Chapter 1108: East and West (101)
Jing Shou stepped in, bowed to Gao Yuan, turned his head and nodded to the two political consultants. He was the official of the * House of Justice, nominated by Gao Yuan and approved by the Grand Council. As long as he did not make mistakes, he could hold this position for life. He was no less than the two political consultants. Nodding, he was considered a greeting.
These senior officials are familiar with Gao Yuan's nature and know that he doesn't like the red tape. After seeing the ceremony, they found a brocade stool and sat down. He Weiyuan was already quick to bring tea for Jing Shou, and also changed another cup for Wu Kai and Wu Qi.
"Your Majesty, I have transferred the case file to the case you ordered and reviewed it specifically." Jing Shou said in a deep voice.
"What do you think?" Gao Yuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked at Jing Shou.
"My dear fellow ministers think there is nothing wrong with the judgment of the judge in Jicheng Court." Jing Shou said straightforwardly.
"Even you don't think you're wrong?" Gao Yuan was a little disappointed. He put the teacup on the table, held his fingers with his upper body slightly tilted back. Wu Kai was very familiar with Gao Yuan. He knew that Gao Yuan had this action, so he was extremely disappointed and angry.
"What's going on? What's the case?" Wu Kai immediately interrupted and asked. This should not be a big case, otherwise it would not be a judgment from Jicheng Junior Court.
"Oh, that's it. Jiang Dalang, a merchant of Jicheng who has been using soapcorn soap powder, invested nearly 1,000 taels of silver for three years and developed a new product called soap. Unexpectedly, before it was officially put into production, the Ke family poached the master in charge of the development high salary. The Jiang family filed a lawsuit with Jicheng Court, but was sentenced to be sentenced to be held. The Jiang family naturally dissatisfied, so they gathered relatives and friends over three days and fought with the Ke family." Jing Shou briefly introduced the case to Wu Kai.
"How can this be? The Ke family is too unethical." Wu Kai was dumbfounded. Wu himself was a big businessman. Over the years, he had been rich in the world with the secret brewing recipes provided by Gao Yuan. Of course, Jing Shou could not understand the importance of these secret recipes.
"Old Wu, how did you ensure that your master will not be poached?" Gao Yuan looked at Wu Kai and asked.
"Your Majesty, our Wu family has been operating the wine industry for many years. All the important recipes are controlled by the direct descendants of my Wu family. All the masters are surnamed Wu, and their family affection is naturally the greatest guarantee. Secondly, the treatment of these masters is also excellent. In my Wu family, the status of these masters is not even comparable to that of the descendants of our family." Wu Kai said.
"It turns out that it is also maintained by family affection!" Gao Yuan nodded.
From Gao Yuan's words, Wu Kai heard some disappointment, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Of course, we also have some other means, this is not very good to say."
Gao Yuan nodded and expressed his understanding that a large family like Wu, who has been standing in the business world for many years, naturally had some means that are not for foreigners. Now, as a founding hero of the Han Dynasty, the Wu family is at its peak. Who dares to make their decisions?
"Yes, with the power of Wu, outsiders do not dare to make any decisions, but the Jiang family is just a small business and has no background. The Ke family naturally has no scruples when it comes to doing it."
Jing Shou heard Gao Yuan's tendency, but as the official, he did not care about this at all. Looking at Gao Yuan, he said: "The King, from a reasonable point of view, the Ke family is unauthentic and immoral. However, from a legal point of view, there is no legal provision that says that the Ke family is wrong in doing this. It is only possible to prohibit it without any law. The minister investigated the master of the Jiang family. He neither signed a labor contract with the Jiang family nor signed a confidentiality agreement. He was purely free and free to come and go. The Ke family hired him with a high salary. He abandoned the Jiang family and joined the Ke family. From a legal point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. I also sympathized with the Jiang family, but I could not rule out the Jiang family to win."
Gao Yuan nodded, "From the current law of our great man, this is indeed the case, but it also reminds us of one thing: above the law, this is a big loophole."
He took a long breath and said slowly: "Our Han Dynasty strongly encourages innovation and technological updates. This is also the reason why our Han Dynasty is far ahead of Qin and Chu in industry and commerce. But if a family spends money, time, and works hard to develop a new technology, but it is easily taken away by someone, think about it, who will do such thankless things in my Han Dynasty in the future? Everyone is waiting for others to do it and then poach people. Lao Wu, what would you do if your master is poached?"
Wu Kai said, "To be honest, if this happens to the Wu family, I am afraid that the defector master will be unable to protect his life, and those who dig out my corner will also encounter a lot of trouble."
