I’m The King Chapter 1108: : East and West (one hundred and one)

Jing Shou strode in, bowed to Gao Yuan, then turned his head, and nodded to the two councilors. He is the official of the * Yuan, nominated by Gao Yuan, and approved by the Great Council, as long as he does not make mistakes , you can hold this position for life, and the rank is not lower than the two discussing politics. Nodding your head is considered a courtesy.

These high-ranking officials are all familiar with Gao Yuan's disposition and know that he doesn't like those red tapes. After seeing the ceremony, they find a brocade stool and sit down. Wu Kai and Wu Qi exchanged another cup.

"Your Majesty, I transferred the case files and reviewed the case you ordered." Jing Shou said in a deep voice.

"What do you think?" Gao Yuan raised his teacup, took a sip, and asked Jing Shou.

"I feel that there is nothing wrong with the judgment of the judge of Jicheng Court." Jing Shou said straightforwardly.

"Even you don't think the judgment was wrong?" Gao Yuan was a little disappointed. He put the teacup on the table, clasped his fingers, and leaned back slightly. Wu Kai was very familiar with Gao Yuan. He was disappointed when he knew Gao Yuan made this move. Totally, a little angry.

"What's going on here? What kind of case?" Wu Kai immediately interjected and asked, this shouldn't be a big case, otherwise it wouldn't be the Jicheng Primary Court.

"Oh, it's like this. Jiang Dalang, a merchant of saponin soap powder in Jicheng, spent three years and invested nearly a thousand taels of silver to develop a new product called soap. Unexpectedly, it has not yet been officially put into production. The Ke family, who was in charge of the research and development, was poached with a high salary, and the Jiang family filed a complaint with the Jicheng court. Unexpectedly, they were sentenced to lose, and the Jiang family naturally refused to accept it, so they gathered relatives and friends every few days to fight against the Ke family." Jing Shou briefly introduced the case to Wu Kai.

"This, how is this possible? This Ke family is too immoral." Wu Kai was dumbfounded. The Wu family is a big businessman. Over the years, they have become rich all over the world thanks to the secret winemaking recipe provided by Gao Yuan. Of course, Jing Shou's emphasis on these secret recipes is not something Jing Shou can understand.

"Old Wu, how do you ensure that your master will not be poached?" Gao Yuan looked at Wu Kai and asked.

"Your Majesty, our Wu family has been in the wine business for many years, but all the important recipes are controlled by the direct descendants of my Wu family. All the master chefs are surnamed Wu, and the family relationship is naturally the greatest guarantee. The second is that the treatment of these masters is also very good. In my Wu family, the status of these masters is not even comparable to that of some descendants of the 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 while, and then said: "Of course, we also have some other means, this, this is not very pleasant to say."

Gao Yuan nodded, expressing his understanding. A big family like the Wu family has stood in the business world for many years, so they naturally have some inhuman methods. Idea?

"Yes, with the strength of the Wu family, outsiders do not dare to make decisions, but the Jiang family is just a small business with no background, and the Ke family naturally has no scruples in doing it."

Jing Shou heard Gao Yuan's tendency, but as a government official, he didn't care about it at all, looked at Gao Yuan, and said: "Your Majesty, from a rational point of view, the Ke family is not authentic and immoral. But from a legal point of view, there is no legal provision saying that the Ke family's doing is wrong, and it can be done without an express prohibition. The minister checked the Jiang family's master, and neither signed a labor contract with the Jiang family, nor did he sign a confidentiality agreement. The agreement is purely a free body, free to come and go, the Ke family hired him with a high salary, and he abandoned the Jiang family to join the Ke family. From a legal point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. The minister also sympathizes with the Jiang family, but he cannot judge the Jiang family to win."

Gao Yuan nodded, "From the perspective of our current law, this is indeed the case, but it also reminds us of one thing, above the law, this is a big loophole."

Taking a long breath, Gao Yuan said slowly: "Our Han Dynasty strongly encourages innovation and technology updates, which is why our Han Dynasty is far ahead of Qin and Chu in industry and commerce, but if A family spent money, time, and worked hard to develop a new technology, but it was easily taken away by someone. Think about it, in the future, in the Han Dynasty, who will do this kind of painstaking work? What do you want to please? Everyone waits for others to do it, and then go to poach people. Old Wu, if your master is poached, what will you do?"

Wu Kai snorted, "To tell you the truth, if this kind of thing happens in the Wu family, I'm afraid that the defected master's life will be lost, and the person who digs the corner of my house will also encounter a lot of trouble."

Leaving this sentence behind, Wu Kai ignored Jing Shou's cold gaze, and said to himself, "If this kind of behavior is not severely punished, everyone will follow suit in the future!"

