Chapter 564: The Crossing Conference is in progress

Liu Guannan argued on the basis of reason, and repeatedly explained to the travelers the importance of expanding the patrol house and the reason for pursuing criminal responsibility at the age of twelve.

In the end, Liu Guannan's bill was divided into two parts, and the planning of the six police districts, the reorganization of the patrol housing system, and the "Juvenile Delinquency Punishment Law" were passed in principle, but the issue of patrolling and expanding the number of arrests was shelved. Cheng Yiyi was authorized by the Crossing Conference to calculate a data report to the Crossing Conference based on the salary and treatment of the expanded patrol and the approximate office expenses for one year, and then the Crossing Conference decided how much to expand according to this amount.

Some of the following issues were not so important, and the General Assembly quickly made a decision.

Sun Tianhao proposed that a Canton Fair would be held in Guangzhou in October this year, at the same time as the Qiong Fair. The reason why it should be retained is that a group of people have put forward their own opinions on whether there will be a conflict between the Canton Fair and the Qiong Fair at the same time. The crossing conference authorized Sun Tianhao, you can do this this year first, if there is really any problem in the actual operation, then find a way, next year you can separate the two trade fairs.

Tan Jing also submitted a bill to the congress to amend the "Marriage Law" and implement monogamy. But Tan Jing's proposal made a small change. Tan Jing also knew that it was unrealistic to let the Ming Dynasty people practice monogamy now, so this bill did not involve the issue of the Ming Dynasty people, but only stipulated that monogamy should be implemented among the traversers, and all traversers and the children of the traversers would not be allowed to have new concubines from September 1. As before, this bill was opposed by some people, and among the opponents were Xiao Junzhe's mother and Leng Tianbing and his wife. This shocked a large number of traversers, how could they object, would Li Lin agree to Leng Tianbing's concubine?

In fact, Xiao Junzhe's mother and Li Lin have the same idea, their husbands are resolutely unable to take concubines, but Xiao Junzhe and Leng Yujun can't help but take concubines. Both families have only such a precious son, and they have to wait for him to spread out, and it is the common idea of these mothers to marry a few more daughters-in-law and have more grandchildren.

The voting process was interesting, some of the people who did not agree with monogamy voted in favor, but some of the people who originally agreed changed their flag and voted against. The result of the vote was still no, this result was something Tan Jing didn't expect, but this matter is not a big deal in Yulin Bay, now that the result is out, no one thinks about it anymore, and monogamy is still not implemented.

On behalf of the previous committee, Qin Songwang submitted to the congress a proposal for the reform of the Yulin Bay civil service system and the establishment of a federation in other prefectures and counties. The motion calls for the two disciplinary departments of the Patrol and Arrest Houses and the Customs Department and the Bank to be separated and directly responsible for the crossing of the conference, and the rest of the departments will be merged to form a single administrative department to be responsible for the future planning and development of Yulin Bay. At the same time, after discussing with Liu Guannan, Shi Xianyang, and Fan Qiuming, Qin Songwang requested the establishment of a law administration to carry out judicial prosecution. Now all prosecution work is theoretically in charge of the Bureau of Justice, but Liu Guannan is also the director of the Bureau of Justice, which means that the patrol room is actually doing this. The investigation and prosecution work are handled by a single department, which will cause many problems in terms of procedure, so Qin Songwang asked that the responsibilities of the two be separated.

The bill was debated for two whole days, because it involved not only the civil service system, but also the hierarchy of various departments. At present, although the responsibilities of each bureau are different, they are basically at the same level, and no one can control anyone. Now that the Chief Secretary and the Attorney General's Chambers have come up with a department, whether the level of each department should be downgraded by one level is the reason why many bureau secretaries are reluctant.

Qin Songwang gave an explanation for this: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have more and more administrative departments now, and all kinds of things are also very complicated. When I was the chairman, I found that no matter what department, no matter how big or small, they came to the committee, and the committee was actually very tired. The purpose of setting up the Chief Administration is not to raise or lower the rank, but to centralize some matters. The Committee only grasps the general direction in general, which will improve a certain administrative efficiency. ”

The congress made a relatively major change to the entire civil service system.

The nine-member committee remains unchanged, and in addition to the chairman, a separate post of vice-chairman has been created, and the vice-chairman is also the chief secretary for administration, with no rank. The Industrial Bureau, the Commerce Bureau, the Agriculture Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Health Bureau, and other departments that are generally not open to the public will all be placed under the leadership of the Chief Secretary for Administration.

The Bureau of Justice will be abolished and the Law Attorney General's Office will be responsible for the examination and prosecution of cases, and the Patrol House will only be responsible for the preliminary reconnaissance tasks. The Attorney General's Chamber, the Inspectorate's Office, the Customs and Excise Department and the banks are not subordinate to the Chief Secretary for Administration, but are directly accountable to the Commission.

