The draft of the code that Leiden submitted has been put into order. The top part is the first part of the code, which is related to the legal system of the Great Xia Territory.
The above clearly and in detail elaborates on the purpose of "Xia Duo, the pioneer of the Great Xia Territory, has irrefutable rule over the Great Xia Territory and will inherit it forever."
This also includes the relationship between Bactria and Netheril. In short, Bactria recognizes itself as a part of Netheril, but is relatively independent, and at the same time recognizes the Sewington Council as Netheril.
The sole ruler.
In addition to the legal system, the Daxia Code also made detailed and clear provisions in criminal, civil, trade, marriage, inheritance, trial and other aspects.
Many of the articles looked very familiar to Chateau, and he was indeed familiar with them, because this was what he had mentioned to Leighton before, and Leighton also understood his thoughts very accurately and reflected them in the details of this code.
.
For example, many articles were originally in the form of "whatever someone did, he will be judged accordingly".
But now, the original specific numbers are replaced by ranges, such as "the amount of money stolen within a certain range will be punished."
This may weaken the authority of the judge, but it also makes the law clearer and is conducive to stability.
For another example, laws related to the protection of children, which had never appeared in Netheril before, now appear in the Bactrian Codex.
There were originally many legal loopholes that could easily be found by Xia Duo, a time traveler, but now they rarely appear.
Until Xia Duo read through all the detailed articles of the code, he did not find many omissions. Of course, the loopholes are indeed useful, but there is no need to go into details, because the details themselves mean revealing the loopholes.
In his hometown, isn’t there a saying that “the ways to get rich are all written in the criminal law”!
Based on his experience on Earth, Xia Duo must have set up a lot of red tape. If he really took advantage of the legal loopholes, if it went too far, then you can't blame him for not predicting what he said.
He will also explain this later when training territorial judges.
…
After reading the detailed articles of the code, Chateau traced his memory in his consciousness and reviewed these articles several times. After that, he gave Leiden a few brief comments and said:
"I'm very satisfied with the code. The last few modifications I mentioned have been completed. Let me take a look at it again, and then prepare to preach it to the people!"
Leiden took the parchment that Xiaduo handed back and said respectfully: "Yes, sir!"
"That's it, just keep busy and contact me anytime if you need anything!"
"Yes, sir."
…
After leaving the Government Affairs Office, Xia Duo did not repair the magic network. Instead, he returned to the Tower of Time and randomly found an unused general alchemy laboratory on the public floor.
The code of laws of the Great Xia Territory has been basically completed. In addition to the original lecture by Leiden, he is also planning to make a physical code and place it in front of the altar in the middle of the altar square in the territory to let the people of the territory know, abide by and respect the law.
Like God.
On Earth, in Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations, their king created the first written code discovered by later generations - the Code of Hammurabi, and engraved it on a black basalt pillar.
Shado didn't know how King Hammurabi felt when he was making the stone pillars of the code, but he was very excited now.
This means that his thoughts as an earthling will have a profound impact on this magical world, which is not something that the "Pioneering Manual" can compare with.
Although the "Daxia Territory Standard Development Manual" also contains the concept of earth injected by Shado, Netheril was already in the development period at this time. As the saying goes, practice makes true knowledge. Without Shado, they might not be able to find a suitable development.
method.
But the code is different. It must be very forward-looking, otherwise it will easily fall into a chaotic situation where the law does not apply or the order is changed overnight.
There is no doubt that the legal system on Earth is much stronger than that of Netheril. With over tens of billions of people and the crystallization of social science accumulated over thousands of years, how can a mere Netheril compare to it?
Even the elves do not have as complex, strict and huge legal system as on earth.
…
Such an almost unprecedented legal code entity naturally needs materials worthy of it, and the genuine Chateau is going to be made of fine gold.
Of course, it's impossible to use pure gold entirely. It's expensive, and there aren't that many Towers of Time. All you need is pure gold alloy.
But now, what he wants to make is not an authentic product, but a practice. After all, there are still some contents in the code that need to be modified and adjusted, and even if it is an authentic product, it needs to be sampled first.
He directly ordered Ta Ling to retrieve all the iron materials from the Material Management Office. When he saw the specific size of the iron materials, Xia Duo immediately praised his approach of making samples in advance.
Without him, there are really too few!
Originally, he planned to make a rectangular cube at least as tall as a person, with the full text of the code written on the front, but now he discovered that the Tower of Time was short of iron.
Of course, it is not impossible to make the cuboid thinner, but that would give people the feeling that the weight and authority of the code have been lost.
In the ancient times of his hometown, the ancients made cauldrons to record certain important events. Netheril did not have the habit of using cauldrons, but stele, pillars, statues and so on were commonly used.
It's just that Nese people are more accustomed to using stone instead of metal.
Xia Duo also felt that metal was more reliable out of habit, but in fact, with the existence of magic, even stone could have properties similar to metal.
Since the Tower of Time does not have enough iron, there is an iron mine in Savile Territory, but it is unknown how long it will take to temporarily mine and smelt it.
It's better to use stones.
"Stone?"
Xia Duo ordered Taling to return the iron material, then took out a chair from his personal space, sat down and thought slowly.
It can be achieved by using craftsmen to quarry stones and even engrave the text of the code. Of course it will take a long time, but what Xia Duo thinks is, since he has the idea of creating a magical civilization, how can he completely use ordinary means to create it!
What about magic? Where is magic embodied?
Even using magic to transform the mud embryo into stone, Xia Duo felt that it was not possible. He always felt that something was missing and it was still too ordinary.
After thinking about it, he realized that what he really wanted was a magic item that could be used as a code and also had some special abilities!
So what capabilities should the physical code have?
After some thinking, Xia Duo gradually came up with an idea, but how to do it still required more careful consideration.
After thinking about it, he took out the only Saluk witch statue stored in his portable space. Such a statue had been buried deep underground for countless years. When it was discovered by his subordinate Jabas, it still had some magical power left.
.
If you change its shape, wouldn't it be a natural physical code?
