Chapter 48: The First Justice of Los Angeles

Yang announced the name change of the river bay and the construction of the city.

There are too many river bays in the world, and a big river has wide waves, and if other people's villages are also river bays in the future, wouldn't it also be called river bays?

Therefore, Yang Li named the area where the regime of the two settlements was unified as Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is on the south bank of the Luoshui River, facing the mountain settlements, and there may be a bridge that will connect the two settlements in the future to form a single city, but for now they are separated like the historical Buda Pest.

The Danube River flows from north to south on the Hungarian plain, with Buda on the west bank and Pest on the east, until the eighteenth century, when industrial enough to build a bridge across nearly a kilometer of the river, connecting the two cities into one.

It is precisely because of the geographical location that the mountain settlement has become the fiefdom of Hayabusa.

Under the full construction of Yang Li, the south bank has formed a long and narrow agricultural area that is connected.

The cultivated land was distributed along the river, which had easy access to irrigation water, and occupied the most fertile land on the alluvial plain, and under a period of ploughing oxen and bronze ploughs, the fields were densely packed with ditches, and scattered among the cultivated land were shacks of various sizes, in which lived slave families, who were not yet fully emancipated, and who were subordinate to the slave owners.

The dwelling of the slave owner was instantly recognizable.

For no other reason, everyone is emulating the way the Great Chiefs build houses.

Even if you don't have that level, you have to learn how to look like seven or eight points, otherwise you are lagging behind the times, isolating yourself from the people, and can't keep up with the trend of the times.

The houses of the slave owners, mostly made of logs, were built as small two-story towers, square or cylindrical in shape, but the same was that the windows were opened smaller and served as shooting holes. The slave owner's living room was inside the tower, where weapons and food were stored.

At the same time, a piece of land was enclosed around the tower, and it was piled high with earth, forming a structure of low walls and wooden battlements, which had simple defense capabilities, like miniature military fortresses, and when a battle began, ten soldiers stood on the tower and the low wall, fearing that they could withstand more than three or four times the enemy.

Yang Li had discovered everyone's movements before, and said in his heart that the brothers in ancient times were very insecure, hahahaha, let you go.

But later, a few guys built the wall higher and higher, and he was originally assigned five slaves, counting seven or eight people in the family, all of them repaired the fortress, and the land was not cultivated much, so he was stopped by Yang Jiao.

The wind of comparison is indispensable, we in Los Angeles should take the production of food and tools as the primary goal, the house is too big and too good, and there can be a purchase restriction policy to increase the price? I haven't issued currency yet, so let's stop doing it.

So Yang Li set a standard, the tower can be built, but it cannot exceed two floors; The walled wall can be repaired, but it cannot exceed 200 square meters.

Besides, Yang Jiao is not afraid of the man-made rebellion of his subordinates, or the unhealthy trend of extravagance and comparison, which must be stopped.

At the same time, as the farmland was reclaimed one after another, the different plots were densely distributed among them, and there were also conflicts between the slave owners on these plots.

For example, which soybeans are growing happily, and they grow to other people's fields without paying attention.

Another example is which house's water canal location is problematic, affecting the irrigation of the next house.

These trivial things, said that they are not small, but they are not big, and when they were replaced by the previous settlements, the patriarch could provide some advice, but sometimes it was the two families who copied the guys and killed people.

But we can't be primitive people now, fighting and murdering privately are going to be arrested by the Los Angeles Patrol, the leader of the patrol team is Huya, he has nothing to do, and Yulia is responsible for military training, so the director of the Public Security Bureau let this guy serve temporarily, which family dares to make trouble, as long as Huya comes to the door, it will be caught, and he will be arrested and judged.

If you can't fight, then you have to resolve the conflict in a civilized way, but now the social structure has changed, there is no patriarch, there is no elder, and the contradictions between slave owners are only Yang Jiao has power and prestige to adjust.

The feudal court came into being.

The court was built on the east side of Luohe Castle, close to the main road, and at the same time close to a river, so that if water transportation started in the future, residents from farther away could easily come to the lawsuit.

Why should the court be so important, because it is the main tool for safeguarding the interests of the ruling class and ensuring the balance of the spoils, this tool is not for the slaves at the bottom, it is currently a beast with teeth and claws, a tool that Yang Li uses to balance the lower ruling class and shear sheep from them.

How do you shear wool? Collect court hearing fees.

The court fee is collected from the losing party, similar to a fine, part of which is used to compensate the victim, and the other part is deposited into Yang Li's coffers, so that Yang Li can have more money in addition to the fixed amount of tax collected from the slave owner each year.

In the Middle Ages, the court was one of the main sources of income for the lords, and historically they usually collected money from tenant farmers in the form of land rent and commercial taxes, but in a year, the income of the court often accounted for the second or third place of income, which was a very surprising amount of money in the Middle Ages, when the productivity was relatively backward.

Unlike the feudal courts, Yang Li was not oppressing the peasants, but the slave owners.

Slavery must be abolished after all, and it cannot be left unchecked.

The sun was shining, the flowers were smiling at me, and early this morning, Yang Li's court opened.

The big leader had two dark circles under his eyes, which stood out in the golden morning light.

Last night, he and Yulia fell in love with each other, and almost unlocked the last step of the achievement, although Mao Mei had a straight face and decided to wait for the goal of unifying the world to be achieved before giving it, but everyone knows that the girl's words can only be believed for five points, and when emotions explode, some things are not controllable by reason.

The two of them came to Yang Li's bedroom from the riverside, breathing heavily, and the bright moonlight shone through the narrow window, outlining a white rectangular light on the ground.

Yang Li took his fingers up from below and took a sip, it was already time for the fire, so he hugged Mao Mei and threw it into the animal skin bed, seeing that he was going to pick up the gun and get on the horse.

But suddenly the black shadow in front of the window flashed, alarming the two people in the fight, Yang Jiao rushed to the window to take a look, only to see the little tiger just fell from the top of the main fort, scurryed to the wooden wall, a few ups and downs, and ran away.

Yulia kissed Yang Li and said that it was not early, so go back to sleep.

This opportunity was fleeting, Yang Jiao was grinding the gun, and he naturally couldn't sleep for a while, and when the sky was slightly white outside, he barely fell asleep, and he didn't squint for long, and he had to struggle to get up.

The first thing he did when he got up was to let Xue Pijiang catch the little tiger and put him in the cowshed.

Zhen Mi was in tears, although inexplicable, she was still pleading for mercy.

Xue Bijiang said that according to the teachings of the big chief, the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival must not be ignored, and you can't run around if you have nothing to do, which is probably it, although I don't know the details.

Zhen Mi said okay, you have to put a few pieces of meat in it, it can't feed grass.

So Yang Jiao was psychologically balanced and came to the court.

Saying that, the stunned wood slapped it like this, and the officials on both sides suddenly put the water and fire sticks in their hands, and shouted: "Might-martial-"

Master Yang sat in the high hall, and the animal skin coats were all new, to show the importance he attached to today's verdict, he glared at the two people below, that is, the plaintiff and the defendant, and cleared his throat: "Chen Sanpi...... And Xue, Xue Pijiang? cough why are you, okay okay, Xiao Xue you have to sue Chen Sanpi, what kind of trouble is this? ”

Xue Pijiang dusted off a few handfuls of tiger hair on his head, and was a little apprehensive: "It's not that I sue him, I'm thinking about Comrade Sanpi's land reclamation skills, strong initiative and high enthusiasm, and he is a good clansman who is red and single-minded, so I might as well give him my piece of land." ”

"What?" Yang Li was shocked, you want to send the land, do you know how much land you have been allocated for so many military exploits!
