"Business Administration Law?" Everyone chewed on these words.
Ji Heng said indifferently: "The government has announced to the outside world that the status of merchants is no longer a lowly status, but is on par with ordinary Guizhou officials. However, the laws related to merchants have not yet come out."
"Meng Yi, you are the chief officer of Tingwei Mansion, don't you have anything to say?"
Meng Yi's face was slightly dull.
finally.
He just smiled bitterly and said: "It is indeed my fault."
"Dereliction of duty?" Ji Heng sneered and said disdainfully: "Is it just a dereliction of duty?"
"You are committing a crime!"
"There are hundreds of thousands of people in the world who make a living from business, ranging from rich merchants to peddlers and lackeys. For such a huge group, the imperial court has never issued laws and regulations. Isn't this a joke in the Qin Dynasty, which is based on law? "
Hear the words.
Meng Yi's face changed suddenly.
Ji Heng snorted coldly and continued: "You can do whatever is not prohibited by law."
"The laws of the Qin Dynasty have never strictly managed merchants, so in my opinion, this shipwreck is bound to happen, but this time it happened to happen in Guanzhong."
"Absence of law."
"It will definitely lead to more crimes."
"It's inevitable."
"Does Da Qin have laws and regulations related to merchants?"
"have."
"The Golden Rules, the Sikong Rules, the Cang Rules, and the Stable Garden Rules all involve the sale of goods, but they are limited to goods and do not restrict the behavior of merchants, especially when the status of merchants has been greatly improved. Later, the existing laws of the Qin Dynasty placed fewer restrictions on merchants."
"It's even outright impossible to rely on."
"Businessmen have become a blank area of the law."
"Only rely on the most basic six articles such as "The Law of Thieves" and "The Law of Thieves" to convict."
"The six most basic laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty are mostly aimed at ordinary Guizhou heads. The crimes that ordinary Guizhou heads can commit range from major to minor, but relatively speaking, they are mostly minor crimes. However, this is not the case for merchants. Once a crime occurs, it may lead to serious consequences. The place is in turmoil.”
"However, Da Qin's laws and regulations make it difficult to convict easily."
"Isn't this ridiculous?"
"Nowadays, Daqin's laws on merchants have not yet been issued. Does this mean that shipwrecks can continue to happen? Even if the responsibility can be cleared, no one will be held responsible, and we can just say "I am also a victim" lightly. Gain sympathy from the government?"
Hear the words.
Meng Yi's expression changed drastically.
There was even cold sweat on his forehead.
He also realized the problem.
If the Qin Dynasty did not manage or restrict the behavior of merchants, it would be difficult to convict the merchants of the shipwreck unless conclusive evidence was found, because as long as the merchants made a little excuse and excused the matter, they could easily be cleared. Get rid of guilt.
But this is too hasty and too childish.
This seems to be a loophole in Qin's laws.
Meng Yi said: "What you taught me, sir, is that Meng Yi was careless in the past."
Ji Heng sneered and said indifferently: "I know that the law lags behind, 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 of Tingwei's officials have failed in their duties."
"They're all committing crimes too."
"Hundreds of people in Huai County lost their lives this time, and all the officials of Tingwei Mansion, big and small, are involved."
Meng Yi said quickly: "When I get back, I will summon officials from the government to prepare the commercial law and incorporate the daily management of merchants into the law."
Ji Heng shook his head and said, "Not enough."
"The Tingwei Mansion symbolizes the fairness of laws and regulations in the hearts of the world. Now, because of your negligence, hundreds of people have been killed and hundreds of families have been severely damaged. Isn't it enough to just make up for it?"
"Tingwei Mansion is a symbol of law in the hearts of the world."
"Now that there is such a big loophole in Tingwei's mansion, how can it be solved with a simple business plan?"
"If there is no way to govern the world, the country will not follow the ancient laws."
"This was clearly proposed by Shang Yang back then, so Da Qin's laws and regulations would make up for profits and losses every once in a while. However, groups such as craftsmen and merchants 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 view of whether Tingwei Mansion can maintain fairness and justice."
Meng Yi's face turned pale.
He had heard what Ji Heng meant.
He needs to take responsibility.
But with this responsibility, I may not be able to keep my position as Tingwei.
Fusu's face changed slightly.
He didn't expect Ji Heng to be so cruel.
In just a few words, Meng Yi was convicted, and the entire official office was convicted.
If he is really sentenced as "missing a sentence" or "not straight".
Tingwei Mansion may all have to be downgraded by one or two levels.
Fusu opened his mouth, wanting to defend Meng Yi a few words, but before the words came out, he met Ji Heng's cold eyes. When the words finally reached his lips, they just turned into a long sigh.
Du He felt horrified at this moment.
