In the fourth month of Wen Jiming's arrival at De Motrio's house, the old father-in-law De Motrio finally spent the last days of his life and passed away.

Wen Jiming didn't know if the old man had gone to the heaven of his dreams, but he still sincerely wished the old man that he could really go to heaven like the legend.

The archmage who had sent Wen Jiming and left on the third day, a few days after Demotrio's death, rushed over again to attend and personally preside over the old man's funeral, and Wen Jiming finally met Karina's mother, his future mother-in-law, at the funeral.

Karina's mother first chatted with Karina for a long time, and then came over to Wen Jiming to say a few words, such as taking care of Karina, and left. Because she has always worn a black veil, Wen Jiming has never seen what her future mother-in-law looks like.

Wen Jiming himself was a little puzzled, because Karina's mother was not very enthusiastic about herself, but thinking of her own, future mother-in-law's husband had just died, she must be very sad, and it was the first time the two had met, this situation was understandable, so it didn't take long for Wen Jiming to completely forget about it.

------------------------------------------------------

On October 2, 735 in the Great Xia calendar, Wen Jiming took Karina and others back to his territory Chengdu City.

Four months have passed, and Han County seems to have changed a little, there are a lot of houses in Chengdu, and the commercial streets in the city have also expanded a lot, and many new shops and dining and entertainment venues have appeared, among which there is a Daxia version of the Qinglou, which is called Zhangtai by the Daxia people.

In a princely territory like Chengdu City, it is relatively rare to see this kind of business, because in normal times, most of Zhangtai is engaged in the business of people like nobles and big merchants. Most of them are opened in the capital, or in extremely prosperous big cities, but now there is a room in Chengdu, which shows that big businessmen are beginning to be optimistic about the prospects of Chengdu.

The autumn harvest has come to an end, and this year's autumn grain income in the entire Han County has been nearly 10 percent more than in previous years, which is still done on the basis of five public and five people, and it is conceivable that the income of the peasants this year has increased a lot compared with the past, so Wen Jiming's popularity in the entire Han County has almost reached the extreme.

According to rumors, there are now tablets of Wen Jiming and Wenshen in many farmers' homes, and the incense in Wenshen Temple is much more prosperous than four months ago.

Karina brought a lot of her own servants, basically all of whom used to serve the old man and her own water spirit servants at home, but including Karina herself, these people are not able to speak Daxia at present, so she had to let Xiao Lola help Zhang Luo and arrange the rooms for Karina and her servants in the Wen Mansion.

At present, the newly expanded mansion is very large, and there are eight courtyards in the back house for the female dependents alone, so there are spare rooms, and Karina and the water elf servants she brought were arranged by Xiao Lola into a courtyard very close to Wen Jiming's residence.

Wen Jiming convened a meeting of the important ministers in charge of the county's affairs as soon as he returned home, and after listening to the various reports of the retainers, Wen Jiming asked Wen Li, the elder of the family who was responsible for formulating the laws of Han County.

"Now the last revised draft of our Han County law has been completed?"

The elder Wenli stood up from his seat, bowed and replied.

"It's done, just waiting for the Lord to preview."

With that, Wen Li took out the prepared manuscript, walked forward, and handed it to the spirit, who had been promoted to a personal secretary.

Ling hurriedly took a step forward, took the manuscript handed over by the elder with both hands, and then turned around and respectfully handed it to Wen Jiming.

Wen Jiming picked up the twenty-page manuscript and flipped through it carefully, checking them one by one. After spending twenty minutes reading carefully, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Dashan, just release it like this, and wait for me to calculate the auspicious day first."

After that, Wen Jiming took out sixteen wooden cards, which were said to be made of spiritual psychic wood. Each card was engraved with mysterious runes, and following the divination steps he had learned from Demotrio, he arranged them in order on the table in front of him, and then recited a strange incantation, after which a white light fell from the sky on one of the wooden cards.

Wen Jiming took out an annotated book, flipped to the corresponding page and looked at it, and then began to pinch his fingers and calculate, and soon got the answer.

"Seven days later, the sun and moon shine at their fullest, and it is beneficial to sacrifice to the gods, sacrifice, worship ancestors, get married, and travel. We held a legislative ceremony at the Temple of Man seven days later, and ordered the Department of Law to quickly make a stone plaque and stand it on the square of the Temple of Letters, cover it with a red cloth and send people to guard it, and wait until seven days later to hold the plaque ceremony. ”

On the earth, the earliest record of criminal law in ancient China is "Zhou Li, Autumn Palace, and Punishment".

The Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty recorded in history in China (c. 2000 BC - c. 1600 BC), and its criminal laws were collectively known as "Yu Punishment". "Zhou Li, Autumn Palace, and Punishment" notes: "The summer punishment is 200, the bin punishment is 300, the palace punishment is 500, and the punishment is 1,000 each." "The meaning of criminal punishment and law in ancient China is the same, and the appearance of criminal punishment marks that the legal system of China has been produced during the Xia Dynasty.

