Chapter 794: This Time, the Prince of Qin Lost

Li Si was stunned now. He never thought that the other party would actually use the documents he gave him to deceive these noble ministers.

You know, although it stipulates that people should have some responsibilities when doing work.

But in other documents, the rights given to the people were also written. The most basic ones were that they could not be beaten or scolded, and their wages must be paid on time, etc.

There are also restrictions on noble ministers.

If these documents were taken out directly, I am afraid that these noble ministers would not agree.

But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually used this method to describe the part that should be responsible for the people as a disadvantage, and used it as a benefit to lure the nobles and ministers to take the bait.

He himself is a noble and has purchased the right to use the Mohist secret technique, so he naturally understands what these people think.

He said that those who work for him should not rest, eat or drink for twelve hours a day, let alone pay wages.

Just work for him and make money.

Of course, this is impossible.

So now these standards put forward by Zhao Lang himself are the standards they want to compete for.

But no matter how we argue, with this line, the bottom line for people's work will be preserved.

This is the purpose of His Highness the Crown Prince!

Thinking of this, Li Si glanced at Zhao Lang at the top with a slightly complicated expression. With such an imperial mentality of retreating in order to advance, your Majesty has taught a good prince!

Sure enough, even in the face of Zhao Lang's angry rebuke, there were still nobles who stood up in the face of the temptation of profit.

"Your Highness, these rules are actually for the benefit of the people of Great Qin."

"Let's just say that using documents to make an agreement can also prevent those merchants from delaying people's wages."

"As for illness, etc., it is not the fault of the businessman. If you don't work, you won't have money. This is extremely normal."

Soon, the nobleman clarified these rules one by one. At the end, the nobleman even said,

"Your Highness, I know that you care about the people, but you see, these venues, equipment, etc. were all invested by the merchants themselves."

"Those common people have not contributed anything except some of their own strength. Paying wages is already extremely merciful."

Hearing this, the nobles in the court all agreed,

"It's very true, if there is a loss, the people will not suffer any loss at all, and they will still get their wages."

"That's right! If you ask me, I should work five hours a day!"

"Well, one day off in five days is too much. Six...well, one day off in seven days is enough!"

Listening to the following words, Zhao Lang's fist immediately became hard!

What these people say makes sense at first glance. People do not have to pay for the space and machines.

But if he hadn't known that there is such a thing as "surplus value" in this world, he might have been led astray!

Thanks for the compulsory education in my previous life.

As expected, this group of nobles is not that easy to deal with. They have just developed the most rudimentary form and just want to eat people!

But this also strengthened his determination to legislate. If there is no law, these bastards can do even more outrageous things!

"Why, do you want the people of Great Qin to die from exhaustion? Why don't everyone go to work, and the fields are abandoned, what will you eat!?"

Zhao Lang could only deny their ideas from the perspective of harming people's livelihood.

No matter who it is, no one dares to touch this area of ​​interests easily. This is the foundation of the dynasty.

Sure enough, these people all wilted for a while after saying this.

But not everyone chose to give up. One of the ministers stood up and said,

"Your Highness, the people's livelihood cannot be affected, but...don't there still be many slaves in Da Qin who have no land?"

In an instant, all the ministers’ eyes lit up!

That’s right!

Didn't they just want to use these slaves for work at the beginning, so they compromised with the prince and launched a pilot program to eliminate the slaves of Great Qin?

Using these people will have almost no impact on the people's livelihood in Da Qin.

And these people don’t have land, so they can exploit these people even better!

Suddenly, everyone's thoughts started to spin, and at this moment, Zhao Lang's cold voice sounded,

"Prime Minister, what is your crime for slandering our people of Great Qin as slaves?"

Hearing this, all the noble ministers' expressions froze. Li Si sighed slightly, knowing that the other party had bumped into the prince's hand, and said,

"The crime of defamation, depending on the circumstances, may be punished by death or by reduction of rank..."

Before Li Si could finish speaking, Zhao Lang said coldly,

"Over there, you will be demoted to the third rank and kicked out of the court!"

After saying that, without giving everyone a chance to react, with a wave of his hand, a guard dragged the stunned nobleman down.

After the others left, Zhao Lang continued,

"No one in the Qin Dynasty is a slave. This matter cannot be questioned!"

Seeing that Zhao Lang was determined to kill the chicken to show the monkey, the noble was caught again, and the ministers and nobles could only swallow their breath at this time.

Only then, Zhao Lang knew that these nobles had changed their targets for exploitation, and those people who had just regained their freedom and had no land became their best targets!

It is impossible for him to completely achieve his goal.

Sure enough, even if some nobles were demoted, these people still refused to let go.

On the premise of not harming the Qin Dynasty, they have the determination and qualifications to argue with the 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 direction the other party was leaving with some worry. He knew that this time, Zhao Lang did not achieve the results he wanted.

In other words, this time, in the contest between the Crown Prince of Qin and the ministers, the Crown Prince of Qin lost.

When Zhao Lang left the court angrily, the noble ministers also left with satisfaction.

This time, they really won.

Li Si stayed behind, and after the other nobles had almost left, he walked towards Wang Jian and Meng Tian, ​​who had been closing their eyes to rest.

These two people are now the top marquises, but they didn't say a word in the court.

"Marquis Wucheng and Marquis Zhongxin, His Highness the Crown Prince has always respected the two of you. I would like to ask you two to also advise His Highness the Crown Prince on this matter."

"It doesn't matter if we didn't achieve our goal this time. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there are always gains and losses."

Li Si said at this time.

In Da Qin, the world has never been the world of the royal family, but also the world of ministers.

Zhao Lang is still too domineering.

Just hearing this, Wang Jian and Meng Tian both showed a smile. Wang Jian picked up the paper Zhao Lang had handed out before.

"The words on it are actually not important."

Li Si was stunned for a moment. Isn't this important? Isn’t this what the prince is here for? Didn't you see that you were so angry?

Meng Tian went on to say,

"This is the paper that matters."

The next moment, Li Si suddenly woke up,

Of course, there are still disputes about this matter, but at least there is a bottom line.

The most important thing is that there are laws to protect the people!

The law itself is the most important thing!

Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but murmured to himself.

"His Royal Highness, you even plot against me. I am your future father-in-law!"
