Chapter 14 Decentralization and Protection of Rights and Interests (1)
Sure enough, after the content and explanatory documents of these two topics were issued, they caused a huge repercussion among the veteran parliamentarians, and every member of the parliament knew the weight of these two issues, so they also read the two documents very carefully, understood the contents, and considered whether it was in the interests of the entire crossing group, the group they represented, and their own personal interests.
The next day, Wang Yunpeng came to the Senate and first explained the reasons for the Executive Yuan's proposal of these two issues.
First of all, it is explained that in the first five-year cycle, the territory owned by East China is actually only Shandong Province, with a population of about 35 million, so it can better control the situation by relying on more than 6,000 traversers, even if it is a collective dictatorship, there will not be too much of a problem. However, after the war in the Far East, the territory and population controlled by East China increased exponentially, and it is of course impossible to control such a large area and such a population by relying only on more than 6,000 people in this area.
And the goal of East China in this 5-year cycle is to establish the country, once the founding of the country, the territory and population will further increase, it is even more impossible to rely on these traversers to control, and it is necessary to select a part of the local naturalized people to assist the traverser in management, and the power must naturally be released. Now in the army, the native naturalized people have begun to serve as regimental officers, or in the navy as the captain of small and medium-sized warships, which is already a middle and senior officer, and in the administrative system, there are also local naturalized people as county magistrates, so in daily life, the power of East China has actually been released. And with the expansion of East China, there will definitely be promotions.
Once the power is released, it will be difficult to take it back, and it is impossible to take it back, because now the traverser can't control it at all, although the local naturalized people who have obtained power at present are politically reliable and absolutely loyal to East China, but before that, they are only acting under the guidance of the traverser, and after they really grasp the power, what will happen, no one can predict.
But one thing is certain, that is, people's desires are endless, when there is no power, it is okay, once the power is obtained, it will inevitably pursue higher power, even if this generation of native naturalized people may be grateful to the traverser, cloth can meet the current power, there will be no higher requirements, but their next generation, the next generation will inevitably pursue higher rights and space, this is due to the second generation, the third generation of different starting points, second, The gratitude of the three generations to the traverser will gradually decrease, and the demand for their own rights will naturally be higher, and the demand for power will naturally be different.
In the face of this kind of demand, of course, it is not possible to blindly rely on suppression, because there are only how many people can be crossed, and it is impossible for the crosser to expand on a large scale in a short period of time, and for the huge China, the number of crossers is not much meaningful even if it is several times larger, so instead of remedying it when the contradiction intensifies, it is better to take the initiative to give up a power when the crosser can still control the situation, and formulate a set of rules and systems that are relatively beneficial to the crosser, but at the same time give the local naturalized people a certain space for progress, everyone acts under the same rule system, shares power, and then seeks development according to their own ability, Bi Jing China is so big, even if one power is ceded to the native naturalized people, the rest is enough for the traverser.
The establishment of the Advisory Council and the convening of the Advisory Council are the first steps in this regard.
Next, Wang Yunpeng introduced the [Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Veterans]. First of all, Wang Yunpeng clearly defined the correct meaning and usage of several titles.
The veterans, specifically referring to the 6,357 crossing personnel. Everyone else, including the descendants of time-travelers born on this plane, even if both parents are time-travelers, as long as they are born on this plane, they are not allowed to use the title of Patriarch. For the local naturalized people who are loyal to East China and have made great contributions to the establishment and development of East China, they can be replaced by the fathers.
In fact, East China has long determined that the traverser is called the veteran, but it has not formed a special title for the traverser, and this time in the form of legislation, the word "veteran" is exclusively defined and becomes a unique title for the traverser, in order to show the difference from the local naturalized people.
The descendants of the patriarch refer to the children of the patriarch who are directly related by blood in the time and space, and also include the adopted children who are not related by blood, but have gone through the adoption procedures and made note in the relevant departments to determine the adoption relationship. If there are both children of direct blood relations and adopted children, they can be regarded as descendants of the patriarch. However, the adopted child must be an orphan in order to obtain the status of a descendant of the patriarch, otherwise even if the adoption procedure is completed, it cannot obtain the status of a descendant of the patriarch. If the patriarch decides to dissolve the relationship with the children, they will not enjoy the status of descendants of the patriarch.
