At the beginning of December of the third year of the Great Song Dynasty, Tianjin.

Although the Jiehe River has been frozen, the streets of Tianjin are still as bustling as ever. Tianjin citizens wore winter clothes made of wool or filled with cotton, and they were crowded in the streets. There are also many travelers and merchants from foreign countries, dressed in their national costumes, walking through the streets, looking from side to side. It is also a unique landscape in Tianjin.

Today's Tianjin is undoubtedly an open city, tolerant of all rivers and rivers. The city does not refuse any visitors from afar.

Merchants from the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Liao, the Grassland, the Jin Kingdom, Goryeo, Annam, Dali, Tubo, the Western Regions, the Nanyang, Tianzhu, and even the far-away Great Food, Persia, Sinai, and Rome are all looking for opportunities to make a fortune in this dreamlike metropolis located at the intersection of the Maritime Silk Road and the Land Silk Road. At the same time, they also brought their knowledge and skills with them.

By the way, there are many ways to encourage technological innovation and reward inventions, such as bonuses and patents (through guilds). At the same time, piracy is also encouraged to copy and plagiarize external proprietary technologies. For example, high prizes have been offered for foreign advanced technologies such as "glass" and "Uzi steel". Now there are some gains, and some glassmakers and blacksmiths from Tianzhu, Cairo, Persia, and Damascus have become new Tianjin people. It brought a more mature process of crucible ironmaking and the manufacture of glass by hand blowing tube.

In addition to merchants and craftsmen, scholars, samurai, monks, monks, and even politicians and aristocrats who took refuge all made it their second home.

Now Tianjin, there is a vague style of Chang'an City in the heyday of the Tang Empire.

Oh, in fact, in addition to the population of Chang'an, other aspects of Tianjin, such as handicraft production, business environment, transportation, legal system, academic research, etc., all far surpassed the Tang Imperial Capital.

From the perspective of civilization and progress, Tianjin, which is about to become the capital of the bourgeois republic, has already stood at the peak of China's 3,000-year history, and at the same time stands at the peak of the world!

Standing on the windowsill of the large study on the fourth floor of the Ruling Government (soon to be the Führer's Palace) building in the corner of Republic Square, Wu Haogu looked contentedly at the city he had created.

There were still a few people sitting in the study, He Tiantian, Zhang Zhifeng, Lu Renjia, three legal experts, and Zhao Jiaren, who had just arrived from Yanshan Mansion (he had been the prefect of Yanshan for a while).

"Govern, the draft of the new version of the Republican Constitution has been drafted as you wish. The overly specific items have been subsumed into such small laws as the Civil Code, the Criminal Law, the Citizenship Law, the Parliamentary Law, and the Official Affairs Law. The "Constitution" expounds on the reasons for abolishing the imperial system and implementing a republic in the form of an oath of covenant between the people, regulates the rights and responsibilities of the government of the republic, the citizens of the republic, and the common people of the republic, and especially highlights the concept of the government serving the people and the citizens serving the country......"

The person who is speaking is Zhang Zhifeng, who presided over the drafting of the Constitution. Although he can be regarded as an expert in the law, he has also participated in the legislative work of Youzhou. However, there is still no experience in drafting such a fundamental law as the Constitution, and even the concept is lacking.

So at the beginning, he followed the method of "Song Criminal Rule" and wanted to make an all-encompassing law. As a result, the first draft of the Constitution was very cumbersome, with many bits and pieces, like a hodgepodge.

However, with the revision of one edition after another, and the "Civil Code", "Criminal Law", "Citizenship Law", "Parliamentary Law", "Official Law" and other small laws began to be drafted one after another. Zhang Zhifeng, He Tianran and others' ideas are also getting clearer and clearer.

The so-called fundamental Dafa is not so much the Fa as it is the "covenant," "oath," and "treatise."

By the time of the latest version of the Republican Constitution, it was really quite presentable.

However, Wu Haogu seemed to be a little absent-minded today, he had been wandering around the window since the beginning of the meeting, and from time to time he would open the window and look out.

Downstairs outside the window, there is the Republic Square. Due to the rapid development of Tianjin North City in recent years, it is vaguely comparable to that of South City. Therefore, the Republic Square, located in the northernmost part of Tianjin South City, against the Jiehe River, has become a veritable city center.

A wide republican avenue passes through the republican square, and crosses the north and south cities of Tianjin, from the north gate of Tianjin North City Xuanwu Gate, all the way to the south gate of Tianjin South City Chongwen Gate. Because the road is wide and leads directly to the important place of Republic Square, the stagecoach of the Military Aircraft Division to deliver the news will generally enter the city from Xuanwu Gate or Chongwen Gate, and then go straight to Republic Square along Republic Street.

Wu Haogu pushed open the window from time to time to look out, obviously waiting for the stagecoach to send him some news.

But what important news will reach Tianjin recently?

Several people in the room were a little strange.

It's winter, the north has long been frozen for thousands of miles, and it's not the time for war at all.

And Kaifeng Mansion in the south is probably busy with the New Year's Festival now, right? There shouldn't be any big moves.

Could it be that Tao Jiefu, the old immortal, is still planning some conspiracy?

