Xiang Kunlun ordered the promotion of RMB and announced it in the Dragon Kingdom. From then on, there was only this kind of currency.
In this way, privately minting counterfeit coins will never happen again.
At the same time, the male protagonist took a closer look and found some laws that had been enacted before and found many problems.
"Many of these laws are unreasonable and contradictory."
Zhuge Liang felt the same way. When he was still in Wolong Village, such a thing happened in the village.
There is a butcher in the village who is tall and round. He usually makes money by selling pork.
His wife was very shrewd and would point at the butcher and scold him bloody whenever something didn't go her way.
Men want to save face. Sometimes the butcher can't stand it and will quarrel with his wife.
This kind of thing happens every now and then. Besides, whose family doesn't have such trivial things
Therefore, everyone tried to break up the fight symbolically at first, saying a few words, but then simply ignored it.
Until one day, the butcher, probably in a bad mood, had a serious quarrel with his wife.
"How dare you scold me!" The woman was furious, "I was so blind when I married you!"
The butcher was also angry and put his knife on the wooden stake.
"If you don't want to follow me, then get out of here! Find someone else!"
The woman cried heartbrokenly and cursed the butcher for being ruthless and ruthless.
At this time, many idle people came to watch.
The woman felt that she was losing face, so she rushed over and beat the butcher.
The butcher became angry, stopped his men's strength, and pushed the woman hard.
The woman stumbled, and her whole body hit the knife.
"ah!"
Just hearing a scream, the woman slowly fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
"Killed!"
The butcher was also confused. He looked at his hands.
"No! I didn't! I didn't want to kill her! I didn't mean it!"
At that time, Zhuge Liang, as the gentleman of the village, was invited to administer justice.
After a while, the official came over.
Although it is natural to kill people to pay for their lives and to pay debts for money.
However, what the law says is: If it is not intentional homicide, it can be considered as appropriate.
So the butcher hurriedly asked those onlookers to testify for him.
"As you all saw, it was that woman who came to hit me first. I just wanted to push her away, not to kill anyone!"
In the end, the local magistrate believed that the butcher could indeed be spared his life.
After beating him 20 times, he was released.
Because of this incident, Zhuge Liang was still very emotional at the time. Now that he told this incident to Xiang Kunlun, Xiang Kunlun also felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He believed that whether it was manslaughter or intentional homicide, it resulted in death.
The law has no emotion at all. In this case, whoever kills someone will have to pay the price with blood.
He asked Zhuge Liang: "If someone robs the rich and gives to the poor, and kills a rich man who has done all kinds of evil, in order to help the poor, does Kong Ming think he did the right thing? Should this person who robbed the rich and gave to the poor be sentenced to death?"
Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Kong Ming really doesn't know how to answer such a question."
Xiang Kunlun sighed softly, yes, how can anything in this world be black and white
But the existence of law must have legal meaning.
If everyone did this, the world would be in chaos.
"I, still insist on my own point of view, just follow what I just said and re-improve the law!"
The law has indeed been revised and made more complete.
But Xiang Kunlun didn't want to become a dictatorial emperor. He re-issued a decree to let the people of the country vote and decide some dilemmas according to public opinion.
It was the first time for the common people to participate in this kind of thing. They were all very excited and the discussion was in full swing.
Xiang Kunlun is serious and listens to the voice of every common person.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the first step of modernization.]
[On the road to building a country, the host has taken another step forward. Keep up the good work!]
[System reward: a plush toy.]
Xiang Kunlun:
All he had to do was slowly type a question mark above his head. What kind of strange reward was this
As soon as the system finished speaking, a stuffed bear appeared in front of him.
Xiang Kunlun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he gave the little bear to his son to play with, and the little guy actually had a great time.
Zhen Jiang was still very surprised and asked: "Husband, that little bear is very cute. Where did you buy it?"
Xiang Kunlun had no choice but to make up a place casually.
Zhen Jiang couldn't put it down when she saw the little bear, and she decided to give it a try herself.
After observing the sutures and structure of the little bear, Zhen Jiang was amazed.
"Husband, this man's craftsmanship is really the best Jiang Er has ever seen!"
"The person who can make this little bear must be the most skillful woman in the world. Look at how dense the stitches are!"
Xiang Kunlun thought that if he used modern tools, he could easily reach this level.
But now is the Three Kingdoms period after all, so the manpower cannot yet reach it.
Zhen Jiang didn't believe it and decided to try to sew one herself.
Xiang Kunlun couldn't stop her, so he let her go.
At this time, Zhuge Liang came over with a lot of memorials.
Xiang Kunlun was a little strange: "Didn't I just approve those today? Why are you here again so soon?"
Since he came to the throne, Xiang Kunlun has completed the day's work every day, worked diligently on political affairs, and has not been lazy for a day.
In the morning, he had obviously finished approving all the memorials, so why were there suddenly so many more.
Zhuge Liang replied: "Your Majesty, Kong Ming has probably read these memorials and found that they are actually the same thing."
"Oh? What did you say?"
"Recently, corrupt officials have begun to appear in some places. Originally it was just one or two. After they were discovered, they have been punished to varying degrees."
"I just didn't expect that instead of being curbed, this phenomenon has become more and more common."
Xiang Kunlun was mentally prepared for this kind of thing, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
During the war years, people only thought about food and clothing and survival, without any other thoughts.
But now that life is getting better and better, people don’t have to worry about food and drink, and they have more spiritual needs.
At this time, people with evil intentions sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Xiang Kunlun pondered for a moment: "Kong Ming, what do you think about the handling of this matter?"
He originally thought that Zhuge Liang would advise him to kill all these corrupt officials.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang hesitated.
