Chapter 126 Proposal to Draft Laws



Thinking of this, his admiration for King Jinrui Zhao was like a surging river, endless and continuous, and he even felt an urge to worship him.

He secretly pondered how such a comprehensive, meticulous, and flawless plan could have been conceived in that exceptionally intelligent mind.

The Emperor did not fully understand what Qin Qianluo meant. After all, many of the novel and unusual words used were ones he had never heard of before.

But he was, after all, the ruler of a country, possessing extraordinary wisdom and keen insight.

Upon closer listening, this plan resembles a meticulously crafted net, encompassing every aspect.

Every detail was meticulously considered, leaving not a single oversight.

The emperor was overjoyed, a radiant smile spreading across his majestic face, and he exclaimed, "This plan is brilliant!"

Haha, Minister Qin is truly a man of exceptional wisdom and quick wit! I am deeply gratified. To have such capable ministers as you as my advisors is a blessing for the court and a boon for the nation.

Your suggestion not only takes into account the fundraising for road construction, but also considers the interests of merchants and the safety of people's livelihood.

The steps are all interconnected and the considerations are thorough. I will certainly deliberate carefully and have someone arrange and implement it properly.

Qin Qianlu smiled faintly: "Your Majesty flatters me. I am truly unworthy of such an honor and am extremely humbled."

There is another important matter that I humbly request Your Majesty to consider: Your Majesty may promulgate detailed and comprehensive laws to clearly regulate the road construction and subsequent business operations of merchants.

For example, clearly define the boundaries of a merchant's rights after obtaining the right to sell and operate, as well as the responsibilities and obligations they should fulfill.

Especially in key areas such as price control and product quality, strict and clear rules and regulations need to be formulated.

If any merchant dares to break the law and violate its provisions, such as by privately raising prices or producing shoddy products, they will be punished.

Appropriate penalties must be imposed according to the severity of the offense, with no leniency or indulgence, in order to demonstrate the majesty and solemnity of the law and maintain a fair and orderly market.

Moreover, this law must be proclaimed to the world so that all merchants are clearly aware of their code of conduct and the consequences of violating the law, thus instilling a sense of awe and deterring them from easily crossing the line.

Only in this way can we ensure the steady and flawless implementation of all measures, thereby consolidating the foundation of our dynasty. We humbly request Your Majesty's wise consideration.”

Upon hearing this, the Emperor laughed even more heartily: "After careful consideration, I find your words to be very reasonable, each point hitting the nail on the head. This is a sound strategy for securing peace and stability for the country."

"Then I will proceed according to your plan, my dear minister. I will immediately issue an imperial edict instructing Prime Minister Tan to handle the matter with all his might, with the Ministry of Justice assisting, and that there must be no mistakes."

"Your Majesty is wise." After saying this, Qin Qian calmly returned to her original position, and there was no need for her to worry about the rest.

When you get home in a little while, just write down the detailed steps and give them to your father.

Qin Xiang and the officials of the Ministry of Justice responded one after another: "Your Majesty, we obey your decree. We will certainly do our utmost and live up to Your Majesty's trust."

The two princes and the eldest princess all turned their gazes to Qin Qianluo, who had returned to her original position, their eyes filled with admiration.

Thinking to himself, Qin Qianluo was able to come up with such an ingenious and comprehensive strategy. No wonder the Emperor favored her so much that he even broke the rule and made her a prince of a different surname.

Such talent and wisdom are beyond the reach of not only others, but also many officials in the imperial court.

Ning Yu also returned to his position with satisfaction. At this moment, he secretly rejoiced that he had not rushed back to his fiefdom, otherwise he would have missed such a good opportunity.

Now all we need to do is wait for the capital to begin implementation, and then we can simply copy it back.

He seemed to already see the beautiful scene of prosperous commerce, smooth roads, and wealthy people in his fiefdom under the implementation of this strategy, and his heart was full of anticipation and longing.

Just as Qin Qianluo took her place, 001 asked, "Luo Bao, what you just described was roughly a modern business model. Will His Majesty understand it?"

"That's alright. I'll go back and carefully review what I just said."

After all, these things had already been tested back in Jinxiu County, so organizing them wouldn't be a difficult task. Just write them down and give them to my father.

001 muttered with some disdain, "None of these officials can come up with a solution; they have to rely on Luo Bao. Can they really understand the *Tiangong Kaiwu*?"

Qin Qianlu smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the ancients. They just lived in a different era and had relatively limited knowledge. Besides, nowadays, people value scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants."

Merchants held a rather low social status, and most scholars and writers disdained to learn about business.

But this does not mean they are stupid. You should know that Song Yingxing, the author of "Tiangong Kaiwu", was also an ancient person.

However, the wisdom and knowledge contained in his works still have extremely high research value even in modern times.

Moreover, those who can enter the imperial court as officials are all capable and ambitious individuals who have undergone rigorous selection processes; they are by no means the incompetent people you imagine.

001 blinked and didn't argue further. Luo Bao was right. It shouldn't have looked down on the wisdom of the ancients. It had gone astray and shouldn't have done that.

"Luo Bao, I understand now. I was wrong."

Upon hearing 001's words, the ministers exchanged bewildered glances, and then expressions of shame appeared on their faces.

Indeed, none of the civil and military officials in the court could come up with a feasible solution; instead, they had to rely on King Jinrui Zhao.

However, upon hearing King Jinrui's protective reply, everyone felt a surge of warmth in their hearts, and a relieved smile gradually appeared on their faces.
