Chapter 298 The Golden Law
Under the leadership of the Executive Committee, except for the continuous decline in gold and silver data due to the large amount of imported goods, all aspects of the War Committee's data were developing rapidly.

In the rapid development, the War Committee, this high-speed running machine, is gradually becoming more mature through constant updating and maintenance.

"Inferior parts" are replaced after being exposed and moved to the appropriate place, or are reworked and rebuilt and then moved to the appropriate place.

The internal structure and driving operation procedures have gradually matured and improved after countless modifications and updates.

The specific manifestation is that the number of various orders and micro-operations issued by the Executive Committee has decreased sharply, the transfer of various officials is no longer so frequent, and the War Committee has entered a relatively stable development period.

In the continuous practice, the first set of written laws completed by the War Committee also underwent a large number of additions, deletions and modifications based on practical experience.

Although this first written law was compiled in the Old Revelation period, when Roland was compiling this law, he was actually preparing for the subsequent coup to form a new force.

Therefore, when the War Council was established and absorbed the entire set of administrative agencies of the Old Qi period, it also inherited this newly completed written law.

Since it was originally prepared for the War Council, this written law, after absorbing the practical experience of the War Council's rule, can be regarded as a mature law that can be promulgated.

On July 1448, 7, the first written laws of the War Council were officially promulgated.

Since the legal provisions of the law were carved by the dwarves on gilded stone tablets, this law was named: [Golden Law].

Originally, Roland considered imitating Littorio of the Silver Empire and using mithril and silver to create stone pillars to carve written laws.

However, considering the current situation of the War Council, Roland and the Executive Committee were reluctant to waste so much mithril for a law.

Therefore, after discussion, the Executive Committee finally decided to use gold as the carrier. Moreover, it was not pure gold, but just a layer of gold plated on the outside of the stone slab to save money.

Anyway, Roland would not be like Littorio, who believed that the [Silver Law] was perfect and could become the eternal law of the Silver Empire.

[The Golden Rule] is only for use now, and will definitely need to be changed in the future, if the War Council has a future.

It will have to be changed sooner or later anyway, so why make it so good? It's a waste.

The gilded stone tablet engraved with the "Golden Law" was publicly displayed in front of the City Hall of Apocalypse. At the same time, copies of the "Golden Law" were quickly distributed to officials from all over the country.

Of course, local officials have actually already begun to govern according to the contents of the law. Otherwise, there would be no practical experience to provide for reference to the staff of the Ministry of Law, and sending this book to them could be said to be dispensable.

The main purpose is to take advantage of the opportunity to leverage the situation in the committee provinces.

Compared with the smooth running of the Central Bank Province, the Commissioner Province has relatively more troubles.

As the private territory of the border knight nobles, the situation in the Commissioner Province is much more complicated than that in the Central Province.

Although Roland could strike hard at the local factions and local forces in the central province, he could not use physical attacks on the border factions and local forces under the committee provinces, and could only deal with them slowly and through negotiation.

Although most of the top leaders of the Border Region Faction accepted the existence of the War Council and were willing to allow administrative officials to enter the committee provinces to manage and govern, the various petty nobles and retainers who depended on them often influenced or even obstructed normal governance.

Although they are just minor inconveniences, they are still a bit disgusting.

Because of the various marriage relationships between them, it was difficult to deal with them. Therefore, even with the support of the War Committee, the officials of the committee provinces still had some management difficulties.

And this [Golden Law] is used to support the officials of the commissioner provinces.

As a law accepted and passed by most members of the War Council, officials of the committee provinces also had clear regulations and punishments for small nobles and servants who influenced or even obstructed normal governance.

If they still hinder normal governance, officials will suppress these petty nobles and servants in accordance with the [Golden Law].

All I can say is that these petty nobles and servants are too ignorant. Roland has clearly retained their positions and powers in the town, but they are still not satisfied.

They even want to spy on the rural areas of the commissioner provinces where a power vacuum has emerged due to the Great Purge. They really don't know how to live or die.

The top leaders of the border faction all acquiesced, and a few small nobles and servants still wanted to object? How many soldiers do you have?

Moreover, to put it bluntly, most of the noble knights from the border areas originally had fiefs in the greenskin-occupied areas, and their current fiefs were all re-awarded to them by Locke, and they themselves do not have much control over them.

In addition, because Roland had incorporated a large number of local factions' territories into the commissioner's province with a wave of his hand, as the territory expanded, their control became weaker and it became more difficult to concentrate to fight against the administrative bureaucracy. They could only disgust the local officials with some trivial matters.

If Roland didn't want to destroy the tacit understanding and relationship with the border area members because of them, he would have taken action long ago. Why would he wait until now to use the law to restrain them?
Of course, the announcement of the law was also the final warning. If they still didn't appreciate the chance, don't blame Roland for finding reasons and excuses to kill them.

