Chapter 233 233. Misunderstanding
The new generation of rifles is equipped with an iron ring to assist aiming, acting as a simple scope.
The range that can be controlled is improved again.
When applied to hunting, it can be described as a dimensionality reduction attack.
So much so that hunting is no longer a high-risk job, but a relaxing entertainment.
When Baosha went in and out of Fulin Castle, she had seen the shooting training of the Guards. Her first impression at that time was that the rifle was a new type of crossbow.
Once, she expressed her opinion in a tavern and was ridiculed by a drunk soldier.
How can a rifle be compared to a crossbow in terms of power?
In terms of range, a pistol is better than a crossbow, and it is more powerful and more lethal.
The range of a rifle is even closer to the limit of human vision.
As long as the object is vaguely visible, the rifle can almost hit it.
Can you imagine a giant bear falling under a rifle from a thousand meters away?
Even those who have broken the limit would find it difficult to resist that kind of speed and lethality.
Soldiers with guns theoretically have the ability to change the situation in high-end battles.
Although Donggang City seems to have an army of only a thousand people, its combat effectiveness is actually no less than that of more than ten thousand Swift Dragon Cavalry.
At the time, everyone thought the drunk soldier was just bragging.
The truth is that she is still too conservative. As the population grows, Fulin Castle has not had a new round of military expansion, and the guard corps has always maintained a number of thousands of people.
The city defense army was split into three armies: one was called the security army, one was called the city management army, and one was the city defense army. The president was still Cailan.
There are no other changes, just the division of labor has become more detailed.
The prison, managed by the security forces, was set up on Fulin Road, and anyone who made a mistake would be imprisoned there.
After waiting for the Supreme Court to convict, they will be sent to serve in various places depending on the result.
Lord Lovi has compiled the most basic laws, making improvements on the previous laws. The power of adjudication is transferred from the hands of the lords and consuls to the hands of the judges, forming a state of mutual restraint.
Bruno thinks this is a good thing.
Absolute power will lead to absolute corruption. From now on, the cities in the territory will no longer be decided by the consul alone.
Judges have the power to judge! This year, Lovi ordered the guards to send the newly compiled code to major cities.
The task of selecting judges is to get results by the end of the year.
The drastic territorial reform began with road construction and the development of water power.
Among the scholars who came from the Central Continent, some were very experienced in developing water power. After verifying their experiences, Lowe entrusted these people with important tasks.
These two hundred scholars are truly a timely help to the entire Free Territory.
Even Bruno was amazed at the knowledge and ability of some of them: "If there were another 200 of these people, the talent problem in our territory would be completely solved."
How to attract more talents to join.
Lovi discussed with everyone for a long time, and finally came to the answer that Donggang City must have something worth showing off.
For example, tall buildings. For example, the concept of freedom. For example, train tracks. For example, a knowledge system.
Most of these scholars from the Central Continent were impressed by the invention of paper. They believed that Fulinbao must have something worth learning.
These advanced-thinking scholars were keenly aware of a change.
Magical civilization has developed for thousands and tens of thousands of years. This time, it is finally the turn of ordinary people's civilization to leap forward. It is like being at the edge of the wind before the tsunami comes . As the initiator, Lovi has no perception of this. He is immersed in the peaceful years.
Since I halved the number of reps, I feel much more comfortable.
He usually ignores the resentful look of the maid behind him, with his hands behind his back and a comfortable smile on his face.
"Master, where are you going?"
"Prison inspection."
"What are you doing in prison?"
Lovey did not answer Xiqi's question. He was surrounded by people and came to the door of the prison building.
It would be more appropriate to call it a detention center rather than a prison.
After waiting for trial, the prisoners left here to serve forced labor.
There are no restrictions on freedom and food and accommodation are provided. People do not see food as a punishment but a reward, because they do not have to work.
The prisoners here will not be shackled, so it doesn’t matter if they escape, but their household registration will be revoked if they escape.
People without household registration can hardly move around, and will not enjoy benefits such as land allocation, work, and housing, and they have almost lost their right to survive. For ordinary people, it is not much better than death.
Only some special guests will be locked up in reinforced concrete cells.
The former Lord of the Forest City, Cuibisi, sat on a pile of grass in the corner with her knees hugged. The narrow window above her head let in a little light, so it was impossible to see her face clearly.
"My Lord, how are you going to punish me?"
"I don't want to punish you. I would rather let you go. But if I don't punish you, someone will imitate your behavior in the future, which will cause me a lot of trouble."
"I see. I was indeed rash. I heard that Lord Ai Xin received similar treatment."
Luo Wei was surprised: "Do you have any contact with Ai Xin?"
"Every year we send a caravan to Donglin City to buy a batch of fruits, and then someone said that Lord Ai Xin was pregnant, and it was the Lord's child." Cuibisi paused, and then said: "I thought that I could make a similar request. Since there is a precedent..."
"Aixin's situation is not because of her status as the city lord, but because of a personal relationship. She is the disciple of my mother Evelyn, and I am just fulfilling my promise to help her." Lo Wei felt embarrassed to continue: "This is a misunderstanding, not your subjective offense, so you should get a lighter sentence."
"I'm willing to accept any result." Cuibisi said in a submissive manner.
"Just be patient and wait for a few days." Lovi left this sentence and turned away.
Before dinner time, Lowe briefly mentioned the matter at the table.
Everyone was indifferent.
Lodel looked down at her slender fingers. The calluses on her palms had fallen off, and her entire hands had become as perfect as jade carvings, with her nails a healthy nutmeg color.
Bruno seemed to be hard of hearing and held his heavy reading glasses with one hand to reduce the weight.
Mossofie is Lowe's number one supporter: "Master, since it is a misunderstanding, you should make your own decision."
Luo Wei snorted heavily: "I think so too. Let's release Cuibisi later. Revoking her qualifications as city lord is already a heavy enough punishment."
"Master is wise." Mosuofei applauded in support.
Seeing that the light in the restaurant was getting dimmer, Lowe waved his hand and turned on the magic light in the restaurant.
In recent years, the magic lamp has to be replaced almost every six months, and the frequency of damage is very high.
In order to turn on the lights, Fulinbao has to spend at least an extra hundred gold royals every year.
If the various commodities had not brought in huge profits, there would never have been such extravagance and waste.
