Jiang Xianyun and the others exchanged glances with each other, Xiong Xiong stood up and asked, "Cultural Revolution, do you have specific herbs for these two bills?" ”

"There's an herb that I'll read for everyone." Saying that, Zhuang Jihua took out the prepared bill from his pocket, this bill is actually a synthesis of the labor laws of China and the United States in the previous life, such as the establishment of trade unions, the determination of the minimum wage, labor contracts, working hours, etc., in addition to labor benefits, although there are insurance companies in this era, but there is no concept of social insurance, and social insurance must be brought forward by the political axe, and social insurance cannot be promoted before the establishment of rule over the country.

There are many contents in this bill that trade unions have been pursuing, such as reducing working hours, collective bargaining by trade unions, work-related injury protection, etc., but Zhuang Jihua has also set up an online line, such as a strike, stipulating that before a strike, you must apply to the political axe, and the political axe must reply within 72 hours, and if it expires, it will be automatically recognized; If there must be a valid reason for non-compliance, the trade union can apply again within seven days; The same goes for the parade; In the event of a strike, the government has the responsibility and power to mediate, and the powers of the strike pickets are specified in detail.

The subsequent law on the protection of peasants focused on restricting land rents, allowing peasants to form peasant associations, and the maximum interest rate for loans made by people, and so on, and there were no provisions restricting peasant associations.

There are more incognito things in this bill, such as peasant associations, peasants have the freedom to establish peasant associations, and also have the freedom to join and withdraw from peasant associations, so that peasants can form multiple peasant associations if they wish, and secondly, the definition of peasants is people who work and live in rural areas, and according to this definition, landlords are also peasants.

Before anyone could ask questions, Zhuang Jihua said: "There is also a supplementary bill, the Private Property Protection Law, and these three bills are complementary. ”

Jiang Xianyun immediately understood that the private property protection law was Zhuang Jihua's measure to prevent him from eating too much, and he clearly remembered the two lines that Zhuang Jihua drew on the table, if he didn't eat enough, he would starve to death, and if he ate too much, he would die of hunger. The Law on the Protection of Private Property begins by stating that private property is sacrosanct and that no group may take possession of other people's property under any pretext, except for the special needs of the State and the declaration of the courts. According to this law, the possibility of an equal division of land between Soviet Russia and the confiscation of factories was ruled out.

Wang Jingwei looked serious, Zhuang Jihua's three bills will definitely set off a big storm at the Second National Congress, who supports and who opposes it can still be difficult to say, [***] side once proposed to make the minimum wage and working hours a policy, but many people in the Kuomintang opposed it, and even Liao Zhongkai at that time did not support it, not to mention the restriction of land rent and interest in the countryside, the reason of the Kuomintang is that these things can be freely agreed upon by both sides, and the political axe should not interfere.

In the same way, the Kuomintang once put forward the idea of restricting strikes and marches, but [***] clearly opposed it, and all three bills had things that the two parties advocated and things that the two parties opposed.

Who is for and against will only be known tomorrow.

The distinctive Zhuang Jihua style has constraints at all times. Chiang Kai-shek did not expect Zhuang Jihua to come up with such three bills, and so quickly, he was more pessimistic than Wang Jingwei and had no hope for these three bills.

Jiang Xianyun stood up and asked, "Cultural Revolution, can you tell me why these three bills were formulated?" What if I only pass one or two? ”

Yang Qigang looked at Jiang Xianyun in surprise, Jiang Xianyun meant that he wanted to support this bill; Obviously, Xiong Xiong and Yang Qigang felt the same way, and he also looked at Jiang Xianyun in surprise.

Zhuang Jihua nodded and looked at Jiang Xianyun gratefully: "Let me explain, the Second National Congress is just our party's congress, and the law should be promulgated by the political axe, but it can be promoted by our party, so what I want to submit to the congress is a bill to speed up legislation and establish a legislative committee, not these three draft laws, and I will submit these three draft laws to the Legislative Committee." ”

Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek shook their heads in their hearts at the same time, and now Zhuang Jihua exposed the weakness of his lack of experience, and the Legislative Council could completely revise the draft beyond recognition, and it could drag it out.

