"The law is the last straw for the people at the bottom to protect their interests!"

Most of the thick pile of documents in Li Tianyang's hands were Hongmen laws that were enacted and revised by the Legislative Council during these days.

In contrast to the laws inherited from the Tang and Song dynasties by the Ming Dynasty, with the more frequent exchanges with Westerners, the laws formulated by the Hongmen Legislative Council were closer to those of Westerners.

For all kinds of criminal acts, the punishment of the Ming law is extremely flexible, and in the hands of various officials, the upper may be directly assigned to the army, and the lower may only be subjected to dozens of boards.

However, the laws of Hongmen have made detailed punishment and management of various crimes according to their priorities, and even if they are tried by different judges, the differences will not be very large, and the principle of fairness that the court attaches the most importance to is ensured as much as possible.

He believes that the steady implementation of the court and the law can bring a fairer environment to the people at the bottom of this society, and will not be like the people in the Ming and Qing dynasties in this era, who can only let people eat and have no power to fight back.

Because of Li Tianyang's attention, the laws and regulations have become a matter that the people of Hongmen gradually become accustomed to and even rely on in their daily lives.

In the Ming Dynasty, unless it was absolutely necessary, the people were easily unwilling to deal with the government, which made the county commanders, prefects and other officials of the government high above and did not know the fireworks in the world; In Hongmen, even if it is a trivial matter, the people can go to the neighborhood committee to ask the staff of the neighborhood committee to call the shots and deal with the problem.

After a sentence with feelings, Li Tianyang waved his Chinese piece on the table and turned his head to pick up another report reporting the progress of various matters on the island.

"Well, this is good, thirty-three trade unions have been established in Keelung Town in two months, and forty-five trade unions have been established in Bengang, including all kinds of workshops and factories on the island."

"What? There is already a union case arising! ”

"The workers of the Bengang Cement Plant believe that the environment in the cement plant is bad, and the workers who have worked for more than two years have various physical problems to varying degrees, and the authoritative doctors of the Bengang Hospital have proved that it is very likely to be caused by the environment in the cement plant."

"The president of the cement plant's labor union led the employees to debate with the factory owner, demanding that the wages be increased, the factory environment should be improved, and the workers should be given health security subsidies."

Li Tianyang looked at this first union-led case with a calm face, even if there was no more detailed introduction to this case, Li Tianyang was able to roughly confirm that there was indeed a reason for this matter.

The cement plant within the scope of Hongmen is basically the industry of Hongmen Qixintang, as an important controlled material, Hongmen has been secretive about the cement formula, although some people on the market have begun to imitate cement, but its formula is still a huge gap compared with the Hongmen formula that is the same as the general cement plant formula in later generations.

Coupled with Hongmen's recent frequent military operations, there are countless fortifications and buildings that require cement, so until now, Hongmen's output and other cement are basically under their own control, and the cement factory is naturally under the control of Qixintang.

Pneumoconiosis, when Li Tianyang saw this case, the first word that came to his mind was this, because too many TV series and news in later generations were related to this word, which made it a little difficult for Li Tianyang to think about it.

This is a case that deviates from the current development of Hongmen, the crazy development of Hongmen today, just like the land of China after the reform and opening up of later generations, is more about the environment for the economy, cement factories, farms, paper mills and other related industries, the damage to the environment is very serious.

As long as you have the heart, go around the factories of related industries, and you can see the large-scale environmental damage caused by these industries: the area around the cement plant is gray, and basically no plants can survive; The ditches and rivers on the edge of the paper mill have stinky water and cut off fish and shrimp......

Although Li Tianyang has already diverted these polluting industries to the east, when he has won over the natives of the Bengang Alliance over the years, he has distributed these industries among various tribes, keeping them away from the local people of Hongmen.

But with the passage of time, what was originally just an expedient measure to trap outsiders has finally become a big problem for Hongmen itself after almost all the members of the Bengang Alliance returned to Hongmen and became members of Hongmen.

After the enlightenment of the people's wisdom, the indigenous compatriots are no longer as simple as before, at least they began to understand how to protect their legitimate rights and interests through legal means under the infection of the Hongmen concept.

It is only a matter of time before the environmental problems of the cement factory are found to be harmful to the workers' health, and if it is placed in a place like the Ming Dynasty, even if some workers really perceive that such an environment has caused them to be weak and sick, they are helpless.

However, it is different in Hongmen, which has guided the awakening of the people's self-thinking, and at the same time, the new laws and regulations issued by Hongmen are actually increasing the weight of vulnerable groups such as workers and farmers.

Now, aware of the environmental problems that have caused the workers' physical problems, the newly established cement factory trade union organization immediately regarded this incident as the first fire after the establishment of their union.

In order to make their case more convincing, they took the initiative to find doctors at Bengang Hospital and asked them to conduct a rigorous autopsy on the bodies of several former workers who had passed away due to various factors with the consent of their families, and came up with detailed data to prove that their request was not problematic.

"It's a bit of a headache!"

Li Tianyang rubbed his brows and smiled bitterly with a bit of self-defeating.

If, at the behest of the trade unions, many cement factories in Hongmen renovate their factory environment and increase workers' salaries and benefits, it will inevitably cause great financial pressure on Hongmen.

On weekdays, Li Tianyang naturally didn't blink an eye for such an expenditure, but after experiencing a big war outside the Northeast Pass, Hongmen's finances were already seriously overspending, and they even borrowed millions of silver dollars for armament expenses, and now they really have no extra money to spend on their finances.

However, if the trade union's case is dismissed on this ground, it will have a great impact on the trade union that has just been established under the guidance of Hongmen, and will even make people doubt this matter, and the role of the trade union in the future will be greatly reduced.

After pondering for a long time, Li Tianyang finally made a choice, and wrote his opinion on this document.

"All acts are carried out in accordance with the laws and regulations, and there must be no favoritism and protection of interests."
