The biggest feature of the Daxia Code is that it clearly clarifies rights and obligations, eliminating most ambiguities. In addition, it also has a very clear legislative spirit, which provides a good way out for conflicts between legal principles and human relations.
As for the coverage area, in the current era, everything that a Nese person can think of or cannot think of is contained in the Daxia Code. After all, Xia Duo comes from a modern society with extremely rich laws.
Not to mention grammar, Xia Duo adopted a more mature modern legal grammar. Even ordinary people holding the code can make judgments that are beyond the professionalism of the current era.
So far, there are at least several thousand mainlanders who have been to the Bactria Territory. According to the statistics of the security guards in the square under Gibb, no one has ever said anything bad about the Bactria Code.
Of course, it would not be wrong to say that Daxia collar treats ordinary people too favorably.
As for those who have the ability to go to Daxia Territory, let alone those who go there in person, even those who go through the portal of Azure Manor are mostly rich or noble, and there are not a few spellcasters.
It is impossible for these people to deliberately praise the code because of the presence of security guards. Even if Shado is a great arcanist and speaks restraint, it is impossible for everyone to restrain themselves, because many of those who come to visit belong to the Seven Towers, so there is no need at all. Curry favor with a distant Grand Arcanist Lord.
Therefore, Xia Duo is more inclined to believe that those evaluations are true. In addition, the Bactrian Codex is also well received in Severington and other inland territories.
Of course, it's still the same sentence. Xia Duo selectively filtered out those comments that Daxia Ling treated ordinary people too favorably.
Because in the current Netheril, those who have the ability to speak out and are qualified to speak out are either spellcasters, businessmen, or adventurers. They are not ordinary people in the current era.
If everyone in Netheril were asked to evaluate it, Shado would not believe that the absolute majority of ordinary people would not support the Great Xia Code. Even most low-level spellcasters, merchants, and adventurers would choose to support it.
Only those few in power who cannot obtain privileges beyond ordinary people from the Bactria Code will oppose the Bactria Code, but even if they object, they cannot say anything bad about the code itself.
They object because of their stance, and praise because they express their truest thoughts without scruples. This is actually the most extreme manifestation of their power - you are right, but there is nothing you can do to me.
In a sense, this has the same meaning as praising the enemy, a different kind of arrogance and showoff - you are strong, but didn't you still fail to defeat me?
But at the same time, this is also the most real current situation in Netheril. Even Shado has difficulty in promoting the Bactrian Code to places outside the territory. He can only influence and change it bit by bit through methods similar to radiation.
…
In the lounge.
Congenio continued to flip through the Daxia Codex, while Xia Duo read for a while. There was nothing else to do except occasionally add some tea, but he still waited patiently.
I don't know how much time passed. Congenio closed the code book, turned to look at Xia Duo, and said gently, "Are you tired of waiting?"
"No, I was not idle when the master was reading, I just didn't show it in my movements."
In fact, Xia Duo is always in the background of spell design. With the help of his intelligent brain, he can maintain a certain working state no matter what the situation is.
"That's good. You young people's time is more precious. It's not worth wasting it on me."
Congenio placed the closed code on the table between the two of them, but did not take his hand away. Instead, he pressed the cover of the code and said with emotion:
"This code is beyond my imagination. It feels like it doesn't belong to this era!"
Xia Duo smiled slightly when he heard this. If it was in the past, he might have been nervous about it, but now he is completely calm, "I have made reference to some laws in my hometown for this code, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
"If it does not adapt to the development of the territory in the future, it can be revised or revised at that time. Just like the current Severnton Covenant, it will naturally need to be changed if it is out of date."
Chateau once again brought up the topic of rebuilding the Seventon Covenant, but Congenio still did not give a direct answer, "How to change a law that has been in effect for decades or even hundreds of years? What is the resistance? Can you imagine that?”
"The Daxia Code does not have an eternal ruling class. The people themselves can also initiate amendments or amendments to the law. I believe that as long as we persist in cultivating the people's legal awareness, there will not be much resistance to change."
At this point, Xia Duo changed the topic and mentioned the Sevington Covenant again, "But the Sevington Covenant is different. The terms in it are vague, but it gives the Seven Towers a unique ruling status. This is everything. The crux of the problem is also the source of resistance, but if there is resistance, can we not do it? Wait until the day when the conflict completely breaks out?"
In front of Congenio, there was no need for Chateau to pretend to be sophisticated, he should show the edge of a young man, and he was indeed a young man who was too young to be young.
Even if calculated based on the ratio of age and lifespan, there would be no problem for him to say that he was a baby.
This time, Congenio was finally moved and gave a positive reply for the first time, "Xia Duo, I seem to understand your insistence on the law. At the same time, I also believe that it is necessary to rebuild the Seventon Covenant, but my bottom line is There can be no civil war!"
Xia Duo was shocked, as if he thought of something, and quickly stopped the floating city that was flying to the north. He did bring the floating city over to deter him, but it could also easily intensify conflicts.
It is necessary to maintain restraint before the Seven Towers completely slide to the reactionary side. Even if the Seven Towers completely slide to the opposition, it is still necessary to maintain restraint.
"Master, I understand what you mean. Avoiding civil war is also my bottom line!"
Then, Shado talked about what he had seen in Imaskar before, where civil wars were frequent. In contrast, although the lords of Netheril had conflicts from time to time, there were still very few who actually broke up and started a full-scale war. Few, almost none.
But that was the past. It’s hard to say what will happen in the future. It seems that we have reached the turning point of civil war.
When Xia Duo made a prophecy not long ago, he saw the scene of the battle in the floating city. That was the last thing he wanted to see. No matter what the cause was, the war would have a very bad impact on development.
Regarding the Imaska mentioned by Chateau, Congenio said:
"I have also been to the Puppet Country. It is said that they originated from the nomads on the grassland. Civil war is almost their tradition. Netheril is okay, but the power will make people's hearts swell. If it were not for the Seventon Covenant, existence, I dare say that Netheril in the past was not much better. So——"
Speaking of this, Congenio once again made his attitude clear, "Whether it is connecting the planes or rebuilding the Sevington Covenant, it must be carried out on the premise of maintaining the framework of the Sevington Covenant and avoiding all possibilities of civil war."
"Yes, I understand."
Chateau understands that Congenio supports him, but as he gets older, he has more worries. This cannot be said to be Congenio's problem. It can only be said that real politics is still the art of compromise after all.
