Chapter 1076: Taking History as a Mirror

If Zhu Cilang had not become emperor for a while, he would definitely think he would throw the workshop owner to a deserted island.

But it is not possible now, because he is now the emperor of a huge empire and cannot decide a person's life and death based on his own likes and dislikes.

The so-called emperor's words follow the law and expresses the constitution. For a foolish monarch, it is a right. If you want to be a wise monarch, then this is a responsibility.

Zhu Cilang was so happy that he took the people to the deserted island.

The result this time will be recorded by the minister and sent to all counties in the Ming Dynasty as a precedent. In the future, if someone encounters similar situations, they will be implemented according to Zhu Cixuan's disposal.

Then the slavery system of the Ming Dynasty and so on will be modified due to this precedent, and even the judicial interpretation of the Ming Dynasty law must be catered to Zhu Cilang's judgment idea.

Moreover, the core of this issue is not the case of the workshop owner, but everyone’s questions and thoughts about the slavery system of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty has been going through more than two hundred years. Including previous dynasties, this slave system has lasted for thousands of years. It is not enough for Zhu Cilang to say that he abandoned it all and became a good man.

Some people are not only not grateful, but even complain, and some people may even starve to death because they cannot eat after giving up the good food.

Not all the landlords and wealthy gentry class are full of evil deeds. They are either beaten or scolded when they are not treated like people, and even a very small number of them are beaten to death at any time.

Especially those who have children from families, who have been servants from a certain family for generations. Such a family is generally regarded as a confidant of their own people, and many of them grow up with the young ladies and sons of the family and form deep friendships.

So how can such a person have resentment? Besides, the servants of the rich and wealthy families, although he is just a slave, but the "seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister" and he is a servant in the rich and wealthy families, so he feels that he is superior to others.

If such people are given as good people, wouldn’t they lower their class? They are not only unhappy but also complain.

Some people starve to death if they can’t eat, which is the same as the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and even worse than the palace maids and eunuchs.

Some servants have been assigned a certain identity or a job since they were born, so they have been revolving around this matter all their lives, and they can't even do anything else, even doing laundry and cooking.

Once Fang Liang, a person who basically loses the ability to take care of himself, may not find a job and starve to death.

Of course, these various reasons are not the reason why the Ming Dynasty continued to maintain this slave system. Since there are problems, solve the problem, and if there are difficulties in life, just train and educate.

Therefore, such slaves who sign long-term contracts must be forbidden at least among the Han people. Of course, you cannot ignore the feelings between others, nor do you ignore the fact that others have indeed spent a lot of money to pay for it.

Therefore, after negotiation, Zhu Cilang decided to amend the Ming Dynasty's laws in the form of an imperial edict to officially change the employment relationship, which was January 1, 1st, the sixth year of the revival.

That is, the day of the Ming Dynasty's new tradition major news.

Starting from January 1, 1st year of Revival, long-term contracts between all citizens are prohibited. All labor contracts can be signed for up to five years. After five years, if both parties agree, they can renew them.

All long contracts before the revival six years will be modified into short contracts. If there is a contract fee exceeding the normal contract amount, it can be deducted through the contractor's working years. If it still cannot be repaid, it can be paid with part of the salary under negotiation between the parties.

However, in principle, no more than ten years, and the wages of the worker shall not be lower than the local minimum wage standard.

The Ming Dynasty law no longer recognizes any contract of slave relationships between citizens, nor does it recognize any form of non-blood relationships such as adopted sons and adopted daughters.

In the future, such cases will be tried in accordance with the Labor Contract Regulations.

The slave contract signed by non-citizens and citizens is protected by the Ming Dynasty, but the Han people, whether citizens or non-citizens, are not allowed to become slaves.

Of course, there are many specific legal provisions, and there are a large number of forms that determine salary standards and determine whether the contract amount exceeds the normal level.

Anyway, Zhu Cilang thought of everything he could think of. If there is any new situation in the future, I can only talk about it later.

The Ming Dynasty has begun to move from rule of man to rule of law. The law is the last fairness of the weak, and Zhu Cilang wants to take the lead in defending him.

After the last debate, the matter of sending or not sending the Jing'an army in Africa was put on hold again. The military headquarters was actually quite anxious. This involves the budget, and the expenses of 100,000 people are not a small matter.

If it can be approved before the New Year's Budget, it will save you the need to apply for special funds after the New Year.

However, Wu Sangui's words did make Zhu Cilang hesitate. No matter what his character is, what he said does make sense. There are only one or countless times of such things.

And after the first time, you can find a reason to use it every time.

If Zhu Ciyang could not eliminate such things in a system, then the Jing'an army of all ethnic groups in various places would appear one after another. Even when the Ming Dynasty reached a certain level of wealth, will the quality of soldiers decline?

Will the Jing'an Army be stronger than the regular army of the Ming Dynasty? Will they rely more on them? Then one day these people suddenly want to cause trouble. Can the Ming Dynasty stop it and how much price it will cost to stop it?

This is all a problem.

This is not an exaggeration, because the historical lessons of the Roman Empire and the Tang Dynasty are all there.

Rome too far to talk about the Tang Dynasty. Before An Lushan rebelled, did not one person discover this problem? Did no one advise Emperor Minghuang of Tang not to use these alien races?

Yes! There are still many such people, but the Tang Empire is short of people, and the system of government soldiers has collapsed. There is no extra land in the Tang Dynasty Pass that can be rewarded to new government soldiers.

People follow you to fight for money and land. If you have no land, who will fight for you?

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had his own grand plan to fight against the cannibals in the west, fight against the Uighurs in the north, suppress Tubo, and suppress the rising Martyr people in the northeast.

What should I do if I use troops in so many places without soldiers? I can only use alien soldiers. Foreign soldiers are so fooling. Just give me some things and some grasslands and you can pass it.

If these grasslands are distributed to the soldiers of the palace, see who will bird you.

So Emperor Xuanzong of Tang knew that there were risks, but because of the repeated battles, the repeated victory, and the repeated luck, the more he used it, the more he used it.

Will there be no such day in the future of the Ming Dynasty? So what if there are many smart people? You can't stop these people from using them. Now the new army of the Ming Dynasty is already in a state of high consumption.

Then it will only be higher in the future, and the new army will become more and more expensive. When there is no money, there will definitely be people who will continue to persuade the Jing'an army to use it in the future.

In the end, will it be detonated? That will definitely be!
