Chapter 1006: Provocation Next
The second knowledge meeting poured out a large number of veterans and active-duty soldiers, and they hung Gong Shuang, and Yu Guke caused a wave of confusion, most of the parliamentarians had never seen such a scene, and they panicked for a while, and each looked for a place to hide, and some even hid under their seats,
Not to be outdone, veterans and active-duty military personnel confronted the lawmakers who accused them, and some even brandished rifles or bayonets in their hands. Threatening to give the congressmen "a little color" The atmosphere in the congressional chamber suddenly became tense and full of gunpowder.
The reporters were also busy taking pictures, and the technicians who were in charge of relaying the radio signals were a little panicked and did not know whether to cut off the signal immediately, and everyone in the conference hall was sweating.
Tang Hualong, chairman of the Senate of the National Assembly, saw that the situation was a little out of control, and he was a little at a loss for a while, he really didn't expect that Yang Ben's move to invite the meeting of the National Assembly would cause such a big trouble, he was afraid of being made a scapegoat, so he simply ran off the rostrum and hid in the lounge, and now, even the person presiding over the meeting is gone.
When Tang Hualong ran off the rostrum, Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi, who was sitting on the rostrum, saw it, but he didn't stop him, just looked at Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China who was sitting next to him, and then said a word.
"This matter is not easy to do, I am afraid that the situation will continue to stalemate." "This matter" naturally refers to Zhao Bei's proposal to expand the scope of voter selection and give veterans the right to vote, which is really difficult to do, because this involves many interests, especially the interests of the congressional financiers, the current parliament is actually a rich man's club, and those who serve in the parliament are either rich people themselves, or professional politicians hired by the rich people, these people naturally want to serve the financiers, or simply serve themselves, and when formulating policies and laws, they will naturally tilt towards the side that is beneficial to the financiers and themselves. This is also the principle of money politics, and now, if Zhao Bei wants to change this principle, it will definitely anger a large group of people.
If you want to change the current rules of the game in Congress, you must first amend the corresponding law, and the Congress, as the highest legislative body, obviously will not easily make major concessions on the issue of the scope of voter selection, after all, voters elect members and even presidents, which is directly related to the formulation and implementation of government laws and policies in the future.
But on the other hand, as a professional politician who has been presiding over the work of the center for a long time, Tang Shaoyi is very clear about Zhao Bei's character and style of doing things, this person definitely does not fight unprepared battles, since he raised his suffrage issue in front of the congressmen and through the radio, then, it can only mean one thing. That is, Zhao Bei has made all the preparations, as for what the Congress thinks, he doesn't care, if necessary, Zhao Bei may take "extraordinary measures" to resolve the stalemate.
But judging from Zhao Bei's performance today, Tang Shaoyi can't see that he wants to take "extraordinary measures" immediately, so Tang Shaoyi thinks that the situation will "stalemate" There are also sufficient reasons, after all, Zhao Bei keeps saying that he will abide by the law and respect the law, so I am afraid he will not eat what he said so soon. At the very least, he needs a period of planning to find enough excuses to take out Congress.
Kill Congress, this is not the usual sense of "kill it." Rather, it is a metaphor that if more than half of the members of Congress are only Zhao Beima's leader, then this Congress is tantamount to decoration, and the issue of veterans' suffrage seems to be coming with that goal.
Tang Shaoyi vaguely felt that Zhao Bei's action was to solve the obstacle of the Congress, otherwise, he would not have openly spread the news that the Congress voted to approve the president's martial law order, which in itself was weakening the prestige of the Congress, and when the veterans learned that even the Congress had turned their backs on them, it is conceivable that they would never take the Congress in their eyes again.
Now, Tang Shaoyi's worries have been confirmed by the facts, the Congress has really become the target of public criticism, and those congressmen have also become a thorn in the side of the petitioners, so when Yang Ben, who made a big fuss at the venue, was asked by the congressional staff, "Please." After going out, those enraged veterans and active-duty military personnel will desperately break into the congressional chamber and make a big fuss in the venue, demanding justice.
