Chapter 409 Being a prime minister or president is not as good as the president—3

And now in this kind of opera, the common people have an in-depth understanding of the bureaucratic system that is about to be promoted, similar to that of a primary school student. It is undeniable that they were a little surprised when the operators they were familiar with, their partners, and even their own sons and nephews who were working abroad became court officials in this way.

However, in their inherent impression, the technicians who will go to the fields to instruct them on how to grow high-yield crops are still as harmonious as before, in fact, even when it comes to the current time of change, they do not see a strange look on the faces of the technicians, if they have to say that there is, it is the joy after the salary increase.

Although the peasants were the most dissatisfied with the wage increase for their group, because it would mean inflation that would dilute their already small savings, the price of agricultural products in the market gradually fell. This puts their sources of income even more restricted, yet unpretentious people are still more likely to be happy with the people close to them. So the group of fellows chatted with the common people in the fields about some things in the court.

"I heard that the prince will sit on the throne again soon after. The enthronement ceremony is ready, but those old ministers of the Han Dynasty are unwilling to accept the constitutional monarchy proposed by the president. ”

The technicians relied on their close relationship with the people to bring them more information about the imperial court, and at the same time, they were also actively striving for their recognition and support, which is what Suning has done on another front of public opinion.

There are many people who only care about the active ingredients and ignore the existence of the main ingredients, so such regimes will only choose favorable words from the elite and stuff them into their ears, and actively make corresponding policy adjustments. You call it benevolent government, to flaunt your political virtues. Unfortunately, it is not the intellectual elite around them who really need them to exercise benevolent government, but the ordinary people who still face the loess with their backs to the sky.

Therefore, it is better to tout democracy than to let the people get universal benefits, although such an idea is suspected of populism, but it is undeniable. If you can't even do populism, what kind of democracy can you talk about? Because the common people need a good enough education, so that they know the true meaning of democracy and the specific rules of operation, and with a good education, first of all, there needs to be enough material security. Therefore, in Suning's system, there is no liberal democracy similar to that of the West, and there is also an extreme lack of the more common democracy of a few people in later generations, the kind of democracy similar to primitive democracy, which is a bit backward for a regime in the information age.

Of course, in the current retail system of Suning, there are also one or two areas that will implement the so-called Western-style electoral democracy, such as some relatively wealthy and early developed states and counties. Such a policy will be introduced, on the premise that all candidates for the election positions, especially important positions such as the number one, must submit a detailed program before the election, he must have a detailed plan for the future work, and give objective goals, and the people will choose the appropriate administrative leader according to his plan and goals.

But unlike Western elections, all the political goals given by these people will be strictly supervised from the base camp in Liangzhou, if someone does not carry out his campaign goals after being elected, then he will not sit on the throne of power unharmed like those elected in the West, but will be sent to the dock of trial by the Imperial Historical Observatory, and once convicted, he will face one of the strictest charges of the two systems, the crime of seeking power by political fraud.

The initial sentence for this crime is 20 years in prison, plus 10 years of hard labor, and the sentence cannot be reduced in the event of a pardon. And the probability of this special situation is very low, because it requires Suning's personal authorization.

And Suning, after becoming president, also seems to have been influenced by some of the constitutional monarchy. Today's trivial administrative affairs, he will leave them to the government hall to deal with. Now he seems to be more like a constitutional monarch, except for some major policies willing to come up with some ideas, he will not worry about superfluous things.

However, he still understands the truth that only names and instruments cannot be dummies. Therefore, he is probably still willing to pay attention to such major issues as personnel rights and fiscal, taxation, and military powers.

Thus there were several special plans for this punishment, after all, most of the people who were able to stir up trouble in the local area had some ability, and if this group of people was only greedy for a moment, then they could consider turning their talents into great benefits for the empire at the right time.

In fact, this kind of severe crackdown is not a trampling on the so-called liberal democracy in the West, but a powerful guarantee of true democracy. Therefore, against those who already have power, it is necessary to put a shackle on them, and power should be kept in a cage, as some red regimes believe.

But the power in the cage also needs to have his vitality. Therefore, Suning is willing to try all kinds of systems in order to ensure that the people under his rule can find the most suitable ones from the rich ones. When their education level reaches a certain level, perhaps they will be able to choose the right person for themselves from among the thousands of garden tricksters.

But that's for later. In this case, the office of president will never be elected. Although it has not yet been determined whether its inheritance will be hereditary or some other system, it is undeniable that the power that can be held in this position is too great, and many of the things he has to face are not suitable for publicity, so there are not many people who can really understand this position, and in this case, the probability of being able to pick out suitable candidates has become even smaller.

I heard that the vast majority of unpretentious farmers do not feel that they have so much power to influence the choice of president. At least until the next generation grows up, this consciousness will still be the mainstream of them, and the existing consciousness that they cannot be denied the right to vote because they are not educated enough, then when they also have the right to vote, it is not appropriate for them to be involved in too many high-level reasons, because it is irresponsible to the development trend of the empire.

