Seeing that everyone was finally impressed by their tyranny, Li Yang nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, he has been thinking about how the reform of the law should change these days.

Li Yang knew that even if he alone could change his life, he would probably not be able to modify and perfect Qin Rules, after all, a person's energy was limited.

However, if the officials of the judicial department were allowed to reform the law, the laws they revised would definitely not be what they wanted. After all, they were separated by more than two thousand years, and there were huge generation gaps in vision, thoughts, and ideology, and thoughts could not be unified. The modified Qin law will naturally go thousands of miles away.

Therefore, after many days of thinking, he remembered that it would be better to write a constitution similar to later generations, take a new name "Public Law", and then use it as the legislative foundation and ideological guidance of the new Qin law.

In this way, as long as this "Public Law" is used as the guiding direction of the new Qin law, the ideas of the new Qin law can be unified, and the specific revisions of the Qin law will not be completed one by one by one by one. What he wants to do is review, review, then stamp, publish and implement it.

In this way, not only can one be relaxed and at ease, but it can also allow judicial officials of the Qin Dynasty to have a new understanding of the law and completely change the thoughts of these officials. It can be said that it is a beautiful thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, Li Yang knew in his heart that this "Public Law" compiled by later generations does have many rebellious words in it. This is why he asked Ying Zheng's two questions in the dragon chariot on the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, just to know the bottom line of Ying Zheng's concession for this legal reform.

If there weren't those two sentences Ying Zheng answered in the dragon chariot, to be honest, Li Yang would not dare to publish the "Public Law" so hasty.

At the same time, there is nothing I can do about Li Yang's reason for putting himself in danger.

If Qin laws want to change, they must change from beginning to end, inside and out, not only the old laws, but also the old ideas, old systems, and old consciousness. Only in this way can the Qin Dynasty be truly renewed.

Otherwise, just modify the law, abolish the continuation, severe punishment for serious crimes, and minor crimes, then this is not a change at all. At best, it can only be considered an adjustment of sentencing, and it is simply a treatment of the symptoms but not the root cause.

If the people's patriotic thoughts and consciousness are not cultivated, this country that has been fighting for hundreds of years, which has been in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has died countless creatures and finally completed the unification, will have to be divided again.

If the law is not enacted and the people are given a way to survive, the country will not last long. The war will be ignited again and the world will eventually suffer.

In history, why did Liu Bang and Xiang Yu and others succeed? Isn’t it because the people responded? The people in the world responded to the war against Qin, so how could the Qin State not perish? All this is because the people in the world have no way to survive and have to rebel for a glimmer of hope.

There is land in the world but no one can cultivate it, which shows how heavy the labor service is, which is so terrifying.

All the people were arrested for labor service, but even the land was not cultivated. What was left to the people was two dead ends. The man died of labor service and the woman starved to death at home.

Let me ask, if there is no legislation to stop it, how could the Qin State not perish?

What's more, for the time traveler Li Yang, if the people in the world cannot even eat enough food and have no surplus food, how can they still have the energy to engage in handicrafts?

How to do business without engaging in handicrafts?

How can you do economics if you don’t do business?

Without the economy, how can society develop rapidly and how can the country prosper and strong?

Moreover, Li Yang had a small wish in his heart, that is, he wanted the whole world to speak Chinese...

English, French, Japanese, all of them are fucking out. In order to reduce the burden on the baby, this matter must be arrested from the Qin Dynasty.

So, to sum up everything, the first thing Li Yang needs to do is to give the people of the world a way out. Set a small goal first, such as giving the people of the world a full meal!

To allow the people of the world to have a full meal and have a way to survive, the first thing is to limit corvee labor. When it is time to farm, you have to farm with peace of mind. Only when the labor force is requisitioned during the slack farming period, so that the world's livelihood can be avoided.

"Zhongcheng, one hundred Qin laws have been initially modified. Do you think it is appropriate?"

Just when Li Yang was in a mess, Meng Yi came to him with a bamboo roll and asked.

"Well, thank you Lord Meng for your hard work." Li Yang took the bamboo roll with satisfaction, and did not forget to comfort him.

