Chapter 110
Dany's "Declaration to the People of Ghis" is not a lie, she really intends to use the redemption method to obtain the property and food in the manor.
"Hey, Tom, look, Unsullied is putting up a notice again. Let's go over there and see what's written on it."
Before the Freedomsguard Monument was erected, Dany told the craftsman A low wall has been built around the Plaza of the People to serve as Astapor's BBS bulletin board.
If Dany has any decree released, in addition to posting notices on bulletin boards and streets and alleys, Unsullied will also ask Unsullied to carry the gong to distract every corner of the city, while beating the gong to attract the attention of the public, while reciting Dany's words aloud. instruction.
It is not just recited once, but like a repeater, it is recited repeatedly, and if citizens come forward to ask, they will explain a certain decree in detail.
Well, in fact, 99% of Unsullied are illiterate. For the sake of "classing".
Dany directed the scholars, the scholars conveyed the "Sacred Will" to Unsullied, and Unsullied went to the streets to let the whole city understand Queen Dany's instructions.
In the beginning, Dany had the idea of having scholars stand under the notices as commentators.
Like the plot in a costume drama, every city gate has an arrest warrant, and there must be an old show under the arrest warrant to be proud of the words.
While the old scholar was explaining the text, the illiterate crowd around him echoed with "Oh, ah, ah".
It's a pity that those scholars are pretentious and unwilling to do it.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the villain wants to go against your will, but King will not use Yin porcelain as a chamber pot. When the Lord Good Masters bought the villain, he spent a full 1888 Gold Honor!
The villain is proficient in history, literature, poetry, musical instrument performance and other knowledge. At the age of 25, he obtained the certificate of high-level scholar in the Volantis library, so he can't be confused with street performers!"
That's what Ethan cried to Dany at the time.
Then Dany asked Jorah: Westeros Ser's ransom is generally 100Golden Dragon?
(about 300 Gold Honors)
Jorah ugly complexion nodded.
......
"Daenerys' Legal Code Volume 1", preface... I am Daenerys Targaryen, I set up this legal code, let the light of justice Shine the earth and destroy all sin and evil, so that the powerhouse cannot oppress the weak." Free scholar Tom said aloud, word by word.
"It turned out to be the legal code." Thin Monkey Acrobat said disappointedly.
"Jerry, you don't understand, the legal code is the foundation of rule, the pillar of the country, now I'm relieved." Scholar Tom said with a big laugh.
"Don't worry?" Thin Monkey wondered.
"I was worried that Queen Your Majesty would leave with Unsullied after liberating Astapor. After all, she's going back to Westeros to restore Targaryen Dynasty. If that happens, we'll be in trouble."
"What does the legal code have to do with her being inseparable?" acrobat still doesn't quite understand.
The free scholar shook his head, pointed in the direction of the Great Pyramid with excitement, and said with emotion: "Queen Daenerys is more wise and fearless than I imagined.
She really wants to change world, also has the ability to change the old world of decay.
Not as I feared before, liberating the slave is just a momentary little girl's sympathy attack."
"Hey, Mr. Scholar, Don't sigh, hurry up and tell us what's written on the notice." The illiterate citizen next to him stomped his feet impatiently.
"Oh, let me see..." The free scholar turned his eyes to the notice wall again, and said aloud: "1. Under Gods, people in the world have different identities, but they are all born free. , enslaving others is the first original sin, and must be cursed by Spiritual God and True Dragon."
"Okay! Well said, we are born free, slave-master should Hell"
"Long live Mother of Dragons, long live Queen Daenerys!"
"Mhysa, Mhysa!"
...
legal code number one After the recitation, the surrounding New Free Folks applauded loudly.
The scholar, frowned slightly, found that the law did not specify the penalties for slave traffickers.
If Gods' curse works, will Astapor survive for six thousand years?
It might be better to say "you will be punished by the dragon's breath".
What he didn't know was that Dany also had good intentions.
"Legal Code Volume 1" just tells the world what can be done and what can't be done. The writing is relatively simple and popular, so as to increase the circulation and acceptance of legal code.
The first article is too detailed, illiterate citizens look tired, 80% still can't remember, and also ignore the equally important legal code clause below.
It is better to change "Daenerys' Legal Code Volume 1" into the customs and traditions of "it is known". When the sentence is actually sentenced, there is a "Dany Legal Code Volume 2" for detailed explanation.
Well, there will definitely be Daenerys' Legal Code Volume 2, which is for professionals, like judges and lawyers.
Well, even the most civilized Westeros has no judges and lawyers. Dany has raised the civilization of this world a lot this time!
"2. Injuring innocent people's lives is a serious crime, and must be punished equally, especially those who kill young children and infants; 3. Citizens' legal property is sacred and inviolable, and King cannot ask for taxes from his subjects 4. The unbelievers will be spurned by Gods, and the written contract and the oral agreement with witnesses are protected by King and dragon; "Epoch-making", perhaps all ethnic groups have similar traditions, but no clear legal text has been formed.
