Shangqing Palace, the head of the courtyard.

Although it is a town-level residence, it is only a courtyard in the bamboo forest on the mountainside, including a courtyard area of no more than 200 square meters.

Prime Minister Pan Jun waved away his personal guards, walked into the courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he could see a handsome Taoist priest sitting in the shade of a tree not far away, smiling and waving to him.

He approached quickly, bowing like a monk.

"Qingxuan Daoist, take the liberty to visit."

As the head of the region, his status is now inferior to that of the town and the country. Five years ago, the temple was still able to give orders to the town and state, but now its status has been reversed.

Since the appearance of the immortals, he has made all the mortal temples see the upper limit of the monk, and perfectly explained what it means to be an individual power.

People's hearts are changeable, and the inside of the temple is not an iron plate. After seeing the top existence of the monks, many people will think of the strength of the town and country level, and then move closer to the other party.

Maybe the Zhenguo level can't reach the power of immortals, but the future is definitely not low.

The general trend of heaven and earth is irreversible, and the expansion of the monk's power does not change by the will of the individual. The big men who can be at the top of the pyramid are not stupid, and they all take refuge in the major monks.

If you want to continue to enjoy the prosperity and wealth, you can only invest in the future.

The town level is the biggest backer.

Prime Minister Pan Jun did not take refuge in Qingxuandao, but the relationship between the two was not bad, on the contrary, they could be regarded as half friends.

Because the earliest cooperation between Xiandao and the government was nodded by Prime Minister Pan Jun, he can also be regarded as one of the promoters of the town-level system.

If the representative of the Immortal Dao is Qing Xuan, then the representative of the mortal government is the Prime Minister Pan Jun.

Qing Xuan said: "The prime minister can come whenever he wants, but you come to me to estimate that it is not so simple to visit." ”

"I'd like to ask the Taoist chief, or rather, I'm here to intercede." Prime Minister Pan Jun said straight to the point, "Now due to the backward construction of the temple and its subordinate departments, it has caused a huge mistake, and it is natural to make up for it." ”

"It's okay if I leave me alone, I'm going to retire, and I can't guarantee what the next temple will do."

"So you want me to intercede?" Qingxuan asked.

Prime Minister Pan Jun nodded undeniably.

"Hehe, you guys." Qing Xuan let out a few chuckles, looking a little more helpless.

"The immortal chief said yes, even if I go to intercede, it is useless. In the same way, he does not pursue them, and he will not pursue them in the future, let alone treat them differently. ”

Prime Minister Pan Jun nodded and said, "I believe this, but the people below won't believe it." The series of actions they have made recently are more like a gesture of goodwill, waiting for some kind of unrealistic memory. ”

"If the immortals don't speak, they will continue and end up becoming neurotic. So I would like to ask the Taoist chief to comfort them, what you said works. ”

This time the government can be said to have suffered heavy losses, but as an excellent person in power, Prime Minister Pan Jun did not give up on himself because of this, but took this opportunity to carry out a rectification of the interior.

But factions will always exist, and it is human nature to form factions.

Qingxuan thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"It's not impossible, as long as you don't make such mistakes in the future."

"How not to make mistakes?" Prime Minister Pan Jun asked, "The temperament of the immortals, it is estimated that they have to knock on the temple every once in a while. I'm in a high position and know very well the urine nature of most people. ”

"Those who are in power are not good."

Qing Xuan shook his head again and said: "So I said that you don't understand the immortal chief, the immortal chief has lived for more than five thousand years, and he has long been used to seeing human nature. can tolerate, can also understand human nature, and can leave some room for human nature. ”

The tolerance of greed for ink is the generosity of the immortals to human nature.

It's not that you can't take a point, and you can't use a power. As long as the bottom line is not broken, Asgard has always turned a blind eye.

"Absolutely obey the orders of the immortals and make no mistakes?" Prime Minister Pan Jun asked.

"Yes, it's not."

Qing Xuan shook his head and said, "The Immortal Chief said a word, the peace in the world is not something that I can support alone, but people will only remember the first place." I thought about whether I was a blue sky, and I went around the world and found that it wasn't. ”

"Most of the problems are not solved by me, they are chivalrous, good officials, and countless people with conscience. I think my greatest credit is to keep them from shedding blood for their conscience. ”

Qing Xuan repeated the words of that year.

Until today, when he revisits this passage, Qing Xuan can feel the great wisdom in it, and see through the red dust in the true sense.

There used to be a Sword Sect in troubled times, a fairy sect in floods, and now there are good people like the former criminal policeman and the current company operator.

There is no shortage of good people in the world, but good people do not live long.

If there are no these good people, when everyone is proud of evil regardless of good and evil, even the immortal chief will be unable to support it alone.

If there were no immortals, would the world be peaceful?

The answer is yes, but it will take a lot of blood and countless failures in exchange for a short period of peace.

