In the cold weather, stepping outside is actually a very big test. Obviously, when I was outside the Saiwai last year, Lin Ji could still climb the Daxing'an Mountains in the snow, but at this time, I felt that it was a little difficult to go out.

The 1.5 square kilometre square square, which had been vacant, has now been almost completed.

Centrally north of the square is the Royal Palace. To the east behind the palace is a menagerie surrounded by stone walls. To the west is a lawn left by the forest trail. The main entrance of the royal palace is a square and road of tens of thousands of square meters. On the opposite side of the square, the Military Yuan, the Government Council, and the Elders' House were built in turn.

Lin Ji put on his coat and went out, and after almost being blown by the wind, he went to the zoo in the back first. The little white black dog, the white horse, and the panda who had just started to follow the team also followed the forest trail.

Inside the high walls, some of the transplanted trees were bare in the snow and ice. In spring and summer, there should be grass on the ground, but at this time there is only snow foam that has been trampled into mud.

Lin Ji opened the small door next to the iron gate and entered, and saw two mammoths more than two meters tall rushing inside.

Chen Li and the others hurriedly protected Lin Ji behind them, and wanted to stop the two elephants, but Xiaobai had already walked around the crowd and was holding the two elephants and making trouble.

These are the two baby elephants that Xiaobai picked out before, and who had followed the forest trail to the killer whale tribe. A few years have passed, and they are more than ten years old, and in two years they will reach adulthood.

The old man who runs the zoo complains: "They are too naughty. The trees that are planted and the walls that are built will be lost in the blink of an eye if you don't look at them. Tigers and pandas are afraid of them. And those monkeys, too, are making trouble together. It's okay to look at it, so I'll let them move the broken ones back up. They also have a lot of strength......"

The old man whistled, and two big monkeys climbed over the stone wall with three or four small monkeys, and the old man took some peanuts and threw them up, and explained to Lin Ji: "There are cubs, and two are sent by others from outside the city." I saw that they all looked the same, so I put them together. But the queen said, "The number of monkeys should not be large, and when they are bigger, I will send them out." ”

The two saber-toothed tigers lived in the stone chamber, and the white-haired one was obviously a little decadent and old, lying on its stomach and unwilling to move much. The variegated one sniffed his nose and quickly rushed to the door of the stone chamber, climbing the stone wall and jumping outward.

Chen Li wanted to protect the forest trails again, and Xiaobai had already come around from behind.

Xiaobai hugged the female saber-toothed tiger who was not smaller than it, and the female shook her head and seemed to enjoy it very much. also put his head in Xiaobai's arms for a good time.

"It just gave birth to two cubs. All of them are white-haired. But he was asked to leave by Aman. At most, I brought some milk every day. This tigress is too wild. Sometimes we bring in some living creatures, and before they can slaughter them, they bite it to death. We all have to guard against it. But my lord, if you have time to take it out hunting, it's fine. It doesn't eat its prey after it bites it, and waits for the tiger to eat it......"

The old man chattered, but suddenly found that he was greeted by the angry eyes of several guards, and he chuckled in his heart, and did not dare to say any more. The king had just returned, and if he had been told to go out again, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

Lin Ji turned a blind eye to these and turned his head to look at the panda. The female panda is kept in a large wooden cage of about ten square meters. As soon as the little panda arrived, he walked to the cage and rubbed against the cage and hummed.

The female panda apparently has no maternal love for this little one. And there wasn't much reaction. It just cowered in a corner and gnawed on the bamboo, occasionally raising its eyes, and also looking at the direction of the tiger fence quite vigilantly. This place is good for everything, it's just too dangerous.

"It crawled out and bit people, and it had to be locked up. In fact, the bite is not heavy. It usually hugs my leg when I go in. But I'm afraid that it will hurt Xiao Yue'er, so I can only do this......"

In addition to these, the zoo also has ...... Pig.

A stout flock of black pigs with fangs.

As for how there was, Lin Ji figured it out with his toes. These should have been obtained from Ji Lin. At this time, everyone was still hunting and eating meat, and there were professional hunting teams in the city. Therefore, these pigs have been kept for several years.

"Keep the few that don't have fangs, and let the others be killed and eaten." Lin Ji commanded, turned his head and walked out of the zoo. Should I get a braised pig's trotters or something at night? It's been a long time since I've eaten this bite, and I'm panicking.

……

The military court is solemn and deserted, the government council is busy, but the elders' house is noisy.

When Lin Ji entered the House of Elders, he signaled that he didn't need to be reported, and quietly entered the council hall and hid to the side to watch. Hu Aman and Da Ji, who were sitting on the rostrum, saw him and wanted to stand up, but Lin Ji waved his hand to stop him.

There were actually three or five male elders in the House of Elders. The accents inside are also quite diverse. The scene of dozens of women and three or five men arguing with different accents was very lively. Moreover, these old men and old ladies who are full of responsibility quarrel and have no intention of compromising at all.

The quarrel seems to be focused on the lawlessness of a group of children, and the elders discuss whether to punish the children or cancel their parental pensions.

"What's the situation?" Lin Ji turned his head and asked the secretary next to him.

At this time, when the kingdom was first established, officials at all levels were actually still relatively young, and their children should not have the possibility of becoming a gentleman, how could there be children lawless in the city?

What about the abolition of their father's pension?