Meng Yi smiled awkwardly, but was thinking in his heart what would happen tomorrow morning.

The emperor was furious. Will he kill only Li Yang? Or will he kill all the officials of the legal reforms directly?

Alas, it’s unlucky!

Just as Meng Yi was crying in his heart, he heard Li Yang say unhappily: "Mr. Meng, what the hell is this changing?"

Meng Yi was stunned and said in confusion: "Zhongcheng, these hundred laws are all modified under the guidance of the Public Law. Is there any disadvantage?"

Li Yang pointed to Zhujuan and said, "Look at this one, you just fight and fight. You actually have to punish the prisoner's kneecap and chop off the prisoner's kneecap. This... isn't that too heavy, right?"

Li Yang was really shocked. For later generations, he could not understand such a heavy punishment.

Meng Yi said with a grievance: "Zhongcheng, we have already reduced our sentence."

The officials below also nodded quickly and said, "Yes, my sentence has been reduced a lot. Does Zhongcheng think it is necessary to reduce it?"

This time, Li Yang was confused: "Ah? This... this sentencing has been reduced a lot?"

Meng Yi nodded: "Zhongcheng, I, the Qin Dynasty, have the laws and regulations, and anyone who holds iron tools will be sentenced to death. Now it is just a crippling person and keeps his life. This is already magnanimous."

"……………” Li Yang was speechless.

Seeing that Li Yang seemed to be disbelief, Meng Yi continued to explain: "The Chief Secretary did not know that the crime of fighting was serious because the Qin people advocated private fighting. In order to legislate, the crime of fighting was particularly serious."

Li Yang gave him a dead fish eye directly, and then he finally understood what Qin Lu was more powerful than tigers. This fucking Shang Yang was too inhumane.

Li Yang sighed and waved his hand: "Change, change again, except for rebellion, the rest of the crimes shall not damage the body."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned and shuddered.

This means that unless the sin of rebellion, there will be no more chopping hands, feet, ears, and noses, and even fingers will not work. Is this still the law for these officials who are used to Qin law? Is this the law? Is this so compassionate?

Li Yang rolled his eyes and said, "What, in the future, these private fighters will be seriously injured, depending on the injury, or imprisonment or corvee service ranging from one to ten years. Those who are injured will be sentenced to death. Those who are slightly injured will be removed from the Criminal Law and have another law called the Public Security Law, or imprisonment or corvee service for one month to one year. You can go down and consider the specific law yourself!"

Meng Yi couldn't help but worry, "Zhongcheng, will this cause private fights again?"

Li Yang shook his head: "Mr. Meng is too worried. Don't worry, no one wants to go to labor service. Moreover, if you sentence a few years of labor service, almost no one can survive. Besides, it's meaningless to cut off other people's hands and feet. Wouldn't they starve to death? Why would they better build the Great Wall for me, do some coolies, and kill multiple things in one fell swoop."

Li Yang personally suffered from labor service. He was arrested to build the Great Wall for half a year when he came to this world. No one knew the pain better than him. It was simply hell. The supervisors were completely inhumane and did not regard the servants as human beings. Although he had only been labor service for half a year, he was not as good as death. He had thought of suicide several times. He also watched many servants fall down like this and never stood up again, and the bodies were built in the Great Wall.

Li Yang knew that not to mention the sentence of ten or eight years of corvee labor, even if he could finish three years and survive, he would be a minority.

Meng Yi thought about it and found it quite reasonable, so he nodded and said, "It's better that Zhongcheng is considerate."

Li Yang smiled: "Adapt slowly, when your mind changes, you will naturally understand the key difference between the law of governing the world and the law of fighting for hegemony. Governing the world is for peace, and if you want peace in the world, you have to leave a way out for people. As long as you don't do things that harm the sky and reason, you have to leave one way out for them, even if all you leave is hope."

"If you don't do anything that hurts the world, you have to leave a way out..." Meng Yi thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and he said happily: "Zhongcheng, the lower official seems to know how to modify this Qin rule!"

Li Yang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Lord Meng is a smart person. You can understand it at a glance, so I will have to worry about it!"

"Chief Zheng, you are the responsibilities of ours."
