"Yes, in the final analysis, the Industrial Revolution is a transformation of human society. ”

Gu Yang nodded and said with a smile:

"If you want to build an industrial country, the important thing is not to gain local governance, but to concentrate people, and urbanization is the basis for the progress of human mechanical civilization. You have also seen the interstellar civilization of human beings on Earth, often a planet, there is only one super city. The big capitalists, on the other hand, lived like slave owners and kings in their estates outside the city. ”

"I see. ”

Gu Xiaomeng was in high spirits, and said suspiciously:

"But those lords and ladies don't understand what I'm talking about at all, let alone hand over people to me, even if it is the establishment of a modern society under the rule of law, they won't approve of it. ”

"This question has been thought of for a long time. ”

Gu Yang smiled and said lightly:

"In the twentieth century, there was a genius statesman in human society who put forward a great social conception - the implementation of two systems within one country. As long as your politics is for the people, it's not impossible.

You can also practice capitalism in the main city and continue to maintain feudalism elsewhere, provided that the free movement of the population is guaranteed. For the public, as long as there is money to make and a good life to live, they will make a wise choice. It is imperative to organize a fair examination and re-establish the administrative system of the city. ”

"I know what to do. ”

For Gu Yang's suggestion, the girl smiled mysteriously, stepped on the lotus platform and turned away. Gu Yang smiled slightly, closed his eyes and continued to breathe.

Gu Xiaomeng returned to the bottom of the tower again and looked carefully at the hundreds of male and female monks in front of him. Among them, there are hundreds of "Heavenly Masters", and the rest are all "Heavenly Beings". These are the ruling class of Valan, which directly controls the island's population and resources.

In the face of the scrutinizing gaze of the new "Heavenly Monarch", all the monks were numb in their scalps, for fear that this person would not be enough to loot Valan City, and even they would have to serve it themselves? Especially those lords who were close to the Valan family, their faces suddenly turned ugly and they were as silent as cicadas.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is the same everywhere. Suddenly, the female general in silver armor stepped forward and hugged her fists:

"May I ask my lord, how much tribute do our vassals have to pay every year? ”

Gu Xiaomeng was obviously stunned, and immediately reacted, the administrative capacity here is low, it is extremely difficult to collect taxes, and the tribute of the vassals is the main source of national finance. However, Queen Gu Xiaomeng, who has governed the small heavenly realm, where can she see this kind of "pediatrics", she waved her little hand and said:

"You don't need to pay tribute, but the rebuilding of Walan City needs manpower. I will recruit workers from all over the country, and you cannot stand in the way. ”

All the lords were stunned, and they couldn't believe their ears. Isn't it true that the "Heavenly Monarch" occupies the territory and establishes the country just to collect cultivation resources? What does this person want to do if he doesn't want them to pay tribute?

Gu Xiaomeng's eyes were certain, and then said:

"From now on, I will re-establish the law. In Valan Island, it is passable as one. The only one who violates my law is Jian'er! Mozi, show me the full text of the "Napoleonic Code", "Hammurabi's Code", and "Ming Huidian". ”

"Yes. ”

A blue light flashed in Mozi's eyes, and he immediately took out a jade slip and said:

"This is the latest abridged edition, and I have logically organized the categories of the three codes. ”

Gu Xiaomeng took it in his hand and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a long treatise written in red, yellow, and blue, red represents the "Ming Huidian", yellow represents the "Hammurabi Code", and blue represents the "Napoleonic Code", and some of the sentences are written in silver characters, which is a common principle of the three codes.

The past is more than a thousand years, and looking back, the context of the three codes is clear. The Napoleonic Code is based on the people, the Ming Huidian is based on the officials, and the Hammurabi Code is based on the gods. In a sense, the three codes of law are opposites and unified.

With the wisdom and experience of the "Heavenly Monarch", Gu Xiaomeng immediately drafted a new legal code, and then raised his hand and pointed at it, and the stone tablet engraved with the laws of the Principality of Walan in the distance exploded.

Before the fragment landed, it condensed again, and the words on it had taken on a new look.

"This is our new Codex, which I have named the Tiangang Code, and now you can swear allegiance to the Codex. ”

Gu Xiaomeng said, grabbing the new stone tablet in front of the pagoda.

Everyone looked at it intently, only to feel a supreme majesty rushing to their faces, and their brains were "buzzing".

The words on the stele are more pure Dao Shen Wen, containing the rules and rhyme of the world, and the content is clear at a glance.

The entire code is clearly organized, with detailed provisions on property rights, human rights, civil rights, state power, and divine rights. Compared to the laws promulgated by the Valan family, the entire code of laws is much friendlier to the common people, at least everyone is equal before the law.

Although the "heavenly" powerhouses still have an absolute advantage in the economy, they no longer have political privileges, and they will be punished by law if they commit crimes. The only thing that is acceptable to them is that there is no torture in the punishment, let alone the death penalty. The heaviest punishment is only deprivation of cultivation and life imprisonment.

As a "heavenly" powerhouse, what he enjoys is not civil rights, but divine rights. In this new kingdom, the monks are equivalent to the clergy. The clergy are entitled to the worship of the state, and their duty is to protect the state.

"This code doesn't look bad...... a female celestial master muttered in a low voice.

"Let's be loyal to a codex, what are we doing......" A male celestial master also looked ignorant.

"We will do whatever the lord asks us to do, and ask so much for what!"

If you violate the law after taking the oath, you will not only be punished by the law enforcers, but also by the oath. ”

......

When it comes to their own interests, everyone finally began to carefully study the "Tiangang Code" in front of them. After all, once the oath is taken, if it is violated, the consequences are unimaginable. And now, if you don't take the oath, you will face the purge of this new lord.

Gu Xiaomeng finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone was getting serious. Although this group of people does not understand the spirit of the modern rule of law, they understand what is in the code and what is not good for them.

For example, in the law of the Valan family, the nobles only have to pay money for hurting the commoners, and the commoners have to pay for their lives if they hurt the nobles, which is obviously a clause in their favor. However, there is no similar clause in the "Tiangang Code", and monks who kill people must be punished by law.

There is no death penalty in the penalty, and according to the interpretation of the code, no one will transfer the right to deprive oneself of one's own life to another, so a State governed by the rule of law does not have the power to deprive citizens of their lives. However, in the eyes of the powerful people, this is a compromise with them. After all, if the death penalty is to be carried out against the "heavenly position" monk, the resistance can be imagined.
