Beiyang reactionaries

After Chen Bulei looked at the time, he immediately interrupted the reporter to continue asking questions.The judicial police and the security forces participating in the security work immediately separated the reporters to clear the way forward for the cabinet responding team.

Duan Xun asked Zheng Yuxiu to walk with him again.

That's how it went to the Supreme Court.

411

On October 1923, 10, the case of an Anhui businessman suing the cabinet officially opened at nine o'clock in the morning.

This is the first time that the court has been tried publicly since it was independent of and parallel to the cabinet.It was also the first case that Wang Chonghui took over after becoming the president of the Supreme Court and a justice.

Wang Chonghui personally tried the case.

Very lively.

The case was tried in the largest court of the Supreme Court due to the large number of observers.The large court can accommodate more than 200 people.

It's full, there's no empty space.

And it was full of soldiers from the bailiffs and cabinet guards.Because there are too many important people who came to the hearing today, there cannot be even the slightest problem.

As it is on the inside, it is even more so on the outside.

Those without certificates and those who have not passed the examination are not allowed to enter.Even those reporters, as long as they didn't pass the review, they could only wait outside the court.

But for the first time in court, there wasn't much debate.

The two parties just put forward their own views and produced their own evidence to provide legal basis for each other's views.It's a warm up.

The views of both sides have also come out.

Anhui businessmen are the plaintiffs, and their request is that their investment is legal and their assets should be protected by law.The cabinet can confiscate the assets of the Japanese, but their shares in the mines in those places should be preserved.Not only kept but the profits generated these days, the government should also return them.

The cabinet's response was simple.That is, all the contracts for contracting mines are illegal, and Japanese businessmen and Anhui businessmen have obtained these mines by illegal means.Therefore, it is legal and reasonable for the government to confiscate these mines, and there is no problem.

Both sides kept putting forward their own evidence around such a claim.The claims of both parties, as well as the various legal provisions proposed, have been well responded, because today's lawsuits have many different things.

Those reporters were very excited.

I keep writing and drawing in my notebook.

"Brother Xinye, what do you think of today's lawsuit?"

Two and a half hours.

The lawsuit went on for two and a half hours, and Wang Chonghui announced the adjournment at 11:30 after listening to the evidence presented by both parties.After lunch, the court session continued at 01:30 pm.

Duan Xun participated in this hearing just for an attitude.

Went on the first day and that was it.Will not continue to go in the future.But Duan Xun immediately discussed the issue with Yang Wei, the chairman of the provisional Senate.

"The lawsuit is average, but the things outside the lawsuit are wonderful."

"Ha ha."

Duan Xun smiled slightly.

Yang Wei is a smart person, and he knows a lot of inside information even if he doesn't explain it clearly.The content of the lawsuit is actually very ordinary, but around the lawsuit, Duan Xun's various combinations of punches are dazzling.

The courts became independent, the cabinet increased its prestige, and female lawyers were introduced.

A small case was turned into a joke by Duan Xun.With one case, Duan Xun played several cards.

"Then what do you think of me doing things other than the lawsuit? Will it work?"

"meeting."

Yang Wei thought for a while and said: "China's official-based culture in 2000 has left behind a strong traditional thinking. Chinese scholars have always believed in learning and excellent officials, and scholars have a strong concept of family, country and world. Therefore, the country The government sets some examples and guides some public opinion, which still has a great influence on scholars. Many scholars will be willing to follow the tone of the government.”

If you are good at learning, you will be an official.

Even though the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China experienced major changes that did not occur in 2000, this kind of thinking remains the same.Scholars study, many people still think this way.Therefore, they are very willing to follow the government's instructions.

So China's system, the government's guiding force is very strong.

"But not enough."

Duan Xun shook his head.

Staring at Yang Wei, he said, "Scholars, scholars, can indeed follow the government's policies. But there are also many scholars who are stubborn, especially those of the old school. But in those counties, those who are really powerful and powerful It is precisely these people who are responsible. When they arrive in the countryside, it is these old-school scholars who preside over the order of the village. They are in charge of the rules of the county town and the rules of the clan in the countryside. They don’t say they accept new viewpoints, they even Whoever wants to change this local order, they will strongly oppose it."

The resistance of traditional forces is great.

In fact, sometimes, it is not because their ideas are too backward or too stubborn.If the stubbornness and resistance of these traditional forces are regarded as their own backwardness and rejection of new learning, this is to superficialize the problem.In fact, many of the defenders of traditional forces have learned new learning, and their understanding of new learning is no worse than those who advocate new learning.But they are still fighting against new learning, and they are still defending traditional forces.

why?

In fact, the reason why these traditional forces are stubborn is that they oppose new learning and theories.

It's all about interests.

In the old order composed of old theories and concepts, those traditional forces are those with vested interests.The old order maintained the interests of those traditional forces.However, the emergence of new theories and concepts is destroying the old order created by the old theories and concepts.Those new theories and new concepts want to create a new order and break the old order.This is the violation of the interests of those traditional forces.

Interested.

Both father and son brothers may turn against each other.

Not to mention a force to maintain the old order.

Just relying on the current propaganda and guidance, it is completely impossible to change the old order.

"Yes."

"But, Brother Xinye. I have to change the old order of the place. I can't allow the place to have a place that is outside the government's policy, and I can't allow the clan power to control the order in the countryside. But if I do it myself, then I have offended too many people. At present, the provisional Senate cannot just hang on like this. The new Congress must be re-elected. These local traditional forces are all local power factions. If I offend too much now, many policies will be hindered. And When it comes to congressional elections in the future, maybe we will lose miserably."

"Yes. It is indeed inappropriate for the prime minister to take action at this stage."

Yang Wei agreed with Duan Xun's point of view.

Duan Xun can promote and appeal, but he must not personally suppress traditional forces.Because these traditional forces are all local power factions.

These people are well-known and powerful in the local area, and they can be regarded as a group of rich and powerful people.And they are not one or two people, but a class.At present, half of the local councils, including county councilors and provincial councilors, come from families of these traditional powers.

If Duan Xun forced them, they would definitely resist.

How to resist?

Not cooperating with government orders, constantly making things difficult for government policies, government appointments, etc. in the provincial and county councils.Duan Xun can control Beijing and the Congress, but he will have big problems when he gets to the local area.
