New Beginnings (2)

There are some things that are often not realized when they happen, but there are always people who can feel them unexpectedly. After Chen Ke temporarily appointed the judicial work in the base area to the three giants of public security, procuratorate, and law, Dai Enze adhered to the basic principle of "listening to the party." Xu Dian's mind was full of the fact that he would become the first law maker in the base area, and he didn't care about anything else. Only Lin Shenhe's position is objective, and he has neither a simple heart of loyalty nor a strong sense of mission to make contributions. Therefore, Lin Shenhe was quite curious about the political direction of "dismantling the small peasant economy" raised by Chen Ke.

As a character trained in the Concession Patrol, Lin Shenhe understands very well that the best solution when he doesn't understand is to ask someone who knows how to do it. And in the base, it is recognized that He Zudao is the person who understands Chen Ke's thoughts best. So Lin Shenhe went to visit He Zudao with gifts.

The gift was very simple, Lin Shenhe took a cowhide belt. This year, cowhide belts are still very rare. When Lin Shenhe escaped from Shanghai, he brought more than a dozen sticks, and this was the first time he took them out to communicate his feelings. After seeing the belt, He Zudao refused the gift, which made Lin Shenhe a little surprised. However, Lin Shenhe observed that Chen Ke himself was not dressed differently from other soldiers, and He Zudao was able to enter Chen Ke's eyes, and it was not too shocking to refuse gifts.

There is no need for people to pay attention to meaningless face, Lin Shenhe has always thought so. Gift-giving is to satisfy other people's face, and it would be too silly if the giver himself is also a face-saving person. So Lin Shenhe didn't feel ashamed at all, and he frankly mentioned the purpose of his coming. What exactly does it mean to "destroy the smallholder economy"?

"The downside of the smallholder economy is that it rarely joins trade. After destroying the small-scale peasant economy, the people had to devote themselves to the system of selling their labor power in order to maximize the development of productive forces. He Zudao made his own explanation.

"Commissar He, let me think about it." Lin Shenhe was confused by these words, but he didn't understand. This sentence puts forward a completely new line of thought, which cannot be fully understood by Lin Shenhe's political philosophy. But the business of foreigners gave Lin Shenhe a lot of tips. Could it be that Chen Ke meant to deprive the people of everything first, and then give them a job opportunity?

But in this case, there is no need for Chen Ke to divide land among the people, especially for women. This is going to cause a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Shenhe continued to ask: "Political Commissar He, I want to ask, some people say that the people are mobilized to fight the people, what does this mean?" ”

"That's a joke." He Zudao said with a smile, "The original intention is that if you want to solve some problems of the people, you can't just rely on the top to forcibly promote some policies, and you need to let the people choose their own positions." A policy is destined to support the interests of some people and harm the interests of others. If you force it, you will make the people feel that the BJP has gone too far. Therefore, it is necessary to find the key to the contradiction to be resolved, and guide the people who are oppressed by the old system to fight for their own interests. At this time, this part of the people must unconditionally support the People's Party that formulated this policy. We will be able to count on the support of the people in this matter. ”

As soon as he said this, Lin Shenhe suddenly realized. No wonder Chen Ke wants to give women equal rights to divide land. There was also a marriage law, and in those years it was only the BJP that openly claimed to protect women's interests. When a woman is treated unfairly, there are bound to be people who swallow it. But those women who are unwilling to swallow their anger can only turn to the People's Party as a backer. Contradictions based on economic interests have always been the most profound, and they will never end until one side completely gives in. The BJP's adoption of the division of land and the Marriage Law will carry out a real blow and disintegration of the clans. Chen Ke's determination doesn't seem to be ordinary.

"But what if the people are unhappy with us because of this?" Although he knew that the situation was stronger than people, Lin Shenhe felt that it was better to be careful, in case Chen Ke wanted to learn from Cao Cao to "borrow people's heads", then he was likely to become a victim.

He Zudao didn't know Lin Shenhe's profound self-preservation mentality, he smiled: "This kind of dissatisfaction is definitely going to happen." But this kind of thing can be used as the beginning of a change of customs. Women must be emancipated. This land is divided by us, and this matter must be made clear at the beginning. If you want to take your daughter's land for yourself, our People's Party will definitely not support it. And how much does this man have to use to covet his daughter's land? ”

Seeing that He Zudao said so firmly, Lin Shenhe also felt embarrassed to pour cold water, he could only laugh in his heart that He Zudao was naΓ―ve, in fact, the person who wanted to deprive his daughter of land may not be the father.

There are some things that have come to an end, and Lin Shenhe can't really let He Zudao give him advice, so when it comes to this, he gets up and leaves. Walking slowly, Lin Shenhe's mind began to work on what to do. Xu Dian will definitely not let go of the work of writing laws, and Lin Shenhe will definitely not be able to do this kind of errand. Political work is also outside its purview. It seems that he is completely useless in this matter?

Thinking of this, Lin Shenhe didn't feel relaxed. If you can't let someone tell you to do something, then you will never be appreciated by the higher-ups. In today's conversation with He Zudao, in Lin Shenhe's view, He Zudao can become "the comrade who understands Chen Ke best" because He Zudao can understand the core concepts of Chen Ke's policy. What exactly does Chen Ke want to achieve through this policy?

