"Your Majesty, this is the general volume of the Code of Justinian, this is the compilation volume....... this is the new law volume, this is a total of twelve volumes, and after consulting with Bliss and other gentlemen, I have decided to call them the Encyclopedia of Civil Law...... Patrick said as he introduced it to Li Lu, "These are the original Greek written on papyrus, and the Chinese version you want is ...... here."

Patrick picked up a few thread-bound books and handed them to Li Lu, "Your Majesty, this is Justinian's new law, which is a compilation of one hundred and sixty-eight new edicts issued by Justinian the Great after the completion of the compilation of the code, and its main content belongs to administrative regulations, of course, there are also norms on the inheritance system........

Li Lu generally looked through this new law of Justinian, and found that it was already very similar to some legal provisions he had read in his previous life, "It is indeed worthy of the ancestor of the civil law system...... Although this code has a strong color of serfdom, the spirit of stressing the rule of law or the Central Plains legal system that emphasizes etiquette and rule of man is much stronger. Li Lu thought as he looked through it.

"Gentlemen, I am satisfied with your efforts....... you are all elites of the law, and you are my treasures......" Li Lu closed the legal code and looked at several jurists invited from the Eastern Roman Empire, and said word by word, "I very much agree with the statement that the law is the last wall that can guarantee fairness....... I have always advocated the rule of law...... I would like to ask you to compile a codified code for my country that is suitable for our national conditions......"

The reason why Li Lu dared to hand over this task to these Eastern Romans was because they had all accepted the Grassland Dao and become loyal believers in the Daomen, and at the same time entered Li Lu's nationality.

"Your Majesty, in addition to compiling Roman law and Justinian's code, he also studied the great works of the Chinese Legalists...... The minister thought that we could learn from the legal codes of Rome and the Qin and Han dynasties at the same time, and complete our new legal code on their basis......" Patrick was very excited after listening to Li Lu's words, which showed that they had eaten the emperor's food again in England.

"Your Majesty, the minister felt that the matter must be very cumbersome, and that Roman law and the Code of Justinian defended the interests of the slave owners; And the landlord class protected by the Chinese "Book of Law", "Qin Law" and other laws...... We in the UK are completely different from these two, our pillar is the business owner....." Bliser also said.

Blis'er's words made Li Lu feel very surprised, this old man's eyes were very sharp, "Several gentlemen, the compilation of the code cannot be done overnight, and I am not so anxious...... It's not too late for you to walk around England and take a look at it, and then start compiling it....." Li Lu said with a smile, "You don't have to be afraid of insufficient manpower, I also have a few legal talents in my hands..."

After Li Lu explained a few words, he sent away these jurists who had become highly Chinese, and then returned to his dormitory, continued to study history books, and began to think about how to strengthen anti-corruption work again. In order for these laws and regulations to be implemented, it is indispensable to establish and improve law enforcement agencies.

Take Chang'an in the east as an example, the permanent institution of the Tang Dynasty to supervise officials is the Yushitai, and the prevention of corruption starts from two aspects: supervising officials and improving economic management. In addition, the establishment of a number of systems, such as the evaluation, appointment and dismissal, tenure of office, recusal, and rewards and punishments of officials, has also formed constraints in different aspects, reducing the possibility of officials at all levels abusing their powers.

In Li Tang, low-level officials who commit corruption crimes can usually be investigated and punished according to law, but whether they can punish the corruption of high-ranking officials and royal family members with special backgrounds, relatives and even eunuchs depends on the emperor's attitude.

Sometimes, the punishment of such persons exceeds the provisions of laws and regulations, but most of them are below the sentencing standards of laws and regulations, and even with the consent of the emperor, they are exempted from punishment. The punishment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials implements double standards, which is an important reason why Li Tang's corruption has been repeatedly banned, even when Li Er was the emperor, there were actually many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, just because the Tang Dynasty had just come out of the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and they were very poor, and they didn't have to be greedy for ink.