The earliest legal origin in ancient China and the relationship between "rites" and "punishments", that is, "punishment begins with soldiers, and law originates from rites".

Punishment begins with soldiers: On the one hand, "the division comes out of the law", the original punishment in ancient China originated from military wars, and the earliest law was born from the military law produced in the military. On the other hand, "the same system of soldiers and prisons". Military warfare requires the timely disposition of enemies, prisoners, or other illegal and criminal acts. Some military laws are also criminal laws for conviction and sentencing.

The law originates from the ceremony: the ritual is born from the sacrifice, in the process of the sacrifice, the ritual is strengthened and systematized, with the differentiation of the class, the ritual of the sacrifice begins to be different because of the different class ranks, at this time "rite" becomes the symbol of the rank. With the division of classes, the upper class evolved into the ruling class, and they used political power to elevate "etiquette" to a norm that regulates people's social relations. So far, "li" has the connotation of law both in form and substance, until the rite of Zhou Gong, "li" has been standardized and systematized, thus becoming the general term of the code of conduct for adjusting social relations in ancient China.

Outside of China, the earliest written code in the history of the earth is the Code of Your-Nam, which was written by the founding monarch of the Third Dynasty of your in ancient West Asia (c. 2113-2008 BCE), and consists of about 30-35 clay tablets, most of which have not survived.

After the fall of the Akkadian kingdom in 2193 BCE, the barbarian Kuti ruled the Sumerian region (in the middle and lower reaches of the Two Rivers), although some Sumerian city-states remained relatively independent and prosperous.

In 2120 B.C., the fisherman-turned-Uruk Utuhegar raised an army and established himself as the king of Uruk, defeated the Kuti, captured the last king of the Kuti, Tirigan, and appointed Ur-Nam to govern your after Utuhegar occupied your.

Later, Utukhgar died in an accident and was succeeded by Ulnam, who continued his conquests in the north and south, and finally unified all of Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq).

Around 2113 BCE, he established a powerful centralized dynasty, known as the Third Dynasty of your, also known as the Empire of your, which oversaw the entire country. In order to unify the laws of the two river valleys, adapt to the development of slavery and the needs of slave owners to suppress slave revolts, and alleviate the contradictions among the freedmen, Urnham ordered a code of laws written in Sumerian for the entire territory of your, which is the Code of Urnam.

The advent of law strengthened the order of society and provided a legal guarantee for the interests of the ruling class. History has also progressed slowly with the continuous improvement of the law.

On October 9, 735 in the Great Xia calendar, it is the day to sacrifice to the gods, worship ancestors, and get married.

At noon on the same day, Wen Jiming came to the square in front of the Temple of Wen and began to preside over the legislative sacrifice ceremony. The reason for choosing noon is that the Bactrian tradition believes that the sun is located in the middle of the sky at this time, which is the best time to worship the gods.

Wen Jiming has already developed the habit of following local customs no matter where he goes, so naturally he will not disagree with everyone on this.

At this time, nearly 10,000 people have gathered on the square, the supervisor of the Fenggong Office, Wentong, specially mobilized nearly 1,000 Fenggong people present to maintain order, Wen Jiming stood in front of the Wenshen Temple, facing the crowded crowd in the square, in full view of everyone, read the legal provisions aloud, and ordered to uncover the red cloth monument.

When the warriors untied the red brocade to reveal the inscription, Wen Jiming walked up to the incense burner of the statue and burned two copies of the legal texts written in the Bactrian script and the Aode mythology.

When the sacrificial text had just been burned, everyone present clearly heard a soft sound, and then it seemed that the entire heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon moved, and suddenly, in the sky where there was obviously a sun, eight stars suddenly appeared!

At this time, a star in the east and a star in the west flashed at the same time! Then two thin pillars of light fell from the sky from the direction of the two stars! shines on Wen Jiming's body.

At this moment, Wen Jiming had completely lost his consciousness, and saw that he was like being held by an invisible big hand, slowly leaving the ground, rising upward, and then his five bodies were facing the sky, his limbs were spread, and then six small stars that were constantly rotating appeared from his head, coiled out of his head, so two rays of light hit the six stars directly!

The six spinning little stars suddenly accelerated under the illumination of two rays of light, and in less than a minute, the six stars that were rotating at high speed suddenly lit up, and instantly became seven! After a few more moments, the seven spinning stars lit up again! After the dazzling light, it became a full eight! And the hexagonal pattern on Wen Jiming's forehead has now turned into a golden octagon, and Wen Jiming has been promoted to an eighth-order priest!
