The next day, I took a few people to the location of Daqin Commerce.

After another explanation, he left.

This building is an epoch-making building, and you have to be careful, because if it collapses, there will be no place for my face!

Because he went out of the palace alone, he didn't take Li Si and them, so he didn't clean the street.

Along the way, it was bustling, there was an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and the blonde and blue-eyed merchants from the Western Regions could be seen everywhere, and the business prosperity of the new city could be seen!

Although the road is paved with green bricks, the foundation is compacted and firm, and the paved green bricks are neat and orderly, and the carriage can hardly feel the bumps when walking on it.

I was enjoying the scenery of the new city through the car window, and my face suddenly turned dark: "Meng He, what is that person doing?" ”

Meng He's voice came from the front: "Uh...... In the excretory ......"

"Bastard!" I cursed in a low voice: "There are a lot of public restrooms in the new city, right?" It's not a shame to dare to urinate on the street! Are you not afraid of Qin Law? ”

Meng He said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, even if there is no public restroom, it is against the law of Qin to excrete on the street, but this person has seen it, he is a fool, Xianyang Ling can't help it, he has to take care of his food if he is arrested......"

Meng He often goes out of the palace to do errands, and is in charge of the clean room, so he still has a relatively clear understanding of the major and minor affairs in Xianyang City.

I waved my hand: "Close the curtains." ”

Meng He immediately closed the curtain of the car.

"It's a big sight!"

————

Back in the apse of Zhangtai, I asked Zhao Shanben to call Li Si and the three over.

After everyone arrived, I said slowly: "I went out of the palace today and deeply felt the prosperity of the new city, the streets are wide and clean, the houses are lined up, and the pedestrians are orderly, but there is a problem that makes me unhappy!" ”

"Uh......" The three of them glanced at each other, and Yu He asked curiously: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the matter?" ”

I didn't mention the fool, and said, "How many steps is it from Daqin Commerce and Trade to Zhangtai Palace?" My carriage stopped twice and slowed down three times! Although there were no rampages, it could be seen that the roads were already a little congested as there were more and more carriages in the new city. ”

Li Si stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Presumably because Your Majesty does not often go out of the palace, today's merchants in the new city can fill the inn almost every day, and it is normal for there to be more cars and horses on the road, and the ministers have become accustomed to it." ”

I smiled, waved my hand, and said, "So I decided to promulgate the Xianyang Road Traffic Law!" ”

Feng Zai said curiously: "Your Majesty, what is the Xianyang Road Traffic Law?" ”

"First of all." I stretched out a finger: "In the future, it should be made clear that the laws for the entire Great Qin are called laws, such as the Golden Cloth Law, the Qin Military Law, the Qi Law, and so on, and the local counties can formulate laws for their own counties with the consent of the imperial court, only for their own counties, and at most only at the county level." ”

Li Si was immediately anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, by all means, the law is the foundation of the country, if the county can make the law at will, then it will be fine!" ”

Feng Zheng and Yu He also persuaded: "Your Majesty think twice! ”

Seeing their anxious looks, I hurriedly explained: "What I said is called the local method, although the local method is formulated by the county, but there are two prerequisites. First, it cannot violate the superior law; Second, the consent of the imperial court must be obtained and not a word can be changed! ”

Li Si frowned: "The latter understands, but what does the former mean?" ”

"The so-called superior law refers to the law. Take the Xianyang Road Traffic Law that I am about to promulgate as an example, if it is stipulated that all carriages entering Xianyang must be led, this is not a violation of the superior law, because there is no Qin law that stipulates whether the carriage entering the city must be led or driven.

However, if it is stipulated that all carriages entering Xianyang must pay a coin, this is a violation of the superior law, because in addition to collecting taxes on goods entering the city, the Qin law is not allowed to collect taxes from ordinary people who enter the city, which is a violation of the Jinbu law! And the Jin Bu Law is aimed at the entire Great Qin, it is a superior law, if someone adds this article to the law, because this law violates the superior law, it will be invalid. ”

After listening to my explanation, the three of them understood, and Li Si said slowly: "This is feasible, but I don't know if the specific implementation can be controlled, after all, the law is related to the stability of the world." ”

I nodded: "So I plan to try out the Xianyang Road Traffic Law in Xianyang first, and if the effect is significant, we can continue to implement it, and if it is not feasible, we can stop using it." ”

Feng Zai arched his hand and said: "This minister understands, what does His Majesty mean by the Xianyang Road Traffic Law?" ”

"It's simple." "Suppose this is a crossroads, and the carriages from the north and south and the east and west have to converge here, some go straight and some turn, because there are no restrictions, so everyone is rushing to go, and it is easy to cause traffic jams." ”

"Suppose you set up a traffic light here, the red light represents the east-west direction, the north-south direction, and the green light means the opposite, is that orderly?"

The eyes of the three of them lit up, and Yu He agreed: "Your Majesty's idea is feasible!" That way, you won't be stuck at the intersection! ”

Li Si pondered for a while and said: "It's indeed a good way, but in this way, each intersection has to arrange people to be on duty to switch traffic lights, which is probably a lot of money." ”

I shook my head and smiled, "Why use people?" ”

"Well, how do you switch traffic lights without anyone taking care of them?"

"What do you see that?"

The three of them looked in the direction of my finger.

It is the hourglass of the temple that keeps time.

This hourglass is so cleverly designed that it not only allows for more accurate timekeeping, but also automatically flips the 12-hour scale according to the amount of sand in the sand pot above, making it a simple clock.

Li Si was the first to react: "Your Majesty means to set up such an hourglass and replace the scale of the twelve hours with a traffic light?" ”

I nodded: "Yes, this only needs to be maintained once every few days to ensure that the amount of sand does not deviate too much, and it can be used in all seasons." ”

There is a curfew at night, so naturally there is no need for lighting.

Several people agreed: "That's it! ”

"I will hand over this matter to the general, try to design this hourglass to be smaller and more accurate, and it does not need to be set up at all intersections, mainly concentrated in the most prosperous areas of commerce, like Zhangtai Palace, there are not many people living around Zhangtai Palace, so there is no need for traffic lights."

Several people praised it one after another.

After talking about the traffic lights, I continued: "In addition, the traffic law is not only about traffic lights, but most importantly about regulating the quality of drivers through traffic rules. ”

Feng Zheng was curious: "Everyone has their own ideas, how to control this?" ”

I smiled: "Since it is the law, it is natural to enforce it in the form of the law!" ”
