There are also some processing opinions written by Ma Qianzhu on the list. [No pop-up novel website] It is not the vest's business to distribute the spoils to whom. What he wants to do is to confirm which trophies can belong to the time traveling group and which ones cannot, and at the same time provide a legal basis.
"Ji An, what do you think of Ma Du Gong's handling of this part?" Ma Jia handed the document to Ji An. As listed above, the goods should be returned to the living owner; the owner of the goods that has been damaged can provide handling advice such as toll payment according to the situation of the loss.
"That's good. We have considered protecting the rights of the victims."
"It's indeed good, but what he did is a gift, not a law." Ma Jia talked eloquently.
"What?" Ji An was puzzled. Ma Dugong's handling opinions should be said to have taken care of all aspects. It was different from the past "smashing everything" argument. How did he get such a comment?
"Well, a gift, a gift using the administrative power in your hands."
Ji An said: "I understand. It is difficult for a court decision to be followed immediately. It is done in accordance with the law. If the leader approves the note and makes a phone call to instruct it, it is a gift of administrative power. That's what I mean."
"Yes, why do people like to go to the media when something happens? Being in the media can easily attract public attention. Once public opinion pays attention, leaders will follow suit. To put it bluntly, the law lacks authority."
The situation in which administrative authority is greater than the law has continued since ancient times. Although modern time and space have a judicial system in form. But Chinese people do not regard it as independent, but as part of the government's administrative system. That’s why the product “petition” came into being. It can also be said that the petitioning system itself is a denial of the legal system.
After Ma Jia criticized the lack of separation of administration and justice for five minutes, he concluded: "Starting from today, the disorder and lawlessness in the Qiongzhou Strait will be completely changed!"
Ji An nodded in agreement repeatedly, but kept muttering in his heart. Although it was just around the corner that he would become a full-time official at the customs, when would the customs have business. What a depression.
Ma Jia didn't understand Ji An's feelings at all, and immediately threw himself into dealing with the pirate incident. He first contacted the members of the Judicial Office, also known as the so-called "Law Club".
During the institutional reform, all those who had a legal background and no specific skills were thrown into the establishment of a judicial office. In fact, this judicial office does not care about judicial affairs at all. To be specific, it is more like some kind of "research institute" specially used to support people. However, in fact, it does not support idlers - when working, I just read newspapers, drink tea, and write a few papers. Such beautiful things do not exist in the Time Travel Group. The so-called judicial office is actually to identify a "unit" for this group of people to facilitate management. People inside are often recruited by various departments. For example, Dong Shiye is often "seconded" to work in the remote exploration team. This is pretty good. Unskilled people are often sent to work on construction sites - although there is no need to dig soil, but to do things like construction supervision. Everyone thinks it is quite embarrassing. After all, we are also from this time and space. Legal elite.
The best among this group of legal elites was Mo Xiaoyu. I don't know how he got into Wen Desi's path, and he became the Minister of Light Industry when the organization was restructured. Now that he is prosperous, he is often seen carrying Ma Qianzhu's favorite briefcase style - a green canvas satchel to meetings. A group of people sneered and at the same time felt extremely jealous in their hearts.
The result of dissatisfaction with the status quo is the formation of cliques. The group had met privately several times. A "Law Club" was also established, with the natural goal of "promoting the legalization process" - this is a relatively lofty goal; of course, once the legalization process begins, their legal knowledge that no one cares about will become useful. ——This is a more realistic goal.
The vest is also hung in this unit before it goes to customs. On the day he was appointed as the Commissioner of Customs, everyone in the Judicial Office gave him a farewell reception.
After getting off work. Make a call to the people at the Justice Office and ask them to meet at the farm cafe - this place has now become the main gathering place for the time travellers.
According to Xiao Zishan's instructions, the cafeteria set up a place similar to a teahouse, selling tea, soft drinks, cigarettes and some miscellaneous snacks and other things for daily leisure use of the traveling public, and only charged coupons. The place quickly came to be known as a "café," even though it didn't sell coffee at all.
The vest came to the cafe and sat down on the round huanghuali wood stool in front of the mahogany bar. The light of the biogas lamp fell faintly on the counter with water stains. The round wine barrels were neatly arranged on the counter. On the wooden shelf inside the counter, the copper faucets on it were shiny and shiny - the wine barrels were all authentic European goods, coming from the UK, Italy and Spain. A trade group going to Macau once saw local goods on a ship that was being sold at a low price and bought them back to store wine.
There was soft, off-key music playing in the cafe. It was a record player brought by someone, playing a Bakelite record. If it weren't for the homespun clothes and classical bun of the waitress behind the counter, it would be quite charming.
When Xiao Zishan ordered to open a teahouse, all the men were excited for a while because they heard that there was a female waitress in it. Later, they realized that it was just a female salesperson, and the sharp-eyed people discovered: Isn't this the cafeteria that specializes in cooking large amounts of tea? There are a few middle-aged indigenous women cooking pot dishes. It makes everyone happy in vain.
