Ding Ning was stunned in public. Seeing the wolf guards wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, she touched her nose angrily, not wanting to argue with her in public.

But she felt itchy in her heart. If there weren't so many people around, she would have to be pushed down on the spot and spanked hard.

"It's me who's a bitch, and I deserve to die. I shouldn't have offended the commander by spouting shit. I deserve to die. I deserve to die."

This Yuan Da is also a ruthless person, so why would he pay attention to Ding Ning's embarrassing episode? He knows that things today may not be rectified, and the only way to survive is to obtain Ding Ning's forgiveness.

So, after admitting his mistake, he started slapping his own mouth, which was really a heavy blow. After a few slaps, the corners of his mouth were covered with blood, and several of his teeth were knocked out alive. It hurt just to look at it.

"Shopkeeper Lu, please lend me a place."

Ding Ning ignored him, but looked at Lu Qifeng and said calmly.

Lu Qifeng's heart trembled. He knew that he was going to interrogate Yuan Da and wanted to refuse. However, under Ding Ning's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he dared not say a word. He secretly complained in his heart, but a flattering smile appeared on his face:

"Commander, please follow me."

"Well, then I'll bother shopkeeper Lu."

Ding Ning's tone was very polite, and he followed Lu Qifeng with his head held high, which made him feel chills running down his spine. He was confused for a moment, and wanted to hint Yuan Da not to talk nonsense, but under the nose of the wolf guard, where was he?

Dare to make any small moves.

Behind him, there were already wolf guards driving Yuan Da with blood on his face with murderous intent, following behind him.

Not long after, Lu Qifeng humbly asked Ding Ning to an empty accounting room in the backyard. After preparing tea, he didn't dare to look at Yuan Da's pleading eyes, and bowed down and backed away.

go out.

"Xiao Liuzi, go and inform your boss quickly."

After leaving the room, the flattering smile on Lu Qifeng's face dropped, and he became extremely gloomy. He hurriedly walked through the courtyard to the gatehouse of the trading company, waved over a rather clever-looking clerk and whispered instructions.

"Shopkeeper, where is Mr. Yuan?"

Xiao Liuzi was obviously a close confidant of shopkeeper Lu Da. He glanced at the cashier subconsciously and asked in a low voice with worry on his face.

Lu Qifeng frowned and frowned. He thought for a moment before waving his hand and sighing faintly: "Let's arrange for someone to inform you."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Xiao Liuzi also knew that the matter was urgent, so he turned around and left.

"etc."

Lu Qifeng seemed to have remembered something, so he quickly called Xiao Liuzi and whispered something in his ear.

Xiao Liuzi nodded solemnly and walked out quickly without saying a word.

In the accounting room, Ding Ning stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he chuckled: "I'll come on stage after you sing. It's getting more and more interesting."

Lang Yuansu stood beside him, glanced at Yuan Da who was surrounded by wolf guards and squatting in the corner with his head in his hands, and asked: "Commander, aren't we going to interrogate him?"

"What's the use of a trial?"

Ding Ning said in a calm tone.

Lang Yuan was startled for a moment, then reacted immediately.

Yes, slave trading is an extremely profitable industry in the Monster Clan. Even selling children and daughters is a way of survival for some poor families. Although the Marshal once worked hard to ban the slave trade, the Ten Thousand Demons Imperial Court is worried about disturbing too many people.

The interests of many people have affected the current stable situation, and they have always adopted ambiguous delaying measures without forming legislation.

The sale of underage girls also falls under the category of slave trading, so even if the fact that Yuan Xiu abused underage girls is found out, let alone no evidence, even if there is evidence, he cannot be convicted. At most, it will only discredit him.

Thinking of this, Lang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He didn't understand why the commander was making such a big fuss since he knew he couldn't do anything to Yuan Xiu.

The leopard girl stood beside Ding Ning obediently like a maid, occasionally glancing at him curiously, as if she was wondering why the young handsome man looked at her with burning eyes just now, but now he turned a blind eye to her.

"Some concepts and habits have been formed long ago and are difficult to change. It is easy to deal with one Yuan Xiu, but treating the symptoms does not cure the root cause. If Yuan Xiu is killed, more Li Xiu, Zhang Xiu and Chen Xiu will appear.

Manpower sometimes runs out, so what should we do with the things we can’t touch?”

As if aware of Lang Yuan's depressed mood, Ding Ning said meaningfully.

"This... kill every one you see!"

Lang Yuan hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was no good solution, so he could only scratch his head and said.

"Haha! The Ten Thousand Demons Territory is so big, we may not be able to discover what happens under our noses, let alone the Outer Nine Territories."

Ding Ning shook his head and laughed dumbly.

"Then...then we can't just watch them do whatever they want and ignore them."

Lang Yuan said unwillingly.

"That's why we need to legislate."

Ding Ning's eyes shone with wisdom as he talked eloquently: "A country... er, I mean the Imperial Court. If the Imperial Court is governed as a country, then if the country wants to prosper, the first prerequisite is,

To establish an effective standardized order that can protect the interests of the majority of people, the operation of this order requires strong force to ensure that those who do good will be rewarded and those who do evil will be punished."

