When Li Yang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was almost dusk.

Meng Yi, Feng Jie and others were holding the already revised bamboo scrolls of the law and waiting in the conference hall. When they saw Li Yang coming back, Meng Yi quickly said, "Sir Zhongcheng, these are two hundred laws that we have revised according to your requirements. Do you think it is appropriate?"

"Yes, okay, let's take a look first!"

Li Yang was very happy to see the stack of bamboo rolls piled on the table, and then picked them up to review them one by one.

This time, Li Yang was very satisfied. Although the revision of the law was still much stricter than the laws of later generations, it was already considered a relatively loose law in this era.

Li Yang also knew that strict law also has the benefits of strictness. Simply relaxing will do more harm than good in this era. After all, in this world, even food and clothing cannot be solved. If the law is too relaxed, some people will inevitably break the law for money, rice and food.

For example, robbery, the old Qin law was to kill and declare. However, the revised law became robbery of money. If the amount was small, it would be imprisoned or corvee for three to seven years. If the amount was large, it would be imprisoned or corvee for seven to fifteen years, or it would be death sentenced.

For example, the old Qin law was to delay the mission, and the old Qin law was to kill and decide the decision and add the joint position. However, the revised law became delayed by the mission. If the consequences were small, the rod would be thirty, and if the consequences were severe, the sentence would be imprisoned or corvee for one to seven years.

For example, military affairs were delayed, and the old Qin law was also a decree and a joint position. However, the revised law became imprisonment or labor service for three to ten years at the least, and death was sentenced to death at the worst.

In this way, all crimes have a level, and no one needs to follow them to convict and sentence them based on the severity of the consequences of the crime. This is exactly in line with the requirements of Li Yang's desire for serious punishment for serious crimes and minor punishments.

Li Yang remembered that the reason why Liu Bang rebelled was because he had condemned his servants to postpone his resignation and knew that even if he continued to send them, he would die. Moreover, everyone, including those servants, would be held together, so they simply hid in Mangdang Mountain.

There were also Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. Because it rained, the conscription team led by him could not arrive as expected and were afraid of being punished by the Qin Dynasty's military law. So their team of 900 people started a crime in Daze Township, Qi County, and the world responded and directly overthrew the Qin Dynasty.

All of this is caused by the joint positioning method of the old laws of the Qin Dynasty and the lack of grading of convictions and sentencing.

According to the revised law, the joint position has been abolished and the conviction and sentencing method is implemented according to the consequences of the behavior. Even if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang want to rebel, the nine hundred brothers under him will not follow. After all, the blame for the delay is led, and the people below are at best a misdemeanor, and they will not be forced to rebel together. Maybe even if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang want to rebel, the hundreds of brothers below will tie them up to receive the merits.

"Okay, right, the law revised by Lord Meng this time coincides with the original intention of our mansion. Misfortune and minor punishments are punished with serious crimes, so the new Qin law is regarded as such!" Li Yang read the two hundred criminal laws revised by Meng Yi and the others in a row, and was very satisfied and couldn't help but praise him.

He really didn't expect that Meng Yi would understand the true meaning of this legal reform so quickly, and felt very surprised.

When the officials of the Tingwei Bureau heard this, Da sighed and Meng Yi was very happy and said, "This is all because of the adult saying, 'If you don't do something that hurts the world, you should leave a way out'. The subordinate officials finally had a general direction for conviction and sentencing. Since the adults think that such a sentencing is appropriate, then we will revise the remaining old laws according to this standard."

"Okay, thank you, Lord Meng and you all." Li Yang nodded, very happy. It seems that the matter of revision of the law has already had a unified idea, which is very rare.

"Sir, what about the "Administrative Laws" revised by the Censorate?" Feng Jie asked impatiently.

Li Yang picked up the revised Administrative Law and started to read it, then frowned.

"Sir, what's the problem?" Feng Jie couldn't help feeling something was wrong when he saw Li Yang's expression.

Sure enough, Li Yang couldn't stand it anymore, so he threw the bamboo roll on the desk and said, "Mr. Feng, your Administrative Law is not good enough. The Administrative Law is to regulate the laws of governments and officials at all levels. You only convicts of greed, rebellion, lazy government, fraud, false reporting, concealment and other behaviors. This... What is different from the Criminal Law compiled by the Tingwei Office? What you want to compile is the Administrative Law!"

"This... we have revised this according to the old supervision law. The adults said that the old law should be relaxed, so..." Feng Jie was a little confused.

Li Yang sighed: "Mr. Feng, the difference between the Administrative Law and the Criminal Law is that the Administrative Law regulates the behavior of governments and officials and limits their rights. Except for what is written in the Administrative Law, nothing else can be done. On the contrary, except what is written in the Law, nothing else can be done. I wonder if Master Feng understands it?"

"Apart from what is written in the Administrative Law, nothing else can be done..."

Feng Jie muttered, then his eyes lit up and he was immediately awakened by this sentence.

In the past, officials were impeached inaction, violated the law, greedy, fraud, false reporting, concealment, government affairs delay, government affairs errors, etc. In other words, the previous supervision method is actually the same as the Criminal Law mentioned by Li Yang, that is, except for the crimes that cannot be committed, they can do whatever other things.

There is a big difference between what can only be done and what can’t be done!

As the censor who is responsible for supervising the responsibilities of all officials, he is just supervising the responsibilities of all officials. Naturally, he can understand the great role of the two in the regulation and restrictions of power. This completely draws a circle of the power of officials, and everything outside the scope of responsibility will be restricted.

After understanding the true meaning of "Administrative Law", Feng Jie suddenly felt a feeling of seeing the sun shining, and his eyes lit up, and at the same time he was extremely shocked.

He really didn't expect that Li Yang could come up with such a perfect supervision method. Especially the difference between the supervision method and the criminal law, the analysis was even more innovative, which made people suddenly enlightened and enlightened.

Genius! He is simply a god!

Feng Jie admired that he almost knelt down. The emperor abolished the feudal division, established counties, and established three dukes, nine ministers, censors, court officials and other systems. All of this was to centralize power, control officials and officials at all levels in the world, prevent the overflow of official power, and prevent officials from becoming arrogant and losing control alone. Isn’t Li Yang’s key to the “Administrative Law” perfectly restricting the power of officials in various places?

Li Yang could not believe such a perfect power constraint strategy, and Feng Jie could not believe it.

This strategy is not something that can be thought of just by understanding the techniques of checking and balancing power. Li Si is good at power techniques, but can he come up with such a perfect strategy to restrict power?

As a censor, I was in charge of the supervision of all officials, and I could not think of such a complete power-control strategy.

Li Zhongcheng is really a god!
Chapter completed!
