During the Spring Festival of the forty-fifth year of orthodoxy, Zhu Jianshen spent a hot New Year in the Golden City.

The time here is three hours later than Daming, and Zhu Zhanji delivered a New Year's speech at noon on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the people of Daming around the world.

Whether it is Zhongzhou, Dongzhou, or Xizhou, as well as the various overseas islands and colonies of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there are conditions, they all heard Zhu Zhanji's speech for the first time in front of the radio and loudspeaker.

In his speech, Zhu Zhanji emphasized the legitimacy of the Ming royal family to rule around the world, expounded the efforts made by the royal family to improve the living standards of the people, and made a clear plan for the development plan of the Ming Dynasty in the new year.

In addition, Zhu Zhanji also announced in this speech that he would hold a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty on the New Year of next year, that is, the New Year of the 46th year of orthodoxy.

At that time, the Ming clans and nobles from all over the world will gather in Yingtianfu to congratulate this centennial celebration.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's founding of the Ming Dynasty, he reigned for thirty-one years, Zhu Yunwen reigned for four years, Zhu Di reigned for twenty years, and he reigned for forty-five years, which happened to be a hundred years.

However, because the year of the founding of the country is counted as one year, it will not be until the 46th year of the new year that the real centenary will be celebrated.

Zhu Jianshen was accompanied by the soldiers of the Golden City and listened to Zhu Zhanji's speech in the barracks.

They had already gotten up before dawn, and tens of thousands of people gathered in the main square to listen to Zhu Zhanji's speech on dozens of loudspeakers.

Zhu Zhanji's speech lasted for half an hour, and at the end of the speech, the sun was just rising.

Tens of thousands of people cheered in unison, although most of them had never been able to meet the emperor, but they were still excited to hear His Majesty the emperor greet them in person on the radio.

Especially at the beginning, Zhu Zhanji, like the leaders of later generations, extended cordial greetings to the soldiers from all over the Ming Dynasty, and also mentioned the soldiers of the Golden City in the middle.

This made everyone excited, although they were in Xizhou, which was thousands of miles away from Yingtianfu, they could still feel that their hearts were in Zhongzhou.

When Zhu Jianshen saw the scene in front of him, his heart was also boiling. Although His Royal Highness came in person, it didn't seem to be as good as His Majesty's greetings on the radio, but he was not jealous, only a sense of honor.

"Master Peng, why do you think the Imperial Ancestor has such prestige? What is the basis of his prestige? ”

Peng Shi pondered for a moment and said affirmatively: "Your Highness, this is because of the system!" ”

Zhu Jianshen also pondered, raised his head for a while and said, "Yes, this is the power of the system!" ”

What is the most important thing for a vast empire to maintain its rule?

Powerful force? The rule of the Qingming officials? Or an active economy? Advanced technology?

These four points are very important, but they are not the most important.

The most important thing should be a complete set of systems, each in its own place, each performing its own duties. From top to bottom, everyone knows where they are and what their role is.

An emperor, no matter how majestic and strategic, is a man.

His orders need to be carried out, his will needs to be fulfilled, and his dignity needs to be maintained.

Only with such a well-established and effective system can the country function properly.

Ancient people often said that it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to sit on the country, but in fact, it is because ancient people often did not know the importance of this system.

They will only manage in the simplest way, pressure from top to bottom, and use force to assert their authority.

This model is very backward.

The role of the individual in this system is very huge. It may be that a wise monarch can take off the country, but a mediocre monarch can make the country perish.

Especially at the ministerial level, a powerful minister may deceive his superiors and subordinates and undermine the stability of the entire system.

Therefore, they think that it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to sit on the country.

However, Zhu Zhanji is not a person of this era, and he is well aware of the importance of the system, which is more important than the armed force, the rule of officials, the economy, and science and technology.

A well-established system can limit the individual role of each person, and at the same time give full play to the individual role of each person.

Let everyone become a part of the system, form a force that cannot be resolved by individuals, and form an unstoppable trend.

The professionalization of ministers is their basic ability, so that everyone can clearly know what they will do after becoming an official.

