The things that the empire and Japan were negotiating gradually became the people's after-dinner tea talks, and if it had been put in the past, every time they heard that the empire was going to negotiate with foreigners, then there would always be an indescribable pain in the hearts of the people.

Of course, they are just ordinary ordinary people, and they should not be told about the rise and fall of the country, the responsibility of the husband, and other big truths, even if they do, they may not listen to them.

In the past, there was a showman who had to do this, and he told the people the truth that the country rises and falls and the husband is responsible, but there is no one who takes care of him, and in the end he is very down.

Although everyone knows that when the country is strong, they will not be bullied, and no one does not want to make the country strong.

However, even if the country is really strong and comes back with compensation from abroad, the money will not be used on the people, even those princes and nobles will almost directly divide it up.

But when the time comes when the country needs to lose money abroad, then the problem is serious.

The suffering of the people is not because the state wants to lose money, but because every time they lose money, the state will always distribute the compensation to every person, which is equivalent to the upper class eating and drinking spicy food every day, living the life of a superior person, and they, the people, who have not even solved the problem of food and clothing, have to pull out some money from between their teeth to give the country, and then pay compensation to foreigners.

But even so, the high-level people still don't want to repent, and things like palace fights are even more fun with each other every day, and no one puts their minds on development at all.

Over time, the people got used to it.

Don't tell me any big truths, I don't understand these ordinary people, it doesn't matter if you want to lose money, the people of the whole country will come out together, and I will pay as much as others give, as for whether the country is dead or alive, what does it matter to me? Just take care of my own family's life, and you can do whatever you like.

But now the situation is different, in the early days of the establishment of the Chinese Empire, although it still insisted on paying indemnities to foreigners, but after a year, the indemnities were stopped, and with the tax exemption policy, in the past one or two years, the people's lives have gradually improved.

Of course, it's impossible to make things better just by relying on government tax exemptions.

More importantly, the state has set up a number of factories in various places, and these factories all need to employ people, and in order to balance the gap between the rich and the poor in various places, the state even recommends that each family only recruit one worker.

In fact, this is also a helpless move, and now the number of factories is not much, and it is obviously impossible to let all the people have jobs. So you can only use this stupid method, it is impossible to make them rich, but it is still okay to ensure that the family does not starve to death.

This policy alone made the imperial government's status in the hearts of the people instantly elevated, and it stands to reason that the state is so attentive to the lives of the people, and the people should be grateful. In fact, this is the case, most of the people are very grateful to the country and the emperor, but then again, as soon as the days settle down, and the minds of some dishonest people are gradually active, in the words of later generations, these people just want to make some big news.

No, the Imperial Supreme Court in Zhongjing had just been established, and it ushered in the empire's first complaint.

The prosecutor is an old Xiucai named Li Wenxuan, who is 69 this year, and has not gone further for decades since he was admitted to the name of Xiucai during the Tongzhi period.

The previous one who talked about the rise and fall of the country on the street and the responsibility of the husband was this old Xiucai, a native of Liaocheng, Shandong, as early as half a year ago, when the empire announced the establishment of the Supreme Court, this old Xiucai began to move his mind.

It took half a year to collect countless evidence, and I originally wanted to go directly to the capital to litigate, but then I heard that the Imperial Supreme Court in Zhongjing had been established, and there were already staff members in it, and a group of people were transferred there every month, so Lao Xiucai came to Zhongjing with materials, and then, a month ago, a complaint was submitted to the Imperial Supreme Court and the Imperial Government was sued in court.

In fact, Li Wenxuan originally wanted to sue the emperor directly in court, but then he thought about it, the emperor is the emperor after all, and he only went to sue the emperor when he was an old showman from the previous dynasty, what is going on? What if the emperor gets angry and orders him to be killed?

Therefore, when Li Wenxuan submitted the complaint, he was still very scared in his heart, after all, the people did not sue the officials, this is a tradition for thousands of years, but Li Wenxuan just wanted to try it to see if the promise given by the imperial government was a lie.

However, what Li Wenxuan did not expect was that just three days after the pleadings and materials were submitted, the Imperial Supreme Court sent someone to give him an accurate reply, and the pleadings submitted by Li Wenxuan were complete and in line with the court's rules for filing cases, and the Imperial Supreme Court had officially filed the case and contacted the Imperial Government to coordinate the trial time, the specific time to be determined.

