307 Constituent Assembly (I)
At the beginning of 1780, after six years of traveling through this time and space, a vibrant country has been established, and at this time, the high-level political figures of the Tang Republic have gathered in the capital Los Angeles from their respective places of duty, because in February, a conference will be held here to determine the future political fate of the Tang Dynasty and the new national system.

Although Bai Nan has been far away from the power center of Datang for nearly a year, the holding of this conference has indeed been brewing for a long time, and he is very clear about it. From the time when the Tang Dynasty met the Spanish explorers, he hurriedly gave himself the name of a country, to the current successive defeats of the British Qing Dynasty and rapid development, it is obvious that the old state system can no longer meet the further growth of the country.
The country of Datang is now essentially a republic with the crossing of the masses as the core of the country, the dictatorship of a few elites and the unity of immigrants from the Qing Dynasty, Indians and other minority groups. Under the current system, there is basically no political circulation mechanism in this country, although the Tang Republic has a mechanism for the evaluation and selection of civil servants, but when it comes to the center of power, this series of systems becomes vague and inapplicable.
Although most of the people do not feel that they have much to do with the politics and destiny of a country, but with the implementation of education and the strong sense of national consciousness, it is obvious that they will have more expectations for the country and more dare to express the idea of national development, just like the modern people in the crowd.
Some members of the Cabinet have reached retirement age. Or wish to leave their current position. Someone wants to keep climbing. Some people want to retreat bravely, and the same situation is the same for the ministries and local organs below.
President Zhao Daling believes that Datang cannot wait for problems to arise before making changes, and that a new national system of government must be established as soon as possible. As a time-tested political figure, born under the theoretical education and training of our party, Zhao Daling, together with the cabinet, solicited public opinion extensively. A major reform is being prepared. His idea is supported by the vast majority of cabinet members, middle- and high-level officials, and politically minded representatives, although there are also some people with different political views who disagree. However, this wave of people is relatively marginalized because of their small numbers and lack of political influence.
Sitting in the president's office, Bai Nan asked with a hint of a smile, "So, what is the final name?" ā
"The Datang Revitalization Party, I think it's called a republic, democracy or something, it's too much like the Westerners. It's not like us at all, but it's too left-wing. It is not enough to fully express our situation, and some comrades of the Republic of China are still a little sick about this, new immigrants, aborigines and even the Ming Dynasty people all agree with the simple and positive words, so the final name is such a name. Zhao Daling smiled leisurely.
Bai Nan asked, "How is the work of forming the party?" Do civil servants join the party? ā
Zhao Daling replied: "It can't be regarded as either, but more than ninety percent of civil servants, middle and high-level cadres and military officers of state-owned enterprises have submitted applications for joining the party and have been approved, but there are exceptions, such as Xue Yue, who has made it clear that he will not participate in the revitalization of the party for the rest of his life, and he is ready to set up a new party, positioned as a democratic party participating in politics." ā
Bai Nan was slightly worried: "There won't be any mess, right?" ā
Zhao Daling shook his head and said: "Xue Yue can still be trusted, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an old fox, he understands very well what our country needs, and he did not establish a political party to participate in the political process." It is said that Ji Ru's group of people co-opted him, and Xue Yue didn't pay attention to them at all, and Xue Yue didn't pull Liu Fangwu and others in the army into it, and he didn't lobby anyone in the cabinet. ā
Bai Nandao: "Ji Ru's troublemakers, I'm afraid they will also take advantage of the situation." ā
Zhao Daling smiled with a little smugness: "You don't have to worry about this, our Ministry of Security has cracked a major conspiracy case before, and Niu Bin has investigated their group." One of the main promoters, who used to be your neighbor, Han Jun, has been sentenced to life imprisonment, deprived of political rights for life, and has been sent to a prison on Pekaku Wei Island to serve his sentence. He and Ji Ru even have a leg, Niu Bin found out, Ji Ru is very active in giving to her body in order to envelop her group, but she herself advocates sexual freedom, so it is also a normal thing. In this blow, we took a total of forty or fifty people, which can be regarded as a cancerous tumor. ā
Bai Nan was pleased: "This is also to escort our conference, saving the situation later." ā
Zhao Daling nodded, and said: "However, there is also a clean person who holds the same political views as Ji Ru, Han Jun and others, and admires the universal set of the West, named Wang Hongxi, an intellectual of the Republic of China, who is said to have been very close to Hu Shizhi's group before, but he is very literati, and he doesn't look down on Ji Ru's group." We didn't hold on to him this time, he basically just liked to say something on his own and didn't do anything else. Niu Bin said that Wang Hongxi may try to form a party by himself in the future, but it is still very difficult, and it will not form much strength. ā
Bai Nandao: "The scholar rebelled, it won't be successful in ten years, if you can unite, you will unite, I don't see that there are many people in our country who have such a universal head." ā
Zhao Daling snorted and said: "That's right, the meaning of the cabinet is also like this, this person has not violated the law and committed crimes, we can't deal with him casually, if he is honest, although he is a **********, it is harmless." ā
The situation has been basically determined, and the Datang Revitalization Party, which was organized by Zhao Daling, will become the sole ruling party of the Datang Republic, and will practice democratic centralism by imitating some of the experiences and achievements of the previous period. The Revitalization Party will extensively absorb the elite forces in the country and always maintain its advanced nature and representativeness. From the perspective of positioning, the Revitalization Party is a left-wing and centrist party, with nationalist tendencies, attaching importance to fairness and justice, and emphasizing serving the broad masses of the working class.
