I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 573

Japan's national power is weak and its capital is limited, so it really can't afford a loss-making business. Konoe has always felt that he is walking on thin ice.

Ka Ya also let out an "ah", and then said: "Your Excellency, regarding your question, I can only say that there is a surplus, but not much, and the fiscal deficit has improved, but it cannot be said to have been fundamentally improved!"

"Minister Kaya, why do you say that? You are a 'financial master'!" Konoe's heart sank, "The empire's national power has been on the uphill in the past few years. Although we returned Manchuria, Taiwan and other places It was given to China, but it got a larger northern state (eastern North Asia and central North Asia) and southern states (Indonesia, the Philippines, etc.). Gain a lot of wealth through war?"

He Ya smiled wryly, "It is true that we have gained a lot of wealth, but most of it has flowed to China!"

"Why?"

"Resources!" He Wu's face became a little unwilling, "This is a noose that the Chinese have stuck around our necks, and we have to hand over a lot of wealth to them.

Your Excellency, the northern state is rich in resources, but it will take a long time to develop and invest a huge amount of money to turn it into a treasure house of wealth for the empire. Not only that, the technical personnel of the empire have confirmed that the northern state is rich in iron ore , coal, natural gas, and timber, but there is very little oil and it is very difficult to mine. In addition, even for those iron ore, coal, natural gas, and timber, their mining projects will take three to five years to take shape. Right now, the northern states The benefits brought to the empire are not much more than the capital invested by the empire; let’s talk about the southern states. The resources of the Philippines are mainly copper and nickel mines, with little coal and oil, and Indonesia is very rich in coal, natural gas, and tin mines. , As for oil, there is a lot, but for the consumption of the empire at this time, the supply is still in short supply, and the oil fields, oil wells, oil production areas, oil production equipment, and oil refining equipment in Indonesia were all destroyed by the Dutch before the imperial army occupied Indonesia. The serious damage of the locals, it took us a long time to repair it, and in fact it has not been fully repaired until now, resulting in a large discount on the oil provided by Indonesia to the empire!" He looked at the guards, "Comprehensive and In other words, among several major strategic resources, coal, the empire has basically achieved self-sufficiency, steel, the empire needs to import to a certain extent, oil, most of which need to be imported, and rubber, most of which need to be imported.

So, from whom did the Empire import these resources?The east side of the empire is the United States, which used to sell resources to us, but now it is naturally cut off. As for the west, north, and south sides of the empire, it is completely surrounded by China and its many dependent countries. Our only choice is China.

Your Excellency, Prime Minister, let me tell you some statistics!Since the war between the empire and the United States, more than 90% of the empire's foreign trade has been conducted with China, and less than 10% has been conducted with countries such as Germany and Italy; among the important resources urgently needed by the empire itself and the imperial army, coal accounts for 93% It is self-produced, 7% is imported from China; steel, 76% is self-produced by the empire, 24% is imported from China; rubber, 11% is self-produced by the empire, 89% is imported from China; as for Petroleum, 8% is produced by the empire itself, 92% is imported from China; there are more than a dozen other important resources, we are also extremely dependent on China, such as bristle, 95% is imported from China, tungsten sand, 100% is imported from China 88% of the tung oil imported from China is imported from China!"

Konoe was stunned, and after a long while, he showed a bitter expression: "How could this be? The empire is now also vast and rich in resources. How can it rely on China so much for resources?"

He Ya shook his head: "The empire is indeed vast and rich in resources, but it takes time and cost to develop resources. If we are given ten years, after ten years, the empire will definitely be able to be self-sufficient in resources to a large extent, but, It's a time of war and we don't have that much time.

In addition to immediate consumption, the empire and the imperial army also need to store a large amount of resources for later use, such as oil. The empire has now reserved about 1000 million tons (for comparison, in the original history, Japan’s oil reserves in 1941 were 700 million In 1943, it dropped to more than 300 million tons), but China can now produce 500 million tons of oil a month, and the empire can only produce less than 50 tons a month.

The output of those large oil fields in China is increasing substantially, and China has also obtained several large oil fields in the former Soviet Union, and now it has divided up the oil-rich Middle East with the Germans. Its oil production is beyond the reach of the empire .

