After entering Xinhua City, Sima Qian's perception was completely reversed.
Here, it is simply a metropolis no less than Linzi and Luoyang The flow of people is so fast that it can almost be called sweating like rain.
What's more, it was completely different from the market scene that Sima Qian had seen in other places.
Xinhua City is a well-ordered and well-organized city.
There are many rules here, and the government has to control how the people walk, and the roads are strictly marked.
You can only keep left to go forward, and to turn back, you need to walk hundreds of steps further forward to a prescribed so-called turn.
It is said that this is because in the fourth year of Yuande, horse-drawn carriages were rampant in Xinhua City, and there were often tragedies in which merchant carriages were rampant, blocking traffic and even killing or injuring people Not only that, in this city, open defecation will be directly arrested and sent to the fishing ground and even to Cheng'en Island for labor reform.
And others such as littering, spitting.
Once discovered, they will be fined immediately, and if they have a bad attitude, they will be directly punished with caning.
The flogging in Xinhua City is also different from other places.
Here, flogging is seen as an educational rather than a punishment.
So, you can only whip up to ten lashes According to the Metropolitan Protectorate, it is that the law guides the people, and the punishment prohibits evil.
The Anton bureaucrats, who were deeply influenced by the ideology of the mixed family, were very disdainful of the use of torture to mutilate the limbs of others, and generally did not easily use all kinds of corporal punishment and punishments that could disable people.
Therefore, according to the decree promulgated by the Metropolitan Protectorate, the people who violate the law should be punished first, and the master should be punished.
This means that when people break the law, officials should first consider the problem from the perspective of education and education.
Words that have not been changed over and over again Hehe, it's abuse to punish without teaching, and after teaching you so many times, you still don't know how to repent.
This official is also very heartbroken can only slash horses with tears Therefore, the entire law of Anton has been rising step by step.
Minor offenses and violations such as littering, violating regulations, and driving the wrong way on the road.
The first offense, the second offense, are education-oriented, whipping a whip, so that you can remember it for a long time.
The third time, I began to focus on correction.
How to correct it Labor reform Reclamation regiments, fishing grounds and mines, you can choose, start in one month, and cap in three years, which is absolutely unambiguous Generally speaking, after some labor reform, anyone will remember that it is not right to do so.
Of course, if you want to do it again, then there is no way.
When you come back from three years of hard labor and still commit another crime and get caught, sorry, you are already a hopeless and unworthy scum in the eyes of the government.
Endless prison and hard labor await you.
Even, if the government cracks down, you may not be able to keep your head So far, there are no such fools in the whole of Anton Relying on such means, Sima Qian heard that at least in the big cities of Xinhua, Pyongyang, and Chonghua, everyone followed the rules and did not dare to violate any government regulations.
If someone accidentally violates the rules, they will honestly go to the officials to receive the punishment.
Because according to the provisions of the law, those who surrender or confess can not accumulate the number of times.
But if you don't turn yourself in and try to hide it, then once you are discovered, you will be happy.
Normally, no one would want to add one.
This kind of thing made Sima Qian sigh with emotion and shock after observing it.
What he sighed and was shocked by was not the execution of the Anton government, but the obedience and obedience of the people of Anton.
Even with so many rules, so many cumbersome restrictions.
However, in Sima Qian's view, in Xinhua City, whether it is Yidi or Zhuxia, they are all honest and obedient, and no one offends.
This reminded him of some legends recorded in the history books.
In the past, in Tang Yu, the portrait and the people did not commit it Anton's official mansion, although far inferior to Tang Yu's holy king, relied on cool laws and strict enforcement.
But they can get the people to agree and obey, and they can make the people and officials implement all of them, which is a rare thing in itself "It is said that Anton's decrees, policies, and other systems are all discussed by public opinion" Sima Qian thought to himself: "If I have the opportunity, I should personally participate in it" This kind of thing has been discussed since ancient times.
Huabiao in the Three Kings period had a similar effect.
Today, the meeting of Shiqu Pavilion is held every three years, which also has a similar effect.
However, it was only in Anton that Sima Qian saw that this kind of public discussion system was playing a practical role.
As a historian, Sima Qian was very curious about how this system worked and how decisions were made.
"Maybe it's a procedure similar to the Pingjia system," Sima Qian guessed in his heart.
Today, the Pingja system is fully formalized and institutionalized, and in the major cities of the Han Dynasty, the lord and the prince and the market authority jointly negotiate to determine the rise and fall of prices and the amount of supply. and the unauthorized power is elected by the market merchants.
According to the supplementary provisions of the Ping Law that were added last year, for every million dollars of tax paid, one person can be elected as a Pingjia to deal with the government.
The notion that paying taxes equals power and status began to emerge.
In Anton, Sima Qian felt that a similar design and procedure should be adopted.

It's just that outsiders don't know the specific details of this process at all.
Sima Qian only learned from others that the participants of each public meeting of the Metropolitan Protectorate were different.
