"What?" The Queen Mother said casually, "Do they still dare to violate the laws of our Great Qing Kingdom?" ”

"Naturally, I don't dare. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "The so-called consular jurisdiction, of course, is gone, the concession is still there, but the countries are just real tenants, but everyone likes to live together, this is a common thing, but there is nothing to say, after all, it is good to pay rent, not to mention that these foreigners are not empty-handed, factories, commercial houses, restaurants or carriage shops, etc., consumption everywhere, etc., these are all able to stimulate the economy, although the mosquito is small, it is still meat, isn't it? What's more, this so-called consular jurisdiction, when the Second Opium War was signed at the end of the signing, Britain and France were fighting for the Chinese's long-term and very large military orders, and there was no time to estimate these things, and after the expiration of the ten-year period, they wanted this consular jurisdiction to renew the treaty, sorry, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not give it at all.

Fortunately, she still remembered some legal terms, Prime Minister Yamen moved out the principle of territoriality and the principle of personality in the code of Westerners, and the foreigners should not be allowed to judge the case by themselves, and after several twists and turns of arguments, it was finally decided: "All disputes between China and foreign countries and disputes between citizens of various countries that occur on the land of the Qing Dynasty shall be under the jurisdiction of China, and all disputes between citizens in any country can be settled by returning to China on their own, but criminal cases such as homicide, theft, and rape are not within the scope of this proviso." ”

The political circles of the West are wailing, and the shameless Chinese Queen Mother has extended her claws to the law, she is so proficient in the laws of various countries, forcing no country to grab these political interests in China through intimidation and deception, although it is only a consular jurisdiction, but he shows that Westerners can do anything unscrupulously in China, but now, it can't. The British ambassador repeatedly protested, and the British Foreign Office in London also sent a note to the British Foreign Office, which could not change the sentence of the smuggler to be executed.

"Naturally, I don't dare," Li Juju said, "Before the imperial court specially promulgated the "Trade Friendship Regulations" to restrain the behavior of foreigners, this is a lot less right and wrong, and anyone who violates this regulation will naturally be punished." ”

Although it contains many preferential conditions for trade, it is more than telling foreigners how many rights they have, but listing many crimes, which is really in line with the traditional concept of heavy punishment that has always been in line with the Chinese's traditional concept of heavy punishment, "tax evasion, smuggling, drug trafficking (this is specifically for the opium trade), false bills, fraud, counterfeit and shoddy goods, improper lending, and private banking" And so on, there are probably many new crimes, each crime carefully lists the circumstances and punishment standards of various crimes, the number of crimes, the detailed description, it is simply outrageous, the legal circles of various countries are surprising at this time, many crimes have not yet appeared in Western society, how can the Chinese in the East be so quick to carefully and reasonably use the criminal law to stipulate the inappropriate behavior in many economic activities? It's a miracle that countries are coming to learn again.

Among the regulations, the most troublesome for foreigners is nothing more than the imminent implementation of the "crime of private banking", which is explained in the text of this crime: "Any foreign consortium that conducts banking business such as lending, savings, and foreign exchange in China shall not establish a bank without the approval of the Daqing Bank, and if there is any violation, all the assets of the bank shall be confiscated, and the principal offender shall be fined from 10,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan, and exiled to Heilongjiang." If the following serious consequences are caused, a penalty of not less than 100,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan shall be imposed, and exile shall be imposed in Jinzhou, and if the consequences are extremely serious, the death penalty shall be imposed and personal property shall be confiscated. At the end of this article, there is a proviso, "Banks that have been opened before are prohibited from reopening if they do not comply with the rectification regulations of the Daqing Bank." ”

As soon as this article came out, it was simply wailing all over the world, and foreigners were mourning all over the country, how could there be such a law! In China, if a matter has not yet been issued as a will, then the big guy can act as long as he tacitly acts, but if the center has made up its mind and issued a will, then there is absolutely no change.

Hu Xueyan finally gained his greatest prestige, unified all the financial industries in China, and caught the money bank ticket number and pawn shop in the hands of the Daqing Bank, which is the real God of Wealth, Hu Xueyan finally avenged the past in Shanghai because of the run on the foreigners' bank, causing himself to almost go bankrupt and destitute. Domestic businessmen didn't think this was a good thing, but when a small ticket number almost closed down because of a run, the household department took action, sat on the ticket number, and easily coped with the run tide, which made this policy a lot less questionable. Of course, this crime of setting up a private bank has just been launched, and it remains to be seen what the external effect will be.

"But where is Shandong now, but some foreigners have some conflicts with the common people by building churches or repairing electric wires, which is not harmful, it is nothing more than a language barrier, the big guy said it, but Shandong people have a strong temperament, and they come in groups to interfere together, and the foreigners are also arrogant, and there are some conflicts here, which are often difficult to clean up."

"In addition, many foreign priests, in these places in Shandong to preach, sometimes not all of them are compassionate, although the courtiers have not confirmed, but I heard that many priests in the local reputation is not very good, used to preach in the city, the big guys are polite, but in the countryside, others will not talk to you so well, plus these priests also have some of their own believers, wearing foreign clothes, speaking foreign words, both sides are not pleasing to the eye, over the years, but there have been a lot of troubles, Fortunately, everything was handled properly and there was no trouble. ”

"It's good that there is no trouble," the Queen Mother nodded, "foreigners come to us, one is to ask for money, and the other is to come, we probably can't understand, it's for mission, this religious obsession, we Chinese don't have it, they are very popular with this, we Chinese, if we want to believe, or believe in ourselves, we feel that we are much stronger than their God, of course, this is also our private talk Oh, I still have a patron on me." ”
