Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Seeing Man Chong concentrating on studying laws and regulations, Liu Yu was somewhat happy.

It is true that professional matters should be left to professionals no matter what era.

In a very short time, Man Chong had prepared all the laws and decrees. Liu Yu looked at the neatly arranged details and couldn't help but admire them from the bottom of his heart.

"Bo Ning is indeed a great talent. He sorted out all the laws in a short period of time."

Man Chong had a smile on his face, but he did not show any arrogance.

"I dare not deceive you, sir. Most of them are the laws of the Han Dynasty. I just made some minor changes to them."

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, which included not only the political system but also the laws. The Qin laws were detailed and standardized, and stipulated operating methods and punishment systems for every detail, in order to minimize the subjective initiative of law enforcement officers and reduce deviations and fraud in law enforcement.

Although the Qin Dynasty's system was advanced, it was also known for its strictness.

There are many small matters in Qin law, all of which have clear regulations.

When a thief kills or injures someone, no matter whether the victim is a man or a woman, anyone within a hundred paces who stands idly by and is unwilling to help shall be fined two sets of armor.

This made it an obligation to be brave and righteous. At the same time, the Qin Dynasty stipulated that in order to deal with blackmail and framing others, deliberately fabricating facts and charges to falsely accuse others constituted the crime of false accusation.

The principle of counter-crime is implemented for the false accuser, that is, the punishment of the falsely accused will be used to punish the false accuser. It can be seen that if you do not help someone in danger, you will be punished, while blackmail and false accusation will be severely punished.

Thinking of this regulation, Liu Yu couldn't help but think of the incident in later generations where an elderly person fell down and had no one to help him, which was often criticized.

If the laws of the Qin Dynasty could continue to the modern era, this situation would never have occurred.

The Qin Dynasty was able to stand out from the other six kingdoms because, after Shang Yang's reform, they had become at the forefront of the times.

The Qin State at that time was a war machine. When the machine was started, all the enemies standing in its way were chopped into pieces.

But when there is no war, such a system gradually becomes a shackle on the people.

When Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, started his army, the phrase that was most popular among people was, "The world has suffered from Qin for a long time!"

Without this premise, neither Xiang Yu nor Liu Bang could have overthrown the powerful Qin Dynasty.

After four hundred years of development, the Han Dynasty declined and the world fell apart. Liu Yu wanted to shoulder the banner of the revival of the Han Dynasty in this era, and he also needed institutional guarantees. Only in this way could he gather more and more powerful forces and have the opportunity to defeat the heroes of the world and continue the Han Dynasty.

After Man Chong's detailed explanation, Liu Yu understood the meaning of the law, which was generally not much different from his own ideas.

Liu Yu understood that severe punishments should be used in times of chaos. As for the so-called human rights, it is too early to discuss it at this time.

He told Man Chong his thoughts, and after a moment's thought, Man Chong understood the reason.

"Adapting to the times and the situation is the essence of the Legalist approach to governing a country. Your words have enlightened me, my lord. I will make the changes right away."

Xu Shu looked at Man Chong, who was convinced, with admiration in his heart. Although he did not understand the law, he understood strategy.

When it comes to strategy, the most important thing is the word "change".

Change with the times, change with the situation, the secret of change lies in one's heart. Only if you can do all of this, you are a true master of strategist.

There were not many places that needed to be modified, and Man Chong completed all the modifications in a very short time.

Liu Yu took the decree, read it through, and was very satisfied.

Now that the laws have been formulated, the next step is to issue them.

After the seal was used, the decree was quickly sent to various counties of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yu knew that with the prestige of the Han Dynasty today, not many things could be actually implemented.

Of course, Liu Yu did not want them to actually enforce the law. All he did was to implement it in Chang'an and Luoyang first.

The task of enforcing the decree naturally fell on Man Chong.

Looking at Man Chong's serious face, Liu Yu could foresee that in the near future, lawbreakers in Chang'an City would become famous and feared. After all, if the cost of breaking the law is too high, everyone would think twice.

……

……

Zhang Ji was still hesitating. The reason for his hesitation was simple. Now all the generals in Xiliang who participated in the rebellion had died in the war, and no one survived. It was difficult for him to believe that these actions were not deliberate by Liu Yu.

He was afraid that if he surrendered to Liu Yu, he would end up dead.

Even if Emperor Liu did not kill himself for the sake of his reputation for benevolence and righteousness, he would transfer himself from his current position and imprison himself somewhere like a canary.

For a general who has been dealing with the military for many years, life is worse than death.

After all, none of them had ever seen Liu Yu, and all the news about Liu Yu came from rumors.

Zhang Xiu saw Zhang Ji's hesitation.

"Uncle, how about this? I will go back with Jia Wenhe and ask for surrender from Emperor Liu to see what kind of person he is. If he is just pretending to be a fool and harboring evil intentions, I will send someone to inform you. Then, you just need to act according to the plan."

Zhang Ji was still hesitating, he understood that this was a good idea now.

"Nephew, it is extremely dangerous to go to Chang'an City. You must be careful."

"Uncle, rest assured. Even if Chang'an City is full of murderous intentions, I have nothing to fear. I am not bragging. Even if Chang'an City is a den of dragons and tigers, it may not be so easy to keep me here."

The young Zhang Xiu was very confident. The spear in his hand was of superb skill. He had never met an opponent since his debut. These were the basis of his confidence.

Zhang Ji thought about it again and again and decided to act according to this strategy.

After the two met Jia Xu, Zhang Ji said directly: "Wenhe, I have thought again and again and decided to surrender to Uncle Liu. I should have accompanied Wenhe to Chang'an to apologize to Uncle Liu, but I am helpless with complicated military affairs and cannot leave. Let Zhang Xiu and Wenhe go to Chang'an to surrender to Uncle Liu first. I will go there as soon as I have sorted out the military affairs."

Jia Xu was such a smart person that as soon as Zhang Ji said this, he already understood what Zhang Ji meant.

No matter what, I still feel unsure if I haven't met Uncle Liu.

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu did not point it out. Since you don’t believe it, then take Zhang Xiu back to have a look.

Our lord is humble, talented, and a rare hero in this world. How could he be afraid that you would not succeed?

Along the way, Jia Xu sat in the carriage, looking very relaxed, and chatted with Zhang Xiu.

From Zhang Xiu's conversation, Jia Xu also clearly felt that Zhang Xiu was a level higher than Zhang Ji.

He is a young hero. If he can follow Uncle Liu and fight in all directions, he will surely be granted a title of nobility and appointed as a general in the future.

After having contact with Liu Yu in recent times, Jia Xu has become more and more convinced of Li Ru's judgment before his death.

The one who can revive the Han Dynasty must be the Emperor's uncle!
