Chapter 16 Public Law

Looking at the more than 20 ministers in the court under the hall, it would be a lie to say that they are not nervous at this time.

As an ordinary college student who traveled through time in later generations, he had never even been a village chief before, but now he came to the Qin Dynasty to open a prefecture to change the Qin law and lead the entire Qin Dynasty's legal affairs. He felt more or less a little nervous.

Fortunately, his knowledge of the law was beyond the reach of the people of this era, and he had the power and status provided by the emperor, so Li Yang, who was over 20 years old, seemed confident and had no fear at all.

Li Yang glanced at everyone and said strongly: "Yang was ordered by the emperor to open the government to clean up the laws and regulations. The laws and regulations of our government will begin today!"

"The first decree is to abolish the sanctions!"

"At the beginning of the law, all prisoners who are in custody and are punished as innocent!"

"The second decree is called the Public Law, with a total of 108 articles. This "Public Law" is the general rule of Qin law, and all Qin law must not violate the main meaning of the Public Law."

"These two laws are used to transport the fast horses to all counties and counties in the world. The laws are made public and the whole country is in harmony!"

Li Yang waved his hand: "Receive the letter and issue an order!"

"Abide by the order!" The court guard Meng Yi saluted, took the order, walked directly to the main case, and stood beside Li Yang.

At this time, the desk was filled with legal documents, which were actually prepared by Li Yang in the past ten days.

Meng Yi, who was the Supreme Court of the Great Qin, also ordered loudly: "The special envoy obeys the order!"

"exist!"

Suddenly, a group of special envoys responded in unison.

"Manchuan Special Envoy!"

"exist!"

"Hedong Special Envoy!"

"exist!"

"Nanyang Special Envoy!"

"exist!"

"Kuaiji Special Envoy!"

"exist!"

"Englishener!"

…………

"Enterprise from all over the country, set off immediately and teleport to all over the country!"

"Abide by the order!"

Special envoys from all over the country received the legal documents and then left quickly...

After Meng Yi sent the law, he immediately returned to the bottom, and no one in the hall made a sound.

The first method of abolishing the law of abolishing the five-class constipation method of Shang Yang (one person breaks the law, and the five related tribes, including relatives, friends, teachers, etc., will be affected). Starting today, one person commits a crime and only one person will be cured.

However, what everyone is curious about is what the so-called "Public Law" is?

Everyone looked at Meng Yi, obviously wanting to know some information from him, but Meng Yi, the court commander of the Supreme Law of the Qin Dynasty, was also confused at this time because he didn't know what the "Public Law" was.

I didn't know when I saw Meng Yi, so everyone looked at Li Yang on the main case again.

Li Yang naturally knew that they wanted to know the Public Law, so he waved to the Shugong who was responsible for the documents, and at the same time said to the great masters in the hall: "The Public Law is the general outline of the original Qin law. Now I will distribute the Public Law to you, and each one will have a copy. Please ask all of you to memorize this Public Law to memorize it, because the subsequent Qin law changes will be revised according to the general outline of the Public Law. Whether it is imperial power, government orders, or laws, they must not violate the main intention of the Public Law!"

"Abide by the order!"

Everyone in the hall responded in unison, then began to receive the "Public Law", and then couldn't wait to review it...

If a time traveler sees this "Public Law" at this time, he will definitely exclaim: Isn't this tm the constitution?

Yes, this so-called "Public Law" was actually compiled by Li Yang based on the constitutions of later generations.

Since it is a change of the law, then change it to earth and complete it. The first thing is to determine the outline of the law.

The Public Law is the outline and fundamental guiding all new laws.

Of course, the Public Law is not a copy of the items of the later Constitution, because this era is very different from that era, both in politics, systems, and society. Therefore, the Public Law is naturally very different from the later Constitution.

However, the purpose of the Public Law is the same as that of the Constitution. In terms of power, it is to consolidate and safeguard state power and regulate the effective operation of state power. In terms of law, it is to lay the foundation for the unity of the legal system.

In addition, there are two other points that are the most important, that is, Li Yang wants to use the "Public Law" to plant a concept called "personal rights and interests" to the people of the world.