In fact, we suspect that China's monthly oil production is actually far more than 500 million tons, and it is very likely that it has reached 1000 million tons, and the annual oil production has exceeded the 1 million tons mark. In order to be able to 'reasonably' increase the price when selling oil to us, deliberately say small actual oil production!"

Konoe was silent for a while, and then said with difficulty: "So, we have to spend huge sums of money to buy important resources such as oil from the Chinese?"

Ka Ya nodded: "Yes, so, the imperial army gained wealth through bloody battles, and two out of three were stolen by the Chinese quietly.

We also want to buy important resources such as oil from the Germans, but the Germans either refuse on the grounds that 'Germany itself is not enough', or charge a higher price than the Chinese, so that we can only buy from the Chinese.

On the other hand, in terms of oil, the Chinese are not willing to sell us anything as long as we give us money. They are very cunning and deliberately limit the export volume to Japan. Even if we give more money, they will only sell to us. Let us neither starve to death nor eat enough. As for the reasons, they are very sufficient, 'China itself is not enough', 'China needs to carry out domestic construction and development, and the supply of oil is in short supply' 'China will also sell to Germany, Italy and other countries 'Friendly country' wait, it's what money can't buy us anyway!"

Konoe sighed for a long time: "The Chinese use resources to constrain us on the one hand, and earn our wealth away continuously on the other hand, right?"

Ka Ya did not speak, expressing his acquiescence.

Germany, Japan and the United States and Britain are fighting each other to the death, and while China is aiding Germany and Japan, it is taking the opportunity to make a lot of war money and make a lot of money. With money, it will naturally be easier to do things.

Beginning in the autumn of last year (1941), Jiang Weiguo restarted the "New Life Movement" initiated by Song Meiling but ended without a problem, using Chiang Ching-kuo's Three Youth League as the main force, and created a "moral police" (civilized propaganda team, civilized picket team) , with the momentum of grasping iron marks and stepping stones to leave marks, we will clean up the unhealthy atmosphere in the society at this time in China, and improve the civilized quality and moral level of all citizens. The scale and intensity are comparable to the "strike hard" in [-].

For half a year, not only did not show signs of "disappearing with a gust of wind", but it became more and more violent.

At first, the coverage of the movement showed a "dot-like distribution", each point was a city, starting from dozens of medium and large cities across the country, and then expanding to more small and medium-sized cities and a larger number of market towns. Starting from the towns and cities, the "radial expansion from point to area" is carried out to the wider rural areas around the towns. , has increased to more than 200 million people at this time, and China's current total population is about 5 million, so the ratio of the two is as high as 1:250, which is higher than the ratio of police to civilians.

The biggest reason for the sudden increase to so many people is: Jiang Weiguo has more and more money in his hands.

A simple calculation: 200 million people work in this industry full-time (certainly not part-time, temporary workers cannot be used in this industry, people who work in this industry must devote all their time to this work), and each person has at least ten yuan a month. Salary in fiat currency (remuneration is definitely not one-size-fits-all because of different levels of personnel, ten yuan in fiat currency is the most basic salary for grassroots personnel), the total of 200 million people a month is 2000 million yuan in fiat currency, converted into US dollars is 600 million, plus other aspects For the expenses, Jiang Weiguo has to spend almost 1000 million US dollars a month to maintain such a large team and such a huge movement. Undoubtedly, this is a very large expense, but Jiang Weiguo can afford it now, because he has abundant funds, so he Only then can we carry out this moral purge according to our own ideas.

From the most prosperous big city in the east to the poorest small village in the west, millions of civilized propaganda team members and civilized pickets are almost pervasive, carrying out the mission entrusted to them by Jiang Weiguo everywhere, with propaganda books in their left hands , holding a whip in his right hand, wearing a uniform uniform, and wearing the same black-faced Baogong mask on his face, supervising every citizen in their sight to "speak civility, be moral, and establish a new style."

In fact, not only well-organized team members did this, but also a larger number of people participated in it. Jiang Weiguo admired the practice of "mobilizing the masses" that later generations of New China used to do, and he vigorously promoted it, and the effect was amazing. Good, on the one hand, the people’s ideological awareness has been raised again, on the other hand, it has also allowed the people to achieve “mutual supervision and common progress” (it has the meaning of “mobilizing the masses to fight against the masses”, for example, Zhang San was spitting everywhere because of Li Si’s report. And after being whipped, Zhang San will definitely stare at Li Si in the future, and once Li Si violates public morals, he will report him immediately), although this kind of "mobilizing the masses" is a bit dangerous, but under Jiang Weiguo's macro-control, at least in Nothing will go wrong until social morality is thoroughly consolidated.