Who knows that Zhuang Jihua seemed to guess their thoughts, and then said: "I will suggest that the Legislative Council be composed of people from the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and if we can invite social elites to participate, each law can be passed by a two-thirds majority." At the same time, details of the progress of the law are regularly disclosed to the press, including who is in favor of it and who is against, or the legislative committee is simply open to the press, allowing journalists to cover and observe at any time. In this way, the people can keep abreast of the progress of the enactment of the law and why it was enacted, and this is a simple legal education. ”

Now everyone is confused, why is this happening? Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek were both guessing Zhuang Jihua's intentions, Wang Jingwei couldn't hold his breath, and first asked: "Cultural Revolution, can you explain why this is happening?" ”

"Okay, Chairman Wang," Zhuang Jihua nodded: "The law is complicated, but it is actually simple, the essence of the legal provisions is the compromise of the interests of all social strata and the protection of the weak, so the people who formulate the law should best come from all social strata, if [***] is the representative of the peasants and workers, then the Kuomintang is the representative of the merchants, intellectuals, small and medium-sized landlords and rich peasants, and if they reach a compromise together, then the interests of the capitalists and the interests of the workers, the interests of the landlords and the interests of the peasants will be balanced." The legal clause also determines that if the interests of one party exceed that of the other, the legal clause cannot be formulated, and no one's interests can be protected without the law. There is a saying in Western jurisprudence that laws that cannot protect civilians cannot protect the emperor. ”

"The purpose of opening up to the press is to make the ruling work of the Legislative Council more active, and if they are lazy, the people will know about it, and someone will scold him."

But no one laughed at this joke, because no one thought it was a joke. Chiang Kai-shek couldn't cry or laugh, saying that Zhuang Jihua was naïve, this method was really poisonous, and no one wanted to be scolded by someone on the street.

"Is it too early to enact a law, is it waiting until we have more power?" Jin Buddha Zhuang asked loudly.

"No, it must be done now, otherwise there will be uncontrollable chaos in the future." Zhuang Jihua stood up, walked to the front of the stage, and said with a serious expression. Zhuang Jihua was determined to promote the realization of these three laws, and he did not hesitate to go to war with anyone for this.

This chaos Chiang Kai-shek understands, Zhuang Jihua described it to him yesterday, Wang Jingwei seems to understand whether he understands it or not, Jiang Xianyun understands, but Yang Qigang is at a loss.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek felt that it was time for him to stand up and express his attitude: "I don't think there is anything wrong with it, it can protect the workers and peasants, and there is a law to follow in the future, and it should be supported." ”

Wang Jingwei was very cautious, he instinctively believed that this bill might cause great trouble, and the purpose of the two congresses was mainly to unify the ideological confusion caused by the Xishan Conference faction, maintain the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and further promote the national revolution; Zhuang Jihua's motion has the potential to change the course of the meeting and transform the idea of unification into speeding up legislation, but the reality in China is that the spirit of the law is lacking, and it is difficult for the law to restrain the behavior of the two parties. So Wang Jingwei wanted Zhuang Jihua to give up, at least for the time being.

"The purpose of the second congress is to unify thinking and maintain the three major policies, the Cultural Revolution, your bill may bring unnecessary trouble, it is not very appropriate to mention it now, you can put it in the next conference." Since Chiang Kai-shek had already made his attitude clear, Wang Ching-wei had no choice but to speak in a persuasive tone as much as possible.

Next time, it's too late next time; Zhuang Jihua said in his heart, but his face was very respectful to explain: "I think that the purpose of the Second National Congress is also to promote the national revolution, and legislation is also a kind of promotion of the national revolution, besides, after the establishment of the national political axe, it was declared that the construction of China was carried out with the righteousness of the three mings, but how to implement the righteousness of the three boils, our party did not put forward a practical strategy, and now we are telling the people who are still waiting and watching in the form of legislation how we will build the China of the three revolutions, and at the same time, it is also a clear signal to the suspicion that the national political axe will take the road of revolution in the Soviet Russian style, We will not replicate the Russian-style revolution in China, but will follow the path of the national revolution with Chinese characteristics, that is, the Sanming Cooking. ”

