Chapter 1077: The world is a public martial artist
Ji Yi's soft knife is powerful, but Wu Haogu can't show his cowardice in front of his subordinates and henchmen, so he has to deliberately pretend that he has a feeling that he is confident and everything is under control. Only Ximen Qing knew that last night, Wu Haogu couldn't sleep with his eyes staring all night!
There is still a way to deal with a bunch of princes and uncles, that is, to occupy a little territory. However, Ji Yi's appointment as the envoy of Hailu City and the granting of autonomy to Tianjin City were the two tricks of Wu Haogu's death.
Because Wu Haogu's power is actually based on the right of industry and commerce of Tianjin Municipality and the shipping department of Hailu City to block and collect tolls.
If both of these aspects were dug into the corner by Ji Yi, Wu Haogu would not have enough financial resources to maintain the army, and there would be no huge industry and commerce to support the supply of weapons.
But fortunately, Lin Chong and Yan Po'er's good daughter, Yan Xijiao, both have a bit of intelligence talent, and they heard about Ji Yi's tricks early in the morning (in fact, the Great Song Dynasty is a sieve that is permeable from all sides, and it is not difficult to inquire about information), giving himself time to think about countermeasures.
After a night of thinking, Wu Haogu now has some ideas, and he will talk about this matter with his henchmen this afternoon.
Wu Haogu never sat down in front of his seat, but slowly paced among the people in the hall, and only after a long time did he speak: "What are you doing standing?" Sit down. You are not outsiders, you are all my siblings and confidants, and you don't need to talk about all that red tape. Besides, we are different from those people in Kaifeng Mansion, their roots are the world. The world is big, and it is the private property of one family and one surname. We started from the Jiehe Commercial Market, which is a republic of businessmen and people, and pays attention to the world for the public, which is to select talents and abilities, and to emphasize faith and harmony. Wu Mou is not talented, and he was elected by everyone, so he led everyone to establish a happy land, and only then did he have the current situation. β
His words greatly surprised the henchmen. What does Wu Hao Gu mean? Don't be king? Want the world to be public? Want a republic? So what is the head of the republic? FΓΌhrer?
Seeing everyone's surprised eyes, Wu Haogu smiled and waved his hand to let them sit down. After everyone sat down, Wu Hao Gu Cai smiled and said: "Being a king, being an envoy, or being a head of state is just a name." The key is not the name, but the world for the public and the republic. The major affairs of Yandi cannot be decided by a certain family, and there is no idea of a single word. It still has to be discussed, so Yandi must also open the Senate, and the king of Beiping must continue to be the chief patriarch of the Senate! β
The henchmen were a little surprised, but they didn't show much surprise. After all, the republican system has been practiced in Jiehe Commercial City for more than ten years. Everyone is the initiator of the business market republic and knows what the rules are.
"The world is for the public" or something, but a group of business market promoters with huge wealth are discussing things. After so many years of operation, isn't the business market also very good? It's just that the situation in this Yandi is much more complicated than the commercial market.
The population and land alone are many times more!
Can it still be governed by republican and senate politics?
"Jie Shuai," Brother Zhao Zhongge was the first to say, "You want to be the chief patriarch of the Yandi Senate, we naturally support it, but where does this Yandi patriarch come from?" β
Murong Wangwu also followed and said: "The things mentioned in the Book of Rites are known to all readers, but I didn't expect it to come true in the hands of the festival marshal. It's just that now it's Yandi that is governed, and it's no longer a small commercial market, if you are not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable! β
Wu Haogu nodded, "That's why I discussed this matter with everyone." β
He paused, "I'll say a few words first, it's a brick throw."
The Senate of our Yandi should be divided into two houses, each with 100 senators. The Upper House is the place where the princes and wealthy families of our Yandi and the big industry and businessmen of Tianjin City are full of knowledge and Confucianism, so let's set three simple standards.
The princely and wealthy clans are based on the number of armored horses that can be provided, and the big clans that can rank in the top forty can elect a patriarch of the upper house.
The big industry and big businessmen take tax payment as the standard, and the chambers of commerce, commercial houses, and merchants that can rank in the top 30 can all nominate a veteran of the upper house.
As for the full study of Confucianism, it was recommended by the Great Doctor Group, Yuntai Academy, Knight Academy, Navy Academy and other schools. The quota is also thirty people.
In addition, all veterans, regardless of whether they belong to the upper or lower houses, have a term of office of five years, and can be re-elected. β
This criterion is simple, the princely and wealthy families are superior in terms of the number of knights, and if they can provide more knights to Wu Haogu, they can send the elders of the upper court. The big businessmen and workers are heroes who pay taxes, and those who pay more taxes can elect the elders.
By the way, the main body of the elders is not a natural person, but a family, a chamber of commerce, a commercial house, a business, and other units. Moreover, the wealthy families of Yandi and the chambers of commerce and commercial houses owned by these families with independent taxpayer qualifications can nominate the elders as long as they meet the standards.
Taking Wu Haogu as an example, he has so many false sons, and the knights he can provide are of course ranked high, and he is qualified to nominate a patriarch. And the Gonghe Bank, Bank of Tianjin, Wanda Wazi, Wanjia Real Estate, Wangbeilou Real Estate, Oiran Bank, Jiehe Shipyard, Jiuxian Xing, Tianjin Racecourse, as well as the commercial houses and factories he controlled, such as the Jiehe City Bosi Commercial Bank and the Tianjin Ordnance Institute, as long as they can enter the top 30 in Yandi in terms of tax payment, they can still recommend a veteran.
