As the founder of the country, Li Zhen has supreme rights. To put it bluntly, if Li Zhen does not abide by the system of separation of powers, the whole system will collapse. Even though Li Zhen just began to comply with it, so that the system worked, and even the rest of the systems were established, Li Zhen's authority would not decline, and he could still mobilize the army and destroy the established system.

This is the right of the founder of a nation.

There is no doubt that Li Zhen has this ability.

What Smith is worried about is that Li Zhen holds on to the power, and all the efforts will be in vain.

Li Zhen smiled and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, I can abide by this set of rules." I don't call myself emperor, but I look for ways to build other countries, just to keep our country running for a long time. As a leader, what you have is not the power that the leader has, but the responsibility, the responsibility on your shoulders. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "I can say without exaggeration that I am now a person standing at the top of the country, with the greatest power, and I want to be windy and rainy. However, I was under the heaviest pressure. There are tens of thousands of people in the country, and many of them do not even have enough to eat and clothes to wear. What I want to do is to feed the people who are facing hunger, so that the people will no longer be threatened by hunger; Let those who are not warm have clothes to wear. ”

Smith was in awe and said, "Lord Wang, you are a great man!" ”

Li Zhen laughed at himself and said: "This doesn't apply to me, I, like you, am an ordinary person, a big living person of flesh and blood." It's just that we stand from different angles, you are a general in the army, and you are thinking about fighting, while I am the commander, and I have to consider various issues. As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own politics, and you will have your own responsibilities when you get to the point where you are now. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen shouted: "Come on, invite Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and others!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers outside were ordered to arrange it immediately.

Li Zhen and Smith negotiated some of the rules, after all, they wanted to formulate rules that were in line with their own national conditions.

Soon, Huang Shihai, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Zhao Liewen, Huang Qiang, Liu Jintang, Lu Shaochuan and others all gathered in the hall. In addition, Shi Dakai, Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng and others also gathered in the hall.

Everyone saluted Li Zhen, and then sat down separately.

Li Zhen's gaze swept over the people present, and after making sure that everyone had arrived, he spoke: "In the past two days, how many people have learned about the rest of the national system?" ”

The crowd was silent, with different expressions.

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Since you don't say it, I will order the generals." Lu Shaochuan, can you tell me? ”

Lu Shaochuan stood up and smiled, scratched his head and said, "Lord Wang, I'm just a big old man, I don't know anything, and I don't know many words." To study the systems of the rest of the countries, the first thing to do is to read books. With my ability, let alone reading, it is difficult to read. Especially when I'm sleepy with a book, don't embarrass me, it's harder than killing me. ”

Li Zhen laughed, a smile appeared on his face.

This guy really didn't think about it.

Li Zhen rolled his eyes, and then asked, "Huang Shihai, what about you?" ”

Huang Shihai said: "Lord Wang, I asked someone about the situation in the UK. Britain has a monarch and a parliament. I think you can take the British way. If you are the monarch of China and then set up a parliament, it is the same as running the country, and it is difficult to have a situation of dominance. ”

Li Zhen shook his head slightly, disapproving of such a way.

For his descendants, Li Zhen did not want to give them such preferential treatment.

If you have the ability, you can fight for it yourself.

After Huang Shihai finished speaking, Li Zhen asked Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Zhao Liewen, Shi Dakai and others. Almost none of these people have studied the American polity. In fact, the United States is not strong, it is just a newly established country, which has not attracted the attention of these people, and most people are concerned about countries such as Britain, France, and Italy.

As it happens, these countries have monarchs.

Li Zhen continued: "What you think about is not perfect, you have to do it thoroughly, and there can be no residue, otherwise you may resurrect one day." I'll let Smith tell you a little bit about the state of government in the United States. I think this is the most appropriate. ”

Li Zhen has the experience of the previous life and knows that the United States is a superpower.

A key reason for a country's survival is whether the country's political system is stable. If the country is often in civil strife, and there is often a disorder of power, there is certainly no chance of rising. The United States can become a superpower, and its political system must have certain merits.

Therefore, Li Zhen chose this way.

Smith stood up and bowed slightly to everyone present.

It was only then that Smith elaborated on the model of government in the United States.

He began with the duties of the President of the United States, then spoke about the powers of Congress, and then the powers of the Supreme Court. After these three were elaborated, Smith spoke: "The advantage of such a separation of powers is that it checks and balances each other, and can greatly curb the overflow of rights of either party. In addition, the term of office of the president is limited, only eight years, which can limit the rights of the president. In my opinion, this is the best option. ”

Zeng Guofan frowned, shook his head and said, "I think the term of office is too short, and it is difficult to show my ambitions. I think the timing could be adjusted slightly. Eight years as a stage, no more than two terms. Sixteen years is not too long, nor is it too short. Suppose a person is in power at the age of forty and nearly sixty years later in sixteen. ”

Smith retorted without hesitation: "Sixteen years is too long, and a person being in one position for a long time is not conducive to the development of the country." ”

Li Zhen interjected: "I agree with Smith's statement, eight years is too long. In my opinion, it is a five-year system. The duration of one term is set at five years, and the duration of two terms is ten years. Even if he ascended to the throne at the age of fifty, he would only be sixty years old after two terms. ”

Such a number of years is Li Zhen's reference to the system of his own motherland in the previous life.

Five-year system, there is some truth to it.

Smith nodded and said, "I agree with what the prince said, you can do what the prince says." ”

Lu Shaochuan asked: "Smith, when you just talked about the United States, you mentioned that the president of the United States called Washington, who was once allowed to serve as president for life, but he only served two terms before stepping down. Our prince is still young, I think the prince can also be for life, what do you think? ”

Smithton choked, but he recovered immediately and said, "Theoretically!" ”

A sentence that is theoretically feasible on the surface echoes Lu Shaochuan's proposal, but in fact it still does not support the tenure system. Because of the tenure system, there are too many flaws, which is not conducive to the operation of the country.
