With such a big burden thrown at him, Shang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Who asked him to be fine, but he insisted on freedom of speech? Isn't he looking for trouble?
However, Shang Yi certainly knows that relaxing speech and free speech is definitely a major trend in historical development. In most countries in another time and space, freedom of the press, freedom of speech and freedom of publication, and these three freedoms are The natural human rights enjoyed by citizens. Moreover, similar language was also proposed in the [Bill of Rights] promulgated in the British Revolution that just occurred, and the [Declaration of the Rights of Man] promulgated by the French Revolution in the following decades. Of course, is it possible? It's one thing to be able to do it completely, but at least it's been put forward in the form of a bill.
In fact, in Chinese history, except for the period under the control of the Qing court, most of the time, speech was not strictly controlled. It was common for people to discuss politics, discuss court affairs, and even accuse the emperor. Under normal circumstances, the court will not be too effective. But this does not mean that the court will really let it go. Once it wants to convict someone, its previous remarks can be dug out and used as evidence. In fact, literary inquisition It existed in all dynasties, but the Qing court was the most active and the most widespread.
Therefore, it is indeed necessary to formally protect the three freedoms of press freedom, freedom of speech and freedom of publication in the form of law.
Although before Shang Yi came to this time and space, China did not have a special [Press Law] or [Publishing Law], but in the legal system, the legal norms related to news and publishing activities are also very rich. Some people have specially collected and compiled them. A "Compendium of China's Press Law". This book is in Shang Yi's computer and can basically be used as a reference.
Speaking of which, Shang Yi's laptop came to this era with him for eight years. Most of the other electronic devices are broken, but this computer has never had any serious problems. It has to be said, It's a miracle.
However, Shang Yi also knows that many parts of this computer have almost reached their normal service life. Among other things, the solar battery that provides power to the computer. At this time, after the battery is fully charged, it can be used continuously. It took more than twelve hours, and now I can't even last two hours. Although Shang Yi transcribed some useful information, it was impossible to transcribe all the "Encyclopedia" stored in the computer. There is a lot of information that can only be looked up at random.
After reading the "Outline of China's Press Law", Shang Yi couldn't help but feel a little sad, because for Shang Yi, this most useful thing could be completely extinguished at any time. Through this computer, Shang Yi occasionally Being able to see the scene of the 21st century in another time and space, and his relatives and comrades in that time and space, Shang Yi only had the consciousness that he was a time traveler. Once the computer breaks down, not only will he lose his It is a huge treasure house of information, and it has basically no connection with another time and space.
After sighing for a while, Shang Yi started working again. Writing a [Press Law] cannot be completed in a short time. The most important thing is that there is no [Constitution] yet, so other laws and regulations are not available. To formulate it, we can only come up with a rough "News and Publication System Management Standards" like the meeting system standards. So Shang Yi worked hard for several nights and finally listed a few lines of standards:
1. Within the area controlled by the Nanjing government, everyone has the three major freedoms of press freedom, freedom of speech and freedom of publication.
2. Press and publication must maintain national security, unity, normal social order, and protect state secrets. They must not publish inciting remarks, spread rumors, promote violence, or violate existing laws and regulations.
3. Important government news published by the press, works related to government officials, flood conditions, epidemics, earthquakes, etc. must be information and materials released uniformly by relevant government departments. Private speculation and unruly content must not be published.
4. News and publications must ensure truthfulness, fairness, and notarization, and must not infringe on the personal reputation of others, nor insult, slander, or abuse others.
5. News and publication content must be approved by the author, and may not be published, published, modified, or quoted from other people's works without permission, and the author shall not be owed editing fees.
6. If the press and publication violates the above-mentioned articles, they will be sentenced, closed down, fined, ordered to publicly apologize and other penalties based on the seriousness of the case.
After listing these regulations, Shang Yi felt quite satisfied and believed that they were sufficient at the current stage. After the new dynasty was established, special [press and publication regulations] would be formulated based on the principles of the [Constitution]. In addition, Shang Yi
Yi also thought that a [Constitution] would be impossible without ten or eight years of work.
To formulate a pledge, should we first make something like a "temporary agreement" or a "bill of power" and use it first? Both sets of documents are already in the computer. While they are still available, copy them down as soon as possible.
Be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. But now it is better to get the [News and Publication System Management Standards] in place first.
Then Shang Yi first showed the drafted specifications to Ye Yaoyao and asked her to give her opinions.
