In many cases, when the cost of crime is too low, the law will inevitably become the protector of criminals.

This sounds ridiculous, but in fact it is very realistic, the legal people use to restrain people's tools, restrain the bad people at the same time will also restrain the good people, and the definition of "good people" and "bad people" is often vague in the law, which will inevitably give people a chance, law-abiding people will certainly not study the law all day long, they only do what the law allows, and those who break the law and commit crimes, as long as the law does not prohibit it, they can try.

And in most cases, the cost of trying is very low, even if it is unreasonable, as long as the law does not prohibit it, those with bad intentions can do whatever they want, and those who abide by the law will be constrained.

Of course, this is rare in Vladivostok, where the government follows the continental legal system and has a jury at trial, which is more useful than juries in many states in the continental United States. There are even times when the law has to give in to the jury, and if the jury finds a crime, even if the law does not explicitly provide for it, the jury can impose an appropriate sentence.

This point is very scary, one thing must be clear, the norms of the law, must lag behind the practical significance, many times criminal behavior will promote the perfection of the law, the meaning of the jury lies in this, even if the law does not stipulate the scope, the jury can also be appropriately sentenced, which is a wake-up call for more people, don't think that the law is not involved in the field of lawlessness, as long as the jury determines the criminal behavior, even if it is in the legal gap, then the criminal behavior will be punished accordingly.

Of course, this model in Vladivostok is not legal standardized, but who cares, everyone grits their teeth when it comes to criminals, and even if sometimes the jury sentences are beyond the norm, no one will blame the jury system for being too harsh.

Well, in fact, in the Chinese community, there is basically no such phenomenon, the clan punishment that prevails among the Chinese, in fact, is similar to the jury system, many times, the conventions between clans are more binding than the law, who will risk the world's condemnation for a criminal? Among the Chinese, there is also a saying of "righteousness to destroy relatives", this is not ruthless, this is called giving up a small family for everyone.

The jury in Vladivostok is not fixed, but in general, the jury is close to 20 people, half of whom are state or city councilors, and half of the remaining half are senior lawyers, and then the residents' representatives.

There are many non-governmental organizations in Vladivostok, such as rifle associations, such as agricultural associations, and Chinese chambers of commerce in various places, and the last representatives are produced from these non-governmental organizations, and they are also deeply hated for the rule breakers, so in Vladivostok, if a person violates the law, or if his behavior touches the bottom line of morality in the whole society, then he will definitely pay a deep price, which will make him remember it for life.

"Ryan, we should pay attention to improving the role of women, not only in the family, a lot of jobs that do not require heavy physical labor, women will perform better than men, if you can, I hope that Vladivostok is the state that values women the most in the United States, and now local women do not have the right to vote, you say, if women in Vladivostok have the right to vote, what about this idea?" Li Mu is willing to improve the social status of women, but it cannot be coercive, and the whole society must reach a consensus.

It is a pity that in modern society, although it is nominally a patrilineal society, men are in a dominant position in society, but in the family, the bonds that maintain a family are often women, but women have not achieved a social status that matches their social roles, which makes Li Mu regretful.

Of course, Li Mu absolutely does not hope that the practice of improving the status of women in Vladivostok will develop into the origin of the rise of the feminist movement, in fact, Li Mu does not oppose the feminist movement, but Li Mu opposes all disputes provoked under the pretext of the feminist movement.

In another time and space, the feminist movement of the republic has reached a perverted level, many people shout that women should be self-reliant and self-reliant, but they do not understand the meaning of the word "self-reliance and self-reliance", if you want to be self-reliant, you must first be self-reliant, many girls earn a salary of 3,000 yuan, but they hope to have a boyfriend with a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan, and they have to completely control their boyfriend's income, and they are in a dominant position in the family, which is a kind of unclear self-positioning, even if you find such a boyfriend, in the end the boyfriend will be unbearable to leave her, And if the consequences of not being able to find it are more serious, then everyone does not meet their standards.

In fact, at this time, it is more important to consider whether your own requirements are unrealistic, "Phoenix Man" corresponds to "Peacock Woman", these two words should actually be very inspirational, but the times have given these two words too much negative information.

They can't be blamed, in that era of information explosion, how many people can maintain their inner persistence?

Li Mu couldn't keep it himself.

"The right to vote, of course, is very good, but we can't avoid a problem, most women don't have jobs, their daily life is to serve the family, they rarely go out, they don't understand the outside world, they don't know how far society has developed, so how can this guarantee that they can vote for the right person with their sacred vote?" Ryan Matthew is not opposed to giving women the right to vote, and what really worries Ryan Matthew is that women don't guarantee that their votes will work as they should.

Unlike rational men, most women are emotional, which means that their choices are easily influenced by the objective environment, which is very dangerous, when the Republican Party has an absolute social advantage, women's votes are insignificant, but now the Democratic Party is gradually threatening the Republican Party, and the votes are gradually approaching, Ryan Matthew does not want to see any surprises, even if it is just a possible accident.

"Voting rights are just the beginning, and women will gradually get out of the house and do more social work, and you should have found out by now that in some positions, men are not as good as women, and we should give women more opportunities." Li Mu is not unprincipled to improve the social status of women, there are data that the family dominated by women is more conducive to the stability of the family, which fully explains the status of women in the family, perhaps many people do not admit, but the fact is that if the whole society is based on the family unit, then women are the basic core of society.

It seems that it is not necessary for Li Mu to be entangled in this, but in fact, Li Mu has his own plans.

If Vladivostok improves the social status of women and does not cause violent social turmoil, then after returning to New York, Li Mu will suggest that more local state capitals learn from Vladivostok's experience.

