Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 155 Laws Can Lag, But Judges Can't! (seeking subscription)

"Business Administration Law?" Everyone chewed on these words.

Ji Heng said indifferently: "After the last official visit to Shanhai, the government has announced to the public that the status of merchants is no longer a lowly status, but is on par with the ordinary heads of Guizhou, but the laws related to merchants have not come out for a long time."

"Meng Yi, you are the chief officer of Tingwei Mansion, don't you have anything to say?"

Meng Yi's face was slightly stagnant.

finally.

He just smiled wryly and said, "It's true that I failed my duty."

"Dereliction of duty?" Ji Heng sneered, and said disdainfully, "Is it just dereliction of duty?"

"You are committing a crime!"

"There are hundreds of thousands of people in the world, ranging from wealthy merchants to peddlers and pawns. There are hundreds of thousands of people who make a living from business operations. The court has never given laws and regulations to such a huge group. Isn't this a joke in the Great Qin, where the country was established by law? "

heard.

Meng Yi's face suddenly changed.

Ji Heng snorted coldly, and continued: "If there is no law prohibiting it, you can do it."

"The laws and decrees of the Great Qin Dynasty have never strictly managed merchants, so this shipwreck incident, in my opinion, is bound to happen, but it just happened to happen in Guanzhong this time."

"Lack of law."

"It's bound to lead to more crime."

"It's inevitable."

"Does Daqin have laws related to merchants?"

"Have."

""Jinbu Law", "Sikong Law", "Cang Law", "Stable Law", etc., all involve the sale of commodities, but they are all limited to commodities, and do not restrict the behavior of merchants, especially when the status of merchants has been greatly improved. Afterwards, the existing laws of Daqin have less constraints on merchants."

"It's even directly unreliable."

"Businessmen seem to have become a blank area of ​​the law."

"Only rely on the most basic "law of robbery" and "law of robbery" to convict."

"The six most basic laws and decrees of the Great Qin Dynasty are mostly aimed at ordinary Guizhou chiefs. The crimes that ordinary Guizhou chiefs can commit can be large or small, but relatively speaking, most of them are petty crimes, but merchants are not. Once a crime occurs, it may lead to serious crimes. There was turmoil."

"However, the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty are difficult to easily convict."

"Isn't that absurd?"

"At present, Daqin's laws on merchants have not yet been issued. Does this mean that the shipwreck incident can continue to happen, and even as long as the responsibility can be cleared, no one can be held accountable, and I can also say that I am also a victim. Gain sympathy from the government?"

heard.

Meng Yi's face changed drastically.

His forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

He also realized the problem.

If Daqin did not manage and restrain the behavior of the merchants, unless conclusive evidence was found for the sinking of the ship, it would be difficult to convict the merchants, because as long as the merchants justify a little and justify the matter, they can be easily cleared. Get away with it.

But this is too hasty, too child's play.

This seems to be a loophole in Qin Law.

Meng Yi said: "Mr. taught me that Meng Yi was careless in the past."

Ji Heng sneered, and said indifferently: "I know that the law is lagging, but the lag of the law does not mean that officials can lag behind. If officials lag behind, it is equivalent to committing a crime."

"Nearly all the officials of Ting Wei have failed their duties."

"They're all committing crimes, too."

"Hundreds of people in Huai County were killed this time, and all the officials in Tingwei's Mansion are inseparable from you."

Meng Yi hurriedly said: "When I go back, I will summon the officials of the government office to prepare the business law, and incorporate the daily management of merchants into the law."

Ji Heng shook his head and said, "Not enough."

"Tingwei's Mansion symbolizes the fairness of laws and regulations in the hearts of the world. Now, because of your dereliction of duty, hundreds of people have been killed and hundreds of families have been severely damaged. Is this enough to make up for it?"

"Tingwei Mansion is a symbol of the law in the hearts of the world."

"At present, there is such a big loophole in Tingwei's mansion, how can it be solved by a fluffy preparatory business law?"

"If you don't govern the world in the same way, you can make the country lawless."

"This was clearly proposed by Shang Yang in the past, so the Great Qin Law will make up for the profit and loss every once in a while, but craftsmen, merchants and other groups have always been outside the law and have not received real attention."

"You need to give the world an explanation!"

"This is related to the world's perception of whether Tingwei Mansion can maintain fairness and justice."

Meng Yi's face turned pale.

He has heard the meaning of Ji Heng.

He is responsible.

It's just that once this responsibility is taken, the position of Ting Wei may not be kept.

Fusu's face changed slightly.

He also didn't expect Ji Heng to be so ruthless.

In a few words, Meng Yi was convicted, and the entire government office was involved.

If it is true, it will be sentenced according to the crime of "missing punishment" and "not straight".

The Tingwei Mansion may all be downgraded by one or two levels.

Fusu opened his mouth, wanting to explain a few words to Meng Yi, but before he could say anything, he met Ji Heng's cold eyes, and when the words reached his mouth, they just turned into a long sigh.

