Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

"Don't come here! Don't come here!"

Stabbed the man who recruited the boy to death with a single knife, and then waved the blood-stained ring knife, so that everyone around him was not allowed to act rashly.

In broad daylight, the heavens and the earth are clear, and at the feet of the emperor, this man dares to kill people in the street, the nature is really too bad.

Prince Heng frowned, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Presumptuous!"

"Killing people in the streets of my Jinling imperial capital, do you know what kind of crime it is?"

"Sin? Hehe, it's nothing more than a death!"

The man looked at death as if he was at home, and said with a sneer, "I don't want to live anymore!"

"Do you know what happened to me?"

"This Fan's clothing factory is a black workshop at all!"

"I have worked so hard for the promised salary of [-] to [-] yuan per month, but what I get is only [-] yuan!"

"He tried every means to deduct my wages, not to mention, and finally resigned, and he didn't even return the security deposit to me!"

"That's my mother's medical expenses, life-saving money!"

"This guy tricked me into Fan's Garment Factory, and the people in the factory evaded each other and withheld my wages. If I hadn't killed him, I would have been his grandson!"

Qingji and Prince Heng looked at the impulsive young man in front of them, and their emotions were inevitably complicated.

Is it worth it to lose your life for a mere tens of thousands of dollars?
"Take it!"

Not long after, a group of yamen servants rushed over and arrested the man.

The man didn't resist either, he threw the ring head knife and was captured without a fight.

He did it just to get his wages back.

Qing Ji glanced at Fan Li who was beside him, and said, "Uncle Shao, it seems that your Fan's garment factory needs to be rectified."

"promise."

Fan Li said helplessly, "I will definitely not let anyone involved in the incident go unnoticed."

Qingji turned his attention to Prince Heng again, and said, "Wu Heng, you will try this case. After sorting out the specific cases, report to me."

"promise!"

……

In Qingji's eyes, the death of a person is harmless and nothing.

However, Qing Ji could see something different from it.

Dawu is now developing industries, and various paper-making workshops, clothing workshops, steel workshops, printing workshops, etc. have been built, and many workers are needed. If there are no rules and relevant legal provisions for some things, there will always be damage the interests of ordinary people.

This is not something Qingji wants to see.

Two days later, both Prince Heng and Fan Li came to Zide Hall and reported to Qingji the inside story of the murder case that day.

"Father, the murderer is named 'Liangfu'. He is twenty years old and has no one to rely on since he was a child. He was adopted by an old woman who lives in Cuipingli, Wannian Township, Jinling. He entered Fan's garment factory half a year ago to work."

"When I was in Fan's Garment Factory, Liangfu worked hard, but the wages he got were not satisfactory. He was deducted one-fifth or one-third of the wages, so Liangfu was angry from the guts. When he left the job, he wanted I returned my wages, but I was beaten several times.”

"His mother was seriously ill and needed medicine to recuperate, and the good husband was short of money. In anger, he found the young man who recruited him at the beginning. That's how the good husband committed murder in the street."

After listening to Prince Heng's narration, Fan Li lowered his head again and said, "Your Majesty, I have already investigated clearly."

"The matter is roughly consistent with what His Royal Highness said."

"The person responsible for recruiting workers is not the people from Chen Fan's garment factory, but the outsourced businessmen. They secretly colluded with the masters of the garment workshop and secretly deducted the wages of many workers."

"With less money, the vast majority of workers will just swallow their anger."

"Even if they are dissatisfied, they will be threatened by some rogues. In order to avoid being beaten severely or harming their families, the workers can only endure in silence."

"..."

Qing Ji frowned and asked, "Will they not report to the police?"

"Reported."

The crown prince Heng said embarrassingly: "Father, workers who have suffered losses will report to the government, but the government generally will not accept it."

"Who can open a workshop, who doesn't have some connections? Spend money to get through the whole process, and these things will be over."

Hearing this, Qingji's expression turned cold, and he said, "What a collusion between officials and businessmen."

"This is fraud, this is robbery!"

"In this way, can the rights and interests of our Dawu workers be guaranteed?"

Neither Prince Heng nor Fan Li dared to answer Qingji's question.

"Wu Heng, tell me, what countermeasures do you have?"

Prince Heng thought for a moment, then said: "Father, my son thinks that Father should issue an edict to explicitly prohibit the recruitment of workers in various workshops from being contracted to other businessmen, and at the same time legislate on this matter."

"If the workers were treated unfairly like good husbands in the workshop, they would not have no way to defend themselves and cause such a disaster."

Qing Ji nodded slightly and said, "Wu Heng, I will leave this matter to you."

"promise."

Prince Heng agreed, but asked rather hesitantly: "Father, what should I do with my good husband?"

After all, Liang Fu killed people in the street, and the nature was too bad.

Although there is a reason for the incident, Qingji must not let him go easily.

"The law is nothing more than human feelings. Let him take care of his mother's death, and then send him to the country of Lu (Lydia) to guard the border."

"Father is wise."

Prince Heng secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

……

The next day, Qingji held a grand court meeting in Fengtian Hall, and all officials with a rank of more than six hundred shi in the court must be present to participate.

Qingji asked Prince Heng to compile a "Labor Law" and make it official.

In the past, there were some legal provisions related to "labor" in Dawu, but they were not perfect and rather chaotic. Now what Prince Heng has to do is to integrate the "Labor Law" and further improve it.

Qingji also gave important instructions: "Where I am Dawu, workers from all walks of life, the minimum wage standard is [-], and there must be no mistakes. Employers below this standard will be abolished. All will be confiscated."

"The working hours of workers shall not exceed three hours (six hours). Whether to work overtime depends on the wishes of the workers themselves."

"Workers have five days off and two days off, and at least eight days off in a month!"

"If there is a violation, against the wishes of the workers, who are forced to work overtime, all the property of the employer will be confiscated, and the whole family will be exiled to the border country."

"At the same time, it is forbidden to hand over the recruitment of workers in various workshops to other businessmen. In terms of wages, if there is fraud, the contract will be invalidated and the government will not recognize it."

"The profiteers involved in the incident will all be punished with black ink, and the whole family will be exiled to the border country..."

Qingji's attack was not insignificant.

He tried his best to benefit the people and safeguard the rights of ordinary people.

"also."

Qingji took into account the fact that workers' reports to officials were not accepted.
