Section 223 Public Opinion Direction
In order to build momentum for this trial, the arbitral tribunal went around, first asking the Propaganda Department to publish special news about the case in the "Lingao Times". Although Ding Ding was skeptical about how many people would understand it - Ma Jia's guidance The opinion is "cook rice with uncooked rice". [Read the latest chapter] After all, the new immigrants have received basic literacy training, so reading newspapers is not a problem. As for the local indigenous people, many of them also received literacy training in factories.
The article was written by Ding Ding himself - there were a few scholars in the Propaganda Department of the Ming Dynasty, such as Tong Sheng, who wrote articles that were unspeakable even in vernacular. Ding Ding rarely asked them to write articles, and mainly sent them to proofread manuscripts.
It was not the first time for Tintin to write an article to popularize the law, but it was a big challenge to write an article to popularize the law for the common people in the 17th century - they had neither eaten pigs nor seen pigs running. You had to tell them the basic concepts and also Be easy to understand. It took Tintin racking his brains to write a few French articles.
The focus of the legal popularization articles, according to Ma Jia's requirements, is not on the "Marriage Law", but on the "Criminal Procedure Law" to popularize modern judicial trial procedures and legal concepts. Of course, it must also be compared with the judicial practice of the Ming Dynasty. . According to Ma Jia, the "barbarity", "backwardness", "cruelty" and "incompetence" of the Ming Dynasty's judicial system should be highlighted.
In order to highlight these four key points, Ding Ding had to seek advice from E Shui and asked him to find various materials on the judicial shady affairs of the Ming Dynasty from historical records and notes as cannonballs. In addition, he went to the county government several times and had several interviews with Master Wang.
Mr. Wang has been idle since the county government was completely eliminated. Every day, apart from helping the county office to stamp seals and deal with official documents for this purpose, he would accompany Magistrate Wu to drink, play chess and write poems. They provide generous supplies and provide monthly subsidies, which is enough for them to live leisurely. Of course, I am happy to talk freely when someone comes to ask me questions.
Wang Zhaomin has been a master for decades. Although he may not have a good criminal reputation, he has a lot of experience and has handled countless cases. Now that he heard about "shady" things, he immediately picked up a few cases with relatively complicated and bizarre cases. Said one by one. He also made specific comments one by one based on his views.
Regarding the report of the case itself, Ding Ding also followed the basic principles of later generations and only used certain villages, certain departments and pseudonyms. The Navy even called him specifically and asked him not to include anything in the article that reminded him of the Navy. Wei Aiwen requested that the subsequent fight between the navy and the garrison camp should not appear in the report.
"MMD, who is the Propaganda Department?" Although Ding Ding understood their thoughts, he was very dissatisfied that a department had to dictate his own reports.
Finally, Du Wen suddenly called and asked for a consultation with Ding Ding on whether this case would help improve the status of women.
"I don't think this has anything to do with the status of women..."
"How can you say it doesn't matter? This is a typical objectification. During the whole process, has anyone specifically talked to the victim and listened to her voice?"
Ding Ding admitted that he did not, but the investigators of the arbitration tribunal should have gone to interrogate him.
"Look, no one cares about will and rights!" The voice on the phone was a little excited, "Don't she want a divorce?"
"You go ask the arbitral tribunal."
"Of course I will ask, but there are serious problems with the reporting tendency of the Lingao Times about this case..."
Ding Ding hung up the phone depressedly - what is the tendency of the report? Pan Pan was making coffee and said, "Who has the phone number?"
"Du Wen from the Women's Federation." Dingding couldn't explain to Pan Pan what kind of organization Du Wen's social work office was, so he introduced her to the chairman of the Women's Federation who was easiest for her to understand.
Du Wen also came to Pan Pan many times to talk about asking her to join the Women's Federation. Pan Pan was not interested in joining a political organization - she always believed that women's rights and interests should be protected by themselves, rather than forming some social organizations to ask for it. If they don't agree, they never agree.
"Is this case related to women's rights?" Pan Pan is also very interested in this case. Although she is dissatisfied that the arbitration tribunal has not yet tried the case and has already reached an internal conclusion, but overall there is nothing special about this case. . Of course, she was not able to understand the opinions of some elders who wanted to be sentenced to death or life-long. In her opinion, even a little punishment for "breaking a military marriage" is enough.
"It's related." Ding Ding looked at a table of proofs and manuscripts, "For example, why the woman can't choose the man she loves." He quickly added, "It's Du Wen who said it."
The woman's gossip immediately started: "Does she love that young man?"
"Who knows." Ding Ding said, "This matter has nothing to do with the case."