He didn't think anything was wrong when he was listening before, but now that 'Mr. Zhong' is really making trouble, he feels his scalp numb. This man is really lawless and has no fear at all. This move will destroy everyone in Tingwei's house. All offended.
He straightened himself.
After thinking about the situation of the young master in my mind, I thought that the young master's involvement should not be deep, and then I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
At the same time, I also secretly mourned for Meng Yi.
In fact, the lack of management in industry and commerce has been around for a long time, even since ancient times. However, no one paid attention to it in the past, and no one cared about it. However, this time it happened to be in the hands of Mr. Zhong, and this man seemed to be a man who hated evil as much as he wanted to. Man, all the things were shaken out in one fell swoop.
Meng Yi happened to be in the position of Tingwei.
So he suffered directly.
Zhang Cang secretly moved his buttocks to keep himself slightly away from Meng Yi.
He was also afraid that this matter would implicate himself.
Meng Yi's expression changed, and he finally lowered his head and said with cupped hands: "Mr. Zhong said that as a great Qin court official, I, Meng Yi, have always ignored the management laws related to industry and commerce. Now this sudden incident in Huai County Waiting for a serious incident, but still no alert."
"I was seriously negligent in my duties."
"Deserves punishment."
"Thank you sir for your teaching."
Ji Heng nodded slightly and said, "I just treat the situation differently than the person."
"Your talents are enough to serve as a Tingwei."
"But I don't know enough."
"Han Feizi once said something."
"The prime minister must be from the state headquarters, and the fierce general must be from the army."
"Your family background is destined for you to be in a high position, but your 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 around and continued: "Da Qin's industrial and commercial administration law must be established, and it must be established as soon as possible."
"This tragic incident in Huai County is saddening and alarming."
"It is enough for such a tragic thing to happen once."
"No more!"
In the hall.
The expressions of all the merchants changed completely.
When they heard Mr. Zhong mention the "Industrial and Business Administration Law", they couldn't help but feel a little thump in their hearts. When they saw that Meng Yi and even the entire Tingwei Mansion were about to be demoted, they felt a cold breath rushing straight from their tailbones. Tianling cover.
It's so cold that your teeth chatter.
They had realized something was going to happen.
Something big happened!
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 big, because they were big merchants and would not serve in the military and would not be easily drafted, so they would not Subject to criminal law control.
This also means.
Their status is similar to that of prisoners, but in fact they are not bound by the law.
They used to like this too.
But if there is a clear industrial and commercial administration law, it will be different.
Everything is regulated by law.
Many things that were possible 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 this not necessary?"
"We merchants are all law-abiding people, how dare we do things that violate the law?"
"I don't think it is necessary to establish this Industrial and Commercial Administration Law, and Mr. Zhong does not need to put it into practice. Spring plowing is coming soon, and the government may have a lot to do, so I won't bother the government to worry about it. "
The surrounding merchants responded quickly.
"Yeah."
"This is completely unnecessary!"
"Just keep it as usual."
"."
Ji Heng looked at the merchants below and said with a half-smile, "I believe you are innocent, but you are innocent, where are the other merchants?"
"This shipwreck in Huai County has caused heavy losses. How can the government just sit idly by?"
"If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct."
“Those who are pure will themselves be cleansed.”
"Even if the government introduces the "Industrial and Commercial Administration Law", you are all innocent people. With or without this law, what impact will it have on you? The law is to restrain lawbreakers. As long as you do not break the law, it is equivalent to No way."
"unless."
"You are going to break the law!"
Cheng Zheng and others' expressions froze, and they quickly waved their hands and said, "Of course you can't."
Ji Heng nodded and said, "It can't be the best."
"No rules no standards."
"It's always good to set rules."
"It can be done if the law does not prohibit it; if it is not authorized by the law, it is prohibited."
"This is the necessity for the existence of the law."
"In the past, industry and commerce were unable to do so, which allowed many lawless people to take advantage of the loopholes. You may have suffered a lot from this. When there is a law in the future, everything will be based on the law, and you will also benefit from it."
Cheng Zheng and others blushed, and all they wanted to do was curse.
But nothing came out of his mouth.
Just the lips are blue.
Feng Dong and Feng Zhen looked at each other with sadness in their hearts.
They had experienced it firsthand last time.
Last time, Mr. Zhong blocked their mouths by saying, "The Qin Dynasty does not need another Lu Buwei." This time, he said, "Since you are innocent, do you have any laws?" What's the impact? ’, once again blocking everyone’s mouths.
What is blocked is that there are words of suffering.
Mr. Zhong always suppresses others with his righteousness.
It's so overwhelming that one can't argue.
By now.
Feng Dong completely understood.
The previous threats were all false, but now it is true to put shackles on the merchants.
Although he didn't know the specifics of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Law, he knew clearly that the good days of businessmen were over.
It's over forever! ! !