In modern parlance, the Tang Revitalization Party is not pure red, but a pink party that has led the Republic by leaps and bounds.
After that, the revitalization party played a role in decision-making and leadership, while the small parties involved in politics mainly supervised and discussed politics. In fact, it will implement a "vertical democracy" form of government, that is, a political system that combines top-down and bottom-up centralization, bottom-level democracy.
Cho Daling himself will serve as chairman of the Revitalization Party and as the next president. Revitalize the Party National Congress as the highest organ of power, discuss major issues, revise the Party Constitution, and elect decision-making committees and disciplinary committees.
The decision-making committee, in fact, is the highest decision-making body and central organ within the party, with a total of 20 members, and at the same time, the decision-making committee will have five permanent members, whose public offices are the president, vice president, speaker of the National Assembly, president of the House of Councillors, and secretary general of the National Council. The Disciplinary Committee is responsible for discipline inspections within the Party.
Paek Nam himself will also be a member of the Revitalization Party's Decision Committee and one of the non-permanent members.
Since we want to centralize power at the top and democracy at the bottom, we need a complete set of methods for handling affairs. The cabinet will abandon its career of both executive and legislative affairs, and the legislative power will be formally given to the National Assembly of the Tang Republic, which will have a total of 66 seats, nominated by the Election Committee, indirectly elected, and whose main function is to carry out legislative and administrative supervision. All members of Congress are full-time delegates, with their own dedicated offices, and they need to meet regularly to listen to the opinions of the grassroots and organize their own bills.
Major bills on the executive side will also be submitted to the National Assembly for deliberation after being completed by the National Council. However, this is a relatively formal one, and since the Diet also has a clear nature of the Revitalization Party, it is generally impossible to be shot unless there are extremely controversial bills and projects.
The Tang Congress does not have the power to pass a motion of no confidence in the government, so it is fundamentally an antagonistic relationship between the executive side and the legislative side.
As for the power of the Senate, it is relatively limited, and its main functions are political consultation advisers, democratic supervision, and participation in politics, with a total of 38 seats in the Senate, which are also nominated by the Election Committee and indirectly elected.
Broadly local, Datang also has a state council and a state council, a county council and a county council. And when it comes to the qualifications of electors, the Cabinet has more considerations, so more restrictions are set. First of all, voters must be at least 25 years old, male or female, have no restrictions on personal assets, but have at least a primary school education, or have a certificate of completion issued by a literacy school; Second, after obtaining Datang nationality, new immigrants and aborigines need to have lived in Datang for at least 10 years, be proficient in Chinese and Chinese characters, and continue to be free of criminal discipline in order to obtain the right to vote.
Therefore, according to the 800,000 nationals with nationality in Datang (Guwei has not obtained national status for the time being), less than one-sixth of the people actually have the right to vote.
What is more peculiar is that because many immigrants and indigenous people have already made great achievements in the country, the election committee did not set the number of years of residence when promoting election candidates, but only set an age limit. But obviously this will be adjusted later.
There is also a situation that because many colonies have not formally established counties, or the population is very small, there is no representative body at the county level, for example, although Luan Zhou has several colonies, the population of the entire state has not yet reached 20,000, so Luan Zhou only has a state legislature with fewer seats, and there is not even a senate.
For most places, this reform has little impact on their local government, mainly in Los Angeles. (To be continued.) )
