Chapter 847 Greater China Charter

ps: "Super Ambiguous Master" is welcome to comment on it.

Although Lu Bu has many troops, compared with the current population of nearly 50 million in the Chinese Empire, it is only 10 to 50. In addition, most county soldiers are in the military farming, more than half of the county soldiers are in the military farming, and the regular Central Army is also in the garrison. At the same time, the army with combat missions generally does not exceed 200,000. Moreover, the prerequisite for their battle is to eat from the enemy, beware of the enemy's solid walls and clear the fields, try to seize and replenish them from the enemy without transporting them from their own rear, so the pressure on the entire national economy will be reduced.

Lu Bu thinks about the future. With his strong promotion and technology, the entire country's productivity is developing rapidly. Steam engines were invented and improved continuously, and used in real production. The Chinese Empire began to enter the era of industrial revolution. In the following decade, electricity appeared again and quickly entered the era of electrification. Aircraft, ship, train, automobiles were launched one after another. Radio, telegraph, telephone, and computers will definitely be released one after another during Lu Bu's lifetime. With these advanced modes of transportation and communication means, the Chinese Empire's foreign war became one-sided, and the pressure on the national economy would be even more reduced.

The foreign policy of "striving all directions and subduing the four barbarians" formulated by Lu Bu throughout his life was strictly implemented. The Han people restored their iron blood from the former Great Qin Empire, and their military achievements were greater than everything. The living space of the Han people and the responsibility of expanding territory were higher than everything. All the lands that the Han people had been to and heard of gradually belonged to the Han people. Those foreign races who were unwilling to join the Han people were destroyed and sealed. All the theories that violated this national policy were destroyed and sealed.

However, these are all later stories. What Lu Bu is now focusing on improving the legal system of the Chinese Empire. He wants to truly realize the ideal that the Han nation has not realized for thousands of years and govern the country according to law.

There is a great premise for governing the country according to law, and a reliable constitution. If the constitution is just a representative of the will of some superiors, rather than a representative of the interests of the entire people, such a constitution can only become a toy of the will of the power, and the legal system established on such a constitution cannot be effectively implemented at all, because the superiors themselves regard the law as a random thing to play with. In this case, governing the country according to law is just a joke.

Lu Bu did not want to repeat such a tragedy. He did not want to see the rights of the innocent people of the Han people being ruthlessly trampled on by corrupt officials, so he wanted to establish a complete and conscientious constitution.

The new dynasty began, and everything was renewed. Lu Bu issued a general amnesty order. In the past, all criminals who were imprisoned for evading corvee, fighting taxes, and resisting oppression of aristocratic families and other related crimes were acquitted. Those who were forced to steal due to livelihoods, and those who did not injure people were acquitted. Those cases involving human lives were retried and those who found to be wronged were released. All those who were wronged can receive state compensation. The compensation was more or less based on their respective circumstances, but basically enough for pension.

After promulgating the amnesty order, Lu Bu began to improve the original "Da Han Laws" and asked Tingwei Fayan, the Minister of Justice Ying Shao, the Minister of Justice Zhong Yao and other hundreds of legal scholars to join forces to revise a "Character" and a "Code" according to Lu Bu's intention. Later, it was named "Great Chinese Charter" and "Great Chinese Code".

In the Greater China Charter, Lu Bu determined that the emperor was the lord of all people. He determined the supremacy of imperial power and established the norm for equality of all people under the royal family. All Chinese people have political rights and interests without crimes, are citizens, and are equal. Officials and people are equal in morality, belief and law. They all enjoy the protection of the Greater China Charter and the Greater China Code. Except for those who violate the Charter and the Code and are deprived of political rights, they are deprived of political rights, must undergo labor and supervision, and cannot exercise their political rights for life or part of the time.

Under the emperor, the three powers were separated. The Council of Representatives gradually had legislative power. The Council of Representatives led by the Prime Minister had executive power. The Tingwei was changed to the Supreme Court and enjoyed judicial power. The law required the Council of Representatives to Gongguo, but the Prime Minister had veto power. Even if the Prime Minister had jeopardy, if the Supreme Court pointed out that the law in it violated a basic principle of the Constitution, no department could make full decisions without the recognition of the other party. The emperor enjoyed the highest veto power.

The Greater China Charter stipulates the composition forms of each organization, especially the rules of the Council of the Council, stipulates the powers and obligations of each organization, and stipulates that bureaucrats at all levels must accept supervision and questioning from the Council of the same level while accepting supervision from superiors. At the central level, the prime minister must accept supervision from the State Council of the Council of the State at the central level, in addition to being responsible to the emperor.

In the "Preface" of the Greater China Charter, Lu Bu did not obey the advice of Ying Shao and Zhong Yao, and did not write down his prestige of how to conquer the world. He always felt that being able to get the world was the choice of the people. He should not be satisfied with the support of the people. Instead, he should humbly and respectfully thank the people for their support, and continue to work hard for the welfare of most people.

