The old fox Taylor smiled and said noncommittally: "What kind of trick should I have, you are not a dead letter?" For the common people, paying taxes and serving in the military is simply more terrible than the devil, they can't escape it, how can they have enthusiasm in this regard? What you say is good, but there is no way to do it, doesn't that mean that you haven't said it? ”

Clifford had been prepared for this, and was not alarmed, smiled slightly, and said, "That's why I have to exchange with them." I propose that the King introduce a system of local self-government and parliament, with elected members of the central and local councils. The Central Council has the power to oppose the decisions of the Cabinet and can impeach members of the Cabinet. The local councils also have the same power over the Governor. ”

The old fox Taylor suddenly felt a hollowness in his mind, suddenly realized, nodded slightly, and exclaimed: "This has two advantages: first, it can check and balance the power of the governor and the cabinet, so that the power is in the hands of the monarch. Second, it can improve the status of the people and give them a sense of ownership of the country, so that they are more enthusiastic about paying taxes and serving in the military. ”

Taylor is worthy of the old fox, and it is clear that government and governance itself are a kind of exchange, and the king improves the social status of the people, allows them to participate in politics, and supervises those who are in power, in exchange for their active exercise of tax and service obligations, and makes the state powerful.

In this way, the people were willing to exercise these powers, because they felt that they were no longer paying taxes to the king, but that they were serving themselves, and that it was always positive to work for themselves.

This is the reason for the emergence of the European parliamentary system, which is not so noble, in fact, it is an exchange of interests.

Clifford was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and smiled a little proudly: "Those who can be elected in the local council must be local powerful factions, so that the king can win them over to check and balance the governors, with their checks and balances, the strength of the governors will be greatly damaged, and they can no longer form an independent state China, they can only choose to exchange with the king, hand over their powers, so as to seek to get a seat in the cabinet." Secondly, the judiciary should be independent, and any case should be brought before the courts, and no one should interfere, including the governor and the king. ”

Hearing this, Taylor was a little puzzled, he could understand that the governor could not interfere with the judiciary, and the king could not interfere with it. Will the king agree? "Why can't even the king intervene?" ”

Clifford explained unhurriedly: "The governors are accustomed to local power, and another important reason why they refuse to surrender power is that they are afraid that the king will settle accounts with them. The independence of the judiciary meant to tell the governors plainly that it was not the king who would decide whether they were guilty in the future, but by the high courts, and by the laws of the kingdom. In this way, they will be able to hand over their military and financial powers with peace of mind. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you want to make a difference, you have to pay a price. I think that the military and financial powers were more important to the king than the judicial power. ”

"Great, Clifford." The old fox Taylor has always been conceited, his eyes are above the top, and he never admires others easily, but Cliffor's comments today convinced him of admiration, and he said with emotion: "Take the judicial power out of the hands of the local governors, so that they will have no bargaining chips to argue with the king." ”

"You're so wise, my teacher." Clifford lost no time in patting his ass: "Since our Rhine Kingdom was defeated by the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Frankfurt last time, all the people of the country are ashamed, and everyone is trying their best to improve themselves, so that they can be ashamed of the country in the future, this is the trend of the whole country, and it is in line with the wishes of all the people." The policies I have just proposed will not only greatly increase the financial and military resources at the disposal of the state, increase the national strength, and restore the pride of the people, but also improve their social status, and I believe they will agree to it. This is going to be a new tide of history, and I don't think any governor will dare to go against it, including Bol, who will cooperate with the kingdom well. ”

"You're right." There was a glimmer of light in the eyes of the old fox Taylor, he could foresee that once this policy was well implemented, the power of the local governors, including Pol, would be weakened, and the power would return to the hands of the king, and recently the king's inclination towards the crown prince is obvious, that is, to establish the great prince, which means that it is definitely the eldest prince who will control the country in the future, at this moment, he has decided to occupy his throne, although he has a good relationship with Pol, but on this major issue of right and wrong, There is no room for personal feelings, he decided, he will be closer to the eldest prince in the future, half-squinted, took another sip of brandy, and said lightly: "Clifford, I never expected you to have such knowledge, very good, very good." What you said is very helpful to the country, and you deserve to be my student. ”

Clifford, who has lived for two lifetimes, has an insight into human nature that is different from ordinary people, and it is still what Stationmaster Wu said well in the TV series "Latent": "Gather your will and defend the leader." I have studied these eight words for fifteen years, and from the Fuxing Society to the present, I have studied a total of eight words - people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake. ”

He knew that the series of measures he had just spoken of were only good for the country, and in the final analysis for the king, and not much for him Taylor himself. He knows that Taylor is a veritable old fox, this kind of person definitely doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle, and wants him to help you without letting him see the benefits, that's just a fantasy.

Clifford knows that Taylor only appreciates him now, although the word is very good, but it is very pale and weak, except for those close to him, others will never use you out of appreciation, but out of whether it is useful to him, no matter how talented you are, it is useless to him, and he will not care about you.

That's why heroes always come out in troubled times, anyone can be an official in a peaceful and prosperous world, and if you don't have a relationship, it will naturally not be your turn, but in troubled times, it's different, and important positions don't need talented people to finish.

Collie had already thought of a comprehensive plan before, offering the strategy of restructuring was only his first step, the purpose was to help the king recentralize power, so as to gain the king's trust, his second step was to seek an official position for the old fox Taylor, the governor of the north, leaned forward, and said softly: "Teacher, although this matter works theoretically, it will definitely be resisted by some people who do not know the current affairs, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the new policy, the students think that they should find a place to be a pilot." As long as the effect of the New Deal is significant in this pilot, it will silence those who do not know the current affairs. "This move is naturally to learn from our party's advanced experience, and how can Coliford, who came from the 21 st century, not use this big move.
