Chapter 234: Mekpis Code (Part 2)
The "Hamurabi Code" is currently known as the first written code in the world.
The code protects the interests of slave aristocrats. The code is divided into three parts: preface, main text and conclusion. There are 282 articles in the main text, including litigation procedures, protection of private property, tenancy, debt, usury, marriage and family.
The Code of Hammurabi is engraved on a black basalt column with a height of 2.25 meters, a circumference of 1.65 meters and a circumference of 1.90 meters at the bottom. It is the oldest and most complete code in the world.
This code is an epoch-making symbol and represents an era. Its role at that time strengthened royal power, social order, and economic development, and promoted national prosperity.
More importantly, it eliminated the private laws of the original city-state and lords, and unified the national laws. It marked the stage of humane society from the age of complete theocracy to the stage of human autonomy.
The preface to Hammurabi's Code stated in almost the same form: "Annu and Enlir plan for the welfare of mankind, commanded me to be the glorious and fearful monarch of God, Hammurabi, to carry forward justice in the world, to eliminate evil and evil people, to prevent the strong from bullying the weak, to make me like Shamash, shine on the head of Guizhou and shine on the earth."
And now, this era is exactly a similar era - from a slave society to a feudal society, from a city-state society to a unified kingdom society
Of course, Wu Yan could not copy the "Hamurabi Code" and create the "Mekpis Code"
She went back to summon some priests, went to the workshop to check, and obtained some opinions. Three days later, she handed over a small bamboo slip with only eight items on it - the code was not done in one step, but was needed and formulated by the people of this world themselves. She understood this point.
(1) Any businessman must be a free citizen, or a person above a free citizen shall be the one who is a free citizen or above.
(2) Any weapon workshop merchant must go to the church and the palace to report and obtain an emblem, which can be used for generations. Stealing the emblem is equivalent to stealing property. A penalty of 1,000 silver coins will be given. If nothing can be paid, the thief will be sentenced to death.
(3) Any weapon handed over to the palace and the church must have an emblem, it is inspected by the temple, and those who fail will be whipped and fined.
(4) Any weapon merchant who sells weapons to a king or an enemy declared by the church will be sentenced to death.
(5) Any merchant will pay the tax jointly formulated by God and the royal family. If he has no money to pay, he must pay his land and houses.
(6) If you encounter burglary or robber within the scope of a weapon workshop, you can be executed immediately without a trial
(7) If a slave in a weapon workshop fled or disobeyed his master, he could be executed immediately without a trial
(8) In order to acquire copper and iron, weapons merchants are allowed to go to enemy areas and battlefields
The law is simple and very barbaric, but this is not implemented according to Wu Yan's will. It is actually needed at that time, reflecting the cruelty of the criminal law and the inequality between people.
After reading the Prince Mekpis, he was quite satisfied and approved these terms and implemented them.
Soon, the folk and nobles, thirteen families applied for the emblem. They rushed to the battlefield, collected the damaged weapons, took them back to melt and rebuilt, and sold them to the royal family and the temple, and the quality was checked by the priests of the God of War.
Not long after, this method became popular, and the weapons were damaged and supplemented, and the
For this reason, King Weixi, who commanded the army on the front line, also wrote a letter to praise his son: "Your method is good and your ruler's wisdom."
Of course, the specific host Wu Yan was also rewarded with a bag of gold and ten slaves.
Prince Mekpis reduced one job and made the matter complete. He liked it very much, so he ordered Wu Yan: "Prince Melfi, although you do not have the foresight of your uncle, you have his wisdom. In the future, such things will be handled accordingly."
This is equivalent to giving her the right to make laws, which was granted by the True King, and from then on, she has not used other world civilizations to promote it.
Wu Ye still has a cautious attitude. Basically, he only formulates specific legal documents that are effective quickly and have actual needs, but does not attempt to formulate a code that is tolerant and relatively complete, and does not create it out of thin air. He mostly extracts outstanding people from the original local customs and regulations and fixes them in the form of law.
Even so, with the emergence of one decree after another, the successful experience in the kingdom was fixed, and the internal order of the kingdom gradually improved. In the case of long-term use of foreign troops, it played a major role in promoting and building a relatively stable rear. These are all understood by those with insight.
Somewhere deep in the rainforest
A team of temple armed personnel were acting, suddenly, Moore raised his hand
Suddenly, everyone stopped and everyone behind immediately entered a favorable position and leaned low on the ground
These people are all first-class talents in each temple, with an average level of more than ten, with a total of about hundreds of people.
