Chapter 99: The Crossroads of Take-off (2)
Yes, Les Miserables, although the 18th century also entered the modern era, but that kind of law is so heavy that everyone can't help but gasp, although they know that these laws are invalid for themselves, but what about their townspeople?
Maybe the townsfolk will feel that they are already very benevolent, after all, the system of this society is even worse. But is that kind of law really good? Everyone seems to see the skinny townspeople working every day, and hunger and poverty blow down their moral bottom line and the bottom line of human dignity.
So he asked the two lawyers, why don't the laws of various countries apply to this world of cultivation?
The two lawyers smiled and looked at each other, and one said, "Because the cost of their crime is too low, and the social cost we need to pay is too high, so it is inappropriate." ”
Wang Meng also looked confused, what kind of consciousness is this? He feels that if he commits a crime, he will arrest someone, what's the big deal. Why is this still inappropriate?
"First of all, let's put it this way, let's say a person steals a piece of bread, what is the law of the average country on earth now?
Although some aborigines here are even more confused, shouldn't stealing a bread be chopped up? How can you warn it? The warning is useless, he won't return it next time to steal, how simple it is to chop his hands directly.
"But if you think about it, is it applicable here? Stealing a loaf of bread, we first send the police to catch the thief, right? The police arrest is a cost, and then record, register, criticize and educate, and provide food, right? Finally, it will be put into the file. What is the social cost of this?"
Wang Meng seems to understand a little... Oh, yes... How many people it takes, how much social cost does it take.
"What if he continues to steal the next day? After he is caught, the punishment will be doubled, right? Well, this is the second cost, we will provide him with a place to live, right? Then, at least he must get a fair trial from the court, right? The court cost is also a big part, right? After that, because the mistake is too small, if he goes to prison, it will be a short time, and we will also provide him with food and housing, medical care and other social costs. If he feels good like this, he eats and drinks in prison and continues to steal when he comes out. Our social costs ... And the thief pays the cost of stealing too low, and our social cost is too high. Therefore, the current law is not feasible in this cultivation realm. ”
Now everyone understands, sure enough, being too humane is inhumane to oneself. If it is really according to the laws of the current earth, the social cost is too high, and the quality of the people in this society is too low, it is impossible to restrain their behavior, let alone deter them, so even if the constitution is made, it is a blank sheet of paper, and it is not feasible at all.
It's not that it's completely impossible, but the social cost of taking action is too high for them to afford. In that way, the efficiency of the whole society will be pulled too low, and all the courts will face endless lawsuits, because the cost of crime is too low.
"And now that almost all the people in the town are illiterate, and there are countless caravans and residents who have fled here every day, may I ask you, how can we restrain them according to the laws we have made? If we do the same thing on the earth, the island country, or Singapore, and impose fines or talk with whips, I don't think it is advisable to do so, because the townspeople are innocent with so many caravans, and they do not understand the law, and it is unfair for you to impose such a demand on them. And that kind of law can only be promoted in relatively developed countries. In fact, you can consider that we should first formulate some basic laws according to the laws of the earth, and then gradually improve them. ”
Everyone felt that it made sense, and it was a good idea to set some basic laws first and slowly improve them later, but where to start, everyone was confused, looking at the two lawyers.
"This basic law, we can also be divided into several parts, one part is for the town's constitution, to all the townspeople to maintain eternal loyalty to the town, so that they have a sense of pride, should be written with the idea of fairness, freedom, fraternity to write this part of the constitution. ”
At this time, another lawyer thought for a while and said, "In the second part, I think that laws should be enacted on social issues such as economy, education, marriage, etc., to restrain the basic life morality of the townspeople, and to give them some restraint and guidance, so that they can understand mutual respect, social responsibility, morality, etc. ”
Wang Meng felt that what they said was very good, and said everything he wanted to say but didn't know how to say, and added: "We should also establish a supervisory body to supervise whether these laws are well enforced, then establish a metropolitan procuratorate to supervise judges and ordinary police, and we should also establish a police station as soon as possible. ”
Everyone thought it was very good, and they spent the next whole day studying some detailed issues of the Constitution and the Civil Law. In fact, he hated these things the most, but as the Führer, he couldn't just run away halfway, right?
At the next day's agricultural talks, Wang Meng felt that everyone's imagination was not ordinarily rich, because the town lacked a large number of cultivated cattle to expand the grain fields, and these people actually thought of inviting the demon beasts to come out and let them help cultivate the land, because these demon beasts are infinitely powerful, but they lack food all year round, and can only look for wild fruits and other food in the deep mountains to satisfy their hunger, which is destined to have huge common interests in both aspects. In this way, the town will work with these demon beasts to stratify the food plan, and finalize it among a group of crazy people with big brains.
The new agricultural land plan is planned, and it is also quickly worked out, and the relationship between the contract signed with the monster, now the town can safely use the wasteland several times more, so much wasteland, but such a small population, simply can not be reclaimed, according to the traverser Minister of Agriculture Zhao Daning introduced, now the statistics of the wasteland area, almost equal to the area of a province in the north of the earth, as well as endless barren mountains and almost endless practical forest resources, in terms of soil quality, and the earth, are also the best black soil, organic matter content is extremely high, very practical value for development。
Now there is an urgent need for manpower to carry out large-scale development and reclamation, but the population development of the town is still too slow, and too many people are greedy for the town's wage system, and the enthusiasm for farming is not high, and they prefer to stay in the prosperous town to work rather than to open up the wasteland.
Because it is too hard to open up wasteland, and it is also inconvenient to buy some means of production and daily necessities after leaving the bustling town, Zhao Daning suggested that we can learn from Huaguo's original contract responsibility system for joint production, and contract the land to the peasants, who can develop it freely, as long as they sell the income to the town, which will greatly increase the enthusiasm of the new immigrants for farming.
Everyone felt that this made sense, and the proposal was quickly approved. Next is the town's economic development plan, now the momentum of economic development is very good, but the problem is also the most existential, a huge problem is chaos, there is no planning chaos.
