Chapter 303: The Ten Articles of the Law, 1/2

"Article 1, it is forbidden to fight in private, violators of the whip ten times, if there is a casualty, the punishment will be increased; Article 2, it is forbidden to waste food, and offenders will be whipped ten times; Thirdly, it is forbidden to pull a sa at will in the city, and the offender will be whipped ten times; Article 4 ......"

The three cities of the Dragon Tribe, Source City, Chicheng, and Zhucheng, almost at the same time, after the coming-of-age ceremony of the new batch of clansmen, Mu Yi, the Minister of the Criminal Department, Shan Yan, the Minister of the Chicheng Branch of the Criminal Department, and Ying Xiu, the Minister of the Zhucheng Branch of the Criminal Department, announced the first law of the Dragon Tribe-"Ten Articles of the Law" to all the clansmen in the three cities.

Yes, the first law of the dragon tribe was only ten.

The Dragon Tribe is still a tribe that implements public ownership, and there are not many laws that can be used, after careful consideration, Su Yan deleted and reduced only the "Ten Articles of the Law", which is simple and clear, and the clansmen can understand that if it is replaced by a private ownership society, the number of laws will increase to more than ten times.

For example, in Su Yan's previous life, the world's earliest relatively complete preserved written code - "Hammurabi Code", which is a compilation of laws promulgated by the ancient Babylonian king Hammurabi (reigned from about 1792 BC to 1750 BC) in the Middle East, is the most representative cuneiform code.

The original text of the Code of Hammurabi is engraved on a black basalt pillar with a height of 2.25 meters, a circumference of 1.65 meters, and a circumference of 1.90 meters at the bottom, which is composed of three parts: the preface, the main text and the conclusion, the preface and the epilogue account for about one-fifth of the total length, the language is rich, the rhetoric is gorgeous, full of deification, beautifying Hammurabi's words, is a hymn to the king, the text includes 282 laws, and the criminal, civil, trade, marriage, inheritance, trial and other systems have been made detailed provisions.

A comparison of the Ten Articles of the Law with the Code of Hammurabi shows the great difference between a society of public ownership and a society of private ownership, the most obvious of which is that society has become complex from simple.

There are very few things to consider in a public-owned society, everyone works together, food is distributed "equally", even the housing is almost the same, everything is decided by the king, and the people only need to do what they are told.

Switching to a private ownership society, the things that need to be considered are greatly increased, but as the population of the dragon tribe continues to increase, the development from a public ownership society to a private ownership society is a necessary way to go, and in this process, the laws of the dragon tribe will also continue to increase, in order to maintain the stability within the dragon tribe.

In addition to the ten provisions of the main text, there are several remarks in the Ten Articles of the Law:

"The first note is that the Ten Articles of the Law apply to all ages of the Dragon Tribe, and those under the age of twelve who violate the law will have their parents in their place."

The so-called son does not teach, the fault of the parents, parents must educate and take care of their children, in addition, this remark can also increase the relationship between parents and children to a certain extent.

"The second note is that the king is the law-maker, and is not restricted by the law, but has the right to change the law and exempt his people from punishment." The power of the king is determined in writing, and even the patriarchs of the various clans and the witches must be limited by the law, but the king will not, and there is also the power to pardon the clansmen, and the king is supreme in the dragon tribe.

In fact, the "Ten Articles of the Law" is not very restrictive to the people of the Dragon Tribe, and the clansmen should have done this, and now it is listed by Su Yan on paper, so that the clansmen can keep it in mind, remember not to violate, adult clansmen must also discipline their children, and habits should be developed from childhood.

With the establishment of the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Rites was also established, the Minister of Rites was served by the Snake Witch, who was two or three years older than Su Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites Chicheng Branch was served by the young Tiger Witch, and the head of the Luble Zhucheng Branch was served by the Deer Witch, who was already in his thirties.

With the death of the older generation of witches, the major clans of the dragon tribe are about to be taken over by a new generation of witches.

Originally, Wu was mainly responsible for the three things of sacrifice, healing, and recording knowledge, but after taking up the position, their affairs became more, and the snake witch, tiger witch, and deer witch did not want to take over the position, but with the order of Su Yan, the king, Su Yan also patiently persuaded them, and they took the position of minister and branch minister.

Su Yan wants to make a little change to Wu, Wu is a profession, but because of their relationship with God, they become "unattainable" in the eyes of ordinary clansmen, and they cannot be easily contacted, Wu is also a human, and Wu should be better integrated into the tribe.

What Su Yan wants to change most is that Wu does not marry a wife and have children, and the clansmen are qualified to give birth to offspring, and Wu should not be excluded.

With the establishment of the Ministry of Rites, everything will slowly change.

……

This year, there are a total of 206 male tribesmen and 210 female tribesmen of the Dragon tribe who have reached adulthood, and as of the day of the spring festival, the total population of the Dragon tribe is nearly 15,000, of which the adult male tribe is just over 2,000, the adult female tribe is more than 3,500 people, and there are 146 slaves.

After the end of the spring festival, the dragon tribe was not busy preparing for foreign wars, and after the spring ploughing was over, Su Yan would personally lead the team to attack the Niu tribe on the south bank of the river in five boats.

The conquest team consisted of all adult male clansmen, and all the hunting teams of the three cities joined them, and four more tuns were mobilized from the reserves of the three cities, making a total of ten tuns, and the total number of people in the fleet would be close to five hundred.

The conquest team composed of ten tuns can easily defeat even if facing twice or three times the enemy, which is the belief born of the dragon tribe for many years - the dragon tribe is invincible!

In the time leading up to the spring ploughing, all the members of the expedition team will concentrate on training in the source city, both on land and on boats, but no one will get seasick when the boat is sailing on the river.

The possibility of seasickness among the clansmen is very small, but there is still a certain chance of occurring, and it needs to be overcome in advance.

More than a month passed quickly, spring ploughing began, even the clansmen of the expedition team had to join in the spring ploughing, this year the dragon tribe will plant 60,000 acres of millet, 9,000 acres of hemp, 9,000 acres of soybeans.

Most of the adult clansmen and juvenile clansmen over the age of twelve of the dragon tribe are put into spring ploughing and labor, which is equivalent to each clansman having to cultivate more than ten acres of land, even if there is a manpower plough, the current area of the dragon tribe's cultivated land has almost reached the upper limit of the dragon tribe, after all, people will be tired.

Before the arrival of the third month of spring, the spring ploughing is over, the five A-type ships dock at the Zhucheng wharf, and the expedition team rests in Zhucheng for a day, and tomorrow is the day when the Dragon Tribe officially goes south to conquer the Niu Tribe. (https:)
