The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 56: Laws of the City of Wealth

When the queen saw that the nurse had been found, she said to her daughter in a flattering tone, "Xuan'er, you have to attend court every day to handle government affairs, so you probably don't have time to take care of my dear grandson."

"Otherwise, Zixu, let your mother take care of you."

Zixuan smiled softly: "Okay, Xuan'er would love it. As long as you are not afraid of being tired, even if it means letting Zixu live with you, it is all fine."

"Very good, Xuan'er's words are exactly what the Queen Mother wants."

After saying that, she happily took the elevator to the dormitory on the second floor with her two wet nurses.

When Zixuan saw that everyone in the room had left, his mood gradually calmed down.

She sat down gently on the sofa, savoring the tea in the cup and slowly thinking about her next plan.

Now that my son has been found, the matter that has always been bothering me has finally been resolved.

The overall construction of Fugui City is already more than halfway through, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another year.

It is time to re-enact laws and regulations.

Thinking of this, she entered the villa in the space again and summoned Boss Ji, Qi Jiu and an ancient Chinese character expert.

So, several people sat on the sofa and carefully studied the various rules and regulations of Fugui City's laws and regulations.

The ancient Chinese expert used a carbon pen to quickly record each clause.

Time passed quickly and before I knew it it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

The various laws and regulations drafted by several people were finally completed.

Zixuan looked at the thick stack of information on the table and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, she said to the machine boss, "Old Machine, you should arrange for someone to print out all these documents and bind them into volumes. I will need them tomorrow."

After a few people left, she stretched herself, washed up, and went to bed to rest.

The next morning at court, Zixuan sat upright in the main hall, waiting for everyone to finish paying their respects and bowing.

She smiled and asked, "My dear ministers, are you satisfied with your new residence?"

When the ministers heard Zixuan's question, they all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "We are very satisfied. Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Stand up, my dear ministers, as long as you are satisfied."

At this time, a minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, after I moved into the new palace yesterday, my wife and concubines were so happy that they forgot everything else."

"They all praised the king as a wise and benevolent ruler. They all said that I had done a good job as an official, allowing them to truly enjoy wealth and glory."

"To reward me, my wife and eight concubines stayed in my bedroom last night."

"I couldn't sleep all night, and I still don't have any energy."

After saying that, he yawned loudly again.

After hearing this, the court officials immediately burst into laughter. Zixuan was speechless. He was really impressed by the fact that he brought such a thing to the court.

Seeing that the ministers were in a good mood, she did not want to spoil their fun and did not blame them.

At this moment, she inadvertently saw a thin old minister who was covering his face with his hands and dared not look her in the eye.

Zixuan took a closer look and saw that his face was covered with scratches.

She was very curious, so she asked with concern, "Deputy Governor Liu, how did your face get hurt?"

When Liu Qing, the Deputy Provincial Governor of the Ministry of Personnel, heard the king ask him, he quickly came out and replied, "Your Majesty, regarding my face, well, well, I'm really embarrassed to say it."

Seeing Liu Qing hesitant and unwilling to speak, the ministers joked with her, "Lord Liu, it's not because you have a concubine or went to Yingchun Courtyard again."

"Your face got scratched because your sister-in-law caught you red-handed, haha."

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.

Liu Qing blushed with shame and hurriedly waved her hands to explain, "It's not like that, it's not like that."

"I am an upright man and I am loyal to my wife. How could I do such a dirty thing?"

Then, she bowed to Zixuan with a look of grievance on her face and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to lose face anymore. I will just embarrass myself today."

"The thing is, yesterday after I moved into my new residence, my son noticed that my house was better than theirs."

"So I moved here with my wife and grandson, planning to live with you."

"Because of the new environment, my grandson was curious and playful, and he didn't eat for half a day."

"My daughter-in-law was afraid he would starve, so she coaxed him to eat. But the child was like a weight, and he was determined not to drink."

"So the old minister threatened him, 'Grandson, hurry up and drink your milk. If you don't, I will eat up both of your mother's milk and leave none for you.'"

"After hearing this, my daughter-in-law got angry and called me an old pervert and a lecher."

"She went to her own room and tried to commit suicide. When her son heard about it, he ran to his mother and complained about me."

"I didn't expect that my gentle and virtuous wife would become a completely different person and start arguing with me like a lion roaring in the east."

"I felt wronged, so I argued with her. I didn't expect she would actually dare to hit me."

"Look, my old face has been made into this state by her."

"Your Majesty, this is nonsense. I just said it as a joke, but it has caused such trouble. I feel wronged and wronged."

After hearing this, all the ministers laughed again. While laughing, they also teased him: "Master Liu, you want to eat your daughter-in-law's milk, and your old face is not scratched, haha."

At this moment, Zixuan couldn't help but almost burst out laughing.

She pretended to hold her forehead with her hand, and secretly laughed under the cover of her robe sleeves.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she felt. Her slender figure trembled and her shoulders shrugged.

While I was laughing, I was thinking: These ministers are quite interesting.

It seems that they are not as rigid as they appear, and there is another side behind each of them. Haha, it's really funny.

After laughing for a while, Zixuan coughed lightly and said seriously, "My dear ministers, you have laughed enough, you have laughed enough, you have made enough noises, now let's start discussing government affairs."

"I have drafted a new set of laws for Fugui City. Now, let the eunuch read it to everyone."

After saying that, he glanced at the eunuch next to him.

The eunuch understood, picked up the law book from the desk, and began to read it.

"The first article of the Fugui City Law, the Law of Loyalty to the Emperor and Patriotism, states that all residents registered in Fugui City must be loyal to the emperor and patriotic."

"You are not allowed to casually damage the city flag, insult, distort, or slander the city lord. Anyone who violates the above will have their property confiscated and be exiled."

"Second rule: no secret dealings with foreign countries, no treason, no surrendering to the enemy, and no rebellion or subversion of the imperial court."

"Anyone who violates the above will be sentenced to beheading, confiscation of property, and extermination of three generations of the clan."

"Fugui City Law, Confidentiality Law: Article 1: All residents of Fugui City, regardless of whether they have a household registration or not, must strictly observe the city's secrets."

"No one is allowed to spread the news of the special weapons in the city outside the city."

"The blueprints and mechanisms of the Royal Palace and various important military and civilian facilities within the city are not allowed to be leaked outside the city."

Anyone who violates the above will be sentenced to death by quartering, confiscation of property, and exile of their family members.

Article 2: It is forbidden to take firearms, electronic products, or other items prohibited by the imperial court out of the city. If you violate this rule, your property will be confiscated and you will be exiled.

"The laws of Fugui City are the laws of the land; all the land, mountains, and rivers within the walls of Fugui City."

"Trees, houses, minerals, and various resources are all public property and belong to the imperial court."

Anyone who illegally mines, cuts down trees, or seizes houses and land will be sentenced to 20 years of hard labor and their property will be confiscated.

Fugui City Law, Labor Law: All residents working in Fugui City, regardless of whether they have a household registration or not.

"The monthly salary for each person shall not be less than thirty taels, unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties."

"Monthly salaries must not be withheld or delayed, workers must not be forced to work overtime, and vacations must not be withheld."

"Those who suffer work-related injuries must receive prompt medical treatment and compensation as appropriate."

Anyone who violates the above will be dismissed from office, fined 1,000 taels of silver, and sentenced to three years of hard labor. They will never be employed in the government again.
