Chapter 77 The Constitution is First Established

Regarding Yang Song's industry, it is actually an inevitable change. This has been decided from the beginning.

Because at the beginning the entire territory was in the form of public ownership and there was no personal statement, and after the reform of the private ownership, a personal industry was established.

The limited purchasing power of the people has led to a large number of undistributed industries that have been automatically converted into the personal industries of the monarch Yang Song.

Therefore, many of these industries are the original public industries, and a large part of them must be converted into state-owned industries to enable Xia Guo to develop healthily and quickly.

For example, heavy industries such as smelting plants and steel mills are best converted into state-owned assets at this stage, and individuals cannot influence the country's development plan.

However, no one dared to make this proposal, so he could only wait for Yang Song to discover it himself.

Fortunately, Yang Song had no other ideas, otherwise, Xia Guo would have no future to talk about when he was pulling each other.

"I will report to you, the emperor! I have advice." Song Ci stood up and reported.

"My minister and Deputy Director Bao have already listed a general clause on the Constitution of Xia State, and I hope you will read it." Song Ci said, and handed over the booklet prepared in advance to the Jinyiwei on the side, and then the Jinyiwei passed it to Yang Song.

When Yang Song heard that this was the drafting of the Constitution, he immediately opened it curiously and started to read it.

The first page is written in a table of contents. It seems that Song Ci made the draft constitution in the final style.

The first item in the catalog is the preface, followed by the general outline, the basic powers and obligations of citizens, state institutions, and other provisions.

Open the preface: "Preface: Xia State is an excellent and civilized country. It has a long and excellent cultural tradition... This Constitution stipulates the fundamental system and fundamental tasks of the country in the form of laws, is the fundamental law of the country, and has the highest legal effect. Citizens across the country must take the Constitution as the fundamental norm of activities and have the responsibility to safeguard the dignity of the Constitution and ensure the implementation of the Constitution."

Yang Song then turned to the first chapter of the general outline and looked at it: "Article 1: The fundamental system of the country. Monarchy."

"Article 2: The status of the monarch. The monarch is a symbol of the country and a symbol of all citizens."

"Article 3: The inheritance of the monarch. The throne is hereditary. After the monarch is evaluated and recognized, the throne can be designated by the throne. The throne can ascend to the throne when the throne is vacant."

"Article 4: The power of the monarch. The monarch has all the power of the state."

"Article 5: The monarch's obligation. The monarch has the obligation to lead the country to prosperity and strength."

...

"Article 10: All land ownership rights of the state are the state, individual, group, organization, etc., only have the right to use."

"Article 11: Individual economies, private economies, etc. within the scope prescribed by law are all part of the national economy."

"Article 12: The public property of the state is sacred and inviolable."

"Article 13: The legal private property of citizens is sacred and inviolable."

...

"Article 20: Words, languages. The legal characters of the country are Chinese characters, and the legal language is Chinese."

"Article 21: Education. The state implements three-year enlightenment compulsory education and encourages and promotes secondary and higher education."

"Article 22: Science and Technology. The state develops science and technology to improve social productivity."

...

"Article 25: The state maintains social order, suppresses treason and other criminal activities that endanger national security, punishes activities that endanger social security, undermine the national economy and other crimes, and punishes and transforms criminals."

"Article 26: The fundamental task of the country is to build the Xia Kingdom and develop it better, prosperously and civilized."

"Article 27: The State of Xia protects the legitimate rights and interests of foreigners in the territory, and foreigners in the territory must abide by the laws of the State of Xia."

Yang Song only read the general outline part for a long time, but there was still a very thick part of the next three chapters.

So Yang Song said to Song Ci, Bao Zheng and the other two: "After you go back, send a draft constitution to everyone present, and then make a resolution at the next major meeting."

"Yes, I obey the order!" the two bowed and led the order.

When the court meeting dispersed, Yang Song carefully read this draft constitution in the study.

The general outline lists the fundamental system and various regulations of the country, but he was very embarrassed when he looked at the article 4 about the power of the monarch.

He wanted to lead Xia Kingdom to grow and grow without being restricted, and he was also worried that he would maintain his original intention in the future and future crown prince.

Now he can keep calm and control the Xia Kingdom, but when he gets old and is confused, he will make the court officials angry but not speak out because of his great prestige.

If power is limited, he will not be able to exert the various abilities given to it by the system, which will only slow down the development of Xia Kingdom.

So he was in a dilemma.

"Oh~ I'll hear what the court officials said at the next big court meeting." Yang Song put down the draft constitution in his hand, walked out the door, stood in the corridor and looked at the scenery of the back garden, and couldn't help but feel stunned.

"Your Majesty, come down quickly, look at the flowers in the garden, they are blooming beautifully." Xiaojuan ran around in the garden with her child in her arms. When she saw Yang Song standing on the second floor, she raised her right hand and waved her hard at him.

The two little maids behind Xiaojuan looked at the child she was holding with one hand nervously, for fear that she would fall to the ground if she was not paying attention.

"Xiaojuan, be careful, be careful of children. They are all people with children and are still so ignorant." Xiaolan shouted to Xiaojuan in the pavilion, filled with her blaming words.

Yang Song saw that Xiaojuan, who had just become a mother, was still so active, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. He nodded at Xiaojuan, then went downstairs to the back garden, and enjoyed the flowers in the garden with the two girls.

It was March of the sixth year of the Age of Revelation, which was the time when all things were reproduced.

The grand dynasty meeting at the end of March.

"You have also read this draft constitution. I wonder what you think?" Yang Song asked.

The ministers replied: "But the Lord is the master!"

"Is the Lord? You have also seen the first article on the state institutions in Chapter 3 of the drafting of the Constitution. The court is responsible for the legislative power. What you mean by letting Is the Lord be the Lord is that you have no objection to this drafting of the Constitution?" Yang Song asked seriously.

The ministers replied in unison again: "Your Majesty is wise!"

In fact, it is not that many ministers do not want to give their opinions, but that they do not know where to start to give their opinions. The Constitution is still an unfamiliar concept to them and they do not know the meaning it represents.

But Yang Song knew that the birth of the Constitution represented the beginning of rule of law!

In desperation, Yang Song said: "Then today we will explain the constitution one by one and express whether we agree with it. In the future, this will be the fundamental law of the Xia Kingdom."

"yes!"……

"The first article of the general outline, do you have any opinions on this article? Do you agree?" Yang Song asked directly.

The ministers looked at each other, then looked down at the legal provisions, and all nodded in agreement and said, "Agree!"...

Next is the discussion on the drafting of the constitution in this draft.

Song Ci and Bao Zheng explained and explained the things that Yang Song or the ministers didn’t understand.

"Let me add a few points." At the end of the discussion, Yang Song saw that no one had put forward new opinions, so he had to propose: "Let me add two suggestions at the end of the general outline."

"Article 28: Citizens of Xia State should keep in mind the image of Xia State when leaving the country and should not commit acts that damage the prestige of the country."

"Article 29: When citizens of Xia Kingdom go abroad and encounter unfair treatment or other harms, they should be clear about the responsibility of the motherland behind them for protecting the people."

"I wonder if you have any opinions?" Yang Song asked.

The ministers agreed and said, "I have no objection, the lord is wise!"

What do the ministers have to say about the two points put forward by Yang Song? These are all meaningless regulations at this stage.

Finally, after a day of discussion, the draft constitution was finally passed and implemented!
Chapter completed!
