Chapter 419: The Era of Immortal Rule



Public security is better than during the era of dynastic rule, people have more dignity, and law enforcement is stricter.

But the immortal was not satisfied.

In the past, I couldn't see it, so I couldn't control it. Now that I really control the world, I have to do it well with the temperament of an immortal. Moreover, the human race is still on the poverty line. Once the grain in a certain place cannot be harvested, famine will soon occur.

The shortage of resources will inevitably lead to the emergence of various evil forces.

Just like what happened not long ago, the top immortal sects would not oppress the common people, but the city lords' mansions in major cities acted recklessly due to their negligence in management.

Finally, a riot broke out and the Immortal Palace suppressed it, and in the end, the official hats fell to the ground.

Prime Minister Pan Jun did not refuse.

This incident made him realize that the immortal was not a good guy, but a strong man who brought peace to the troubled times and a powerful man who had dominated the world for thousands of years.

The other person's preferences are very important.

As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Pan Jun felt a trance in front of his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in a bamboo forest.

In the distance, there was a Taoist monk in green robes sitting cross-legged on the ground playing the zither, while in front of him was a Taoist priest and a monk fighting with each other.

Through face reading, we can recognize that the Taoist priest is Qingxuan, whose face looks more childish. The monk, on the other hand, has an unusually handsome face, red lips and white teeth, and a solemn appearance.

Qingxuan pressed the monk under him, leaving him no room for resistance.

Prime Minister Pan Jun didn't recognize Du Shi and asked, "Master Qingxuan, is this after the flood? How come you are still so young?"

According to official calculations, Taoist Qingxuan should have been nearing his death after the flood. Even if he didn't die immediately, at least he wouldn't have died so young.

"This is one of those lock screen memories that I often take out to admire. Oh, and that monk is Du Shi."

Qingxuan admired it for a few seconds, then took Prime Minister Pan Jun through the bamboo forest, and in a flash, the two of them stood in an ancient city.

People were wearing coarse linen clothes, some carried bamboo baskets, some carried cloth bags, some were shouting and doing business on the street, and there were beggars begging.

Prime Minister Pan Jun looked into the distance and saw a huge city wall at least a hundred meters high, and a monk flying by on a sword.

Suddenly, a foul smell hit me in the face. The street was apparently quite clean, and I had no idea where the smell came from.

Taoist Qingxuan explained, "Because there are too many people living in the city, feces have piled up into mountains. When the wind changes, the whole city can't stand the fumes. It could have been solved by exploring Feng Shui and using formations. But the people below are too lazy and don't take it seriously."

After he finished speaking, another foul smell came to his face, and Prime Minister Pan Jun almost couldn't help vomiting.

The era of immortals has some flavor.

————————

Under the leadership of Du Shi, Prime Minister Pan Jun selected one of the more distinctive cities for a field survey of humanities and geography.

Although it is from Qingxuan's perspective, Huashen's memory is enough to simulate a virtual reality.

The city they visited was called Yundong City, a city located in the southeastern part of Tianzhou.

The city's name comes from the clouds floating in from the east. Qingxuan also said, "All the names of the cities were given by the immortal. He said that when he saw the clouds floating in from the east, he thought of an old friend."

Prime Minister Pan Jun knew who it was without having to guess, as the sword immortal had already died during this period of time.

There is a stone tablet standing in various places in Yundong City, which is 10 meters high and 5 meters wide, and is engraved with dense text.

The two stood in front of the stone tablet, looking up at the words on it.

With Qingxuan's guidance, Prime Minister Pan Jun was stunned for a moment and then understood the text above.

【Civil Law】【Criminal Law】【Minor Protection Law】【Commercial Law】【Administrative Law】……

The entire page is filled with laws and regulations, some of which are extremely detailed, while others are extremely brief.

The naming method is very modern, but the content has been adapted to local conditions.

For example, the definition of self-defense in the Criminal Law is much more relaxed than it is today, and is written extremely briefly.

The defense of innocence includes but is not limited to armed breakers in homes, rapists, armed criminals, etc.

Prime Minister Pan Jun saw this and wondered, "The law is so simple, aren't you afraid that someone will use it to kill people? For example, breaking into people's homes and conflicts between neighbors often occur. If killing is legal, wouldn't that add up to many more cases?"

Neighborhood conflicts are most likely to lead to quarrels and fights. If one party deliberately annoys the other, once the other party walks into the house with a weapon, the one who gets killed can only blame himself.

In the eyes of Prime Minister Pan Jun, this is very unreasonable. The law should not be aimed at punishment, and it should not be a means for ordinary people to kill people.

"It is true in modern times, but this is an agricultural society. People's hearts are not that complicated. Compared with procedural justice, people here pay more attention to results and people's hearts."

Qing Xuan smiled and asked back, "The stricter the law is designed, the more conditions there are, which means that the superiors don't need the people to do anything. And the immortals like to fight back with an eye for an eye, so the conditions for this kind of thing are naturally simple and clear."

"And don't forget that in this society, being armed is equivalent to owning a gun."

Prime Minister Pan Jun thought about it for a while and finally nodded in agreement.

In an agricultural society, we cannot expect a strict legal system like the modern one. Not to mention whether it is suitable or not, the law enforcement departments may not have such high quality.

The rule of law is not just a book, nor is it just slogans. Instead, it requires institutional construction and the support of a large group of people who know and understand the law.

But if we can’t even get judges together, how can we implement the rule of law?

"Master Qingxuan, why are administrative law and commercial law placed so high? There are obviously empty seats below them."

Prime Minister Pan Jun noticed that there was a section missing from the top of the stone tablet, where two laws were hung high up and ordinary people could not see them at all.
