MTL - My Great Qin Cannot Die-Chapter 599 1 Everything is in the interests of the empire
Although they didn't open their mouths, all the officials including the merchants and the Daqin Legislative Office knew that this discussion was for commercial law.
It seems that it is for the sake of merchants, but in fact it is for the stability of the empire. Whether it is the establishment of commercial law or other laws, it is for the stability of the empire.
Therefore, all their suggestions should be based on maintaining the stability of the empire and putting the interests of the empire first, otherwise, they can only disgust the first emperor.
At this time, the various classes of the empire, apart from the peasants who were the first to carry out the land reform, had great respect for the First Emperor, and now they were keen on merchants.
As for the literati, the perception of Shi Huangdi is actually very bad, because every move of Shi Huangdi, for the literati, is a weakening of power and status.
It's just that the current Great Qin Empire controls Qin paper and printing techniques, controls the key to the context of the world, and even promotes the national examination to attract a group of poor scholars. Therefore, the situation has fallen into a stalemate.
Therefore, the relationship between the current merchants and the empire is undoubtedly the best. They are also willing to give up some of their own interests for the sake of the empire, because they all know that the promotion of their status is their biggest gain.
They are all businessmen. It has long been instinct for them to make profits. Naturally, they are accustomed to making profits. They believe that as long as their status is improved and the environment is better, they will make more profits.
The only worry is the promotion of status, and now the First Emperor has such an intention and a firm attitude, this is their chance.
For thousands of years, since the merchants have been in the world, apart from the Shang Dynasty, only the First Emperor has given them a glimmer of hope.
If they don't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they will not only feel sorry for themselves, but also commit crimes against the merchants of later generations.
At this moment, all the merchants are on guard, and they want to contribute to the soundness of the empire's laws.
"let's start!"
After the First Emperor spoke, everyone turned their attention to Bi Yuan of the Legislative Office, because he was also the Tingwei of the Tingwei Mansion. Apart from Li Si and the First Emperor, he was the one who knew Qin law best.
This matter naturally requires him to stand up and make the most core regulations, and then expand and refine on this basis.
Sensing that everyone was looking at him, Bi Yuan also stood up and saluted the First Emperor, then said, "Your Majesty, and your colleagues, the matter of reforming the law is of great importance. Combining with internal history miscellaneous laws, legal questions and answers and other existing laws to revise.”
"First determine whether these laws are reasonable and suitable for the current Great Qin Empire, and then decide to abolish and continue to use them. In this case, add new ones."
Having said this, Bi Yuan's sharp eyes swept over the merchants and the ministers of the Legislative Office, and then said in a deep voice, "However, the premise of formulating all commercial laws must not be contrary to Qin law, and must not harm the interests of Da Qin. "
"The commercial law exists to protect the interests of the merchant class and the empire. This is the most basic. Once the commercial law is implemented, it means that all merchants in the world must act in accordance with the law, and those who violate it will be severely punished. ."
"The existence of the merchant class and the legislation of commercial law are all to make business on the right track and contribute to the prosperity and strength of the empire."
"No businessman in the world can act in violation of commercial laws. This is a major event to revitalize a class. I hope you don't take it lightly."
"No."
For Bi Yuan's admonition, the ministers were shocked. They all knew that the first emperor's killing was decisive, and before that, blood had flowed into rivers for the world where scholars and peasants were killed.
This time, if it doesn't go with the flow, I'm afraid there will be a lot of killings. After all, unless a new land law is promulgated, the Qin Empire is also making a big move in the matter of merchants, first revising the law, and then legislating.
This level of attention is unprecedented.
Even some of the merchants present felt panic in their hearts. This level of love made them feel ashamed.
For a while, the atmosphere on the venue became relaxed. Whether it was the officials of the Legislative Council or the merchants from the major counties who came, they were all whispering to discuss the matter.
At the venue, Ying Zheng had a solemn expression, and Fu Su and Ying Cointreau on the side had solemn expressions. They were here to listen and had no right to speak or decide.
The first emperor of Daqin, who oversees the country, and his grandson are all there. It can be said that the three generations of emperors of Daqin in the future are all present. This shows that Ying Zheng attaches great importance to this matter.
"Everyone, the reason why I called you here is that I even set up a Legislative Office. Just as Bi Yuan said, I hope to legislate for Daqin's business and put it on the right track."
Ying Zheng looked at all the people present, and said in a low voice, "Legislation is never something that can be decided and completed overnight. It takes a long time to revise and think about it."
"The establishment of commercial law is not only to safeguard the interests of merchants and the empire, but also to make Daqin's commercial law suitable for the current Daqin, otherwise the establishment of commercial law will drag down the empire."
"Therefore, I can give you a long time to legislate, and commercial law must be enforceable."
"The state is busy~www.novelbuddy.com~ It is impossible for me and the supervisor to stay here all the time, so let the emperor stay here, let him be a bystander, he will not make any comments or make any decisions. ."
"No."
Nodding in agreement, everyone was not surprised. They all knew that it was impossible for Shi Huangdi and Fusu to pay attention to this matter every day.
"My dear fellows, first draw up the rules and regulations of commercial law, and then submit them to my desk, and I will read them again."
"No."
........
Ying Zheng left the venue. He never thought of personally participating in the revision of Qin's law. The regulations of Qin's law were actually perfect except for merchants who didn't pay attention to it.
As long as corporal punishment is abolished, it can be used.
It's just that he has always had an idea in his heart, that is, to formulate the fundamental laws of the Great Qin Empire, to make the existing Qin laws into a constitution, and to make them work to determine the basic direction.
Only in this way, the following laws must not be contrary to Qin law, naturally the system of Qin law can be kept from collapse, and the imperial legal system can be guaranteed to a limited extent.
Ying Zheng has great ambitions. He wants to ignite the technology tree, which means that whether it is legislation or other things, this matter needs to be considered.
Daqin's revision and legislation this time need to be guaranteed to be applicable for fifty years, or even a hundred years.
This is the reason why Ying Zheng cared so much about commercial law legislation from the very beginning.