This is something that Wang Jingwei did not expect, indeed, according to Zhuang Jihua's three drafts, it is completely different from the Russian-style revolution, but like the bourgeois revolution in Britain and the United States, especially the law on the protection of private property, which is completely a copy of the French Revolution 200 years ago. Although Wang Jingwei is called a leftist leader, he is essentially the leader of the Kuomintang, although he is pro-communist but does not want to see it as a communist defector, the Xishan Conference faction claims that [***] want to subvert the Kuomintang from the inside, this statement is not the first to be created by the Xishan Conference faction, I believe it is not only the Xishan Conference faction, if you can use such a bill as an .......answer, maybe this is a good idea, Wang Jingwei thought to himself.

……

……

The next day, Wang Jingwei came forward to persuade the delegates to accept Chiang Kai-shek's suggestion, deal with the Xishan Conference faction lightly, and give them a chance to make amends, which showed Wang Jingwei's strong political strength; yesterday Chiang Kai-shek said that no one agreed with the opinion, and as soon as Wang Jingwei came out, it was immediately passed, and the congress resolved to expel Zou Lu and Xie Zhi from the party, and give written warnings to 12 people, including Lin Sen, Zhang Ji, Ju Zheng, Shen Dingyi, Shi Qingyang, Mao Zuquan, Fu Rulin, Shi Ying, Qin Zhen, Shao Yuanchong, and Ye Chuling; The conference gave Dai Jitao a sincere instruction, urging him to reflect on himself and not to make mistakes again.

This decision made Wu Chaoshu very excited, and he saw the difference between Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei, and it also gave him confidence again. But the mood changed in the afternoon.

Zhuang Jihua did not expect at all that the proposal to resolutely oppose him was the right wing of the Kuomintang headed by Wu Chaoshu and Sun Ke, and it was [***] who resolutely supported him.

After the meeting was dismissed last night, Jiang Xianyun, Yang Qigang, and Xiong Xiong rushed to Wende Building overnight, regardless of the late night, and woke up Chen Yannian to report to him the situation of the meeting that night, and Chen Yannian also woke up Zhou Enlai and other comrades living in Wende Building to discuss together, and the result of the discussion was to resolutely oppose Chiang Kai-shek's handling of the Xishan Conference faction, but the comrades working at the Whampoa Military Academy and the First Army did not come forward, and Yang Kuangan and Tan Pingshan came forward; Resolutely supporting Zhuang Jihua's three bills, Chen Yannian held that although these three bills had elements of restricting the workers' and peasants' movement, they also had provisions to protect the workers and peasants.

"These are also what we advocate, a year ago we proposed to clearly stipulate the minimum wage, working hours, restrictions on child labor, etc. However, the Kuomintang did not agree, and our party did not insist on it, and now that they have put it forward, we can support it. Chen Yannian is in favor of this proposition.

"However, the restriction of strikes and demonstrations has a great impact on the development of the workers' and peasants' movement." Yang Qigang reminded.

"I don't think it's anything, if it's really as you said, it's very strong, but there are more formalities, and if you want to strike, you can still do it." Feng Jupo smiled softly.

"This is the characteristic of the Zhuang Cultural Revolution!" Zhou Enlai also smiled and said: "He wants to use this to restrict the workers' and peasants' movement, and I am afraid that it is the right wing of the Kuomintang who is opposed." ”

Before the meeting the next day, Zhang Guotao received a notice from Chen Yannian that he had convened another meeting of provisional party secretaries, at which Zhang Guotao decided to accept Chiang Kai-shek's suggestion to deal with only the leading elements and treat others lightly; Regarding Zhuang Jihua's motion, Zhang Guotao agreed with the opinion of the Guangdong District Party Committee.

So Zhuang Jihua saw that the [***] side fully supported him, and the right wing of the Kuomintang went all out.

Faced with the reproach of Wu Chaoshu and others, Zhuang Jihua decided to accept the challenge, and he asked Wu Chaoshu rhetorically: "Representative Wu thinks that the United States is socialist or capitalist. Minister Sun (Sun Ke) came back from the United States, you can ask him, the United States also has a similar bill, so is the United States also become socialist? ”

"The employment is voluntary, and if he does not agree, he can not do the ............." Opponents have a lot of words.