It seems that the officials of the prefecture have a system for selecting participants.
When it comes to businessmen, find representatives of businessmen, invite local nobles and officials when it comes to localities, and invite the three elders and well-known elders when it comes to civil affairs.
The whole system embodies the influence and penetration of miscellaneous ideas everywhere.
After reading Sima Qian's Spring and Autumn Period, of course, it is clear that this is the crystallization of the idea of using the crowd and the wisdom of the crowd.
But here's the thing "I'm afraid this system will not last long," Sima Qian sighed in his heart.
In order to strictly adhere to this system, the governor of the metropolitan protectorate must be tolerant and broad-minded, able to listen to opinions, and able to make iron-fisted and decisive decisions at critical moments.
It is also necessary to have extraordinary charisma and influence to persuade and persuade those who disagree.
The Governor himself, in particular, must be able to restrain his desires But there are very few people who can do any of these requirements, and those who do all of them are undoubtedly rare.
"Xinhua, what a hero," Sima Qian couldn't help but sigh.
The new Huahou who has left his post and went to Chang'an, the cousin of the Bo family, as soon as he returns to Chang'an, I am afraid that it will bring completely different changes to Chang'an.
This made Sima Qian look forward to it But at the same time, he also began to worry about the fate of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate.
Because Sima Qian understands that countless similar things have happened in history.
The predecessor has just taken office, and the successor can't wait to show his strength and overthrow everything he left behind.
The result was a disaster.
The good governance of the predecessor was completely transformed, and after a feast, it left a mess.
Therefore, there is a saying that some people take tea and cool, and people die in politics.
Therefore, Xiao Gui Cao will be so precious.
At this time, Sima Qian suddenly felt that the crowd around him was restless, and he didn't know who shouted: "Wu Zi is coming to Xinhua" In an instant, the whole city was boiling.
Countless windows were opened, and many children of the nobility and wealthy merchants poked their heads out.
For the Andong people, the Pyongyang Academy's Woo Woo Tzu is their pride, their spokesperson, and the teller of their thoughts, wills, and aspirations.
It was he who was the first to tell Anton: Faith and deception are in sex, not in intimacy, virtuous and foolish in the heart, not in the noble and lowly.
This sentence simply lit up the hearts of all people and all strata and shone into the depths of their hearts.
Whether it is the nephews of the liehous, the rangers, or the merchants, they all think so.
Because, they are either the concubines of the family who are not valued and sent to Anton, or the merchants who are regarded as untouchables, and simply the rangers who are considered to be the biggest problem in society.
Once upon a time, no one spoke to them.
It wasn't until Wu was taken with his disciples that he began to preach doctrine at the Pyongyang Academy.
Countless people immediately found the backbone.
Immediately, he advocated and advocated the wisdom and strength of the people, which on the one hand met the voice of the nobles and doctors, and on the other hand, he also gave the people great comfort.
At the same time, he attaches great importance to education, advocates education, advocates education, and believes that as long as it is a person, it can be changed through education.
It doesn't matter if he's a merchant or a ranger, and it doesn't matter if he's a Yidi or a savage.
Education can reverse everything, change everything, make them become gentlemen, become scholars, and become people of Zhuxia.
It is not only immigrants, businessmen, and rangers, but also Wuheng, Xianbei, and Haoren, and even the departments of Wofu, Fuyu, and Ding Ling, all of whom are in high esteem for him.
Especially three years ago, Wu was the first to stand up, countered the wrong remarks of the imperial historian, and saved Anton's good situation, which was simply a Buddha in thousands of families, and made countless people worship.
He was also the first to stand up and advocate the abolition of slavery, thinking that all men are equal, at least equal in personality, and that people should not be slaved, even if he is Yidi In the end, he actually contributed to this This makes people even more crazy and worshipped.
However, Sima Qian was a little skeptical: "Since Lü Buwei, the miscellaneous family has gathered the strength of everyone to be a teacher, and once told me that at the beginning, Lü Buwei and the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu family worked together to make it Today, everyone in the world thinks that Wu Zi is a sage, but Wu Zi can do so many things alone."
Sima Qian didn't believe it Confucius, Mozi, and Han Feizi all used decades of thinking to get what they achieved.
He Wu was beaten, how could he be better than Confucius, Mo Zhai, Han Feizi, and Shang Jun There must be many comrades behind him, and there are many like-minded people with him.
This can also be seen from the miscellaneous expositions that Sima Qian has heard and seen these days, and it is obvious that many articles and expositions are not a logic, an angle, or even a statement.
Some things even contradict themselves.
In this, there must be other people's thoughts and ideas in it.
But the problem is that outside of Wu Quilt, what about the remaining powers and giants Sima Qian has been in Anton for so long, but he has rarely heard of it.
"It seems that I have to go to the Pyongyang Academy to find out" The historian's curiosity made Sima Qian difficult to suppress.
But before that, he decided to pay a visit to Wu Quilt, who was about to come to Xinhua. t1706231537:
