After the court, Zhu Yunwen summoned Yang Shiqi alone.

There is no way, the problems that arise in the law regarding the food price this time must be solved.

"This act of raising food prices shows that our law still has many loopholes to be exploited. This time, Zong Xun made such a case, which seemed legal but was actually a vicious person to harm the country and the people. Since there is a problem, he naturally needs to find a way to solve the problem and prevent the problem from getting rid of the law, so as not to cause such similar things to happen again in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shiqi frowned slightly. What the emperor said meant was that he wanted to amend the law?

He immediately advised him: "Your Majesty loves the people as his son. Heaven and earth can be seen, but the law forces the price not to increase, which will hit the merchants' enthusiasm for business, especially merchants in the northwest and southwest. Their transportation costs are extremely high, and they will inevitably exceed the price stipulated by our court in terms of grain prices. It is inevitable that there will be an increase."

Previous laws set up red lines, allowing merchants to set a price that depends on market laws according to the cost of transportation far and near, and protect their commercial interests. This encouraged the civil and commercial behavior of the Ming Dynasty, and also encouraged commercial prosperity. The orders changed every day, and it would affect the whole body as soon as possible.

"No, no, no, it is not to change the Basic Law, but to add a supplementary law."

Zhu Yunwen has already figured out a solution these days and said with a smile, which has stunned Yang Shiqi.

"What is the Basic Law and the Supplementary Law?"

"The Basic Law is the Law of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yunwen introduced the concept of the Basic Law and explained: "It is the literal meaning. The Basic Law, which I followed from top to bottom in the Ming Dynasty, must have loopholes, or do not conform to local conditions or terms of special periods. At this time, a supplementary law can be made, and what is supplemented can be called the Supplementary Law.

If the Supplementary Law is applied in the specific situation, the Supplementary Law shall prevail. Therefore, my idea is that the special period announced by the court, such as disasters and controls, which I have otherwise arranged is a special period. During the special period, the court designated certain materials that are not allowed to increase or decrease, and no one is allowed to increase or decrease the price. If they do not comply, it is illegal and then punished according to the law."

The local methods and supplementary laws of later generations, and the court's special interpretation of a certain law is a complete set of extremely complete legal systems, which is the cornerstone of a society ruled by law. Of course, even so, there are loopholes that can be exploited. This does not mean that our country's laws are bad or imperfect, but that the problems in society must have occurred one after another with the progress of civilization of the times. If new things happen, then solve the supplementary one after another. This is true for any country in the world.

These laws except the Basic Law simply put, all the right to interpret the law belongs to the government.

In addition to legal provisions, there is also the "regulatory period" stipulated by the government. Everyone must have understood the meaning of this year.

For example, large-scale public health incidents, military control, large-scale rescue and searches for crimes endangering public safety are all within the control period.

During the period of regulation, there are special laws and policies, and these laws and policies must be abide by this period.

The rules and regulations of society have special rules and regulations, and this is the rule.

The purpose of formulating these laws is to fully popularize the rule of law, so that the people have laws to follow, and let those illegal elements know what violations mean and will be punished.

Now, Zhu Yunwen is going to propose this concept in the current Ming Dynasty, and everyone in the world remembers that at certain specific times, some things cannot be done!

“Supplementary method.”

Yang Shiqi muttered it once, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Your Majesty has a good idea."

Adding a law of "special period" without destroying the basic market will not affect the enthusiasm of merchants all over the world to do business. At the same time, it will also allow the court to have laws to follow when such a grain price is raised next time.

This time, the emperor Zhu Yunwen, came to the scene personally, forcibly cleared the law with the emperor's honor and convicted these things with his exclusive privileges, but in the end, the court did not have the confidence to deal with it.

Add a law, the next time something similar happens, the emperor will not have to personally take the blame for the court.

"In the future, there will be such similar things that can drill into my Ming law. If your cabinet cannot handle it, tell me that I will punish these things first, and then we will add the law."

Yang Shiqi immediately laughed.

The powerful can use their own advantages and privileges to exploit loopholes in the law. Similarly, the emperor can also use his privileges to directly punish these powerful people without legal support, which is reasonable and legal.

Punish first, then perfect the law.

They all rely on power. Who has the power to this world in the world?

Especially the emperor's words, "I have other regulations to arrange for a special period." This is a naked and explicit statement to the world, and the final interpretation of the legal provisions lies with the emperor.

In the future, if the emperor wants to kill, it will be said that it was a special period arranged by the emperor. In special periods, some things will be beheaded! Now it is reasonable and legal for me, the emperor, to kill you.

Don’t you like to drill for legal loopholes? Come and see if you can drill for it or if I, the emperor, can drill for it.

With the emperor who seems to do whatever he wants, but is full of routines, it is a blessing for the people of the world.

"In a few days, the provincial examination meeting in Nanzhili will start first, and then all provinces will start one after another. I will say goodbye first."

Yang Shiqi was about to say goodbye, but Zhu Yunwen called him to death.

"If you celebrate the New Year this year, let's do it grandly on the New Year's Day on the first day of the first lunar month."

Yang Shiqi was stunned, not understanding what Zhu Yunwen meant.

The emperor has always been used to being frugal. Although he is not as stingy as Taizu, he has always been able to save as much as possible in the New Year. Why did he suddenly remember to squander it?

"I know that the national treasury is difficult this year. I have taken some money from the imperial merchants. Then the cabinet will take charge."

"yes."

Although I don’t understand Zhu Yunwen’s thoughts, since the emperor said he wanted to do it in big ways, then let’s do it once. It’s just a scale of hundreds of thousands of taels, and the Emperor of Silver is willing to give it up. The cabinet will spend at most, and the specific errands must be done by people below.

After Yang Shiqi left, Shuangxi behind Zhu Yunwen asked with a smile: "Why is the emperor so elegant this year? In previous years, he could have avoided it."

Zhu Yunwen stood up and stretched his waist, sighing.

"Next year, it will be five years for Jianwen."

Why do you have to do it in a big way? Because this is Zhu Yunwen’s reward to him!

There is no fifth year of Jianwen in history. When the New Year’s Eve bell rang outside the Meridian Gate, it means that history has changed with his intervention. The short-lived Jianwen Dynasty will continue to make great strides, and will even be stronger than the Yongle Dynasty that succeeded him!