And even after the next generation grows up, Suning feels that his foresight as a traverser can continue to lead them forward to a large extent, as for whether his children can be like himself, it is difficult to say.

But that's probably a long time later. Like himself, the founder of the country, who has already grasped great power at a young age, may not have much chance of passing on the throne to his son, but should focus on cultivating the best among his grandchildren.

Therefore, on the issue of heirs, he still has decades to carefully ponder and formulate the corresponding norms. Even in the Magna Carta, which he had prepared, did not provide for this.

This side is ready, and the big victory is used to sign for the future emperor Liu Wei. Just look at his preview on this, and the Han Dynasty will henceforth be transformed into a constitutional monarchy.

Of course. Something similar was happening in Cao Cao's sphere of influence east of Luoyang, but Cao Cao didn't have the heart to find another name for such a political system. Based on the original bureaucratic framework, he set up a team structure that belonged to the ministers.

However, Suning has always believed that only the system stipulated in the constitution can be maintained for a longer time, otherwise, even if today's ministers can become tomorrow's emperor, he may be replaced by the circle of the day after tomorrow. Therefore, even if he wants to pass on this country to future generations, Suning believes that he should establish a good enough system for future generations.

It is this kind of thinking that exists in the hearts of every founding monarch, for example, Qin Shi Huang once carefully designed many systems, and thought that such a system could ensure the inheritance of his design, and everything was unnoticed, but what he did not expect was that soon after he drove to the west, his Great Qin Empire II died. The same was true of the later Sui Dynasty, and even to some extent, the Yuan Dynasty after the centuries-long division of the Two Song Dynasty. Caught in this situation.

To a certain extent, the inheritance of the basic territory of the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties is thanks to the fruitful military operations of the Yuan Dynasty.

Because it laid the basic territorial scope of modern China for five or six hundred years.

The later Manchu Qing Dynasty, also on its basis, tried to expand a larger territory to the west, although it did not reach the farthest frontier of the Tang Dynasty, but it is undeniable that the territory captured by the Qing Dynasty in the early period allowed them to bear many later disasters with huge strategic depth.

As for the land occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which he added glory to Chinese civilization, it is basically nonsense, because it occupies every inch of land and has belonged to Chinese civilization in history.

For a powerful civilization that borders the Pacific Ocean and has sent Guo Shoujing and others to operate near the Arctic Ocean, and by the way, almost has an outlet to the Indian Ocean in the direction of Myanmar. The little territorial contribution of the Manchus is really not flattering, but the suffering brought to this civilization by their conservative policies will be remembered and spurned by future generations, and will not end until the sun falls. Because the corresponding written records and evaluations will be passed down forever.

Therefore, a broad vision is also extremely important for the inheritance of children, so the only restriction for inheritors in the Magna Carta is to require them to take an exam, which is made by the former prime minister of the political hall and the examiner randomly selected from all fields of society. But the questions they come up with must have a common feature, that is, at least 1/5 of them are related to civilizations outside the system, otherwise, these questions are unlikely to be considered invalid, and the successor candidates who can answer these questions will also be deducted corresponding points.

Emperor Liu Wei was of course a little uncomfortable with such rules. But there is no conditioning to which it is adapted in the whole Magna Carta, and after repeated discussions with his fellow processors, he reluctantly stamped his heart on it, and agreed to all the arrangements for the enthronement ceremony of the Suning team.

Those ministers believed that as long as the emperor could successfully re-ascend the throne, they could call on the local people to resist the control of Suning, a powerful minister, and at least they could use the emperor's authority to fight against Suning as much as possible, however, Suning clearly stipulated in the Magna Carta that these former important ministers of the court must retake the examination of the ministry before they can re-assume the corresponding positions. This made this group of old ministers very dissatisfied, because on Cao Cao Cao Mengde's side, almost all the old ministers of the Han Dynasty were successfully canonized and appointed by the imperial court.

However, when they told this reason to Suning, this unexpectedly got Suning's sneer, from Suning's point of view, this group of old bureaucrats also hoped to use the power of the imperial court to exploit the people in the countryside, seek their own private interests, and cultivate their own private tribes. In this way, they will become moths of the entire empire, just like the family families in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

No one wants to take their hard-earned cake to bite these moths, so the most decisive decision Suning made is to transform these moths into obedient bugs as much as possible, if they don't want to, then they can only take tougher measures.

Of course, this group of people knew what it meant to them to take the official examination, not only that they would start from the low-level basic officials like most other young officials, but also that they would have to use Suning's official instructions when answering questions, which made those of them who had already mastered the so-called Great Dao Science in their hearts was really a huge mental crush.

And Suning seems to like to test a person in this way, whether he is loyal to himself or not, if this person is willing to implement his own will, implement his own ideas, then even if he has a certain conflict with himself in other aspects, it seems to be a forgivable thing.

But for these court veterans, this point was too difficult to accept, so the first contradiction between the two sides broke out. This is a conflict that is destined to occur since Suning established a constitutional monarchy, so Suning is fully prepared for this.
