Speaking of the famous programmatic document in another time and space, Beihai Town has no problem borrowing it. The content of a total of 60 items is already comprehensive. It only takes a little modification of some nouns. Why bother to re-compile one?

Zhao Xin keenly noticed that there was something wrong here. Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, he immediately stuffed two people in. During the subsequent speeches, Zhou Weiguo did not speak anymore, but occasionally showed a thoughtful look, and then started writing on the notepad.

At 5 pm, Yu Deli announced that today's meeting ended and continued at 8:30 tomorrow morning, and informed the dinner time and dining location during the meeting. Because it was a closed-door meeting, in order to prevent the content of the meeting from leaking, the accommodation and dining of 29 people were gathered together. No special emergency matters and the notes signed by Zhao Xin were allowed to go out alone.

Zhou Weiguo packed up the things on the table and just stepped out of the conference room. Yu Deli stopped him: "Xiao Zhou, wait a moment."

Yu Deli is already 57 this year, and Zhou Weiguo is just 43, so there is no problem calling him "Xiao Zhou".

"Old Yu, is there anything wrong?"

"Dinner will be held at half past six, let's talk a few first. Well, if you have something to do now, we can chat after dinner."

"Then let's talk first." Zhou Weiguo turned around and returned to his seat. At this time, he was the only one left in the room, Yu Deli and Liu Zheng.

"I think about the common program, I can draw on the historical part. What do you think?"

Zhou Weiguo understood that his little thoughts would be difficult to achieve without Yu Deli's support. He hesitated and said: "I want to add an explanation of the legal rights of citizens and clarify that we must protect personal rights and property rights. With this, not only the legitimacy of the political system is guaranteed, but also the boundaries of rights and interests of the upper and lower classes can be clarified. Power cannot be subsided. Only by ensuring the personal ownership of the people can the construction of constitutionalism, rule of law, and balanced political system be successfully realized."

Hiss~~! Yu Deli raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Are you planning to introduce Roman law?"

Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "Yes. Only by establishing a standard for prohibiting the infringement of other people's property and establishing a public power and state form that fully guarantees the individual ownership system can the basis of the republic system."

Yu Deli didn't expect that Zhou Weiguo was thinking about this, which was a big proposition. He couldn't help but glance at Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng smiled and said, "Old Zhou, can you tell me what you thought?"

"Okay." Zhou Weiguo looked up at the wall clock on the wall. It was early before supper time, so he opened his notepad, turned to a certain page, and showed off his teacher's attitude.

"In China under the traditional imperial power, the primary function of the city is the nodes for the gathering and transmission of power on the large network of the imperial power system. Then under this premise, the ancient urban economy had two most important characteristics. First, the urban economy must be under the control of imperial power, and overall it must also be based on serving imperial power; secondly, the prosperity of the urban economy is based on the centralized control of the ruling power over the whole society and the rapid expansion of power consumption..."

"Wait a minute, Lao Zhou, what are you talking about? Why do I become more confused the more I listen to it?"

Yu Deli said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Liu, why are you anxious? You have to let others finish their words. Xiao Zhou, you continue."

"Sorry, Lao Zhou."

Zhou Weiguo looked at Liu Zheng and saw that the other party apologized, he suppressed his displeasure and continued: "Once this prosperity based on the cruel plunder of vulnerable groups reaches the limit of society's carrying capacity, the entire social structure will collapse in an avalanche and start the next cycle of reincarnation. Therefore, the imperial society not only cannot lead to the emergence and establishment of modern systems, but also cannot even maintain the stable operation of the traditional economy for a long time. Can you two understand what I said?"

"All the king's land is under the world, and all the king's ministers are the king's ministers." Yu Deli stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and sent a pot of boiling water to the guards standing guard, and then closed the door and said, "Sorry, please continue."

