"Commander, there's something I'm not sure whether I should say or not!" Cheng Xiao waited for Pan Han to finish thinking before asking softly.
"Go ahead."
"The base is currently developing too quickly, and the system can't keep up. This is why people are taking advantage of loopholes. If the system had kept up, some of these incidents could have been avoided."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
"I have formulated some regulations before, but I have been busy and have no time to improve them. I want to take some time to quietly improve the rules." Cheng Xiao is different from Pan Han. She is at the base all the time and must have a better understanding of the specific situation.
Moreover, she truly regards the base as her own home and cannot tolerate anything that hinders the development of the base.
Since she said there are institutional problems, then there must be.
"We talked about this issue before, but I was too busy, so I didn't ask about it later." Pan Han said with some self-blame.
"Many aspects of our current military merit system, promotion system, material distribution system, daily points system, and judicial system need to be adjusted and refined." Cheng Xiao took out a small notebook from his pocket, which was filled with dense writing.
Pan Han took the small notebook and looked through it carefully. It could be said that he had read every detail.
Cheng Xiao definitely put her heart into it.
"Thank you for your hard work." Pan Han closed the notebook and handed it back to her.
"It's not easy. It's rare to hear you say something caring." Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and acted a little coquettishly.
"It seems that I was too simple-minded. Now that the base is big, it is no longer possible to rely solely on people to manage it. The system must keep up." When Pan Han was in college and working, he never understood why there were so many rules and regulations.
Now he understood.
Every rule is earned at a cost.
At this time, Cheng Xiao moved to Pan Han's side, put her arm around him, and said, "I've discussed these things with Boss Qin and the others before. Actually, they are confused sometimes. Everyone wants the base to develop well, but they do waver between human feelings and legal principles. Once we set the rules and everyone follows them, it will be easier."
"Hahaha! Do you think I can't understand what you mean?" Pan Han scratched Cheng Xiao's nose.
This little girl was pleading for Qin Zhong and the others in another way.
"That's not nonsense! After all, Qin Zhong and the others are my family. What will happen if I don't say a few words for them?" Cheng Xiao suddenly pinched Pan Han's arm, straightened his chest and raised his head, and said righteously.
"I understand. You don't have to be nervous. When dealing with the members of the Dawn Team, we still have to stick to the idea of curing illnesses and saving lives." Pan Han said with a smile.
"Look at how harsh your words are. We are all the people who fought with you to conquer the world. Even if we have no credit, we have worked hard. Now it seems like everyone is a termite of the base. You still want to cure diseases and save lives, huh!" Cheng Xiao turned her head and ignored Pan Han.
Pan Han smiled slightly and did not explain immediately.
He just lamented that a good man could not be a good emperor, as he was surrounded by people begging for mercy.
But, is Cheng Xiao wrong?
It seems to be right!
She and Qin Zhong had been through life and death together for so many years. If she didn't even say a word of pleading, would she still be considered a human being? If Qin Zhong's people really had to be punished, Cheng Xiao would definitely stand up and be punished along with them.
This is human nature and it cannot be changed by Pan Han's will.
"Then tell me, how should this matter be handled?" Pan Han twisted Cheng Xiao's face and stroked it.
"The monk is dead and cannot be resurrected, but it is recommended that his case be dealt with seriously and additional penalties be imposed to set the record straight. As for the others, it is recommended that all of them return the stolen goods. Those who return them within the specified time will be forgiven, otherwise they will be severely punished." Cheng Xiao blurted out without thinking.
"What about Wang Xiong?" Pan Han saw Cheng Xiao looking thoughtful and knew that she had already had an idea.
"The murderer must pay with his life." Cheng Xiao said cheerfully.
"That's not right. Strictly speaking, he is also a victim. And he is a victim of the irregular system of the base. It is not in line with the principle of proportionality to let him bear all the responsibility alone." Pan Han immediately retorted.
"What is the principle of proportionality?" Cheng Xiao was confused. She had never heard of this term.
"Simply put, people should not be punished severely for minor crimes," Pan Han explained.
This is one of the legal principles in his world, emphasizing that crime, responsibility and punishment must be unified and consistent, and it is also one of the requirements for public power.
"Oh, I see. But in the situation at our base, there's no other punishment except the death penalty. Are we going to put him in jail? Wouldn't that be like raising a useless person?" Cheng Xiao's mind was indeed quick, and he immediately started a debate with Pan Han.
"Yes, that's true." Pan Han had to admit it.
In his world, there are many types of imprisonment, and even life imprisonment can be imposed, depriving a person of his freedom forever.
But in the last days, freedom is worthless!
If people are locked up and given food, many people might even look forward to being locked up.
Laws belong to the superstructure, and the most taboo is for them to be divorced from actual conditions and productivity.
The same goes for justice. In the last days, feeding people is the greatest justice.
"Then let's exile him!" Pan Han thought for a long time and found that the base was only suitable for two types of punishments.
Death penalty and exile.
Even corporal punishments such as beating with a stick or spanking are not applicable.
Being injured or disabled will affect work and waste food.
The monetary and wage system has not yet been implemented. If there is a wage system, a penalty system can be adopted.
But these are all matters for the future and will not solve Wang Xiong’s current problem.
"Exile? Commander, this is too dangerous. He knows a lot about our base. If he wants to harm the base in the future, it will be equivalent to us gaining a powerful enemy." Cheng Xiao shook his head and disagreed at all.
Although Pan Han didn't want to admit it, Cheng Xiao was right.
He couldn't take that risk, and neither could Dawn Base.
Damn, I’m in a dilemma!
Pan Han has a big head!
He felt that it was unfair to execute Wang Xiong, but he had no other choice.
A good man cannot be a good emperor!
"Commander, please think twice! It's not time for us to do that yet!" Cheng Xiao saw that Pan Han was hesitant and continued to dissuade him.
As a leader, you can do bad things, but you must never do the wrong thing!
If someone makes a mistake, everyone will be punished.
…
After a long pause, Pan Han finally raised his head. "Monk Wei is found guilty. His head will be hung at the main gate of the base for fifteen days as a warning to others. Wang Xiong, you must pay with your life for your murder. You are sentenced to death and will be executed immediately."
"Yes, Commander." Cheng Xiao immediately stood up and accepted the order.
"In addition, you will be able to improve various systems. At the same time, a Censorate will be established, and you will be the president. You will supervise all officials and ensure the advancement of various systems." Pan Han continued.
"Yes, Commander." Cheng Xiao straightened his chest and raised his head, saluting.
"Go and make the arrangements. I won't get involved in the rest of the matter. I have some things to do at home, so I need to go back for a few days."
"Ah? Leaving again?"
"Yeah. Something's up. Oh, and you need to help me find a weapons expert."
"Oh? Commander, are you planning to make your own equipment?"
"Well, it seems we can only rely on ourselves for the Air Force. You can ask Asiba to help you find it."
"Yes, Commander."
"Okay, stop pushing. If you push any further, your bra will burst."