In addition, he is also the leader of the positivist school, and through the doctoral group, the Yuntai Academy, and a series of professional colleges, he can also recommend many veterans.
In other words, just Wu Haogu himself can nominate forty or fifty elders in the upper house of the Yandi Senate in the future.
"As for the senators of the lower house of the Senate, they should be elected by the citizens, and the number is also a hundred." Wu Haogu said, "And whether you are a citizen of Yandi or not should be subject to military service, tax payment, and knowledge." All knights, government soldiers, and officers of the escort corps and above who bestowed land were all citizens of the right place. The amount of taxes paid in the previous year was sufficient to support a household or merchant equipped with an employee infantry soldier, and the head of the household or the owner of the household was also a citizen. All the students who have completed the Yuntai Academy and the lower colleges, and the doctors of the doctoral group, are also Yandi citizens.
In addition, people who have made meritorious contributions to Yandi, regardless of their origin, can be granted citizenship at their discretion.
Becoming a citizen can not only nominate the patriarch, but also serve as an official official, and the children or themselves can also have priority admission to the Yuntai Academy and various colleges and academies. β
These things were not thought up by Wu Haogu without sleeping all night, but the result of the long-term "democratic experiment" of Jiehe Shang City and Jingdong Shang City.
Murong Wuwu listened carefully, and after listening, he frowned and asked, "What are the powers and responsibilities of the upper and lower houses of this Senate?" What is the difference between the upper and lower houses? β
"The upper house presides over military affairs, and the lower house presides over civil affairs and taxation." Wu Haogu said, "The upper and lower houses jointly elect the head of the Yandi ruling government, and review the candidates for each house owner, review the budget, and elect the head of the prefecture, county, county and city directly under it.
The person in charge of the commercial city of the autonomous prefecture must also be approved by the upper and lower houses once every few years. If the person in charge is not lawful, the House and the House also have the power to impeach......"
"Marshal, who is the head of this ruling government?"
Immediately someone asked questions.
They know that the ruler of the Great Song Dynasty refers to the prime minister and the government. Is this head of the Yan Di ruling government equivalent to the prime minister of the "Yan State"?
"It's me!" Wu Haogu said word by word, "I plan to be the first Yandi ruler." β
"But aren't you a king?" Ximen Anguo asked.
"The king is sealed by the official family of the Great Song Dynasty," Wu Hao Gu Dao, "The ruling is elected by the people of Yandi through the Senate!" Meng Ziyun: The people are the first, the monarch is light, and the community is secondary. Therefore, the ruler raised by the people of Yandi is more qualified to rule Yandi than the king of the official family of the Great Song Dynasty! β
This is the name of righteousness, and it is also the method used by Wu Haogu to avoid the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" of Yandi. His king of Beiping did so, but at the same time frothy this "king", and then ruled in the name of the ruling party elected by the Yandi Senate.
In other words, his power does not come from Zhao Ji, but from the citizens, wealthy families and taxpayers of Yandi!
In addition, the "kings" of Wu Haogu are all foaming, and the bunch of princes below should not be taken seriously, just have fun.
The number of lands, riches, knights that can be taken seriously!
Murong forgot to think about it, and then asked, "What is the difference between autonomy and direct jurisdiction?" β
Wu Hao Ancient Road: "Today's Yandi includes Tianjin, Yanshan, Shunzhou, Jizhou, Danzhou, Jingzhou, Zhuozhou, Luanzhou, Pingzhou, Yingzhou, as well as Tianjin, Suzhou (referring to Dalian) two commercial markets and some overseas territories. Not counting overseas territories, the only lands directly under the direct jurisdiction of the future ruling government are Tianjin, Yanshan and Suzhou, and the remaining eight prefectures and one city are all autonomous.
Autonomy is divided into two types: observation autonomy and commercial autonomy. Eight of the prefectures are autonomous observers, while Tianjin is autonomous as a commercial city. Observation makes it unnecessary for the autonomy to set up a council, but only to report important military and civil affairs, and at the same time maintain a certain garrison force, and send some of them to serve.
The commercial city autonomy set up a council, and the system can refer to the Yandi Senate. At the same time, the municipalities were also required to maintain a militia for self-defense and pay taxes to the Yandi government. β
According to Wu Haogu's vision, in the future, Yandi will take the route of raising troops with land and collecting wealth with industry and commerce. There is basically no agricultural tax on the land of the two prefectures directly under the central government, and the sale and purchase of land and the division of manors are not allowed. Agricultural land will be strictly linked to military service, and knights' manors and military farms will become the most common forms of land tenure.
A series of commercial markets and overseas colonies, including Yanshan Fucheng, Tianjin Commercial Market, Suzhou Commercial Market, Jueying Island Commercial Market, Nanxin Island Commercial Market, Tamna Island Commercial Market, and Liuqiu Commercial Market, were the main sources of revenue for the Yandi government.
Although the financial resources are not much, because the manor knights and the soldiers of the Conferred Field Mansion are soldiers who do not pay regular salaries, the expenses are not too large, and they should be able to maintain it very well.