Not letting good people bleed is the greatest credit that the immortal chief thinks he has.

Prime Minister Pan Jun was silent for a while, and sighed: "Sometimes a good person is the highest requirement, it is better to let the temple strictly obey and meet the orders of the immortals." ”

He thinks he is a good man, but he will never believe that all the people in power in the future are.

"That's what a lot of people thought at the time." Qing Xuan couldn't deny it, and then asked: "Taking history as a mirror, the prime minister would like to hear a piece of history in the cultivation world, after the Immortal Dao flood." ”

"Maybe when you see the era under the rule of Xianchang, you won't be so afraid."

At that time, after the great flood, under the governance of Asgard, the human race began to enter a new era.

Law and order was better than in the days of dynastic rule, the people were more dignified, and the law was enforced strictly.

But the immortal chief was not satisfied.

I couldn't see it before, so I couldn't control it, but now that I really rule the world, I must do a good job with the character of an immortal. Moreover, the human race is still free from the subsistence line, and once the grain cannot be harvested in a certain place, there will soon be a famine.

The shortage of resources inevitably leads to the emergence of various underworld forces.

Just like what happened not long ago, the Immortal Gate at the top would not oppress the people, but in the major city lords' mansions, they acted recklessly because of their negligence.

In the end, turmoil broke out, Asgard suppressed it, and finally dropped the black gauze hat on the ground.

Prime Minister Pan Jun did not refuse.

This incident made him realize that the immortal was not a good man, this was a strong man who had calmed down the troubled times, a supreme strong man who had been overwhelmed for thousands of years.

The preferences of the other person are very important.

As soon as the words fell, Prime Minister Pan Jun only felt a trance in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in a bamboo forest.

In the distance, there is a Taoist man in a green shirt sitting cross-legged on the ground and playing the qin, and the Taoist priest and the monk are fighting in front of him.

Through his face, he can recognize the Taoist priest as Qingxuan, and his face is even more immature. And the monk's face is unusually handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and the treasure statue is solemn.

Qing Xuan pressed the monk under him, and the other party had no room for resistance.

Prime Minister Pan Jun couldn't recognize it as Dushi, and asked, "Qingxuan Daoist, is this after the flood?" Why are you still so young? ”

According to official calculations, after the Immortal Dao flood, the Qingxuan Dao people should have approached the limit, not to mention burping immediately, at least they will not be so immature.

"This belongs to the lock screen memory that Poor Dao often takes out to appreciate, by the way, that monk is a world."

Qing Xuan admired it a few times, and then took Prime Minister Pan Jun through the bamboo forest, and in an instant, the two of them stood in an ancient city.

People are coarse and linen, some carry bamboo baskets, some carry cloth bags, some shout on the street to do business, and some beggars are begging.

Prime Minister Pan Jun looked into the distance and saw a huge city wall of at least 100 meters, with a monk's sword flying by.

Suddenly, a foul smell hit my face, and the street was still clean, but I don't know where the smell came from.

Qing Xuan Taoist explained: "Because there are too many people living in the city, the dung piles up into a mountain, and the whole city is smoked unbearably as soon as the wind direction changes. It could have been solved by exploring feng shui and formations. But the people down there are too lazy to take it seriously. ”

After speaking, another foul smell came to his face, and Prime Minister Pan Jun almost couldn't help but vomit.

The era of the immortals is somewhat flavorful.

————————

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Pan Jun, he selected one of the more distinctive cities to conduct a field trip to human geography.

Although it is from Qingxuan's perspective, the memory of the god is enough to simulate a virtual reality.

The city they inspected was called Yundong City, a city located in the southeastern region of Tianzhou.

The name of the city was taken from the fact that there were clouds floating in the east, and Qing Xuan said: "The names of all cities are taken by the immortal chief, and he said that when he saw the clouds floating in the east, he remembered an old man." ”

Prime Minister Pan Jun didn't have to guess to probably know who it was, and the sword immortal was already dead during this time period.

There is a stone tablet standing everywhere in Yundong City, 10 meters high and five meters wide, and densely engraved with words on it.

The two of them stood in front of the stone tablet, looking up at the words on it.

Through Qing Xuan's click, Prime Minister Pan Jun was just stunned for a moment, and then understood the text above.

[Civil Law] [Criminal Law] [Juvenile Protection Law] [Commercial Law] [Administrative Law]......

The whole page is full of laws and regulations, some of which are written in extraordinary detail, and some of which are extremely brief.

The name is very modern, but the content is adapted to local conditions.

Criminal law, for example, has a much looser definition of justifiable defense than it does in modern times, and is unusually brief.

Innocent defense includes, but is not limited to, armed trespassers, robbers of women and children, rapists, armed gangsters, etc.

