Chapter 1397 Merchant Regulations

Seek common ground while reserving differences?

Everyone was stunned, looking at Han Yi in confusion, completely unable to understand.

Although Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian had never heard of it, they had discussed this matter carefully yesterday, so they could probably understand it.

Han Yi smiled and said, "What we want to seek common ground while reserving differences is actually literal. To put it bluntly, many people here make a living by letting go of horses and sheep, while most of the people in the Central Plains make a living by arable land. How can we coexist in a country? First of all, we must respect each other's culture, beliefs, and customs, and we cannot be hostile and contempt like before. Everyone is the people of the Tang Dynasty and are equal. Should people who arable land be nobler? Or should people who grazing land be nobler? This makes no sense at all."

This is so popular that everyone nodded frequently and could not agree.

Because they are the despised by the Hu people, the people in the Central Plains have looked down on them since ancient times. Of course, this has nothing to do with arable land and grazing, and it is mainly etiquette and human ethics. People in the Central Plains often regard the Hu people as uneducated races.

This is also an important contradiction in the dispute between Hu and Han.

Han Yi said again: "Then again, the court has realized that the Central Plains has obtained some etiquette and laws, which do not apply to the northwest region. It is obviously not feasible to require the people here to be the same as the people in the Central Plains. Therefore, the court decided to re-establish a system that applies to the northwest based on the customs and customs here. For example, the ranch agreement, the ranch agreement has the same effect as the equal-field system in the Central Plains, but the differences and similarities exist, which is to seek common ground while reserving differences."

This is a major foreign policy of Premier Zhou, which is very classic and has always been China's main diplomatic policy. Only those with great wisdom can think of this classic concept. Of course, Han Yi cannot think of it, so he borrowed it for conflicts between nations.

Wu Kelie and the others nodded repeatedly when they heard this. It is an indisputable fact that the Tang Dynasty had ruled here. Under this premise, it would be great if they could respect each other, understand each other, and regard them as consistent.

However, there is another key point in Han Yi's words, which is to re-customize a new system, that is, to establish rules. This was rare in the past. The Tang Dynasty ruled foreign races, not to kill them all, nor to forcibly implement the Han system, but to enthrone the Khans to rule them. As long as you are obedient, don't cause me trouble.

Wu Kelie said, "I wonder how the court plans to re-formulate a new system?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "About this point, the court only put forward a basic and an intention. The basic is that everyone is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who endangers national security or divides the country is definitely illegal, unacceptable, unforgivable, and this basically cannot be changed and there is no room for negotiation. An intention refers to whether the rules can be formulated from the perspective of buying and selling."

A chief said, "Brother Han, we don't understand this very much!"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Simply put, everyone will make the rules together, but after making the order, you must abide by them. The government will implement the rules you set."

Wu Kelie was so stupid when he heard this. The court was so good. We asked us to make the rules and said, "Brother Han, do you take this seriously?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Didn't I say before? Seeking common ground while reserving differences. Many officials of the court do not know much about the customs and culture here. If you want them to book, they can only book according to the rules of the Central Plains. You are the people who know the best here. You can also represent the people here. Of course it is the best. In fact, it is not that it is up to you, but that you represent the tribes."

"What does this intention mean?"

"I mean to provide you with an idea. If you don't agree, it's OK. I think that since trading is the connection between the Central Plains and here, it is centered on trading and setting rules, and it is also convenient for everyone to trade and contact. In addition, the situation we have just seen, Persian merchants rely on their sufficient supply of goods and are cheap, so they can sell them at a low price. As a result, other rouge shops cannot be opened and then went bankrupt. When there is only one rouge shop left in the entire Protectorate, the Persian merchants will definitely raise the price, and everyone can only buy it here. In fact, there are many problems in the transactions. With the close trade, these problems will become more and more. Rules must be set to protect the interests of every people, which is also the main purpose of my trip."

Han Yi continued: "I said earlier that the ranch agreement and road construction policy are all for the people here to settle down, but I didn't expect it to be so successful. Since this is the case, we should continue to move forward. Then we need to improve this policy. Legislation is a must, and there are safety issues. If there are robbers on the road, who dares to come? These need to be improved so that we can do more and more vigorously."

