One of them is the shopkeeper brought by Zhou Da from Datang.

Although Zhou Da is greedy and stingy, he is still quite good to him, the shopkeeper.

It's not that he really values affection, but that he is a restaurant, and the guy can change it at any time.

But the shopkeeper can't be changed often, right?

The most important thing is to have a trustworthy person.

Therefore, it is usually very good for him, the shopkeeper.

The other is the aborigines who work with the stones.

After the stone died, the reason why the family and people of the stone knew so quickly was because he went to inform him.

The man's name is wood.

Next, Li Su asked the two of them one after another.

In the process of inquiry, the shopkeeper of the Zhou family was naturally partial to his owner.

And the aboriginal wood, naturally, is biased towards the stone of the dead.

But the difference between the statements of the two is not big, it is nothing more than a bias in subjective feelings.

In fact, the death of the stone was really an accident, and it was not Zhou Da's intention to kill him.

Next, Li Su asked Shi's parents: "Plaintiff, I don't know you, what else do you have to state?" ”

Shishi's father cried: "City Lord, our family is honest and hardworking. But Zhou Da, the owner of this house, bullied him like this, it's really better than a pig and a dog! ”

"My son is dead, and I have only one wish, which is to let this Zhou Da pay for my son's life!"

Hearing the statement of Shi's parents, Li Su couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In fact, there are not many doubts in this case, and the facts are clear.

The most important thing is how to close the case.

After a little thought, Li Su began to sentence.

"In this case, Zhou Da, the owner of Zhou's restaurant, deducted the wages of the hired workers, and the two had a quarrel because of this, and continued to fight."

"The beating was done by hiring the stone first, and in the process of doing it, Zhou Da accidentally pushed the stone against the wall. Caused the head of the stone to hit the wall, killing him instantly. ”

"In this case, Zhou Da, the owner of the Zhou family restaurant, committed manslaughter. However, in view of the fact that he did not intend to kill on his own initiative, and after the case occurred, he worked hard to rescue him and did not pass the buck, the verdict is as follows: "

"Zhou Dake deducted wages, resulting in the death of the hired worker Shishi, and he must compensate Shishi's parents 357,000 in compensation."

"Zhou Da was sentenced to eight years in prison for negligent wounding. This is the result of this judgment, if there is any objection to this judgment, the city lord will form a special hall to discuss the case. ”

At the same time, Huaxia City will form a labor bureau in the near future. The next time there is a phenomenon such as deducting wages, you can go to the labor bureau to file a complaint, as long as the labor bureau finds that the facts are clear, the employer will be severely punished. ”

"In the future, all employers must sign an employment contract with the Labor Bureau when recruiting employees. If it is found out that anyone does not sign an employment contract with the employee, they will be severely punished. ”

This is the end of the trial.

The result of the trial of the city lord Li Su was almost unexpected by everyone.

Almost everyone felt that the city lord's punishment was too light.

Doesn't this clearly show that it is towards the Tang people?

But if you think about it carefully, in fact, the city lord's punishment is quite reasonable.

Because in this case, Zhou Da did not want to kill the stone in his subjective will.

On the contrary, it was the hand of the stone that moved first, and Zhou Da just pushed the stone away by mistake when he resisted, and then accidentally caused the stone to die.

From this point of view, this penalty is too heavy for Zhou Da.

He's completely in self-defense!

But then again, if it weren't for the fact that he deliberately withheld his wages and was in arrears, he wouldn't have forced the stone to do it.

On the whole, the city lord's punishment is really fair and just.

Some people are satisfied with the result, and some people are not.

There are also some people who decisively choose to leave Huaxia City because of this case.

For example, Stone's parents, and some of his relatives.

After receiving the compensation, he chose to leave this sad place.

But more people still agree with this decision.

Many indigenous people are not necessarily concerned about the case itself.

Instead, it depends on whether the city lord treats them fairly, and whether he treats them the same as them.

In this case, it can be said that the city lord did not treat their aborigines with preferential treatment.

But in fact, there is no targeting.

The lord of the city treats both sides fairly.

This kind of attitude, on the contrary, makes those aborigines really put their minds at ease.

Because, if the city lord intends to treat them preferentially, they may not be able to really feel at ease.

This case seems to be just a small episode that appeared in Huaxia City.

