On August 20, 1918, the New National Assembly (Anfu Congress) was formed, with a total of 800 members, known as the "Eight Hundred Arhats" in history, of which the "Anfu faction" accounted for more than 330 people, becoming the largest faction in the New Congress. Wang Yitang and Liu Enge are the chairmen and vice chairmen of the House of Representatives. Regarding the bribery of the "800 Arhats", Deng Hanxiang recalled as follows: "Zhang Zuolin allocated 3 million yuan to Duan Qirui, and Lu Yongxiang decided to allocate 1 million yuan to me regarding the funds of the sports congress. Therefore, I asked Zhang Shizhao and others to lobby members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and those who were willing to go to Shanghai to convene the National Assembly would first give 300 yuan for travel expenses and 300 yuan for monthly living expenses. In addition, I allocated another $40,000 to distribute to them. The so-called 800 Arhats, there are about 700 people who take money from me. Later, Cao Kun bribed the election with 5,000 yuan a vote, and these people who took the money from me sneaked back to vote for Cao Kun, and these people were called Pig Cub Councillors at that time. —The Three Heroes of Beiyang as I Know Them, p. 114.

The first target plane, Jinan City, Shandong Province.

At this time, Wang Fan (disguised as Tang Wei) was conducting research with Chen Yunn and others in Jinan to investigate the implementation of various basic policies after the founding of the People's Republic of China. According to the information of "Xiao Yin", we can generally see how high the so-called democracy was in the Republic of China at that time, and the Western Senate and House of Representatives system was more like a theater and trading ground that did not hang a fig leaf in the eastern land of Yanhuang. Celebrities exchange fame for money, and predators look at all this coldly with the way and eyes of dogs.

Of course, Wang Fan himself does not approve of dictatorship, after all, absolute power brings absolute **. However, he deeply felt that without the core elements of modern Western civilization such as "contract, credit, transaction, and law" as the supporting cornerstone, it would be absolutely unrealistic and extremely ridiculous to just take the "skin" of the Western democratic form of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and think that the "true" democracy of the people and the "really" strong country can be implemented. The Philippines in later generations proved that without the step of popularizing education on a large scale, opening up people's wisdom, and awakening people's rights, the so-called return of government to the people will only bring about a small number of people with intentions and careerists in the end. Therefore, the implementation of universal suffrage and the return of government to the people in 50 years are still somewhat idealized and hollow, but at least the people's foundation and education level at that time will at least make democracy a lot higher than the gold content of the Republic of China era.

As the capital of Shandong Province, Jinan City is not far from the sea, but its own development is like an inland city, and the seafood in the city is very light. On the eve of last year's liberation, the little devils looted the urban area of Jinan, and later counted as many as 10,282 destroyed houses, killing and wounding more than 2,000 people. And due to the chaotic management, when Jinan was first taken over, the situation of lack of food and coal, no fixed place to live, and no winter clothes in the whole city was very serious.

According to the emergency situation at that time, Wang Fan urgently provided a large number of daily necessities, and helped repair the damaged power supply and water supply measures, and repaired the railway artery connecting the outside city, so that the whole city could return to the normal rhythm as quickly as possible. The city will be easy to manage, and the public security, transportation, and public health undertakings will naturally be on the right track.

"Compared with half a year ago, Jinan has changed so much~~" Chen Yunn looked at the clean and tidy streets, the crowds coming and going, they were dressed neatly and neatly, and most of them walked in and out of the stores with a smile on their faces, buying the goods they liked or needed.

"The cadres of Jinan City have indeed done a lot of work, and as far as I know, in the past six months, no less than 100 mass forums have been held, large and small, and many problems that actually exist and occur in society have been solved." Peng Zhen introduced with a smile.

"100? So much? What are the problems? Wang Fan was rarely down-to-earth because he was usually with Duo Lao Mao and others to discuss things at the strategic level, so he asked with great interest at this time.

"At the beginning, the common people did not know about our party's policies, thinking that after the Red Party came, everything would have to be handed over to the public, so the initial focus of the work was to spend a lot of time publicizing our party's policies. Later, with the passage of time, various practical problems outside the scope of various government policies began to emerge, such as the lack of understanding that rural land must be 'redeemed' in order to equalize land rights, some people strongly demanded the liquidation of the unscrupulous bosses who opened factories under the Japanese Kou, and some people did not understand and were dissatisfied with the salary increase for sanitation workers and other intellectuals in excess of the salary increase for teachers and staff, and so on. In addition, there are more than 2,000 households in Jinan City, such as spinning, matches, flour, cigarettes, dyeing and weaving, oil extraction, ironworkers, etc., and they have formed more than 30 trade associations. In order to better solve these problems, we regularly hold mass forums at all levels in various districts of the city. Wu Fuchun, who was in charge of the actual work in Jinan, replied.

"You have done a very good job, and these trivial things are the 'big things' that the people really care about." Chen Yunn nodded, "Are there any other problems that you can't solve by yourself?" ”

"This" Wu Fuchun was a little speechless and stopped.

"Comrade Wu Fuchun, don't worry." Peng Zhen encouraged.

