Chapter 1272 Characteristics of Nanyang (Second update, please subscribe)
"To be, or not to be: that is the question."

A sudden question made Li Yian fall into deep thought. This is the most classic line from "Hamlet", which can be translated into Chinese as

"To be or not to be, that is the question."

The reason why Margaret mentioned this line was obviously because of the recent "Zhang Mingguo Revenge Case".

Even this first family actually needs to live. Their lives are the same as those of ordinary families. After dinner, they will also gather together to watch TV or chat.

Sometimes, when they are together, they can't help but talk about current affairs.

At this time, Margaret said.

"I heard that the local procuratorate has formed a prosecution team headed by prosecutor Li Miao, whose members are all the best prosecutors in the local procuratorate, but Zhang Mingguo only has one defense lawyer."

Her tone was full of sympathy for the weak. After all, in this unfair trial, Zhang Mingguo was the weak one, and his defense lawyer was also the weak one.

Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be a biased attitude. Sympathy for the weak is also the most basic human nature.

"Oh."

Li Yian responded but didn't say anything. It seemed like he didn't care about all this at all. At this time, Margaret said again:

"Dear, do you think Zhang Mingguo is guilty?"

Although she is a princess, Margaret has always been a very interested person. Since she learned about this case, she has been paying close attention to it. She is also extremely sympathetic to Zhang Mingguo and also admires him very much.

It has to be said that such people who take pleasure in repaying their enemies will always arouse people's spiritual resonance.

Without waiting for Li Yian to answer, Li Yixuan said:

"Mom, whether he is guilty or not should be decided by a jury - no one can be punished for capital crimes or other serious crimes without being indicted by a grand jury."

Then he emphasized:
"A father should never use his influence to interfere with the judiciary at any time."

Margaret pouted at her son's rebuttal and said:

"We were just chatting at home, and no one else would know about it. Besides, Yixuan, don't you think he's very brave? He's just like the knights in the movies."

"It does not matter."

Li Yixuan shook his head and said:
"What's important is the law. Anyone who breaks the law should be punished."

Margaret asked after hearing her son say this.

"So if you encounter a similar incident, what would you do?"

"Trust the jury, trust our laws!"

"What if he is found guilty? For killing a traitor, for the past crimes of that traitor."

After a moment of silence, Li Yixuan said,
"I will respect the outcome of the trial."

"Really? I'm afraid it's the death penalty!"

Before Li Yixuan could answer his mother's question, Yi Yuan at the side said directly:

"We have to respect the result, but the law is nothing more than human feelings. The judge will make the decision at his discretion. Besides, even if it is the death penalty, it can be pardoned before the execution!"

After that, he smiled at his elder brother and said:

"Right, brother."

Li Yixuan smiled and said:

"Almost. However, we need to find an opportunity."

After that, he turned his gaze to his father again. When he was about to speak, Li Yian said:

"Yixuan, have you finished the homework I assigned you before?"

Li Yian directly changed the subject, which was actually a way to remind them that we don’t need to pay attention to this incident now so as to avoid affecting judicial justice.

Whether it is history or experience from another world, Li Yian knows very well that the interference of superiors in cases, or even their personal likes and dislikes, will fundamentally affect the fairness of the judiciary. Once the superiors influence the judiciary based on their personal likes and dislikes, then there will be no so-called fairness.

When the superiors interfere in the judiciary, others will follow suit.

Therefore, the most taboo thing for the superiors is to interfere in judicial trials. Especially that kind of special concern. Don't say what you want - this is for fairness and justice, in fact, it's just bullshit.

From the moment those in higher positions interfere with the judiciary, the judiciary has been interfered with, regardless of whether there is justice or not.

They just need to say "This is a case that you are concerned about", and perhaps the result will satisfy Li Yian, but what about the future?
What will it look like after setting a precedent for interfering in the judiciary?
In the end, it has to come up with a saying that "big cases depend on **, medium cases depend on influence, and small cases depend on relationships." This is not alarmist talk, but an inevitable development trend after the judiciary is interfered with artificially.

At this time, the best option is to keep your distance and not express any opinions.

In fact, what has been the most difficult thing for Li Yian in the past decade or so?
Just restraint!

It means restraining the many desires in your heart, including the desire to be Justice Bao.

In fact, a normal country does not need Bao Qingtian. That is why people long for Bao Qingtian to exist in the world.

Because the sky is unfair!

But is it the injustice of heaven or the injustice of the world?

Li Yian didn't know, but he knew that if he became Justice Bao, there would definitely be injustice in Nanyang.

For this reason, there is a crime of obstruction of justice in the legal provisions of Nanyang. It is a criminal offense and one of the indictable crimes. And the judge has the right to impose an appropriate sentence depending on the severity of the crime, without any constraints, so theoretically there is no upper limit on the sentence that can be imposed, that is, life imprisonment. But if it is a crime committed by a public official, the sentence usually starts at 15 years. In fact, this is also the characteristic of Nanyang justice - public officials commit crimes and are punished more severely! Therefore, in Nanyang, few officials will express their opinions and views on a case, let alone exert influence. Because it is suspected of a crime!

Although this is just a conversation between family members, it is better to change the subject.

