502 Federal Republic
Li Jiazhuang, War Department.
"The courts should be independent, so they can have their own opinions, and they can't have political parties like that, which will completely complicate their problems." Shang Wu said. Shang Wu and Jia Xu are designing their judicial system, and now they have a preliminary court, but the problem is that they don't have a procuratorate yet. Justice is under the control of a Ministry of Justice under the control of the Martial Forces.
The police system is also very chaotic, in Handan, it is the gendarmes who manage public order, of course, there are also police, the police are of a local nature, they are equivalent to security officers. Their main task is to be responsible for the security situation in a certain area. This will strengthen the governance of law and order.
Because yesterday, a very bad thing happened, a bank's cash truck was robbed. Fifteen gangsters, attacking with modified double-barreled muskets. Killing a guard and robbing two bags of banknotes is a very vicious case, but I want to solve such a case. It's difficult because there is too much traffic in Handan. More than 300,000 people have entered and exited Handan. Right. 300,000, the mayor of Handan excitedly told that the population of Handan has exceeded 800,000. I don't know where so many people popped up all at once. When the population is large, it also brings a great trouble, and this trouble is the complete disadvantage of the public security situation, in such a situation. There's really not much they can do.
"But we don't have that kind of talent. At the same time, this requires a lot of jurisprudence, and the people's interpretation of the judiciary is also very different, and the process of opening the judicial process is also very complicated, you know, the cost, many people would rather tolerate it, and they are not willing to go through the judicial process, and one of the important results is that the cost is too high, which is an extremely unfavorable situation for us, in such a situation, A lot of things that we do are actually going to be very unfavorable. Jia Xu said. Jia Xu understands some of Shangwu's ideas, but the problem is that they lack so many talents and habits, and the people are used to tolerating it, because the cost of the lawsuit is too high, and they think that their legal foundation cannot reach such a situation.
"It seems that we need universal justice, at least there should be professionals to explain and provide legal help, of course. Their employment fees need to be paid by themselves, and of course, the judicial department can also make the employment. "Shang Wu came up with his own solution, usually, if you go to justice, it will cost a certain amount, of course, there are some legal people who will provide judicial help, which will be of great help to their reputation, in such a situation, many of their things will actually go very smoothly. It's a demand for them, an exchange.
"Well, I agree with you, but our current justice is still very poor, and many places have local laws, because the local council has passed some bills, and we have laws on our side. What worries me is the issue of centralization. You know, His Majesty the Emperor of Luoyang is losing control of the localities, but we are also forming a problem with them in doing so, and how do we solve such problems, although we have formed economic ties with each other, but if there are other aspects of the price, for example, politics, and some of the dynamics of local officials, etc., these need to be done by us. Jia Xu put forward such a view.
In fact, Jia Xu does not agree with the management method, or rather, he does not approve of such a way because it is too lenient. Relaxed, Jia Xu is worried that there will be a loss of control in many places.
The IRA administered the localities, for the states, and then for the counties. It's an ideal way to manage it. and the political map. But actually. limited to the right to expand, as well as the state of one's own territory.
For example, the current IRA does not fully occupy a single state or county. Jizhou, they occupied a maximum of two-fifths. Shangdang County, occupied three-fifths. In the Hedong region, the sporadic sum is only four-sixths. Many areas are no longer under their de facto control. In such a situation, they can only set up a suitable political unit on their own in advance, and this unit is the state. How to manage. This is the conundrum, obviously, the merchants have their own administration, they have their own jurisdiction, and in order to encourage the merchants to develop the economy, they are first given greater freedom. The same is true for local governments, they need balance, and elections are the best way to do it, because they are advocating for the right to fairness. As a result, local governments have elected governors, and states, through some elections, have elected local governors. The election of local governors comes from the local government, and the appointment is only symbolic, which makes the local governor more urgent need to develop the local economy, because only the development of the local economy can bring benefits, can the local economy be developed at once, and only in this way can they have better development.
This is the martial management method, which gives the local economy a great deal of freedom, so that the local economy can be adjusted adaptively, which is a huge favorable development condition for local economic development. For example, if more than 100 jobs can be provided, a 10% tax exemption will be given, and if more than 1,000 people can be provided, an 80% discount will be reached. Because they find that the tax provided by these companies is much higher than the personal income tax, and they will also give certain arrangements for the position of the councilor.
Therefore, the development of the local economy is very fast, because many people have benefited, such a situation has made the economic development of the Republican Army very good, but Jia Xu saw the problem, although the local military power was taken away. The matter of conscription was handed over to the War Department to manage, and at the same time, the local militia was also handed over to the Military District, and the War Department issued combat orders. Localities don't have military power, they don't have diplomatic power, but an overly liberal economy can affect their right to speak, and that right is that if the states were independent, it would be very troublesome. Although governors serve very limited terms, most of them are four years. But how did he really encounter the same problem as Emperor Luoyang, which made it difficult for Shangwu to manage.
"So, we need ideas, but we should first establish a Federal Law." Shang Wu said with a smile that he understood Jia Xu's worries very well. After all, it's good that the government does this, and they want to intervene in the local economy in particular, but Shangwu is very hands-off. Such a difference naturally caused Jia Xu to worry.
"Federal law?" Jia Xu asked Shangwu.
"This is to prepare for our next expansion, we want to establish different large and small federal states, we use, federalism, in this way, the local has a certain right of economic freedom, the right of law and order, this is to mobilize their enthusiasm, if we deprive these all, their economic development will be very unfavorable, they should actively develop the advantages of the region, for example, some mountains are more, but rich in mineral resources, some are plains, they can develop agriculture, in this way, give full play to their advantages, Naturally, it developed. That's their strength, and that's what we're using to get their advantage. Shang Wu said.
"That's exactly what happened." Jia Xu said.
"But on a larger macro level, we're a whole, yes, we're really a whole, because we're doing a lot of things pretty well." Shang Wu said.
"We need a strong army, tax revenues, and a sound diplomatic strategy. In that case, we need to form a federal government. The IRA is the federal government, which we can call a federal republic. In this way, we can bring more places into our territory, and we are attracting them to join us and integrate local people into our economic activities. At the same time, we need to be careful that we are not opposed to them forming local economic characteristics, leaders, because some economic sectors need to do this, but we also need to guard against their excessive control of the local economy, therefore, we need to build a developed infrastructure, such as roads, railways, and various modes of transportation. Shang Wu said.
Jia Xu knew about the existence of railways, because there were already such things in many coal areas, although most of them were driven by human and animal power, but this was extremely convenient, and this seemed to be a future development trend, and railways appeared there.
"Well, you moved me, although such a system has never been, it is very bold and innovative, but as it stands, we are not yet able to form a federal republic." Jia Xu said helplessly.
"Yes, if we openly set up such a state, it means that a large army will encircle us. This is a huge pressure for us, and we do not yet have the strength to engage in open confrontation. Shang Wu said. The war will completely defeat the Republican base base.
"So, we have to develop the economy even more, and it seems that federalism is very much in line with us." Jia Xu said.
"It's a road we've made ourselves, whether we can go on or not, how far we can go, to be honest, I don't know how much information there is. But I'm sure we'll get on with it. Shang Wu said.
