Zhu Youzhen stroked the white porcelain cup, "Lord Chen, Xia Guan was appointed by His Majesty to come to Nanyang to inspect the provinces this time, Lord Chen, as the governor of Lanzhu Province, what do you think about the future of Nanzhu?" In other words, how does Lord Chen plan to govern Lanzhu Province? What other difficulties do you need the assistance of the imperial court? ”

"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan ...... "Chen Da didn't know what to say for a while, Lanzhu Province is full of things now, and the rhetoric he prepared last night is not needed at all now." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Youzhen saw that Chen Da was not like an official oil, and he was quite satisfied, so he decided to change the topic and asked little by little, "Lord Chen, has the provincial government of Lanzhu been established?" ”

"If you return to Lord Wang, in the current Lanzhu Province, except for ordinary people, that is, merchants, they have no experience in managing local governments at all, and the lower officials have only been in office for a short time, so they ......"

"Lord Chen, what are the merchants and the people afraid of? Isn't Lord Chen a businessman himself? Zhu Youzhen was dissatisfied, "Lanzhu is an autonomous province, unlike the provinces in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court will not send officials to Lanzhu, everything depends on you." ”

Chen Da's hands were already trembling a little when he stroked the porcelain cup, "What does Lord Wang mean, all the officials of Lanzhu are all served by the personnel of Lanzhu Island?" He jumped from a businessman to the governor of Lanzhu Province, he was already a little on thin ice, but he didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to come more directly when he conveyed the will of the imperial court, and the imperial court would not send officials to Lanzhu, such a way of management, he was unheard of, of course, he was directly promoted from a businessman to the governor, in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, it was also unthinkable.

"That's exactly what Your Majesty meant," Zhu Youzhen thought for a while, "Zheng Zhilong shouldn't have said that to you, it's not too late to know now, let's talk about the official design of Lanzhu Province." ”

Chen Da felt that all the words prepared last night were in vain, "Lord Wang, this ......"

"Oh, Lord Chen may not know that Your Majesty is for Lanzhu Province, but ...... But racking his brains, he wants to create a brand new Lanzhu, which is completely different from the provinces in the interior of the Ming Dynasty," Zhu Youzhen had to impose his ideas on the head of "Your Majesty", "The design of the officials of Lanzhu Province is also different from that of the mainland of the Ming Dynasty - Lord Chen, with the design of the officials in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Chen should not be qualified to be the governor, right?" ”

"Lord Wang......" Chen Da decided to listen to the words of this Lord Qincha first, His Majesty's thoughts, he didn't understand at all, "According to Lord Wang's opinion, how should this official of Lanzhu Province be designed?" ”

"The design of the officials of Lanzhu Province is the same as that of the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, there are similarities and differences," Zhu Youzhen knew that Chen Da had no experience in later generations, so he had to show up to preach, "The same place is in the arrangement of officials, Lanzhu Province takes the governor as the highest civil governor of a province, and below the governor, compared with the inland provinces of the Ming Dynasty, set up police, taxation, finance, industry and commerce, education, and transportation departments to manage the public security, taxation, payment, industry and commerce, national education, road construction, etc. of a province. ”

Although Chen Da has been a businessman for many years, he can still see these contents clearly, but he found that Zhu Youzhen seems to have missed an important link, "Lord Wang, does Lanzhu Province want to set up a department of prosecuting and prosecuting envoys and commanding envoys?" ”

"Lord Chen should have left the Ming Mainland for some days, right?" Zhu Youzhen asked with a smile, "The five northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty have abolished the Department of Procuratorial Envoys and set up courts, and the five central provinces and the five southern provinces are also implementing them. ”

"That'...... Lord Wang, the lower officials are stupid, and what is the difference between the procuratorate and the court? ”

"That's what I'm going to say, one of the differences between Lanzhu and the mainland," Zhu Youzhen took a sip of tea and sorted out his thoughts, "I'll talk about the difference between Lanzhu and the inland provinces first!" ”

Chen Da bowed his hand to Zhu Youzhen, "The lower officials are listening!" ”

"First of all, the governors of the interior of the Ming Dynasty are all appointed by the imperial court, but the governor of Lanzhu is elected by the people - isn't Lord Chen elected by the local Han people? This was the first time, mainly elected by local merchants, and it would be perfected in the future, established in the form of a law, and the imperial court would also send officials to supervise it. ”

"Xiaguan understands!" Chen Daxin said, if it weren't for the recommendation of the businessmen, as a businessman, I wouldn't be the governor of Lanzhu at all!

"This is the second...... It is also the most important one," Zhu Youzhen paused for a moment, "Lord Chen, in the future of Lanzhu Province, how many prefectures do you need to set?" ”

"Lord Hui Wang, since he took office, Xia Guan has surveyed many places, and with his usual understanding, Xia Guan is preparing to set up four provinces in the north, Kuching, Siwu, Baga, and Balu, with Kuching as the capital; the establishment of Pontianak in the west; In the east, there are two prefectures of Tara and Sanma; In the south, a government of Machen was established, a total of eight provinces. But ......"

"But what ......"

"Lord Wang, now in the southern and eastern regions, there are very few Han people, and the prefectures and counties in these places will be afraid of ...... for a while."