But the significance for Huaxia City is far-reaching.

This case can be regarded as setting a tone.

In the future, when encountering this kind of case, the city lord's judgment will be a benchmark and a reference.

In fact, in Li Su's opinion, the punishment for Zhou Da was still too heavy.

If the punishment is to be punished according to the punishment of the Hereafter, it is estimated that the maximum sentence is six or seven years.

If you can get a good lawyer, or if you can get the forgiveness of the victim's family, you won't even be sentenced to so many years.

But in this era, Li Su can only be punished like this.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that the aborigines will really make trouble.

In the end, it had to be sentenced like this.

And the follow-up change brought about by this incident is that there is an extra labor bureau in Huaxia City.

There is labor arbitration in it.

Next, all employers must sign an employment contract with the employee.

At the same time, Huaxia City also introduced a labor law.

The labor law is posted in prominent places in the city.

Even the TV station has specially broadcast this.

The content of the labor law is basically aimed at the disadvantaged group of domestic workers.

This made those aborigines very moved.

Because they, the vast majority, are helpers.

Only a small number of people became bosses.

However, even the bosses among them have high respect for this labor law introduced by the city lord.

The introduction of the labor law and the emergence of the labor bureau have completely relieved those aborigines.

In recent years, with the continuous expansion of Huaxia City.

As more and more people do business, they sometimes come across the kind of employers who are sloppy.

Deliberately withholding their wages, or simply cheating on them.

Obviously the wages that have not been paid, they open their eyes and talk nonsense, so they say that they have already been paid.

Many times, they were forced to endure.

Because of this kind of thing, it's hard to break it down.

What's more, they don't know where to reason.

It is precisely because of these reasons that many aborigines still have estrangement from Huaxia City.

However, after the emergence of the Labor Bureau, these aborigines' sense of belonging to Huaxia City was greatly enhanced.

They felt that many merchants in Huaxia City might be discriminating against them.

But Li Su, the city lord of Huaxia City, did not discriminate against them.

On the contrary, treating them is really the same.

Now, there are more and more aboriginal people, who are learning Chinese.

Even, their education of newborns.

In addition to teaching them their own language, they are also taught Chinese.

Language learning is strongest in infancy and early childhood.

They don't want their children to lose at the starting line.

Here, if you don't know Chinese, your future life will be difficult.

There are many more aborigines who want to learn to write Chinese characters.

But they found that Chinese characters were too difficult to learn.

They feel that being able to learn to speak Chinese characters is already their limit.

With such complex Chinese characters, they are afraid that they will not be able to learn a few characters in their lives.

Chinese characters, I'm afraid I won't have anything to do with them.

And in this case, Li Su, the city lord of Huaxia City, once again launched simplified words for these aborigines.

Li Su simplified the strokes of the original Chinese characters.

Although the simplified Chinese characters are still very difficult for these aborigines to learn.

But the difficulty of learning is at least ten times less difficult.

The introduction of simplified characters has caused a wave of aboriginal learning of Chinese characters.

But for this move of the prince, even Shangguan Yi didn't understand what was going on.

For this matter, Shangguan Yi also specially looked for Li Su once.

"Your Majesty, why did you launch simplified characters? Weichen feels that simplifying words is really useless. ”

Li Su smiled slightly, and then asked, "Prime Minister Shangguan, why do you think that simplifying words is useless?" ”

Shangguan Yi couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, look at it! This simplified word is not recognized by us Tang people. What is the use of which of their aborigines after they have learned to simplify the word? ”

"Who are they writing for? No one can read it but themselves! It's still hard to communicate with each other! Therefore, simplifying words is really useless! ”

Li Su smiled slightly, and then asked Shangguan Yi: "Prime Minister Shangguan, I haven't studied this simplified character, but I will write an article written in simplified characters now, and you will see if you can understand it." ”

After that, Li Su picked up the pen, used simplified words, and wrote a quick article in the vernacular, and then handed it to Shangguanyi.

After Shangguan Yi took it, he looked at it carefully.

Simplifying words is not a random simplification.

In fact, it is to simplify the original word and its radicals.

There is a context to this.

Shangguan Yi was such a smart person, and he quickly figured out the principle of simplifying words.