When the system is perfected, it can spontaneously limit the power of officials, so that they can only function within the framework.

A eunuch can cut off the emperor's ears and eyes, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

A minister can replace the role of the emperor, and he dare not obey an order.

This is the flaw of the system.

Today's Ming Dynasty, the separation of powers, the power of law, the power of legislation, and the military power are separated, even if they achieve the apex within their own scope, they cannot extend their power beyond the scope.

Just like the prime minister today, he only has the power to govern, and he has no power to legislate, no power to enforce the law, and no power to lead the army.

At such a time, there is a limit to what a prime minister can do.

Internally, his power was squeezed by the chiefs of the ministries, and externally, by the parliament, by the secretariat, by the emperor.

His power can only be embodied in civil affairs, and if other affairs are resisted by others once they reach out, then their power can only be manifested within the scope of the rules.

The same goes for everyone else.

In the case of Sunan, the governor of the Golden City, although his subordinates control 60,000 elite soldiers, his power can only be reflected within the scope of the Golden City.

As the military governor of the Golden City, he could not interfere in the production of gold mines, nor could he interfere in the operation of gold mines, and if he reached out, he would touch the power of the local government, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which were not part of the same system, and he would be impeached.

In the past, a local governor could be said to be single-handed, and he could manage everything and everything, which was the imperfection of the system.

Any power must be constrained, and absolute power will lead to absolute corruption, and more importantly, it will lead to an imbalance in the system.

Zhu Zhanji spent 40 years perfecting the entire Ming management system, which was his greatest contribution.

At this point, the only power that has not been curtailed is the imperial power.

Of course, he will not engage in any constitutional monarchy to limit his power, and in this day and age, it is simply not mature to engage in any constitutional monarchy.

The so-called system refers to the political and ruling form of the state, that is, the form in which the national political system operates.

Different political systems are compatible with the national system, and rash changes in the system under different historical conditions, under different class forces, and other specific circumstances, will only cause social turmoil.

Just like now, if Zhu Zhanji really restricts the imperial power, then there is a lack of a decisive role, and various departments will only fight for this power.

Is this a good thing? Of course not!

Don't talk about democracy and equality, it's just a bait given by Western society in order to fool the people at the bottom.

Even in the future of the 21st century, true equality remains a distant dream.

Moreover, in many so-called dictatorships, the life of the people is much better than in "free, democratic" countries.

In this day and age, equality will only throw your country into a mess.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji also asked the three religions and the Shinrikyo to come up with a class theory.

Society must have classes, so that the upper and lower levels can find their own place.

It is important not to cut off the passage between the different classes, so that the people at the bottom can see that they want to come up, and the incompetent upper class can also go down.

In the past, Zhu Jianshen had been trapped in the bureau, and he never got out of the matter, and confirmed the facts from the perspective of a bystander.

Or rather, he never really felt the embodiment of this power from the big picture.

However, this voyage of tens of thousands of miles, in Dongzhou, in Xizhou, I saw these soldiers who had left their homeland for tens of thousands of miles, although they had taken root tens of thousands of miles away, they still respected His Majesty Ying Tianfu, which fully reflected the strength of the system.

Of course, Zhu Jianshen is not negligent, outside the system, there is also cultural influence.

Because of the humanistic righteousness of the Confucian culture, everyone is maintaining their own cultural traditions and cannot be destroyed by anyone.

When he first arrived in Xizhou, he was still a little timid to directly face the rapidly expanding Han Wangfu, but now, he was not afraid at all.

"Your Highness, in Your Majesty's New Year's speech, there are several key parts, you need to think about them, these words are related to the changes in the Ming Dynasty in the coming year, you must be aware of them."

As the heir of the country, Zhu Jianshen is certainly no stranger to some sensitive words. Many words that sound ordinary to ordinary people actually hide very complex relationships and the determination of the upper echelons.

"Let the paperwork sort it out first, and I'll look at it later. Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, first go to the various military guards to make an inspection, bring silver coins, and go to the homes of ordinary sergeants today to have a look and rejoice with the people. ”

Hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Peng Shi laughed. In the past, in Yingtianfu, the grandson was still ungrounded, but this two-year tour made him more and more mature.

