In addition to the reorganization of the army, another thing that has been widely talked about is the creation of a federation.

Zhu Junshi shook his head and explained:

"The state, the country. The big one is the state, and the small one is the country. ”

"United, united, united and horizontal. The north and south are vertical, and the east and west are horizontal. The Iron Country, the Nine Plains, and the Jin Kingdom are horizontal from west to east, so they are called Lian. ”

Geng Xiucai said slightly: "The so-called country should have a prince." There is a kingdom of kings, which can be called kingdoms; If there is a principality, it can be called a principality; There is a country of marquis, which can be called a marquis country. Jiuyuan has the king of Qin, but it is not the fief of the king of Qin, whether it can be a country, His Royal Highness thinks twice. ”

In the past two days, whenever Zhu Junshi heard others call him "His Highness", he smiled so much that the corners of his mouth could reach the back of his head.

His Royal Highness King Qin closed his eyelids to block the joy in his eyes, and after thinking about it, he agreed:

"It's inappropriate. The two countries of iron and gold are husband and wife, and Jiuyuan said that the state was suspected of trespassing. ”

Geng Xiucai suggested: "Your Highness, since the Han Dynasty, the counties and the country are parallel. The land directly under the imperial court is the county, and the feudal land of the princes is the country. Now the situation of Jiuyuan is not as good as calling the name of the county and the reality of the country. ”

Zhu Junshi was overjoyed in his heart. Feudal, what a kind and distant name.

The so-called feudal, fiefdom statehood also. Feudalism began in three dynasties and ended in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, although China had princes in addition to the emperor, the princes only received fiefs and could not establish states. The fief gradually evolved into a simple source of income for the prince, who did not manage the specific affairs of the fief, and the officials who managed the fief were appointed directly by the emperor. In fact, China has been practicing a highly centralized imperial system since the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Zhu Junshi was bent on restoring the rule of three generations, and the feudal system was a significant symbol of the three generations.

So the two of them happily found Sun Yi and suggested that although Jiuyuan actually established itself as a country, because it was not a princely fief, it was only called a county according to the ancient law.

Sun Yi doesn't care at all, country, county, state, province, state, province, you can call it, it's just a symbol.

Sun Yi warned the two of them to bother him less about these trivial matters of his mother and mother-in-law. The system of the federation is an autonomous republic. The so-called autonomy means that the three countries manage their internal affairs independently; The so-called republic means that whenever there is a major event, the three countries will discuss and handle it.

What name Jiuyuan wants to call is completely Jiuyuan's internal affairs, Sun Yi will not interfere, and the Federation will not interfere.

Zhu Junshi deeply felt that Lidel was true to his words, and he took a solid first step towards returning to the dream of three generations! After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Chinese emperors were fiefs but not fiefs in order to maintain the unification, but Li Deer Ye was a fief but not a fief. In contrast, Lord Lidel is naturally a Mingjun saint without any overbearing ambitions, and the royal paradise of three generations is just around the corner!

So although the two of them ate a nose of ash, they were secretly overjoyed.

The two gathered the villagers and elders to "govern" a little, and then announced that the name of Jiuyuan Country was set as Jiuyuan County. However, no one can say how the three kingdoms of iron, gold, and Jiuyuan will be "republican" next.

People from the Ming Dynasty imagined that the federation should be like setting up a court, and Sun Yi sat high on the highest part of the federal court; Each of the three countries has a minister, who sits down to discuss and decide on the affairs of the federation, like the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao, the so-called classic republican administration;

Those who came from the steppes imagined that the heads of the three countries of the Federation should meet once a year in the summer, during which the major events of the coming year should be discussed, and by the way, Naadam should be held.

Dahai enthusiastically suggested that the federation could be like the Eight Banners system founded by the first emperor of Manchukuo, Nurhachi, in which the leaders of the three countries would take turns to govern and change once a year, and in case of major events, the leaders of the three countries would meet in time to discuss the government.

Each of the three options has its own supporters, and they do not give in to each other. Summing up to Sun Yi, Sun Yi was surprised by the imagination of the Ming Dynasty people, and threw out the fourth plan: each of the three countries will send some representatives to form a parliament, and the federal affairs will be voted on.

Each of the four options had its own advantages and disadvantages, and Sun Yi was not sure that the parliamentary system of later generations would be better than the three proposed by the Ming Dynasty.

However, at the moment, the coalition forces are at war, and the internal management bodies of the three countries have not yet been brushed up. Sun Yi decided not to rush first, everyone can fully discuss the four plans, or even put forward more plans, and wait until winter to set aside a period of time to make a decision.

Sun Yi designated this date to start on this year's winter solstice, when not only how the three countries will "republic", including the new "civil calendar" calendar, the apportionment of federal military expenditures and other matters will be discussed and determined this winter.

As for where to discuss in winter, who will participate in the discussion, how to discuss it, and what form to make a decision in the end, Sun Yi is in charge of the decision, and each of the three countries will send a representative to set up a three-person preparatory group to discuss these matters.

Qin King Zhu Junshi's eyes rolled, and he immediately said that he wanted to exercise the right to escape, and from now on he would not be a native of the Iron Country, but would be naturalized in Jiuyuan County, and volunteered to be the representative of the preparatory team of Jiuyuan County.

Sun Yi smiled and agreed to Zhu Junshi's request to escape. However, whether Zhu Junshi can be a representative or not depends on the people of Jiuyuan County.

Isn't it easy? As the king of Qin, although Zhu Junshi had no fiefdom in Jiuyuan, he had the merit of founding the country. Zhu Junshi relied on his high prestige in the hearts of the people of Jiuyuan County, and he turned around and obtained the "people's authorization".

Since then, Deputy Zhu has frequently convened the fathers and villagers of Jiuyuan to discuss the great cause of the founding of the country, and the common people are ecstatic in their hearts, saying that it does not matter how autonomy is or how republican it is, and the founding of Jiuyuan means that the federation will defend Jiuyuan. The most important thing is to keep their homeland, and the other Qin kings can make their own decisions!

Geng Xiucai enthusiastically helped, and he and Zhu Junshi wrote several letters to the "people of insight" in their hometown, and sent people to Shaanxi, asking them to come to Jiuyuan County before the winter solstice this year to "participate in state affairs and rebuild three generations of glory".
