"Since His Majesty the Emperor is so frank, I will just say it bluntly."

Triste asked Begana, "I hope you will lend me troops so that I can lead my troops back to the Kingdom of Morning Light and pull the illegitimate son who is not qualified to inherit the throne from the throne."

"Lend soldiers to you? What are the benefits of this?" asked Begana, "What can you give me after you help you take down the Kingdom of Morning Light?"

"I will give you whatever you want." Triste replied with a smile.

"You will give me whatever I want?"

Hearing this, Begana sat down slightly, touched the stubble on his chin, looked up and down at Triste, showing a playful smile.

"What if I say, I want your body?"

"No problem." Trister answered very quickly and simply.

"oh?"

The other party's unhesitant answer surprised Begana and couldn't help but look down on Triste.

"Don't you regret it?"

"It is my honor to be honored by His Majesty the Emperor, why do I regret it?" Triste asked back.

"Hahaha."

Begana couldn't help laughing a few times, then said, "I appreciate your decisiveness, but let's forget about that. I've heard that the second princess of the Morning Light Kingdom is a person who has a engagement, and I have no interest in women who have played with others."

"No, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Triste suddenly stepped forward and said, "Although I have a marriage contract, the engagement has not been fulfilled yet, and the engagement contractor has never touched my body, not to mention that he is dead. Therefore, I am still a virgin."

As she said that, she took the initiative to take off her clothes and stood naked in front of Begana.

"If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself."

Begana glanced across every part of Triste's body and noticed that there was no expression of shyness or shame on her face.

"Interesting, you are the boldest woman I've ever met."

After saying this, Begana's eyes turned to the maids standing against the wall behind him.

"You all retreat."

"yes."

The maid quickly left the room, closed the door, and waited outside the door to prevent anyone from disturbing the emperor's elegant mood.

As for what happened to Begana and Triste in the room, let me imagine it.

...

Morning Light Kingdom, Dawn City, Lord's Castle.

Irving was sitting at his desk reading a book explaining capitalism, which he had decided to read before, but he had not been able to read until recently.

"So that's the case, the contradiction between socialization of production and the private ownership of capitalist means of production constitutes the basic contradiction in capitalist society, and this basic contradiction runs through the entire development of capitalism."

After reading for a long time, Owen felt his eyes a little astringent, so he stopped to rest and reached out to rub the sore parts of his nose.

Then, he stood up from his seat, stretched his lower limbs, then walked to the window, and placed his hands on the wall below the window.

While looking at the green in the distance, Owen was thinking about things.

When the development of capitalist society reaches its extreme, it will inevitably form a deformed society in which a very small number of people control most of the resources, an extremely huge wealth gap, and the lower class people are seriously exploited.

This is obviously an unhealthy, pathological social form.

Capital is profit-seeking, but also cruel and bloody.

After promoting reforms everywhere, Irving has begun to understand its profit-seeking nature.

Irving asked the city hall to allocate money to build a factory. The factory manager would strictly manage the workers in accordance with the rules he set, pay on time, etc. Anything that happened can be handled in a timely manner and will never be delayed.

And the factories built by nobles and merchants had various problems.

For example, in some factories, workers are injured during work for some reason. Whether it is the workers' own reasons or other reasons, the factory owners are directly fired without any compensation.

Some factories implement a twelve-hour working system, or even longer.

The working hours are simply outrageous, as if workers can only work except sleeping.

Some factories actually recruit child labor and have to do adult work during their work, but only give half or one-third of their salary. They also say: I am training you, it will be beneficial to you.

Even so, many short-sighted parents are still rushing to send their children to the factory, hoping that they can make money early.

These are just some of them, including wage arrears, etc.

In short, the workers were severely exploited by the factory owners.

In the end, the city hall intervened and issued a warning to the factory owners, forcing them to solve the problem obediently.

However, the problem was only solved temporarily. As soon as the officials left, some factories immediately committed the same thing, without taking the warning from the city hall seriously.

The difference between the two is probably what Winster calls state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.

For example, a factory built by the city hall can be regarded as a state-owned enterprise. First, it must serve the national strategy and secondly, the issue of profit.

The factories built by the original nobles and merchants belong to private enterprises, and profit is its primary purpose. In order to make money, they can be said to be doing everything they can, and they even dare to trample on the law.

Of course, state-owned enterprises are not only beneficial, they also have their own problems, so I will not discuss them here.

In addition, Irving also discovered corruption inside the city hall.

A cement factory owner privately bribed the city hall official, hoping that the city hall would build all the cement powder produced by his factory.

That's not bad. Owen immediately ordered Mapel to take Uchina to interrogate city hall officials one by one, and to find out all those who have been bribed, fined and confiscated three times the bribe money, and then fired them, and they will not be hired for life.

As for the bribery, he would terminate the contract signed with the city hall and fine him a lot of money.

In some cases, officials who received bribes and factory owners who bribes were sent to prison for labor reform.

Although the problem has been temporarily solved, it is not a solution to continue like this. You have to use some real means.

Thinking of this, Owen summoned the system interface, opened the folder, and looked for relevant legal books.

After reading the legal books for a few days, he learned from the good legal provisions and began to draft two new laws, namely—

The Labor Law and the Anti-Corruption Law.

The previous "New Kingdom Law" was just a basic law, which only stipulated the basic rights and obligations of the people, etc.

These two new laws focus on the two major aspects of labor and anti-corruption.

The Justice Department of the City Hall can regulate the order in which factory owners hire workers and restrain officials' temporary greed ideas based on these two new laws.

At the same time, the two new laws stipulate that corresponding regulatory agencies should be established to supervise factory owners and city hall officials in both open and secret places.

Once any illegal actions are found, report them immediately and punish them severely.