Although he thought about it so much, it was just Tang Shaoyi's thoughts, and after Tang Hualong hid in the lounge, Tang Shaoyi restrained his thoughts and said such a summary to Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China.
Li Yuanhong couldn't see any expression on his face, but he was small, "Hmm." sighed, did not make any comments, still sat on the rostrum, watching those soldiers make trouble.
At this time, Zhao Bei was still standing on the speaker's seat, watching the soldiers and parliamentarians scolding each other, but he did not take immediate action, and it was not until the two sides were about to start their hands that he took the small gong and struck it.
"Boom"
As soon as the gong sounded, the smell of gunpowder at the scene faded a little, and people quieted down and looked at Zhao Bei.
"There's no need to make any noise. Yang Ben beat people, which is really wrong in itself, but he did it out of anger, and it is understandable, Speaker Tang maintained the discipline of the venue and drove Yang Ben out of the venue, which itself is beyond reproach, but the actions of the congressional staff are too rude, causing public indignation, which is the main reason for the chaos at the venue, but it is not the root cause, and the root cause lies in the political differences between the two sides. Veterans demand the right to vote, which is their legitimate demand, but some members of Congress oppose giving veterans the right to vote, which is the root cause of the conflict, so if this problem is not resolved, even if the conflict is temporarily resolved, in the long run, confrontation and conflict between social classes will still be unavoidable. It may even endanger national security. ”
Seeing that Zhao Bei was going around and around, not mentioning the topic of who would provoke first, but turning the topic back to the issue of suffrage, those parliamentarians who opposed the tough position shouted again, but they were quickly suppressed by the voices of the soldiers.
Seeing that even Zhao Bei couldn't control the emotions of the parliamentarians. Tang Shaoyi was a little flustered, hurriedly stood up, and walked off the rostrum to persuade him, but neither side of the quarrel bought his account, until the gong sounded again, and everyone was quiet again
It was Li Yuanhong who struck the gong this time, he saw Tang Shaoyi going to persuade him, but he was still motionless like a clay statue, which was a little unreasonable, so he had to go to the speaker's side, and took the small gong that Mr. Speaker used to maintain order in the venue from Zhao Bei's hand, and then struck it a few times.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you have to say, don't push and shove like this, now, this microphone is still connected to the electric horn and the radio, you are arguing here, don't you make the whole people see the joke? Besides, this radio can be heard everywhere, even by foreigners, and wouldn't it be an international joke to let foreigners know what is happening in our Congress? Where is this meeting, this is simply a vegetable market. ”
In the end, it is the president. Li Yuanhong said a few words to silence the congressman, but those soldiers didn't buy his account much, and after a little quiet, they quarreled again, and the lame captain Yang Ben, who was carried by the soldiers, was also put down, limped to Li Yuanhong, raised his head, and pointed to Li Yuanhong who was standing next to the speaker. Called a few words.
"Who doesn't know that most of the members of this parliament are big guys, and they don't bother to care about the lives and deaths of us poor people! If you want to reason with them, that's a fantasy! The only way to deal with them is to be ruthless! ”
Speaking of this, Yang Ben turned his head and shouted at the soldiers: "Brothers, you say. Am I right? ”
"Yes!"
The petitioners shouted in unison, which was much more powerful than that of the members of Congress. Just one voice made Li Yuanhong retreat.
"Zhenhua, this situation is not something I can handle, it's better for you to deal with it."
After speaking, Li Yuanhong stuffed the small gong into Jiubei's hand again, and then sat back in his seat, making up his mind to continue to play his clay role.
Zhao Bei took the gong, looked at Yang Ben who was standing in front of him, and secretly said in his heart, "This person is a good supporting role", so he picked up the gong hammer and struck the gong again, so that everyone was quiet for a moment again.
