"These three people, knowing that I ordered you not to kill, received the food I distributed but still violated my rules. Those who kill will die, and those who injure others will be punished! They must be executed according to the law!"
After Lan Nuo's words fell, the scene fell silent. Although they were all people who were used to seeing death, they were still restrained by Lan Nuo's power at this moment.
It was obvious that Lan Nuo did not take the initiative to release any pressure and looked like an ordinary person, but he still kept everyone silent.
Only the scarred-faced man who was tied up and about to have his head chopped off burst out laughing: "How ridiculous! You came to the city of killing, and you still talk to me about the law? Do you think you can uphold justice by killing me? You are so naive.
! Can you control how many people kill people every day in the killing city? In such a sinful place, it is so childish to imagine justice!"
Click!
Lan Nuo ignored him, and with one click of his knife, beheaded the murderer beside him who was crying with fear, and let him taunt and curse wherever he went, like a ruthless machine.
Soon, there was another knife, and the head fell to the ground. He was ruthless, as if he could not hear the words of the scar-faced man at all. When Lan Nuo walked towards him, the man who had been so tough just now also had a trembling tone in his voice, imagining that the other man was being stabbed.
The picture of him becoming angry due to his own ridicule did not appear. His words could not even make the other party waver in the slightest. Seeing that the knife had been raised, he shouted fiercely: "Even if I am..."
Click!
Lan Nuo didn't pay any attention to his yelling, and without letting him finish his last harsh words, he chopped off the man's head like a machine.
"Those who kill will die and those who injure will be punished. Is there anyone who hasn't remembered this?" Lan Nuo stood in the blood on the ground and looked at the remaining people. The people he glanced at couldn't help but shrink their necks.
God Shura was in the God Realm, paying attention to what Lan Nuo was doing. He originally thought that Lan Nuo was funny and didn't kill people, so he might not be destined for his divine status, but when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes lit up.
The authority of God Shura is not simply killing. In a more popular way, it should be the killing of evil. To define evil, there is no doubt that there needs to be a rule as a premise.
The wolf eats the sheep. Killing the wolf is just for the sheep, but for the wolf, preventing himself from hunting and causing him to starve to death is evil. I am a hero and the enemy is an enemy. There is no order to define evil.
God Shura has no legal basis for eradicating evil.
In the city of killing, those who kill strong people can get the approval of God Shura. This is because most of the strong people here are evil according to the rules agreed by the outside world. Killing these people will naturally get the approval of God Shura.
, after all, the existence of Shura's position itself does not have the requirements of justice and evil. As long as Shura's mission is strictly implemented, justice and evil do not matter.
And what Lan Nuo is doing is just like the Shura God himself. There are no rules in the killing city, and good and evil cannot be defined, so establish rules and kill the evil in the rules without mercy, not for justice, but for justice.
Kill to uphold the rules!
In theory, other people can do the same thing. Enforcing rules is simple, but what is difficult is having the means to establish rules and manage more than a thousand people. Not everyone has it. Those who were class cadres in their previous lives must have it.
We know that managing a class of forty or fifty people is quite troublesome. Managing thousands of people, even if you have a strong fist, is useless if you don’t have some real skills.
…
Back in the killing city, Lan Nuo's actions made everyone feel the weight of the law for a while. The price they had to pay for breaking the law was not something they could bear. But if they obeyed, they could at least use their own labor in exchange for something.
food.
After Lan Nuo confirmed that there was no dissatisfaction, he nodded: "Next, the exchange begins. Everyone can take your goods and exchange them for peas with me. Similarly, if you have peas in your hand and need the goods in my hand, you can also
Can be exchanged for peas.
If you want to exchange each other's goods, you can also exchange peas here. The price does not need to be based on the price on the clay tablet, you can negotiate by yourself.
Such a transaction will be carried out here every week. If there is a strong buying or selling, it will be slapped ten times. Next, I need two people to distribute peas for me. I will give it to these two people every Friday.