As a traveler, Li Lu understands very well that the drawbacks of the feudal bureaucracy are the root cause of the repeated prohibition of corruption by officials. The feudal bureaucracy centered on absolute monarchical power, and there was a politically strict personal dependency relationship between monarchs and ministers, superiors and subordinates, and bribery gradually became a means of regulating political relations with material interests.

The operation of the political system, and by the control of traditional culture, advocates "filial piety at home, loyalty to the country", the entry must be loyal to the monarch to serve the country, the so-called loyalty, theoretically includes the completion of the political goals stipulated by the monarch, in political life to abide by political discipline and regulations, maintain the existing hierarchy, and the actual judging criteria in the hands of the emperor, as the only Yongzheng in the Manchu Dynasty said: "I say hello, you are really good." "Everyone knows how harmful this is.

In addition, the monarch's requirements for his ministers are first of all loyalty, and secondly, integrity, whether they are honest or not is still judged by the monarch, and everything is determined by the political needs of the monarch.

When Li Lu read the part of the history book about law and anti-corruption, he sighed and said, "Sure enough, politics and corruption by officials cannot be eradicated by the harsh laws of human society, nor can they be stopped by irony and preaching under ** conditions, no matter how many people like Zou Ji are, it is useless." ”

"Giggles, husband, what are you talking about, Zou Ji's sarcasm of the King of Qi is a good story for the ages, how can you say that people like Zou Ji are useless?" A crisp laugh came, and Li Lu looked up and saw that it was Wu Mei.

"Mei Niang, are you back? How many of them are there? Li Lu said with a smile.

"Sister Changle was called by Sasha and Irina to go fishing, Sister Aduo accompanied her mother to the Golden Bull Guanshangxiang, I heard Caidie say that you are reading the history books, I said in my heart why did you read the Spring and Autumn Period, so I came to take a look...... Wu Mei said with a smile, "Husband, I heard that you have met a few Legalists over there in Eastern Rome...... Is there something we can learn from their laws?? ”

"Oh, this is the Code of Justinian I told you, Mei Niang, look at ....." Li Lu pushed the Code of Justinian in front of Wu Mei.

"I see, I don't believe it, there is still a national law that can surpass the ..... of Huaxia" Wu Mei said while looking at it, she looked at it for a long time, and when she saw that the woman also had the right to inherit, she couldn't help but say, "This law is so ......."

After swallowing the dates and reading the general treatise of the Codex in a hurry, Wu Mei raised her head and said to Li Lu, "The Justinian Code of Fujun is still very meaningful, I take back what I said before, especially this imperial power is unlimited and everyone must abide by the law, well......."

Wu Mei is the woman with the highest political sensitivity and level among Li Lu's women, and she is keenly aware of the merits of this code, "If we can integrate this code with the Chinese codes such as Qin Law and Han Law, and combine it with the actual situation we have issued, wouldn't it be possible to formulate a masterpiece that far surpasses these codes?" Speaking of this, Wu Mei's phoenix eyes flashed with wisdom.

"Hehehe, I've already asked someone to do it, maybe it will take a long time......," Li Lu said with a smile, "After all, codification is not a trivial matter......

"Well, husband, what you said is extremely ....." Wu Mei said approvingly, she looked at the history books that Li Lu was looking through, "My good husband, you don't know what the big truth is when you look at history?" ”

What? Major principle? Li Lu was stunned for a moment, he thought for a while and said, "I, I saw a dynastic cycle law.....

"Huh, the dynastic periodic law? How so? Wu Mei became interested.

"Mei Niang, I saw from the history books that from the Qin and Han dynasties to the former Sui Dynasty, although the reasons for the demise were not exactly the same, but corruption**, like ants biting on the pillar, over time, the pillar decayed like slag, and the Huawu collapsed." Li Road's face became solemn, "In the early years of the dynasty, we must pay close attention to the anti-corruption struggle; After the middle of the dynasty, the anti-corruption struggle gradually became nominal in name; In the last years of the dynasty, corruption was rampant, the people were struggling to make a living, and the dynasty perished; In the early years of the 'new' dynasty, the anti-corruption struggle was vigorously grasped, and after the middle ...... of the 'new' dynasty, "such a cyclical law became a historical reincarnation ....... that cannot be escaped"