"Lord Chen's consideration is very thorough, in the southeast region, the prefecture and county are difficult to establish for a while, and there is no police to maintain law and order, so it will be handed over to the South China Sea Fleet for the time being," Zhu Youzhen knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but when Zheng He went to the West, the Ming Dynasty established a huge prestige in Borneo, and it was more appropriate to leave this matter to the South China Sea Fleet, "As for the places where prefectures and counties are established, each prefecture is elected by the local people to have three councillors, and all the councillors form a provincial council. ”

"Councillor? Parliament? Chen Da was puzzled, "Lord Wang, what do parliamentarians and parliamentarians do?" ”

"The parliamentarians enjoy the benefits of Lanzhu Province, and the parliament usually mainly formulates some laws, and at the same time supervises all officials, including the provincial governor, and once the officials have illegal events such as embezzlement, the parliament can impeach and even remove the officials."

"Recall?" Chen Da's face changed slightly, "Lord Wang, in this way, is the power of the council too great?" ”

"This, Lord Chen don't worry!" Zhu Youzhen knew the reason for Chen Da's concern, "The main responsibility of the parliament is to formulate laws and supervise the implementation of laws by the provincial government, as for supervision, impeachment, and removal of officials, certain conditions need to be met, for example, seventy percent of the parliamentarians agree before the governor can be impeached or dismissed," Zhu Youzhen also gave Chen Da a reassurance, "Of course, if the provincial governor thinks that the parliamentarians have collectively broken the law, he can also dissolve the parliament and let the provinces re-elect members to form a parliament." ”

“……”

"Haha," Zhu Youzhen laughed, "This is a bit complicated to say, it's just that Lord Chen hasn't seen it, in the future, we must first formulate corresponding laws, and all things will be done according to law, and Lord Chen will see it clearly," Zhu Youzhen added, "Of course, these laws need to be reported to the imperial court and approved by the imperial court before they can be implemented in Lanzhu Province!" ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands!" Of course, Chen Da understood that Lanzhu was a province of the Ming Dynasty, and Lanzhu's laws naturally had to be approved by the imperial court.

"Let me talk about the court," Zhu Youzhen wanted to promote the separation of powers, "The president of the court, like the provincial governor, is also elected by the parliament, but the court exercises judicial power independently, and neither the provincial governor nor the parliament can interfere, which is consistent with the system in the interior of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Don't hide it from Lord Wang," Chen Da smiled wryly, "the lower officials are a little ...... It's a little confusing. ”

"Haha," Zhu Youzhen also smiled, "When I convey His Majesty's will, I say too much, but it is not easy to understand, so let's put it simply." ”

"Listen to the officials!"

"The parliament elects the governors and the presidents of the courts, and usually exercises the power to make laws, plus to supervise the wrongdoing of all officials, and if the officials are law-abiding, the parliament has only the power to legislate."

"Xiaguan somewhat understood."

"The president of the court is elected by the parliament, and once elected, he exercises the right to judge independently, and neither the governor nor the parliament can interfere, and the judge will be impeached by the parliament unless he or she has committed wrongdoing."

"What about the governor? What are the powers of the governor? This is what Chen Da is most concerned about.

"The provincial governor exercises civil power independently," Zhu Youzhen took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "All the civil power of a province is exercised independently by the provincial governor, and the directors of the police, taxation, finance, industry and commerce, education, and transportation departments just mentioned are all directly appointed by the provincial governor, but they must be approved by the parliament. ”

"Why should it be endorsed by Parliament?" Chen Daxin said, isn't this depriving the governor of civil rights?

"There is only one provincial governor, and sometimes it is inevitable that there will be bias in appointing and dismissing officials, and the parliament is composed of many members, and they have a deeper understanding of officials," Zhu Youzhen also has to allocate the powers between the provincial governor and the parliament, "Of course, if the parliament opposes the person proposed by the provincial governor, there must be sufficient reasons, and they are not allowed to put forward their own candidates, and if they oppose the candidate proposed by the provincial governor, the provincial governor can nominate them again." ”

“……”

"The governor, the president of the court, and the parliament have different powers, and the scope of their respective jurisdictions is also different, but the three supervise and restrain each other, and will not form a situation in which one family dominates Lanzhu."

"Supervise each other and restrain each other?"

"Yes, for example, the provincial governor, after being elected by the parliament, enjoys civil power independently, but he cannot be lawless," Zhu Youzhen glanced at Chen Da meaningfully, "Once the provincial governor is corrupt, the parliament can impeach him, and the court can also try it." ”

"This ......" Chen Da blushed half of his face, "Xiaguan...... The lower officials still felt that the power of the council was too great. ”

"Rest assured, the parliament cannot be lawless either," Zhu then explained: "If a member of the parliament is corrupt or has selfish interests, the court can try him, and if the governor thinks that most of the councillors have various problems, he can dissolve the parliament, and all the councillors will lose their money and new councillors will be elected by the provinces." ”

“……”

"As for the court, you don't need to say it in the next one, right?" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Lanzhu is far away from Beijing, all your officials are not sent by the imperial court, only by supervising each other, serving the people together, and focusing on the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court and His Majesty will rest assured - in fact, this is also to protect yourself, with supervision, no matter who is elected as an official of Lanzhu Province, he will not, and he will not dare to do that corrupt thing!" ”

"In this way, the lower official has been taught!" Chen Da stood up from his seat and bowed to Zhu Youzhen and bowed deeply.

"Haha, why does Lord Chen have to be like this!" Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and sat down for Chen Da, "Of course, Lanzhu Province is the Lanzhu Province of the Ming Dynasty after all, and the imperial court will also send personnel, either openly or covertly, to assist Lord Chen in supervising the officials of Lanzhu Province!" ”

"Xia Guan understands that Xia Guan himself will be honest and will not ruin the reputation of the imperial court!"
