1075 Chinese Government Structure

Xiao Letian had mixed feelings in his heart, he nodded and smiled at Matthew, "You Americans are really powerful, and the most acute questions against the Chinese people today are all raised by you! Your fearless sunrise spirit is really worth learning from! In contrast, the atmosphere in Asia is much more dull, and the twilight is ......."

The Ryukyu officials present were all blushing a little, and they knew their own affairs, and people who grew up with the ideology of Asian monarchs and ministers were born with a kind of obedience to power and a lack of resistance, but this is a cultural attribute that Xiao Lotian can never reverse by himself.

"Your question is very good, I can give you an answer! Throughout the history of human civilization, all civilizations that are relatively fair and relatively decentralized, their lifespans are very long, you ask who are the stars of longevity? Of course, these peoples!"

"The Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, including the ancient Roman Empire in Europe, although they were riddled with diseases when they existed, their lifespan was far longer than that of those barbarians who were centralized!"

When a nation chooses the idea of centralization, then the concentrated social resources must be released somewhere like a large amount of potential energy stored in a reservoir! Only in this way can we ensure that the dam will not burst!

"It's a pity that the medieval world is affected by geography and technology, and there will always be an end to wars, even if Genghis Khan's Mongolian iron cavalry swept through Europe and Asia, there will always be a time when conquest will not move, as for national investment, it is like Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty went to the Western Ocean, and the Age of Exploration in Europe can last for a while but not for a lifetime!"

"The truth is too simple, the history of mankind is a business economy! Investment must be rewarded, if there is no return on investment alone, then the final outcome of this investment will inevitably collapse!"

"Zheng He's initial investment in the business of going to the West is much more than that of Europe to start the Great Geographical Discovery, but it is a pity that Zheng He's business ended up being a loss-making business, and although the European Age of Discovery started low and the investment was small, it quickly saw the benefits, and the Europeans could continue to go on after seeing the profits, right?"

"Actually, isn't war an investment? Why do screaming soldiers fight? In fact, most of them are for profit, and when war becomes a loss-making business, then war will naturally not be able to continue!"

"There is always an end to centralization, because the resource wealth collected by centralization cannot make money forever, when the surrounding can grab almost everything, when the good deals that can be invested are full, then the wealth and resources collected by continuing to centralize can only be hoarded in the dam, and the accumulated potential energy is the future disaster!"

"Centralization will be 100% internal problems in the later stage, of course I know this, when the centralization can no longer be distributed to the people to drink the broth, the more wealth and resources are concentrated, the greater the hatred of the people, and finally the collapse from the inside out is inevitable!"

Xiao Lotian looked at Matthew calmly, "I know what you want to say, and I also know that you want to lead the topic there." There is no aristocracy in America, there is no hierarchy, where all nations are equal, at least the right to vote!"

"And the post-war economic recovery of the United States in the past few years has been really good, isn't it very comfortable to live a small life behind closed doors? So you think that absolute democracy and freedom are the right path, and the aristocratic citizen grading system and the model of elite rule chosen by Xiao Lotian are backward!"

"Dear Matthew, is that what you're trying to say?"

Matthew smiled and shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "That's right! That's what I think, of course, Mike and I agree on the same thing, we don't discriminate against those monarchies in the world, after all, is the mainstream of Europe still a monarchy! But I firmly believe that the trend of the future era is on our side, which is understandable!"

"So I hope that the Prime Minister will think carefully about my question, why not choose the more advanced?"

This great debate on the Chinese order will surely go down in history, and all the people present have forgotten time and space, and the people's spirits are all attracted to it, and they do not know that the clock has pointed to three o'clock in the afternoon, and they have forgotten to eat lunch.

In the corner of the main hall, there are several stenographers recording all the conversations, these are first-hand historical archives, which will be placed in the archives in the future for people to look at at at a hundred years from now, without the slightest mistake or omission.

Xiao Letian smiled, "Your question, I will answer it with three points, please pay attention carefully!"

"First, the elite rule of the Ryukyus is relatively centralized rather than absolutely centralized, and the political model of separation of knighthood has avoided the emergence of centralized kings, and the situation of the king raising his arms and calling for the people to obey in the Middle Ages will no longer appear in the Chinese people!"

"The Ryukyus have a system of upper and lower parliaments, and the Chinese parliament is the lower parliament, which can also be called the citizens' assembly, and the number of seats is not fixed but adjusted according to the size of the Chinese population and the amount of land under the rule, and the initial tentative number is 200 people. The main task is to respond to various issues of the private sector and summarize them, formulate preliminary bills, and submit them to the Upper Assembly for approval. ”

"And the lower council also has the right to review the Chinese, which means that anyone who wants to apply to become a Chinese must go through the final review of the lower council!"

"The Upper Council, which I call the Noble Council, the Little Council, has the power to legislate, the power to allocate finances, and the power to appoint and dismiss the nobles...... However, the issues of the upper parliament are subject to the supervision of the lower parliament, and the lower parliament has the power to veto three times. ”

"The spiritual leader of the country is the king, but the actual ruler is the prime minister. The prime minister's most important powers are domestic affairs, military, foreign affairs, intelligence, and has the power to wage war. But one of the most important powers of the citizens' assembly is to refute the right of war, which is a unique power that only the lower parliament has, and this is a powerful check on the centralization of power!"

"The centralization of power in the Chinese state is definitely not concentrated on a single person, but on a group of people, and a relative balance point is taken in the centralization and decentralization, taking into account the advantages between the two, this is the government structure I want!"

The crowd was again in the middle of a flurry of voices, especially those from the West, who were very sensitive to this kind of system, and soon a three-dimensional government structure map appeared in their minds, and Xiao Letian's power balance structure suddenly became clear.

Xiao Letian pressed everyone's discussion with his hand, "Don't ask questions first, wait until I finish speaking!" What I just said is the first point, and the second point is very important......

"I chose relative centralization, which is this mode of elite centralization, and it is also a decision made based on my judgment of the future international situation!"

"I think that in the next 100 years, the earth where human beings live will not become more peaceful, and I think the next 100 years of war will be the fate of human beings on the earth!"

"Ahh
