My subjects are too rebellious!

He moved his body to the side, easily avoiding the sharp edge of the hairpin. At the same time, he quickly stretched out his right hand, accurately grasped Qin Ya's wrist, and held her steadily in front of him.

Seeing this, Qin Ya's eyes flashed with surprise and unwillingness, but she did not give up struggling and tried to continue attacking Qin Chuan with her other hand.

However, Qin Chuan's movements were faster than hers. With a slight twist, he neutralized Qin Ya's attack. At the same time, with a slight lift of his left hand, he actually took off her mask in front of her.

The movements are smooth, without any drag.

He smiled gently, his eyes flashing with amusement and appreciation, and reached out to take off the mask on her face.

At that moment, Qin Ya's true appearance was completely revealed before his eyes.

It was a breathtakingly beautiful face, with skin as white as jade and features as beautiful as a painting. Even under the slightly dim light, it couldn't conceal her natural beauty.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be shocked by this beauty. He gently touched Qin Ya's face and said teasingly, "What a beauty. No wonder she can stand out in this world."

Qin Chuan immediately took action and sealed Qin Ya's acupoints with lightning speed, making her unable to move.

Then, he slowly sat back in his original position, folded his hands lightly on his knees, and stared deeply ahead, as if he was thinking about something, as if he had thousands of words to say.

"How can you, a bunch of rats, understand what I am going to do?"

Qin Chuan's voice was deep and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

"In your hearts, you only want the peace and prosperity of a tiny country, and you only want to live in peace in a corner and linger. But I am different. What I want is the unity and prosperity of the whole world, and the happiness and prosperity of all people."

At this point, a look of determination and firmness flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes.

"I know that this road is destined to be full of thorns and bumps, and there will be countless enemies and obstacles. But I am not afraid, because I have a firmer belief and determination in my heart than anyone else. Miss Qinya, you may think that I am cold and ruthless, but please believe that everything I do is for a greater goal and ideal."

Qin Ya was shocked by Qin Chuan's words. She couldn't move and could only stare at Qin Chuan in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

After saying that, Qin Chuan walked towards Qin Ya.

Qin Ya's face was full of resistance.

But the picture she imagined in her mind did not appear.

Qin Chuan came over and untied Qin Ya's blocked acupoints.

At the moment of untying Qin Ya's acupoints, a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes.

He raised his hand slightly and tapped with his fingertips, and Qin Ya felt a warm current rushing into her body, and her acupuncture points were instantly unobstructed.

She widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Qin Chuan in disbelief.

"You...why don't you kill me?"

Qin Ya's voice trembled slightly. She couldn't understand why Qin Chuan didn't kill her.

In her world, power and life and death are often just a thought away, but Qin Chuan's behavior was completely beyond her expectations.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly, and that smile contained both pity for Qin Ya and confidence in himself.

"Why should I kill you?"

He said calmly: "You are also a citizen of my Wu Dynasty now. I will protect you, my people."

After saying that, Qin Chuan no longer paid attention to Qin Ya's complicated look and turned to walk towards the exit of the attic.

At the moment when he was about to step out of the attic, he stopped, turned his back to Qin Ya, and ordered in a deep voice: "Let the boat dock."

..........

The boat slowly approached the shore, and Qin Chuan's figure gradually disappeared under the moonlight, leaving Qin Ya alone standing there, her heart full of confusion.

She looked in the direction where Qin Chuan left, feeling mixed emotions.

She never thought that she would see such a day.

..........

In the capital city, magnificent palaces and well-arranged markets complement each other, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is at peace.

However, behind this prosperity, the country's long-term stability is inseparable from strict and fair laws.

Therefore, Qin Chuan ordered the Cabinet Grand Secretaries Li Si and Zhuge Liang to jointly revise and improve the laws of the Wu Dynasty.

Li Si’s knowledge was all about making a fortune.

He knew very well that the law was the foundation of the country and every word and sentence must be handled with extreme caution.

......

"I think that this rule regarding land transactions should make the rights and responsibilities of both buyers and sellers more clear to prevent future disputes." Li Si tapped the table with his fingers, his tone firm.

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and smiled. "Brother Li is right, but we also need to consider that in remote areas, the people are simple and honest, and transactions are mostly based on trust. The law cannot be generalized, and flexible clauses should be set to cope with changes."

The two men began a discussion on this topic, covering everything from the land system to commercial trade, from the severity of punishment to judicial procedures, not leaving out any details.

"Brother Li's method is indeed rigorous, but I think some of it seems too harsh and may not be a long-term solution."

After hearing this, Li Si did not get angry.

As a representative of the Legalists, Li Si was well versed in the essence of Legalist thought, which is to emphasize the authority and fairness of the law.

He advocated the use of strict laws to maintain social order and ensure long-term stability in the country.

Every law must be carefully designed and repeatedly scrutinized in order to make it impeccable.

However, Li Si did not blindly pursue the strictness of the Legalists. Instead, he followed Zhuge Liang's advice and incorporated the Confucian spirit of tolerance and enlightenment into the law.

It's roughly as follows...

Roughly.

Treason and high treason: Plotting to murder the emperor, endangering the country, and plotting to destroy national ancestral temples and the emperor's mausoleum are stipulated as the first of the "Ten Evils" and are punishable by death, and are often not pardoned.

Theft and robbery: Depending on the value of the stolen or robbed property and the severity of the circumstances, different degrees of punishment may be imposed, including imprisonment, exile, and even death penalty.

The crime of killing: distinguish the "six types of killing" - murder, intentional killing, fighting killing, manslaughter, negligent homicide, and killing for fun, and formulate different punishment standards according to different circumstances.

Debts and contracts: Protect the spirit of the contract, clarify the rights and obligations of debtors and creditors, and formulate corresponding punishment measures for breach of contract.

Land and Taxes: stipulate the ownership, use rights and transfer system of land, and clarify the standards, time and methods for collecting various taxes.

Business and trade: protect the legality of commercial activities, combat fraud, monopoly and other unfair competition, and stipulate commercial tax collection standards and trade rules.

Wait and see.
