The Old Lady is Not Cute, Super Fierce

Bai Feishuang nodded slightly: "That's right, he does have similar plans, but it will take a long time..."

Sure enough?

Isn't this Zhao Heng really a time traveler?

Shen Mengyan looked at Zhao Heng who continued to talk about her plan, and thought silently in her heart.

Chapter 160 The Foundation of the Country

Shen Mengyan looked at Zhao Heng with suspicion in her eyes.

Zhao Heng looked at Shen Mengyan suspiciously, and said, "Is there something on Gu's face?"

"No." Shen Mengyan said.

Zhao Heng was puzzled again: "Is there something wrong?"

Shen Mengyan shook her head: "No."

Seeing what Shen Mengyan said, Zhao Heng stopped asking.

Now after almost several days of discussion, some laws have been enacted that benefit and restrict everyone.

With the end of this matter, the major sects can finally return to their locations, and will send their own sects to Fengjing within a month, as personnel stationed in Fengjing, to deal with some usual things .

For this kind of confrontation, many sects are relatively young, but it can be regarded as a start, so Zhao Heng still looks very happy at the moment.

In the past few days, Shen Mengyan has been unable to suppress the suspicion in her heart that Zhao Heng is a time traveler.

But it's a pity that Zhao Heng is a very normal ancient person and an aboriginal in other respects, except that he is very advanced in this matter, and she is completely different from Shen Mengyan.

Thinking that there are indeed some strange things in history that will produce very advanced things, Shen Mengyan finally suppressed her inner doubts.

Whether Zhao Heng is a time traveler or not has nothing to do with her, she is just curious.

Now that things are done, it's time for her to continue with her mission.

Zhao Heng suddenly asked: "Don't you think Gu's doing this is very powerful?"

Shen Mengyan nodded: "It's really amazing."

It makes me wonder if you are a time traveler, can you not be amazing?

Shen Mengyan complained silently in her heart.

"In fact, I have been thinking about how to do it all the time, so in addition to reading history books, I also asked people to get a lot of history books from other countries from foreigners. Because of this, I saw more possibilities. The royal family has always tried every means to strengthen its own power, so Gu wondered if he could do the opposite and limit the power of the royal family, because in Gu's view, a large number of descendants are more likely to be fools than smart Humans are much more likely."

Shen Mengyan was a little speechless. What Zhao Heng said meant that most emperors were fools.

Not just the emperor, but also those families.

"You should also know that to become the head of a sect does not need to be related by blood, and it is not so dangerous. You have to face the killing of your brothers. What's more, when the number of candidates to choose has expanded several times, you can choose more people. It’s good to find someone suitable for this position.” Zhao Heng said with a smile: “However, Gu also knows very well that after a smart person reaches this position, it is easy to use his own ability to centralize power again, so other people are needed. Come to restrict, because of this, the orphan will pull all of them together to formulate a law."

Shen Mengyan, who had quickly scanned the new law, said: "The new law has weakened your power by at least [-]%."

"They are worried about Gu, so they will naturally try their best to impose various rules in this discussion to restrict the royal family and the ministers, and the ministers also want to restrict the royal family and the Jianghu. Similarly, as the royal family, Gu , but also to limit the two factions, so after setting up rules and refuting each other, a rule acceptable to everyone came out, and they all made concessions, giving up some of their own power, so as to limit the power of other forces, and finally reach a state of balance."

Seeing the smug expression on Zhao Heng's face, Shen Mengyan had to admit that the other party did have brains, and was smarter than many people, but in Shen Mengyan's view, there was still a loophole after all.

So after struggling for a while, Shen Mengyan decided to say something.

"I want to say something, don't be angry."

"You can say it, Gu is not the kind of person who gets angry at will." Zhao Heng smiled.

Shen Mengyan saw that the other party said this, and thought to herself that even if the other party was angry, she would not be able to beat her, so she said: "Actually, there is a difference between the law and the law."

Zhao Heng smiled and said, "Tell me in detail."

"Let me give you an example. For example, the so-called imperial power granted by heaven in the past was not written into the laws of Da Zhao, but it is also a default law, and it is the most fundamental and basic law. The blood of the Zhao family is the status of the ruler of this big Zhao. The current law is a new law that was pulled out by the three parties after pulling each other. I think we can work harder and use this as a basis to come up with detailed rules. Let go of the right to interpret the law, because no matter who gets the right to interpret the three of you, the other two will not be convinced, it is better to set up a department that is responsible for the law."