Whether it is a law or a regulation, after the government promulgates it, it must be fair and just, that is, "the prince who breaks the law is as guilty as the common people", so that the people can be convinced.

Before the reform, in order to convince the people of the state of Qin, Shang Yang specially planned "to gain trust by standing a tree". During the reform period, the prince of Qin State violated the law. The prince's teacher who was also the prince's uncle was tortured on his behalf, and his nose was cut off. From then on, everyone in Qin State respected the new law extremely, and no one dared to violate it, and no one doubted it anymore.

After Jiang Weiguo's "crackdown on civilization" was launched, there were naturally countless people who violated the regulations. Because of Jiang Weiguo's support, the pickets naturally did not miss any of them when they fought, and there must be many dignitaries among them. Or the second generation of "hard-to-beat people", the biggest "big fish" is none other than Kong Lingwei, the second Miss Kong who is known as "the first witch in the Republic of China" and is frightening.

Kong Lingwei's status is definitely needless to say, her father is Kong Xiangxi, and her mother is Song Meiling's elder sister Song Ailing, and she is deeply favored by Song Meiling. In addition, she is also related to Jiang Weiguo (although the two have no direct blood relationship), Jiang Weiguo is Her second cousin, she is Jiang Weiguo's cousin.

On the third day after the "Civilization Crackdown" was launched, Kong Lingwei ran into Jiang Weiguo's muzzle. She was racing in the urban area of ​​Wuhan, speeding and running red lights, and almost hit pedestrians. The traffic police on the scene did not dare to provoke her. No one dared to stop him, but the pickets at the scene didn't care about that. Some members rode motorcycles, chased Kong Lingwei who had already driven away, and then stopped him.

Kong Lingwei was surprised at first that someone "had the courage of a leopard" to stop her car. After the pickets asked her to get out of the car immediately for investigation, she became furious and cursed: "Get out of here! Do you know that I am who?"

The picket leader replied: "Yes, Minister Kong's second daughter.

We are acting according to the second son's order, please cooperate!"

Kong Lingwei was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she laughed wantonly: "Jiang Weiguo? You bastards, do you know who Jiang Weiguo is? He is my second cousin! When I tell him this, you guys Just wait and see!"

The picket leader sneered and said, "Second Young Master has repeatedly emphasized that anyone who violates the order must be treated equally.

Miss Kong Er, please get out of the car, and please don't force us to use violence! "

Kong Lingwei was furious and drew his gun directly. She didn't want to scare off the pickets outside the car, but wanted to shoot the pickets. She was really moved to kill, because she was a person who regarded other people's lives like ants. .

Just as Kong Lingwei had just drawn out his gun, the picket leader drew his gun first, and put the muzzle of the gun on Kong Lingwei's head.

The picket leader was originally a veteran of the Nanjing Army. Because a leg was disabled in the war, he could walk without problems, but he had trouble running. So he was discharged from the army and transferred to the civilized picket team. Kong Lingwei's gun drawing speed was naturally not as good as him.

"You dare to point a gun at me?" Kong Lingwei was terrified and frightened at the same time. This was the first time in her life that someone pointed a gun at her. The death threat so close at hand made her reveal her fierce nature. She didn't dare to move the hand holding the gun, and cursed fiercely in her mouth, "I tell you, you are doomed! The heavenly king and I can't save you!"

The picket leader snatched Kong Lingwei's pistol with a contemptuous expression on his face, then opened the car door and pulled it out.