Now Lin Shenhe seems to have nothing to do, but in fact, he really has nothing to do now, what he wants to do now is not to fight for anything, but to learn from the other two old comrades. On the one hand, he studied the thoughts of his comrades within the police system, and on the other hand, he waited for his own opportunity.

The draft of the Marriage Law, which Xu Dian had stayed up for two all-nighters, was changed beyond recognition by Chen Ke, and then sent back to Xu Dian to ask him to revise it again. Chen Ke's original words are very simple, "The basis of the Marriage Law is first and foremost equality between men and women, and since it is equality, you should neither lean towards the interests of men nor women." And don't emphasize the leading role of the government in marriage. The law, the law, the law. The jurisprudence in these three elements, that is, the theoretical basis of legislation, does not need to be directly stated. Interpreting the law is the work of the people*. Not your work in the judiciary. ”

In this regard, Xu Dian's face was very ugly. This law student has simply regarded this law as the golden rule he created and directed. After Chen Ke's explanation and careful reading of Chen Ke's revision instructions, Xu Dian really understood one thing, what Chen Ke meant by "talking about politics" before.

The revised manuscript contains improvements that should have excited Xu Dian, a law believer. The legal basis of marriage, the responsibilities and obligations of marriage, and the method of terminating marriage. Special regulations for special marriages, such as military marriages. Chen Ke had no legal training and could not write those impeccable articles, but Chen Ke, as a revolutionary, described the matter of marriage from beginning to end. And it's a politically oriented approach.

This marriage law emphasizes nothing more than two things, equality between men and women, and the protection of legal marriages by the state. Although such a law is not unreasonable, Xu Dian doesn't feel right. In his view, the law is meant to serve the ruling class. and not a means to provoke a political struggle. If so, where is the dignity of the law?

The second revision can be said to be quite successful, and Chen Ke's guidance is not unreasonable. Even if Xu Dian has any opinions, he can't deny this fact. After Chen Ke said he agreed, and that he would discuss the draft law at the party meeting that evening. Xu Dian said with some hesitation, "Chairman Chen, I hope that the base area can be advanced in political movement, and then the relevant laws will be formulated." ”

"Why?" Chen Ke didn't quite understand Xu Dian's thoughts.

Xu Dian firmly answered Chen Ke's question, "The law is the criterion, not a tool of struggle. If we treat the implementation of the law as a political work, the law becomes a political document. This is not at all the original meaning of the law. ”

"Comrade Xu Dian, the law is for the ruling class. The law is inherently part of politics, and your kind of law that transcends politics simply won't work. The system of political determination, the system needs laws to delineate the criteria. At the end of the day, laws are all about politics. ”

"So what if politics wants to interfere with the law?" Xu Dian still hadn't figured it out.

"Here's an example." Chen Ke didn't quite understand what Xu Dian insisted on.

"If someone commits a crime, then who will judge that person?" Xu Dian asked.

"The courts."

"What if the party asks for this person to be spared?" Xu Dian continued to ask.

Looking at Xu Dian's expectant look, Chen Ke was suddenly a little moved. If a person has his own firm beliefs and spares no effort to promote the practice of this faith, many times it will give people a kind of touch. Chen Ke felt as if he had returned to the days when he was talking about the forums in the past, when everyone called Buddhist CEOs like Shi Yongxin "Buddha thieves" and ascetics who adhered to Buddhist traditions "cultists".

Politics must lead everything and manipulate everything. This is Chen Ke's philosophy. But he could not say that the law must give way to politics. If someone violates the "Criminal Law", "Civil Law", "Marriage Law" and other non-political laws, no matter who it is, Chen Ke can guarantee that the party will never let such people go. However, Chen Ke must not say that the law has transcended the control of politics and has become an independent pole.

Xu Dian, a simple young man, still can't understand it, or Xu Dian firmly believes that the law is an absolute existence. And it must be absolute. Let's not talk about whether Xu Dian will become the kind of person who relies on the judiciary to influence politics in the future. But Chen Ke will never allow any system to take precedence over politics. Politics itself is what should be absolute, the foundation of all social systems. The law may be compromised, but politics is definitely not.

After thinking about it, Chen Ke finally spoke, "Comrade Xu Dian, I want to ask you, are you first a member of the People's Party, or are you first a legal worker?" ”

"This ......," Xu Dian couldn't answer for a while. In other words, he himself could not understand what Chen Ke wanted to say.

"The program of the people's revolution is that there are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be prosecuted. However, this is the legal concept of the people's revolution. It is not the law that requires the people's revolution to do so. ”

Xu Dian was almost enraged by Chen Ke's words, although in the face of Chen Ke, an almost supreme existence in the base area, Xu Dian still could not be persuaded by this idea. "Chairman Chen, this is not right. The law is the criterion, the moral program, and the moral bottom line. The law cannot be subservient to other influences. ”

"Then Comrade Xu Dian, I must also tell you the fact that politics existed before the advent of law. It was politics that needed law, and that's why law was created. It is not the law that creates politics. Your misconceptions are like eggs that are naturally qualified to make irresponsible remarks about the hen that lays them. This idea of yours is wrong and you must correct it. ”

What Xu Dian said again, no one heard. Everyone knows that the result is this," Comrade Xu Dian temporarily suspended judicial work. ”
