Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 416 Employment Relationship
"Law? This is the word you hear the most." Lin Nanzheng said honestly, looking directly at her with his phoenix eyes, "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. This is just a lie. I don't pay attention to it at all. In the past, I was the only one who sued others, and no one dared to sue me, even if I sued, it was useless. If the people sue the officials, the people will be punished with [-] boards."

"Ahem..." Hong Lianshuo coughed lightly when he heard the words, "So this must be abolished."

"It will be very troublesome to abolish the follow-up." Han Qinhu frowned and looked at her and said, "For example, in case of false accusation! What should you do?"

"What did the Qin law say?" Hong Lianshuo said as he looked at them with his bright eyes rolling slightly.

"I didn't pay much attention to this, I need to look for the law." Lin Nanzheng turned his phoenix eyes to look at her and said.

"This law is generally followed by the previous dynasty." Cao Huaimin said, "and most of them follow the Qin law."

"The laws of the Qin Dynasty have been criticized by the world for their strictness." Han Qinhu looked at them worriedly and said, "If we really want to restore the laws of Qin, I'm afraid someone will criticize them."

"Old Cao said that the laws of the Qin Dynasty will be followed, but he didn't say that he copied them mechanically. Times have changed, and there must be changes and repairs to suit the current situation." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes like ink. Said, "Let's discuss this later, and we all go to make up for the law of the previous court." Looking slightly at the three of them, he said,
"When discussing again, more people must be invited, including the elderly, children and women."

"What do you want them to do?" Han Qinhu looked at her puzzled and asked, "Can't we make a decision?"

"Everyone is involved in the law, of course they have to be invited." Hong Lianshuo looked at them clearly and said.

"Are women coming too?" Han Qinhu whispered.

"It's not about women." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with raised eyebrows and said, "Why do you want to replace women? Can you really empathize with me?" He stared at him without blinking and said, " Let me just say a little bit, can you accompany your future wife into the delivery room when she has a baby?"

"Then how can it be! It's unlucky for a man to go in." Cao Huaimin said immediately after hearing the words.

"So! This involves women, and women have to do it themselves." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep eyes and said.

Cao Huaimin twisted the three strands of beard under his jaw and said, "Ms. Hong, what kind of changes do you want to make to the laws involving women, or because you are a woman, you want to overpower men."

"Mr. Cao thinks too much. The common consciousness that men are heaven does not change, and I am personally small." Hong Lianshuo looked at him nervously with deep eyes and said, "I just want a woman to be the bottom of a person. Assure."

"Humans?" Cao Huaimin looked at her in surprise and said, "What you're saying doesn't seem like we treat them as human beings."

"Is there?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bottomless eyes like deep pools and said, "Maybe you have the most basic respect for your mother and wife, but how do you treat other women? The concubines and maids at home..."

"Uh..." Cao Huaimin pursed his lips and said hesitantly, "They...that..."

"In your eyes, it's just a game. The power of life and death is in your hands, and life and death are only in your conscience." Hong Lianshuo said as he looked at them with cold eyes.

"With regard to the execution of slaves, it was a crime in the Qin and Han Dynasties to kill slaves without authorization. During the Han Dynasty, the law further prohibited the mutilation and abuse of slaves. In the late Western Han Dynasty, Wang Huo, the son of Wang Mang, killed slaves without authorization. Wang Mang forced Wang Huo to commit suicide in order to buy people's hearts." Lin Nanzheng thought After thinking about it, Feng Mou stared at her and said.

Cao Huaimin echoed the words when he heard the words, ""Dong Guan Han Ji" records: Duan Cao Sheng, the capital of the township, killed his maidservant and wiped out the country. During the reign of Emperor Xuan, the prime minister Wei Xiang had a maidservant who hanged himself, and the master still needs to bear criminal responsibility. Jing Zhaoyin Zhao For this reason, Guanghan wrote a letter to accuse the prime minister of crimes. These records all princes and prime ministers were convicted of killing slaves. Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, regarded the nature of heaven and earth as the most precious, and issued an edict: Killing slaves will not reduce the crime.... Dare to burn Burning slaves and maidservants is like a law. Those who are not burned are common people."

Lin Nanzheng looked at her with dim eyes and said, "Although the law is against it, the blood of the venerable is worth a penny, and the blood of the humble is worth a penny. There is a difference between hurting people."

"Huh?" Hong Lianshuo looked at Lin Nanzheng suspiciously.

Lin Nanzheng looked directly at her with his phoenix eyes and said, "People are divided into three classes: upper, middle and lower. The upper class has the highest life price. The second class will not be killed except in times of war. According to the system, the land and alluvial gold should be judged, not the price of life and goods and treasures; from the upper middle class to the lower class, there are statutes on the amount of life price, and the judgment should be based on goods and treasures, etc. Upper, middle and lower three Everyone must be determined according to their lineage, status, and function. The division of the three classes is usually based on status or status, but it can also be based on the degree of power, public or private. .Women, vagabond beggars, blacksmiths, butchers, etc. all belong to the lower ranks. The old law said: kill blacksmiths, butchers, etc., and pay for a piece of grass rope.”

"This master often executes slaves, but he just finds a reason why slaves should die." Han Qinhu followed up, "Obviously, the powerful can punish slaves at will. However, the law stipulates that After all, it is just a regulation, and the gentry treat it as if it does not exist at all. In actual operation, the powerful have countless means to reduce the law to a dead letter." After a pause, he continued, "For example, if a servant is beaten to death, what will happen? It was added that he intended to rape the mistress and was beaten to death on the spot, so that his death was in vain. In addition, if the servant really made a big mistake, he would report it to the government and kill the servant after approval, which is called Yesha."

"This law stipulates that slaves and maidservants' livestock are similar to property. Slaves and maidservants are sluts, and they are compared to livestock. Those who produce vassal interest are called maidservants giving birth to children, horses and foals, etc. The slaves and maidservants are the same as assets, and they are not related to the same law. Slaves and maidservants are the same as assets. So don't say anything. Since slaves and maidservants have the same property, they will be disposed of by the master. Comparing slaves and maidservants with property, there are many different things." Cao Huaimin looked at them with deep eyes and said.

"Look, the law is against killing slaves and maidservants. It's just that the enforcement and punishment are not strong enough." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and bright eyes and said, "Slaves are not allowed in this world."

"There are no servants here, we do everything by ourselves!" Lin Nanzheng looked at her with a frown and said, "Then our time will be wasted in daily life, these trivial things must have servants!"

"You can hire! You give money, and the servants sell their labor." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a raised eyebrow and said, "The relationship between master and servant has changed to an employment relationship."

"Ah!" Han Qinhu swallowed his saliva, "In this way, the servants can move freely."
