The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"What news?" the veteran asked.

"Goguryeo people, they are coming towards our border. I'm afraid we can't prevent them. I advise you to escape." The deserter suggested.

"Can you be sure of the news?" the veteran asked.

"Yes," the deserter nodded and said.

"My dear friends, really, I use my life as a guarantee." The deserter said excitedly.

"Well. We see. You can leave as soon as you finish eating." The veteran said to the deserter.

"This." The deserter still wanted to let the veteran escape.

"Let's go," the veteran waved and said.

"I'll take care of this matter." The veteran waved his hand to let the deserter leave here. Without any choice. The deserter could only take food, turned the kettle and left, and walked in the direction of Qin.

"Brother. What shall we do?" At this time, a soldier asked.

"Go back and report to the sir. If we can, we will never let the Goguryeo people succeed like this, **** it. I want to kill some of them." The veteran said with some annoyance.

"Yeah." The soldier nodded. In the eyes of Yan people, they can lose on the Korean battlefield, but they will never let the Goguryeo people chase their own territory. This is absolutely intolerable. Just for the dignity of Yan State, he must also repel the opponent on the border.

The poplar trees on both sides of the Hexi Corridor kept retreating, and Shang Wen looked at the poplar trees outside the ship and said to Mo Li beside him.

"Do you know the spirit of the law?" Shang Wen asked.

"I don't know." Mo Li shook her head and said. He handed Shang Wen a cup of tea, and Shang Wen looked at the tea with some distress.

"Sweetened." Mo Li said to Shang Wen. Mo Li knew that Shang Wen did not want to drink tea. So I added sugar to the tea. Ordinary people drink tea, if they add sugar, they can only add brown sugar, that is, ordinary sugar imported from Chu, because they cannot further process brown sugar into white sugar. Qin State's deep processing technology and equipment can further process brown sugar into white sugar. Then the sugar was sold back to Chu State. Or other places. This is Qin's method of maintaining high bargaining prices.

Shang Wen nodded. Express my gratitude to Mo Li.

"Law is not a deliberate invention, but a demand. The development of business and trade can only be based on an orderly, stable and peaceful environment. Order cannot be defined by vague morality, because morality is very vague. There is no clear concept. Just like your Mohists, you can oppose wars for the sake of morality and justice, but all wars are highly prejudiced. If this is the case, society will not be able to progress." Shangwen said.

"You still talk about the law. I don't want to entangle you for a day on this moral issue." Mo Li said to Shang Wen.

"Yeah." Shang Wen nodded.

"Commercial trade activities rely on credit, and the place where credit is embodied is the contract. What they pay is what they get, and the same is true for us. Then this contract spirit gradually expands and becomes a kind of social atmosphere, becoming a community. This kind of system. This is the spirit of the law, the contract. You have to abide by the content, effectiveness, your rights, and your obligations of the contract. These are things you need to know clearly and clearly." Shang Wen continued.

"Similarly, this spirit of contract is embodied in the State of Qin. It's just that the spirit of law in the State of Qin is not a contract, but a constraint. A downside." Shang Wen said.

"Now, Qin's commercial and trade activities are more and more frequent, and many economic activities are based on the original legal basis and further transformed into the spirit of contract." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, it means that Qin’s legal spirit has changed. In other words, he was successfully transformed into a contractual spirit because his economic foundation has been greatly changed. Agriculture is no longer part of this country. Economic foundation, and commercial activities have become the biggest supporter of this country's finances." Shang Wen said.

"As a result, the spirit of the law has been greatly changed." Shang Wen continued.

"Then?" Mo Li then asked.

"Then, commercial and trade activities are carried out in accordance with contracts. Furthermore, Qin’s legal spirit begins to change, because the economic foundation determines the superstructure. Since the economic needs are a contractual spirit, rights and obligations are naturally, For example, in the election of the prime minister of Qin, it is his right for the people of Qin to elect you. After you are elected, you must fulfill the contract reached between you and the voters. What is this contract is what you want to do, otherwise , Is infringing on the rights of these voters, and you yourself have not fulfilled the obligations you should perform in the contract. This is a violation of the contract, and in accordance with the spirit of the violation of the contract, you will step down." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"Qin is like this now, and I think the Six Nations should be like this too. However, the situation in the Six Nations may be more special." Shang Wen said.

"Special?" Mo Li asked.

"Yes, special." Shang Wen said.

"The special point is that their legal system, their legal system is very imperfect, and the law is aimed at civilians, not aristocrats. The nobles enjoy too many privileges. What countries lack is the civilian spirit, which violates the rights of civilians. Too much." Shang Wen said to Mo Li.

"Yeah. This point of your opinion is consistent with that of our Mohist school." Mo Li nodded and agreed with Shang Wen's opinion.

"So, what I think is, can we influence the laws of various countries through some other methods, for example, there are laws such as special trade regulations to affect the laws of Egypt as a whole, or to create a sense of self-protection of civilian rights. This is the only way. , I think it can protect the general rights of the people." Shang Wen said.

"What do you plan to do?" Mo Li asked.

"My thought is whether it is possible to stipulate the legal spirit of each country in the international treaty." Shangwen said.

"For example, trade, tariffs, and related systems, etc., after all, this is directly related to the trade relations of various countries. With such a connection, it is directly related to the interests of various countries. I think they may make greater concessions. In other words, they may change more. In order to protect the rights of their business organizations or business individuals. Only in this way can they have more taxes." Shang Wen further said. For this idea, Shangwen is only a rudimentary form, because Shangwen's current trade lacks a kind of protection, a kind of protection in the legal sense.
