"Premier Chen, Chen Qingtian, you have to make the decision for the elders of Shenzhou!"

"Premier Chen, you have to make the decision for hundreds of thousands of people in Shenzhou!"

"The sky is above..."

Chen Qingtian still made people block the yamen's general office. Those who blocked him were all the first-class landlords in Shenzhou. In the years of the land revolution in later generations, they were all very good bullies.

But now, the landlord bullies in Deep State encounter capitalism with blood and dirty things flowing from head to toe.

So the bully was also bullied! Is there any reason for this?

Chen Qingtian looked at the bullies with sympathy, but he was a feudal bureaucrat! Of course, feudal bureaucrats and landlord bullies have mutual appreciation. In Chen Qingtian's view, the capitalists in Tianjin are undoubtedly evil and cunning.

It is perfect for both business and evil, and it is very suitable for the style of the Great Zhou Republic.

For example, when they treated the gentry and people in newly affiliated places such as Hedong, Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Jingji, etc., they lacked a kind of open and honest kingly way, and used many cunning tricks like profiteering.

In order to deceive the gentry and people in the above-mentioned places into surrender, the Tianjin Republican government first played the imperial examination in Hedong, claiming that it would hold the Discipline Examination in Hedong, and the Ministry of Rites Examination in the 11th year of the Great Zhou Republic!

Although the Tianjin authorities only endowed the prefectures in Hedong (Hedong did not all endowed) announced a timetable for holding the Discretion Examination and the Ministry of Rites, the gentry in Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Jingji and other places also took it for granted that there would be a chance to take the imperial examination. Isn’t there a Ministry of Rites’ examination? Since there is an examination, we should not only allow scholars from Hedong to participate, otherwise how could it be an examination? It would be simply changed to a "road examination" in Hedong.

However, the prefectures in Hedong are now holding trials, but the prefectures in Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Jingji and other places have no intention of holding imperial examinations at all.

A while ago, Chen Qingtian also specially moved his article to Zhou Guozheng's government for inquiries, and the answer he received was shocking! The imperial examination was only held in Hedong Autonomous Province, which is a special system of Hedong Autonomous Province. Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Jingji and other places are all directly under the jurisdiction, so the imperial examination system will not be implemented unless the Senate of the Republic amends the relevant laws...

Because he didn't understand the meaning of the Ministry of Rites' reply (about the law amendment of the Senate), Chen Qingtian also specifically consulted the military judges living in the Shenzhou army (the military judges of the Republic of China all came from legal studies and knew very well about the laws of the Zhou State). Hence he learned that the appointment and removal of civil servants in the Great Zhou Republic were based on the "Election and Removal Law" and the "Public Official Law".

The former is used to appoint and remove middle and senior civil officials, which is the so-called "government appointment officer". Later, it is used to appoint low-level affairs officials, similar to the public officials of the Song Dynasty.

The legal basis for the implementation of the imperial examination and election of officials in Hedong is the provisions on the appointment and removal of government officials in the "Election and Removal Law" on the appointment and removal of government officials in the autonomous territory. One of them is the "appointment and removal method approved by the Senate."

That is to say, the Senate approved the Hedong Autonomous Province to select government officials at all levels through the imperial examination!

Because Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Jingji and other places are directly under the jurisdiction of the government officials, the appointment and removal power of government officials is controlled by the Senate and the local council elected by citizens.

There is no room for imperial examinations to be selected!

Of course, there has not been a formal province in Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Jingji and other places, and the governance has not been transferred to the civilian government, but is managed by the army. The appointment and removal power of officials at all levels is controlled by the Ministry of War of the Great Zhou Republic.

Therefore, Chen Gou who was retained was not a formal civil servant of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but a temporary military officer of the Great Zhou Republic Army. The military officers of the Great Zhou Republic Army were actually divided into "temporary" and "formal".

The former is "mobilized military officers", usually the recruited reserve military officers re-entered for active service, which is "temporary officers", and they will be demobilized after the mobilization is completed. Unless they are appointed by a new "formal military officer".

In addition, the Ministry of War can also grant positions and ranks of citizens, civilians, and even non-nationals to mobilize military officers according to the needs of the war.

Chen Gou is the "civilian mobilized military officer" granted by the Ministry of War, and is a "third-class official" and "fourth-class official". It is no wonder that the serious active military officer of Zhou State looked down on him.

This really made Chen Go feel humiliated!

He is a civil servant, but now he has become a "temporary military officer" of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Isn't this humiliation?

In addition to using the imperial examinations to deceive gentry in Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Jingjin and other places, and using "temporary military officers" to deceive officials like Chen Go, Zhou State also used landlords from all over the country to cheat landlords except Hedong.

It is clear that it is easy to protect private land and not to curb private land mergers, but in a blink of annexation, the landlords used "exchange contracts" and "autumn tax" to set up a trap for the landlords. It suddenly turned more than 90% of the private land in Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Jingxi and other places into official land!

Although this method is completely in line with the laws of the Great Zhou Republic, it is actually just a robbery!

