At a time when the British were paying attention to Li Weiguo's illegal banknotes and the development of the navy, Li Weiguo devoted all his energy to the large-scale construction of the Liaoning-Zhongnan Industrial Base, and for this reason he personally inspected the Kanto region, designed the first phase of the Liaoning-Zhongnan Industrial Base by the Governor of Fengtianxinggong, and personally inspected the construction of various construction conditions.

Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the measure of a country's strength was the production of steel and coal. The latter is to dig coal directly from the ground, and the greater the production, the better, but it is not yet a key criterion, because it is also possible that large-scale mining is only for export, and if it is not used for domestic industrial construction, then it does not belong to the standard of a strong country.

However, the smelting output of steel can prove the country's industrial strength standard, the higher the output, the more steel factories in the country, the larger the scale, the more industrial power the country is.

During this period, Li Weiguo did several major events that caused a sensation throughout the country and the world.

On July 1, 3967, Emperor Li Weiguo of China reviewed and signed the No. 35 Imperial Decree, which approved the report on the construction of the national system jointly submitted by the six ministries and the General Staff.

According to the report, China restored the system of three provinces and six ministries from July 1, 3967, implying that the Han and Tang dynasties would first be restored in terms of system and re-emerge as the world's largest power.

Li Weiguo made this decision after careful consideration, he knew that there are three main systems in the future world, the first place is the British-style constitutional monarchy, the majority of the powerful countries, the advantage is that the longest duration, the most stable rule, the disadvantage is that the emperor is unified but not governed, there is no real power, and the national cohesion is average; The second place is the American-style presidential system of separation of powers, and there are many powerful countries, which has the advantage of a long duration and relatively stable rule. The disadvantage is that the government agencies are too harsh on each other, the opinions are not unified at the critical moment, and the national cohesion is the weakest, which is easy to cause the government to shut down; The third is the North Korean-style personal **** style, there are very few strong countries, the disadvantage is that the continuation is relatively short, the rule is relatively unstable, and it is easy to be isolated by the world, but the advantage is that at the critical moment, you can quickly gather all the strength of the country and concentrate on doing great things.

Combine these three scenarios. The first is obviously the most in line with Li Weiguo's personal and family descendants, which is the best choice, and the staff does not recommend Li Weiguo to completely delegate power, because once Li Weiguo decentralizes power, New China will inevitably cause civil strife because of the power struggle, and no one can suppress those founding heroes except Li Weiguo.

At the same time, what Li Weiguo is most looking forward to in his heart is the new China of the future, which will be both a republic and can concentrate on doing great things. Just look at its tremendous achievements, and if we cannot concentrate our efforts on great things, we will never be able to get rid of the enslavement of the Western powers. However, the problem is that Li Weiguo does not have an organization and program of his own, and once the latecomers are replaced by others, they will not be able to continue Li Weiguo's ideals and aspirations. It would be bad if the direction of the new China was changed, unless Li Weiguo used the power of his life to directly turn China into a super empire that will never decline, but unfortunately it is not realistic to never decline.

Ultimately. Some ministers talked about the evolution of various systems in the world from the Han Dynasty to modern times, pointing out that different times and different national conditions require different systems, and in general, they are all a continuation of the three provinces and six ministries system of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Li Weiguo's eyes lit up, isn't the three-province six-ministry system the American version of the separation of powers, but the three provinces have become three powers, the six ministries have become other departments, the imperial power has become the president, the succession to the throne has become the presidential election, and the succession of the royal children has become the inheritance of members of the dang faction.

The crux of the problem lies in the issue of the lifelong system of imperial power, if it is a Ming monarch, even if it is just inaction, it will not cause harm to the country, and unless it becomes a faint monarch, it will cause national turmoil. The presidents of later generations are elected within the party, and the members are all internally determined, and there are the same inactive people and the waste who have been recalled, as long as they are replaced in time.

Li Weiguo suddenly figured out the key to everything, so he made the wisest decision in history, adopting the system of three provinces and six ministries, and the original legislative, judicial, and executive powers were replaced by the legislative, judicial, and administrative ministry.

The Legislative Ministry has the highest body, the National Assembly, which consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. When the emperor is considered by the House of Representatives and the people of the whole country to be a faint king, the Senate can depose the emperor by a two-thirds majority, and the House of Representatives and the people of the whole country elect a new emperor from among the members of the direct royal family; The deposed emperor can regain the support of the people and be elected as the new emperor;

The term of office of the Emperor was twenty years to ensure the stability of the imperial regime and the effective implementation of various policies, and to avoid the waste of national resources caused by the termination of construction projects due to the short period of time; The emperor is re-elected every twenty years, and the emperor is nominated by the Senate, recommended by the House of Representatives and more than 50% of the citizens of the country to produce a new emperor; The emperor can be re-elected indefinitely;

The House of Representatives is elected by the citizens of all provinces of the country in proportion to the number of people in the country, and no three or more organizations and groups with direct interests are allowed to be elected at the same time. A two-thirds majority of the House of Representatives can veto a decree issued by the Emperor, but the Emperor has the right to issue the same decree again, and the House of Representatives may only veto a decree issued by the Emperor a maximum of three times a year, but may apply to the Senate for an increase in the number of vetoes or to remove the Emperor.

