Chapter 1085: The Great Kanto Earthquake (1)

For both Yan Shao and Fumiko, what happened the night before was only a small episode, and it didn't affect their lives much―――――― even if Eleno and the others almost found out the truth of the matter at that time. But no matter what, they are not ordinary people, so how can they be affected by this little thing.

So the next day, Fumiko went to school as usual.

No way, after all, it's academic. Unlike later generations, many students in later generations didn't care about going to school at all, at least Yan Shao often encountered some students who skipped class in later generations. Of course, Yan Shao has not done this kind of thing, especially in one of the semesters, Yan Shao has done a feat―――――― in a full semester, Yan Shao has only taken classes for a week at most...

However, this era is different from later generations, although compared to ancient times, this is already a very modern 'modern' period, and its living conditions are already very good. But in most countries, going to school is still difficult for many children.

Especially for China, before the establishment of the Kuomintang, there was almost no need to expect so-called schooling―――――― at least for the vast majority of children, the only thing they could do was to work hard in their own homes, and then, like their parents, they would either continue to cultivate the land or work in the factories, without the slightest ability to change their own destiny.

Because if you want to change your destiny, you need knowledge.

Although there have been some times in history where I didn't know anything. But it's still enough to change the life of the sky, but after all, there are still too few such savings.

Just like in the original history, twenty years later. Although on the face of it, it was a group of 'mud legs' who overthrew another nationalist regime that appeared to be made up of elites. But in fact, he was the one who led this group of 'mud legs' at that time. And how many are ordinary people?

On the other hand, those governments composed of 'elites', not to mention how capable those elites are, the army under their hands is actually composed of a group of mud legs. However, they do not regard these mud-legged people as human beings, which naturally explains why in the original history, the 'elite' government, which was dominant no matter how you look at it, was eventually overthrown by a group of mud-legged people.

In any case, for the people of this era, the opportunity to receive education is still very cherished. This also leads to frequent truancy like in later generations, which is very difficult to happen in this era―――――― especially this kind of thing. It is very likely that the parents will be implicated later.

Because in order to promote compulsory education, the government has the right to hold parents accountable if a child is absent from school for a long time without unnecessary reasons.

It is also a measure to avoid parents who want their children to help the family and prevent them from going to school.

Because when compulsory education was just promoted, parents often tried to find ways to find loopholes in this law, so that their children kept asking for leave to go home to help with work. No matter from which point of view, it is strict to interfere with the teaching of schools and the promotion of compulsory education―――――― because many parents have come to follow suit, and when they see parents from other families doing this, they also follow suit. After a long time, the promotion of compulsory education in urban areas has been relatively smooth, but it is difficult to promote it in rural areas.

However, Yan Shao's handling was also very decisive, after receiving the relevant report. He didn't say anything more, but directly promulgated such a law―――――― which should have been considered by the National Assembly. However, Yan Shao has always looked down on the Congress, so he ignored it at all.

According to Yan Shao, it is. "Let the congressional guys discuss it. I don't know how long it will take, even if it is ideal, it will take more than a month. I don't know how much delay it will be, but it's better to order it directly from my side, and the final result will be the same anyway. ”

There is no doubt how loud the dissatisfaction with Yan Shao's arbitrariness is in the Congress, but in the face of the authority displayed by Yan Shao, few people dare to challenge it.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, the opportunity of education is still cherished by the people of this era.

Therefore, there are few students who choose to skip class because they are bored with school, but more people take leave because of family reasons―――――― of course, those parents also pay the price.

It should be noted that because students skip classes more, the relationship between parents will be implicated. So many times parents will also take the initiative to supervise the work, after all, for those parents, they are not willing to be sent to a detention center for a few days just because their children are not in school.

People are less afraid of police stations and other departments than they were in the past, but if they can, they still want to avoid going to police stations as little as possible.

After all, the fear of such institutions is definitely not something that can be eliminated in a short period of time.

Just like in the 90s, even after a long time into the new era, there are still many people who have an instinctive fear of the police station. The same is true right now, and despite all the publicity, the police are still a bit intimidating to many.