At this moment, Du He felt his hair stand on end.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with listening to him before, but now that "Mr. Zhong" really got into trouble, he felt his scalp tingle. This man is really lawless, and he has no fear at all. All offended.

He straightened himself up.

Thinking about the situation of the Shaofu in his mind, thinking that the involvement of the Shaofu should not be deep, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At the same time, he secretly mourned for Meng Yi.

In fact, the lack of management in industry and commerce has a long history, even since ancient times, but no one paid attention to it in the past, and no one cared, but this time it happened to be in the hands of this "Mr. Zhong", and this person seems to be a hater Man, shake everything out at once.

Meng Yi happened to be in the position of Tingwei.

So it suffered directly.

Zhang Cang secretly moved his butt, keeping himself a little away from Meng Yi.

He was also afraid that this matter would implicate himself.

Meng Yi's face changed, and finally he lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhong said that I, Meng Yi, as the Great Qin Tingwei, have always ignored the management laws related to industry and commerce. Waiting for serious incidents, but still did not arouse vigilance.”

"I've been dereliction of duty too badly."

"It should be punished."

"Thank you sir for teaching me."

Ji Heng nodded slightly, and said, "I'm only right about things and not people."

"Your talent is enough to be a Ting Wei."

"But not enough knowledge."

"Han Feizi once said something."

"The prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must start from the army."

"Your family background destined you to be in a high position, but the starting point is too high, which also limits you. Your vision is limited to the imperial court and some books, but you lack a lot of experience at the grassroots level."

"Demotion is not a bad thing for you."

Meng Yi was thoughtful.

Ji Heng turned his head and continued: "Daqin's business management law must be established, and it must be established as soon as possible."

"The tragic incident in Huai County is both sad and sobering."

"It's enough for such a tragic thing to happen once."

"No more!"

inside the hall.

The faces of the merchants changed completely.

When they heard Mr. Zhong mention the "Business Administration Law", they couldn't help but feel a little bit of a thump in their hearts. When they saw that Meng Yi and even the entire Tingwei Mansion were going to be demoted, they felt a chill rushing from their tailbone Tianling cover.

It's so cold that your teeth chatter.

They knew something was going to happen.

What a big deal!

Although there were many restrictions on merchants in the past, most of them were limited to food, clothing, housing and transportation, and their status was low. The actual impact was not very great, because they were big merchants, they would not serve in the military, and they would not be easily conscripted, so they would not subject to criminal law.

It also means.

They are just like prisoners, but they are not bound by the law.

They were happy to see it in the past.

But if there is a clear business management law, it will be different.

Everything is legally bound.

Many things that were allowed in the past are now illegal.

This is obviously not what merchants want to see.

Cheng Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhong, is it necessary?"

"We merchants are all law-abiding people, how dare we do things that violate the law?"

"I don't think it's necessary to set up the Business Administration Law, and Mr. Zhong doesn't need to put it on the line. It's going to be spring plowing soon, and the government may have a lot to do, so don't bother the government to worry about it. "

Merchants around quickly responded.

"exactly."

"It's completely unnecessary!"

"It's fine as usual."

"."

Ji Heng looked at the merchants below, and said with a half-smile: "I believe you are innocent, but you are innocent, what about the other merchants?"

"This time the shipwreck in Huai County suffered heavy losses, how can the government stand by and watch?"

"If the name is not correct, the speech will not be correct."

"The one who cleans himself cleans himself."

"Even if the government introduces the "Business Administration Law", you are all innocent people. If there is no such law, what effect will it have on you? Can't."

"unless."

"You have to touch the law!"

Cheng Zheng and the others froze, and quickly waved their hands: "Of course not."

Ji Heng nodded and said, "It can't be the best."

"No rules no standards."

"It's always good to have rules."

"If there is no prohibition by the law, it can be done, and if there is no authorization by the law, it is prohibited."

"That's why the law exists."

"In the past, industry and commerce were not possible, so many lawbreakers took advantage of the loopholes. I am afraid that you will suffer a lot from this. When there is a law in the future, everything will have a law to follow, and you will also benefit from it."

Cheng Zheng and the others blushed, all they wanted to do was curse.

But nothing came out of his mouth.

Just blue lips.

Feng Dong and Feng Zhen looked at each other with concern.

They had already experienced it last time.

Last time, Mr. Zhong blocked their mouths with the sentence "Daqin doesn't need a second Lu Buwei". What is the effect? ', once again blocked everyone's mouth tightly.

What is blocked is unspeakable.

This Mr. Zhong has always suppressed people with righteousness.

It's too overwhelming to argue.

By now.

Feng Dong completely understood.

The previous intimidation was all fake, and now it is true to put shackles on merchants.

Although he didn't know the details of the Business Administration Law, he knew very well that the good days of merchants were over.

It's over forever! ! !
