Chapter 567 "Criminal Law"

"Where does this person work now?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"I was a literature teacher in Penglai No. [-] Middle School. While teaching students, I wrote some articles and published them in three newspapers." Luzhin replied.

I still know Kong Jian and Liu Xinqi. This person's "New Confucianism" has initially formed a system, and now there is a large wave of scholars studying New Confucianism gathered around him.

The content of New Confucianism is very radical, and there are already some signs of "populism".

Populism has a derogatory meaning in later generations. It is a concept that deliberately caters to ordinary people in governance.This kind of thinking manifests itself in an extreme tendency toward civilianization, which elevates civilians and the masses to a very high level. In the end, it will oppose elitism and ignore or extremely deny the important role of political elites in social and historical development.

Now Kong Jian's New Confucianism is in the bud of nominalism. It has not gone to extremes, but it has only raised the status of the common people very high.

Liu Xinqi knew in his heart that this was a new idea created by Kong Jian by trying to figure out his own governing strategy and then specifically catering to himself.

There are many sages and they have many different theories. By picking some from them, you can form a theory that you want, and various tendencies can be "personally determined."

In the most ancient times, the sages also served the monarch, so in essence, the monarch's interests came first.

Kong Jian can be said to be a reformer recommended by Confucianism in response to the newly rising Xinghan League and Liu Xinqi.

It can be seen from his "New Confucianism" that he particularly admired "Great Han Chauvinism" that Kong Jian wanted to surrender his name and then integrate into the Xinghan League, so that Confucianism could continue and survive in the Xinghan League system.

Liu Xinqi established the Han League to protect the interests of the Han nation, but he was not a Han nationalist.

Han chauvinism is a kind of nationalism that discriminates, excludes and oppresses smaller ethnic groups.

Liu Xinqi treated the Jurchen people of the Jin Kingdom harshly because they committed serious crimes against the Han people.In the face of the Japanese, as of this era, they are just pirates and have not done anything that will make people and gods angry in later generations. Therefore, Liu Xinqi will only destroy the country and will not massacre at will.

Now, for the foreigners in the labor camp, Liu Xinqi also gave them the opportunity to integrate into the Xinghan League system. As long as he and the others passed the basic literacy assessment and reached the labor camp years, they could leave the camp.If you pass the basic compulsory education level assessment, you will also gain the right to take the recruitment examination for Xinghan League officials and join the Xinghan League army.

Generally speaking, in terms of human rights, the civilians and above in the Xinghan League are equal, and only the criminals' personal freedoms are restricted.

Of course, Liu Xinqi did not grant any special rights to foreigners.

are all equal.

"What do you want him to do?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"I want to use his pen to deal with the coming criticism from the old Confucian scholars." Lu Ren replied.

It seems that Lu Ren also saw Kong Jian clearly and knew that this man could become the sword of Xinghan Alliance.

"Have you ever asked him if he is willing to join our Xinghan Alliance?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"I have talked with someone, and there is no rejection or objection. But he didn't take the official recruitment exam, so I don't understand what he wants to do." Lu Zhin replied.

"He wants more." Liu Xinqi guessed.

The people Luzhin sent to recruit did not have enough status to give Kong Jian what he wanted, so he neither agreed nor refused.

The reason why he did not take the official recruitment examination was because he did not want to start from the bottom.

Even if he wanted to surrender his name and join the Xinghan League, Kong Jian, as a representative of New Confucianism, was not willing to be a soldier.

Fame and fortune!
Being famous is beneficial.Kong Jian continued to contribute articles to newspapers and publish and spread his New Confucianism, just for fame.

When fame reaches a certain level, power and benefits will follow.

"I asked Luo Gao to hire him. Since his pen is easy to use, let him work in the Propaganda Department. After the criminal law is implemented, he will be seconded to you." Liu Xinqi arranged.

The pen is easy to use, so it is natural to make the best use of it. It would be a pity to only use it during the promotion period of the new law.

The propaganda position is a long-lasting station without gunpowder, which is most suitable for Kong Jian.

"Okay." Lu Ren agreed.

On June [-], a new issue of "Baixin Xundao" was published.

The page space of this issue of Baixing Xunbao has doubled compared to previous ones. What has been added are some typical clauses in the "Xinghan League Criminal Law", and one or two cases are cited under each clause.

Starting from the [-]th to July [-]st, the next two issues of "Baixin Xundao" will double the space to publish special provisions in the "Criminal Law".

After July [-]st, the "Baixin Xundao" will have a fixed page to promote legal knowledge for a long time, so that people can understand, respect and abide by the law.

Returning home from get off work at noon, Liu Xinqi strolled along the street.

"Have you heard? From now on, it will be illegal to buy and sell children. Not only the middlemen will be sentenced severely, but the people who buy the children will also be sentenced severely." Some people talked to the neighbors: "Forcing and abduction will be punished by death."

"Hey, this method is a good one, but it pities the poor who cannot afford to raise their children. What will we do in the future?" the people talking sighed.

In troubled times, the family is too poor, sometimes selling the child is actually saving the child's life.

"Look, you didn't read today's newspaper. The newspaper said that all children who cannot be raised can be sent to the 'Sales Bureau' to be raised by the government."

"What about some families who don't have children and want to buy one but have no place to buy one?"

"You can go to the Salesian Bureau for adoption. The Salesian Bureau will always supervise the adoptive households to raise the child healthily." This citizen had already read the newspaper: "Anyway, the truth is that if you can't raise this child, you can give it away, but you can't follow it. Even if the money is involved, even my biological parents cannot sell their children."

While listening to the people's discussion about the new law, I walked home.

Generally speaking, they are positive comments, and the people's eyes are sharp. The "Criminal Law" formulated by the Xinghan League is for social fairness, not to safeguard the ruler's right to rule. Therefore, compared with the old law, it is more inclined to safeguard the interests of ordinary people. .

"Husband, you are back."

Zhou Yue was already a little pregnant, and she walked unconsciously steadily and slowly, as if she were a pregnant woman.

Judging from Zhou Yue's belly, even if she has a five-star general card, the extra pregnancy time should not be too long. Liu Xinqi estimates that he will be able to see his child by the end of the year.

"Back." Liu Xinqi stepped forward and helped Zhou Yue's arm.

"The food is ready. Come and eat quickly. You've been busy all morning and I think you're already hungry."

"Okay, eat."
