On the day of leaving, Ye Zhou did not inform Chen Hou in advance.

He didn't want to see the huge crowd when he left. The bigger the crowd, the more headache he had.

But perhaps because he knew Ye Zhou was leaving, Lord Chen would come to pay a visit almost every day. Sometimes he came alone, sometimes he would bring the prince with him, and sometimes Zhao Xue would be with him.

Now Zhao Xue already has a clear official position and has become the prince's teacher.

This official position is not low but not high either, so that Zhao Xue will not feel despised, nor will it make the aristocratic families feel hostile towards him.

Ye Zhou felt that Zhao Xue was enjoying his current life very much. He followed Chen Hou with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude. Whenever he had the chance to get along with Ye Zhou, he would stick close to Ye Zhou and ask him all the questions about the imperial examinations and laws.

In fact, Ye Zhou didn’t have as much information as them about the law, because times had changed and even the imperial examination system had to be revised according to current conditions, let alone the law.

But although he did not give them the criminal law, he gave them the civil law.

Nowadays, every country in the world actually has its own criminal law, but the contents are different.

For example, in the State of Lu, although it had not yet proposed that the emperor should be punished the same as the common people if he broke the law, it had already strictly stipulated the consequences for the royal families who killed or injured others. Although they still did not have to pay with their lives, they had to accept punishment, which was a kind of progress.

But no country has laws that target the livelihood of ordinary people.

No country has marriage laws, inheritance laws, etc., everything is based on customary practices.

Compared with criminal law, Zhao Xue is more interested in civil law.

He was not from a noble family and did not think that these laws targeting the common people were trivial matters.

On the contrary, he held that pile of information almost day and night, not only reading it himself but also inviting a number of aides to help.

These aides were all people he met when he lived in the house prepared by Ye Zhou. They were all carefully selected by him and he believed that they were knowledgeable people with great ambitions.

When this group of people got together, they all focused their energy on civil law.

As for the criminal law, Lord Chen sent someone else to revise it.

We have to change it. This is not modern, and there are not enough resources. Is it useless to feed criminals by sentencing them? There are no factories here.

It would be better to just drag the criminals to do hard labor. If they complete their sentence of a few years, then it is considered that they have atoned for their sins. If they die during their sentence, there is no problem.

Moreover, the criminal law was too detailed and not applicable here. There were no modern means of solving cases, and not enough manpower and resources to invest in this area. Therefore, the scholars promoted by Marquis Chen had to rack their brains to revise it.

But the Duke of Chen did not stop at revising these two laws. He quickly promulgated the twenty ranks of nobility and the laws on farming and warfare.

Since the previous actions of the Marquis of Chen had caused an uproar throughout the country of Chen, even though the changes were so big this time, the people did not make an uproar. After hearing about it, they just thought that if it could really be implemented, being a soldier would not be such a hard job.

Originally, Lord Chen thought that the people cared more about titles.

Unexpectedly, the common people care more about the son inheriting the father's position.

Even if the father dies, the son can still inherit the title.

Although the salary cannot be passed on to grandchildren, it means that even if a soldier dies on the battlefield, his wife and sons will still not have to worry about their livelihood.

If there is no son but there is a daughter, although the daughter cannot inherit the title, she can receive a salary until she gets married.

If she had never married, she could have continued to receive the salary.

However, no one knew at that time that because of this decree, fewer women in the State of Chen got married, and more women took husbands.

Common people are not stupid, they know very well what is good for them. Compared with businessmen, they mostly weigh the pros and cons based on intuition.

But their intuition is surprisingly accurate. Most of the time, they don't even know how much benefit these policies can bring to them, but they have already started to work towards obtaining the greatest benefit.

Although a daughter cannot inherit a title, as long as the benefits are obtained, it doesn’t make much difference whether the title is inherited or not.

After all, if a man does not go to the battlefield after inheriting the title, isn't it the same as not inheriting the title at all?

Since you have the benefits, you can't give them up. There are always poor men willing to marry into my family, and I'm not afraid of disobedience. After all, the clan is powerful now. Once you enter my family, you are my family. How dare you disobey me? Ask my family if they agree.

As long as my daughter can get the salary, she will never be given to another family.

There is another type of marrying into the woman's family which is not much different from getting married, but because the man is the only son, although the man goes to the woman's family, he does not need to change his surname, and the children born do not all have to take the woman's surname.

More people accept this way of "marrying into the wife's family".

More and more people are willing to join the army. In the past, they were unwilling to join the army because the State of Chen was poor, and even if they joined the army, the salary they received was not much.

In order to prevent soldiers from deserting, salaries were withheld and paid only after the war was over. It was like a carrot hanging over the soldiers' heads.

But nowadays, people heard that being a soldier can earn money - pay every six months, and if you kill a lot of enemies in battle, you can also get a title. Even if you die, your wife and children can live well and continue the family line, so people do it.

There are even some poor families where the whole family forces their able-bodied men to join the army.

The tears they shed as they bid farewell to their son and husband were real, but that was all.