The powers of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) have been curtailed, and although nominally the ICAC is still directly accountable to the Commission, its powers of independent arrest and prosecution have been suspended, and any arrest and prosecution must be subject to the consent of the Attorney General's Chamber. This is also a helpless move made by the General Assembly in response to the reaction of the Ming Dynasty among the civil officials for a period of time, and it is still not possible to copy the practice of later generations. Moreover, the scope of the ICAC's investigation is limited to the internal system of the document management system, and has no investigative powers over the military and other cases.

As for the bill to set up a comprehensive federation on Hainan Island, it did not cause much controversy, and everyone knew that it was now urgent to control the whole of Hainan Island as soon as possible, and this bill was quickly passed and authorized to be implemented by the committee.

Shi Xianyang submitted a "Yulin Bay Demonstrations and Petitions Law" to the congress, which made specific provisions on the issue of petitions and processions. The law was passed by a large number of votes, and most people thought there should be such a law. Now the people of the Ming Dynasty have to march and petition at every turn, and even civil officials and even patrol have learned, and there may be people marching every day in Yulin Bay without certain restrictions.

No one expected that in response to this issue, the presidents of the two courts would fight, and the first unconstitutional review mechanism in Yulin Bay would be activated. Pham Thu Minh, as president of the Constitutional Court, submitted a statement to the Crossing Assembly that the Petition Law is a serious violation of the spirit of the East China Sea Pearl Convention, and that if the Crossing Assembly does not revoke the law, the Constitutional Court will make a final ruling under the review mechanism.

"The 10th Amendment to the Pearl Convention of the East China Sea clearly stipulates that 'no law shall be enacted by the General Assembly on matters such as: establishing a state religion or prohibiting freedom of religious activity; deprivation of freedom of speech or of the press; Deprived the traverser and the Ming Dynasty of the right to assemble peacefully and to petition the traversal assembly and the federation. 'I ask you to take your mind that it is clearly stated that the right not to assemble peacefully and to petition the General Assembly and the General Assembly shall not be denied. And our Petition Law imposes strict restrictions on this power, which in essence is tantamount to depriving it of the right to petition. ”

"Lao Fan, the problem should be looked at from two aspects." Shi Xianyang stood up and retorted, "We have to look at the current situation, we are not a peaceful and prosperous era now, and danger will envelop Yulin Bay at any time, so stability is the most important thing." The "Petition Law" does limit certain powers, but it cannot be called deprivation, and anyone can peacefully assemble and petition in accordance with the provisions of this law. ”

"Restriction is deprivation." Fan Qiuming didn't let it go at all, "It's just a little better." The Petitions Act provides that petitions will be suspended if there is a possibility of causing unrest. So I would like to ask what exactly could have caused a riot and why it was not clearly stated. That alone would be an excuse to be deprived of power at any time. Loss of freedom and power for the sake of stability, I don't know what you guys think, I myself will never agree. ”

The two of them argued for most of the day, but neither could convince anyone. Xia Yang made a final speech as the chairman of the committee: "Two, stop for a moment. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to say a few words. The "Petition Law" has been voted and passed, and in terms of our legislative process, there is no problem at all. So, the law is now in force. ”

"I don't agree with you." Fan Qiuming shouted.

"Old Fan, don't worry, listen to me." Xia Yang continued, "According to our rules, the Constitutional Court has the power to initiate a constitutional review mechanism, which is also the original intention of our establishment of the Constitutional Court, to correct the mistakes of the majority. As President of the Constitutional Court, Pham Thu Minh also has the right to initiate the process and make a final decision. I therefore suggest that we follow the procedure and await the final decision of the Constitutional Court. ”

After Xia Yang finished speaking, Shi Xianyang and Fan Qiuming stopped talking, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, everything is according to the procedure, this is the best solution.

In response to Shi Xianyang's "Petition Law", Fan Qiuming contacted some people overnight and also temporarily submitted a motion to the crossing meeting, demanding that the road of speech be opened in Yulin Bay. Anyone can submit applications and suggestions directly to the General Assembly and the General Assembly, and the application of more than 100 people must become a bill.

This bill did not cause much controversy, because although there is no such provision now, in fact, Yulin Bay has always done this, and the General Assembly and the Federation have never suppressed any applications and suggestions. The bill was quickly passed.

After four or five days of the meeting, everyone was a little tired, and the committee decided to adjourn the meeting for one day, because the next two bills would be significant, that is, the issue of fully opening up all industries submitted by Qin Songwang and the issue of comprehensive production and industrial development submitted by Shi Xianyang.