Of course, Ye Yaoqi also knew about allowing private companies to run newspapers, so after reading it, he smiled and said: "These six regulations are well listed, and they include various situations, so that newspapers can be regulated
, effective management of publishing, from a literal point of view, each article makes sense, but it may not be easy to implement it. For example, in the second article, "it is forbidden to make inciting remarks, spread rumors, and promote
Violence, what is the standard for these?"
Shang Yi nodded. Ye Yaoyao really hit the nail on the head. The standards for implementation are indeed a huge problem. Although he said that what he drafted was just a standard, since there is a decision on punishment in Article 6, it has actually been
It has legal effect, but it does not
Judicial explanations show that this is indeed a big loophole. For example, during the Qing Dynasty, the sentence "Qingfeng is illiterate, why are you flipping through books randomly?" can be understood as slander and ridicule of the court. What else can you do?
If you admit your misfortune, you will be shot while lying down.
Of course, refining the norms and even making judicial interpretations can be accomplished with just a little time. However, no matter how detailed the norms are and how clear the explanations are, it is of no use. There are still big problems in implementation.
Manipulation space, I can only say that the content contained in Chinese characters is too rich. Therefore, many normal remarks can be
Applying it to a violation will not only fail to protect freedom of speech, press, and publication, but will also trigger a legal prison. Shang Yi thought about it and found that there was no good solution for the moment. Of course, his own judgment can be used as a standard, but
You can’t just show yourself every book to read first, and then publish and distribute it after you nod your head and say “yes.”
At this time, Ye Yaoqi smiled again and said: "Actually, there is still a way."
Shang Yi said: "Oh? What can I do?"
Ye Yaoyao said: "Set up a special review department to review news and publications, what is considered acceptable and what is considered a violation. At the beginning, it was a violation, and the punishment was lighter. As time goes by, everyone will also
Now that everyone knows the scale and standards, they can be formally implemented."
Shang Yi nodded. This kind of review department also existed in another time and space, but it is difficult to find candidates because it requires a thorough understanding of its own standards and knowing what works and what does not. In fact, according to Shang Yi's real standards, it is
It's quite loose. In the language of this era, it's almost nothing. However, Shang Yi also knows that the relaxation of restrictions is step by step. It cannot be opened up all at once to the same level as later generations. Appropriate restrictions are absolutely necessary, especially if they are relaxed.
Now, it is still a period of war, and we cannot let it go all at once.
At this moment, Shang Yi suddenly smiled and said: "That's right, I think you should be in charge of this department!"
Ye Yaoyao was startled for a moment and said, "Am I in charge?"
Shang Yi smiled and said, "Yes, I can rest assured only if you are in charge."
Because Shang Yi also thought very clearly that in this era, only Ye Yaoyao could understand his own thoughts best, so her standards were the closest to his own. Moreover, Ye Yaoyao had always presided over government affairs on his behalf in the past. Her
Ability and attitude have been improved
With the approval of the Nanjing government officials, it is of course appropriate for her to be in charge of the review department. Now Shang Yi's focus is on handling government affairs, and Ye Yao's work has become much easier, and she has enough time to do her homework.
do any work in this area.
In this way, on the second day, Shang Yi and Ye Yaoqi gathered the cabinet ministers together and first showed them the [Press and Publication System Management Standards] they had drafted.
After everyone read it, they all thought that this standard was quite complete, and the level was not under the management of the conference system. If private private newspapers were managed according to the [News and Publication System Management Standards], the same effect as the Senate could be achieved, so there is no need to be afraid.
Someone used the newspaper to talk nonsense. However, with the previous foundation, several cabinet ministers did not look too surprised, but they all showed an expression of "this time they did not disappoint us." Therefore, everyone agreed that this [
Press and Publication System Management Standards] are completely implementable.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Shang Yi first asked the cabinet to refine and explain the [Press and Publication System Management Standards], and at the same time announced the establishment of an audit department, with Ye Yaoquan as the responsible person.
Several cabinet ministers have no objection to this point. They have recognized Ye Yaoyao's ability, and they also understand that the implementation of regulations must have a standard, and this standard is of course set by Shang Yi, so it is
Ye Yaoyu is indeed the most suitable candidate to take charge. In addition, this is not an important position, and it does not violate the principle of the harem not interfering in government affairs.
I accidentally banned myself in the book review area two days ago. After upgrading the book review management, I don't know where to restore it. I later asked my consultant to fix it. I would like to express my gratitude to the consultant Lingxing Xiaoyu.
