When the time came in 1946, the official data released by the empire showed that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the new nobles who were knighted for opening up territories and occupying islands and lands in the South Seas became the majority of all new nobles. It accounts for 70% of the low-ranking nobles, and 50% of the middle-to-high-ranking nobles above the earl.

Zhang Jun, the king of Zhennan, who was named the hereditary prince of the new continent (Australia) because he discovered the New World (Australia) and immigrated 100,000 to establish 20 coastal strongholds. After getting a master's degree in geography, he helped Su Song establish 30 observatories covering the whole country, measured the length of the earth's meridian and the radius of the axis, and in order to compile the republican calendar, he created and improved more than a dozen astronomical instruments and meters, such as the simple instrument, the high meter, the polar meter, the armillary celestial phenomenon, the elevation instrument, the vertical fortune instrument, the scenery symbol, and the peep; The average error of the altitude of the North Pole is only 0.35, the average error of the newly measured distance of 28 khats is less than 5, the new value of the yellow-red intersection angle is measured, and the error is only more than 1, and the length of the return year is 365.2425, which is completely consistent with the value of the Gregorian calendar that is in use today.

He was highly valued by the crossing, and he was naturally promoted to become wealthy quickly. But he was unwilling to stop at winning the Chenji Award, and wanted to reach the same height as his academic status in political status, so he resigned and went to sea to abandon his official position and engage in business.

Unexpectedly, he was proficient in astronomy and climate, and he opened up several lucrative routes, and after getting rich overnight, he learned that there were many islands south of the distant equator, so he thought that there might be a continent not far away; As a result, he scattered his wealth and recruited a large fleet of ships to sail southeast along the Lesser Sunda Islands. After discovering the island of Timor, he continued his voyage and finally discovered the New World in 1944.

Over the next year, the colonies slowly covered the coastal areas of the New World, and the outlines of the continent were fully mapped. In 1945, the Cannington lead-zinc-silver mine in Perth, Australia, was also discovered. In the first half of 1946, 1 ton of silver was produced, which is equivalent to 400,000 yuan of silver coins a year, and the mine can continue to increase production, maybe it will not take long to reach an annual output value of 2 million. Knowing the value of this treasure land, the traversal immediately bought it at a premium of 500% on the basis of the latest market price of 7 million under the crazy speculation (why didn't the traversal circle this land themselves?). Because the crossing is not bad for this money, it should be regarded as rewarding Zhang Jun's hard-earned money). All of a sudden, Zhang Jun's investment costs for adventure immigrants came back, and he made 2000% of the profits, becoming a veritable prince and a wealthy prince, and the young offspring who was less than 25 years old suddenly became the fifth diamond king.

He did not fall silent after becoming rich, and continued to be active in the Nanyang gold nuggets, and the mining industry made him rich, but he could not be among the senior officials and decision-makers of the central government, and he made up his mind to take the political line in Nanyang to enter the high-level, rather than the business line, and become a new aristocrat who only had a voice within his own industry. He formulated a three-step strategy, the first step was to become a powerful local official in Nanyang, the second step was to become a provincial and ministerial high-ranking official at the level of the governor of the region through rapid development, and the third was to serve as a professional politician in the country to run for the top position - a member of the Senate.

Nanyang was divided into four viceroyalty, the Viceroyalty of Luzon, the Viceroyalty of Boni, the Viceroyalty of the Spice Islands, and the Viceroyalty of the New World. In order to better manage the many areas annexed by the South Seas, the Philippines, Guam, Palau, and the Mariana Islands were all assigned to the Viceroyalty of Luzon, and after the agreement to buy the territory of Sri Buddha in Borneo, the entire Borneo was divided into the Viceroyalty of Boni. All the remaining islands actually occupied by non-sovereign states in Southeast Asia, including the huge island of Irion, were assigned to the Viceroyalty of the Spice Islands. Later, the whole of Australia, including the islands of the South Pacific, was designated as the Viceroyalty of the New World (the blank area on the area was for exploration, and if new land and islands were discovered, detailed information would need to be submitted by the Imperial Geographical Society before they could be printed on the map). The known but unpublished atlas has already been arranged).

Each administrative region shall allocate seats to the Senate (renamed the Senate) according to the number and quality of population and cities, one seat for large cities with more than 200,000 people, one seat for every million population in each province, autonomous region, overseas territories directly under the Central Government, and colonial satrapy with a population of less than one million, and at least one seat for less than one million. This group of people is the real power of the country, with the highest legislative and decision-making powers. Each committee of the Senate is a technical department that reconsiders and votes on each bill that is within its purview. Members of parliament may be officials at or above the provincial level, nobles of the rank of hereditary or minor, nobles of the rank of earl for life, vice-presidents of important trade associations at the national level, businessmen of the rank of above, or members of the Imperial Academy.

Although these four identities can all become senators, and some people also have several identities, but according to the rule of re-electing one-third every ten years, I don't know if I can stand out among hundreds of high-ranking officials and nobles in this life and become a councilor, the colonial governor must be a councilor, but he can't return to China several times a year, and the result of staying away from the central government is that it is impossible to become a standing member of the various real power committees working in the central government all the year round, and his influence in the empire is naturally far less than that of the bigwigs in the central government.

In fact, the right to elect members of the Supreme Council has always been in the hands of the 15 members of the Supreme Council, who have been away from the central government for many years, but are engaged in teaching, scientific research, management, and management in their respective fields of indulgence, but this supreme power has always been firmly grasped in their hands. The emperor was just a puppet, and at most he sat on the throne in the hall as an audience at every meeting, and he couldn't go to the Senate a few times a year, and every time he went, he was in response to a scene. As long as the State Council and important decision-making meetings are convened, the crossing crowd is absolutely a veto, although not every time there is a crossing crowd to participate in the voting, but there is a sitting in the venue, and the core of the meeting is around the issues he emphasized. The high-ranking officials and new aristocrats of the various political axes departments were the family political elite of their students and their relatives or partners, and it would be suicidal to monopolize power under such a power structure.

Zhang Jun's biggest hope is that he will retire as a member of the Standing Committee of the Real Power Committee, which is equivalent to the level of the former Song Zheng Sanpin. It can be said that the power is in the hands of the people, but the collective leadership is equivalent to the spire of the pyramid of power being cut into a platform, and the former Song Dynasty Duxiang became the public minister (a bunch of governors and privy council affairs, the power was dispersed a lot, and the power structure of the empire after the founding of the People's Republic of China suddenly transitioned to a modern political structure, and it was the people who held the decision-making power and the parliamentarians they designated, and the technical officials who did things step by step for life), what about now? A committee with real power is equivalent to a previous secretary or a prime minister who is responsible for the allocation of resources in related fields, and a very powerful minister is generally the status of a standing committee member of this committee (the chairmen of these committees with real power are all concurrently held by the public), and they have far more power than ordinary technical officials of the same level.
