You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 129 Origin Codex
As it turns out, even fools are quite adept at understanding the thoughts of those in power.

Their survival skills should not be underestimated.

Those fools know perfectly well what Roman can and cannot tolerate.

For ordinary people, this is a kind of invisible sense of security.

Because the temperament and behavior patterns of rulers can be predicted.

The longer you spend with him, the more patterns you can see in his seemingly whimsical style.

He never explained why he did it, nor did he tell them the results. He spent his days calling them idiots and urging them to finish their work quickly.

However, their daily meals were never compromised, they were never moody, and they would never kill without cause. They were treated very well, and if they fell ill or suffered a disaster, they would be given rest.

Even newborn babies can go to the livestock shed and receive two kilograms of milk every day.

As long as their lives get better and better, then the lord's actions are correct.

This kind of correctness is not justice, but fact.

Every two days, the farm slaughters a few pigs or sheep, and everyone gets to eat a few pieces of fragrant meat, meat broth, and bone broth.

Although it couldn't compare to the military camp where meat was served at every meal, the standard of food was still extremely high.

They certainly had no reason to oppose their rulers.

They all believe this, and as their living standards improve, they become even more convinced of it.

The gods are ethereal and elusive, but the lord is right before my eyes.

If you don't believe in the lord, are you going to believe in some distant god?

They do a lot of work every day, but they eat even more.

I've been hearing lately that the master is preparing wool sweaters for them to wear in the winter, and soon everyone will have one. It's said that some of the sweaters are even hand-knitted by the master himself. Can you believe it?

Therefore, most people cannot understand why someone would risk offending the master to sneak into the women's dormitory and molest a female slave in order to vent their desires; they can only attribute it to having nothing better to do.

residential area.

A farmer with a broken head and a shattered jaw was hoisted high by ropes.

Roman stormed off with Seth in a huff.

……

He's going to draft the laws here.

Roman was somewhat troubled.

The technology tree and the administration tree are different.

Just like scientists and politicians are two different things.

Roman had some clues, but he needed to organize them carefully.

Wait until the next day.

A legal prototype, which Roman called the "Code of Origin," was born.

There are only a few entries.

He summoned Seth and Jimmy and had them post the paper on the bulletin board in the residential area and spread the word.

……

First, the Roman lord granted all his subjects full human rights. Human rights are the only inviolable rights in the world. Violators shall die.

In return, all of you must surrender all your rights to Lord Roman; those who do not surrender have no human rights.

……

Second, anything not prohibited by law is permitted. You are free to do anything; that is your prerogative.

Your freedom is confined to the will of Lord Roman, and no one has the right to refuse any of his demands.

……

Third, on this land, all beings are equal. No one is more noble than you, not even the gods. No one is more lowly than you, not even the demons.

Only Lord Roman stands above all others, while gods and demons are relegated to the back row.

……

Fourth, men and women have equal rights and status. Each person can only have one wife and one husband.

The Roman lords are an exception.

……

Fifth, those who steal chickens or dogs, engage in fights, or disrupt social stability will be exiled to mines.

Anyone who incites public outrage, violates regulations, or causes harm to society shall be executed on the spot.

Sixth, any believers or clergy are prohibited from appearing; if they do, they must be immediately expelled or hanged.

You cannot believe in God, you can only believe in the Roman Lord.

……

Those legal provisions are quite simple and easy to understand.

Simply put, only Roman has the right to rape others and violate human rights on this land; no one else does.

Anyone who dares to do this will die!
For most people, as long as they don't commit crimes, these laws have nothing to do with them.

The law only punishes a minority of people.

Such black sheep must be dealt with severely!
There are no prisons or criminals in Sig.

Roman had no interest in making this kind of thing. Why should he serve the prisoners good food and drink?
They were either exiled to mines or forced to work like cattle.

They could either be hanged as a warning to others.

In comparison, the abolition of slavery is hardly noteworthy.

The local residents of Sig Town had become accustomed to these slaves from all over the world, sharing their food, lodging, joys, and sorrows.

Roman wants to select a new police force.

His army was for fighting, not for patrolling.

We don't need many police officers, just 20 is enough, with one officer assigned to every 200 people on average.

The personnel were farmers who already had some prestige and were bold yet meticulous in their work.

Its main function is to maintain order and control the situation. Even if it cannot completely eliminate petty theft, it can significantly reduce the occurrence of such incidents and ensure order.

Another matter needs to be put on the agenda.

That is to solve the problem of single residents.

Desires can be suppressed temporarily, but not indefinitely, otherwise they will accumulate.

When desires are not satisfied, they turn into dissatisfaction with the ruler.

As the saying goes, one shouldn't eat too much.

But if you don't feed those idiots, where will they get the strength to work?

There's no other way but to satisfy their desires.

Roman summoned Jimmy and Seth, along with another of his apostles, Wayne, who had mastered enough numbers and words to barely qualify for management duties.

He said, "You should take some time to arrange matchmaking events for them."

Jimmy and Wayne couldn't understand it yet, but Seth knew it perfectly well.

The family is the most stable social unit, especially families with children, which are very easy to manage.

Jimmy is the head of the Residents Department, and this is his job: to record everyone's marital status.

But these two children can't stand alone and need Saisi's help.

There are plenty of single male and female slaves; Roman had previously separated them to prevent them from engaging in inappropriate behavior.

But this is not a long-term solution; pair up if you can.

The so-called couple is just living together; life is too cruel to accommodate love.

If they hit it off, they would go to the Residents Department to sign the papers. As a benefit, the newlyweds would receive a separate house—to save space, six single slaves would sleep in the same house.

Due to limited housing, newlywed couples who haven't received their own housing are temporarily forced to share a house with other newlywed couples.

Of course, the fact that there aren't enough houses now doesn't mean there won't be in the future.

To reiterate, this applies to any commodity—even buildings—as well as increasing production and establishing standards. The higher the cost, the lower the overall cost.

This has put the already weak administrative capacity of Sige Town into an overloaded state.

Too many people are getting married.

Registration, housing allocation, and household registration.

In just a few days, hundreds of families applied to settle down.

The male-to-female ratio in Sige Town is relatively balanced, and there are already many people of marriageable age. After this period of adjustment, it is not surprising that a decision is made in a short time.

If things go as expected, many babies will be born in Sig Town next year.