After a moment, they all felt the black form, slowly moving on a swamp
"Kitley, an ancient god, fell into an evil beast, had to obey the orders of the God of Darkness, and had lost all the divine nature and most of the divine power, and even lost the ability to think. It's so sad!" Moore thought so. He did not express the previous god identity of these monsters. After all, this damages the majesty and glory of the gods.
This is not the first time that the priests who have the advantage in numbers have adopted a siege.
Fortunately, the moon broke through the shackles of dark clouds and spread the moonlight on everyone.
"Create an altar!" Moore issued an order
The first is the altar of the Lord of Glory, which was standing on the ground. The priest knelt on the ground regardless of the dirty and poisonous insects on the ground and began to pray in a low voice. After a moment, a little holy light flashed out of the altar, which coincided with the moonlight. The poisonous insects around fled wildly, and they didn't have time to die, forming a range of hundreds of meters.
Secondly, the priests of the other seven gods prayed, and the overlapping holy light began to form a condensed force, describing mysterious symbols in the air.
"Sir, it's moving!"
Although he had lost most of his thoughts and power, Kitley was once a god after all. He instinctively felt the crisis, raised his head and roared around him.
Under the moonlight, the monster had a wild boar-like head, with pointed and long fangs on his jaw. After smelling it, it suddenly roared again and rushed towards the group.
"Sad, it automatically enters the ambush circle without even being angry." Moore sneered.
When it rushed into the altar, suddenly he said, "God said, that evil thing will be imprisoned."
Suddenly, countless patterns emerged out of thin air, forming various shackles, locking its actions.
Since it has been tempered and cooperated with tacit understanding, almost all the paladins drew their swords and spears and attacked them in the same moment.
Mars flew everywhere, it roared in pain
Those weapons blessed by God only tear a little of their fur, and black blood flowed out. If you look closely, you can see a trace of golden color inside - this is the legacy of the gods
From the prediction, we can know that its body is inaccessible and has very powerful recovery. The wounds that are cut on them will recover quickly.
But now, all weapons have special blessings that can cut off its skin and make it difficult for the wound to heal
Almost at the same time, various magical techniques, like artillery, concentrated on attacking.
These magical magic that is generally up to level 6, and it is like a free money, hitting it
"Ah!" it screamed, and a stream of flames kept gushing out of him, penetrated into the wound, burning its nerves and skin
The monster Angtian roared, and suddenly a little symbol appeared on his body.
Moore was not surprised at all, he just looked carefully: "This is the condensation of the power of destruction, um, I didn't expect that it still retains a little destructive divine power."
At this moment, all the priests retreated and knelt on the ground to pray.
The eight holy altars rose from the holy fire, forming symbols one by one, and continued to entangle like shackles. The monster struggled desperately, and each struggle would break several pieces, but there were more entanglements.
And the paladins kept taking out the blessed spears and bows, and poured them down with weapons of divine power.
As the wounds grew, black blood kept coming out, and the monster suddenly let out a shocking roar. The black symbol exploded in an instant, breaking all the surrounding symbol shackles.
The temporary altar seemed to be unable to withstand this power, and it shattered into countless small pieces with a "bang".
But as it cracked, a little light suddenly lit up. These eight rays of light tore up the space in a blink of an eye, hitting the monster in the middle, and immediately pierced it through.
The monster roared interrupted, and at the sixteen front and back holes, black blood like a fountain emerged from the holes with fountains.
"Kill it!" Moore issued an order
Suddenly, hundreds of paladins rushed forward, and the sacred power burst out from the sword light.
"Ah!" The seriously injured monster opened his mouth with a grim teeth. It made its last resistance and killed more than a dozen paladins in succession. However, after a moment, it finally fell down with a "boom". The eyes, which were originally filled with evil and blood-sucking light, are now full of pain and despair.
Moore took out the smallest altar that he brought with him, which was only a sizeable area, but as soon as he appeared, the sacred light illuminated the entire ground.
The monster was exposed to this light, and suddenly, its eyes gradually became clear, and it whispered: "Where am I?"
But he woke up before death
"Kitley, I will go back by the order of the Lord of Glory, where you will be reborn!" Moore said loudly.
This familiar and strange light made it remember something, and it murmured in a low voice: "Light, sun!"
His eyes dissipated, and a little golden light with huge black air rushed out, and rushed towards the altar.
The altar shook violently
Mour's eye of foresight had already seen that on the palace of the Kingdom of God, a statue began to emerge from nothing to something.
Almost at the same time, a huge divine power emerged from the altar. All injured people were immediately treated, and the black aura on the dead people also dissipated, revealing a peaceful face.
The clergy immediately knelt down and felt God's grace