Starting from Article 5, the content of "Dany legal code" has become popular in ancient and modern times, and of course it is more in line with this era and this world.
Detailed regulations are made on criminal, civil, trade, marriage, inheritance, trial, servitude, and household registration systems.
By the way, hukou is also a new thing.
Although Dany has been talking about learning the Manchurian system, and he has also come up with the Moon Gate hairstyle and the Eight Banners Army system, in fact, it can be seen from the laws she formulated that the Astapor "kingdom" she created, Its core is more like the Han Dynasty - the Qing Dynasty also followed the Ming system.
Especially from the household registration and servitude system, an alternative concept of county system can be extended.
Of course, she won't really get the Han Dynasty out.
Any dynasty in China, no matter how strong or weak, was born to move closer to strengthening centralization.
A dynasty with a high degree of centralization is doomed to not live long.
The very simple reason is that the power of the state is concentrated in the hands of the emperor, and the probability of appearing a foolish and mediocrity is much higher than that of a wise monarch.
In particular, House Targaryen has the "Mad King" gene. If all Targaryen Mad Kings were born in the Celestial Dynasty, according to their habit of seeking death, it is estimated that even 50 years of the country cannot be maintained.
"dong dong dong..." There was a sudden burst of drumming from the direction of Plaza of the People, as if a dull thunder fell in the hearts of everyone.
"The Queen is summoning us." The Free Scholar shouted, and quickly squeezed towards the Great Pyramid.
Many personal experiences told him that he was too far away from the Queen, and he couldn't hear or see anything except shouting "Long Live Queen" with the crowd.
Skinny Monkey is also very shrewd and moves faster than him.
Well, if you get closer, you can't see Queen Dany on the stone steps.
"Long live Mother of Dragons, long live Queen Daenerys!" Scholar Tom was moved to tears when he saw Queen so clearly for the first time.
Dany is standing on the Level 2 steps, about 7 meters above the square, with Green Graces and Ser Chainbreaker on her left, and Whitebeard and Aggo on her right.
"Slave-master!" The skinny monkey exclaimed, pointing to the Level 3 steps.
The free scholar was stunned and looked up. Sure enough, on the steps above the Queen stood nearly a hundred Ghis people wearing Tokar robes, including a young Maiden, a woman wearing a silk scarf, and a few others. The old child is held in the arms of the woman.
"Do you want to judge the children of Good Masters?" As soon as the free scholar finished speaking, he said with a smile: "If you are a sinner, how can you stand above the Queen?"
" Woo-" I saw the Queen take a step forward and blew in the mouth of a bright black horn fixed on a wooden frame. The desolate and low voice made everyone in the square sank for a moment.
Suddenly, the square of tens of thousands of people was silent, only the gasping sound of oneself could be heard.
"You have read the "legal code", Article 2, hurting innocent lives is a major crime, and killing young children and infants is the most serious crime.
What is an innocent person? ?
Without a public and fair trial, only Spiritual God knows whether he is guilty or not, but ignorant young children and infants are bound to be innocent.
It is a great sin to harm the life of innocent people. The sin is unforgivable!"
The free scholar praised "Queen's wise, Queen's kindness" in his heart, and at the same time wondered: What did the Queen want to say?
Until she pointed at the big slave-master clan on the Level 3 steps above, "their father and brother sold slaves, and regarded the slave's life as nothing, with blood on his hands, and deserved the death penalty."
"Death crime, capital crime!" The people below were angry and shouted loudly.
The Ghis aristocrats above experienced this kind of "criticism" from the people for the first time.
Whether they have repented of their sinful slave-master lives, no one knows, but they must understand one thing deeply at this moment: the small world they live in has changed.
Seeing the Queen's right hand pressing down, the free scholar, like the others, immediately stopped shouting, stared at her and continued to speak.
"A person can decide oneself's future and can make changes at this moment, but he can't choose oneself's origin. Yes, most of them are descendants of evil slave-masters, but they have no choice , they are still young and their hands are not yet stained with blood."
"They are innocent, they don't deserve to die, but now many innocents have died, at the hands of the uprising Freedomsguard."
"Oh, you're not going to kill the donkey, are you?" The freelance scholar was shocked and had a very bad guess.
"What?" The skinny monkey was confused and sighed: "I think what Queen Your Majesty said is very reasonable, I didn't expect it before, and only after Your Majesty's advice did I find out that there is a man I really can't choose oneself's origin, and I don't want to be a slave!"
Free scholar: If you could choose, would you be reincarnated as a sinful slave-master?
Well, that's not the point, Queen's words seem to be paving the way for the following actions!
