Quan Yuxun thought for a moment and said apologetically, "I really haven't heard of it."
Tan Tai Qing was about to be overjoyed when Quan Yuxun added, "But just because I haven't heard of it doesn't mean the empire doesn't have such a basic law."
"For those of us studying law, the most important thing is to learn the spirit of the law and the principles of legislation."
"As long as you thoroughly understand the spirit of the law and the legislative principles, you will understand all laws without having to learn the specific legal provisions."
"Also, we learned in law school that the Empire did pass some basic laws regarding the foundation of the nation when it was first established."
"These basic laws are very old and have no relevance to the daily lives of ordinary citizens. Therefore, law school professors only mention them briefly but never discuss them in detail."
"Now, if there are cases involving these fundamental laws from the founding of the country, we can apply to the Senate to unlock these fundamental laws and bring them up for discussion."
Tan Tai Qing was surprised: "...Really?!"
Quan Yuxun nodded.
Mr. Zong said impatiently, "Then hurry up and apply! Transfer it over right away so everyone can see it."
"The three of us are usually very busy, so it's rare for us to get together. Since everyone is here today, let's get this matter resolved."
Quan Yuxun did not refuse and directly sent a message to Li Hengchang, the Speaker of the Senate.
Li Hengchang saw his message, checked various procedures, and gave him permission.
Quan Yuxun can use this authority to go to the Senate's database and search for early basic laws related to the ownership of the Exotic Beast Forest.
Soon, he found this basic law, sent it to his quantum optical computer account, then pulled out a virtual display screen and shared it with everyone through video conferencing.
Grandpa Quan took a quick look and said curiously, "Huh? There really is a basic law about the Exotic Beast Forest!"
The female clerk, Ms. Xing, couldn't help but take a quick look.
Quan and Xun use their own shared virtual display screen for display, so unless everyone records the video, the message cannot be saved.
Mr. Zong, Su Yanxing and Tan Taiqing were all silent.
Quan Yuxun explained, "According to this basic law, the entire Exotic Beast Forest, located on Guiyuan Star, including its detailed longitude and latitude, belongs to Qisha and her descendants."
"All the produce of the Exotic Beast Forest belongs to Qisha and her descendants."
"The Empire shall never impose any form of taxation on the Beast Forest, including but not limited to real estate tax, property tax, and natural resource tax."
"The transfer of ownership of the Exotic Beast Forest must be based on the principle of voluntariness. There must be no deception or coercion."
“Once discovered, the property transfer will be invalid.”
"Under no circumstances shall the Exotic Beast Forest be transferred to anyone from the Tantai Imperial Family."
"The Tantai royal family must not attempt to infringe upon the Exotic Beast Forest by any means."
"Guarantors: Grand Duke Quan Zhongxing of the Quan family and his successors, Grand Duke Zong Sucheng of the Zong family and his successors, Grand Duke Su Bogu of the Su family and his successors, and Chief of the Imperial Clan Affairs Bureau, Tan Taizhe, and his successors."
Quan Yuxun couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The three grand dukes who guaranteed it happened to be the first grand dukes of their three families back then!
For example, Quan Zhongxing, Quan Yuxun knew that this was the name of his ancestor!
This name is still enshrined in the ancestral hall of the ancestral home.
The others, Zong Sucheng and Su Bogu, were also the first grand dukes of the Zong and Su families at that time.
The Grand Duke was granted the title at the beginning of the founding of the country.
The only thing he was not familiar with was the clan leader of the Zongrenfu.
But this person lived ten thousand years ago and should be the ancestor of the royal family.
The more he read, the more interesting it became.
What were people thinking back then?
Why was an area of real estate designated in the entire Beichen galaxy as a place that the Dantai royal family was not allowed to touch?
You must know that in the entire Beichen galaxy, all places occupied by the Beichen Empire, theoretically, belong to the Tantai royal family.
However, when Tan Tai Lin founded the country, he made an agreement with the upper nobles of the empire that the royal family had no priority or ownership over the existing properties of the nobles, but only had priority over unowned land.
In other words, the royal family of the Beichen Empire cannot occupy the land without reason and must sign a legally binding land transfer contract.
Such a transfer contract must be completely voluntary, and the procedure is very cumbersome.
So much so that if it is not truly voluntary, few people can go through the entire process.
This also guaranteed the interests of the major nobles to the greatest extent and prevented the imperial power from arbitrarily encroaching on their property.
