Chapter 561 Reform of the Administrative System (3) Presidential Election
Just then, it was time for dinner. Yang Chong www.biquge.info the pen and let everyone eat something at the presidential palace.
Although Yang Chong had his own private residence, he moved back to the presidential palace after recovering from his illness. Therefore, the basic living facilities are available in the presidential palace. Like this royal chef, he was invited from Zhonghua Building.
In terms of technology, it is natural to be leveraged.
The ministers present also took advantage of the situation.
It's just that when they arrived at the dining room, everyone was a little dumbfounded. Because on the huge square table, there are only four simple dishes and one soup. Among them, there are only two plates of meat dishes. One is stir-fried meat with green peppers and the other is crispy pork ribs. The remaining three dishes are cabbage and tofu soup, sautéed potato chips, and braised eggplant.
"Come, come, come! Eat! You're welcome! Yang Chong hospifully pulled out the table and chairs and beckoned everyone to sit down and eat.
Liu Weiguo looked at it and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "President, this won't be today's dish, right?" ”。 With the weight of the seven of them, these four dishes are obviously not enough to eat.
"Hahaha..." Yang Chong said with a smile: "Of course! I knew that today's meeting was a bit long, so I asked the chef to add three dishes. ”。 Usually, there are only two dishes on the table. He eats with his three children, and it is very compact.
"The president! Although Daming advocates thrift and thrift, there is no need to save so far! Zuo Peng held his forehead slightly, and said with some embarrassment. In order to solve the problem of material shortage, the Ming Dynasty began to advocate frugality.
The Propaganda Department even took photos of Yang Chong leading by example, being diligent and thrifty, so that he could use it for publicity and increase his influence.
These two dishes a day were used for show at that time.
It's just that what Zuo Peng didn't expect was that Yang Chong took it seriously.
Hearing this, Yang Chong's face straightened and responded: "Since you have set an example of diligence and thrift, you naturally have to follow through to the end." This is one set in front of the face, one set behind the back, what do the people below think? In the eight years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been two coups and d'état. It shows that our administrative level is not very principled! Although institutional deficiencies account for the main factor, one other factor cannot be ignored.
It's all about principle, and Zuo Peng can't talk about it. The others obediently closed their mouths and sat down to eat.
Although everyone is already familiar with it, with the accumulation of time, the status has changed. In the hearts of everyone, there are also calculations. In front of Yang Chong, it was not as casual as before. After eating a meal, the dishes on the table have not yet bottomed out.
Seeing this, Yang Chong also intended to ease the atmosphere, so he urged: "Everyone eat quickly!" This is much better than the boxed lunch set on the train, right? ”。 As soon as he said this, everyone also recalled the time when they took the train.
Yang Chongyuan was the identity of the train conductor, and he was also remembered by everyone.
Zuo Peng, who is good at observing words and feelings, even responded: "At that time, I still wanted to buy a bowl of fifteen yuan for a boxed lunch, but the purser held it and refused to sell it. ”。
The crowd immediately burst into laughter, reminiscing about the interesting events on the train. The dining table, which had a slightly heavy atmosphere, gradually became relaxed and pleasant.
The gap in identity has also faded a lot.
It was also a previous coup d'état, and too many people were implicated. Let these traversers, unconsciously, have a fear of Yang Chong. Deeper, it is the presidency that fears Yang Chong.
By the time the meal was finished, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
When he returned to the conference room, Yang Chong raised a new topic.
Just listen: "This is the presidential election method I have in mind, you all take it and see it." ”。 As he spoke, he asked the secretary to distribute the proposals he had prepared a long time ago to everyone.
This is the result of his reflection after returning to the presidential palace. Because from 1790 to the present, the Ming Dynasty has been established for eight years. From the beginning to the end, there was no clear explanation of how the president would be elected. As a result, some people who have illusions about the presidency have to take risks and use a violent coup d'état to seize the leadership of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, after learning the hard way, he decided to use an open and transparent way so that those who want to become president can get the position they want through legitimate channels.
Of course, for eight years before that. The top management of the Ming Dynasty did not forget this problem, but deliberately ignored it.
Because the Ming Dynasty is still a short country, the current administrative system is not perfect. If you blindly announce the way the president is elected, it is very likely to be used by people with intentions. So as to bring fatal damage to the Ming Dynasty.
After all, in later generations, many countries have cited the wrong way to elect presidents. As a result, the entire country was divided by warlords and civil strife.
In addition, Yang Chong never mentioned the method of selecting the president, and the ministers in office were embarrassed to focus. In the end, it involves the replacement of rights, which makes many issues not simple.
Now Yang Chong has proposed it himself, also because of everyone's taboos.
According to his plan, the president will be elected through two mechanisms: political party nomination and popular election.
First of all, party nominations!
In the name of Huaxia, the Huaxia Party was established. And at the legal level, it is stipulated that the only legal political party in the Ming Dynasty is the Huaxia Party. This puts an end to the fact that political parties spend a lot of administrative resources and attack each other.
In terms of the long-term peace and stability of the country, the centralization and centralization of power have been guaranteed.
As for the conditions for joining the party, they are limited to the people's qualifications. Volunteers who join the party shall submit a written application through an introducer. After assessment and review, a decision will be made on whether it can be passed.
After that, the senior members of the Huaxia Party will vote internally. After the two presidential candidates are elected, they are officially announced and nominated.
However, the qualifications of candidates can only be ministers and above. The people who participate in the vote can only be the people.
When any candidate receives more than half of the votes, he or she is eligible for the presidency. The term of office is five years and may be re-elected. However, the maximum term of office cannot exceed eight terms, and the age cannot exceed seventy.
Because as we get older, our thinking habits tend to be more conservative. There are few great people like Grandpa Deng. Therefore, in order to ensure that the leadership has a certain sense of innovation and enterprising, the age limit is deliberately restricted.
Gao Ming was the first to close the bill and said loudly: "This election method is feasible, but if it is implemented now, will it be too fast?" ”。 It stands to reason that eight years is not fast. However, the number of people who have obtained the people's qualifications in the Ming Dynasty is not more than 10,000 people. A large part of them are traversers.
Involving them is not very representative, and it is also very unscientific.
There is also the Huaxia Party, which will take a while to be formed. It will take some time to get up and running again. When we really take on the responsibility of nominating for the president, it will be at least next year.