Zhou Weiguoxin said that I should have left directly just now, not stayed. He sighed secretly and continued: "Beihai Town wants to build a new system and a new society. I think the most important thing is to safeguard the legal rights of the common people. The medieval Europe was able to get out of the darkness because Roman law established legal rights and legal systems that could confirm and protect the private property of the people. From civilians to nobles, and even kings and emperors, they must follow and guarantee private ownership when they are owners of property. Only under this premise can we establish a modern political and economic system..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Liu Zheng couldn't help but interrupt: "Lao Zhou, the transition from imperial power society to civil society was an extremely complicated process. As far as I know, the British had been repeatedly playing for hundreds of years for the Magna Carta, and the French died between restoration and revolution. Zhao Xin and Deng Fei and others had seen it with their own eyes. Even in our era, under the oppression of external forces, reform and revolution, autocracy and constitutionalism, they all experienced repeated battles and repeated repetitions. We have no way to talk about the basis of citizenship. Where can we do legal power?"

Zhou Weiguo was a little angry. This was the second time that Liu Zheng interrupted himself. He immediately retorted: "I don't agree with what you said. Isn't Beihai Town fighting the world? As Lao Yu said, we only have 29 people, and only 278 are in full swing. Xujun Republic, what is that not constitutionalism? Besides, once the troops go south, the speed of winning the world will be very fast, and the Qing Dynasty is no match for it at all. If the law is implemented specifically, it is not enough to count the security police in Quanbeihai Town. It must be used to use bureaucrats who grew up under the feudal system. Who can guarantee that they will not abuse them in our name when enforcing the law and using power?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Uh..."

Liu Zheng admitted that the other party's words were very reasonable, and this was really a problem. If the people's personal and property rights were not protected, it would be impossible to stop the abuse of power. He has seen too many such things in the island country over the years, and the people are simply unable to resist the wanton oppression of the clerks and bureaucrats.

However, at this time, Yu Deli's pupils shrank slightly. He keenly captured a word from Zhou Weiguo's words, and then pretended to be careless and said in a plain tone: "Xiao Zhou, did you just talk about constitutionalism?"

Before coming to Beihai Town, Zhou Weiguo was just a Chinese teacher who was interested in Western political theory, and sometimes he would complain about it online. He personally agreed with the theory of "building society with civil rights and contractual relationships". In his mind, the "thousand-year legal empire" like ancient Rome was the most imitated and practiced; only countries based on the ethics of civil rights will not enter the vicious circle of "regulation and chaos".

He was depressed because Zhao Xin arranged Yu and Liu, but Liu Zheng interrupted him without thinking, so he explained: "Yes! In the constitutional and legal system, citizens' property rights, right to life and freedom are the cornerstones of public rights. With a constitutional system, the rights of the people can be protected, and it is also the premise for everyone to realize their moral potential. Isn't Confucianism always talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality to rule the world?

I think that clarifying "private law" and "public law" is itself the most important part of our next constitutional process. If you want to abolish personal dependence, you must free your personal rights and property rights. This is the primary condition for us to build a modern and modern social and economic system."

Yu Deli now understood everything, thinking no wonder he jumped out and took the initiative to propose a program. It turned out to be the plan.

You should know that the word "constitutionalism" has two meanings. The first is to guide the political system through the constitution in the general sense, while the second is to specifically refer to a certain political system, such as the separation of powers...

In fact, this is indeed Zhou Weiguo's open conspiracy. He hopes to draft the programmatic document for the founding of Beihai Town and add theories he agrees to, thereby establishing his position in the future political system. As long as the concept of civil rights spreads throughout the world, he will also be supported by countless people and become a legislator who can check and balance the power of the emperor.

"Xiao Zhou, have you finished speaking?"

"That's all for the time being, and the others have not been decided yet."

Yudley nodded, and he raised his hand to stop Liu Zheng who was about to speak, paused and said, "JFK has a saying, don't ask what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for the country. Westerners say that freedom is the basis of all other rights. Whether it is the individual rights principle represented by Locke or the overall rights principle represented by Rousseau, they are talking about rights. Whether it is the American Declaration of Independence or the French Declaration of Human Rights, they are talking about rights as soon as they come up, just like what you said, life, property, and freedom. Do you have no objection to what I say? "

Zhou Weiguo was a little confused about Deli’s thoughts, but he nodded and praised: “No. Lao Yu, you can do it, you know a lot.”

Liu Zheng also admired Deli in his heart, thinking that this person who quietly worked in Beihai Town for so many years of political education, really couldn't tell that he was actually a math teacher before.