With the war council developing at a rapid pace, there would be no committee that would go against Roland for a few minor nobles, servants, and others.

Moreover, the Border Faction who were originally willing to stay in the resistance were extreme revenge-seekers. If they really cared about these things, they might as well go south to join Eleanor, who would give them money, land, and fame.

As long as Roland can bring them hope of defeating the Green Tide, they will support Roland in whatever he does.

Outside the city.

Roland was leading the academy's spellcasting students to practice various spells in the wasteland.

As students performed their spells in the wasteland, Roland watched from the sidelines and took out a pen and paper to write down his comments and analysis of each student.

As a famous professional player in his previous life, Roland has taught many fans and has rich teaching experience. Roland can get a general idea of ​​the situation of some new students with just a glance and give solutions.

After all the students had practiced it, Roland handed all the analysis and comments he had written to the college teacher nearby. After Roland left, all these analysis and comments would be distributed to the students.

Afterwards, Roland took his students to experience life and broaden their horizons.

Conventional extraordinary education can be met by relying on the teachers in the academy and self-study. What Roland needs to do is to take them to see the world and not let them stay in the academy and become useless people who know nothing.

Go to the countryside to experience country life, climb mountains, plow the land, do plastering at construction sites, and observe and learn the daily management of country officials.

Go into towns and cities, serve as a temporary patrolman, a messenger, and see the comings and goings of people in towns and cities.

Squeeze into the military camp and experience the hellish military training.

Or they could be dragged to the front line, through a deadly place, and randomly find a greenskin tribe to let the students see blood.

In short, Roland will give them a hard time.

Standing on the mountain, Roland was handling the affairs of the War Council while also paying attention to the students who were slowly climbing up the mountain from the foot of the mountain.

This time, the torture Roland brought to the Spellcaster Academy was: to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain without relying on any external objects and to use spells under a high-gravity environment and high-level pressure.

Just as the students were sweating and climbing up the mountain step by step, Roland received a report forwarded by the Executive Committee from the Commissioner Province, marked as important.

Ok?
Roland put down the government affairs in his hands, opened this important report, and glanced at it briefly.

Not long after the [Golden Law] was promulgated, the provincial committee sent a big attack to the executive committee.

In order to compete for water resources and monopolize the newly built water conservancy project, two neighboring villages had a fight involving more than 2,000 people, and some extraordinary people were involved.

Although local officials immediately sent troops to suppress the riot after receiving the news, the suppression failed due to the evil deeds of some extraordinary people.

According to statistics, more than 300 villagers died and more than 500 were seriously injured in this fight.

Dozens of local militiamen who went to quell the fight were killed by local supernatural beings, and all ten accompanying village and town administrative officials were killed.

In addition, the investigation team sent by the town officials was also intercepted and lost contact less than three days after leaving the town. All of them returned to the Fountain of Life to be resurrected.

At present, the person in charge of the area has announced that the region is under military control, and has dispatched city defense forces to control the area and block all passages.

According to the reports of officials after the resurrection of the Fountain of Life, they were suspected to be ambushed by a joint effort of local nobles and knights from the border areas.

According to the provisions of the Golden Rule, if an official is intercepted and killed, all relevant personnel must be arrested.

However, it is difficult for the person in charge of the area to grasp this degree. After all, if the investigation is really carried out, the number of people involved will definitely not be small.

Therefore, he reported to the Executive Committee and asked whether to execute a few local extraordinary people who were pushed out, stop while the going is good, or continue to dig deeper.

In response to his inquiry, the Executive Committee's opinion was: investigate thoroughly and wipe out all the families involved.

Roland looked at the opinions reached by the executive committee and nodded slightly.

It would be best if the Border Region faction could make their own decision to deal with them. However, killing them all would be too extreme. This is not the Great Purge. Besides, the [Golden Law] has been promulgated. We can't just kill them all as we did in the Great Purge. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the [Golden Law]?

Roland frowned slightly. He felt that it wouldn't be so cruel. After all, the families that stayed behind were from the border areas and were willing to fight against the Green Tide.

Even if there are some troublemakers within the family, the entire family will not be implicated. It is enough to kill those who are disobedient and causing trouble. It does not have to be so extreme.

If the whole family is implicated, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if some diligent committee member who is dedicated to fighting against the Green Tide was affected?
Roland sent the notice back to the Executive Committee and gave his own advice: everything should be done according to the [Golden Rule].

After receiving Roland's suggestion, the Executive Committee agreed with Roland's idea and sent the revised order back to the area involved.

In the area involved, town-level administrative officials were absent-mindedly handling the government affairs at hand.

He himself was speechless about such a thing happening in the area he was responsible for.

He had worked hard to climb to his current position, and he worked diligently every day, busy with various government affairs. He was only thinking about governing his own area well and didn't want to pay much attention to those local nobles.