This incident immediately became an explosive news. The "Civilization Strike" launched by Jiang Weiguo has attracted close attention from all walks of life across the country since its inception. There are those who cooperate, and those who resist, and those who praise, and those who criticize. It has caused earthquakes in the fields of literature and art, ideology, and media. Acura, and those who shouted that they couldn't do it also refuted it with eloquence and lengthy words. Some people even brought their complaints to Chiang Kai-shek and asked tearfully that "the chairman should take good care of Jiang Weiguo", "don't let Jiang Weiguo be so nonsense" and "how can Jiang Weiguo do this?" How to destroy the legal system, how to suppress human nature, how to run counter to modern civilization, how serious and far-reaching the harm is, etc., because of Jiang Weiguo's move, all walks of life are in a "smoky atmosphere, chickens are flying like dogs", and opinions are divided. Many famous teachers in the field of literary and artistic thought who insisted on their own opinions then started a war of words in newspapers, public places, and privately. I speak eloquently, you are fighting against the Confucian scholars, and I am drunk and sober. It can be called "a hundred schools of thought contend, and a hundred flowers bloom". Some people feel that "since Mr. Lu Xun passed away, it has been a long time since the world of literature, art and thought has been so lively."

Objectively speaking, Jiang Weiguo's move is indeed extremely controversial. Some people say that he "will only be counterproductive to encourage the growth of seedlings." With the attention of the whole country, some media who "see the excitement and don't think it's too big" took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar, and carried out various eye-catching reports and even fanned the flames in the reports.

Regarding this, Jiang Weiguo had a clear attitude. After Kong Lingwei was arrested by the picket team, he rushed to the scene immediately. Song Meiling, Song Ailing, Kong Xiangxi and others also rushed to find him to "plead for mercy". Jiang Weiguo announced calmly:

"Ling Wei, the nature of your speeding, running a red light, arrest by force, and even attempted murder is very bad. You have only three choices now. One is to be whipped, the other is to be detained and then jailed, and the third is to pay a fine and pay bail. Choose one! Originally, there is a fourth punishment option, which is to become a temporary assistant to the propaganda team or the picket team, but your behavior is serious and you are not eligible to choose this option.

In addition, let me remind you again, if you commit another crime, there is no third option, and you will go to jail after being whipped!"

Kong Lingwei couldn't believe his ears: "Second cousin, are you confused? I'm your cousin!"

Song Meiling said: "Weiguo, you should stop in moderation! If you do this kind of thing for outsiders to see, forget about the meaning, why are you so dead-headed? Are you comparing yourself with your family? Are you going to beat your cousin with a whip or Let your cousin go to jail? If you ask her to pay the money, isn’t it the same as asking your uncle and aunt to pay? You are a junior, and you are fined by the elders.

Song Ailing said: "Weiguo, Ling Wei is your cousin! It's fine that you, the second cousin, don't feel sorry for your cousin. How can you treat your cousin like this? Isn't this embarrassing your own family and letting outsiders see jokes? Aunt rarely invites you, This time, even if Auntie invites you, okay?"

Kong Xiangxi said: "Weiguo, in front of outsiders, I want to call you Second Young Master, but in front of my own family, I will call you by your first name.

This matter, I admit, is Ling Wei's fault. My uncle apologized to you on her behalf. I assure you, after this incident, I will discipline her and restrain her, and never let her mess around again, okay? ? "

Jiang Weiguo said in an orderly manner: "Ling Wei, I know you are my cousin, but you have violated my laws, which are like mountains, do you understand? You make your own mistakes, and you bear it yourself, and I am powerless to help.

Mother, do you know why the 'New Life Movement' you used to engage in started off with vigor and vigor, but ended in anticlimactic conditions?One of the reasons is that your heart is too soft, and your ears are soft at night, you can't be a bowl of water, and it is difficult to convince the public. Now, you must learn the previous lessons with me. Only in this way can this sport really achieve results .

Auntie, of course I feel sorry for my cousin, but love does not mean pampering, spoiling a child is like killing a child, it is because of your pampering that she is used to being domineering and domineering, and I am definitely not punishing her, quite the opposite , I am saving her.

Uncle, forget it!How many times have you disciplined her and restrained her, has it worked?Since you can't do it, let me do it!You can't discipline her, you can't restrain her, I'll discipline her, I'll restrain her, okay, that's it!"

Because Jiang Weiguo insisted on his position and principles, Kong Lingwei was finally punished. Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing naturally chose the third option, paying a fine and bail, and paying a full 10 yuan in French currency.