"Now, keep your mouth shut! The parliamentarians were less restless, and the soldiers remained calm. The president was right just now, this is the National Assembly in session, not the vegetable market doing business, this is a place for deliberations, not a place for sprinkling and messing around. Now, I hope that the soldiers can leave the meeting hall first, and we will talk about the unfair treatment of Yang Ben later, and now, the meeting must be continued. ”
As soon as Zhao Bei said this, the group of troublesome soldiers looked at each other, and then carried Yang down and retreated, before leaving the venue, a small group of active national defense forces also specially gathered, followed the password, and walked out of the conference hall, the people had disappeared behind the door, but the neat footsteps still echoed in the ears of the parliamentarians.
This is a demonstration, the congressmen pondered in their hearts, and then looked up at Zhao Bei, but saw him with an angry face, as if he was very angry with the actions of the soldiers.
"It's a scheduled play!"
Zhou Xuexi, who was sitting in the corner, thought so, and he also said this to Zhang Sai and Bu Tingbi, and the two of them also felt quite reasonable, and nodded again and again.
"Let's see, what else can he play?"
Zhou Xuexi said again, and the two people around him also nodded, so they both looked at the speaker's seat.
Sure enough, after Zhao Bei was indignant, he went on to say something, which caused an uproar in the venue.
"The country is the country of all the people, not only the country of a small number of people, the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, the "horseman" here refers to both the poor and the rich, the people contribute to the country, the country must also provide a fair social environment for the people, which is reflected in the distribution of wealth, it is necessary to focus on reflecting this fairness. According to the research of European economists, when a society has maintained peace and stability for a long time, its social structure may be solidified, and it is difficult for the lower class to enter the upper class of society, and the upper class will achieve far greater advantages in social competition than the lower class of society because of the accumulation of wealth, this kind of society is an unfair society, which will lead to the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
As I said earlier, social transformation is divided into political and economic levels, and now, let's talk about social transformation at the economic level.
Zhao joined the revolution and struggled for his ideals, precisely to transform the society, make the society more fair, so that all members of the society can obtain a relatively fair competitive environment, overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, and establish a republic, which only completed the first step of social transformation, and now, the second step of social transformation has come, the time is ripe, so small should be further transformed now, and as a key point of transformation, I think, the most important thing to solve is the unfair problem of economic competition.
Addressing the unfairness in voter selection is a political issue, and on the economic side, I am going to formally submit a bill to Congress, which focuses on "estate tax." When the inheritance of the national inheritance exceeds a certain amount, the corresponding inheritance tax must be paid, and this tax implements a progressive collection system, and the more inheritance inherited, the higher the tax to pay, so that it will be difficult for the future country to appear chaebol forces that threaten social fairness and justice. The ancients called "the gentleman's ze, the fifth generation and beheaded" is also the same truth. ”
As soon as Zhao Bei's voice fell, there was an uproar in the venue, and many parliamentarians were stunned, just hearing the term "inheritance tax" is enough to make people tremble. According to this theory, there is nothing fairer than whining and wailing, whether it is an emperor or a general, or a village and grass people, whether it is a law-abiding citizen or an outlaw, after all, there is no escape from the judgment of the natural law, before which all beings are equal.
The use of inheritance to tax is also up to you Senator Zhao to come up with!
With a "Ye Tom", someone fell in the corner of the venue, and then the councillor shouted.
"The vice president fainted! The vice president fainted! ”
I really fainted, one is angry, the other is urgent, this inheritance tax is simply aimed at the chaebol, can you not be angry?
If expanding the scope of voter selection is just a move to draw salaries from the Holy Dien, then this proposal for inheritance tax is simply a provocation by Zhao Bei.
Now Zhao Bei is really the only one who has the courage and strength to challenge the chaebol, and he chose a good time.
"He's really going to change society."
Tang Shaoyi sighed, then shook his head.
