Different from the tense atmosphere of Grice and others, loud and clear songs are echoing in Lingfeng castle at the moment.
……
The light disappeared into the sky
I hear the sigh of death in the wind
When the snow covered my fallen brother
This is my last goodbye
Night fell
End today
War is calling
Victory is moving towards us
River collar, river collar
Today I will draw my sword for you
Mother, mother
Please don''t be sad for me
Love, love
Please don''t cry for me
I will break the darkness of the sky and sweep away my fear
……
The singer is Arthur. The audience includes Leah, Thorne, Bogu and Rett. The name of the song is "up the river collar".
After singing a song, Leah immediately handed Arthur the water cup in her hand.
After drinking the water, Arthur looked at Bogu and Rett and asked, "how, have you learned it?"
Seeing the two nodded, Arthur smiled happily, relaxed his shoulders and breathed out.
No way, this is the last Arthur he taught to sing. He is a good citizen who abides by the law and is harmless to humans and animals. He has neither experience of being severely punished by the law nor experience of using the law to severely punish others. Therefore, his understanding of the law or criminal law can be said to be very limited, and most of his only understanding is fragmented memory.
Originally, he intended to leave the legislation to Mr. Yilu and others. He just had to be a shopkeeper and make the final decision.
Moreover, he also pointed out the direction of work for Mr. ilu and others, and asked them to formulate a written civil code first. There is no need to cover everything, as long as there are laws to abide by for various civil disputes in the territory.
But slowly, Arthur found that his idea of shaking off the shopkeeper was too naive!
In this world, there is no relatively complete written code at all. Except that the "King''s royal decree" issued by the king can be reluctantly called a written law, the Lords everywhere almost rely on the "tradition" and bachelor''s suggestions when trying the people or ruling on contradictions. Even as long as they do not violate the provisions of the king''s royal decree, the specific judgment depends on the personal preferences of the Lords.
The "royal decree" and "tradition", which can be used as the basis of judgment, are extremely vague and uncertain.
For example, the king''s royal decree stipulates that serfs in the farm shall not be executed without trial, otherwise it will be deemed illegal, and the manor owner shall compensate the families of the serfs executed.
This
For another example, the Royal Decree stipulates that parents have the right to inspect, beat, and make their children do all kinds of labor, or even buy, sell or kill them.
What kind of immortal law is this... This NIMA???
There are a total of 101 Royal decrees, which involve three classes: nobility, civilians and slaves. In terms of content, they involve a wide range, but the provisions are all very broad and vague.
For example, it is stipulated that serfs cannot be executed without trial, that is, they can be executed as long as they are tried by the Lord. There are no provisions on whether the trial is joint or fair.
The king''s edict is still so, "tradition" is needless to say - the Lord has the final right to interpret the "tradition" in his territory.
The ambiguity of the king''s edict is because the kingdom of danze is not a centralized country. The Lords everywhere are like vassals in foreign lands. In addition to their nominal loyalty, when the royal family is weak, there are not a few independent lords who claim to be king.
Therefore, the king''s edict must be vague enough, because only in this way can the noble lords have absolute power in their territory. Otherwise, we will change a king.
Arthur actually had no objection to this and was happy to accept it. In short, Shanghe collar wanted to formulate a written code by himself.
What really bothered Arthur and had to give up the idea of shaking hands was the values reflected in these laws.
Arthur did not want to be a saint, nor did he want to be a hero. He also knew that the essence of reform was to adjust measures to local conditions, seek truth from facts, and transfer everything to time, place and conditions.
This is also an important reason why he handed over the legislation to Mr. Yilu and others and became a shopkeeper himself.
But he was naive. He thought that as long as he knew the principles and directions and knew the history of the Kingdom well, he would be able to formulate a code suitable for the river collar.
People have limitations, even the most knowledgeable people in the world.
Although the civil law articles formulated by Mr. ilu and others have improved the social status of civilians and improved the litigation and trial procedures in accordance with Arthur''s instructions, they are still inevitably filled with a large number of dross of traditional law because of the reference of King''s edicts and kingdom traditions.
Such as indifference to the lives of slaves, oppression of women''s rights, punishment of homomorphic revenge and so on.
The law formulated by Mr. ilu and others gave Arthur the feeling that it was like old wine in a new bottle.