In the Preface, Lu Bu wrote: "In order to build a perfect country, to establish justice, to make people live peacefully, to jointly defend against foreign enemies, to enhance the well-being of the whole people, and to ensure that we and our descendants can enjoy the happiness brought by freedom, we jointly decided to formulate our constitution." The core keywords of the preface are the people, justice and happiness. At the beginning, Lu Bu himself did not mention Lu Bu himself, nor did he mention to ensure the inheritance of his pure bloodline of the Chinese Empire. In the same sentence, he felt that everything was the choice of the people. If a regime was extremely vicious and harmed the people, even if the book of his propaganda was written correctly, it would not necessarily have a good ending in the end. Like Saddam and Gaddafi were like this.

In the Greater China Charter, Lu Bu made it clear that the rights and interests of every legal citizen of the Chinese Empire were clearly stated, and he emphasized several points:

The people's right to protect their personal life, housing, documents and property shall not be violated by unreasonable searches; unless there is a reasonable basis for believing that they are guilty, they shall be guaranteed by oath or solemnly declared, and the places that should be searched shall be listed in detail, and the person or property that should be searched shall not be issued.

Soldiers shall not be stationed in any private house without the permission of the homeowner in peacetime; during wartime, they shall not be allowed to enter private houses except in accordance with the methods stipulated by law.

No laws on the following matters shall be enacted: deprives of freedom of speech or publication; deprives the people of the right to peacefully assemble and petition the government for wrongful petition.

All the amendments made thereafter are to further improve and protect human rights, and to strengthen the protection of civil rights while constantly restricting the public power of bureaucracy.

The Greater China Charter uses hundreds of "no" and "should", such as Article 1, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 1, the Constitution stipulates that "all reports and accounts of public funds should be published frequently." It also stipulates that "the property of civil servants must be disclosed." It also stipulates that "in all criminal proceedings, the defendants shall enjoy the following rights..." "No state in the empire shall deny or deprive citizens of their right to vote because of their gender." These words are all used to restrict government behavior and restrict what government agencies and their staff can and cannot do.

Before this, the charter made by Ying Shao and Zhong Yao and others used more than 30 "no" and "should" but all of them were used to restrict the behavior of "local", "organization", "group", "citizens" and "individuals", and almost none of them were used to restrict state behavior. For example, Article 10 stipulates that "no organization or individual may embezzle, buy, sell or illegally transfer land in other forms."

Lu Bu overthrew all of them and asked them to rework. None of them did they reworked them to satisfy Lu Bu. Later, Lu Bu simply stripped their official positions first, let them eat and work with the general public, let them feel the suffering of the middle and lower classes, and think about the problem from the perspective of most people. They suddenly realized that the long-term stability of a country is to satisfy most people.

The Greater China Charter stipulates that the Constitution of the Chinese Empire is supreme. The Constitution and the laws approved by the Emperor and whose power is higher than all other laws, administrative regulations and regulations. The Supreme Court has the power to review the unconstitutional examination. It can examine whether the laws of the legislative body conflict with the Constitution and declare that laws that violate the Constitution are invalid. At the same time, the Supreme Court can also review the constitutionality of laws promulgated by governments at all levels, including the Prime Minister of the State Council. Once the Constitution is confirmed and needs to be amended, a referendum must be held, and more than 70% of the people agree to it before the constitution can be amended, and the emperor cannot decide alone.

From the historical judgment of the Constitution on Chinese land, Lu Bu judged that the Constitution did not receive the minimum respect and was repeatedly violated. It was fundamentally a lack of belief in "constitutional supremacy" and mechanism-wise, it was not realized "judicialization of constitutional supervision": it was neither unconstitutional review of other specific laws based on the Constitution, nor could it be cited as the basis for judging cases in specific cases.

Starting from himself, after formulating and improving the Constitution, Lu Bu took the Constitution as the basis for everything and worked hard to promote the judicialization of constitutional supervision, urged the Supreme Court's court to conduct unconstitutional reviews on other specific laws and regulations in accordance with the Constitution, and urged courts in various places to develop the habit of invoking the Constitution as the basis for judging cases in specific cases. First of all, all public officials, especially judicial personnel, respect the Constitution, so that the whole people can respect the Constitution, and the constitutional monarchy system that Lu Bu is determined to establish can be consolidated.

When Lu Bu established a constitutional monarchy system, it sounded a bit dictatorial and not democratic enough, but is democracy alone enough? Is democracy omnipotent? No, Hitler also came to power by the democratic elections, and it was absolutely supportive of public opinion. Such democracy is the so-called "tyranny of the majority". Therefore, Lu Bu reflected democracy in the Greater China Charter and its amendment. What is more valuable is that it reflects respect for people and respect for all rights of people, which has never been before and has never been there.
