"You didn't read the verdict when you were in Yong'an City?"

"No, I'll just go and see him with Xiaoliu. Now that I think about it, it's really too efficient, and there are so few formalities to move into the city?"

Chen Jinzhi leaned on the bed, picked up a piece of dried fruit, chewed it and swallowed it, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said, "Because I used my quota." ”

"Huh?"

Seeing that he really didn't understand, Chen Jinzhi sat up and explained to him in detail.

In the eleven cities of Jingguo, Yong'an City has a little more residents, 300 million people, and each of the other ten cities has about 200 million residents. The remaining eight adults live in towns, villages, or small towns outside the eleventh city.

In terms of facilities, management and welfare, the eleven cities are much better than the outside. The trade-off is that taxes are also higher than outside.

But living in the city does not mean that you will be stable for a lifetime, the government will keep a record of everyone's financial situation, if you feel that your money is not enough for you to continue living in the city, then you will be notified one month in advance, and after a month the situation does not improve, please go out of the city.

The Sword Sect has three hundred places to enter the city every year, in addition to rewarding the disciples in the sect who perform well every year, Chen Jinzhi has ten on hand, but he has never used it before, and this time he gave Qi Si one.

Anyone who comes in with the quota of the Sword Sect has a five-year guarantee period, as long as they don't make a big mistake in these five years, even if they don't have money, they can stay in the city. Of course, Qi Si had the three hundred taels that Chen Jinzhi bought in his hand, even if he ate and drank in Yong'an City every day, it would be enough to spend ten years.

"So this verdict is also normal?"

"Well, when encountering this kind of thing that is not easy to judge, but there is a similar situation, it will be judged according to the previous case, and then the amount of compensation will be revised according to the specific circumstances such as the amount of loss. Then hang up the explanation of the verdict. ”

"And what if there are no similar cases?"

"Then write down the specific situation, then hang the government's verdict next to it, and those who have opinions write it on a piece of paper and throw it into the box below, open the box after three days, and discuss it again after combining all the opinions. If there is no controversy, it will be judged directly, and if there is, someone will be judged. ”

It sounds very humane, but Chen Yunqiu always feels a little wrong.

"What if people don't get into the trouble and don't give their opinions?"

"The original verdict is upheld, since there is no opinion. But in this way, when they encounter this kind of thing in the future, they will have nothing to say. ”

"What if someone puts forward an opinion, but harbors evil intentions, wants to fight for their own interests, or even simply wants to break the law?"

"Unless he's smarter than everyone else and can't be noticed by his thoughts, he'll be arrested two more times. ”

"It's a bit of a contradiction, but doesn't it make people think of being arrested if they want to make a suggestion and end up being caught for harboring bad intentions? ”

“...... I don't know how to grasp it, but after all these years, people are still very keen to participate. ”

Chen Yunqiu feels more and more that this is like a utopian world, maybe not as happy as in the story, but it is indeed so good that it feels unreal.

"Are these rules formed slowly?"

"It's from the beginning," Chen Jinzhi squinted his eyes and laughed, "It's all recorded in the Code." I don't know who wrote it, whether it's the rules for building the city or the law, it's all in this book, and I don't know how many years it has been circulated. ”

Chen Yunqiu suddenly had a creepy feeling, if there was really a predecessor who had been here, then this predecessor must be an idealist.

"Hasn't anyone thought about change?"

"I was forced to retreat to the Hengduan Mountains before, and I just settled down, and this copy of the Code is really good, so I used it. ”

"How were the people inside and outside the city chosen?"

"Whoever is willing to come and take part in the building of the city and obey the law dwells in. ”

"So a lot of people should be willing, right?"

"Almost two-thirds of them were involved. ”

"Then why are there now four as many people outside the city as there are inside the city?"

Chen Jinzhi shook his head: "I don't know the reason, but I guess it's because the city is really well managed." ”

Chen Yunqiu was stunned, and then thought of a word left by Chen Jinzhi just now: "You just said 'before'?

"Because, it hasn't changed in a long time. There is no development, as if the future is going to go on like this. Chen Jinzhi sighed.

"Do you suspect there's something wrong with the Code?"

"I don't know, but I know we should have kept improving. The world hasn't changed for hundreds of years, what's the difference between that and a pool of stagnant water?"

Chen Yunqiu was silent. The nine-year compulsory education plus three years of high school study gave him a little understanding of the previous system and laws. But he had never seen a law so well enforced, and there were so many loopholes.

It is undeniable that if the people's wisdom develops to a certain point, it is best to let people judge for themselves like this. But this is obviously not the case now, so how did this overly idealistic loose shelf survive until now?
