System, help me become the empress

Chapter 52 Repairing the Law
After parting with the three of Guozijian, Xu Youxi set off for "Qiansheng Pavilion" again.

At this time, intense discussions are still going on in the "Qiansheng Pavilion".

"How can punishment measures be written into the law for a crime that has not yet been committed? It's just nonsense!" Chen Huishi said angrily, "It's like I glared at you now, and you can yell to report to the police, saying that you suspect me of plotting murder Did you! Even if I really have the idea of ​​killing someone at this time, but you are still alive, does this mean that I have violated the Dagan law! Then did I kill someone! What crime should I be convicted of!"

Li Shangyun couldn't listen anymore, so he directly interrupted Chen Huishi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice: "Master Shangshu's understanding is too narrow. What I mean is to learn from the laws of the previous dynasty, and we can add 'improper behavior as a crime' to the Daqian laws, so as to better regulate the behavior of the people.”

Improper behavior is regarded as a sin, which means that as long as the person does something that should not be done, he is guilty.

"Then you have to explain well what is inappropriate. If you don't know what 'inappropriate' behavior is, how do you let the common people behave in accordance with the law." Chen Huishi patted the table and explained, "Otherwise I feel 'staring at people'. ' is illegal."

Miao Wen was listening to the two quarreling exhaustedly, he really couldn't understand what's so arguing about it?Since there are differences, why don't we raise them?
Anyway, the "Great Law" itself does not have this.

So, why would he waste his time here listening to the two arguing!

"Your Majesty." When Xu Youxi walked in, Miao Wenzheng was the first to discover it, and hurriedly saluted in the direction His Majesty was coming from.

Afterwards, Chen Huishi, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, whose face was red from the quarrel just now, was so angry that he said shortly: "Your Majesty, since you are here, you can just comment."

"Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu clearly misunderstood what I wanted to express." Dali Temple Minister Li Shangyun pursed his lips and explained, "There is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan": punishment cannot be known, and power cannot be measured. As long as the law is not announced, the details , then its power is endless, so the common people will take the initiative to measure what to do and what not to do."

"It's nonsense!" Chen Huishi was so angry that his beard almost turned up, "Then why do you judge the case? With the "Great Law", it's still an affair!"

After listening for a long time, Xu Youxi finally understood what the two of them were arguing about. He couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Your question is actually very easy to answer. First of all, you have to figure out how to rule the world in the future? If you want to form a criminal law to rule the world , then listen to Chen Shangshu; if you want to restrain the people with etiquette, then listen to Li Siqing."

"If you are still hesitant, then listen to Miao Yushi." Xu Youxi nodded Miao Yushi with a tired face.

Miao Wenzheng was overwhelmed by the flattery, straightened his back immediately, turned his eyes around the two, thought for a while, and finally said firmly: "I think the rule of law should be the main thing in the big work. I think this matter can be listened to by Chen Shangshu." .”

Xu Youxi knew that by throwing the question to Miao Wenzheng, there was a high probability that she would get the answer she wanted.

The law should stand clearly where everyone must look directly.

After listening to Miao Wenzheng's words, Xu Youxi picked up the content that had been sorted out on the table and read it carefully: "The age of marriage needs to be revised, and the age for men and women must not be lower than twenty-nine. Why can't women who marry women be allowed to take the imperial examination? There are no other major problems. At the current speed, how long will it take to announce the new "Great Law" to the outside world."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it will probably take three months." Miao Wenzheng replied.

"Then it's going to be July. It's just past the busy farming season, so the common people can learn more about it in their free time." Xu Youxi simply calculated the time, "It's not too early today, you all go back to deal with your own government affairs, this afternoon Each department sent two people over to do the finishing work."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Xu Youxi finished his work, he gave a few more instructions before turning around and leaving Qiansheng Pavilion.Xu Youxi thought that it was time for dinner, and it was too late to return to the palace now, and he didn't know if there were any acquaintances nearby who could grab dinner.

Xu Youxi walked and thought, then suddenly stopped, and summoned Jin Yiwei who was protecting her nearby: "Isn't this very close to Shenji Camp?"

"Your Majesty, this place is only a hundred meters away from Shenji Camp."

"Let's go then."

In previous years, the court firecrackers were all handed in by folk craftsmen to offset taxes, and many craftsmen were doing shoddy things in private, and there was no way to control this matter.

After Xu Youxi ascended the throne, the first thing to do was to allocate the funds promised to the "Shenji Camp".

The "Shenji Camp" immediately recruited a group of old craftsmen with good folk skills to be responsible for making imperial firearms.

Xu Youxi has been coming to the Shenji Camp a lot recently, and the imperial guards guarding the gate of the camp already recognized His Majesty, and when they saw her coming, they hurried in to report.

"Teng Xuesheng, what is Shenjiying eating today?"

This was the first sentence Xu Youxi said when he saw Commander Teng Xuesheng.

The Shenji Camp can be said to be the place where he spent most of his family's wealth. Come here for a meal, isn't it too much?
Commander Sten Xuesheng is now used to His Majesty's 'approachability': "Your Majesty, today the camp is still cooked by the insiders, and they are all home-cooked dishes. Don't dislike him."

After a period of contact, Xu Youxi also figured out that Teng Xuesheng is completely honest.By promoting him to the commander of the Shenji Battalion, he can consciously take all the responsibilities of the Shenji Battalion on him.In order to save expenses in the camp, he called his wife and daughter to help, and provided three meals a day, devoting himself to improving food for the Imperial Guards.

Teng Xuesheng's son failed the exam this year, so he didn't need to continue preparing for the palace exam in April. Instead, he happily called his son to the camp and asked him to review his books and record every expenditure in the camp.

"Extremely happy. Commander Teng has a good vision, and he has a good wife." Xu Youxi nodded, "Commander Teng works hard, when will I be able to make your wife a wife and enjoy the blessings?"

Teng Xuesheng was overwhelmed by flattery: "The cheap lady is just an ordinary woman, she can't bear His Majesty's favor, how can she afford the imperial order."

"There will be a chance." Xu Youxi smiled, "Let's eat, after dinner I have to check your results."

at this time.

On the training ground of the "Shenji Battalion", the news spread quickly, His Majesty may come over at any time to inspect the training results of the Imperial Guards!Soldiers, get ready!

After lunch, Xu Youxi was led by Teng Xuesheng to check around.

In the tent, Xu Youxi picked up the "new firearm" made by the craftsmen and looked at it carefully. This time, the gun barrel was made by several old craftsmen and it took nearly half a month to make it.

It is said that first find a way to soften the refined iron, then roll it into double layers, and finally use a steel drill to drill out the gun barrel a little bit. The procedure is extremely complicated, but only such a fine structure can ensure that it will not appear when shooting. The gun barrel burst.

The finished product this time has seven or eight layers of similarities with the later generations of "matchlocks".Compared with the old firecracker, the improved weapon has a crosshair at the front and a rear rear sight, and a curved butt design on the side of the barrel, which is more conducive to the shooter aiming close to the face.

After aiming, pull the trigger and the match will fire.

Xu Youxi tried it briefly, and felt that it was much easier to use than the basic version of the firecracker: "Teng Xuesheng, has anyone in the Imperial Guard tried this new type of matchlock gun? How does it feel to use it?"

　The recent readers are so lively!

　　Great!
