Beiyang reactionaries

It is a suggestion by many university professors on workers' rights and interests.Duan Xun took it over and looked at it, and after less than a minute, he frowned deeply.I didn't even finish reading it, so I just threw it aside, and couldn't help but get angry: "The things that a group of people sat in the room and slapped their heads to come up with, really don't work with limbs and don't distinguish between grains and grains."

For these experts and professors, Duan Xun really found it funny.

A group of people don't consider the actual situation at all, and they think of things after patting their heads, and they are ashamed to give opinions to the government.Others were surprised to see Duan Xun like this.

Because Duan Xun has always attached great importance to the opinions of "experts and professors".When many policies are promulgated, many experts in this field will be convened for discussion and verification.

But this time they scolded them too hard.

"It's a good thing they figured it out. Eight-hour work system? Do you need to double your salary for overtime work? You can't work below that? All these people should be thrown into factories to work for a while, and look at the current situation in Chinese factories."

Duan Xun really doesn't know who these people who beat their heads to come up with suggestions are.Study what Chinese industry.

A group of daydreamers who don't know the world's fireworks.

"According to what they said, the cost of the factory will increase rapidly, and 90.00% of the factories in China will close down. If you can't go to the factory, then those poor families, who will feed them. A group of people who are full and don't know the suffering of the people."

"I also think it's nonsense."

Wang Yongjiang nodded.

Then he said: "There are many small handicraft factories. According to them, the wages of workers are estimated to be higher than the profits of the factories. At that time, all the handicraft factories in our country will go bankrupt. There are more than ten million handicraft workers in the small handicraft factories in our country. Many of them take time out to work and subsidize their families. If there are strict regulations, small handicraft factories go bankrupt, where will those people earn money to subsidize their families. Including our textile enterprises, most of them will go bankrupt. And in many poor families in our country, the man is fifteen At the age of six, you will go out to earn money to support your family. This is the labor force of the family. If it is completely banned, many families will not even have income. This suggestion is really outrageous, and it is completely out of reality. "

Duan Xun was a little angry.

This is nothing.Therefore, he said: "Mr. Liang, regarding the rights and interests of workers, there are three most important points. The first is the timely payment of salaries. Since you work for them, you must get the salary you deserve. The government should be responsible for this part. Second, the factory The phenomenon of beating and scolding workers must be stopped. This is not only a matter of condemnation, but also a matter of criminal law, and must be prohibited. Third, the age issue should be taken seriously, and child laborers who are too young should not enter the factory. But it is too high, It is best to be 15 or 16 years old. As for the working hours of workers, other aspects of insurance for workers, minimum wages for workers, etc., we must advance step by step and solve them step by step, and don’t think about solving them all at once.”

In order to develop industry, Duan Xun is ready to sacrifice the interests of the countryside, just to ensure that the countryside will not starve to death within a period of time.It is also necessary to sacrifice the interests of workers.If the industry wants to develop, if the so-called workers' rights and interests are now vigorously protected, then it is impossible for China's industry to develop.Of course, the interests of the workers are sacrificed, but they must be given hope.

Problem by problem solution.

That way those workers won't make trouble.

"I suggest here that we set up a workers' organization called the National Federation of Workers. It will be composed of government representatives and workers' representatives, and the two sides will consult with each other to see how to help workers resolve their rights step by step."

Again.

Duan Xun can rest assured that the workers' organization must be in his own hands.If he is out of his own control and controlled by others, it is impossible for Duan Xun to let go of his mind.

"Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for many years."

"Yes."

Time is slowly coming to December.

Each department is busy with its own business.The Ministry of Industry continues its own industrial plan, the Ministry of Agriculture is making statistics on this year's agricultural problems, and the newly established Supervisory Committee is patrolling the country together with the Procuratorate.

Of course, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is preparing for the establishment of the Overseas Chinese Committee and the Workers' Union.

Other departments cannot rest either.

For example, the Bank of China continues to strengthen the supervision of China's finance, and one regulation after another has been promulgated.Half a year has passed, and the Bank of China announced that it will increase the bank's reserve ratio again.Within two years, the reserve ratio should reach [-]% of the savings.It is necessary to continue to strengthen the bank's ability to resist risks.