Leaving this sentence, Wu Kai ignored Jing Shouheng's cold eyes and said to himself: "If you don't punish such behaviors severely, will everyone follow your example in the future!"
Gao Yuan looked at Jing Shou, "Look, this will lead to other cases, and it will be a criminal case. Lao Wu, I don't care about what happened before, and this will definitely not happen to the Wu family in the future. You have a high position and power, and there are many people watching you. Don't leave any talk to others."
"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Wu Kai bowed and said, "The king summoned Judge Jing to come today, just to talk about this?"
"Yes, this incident reminds us that we must legislate to protect those who dare to invest in technological innovators, and those who want to get something for nothing must be severely punished. Otherwise, if this continues, our great man will inevitably stagnate in technology, or everyone will be in danger. In the end, what Lao Wu said just now will inevitably happen, killing the defector and killing all of them, but the people they killed are all scientific and technological talents of the great man!"
"I understand what the king means." Jing Shou said: "But the matter of legislation is the matter of the Grand Parliament."
"You Jing Shou will lead this matter and submit patent legislation to the Grand Parliament. There are many great members and businesses in the Grand Parliament. You can use this case as a case to explain the importance of this matter to them. Tomorrow, two Lord Wu, you will propose to convene the Grand Parliament tomorrow. All members in Jicheng must participate. This matter should not be too late." Gao Yuan waved his hand.
"I understand." Jing Shou nodded and said, "But the case of Wang Shang and Jiang Ke cannot be reversed, and can only be judged according to the current standards."
"Isn't this arousing evil deeds?" Wu Kai slapped the table and shouted.
Gao Yuan raised his palm, "It is only possible to prohibit the law without explicit order. Leave the case of Jiang Ke and the two families to me! But I hope that such a thing will not happen again in the future. The sooner the patent protection law is issued, the better."
Compared with the lifeless Jiang family, the Ke family, which is on the same street, is full of joy. A friend of the Ke family works as a clerk in the * Court. Yesterday, when Jing Shou, the official of the * Court of Jicheng, retrieved the case files of the Jiang Ke family's two families, the Ke family was extremely worried. But today, after the clerk's friend heard the sentence of the * Officer, Ke Zhen, the owner of the Ke family, finally put his heart back in his stomach.
It is only possible to do without prohibition of law. This is the judgment of the official, which also means that the Jiang family will never be able to turn over the case again, because the judgment of the official is basically the final judgment.
"Master Ning, this time I'll put my heart back in my stomach. Before this, I consulted friends who understand the law. Now the official said that you will do it well in my Ke family. You will own 10% of the shares in my Ke family's store. At the same time, I will increase your monthly salary by 20%. How about it?"
The defected Master Ning also breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, I will do my best to my boss's business in the future."
"It's our business." Ke Zhen laughed, "Come on, put the wine and food, I'll stop drunk with Master Ning."
Before the meal was ready, there was a hustle and bustle coming from outside. Ke Zhen's eldest son rushed in with panic on his face, "Dad, dad, it's not good."
"What's wrong? Did Jiang Dalang bring someone to call again? I think he really wants to go to jail, so you can report the case quickly."
"No, yes, it's the palace guard."
"What did you say?" Ke Zhen could hardly believe his ears. As a commoner, let alone the royal palace, even the prefect of Jicheng was far away from him." The palace guard?"
"Yes, a few palace guards came outside, saying that they would be ordered by the king and ask Daddy and Master Ning to enter the palace."
When he heard this, Master Ning's legs became weak and he had already collapsed on the ground. Ke Zhen tried to calm down, pulled Master Ning up, and whispered: "Official Jing* has made a judgment. The king is the most wise, and it will never be because of this."
"If it's not this, what else can it be?" Master Ning's teeth were fighting up and down, and the princess was making a sound.
When the two of them walked out of the house with a gray face, they happened to see the other end of the street. Jiang Dalang also walked over with the protection of several guards. Seeing Ke Zhen and the others, Jiang Dalang's eyes turned red, and he wanted to rush over with one of his hands, but was caught by the guards beside him and could not move. After a few stern warnings, Jiang Dalang no longer dared to move, but just took a pair of eyes that were about to spit out of fire and stared at the two of them fiercely.
"Don't be afraid, Lao Ning, the king's edict once said that even he could not change the judgment of the Court. Since the official said that we are not illegal, the king would not do anything to us. Our king is the most wisest." Although he was upset in his heart, Ke Zhen still tried to calm down.
