Li Si now people are confused for a moment, he never thought, the other side will actually give him a perversion of those instruments, to pit these noble ministers.
To know, although it is stipulated that the people do labour should be some responsibility.
But another instrument inside, also wrote to the people’s rights, the most basic, can not scold, must be paid on time and so on.
There were also restrictions on the nobles and ministers.
If these instruments were taken out directly, I am afraid that these noble ministers would not agree.
But now, this Crown Prince of his is actually using this tactic, describing the part of giving the people what they should be responsible for as bad, and using it as a benefit to lure the noble ministers onto the hook.
He himself was also noble and had to buy the right to use the secret arts of the Mojia, so he naturally understood what these people were thinking.
If he wanted him to say that the people who worked for him, it would be best if they didn’t rest for twelve hours a day, didn’t eat or drink, and didn’t pay for their work.
Just concentrate on doing work for him to make money.
Of course, this is impossible.
Now then, these standards that Zhao Lang himself had put forward were the same standards that they were going to fight over.
But no matter how much they argued, with this one line, then it also preserved the bottom line for the people to do their labour.
This, is what His Highness the Crown Prince is aiming for ah!
Thinking of this, Li Si looked slightly complicated and glanced at Zhao Lang at the top, this kind of retreat for advancement, false imperial mind tricks, His Majesty taught a good Prince ah!
As expected, even in the face of Zhao Lang’s angry rebuke, in front of the temptation of benefits, there were still nobles who stood out…
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, in fact, these rules are for the good of the people of Great Qin.”
“Let’s just say this is a good agreement with paperwork, it will also make those merchants not dare to delay the people’s wages.”
“As for this sick and so on, that sick is not the fault of the merchants, do not do the work, there is no money, this is extremely normal ah.”
Soon, this nobleman one by one will be these rules of the right name, said to the end, the nobleman is to say.
“Your Highness, I know you love the people, but you see, these venues, equipment, etc., are the merchants own investment.”
“Those people in addition to some of their own strength, nothing to pay, pay for labour, is already extremely benevolent.”
Hearing this, the nobles in the courtroom all agreed.
“Yes, yes, yes, yes, if there is a loss, those people do not have any loss, the wages are still taken.”
“Not bad! If you ask me, you should work five hours a day!”
“Well, five days off a day is too much, six… Well, seven days off a day would be enough!”
Listening to the following words, Zhao Lang’s fists directly hardened!
These people’s words at first listen to quite reasonable, the people indeed do not have to pay those sites, the capital of the machine.
But if he did not know that there is a ‘surplus value’ in the world, he may really be biased!
Thanks to the compulsory education in his last life.
This group of nobles really weren’t that easy to deal with, and only in their most rudimentary form were they thinking of cannibalism!
But this also strengthened his mind to legislate, if there is no law, these bast*rds can do even more outrageous things!
“How, you want the people of Qin are exhausted to death? Why don’t all of them go to work, the fields are deserted, what are you going to eat!”
Zhao Lang could only deny their ideas from the perspective of endangering people’s livelihood.
No matter who it is, no one dares to easily move this piece of interest, which is the foundation of the dynasty.
Sure enough, this one, these people are wilted for a while.
But not everyone chose to give up, one of the minister stood out and said.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, the livelihood of the people naturally cannot be moved, just… There are still a lot of slaves without fields in Da Qin, aren’t there?”
Instantly, all the ministers’ eyes lit up!
That’s right!
Didn’t they initially want to use these slaves as labourers, which is why they compromised with the Crown Prince and opened up the pilot to eliminate the Great Qin slaves?
Using these people had almost no impact on Great Qin’s livelihood.
And since these people didn’t have land, they could squeeze these people better!
All of a sudden, one’s mind turned, and just then, Zhao Lang’s cold voice rang out, the
“Prime Minister, what is the offence of slandering my Great Qin people as slaves?”
Hearing this, all the noble ministers looked stagnant, Li Si sighed slightly, knowing that the other party had run into the hands of the Crown Prince, and said.
“The offence of defamation, depending on the circumstances, the maximum can be death or a reduction of the title…”
Not waiting for Li Si to finish his sentence, Zhao Lang coldly said.
“That side will be demoted by three ranks and driven out of the court!”
After saying that, without giving everyone a chance to react, with a wave of his hand, there were guards dragging the dumbfounded nobles down.
Only after the people left did Zhao Lang continue, saying that
“None of the people of Great Qin of Curcuma are slaves, this matter cannot be questioned!”
Seeing that Zhao Lang was determined to kill the chicken for the monkey to see, and that this noble was caught in the act, the ministers and nobles could only swallow their breath at this point.
Just so, Zhao Lang knew that these nobles had changed the target to be squeezed, and those people who had only regained their freedom and had no fields became their best target!
It was impossible for him to fully reach his goal.
As expected, even though some nobles were demoted, these people were still die hard and didn’t let go.
On the premise of not endangering Great Qin, they had the determination and qualifications to argue with the Crown Prince for their own interests!
In the end, Zhao Lang could only grit his teeth and ask Li Si to come up with a first draft as soon as possible.
Li Si looked at the other party’s direction of departure with some concern, he knew that this time, Zhao Lang had indeed not achieved the results he wanted.
In other words, this time, the contest between the Da Qin Crown Prince and the group of ministers, it was the Da Qin Crown Prince who had lost.
After Zhao Lang left the courtroom with anger, the noble ministers also left with satisfaction.
This time, they had truly won.
Li Si stayed behind and waited for the other nobles to be almost gone before walking towards Wang Jian and Meng Tian who had been resting with their eyes closed.
These two men, who were now the topmost marquises, hadn’t said a single word in the courtroom.
“Marquis Wucheng, Marquis Zhongxin, His Highness the Crown Prince has always respected the two of you, please advise His Highness the Crown Prince on this matter as well.”
“It doesn’t matter if we didn’t achieve our goal this time, junshen junshen, there are always gains and losses in this as well.”
Li Si said at this time.
In Great Qin, this world was never the world of the royal family, it was also the world of the ministers.
Zhao Lang is still too overbearing.
Just hearing this, Wang Jian and Meng Tian both revealed a smile, Wang Jian picked up the paper that Zhao Lang had sent out earlier and
“The words on it don’t really matter.”
Li Si was confused for a moment when he heard this, this stuff isn’t important? Isn’t that what the crown prince is after? Can’t you see that he’s all pissed off like that?
Meng Ten went on to say.
“This paper is the important thing.”
In the next instant, Li Si snapped out of it and
This matter, of course, there was still a dispute, but at the very least, there was a bottom line.
Most importantly, there is a law to protect the people!
The law itself, that’s what’s important!
Thinking of this, Li Si couldn’t help but murmur.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince is even counting on me, I can be your future father-in-law!”
