they have been busy for nearly nine months, but for nine months, the new Han law in their minds has still not been completed.

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, and now they don't mention any etiquette disputes, and the competition for law ideas that are extremely important to them is not taken into Zhuge Liang's eyes at all.

Zhuge Liang only looks at whether the regulations they write are practical and can work, as for their meaning, his own thoughts, he ignores them, this is a pragmatist, for these people, Zhuge Liang is extremely harsh, constantly changing, constantly compiling, so that these people have reached the verge of collapse.

His mind is full of laws, and he has no extra time to fight over the so-called rites and laws.

"How many times do I need to talk to you? Killing at every turn? Is there such a law? The law you have compiled solves all problems with only one killing word?! Zhuge Liang was reprimanding, full of favor 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, no matter how high his reputation is, he will not make a move to disobey his boss.

Zhuge Liang looked at him with some disappointment, it is okay to be full of favor law enforcement, but it is not possible to make up the law, perhaps, in his heart, all those who violate the law and discipline should be executed, in this way, the world is peaceful, and no one dares to break the law anymore, but this kind of criminal law is too cruel, which will cause a big problem.

"From today onwards, you don't want to participate in the compilation of the law anymore...", Zhuge Liang sighed, waved his hand, was stunned, hesitated for a moment, but did not refute, nodded, left the waiter's platform, and just walked to the door, he almost collided with a person, and the man raised his head, and it was Sima Yi in front of him.

Considered an acquaintance, Man Pet nodded at him and left.

Looking at the departing Full Favor, Sima Yi was a little puzzled, how could the servant Zhongtai compile the law, how could he let the Full Favor leave? When it comes to the law, it seems that there is no more familiar temple than Manchu.

Sima Yi also heard the movement in the middle of the waiter's platform clearly, Zhuge Villager's guy really began to bully people, he thought to himself, so he walked into the mansion, bowed to the front, and said: "Minister Sima Yi, meet the waiter!" As a local governor, the three dukes are treated with courtesy, and now the three orders are the three dukes in the past, not to mention that Sima Yi is just a criminal minister.

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw Sima Yi, he immediately laughed, and hurriedly walked to his side and helped him up, "Zhongda? When did you arrive in Luoyang? Great, great! Zhuge Liang's originally depressed mood suddenly improved, and it was great to have Sima Yi to help.

Sima Yi looked around, there were many people sitting in the middle of the platform, but these people did not react to his arrival, even Fa Zheng, who was familiar with him, was now writing something in a hurry, and even the full favor had just left, but he couldn't attract their attention, but he didn't know that these people were used to leaving.

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

For these people who left, they were still sympathetic at first, and they only felt sorry in their hearts, but now, they are a little envious in their hearts, if only they could leave.

"I arrived the day before yesterday and rested at home for two days before I rushed to ask for guilt!" , Sima Yi lowered his head and said helplessly, Zhuge Liang was stunned, he had heard about Sima Yi's matter, but what kind of crime did he come to ask for here, "What is Zhongda, ask me for sin?" ”

Oh, this guy is still pretending, Sima Yi scolded in his heart, but said quietly: "This is Your Majesty's order, to ask me to come to Zhuge Gong to ask for guilt... I also hope that Zhuge Gong will be lightly dismissed..."

Hearing these words, Zhuge Liang suddenly understood that the Son of Heaven just wanted to send him an assistant, he laughed and said: "Well, since this is the case, then bother Zhongda to stay in the middle of the service and help me compile the law, in addition, there is one more thing, wait for the night, and then discuss with Zhongda." ”

Sima Yi squinted his eyes, he really couldn't get used to Zhuge Liang's villain's powerful appearance, but he could only say yes to the three orders.

So, Zhuge Liang directly handed over the series of legal documents that Man Favor was responsible for into his hands, Sima Yi sat among the officials with a blank face, looked through the documents, Man Pet's handwriting was more sloppy, but he could understand it, Man Pet was originally responsible for this criminal law, Sima Yi looked at it like this, and was almost scared to death.