Jiang Weiguo then publicly commended the pickets who arrested Kong Lingwei to the propaganda team and the picket team, and asked everyone to learn from them. In addition, in order to protect the pickets, Jiang Weiguo used the fines paid by the Kong family to give them a home. Fei, arranged for them and their families to go to a certain place in western North Asia and changed their identities, places of origin, hometown addresses and other information to prevent them from being retaliated by Kong Lingwei (Kong Lingwei would not dare to attack Jiang Weiguo’s people in front of Jiang Weiguo. , but her small tricks behind the scenes made Jiang Wei's national defense hard to defend, such as buying gunmen to shoot black shots at those pickets, so the best way to protect them is to arrange for their family to go far away).

Immediately, all the propaganda team members and picket members were relieved. They knew that Jiang Weiguo kept his word. No matter who they "offended", Jiang Weiguo was their solid backing. If anything happened, Jiang Weiguo would Use a lot of money to settle their whole family properly, so that they don't have any worries.

After this incident, all the propaganda team members and pickets devoted themselves to this "civilization strike" with firmer belief and fuller spirit.

This incident has had a good effect on all walks of life similar to "standing upright to win trust". There are still many people who oppose "strike hard with civilization", but the number of people who doubt "strike hard with civilization" has greatly decreased. Everyone believes it. Jiang Weiguo just said Jiuding, to be honest, according to his regulations, spitting is subject to whipping, so people who spit everywhere, whether they are ordinary people or royal relatives, will be whipped (or pay high fines or be detained for a long time) .

Most of the members of the "Civilization Propaganda Team" and "Civilization Picket Team" created by Jiang Weiguo are members of Chiang Ching-kuo's Three Youth League. With the full support of the ten brothers, Sun Zhiping and Sun Zhiqiang, the fifth and seventh brothers, Sun Ke (the father of Sun Zhiping and Sun Zhiqiang), the president of the Legislative Yuan, was also persuaded by them. Penalty" is introduced into the current law.

According to the new relevant legal provisions, "perpetrators of subjective malice or criminal acts with serious nature or bad influence will be punished with whipping." To put it bluntly, take "theft" as an example, the situation is :

Prisoners who commit the crime of theft due to hunger, cold, lack of money to see a doctor, etc. will only go to jail and will not be whipped (because such thieves are "passive crimes");

Prisoners who commit the crime of theft due to leisure, hard work, pleasure, etc., will not only be imprisoned, but also be whipped (because this kind of thief is an "active crime");

Prisoners who commit the crime of stealing "life-saving money" carried by patients or patients' family members in the hospital will not only be imprisoned, but also be whipped (because the behavior of such thieves is bad in nature).

Jiang Weiguo, like the vast majority of people in later generations, detests those crimes that seriously violate the law, trample on the bottom line of human conscience and civilization, and are inferior to animals, such as killing for fun, killing minors, raping minor girls or even rape young girls, and the methods are extremely cruel. Murders, murders with despicable and vicious motives, serial murders with psychopathic twists, etc., and so on, so he spared no effort to introduce the whipping punishment of Singapore in later generations into China at this time, so that criminals who are not as good as beasts will be shot or imprisoned. The former will be beaten to a bloody mess with the whip, to the point of death, life would be worse than death.

Only in this way can the law truly play its fundamental role: to punish evil and promote good.

The progress of the law will naturally promote the improvement of the moral level of all citizens.

After the Sino-Japanese War ended, the mainland of China was no longer ravaged by war. Especially now, China can be said to be at peace, but there are still gunshots in various parts of China. It is not a civil war, but the suppression of bandits launched by Jiang Weiguo.

Banditry in China at this time is very rampant, there are bandits, robbers, and bandits everywhere, and they are blooming everywhere. In the original history, after the founding of New China, more than 150 million troops were dispatched successively. They fought for three years and wiped out 260 million people. More than ten thousand bandits, no doubt, this is an astonishing number (of course, a large part of them are remnants of the Kuomintang army), so many bandits seriously affect social stability, disrupt social order, hinder labor production, and threaten people's lives and property Safety.

Carrying out nationwide bandit suppression can firstly eliminate banditry, and secondly, it can train troops and kill two birds with one stone. Most of the people participating in bandit suppression are militias of the reserve army. They are the supplementary force of the regular army. Participating in bandit suppression can let them see blood Nature is advantageous.

After receiving Chiang Kai-shek's approval, Jiang Weiguo launched this nationwide bandit suppression campaign. In order to strengthen the will of the officers and soldiers participating in the war, he specially summoned the middle and high-level officers of the participating troops to give lectures.