What Shen Mengyan was talking about was the very basic content of the constitution (xian) law, plus the issue of judicial independence, and it was still a relatively primitive situation. The original Dazhao belonged to the royal family to control the interpretation of laws, and adding new laws was also the emperor's responsibility. Said, and the following ministers are used to assist in the formulation, at most it is to analyze the pros and cons, and then "the emperor must not, it violates the ancestral precepts", but it is obvious that this will not work when it comes to what Zhao Heng is currently doing .

Hearing Shen Mengyan's words, Zhao Heng also frowned. He was lost in thought. After a while, Zhao Heng raised his head and looked at Shen Mengyan: "Gu... really want to beat you up!"

Shen Mengyan spread her hands: "You can't beat it."

"Huh..." Taking a deep breath, Zhao Heng nodded: "You are right, if the interpretation power of the law is still in the hands of the solitary, they must be unconvinced, but their hands It doesn't work inside either, so it seems that we must create a new department... Otherwise, wouldn't it be equivalent to a Cuju competition, and the referees would also end the competition?"

Shen Mengyan smiled and said, "That's right, that's what I mean."

"If you don't find out earlier, this may become the fuse of the subsequent collapse..." Zhao Heng said helplessly: "But why didn't you say it earlier, if you said it earlier, then those people haven't left yet!"

Shen Mengyan raised her head and chest, looking extremely proud: "I thought of it because of it!"

Looking at Shen Mengyan's proud look, Zhao Heng cursed in his heart, but he couldn't beat her, so he had to give up.

Shen Mengyan giggled: "What's the hurry? Those people are still satisfied with you now. After you think about it, come to a meeting after a while and explain these things in person. I'm afraid their impression of you will be better, after all This is tantamount to thinking about them, after all, right now, the right to interpret this law is in your hands."

"What you said is true, but what should the people in this department do? The major sects, officials from various places, etc. have almost included everyone. Is it possible that from the combined faction of agriculture, industry and commerce that I plan to establish select?"

Shen Mengyan was taken aback: "What are you talking about? A combination of agriculture, industry, industry and commerce?"

Zhao Heng nodded and said: "The various sects belong to the original forces, and the ministers and others also belong to the gentry. They restrict each other and can cooperate with each other. Then I thought, how about those merchants? How about those farmers? What about those workers? Forget it? Since you have given the Jianghu sect the right to speak out, then it is better to give them the right to speak out, and you must not forget that the main source of Zhao's tax revenue is them."

Are you really not a time traveler?I... If I crossed over to become an emperor, I probably didn't think as much as you did, I'm afraid I'm too busy opening a harem.

Shen Mengyan complained again in her heart, but there was a thoughtful look on her face.

After a while, she said: "I really want to give it. It would be much better to just give it all at once. Now that the strength of the other two factions is not completely stable, they can insert (cha) in as soon as possible, but why would you think of this?" ? Wasn’t it always possible to control it in the past?”

"Do you think that if something goes wrong, those ministers will know the first time and think about the solution, or these people?"

Shen Mengyan carefully recalled the behavior of those people, and finally had to admit that Zhao Heng's words were very reasonable, only when his own things need to be treated, people will have 12 points of energy.

"So how do you choose who can join?"

"They choose by themselves, the same as the major sects. The Chamber of Commerce Alliance also chooses the president in this way. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is to civilize those farmers. Most of them are not literate at all..." Zhao Heng said At this point, his face was full of helplessness: "Things are still very troublesome...but what you just said is more important, and that really needs to be resolved as soon as possible. If you want to deal with businessmen, workers and peasants here, you can try it." Try to find those scholars who came from peasant households."

Because the merchants are relatively rich, they will let their children wait to learn to read and write. Many people in the chamber of commerce can write good handwriting, but they have no fame, so the representatives of the chamber of commerce can indeed directly learn from the chamber of commerce However, workers and peasants are low-level personnel. Even though businessmen are the cheapest in terms of saying, in fact, workers and peasants have the least promotion channels.

Except the imperial examination.

Therefore, many children of workers and peasants who have obtained the opportunity will also work hard to study and practice calligraphy, in order to obtain the name of a scholar.

Of course, many of them are actually descendants of gentry, but because they have declined, they look like farmers.

There are some scholars who have a good reputation among the peasant households. These people are indeed temporarily used to represent the private households at the worker and peasant level when they gather. Zhao Heng really thought about it.

In the future, what will allow more people to read and write is not something that can be done now. Today, the first industrial revolution has not even started, and there is no such opportunity at all.

Unless Shen Mengyan couldn't think about it, and suddenly went to get something like a steam engine or a textile machine.

For the time being, Shen Mengyan doesn't intend to do this.