Wu Kelie and the Sogdians were very excited to hear it. They set the rules based on trading as the center. This sounded very exciting, and said, "I agree with this, but how can I establish this rule?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "I have already drafted a detailed blueprint for you to use as a reference."

A big man said, "Since you have written everything, please do as you say."

When I saw this person, I was just a person who didn't like to use his brain.

"no!"

Han Yi raised his hand and said, "You must nod and agree to every rule before it can take effect. If it is decided by me personally, someone will inevitably push the charges down. I will never take the blame. I will only provide one intention. You can order the specific one yourself."

Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian secretly praised him. This move is really too ruthless. You decide the rules, but the government is the law enforcement officer. Once you break the rules, you can't make excuses, because the rules are set by yourself. This actually makes it easier for the government to enforce the law and reduces the dissatisfaction of foreign races with the government.

But everyone was very excited because they had never set the system with the trading center. How to do this thing, and they set the rules. This was really interesting to him. He couldn't wait to see Han Yi's blueprint immediately.

Regarding this blueprint, he asked Chen Shuozhen to draft yesterday, and he found some people overnight and copied more than one by hand.

Seeing that everyone was so impatient, Han Yi asked someone to distribute his script to them and also assigned more than 20 translators.

Wu Kelie and the others could understand Chinese. Seeing that the blueprint was divided into two parts, the first part was - basic, and the second part was - intention.

In fact, this "basic" is the basic law of later generations, similar to the Constitution.

There are only more than ten.

The central idea is divided into two parts, one is to establish the principle of a country and a monarch. Anyone who destroys this will be sentenced to death.

Based on this, then the Western Turks will never have Khan again. We only have one common monarch, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

And, establish the same theme language and the same theme text.

This also indicates that the comprehensive promotion of Chinese, Chinese characters, and Chinese culture is needed.

Seeing this, Wu Kelie asked, "Brother Han, we have to speak Chinese in the future?"

People who don’t like to understand their brains will have a headache when they hear it.

Han Yi smiled and said, "It's not necessary to learn Chinese or Chinese characters, but to use Chinese as the mother tongue. This is also for trade. If the language is not clear and the writing is different, it will be very difficult to communicate. Why not everyone learns Chinese? This way of communication is also convenient."

Everyone nodded slightly, and it made sense that they could not learn, and they even had no words. In addition, learning Chinese is a very exciting thing now. Only nobles are qualified to learn.

The second part is to establish the rights and interests of each people, and to protect the rights and interests of each people. The government cannot arrest people at will, etc.

When Pei Xingjian saw this this morning, he was in the five-serving place for Han Yi. This part seemed to restrict the government. The government could not infringe on the property of the people, and the government could not use punishment at will, etc. However, since the rights and interests of each citizen were determined, it also applies to the chief, which invisibly weakened the chief's influence on the people.

But for Wu Kelie and others, they are the government above them, and they are also afraid that the court will oppress them and exploit them. After all, it is a foreign rule. Now they will not think of themselves as rulers, they will only think of themselves as victims, and this part also ensures their rights. If they do not agree, the government can infringe on their property at will. After weighing the trade-offs, this part is of course beneficial to them.

Of course, this cannot be discussed basically. It must be like this. The principles of a monarch and a country cannot be changed.

The key is the intention part behind, which is the most exciting part.

Han Yi collectively referred to the intention part of the businessmen's Regulations, but many laws were involved in it.

Since merchants are the first priority, freedom and fairness are the principles.

Therefore, robbing other people's property is definitely a serious crime, and it can involve Tang Lu's thief rule.

Under this Merchant Ordinance, there are the Contract Law, the Labor Act, the Price Law, and even the regulation of stores, trade, etc.

This "Merchant Regulations" is completely opposite to the Central Plains' law on merchants. In fact, there are also merchant regulations in the Central Plains, but that restricts merchants. Anyway, they are not allowed to do this or that. Merchants are humble people. However, the merchant regulations here confirm the principle of putting merchants first. Merchants have all the rights and interests of ordinary people and have a little privilege.