"what……"

In response to his father's question, Li Yixuan quickly replied:

"It has basically been completed. I think the first step is to solve the financial problem of Yinglong Town and ensure that the local finances can be self-sufficient through some measures. This is the fundamental premise for the development of Yinglong. After all, finance is the mother of government. Without self-sufficient finances, it will definitely be difficult to maintain if it only relies on subsidies."

Nodding, Li Yian motioned for him to continue.

"So, I think Yinglong Post Office should be allowed to issue its own stamps."

Li Yian was stunned and puzzled by his son's suggestion.

“Issue your own stamps.”

Although Li Yian knew a thing or two about many things, he knew basically nothing about stamps. After all, in the era he lived in, writing letters... had long been history!
Besides college acceptance letters, what else is mailed?
Besides, it’s express delivery!

I've only heard of stamps, but who has ever used them?

His father's doubts made Li Yixuan's heart excited. He finally encountered something that his father didn't understand. This was really not easy!

So Li Yixuan explained.

"Because the printing and manufacturing cost of stamps is really very low... stamps are also very good souvenirs for many people. For example, in Liechtenstein, the traditional stamp kingdom in Europe, the stamps issued each year account for a very large part of the country's income. Although the stamps are not printed in the country, the profit is still very considerable."

Then, he added:

"In order to promote the public's understanding of Yinglong and to increase the sales of stamps, we can include Yinglong in geography books. It is estimated that the issuance of commemorative stamps can generate more than 20 yuan in fiscal revenue each year, which can basically guarantee local fiscal expenditure after deducting costs."

Margaret also agreed:

"20 should be the minimum. Commemorative stamps are expensive and the profit is also high. Unlike ordinary stamps, each stamp costs one dollar. For Nanyang, it should be no problem to raise about one million yuan a year."

"The prerequisite is that the stamps must be attractive enough and distinctive enough."

Li Yiyuan also agreed.

Obviously, compared to Li Yian, they all have a certain understanding of stamps.

"This is a good idea, at least it can solve the financial problem to some extent."

Nodding, Li Yian said:

"So what's next?"

“The next step is to create a livable environment!”

A few minutes later, when Li Yixuan took out his design, Li Yian was a little confused.

Is this the space city from science fiction?

"So, I think it is necessary to build a dome city and cover the entire city in a large glass cover. This dome can not only block the severe cold, wind and snow in Antarctica, but also produce a greenhouse effect, allowing it to create an independent ecosystem independent of the Antarctic environment."

When talking about the “independent ecosystem”, Li Yixuan flipped open another picture and continued to explain:

"This artificial ecosystem is like a large greenhouse, where we can grow trees, fruits and vegetables. Of course, people can also live freely inside and participate in the temperature of the local greenhouse in Yinglong. The temperature inside the dome should be around 20 degrees. This allows local residents to experience the sunshine in the cold winter and even enjoy the tropical seaside life on the beach."

Since his father assigned this homework, Li Yixuan has been using his little brain. He not only read a lot of information, but also went to the university to seek advice from some professors. Finally, he came up with the idea of ​​"dome city" and "independent ecosystem".

"At the same time, as the living environment improves and the population increases, Yinglong Town can not only develop fishing, but also build fishery processing workshops, thus achieving full financial self-sufficiency in a true sense."

Listening to his son's explanation and looking at the drawings he showed, another word emerged involuntarily in Li Yian's mind - space!
Isn’t such a dome city prepared for space?

If humans want to enter space, whether it is the moon or Mars, they cannot do without such a "glass cover". Only under the protection of such a glass cover can humans truly survive in space.

Moreover, in another world, scientists seem to have a similar plan - in areas with extremely harsh natural conditions, such as the poles, deserts, and even alien planets, they use ultra-large-span dome structures to create regional microenvironments suitable for human habitation.

From the earth to space, we need such dome cities!
"Dome city, independent ecosystem...ecosphere?"

Almost subconsciously, another famous experiment emerged in Li Yian's mind - Biosphere 2!

Biosphere 1987 is located in Arizona, USA. It is an artificial closed ecosystem built between 1989 and 1.3. It covers an area of ​​8 square meters and is about stories high. It is a dome-shaped sealed steel frame glass building. The design purpose of Biosphere is to explore the interaction network within the life system with different regional structures based on various biomes, and to prove that artificial closed ecosystems can be self-sustaining and support human habitation in space or other celestial bodies. There are several biomes and living areas, agricultural areas, and work spaces in the building.

Biosphere 2 planned two long-term scientific research missions: eight people living for two years with only sunlight input. However, their attempt failed. Although Biosphere 2 failed to achieve its design purpose, it was the largest-scale "independent biosphere" attempt by mankind.

At this moment, looking at the dome city designed by his son, Li Yian couldn't help but have an idea in his mind - can it be turned into the "Biosphere No. 1" of Nanyang?

There is no need for only sunlight input, this is just a test of the dome city. Through this experiment, it is proved that humans can live well in the dome!

Of course, this is only the first step. If this experiment is successful, we can build "Biosphere 2", a truly independent biosphere. Humans can live in it by just inputting sunlight - relying on oxygen produced by plants, relying on self-planting and self-production.

Although this is just a guess, if humans want to enter space, this step must be taken.

Seeing his father staring at his drawings and lost in thought, Li Yixuan asked:

"Dad, what are you thinking about?"

Looking back at his son and then at his drawings, Li Yian said:
"Space, I think...it might be suitable for outer space, suitable for us to build our own city on the moon!"
