Xin Shige would like to say that he has never drank wine, but this is obviously impossible. Whether for entertainment or to relax, wine is always a necessity.

Not only did he drink alcohol, but he also drank fine wine and hard alcohol.

With eleven pairs of eyes, he nodded a little awkwardly.

"It's nothing embarrassing, Mr. Xin Shige." Du Lin took the initiative to relieve him. "It is well known that wine and water are indispensable things in people's daily life, so we do not need to be embarrassed or embarrassed for these things. I Note one thing, the Prohibition Act originally came from the church. "

"I checked some information. It is said that the church banned alcohol because it can make people lose their emotional control and self-control. Therefore, the pope at that time believed that the alcohol was derived from the drink of the devil. The power of the devil will build up, and eventually the demon will come and attach to these drinkers, and manipulate their bodies to do things that are not their original intention. "

"Look, gentlemen, I don't want to question whether certain things in the Theocratic Law are correct, and there is evidence, but is it a bit too taken for granted to move some of the laws and regulations completely from the Theocratic Law?", Du Lin smiled and said, "After all, we don't have Peter III!"

When he mentioned this Peter III, the residents, including the four emperors, laughed. This is a very famous story, a story used to mock the church. In the early days of the struggle between imperial power and theocracy, the imperialists did not know where to find it, and then spread it as a weapon against the strict authority of God. Some things, even if they do n’t need to be deliberately transmitted or inherited, can never be worn for generations. Such things are called “classic”.

Peter III was a young pope during the period of government [jia0] unity. He was in power only seven years before he was stepped down. It is said that nine comets crossed the sky when he was born. He did not talk before the age of six, but on the first day after the age of six, he said something earth-shattering. He called out the Holy Pope in ancient times. Name taboo-Rossi.

Since then he has been cultivated as the next generation of Pope until he ascended the throne and became the supreme master of the entire Western world. If the naughty Lady of Destiny hadn't joked with him, maybe his statue would still stand in the cathedral of Sunrise City. Unfortunately, Ms. Destiny did not like him.

After a grand ceremony, people need to ask Peter III, who had met Rossi, to say something for everyone. Yes, it is so legendary. Many people believe that Peter III had seen the Holy Pope himself. People searched for Peter III everywhere, and finally found this guy in the group temple. At that time, he only wore a teaching robe and pressed his bare **** on a maid.

This incident is a shame to the entire church. It was done in the presence of all the popes and deities' sculptures. It was also discovered that if Peter III was not burned to death, the majesty of the church would drop to freezing point.

At this very crucial time, a cardinal came forward and he "saved" Peter III. He said that Peter III was possessed by demons, so he did such a beast thing. He was not blaspheming the first saint, but It was tempted by the devil to fall.

Peter III, who knew he had escaped, suddenly became even more foolish and foolishly pissed. People subdued him and tied him up. After a day, he was awake. People asked him why he did that kind of thing, he told everyone that he just drank a lot of alcohol, and in the end he lost some control over himself, and there was another will controlling his body, and he did Blasphemy.

Then the cardinal who saved him made him "grill" on the fire, not to burn, but to grill, and said that the devil's breath remained in his body, and the next time the devil would find it again He, and control him. Only the sacred flame could clear the breath, so he was placed a little higher above the fire, that is, when people cooked bacon for about ten minutes.

His body hair, including his skin, was smoky, and a stream of black smoke rose from him. He didn't even have the strength to shout and died.

At this time, the cardinal, that is, the next Pope Ryan I, told you that the black smoke is the devil's breath. Peter III has been rescued. People put Peter III down, and his skin shrunk and cracked everywhere. , Showing the slightly white and slightly cooked muscles inside.

In this way, Peter III actually survived and became the first "faceless" in the church. As for his future, that is another story.

After that, the church issued a ban on alcohol, declaring that wine is a demon's drink, and no one is allowed to make wine without permission, and to transport and sell it. Whenever they are caught by the church, they will be labeled as demon waiters and then purified in the fire.

This is the origin of the church ’s prohibition, but in fact, the reason the prohibition was announced in the early days of the empire was not that they had or did not have Peter III, but that the full-scale war was just over at that time, and it was affected by the fire in many places. Many farmers and crops were burned by the fire. There is a severe lack of food throughout the empire. In such an environment, the empire issued the first prohibition order, which is to stop using food that can save human lives to make wine and make fun for a few people.

As people say, sometimes the truth is not what you want. Compared to this interesting story of Peter III, how can the great star empire actually starve to death? How can you say that?

Therefore, under the impetus of the prime minister at that time, the ban on alcohol promulgated by the empire put on the name of the church, and the empire flourished and lived in peace and contentment.

At this time Du Lin mentioned Peter III, Xin Shige was finally not so awkward, but he still asked: "Mr Du Lin, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Du Lin smiled and continued: "If we locate a necessity in our life as a contraband, then we will never be able to completely isolate this thing from people's lives. It's like we need to breathe air Does it make sense to target air in contraband? "

"Whether the empire issues a second alcohol ban, a third alcohol ban or even more stringent alcohol bans, I dare say that it is impossible to stop the circulation and trafficking of wine because people need it."

"Excessive suppression of people's nature can only have the opposite effect. Even in the imperial capital, there are many bars and points of sale that illegally sell high alcohol, and this is the trend."

"The trend is irresistible. I can not be the umbrella of smugglers, so that they can avoid paying a large amount of tax for them, and the empire will not break without the tens of millions of taxes this year. , But it won't get better. People should buy when they should, and they should be smuggling at all times when they should be smuggled, so what have we got and what have we lost? "

"We got a law like a fake, lost a huge income, and we indulged a group of illegal elements in wanton activities around us, which caused great security risks."

"Gentlemen, regarding Mr. Xin Shige's claim that I am an umbrella, I hope that I am a 'crime manager'. Within a limited space, under the condition of management and control, the law and order will be the best Well, to minimize the crime rate, and then allow them to make a little money, we make a little money, and people can get the living supplies they want and need, and this is my explanation. "

In constant answering, Du Lin made the hearing less serious than he imagined with a variety of interesting points or serious, or humorous ways. He needs to thank Kevin for his dedication to this end. If he hadn't helped him organize the materials and write these defenses for himself, the atmosphere might not have been so harmonious.

As time passed by bit by bit, the last question was given to the citizens of the four imperial capitals, who sent a young man to ask the relevant questions.

The young man was very polite. He asked first and introduced himself, and then asked a somewhat sharp question.

"Mr. Du Lin, your reply is very wonderful. I find that I like some officials like you. You are not the same as those who just talk and do nothing. I have a small question here. I hope you can help I answer. "

Du Lin nodded and said: "Please."

The young man smiled again, "I found that you have always linked the core issue of this hearing with the economy. Do you think that as long as it can create sufficient economic benefits, even if the behavior violates the law, it is acceptable?"

This question is not easy to answer ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ because he answered that his image and evaluation would have a terrible impact, because it violates universal values ​​and moral values. But if he does not answer, then a large part of his previous defenses will be rejected by himself.

Du Lin looked at the young man, and the young man looked at him with a smile. He didn't seem to feel that he had asked a very difficult question at all.

Fortunately, Du Lin has information about another world as his background. He pondered for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and asked a question, a shameless and invincible question. "If a person attempts to create a terrorist attack and destroy Emperor ’s station, but he has not implemented it. Killing no crimes now can save thousands of lives, but he is still innocent. If it is you, you choose to kill him now to save thousands. Or do you dispose of him after he kills them? "

The smile on the young man's face instantly solidified. Before he answered, Du Lin gave his answer.
