legislation!

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent first, and then there was an uproar.

This is really a shocking word!

Gao Luxing has made enough mental preparations, because judging from Han Yi's actions, Han Yi must have a very amazing requirement, so Han Yi will not compromise easily, but Gao Luxing never expected that Han Yi would actually want legislation.

In the early Tang Dynasty, kings paid great attention to the law, and each law was considered comprehensively. Generally, it was repeatedly discussed by the emperor and ministers above the third rank to be included in the Yonghui Law. No sixth rank official had ever made such a terrifying request.

Moreover, the sudden jump from insignificant business competition to national laws is also a bit unexpected.

In fact, many officials were watching the fun just now. They looked down on businessmen and thought that it was an insult to participate in this kind of thing. But now it is different. The law is related to everyone's personal interests. They can't help but cheer up and look at Han Yi with an alternative look. It seems that you are crazy!

Only Changsun Wuji is still there, and the old god is there. He has experienced too much turmoil. How can he be surprised if the legislation is just written? Moreover, whether it is the key to whether it is written or not is his opinion and Li Zhi. No matter how Han Yi shouted, he would ask him.

Chu Suiliang was not nervous. The key point was that he couldn't stand Han Yi, a slutty boy, who always yelled about the whole world. You were so hungry at the age of 20. Wouldn't I have lived in vain for decades? He hummed, "Do you understand the law?"

The implication is that you are too young.

In fact, he was not wrong to think so. Han Yi was too young and was so young that when he was in his prime, he felt a little ridiculous when he said this from Han Yi.

But he never expected that Han Yi was just young on the surface and had no fewer bad ideas than him.

Moreover, his words inadvertently hurt Li Zhi deeply, because Li Zhi is young and is always treated with qualifications by ministers like these. Why is his relationship with Han Yi so close? The main reason is that the two are at the same age and have some experiences, which are similar. Although one is an emperor and the other is a field house, this does not prevent everyone from having a common language.

Han Yi said calmly: "Of course, there is no right servant who understands it, but I understand virtue. At the same time, I am also a law-abiding person. Every law-abiding person should have the power to talk about the law. The officials hope that the court can add a sacred gentleman contract to the "Yonghui Law"."

"The holy gentleman's contract?"

Li Zhi was very curious when he heard it.

"good!"

Han Yi smiled and said, "As the saying goes, a word is a promise of a thousand gold. This is very good, but these remarks mostly exist between gentlemen, which is the so-called gentleman's covenant. When a gentleman interacts with a gentleman, both parties keep their promises. When a villain interacts with a villain, it is a deception. But no matter what, these two kinds of interactions are equal.

However, when a gentleman interacts with a villain, this balance will be broken, because a gentleman believes that he must keep his promise, but a villain believes that he should be profit-oriented and regards integrity as bullshit. Then the one who suffers losses is of course a gentleman. Therefore, a gentleman will hate interacting with a villain very much. This is because when a gentleman faces a villain, he always suffers a gentleman.

But a gentleman can only verbally utter a few words, but his own interests are still being deprived of by villains. What is even more depressing is that in many cases, a gentleman must interact with villains, which is inevitable. Ordinary people see villains repeatedly gaining profits, but gentlemen give in step by step, so they will naturally be willing to be villains. This is not good news for me, the Tang Dynasty, and gentlemen will only become fewer and fewer. If Your Majesty wants to advocate the way of a gentleman, first of all, it is necessary to find ways to safeguard the interests of a gentleman so that a gentleman can survive better. Only in this way will the people be willing to be gentleman's way is not the way of a villain."

This is said very beautifully!

Changsun Wuji's eyes immediately lit up.

Even his mortal enemy Cui Yizhong nodded a few times, but immediately reacted and quickly lost his expression.

The rest of the people should not finish talking about it, especially those nobles, of course they all think that they are gentlemen and their opponents are villains. After thinking about it, they inexplicably feel that they are living too wronged.

Chu Suiliang was also speechless. What he said was indeed a very worthy of attention. And no one has ever explained the gentleman and the villain from this perspective. The saints all said that a gentleman is open and honest, and a villain is always worried. But the fact is that a villain has no worries about food and clothing, and a gentleman is wandering on the streets. If you don’t do this or that, then you just wait to starve to death.

Li Zhi nodded straight and smiled, "Your statement is very novel and reasonable. But how should we protect the interests of gentlemen?"

"Use the covenant of a gentleman to restrain villains, and to benefit the law, and to defend the interests of a gentleman. That is, contract."

Han Yi said seriously: "I have defined it as a sacred gentleman contract without authorization. Regarding contracts, our country's law focuses on land contracts and loan contracts, but this is all because of the equal land system of our dynasty, not from integrity. Moreover, there are few explicit provisions on repayment issues, and even no debts regarding interest recovery are accepted. In addition, the government does not have much right to intervene in the private contracts. Generally, they adopt mediation and private settlement. Even if the government makes a judgment, they will be ordered to private conscription rather than forced intervention by the government. That is, the law does not have too much binding on the contract, especially for some contracts that are not directly traded for money and goods.

Take this time, the merchants of the two cities tore up the cooperation contract with Beixiang for example. The property that was not involved in the contract was a joint cooperation contract. They found various excuses to betray the contract, and the law did not have any targeted regulations on this. But if I died in Beixiang, I would lose all my money. The reason for all this was that the merchants of the two cities betrayed the contract we reached. This contract does not have a legal effect and the government will not accept it. Then the ministers not only accept the order. In this case, how dare I cooperate with them again. If the contract is violated, they will suffer very serious consequences and will be forced to repay, will they still violate the contract so unscrupulously?

