Chapter 254: The emperor violates the law and commits the same crime as the common people? [Please subscribe]

"Other way?"

Zhao Hao was stunned.

In his opinion, Li Si, like the First Emperor, was a militant.

Why did the First Emperor and Lu Buwei have a conflict?

It is because Lu Buwei's policy is relatively conservative that he felt that Qin could slowly kill the six countries and erode the six countries without having to do his best to destroy the six countries in one fell swoop.

And this is naturally impossible to be accepted by the First Emperor.

Then why was Li Si reused by the First Emperor?

It is because Li Si and the First Emperor's idea that he felt that if Qin had the strength to destroy the six countries, he should do his best to destroy the six countries. As for the Qin capital consumed by the six countries, he didn't care at all.

How could such a person be a kind person?

Therefore, when Zhao Hao heard Li Si's words, he was very surprised and couldn't help but laugh and joked: "Is it because Li Tingwei still has the kindness of a woman?"

"Oh!"

Li Si shouted, shook his head and smiled, "Young Master misunderstood me. I don't oppose war plunder, but I just think that the young master should have other ways."

"cough"

Zhao Hao coughed lightly and said with a smile: "In fact, it doesn't have to be plundered by war."

"."

Li Si thought it was true, but he asked with interest: "What else can I do?"

"Li Tingwei has also seen the map of the nine continents in the world. In fact, in addition to the border barbarians such as the Xiongnu, the Donghu, the Dayuezhi, the Qiang people, and the Yue people, there are many Western Region countries, which are not far from us;

As long as these Western Regions countries become vassal states of the Qin Dynasty and provide food for the Qin Dynasty, it is actually the same!"

"this"

Li Si's eyes widened, his face full of incredible feelings.

Zhao Hao smiled and said meaningfully:

"If the imperial court has enough food, it will naturally not increase the taxes of the Guizhou leaders. It can even provide certain help to those Guizhou leaders who cannot live and distribute relief grain to them. In this way, will the problem be solved?"

"Young Master, don't joke with me!"

Li Si frowned and said with some displeasure: "Food is an important material in any country. If you want those vassal states to provide food unless you completely conquer them, what is the difference between this and war plunder?"

"What's more, transporting grain from long distances is also a troublesome thing. It is impossible for them to transport grain from thousands of miles away."

"The land transportation is definitely troublesome, but the sea transportation is different. We don't let all vassal states provide food, just pick some vassal states with rich products and backed by the sea!"

"As for how to make the vassal states provide food, there is no need to completely conquer them. You just need to choose a thorn and kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"

"What is a vassal state? To put it bluntly, it means being afraid of the military power of the sect leader and dependent on the sect leader's wings!"

Li Si looked at Zhao Hao without any objection, frowned and said, "Even if it is a vassal state, it is impossible to just ask for it and not give it back, right?"

"I didn't say I won't pay back!"

Zhao Hao spread his hands: "They pay tribute to our food, and we can just repay them with other things, such as tea, cloth, and fine salt.

"Or it can be changed to coins. Anyway, just don't let them feel that they are at a disadvantage."

"Coins? What coin?"

Li Si was slightly stunned and looked at Zhao Hao in confusion.

Zhao Hao slapped his forehead and said with some amusement, "I almost forgot that Li Tingwei didn't know about Baochao, but this is not important, I will know it in the future."

Li Si: "."

Zhao Hao: "."

Both of them looked at each other without saying a word.

After a while, Li Si shook his head helplessly, returned to his seat, looked at Zhao Hao and said:

"Since the young master is confident, I will not ask more questions. I will report to Your Majesty truthfully about the reform of the official system."

As he said that, he suddenly remembered something and shouted outside the door: "Come in another picture!"

"promise."

He shouted outside the door and quickly carried a new board picture in.

Zhao Hao looked carefully and found that it was the outline of the law's modification, and he couldn't help but say:

"Li Tingwei's method is really exquisite as the outline of Qin law. Li Tingwei compiled the "National Law" by himself, and Hao admired it!"

After saying that, he bowed to Li Si.

Li Si smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Young Master is too good. If it weren't for your previous reminder, I would not have compiled this "National Law".

"Has my father ever reviewed this "National Law"?"

"not yet."

Li Si shook his head and then smiled and said, "If the young master thinks it is appropriate, your Majesty should not object."

"This is hard to tell. No one can figure out my father's temper."

"hehe."

Li Si smiled without comment, and then continued: "The young master thinks, what else is missing in this "National Law"?"

"I'll take a look."

Zhao Hao said, stood up from behind the seat, walked to the front of the board map, checked one by one, and murmured to himself: "From the abolition of the joint seat, from the date of the promulgation of the law, all mortals who are detained for the joint seat will be released without acquit."

"The National Law is the general outline of Qin's laws, and no laws shall violate the essential intentions of the National Law."

"."

Isn't this a constitution?

Zhao Hao was shocked when he saw this.

He did not expect that the "National Law" modified by Li Si was similar to the later constitution.

This is damn!

It's simply amazing!

No wonder this old fox asked himself, which one should go first, imperial power or law?

If the Constitution is used to govern the country, it is definitely the Constitution above everything else.

Even if it is imperial power and government orders, they must give way to the Constitution.

Of course, this "National Law" is still different from the later constitutions. After all, one is a feudal society and the other is a modern society. Whether it is politics, economy, military, or even culture, it is very different.

However, the purpose of the National Law is the same as that of the Constitution, both to consolidate and safeguard state power and to enable the country to operate better.

For the Qin Dynasty, which governs the country according to law, it lays the foundation for the unification of the legal system.

In addition, Li Si also wrote the human rights mentioned by Zhao Hao when discussing politics into the constitutional outline, such as human rights and freedoms.

The so-called freedom of human rights means enjoying certain rights within the scope stipulated by the Qin Dynasty laws, such as property rights, inheritance rights, education rights and other personal rights.

This was something Zhao Hao had never expected, and he couldn't help but feel excited: "Li Tingwei is worthy of being a representative of the Legalists. The compiled "National Law" opened Hao's eyes!"

"only."

As he said that, he paused and showed a bitter face: "Hao was a little worried. Can this "National Law" allow my father to agree?"

"how?"

Li Si raised his eyebrows a little funny: "Young Master is not confident in Your Majesty now?"

"Well"

Zhao Hao scratched his face awkwardly.

Before, Li Si had no confidence in the First Emperor, and he couldn't help but tease Li Si. Now, seeing the "National Law" compiled by Li Si, he couldn't help but lose confidence in the First Emperor.

After all, there are many things in this "National Law" that rebelled against the king.

You should know that the monarchs in feudal society are supreme existences, and they are above the law.

You can ignore the law.

In some places, this "National Law" not only restricts the monarch, but also writes out that "the monarch breaks the law and the common people are the same."

"I didn't expect Li Tingwei to be so bold. In fact, there is no need to be so bold and can be modified slowly."

Zhao Hao said with a smile.

Li Si glanced at him and said seriously: "How can the "National Law" be changed every day? Or it doesn't change it, and if it wants to change it, how can it be implemented if it is revised slowly?"