Lin Ji's secretary didn't know much about the situation either, so he had to ask the clerk of the House of Elders. Hu Aman felt that the situation was almost over, so he knocked on the gavel and ended everyone's quarrel. Please go to the viewing platform and take a seat.

The House of Elders exercises judicial power. Lin Ji holds the legislative power and does not interfere in the judicial process. If he felt that the sentence was inappropriate, he could only amend the law and ask for a heavier sentence. However, it is not possible to take a position on the adjudication process. This is also to restrain some of the royal power, so that most people can rest assured, although in the final analysis, it does not make Lin Ji lose any power.

The elders saluted indiscriminately to Lin Ji, and after Hu Aman restrained the discipline of the venue, he explained to Lin Ji: "Outside the elephant breeding field in the city, a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old children gathered to make trouble. Their parents were martyrs, and according to the regulations, they were given priority to go to secondary school. But he repeatedly failed the exam and was expelled. They complained, they didn't go to work, they stole in the city, they fought, they rode elephants in the streets, etc., and they ran faster than the police, and they couldn't catch them. So we're ready to make a ruling. Let everyone vote on whether to punish these children with all their might, or to recommend to you that the bereavement benefits of these fathers be abolished. ”

At this time, educational resources were limited, and even junior high schools were based on merit-based education. That is, if you fail the exam, you may be expelled in order to save educational resources.

Most of the police in the city are disabled veterans. It's okay to maintain basic order, but it's too hard for them to chase crime. These fourteen or fifteen-year-old children run so fast that they probably can't catch them if they want to.

In order to let the soldiers fight hard, Lin Ji proposed relatively generous pension conditions. Among them, military children are given priority to go to school. The eldest child can be paid before his death, and the eldest child is eighteen years old, and the kingdom helps to support the other children, etc. This allows those children whose parents died in the war to survive under relatively favorable conditions.

Lin Ji nodded in understanding: "Okay, let's vote." ”

The vote was by show of hands. The votes are counted by the clerk. The final result of the vote was to punish the child.

After the vote, the elders quarreled again, how to punish the punishment? These children can't be caught, so is it difficult to send bailiffs to arrest them? This is not in accordance with the regulations.

Lin Ji stood up and said, "You can suggest that the Government Council send someone to arrest it." Or let the police station increase its staffing. But you can't catch it. Now that your suggestion has not yet been issued, I will add another decree: In the future, if the police ask questions, and those who dare not cooperate or flee will be punished with five strokes if they are not guilty. Guilty plus one degree. ”

To solve the problem of criminal arrest, it is natural to increase the number of special police officers among the police to increase the arrest force. However, Lin Xi didn't want the disabled police officers who had shed blood to be disrespected, so he added this article.

As for the arrest of those children, Lin Ji felt that he could just go. He didn't allow any street thugs to appear in his kingdom. Learn from the Golden Rong Du Yuesheng? Inexistent. Now that there are so few people, no one should be left idle.

When he went out and whistled, the two half-sized mammoths rushed over, and the ghost eagle was still floating in the sky.

Let Chen Li gather twenty or thirty people, and the group will kill the elephant farm in the city.

Outside the elephant farm is a continuous pasture. That's where Xiaobai raised a big cat. The grassland is surrounded by a wall, Xiaobai is familiar with the back of a wall, a climb jumped, and soon there was a sound of shouting and running inside.

"The police are coming, run!" The children's heads were exposed on the walls, and they clearly wanted to escape over the walls. The grass is wide, and if they climb over the wall, it is still easy to run.

"Don't be afraid, it's Xiaobai who comes."

"That's when the king comes, don't run. Come to the gate to meet the king. Someone shouted this, and the children who had just climbed the wall retreated.

The guards who had already taken out their whips were secretly impressed, so they had to hug the forest trails to the gate of the pasture.

When Lin Ji arrived at the main gate of the pasture, he saw more than 30 children lining up in two groups. One of the children led by him was tall, and after seeing Lin Ji, he stopped clasping his fists and singing: "I've seen the king." ”

Lin Ji sat on the horse and asked, "Who are you kidding, what are you doing hiding in the pasture?" ”

The child said: "My adoptive father is Zhao Jiatou, who turned out to be the commander of the ten masters under the command of Earl Shibei. The year before last, he was killed in battle in the east. My mother was Liu Zhi'er and helped in the ironworks kitchen. My name is Yixin, and I have just been expelled from middle school. ”

"Did you tell them not to climb over the wall and line up to meet me?" Lin Ji asked.

"Yes."

"Why?" Lin Ji's expression became more and more cold, and his heart became more and more disgusted with this child. Such a smart child may not be able to read good books if he puts his brain on learning. And he had just experienced the betrayal of the blazing middle, and he really didn't have a good impression of these people who were smart but not interested in the right path.

"We can't outrun the king." Yixin bowed his head and said.

Lin Ji said sharply: "I know that I can't run, so do you know that I don't raise idlers in Huaxia?" You have been expelled from school, and if you have any objections, you can go to the Elders' House to respond, what are you doing here? ”

"I ...... We are waiting for the king here. Yixin muttered.

"Oh? Still waiting for me? So what are you going to do with me? Lin Ji's expression eased, and he also wanted to know what these children wanted to do.

Yixin said: "I originally wanted to go to the grassland. But my mother didn't agree, she wanted me to learn carpentry. ”