As long as they don't interfere with his daily work, he doesn't bother to pay attention to these guys even if they disgust him occasionally.

After all, Roland promoted him to this position so that he could govern the place well.

Did these idiots take their gentleness as weakness? Do they really think I can't lift a knife? After all, I was promoted from the rural group.

Dare to cause trouble in his jurisdiction!

He had imagined that his name would appear in front of the Executive Committee and Roland, but that was because he had done a good job, not because of such a crappy thing now!
Thinking of this, the administrator exerted a little force with his right hand and broke the pen in his hand.

Damn local nobles, even if the order from above is to stop while the going is good, you will never have a peaceful life in my jurisdiction!

It depends on whether I can deal with you or not.

The administrator put the broken pen back together, fixed it with a string, and continued with his administrative work.

While he was busy, a messenger walked into the room, handed a red report to the table, and whispered.

"Commander Vonn, new orders from the Executive Council."

Feng En nodded to show that he understood.

Then the messenger quietly left the room.

After he left, Feng En immediately opened the red report. After seeing the order from the Executive Committee, Feng En's mouth corners rose slightly.

Just follow the [Golden Rule] and wait and see how I deal with you!

He put down the report, took out a piece of paper, wrote an order, and then shouted outside the door.

"A messenger."

As soon as he finished speaking, another messenger walked into the room.

"Send this letter to Misty and tell her it's time to act."

"Oh, by the way, let's go and notify the warehouse first and ask them to send someone to deliver the [Golden Law] that was delivered some time ago."

"Yes."

The messenger remembered Feng En's instructions, responded, turned around and left quickly.

After the messenger left, Feng En turned his attention back to the orders on the table.

Although it was not what he had in mind, such as the Great Purge to kill the entire family, but the [Golden Law] was still a good way to kill many people.

He needs to study the [Golden Rule] carefully and kill as many as possible.

We must not be lenient with these parasites. Keeping them around will only waste food. If a few more of them die, we can save more food.

Soon, as the [Golden Law] was brought to the table, Feng En began to read it, looking for articles one by one that could convict of murder.

And on the other side.

In the two villages where the fighting took place, the city defense army was in control of the situation. The hatred between the two sides was forcibly suppressed by the city defense army, and the water sources and water conservancy projects that were being fought over were all taken over, controlled and distributed by the city defense army.

Originally, after the construction of the water conservancy project, the water source was able to meet the water needs of the two villages. Therefore, after the city defense army took over, the farmland in the two villages was adequately irrigated and there was no problem with domestic water.

Standing next to the reservoir, Misty felt helpless as she watched the villagers queuing up obediently to apply for water.

There was clearly enough water, but the villagers were bewitched and started fighting over which village should use it first.

Just for a little water, is it that important?

They don't all rely on agriculture for their livelihood. Don't people in every village work for the committee? Don't every family have surplus food now? Why do they have to work so hard?
Moreover, even if there was no surplus food, would the committee not give them a bite to eat?

Now, look what happened. The people are gone. They didn’t die at the hands of the green-skinned orcs, but died in a fratricide.

Misty shook her head. As a half-elf, she still couldn't quite understand humans' thoughts.

Just as she was sighing, a messenger came running over on horseback from a distance. When he was less than fifty meters away from Misty, he dismounted and ran quickly to Misty.

He half-knelt in front of Misty, held up Vonn's letter with both hands, and said.

"New orders, Commander Vonn."

Misty asked as she picked up the letter, opened it and quickly scanned it.

"Did he say anything else?"

"The commander asked me to inform you that you can proceed now."

The messenger stood up and spoke in a low voice.

Misty nodded and said.

"I see."

Without hesitation, after taking one last look at the villagers in line, Misty left and took quick action.

Under her command, the city defense forces began to move.

Needless to say, the main criminal who instigated the fight in the village had already been arrested and locked up. Although the remaining accomplices were not locked up, they were all restricted and prohibited from leaving the village.

Therefore, the city defense forces mainly targeted local nobles in villages and towns.

In another village not far away from the two villages where the crime occurred.

While the villagers were working on the land, Misty arrived with a large number of city defense troops.

Having all experienced the Great Purge, the villagers were a little panicked, but were able to remain calm with the comfort of the city defense forces.

Part of the city defense force flowed to the village and quickly blocked the entire village, while Misty led the remaining city defense forces and rushed towards the nearby manor.

Although the former owner of the manor had his entire family sent to hell during the Great Purge, as a provincial commissioner, in order to appease the local nobles in the border areas, a small portion of these manors that had lost their owners were rewarded to them.

For example, the manor that Misty is standing in front of now.

Although there are still traces of the last major cleansing, they are no longer so obvious after the new owner's renovation.

After seeing Misty leading the city defense forces coming aggressively, the guard at the door chose to surrender very smoothly.