Adopting children is also counted as descendants of the patriarchs, firstly, it is in line with the habits of the old time and space, secondly, it is also to take care of a group of patriarchs who are older when they travel or have no direct blood relationship for other reasons, and on the other hand, it is also to expand the scale of the descendants of the patriarchs. Although it has happened for 7 years, there are only more than 1,300 children of the patriarchs, of course, with the stability and expansion of East China, it is expected that in this 5-year cycle, the children of the patriarchs will have a certain large increase, but the base of the patriarchs is only so much, so for a long time, the total number of patriarchal children will not have a breakthrough increase, if you add adopted children, you can increase the number of descendants of the patriarchs in a short period of time.
At present, there are about 600 children raised by the elders who have gone through and paid attention to the adoption procedures, but the end of the Far East War, the number of people killed in East China is about 6-70,000, and a group of war orphans will be left.
The spouse of the patriarch refers to the spouse of the patriarch in this time and space to determine the relationship between husband and wife, including the so-called concubine. At the same time, the Executive Yuan also requires that the patriarch also register and file the concubine room in order to determine the identity of his patriarchal spouse, of course, as a distinction, the first spouse and the second spouse can be used...... And so on. If there is no registration, but if there is an actual husband and wife relationship, such as living together and having children, although they cannot be regarded as the spouse of the patriarch, they can also enjoy certain rights and interests, and their daughters still enjoy the status of descendants of the patriarch.
After the divorce, the spouse of the patriarch will be automatically dissolved, but the children born to him and the patriarch still enjoy the status of descendants of the patriarch, if the patriarch dies and remarries, they can retain the status of the patriarchal spouse, but the children born after the remarriage cannot enjoy the status of descendants of the patriarch.
This is the first time that East China has recognized the existence of concubines, and before that, East China has always taken a vague attitude towards concubines, but now it is impossible to be vague to formally determine the protection of the rights and interests of the patriarchs, so according to the principle of recognizing de facto marriages in the old time and space, the concubines are also counted as the spouses of the patriarchs. And the patriarch is required to register the concubines, firstly, to facilitate management, and secondly, to take this opportunity to turn some outer chambers and young juniors into regulars. And out of respect and protection of the principle of women's rights and interests, after the death of the patriarch, you can also retain the identity of the patriarch's spouse, after all, East China ** has little interest in the chastity archway.
In this way, the patriarch, the descendants of the patriarch, and the spouse of the patriarch constitute the patriarch as the core of the ethnic group, and other people such as wives and students are not among them.
The right of the senators is first and foremost to run for the senators, which is also one of the greatest and most useful rights of the senators. At present, the Senate is the highest authority in East China, with legislative power, and the Senate members have the power to initiate bills and vote in the Senate, which is of course quite important.
However, with the expansion of East China, the Senate can not occupy the legislative power forever, and the Advisory House that is now being discussed is actually preparing for the new legislative body in the future, although at present the Advisory House only has the right to propose and no decision-making power, but its future development direction must be the new ** legislature, of course, as for that day, it is not called the Advisory House, it is then to discuss.
But when that time comes, the Senate will not be abolished, but will coexist with the Advisory House. In fact, the design of this system is very similar to the bicameral system of some countries in the old time, where the Senate is equivalent to the Senate or the House of Lords, and the Advisory House is equivalent to the House of Representatives or the House of Commons. In this way, at least one of the houses is controlled by the senators forever, and thus the legitimate rights of the senators are ensured.
The second is the sharing right of the veteran fund. That is, the establishment of the veteran fund, the veteran fund will be divided into 6357 shares, each veteran accounts for 1 share, equity shall not be transferred, and the establishment of the fund board of directors, responsible for the management of the operation of the fund, the source of the fund is to be part of the East China ** founded enterprises classified as the subsidiary of the veteran fund, or the East China ** enterprise profits are extracted from the part, injected into the veteran fund, in addition to the benefits obtained from the foreign war will also be extracted as part of the veteran fund, such as the Far East War, will be drawn from the indemnity 5%, for the veteran fund.
Now not counting Russia's indemnity, East China's ** reparations from Britain, France, Japan and the Netherlands have reached 180 million pounds, 5% is 9 million pounds, and it is about 1,400 pounds, about 13,000 silver dollars, which is also a lot of money, and this is only a part of the patriarchal fund.
The right of the patriarchs is to participate in the election and supervision of the board of directors of the fund, as well as the annual dividend of the fund. If the Senate ensures the political power of each senator, then the sharing of the senator's fund is to protect the economic interests of the senators, which can ensure that each senator will have a stable source of income, even if he does not participate in any work or hold any position, he can live a relatively prosperous life.
