In the future, this incident will surely spread throughout Huitu Village and even the entire Wubei Territory, and will have a certain deterrent effect.
But what Luo Ning considered was the problem exposed behind this incident - Wubei Territory did not have complete legal provisions.
Therefore, when faced with incidents of this nature, the consequences will vary in severity depending on the people who handle them.
In fact, not only the Wubei Territory, but also the Wushan Territory and even the territories of many nobles in the kingdom lack complete legal provisions.
When punishing a criminal, if the criminal is an ordinary person, the punishment is generally based on the experience passed down by word of mouth by legal personnel or the decision made by aristocratic lords.
If the criminal is a noble, minor offenses can be dealt with by a fine, while serious offenses will be discussed and decided by vote by the nobles in the territory, and the great nobles will have more say during the vote.
As for the specific legal provisions, to be honest, parchment is so expensive. How much paper and money would it cost to write down the detailed provisions? To put it another way, even if the legal provisions were really written down, they might not be used.
The literacy rate in this world is too low. Even many professional knights and even minor nobles cannot recognize all the words, let alone ordinary legal personnel.
Asking them to enforce the law with legal provisions in hand would be like asking them to enforce the law with legal provisions in hand.
"Wilson, how's your literacy?"
"My Lord, I know quite a few words."
A smug look appeared on Wilson's face.
Among all the ordinary people in Wubei Territory, most of them are illiterate, so being literate is indeed one of his strengths.
"Well, then you will draft a simple legal document for Wubei Ling for reference in daily management."
Wilson felt heavy in his heart. Although he was literate, he didn't know much about professional matters such as law.
Plus, he did have a lot of things to do, and today's accompanying inspection of the territory was a last-minute arrangement.
Seeing the other party's hesitation, Luo Ning couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Is there any difficulty?"
Wilson was a little embarrassed, but he still mustered up the courage to voice his concerns: "My lord, this may be a long process, and I may not be able to think it through carefully if I am alone."
What he said makes sense.
The law involves all aspects. Even though the modern law in which Roning lived is so complete, when it comes to a certain case, he may not find the corresponding article even after searching through all the laws and regulations.
It's a bit difficult for Wilson to handle this matter alone.
"It's okay. These are just temporary regulations. You can write down some common conflicts in daily life, such as how to deal with ordinary fights, how to deal with bloody fights, how to deal with deaths, etc. Once you're done, you can show it to me, Elrond, Jenny, and others."
Luo Ning thought for a moment and added, "The interim regulations don't need to be long or complete all at once. They can be supplemented gradually based on the security situation in the territory. When you write them, you can also recruit relevant talents from outside. Wubei Territory needs a legal officer and a group of legal talents."
After hearing this, Wilson felt a little more relaxed.
Now that Wu Beiling already has channels for external communication, caravans from outside will come in, so it is not difficult to publish some recruitment information.
Besides, Anthony's cooperation with Wu Beiling is still going on, so it is very appropriate to ask him to help deliver some information.
Relying on the influence of the lord, it is not a problem to attract these people to join.
As the two were inspecting, a nimble black shadow quickly came running over.
This was a huge monster with a body length of two meters. The aura it exuded made the horses under Roning and Wilson feel uneasy. The two men tightened the reins to control it.
"It's Miss Irene coming over." Wilson said with a smile.
Many people in Wubei Territory knew that there was such a monster in the territory. Although they were a little afraid when they saw it, they did not panic and run for their lives.
Irene and Heihu stopped in front of Roning, one greeted him enthusiastically, and the other hummed as if wanting to be touched.
Luo Ning smiled, jumped off the horse and touched Hei Hu's head, "Where are you going?"
"My mother asked me to deliver something to my father. Now that I have done so, I am on my way to the Swamp Castle!"
Irene's eyes stayed on Roning, hiding her admiration for him.
However, after she had a heart-to-heart talk with her mother since she came back last time, she realized that if she wanted to stay with the lord for a long time, her own value was very important.
Although she is not as good as the princess, she has a good talent for magic. In the future, she will become a powerful magician like Teacher Elrond, and she will be able to stand confidently and calmly beside Brother Ronin.
Luo Ning touched Irene's hair again and said, "Come with me to find your father?"
Irene shook her head. "No, the teacher only gave me a little over a day. I still have things to learn when I go back!"
Luo Ning spread his hands and said, "Be careful on the road then."
Irene patted Black Tiger and said confidently, "Don't worry, I am now an intermediate magician, and Black Tiger is already a level 2 magical beast. There is no danger in Wubei Territory."
The two exchanged a few words and then parted ways.
Looking at the backs of Irene and Heihu, Roning couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the little girl had regained her former liveliness.
"Wilson, go back and remind Elrond and Jenny to pay attention to the black tiger's estrus period."
Luo Ning said: "Then I will see if I can catch some storm wolves to mate with. If that doesn't work, I can find some ferocious male dogs."
"My Lord, do you want Wubei Territory to have more Storm Wolf mounts?"
Roning nodded.
The endurance of the Storm Wolf is no worse than that of a horse. With the black tiger as its mother, even if it mates with a dog and gives birth to offspring, the physical fitness of the offspring is unmatched by the dog.
If a team of wolf cavalry could be built, Wu Beiling's combat power would be even stronger.
Huitu Village is not far from Ziguo Village, and Roning arrived there quickly accompanied by Wilson.
Now, this place seems to be becoming a textile base.
Leah led people to weave silk, while Horn was responsible for expanding the mulberry fields so that there would be more mulberry leaves to feed the silkworms next year and produce more silk.
The craftsman Dann continued to optimize the loom based on the feedback from Leah and others. According to him, he and his apprentices are already working on remodeling a loom suitable for flax and wool weaving, and once successful, the efficiency will be greatly improved.
Luo Ning has already explained to Chahar that they can collect flax and wool from outside, weave them, and then sell them to the outside world, which can bring in considerable profits.
Next, Roning inspected the other two towns.
He felt that there were more people in the territory. The fields and woods were full of busy figures. The construction team also built many more wooden houses in rows and groups, and the overall situation showed a thriving trend.
People's mental outlook was also much better than when he first arrived in Shanlin Town.
After all, Ronin brought them more food and cheap supplies. They had food, shelter, and clothing. Free people could also earn wages, and even slaves would be rewarded if they were diligent.
No matter which world people are in, they always yearn for a better life.
They were grateful to Elrond for curing their diseases and relieving their pain, and they were even more grateful to Lord Rhonin for providing them with a place to live and work in peace. (End of this chapter)
