Jing Shou strode in, saluted Gao Yuan, turned his head again, and nodded at the two councilors, he is the justice of the Grand Court, nominated by Gao Yuan, and the Grand Council is a pass, as long as he does not make mistakes, he can hold this position for life, and he is not lower than the two councilors above the rank, nodding, it is considered a courtesy.

These high-ranking officials are familiar with Gao Yuan's temperament, and know that he doesn't like those red tape, and after seeing the ceremony, he found a brocade stool and sat down, and He Weiyuan was already quick to bring tea for Jing Shou, and by the way, he also changed another cup for Wu Kai and Wu Qi.

"Your Majesty, I transferred the case file and examined it for a special time." Jing Shou said in a deep voice.

"What do you think?" Gao Yuan picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, stared at Jing Shou and asked.

"Your Majesty feels that there is nothing wrong with the judgment of the judge of the Jicheng Court." Jing Shou is straightforward.

"Even you don't think you're wrong?" Gao Yuan was a little disappointed, put the teacup on the table, clasped his fingers, and leaned back slightly, Wu Kai was very familiar with Gao Yuan, knowing that Gao Yuan appeared in this action, he was very disappointed in his heart, and he was a little angry.

"What's going on here? What case?" Wu Kai immediately interjected and asked, this should not be a big case, otherwise it would not be the Jicheng Primary Court to adjudicate.

"Oh, that's right, Jiang Dalang, a merchant of soap powder in Jicheng, lasted three years, invested nearly 1,000 taels of silver, and developed a new product, called soap, but before it was officially put into production, it was poached by the Ke family who was responsible for the development of the master with a high salary, and the Jiang family complained to the Jicheng Court, but was sentenced to lose, and the Jiang family was naturally not convinced, so they gathered relatives and friends at the two ends of three days to fight with the Ke family." Jing Shou briefly briefed Wu Kai on the case.

"This, how can this be? This Ke family is too immoral." Wu Kai was dumbfounded, Wu himself is a big businessman, over the years, he has become rich in the world by relying on the secret recipes of winemaking provided by Gao Yuan, and the importance of these secret recipes is certainly not something that Jing Shou can understand.

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

"Your Majesty, our Wu family has been operating the wine industry for many years, but all the important recipes are mastered by my Wu family's descendants, those masters are all surnamed Wu, family affection, naturally the greatest guarantee, second, is that the treatment of these masters is also excellent, in my Wu family, the status of these masters, even some of the descendants of the family can not be compared." Wu Kaidao.

"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 moment, and continued: "Of course, we also have some other means, this, this is not very good to say."

Gao Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood, a big family like the Wu family, which has stood in the business world for many years, naturally has some means that are not humane, and now the Wu family, as the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, is even more prosperous, who dares to fight their idea?

"Yes, with the power of the Wu family, outsiders really don't dare to make up their minds, but the Jiang family is just a small business, and it has no background, so the Ke family naturally has no scruples about doing it."

Jing Shou heard Gao Yuan's tendency, but as a chief justice, he didn't care about this at all, looked at Gao Yuan, and said: "Your Majesty, logically speaking, the Ke family is not authentic and immoral, but from a legal point of view, there is no legal provision that says that the Ke family is wrong to do this, and it is not expressly prohibited by law, and his subordinates checked the master of the Jiang family, neither signed a labor contract with the Jiang family, nor signed a confidentiality agreement, it is purely a free body, free to come and go, the Ke family is hired with a high salary, he abandoned the Jiang family and joined the Ke family, Legally, there is nothing wrong with it, and the minister also sympathizes with the Jiang family, but he cannot sentence the Jiang family to win."

Gao Yuan nodded, "From the current law of our Han Dynasty, 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 vigorously encourages innovation and technological updating, which is also the reason why our Han Dynasty is far ahead of Qin Chu in industry and commerce, but if a company spends money, consumes time, and works hard to develop a new technology, but it is easily taken away like this, you think, in the future, who will do such a thankless thing within my Han Dynasty?" Everyone waits for others to make it, and then they go to poach people, Lao Wu, if your master is poached, what will you do?"

Wu Kai snorted, "Don't hide it from the king, if this kind of thing happens to the Wu family, I am afraid that the life of this defected master will not be guaranteed, and the person who digs the corner of my house will also encounter a lot of trouble."

Dropping this sentence, Wu Kai ignored Jing Shou's cold gaze, and said to himself: "For this kind of behavior, if you don't punish it severely, won't everyone follow suit in the future!"

