"For how long?" Chen Da was stunned, the conversation between the two has always been very compatible, is Wang Xin trying to drive me away? He glanced at Zhu Youzhen, and quickly pondered in his mind for a while, and then said slowly: "Five years, I plan to be the governor for five years, and after five years, I will resign!" ”

"Why five years?" Zhu Youzhen knew that Chen Da must not have thought about the issue of time in office, and I don't know why he gave a five-year time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Lord Wang, Xiaguan is no longer young, if he has been an official for too long, at that time, as he gets old, his energy will inevitably be low," Chen Dawei closed his eyes, looking thoughtful, but with the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at Zhu Youzhen, "Moreover, Xiaguan still has his own industry, and that is the root of Xiaguan. ”

"It's not wrong for Lord Chen to think like this!" Zhu Youzhen knew that Chen Dayan was insincere, but the current Lanzhu Province is indeed in ruins, especially the system construction that is being implemented, in five years, I am afraid that I can only build a framework, if Chen Da just laid the foundation and left, it is really a pity.

He glanced at Chen Da with some indifference, "To be able to serve as the governor of a province, not only must have the heart of seeking benefits for the people, but also have some social experience and life experience, and have a certain prestige among the people, which determines that his age will not be too young, if he has served for too long, his energy will inevitably be poor, such as seventy or eighty, his health is a problem, even if he wants to seek happiness for the people, I am afraid that he has more than enough heart and not enough strength, so, the five years that Lord Chen said, can you understand it this way: the term of office as the governor is five years, and the five-year period expires, Voluntary separation. ”

"Voluntary resignation?" Chen Da had never heard of this brand-new system, and he could only wait for Zhu Youzhen's further explanation.

"But before the governor can leave office, he must complete the election of the next governor," Zhu Youzhen thought, and it is better to establish it in the form of a law, "The governor can also participate in the election of the next governor, but he cannot be re-elected more than twice, that is, a person can serve as the governor for no more than ten years!" "I don't know what happened to distant Europa, if they hadn't started the elections, it would have been the first Electoral Law in the world.

"Ten years?" This is an acceptable time for Chen Da, he is nearly fifty years old, ten years later, he is about to be the year of the sixtieth year, and it must be a little difficult to manage this province with a vast area and underdeveloped transportation, besides, he still has his own industry to operate, "but ......"

"If Lord Chen has any concerns, you might as well speak up!" Once a consensus is reached on these principles, they must be established in the form of laws, and in order to form a new law, under the current circumstances, Chen Da's approval must be obtained, so Zhu Youzhen must dispel Chen Da's worries and let him psychologically support such a law.

"If the governor leaves office completely, will the handover with the successor governor go smoothly?" Chen Da hesitated, "Also, the chiefs of those halls, what should they do?" ”

"Since these governors are all appointed by the provincial governor, they will naturally leave office with the provincial governor," Zhu Youzhen put on a tone of teaching the elders, "As for the handover of the provincial governor, there should not be a major problem, because the parliament that elected the provincial governor has not been dissolved for the time being, that is to say, the election of the members of the parliament is not held at the same time as the election of the provincial governor, and when the provincial governor resigns, the council that oversees the provincial governor is still exercising power." ”

"Governor? Parliament? Heads of Departments? Chen Da muttered to himself, as if he was recalling Zhu Youzhen's words, and after a long time, he asked, "Lord Wang, will Your Majesty agree to what we are discussing?" Although he barely kept up with Zhu Youzhen's rhythm, Chen Da still felt that the gap between these systems and the mainland of the Ming Dynasty was too great, and it was even possible to violate the "Ming Law".

"Lord Chen doesn't have to worry, these are all His Majesty's intentions," Zhu Youzhen wanted to completely dispel Chen Da's worries, "Lanzhu is different from Nanyang provinces such as Luzon, Shunta, and Daiyan, it is the first autonomous province in the Ming Dynasty, and all the officials are not appointed by the imperial court. ”

"......" Chen Da was speechless, but he had to admit that what Zhu Youzhen said was the truth, and he himself ascended to the sky in one step, and was directly promoted from a businessman to the governor.