Prime Minister Pan Jun couldn't help but wonder when he saw it: "The law is so simple, aren't you afraid that someone will use the law to kill people?" For example, this forcible break-in, there are often neighborhood conflicts, if the murder is legal, wouldn't it add many cases in vain? ”

Neighborhood conflicts are the easiest to quarrel and fight, if one party deliberately annoys the other, once the other party walks into the house with a weapon, the person who is killed can only blame himself.

In the eyes of Prime Minister Pan Jun, it is very unreasonable, the law should not be for the purpose of punishment, let alone a means for ordinary people to kill people.

"It's true in modern times, but it's an agrarian society. The human heart is not so complicated, and it is more about the result and the people's heart than on procedural justice. ”

Qing Xuan smiled and asked: "The stricter the design of the law, the more conditions there are, which shows that the superior does not need the people to do it." And immortals like to return a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, and the natural conditions for this kind of thing are simple and clear. ”

"And don't forget, in this society, being armed is equivalent to owning a gun."

Prime Minister Pan Jun thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

It is true that an agrarian society cannot demand a system of rule of law as strict as that of modern times. Let's not talk about whether it is suitable or not, and law enforcement departments may not be able to have such a high quality.

The rule of law is not a book to put there, let alone a slogan. Instead, it needs to be institutionalized and supported by a large group of people who know and understand the law.

But if the judges can't come up, how can the rule of law be enforced?

"Qingxuan Daoist, why is the position of administrative law and commercial law so high? There is still a vacant seat below. ”

Prime Minister Pan Jun noticed that there was a section missing above the stone tablet, and two of the laws were hung high above it, so that ordinary people could not see it at all.

Qingxuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Remember what I just said? This stele has a total of 10 sections, which was originally intended to facilitate transportation, but now it has become a cheating tool. ”

Many great cities would rank these two laws at the top, which is undoubtedly against the law. Asgard has said many rectifications. But it didn't take long for each change to turn his head and put it back on. Sometimes even stone tablets are broken for you. ”

I don't want the people to see the content of these two laws.

Prime Minister Pan Jun suddenly understood.

"We have the simplest and clearest laws, and we have officials who are strict and guarded." Qing Xuan Daoren quipped, "It's like kicking a ball, the shooter racks his brains with the goalkeeper." ”

"Aren't they afraid of accidents?" Prime Minister Pan Jun asked, and as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had said too much.

The previous is the best example.

Qing Xuan raised his hand and waved, and the surrounding scene quickly flowed.

Prime Minister Pan Jun first saw a gentleman robbing people's daughters on the street, taking them back to his house, and throwing them out the next day in rags.

The surrounding people pointed fingers at him and even insulted the victims.

In the end, the family sued the official, suing the cousin of the city lord, and there was no way to sue the official.

The victim hanged himself, his family was threatened to shut up, and calm returned to him.

Prime Minister Pan Jun said: "And then the immortals shot? ”

Qing Xuan shook his head and said: "Immortal Elder is not omniscient and omnipotent, this kind of thing happens all the time, and he can only make a move when he can see it." ”

"Don't think about Lord Qingtian, but do good deeds, don't ask about the future."

Time rolled forward again, and a chivalrous man appeared, and he happened to receive a meal from his family.

The strong man took a few sips of wine, heard about it, and went out with a knife.

"Uncle, please wait, I'll go and I'll go back."

After a few sticks of incense, the chivalrous warrior walked back with a person, and it was the gentleman.

"Uncle, do you think it's this?"

"It's him."

The old man nodded, only to see the chivalrous warriors in the rivers and lakes with knives up and down, white knives in and red knives out, and a head rolling down.

was so frightened that half of the old man's family ran away.

The strong man carried his head, swaggered to the yamen, threw his head at the door and said loudly: "The immortals have an order, and those who are good and free from violence will be rewarded with a thousand gold!" ”

"Bring the money to so-and-so!"

The local city lord's face turned blue, and one side couldn't win the debate, so he was angry and wanted to arrest the knights.

But he didn't expect that the other party's martial arts were strong and his light skills were first-class, and he escaped after a fight.

The knights of the rivers and lakes immediately reported to the nearest Xianmen, and then they were immediately arrested, sent back to Yundong City, and beheaded on a certain day.

Because of the gentleman he killed, one of his sisters entered the fairy gate.

Relationships are like a spider, and people who don't understand the rules are easily eliminated.

The heroes of the rivers and lakes were pressed to the execution ground, and the black crowd came to watch,

Qing Xuan and Prime Minister Pan Jun stood outside the crowd, watching the scene in front of them.

Prime Minister Pan Jun sighed: "How similar." ”

This time, he wouldn't ask the immortals if they would make a move, because when things got to this point, there was a high probability that it would reach the ears of the immortals, at least in the ears of a certain great power.

The people around the immortals should not let it go.

Qing Xuan smiled and said, "The Immortal Chief is responsible for saving good people, and good people are responsible for saving the world." If it weren't for this strong man's righteous action, there would be no follow-up. ”