A fact that cannot be ignored is that in recent presidential elections or local elections, the Republican Party's advantage is gradually shrinking, and even the advantage has been reversed.

Li Mu put the treasure on those women who have not yet obtained the right to vote, and the machismo of the Democratic Party will definitely not notice the power that women have, which is a good breakthrough, if it can really be implemented smoothly, then in the next two or three decades, Li Mu will not have to worry about the Republican Party's support rate.

"Ream, this is not something we should care about, neither of us is a member of the National Committee, this seems to be a headache for the National Committee, now that we are all in Vladivostok, let's put more thought into Vladivostok, if you have time, I suggest you, expand the power of the Vladivostok branch of the Horse Construction, although the Japanese and Koreans are very useful, but we can't continue to hire those Japanese and Koreans, it is not in our interests." Ryan Matthew understands Lee's intentions, but doesn't think women can change the Republican Party's decline.

"Well, you're right." Li Mu didn't want to argue with Ryan Matthew, although Li Mu didn't agree with Ryan Matthew's opinion, but Li Mu was not a dictator.

"A bad news-" Jeff Li interrupted the exchange between Li Mu and Ryan Matthew, and when he saw Ryan Matthew, Jeff Li hesitated for a moment.

Li Mu didn't speak, but just casually made a gesture of continuation, so that Li Jiefu didn't have to worry about it, and said anything directly.

"Ream, bad news, today a group of about 100 people tried to cross the border into Vladivostok, but was intercepted by the Qing border guards, about 20 to 30 people were killed by the Qing border guards, the rest were arrested, the Pacific Company arranged people to answer at the border, but unfortunately, they have not entered Vladivostok, two people from the Pacific Company were hit by stray bullets, one of them was seriously injured-" Li Jeff's report did not grasp the main point, this is normal, the Qing government is indeed against Chinese immigrants to Vladivostok, but it was the first time to use weapons, which made Li Jeff a little dazed, and he didn't understand why the Qing border guards had the confidence to shoot at the employees of the Pacific Company.

"Wait—Jeff, you're saying that someone from the Pacific Company was injured in the conflict?" Li Mu keenly grasped the key, this is called drowsiness and someone will send a pillow immediately, even if there is no conflict, Li Mu is ready to create one or two conflicts, now it's okay, this is an excuse to send it to the door.

"Yes, we had people who were injured in the clashes, and when they found migrants trying to cross the border, the Qing border guards opened fire, and the people from the Pacific Company tried to stop them, but they were hit by stray bullets—" Jeff Li repeated, and did not see anything wrong.

"Stray bullets - hehe, Jeff, don't you understand the probability of stray bullets hitting people? It may be an accident for one person to be hit, but if two people are hit, and one person is seriously injured, then it is no longer just a stray bullet, Lane, the archery skills of the Qing border guards have not advanced to this level? Li Mucai didn't believe how well-trained the Qing troops were, and the stray bullets hit two people, even if it was a regular US army unit, he didn't dare to say that the results were so good.

Regarding stray bullets and injuring people, this probability is actually similar to that of artillery hitting mosquitoes, perhaps not as efficient as artillery hitting mosquitoes, Li Mu does not know how many bullets each soldier of the Qing border guards in this era will carry when he goes out on a mission, but it will definitely not reach the point where he can hit people casually.

In fact, in the Pacific War, the average US military could kill and wound an enemy with an average of three tons of ammunition, and in the four-year Great Patriotic War, the Soviet army spent an average of 30 shells, 1,300 bullets, 9 grenades, and 230 kg of aerial bombs to kill and wound a German soldier.

If this data is not graphic enough, then during the Vietnam War, the US military fired an average of 50,000 rounds to eliminate an enemy.

Then, during the Iraq War, the same unit of ammunition consumption soared to 200,000 rounds.

Is that the shooting performance of American soldiers so bad?

No, no matter how bad it is, it is better than the shooting results of the Qing troops, so it seems that the casualties of the Pacific Company are no longer accidental injuries, but a deliberate provocation at all.

Really!

Li Mu was racking his brains to find an excuse to provoke a war, but he didn't expect that the excuse would be sent to him so easily.

"Send a telegram to Leo, let Leo go to the Prime Minister's Yamen, let the Prime Minister's Yamen give a reasonable explanation, and attach appropriate compensation, if the Prime Minister's Yamen can't do it, then this is our declaration of war." Li Mu will not let go of such an opportunity, although what Li Mu said is "reasonable", but everyone knows that Yan Shun's next request must be blackmail, the kind of blackmail that the Qing government cannot accept at all.

Fortunately, Yan Shun didn't expect the Qing government to accept Yan Shun's blackmail, and it was best if the Qing government didn't agree, so Yan Shun reserved the right to take all means to retaliate.

"Is this going to war?" Ryan Matthew realized it in hindsight and only reacted half-loudly.

"If I can, of course I don't want to start a war, but it's not something I took the initiative to provoke, Qing border guards shot at the employees of the Pacific Company, this is a very serious political incident, we must not sit idly by, I think, it's time to issue a general mobilization order, so many members of the rifle association, we must start it in time, our compatriots are being threatened by Qing border guards, this is a provocation to the dignity of our American country, we must be tougher, so that we can prove, The Rifle Association has the ability to keep all members safe. Li Mu secretly changed, obviously it was a small-scale border conflict, but he had to make a big fuss.

In fact, it is not a trivial matter, unless Li Mu is indifferent and allows the people of the Pacific Company to be shot dead by the Qing border guards.

But how is this possible.
