Since the war was still not over and the country was still very poor and weak, Hu Weidong had to devote more energy to industrial and agricultural construction and monetary taxation that would produce faster results, but since the central government had taken the Central Plains Liberated Area as a pilot for the whole country, Hu Weidong naturally did not neglect the construction of laws, education, and welfare systems too much.

Hu Weidong has been very strange back then, it is clear that China has been a humane society for thousands of years, paying attention to "legal principles are nothing more than human feelings", even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there is often a saying that "not killing is not enough to anger the people", this is certainly true, but strictly speaking, it is also more love than law, but China has been practicing since ancient times is a less flexible written law, and New China is no exception, but even if there is a written law there, public opinion must still be taken care of, and as a result, the majesty of the law will inevitably be shaken. However, if the provisions of the law are really put above the general public opinion according to the opinions of certain legal "brick families", it will be tantamount to suppressing the public opinion with a dead law, which will not only run counter to China's tradition for thousands of years, but will also cause the party and government to lose the support of the people, which is undoubtedly even more undesirable.

In addition, after all, the Red Party had never managed such a large country before, and the laws and regulations formulated in the early days inevitably had many problems, and the revision of the written law was firstly cumbersome, and secondly, the statutory law had higher requirements for authority, and the most taboo was to change it frequently. This is undoubtedly another contradiction,

As for the reason for this situation, Hu Weidong believes that it may be because China has adopted a system of written law since ancient times, and there is no developed civilization around it to communicate, so it did not know that there were other legal systems to choose from at first, and as a result, when Western case law came. The tradition of statutory law is so deeply ingrained that it is difficult for the legal system to make major changes unless there is a radical change in society. However, after the liberation, the conditions for change were in place, but because the "big brother" Soviet Union adopted a written legal system, it followed suit, and as a result, this good opportunity was missed

Therefore, now that he has this right, Hu Weidong naturally wants to try the case law system in the Central Plains Liberated Areas, and due to the limited legal talent under his command, he has temporarily selected only 10 counties as the first phase of the pilot project, and these 10 counties include rich and poor, small and large, mountainous and plain, and even counties inhabited by ethnic minorities and mixed ethnic groups. Shiyan down for a year. Most of the issues are reflected, and those judgments that can be applied to all counties are considered to be of general significance and serve as the basis for the development of formal legal provisions.

In addition, there are some basic social norms that are generally accepted by the Chinese, such as the "Three Chapters of the Law" of the ancient Han Gaozu. It is a natural legal text in itself. Therefore, it did not take long for the formal legal provisions of the Central Plains Liberated Area to be relatively complete. Hu Weidong, who had greatly increased his confidence, soon tried again in Luoyang and other large and medium-sized cities, and the results made him even more satisfied.

Although the leaders of the central government are somewhat unaccustomed to the Western legal system, the results of the practice are good. They also acquiesced in Hu Weidong's further promotion in the liberated areas of the Central Plains. However, if it is really to be promoted on a larger scale, the serious shortage of professionals has become a difficult problem to solve, so Hu Weidong later came up with a compromise solution, he stipulated that under normal circumstances, only the judgment of the court at or above the county level has the opportunity to be formulated as a case into a formal bill, while the lower courts can generally only make judgments according to the existing law, and if the judge at the grassroots level determines that there is a problem with the law, he can request that the case be referred to the higher bill for a new trial.

In addition, Taizu also demanded that half of the people's assessors must be the most basic workers, peasants and soldiers, and that no less than one-third of the party members should be members, so that the law would not be manipulated by the bureaucrats, capitalists, and intellectuals who speak for them. Hu Weidong also agreed with this, but he was also a little worried about the habit of the grassroots masses to follow the crowd and the shortcomings of subordination in many cases, so he specifically stipulated that people's assessors must be advanced elements (such as model workers, combat heroes, and so on). and must be randomly selected on the spot within at least three times the number of candidates before the trial to prevent black-box operations

It has to be said that the case law system is indeed much easier for legislators than the statutory law system, and Hu Weidong has more energy to devote to the formulation of welfare and education systems. Among them, the welfare system is still very poor and weak in China, and most of them can only apply the set of poor methods founded by Taizu back then, but it must be admitted that under the premise that the requirements are not too high, these methods are really easy to use, but for practitioners in related industries, this means lower income and harder work. Taking the medical and health system as an example, Taizu reprimanded the Ministry of Health, saying, "At present, the work of the Ministry of Health only gives work to 15 percent of the population in the liberated areas, and these 15 percent are mainly for the master." Even the method of training doctors is for the city. The vast number of peasants do not have access to medical care, there is no medical treatment, and there is no medicine, and the Ministry of Health is not the Ministry of Health of the people. After that, the rural cooperative medical system was implemented, countless doctors and nurses went down to the countryside to provide services for the vast number of farmers, and trained a large number of "barefoot doctors" with primary medical and health knowledge, although they are limited to the level of inevitably some misdiagnosis, but without them, it is impossible to make the average life expectancy of China's population soar from more than 30 years to more than 50 years in just a few years, but not every doctor is as dedicated as Shi Jinmo. Therefore, this system did not last long even in this time and space, but fortunately, China's national strength was far stronger than that of the same period in history, so the situation was still much better than in history

Because the Central Plains Liberated Areas have laid a certain industrial foundation over the years, and the literate population has also increased substantially, they have been able to take the lead in implementing the five-year compulsory education of primary schools in the major liberated areas, and the urban population can enjoy eight-year compulsory education, including junior high school (after the end of World War II, except for a few poor and remote areas with inconvenient transportation, the urban and rural areas of the country have basically realized the eight-year compulsory education. These are unprecedented in China's history.

More importantly, Hu Weidong has also made some innovative attempts at China's education system, some of which are emergency measures for immediate needs, such as actively encouraging self-learning, developing adult education and vocational training, and making many subversive changes to the basic education system (to be continued).