A pea!
The first person to raise their hand gets the spot!"
After the words fell, after a brief silence, someone suddenly raised his hand. Following him, four or five more people reacted and raised their hands. Lan Nuo nodded and named the two people who moved the fastest.
Take out ten peas and give them to them.
"You must abide by the rules during the distribution process, otherwise you will have one hand cut off." After saying that, Lan Nuo looked at the remaining people: "Everyone can report to me if they see someone violating my rules, but if
It cannot be proven that the person being reported committed a crime, and the person reporting the crime must bear the punishment for the crime you reported.
In other words, if you report someone else for murder, and it is finally proven that the other person did not commit murder, then you will be punished for murder, that is, be beheaded!"
Everyone only dared to listen quietly. Lan Nuo announced the recommended penalties for theft and fraud, and then pushed the two carts of peas to the two chosen people.
"You distribute according to the price. In the next week, you have to learn the words and numbers representing the goods, as well as the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This time you only need to exchange according to the law. Next time, you need to record the bill in the form. Do you have to do it?
The penalty for falsifying accounts is to cut off one hand."
The rules set by Lan Nuo are as strict as the Qin Law. Everyone is more or less dissatisfied. No one wants to be restrained, but for the sake of food and their own lives, they still have to abide by it.
As the trading started, the square gradually became lively. After some people exchanged peas, they felt that they needed some other things, so the trading started. Some people wanted a rope to repair their houses, and some people needed thin wires.
While mending clothes, some people wanted to eat some meat, so they exchanged them for the carcasses of mice and birds. After the transaction started, everyone found that they seemed to have a lot of things they needed, but the variety of goods here was too scarce.
In the past, if they wanted these things, they could only rely on stealing and robbing, and the risks of stealing and robbing were undoubtedly extremely high. Even the materials distributed every time were snatched back by the strongest group of people.
There is rarely such a safe and fair trading environment, and everyone has a large number of trading needs.
Some people also have different ideas. Since Lannuo can provide a safe trading environment, why do they have to trade with Lannuo? Everyone has needs and has excess food, even if the production is not recorded in Tao
The goods on the clay tablets can also be exchanged for food or even other desired things. Many people also have their own skills.
Someone took out a flute made of bones, but no one paid attention to it. Some people took out fired pottery, which attracted a few people to bid. Some people took out a few small fish from the ditch and started bargaining. The market seemed very chaotic.
But no one dared to actually take action.
Those who kill will die, those who hurt others will be punished!
These eight words were like a warning bell, echoing in everyone's ears. No one dared to really offend him. At least Lan Nuo killed three people without saying a word of nonsense. He was not unreasonable at all, just ruthless.
The law enforcement made them understand that there is no point in cursing and begging for mercy, only obedience.
After this transaction, most people returned home with a full load, and many people began to think about producing more goods. No one would complain that they did not have enough food.
At least the person who took out the pottery pot, after leaving, gathered a few familiar people and discussed something. It seemed that he planned to dig a clay kiln. It seemed that this person knew how to make pottery and had just tasted the benefits.
Others also had their own plans. After they reported several fraudsters and found that these people were not punished, they understood that you can do things that are not prohibited by law. If you do it once, you may be banned.
, but any behavior before being banned will not be investigated.
After Ye Yulin won a competition, he came back happily on his dog, carrying two packs of kebabs from the inner city. He handed one pack to Lan Nuo, but Lan Nuo threw it back: "Follow you
I told you, eat less food from this city. It’s not clean. Isn’t it enough for you to have an enema?”
"Tch! If you don't know good and bad, do you know what uncleanness means? You won't get sick after eating it!" Ye Yulin snorted and took a hard bite of the meat skewers.
"Ha! You know what they are made of. In such a lawless place, there is no guarantee that the kebabs in your hands are made of human flesh." Lan Nuo rolled his eyes. After he came in, he ate not a single piece of meat.
I stewed it myself, so this is what I'm guarding against.