"I really want to know." Pan Pan's interest was aroused, "I want to write a special report about the emotional problems of naturalized people..."
"Absolutely not." Ding Ding quickly stopped his wife's whims. "Naturalized citizens don't need to think about emotional issues. They can just eat and work. Why do you want them to think so much?"
"You're right, they are human beings too. Why can't they have a love life?" He said firmly insisting on this topic. Ding Ding thought about it again and again, and believed that since the arbitral tribunal was about to announce the Marriage Law, divorce was the most important article in the Marriage Law, and there was nothing wrong with such a report in terms of creating public opinion. Finally agreed to Pan Pan's request. An interview pass was issued to her. You can enter the county jail for interviews.
As a result, Pan Pan's interview was a success, but he returned disappointed. Originally, she thought she would see a middle-aged woman who still had charm, but instead she saw an old, skinny woman, who was not attractive at all.
Although she brought a translator who could speak Hokkien, the person involved was frightened and overwhelmed when she saw a golden-eyed, ghost-like "chan" coming to talk to her, not to mention the emotions spoken by the translator. Noun. Just one sentence, "Have you fallen in love with so-and-so?" explained for a few minutes.
What makes Pan Pan even more discouraged is that this woman who looks like an old woman can't tell whether she loves the suspect or not, and she doesn't even want to talk about whether she likes him or not. Pan Pan even feels that the other person is talking about such things to her. Bian showed silent contempt. Either he didn't know everything he asked, or he just didn't want to talk, which made Pan Pan's interview unsustainable.
In the end, Pan Pan had no choice but to say: "If you were given a chance, would you be willing to marry and live with so-and-so?" She was looking forward to getting an answer that said "love comes first", but the person involved simply said: unwilling. As for why, she didn't want to say it at all. No matter how Pan Pan asked, the other party looked at her with a look that said, "It's none of your business."
"Do these people have their own thoughts?" Pan Pan couldn't help but confide what he saw to Ding Ding.
Ding Ding smiled calmly: "You can't stand this? It would be great for ordinary people in the 17th century to chat with you as you ask and answer questions - don't forget that the person involved is still working as a salesperson in Dongshi - at least he has received some modern civilization. Yes! If you really go to the countryside and chat with the people, I will give you one answer out of ten. What other special reports do you want to write?"
In addition to preparing public opinion in newspapers, the Publicity Department also uses "opinion guides" to build public opinion among the public. Public opinion guides are a new trick created by the Publicity Department. They select among naturalized citizens who are articulate and love to spread gossip. People - mainly traders - spread news and guide the direction of public opinion in the spirit of the weekly "notices" issued by the Propaganda Department. As a reward, each person is given 50 yuan in circulation coupons by the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda every month as a small incentive - Tintin refuses to admit that this is a "remuneration".
The goal was quickly achieved. The guides spread the word in the streets and alleys of every village and town and soon spread the case throughout the county - so much so that some elders raised objections: Will such publicity have a negative impact on the image of the army? Undesirable consequences? Will it happen that once someone joins the army, his wife will be raped?
However, Ma Jia and others believe that only by publicizing this case can the naturalized citizens be afraid of the wives of NR soldiers-several years of hard labor is no joke, and Fu Youdi's labor camp has become a terror to the new Lingao regime. One of the legends is that it is simply a hell on earth in the minds of the people.
As in the past, Du Wen requested that this case be used to promote the "protection of women's rights." She requested that the sailor and his wife be divorced at the same time because their "emotional relationship broke down." At the same time, the sailor's "domestic violence" behavior of beating his wife was investigated. criminal responsibility. Naturally, this request was firmly opposed by the Navy. It was also opposed by most of the elders - except Liu Yuefei, who had just returned from overseas research. Even women elders are indifferent to the happiness of an indigenous woman's love life. Seeing the lack of supporters among the elders, Du Wen personally wrote many articles advocating the protection of women's rights and gave them to Ding Ding for publication in the "Lingao Times External Edition".
In this way, the case was jointly promoted under the different thoughts of various departments, and preparations were made to stage a judicial drama.
Ma Jia happily ordered black robes for An Xi and other people who were preparing to appear in court. He went to the planning institute's warehouse and chose a black silk material with excellent luster and texture. He also directly directed people to repair the simple court in Dongshi, making it look new inside and out. New cork sound-absorbing panels have been installed on the walls to eliminate the noise from conversations in the auditorium. Iron guardrails have been added to the windows - according to the latest news, there will probably be a lot of people watching, and people who can't enter the court will probably climb on the windows like people from another time and space. a! ~!