Ding Ning ignored Lang Yuan's confused expression and said straight from the heart: "Over time, every citizen in this country will form a code of conduct to restrain themselves and know what can and cannot be done. This is legislation.

meaning.”

"Then why is the imperial court unwilling to agree to the commander-in-chief's legislation to abolish the slave trade?"

Lang Yuan half understood what he was hearing, but he still asked humbly.

"To a certain extent, legislation reflects the will of those in power. After all, those in power are not gods. They also have selfish motives. The imperial court has always been perfunctory and I am unwilling to pass legislation to abolish the slave trade because

They are worried that this legislation will touch the interests of too many people and may cause turmoil and affect the foundation of the imperial court. This is their most fundamental interest and they will not sacrifice it for the benefit of even the majority of people.

Self-interest."

Ding Ning sighed with melancholy in his eyes.

Due to his appearance and vigorous promotion of the New Deal, the social system of the Ten Thousand Demons Territory has taken a big step forward. On the surface, it seems to be very successful, but he knows very well in his heart that the drawbacks are huge, and some of the sequelae are now

It hasn't exploded yet, but once it breaks out in full force, it's not impossible for civilization to regress.

After all, he is not an able minister in governing the world, and he is extremely lacking in ideas and knowledge about governing the country. Many of his beautiful ideas only remain at the ideal level and cannot be perfectly realized.

In addition, the cultural customs, living habits, moral ethics and even three outlooks of humans and monsters are fundamentally different. Copying the development model of human civilization to the monsters will only be self-defeating.

Of course, if he is given enough time and authority, he can create an ideal country by reforming while thinking about it, with his knowledge that far exceeds that of modern people who know how many years the demon clan has.

But the problem is that he doesn't have much time left in this world, and he has no greed or pursuit of rights. The reason why he is willing to do so much is not because of how great his feelings are, but just because of the kindness in his heart.

He is just causing trouble. He wants to change the poverty and backwardness of the demon country, so that more poor families will not have to sell their children and daughters, and can have enough to eat, so that even if he leaves this world, he will feel at ease.

It's just that he thought things too simply. With the implementation of the New Deal, more and more social evils and bad habits of the demon clan were exposed, which were far beyond his imagination, giving him a strong sense of powerlessness.

The current demon country, with his ignorant participation, has become a deformed product of neither fish nor fowl. The New Deal implements feudal society and modern social systems, but in fact most of them are still in the stage of primitive society and slave society.

Is this considered taking too big a step?

Ding Ning smiled bitterly and laughed at himself in his heart.

His intentions were good, but he ignored that the development of every social civilization must be a gradual process, and accordingly a large number of huge groups representing the interests of the privileged class will be born.

Every specific historical period has its own distinctive characteristics and development foundation. The social system of modern civilization is based on the industrial revolution. The implementation of modern civilization in a poor and evil country is like duckweed without roots and has no success at all.

possible.

The establishment of the Imperial Court of Ten Thousand Demons is a significant symbol of a historical transition period from slave society to feudal society. It represents the official entry of monarchy centralism on the stage of history. This step is already a step forward, and he is still making a big fanfare.

They advocate equality for all, implement modern civilized laws and regulations, and attempt to use modern management concepts to achieve a leap forward in history. Isn't this nonsense?

After learning from the pain, Ding Ning realized that he had made a very serious mistake, so he did not forcefully ask the imperial court to insist on abolishing the slave trade law to interfere with the normal process of history. Instead, he focused his development on farming, fishing and hunting. This is what he did

It is in line with the current development trend of demon society.

Although he knew that the slave trade was an inevitable product of historical development, as a modern man, he still could not accept this kind of behavior of treating people as goods or livestock, which was why he was so angry and impulsive before.

This is also the reason why he arrested Yuan Da but did not interrogate him at all.

It actually doesn't matter whether he is interrogated or not. In this special historical period, privileges are above the law, and he is lucky enough to be a member of the privileged class, the class with the highest privileges.

Since he has to act within the rules, and the law was formulated and implemented by Ding Ning, he can only act within the rules of the game.

Isn't it just bullying? As a military marshal who even pays tribute to the emperor and the eight princes, he just wants to bully others.

Lang Yuan didn't understand what he said, and he didn't need to understand. Based on his understanding of the commander, the commander would never sit back and watch those poor underage girls. That was enough.

After thinking through this section, Lang Yuan immediately cheered up again. He stood with a calm face and watched the next development of the situation.

Nian Nujiao’s proprietor came very quickly. After all, it was about shopkeeper Lu Da’s life and death. Although the proprietor was very annoyed that shopkeeper Lu Da had taken the order on his own and behind her back, the matter had developed to the point where it was now, and it was no longer Lu Da’s.

The big shopkeeper can personally take on this responsibility, so no matter how reluctant she is, she has to handle this matter personally.

"Is it you?"

Ding Ning looked at the visitor with a startled expression. To be honest, the identity of the proprietor really surprised him.

"Brother-in-law, I'm here to apologize to you."