Therefore, even if you guess and are blind, after reading the whole article, there is not much of an obstacle.

Basically, I can see it.

Moreover, this article is to answer his questions.

It turned out that the emperor introduced simplified characters, but it was not entirely aimed at the aborigines.

It turned out that the emperor was preparing to popularize simplified characters in the entire Huaxia City, or in the Huaxia Kingdom.

Seeing this, the first thought that sprung up in Shangguan Yi's heart was that this was unfilial piety to the ancestors.

Chinese characters, but the treasures left by the ancestors, how can they be changed casually?

But Shangguan Yi immediately thought that in fact, in ancient times, all the characters used were in wedge.

I don't know how many times more complicated than the current font.

But later, because it was too troublesome, it was simplified.

Later fonts have also been simplified many times.

This kind of thing, the ancestors also did it.

In later generations, it was also passed down as a good story.

So, now that the emperor simplifies the font, is there any problem?

Li Su continued: "Prime Minister Shangguan, don't you think that our people, literate people, are still too few? ”

"If we want to develop people's wisdom, we must let more people read and write. However, the current Chinese characters are too difficult to write. Which articles, it's really too difficult to understand. ”

"Bow to the teeth! Obscure! What's the point? Therefore, I am ready to introduce simplified characters to promote the habit of vernacular writing. ”

"Slowly, let all the people read and write."

After listening to Li Su's words, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He was thinking about whether what the emperor told him could be realized.

At the beginning, Shangguan Yi felt that this matter must be difficult and extremely resistant.

But soon he was dumbfounded.

This is the Golden State, this is Huaxia City, and this is not the Tang Dynasty.

Here, there are no opponents of the family, and here, too, there are no stubborn scholars.

Those who followed the emperor to Huaxia City were all students who graduated from Yizhou University.

How could they oppose the emperor's new policy?

If the emperor can really accomplish these two things, presumably, it will really be possible for Huaxia to do it at that time, and everyone will be literate, right?

If you can really get to that point, you really surpass all the sages!

This is a great feat that has not been completed by many virtuous people from ancient times to the present!

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but say to Li Su: "Your Majesty, then this matter will be promoted by your subordinates." ”

If the government of Huaxia City promotes this matter, it will be very easy to promote this matter.

And Li Su said: "This matter, for the time being, does not need to be promoted by the government, just let it be." ”

In fact, this kind of thing, whether it is promoted by the government or not, does not have a big impact.

If it is promoted by the government, there may be some resistance.

After all, nostalgia is actually an instinct for most people.

Leaving it to its own devices, simplified characters are much simpler than the fonts they use today.

And the small people below don't care about what kind of cultural inheritance!

As long as it is simple and practical, Li Su believes that simplified characters will soon be widely circulated among the people.

And as long as the people below are accustomed to it, it will be a matter of course to implement simplified words when the time comes.

And now if you implement simplified characters, let alone those officials.

Even those literate people who ask them to abandon the fonts they have used for many years and then learn new simplified characters, I am afraid that even they have an opinion.

Seeing Li Su's opposition, Shangguan Yi thought about it for a while, and immediately figured out the key inside, so he no longer insisted.

The entire Huaxia City is still developing rapidly.

And whether it is Shangguanyi or Wu Meiniang, there are endless government affairs to deal with every day.

But they are happy and happy.

And Li Su arranged for them, and then returned to Datang again.

……

After returning to Datang, Li Su organized a film tour abroad.

It's not the first time that a movie has been shown in a country other than Datang.

At present, only Datang has a power station.

Although Datang's science and technology have attracted talents from countless surrounding countries.

However, as Li Su expected, after these talents were cultivated into talents, the vast majority of talents chose to stay in Datang.

Because the knowledge they have learned is too advanced, after returning to their country, if they start from scratch, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to see results in their lifetime.

Of course, not everyone chooses to stay.

There are also some people who choose to return to China, and they are engaged in education and scientific research.

This also makes the surrounding countries, the level of science and technology, also in the process of rapid development.

However, compared with Datang, their speed is really not worth mentioning.

The two are completely incomparable.

Of course, there is no shortage of talent in these countries.

These talents, in some fields, can actually stand out.

It has been able to make the achievements of Datang's scientists also eye-catching.

Then, most of these talents were also bought by Datang.