Judicial officials appointed by the Emperor are subject to approval by the Ministry of Legislation. The Ministry of Justice has the highest judicial body, the Supreme Court, which can declare the Emperor's decrees unconstitutional and laws passed by the Legislative Ministries unconstitutional. The administrative province represents the largest administrative structure, and the highest body is the Forbidden City and the Emperor's Cabinet of Responsibility, which produces the Prime Minister. The emperor could veto laws passed by the legislative provincial parliament, as well as appoint the highest judges and ministers of the judicial branch of the judicial department.

In short, although the separation of powers has been changed to a three-province system, it is still a relationship of mutual checks and balances between the powers, so as to avoid the excessive concentration of power in one department and the harm of dictatorship and corruption.

Of course, the three-province system is only in the experimental stage, and in fact, the current imperial government does not have a senate, so there is no situation in which members of the imperial family impeach Li Weiguo, which is equivalent to allowing Li Weiguo to concentrate military and political power, and the three provinces and six ministries still have to obey Li Weiguo, the emperor.

As for Li Weiguo's descendants will be subject to the imperial senate, it will not be a problem at that time, because until then, Li Weiguo will strictly formulate the imperial constitution and use his vision for the future to restrain future generations from making big mistakes. Therefore, there is no such thing as the founding heroes bullying Li Weiguo's descendants after Li Weiguo's death, because before that, the founding heroes either died of old age and illness or were recuperating in their old age, and it was impossible to "go crazy" anymore.

Li Weiguo knows very well that in times of peace, if there is a personal dictatorship, it will inevitably lead to civil strife, but in times of war, it is necessary to have a wise personal dictatorship leader to lead the country to strength, and this is the inevitable law of history.

Obviously, the world today will be in turmoil for fifty or sixty years, and it is destined to always need Li Weiguo's strong rule.

This first major event was accomplished by Li Weiguo, although it caused a considerable degree of sensation, mainly because the common people were shocked to learn that the emperor could rise up to depose this law if he was mediocre.

It's been thousands of years. There is only one way for the common people to depose the emperor, and that is to rebel and change the dynasty.

But now that there is a legal weapon, the common people will not be fed and have nothing to do to choose the way of rebellion to remove the faint king, no one likes to fight, because the most injured are only the people themselves, so they can remove the faint king by peaceful means, and the people are very supportive.

This peaceful way of deposing the emperor, in turn. It will also ensure the continuation of the Li dynasty, after all, the removal of the emperor is not a change of surname, or a descendant of the Li royal family, which avoids the change of dynasty. Ensure that the descendants of the Li family do not have to worry about the common people overthrowing them by violent means, or even exterminating the clan.

Li Weiguo has completed the restructuring, and the next step is to appoint officials, which is a major event that is really related to the interests of all parties. It must be done well, and the rewards and punishments are clear, otherwise hidden dangers will be left.

The first generation of seats in the National House of Representatives were divided according to the states and provinces of the country. At this time, China had 30 provinces, 2 prefectures, 17 autonomous territories, and 10 governors.

Zhili Prefecture: Gyeonggi North Zhili Prefecture (Beijing Municipality), Gyeonggi South Zhili Prefecture (Shanghai Municipality);

Provinces: Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangbei (north of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu), Jiangnan (south of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu), Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Taiwan (Taiwan Island and the surrounding islands of Diaoyu), Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan (including Changsha, Qianli Shitang, Zengmu Dark Sand, etc.), Gansu, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Yili (Xinjiang), Shengjing (Liaoning), Jilin, Heilongjiang, Outer Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, Western Xinjiang (Tibet), Qinghai, Eastern Xinjiang, Alaska;

Dominions: Ryukyu, Burma, Nam Chang (Laos), Cambodia, Lan Phong (Dutch East Indies), Lee Joseon, Annam, Siam (Thailand), Gorkha (Nepal), Je Manghung (Sikkim), Bhutan, Kokand, Kazakh, Burut, Buhar, Shank, Aiukhan (Afghanistan);

Governors: Governors of the East, Governors of the West, Governors of the South, Governors of the North, Governors of the Northeast, Governors of the Northwest, Governors of the Southwest, Governors of the Southeast, Governors of Zhili, Governors of Overseas;

Among the provinces, the eastern frontier was a territory for the sake of Tsarist Russia, Alaska was purchased from Tsarist Russia, and among the autonomous territories, only the Ryukyus, Burma, and Nanzhang officially declared their acceptance of China's autonomous territories, and the other vassal states did not recognize it because of their concerns for the time being. As for Lan Fang, it had been destroyed by the Dutch, but the Netherlands did not publicly announce the annexation of Lan Fang before 1895, and Lan Fang was still subject to the vassal state of the Qing Empire before the destruction of the country, so it was still legally a self-governing territory of China.

Of course, this is also an excuse deliberately left by Li Weiguo in law, an excuse for the Shence army to open up a battlefield in the south.