When a few people were wondering, a few healthy horses swept over the Republic Bridge (actually several pontoon bridges) and rushed into the empty Republic Square.

Xuanhua Mansion is a newly established mansion in the process of Yan and Liao sorting out the state capitals this time, located at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain, in the north of Yanshan Mansion. It is almost the area of Zhangjiakou City in later generations. It is the gateway of Yandi, and it is also an important town connecting the Xijing Road of Liaoguo.

Wu Chenglan, Wu Haogu's henchman who served as the defense envoy there, sent 600 miles of urgent cavalry today, and I don't know what is urgent?

……

There was a rush of footsteps, and then the voice of Wu Zhijie, one of the sons of Wu Chengjiu (Wu Haogu's follower in his early years, and now the head of Wujiakou Commercial Market), came.

"Ruling the government, the samurai mouth is urgent."

Samurai's mouth is in a hurry?

Could it be that the Empress Dowager Xiao of Khitan took the wrong medicine and sent troops to attack the dangerous pass of Wujiakou?

Several people in the room, except for Wu Haogu, were all confused.

"Come in!"

Wu Zhijie pushed the door and walked in, this is a young man who looks quite smart, he has just graduated from the Knight Academy, he didn't get out of the army, and went directly to Wu Haogu's side to be a jiyi.

He handed a wax-sealed envelope to Wu Haogu.

Wu Haogu took it, tore off the wax seal, took out the letter paper inside, first read it at a glance and ten lines, then read it carefully word by word, and finally laughed.

"Ruling the government, what happened?" Zhao Jiaren looked at Wu Haogu a little strangely.

Wu Haogu smiled: "Empress Dowager Xiao gave birth to a son!" ”

The Queen Mother gave birth to a son?

How does this sound so twisted?

Several people in the room looked at Wu Haogu in a daze.

Wu Haogu smiled and explained, "It's Yelu Yanxi's widow." ”

Posthumous ......

A few people are still strange, Yelu Yanxi has a posthumous son, why are you Wu Haogu so happy?

This thing is weird!

Wu Haogu also felt that he shouldn't be so happy, what was there to be happy about? Empress Dowager Xiao's son can't be surnamed Wu, and he helps Yelu Yanxi to inherit the lineage, like a living **......

Although this matter is a bit of a loss, Wu Haogu still misses Empress Dowager Xiao these days. She has a broad mind, and now that she has given birth to a child, she is afraid that she will be broader, right?

Well, coughing, Wu Haogu has become serious.

"Empress Dowager Xiao is going to go to Mandarin Duck to sit in winter," Wu Haogu said, "and I also want to meet with me in the Wujiakou Commercial Market to discuss the affairs of the three alliances." ”

It was not only Wu Haogu who was in a hurry to meet, but Empress Dowager Xiao also wanted Wu Haogu to see her illegitimate son as soon as possible.

At the same time, she still has a lot of troubles, and asks Wu Haogu for help.

During these days, her life as the queen mother is really difficult, and there are a lot of internal and external troubles. Inside, the Khitan nobles were not satisfied, and externally, there were three tribes of Jurchen, Menggu, and Kereh who raised troops to attack. Even the city of Linhuang Mansion in Beijing was broken by Wanyan Agu in the autumn!

As soon as the capital was lost, Empress Dowager Xiao faced great pressure from within the Liao State, so this time the reason for the Mandarin Duck Luo and his entourage was to gather troops to recover Linhuang Mansion in the spring of the next year!

"Three Alliances?" Zhao Jiaren asked, "Which three?" ”

"Of course, it's our Zhou Kingdom, Empress Dowager Xiao's Liao Kingdom, and the Great Song Dynasty in the south." Wu Hao Gu Dao, "Empress Dowager Xiao hopes to conclude an alliance of three families, and no longer attack each other in the future." ”

"Ruling the country," Zhao Jiaren frowned, "We still have an alliance with the Jin Kingdom......

Wu Haogu said: "The covenant between us and the Jin State only stipulates that we will jointly conquer Liao, and there is no provision that we shall not make peace alone.

Now the Liao people have withdrawn from the Yan land, the Han homeland in Liaodong, and also from the Jurchen territory. Both we and the Jurchens have established a state, and the purpose of the covenant has been achieved, so naturally it should be invalidated. ”

The covenants between Youzhou and Jurchen were drafted by legal experts, and of course they would not put too many rules and regulations on themselves.

Moreover, even if Wu Haogu betrayed the alliance. The Jurchens also have nothing to do with him, but the Zhou State is a violent Zhou who is happy when he hears the war, not a weak Song Dynasty. The Jurchens shrank in the bitter cold land of the north, and Wu Haogu may not have much to do with them. I really want to go south in a big way, and keep them until they are extinct!

Wu Haogu paused, "The new version of the "Constitution" is very good, you go to the senators to discuss, if everyone agrees, when I come back from Wujiabao, it will be passed in the senate." I won't be there for long, and I will definitely be back before Chinese New Year's Eve.

With the constitution, we can choose a date in the first month of next year to establish the Zhou State...... The name of the year is set as the republic, and it will not be easier in the future, next year will be the first year of the republic, and the future will be until the republican millennium, and the republic will be ten thousand years! ”
