London, England

"Did you hear that?" A pedestrian on the street of London asked his friend who was walking in parallel.

"What?" My friend said suspiciously.

"A matter of the United Kingdom!" Said the pedestrian.

"Of course, we will have a queen in England in the future, what a surprise!" The friend sighed.

"Nonsense, I mean, in the future, we will be people of the same country with the Scots, and we will no longer fight!" The pedestrian said helplessly.

"It's great, that way, that war tax will definitely be less, it's a good thing!" Friends cheered a little, and for ordinary people like them, this was the best thing.

…………

Dublin, Ireland.

"Hey, I heard that we joined a kingdom, and there are two more kings on our heads, and one of them is still a queen!" One said.

"Yes! It's pretty new! Another sighed, "But what's the matter with us?" Isn't life still the same? ”

"That's what I'm talking about, what's the matter with us!"

The two smiled at each other and then parted.

Scotland, Parliament.

"You say, after joining the United Kingdom, what will we do with our parliament? What about the government? A nobleman and councillor asked with some concern.

"How else can you raise it? Send your family emblem to the heraldic office in London, and continue to be your own councillor! On the side, a chubby parliamentarian nobleman said indifferently.

"What are you worried about, the four major families have all moved to England, and they will naturally work in England in the future, what are we little nobles worried about?"

"That's right, the big nobles are not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry."

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of this, and for a moment, his mood improved a lot.

…………

Edward naturally couldn't care about the feelings of these people.

It's just a little fart, no matter how much it is to complain, it can't be eaten.

After the wedding, Edward didn't give the girl Mary some food, after all, she was too young and easy to hurt at all, so it was better to wait for two years!

After that, His Majesty the young King frequently met with nobles from England, Scotland, Wales and other places, thanking them for coming all the way to his wedding.

Then, he chose a few important nobles to chat with and strengthen the relationship.

The most important thing for him is that he wants to screen among the many nobles to see what talented nobles they have, and let them join the government.

The central government of the United Kingdom, of course.

The United Kingdom, in Edward's plan, has one central government and four local regional governments.

Four local regions, made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, serve as the four pillars of the United Kingdom.

The central government has the power to levy, diplomat, religious, coinage, and administrative.

The executive power of the central government has the power to appoint and dismiss officials at the county level and above them, and to exercise supervision.

The central government has a cabinet, and the prime minister is generally the president of the Privy Council of England, and has various ministers.

According to convention, the deputy minister is the regent of Scotland, who has no real rights and can only be counted as a spare tire.

In general, the coalition government could not interfere in the administration of the four major places, with the exception of England, of course.

It is well known that the centralization of power in England had already been completed, while the other three regions had not.

It is illegal to rashly interfere with the administration other than the power to appoint personnel.

As for the legislative power, there is the Supreme Joint Court.

Outside the central government, the Supreme Union Court was established to oversee and enact laws and regulations applicable throughout the United Kingdom, although the Supreme United Court was chosen from among the highest judges of the four regions.

His Majesty the King appoints and dismisses the Supreme Courts of the four regions, supervising and impeaching magistrates.

There are nine Supreme Co-Judges, who are selected and dismissed by His Majesty the King.

Then a joint council was set up, with a number of 400 members, assessed according to the population, and the population was large, accounting for a large proportion.

As a result, England, with a population of three million, occupies three hundred seats and leads the entire United Parliament.

It is customary for the Speaker of the House of Lords of England to hold this office, while the Vice-President of the Scottish Parliament is to hold the position.

Of course, this is also Edward's means of counterbalancing the central government of the United Kingdom.

The House of Lords was held by nobles and religious figures and was firmly under the control of the king.

If the President of the Privy Council of England and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom are obedient, then the Speaker of the House of Lords and the President of the United Parliament are his.

And if he is disobedient, then the Speaker of the House of Lords and the Joint Assembly will have no part in him, and the Coalition will vigorously rectify him, supervise and impeach him.

The Scottish aristocracy, on the other hand, was opposed to the distribution of seats in proportion to the population, and all this was suppressed by Edward.

Below the joint parliament are the four councils.

English Parliament, Scottish Parliament, Welsh Parliament, Irish Parliament.

The Scottish Parliament is controlled by the nobility, and as long as the Scottish nobility is controlled, it is not easy.

The Welsh and Irish parliaments, on the other hand, are under the control of the king.

The English Parliament is the most important, and at present, Edward has absolute control over the House of Lords, and the House of Commons must be in control.

In addition to this, Edward established the United Kingdom's Joint Heraldic Bureau.

Four heraldic bureaus were established in the other four regions, followed by joint heraldic offices.

The local heraldic bureau records the local squire, gentlemen, knights, nobles, and other classes, while the joint heraldic bureau only records the nobility.

That is, the Joint Heraldic Bureau only records the nobility of the baron and above, and ordinary people are no longer considered.

In other words, as long as you register with the Union Heraldic Office and record your family coat of arms and title, lineage, then your nobility will be recognized by the whole United Kingdom.

In addition to the heraldic bureau, Edward also made the mint independent.

Only the four regions are allowed to produce currency, and the top mint is responsible for issuing and setting up currency.

Moreover, Edward, in his own name and Mary's, announced that he would establish a central bank in the United Kingdom to oversee all financial industries in the United Kingdom.

Of course, as is customary, there are four tiers for the royal family, three tiers for the nobility and three tiers for the central government of the United Kingdom.

And the most important military power, Edward has also been busy.

Didn't the Parliament of England not allow the king to have an army of his own?

Edward, then, established the Royal Army and the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom.

On the land side, the United Kingdom Army Command Council was established to lead and direct all United Kingdom land forces, with the King as Speaker.

On the naval side, the United Kingdom Naval Command Council was established to lead and direct all United Kingdom navies, with the King as Speaker.

In terms of the salaries of the armed forces, an appropriation committee was set up, and half of the military expenditure was paid by the coalition government and the local government, and the appropriation committee was handed over to the appropriation committee.

The Presidents of the Regional Parliaments, the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom serve as members, with the King as Speaker.
