"Then, when hiring commoners to work, a contract should also be signed. This way, there won't be so many harboring improper intentions."
Elder Zhong said quietly, "Great Minister Qi, could it be that you have forgotten that Yonghe's shops also signed contracts with those below, with significant compensation for breach. Yet now that people have fled and can't be caught, what use is it?"
"This indicates that the contract is too lenient and should be stricter." Minister Qi countered imperturbably.
"Oh? How does Great Minister Qi think it should be improved?"
Minister Qi sensed he was being targeted by Elder Zhong, and though dissatisfied, he showed nothing on his face, "I do not know. The confirmation of laws needs to be sifted through repeatedly, and also requires the cooperation of the Ministry of Punishment and Department of Commerce and Construction. These cannot be determined now."