Some of them have no way to refuse the generous conditions given by Datang.

There is also a part of the talent, they can resist the temptation, they are only obsessed with research.

But in their own country, there is no way to provide them with the conditions for further research.

For their research, they also had to come to Datang.

Because of the gap between basic conditions and scientific research level, which neighboring countries, although science and technology are also developing rapidly.

But there is still a long way to go before they can develop the generator alone.

I am afraid that it may not be possible to develop it in more than ten years or even decades.

Datang's films, television, lights and telephones have attracted countless nationals from neighboring countries.

There are many people from neighboring countries who secretly come to Datang to work.

Even girls from all countries are proud to be able to marry into the Tang Dynasty.

And Tang Emperor Li Ke, in order to attract the people of the surrounding countries, accepted the proposal of Li Su, the king of Shu.

Several teams are often organized to show films in these countries.

Of course, because there is no electricity in their country, they can only bring their own generators to show movies.

Datang's behavior has been widely praised and unanimously recognized by the people of neighboring countries.

These movies are so good.

Their favorite things to watch, in addition to martial arts, are some urban films.

Most of these urban films are based on Chang'an City or Yizhou New Town.

Because these two cities are developing the fastest.

The vast majority of the people of these neighboring countries have never been abroad.

When they saw it in the movie, these two cities turned out to be so prosperous.

Wide streets, tall buildings, beautiful houses, Mercedes-Benz cars, electric lights and telephones and a series of modern products.

Let them be full of longing and yearning for the life of Datang.

Let them feel that Datang is heaven!

Again, it's an invasion of their culture.

And this time, what Li Su decided to play to them was the film of Huaxia City.

Li Su believes that the development of Huaxia City will definitely be able to attract them.

……

At this time, the city built by the ten great families has gradually entered the formality.

With the arrival of the first supplies, then their people, quickly fired green bricks and cement nearby.

The pace of construction is further accelerated.

And after the video of the previous construction was passed back to China, the decision-making figures of these families, after some research.

They suddenly realized that the Golden State was really big.

From their territory, it will take a few months to reach Huaxia City.

Moreover, there is no official road at the moment.

If you send troops, it will take longer.

The current population of Huaxia City is not much.

In a short period of time, at least for decades, the chances of a conflict between the two sides are slim and slim.

In fact, why did the Tang Emperor agree to them to come to the Golden State to establish a state.

The people of these families also guessed a rough idea, after all, they are not stupid.

But in their hearts, they also have an account.

The so-called wealth is sought in danger.

Judging from the current situation, it is very unlikely that Li Su will attack them before his death.

And the next generation, they don't need to be afraid at all!

What's more, they have ten major families, could it be that the ten major families join forces, and they can't beat just one Huaxia City?

After a comprehensive investigation, these families decided to increase the intensity of construction.

This was an excellent time for their family to establish a nation.

If they miss this time, they may not be able to wait for the next opportunity.

Heaven does not take it, but suffers from it.

And the heritage of the family is indeed huge and terrifying.

They sent all kinds of supplies to the Golden State in a steady stream.

The speed of their construction is constantly improving.

And as time passed, they continued to expand outward.

The 50,000 acres of land they bought at the beginning were simply not enough for them.

And, they also need a lot of various minerals.

And the minerals they need are outside their territory.

Since Huaxia City was so far away from them, they didn't have any fears.

Began to frantically mine minerals, expand the territory, and constantly reclaim the land.

In the next step, they will move more people here.

They will continue to spend most of Datang to support the construction here.

Where is Datang, only a small part of the resources need to be left.

They decided to put the focus of construction all here.

The speed at which they deliver supplies is also extremely insane.

In addition to the normal maintenance of the giant ship, they are almost unwilling to let the giant ship stand still for a moment.

On the one hand, their construction requires a lot of materials.

On the other hand, their giant ships are all year-rounded.

Can't let this time go to waste, can you?

But the next time, when the giant ship arrived at Datang Wharf, they were about to carry materials to the giant ship, but at this time, the captain of the giant ship refused to let them continue to carry the materials.

These people from the family were dumbfounded for a moment.

"Why? Why can't you move supplies? We've been covering it for a year, but now the time hasn't come yet, and you don't have maintenance, why can't you use it? You've got to give us a good reason! ”