For example, the first article of the "Public Law" is: The Great Qin Empire is the Great Qin of the Emperor and the Great Qin of the People.

Article 2 of the Public Law: The Qin Empire implemented the principle of Qin rule over the country.

Article 3 of the Public Law: All subjects of the Qin Dynasty are equal before the Qin Law.

Article 4 of the Public Law: The legal private property of subjects is not violated, and the Qin Dynasty protects the private property rights and inheritance rights of subjects in accordance with the law.

In short, there are a total of 108 articles in the Public Law compiled by Li Yang, of which two-thirds are the role of regulating the effective operation of state power, that is, limiting the purpose of abuse of public power. However, there are very few laws on personal rights and interests, limited to two aspects: personal safety and property safety. Other freedom of speech, freedom of demonstration, and freedom of assembly are impossible, and democracy is definitely impossible to exist at present.

For Li Yang, what he can do now is to plant the concept of "equality for everyone" and plant the concept of "personal rights and interests" from the people of the world.

For example, the first article of the Public Law is that the Qin Dynasty is the Emperor's Great Qin and the Qin Dynasty of all people. It is to let everyone in the world know that no matter who is the emperor, this country is not only the emperor, but also the emperor's, but also the people of each of them. At the same time, it also planted a gene called "democracy" for the people of the world.

In addition to the provisions on regulating the operation of state power and the protection of personal and property, the Public Law also has several provisions on the obligations of the people. The aspects involved are roughly clauses on the obligations of military service, corvee service, tax payment, and defense of the state.

Of course, the Public Law has a greater function, that is, Li Yang believes that as long as the Public Law can be implemented, even if he dies in the future, no matter how much Qin law is revised, it will not be evil. After all, the Qin law will be revised in the later stages and formulate laws and regulations. Therefore, the Public Law is also a direction for the formulation of the future laws.

In fact, later generations evaluated as Li Yang expected. Later generations evaluated the Public Law as the guiding light of the law.

Of course, this is all a story later. At this time, Li Yang naturally could not know how people in later generations evaluated him.

By the way, as the adults in the hall read the "Public Law", their expressions on their faces became richer.

Shocked, panic, and frightened, some adults even took out handkerchiefs and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads while checking.

After reading it for the first time, they all had four words in their minds, that is: Li Yang is bold!

However, after reading it twice and carefully understanding it, these officials who were in charge of the laws of the Qin Dynasty discovered that this "Public Law" was actually very exquisite.

Especially Feng Jie, as a censor, was in charge of supervising all officials. Seeing that two-thirds of the terms in the Public Law were all clauses that regulate the power of government agencies at all levels, he couldn't help but feel like he was getting a treasure, and he was extremely excited.

Feng Jie asked himself that although he was a censor and in charge of supervising all officials, he could not write such a comprehensive outline to regulate the operation of government agencies at all levels.

At the same time, he realized that if the Public Law is revised to supervise the law of all officials, the new supervision law will be extremely comprehensive and detailed.

Thinking of this, Feng Jie was trembling. He now really believed in Li Yang's talent in law, and he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Zhongcheng, this method... This method is really wonderful as the outline of Qin's law! Zhongcheng can come up with this "Public Law" alone, so I admire him!"

After saying that, Feng Jie gave a gift.

"Mr. Feng feels it's appropriate, so he feels relieved." Li Yang didn't expect that this "Public Law" would be so well praised by Feng Jie, and he felt a big stone in his heart. So he said, "Mr. Feng, as a censor and supervise all officials, why don't you lead the censors to revise and improve the existing supervision method based on the "Public Law" and revise and improve the new law after revising and improving it, so you can name it "Administrative Law"!"

"Abide by the order!"

Feng Jie and several censors below him performed courtesy and received the order.

At this time, Meng Yi said with concern: "Zhongcheng, this "Public Law" is indeed exquisite as the outline of Qin law, but... But the lower officials also found that the "Public Law" has many rebellious things. The lower officials are worried that this may cause trouble to Zhongcheng!"
