Chapter 60 Chu Law

  Ye Muyu nodded and agreed: "If that's the case, then you can recite it, mother is here with you."

   Ye Muyu's current task is to teach him to read and recite. As for the content, it doesn't have to be the Four Books and Five Classics.

   After finding something for Chu Jin to do, Ye Muyu looked at Chu Ziluo.

  Chu Ziluo also had envy in his eyes, Ye Muyu thought for a while, and asked: "Ziluo, mother doesn't know many characters, how about I teach you according to the surnames of a hundred families?"

   "Mother, yes, I am willing." Chu Ziluo quickly agreed, fearing that Ye Muyu would regret it.

  Ye Muyu sat down and first taught Chu Ziluo the first four characters of her family name.

   "Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li."

   "These four surnames, think about it, who in our village has this surname."

   Xingshui Village is a big village. Besides the Chu family, other families are also very prosperous.

  As soon as Ye Muyu asked this question, Chu Ziluo snapped her fingers and said, "Sister Wu's mother's surname is Zhao, so that's what Zhao wrote in Aunt Zhao..."

  Ye Muyu directly asked her to talk to the familiar people around her, and then it would be easier to learn words.

   Waiting to see that the two children have gone to school.

  She just remembered, wondering if there is a reference book similar to Xinhua Dictionary in this world, if there is, buy it back, it will be much easier for the two children to learn to read.

  She thought about it, and it seemed that the first dictionary in ancient times was called "Shuowen Jiezi". Since it was handed down from the Eastern Han Dynasty, there must have been a dynasty named Dachu.

  Ye Muyu felt relieved, reached out from the bookshelf, and took out the "Great Chu Law" that he had been thinking about for a long time.

   Very thick, as thick as three bricks.

   Opening it is some eloquent writing to the effect that the law must be obeyed, and the warning to beheaded if the law is ignored.

   Then it leads to who wrote this law and what position it belongs to.

  Ye Muyu's first reaction after reading this book was that it was majestic, serious, and even murderous.

   After reading the previous content similar to the introduction, it is the main topic, and then there are all cases.

   Such as theft.

   "Stealing goods is called stealing", "harming one's body is called thief".

   Stealing property is called "robbery", and violating personal safety is called "thief".

  Those who plan but do not steal will be beaten forty-seven times with bamboo boards or thorns.

  If the thief fails to steal, hit him fifty-seven times.

  If the stolen money is less than one penny, sixty-seven blows will be given.

  When reaching ten hangings, the sentence shall be one year in prison, and for every additional ten hangings, one more year shall be served, but the maximum shall not exceed three years.

At the same time, in order to punish the thieves, the "Law of Chu" also adopted the corporal punishment that had been abolished since the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. The first time the thief would be tattooed on the left arm, the second time he would be tattooed on the right arm, and if he stole the third time, he would be tattooed on the neck. Upper thorn.

   It is enough to see that "Chu Law" has been gradually perfected, so at least this dynasty has developed well.

  Ye Muyu read it for more than an hour, and waited for Chu Ziluo to call her before she looked up from the book.

   "Ziluo, what's wrong?"

   "Mom, my brother and I are hungry, I want to ask, can I make dinner?" Chu Ziluo asked cautiously.

  Ye Muyu just looked up at the sky outside the window, only to see that the sky was over.

  When Chu Heng left, it was already Shen Shi.

   "I'll cook, you guys continue to read." Ye Muyu got up and went into the kitchen.

   There are not many dishes in the kitchen, only some cabbage, and the eggs were bought in the afternoon. Besides, there is a little meat left.

  Ye Muyu went out to the nearby field and pulled some lettuce. The lettuce was not big, and most of it was found from a pile of grass.
