The work of the military government is a step-by-step process.
In new jurisdictions, it is not easy to implement government decrees overnight.
There must be a process, leaving enough time for the people to adapt.
Not only the common people, but also newly appointed officials must adapt to their posts.
Dong Shuheng only raised one point at the meeting, which was to strengthen the supervision of local officials. Strictly implement the policy of serving officials in other places to prevent local officials from colluding with local wealthy families.
The current Huaihai Navy Government has basically been completed. Currently, Huaihai Navy does not have a provincial-level military government. The military governments of each government are directly responsible to the Huaihai Navy Military Government Headquarters.
On the one hand, the Huaihai Navy still lacks the kind of provincial administrative officials who can stand alone. On the other hand, the Huaihai Navy currently only has so many territories. It can be managed directly by all governments.
In some key development areas, prefectures were converted into cities. For example, in Shanghai, Huaihai Haijun established Shanghai City.
From now on, the name of the city will be a special regional title in the jurisdiction of Huaihai Haijun, and it can only be obtained after the economic development reaches a certain level.
This flat management model also benefits from the fact that Huaihai Navy now has telegraph lines connected to various places, which brings great convenience to management.
Speaking of telegraph lines, Dong Shuheng is currently planning a telegraph line to the Far East.
This line requires the laying of a submarine cable from the Jiaodong area of Shandong Peninsula to North Korea.
It happened that the Manchu Qing court ordered all regions to engage in Westernization. The governor of Shandong, Guizhong Bank, took this opportunity to make a memorial to build a telegraph line. In this way, the Shandong part of the line was solved.
North Korea has seen the Huai Navy's fleet, and they dare not disobey the Huai Navy.
Recently, the situation in North Korea has also reached Dong Shuheng's ears.
Regarding the current chaos on the Korean peninsula, Dong Shuheng is happy to see the results. North Korea is as conservative as the Qing Dynasty, which makes Huai Haijun's dumping of goods in North Korea not ideal.
Although the Huaihai Navy can move freely in Busan Port, it is limited to Busan.
The people in the interior of North Korea basically still live a self-sufficient life as small farmers, and they don't need to buy many goods.
The people who buy Huai Haijun's products are mainly North Korean dignitaries. But these people are limited after all.
Now that North Korea is at war, it is a good opportunity for the Huai Navy to make money.
Dong Shuheng has sent people to contact Lin Fengxiang and the Andong Kim family who actually controls the government of North Korea.
Lin Fengxiang, who was in Pyongyang, had been waiting for people from Huai Haijun to come.
As expected, he was waiting.
He was very polite to Huai Haijun's special envoy, and there was no hint of hostility between the two parties.
The first thing Lin Fengxiang proposed was to exchange for the family members of himself and his Taiping soldiers.
Regarding this point, Huai Haijun's special envoy did not agree directly, and the purpose was naturally to bargain.
However, Huai Haijun was quite polite to Lin Fengxiang and did not directly ask Lin Fengxiang to exchange it in cash.
After all, Lin Fengxiang is short of money, but Huai Haijun is not so short of money.
The conditions proposed by Huai Haijun's special envoy were that each officer's family member would need 100 Korean coolies in exchange, and each ordinary soldier's family member would need 10 Korean coolies in exchange.
And both men and women are required. Although the exchange rate is high, Lin Fengxiang still agreed.
Because Lin Fengxiang happened to have a large number of Korean prisoners in his hands.
Of course the Huai Navy wants these people to be placed in the Far East and the Heilongjiang River Basin.
Although Huai Haijun himself is also immigrating, the area of the Far East and the Heilongjiang River Basin is really too large.
It wouldn't be too crowded if there were tens of millions of people there, and these North Korean laborers were relatively docile, and they were as hard-working as the people of Mainland China.
It can be said that it is a relatively high-quality labor force.
By bringing these people to the Far East, some of the hard work can be handed over to them.
In this way, the Han people who immigrated can allocate more people to participate in military training.
Not only in Korea, the newly promoted Japanese servant army in the Far East also moved a large number of tenant farmers from Japan through caravans to help them cultivate the land they were assigned.
Those prisoners of Satsuma who first arrived in the Far East became professional servants and did not need to participate in agricultural production.
These Japanese people are very satisfied with their current life. Except that it is colder, everything here is better than Japan. Even the tenant farmers, their lives are better than in Japan.
Dong Shuheng also specifically asked intelligence personnel to investigate and compare the power balance between Lin Fengxiang and the Anton Jin family. Based on the intelligence, Dong Shuheng discovered that Lin Fengxiang was actually in a weak position now.
The counterattack of the Andong Jin family was a little slower, but Lin Fengxiang was an outside force after all. In this case, some local wealthy families were dissatisfied with the Kim family's dictatorship, but they would still follow suit and speak out unanimously.
Therefore, Dong Shuheng decided that it was necessary to provide Lin Fengxiang with some help.
His help was very simple, which was to sell Lin Fengxiang 5,000 flintlock guns and 100 old-fashioned artillery pieces.
Of course, Lin Fengxiang had to buy it with real gold and silver. Lin Fengxiang could still afford this small amount of money for guns. He had been fighting outside for so long and had confiscated many big names, so he still had a lot of gold and silver in his hands.
The Jin family also proposed to purchase weapons, and the people from Huai Haijun agreed, but Huai Haijun would control the delivery time.
For example, let them finish the battle and then deliver the goods to Jin.
The war meant a disaster for the peninsula, but it meant a large number of orders for the Huai Navy.
The machines in the factory can run at full capacity with confidence. Only when the factory is running can it develop. This is real productivity.