"No, from the perspective of mastering social resources, the employer belongs to the strong group, and the employed party belongs to the weak group, and the compromise between the strong and the weak determines that the employer occupies a strong position in the relationship between the two parties, and the spirit of the law is to protect the weak and maintain social justice." Zhuang Jihua was angry, he sat on the conference stage, and answered all kinds of questions unequivocally and-for-tat.

…………

…………

Of course, he is not one fighting, in addition to [***], He Zhenhan and Zeng Kuoqing also mobilized representatives of the Sun Wenism Society to support him, as Deng Yanda, He Xiangning, Xu Qian and other Kuomintang leftists expressed their support one after another, Sun Ke and Wu Chaoshu found that they were at an absolute disadvantage, Wu Chaoshu understood that the passage of the bill could not be changed, and he immediately died down; Sun Ke was still chattering.

"Representative Zhuang, your bill is a mixture of capitalism and [***], not a mixture."

"Then I would like to ask, what is Sanming Cooking? How to realize people's livelihood? Zhuang Jihua asked sharply.

Sun Ke was stunned for a moment, the standard Minshengism is the Minshengism preached by Sun Yat-sen, Sun Yat-sen believed that Minshengism was similar to socialism, but later expanded this definition, defining Minshengism as equal land rights and controlled capital, and believed that the rights and interests after land appreciation should be nationalized, and railways, mines, and large backbone enterprises should be operated by the state. However, if we interpret the Minshengism according to this understanding, it will in turn prove the correct surname of Zhuang Jihua's proposal.

Zhuang Jihua saw Sun Ke's speech, so he struck while the iron was hot: "Minshengism is a problem in the final analysis, eating, as long as everyone can eat enough, the society will be stable, and there will be no turmoil; Look at the current factories and villages, where workers produce for a month and work in the countryside for a year, can their income ensure that they have enough to eat? I have here a social survey of the Sun Wenism Society, and the workers in Guangzhou work more than ten hours a day, and their monthly income is only 112 yuan, and a stone of rice costs 30 yuan; In this situation, I will strike, I will march, and I will demand a change of dynasty. ”

"Why are we revolutionary? The fundamental purpose is to make the people's life better, not only to eat but also to eat meat, otherwise why should the common people rise up and fight with us, if the life of the common people under the rule of the national political axe is as poor as under the rule of the Beiyang political axe, then where is the meaning of our revolution! ”

Zhuang Jihua was impassioned at the venue, just like a hot-blooded young man, Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai had never seen Zhuang Jihua so excited, so desperate, the two of them invariably began to re-evaluate Zhuang Jihua.

Deng Yanda also spoke in support of Zhuang Jihua, and his attitude was even more intense: "........., the rural land rent should not be higher than 20%, and the interest should not be higher than 50% of the bank interest, otherwise it should be severely cracked down on and the family property should be confiscated; When appropriate, consideration could be given to nationalizing the land and redistributing it to ...... political axe. ”

Zhuang Jihua was a little dizzy, this is simply calling for an agrarian revolution, [***] is still only vaguely talking about the agrarian revolution, Chen Duxiu even advocated that the Chinese revolution at this stage is only a national revolution, and the agrarian revolution will be carried out after the completion of the national revolution.

As Wang Jingwei feared, Deng Yanda's speech brought the congress to another topic, whether or not to implement land reform in the countryside, and the leading actors were Deng Yanda, Taizu, and Peng Pai, who finally showed their personal views, they believed that Zhuang Jihua's bill was only a reform, not a revolution, and that the revolution was to completely smash the shackles on the peasants.

On the other hand, Wu Chaoshu, Sun Ke, and others became supporters of Zhuang Jihua's bill, and they frequently quoted Zhuang Jihua's speech and the provisions of the bill; seeing that the direction of the congress was about to change, Wang Jingwei urgently suggested that Zhuang Jihua's motion be voted on, and as a result, Zhuang Jihua's bill was passed by a high vote, and even Wu Chaoshu voted in favor.