After learning the news, Li Wenxuan was even more shocked and couldn't even close his mouth.

He just wants to give it a try to see if the promises given by the imperial government are true, and he also wants to make some big news, and now the rules allow it, although it is only superficial, but as long as Li Wenxuan dares to be the first, then he will definitely be able to go down in history, whether it is a success or failure in the end, he will be remembered by history.

Besides, he's a bad old man with half of his body in the ground, is he still afraid of the emperor's revenge? It can even be said that the bigger the trouble, the safer Li Wenxuan will be, and the safer his family will be.

Well, in fact, Li Wenxuan doesn't have any family, his wife died ten years ago, he has no children under his knees, and now he is a lonely single old man, but as long as he has a family and a room, who will risk his life to do this?

A week ago, the Supreme Court found Li Wenxuan again and informed him that the Supreme Court would hear the case in half a month, and asked him to appear in court on time.

In addition, Li Wenxuan's opinion was asked, and after obtaining permission, the Supreme Court released the announcement of the trial and invited a large number of media to attend the hearing.

Well, most of these media are actually foreign media, and there are only three domestic media, two of which are official coal founded by the imperial government, and one is a private media founded by Shanghai businessmen, mainly newspapers.

There are a lot of foreign media, and they are also curious about what will happen if the people take the supreme government of the empire to court in this ancient empire with official status.

Because the trial was open, this time the Supreme Court trial was held outdoors, so that more people could come and observe.

Of course, in order to allow people to hear the content of the trial clearly, the Supreme Court has built a set of audio equipment, although the sound quality is very poor, but for now, it is still very high-tech.

Today, the day when the Supreme Court is hearing the case, early in the morning, many local people in Beijing and businessmen who come and go have come to the trial site.

The Zhongjing Police Station and the garrison also sent their own personnel to maintain order, and it was dark outside, and tens of thousands of people came to observe.

However, no one thought that Li Xiucai would win the lawsuit this time, after all, he was accusing the imperial government, and the people did not fight with the officials, but Li Xiucai wanted to go off the rails, to put it mildly, after today, if Li Xiucai could still die properly, it would be regarded as his ancestor burning high incense.

"Tsk, this Li Xiucai is really bold, even the imperial government dares to sue."

"How bold is it, how many good deeds has the Imperial Government done for our people since its establishment? Not to mention the construction of the capital of Zhongjing, if it were not for the fair treatment of the imperial government, how could a farmer like you and me go there to find a job? ”

"That is, the imperial government also gives the lowest salary standard, this fucking person earns more in a month than in a year, if it weren't for the imperial government, I'm afraid we would all be hungry now."

"If you want me to say, this Li Xiucai just doesn't know what to do, the empire has just been established, and many things need to be done slowly, this is like let's build a house for the empire, you always choose the site first, then prepare the materials, lay the foundation, and finally build it little by little, right? It's remarkable that the Empire can do this now. ”

"Who doesn't say yes? After hundreds of years of Qing Dynasty, which year didn't we exploit us and couldn't even fill our stomachs? The empire has only been established for less than a year, and I don't know about other places, but at least in our vicinity of Zhongjing, although every household can eat enough, at least they will not die of hunger, and some of them will eat this is true. ”

"Hey, this is also the generosity of the imperial government, and it is willing to give Li Xiucai a chance to accuse, if I go up, I will directly imprison Li Xiucai, but I have to die by myself."

The people who were listening were talking about the good of the empire.

They are all bankers with little culture and no knowledge, but they know very well that the empire is different from the former Qing government, which can be seen from their current lives.

To put it more simply, if you talk to them about national ideals, it is better to tell them what to do to fill their stomachs.

Not to mention now, even during the Anti-Japanese War, most of the people did the same, you can't blame them for not taking a firm position, fundamentally speaking, the biggest mistake is still at the top.

And some passing businessmen have also talked, they have been to many places, they have seen many people, more or less have had dealings with the government, so there are still some different views on today's matter.

Even, in order to be able to see today's trial, some people have stayed in Zhongjing for half a month, and some people who have already passed through Zhongjing have returned after hearing the news.

As time went by, more and more people were observing, and the media also arrived at the scene one after another, and took a few photos of the people who were observing, which made the people even more surprised. (To be continued.) )