What Gao Shangshu said was very reasonable. The merchants in the two cities had never read books and were ignorant and could not understand the holy intention. But I believe they would have a very deep understanding of the law, no matter how profound it is written on it, because it is related to their wealth and life."

Gao Luxing's cheeks were burning when he heard it. This was really a naked sarcastic theory of foolishness. But he had no choice. It was a death sentence to disobeying the imperial edict. This was too much, so he came up with this worst.

Han Yuan said worriedly: "People disputes arise because of impulse, and each has its own opinions. It is difficult to say who is right or wrong. If they are all handled by law, they may have passed."

Han Yi said: "But if the law is not judged, the government will be even more difficult, because the court has not given officials a clear standard. Moreover, the officials emphasize integrity. The contract represents integrity, not money, and not quarrels. A gentleman is a promise of a thousand gold, while a villain is a promise of a thousand penny. No matter how small the promise is, a gentleman will abide by it, and no matter how big the promise is, a villain will not take it seriously. Our Tang Dynasty is a country of gentlemen and a country of etiquette. Protecting the interests of a gentleman is to safeguard the interests of our Tang Dynasty, and use the method of concluding contracts to restrain the behavior of villains, so that more people can keep their promises. Moreover, the government will be more calm when hearing cases, and will not be at a loss. Just execute the contract. I think it will not be a bad thing to do a great job of a gentleman."

Li Zhi nodded frequently when he heard this.

Xiao Jun, the counselor, stood up and said, "I think the proposal of the Royal Envoy is extremely feasible. The trust in the contract is dependent on both sides. One side keeps the trust and the other side does not believe. The result is no different from the fact that both sides do not keep their trust. Since the result of keeping trust is the same as not keeping trust, then whether to keep your trust or not will be so important. If the long run continues, more people will become untrustworthy, which will destroy the national etiquette system and use the law to restrain it is supposed to be."

It’s not a loss for the family! Han Yi immediately said: “Doctor Xiao is worthy of being a humble gentleman. He is not afraid of revenge from villains and bravely defends the interests of gentlemen. It is really admirable and admirable.”

This is so toxic. A gentleman defends a gentleman's interests. This is true. The key is that those who do not defend the interests of a gentleman are villains. Those who do not support Han Yi's suggestions are all villains.

Xiao Jun was speechless for a while. As a counselor, he was of course speaking and expressing his suggestions on current affairs.

But he doesn't want to be used by Han Yi.

Sure enough, a group of people immediately stood up and expressed their support for Han Yi's gentleman contract. They glanced at it and were basically the forces of the gentry. They were pretentious and thought they were gentlemen among gentlemen, so they had to support the gentleman contract.

Even Choi Yi-jung dared not jump out and sing against Han Yi again, and he still had to express his support.

Because Han Yi is clamoring for a gentleman contract, if you want to oppose this contract, it is to support villains, which will cause a lot of harm to their reputation as Cuishi in Qinghe. Needless to think about it, Han Yi will definitely promote it.

Even though the villains such as Li Yifu, Wang Dejian, and Xu Jingzong were not clear about whether this matter was good or bad, they had to come out to support it quickly. Especially Xu Jingzong was so depressed that he didn't want to support Han Yi, but this time he couldn't support it.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Zhi secretly laughed at him. It seems that my ministers are all gentlemen!

How could he not know whether he was a gentleman or not? But as an emperor, he was considering the overall situation. A gentleman, a villain must be put aside first. The imperial power is supreme. Suddenly, he looked at Changsun Wuji. Seeing that his uncle was still alive, he had neither objected nor agreed, nor agreed. No matter what he was thinking in his heart, he had to ask him about this matter. If he did not agree, he could not approve it. So he said, "I wonder what the Taiwei thinks about this?"

Changsun Wuji was very cautious and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks Han Yi is saying very reasonably." No matter who Li Zhi asked, the beginning was definitely this sentence, after all, no one wants to expose his image as a villain.

Speaking of this, he changed his subject and said, "But if you determine right and wrong based on this contract, isn't it arbitrary and unkind? This method comes from virtue. For example, if a fool is deceived by a cunning person and signs an extremely harsh contract, then will the government agree with this harsh contract?"

Han Yi immediately explained: "What the Taiwei said is very true, but this is not a contract, but a fraud. There is a very important premise for the sacred gentleman contract, that is, one party can obtain benefits in the contract, and at the same time, it must pay the other party an equal price. Only in this way can the contract be regarded as a sacred gentleman contract.

The so-called gentleman loves money and takes it well. Only villains will be greedy for cheapness or cheat others of money. For example, when the Taiwei celebrates his birthday, the low-ranking official gives the Taiwei a bottle of perfume as a gift, which is also a favor. The Taiwei is naturally a gentleman. Then when the low-ranking official celebrates his birthday, the Taiwei will definitely give me a gift that is equivalent or even higher than the price of perfume. This is the way of a gentleman. But if it is not sure, he will not give it, or give me a piece of cloth. The sacred gentleman contract is that he must follow the spirit of a gentleman, and the spirit of a gentleman includes morality."
