2145 Political Framework
"A person's ambition is difficult to control, after all, he has one thing in mind, and the prejudice and arrogance will naturally increase. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.
"If you don't control these things well, then the person will be abnormal. It is understandable that such a person would make some unimaginable moves. Shang Wen said such a sentence inexplicably.
However, such behavior can cause great economic losses, and this risk is uncontrollable. If this is the case, we might as well not make this political investment, but if we don't make such an investment, we will not be able to open the market of Chu in time and let Chu connect with the market dominated by our Qin State. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"Hmm." Shang Wen just nodded. Nothing was said.
"So, I think what we should do is to let Chu open their market, no matter what kind of risk, we should try it. Only, what we are now seeking is a way to balance personal ambitions. Meng Yi said.
"One person's ambition can be balanced by other political systems." Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. That's the same thing I thought. Meng Yi nodded and said to Shang Wen.
"My idea is that our Qin State has a lot of experience in parliament and democratic politics, why don't we think of a way on this, for example, to establish a parliament, and the parliament is divided into two." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"Go on." Shang Wen nodded. Shang Wen knew that Meng Yi had thought of his thoughts. Shang Wen also thought of it. One person's ambition needs another political system to balance what has been contained. In this way, this person's ambition can be brought into play to a certain extent, rationally, and develop towards a balanced situation, which is what the Qin State wants to see the most.
This is the same as in the state of Zhao, which has two chambers, the upper house is composed of the nobles of the Zhao state, and the lower house is from all classes, but the main one is the merchant class. In this way, we can copy the experience of Zhao and set up two houses in Chu, which have great legislative power. With such legislative power, the state of Chu could balance its personal ambitions. Meng Yi said with a smile. Meng Yi thought that his idea was very good, so that he could balance the unstable factors that had appeared in the Chu State.
"I think the most important point here is that we can influence the legislative power of the Chu State by influencing the merchants of the Chu State." Meng Yi said.
"Well, you have a good idea. I think so. However, there is one point, in my opinion, that is not enough. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.
"Not enough?" Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and asked.
"Yes, it's not enough. It is very insufficient, just a legislative power can not control the other party at all, I think, there is also an executive power, we must decompose the power in the hands of the king of Chu to the greatest extent, and the executive power is one of them, with a good administrative power, we can solve this problem. Shang Wen said.
"In the state of Chu, we must ensure that the state of Chu can elect a suitable administrator, just like the prime minister of our state of Qin, who can hold such a position. to ensure the interests of all strata. And this position will have a lot of administrative power, and the king of Chu does not have such administrative power. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.
"Hmm. I agree with this, and if necessary, we can also use the influence of merchants to determine who will take charge of the executive power of the Chu State. Meng Yi said.
"Yes." He nodded to Shang Wen.
"That's the kind of balance we want." Shang Wen said.
"However, I think there should be another right to divide the power of the king of Chu, such as the judicial power. The rights of the enforcer of the law in the course of law enforcement. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.
"Well, I don't think the impact is too big." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"Instead of stripping away such rights, it is better to strip the military power of the king of Chu, which is a great power." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"This power has a huge impact, as long as there is military power. The king of Chu can still take back the judicial, administrative, legislative and other powers, and the upper and lower houses will become decorations, and such decorations are definitely not the results we want to see. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"Okay." Shang Wen thought for a moment and said. In Shang Wen's view, the independence of the judiciary is precisely the basis of the doctrine of separation of powers. But Meng Yi proposed military power. This kind of thinking is more practical than the judicial power, because as long as the king of Chu continues to retain a large military power, the possibility of military dictatorship will be very great, and once the military dictatorship government is formed, it will cause a serious consequence, the executive power, judicial power, and legislative power will be lost immediately, and the military dictatorship will become the most important power organ. This is definitely not what Shang Wen wants to see. Therefore, after Shang Wen thought about it, he nodded to Meng Yi and agreed with Meng Yi's opinion.
