Chapter 13 Five-Year Plan (4)
Of course, this is not professional discrimination or racial discrimination, and it represents different demands of interests. Because most time travelers are alone, even if they have families, they represent the interests of time travelers. After the time travelers intermarry with local naturalized people, there are more families with intermarriage partners in their interest representation. Because they are intermarrying with neutral local naturalized people, it is difficult to maintain absolute loyalty to the time travel group if they are hostile to the East China **. Although such intermarrying is not prohibited by East China **, they will definitely treat this differently within the administrative system.
However, the administrative system treats time travelers who intermarry with local naturalized people, which has not caused much controversy, because not every time traveler wants to take the path of politics, and time travelers who choose to go into politics are also very careful about their marriages. In this way, they pursue different things and do not interfere with each other, so that they will not cause too much problem.
What really has the problem is the different concepts of marriage between men and women in the time travel group. Modern men basically have a dream of a group of wives and concubines, while most women hope to end up together. Although there are a few women who want to raise three thousand faces, this number is basically negligible. At least among time travelers, such women have not been found.
Very few time travelers travel through time traveling together by family or couples. At the beginning of this era, some people became husband and wife in order to solve their physiological needs. However, as the power of East China expanded, more and more time travelers traveling with local naturalized marriages were increasing. Therefore, many single or unmarried time travelers lived a wonderful life with a group of wives and concubines at this time.
In this way, some families or couples travel through time travel, and the time travelers who get married internally in the early stages of time travel have an imbalance. But the problem is that they are not only married, but also their other half are time travelers. East China ** cannot prohibit time travelers from having multiple wives. However, if they are married and their partners are time travelers, they must obtain the other party's consent to take a concubine. It is almost impossible for modern women to agree that their men have a mistress, let alone take a concubine. Because they are in East China ***, time travelers do not need to rely entirely on men to survive, and they have the confidence to prevent men from realizing their dreams.
Of course, if all time travel women prohibit their husbands from taking concubines and raising mistresses, then the situation will be better, because everyone is like this anyway, and it is difficult for brothers and brothers to get brothers. However, there are a few time travel women who do not care about taking concubines. As long as they ensure that they are the wife of the eldest wife, the laws of East China can also ensure this. Their theory is that men cannot control anyway, so it is better to keep the mistresses and concubines in their own hands. Some people even think more openly, and everyone plays their own things and does not interfere with each other.
But this makes others feel unbalanced. XX is also a time-traveling woman, but she can let her husband take a concubine. Why does her family want to keep her in a tight position? To put it bluntly, she doesn’t worry about poverty but inequality.
Therefore, in order to realize the ideal of having many wives and concubines, some time travelers chose to divorce, but not many time travelers made this choice. After all, divorce is not a glorious thing. Because it is divorced to realize the ideal of having many wives and concubines, it will not be recognized even in the old time and space. Therefore, among time travelers, such people will basically not receive much support. Even if someone supports it in his heart, he dare not say it easily.
Of course, there are people who use the methods used in the old time and space to secretly keep them. Fortunately, it is very common to keep outdoor rooms in this era. Moreover, raising mistresses is not a shameful thing in the old time and space. In a sense, it is also one of the symbols of successful people. However, raising mistresses is a shameful thing. Once things are exposed, it will be a big show. And such a play has been staged several times in East China. Those who have not been exposed are also worried.
In fact, the Executive Yuan is also quite troubled by such things. Because if something happens, it will eventually come to the Executive Yuan. Although there are special departments to deal with such things, it is not easy to deal with. The so-called "clever officials can't make up for family affairs, and it will be difficult to deal with when the trouble breaks out, which makes everyone know.
Fortunately, the current incidents are basically self-employed or time travelers in enterprises. There are no officials yet, and there are no bad influences. Therefore, the Executive Yuan does not urgently need to solve the needs of similar matters. Although Bi Jing is not big, the contradictions and opposition are extremely serious and difficult to resolve. Moreover, there are too many things that the Executive Yuan has to deal with, so he can only put them aside first. If someone raises it, he will throw it into the Senate Parliament to vote, and he has not taken time to guide you. You can do it yourself.