"Okay, let's talk about the Chinese people's view of rights. Well, it may be inaccurate to say so. In our Chinese culture, whether it is Huang, Lao, Confucius and Mencius, they are all talking about responsibility. Taoism talks about moderation and gentleness, Confucianism talks about etiquette and righteousness. Confucius said, "The king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, the son, and the son." Everyone must bear their own responsibilities, and only the reputation can be correct. Mencius said, "the inner sage and the king" are responsible. Wang Zhong and others often say that self-cultivation, management of the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world is also responsibility. Even the emperor must do benevolent and political affairs to be responsible to heaven."

"I'm ashamed to say that I was not familiar with traditional culture before. Although I had read so many ancient documents, if I hadn't discussed it frequently with Wang Zhong and others over the years, I wouldn't have understood many things. Alas, in our era, the traditional culture was broken too much."

"The Book of Documents said that the eight-tone sounds are harmonious, and there is no way to seize the morality of Gods and men. Harmony is the highest pursuit of our national culture. With pursuit, we must talk about responsibility, so we talk about 'benevolence'. In order to reach the level of benevolence, Confucianism also talks about rituals. In my opinion, rituals are a list of responsibilities, which makes disorder into order, and can keep rituals forever, which is probably not far from benevolence."

"But the problem is that it is not enough to be polite, but you still have to have sincerity from the heart. I think Mencius said this most thoroughly. He said, "Sincerity is the way of heaven; sincerity is the way of man. Those who are sincere but do not move are not there; those who are not sincere are not able to move."

"In our culture, the requirements for personal quality and self-cultivation are too high, and it is difficult for most people to achieve it. Therefore, those former talents always sigh that the world is getting worse and worse, but people's hearts are not..."

Zhou Weiguo became more and more confused as he heard it. He couldn't help but say, "Lao Yu, what do you want to say? I really have no interest in Confucius and Mencius."

"Yeah." Yu Deli nodded slightly, raised his eyes and stared at Zhou Weiguo's eyes and said, "Xiao Zhou, is our culture really bad? Do you rather use Roman law and other Westerners ready-made things than find answers in traditional culture?"

Zhou Weiguoxin said, can you still speak well? After a long time of twists and turns, just to ask me this. He said angrily: "What should I find for the decayed and dregs? If there is an answer, it has been found in our history! In Chinese tradition, there has never been a strict personal responsibility, only obeying the slaves of obligations and abuse of rights irresponsible!"

"In our culture, it is not that we don't talk about rights, but that we must first talk about responsibility. These two are always one side, and gaining power is to bear greater responsibilities. Without responsibility, there is no way to talk about rights. This is essentially different from Western politics."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that the other party was not giving up, Yu Deli said decisively: "Chinese culture is a responsibility ethics system, and has never been a contractual right system. Chen Qingsong had been struggling with the legitimacy of the political system for a long time before. He asked me to say that he was just worried. As long as we fulfill our responsibilities, the people will definitely give us corresponding rights, and legality will naturally be there. As for the issues you mentioned, of course, we will have our own constitution and will definitely rule according to the constitution, but this does not mean that we have to engage in a constitutional government with the separation of powers! Even the goal of land reform has not been completed. I am talking about property rights. Who are you going to tell me?!"

"Old Yu, don't get me wrong, I..."

Seeing Zhou Weiguo suddenly become confused, Liu Zheng, who was beside him, gave a thumbs up secretly. This old man can speak one by one, and he was talking one by one. In fact, if he hadn't always remembered to follow the "organization" closely before, he would have been almost taken into the ditch by Zhou Weiguo's theory.

A drop of cold sweat emerged from Zhou Weiguo's forehead. Only then did he realize that Yu Deli had seen through his thoughts. Oh, after calculating for a long time, how could he forget about the land reform? To be steady, you must keep it steady! This time, if you don't have a chance in the future, don't be anxious.

Thinking of this, his face calmed down, and he smiled and said, "Oh, Lao Yu, I'm confused! Don't care, I have nothing else to mean."

Zhou Weiguo turned to look at Liu Zheng, but saw that the other party was also looking at him coldly, so he said, "Since that's the case, let's slightly modify the sixty items and not add any content. After dinner, I will change it and then show it to you two. How about it?"

Liu Zheng smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Old Zhou, don't get me wrong. Should we sit down and discuss if we have any questions? This matter is just not clear."

“Yes!”