Rather than holding a large amount of gold and silver in his hands, Dong Shuheng prefers to build more factories to convert gold and silver into productivity.
Why do Americans in future generations fear China? It is obvious that they can live a good life as long as they print money.
It's not because of China's powerful manufacturing industry. Only these running machines can be transformed into real strength. Other things, the superficial prosperity are all false.
Once a war breaks out, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy anything. Unless you have an advantage from the beginning, the enemy cannot block you.
Only if you have manufacturing capabilities and resources can you transform them into a steady stream of combat power.
Dong Shuheng's wedding is scheduled for October 1st. According to the rules, the date is determined by someone else. However, as Dong Shuheng's identity, he can't just decide which day is best.
According to Dong Shuheng, this day is quite special and the key is to remember it easily.
It was impossible for Dong Shuheng to travel far away before the wedding. He could just take the time to sort out Huai Haijun's internal affairs.
He had already had a meeting with the military government before and learned about some things about the military government.
This area is just that the Huaihai Navy's jurisdiction has become larger, and there has not been much change.
Dong Shuheng pays more attention to the aspect of legal system construction.
With the improvement of Huaihai's legislation, the use of "Qing Code" has been basically abandoned.
In Dong Shuheng's view, this was a sign that the Huaihai Navy was officially separated from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The legal system is the most basic criterion that restricts people's lives. When the people under Huai Haijun's rule all accept the legal constraints of Huai Hai Hai, then they are fundamentally no longer the people of the Qing Dynasty.
Dong Shuheng planned his own ruling order before overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The current Liangjiang area is equivalent to a pilot project for him to rule the entire China in the future.
If he succeeds in the pilot project in the Liangjiang area, then when the Manchus are overthrown, he will be able to directly extend the system in Liangjiang to all parts of the country.
After Dong Shuheng established the court system in Huaihai Haijun, he began to formulate various legal regulations, from civil law, criminal law to various commercial regulations, from substantive law to procedural law.
In terms of procedures, Huaihai Haijun implements a two-instance system. Generally, cases are directly handled by the court at the county level. If you are not satisfied with the court's judgment, you can appeal to the court at the prefectural level.
Major cases are handled directly by the prefectural-level courts. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of the case, you can appeal to the Huaihai Haijun High Court.
In addition, compared with the Qing Dynasty's laws, Huaihai Haijun's criminal law greatly reduced the number of crimes involving the death penalty and basically abolished corporal punishment. Only major violent crimes such as homicide, kidnapping, robbery, rape, poisoning, fire prevention, intentional injury, etc. were subject to the death penalty.
All the original corporal punishments were replaced by Dong Shuheng's imprisonment and exile.
According to Dong Shuheng's plan, there will be many remote territories in China in the future. The environment in some places is so bad that even if they immigrate, no one is willing to go there, so they can only exile the criminals.
In terms of criminal procedure law, Huaihai Haijun does not have its own specialized public prosecution agency. Generally, the police station files a public prosecution directly with the court, but the Supervisory Yuan will supervise the process of the case, not only the police station, but also the court.
Cases involving disciplinary violations by public officials are investigated and handled by the Control Yuan, which also conducts public prosecutions.
The Supervisory Yuan of Huaihai Haijun only supervises the internal personnel of Huaihai Haijun's government, courts, police, military and other agencies, and does not target ordinary people.
In terms of civil law, Dong Shuheng and others did not copy the Napoleonic Code, but incorporated some Chinese folk customs into it.
For example, in terms of weddings and funerals, the national customs of the Chinese people are fully respected.
Therefore, the Civil Code enacted by Huai Haijun has the biggest changes in the marriage and family section. For example, Chinese people like to get engaged before getting married. Huai Hai Hai's Civil Code stipulates the legal validity of engagement.
Some changes have also been made to the protection of private property. The power of the government and the rights of owners have been clarified in terms of land expropriation and expropriation.
To prevent people from abusing their private property rights in the future in national construction, causing trouble and unnecessary waste to national construction.
Through the recent review, Dong Shuheng led the military government's legal department and people from the court to sort out all the laws.
The Huaihai Navy does not have a special legislative body, and writing to the institutions will not come until the founding of the People's Republic of China and the national structure is finalized.
The current laws and regulations issued by Huaihai Navy are all effective upon Dong Shuheng's signature. The efficiency is indeed very high, but Dong Shuheng has to treat it with caution.
Dong Shuheng found that what Huaihai Navy currently lacks most is commercial law and intellectual property law.
Now the European powers have begun to establish intellectual property rights systems to protect their advanced technologies. However, Huaihai Navy has not yet.
Huai Haijun had many epoch-making technologies, and Dong Shuheng simply did not dare to apply for a patent in Europe. Applying for a patent meant disclosing the relevant technical parameters of the product to the other party's patent department.
Dong Shuheng does not trust these Europeans. Their patent laws only protect the patents of their own countries. Registering some core patents by yourself is probably a slap in the face.
Therefore, Dong Shuheng is planning to establish his own intellectual property system. Some technologies that cannot be exported can be protected domestically using his own patent laws.
Using this period of time, Dong Shuheng recently drafted the "Copyright Law", "Patent Law", and "Trademark Law" with the people below.
Because the interests of businessmen were involved, Dong Shuheng also specially convened several hearings. This may be the only place where Huai Haijun showed democracy when he was legislating.
If Dong Shuheng and others legislate like this, it will definitely appear hasty in future generations. Now, it is just a pilot project anyway, so if there are any problems, they can be corrected in time.