As for the 10 governors, they only serve the army, because the replenishment areas of the troops of the 10 theaters are in the provinces of the theater, and the governors are responsible for coordinating the affairs between the governors of the provinces and ensuring the normal operation of the army. At the same time, Li Weiguo also wanted the army to occupy some seats in the House of Representatives, which could not affect the voting results of the House of Representatives, but could express the voice of the army, so that the imperial court could understand the situation of the army and make the army develop more healthily.

In this way, the House of Representatives will produce 108 seats according to the proportion of population and the size of the economy, according to the 30 provinces, 2 prefectures, 17 autonomous territories, and 10 governors, of which only 3 of the 17 dominions will be appointed by the local king, and the other 14 will be directly appointed by the emperor temporarily.

The next step is to elect seats in the local chambers of the provinces according to the number of prefectures, prefectures, population ratios, and economic size.

Finally, there are the officials of the central court and the top administrators of each locality.

In the selection of officials, Li Weiguo still continued the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, the title system, and the military rank system of all dynasties.

At the central level, Li Weiguo appointed Li Hongzao as the minister of justice, and the official residence is Zheng Yipin, Wu Yingdian University Scholar, and Feng Xiangshan Bo, and the former Korean Military Minister Shen Guifen and Baoding Prefect Shen Zichun are respectively vice ministers of the legislative province, and the official residence is from Yipin and Wenhuadian University.

Among them, Li Hongzao followed Li Weiguo the earliest, erudite and talented, and proficient in the law, so he would naturally be put in the first position by Li Weiguo, and was awarded the highest honor in the civil service, Wuyingdian University Scholar, and the title of Xiangshan Bo, which can be described as extremely honored, showing Li Weiguo's gratitude to him.

As for Shen Guifen, he was capable and an important figure in the Qing school, but he was only an old minister of the former dynasty, and he surrendered to Li Weiguo after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, so Li Weiguo only reused his ability, so he was appointed as the vice minister of the legislative province. It is intended to show the former ministers of the dynasty that as long as you have the ability, you will be appointed, highlighting that Li Weiguo is a generation of bright and heroic lords and open-minded. And Shen Zichun is different, he is just the prefect of Baoding, Li Weiguo knows that this person is very good at studying the law, and can be called the Taishan Beidou in the legal world in the late Qing Dynasty, so the intention of promoting and attracting capable newcomers is very obvious.

Next, Li Weiguo appointed Weng Tongyi, Sheng Yu, Wang Renkan, Zhirui, Wen Tingshi, Huang Shaoji, Ding Lijun and others as the chief and deputy officials of the Supreme Court, the Supreme Procuratorate, and the Supreme Procuratorate of the Ministry of Justice.

Then there were the officials of the six ministries and 24 divisions of the administrative ministry, such as Shang Shu and the left and right squires, and Li Weiguo followed the same criteria for selecting and employing people, and tried his best to take care of the interests between the new and old members and the talented members.

Among them, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Criminal Department and the Ministry of War are the departments that Li Weiguo attaches the most importance to, Fu Xuexian is the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Pan Zuyin and Li Ciming are the left and right servants, and there are the Department of Officials (Personnel Department), the Department of Sealing (Labor Department), the Department of Honors (Welfare Department), and the Department of Meritorious Service (Performance Department);

Wang Kaitai served as the secretary of the ministry, Zhou Fu and Pan Zuyin were the left and right servants, and there were the Department of Household Affairs (Civil Affairs Department), the Department of Degree Branch (Audit Office), the Department of Finance (Department of Finance), and the Department of Warehouse (Logistics Department);

Chen Jingnan was transferred to the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Li Ciming and Wang Yirong were the left and right waiters. It consists of the Criminal Department (Police Agency, Traffic Department), Customs Supervision Department (Prison Department), National Security Department (Homeland Security Bureau), and Customs Department (General Administration of Customs);

Wu Yong served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Xiaoliu and Lin Jiyun served as the left and right attendants of the Ministry of War. It consists of the Department of Military Affairs (Ministry of National Defense), the Department of Driving (Military Command Department), the Department of Staff (General Staff), and the Department of Treasury (Logistics Department).

As for the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Fu served as the secretary, assisted by Chen Baochen and Zhang Peilun, and consisted of the Department of Rites (Ministry of Education), the Department of Ancestral Halls (Meteorological Bureau, Geological Bureau), the Department of Catering (Ministry of Health), and the Department of Administration (Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

The secretary of the Ministry of Industry was transferred by Li Hongzhang, assisted by Huang Tifang, Deng Chengxiu and others. It consists of the Ministry of Industry (Construction Bureau), the Tuntian Division (Ministry of Agriculture), the Yu Department (Land and Resources Bureau), and the Ministry of Water (Water Conservancy Bureau).

The officials of the six ministries were all carefully selected by Li Weiguo, and they were all talented and virtuous people, which was a very good start for New China, indicating that on the road of China's great rejuvenation, there will be a national team with firm ideals and beliefs, excellent quality and ability, and first-class work standards, and under the leadership of Li Weiguo, it will lead the Chinese nation to quickly embark on a prosperous world of prosperity, democracy, and civilization.
