The most direct and effective way to talk to the ancients about the law is to engrave the law on a big stone, and then let everyone see it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Following the example of the Code of Hammurabi in ancient Babylon more than 2,000 years ago, Jiang Yin also engraved the main text of the New Song Law on a large stone pillar, and then stood in the center of Cangzhou Square.

The Code of Hammurabi is a compilation of laws promulgated by the ancient Babylonian king Hammurabi in the Middle East, and is the most representative cuneiform code and the earliest relatively complete and intact written code in the history of the world.

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, so it is also known as the "stone pillar method".

At the top of the stone pillar is a relief of King Hammurabi standing in front of Shamash, the god of the sun and justice, to receive the power symbol of royal power, to symbolize the divine right of kings and the inviolability of royal power; At the lower end is a codex inscription in Akkadian cuneiform, with a total of 3,500 lines and 282 articles.

The whole code consists of three parts: the preface, the main text and the conclusion, which occupy about one-fifth of the total length, and is rich in language and ornate in rhetoric, full of words that deify and glorify Hammurabi, and is a hymn to the king. The main text includes 282 laws, which provide detailed provisions on criminal, civil, trade, marriage, inheritance, and judicial systems.

For this way of promulgating laws full of contractual implications, Jiang Yin admires this style of promulgating laws.

The law is not only the embodiment of a country's bottom line, but also a basic knowledge that every citizen needs to understand and be familiar with.

However, in later generations, the law has not been well popularized, and in more areas with a low level of education, vicious incidents and ignorant incidents caused by ignorance of the law have occurred frequently, and the state does not seem to have paid attention to the popularization of the law, and even for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, studying the law and talking about the law is still the patent of a small number of people.

With the issuance of the reform, the government gradually strengthened and publicized the work of popularizing the law, and the entire social environment became more stable.

Jiang Yin, who has learned about these histories, is naturally very concerned about the legal construction of his own New Song Dynasty.

He hopes that every citizen in his area will understand and use the weapon of the law to protect his basic rights, and that those who follow the rules will receive more benefits, while those who do not follow the rules will be imprisoned.

Therefore, a stone pillar four meters high, two meters long at the last week, and three meters long at the bottom is engraved with the "New Song Law" in the center of Cangzhou Square.

Everyone in the world can watch this stone pillar, and everyone can know the laws of the New Song Kingdom.

The New Song Law covers almost all legal aspects, and regulates all four major categories: criminal, civil, economic, and administrative, and also praises some behaviors that advocate social morality.

This stone was erected here, and on the first day, it attracted the attention of countless scholars.

The fifth issue of the "New Song Daily" also followed suit, followed by a legal column, which by the way conveyed the requirements of His Majesty the Emperor, every official of the New Song Kingdom needs to be able to memorize the general legal provisions of the "New Song Law", and this year a year is left for the officials to memorize and read aloud.

At the beginning of next year, His Majesty the Emperor will randomly select 50 officials from the localities to report on their work in Beijing; once it is discovered that they do not know much about the "New Song Dynasty Law" and are fishing in troubled waters, they will resign from their official posts, and all the lower-level departments in the localities where they are located will also be inspected, and once they find officials who do not understand the "New Song Dynasty Law", they will all be dismissed immediately.

This also made many officials of the New Song Dynasty complain, and there was a harsh work task for no reason, saying that it must be false, but the emperor's words have already been spoken, as the Ninety-Five, it must be a golden mouth, and it can never be changed, therefore, the officials can only change themselves and force them to memorize the various legal provisions of the "New Song Law".

Not to mention, the officials of the Song people can't do a lot of things, but the strength of the officials' endorsement of this article is quite remarkable, Jiang Yin saw that Wang Sizong was holding the "New Song Law" every day, and it only took less than half a month, he could clearly say which chapter which article was what kind of law.

The work of popularizing the law has been implemented, and the first step for Jiang Yin is to let the scholars and officials understand the law first, and then they will spread the "New Song Law" to the whole society, and finally let them adapt to the society built by the new law as a whole....

As the census registration came to an end, the national statistics of the New Song Dynasty came to an end, with landlords accounting for less than 2 percent of the population, then scholars, about 4 percent, then 77 percent of the population, and 17 percent of the slaves.

These slaves were of all races, including the Song people, the Japanese people, the Koreans, and even the black Kunlun slaves, most of whom were taken captive or sold here because they had no money.

In order to maintain the first article of the New Song Dynasty "New Song Law": "All men are created equal." Jiang Yin paid for the redemption of all the slaves, and then opened a quarry and arranged all these slaves to work in the quarry.

Of course, there is no absolute equality in this world, and Jiang Yin is also fully aware of this, the so-called equality is just a fig leaf for the weak stipulated by the strong because of morality.

Once the strong have no morality, then for the weak, there is no equality in this world.

However, if such things happen more and more, a country and a nation will not be far from extinction.

Every decision Jiang Yin made for the New Song Kingdom needs to be measured to a degree, a degree to control a country, neither too tightly nor too loosely.

Now he is the Son of Heaven, and he is the kind of dictatorship who can monopolize power, in this era when the emperor's order is supreme, he holds the military power of modern weapons in his hands, and he steps on the ladder of modern materials, and no one has the ability to stop him.

He can slaughter and indulge in debauchery, as long as he opens his mouth, he can decide the life and death of thousands of people, under this right, he can follow the law, and every sentence can become the law on the "New Song Law".

But he became more and more cautious, conscientiously driving the ship of the New Song Kingdom, heading towards the unknown distance, in this dynasty, his goal is by no means to enjoy and squander, with great ability, conquest and expansion is the deepest ambition in his heart, everything he does now is also to prepare for the empire to rule a wider field in the future......