"As for how to separate military power, I think that we should imitate the Qin State, set up a general staff, and a military institution such as the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Defense has a certain right to transfer troops, and he can be responsible for the procurement of specific military equipment. The General Staff is responsible for the specific planning, and the command of the forces is vested in them. In this way, it is possible to separate their powers. As for the final dispatch of troops, I think, it can be divided into three parts, the House of Lords, the House of Commons, and the King of Chu. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.
"If all three sign the paper, I think they will be able to send troops to fight." Shang Wen said.
"Hmm." Meng Yi nodded.
"I think, if we design the political system like this, I wonder if the son of the negative will accept this?" Meng Yi asked worriedly.
"He had to accept that if he wanted to solve the problem of this King of Chu, he had to do what we wanted. We must set up a complete political system to be accepted by the people of Chu. If they don't accept it, we can't do anything. Shang Wen said.
"If they don't accept it, I think, we can stop supplying a lot of money to support their political activities, business economic activities." Meng Yi said.
"Yes. That's all there is to it. Shang Wen said.
"Alright. Let's think about what else we haven't noticed. Shang Wen said at this time.
"Hmm." Meng Yi thought for a moment.
"I don't think it's going to be there for the time being." Meng Yi said.
"No, I feel like we're missing something. Think again. I just had a feeling that something was missing, but I didn't know exactly what it was. Shang Wen said.
"Well, really?" Meng Yi asked.
"But I think we've done a good enough job. A lot of things, we all thought about. For example, the separation of military power, as well as executive power. The executive power is set according to the standards of our Qin state. I think it should be okay. Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. I think there should still be a certain amount of citizenship. Shang Wen thought for a moment and said.
"There are still a large number of slaves in the Chu State, and these slaves are attached to the nobles of the Chu State, which, yes, I remember. This is the same as the situation of Zhao Guo. The nobles of Zhao have a lot of power, they have their own fiefdoms, lands, and a large number of slaves, and we must change all this on the basis of the impact on their formation and that. Shang Wen said.
"However, if we do this, we will have to use the method of gold to impact the aristocratic market of Zhao State like Zhao State." Meng Yi said.
"No, it's not." Shang Wen shook his head and said.
"We can only rely on the power of merchants to do it, and we can't do anything about how to break through these fiefdoms. If we want to dismantle the Chu State, the only way is to make this place smaller. Shang Wen thought for a moment and said.
"I think that's the way to go." Shang Wen thought for a moment and said.
"We may have solved the problem of how the Chu State was at the top level, that is, how to solve this problem in the central government, but now what we want to solve is that their grassroots level, that is, their place, we must solve the local problem to the greatest extent at the local level." Shang Wen said.
"However, I think that local problems are difficult to solve, so to speak, difficult to solve. After all, local economies have special characteristics, and it is impossible for us to go deep into these places. Meng Yi thought for a while and said.
"Yes, it seems that it is still very early to talk about local issues, and if we continue like this, we may interfere too much, which will not be conducive to the further development of the other party." Shang Wen said.
"But local issues have to be solved, and there are many issues that are in harmony with our development." Shang Wen said.
"Make a separate list of this issue and tell the banks to pay attention to it." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi. As he spoke, Meng Yi wrote separately at the end of the report.
"Local problems, more economic problems, we have only solved a kind of political framework set up in the central government of Chu State, the purpose of this framework is mainly to prevent the further expansion of one person's power, and to spread this kind of separation of power thinking." Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. I agree. Meng Yi looked up and said. Shang Wen smiled and continued.
"However, we have not yet been able to completely solve the local economic problems, and at the same time, how to develop the state of Chu and how to develop further under the influence of the Bank of Qin. This has not yet been confirmed, as we need further developments to see what happens. Shang Wen said.
"The nobility of the Chu State, as well as the fiefs of the nobles, the citizenship rights of slaves, etc., have not been resolved, which may bury great hidden dangers. How to solve these problems depends on how the investors of commercial banks use commercial methods to deal with them. That's all the government can do. Shang Wen thought for a moment and said. Meng Yi quickly recorded it.
"Enter the memo and give it to the king." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.