At least until she finds the old site of Shenxiao, she will never do it.

Doing this kind of thing casually is very likely to lead to some unpredictable things, and I'm afraid it will lead to even more terrible consequences.

For example, when some great power appeared, because she disrupted the development of the world, she was slapped and turned into ashes.

Zhao Heng said at this time: "Is there anything else you want to add to the opinion you just raised?"

Shen Mengyan almost said directly, but she still decided to think about it carefully to see if she wanted to add something, so after flashing a bunch of constitution (xian) laws of various countries in her mind, as a time traveler, or Speaking of modern people, Shen Mengyan felt that she still had to say something for the lower class.

Even Zhao Heng was thinking about those people, but he would eventually have some limitations of the times, so Shen Mengyan said: "How about directly writing the content related to personal security into the basic law?"

"Personal security?"

"Except for treason, felony, and wartime or a specific state of emergency, no one is allowed to be arrested and detained unless a paper arrest warrant is issued by a special department, and the arrested person must be sent to the Yamen within a limited period Waiting for the department to conduct a trial, and the date must be set, and you can’t just detain others just because you can’t get evidence all the time.” Shen Mengyan said, and summed it up: “I think this can be summed up as the right to personal freedom.”

Zhao Heng listened and nodded lightly: "You're right. It was indeed easy to be detained like this in the past. Many officials dealt with those households who were dissatisfied with them. They arrested and detained them at will, and even directly There are also those who died in prison."

Shen Mengyan said: "I think the department of Yamen can be separated from the department with the right to interpret the law, and an independent judicial (si) legal department can be established to interpret and enforce the law."

Zhao Heng asked again: "Then what about the legislators?"

Shen Mengyan said: "Haven't you guys already done it? Just bickering with each other, you can always come up with new laws, it's pretty good."

"Then what about the fundamental law, or fundamental law, that you're talking about?"

"Build one first, and then use it as the most basic skeleton. The aristocratic families and sects in each region cannot violate this most basic law when they control the region, and the change of this law must be extremely difficult, and it cannot be changed just because of it. , otherwise there will be no restriction." Shen Mengyan said while trying to recall all the knowledge she could recall: "If I want to talk about a modification of the basic law to obtain the situation, then at least [-]% of the members must propose Just come out with an opinion.

"I can even give you more opinions. For example, this modification must be reviewed by the management agencies in various places, and it must be approved by at least [-]% of the regions before it can be passed."

Zhao Heng smiled and said, "Seventy percent? Why not more than fifty percent?"

Shen Mengyan said: "It's still the same sentence. If it is too easy, it will have no restraint, and it will reduce its credibility. After all, it is not difficult to instigate a small number of opponents."

Speaking of this, Shen Mengyan's expression seemed very complacent, she could recall so much knowledge from her previous life, Shen Mengyan felt that her head was still pretty good.

But at this time, she suddenly found that Zhao Heng was looking at her all the time, and that smile looked a little weird.

"What do you want to do?"

"I just feel that I should just hand over this matter to you. This is an extremely important matter to the entire Great Zhao. If it is done, it will be famous in history. I am afraid that it will be more famous than me. You can Don't disappoint my good intentions!"

"I……"

"I think that you have thought clearly and carefully, much more clearly than I thought, so don't shirk it. If there is only one person who can complete this matter, then it must be you, Miss Shen!"

Shen Mengyan looked at the light in Zhao Heng's eyes, and she suddenly regretted, why couldn't she control her mouth?

Chapter 160 Legislation

Group 4⑧ 87④ 97⑨9

Shen Mengyan, who originally planned to leave immediately, was harmed by her talkativeness and had no choice but to stay.

Although she could choose to leave directly, but Shen Wanjin's family business is here, plus some other reasons, Shen Mengyan finally decided to help Zhao Heng.

I don't care if the name goes down in history or something.

Shen Mengyan thought secretly.

At this moment, Shen Mengyan is located in a courtyard in the imperial palace. This courtyard was originally used as a place for some civil servants to live, but now it has been vacated and has become Shen Mengyan's office.

Looking at the new laws that Zhao Heng negotiated with those major sects this time, Shen Mengyan is writing the most basic laws, or constitutional (xian) laws, based on this.

In the new law, the imperial power is restricted, and the power of the major sects is also restricted, but the legitimacy of the major sects is also recognized from the other side. One thing can be found, the imperial power and the ministers are independent of each other, and after adding the independent sects, the three parties are independent of each other.

In the future, new forces will be added to become new customers on this table, but before that, Shen Mengyan still needs to do what she is doing.