"Then I will say, the main problem is that there is a miscommunication between a few departments. At the end of last year, a small number of logistical personnel and cadres in the army, without considering the consequences of damaging the machinery, carried equipment and disassembled parts rather rudely, resulting in damage to a considerable amount of equipment in the factory and the inability to continue to use it. There are also some friends of the Chimin class, after they turned over, because of their desire for revenge, they went directly to the landlords and black-hearted factory owners to liquidate, and in a short period of time caused a lot of lives (including the families of those landlords and factory owners), although we immediately stopped them and temporarily detained them, but how to try them has always been a big problem, and the demand for their acquittal is very loud in society. Wu Fuchun hesitated again and again but still spoke.

"The first one is easy to do," Chen Yunn thought for a while, and discussed with Wang Fan: "I think this is a problem of the depth of understanding of various organs of the party, government and military, and I have also heard that in a few remote areas of liberation, due to the high mountains and the emperor's distance, there is a problem of the life style and ** of local army officers occupying the original landlord's big house." In my opinion, if this is not the case, after we go back, we will issue a document in the name of the central authorities, demanding that all the party, government, and military personnel, from the top leaders to the grassroots soldiers, study and make it clear that no one has the responsibility to protect all materials and property, such as urban industry and commerce, and rural real estate after the liberation, and has no right to confiscate and dispose of them. In order to prevent the recurrence of the situation of enriching one's own pockets and 'making foreign money', it is written at the end of the document that violators will be severely punished! ”

"I think so." Wang Fan nodded.

"As for the second one" Chen Yunn himself is a little uncertain, from the bottom of his heart he thinks that those black-hearted landlords and factory owners deserve to die, but countering violence with violence is what the Xinyanhuang government resolutely wants to stop, so if the conviction is too light or acquitted, then it will have a counterproductive effect on the future propaganda of governing the country according to law.

"If you think this is good or not, you can first widely publicize this event in the form of radio and newspapers, so as to mobilize the people to hold a big debate and discussion, and see what the people want. At the same time, this incident is used to let ordinary people understand what law and morality are, and why the new Yanhuang should govern the country according to law, instead of continuing to follow the moral constraints of Yanhuang for 2,000 years, and finally use the state's 'amnesty' (similar to the presidential amnesty of the Stars and Stripes) to release or give a light sentence, and solemnly declare that the new Yanhuang Democratic Republic has been established, and there will be accomplices and similar offenders in the future, and they will be severely punished. Wang Fan suggested.

"Great idea!" After Chen Yunan listened, his eyes lit up.

At the same time, Zhanjiang Port, Guangdong Province.

In the later world, due to the existence of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, it absorbed a large amount of Guangdong Province's maritime resources and trade volume, so there were few well-known large ports in Guangdong in later generations. Zhanjiang Port, as the main channel to the sea in the southwest of Yanhuangda, the main plane of the later generations, only achieved a cargo throughput of more than 100 million tons in December 2008, becoming the 1500 million ton port in the country (it is also the only 100 million ton port in the southwest coastal port group, only from the ranking of the speed, it is really difficult to say that the development is fast).

However, in the first target plane, due to Wang Fan's intervention and large-scale construction, the status of Hong Kong here has been greatly weakened, and the hardware level of Zhanjiang Port and coastal ports in Guangdong has begun to improve linearly.

Since the south is a relatively weak area of Japanese power, there are many shipping companies and dock enterprises in the open and in the dark. According to the statistics of the Red Party after its liberation of Guangdong, in Guangdong alone, there are more than 100 wharves owned by large and small private shipping businesses and factories, but these so-called wharves are poorly equipped and can only berth small boats and sailing ships of several tens to hundreds of tons. Moreover, among these factories and enterprises, there are both domestic and foreign ones, such as Britain's Jardine Matheson, Hutchison, and Yizhong, and the Mobil Company of the Star-Spangled Banner, and so on.

Since nominally, the Stars and Stripes, the United Kingdom, and Yanhuang belonged to the allies in the fight against the Japanese fascists, so it was difficult for the southbound troops to grasp the proportions, so they asked for instructions to fight all the way to the center, and finally set the tone in Wang Fan's sentence "This is Yanhuang". In the end, all the foreign adults and foreign compradors collectively walked down the "altar" and began to study the laws and regulations of the New Yanhuang Democratic Republic and the customs regulations in the detention center.

However, when they learned something and "got out", they found that the Yanhuang government was not only not terrible, but also very abided by the rules. In the New Yanhuang Democratic Republic, the Yanhuang government will protect all private factories, companies, banks, shops, warehouses, warehouses, etc., which are legally operating, without seizing them; All water supply companies, electric lights, telephones, posts and telecommunications, railways, automobiles, universities, primary and secondary schools, folk education centers, libraries, hospitals, churches, charities and other institutions and entertainment measures, as long as they do not violate the law, regardless of their identity as bureau chiefs, managers, factory directors, clerks, technicians, workers, principals, professors, teaching staff, students, curators, bishops, pastors, etc., will be protected by the Yanhuang government; The offices of various countries, their personnel and all foreign property shall be protected by the government of Yan and Huang as long as they are lawfully obtained, abide by the laws and regulations of the Yan and Huang democratic governments, and do not act as enemy spies and conceal war criminals and any saboteurs.

In short, the term "governing the country according to law," which has never been popularized in the hot yellow land, has begun to appear frequently in just half a year through the propaganda of various media and actual events, and has been remembered by the people and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