And...

Although today's police agencies are obviously much more incorruptible than later generations. But this does not mean that today's police agencies are the kind of beating and scolding, and in some ways, at least in this respect, today's police departments are even inferior to those of later generations.

Because the police stations of later generations at least took into account some political influences, even if they encountered some things, many times they would choose to calm things down. But in this day and age, there is absolutely no such thing as a problem...

In fact, this is also a helpless thing, and in the future, the political situation will be completely stable anyway. Honestly. The main work of the police in later generations, although there are also their own duties. But in many cases, it is actually a certificate and the like.

But this era is different, and there are other things that are not mentioned in daily disputes for the time being. Workers' strikes alone were far more frequent than in later China.

In addition, how strong the clan power in the countryside is must be clear to many people.

In many cases, if there is a dispute between clans, the number of people who will do it is likely to be as high as thousands. At this time, can you do it if you don't police force? If you don't be stronger, you probably won't be able to scare these people at all, especially considering that these people usually have a considerable number of firearms, and in many cases even need to send troops to suppress them.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Other than that, as once said. The clan power is still very strong.

This also leads to the fact that in many cases, what the government says is not even as effective as what the patriarchs of these clans say.

Of course, that's nothing, as long as they're not anti-government, it's basically nothing.

The point is, many times there will be things like lynchings within the clan. Putting aside the problem of those lost women who are immersed in pig cages, many times the things within these clans are outrageous.

Especially considering that everyone has their own interests, some clan chiefs or more powerful people usually use guΓ² to slander the way. To enforce some lynchings―――――― it cannot be said that he is old, he must be highly respected. Many things in later generations have shown that some old bastards are actually more annoying in many cases.

Of course, this is not intended to be a map cannon for all the old men. But there are really some old people who make people gnash their teeth.

Especially for some people who rely on the old and sell the old, or because they are old, they can do all kinds of bastard things. And because of the other person's age, you still don't dare to do anything.

This sort of thing. To be honest, Yan Shao has really experienced it.

By the way. Before Yan Shao crossed over, he also encountered an incident. It's just a young man on the bus, giving up his seat to an old man―――――― in fact, it can't be said to be young, because it looks like he's almost 40 years old?

At that time, the old man said that he was almost at the station, and there was no need, so the 'young man' planned to sit back, who would have thought that at this time, a 50-year-old suddenly took the first step to sit up. At that time, the young man was not happy, and asked him to get out of the way, because the young man was about a 30-minute drive from his destination, and since the old man did not sit, of course he sat by himself. As a result, whoever thought that the 50-plus person scolded him, and even gave the young man a punch directly.

The next thing can be imagined, and the two sides are naturally fighting.

In this process, the old man who was given up his seat got off at one of the stops, which is understandable, after all, people will try their best to avoid trouble. What's more, the old man himself said that he was about to arrive at the station, and the problem was that the 50-plus was indeed a little unreasonable, and even had to let the young one get off the car and go head-on, so the two of them hit from the car to the car, and the 50-plus one also injured a woman in the process of hitting in the car...

I can only say that I really want to drink less wine...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, there are too many such unfair things among the clan forces in the countryside. In the past, the governments of the former Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, but for Yan Shao, this kind of thing is absolutely intolerable.

Because Yan Shao does not intend to make China a country similar to India or some parts of the Middle East, because in those regions, this clan-like power is very huge. There are also clan-like forces, which are almost equivalent to semi-independent.

Even if they make their own laws, the local government turns a blind eye.

There is no doubt that this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed in Yan Shao's opinion. It's just that, as mentioned earlier, these clan forces are still relatively strong, especially with a considerable amount of weapons.

As a result, the police are only a little more savage.

Sometimes, even the police are insufficient, at least during the period of the founding of the country, there have been cases of lynching by local clans in various places.

In some cases, because they did not receive timely rescue, they eventually led to the death of the person concerned.

Some of them are because of the person's parents or other people's reports. The intervention of the local government, and even the garrison, was directed.