Whether it is for stealing, or such as taking bribes, Manzhong did not give a definition, all of them are a chopping word, just say yes, whether you steal a handful of rice, or steal funeral goods, it is a death, and bribery is also, even if you ask for one or two money, you have to be executed, this is a bit excessive, no wonder Zhuge Villager will drive that guy out.

Sima Yi sighed, picked up the pen and ink, and began to revise it, first of all, for these, there is a need for a definition, how much to bribe to kill, how much to steal to be punished, although Sima Yi said that he was a little lax in Yanzhou, but he has been governing 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.

As soon as he sat down, he never got up again.

As for Hai Shi, many ministers came together one by one, but they were all exhausted, rubbing their foreheads, yawning, Zhuge Liang sent them one by one, Sima Yi put what he did today on the case, and was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang, "Zhongda, you come with me." ”

Sima Yi followed behind him with some surprise, the two came to the backyard, there were already slaves ready to eat, wine, the two sat facing each other, and ate, both of them ate not too fast, and after the two of them finished eating, Zhuge Liang waved his hand and let the slaves leave, and his expression became serious.

"Zhongda, Deng Ai, do you know?"

Sima Yi frowned, thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Nongfu servant, I know him." ”

"Do you know what he's been doing lately?"

"I know, the so-called Junda system." , Sima Yi said, and suddenly understood in his heart why Zhuge Liang left him, "However, Zhuge Gong, although I have heard of this, I still don't know much about the specifics, and I don't know much about cultivated land, and I don't like this kind of books." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled lightly, and then said, "Isn't it? I heard that in the past, Zhong Da and Cao Situ often talked about this land annexation, Cao Situ's new tax law, isn't it what Zhong Da proposed, why is it said that he is not proficient in this way, could it be that Zhong Da is unwilling to serve the Son of Heaven? ? ”

"This...", Sima Yi was speechless for a moment, in the past, he really discussed the new tax law with Cao Situ, it was difficult to distinguish it, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Zhuge Gong, the so-called law of Juntian is very important, if you do it rashly, I am afraid that it will cause civil unrest and ruin the peace of the present." ”

"Because of this, I need Zhong Da to come to help...", Zhuge Liang paused and continued: "I just want to ask Zhong Da how to implement it, so as not to ruin the current peace, and to achieve the purpose of suppressing the merger?" ”

"I don't know."

"Hey, Zhong Da Mo should be humble, others don't know, I believe it, but Zhong Da doesn't know, then I don't believe it, of course, if Zhong Da is unwilling to help, then I won't force it to stay...."

"Really not force you to stay?"

Zhuge Liang nodded, with a look of kindness.

"I'm afraid that Zhuge Gong will not punish the crime, but there are those people like Manjun who come to punish the crime." , Sima Yi sighed with emotion, and said: "Since this is the case, then I will stay and help one or two, but I dare not say whether it will be successful or not...", Zhuge Liang laughed, "That's nature, I have to bear it!" ”

"So, please ask Zhongda, I don't know how to implement this Juntian method?"

"For example, the people are panicked today, they all think that the temple wants to take away its land and cut off its way of life, so it is not possible, first to ask for the help of the mansion, I know a person, called Yu Xuan, who was guilty of angering the Son of Heaven before, but now he is white, but he is quite prestigious, because he is upright, and he is convincing in the face of the crime..."

"Zhuge Gong can invite this person out, as for the mansion, tell the world, tell the law, and use Anli Shu...."

"But I'll go and ask him for tomorrow."

"In addition, it is necessary to appease the officials at all levels, and for the public land given by the officials, it must be implemented first, so that the officials can reassure the people, and its effect is even greater than that of the mansion."

Sima Yi said everything in his heart, most of which coincided with Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang did not interrupt him, and listened carefully to what he said.

The two talked like this until late at night, and in just one night, they determined a lot of laws.

When these were almost finished, the two of them relaxed, and Zhuge Liang suddenly asked, "Yao'er is okay?" You left him in Yanzhou? ”

"No, I sent him to Yangzhou."

"Yangzhou? Let him go so soon? ”

"Hehe, you don't know, these days in Yanzhou, for him, it is enough, when he comes back from Yangzhou, I will arrange for him to participate in the assessment...."

"Do you have faith?"

"The crown of the four subjects."
