Chapter 393: Troubled Times
Chen Ran introduced the text of the "Regulations on the Administration of Public Security in Settlements".
The people around him had already opened the file and looked at it a little.
As a result, after just looking at it for a while, Chen Shuyuan couldn't help but say with some surprise: "This ...... This rule seems to be a bit strict! ”
He went on to give an example: "Look here, if people in the settlements litter, confetti and fruit peels, they will be sentenced to three days in prison and labor reform at a time. Anyone who litters a bag of garbage is sentenced to one week's imprisonment and re-education through labour. In the most serious case, those who litter for a long time will be sentenced to 1 to 10 months of labor reform. During this period, only basic rations were allocated. Isn't it a little heavier? ”
"There is also this article, those who pick quarrels and provoke troubles in the settlement, wantonly harass and beat others, will be sentenced to 1 year of labor reform! If a person is slightly injured, he will be sentenced to 3 years of re-education through labor. ”
At this time, Chen Shuyuan couldn't help but compare this rule with the past law and said: "This was only a few days of detention in the past. ”
"And if you cause serious injury, you will be sentenced to 10 years of slavery!"
Chen Shuyuan continued: "Although it is true that serious injuries should be punished heavily, we now have a spirit bag, and if we are seriously injured, it is actually only a moment to recover after receiving treatment. Isn't it an exaggeration that the person who stirs up trouble should be punished to be a slave? And slaves, isn't there such a thing as a slave that only existed in ancient times? ”
Chen Ran shrugged his shoulders and said to Chen Shuyuan: "Dad, there's no way! Now we have entered the end times, a time that is even more dangerous than the troubled times of any previous generation. ”
He continued: "Our enemies are too strong, and they could destroy us at any moment!" So we have to focus our energies on ensuring that the settlements and more survivors survive. There is no way to spare too much energy to slowly mediate those small conflicts in society. That would be a waste of too much of our strength. ”
Therefore, at such a time, we can only use heavy punishment and punishment, which can play a role in deterring crime. Let everyone not dare to do bad things easily, and dare not easily make trouble and add chaos to society! Otherwise, we will be overwhelmed by the small things in the convoy and the settlement, and we will be distracted by too much energy and strength. The high crime rate in the ghetto will also seriously affect everyone's life! ”
He went on to say, "What's more, after the appearance of the spirit capsule, we humans have the opportunity to strengthen and improve our strength. However, this opportunity is uneven, and may even lead to a huge disparity in power between people in the future. If the punishment in the settlement is not severe enough, the punishment is not severe enough, and it is not enough to deter everyone, then the strong will bully the weak at will, and the harm will be even greater! ”
At this time, Wei Chen couldn't help but say, "Yes, Uncle Chen, I also think it's better to have stricter rules and regulations now." ”
He went on to say: "Punishment is for those who do evil. If only everyone could live well and not sin. Even if the law stipulates that those who pick quarrels and provoke troubles and cause trouble will be directly sentenced to death. The law is just a fluttering piece of paper for us. ”
"Hmm!" Chen Shuyuan couldn't help but nod at this time, thinking that what Wei Chen said made sense, but at the same time he also said: "However, before these rules and regulations are implemented, we must also introduce them to you in detail." Let everyone know the strictness of our rules and regulations. ”
Chen Ran nodded and said, "Yes." ”
He continued: "And let everyone know that our rules and regulations are strict, but it's actually simple. Just let everyone know that we even litter are punished very severely. Fights and brawls are punishable by heavy sentences. Naturally, you will know that our laws are strict. ”
Later, Chen Ran continued to explain about slavery.
He went on to say, "And as for slavery. It should be noted that the death penalty is very rare in our rules and regulations. Only a very small number of very serious crimes are punishable by death. Others, even if they are serious crimes such as fighting and killing, they will only be sentenced to life slavery and forced labor! ”
Chen Ran also continued: "Now that the population of our human race is too small, those who have committed serious crimes, if they are directly sentenced to death, it will be too cheap for them. It is better to use waste and make them slaves, and under supervision, force them to work, and also produce more materials for our settlements. ”
But at this time, Chen Ran couldn't help but say again: "But our current slavery system will also be different from the slavery system in the past. That is, we will guarantee the basic right of slaves to survive. ”
He continued: "In the course of ordinary labor, if a slave is lazy or does not do a good job, the manager can beat and scold him at will. But slaves cannot be killed. At the same time, we must also feed them, and if they are sick, they must be sent to the doctor. In addition, if they have children, they will not be slaved for generations, but will be raised by official welfare institutions! ”
Liu Jinlong couldn't help but nod at this time and said, "It's so good, it's not as bad as the family!" ”
Then, Chen Ran talked about some restrictions on slaves.
In the previous life, slavery in some settlements was actually only for the poor.
Because of their slaves, they are free to buy and sell.
In this way, the rich man who has committed a crime and is condemned to slavery, and their family members can also buy them back.
is still living the free life of the past.
This kind of punishment has instead become a tool for the rich to escape responsibility and punishment.
It doesn't have a deterrent effect at all.
But Chen Ran is different, the slavery system he formulated has strict restrictions on the sale and purchase of slaves.
He then said: "In addition, slaves are not free to buy and sell in our country. It's all run by the government. Nor can the crime be mitigated by ransom, except for the meritorious service, in which case the slave's length of service cannot be shortened. ”
At this time, the careful Jiang Wenxi couldn't help but ask: "Is there any difference between slavery and forced labor reform?" Aren't they all forced labor? ”
Chen Ran smiled and said, "That's a good question. ”
He then replied: "The difference between slavery and reform-through labor is that. During the period of labor reform, those who are compulsorily required to work will actually be paid. However, this kind of remuneration is generally relatively low, and they will not be paid again until the end of the labor reform. In this way, after they go out to live in the outside society, they will not have no place to live. And the slaves, who were forced to work, were not paid anything! ”