One of the largest. It was an incident that happened in Guangdong.

When the local clan forces lynched a couple, the police department sent officers to rescue them. As a result, it can't be saved at all. Because there are about 1,000 people organized to block it, and they also carry a large number of weapons. This kind of thing was obviously not something that the police department could handle, and considering the urgency of the situation at that time, the local government urgently contacted the local garrison.

In the end, the garrison dispatched a battalion of troops, together with more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles, to the scene, and finally rescued the people.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It took a battalion and hundreds of troops to save a couple, which is probably unimaginable in the future. But in this village, there is a fight between villages, and both sides can send thousands of people. At the same time, in the days when almost everyone carried a gun, such a thing was not very difficult to understand.

There is no way, after all, the national government has not banned guns at that time, at least not blatantly.

There is no ban on guns, let alone the seizure of guns.

And as I once said, during the period of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, guns were very widespread in China. Especially in the late twenties and early thirties of the original history, even heavy machine guns were the object of trafficking.

To be honest, this kind of thing is not even for the police to intervene. Rather, only the garrison could intervene.

This incident once caused a sensation across the country, and something of a similar magnitude had happened in the double digits at the time...

From a certain point of view, this kind of thing is almost about to become a thorn in Yan Shao's side. However, as to how to solve these things, neither Yan Shao nor anyone else had any good solutions.

But this kind of thing on the scale of thousands of people. After all, they are still a minority, and they may not really dare to shoot, after all, the police also have backers behind them.

It's hard to say. Because if the police go less, only three or two. Maybe the other party will not hold the public accountable for a single law, so they will deal with the police?

But at least on a small scale. More than a dozen policemen are enough to deter a village of more than 100 people. Of course, at this time, the attitude of the police should not be too gentle, and many times they must be fierce, which also makes the police in this era rarely talk about civilized law enforcement, and even the government has not emphasized it.

As far as the government is concerned, as long as the police do not oppress the people.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, the best way is to break the four olds in later generations, and only in this way can some dross be swept away. The problem is that this kind of thing is basically a matter of killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 yourself, and the side effects are too great, and it is even likely to bring long-term brain damage.

What's more, Yan Shao himself knows very well that even after doing this, in the rural areas of China, the power of the clan is still very strong―――――― of course, it is definitely not as strong as in the past.

Ahem, when he said this, Yan Shao remembered a very interesting thing he remembered in the past.

That is, he went to live in the countryside at his father's friend's house, played with his children, and had a good time. After all, a city child must be very unfamiliar with many things in the countryside, and others, such as fried fish, are completely new.

However, just when he was having fun, a child younger than Yan Shao came.

The child who was playing with Yan Shao hurriedly called Uncle after seeing this child, and then when the child walked in front of Yan Shao, he actually planned to talk to Yan Shao about his seniority, and even asked Yan Shao, 'Which generation are you'...

In fact, this is nothing, after all, the other party's generation is indeed very large.

And according to Yan Shao's father, if he returns to his hometown, he is actually a member of his uncle's generation of the same age, and it is even very likely that he will be superior to others, and he may advance directly to his grandfather's generation. It's just that this kind of thing that comes up and talks about seniority, after all, it's still too interesting.

Especially when Yan Shao is an adult, this kind of thing rarely happens, because even if there are some generations different, they basically call themselves themselves, and it is rare to call them so...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, Yan Shao rarely has any effective solutions for the local clan forces, and there is only one main solution at present, that is, to mix as much as possible into the local affairs that were originally only managed by the clan forces, so that they gradually lose their influence and rights in local affairs.

At the same time, we will continue to promote education so that all people can understand the situation.

It seems that only in this way can it be possible to stop the continuous expansion of local clan power...

At least in Yan Shao's opinion, it seems that there is only one way―――――― without using some radical means...

However, some things may not be as simple as Yan Shao thinks, because...

Many times, even if Yan Shao wants to use milder means, he may not have that much time, and in the end, Yan Shao will still turn back to some more radical lines... (To be continued......)