Gao Yuan looked at Jing Shou, "Look, this will lead to other cases, and it's a criminal case, Lao Wu, I don't care what happened before, the Wu family will definitely not be able to have this kind of thing in the future, you are in a high position, there are many people staring at you, don't leave a handle on people."

"Yes, Your Majesty understands!" Wu Kai bowed down and said, "The king 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 Han will inevitably stagnate in terms of technology, or everyone will be in danger, and in the end, there will inevitably be the situation that Lao Wu just said, killing the defectors, a hundred, but these people killed are all scientific and technological talents of the Han Dynasty!"

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

"This matter, you Jing Shou will take the lead, to the big council to propose patent legislation, the big council members, big businessmen abound, you take this case as a case, explain to them the importance of this matter, tomorrow, two Lord Wu, tomorrow you will propose to convene a big council, all the councillors in Jicheng must participate, this matter should be sooner rather than later." Gao Yuan waved his hand.

"Understood." Jing Shou nodded and said, "But the case of the two families, Wang Shang and Jiang Ke, cannot be overturned, and can only be judged according to the current standards."

"Isn't that fueling evil?" Wu Kai slapped the table and shouted.

Gao Yuan raised his palms, "If the law does not prohibit it, it can be done, and the case of Jiang Ke and the two families will be handled by me!" But I hope that this will not happen again in the future, and that the sooner the patent protection law is introduced, the better."

Compared with the lifeless Jiang family, the Ke family on the same street can be described as jubilant, the Ke family has a friend who is a scribe in the Grand Court, yesterday when the Jicheng Grand Court Justice Jing Shou obtained the case file of the Jiang Ke family's case, the Ke family can be said to be extremely worried, but today, after this scribe friend passed the judge's verdict, Ke Zhen, the boss of the Ke family, can be said to have a heart finally put back in his stomach.

It is not prohibited by law. This is the judge's judgment, which also means that the Jiang family will never be able to turn over this case, because the judge's judgment is basically the final judgment.

"Master Ning, this time you can put your heart back in your stomach, this matter, before this, I consulted a friend who understands the law, and now the justices have said, you will work well in my Ke's family, you will occupy 10% of the shares in my Ke's shop, and at the same time, I will give you a 20% increase in your monthly salary, how about it?"

Master Ning, who defected, also breathed a sigh of relief at this point, "Thank you to the owner, I will definitely do my best for the owner's business in the future."

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

Before the wine and dinner were set, there was already a noise outside, and Ke Zhen's eldest son rushed in with a panicked face, "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 you should go and report the crime."

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

"What did you say?" Ke Zhen almost couldn't believe his ears, as a flat-headed commoner, let alone the palace, even if it was Jicheng Taishou, it was an unreachable distance for him." Palace guards?"

"Yes, a few palace guards came outside, saying that on the orders of the king, please, please invite Daddy and Master Ning into the palace."

As soon as he heard this, Master Ning's legs were weak and he was already paralyzed to the ground. Ke Zhen forced his composure, pulled Master Ning up, and said in a low voice: "Judge Jing has made a judgment, the king is the most sage, and it will never be because of this matter."

"What else could it be if it wasn't this?" Master Ning's teeth fought up and down, rattling.

When the two of them walked out of the house with a pale face, they happened to see the other side of the street, and Jiang Dalang also walked over under the protection of several guards. Seeing Ke Zhen and the others, Jiang Dalang's eyes were red, and he wanted to pounce with one hand, but he was grabbed by the guards around him and couldn't move. After a few words of warning, Jiang Dalang didn't dare to move anymore, just took a pair of eyes that wanted to breathe fire and glared at the two fiercely.

"Don't be afraid, Lao Ning, the king's edict once said that even he can't change the judgment of the court, since the judge said that we are not breaking the law, the king will not do anything to us, our king is the most virtuous." Although he was drumming in his heart, Ke Zhen was still forced to calm down.

The guard on the side listened to Ke Zhen's words, smiled, and glanced meaningfully. The case of Jiang Ke's two families has now spread throughout Jicheng, and in the eyes of many people, it was originally a trivial matter, because the chief judge retrieved the case file, and finally the king personally intervened, which has become the biggest news in Jicheng. The Great Council convened a special meeting 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 working hard to develop new technologies, because once new technologies come out, they represent a steady stream of wealth, but Jiang Ke's case has reminded everyone that if the same thing happens, what should they do?
