354 State Governments

"We issue banknotes for another purpose. It is to regulate our monetary inflation. A large amount of gold flowed into our country. It will inevitably lead to a depreciation of gold. With the rise in prices. This is particularly important for maintaining the stability of our country. Shang Wen changed his mind and said.

The crowd began to discuss. Explanation of Shang Wen. Some people don't understand. But some people are very familiar with it. This is reflected. Officials are out of touch with real social life. The serious ignorance of the price increase indicates the low quality of officials.

The on-site response was not bad. There are only a very small part. Maybe they didn't notice.

"Dare to ask the Prime Minister, how to implement this currency issuance?" An official asked.

"Establishment of a bank. I guess everyone is familiar with the bank," Shang Wen said. Everyone nodded in acknowledgement. Only King Qin alone did not know. King Qin could only ask Zhao Gao privately. There are so many new things coming up. It's too fast. This made the King of Qin feel the need to go to the people.

"Banknotes can be exchanged at the bank, and these banking services are available. It's just a small number. Next. All we need to do is set up a bank. Shang Wen said.

"These problems are solved. Private bond funds will be concentrated. Naturally, they went back to emigrate. Now a new question arises. That is, how immigration operates. Or rather. How to set up a local government. Shang Wen said.

"When the government was established in the western and northern steppes, we must think that their land was taken from the Xiongnu and the Hu people. There's no guarantee that they'll come back one day. What do we do at that time. Shang Wen said.

"Now civilians can legally own guns in locations west of Longxi and then along the periphery of the Yellow River. It turns out. Civilians with guns are no less combative than nomads running back and forth. Even stronger than them. Shang Wen said.

This caused everyone to be nervous all at once. These civilians with guns are so strong in combat. If someone incites. Launching an armed rebellion would have unimaginable consequences. The ministers felt very nervous at this time. Some have experienced armed rebellions.

King Qin and Yu Yu were the only two people who were shocked.

"Under effective control. They can effectively control the area they are in. Or even expand more land. The problem lies with us. And not the civilian holding of the weapon itself. Shang Wen said loudly.

"And the facts prove it. During this assault on the Yue, a large number of civilians became de facto militia. And with a little training, these militiamen became the helpers of the main force of our Qin army. They are reserve forces. It is the source of our country's troops. They are not enemies. It's your own people. And what we have to address is the fact that they exist. According to this fact. Conduct effective management. The problem lies with us. Shangwen felt like he was lobbying Congress.

"How is it managed?" King Qin asked.

"Establish local councils. That is, the state legislature. All power is vested in Parliament. State governments are elected by state legislatures. The highest governor of a state is the governor. The term of office is four years. It is supervised by the Parliament. If not done well. Or maybe there's a problem. then the parliament has the power to investigate it. Ask questions and more. ”

"In order to ensure that local governments have a certain degree of flexibility and policy continuity. In the case of not violating the state of Qin**. Passed a number of local bills. Shang Wen said.

Everyone present blew up. It's so new. No one dares to explicitly support and oppose it. None of them could see the intent of the rules.

"The governor is just like me. They may choose their own persons to hold public office for a certain term of office. But there must be a time limit. At the same time, in order to avoid excessive power of the governor. I suggest that the judiciary should be separated. Keep them free from anyone's interference. Independent law enforcement. This is guaranteed for all. It is also an effective way to ensure the stability of a state. Shang Wen said.

No one spoke this time. They can't say anything anymore. Is there anything bolder than that? Without. Discerning people see this as a weakening of royal power. Shang Wen is taking a risk. It is very likely that the bottom line of King Qin has been touched. And King Qin is also very sensitive to this. He was thinking about what Shang Wen was doing.

"The legislative, executive, and judicial powers check each other. Local governments are guaranteed not to rebel. Leave them out of the jurisdiction of the central government. Then let's go back to the beginning. Militiaman. The militia is the basic armed force of the country. The State has the right to conscript the militia, and the militia has the right to defend our own country. There is an obligation to be loyal to the state. The three armed forces have an obligation to be loyal to the state. Commander-in-Chief of the Third Army of Wang. Commandment of the King. Must be heard. Shang Wen's remarks actually sorted out the issue of military power. This needs to be regulated by legal instruments.

"To keep the place safe. The military district system will be introduced. The army within the military district. Rotate every one to two years. Within the military district. Only with the consent of the Parliament. Only the militia can be recruited. And the right to conscription. will be annexed to the state. The state has uniformly set up recruitment points. Recruit soldiers. Train soldiers. This is a matter for the state. There can be no interference in the military zone. Shang Wen recounted.

There was no sound in the entire hall. These are new tricks that have never been heard of before. For the old rules. What they are familiar with cannot be in the familiar. But once a new trick is changed. Everyone was at a loss. Those are detailed what the legislative power, the judicial power. Arrangements for powers. None of them had heard of it.

It's not just the ministers. Even King Qin felt a great headache. These things. There is no one in the book. There are no examples to be found. Some only have one side of Shang Wen. Those examples are also exemplified by Shang Wen. What is the situation? No one knows.

Shang Wen finished. Everyone kept silent. They're all thinking. are all weighing up.

"It's not too early. Stand down, everybody. "King Qin also has a headache. It was getting late. I put the issue aside for the time being.

The crowd saw this. Begin to retire. King Qin also left, and he didn't know what to do. Shang Wen had no choice but to go back and rest. After all, I was in a hurry for several days. Shang Wen said so much. I also feel very tired. Decided to go back and eat a full meal first. Get a good rest.

Just out of the main hall. Then he heard someone whisper to him.

"Nerd. Over here. Over here. Shang Wen listened and looked back. saw Yingyu change into an ancient costume and hide behind the pillar.

Shang Wen reluctantly walked over and asked. "What do you tell me to do"?

"Hehe, please eat. By the way, about 65 million years ago. Yingyu said with a smile.