"What to do? What to do?"

Faced with the question from a group of landlord bullies, Chen Gao's resentment towards Zhou State also surged, as if he wanted to find a point of venting.

"What Zhou army did was to occupy the people's land!" Chen Gou bit, "It's not a way to live for the common people! The people in Shenzhou are about to change!"

"What? Civil Rebellion?"

"But the Zhou army is both numerous and strong!"

"Yes, there are four or five thousand people! They are as fierce as a vicious person... they can't beat them!"

Chen Gou glanced at the landlords and Lao Cai and snorted: "Who wants you to fight hard? If you fight hard, you will give away the head!"

"If you don't have to be hard, what else can you do?"

"Will you mobilize the people to petition in Tianjin? According to the laws of the Zhou State, civilians also have the right to petition and complain, and they can always appeal to the Senate! Think about it, if tens of thousands of people in a state go to the Senate to accuse the brigade commander in charge of military control, the battalion commander is still good? As long as you can bring down a few brigade commanders, battalion commanders, and check the fields can still be carried out?"

"High! It's really high!"

"Chen Qingtian is truly a good man who sings outside Donghua Gate! He is Gao Ming..."

"Without any further, let's go back and mobilize the villagers immediately and go north to Tianjin!"

Chen Gou breathed a sigh of relief, and he finally dealt with the storm.

This is not a rebellion. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Republic, civilians can not only petition, but also sue officials!

Of course, as a temporary government official appointed by the Ministry of War, Chen Gou will definitely be removed from his post as a policy of inciting civilians to fight against the government... Theoretical punishment will end here.

Beheading, sitting in prison, etc.... in theory, it won't be. Because the judicial trials in the Great Zhou Republic are not controlled by the government, but are a relatively independent system.

The escort government can only sue Chen Go, but cannot order him to take him out and cut his head.

However, Chen Gou would not be stupid enough to wait for others to frame him. It would be better to abandon his official position as soon as possible!

Go to Chang'an, to Jiangnan, to Xiangyang Prefecture, the world is so great that there is always a wise ruler who Chen Go can be loyal to!

...

Chen Gou abandoned his official position and went to find the wise ruler, but the fire of "non-violent protest" ignited by him soon became a prairie fire.

The land policy implemented by the Great Zhou Republic in the New Affiliated Area this time is definitely unpopular!

However, the military force of the Great Zhou Republic Army was enough to implement such an unpopular policy. If you openly fight with force, you would have no chance of winning.

Therefore, most landlords and bullies were taken by the force of the Republican Army and dared not rebel. After seeing that the "peaceful protest" in Shenzhou was not suppressed by blood, they followed suit and sent petition groups to Tianjin.

But there are exceptions!

Near Daming Mansion, along the west side of the Yellow Flood Zone, a team of people carrying weapons and wearing ordinary people's clothes were walking in a winding manner.

Leading the lead was a short black-faced old man, in his fifties, riding a thin horse with a hair loss. While walking forward, he scolded a burly black man bearded beard beside him.

"How come you are so hot-tempered? You didn't even see that they were from the mountain, so you picked up your axe and chopped it! Now, the brothers lost most of their savings, and they had lost all their money for many years. They also became wanted criminals of Zhou. They could no longer make a living by buying and selling people. If they were arrested, they would have to be exiled to Java Island if they didn't cut off their heads!"

"Brother Gongming, stop talking, Tieniu regrets it too! But those who work in the Republican Army are too bullying! Bullying me Tieniu is honest, one thousand acres of land! One thousand acres... Isn't it just a white contract?"

"You said, you also said... You are a black man who kills thousands of swords. A thousand acres of land is a ball? You don't have to sell more people to Nanyang? Now we have no money and no land, and we can't make a living by buying and selling people. We have to go to Taihang Mountain to join Kong Yanzhou. I wonder if that guy can tolerate us?"

"Brother Gongming, can we reach Taihang Mountain now? There are still hundreds of miles from the Yellow River? If we are caught by the Republican Army..."

When it comes to the Republican Army, Song Jiang, who has finally been promoted from a human trafficker to a rebel, shivered.

Those people are really amazing!

Can't beat it...

"Brother Gongming," Wu Yong, who is already old and has become a white-faced old scholar, reminds him at this time, "In fact, they may not take us seriously."

Song Jiang looked back and said, "Military advisor, why did you say that?"

Wu Yong touched his gray beard, "I heard that they did not clear the fields in Yunzhou, but also clear the fields at the same time in all the prefectures on both sides of the Yellow River... and they could not find the fields and tax payment certificates and immediately confiscated them. This is a public occupation of the land among the people, and we may not be the only one who resists. Maybe the Republican Army is too busy now!

So we just need to walk carefully, hide too conspicuous weapons, and pretend to be refugees who flee the famine, which may not attract other people's ideas."

Song Jiang nodded and blackheaded, "Yes, yes, the military advisor is thoughtful... Tie Niu, throw your axe away quickly!
Chapter completed!
