European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 96 Customary law of chambers of commerce
After properly handling this bizarre judgment case, Li Peijun had a whim, since the existing legal system is not effective for daily disputes, can he learn from the Chamber of Commerce's regulations to improve and supplement it.

Li Peijun, who must do everything by himself, directly convened another meeting of merchants and nobles. Taking advantage of the sunset and nightfall, the venue was still in the old city hall. These merchants and nobles were also very curious about the many actions of this diligent lord.

"Could it be a tax increase?" A businessman next to Oren leaned over and whispered softly.

"Don't talk nonsense, there should be something important to convey." Oulen refuted and went back.

"Yes, yes, take out the leather paper and write it down quickly." The businessman on the opposite table was very excited. When he was collecting taxes, he was holding the lord's handwritten note, which felt like holding a Shangfang sword. The secular nobles did not dare to underestimate it. he.

"quiet."

Li Peijun was so excited when he saw people arriving that he slapped the table to shake up the scene.

The parents of the Possant family were originally invited to this meeting. Maybe this guy is still angry, and the seat closest to him has always been vacant.

"I invite you here today to discuss some matters with you. I wonder what you think of Harfleur's law." Li Peijun didn't want to make a long speech to lay the groundwork. The slow pace is not suitable for him.

The businessmen in the audience began to discuss with anticipation. Most of them have never been in the tribunal, but basically they have been blackmailed by secular nobles to some extent.

"The legal boundaries and details of rights and responsibilities are still too vague. Most of the time, the power of interpretation is still in the hands of the nobles." A businessman took the lead in talking, and when he saw that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, he quickly stopped consciously. Shut up.

Another businessman shrugged, "I'd rather be blackmailed by those blood-sucking Satans, but sometimes their reasons for blackmailing are too ridiculous, saying that my spices are mixed with horse manure, I'm really curious about them Why did you use up half a bottle of this stuff?"

"Master Oulun, have you heard about this situation?" The merchant on Oulun's right hand elbowed him. After all, apart from Paussant, Oulun is the oldest merchant nobleman on the field.

Oulen shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I don't even know where the courts and prisons in the city are. Your time of death."

The people around nodded their heads in praise after listening to Oulen's remarks. It seems that this place is no different from hell to them.

"Okay, after listening to everyone's remarks, it seems that they are quite dissatisfied with Harfleur's law." Li Peijun smiled and made a half-time summary.

There was cold sweat on Oulen's forehead, and he explained again and again: "My lord, there is no such thing. In fact, we are very satisfied with the current laws and regulations."

Li Peijun shook his hand and declined: "There is no need to explain so much. I also think the current legal system is not good. In many places, the sentencing standards and the definition of rights and responsibilities are very vague, and the implementation process is not transparent. No difference."

As soon as the lord lord's remarks came out, the audience was in an uproar. The merchants never expected that the lord lord would face this issue so frankly and courageously.

"Your chamber of commerce has daily rules and regulations, right?" Li Peijun turned his gaze to Ouluna and asked intentionally.

Oulen's eyeballs rolled quickly, and beads of sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks into his mustache. He couldn't figure out the real intention of the lord, and he silently organized the words in his heart for a long time. He only uttered a sentence tremblingly, "Report to Lord Lord, yes."

"But most of them are also customary laws, the customary laws of the Chamber of Commerce. After all, parents in the past didn't know the rules in this area. Most of them were established based on experience, and minor adjustments would occur from time to time." Oulun wiped away his sweat. Lian Lian added.

"Oh? The customary law of the Chamber of Commerce? Does anyone here have a charter? Or can someone recite the full text." Li Peijun continued to ask everyone present.

Oulen replied: "Yes, my lord, I will always carry it with me."

Li Peijun took over the manuscript and had to say that even though they are both customary laws, the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce are indeed more than one level higher than the current laws in terms of specificity and operability.

"In the future, if it is just a normal commercial and civil dispute, the internal regulations of your chamber of commerce can be used as the legal basis, and I will explain it at the collective meeting of nobles." Li Peijun solemnly returned the full-page parchment.

"However, there are still some places that need to be adjusted. For example, in terms of dealing with itinerant traders, your current rules seem to be unfriendly and too exclusive. You are ordered to make some adjustments. I hope that no matter whether it is a local businessman or a foreign businessman, as long as you do it in Hafleur All businesses are treated equally," Li Peijun added.

"But we are businessmen, there may be some problems with the revision of these regulations..." Oulen smiled bitterly. On the one hand, he admired the courage of the lord, but on the other hand, the task in front of him really made him a little embarrassed.

"Well... let me see."

Holding the idea that there might be experts in this area among the merchant aristocrats, Li Peijun directly activated the meritocracy skill and scanned the audience.

Numerous talent bubbles piled up in the entire venue, and Li Peijun struggled to distinguish which bubble came from which person's head.

"Okay, I've made a decision, just the two of you." Li Peijun smiled slightly, and it seemed that he had found a suitable candidate.

"I have an impression of you. When I secretly observed your work status before, you also conveyed your sense of service to the secular nobles when you collected taxes. You have done a good job. Here I will praise you by name."

Li Peijun pointed to one of them. That guy was the businessman who educated the nobles with a handwritten manuscript of serving the common people.

"You? What did you do before?" Li Peijun turned his gaze to another person, but he had no memory of this businessman at all.

"Back to the lord, the villain was sorting out the files in the court before, and sometimes he wrote the sentence in advance. These are some chores." The person who was named replied.

Li Peijun couldn't help applauding, "Very good, I just have a job in this area. In the future, the two of you will be transferred to the adjudication court, engaged in the revision and improvement of the law and assisting in the adjudication of cases."

"As you command, Lord." They both replied at the same time.

"I will send new staff to the vacant positions of the tax collectors. In addition, I will also transfer some of you to take up the duties of the itinerant vendors at the gate of the city."

"I obey, my lord, I am happy to serve you." All the merchant nobles present responded at the same time.

"I hope that everyone can cooperate sincerely to jointly build a new order in Hafleur, ah, no, wait, there is one more thing."

During the summary of the meeting, Li Peijun found that one item was missing, so he stopped to discuss again.

"I want to talk to you, your views on human nature."