Snap!
Ye Yulin suddenly dropped the skewers on his cell phone to the ground, holding his stomach and retching.
Lan Nuo picked it up, tore off a strip of meat and looked at it carefully: "It's okay, what you bought is not human meat, it feels a bit like...duck meat? Tsk! Is it already a traditional art to use duck meat to disguise mutton skewers?
?”
Ye Yulin got up in embarrassment, but still couldn't help but retched. This was not the first time she had eaten meat. She didn't know if she had eaten anything suspicious before.
"I said what boring things have you been doing these days! What's the point of wasting time with these weaklings? You might as well accompany me to the shopping mall in the inner city." Ye Yulin said this obviously because he wanted Lan Nuo to appraise it.
Let’s find out which snacks are edible.
"This is not boring stuff. Have you seen these people trading? Have you ever thought about why they didn't trade before?" Lan Nuo pointed at the busy crowd in the square with a bamboo stick.
"Why? Because I was afraid of being hacked before. No one was watching. It would be more profitable to just rob than to trade." Ye Yulin gave the answer without hesitation.
"Indeed, this is one reason, but robbing is risky. If they are not hungry, few people will fight with others for a meal. They do not conduct transactions. Another important reason is that they simply
There are no items to trade.
The entire city of killing almost only eats imported materials. It produces almost nothing and has no surplus products at all, so what is there to trade for?
Now you should be able to understand why I don’t give them food for free, but let them exchange it for supplies, right? I want them hemp rope and wooden boards for what use? I don’t need these things at all, all I need is for them to move
, start producing, no matter what is produced, as long as it is produced, it is wealth.
Only after production starts, there will be surplus supplies, and only then will people start trading.
Labor creates wealth. This is a simple truth, but many people just don’t understand it. They think that only strong personal force can create wealth. As long as they are strong enough, fame, fortune and wealth can be easily obtained. However, they do not realize that they are not involved in this process.
It has not increased the wealth of society at all."
Lan Nuo quickly recorded the contents of the transaction that had just occurred in the ledger, and then pointed it out to Ye Yulin: "You see, the food they exchanged was also exchanged for commodities of equal value. There is no doubt that the next
For a week, everyone involved in production can have enough to eat, and they don’t have to go hungry as before.”
Ye Yulin frowned, always feeling that something was wrong: "But you provide the food! Only when there is more food in the market can they eat enough! If you don't give them food, they will still be hungry."
Lan Nuo shook his head: "The total amount of wealth in my hands has not changed. I just replaced the food with other commodities of equal value. In essence, the food they eat is still the value created by themselves.
Even without me, can their products be traded with the inner city where supplies are abundant? You can see that you can eat kebabs at will. The food in the inner city is obviously quite rich. Maybe these crappy goods are not enough now, but there will always be
Goods of sufficient quality are produced.
I can indeed make them surrender by relying on force, but I can subdue a thousand people, I can subdue 10,000 people, but there are more than 300,000 people in the killing city. It is impossible for me to control them all, nor can I stay there forever.
here.
Therefore, the deterrence of force cannot maintain the rules I set. Only when they realize that living under my rules is beneficial, they will spontaneously maintain my rules after I leave.
If you don't understand, you can continue reading." After Lan Nuo finished speaking, he clapped his hands and stood up. He no longer needs to sit here and take care of it. People have already enjoyed the benefits of the transaction. Even if Lan Nuo leaves in the future,
The transactions that occur once a week will be maintained spontaneously, because this is beneficial, and it is safer to get what you want than stealing.
And God Shura, who has been observing all this, is becoming more and more interested in Lan Nuo. What Lan Nuo has done is beyond the scope of God Shura's priesthood, but this method makes God Shura very interested. In addition to
Besides force, there seem to be other ways to maintain order, and the effect seems to be better than force.
As for the authority of God Shura, whether it is more important to kill evil or to maintain order is more important, even God Shura himself has to weigh it carefully.