Jiang Weiguo said:

"In many places there are rumors of so-called 'righteous bandits' and 'grand thieves', which greatly beautify the image of those bandits and robbers. Here, I want to solemnly warn you, correct your mentality! Distinguish right from wrong! Black is Black, white is white! Thieves are thieves! People who rob houses, kill people and sell goods, what kind of "righteousness" can they talk about? What kind of "chivalry" can they talk about? Some people say that there are many bandits because they can't live If you go down, you have to rise up and gather in the mountains and forests. Yes, I admit this. Therefore, before you suppress the bandits, you must first issue an ultimatum to restrict the bandits from surrendering. The bandits who surrender must be investigated and screened. , lenient treatment, and those who committed the most heinous crimes will not be tolerated and severely punished! In the past, our country was in turmoil, internal and external troubles, and many people really couldn't survive, so they had to fall into the grass and become bandits. But now, the country is peaceful. Those who are thieves, if Being thieves is for survival, so now, they should take the initiative to become good. If they have not taken the initiative to become good and continue to be thieves, there are only two reasons. One is that they are born thieves, and the other is that thieves have become addicted Yes! The first type of bandits, they see the chaos in the world, and feel that it’s time to fish in troubled waters, so they take advantage of the opportunity to become bandits and robbers, and become kings of the mountain. If they really want to, they should take the initiative to settle down and live a good life, but what do they do? What did he do? The most typical one is Liu Guitang (Liu Heiqi). This giant thief who roamed in the seven provinces of North China was recruited by the government several times, but every time he was recruited, he turned his back on his promise and became a thief again. What is the reason? Because he He is a born thief, and he will never change his nature and heart. In his own words, "When I was poor, I couldn't even get a rough rural girl when I was looking for a daughter-in-law. After becoming a thief , no matter if it's a daughter of a thousand gold or a girl with a yellow flower, is there any kind of woman? Before, they didn't even look at me, but now, they want to kneel on the ground and beg me, follow me, serve me like a bitch, so happy I don’t even want to exchange the emperor for a day like a fairy’. This is also the inner thought of the second kind of bandit, because being a thief is as happy as a fairy, so I don’t want to be an honest and responsible commoner.

You are an ordinary person, plowing the land and farming, and working hard for a year, you can only earn a hundred yuan, but I only need to put a gun on your head and a knife on your neck, and your hard work in a year will be earned within 1 minute It's mine, I got your year's hard income in 1 minute, how fast!what a joy!Farming is so hard, but being a thief is so refreshing, so, if you can be a thief, why do you want to be a good person?Therefore, these two kinds of bandits are incurable!They all deserve death!Moreover, most of the bandits are cunning liars. They boast that they are "doing justice for the sky, robbing the rich and helping the poor", "only robbing the rich, not the poor", and anyone with a brain knows what they are talking about. They did, helping the poor, did they really do it?As for "only robbing the rich, not the poor", it is even more nonsense. The poor are so poor, what can they rob?The rich have money, and they must rob the rich!I command you now not to sympathize with those bandits who deserve death and are beyond redemption!Destroy them all with a heart of stone and a thunderbolt!Give the common people a peaceful world where they can live and work in peace and contentment! "

"Yes!" The officers who listened to Jiang Weiguo's lecture were full of anger and enthusiasm.

In just half a year, all the banditry in China was wiped out. The reasons are very simple. One is that the country is peaceful, the people are stable, and the situation is no longer turbulent. The breeding soil and living environment for bandits no longer exist. The government can fully mobilize the army to suppress the bandits, and will no longer be subject to foreign enemies or warlords; second, the bandits are essentially mobs who are vicious and inward-looking. In fact, almost all the bandits attacked by the army collapsed and collapsed at the touch of a button.

In addition to cleaning up the civilized atmosphere, suppressing bandits, and preparing to start anti-corruption, Jiang Weiguo was busy with major issues during this period of truce, such as promoting industrialization, improving the social welfare system, improving people's living standards, and helping the poor. He worked hard, and everything cost him money like running water.

Chapter 663 Truce Period (10)

The following dialogue, or one similar to it, has frequently occurred in local governments in China in recent years:

"County magistrate, the appropriation from the Provincial Finance Bureau has been approved, and it will be delivered in two days!"