Ma Jia has no interest in such tricks at all, but the cafe is a place where people can get together and talk about things. There are not many people here and it is relatively quiet. Convenient to talk about things. Of course there are more secluded and secret places, but Ma Jia feels that what his group is doing is worthy of publicity, and there is no need to pretend to be mysterious like the small groups set up by some people in the Army Army - thinking that no one knows, In fact, everyone knows that gathering in such a public place makes oneself and one's career more "honest".
"A glass of kvass!"
"Would you like a cup of kombucha?" the receptionist asked enthusiastically.
"No." In fact, he didn't really like to drink kvass, which was particularly loved by Duke Ma and the Queen, but at the moment, only kvass tasted like beer. Another thing served in the cafe is kombucha, which tastes okay but looks horrible.
"Let's make some dried sweet potatoes."
"No, this thing is sad."
"How about there is Bobu Dried Fish here, which is the best grilled horse-faced fish -" the receptionist continued to sell the products enthusiastically.
Ma Jia continued to deny that the most indispensable thing in Bopu is fish and shrimp.
The waiter finally showed off his trump card: "There are fried peanuts. Newly harvested peanuts from the farm. Do you want them?"
"Have a dish." The peanuts grown on the sandy land on the riverbank at the farm were harvested. Since they are mainly used for oil crops, they are never served in the cafeteria. I didn't expect them to be available in the cafe. Is this considered selling “high-priced goods” in disguise?
The vest took a long time out of his pocket but didn't come up with any coupons - the cash coupons he received every month had long been spent. However, you can record your purchases here: the saleswoman on duty asked for the ID tag hanging around his neck, and copied down the numbers and serial numbers on it one stroke at a time. Then write down the amount of consumption and ask him to sign. It will naturally be deducted from his account at the end of the month. As for how much money was in the account now, he didn't even bother to ask.
The sweet potato kvass tastes a bit sour, but has rich foam. The kvass sold here is soaked in well water and cooled, giving it a refreshing taste. It is a good drink to relieve the heat. The smell of fried peanuts is very familiar, and it brings back old memories. While he was lamenting, he saw a few otaku-looking time travelers coming in one by one to greet him. The visitor was a member of the "Law Club".
The first person to arrive was a fat otaku named An Xi - he was one of the few people who had eaten poorly and worked hard during this year, but still maintained a great figure. But An Xi's career was very unsatisfactory - he majored in legal theory in modern time and space, and was regarded by many people in the executive committee as "a waste major among wastes", second only to constitutional law and administrative law. The latter was looked down upon by the Executive Committee because he was responsible for administrative law.
This year he basically worked on the dock. Although An Xi has always been resentful about the attitude of the Executive Committee towards him, he still works hard, and sometimes even uses the two words "I am a revolutionary screw" and "Wherever the gold is," in public. A popular saying hangs on the lips. From time to time, he will also defend some policies of the Executive Committee that have caused objections. An Xi thought that the executive committee would give him a good leadership position after seeing his extremely upright attitude. However, almost a year later, he was still working as a freight supervisor at the dock. Now his psychology was seriously unbalanced, and he actually immediately joined the Law Club, a small group that he had been reluctant to get close to in the past.
An Xi worked very hard as soon as he joined. Not only did he go out to connect people with legal backgrounds, he also created something like a common club program. The Law Club, which was originally stuck in a chatting situation, became much more energetic with the addition of such a character. At a club meeting, he proposed the concept of "the world of law is one family" and recruited all people with a legal background, no matter what job they were engaged in, into the law club.
"For someone like Minister Mo, we should ask him to come to our club often to say something. It would also be good to ask him to be an honorary consultant."
In addition, there are Zhou Dongtian, who is engaged in printing and publishing, and also does interrogation work; Cheng Dong, who serves on the Planning Commission... In fact, if we count carefully, there are quite a few people with various law degrees in Chuanzhong, and there are also a few who are in high-level positions. Persons in important positions.
"Our law club cannot be a 'low-key club'," An Xi said at a gathering, "We must absorb people with status and social activities to form a powerful 'outside group'. Otherwise, what will happen if a group of people drink and talk weird things all day long? We can't expect the good luck of the vest to suddenly come to us again, right?"
It was indeed an accident that Ma Jia was suddenly promoted to the position of customs commissioner.
Although everyone was quite disdainful of An Xi's actions, they had to admit: what he said was right.
Ma Jia has always been the Secretary-General of the Law Club, although he became the Commissioner of Customs. Still participating in club activities. An Xi's activities seemed to Ma Jia to have its own effect. At least someone in this group was doing something real. I always talk nonsense at club meetings about the "Indigenous Rights Act", "Inheritance Law", "Vat of Land Law", and how to guarantee private property for the country that has crossed over. In the future, the country that has crossed over should be a federal republic or an aristocratic republic. It is much more useful to discuss the legal issues of the Confederate Republic in a cloudy manner.
