He threw the pen and paper aside, opened the document, and began editing.
"Lei Yan customary law is based on customs and not written laws…"
"Jury Law: Yan citizens aged 18 to 65, men and women who have not been deprived of the right to serve as jurors because of a crime or who cannot serve on a jury due to professional restrictions, may be selected as jurors…"
….
Article by article, the laws materialized in the document.
It was a colossal job, almost impossible for Chen Yang to build a legal system from scratch.
Fortunately, he had five major legal systems to reference, and he didn't need to create everything from scratch.
Many laws were simply copied.
In fact, most countries, when founded, base their laws on those of other already existing countries.
Although we say "reference", in fact, in most cases, it is simply copying.
Of course, when copying, one needs to consider whether these laws are suitable for one's own country.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
During this period, Chen Yang broadcast live every day at noon, 1pm and 7pm, traveling between the port, airport and Yan City.
In his free time, he dedicated himself to improving the texts of laws.
At first, he thought it would be easy, but by the second day he was starting to feel tired.
The workload was really heavy, and only with the help of the court assistant robot was he able to complete the drafting of all the laws.
Finally, on the thirteenth day, the laws of the Yan Guo Nation were officially promulgated.
There were 28 constitutional laws of a constitutional nature, 8 criminal laws, 25 civil laws...
A total of 799 laws!
When Chen Yang published the texts of the laws on the Yan Guo Nation's official website, he finally felt relieved. He had done it!
And soon after the enactment of the law, the familiar sound of the system sounded.
[Yan Guo's Law officially implemented, 500,000 citizenship points reward!]
Chen Yang was secretly happy, there was finally a supplement.
He purchased almost 10,000 robots, which cost almost a million citizenship points. Counting his other miscellaneous investments, the citizenship points were decreasing rapidly.
The sudden inflow of resources relieved some of the pressure on him.
He looked at the clock, it was almost noon.
He quickly prepared something to eat, and at 12pm, the live broadcast began.
Chen Yang took everyone to have a look at Yan City and the airport, then returned to the coast. Chen Yang got out of the car and said, "I have two things to announce today. Yan Guo's law and work visa have been officially implemented. Everyone can visit Yan Guo's official website for more information."
"Laws?"
"At this point, what laws matter? We just want them to open up job vacancies!"
"What a smart question! If a country doesn't even have laws, even if there are job positions, would you dare go to work?"
"Wow, so many laws?"
"More than seven hundred laws, left me in awe!"
"Jury, due process, procedural justice…that's very democratic!"
"And there is also voting, with a certain hybridity between the Commonwealth system and the Romano-Germanic system."
"So many laws like that, you didn't create them alone, right?"
"You're talking nonsense, human capacity has its limits, one person alone couldn't do so much."
"Probably a financial group helped him write them, but it's still very impressive, in just three days!"
Chen Yang smiled without speaking, guess what, keep guessing.
After the broadcast, news of Yan Guo's issuance of laws spread across the internet.
Groups from various countries consulted Yan Guo's law articles for the first time and gathered to study them.
In the conference room, Wu Pinyan's group had their heads pounding.
"Yan Guo's law appears to be based on the Anglo-American legal system."
"There are also elements of the continental legal system."
"Overall, it's still primarily the Anglo-American legal system, the jury system, free enterprise law, procedural justice…it seems to be the Anglo-American legal system."
"Judging from the articles of the law, Chen Yang wants to transform Yan Guo into a country with a relaxed, free and democratic social environment."
He had already set the tone from the beginning of the drafting of the constitution, it is not surprising.
"The consortium behind the Yan Guo Nation is really sparing no effort," said Wu Pinyan.
Evidently, he was not the only person who managed to define such detailed, complex and complete legal clauses in such a short time.
It is already a fact recognized by all countries that the Yan Guo Nation has a consortium behind it.
"It appears that this consortium intends to create a state in the image and likeness of the West," said someone.
"Based on this legal information, it is now possible to rule out the consortium from a socialist country," said another.
Since the Yan Guo Nation is controlled by a consortium, when setting the laws, they will certainly prioritize their own interests.
They are already accustomed to a certain legal system and, when defining it for the new country, they will only choose what is familiar and beneficial to them.
However, the laws of the Yan Guo Nation contain a large number of clauses based on the Anglo-American legal system, which goes against the interests of Japanese and Korean conglomerates.
On the other hand, conglomerates in Western countries are more accustomed and familiar with this type of law, having extensive experience with it.
Wu Pinyan shook his head and said, "Legal clauses alone don't mean anything."
One can only say that it is possible.
But directly denying conglomerates from outside Europe and America is a hasty and irresponsible assumption.
This assumption is not based on any evidence and is also logically flawed.