"Oh, that's great! Thank God! It's finally approved! How much? Is it 50?"

"A whole million!"

"500 million? Why so much? The province has never given us so much funding! This is unprecedented! When did the province become so generous? And when did it become so rich?"

"I heard that part of this appropriation was given by the central government, part by the province, and part by the Second Young Master. As for how to use it, specific indicators were directly given from above.

There are more than 30 people in our county. According to the population base of our county, our county is required to build five primary schools with a total capacity of 500 students, three middle schools with a total capacity of 2000 students, Four hospitals that can meet the needs of the entire county, two nursing homes that can accommodate a total of [-] people, and three children's welfare homes that can accommodate a total of [-] people (orphanages for orphans and parents who have been deprived of child custody Nursery for children with guardianship rights), after the establishment of the above institutions, personnel, equipment, operating funds, etc. will be provided by the province, and later maintenance will be handed over to the county. At the same time, the second son will send people to conduct surprise inspections and unannounced visits , once it is discovered that you are cutting corners, shoddy, perfunctory, overpaid, compromising public welfare, poor service, etc., all those involved in the case will be severely punished, especially the county magistrate, you will be the first to go to jail. He will also be whipped in front of the people of the whole county!"

"What? Why should I go to jail and be whipped?"

"It's said in the document that if something happened in the county, if the county magistrate knew about it, he would turn a blind eye when he knew about it. This is a typical dereliction of duty, passive and lazy administration. If he didn't know about it, it can be divided into two situations. One is that he really didn't know about it. , that is a dead body, stupid and incompetent, and second, knowing but pretending not to know, that is deceiving and deceiving, so no matter what the situation is, you, the county magistrate, are [-]% to blame and will be punished!"

"My God! So strict? Do it, hurry up, hurry up and start working! I want to supervise myself!"

"By the way, the county magistrate, the second son also allocated an additional 50 yuan to our county, asking us to build three buildings that can accommodate 1 people in total..."

"What?"

"prison!"

"Pr...prison? Or a prison that can hold 1 people?"

"Yes!"

There are two sets of interesting data in later generations: the population of China is about 13.67 billion, and the population of the United States is about 3.23 million; the total number of prisoners in Chinese prisons is about 200 million (second in the world), and the total number of prisoners in American prisons is about 230 million (first in the world).

The data is clear at a glance. The population of China far exceeds that of the United States, but the number of people in prison in China is less than that of the United States. Not only that, the population bases of the two countries are different. If the number of people in prison is divided by the total population, China is about 0.15%, and the number of people in prison in the United States is about 0.7%. [-]%, one and a half out of [-] Chinese are imprisoned, and [-] out of [-] Americans are in jail. The gap is so large. It seems that the law and order in the United States is much worse than that in China, and the Americans are also worse than the Chinese.” I love crime more."

But is that really the case?One of the most important reasons why the "imprisonment rate" of Americans is much higher than that of China is that the laws of the United States are more stringent.

The Chinese must admit their own shortcomings in order to learn from others and make continuous progress. One of the shortcomings is that China's laws are not perfect, and China's law enforcement officers are not strict enough. The countermeasures of making trivial matters, such as picking quarrels, campus bullying, touching porcelain, domestic violence, slander, malicious hype, extortion, fraud, begging, stealing and other seemingly "insignificant crimes", mostly adopt innocuous criticism Measures such as education or detention for a few days, and a fine of several hundred yuan, but in fact, these "small crimes" will be imprisoned in the United States, so that more Americans are imprisoned, Chinese are less imprisoned, and the proportion of Americans imprisoned Large and small proportion of Chinese people are imprisoned.

There are few people in Chinese prisons because too many people who are good enough to go to prison in the United States are living freely outside the prison.

The law first needs to be fair, the second needs to be comprehensive, and the third needs to be strict. Although the law cannot be absolutely fair, absolutely comprehensive, and absolutely strict, the law can infinitely approach absolute justice, absolute comprehensiveness, and absolute strictness through human efforts. .

Jiang Weiguo spent huge sums of money to build a number of prisons throughout the country that are only a lot more than schools and hospitals, in order to have enough places to detain prisoners, because according to his "strike hard order", countless people will be jailed Dang goes to jail.
