After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 272: Means of controlling the people? Increased supervision!

【The county magistrate roars.】

[The scene suddenly became quiet.]

[The believers' faces were full of confusion.]

[The Taoist priest was delighted.]

【because.】

【They are not afraid of the county magistrate's rebuke! 】

[They are just afraid that the county magistrate won’t speak! ]

【“As long as he speaks out.”】

"If only he would talk to us."

[“Then we…”]

[“We will definitely be able to turn this situation around!”]

[These Taoists thought in their hearts.]

[Of course they did not miss this opportunity. ]

[They directly refuted the county magistrate's words.]

[“Have I committed a crime?”]

[“We are just reciting Taoist scriptures here.”]

[“It did not disturb the lives of the people, nor did it interfere with the operation of the court.”]

[“What kind of law is this?!”]

[The leading Taoist priest said with a righteous look on his face.]

[He had read the religious law, which allowed Taoist priests to gather together to discuss Taoist texts. This was a small right given to them by the court.]

[But the county magistrate snorted coldly, and under the curious gaze of the people, he said: "The law stipulates that any gathering of more than five people must be approved by the government, and the religious law also has provisions. Gathering to discuss Taoism is naturally allowed, but the prerequisite is that it must be approved by the government!"]

[Without the court's permission, a large group of people were gathered.]

[So are we discussing the text or something else?]

[I don’t dare to think about this anymore! ]

[The Taoist priest, who thought he had won the game, was completely stunned after hearing what the county magistrate said.]

[They gather to discuss Dao texts, but they actually need the court's permission? ]

【“A large gathering.”】

[“Do we have to report it?”]

[“But isn’t it common for people to gather together?”]

[“Why haven’t I seen the government enforce this law before?”]

[The Taoist priest suddenly looked at the county magistrate.]

[The county magistrate's face was very calm.]

【Suddenly.】

【The Taoist understood.】

“There are some laws.”

[“It seems to go against people’s common sense.”]

【"but."】

【“At some point.”】

[“It is the best way to control the people!”]

……

Outside the Golden Palace.

Looking at the deduced future scene.

Many officials had expressions of surprise on their faces.

"did not expect."

"In the Yu Kingdom."

“There is such a law.”

"And it looks like... it seems to be quite useful?!"

The deadlock that was thought to be unsolvable was resolved by such a law.

Not to mention them, even Prime Minister Wang Qianhe, who believed in Chen Huaixin, felt a little surprised.

If I have to say it, it should be that Chen Huaixin had the foresight to formulate this law in advance, which was slightly different from the common sense of the people, so it was so useful.

"but."

"Chen Huaixin."

"The purpose for which He established this law."

"It is definitely not to dig a hole for the people of Yu Country!"

"Gathering in large numbers... that could easily lead to accidents!"

Wang Qianhe only needed to think about it for a moment before he understood the true purpose of this law.

If too many people gather together, something unexpected is likely to happen.

"even."

"Probably."

"Someone will die because of this!" Wang Qianhe understood that reporting to the government was to obtain assistance from the court.

Just like at rallies held every once in a while, there will be government officials responsible for maintaining order!

And if the government does not get involved, no one can guarantee whether it will eventually turn into chaos!
"only."

"This kind of law."

“It is very likely to be exploited by certain officials.”

"To achieve one's own, ulterior motives."

"Chen Huaixin..."

"Is he prepared for this?!"

Wang Qianhe knew the purpose of this law and could also see the risks hidden behind it.

If it was in their Cheng country, he would definitely not be able to solve this problem, but if it was in Yu country, Chen Huaixin would definitely have thought about how to deal with it, right? !
Think of this.

He looked up at the sky with anticipation.

The deduction of the future continues.

……

[After the Taoists who were meditating were imprisoned in the county jail. ]

[The commotion that was caused was naturally extremely sensational.]

【Whether it is the common people. 】

[It’s still those businessmen.]

【They are all worried about the impact this incident will have on them. 】

[They are all worried about what this incident will do to their lives.]

【As for Taoism. 】

【The Taoist temple master’s funeral has not yet been held.】

【Such a big thing happened suddenly. 】

[Those Taoists who had not participated in this incident suddenly felt a wave of fear.]

[They even began to wonder if the imperial court was planning to take action against Taoism! ]

【And this is the beginning! 】

[“No! No! Taoism has the merit of founding the country. Your Majesty will not do this!”]

[“But now, the soldiers have arrested many of our brothers. Isn’t this a warning?”]

[“But doesn’t that mean that these brothers violated the law and religious law, so they were imprisoned by the government!”]

[“Violating the law, the religious law? Haha! Not allowing large gatherings of people, what kind of law is this! This is clearly targeting Taoism!”]

[“No matter what, everyone, be careful. Although Taoism is the state religion, no one can tell how long this country can exist!”]

【“…”】

[The Taoists were in a panic.]

【And in the court. 】

[Seeing that the Taoist appeal was temporarily suppressed after being arrested by the county magistrate, the officials did not feel particularly excited.]

【"because."】

【“Among them.”】

[“The problems exposed.”]

[“It’s not that easy to solve!”]

[When the ministers thought that the law of gathering to report might be used by some people, they felt a headache.]

[After all, in today's world, gatherings of more than five people are very common, especially for rural people. They basically travel together when going to the county town or returning to the countryside.]

【And in the law.】

[This is also considered a gathering! ]

[“Though the law requires.”]

【“The definition of gathering.”】

“It’s not just about the number of people, it’s also about what they’re going to do.”

[“We must consider all factors comprehensively to determine whether it is a crime of gathering a crowd.”]

[“But… there is a lot of room for maneuver!”]

[Even the most insignificant officials can think of a hundred ways to make this charge work in their favor.]

[Although it is possible to amend the law immediately, we cannot amend a law every time a law is exposed, right? Not to mention that this law on gathering in a crowd also has a positive effect! ]

"Modify it."

[“You’re just avoiding the problem!”]

[The ministers were helpless.]

【Chen Huaixin felt that it was not that troublesome.】

【"only."】

【“That may be the case.”】

“A special agency needs to be set up.”

【“To increase supervision of officials at all levels.”】