The changes in the State of Chen can be said to be rapid, and there seems to be new news every day.

The aristocratic families made a fuss at first, but they found it boring after a while - they opposed this today and that tomorrow, and they were so tired of opposing it that they were overwhelmed.

So they gave up making trouble with Marquis Chen and just took care of their own fiefdoms. Let Marquis Chen make trouble if he wanted to. After all, it was just a city called Linzi. When Marquis Chen wanted to attack their fiefdoms, it would not be too late for them to deal with him then.

It seemed that the reform of the State of Chen was just a sudden whim of the Marquis of Chen and was done for his own amusement. Although there was a group of scholars willing to follow him, the power of the scholars was limited. They had no land and no family support, and the little power they had was given by the Marquis of Chen.

As a result, the State of Chen was a little chaotic, but not completely chaotic.

The officials were all waiting for Lord Chen to get enough of the fun and get back on the "right track".

Lord Chen once again sent Jiang Hui and Zhao Xian away. He returned to the study, and the moment he opened the door, a smile appeared on his sad face.

No matter what happened outside, he would always feel refreshed when he returned to his study.

The study was full of scholars writing furiously. Many of them had not left the inner palace for more than ten or twenty days. They stayed in Chen Hou's study most of the time. Since they were all men, they were not so particular about each other and often copied with dishevelled hair.

When an argument breaks out, I feel like hitting someone.

Because there are so many men, there is always a smell of sweat in the room. If the doors and windows are not opened frequently for ventilation, the smell in the room can suffocate people.

But even so, Lord Chen felt happy when he saw them.

He didn't know when was the last time he was so happy. It seemed like a long time ago, but it also seemed like it was the first time in his life.

Zhao Xue followed Chen Hou in. As soon as he entered, he was almost choked out by the smoke. He sniffed and then walked into the study again.

This smell is really... He finally understood why stinky men are stinky men.

Some people even took off their shoes!

Lord Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Scholars are supposed to be elegant. If a scholar follows the rules, he would lose his integrity.

Scholars all over the world are proud of their romantic and unrestrained style. Not to mention taking off their shoes, they go crazy writing poetry and some even run out without clothes. When the common people see this, they can only praise them for being unrestrained.

"The Immortal should be leaving soon." Seeing that Lord Chen did not go over to disturb the scholars, Zhao Xue whispered, "If you have anything to ask, you should ask in the next few days."

Chen Hou smiled and said, "I think the things the immortal has given us are already enough, and they are written in great detail. If we just keep asking the immortal for help, who else can we ask for help after the immortal leaves?"

Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment, and he bowed his head slightly: "Your Majesty is wise."

Lord Chen waved his hands and said, "Why am I so wise? If I had not met the immortal, I would probably still be supporting Jiang Hui and Zhao Xian and letting them make endless demands."

"Let's keep them hanging like this until winter." Lord Chen looked out the window. "The people of Chen have suffered so much over the years. It's time for them to live a good life."

"There is only this one option." Ye Zhou looked at the new dimension unlocked by the system.

Along with the new plane, a "small hotel" is also unlocked, which is Ye Zhou's staff dormitory.

The name of the new plane is a bit confusing, but you can tell at a glance that it is definitely not a place in the Han cultural circle - Klagenfurt.

Ye Zhou placed the mouse on the place name, and the moment he did so, a brief introduction to the place popped up.

Klagenfurt is located on the edge of the Will Empire, but this place is not poor. On the contrary, it is very rich. However, only the top people are rich, and the gap between the rich and the poor is very large.

Ye Zhou could only come up with this one sentence to introduce this place.

But Ye Zhou was very interested in this plane.

This plane not only has humans, but also many other races, including but not limited to elves, goblins, tree people and orcs. Except for the absence of demons and angels, almost all the races in fantasy stories are present.

But Ye Zhou looked for a long time and couldn't tell whether there was magic in this plane.

Just before Ye Zhou was about to press the jump button, Sarah, who hadn't talked to Ye Zhou alone for several days, suddenly said, "Boss, I want to go back to my dimension."

Ye Zhou moved his hand away from the mouse.

He looked at Sarah.

Sarah said calmly, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I have to go back and take care of it."

Ye Zhou: "Can you go back by yourself?"

He had never been to Sarah's dimension, so he couldn't send her back through the supermarket.

"Yes." Sarah said, "The employment system has an option to go back, but you need to approve my leave first."

Under Sarah's command, Ye Zhou called up the employment page on the computer and approved Sarah's leave.

Sarah looked at Ye Zhou's profile, and she finally couldn't help but said, "Don't be too nice to her, she is still a bad guy now."

Ye Zhou exclaimed "Ah", he looked up at Sarah, not understanding what she was saying.

Sarah said nothing more, but waved her hand: "I'm leaving now, I'll be back soon."

She wanted to go along, but she couldn't.

There can only be one of her in the same timeline.

If two appear, both of them will disappear.

In this case, she took this opportunity to go back and deal with her brothers and mother.

They won't be apart for long.