However, no matter how much the Executive Yuan is concerned, some people are willing to take charge. At the end of 1906, a group of female time travelers spontaneously formed a "Women's Rights Protection Association", which aims to protect the rights and interests of female time travelers, and requires the East China ** to implement a monogamy system and severely crack down on the behavior of taking concubines and keeping them. Now more than 100 people have joined the association, and most of them are married by themselves and oppose husbands taking concubines. Of course, there are also several female time travelers who allow husbands to take concubines. They themselves say that it is to protect their status as the official palace. But there are more than 10 men among them. Although these people have one thing in common, that is, their wives are all time travelers, but a few of their wives did not join the organization. This is why. According to rumors, they are based on the fact that I cannot have a group of wives and concubines, so everyone should not think about it.
This proposal was created by the Women's Rights Protection Association, but it was eventually rejected in the Elderly Council. Although several core members of the Women's Rights Protection Association also went to Qin Zheng to argue, Qin Zheng said that the system of the Elderly Council was like this. If it was not approved, it means it was not widely representative. Therefore, although he also opposed the concubine system, he was powerless to do anything about it. After hearing this, several core members could only retreat in disappointment.
After turning this page, the next issue was one of the key issues discussed in the Senate during this period. It was proposed by the Executive Yuan and discussed the two issues together. The first is that the East China ** will establish the Advisory Council in 1908 and recruit the Advisory Council; the second is the [Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elders].
The Advisory Council is composed of local naturalized people. Of course, the candidates are selected by the East China *** and can represent people from all walks of life in the East China *** society. Through consultation meetings, we can negotiate and discuss the major policies, decisions, and important issues related to people's lives. At the same time, we can put forward their own suggestions so that local naturalized people can play the role of participating in politics and making decisions and supervision. Simply put, it is to allow local naturalized people to participate in political activities in East China **, have suggestions, and have certain decision-making rights.
For East China, this is of course a major resolution, because before that, East China, in a sense, could be regarded as a collective dictatorship of time travelers, and although within the time travelers, a relatively democratic system was still implemented. Therefore, the establishment of the Advisory Council and the recruitment of the Advisory Council meant that the travelers would give up part of their power to local naturalized people, or the travelers would no longer have all the power of East China.
Although the principle of the Consultative Council is that the candidates of members are determined by the East China *** selection, and the resolutions of the Consultative Council only have the right to propose and do not have the power to form a bill, whether the implementation will be decided by the East China ** or vote in the Senate. Therefore, the substantive power of the current Right Consultative Council is actually very limited, but Bi Jing has taken the first step. To apply the popular saying in the old time and space, it is to open a gap in a solid fortress. So what consequences will be caused by the development of this way? From then on, time travelers and local people live in peace and share power; or time travelers have opened Pandora's magic box and digging their own graves, it is not known whether the power of choice is in this Senate.
The [Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Elders] formally defines the rights and interests of time travelers in the form of legislation and protects the interests of time travelers.
Although the current East China ** is collectively dictatorial by time travelers, how much power is the time travelers, which can enjoy those powers and have those interests, although some systems have been formulated before, there is no complete and clear statement, nor is there any legislation formed.
The establishment of the Advisory Council and the recruitment of the Advisory Council mean that time travelers will give up some power to the local naturalized people, which will inevitably cause tension and panic among a considerable number of time travelers. The formulation of the [Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elders] is to make time travelers feel at ease and let time travelers know that even if a part of the power is given up, the East China ** will still ensure that time travelers will not have to worry about all power being taken or being undermined. Therefore, the Executive Yuan decided to put these two issues together to discuss.
It is precisely because these two issues are so important that they not only affect the development prospects of East China **, but also closely related to every time traveler. In a sense, it is much more important than the previous founding of the People's Republic of China, so it cannot be decided by a simple voting. The Executive Yuan has also specially designed the voting process.