"If this system proves to be effective in curing ink greed, other provinces in Nanyang will adopt this system in the future," Zhu Youzhen knocked Chen Da down, and at the same time worried that Chen Da would misunderstand his meaning, "Not only Nanyang, but also the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, it is possible to adopt this system," he lowered his voice and smiled mysteriously: "Lord Chen can understand now?" Your Majesty wants to use Lanzhu Province as a test field, once the Lanzhu system test is successful, Lord Chen will be recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Really?" Chen Da's eyes flashed with a glittering light, as a businessman, if he could leave a name in history like Yu Qian and Zhang Juzheng, who were born in Shilin, what an unthinkable thing!

However, the opportunity lies ahead.

"I won't leave Lanzhu for the time being, Lord Chen might as well organize people to design a preliminary rule, and after I read it, I will sign my name," Zhu Youzhen straightened his body and looked extremely solemn, "Although I won't compete with Lord Chen, I will work with Lord Chen to assume all possible responsibilities!" ”

"So there is King Lao!" Chen Da once again threw a deep swipe at Zhu Youzhen, "Xiaguan immediately organized manpower, no, Xiaguan will do it himself, and he must come up with a framework before Lord Wang leaves." ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that Chen Da could only come up with a preliminary draft now, and if he really wanted to implement it, he would have to revise it continuously, "Then it's a word, and in a few days, I'll take a look at Lord Chen's plan!" He smiled slightly, Chen Da just asked for his signature, as long as he signed the fake Wang Xin fake Qincha, even if the emperor blamed him, he couldn't blame Chen Da's head.

Chen Da looked at Zhu Youzhen as if he was looking at an alien.

Zhu Youzhen didn't understand what Chen Da meant for a while, "Lord Chen, you ......"

Chen Da arched his hand, "Lord Wang doesn't want to be famous, it seems to be ...... It doesn't seem to be profitable, but I have to sign the plan...... Shouldering such a heavy responsibility...... The lower official is stupid, and the lower official really can't figure it out! ”

"Haha," Zhu Youzhen returned the salute with a smile, "all for Da Ming!" ”

"All for the sake of Daming?" Chen Da's eyebrows bent obviously, and then stretched, "Yes, everything is for Daming!" ”

"Haha, all for Da Ming!" The two smiled at each other.

Chen Da immediately withdrew his smile and changed his hesitant expression, "Lord Wang, Lord Qincha came to Nanyang this time, and when he arrived in Lanzhu Province, he didn't even enter the Yamen, is it ......?"

"Lord Chen is talking about Wang Junzuo?" Zhu Youzhen smiled, "When I was in Beijing, Your Majesty had an explanation, Wang Junzuo was in charge of military affairs, and he was in charge of civil affairs, and now Wang Junzuo was accompanied by Commander Zheng to inspect the Nanyang Sea and Army political affairs," paused and said: "Wang Junzuo is a real soldier, and he is too lazy to pay attention to the cumbersome affairs of civil affairs, Lord Chen doesn't have to mind!" ”

Chen Da was relieved, not only laughing: "I see! ”

Zhu Youzhen set out from Kuching, along the coastline, all the way to the north, along the way to inspect the people's livelihood, on the third day, when he first arrived in Siwu, Chen Da sent him to draw up the "Lanzhu Provincial Government Management Law", "Lanzhu Provincial Government Management Law" is based on the content of Chen Da and Zhu Youzhen's conversation, after Zhu Youzhen revised, there are mainly eleven articles:

These articles, later known as the "Orchid Bamboo System" or "Orchid Bamboo Eleven Articles", are not much, nor specific and detailed enough, but they point out the direction for the development of Orchid Bamboo.

Zhu Youzhen did not put forward specific requirements to Chen Da, because this brand-new system must be put into operation first, and problems can only be corrected in a timely manner after they are discovered.

There is no one-size-fits-all political # governance system and legal system, the Lanzhu system is now just a framework, Lanzhu Province, the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youzhen are all crossing the river by feeling the stones, although Zhu Youzhen has rich experience in later generations, but he is not sure that this system is suitable for the Ming Dynasty and the Han people.

But Daming is now a leading country in the East in terms of economy, culture, and science, and she has the obligation to explore an advanced path forward for the East.