Gao Yuan looked at Jing Shou, "Look, this will lead to other cases, and it's a criminal case. Old Wu, I don't care what happened before. In the future, this kind of thing will definitely not happen in the Wu family. You have a high position. There are quite a few people staring at you, so don't leave any talk for others."

"Yes, I understand!" Wu Kai bowed and said, "Your Majesty summoned Judge Jing today to talk about this matter?"

"Yes, this incident reminds us that we must legislate to protect those who dare to invest in technological innovation, and those who want to get something for nothing must be severely punished. Otherwise, in the long run, my big man will inevitably stagnate in technology Before, or everyone is in danger, in the end, the situation that Old Wu just said will inevitably happen, killing the defectors will kill everything, but these people who are killed are all big men's scientific and technological talents!"

"I understand what the king means." Jing Shoudao: "But the matter of legislation is a matter for the Great Council."

"This matter, you, Jing Shou, will take the lead and propose patent legislation to the Great Council. There are many great members of the Great Council and big businessmen. You use this case as an example to explain the matter to them. Importance, tomorrow, Mr. Wu, you will propose to convene a big council tomorrow, and all members of Jicheng must attend, this matter should be done sooner rather than later." Gao Yuan waved his hand.

"Understood." Jing Shou nodded and said: "However, the case of the king and Jiang Ke cannot be overturned. It can only be judged according to the current standard."

"Isn't this encouraging evil?" Wu Kai slapped the table and shouted.

Gao Yuan raised his palms up, "It can be done without a clear law. Let me handle the case of the Jiang and Ke families! But I hope that such things will not happen again in the future. The sooner the patent protection law is introduced, the better."

Compared to the lifeless Jiang family, the Ke family, which is also on the same street, is full of joy. A friend of the Ke family works as a clerk in the court. When the case files of Jiang and Ke's two cases were taken, the Ke family was extremely worried, but today, after the friend of the scribe passed the judge's verdict, Ke Zhen, the boss of the Ke family, finally let go of his heart. In the stomach.

If there is no prohibition, it can be done. This is the judge's judgment, which also means that the Jiang family will never be able to stand up for this case, because the judge's judgment is basically the final judgment.

"Master Ning, you can put your heart in your stomach this time. Before this matter, I have consulted with friends who know the law. Now that the police officer has said it, you can take care of it." I work in the Ke family, you will own 10% of the shares in my Ke family's store, and I will give you another 20% monthly salary, how about it?"

Master Ning, who defected, let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you, my master, I will definitely do my best for my business in the future."

"It's our business." Ke Zhen laughed loudly, "Come, serve the food and wine, I want to get drunk with Master Ning."

Before the dinner and wine were set, there was already a commotion outside, and Ke Zhen's eldest son rushed in with a face full of panic, "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 go and report the crime."

"No, yes, it's the palace guard."

"What did you say?" Ke Zhen couldn't believe his ears. As an ordinary person, let alone the palace, even the prefect of Jicheng is far away from him." Guard?"

"Yes, a few palace guards came outside and said that by the order of the king, please, invite father and Master Ning into the palace."

Hearing this, Master Ning's legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground. Ke Zhen tried to calm himself down, pulled Master Ning up, and said in a low voice, "Officer Jing has already passed the verdict. The most holy man in the world will never be because of this."

"If it's not this, what else could it be?" Master Ning's teeth chattered up and down.

When the two of them walked out of the house with gray complexions and followed several palace guards, they happened to see Jiang Dalang walking over under the protection of several guards from the other side of the street. It was all red, and he wanted to rush over with one hand, but was grabbed by the guards around him and couldn't move. After a few harsh warnings, Jiang Dalang didn't dare to move anymore, he just took a pair of eyes that were about to breathe fire, and slammed staring at the two of them.

"Don't be afraid, Lao Ning, the king's edict once said that even he can't change the court's judgment. Since the court officials say that we are not breaking the law, the king will not do anything to us , our king is the wisest." Although his heart was pounding, Ke Zhen still tried to remain calm.

The guard on one side smiled after hearing Ke Zhen's words, and took a meaningful look. The case of Jiang Ke's family has now spread throughout Jicheng. , because the police officer retrieved the case file, the king himself intervened in the end, which has become the biggest news in Jicheng. And the big council held a meeting specially for this matter to discuss the protection of patented technology. As Gao Yuan expected, in the big council, There are many people who have business at home, and now the big guys are trying their best to develop new technologies, because once a new technology comes out, it will represent a steady stream of wealth, but Jiang Ke's case has reminded everyone Son, what should I do if I encounter the same thing?