In Hanzhou City, Zhu Jianzhu also listened to Zhu Zhanji's speech in front of the radio, and then fell into deep thought.

As a prince who wanted to wrestle with the imperial court, from the time Xie Yun came to Xizhou, he felt that the rope of the imperial court on the Han Wangfu and the Jin Wangfu was getting tighter and tighter.

But he had no choice, whether it was in terms of righteousness, reason, or strength, he had no power to fight back.

What worries him even more is that even his own personal guards, although they are still trustworthy to give him the Han Palace, but if the Han Palace, when they stand on the opposite side of the imperial court, they may not be trustworthy.

Nowadays, radio has become the favorite program of ordinary people in Xizhou, and in major cities, the best goods sold are expensive radios.

Every day when there is nothing to do, everyone holds a radio and listens to the radio announcing the policies of the imperial court, listening to the customs of various places, and listening to various dramas.

Although most ordinary people do not pay attention to the policies of the imperial court, the uninterrupted broadcast every day allows ordinary people to understand the attitude of the imperial court on various major matters.

At such a time, if their Han Wangfu wanted to oppose the imperial court, they would not be able to get the support of ordinary people at all.

Everyone knows that His Majesty the Emperor thinks about every common man, and he does his best to make the people of the Ming Dynasty rich.

Even if there is some injustice, it is also the officials below who bully others.

In today's broadcast, His Majesty Chrysostom said that the Ming Dynasty should reduce agricultural taxes, reduce the burden on the people, and allow the people to exchange silver money for exemption from labor.

Moreover, the imperial court did not allow the public sharing of labor quotas, and once verified, the relevant officials were dismissed and demoted.

Some infrastructure construction, which requires the use of labor, has now been converted into a project of the Ministry of Industry, and the engineering corps of the Ministry of National Defense is responsible for the construction.

In this way, if the Han Wangfu wants to use labor to work for the Han Wangfu again this year, it will cost money.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to directly knock down those signal towers that could receive signals.

In the past, the Han Wangfu could let ordinary people do some work at will, and there was no need to pay money. Nowadays, labor cannot be levied at will, and the expenditure of the Han Wangfu will be much more in the future.

It's all the fault of these broadcasts, so that the common people can directly know the policies of the imperial court, how can they be deceived in the future?

Things are not going well......

What's more important is that the people's hearts are not on the side of the Han Wangfu at all, he just pulled several other palaces over, but they don't have soldiers in their hands, how much wind and waves can they make!

"Han Changshi, what has Taisun done in the Golden City these days?"

"Lord Wang, these news don't dare to be reported through the telegraph bureau at all, and you can only know through the news on the Xizhou Daily that he has been in the army recently. …… It's not good! ”

"I don't believe that our Han Wangfu didn't do it, and the imperial court really dared to send troops. I'm afraid that Taisun is also putting pressure on us, and after fifteen, he will come to Hanzhou City, and I will ask him what he wants to do! ”

Having said that, Han Cong could already see that he was a little nervous.

Sighing inwardly, Han Cong was also thinking about his future future. From the wireless telegraph and extensive transmission of the imperial court to Xizhou, the original Han Wangfu could still rely on the high emperor to be far away, and it was a faction of its own in Xizhou.

But now even the people of Xizhou can hear the news from Zhongzhou every day, what policies does the imperial court have, and the ordinary people and the palace can know at the same time, how can they still rely on deception to carry the people?

So from that time on, the Han Wangfu had lost its original prestige.

If they conform to the imperial court, they can still have a way to live, and they still think that they will be as high as before, it will not work.

Han Cong thought carefully about what he had done over the years, although he had made a lot of plans for the Han Palace, but he himself had not done anything wrong.

If the prince still can't see the situation clearly, he can only turn against him.

Anyway, he has accumulated a lot of money over the years, whether he is going back to Zhongzhou, or buying a big manor in Nanyang, and living a leisurely life behind closed doors, there is no pressure on him.

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.