At the same time, currency reforms continued to advance.

The cabinet uses various schemes to make the country use fiat currency.The purpose is to collect all the gold and silver coins currently scattered in the country.

But this is not easy.

Because many landlords prefer to hide gold and silver underground.In their eyes, banknotes are paper after all, and they are completely incomparable with gold and silver.In China, these landlords have the most gold and silver in their hands.

At this time, Duan Xun was talking with Chen Jiageng, one of the representatives of overseas Chinese in Nanyang.Towards the end of 1924, calls for the re-election of members of Congress grew louder in public opinion.

There are many people who are dissatisfied with the Provisional Senate.Especially the local councilors, this year has also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Duan Xun.Because government policy has been harming their interests.

But they dare not point the finger at Duan Xun directly.After all, Duan Xun was born as a warlord, and he was merciless when he was a warlord in the southwest region.The Lord who kills people's heads.

So they didn't dare to point the finger at Duan Xun, so they pointed the finger at the Provisional Senate.It is believed that the provisional Senate is too long and does not conform to the laws of the Republic of China.Call for an immediate re-election of Congress.

Under the pressure of strong public opinion, the Provisional Senate could not hold on any longer.

Yang Wei, the president of the interim Senate, made three points in November.

To reform the election of members of Congress.

The first point is about the issue of overseas Chinese.Because at present, China's nationality management is somewhat confused, and there is no clear regulation.The previous Beiyang government did not want to recognize dual nationality, but there are many problems left over from history, and the pressure is relatively high.Starting from Yuan Shikai, including Duan Qirui and Cao Kun, they have been afraid to publicly state that they do not recognize dual nationality.Because on the issue of nationality, many overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese have great opinions.

They believed that they went abroad just to make a living, and never thought of giving up their Chinese nationality.Some overseas Chinese have joined the nationality of other countries in order to survive.If China does not recognize dual nationality at this time, then they are no longer Chinese.This is unacceptable to them.

They think that they join the nationality of other countries in order to survive, not that they do not want to be Chinese.So it is very sensitive to nationality.

Among overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese, there are many wealthy people.Before, the Beiyang government also expected them to return to China to invest and borrow money from them, so they did not want to offend them.So the Chinese government has always taken a vague approach on the nationality issue.

But Yang Wei broke through this problem.

Therefore, the first point raised by Yang Wei is how to deal with the problem of overseas Chinese.How to deal with the voting rights of overseas Chinese in the election of members of Congress.

How to solve the nationality issue of overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese, and how their voting rights should be calculated.

The second issue is women's right to vote and to be elected.

Since Tang Qunying founded the China Women's Federation, China's feminist movement is currently in full swing.Of course, with the upsurge of the feminist movement, civil conflicts are also constantly emerging.

There were frequent conflicts between the clan, gentry, and many old scholars, female generals who supported the feminist movement, and new scholars who supported the feminist movement.

Aside from cursing and fighting in the newspapers, hands-on fights also occurred frequently, and there were countless other conflicts in private.Over the past year, the number of lawsuits in this area alone has risen sharply.This year's lawsuits in this area surpassed those in the previous 100 years.Even the newspapers scolded these feminists.It is believed that the number of divorced families in China has soared this year because of these people making trouble.

Yang Wei is now asking whether women should be given the right to vote in congressional elections.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

A sensation in the whole country.

One after another disturbed.Those who support the women's rights movement are cheering and supporting women's right to vote and be elected.Those who oppose the feminist movement are using the strength of the local councils they have and the public opinion they have to strongly oppose it.

The third, likewise, is the question of suffrage qualifications.

Those who have no permanent property are actually those who have no money. Should they be eligible for voting rights?Then there is illiteracy. Should those who are illiterate, who have little knowledge, qualify for the right to vote?

The three questions raised by Yang Wei are very noisy now.

Yang Wei's meaning is very simple.Address these issues first.After solving the problems of the right to vote and the right to be elected, congressional elections will be held.It is precisely because of this that the overseas Chinese in Nanyang also sent representatives to the north.

This is a big deal for them.
