Section 32 The law is not lightly established3
After the luncheon, the afternoon session began with a surprisingly cooperative and strong demand that the matter of business legislation be discussed immediately. Moreover, it was out of control, and he strongly demanded to eat and live in the government, and he had to discuss it and then go back.
Liu Zhang can be regarded as having learned what it means to be free from business and treachery, and has learned the shamelessness and shrewdness of the family. You can't get rid of it, it's easy to ask God to send God, who let it be the one you took the initiative to invite. Other people's reasons are also very good, and this law of doing business has not been discussed and understood, so it cannot be walked. I'm afraid that I'll wait until I'm poor to eat, no problem, we'll give you money for food.
In fact, the head of every family is not given for nothing, and they are all top-notch. After a few days of discussion, I naturally knew the great role of the "Shu County Merchant Interim Regulations", which was later called the predecessor of the "Shangjia Law". Now that he knows the benefits, he naturally holds on to it, and of course he can't do it without discussing it, in case this hairy boy turns around and changes to another group of people to discuss, it will be a big loss.
One is that the family's economic interests may be damaged, and the other is that there will be huge losses of political interests.
Throughout the dynasties, since the existence of China, thousands of years, when it is the turn of the merchants themselves to discuss the legal issues of their own business, at most, there will be some involvement in the country's criminal law, which is also some fragmented provisions formulated by the state in order to regulate and suppress commercial behavior.
Letting the merchants discuss and formulate their own laws is definitely the first thing to do in the first place.
As the head of more than a dozen families represented by the merchants, of course, they know very well how important their current status is, and of course they are not willing to leave easily. The taste of power, like Liu Zhang's food, is unforgettable once you taste it, you must continue to eat and drink him here, and you have to quarrel with him and scold him.
Because, during the discussion, it was inevitable to argue and scold, and in the middle, Liu Zhang was sprayed the most.
Liu Zhang himself is not in business. Several industries have also been handed over to the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce to take care of, even before the crossing, he is just a computer, and business and the like are not compatible, so in the meeting discussion, often full of laymen, but bullish coaxing, everyone does not spray him.
It was also Liu Zhang's own thinking that legislation and the like were too simple.
When he was anxious, Liu Zhang thought of Zhang Song, this guy who couldn't stop when he saw him, and he didn't care whether Zhang Song was his descendant or not now, so he sent someone to find Zhang Song, and called Cai Yong, Guoyuan, Dong Fu and a group of other people, plus Xu Shu Shitao, to cheer for him together.
Since it is a commercial law, it must not be up to the businessmen to have the final say, just find these people to balance the businessmen's right to speak.
In short, this kind of guidance and good food and drink life really intoxicates everyone and makes everyone feel homesick.
also surprised Liu Zhang.
Once he was in power, he gave the order to do it.
Liu Zhang actually wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper and let these people toss by themselves. But Liu Zhang is a little cautious after all, and Xu Shu has been staring at him from the side, constantly nagging in his ear, the law is not light, the law is not light, since you want to stand, you must take a good pass, you must not be sloppy, you must not be sloppy.
Liu Zhang himself knows very well that legislation is very sacred, and the foundation must be laid, so he endures his stomach full of nausea and discomfort, and farts with these wealthy families every day. After a long time, I actually have a little friendship.
After being busy for more than half a month, this commercial law called the Interim Regulations of Shu County Merchants was newly released.
Article 1 of the Commercial Law, Enlightened and Enlightened, gives a very high evaluation to the status and role of merchants, and clearly states that the legitimate rights and interests of merchants are protected.
The opening said: Communicate the north and the south, the east and the west, the world to help the people, the trade and the people, all rely on the merit of the business, although it is profitable, but it is down. Self-interest and benefit others, communicate with each other, adjust the amount of money, the use of the business, can not be forgotten and not wasted.
If you have more businessmen, you will be rich, and if you have fewer businessmen, you will be poor.
Therefore, the legitimate personal property of the merchant is protected by the government and cannot be infringed upon.
The full text of this commercial law was later published in Dahan Xinbao and distributed nationwide. The trial area of the commercial law is limited to Shu County under Liu Zhang's rule, so it is called the Interim Regulations of Shu County Merchants.
Its main contents are as follows:
Merchants operate legally, and merchants need to be licensed by the government;
The rights and interests of the merchant are protected;
Private business activities are protected;
Merchants pay taxes uniformly in accordance with the law, and ban various fees in the past;
Individuals or organizations can apply for a patent for their inventions and creations with the government, and businesses must pay royalties for their inventions, or businesses can buy out patent rights.
Commercial disputes shall be adjudicated by the government, county and law arbitration.
Just when Liu Zhang was holding a meeting in the government to discuss the plan to make a fortune, one night, in the city of Chengdu, in a study room of a certain family, several people were also having a small meeting.
"Why hasn't the gentleman left yet?
"Isn't this waiting for you guys? You have a secret meeting at the government behind closed doors, and I have to figure it out before I can leave, and I can go back on a bad errand. Did you discuss the results there? ”
"It's not completely over yet, but a temporary regulation has just been issued, and here is a draft, so you can take a look at it first. In detail, Liu Zhang's kid said that he would publish it in the newspaper. As for cooperation, discussions will begin tomorrow. ”
"Okay, let the old man study and study it carefully. This shaft, this is a misinterpretation of the words of the sage, the sage said that the benefit of a hole, what he said is that the grace comes from the top, so that the country can be invincible. What kind of trick does this kid say, he really doesn't know how to make a difference. After this thing is really to be implemented, the people's will will not be ancient, and the pursuit of profit will come first. ”
"Sir, that's right. However, what Liu Zhang'er said is not unreasonable, although businessmen make profits, they do have the use of adjusting the amount and communicating with each other. We are a family and a lot of businessmen, so we naturally have relatives. ”
"Well, let him go. As for you and Liu Zhang to talk about cooperation, you have to give him more problems. Here's a little more time to hold him back. In the past few days, I have been living in your mansion, and I can help you with a detailed study in the morning and evening. ”
"Why, sir, don't you go to the camp in the north of the city? It's much safer there than I am, it's close to the government, there are a lot of people, it's hard to guarantee that the news won't leak, and when the time comes..."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful. As for General Wu, it was already unsafe, and Liu Zhang's subordinates had already smelled it and looked for it. The general, surnamed Wei, had some ability to lock on to the target so quickly. Fortunately, I took the first step, otherwise I would have really fallen into his hands. ”
"It's better for Mr. to leave early, although Liu Zhang'er is mediocre and incompetent, he still has a few capable people under him, especially that Xu Shu, who is very shrewd, if he is targeted, it will be very bad."
"Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, you just have to rest assured, since I dare to come, I am not unprepared. I still have other matters on my side, you just have to discuss the cooperation with the erector with peace of mind, and after the discussion has a result, I will leave and will not cause trouble for you. ”
