I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2823 - 1752: The Lion, the Rabbit, and Stinky Mandarin Fish
Previously on I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping...
It used the Forest Code to tailor a shackle for the rabbit. Then, when the rabbit appealed to the Forest Court, it righteously informed the rabbit that it was the rabbit itself that handed over the key to the shackle.
"Why do you see yourself as the rabbit."
Fang Qing noticed her sister’s change in mood and comforted her with a smile, "You’re not a rabbit."
Tong Dan pouted, "Stop it. I am not qualified to be a lion."
"Well, at least you’re a wolf."
"A wolf?"
Fang Qing pulled out two napkins, wiping the oil stains from the table, "Through property law and contract law, the lion became the richest animal in the forest, but soon it found managing so many rabbits directly too exhausting.
So, it found the wolf pack in the forest.
The lion said to the head wolf: I will contract my manor to you. Every year you give me 10,000 pounds of carrots. The rest is yours. The rabbits in the manor are also under your management."
Tong Dan wanted to say something but held back.
Fang Qing placed the napkins she used to wipe the oil on one side, "The head wolf was delighted and quickly signed the contract. From then on, the role of supervisor changed from lion to wolf.
The wolf, to deliver enough 10,000 pounds of carrots and still have some left, certainly couldn’t continue the lions’ previous management model.
Thus the Lion Manor welcomed a new reform.
Originally, rabbits worked 12 hours a day; now, they had to work 15 hours.
Originally given 3 carrots a day, they now receive 2.
Those who worked slowly, the wolf would directly bite.
The rabbits soon found life unbearable, and they began to miss the days when the lion was their boss. It was tough back then too, but at least the lion didn’t bite them.
Thus, the rabbits in distress went back to the lion to complain.
The lion spread its paws with an innocent face: This has nothing to do with me. I signed a contract with the wolf. It’s just my partner, not my employee; how it manages you is its internal affair. You should go to the wolf.
The rabbits immediately went to the wolf, showed its sharp teeth, and said: The contract is signed between the lion and me. What do you count as? If you don’t want to work, then leave!
The rabbits then went to the Elephant Judge.
The Elephant Judge looked at the lion and wolf’s contract and then at the labor contract between the rabbits and the wolf, finally said: According to the principle of legal subject independence, your employer is the wolf, not the lion. There is no legal relationship between you and the lion. If there’s a problem, you can only sue the wolf.
Sue the wolf? Who dares?
So all the dirty, tiring, and thankless jobs are contracted out to the wolf.
The rabbits hated the wolf, cursing it every day.
While the lion, in its cave, ate the carrots contributed by the wolf while reading the newspaper. On the paper was an editorial titled "On the Generosity and Kindness of the Lion."
Tong Dan was distracted.
"So... law is just a tool."
Fang Qing took a sip of water, "Law, in essence, is a form of knowledge."
Knowledge is certainly a tool.
But law.
So solemn.
So dignified.
How could it be the same?
And after hearing this story, it seems to be the same.
"The rabbit is really pitiful, being played by the lion, and in the end, even nostalgia for the lion, as all the hatred is shifted onto the wolf."
Tong Dan muttered, "Aren’t many clients like rabbits, unable to figure out who their enemy is? As lawyers, doesn’t that make you suffer greatly?"
"The lawyer’s duty is just to deal with the wolf."
Tong Dan was stunned into laughter, picking up the beer bottle, "Aren’t you going to drink? Just one glass?"
Fang Qing shook her head.
"On your period?"
Fang Qing gave her a cross look.
"Forget it."
Tong Dan continued to drink by herself, sighing in a moment of great enlightenment.
"Now I fully understand. There is no such sacred and inviolable, the Forest Code doesn’t distinguish between good and evil; like a knife, in the hands of a psychopath, it can kill, in the hands of doctors, it can save lives. Without the Forest Code, rabbits wouldn’t even have a theoretical chance to confront the lion. The Forest Code theoretically gives the rabbit a weapon to stab at the lion, but the same applies to the lion.
And the weapon the lion gets is more advanced, more comprehensive, more abundant.
It can build a wall with high litigation costs, time costs, and knowledge costs, directly blocking 99% of the rabbits outside. Then use its power of legislation to design a set of rules most favorable to itself. Use complex legal provisions to turn black into white. Finally, with corporate law and contract law, it wraps itself up as a clean final beneficiary, unrelated to any wrongdoing."
Tong Dan talked more fluently and became more "enlightened."
The rabbit, in its hand, only holds a rusty knife.
And the lion, in its hand, holds airplanes, cannons, aircraft carriers.
This struggle is fundamentally not on the same level, not even in the same dimension, how to win?
Therefore.
The many chilling realities in the human jungle can thus be explained.
A migrant worker may spend years walking until his legs break, talking until his mouth bursts, and not get paid, all for a few thousand yuan paycheck.
A big corporation can legally evade hundreds of millions in taxes annually and not be held accountable.
An ordinary person can be sentenced for defamation for scolding online.
A capitalist can dismantle countless families using financial leverage, finally applying for personal bankruptcy, and start again without a care.
It seems very unfair, but this world is never based on your feelings.
From the process, all this is clearly fair.
The rabbit’s fairness is a simple sense of justice: debts must be repaid, murder must be avenged.
While the lion’s fairness is procedural justice: All my operations fall within the permissible scope of the rules. I win because I understand the rules better than you, can utilize them better.
"You are the wolf, I am not."
Tong Dan supplemented with a hum, and stretched her chopsticks to pick up the dish, thinking it’s really a waste not to eat the smelly mandarin fish.
"Then what do you think you are?"
Tong Dan thought for a moment, pretended to be vicious, revealing her teeth, "I am a snake, don’t bother people as people don’t bother me."
Her looks somewhat lean towards the snake type.
"If someone bothers me, I bite them to death."
"Do you understand the law."
"I don’t, but I have a legal team of hundreds behind me."
Tong Dan said proudly.
If really comparing the world to a game server.
Then the law probably equates to the game tutorial.
The game tutorial doesn’t automatically protect anyone, it’s just a tool, lying there, cold and silent.
Players must actively study it, use it.
But ordinary players simply don’t have that ability; they may be killed before understanding it.
Whereas RMB players not only buy the full set of top equipment but also hire levelers, use cheats, even directly modify the game’s backend data.
Isn’t human civilization just an upgraded version of the animal forest?
When the rabbit holds the code thinking it can dialogue equally with the lion, the lion is already considering how to use the code to enclose the next carrot field.
"The Forest Code gives every creature the right to say no, but first, one must afford the cost of saying no."
Tong Dan spat out fish bones, "Qing Gege, am I right?"
"Settle the bill."
Fang Qing said succinctly.
Tong Dan, who indeed was a class representative in primary school, rolled her eyes over, simultaneously, using chopsticks to pick a strip of smelly mandarin fish from the dry pot and throwing it into her bowl.
"Is just inviting you to dinner not enough?"
Tong Dan originally thought she was just pretending; who knew looking at the smelly mandarin fish in the bowl, Qing Gege frowned instantly, such a spontaneous reaction couldn’t be faked.
"What expression is that? If you don’t eat, give it to me. Really, people, really are changeable."
Looking at the smelly mandarin fish, once thought delicious to smell and more delicious to eat, Fang Qing’s brows furrowed and relaxed, relaxed then furrowed again.
She subjectively wanted to pick up the chopsticks; Tong Dan alone couldn’t finish the whole pot of fish, but such physiological discomfort fought against her subjective will, prevented her from lifting her hand, even wishing to throw away the bowl altogether.
What’s the matter?
A trace of doubt also appeared in her eyes.
