Volume VIII, 1082 United Kingdom

Next chapter

The welfare income of the prince is not too high, the king eats 8,000 yuan, the prince eats 9,000, and the king eats 10,000! But the prince has a unique income, that is, the temple fee and the ceremonial fee.

The prince is very special in the Chinese order, because he represents the image of a kingdom, take the king of Shangtai as an example, his money is not only for his own enjoyment, he is also responsible for the sacrifice expenses of the Shangjia temple for five hundred years, as well as the cost of the etiquette of the national nobles, he must do a good job of representing the image of the kingdom.

Therefore, there are no three generations of decreasing princes, but there is a very big constraint on the king, that is, the king cannot directly interfere in politics. That is to say, other nobles can keep their aristocratic status while entering the government to do various practical jobs, and slowly work on their qualifications to do things.

But the prince doesn't even have this right anymore, it's enough for you to keep the prince and be a moral model, and the affairs of government administration have nothing to do with you.

The people present exchanged their heads one after another, saying in their hearts that the prime minister had weakened the royal power to this extent? Abolish the emperor's honorific title, and now that the royal power has been locked in a cage, is this a preparation for never being released?

But immediately after that, Xiao Letian's words shocked everyone present.

"Now that the South Pacific is centered on Tahiti, we have gained sovereignty over nearly 150 islands...... In the future, I will select meritorious people from among the princes and lords and seal the country in the South China Sea!"

Hiss...... The people present exclaimed, it turns out that the Chinese will not form a country in the end?

Xiao Lotian understood everyone's questions, and he nodded, "The final name of the founding of the Chinese nation should be the United Kingdom, and there will not be a single king who will rule the world of all Chinese people......"

"The North to the Far East, the South to Australia, and the Pacific Ocean to the East...... There are countless areas for us Chinese people to survive and survive, and what we need is the unity of language, writing and culture, which is the most important thing!"

"In my lifetime, I hope that there will be a United Kingdom in Asia with the Chinese as the main body, where everyone will sit together and consult with each other to form a country, and the power of foreign affairs, military power, and constitution-making power can be concentrated, but each small kingdom will also retain its own freedom......"

"Those regions that are united can make civil laws independently, they can do their own taxes, and they are completely responsible for the internal affairs...... Isn't that a good system? Why put all your eggs in one basket?"

"United Kingdom, as long as our military power, diplomatic power, fundamental constitution and language are consistent, this is the great harmony, and then we can pursue small differences in life!"

"Much the same, what our government ultimately pursues is just the same!"

At this point, the entire content of the Chinese decree has been thrown, and when people finally heard this mention of the United Kingdom, Sima Yun no longer listened to those noble benefits.

The welfare of the nobility is not only those special allowances, but also many unique hierarchical privileges, not to mention the complete free medical care and education of the family, the state provides housing, and the architectural pattern must also be divided into hierarchies, and some unique ornaments and decorations can only be used by the nobles.

In addition, during the ceremony, the commoner citizens had to bow to the nobles, which was also an honor. What's even more interesting is that the aristocracy will open some auctions from time to time, such as some forest farms in Alaska, beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean discovered by explorers, and even some thousand-year-old artifacts seized by the military.

These things will appear at the auction of the nobles, and the commoners are not entitled to participate in such auctions.

But this qiē is no longer important, and all people's minds are attracted by the word United Kingdom.

No matter what kind of name the United Kingdom has in front of it, it is all false, only these four words are true, and it can be said that this is the political structure closest to the Chinese in the nineteenth century.

First of all, the people's minds at that time still accepted the concept of hierarchy, the proletarian revolution did not sweep the world, the people accepted the hierarchical rule from the heart, the commoners saluted the aristocracy, and the nobles had certain privileges and did not arouse social resentment.

On the contrary, an effective promotion mechanism, so that everyone can clearly see the upward path, people know what they have to do to improve their status to that aristocratic class, this is the most important!

Kingdom is kingdom, you really have to make a completely equal system, abolishing the class, the Chinese will lose their direction and become confused.

If the kings do not recognize the union, the king of the east will have to rule the king of the west, and the king of the south will not obey the king of the north, then will society not return to the old road of centralization?

The Ryukyus, whose wisdom had gradually opened, had realized the dangers of a centralized state like the Qing Dynasty, because of that centralized system, the supreme ruler was likely to consciously suppress the increase in productivity for the sake of imperial power.

This is no joke, the Manchu emperors, for the sake of their own perpetuity, could make the manufacture of muskets illegal, and even in the Qing army, the use of crossbows was forbidden.

Because muskets and crossbows were the nemesis of cavalry, and they were the weapons of rebellion that the rulers feared very much.

We don't want centralized power, and an absolutely egalitarian society is not realistic, so the concept of the United Kingdom is also very good! Especially the current Britain, isn't it the United Kingdom? Look at how well people are doing it!

The absolute high-level people around Xiao Letian were already boiling and tumbling in their minds at the moment, "The Far East will be built sooner or later, and the volunteer army led by Long Ye is the prototype of the future Far East ** team...... There has been a wave of immigration from the Tahiti Islands, and that huge group of islands traversing the South Pacific Ocean will have no problem forming three or four archipelago kingdoms!"

"There is also the Iquique region of South America, which was originally a Chinese autonomous territory, but it is not impossible to become independent in the future!

Xiao Letian's Four Heavenly Kings think more farther, they are Xiao Letian's absolute cronies, they know more secret information, and they know Xiao Letian's layout in Nanyang very well.

What is the CIA doing in Brunei? Why are the rice bosses and cattle shopkeepers desperately buying land and expanding farms in the Cebu area? Are those lands really just for growing crops?

In the future, the most resource-rich region in Southeast Asia will definitely be independent from the hands of European colonizers, of course, the national sovereignty after independence cannot be handed over to the local indigenous people, where is there still room for indigenous monkeys under the orders of the Chinese.

Xiao Hexin's heart suddenly chuckled, "I understand, the prime minister is going to establish a Chinese United Kingdom around the Pacific! Great, really great, no wonder the prime minister has been investing all his military spending in the navy, no wonder the total number of land forces has been compressed, and the original root cause is here......

"But what about the mainland on the other side? Is the Great Qing Kingdom going to give up? The United Kingdom can't apply this kind of system to the mainland!"