Thanks to An Xi's active activities, Mo Xiaoyu has officially accepted the club's appointment letter and became a consultant. Zhou Dongtian also said that he would consider it - speaking of it, many people felt that it was quite dignified when they received the invitation. It was the first time for a civil society organization to invite them to be consultants. This was the first time in the time traveling group.
However, there were no consultants present at this meeting, and it was purely a meeting of club personnel.
Ma Jia greeted everyone and moved to a large table that could seat many people.
"I'm treating you today." Ma Jia was quite proud. "Everyone open up and drink..."
"Open up and drink sour kvass." Someone said with a smile.
"I heard there is rum in Leizhou!"
"Yes, there is. The rum was shipped to Macau by the Executive Committee to be sold."
"Fuck, let's do the foreigners first!"
"It's good to have kvass that costs nothing. Why are you so rich? Are you so generous?"
"You still don't know?" An Xi is always well-informed - he often moves between the offices of various ministries and commissions on the Executive Committee after work.
"Ma Jia is now the president of the Maritime Court!"
A powerful aura of happiness, envy, jealousy and even jealousy mixed together came to my face. Ma Jia couldn't help but force a smile:
"These are all suggestions given by everyone at the last meeting."
The proposal to petition the Executive Committee to establish a maritime court was made at the last club meeting. Including the specific content of the proposal letter, it was also revised and drafted by everyone after Ma Jia drafted it. It is only natural to fool the executive committee.
The receptionist brought a plate full of kvass cups, and the bubbles were sizzling on the large ceramic mug. Ma Jia asked for some snacks to go with the wine.
A group of people were drinking and chatting.
Ma Jia said: "The establishment of the Maritime Court can be regarded as a major progress for our club,"
Everyone nodded together.
"It can even be said to be a landmark." An Xi added.
The words are indeed good. From the overall point of view, it "advances the legalization process", and from a small benefit point of view, it expands the activity energy of the law club. The Executive Committee's ability to pass this resolution also has something to do with the Law Club's lobbying of several consultants and quasi-consultants. Although they are basically second-level cadres with low power, because the circle they interact with belongs to the leadership level, they can exert some influence through their words.
Ma Jia began to report on the meeting.
"For the time being, I still hold the post of Commissioner of Customs concurrently, but the Executive Committee will probably promote Ji An as Commissioner soon. He is more familiar with the actual business of Customs than I am, but we still work together."
An Xi immediately suggested: "Hire Ji An as a consultant. The customs will also have great power and resources in the future."
"This seems too utilitarian." Someone objected, "Ji An is not a law major."
"Don't limit yourself to academic qualifications——"
"I also don't agree that the club's 'eating appearance' is so ugly at this stage." Ma Jia thought: Of course it would be easy to absorb Ji An to the club - he would not disagree. But in this case, the club's "purely academic" reputation will be severely damaged.
Now they only have this "purely academic" brand that is most valuable, and they cannot easily devalue the brand.
Seeing everyone's opposition, An Xi stopped insisting.
"Judging from the meeting of the Executive Committee, the attitude of the Governor is very ambiguous - regarding matters concerning the jurisdiction of the Maritime Court, I originally thought he would object, but I didn't expect that he did not object."
"This is really unexpected. Originally, the maritime court's ruling power should have the greatest impact on his planning committee."
"Yes. But I figured it out. In fact, it doesn't matter to him. The final distribution of materials still lies with the Planning Commission. It's just a matter of going to the Maritime Court to fulfill legal procedures."
Ma Jia continued: "Among the main executive committee members, Wu De is very much in favor of promoting legalization. Although Dugu Sui is only a second-level cadre, he is Ma Dugong's team, and he has also clearly expressed his support for legalization. So the situation is very important to us. Quite beneficial.”
"Mr. Wen didn't express his position?"
"Mr. Wen has not expressed his position, but he will definitely not object."
He then conveyed the spirit of the meeting to "take the Maritime Court as a pilot and gradually promote the legalization process." This fragrant piece of cake made everyone present’s eyes light up. I'm thinking about which major I'm studying and whether I have the chance to fill a decent position quickly. Civil law and economic law majors are more excited than other majors.
"...So we need to work together to deal with the five-masted ship pirate case this time." The vest struck while the iron was hot and hurriedly deceived the crowd.
It's not that he's lazy, it's really difficult for him to do this alone. The problem with the rule of law that he advocates day and night is that this law does not exist at all. Even if the book is copied, some provisions must be modified to conform to the reality of this time and space. After all, the difference between the 20th century and the 17th century is huge.
This case is the first time the Maritime Court has taken over the case. It must be done quickly and accurately. Speaking of which, the facts of this case are quite complicated. Based on the material inspection list handed over by Ma Qianzhu; the interrogation records handed over by the Navy and the General Administration of Political Security, various documents on the ship, and other information, Ma Jia knew that only the cargo status on the ship included: the owner’s own goods, the ship’s Merchant's goods, as well as goods entrusted for transportation. ! ~!
