Hearing this, the village chief thought to himself: "There are really too few far-sighted people in the army!" It's easy to fight the world, it's hard to keep the world, and it's even more difficult to keep the world. There is a lot of recklessness in the army, if everyone acts casually, disturbing the people and hurting money, then what they do is no different from that of the Yuan army, and the city they have conquered will not be lost sooner or later. In today's troubled times, what is lacking is not a reckless man, but a person who cares about the world! ”

Seeing everyone's reaction, the village chief knew in his heart, he slowly took a sip of tea, and patiently explained to everyone: "No matter what everyone's opinion of the military advisor, but the ability of the military advisor to lead the army and manage the people is obvious to everyone, can there be such a talented person in the army?" Even in our entire Fujian province, there are very few people with such ambitions as military advisors. ”

"If you think about what the military advisor has done in the past, is it for your own enjoyment? He was strict with all the officers and soldiers, and that was to maintain the combat effectiveness of our army and ensure that we had a stable rear. His arbitrariness shows that he has confidence in himself, and his strategy has long surpassed yours. And he recruited talents from all walks of life, and passed on his ancestral recipes and techniques to them, any of which was worth at least the wealth of a few county towns, and his purpose was to obtain strong military support for the army. I'm sure it won't be long before everyone sees results. The military advisor has long had the overall situation in mind, but we are still doing the heart of the villain. This position of commander is really none other than a military advisor. ”

If Zhang Guanghua, who was squatting in the small black house at this time, was present, he would have hugged the village chief's thigh and shouted: "Those who know me, the village chief is also!"

Seeing that everyone was moved, the village chief continued to strike while the iron was hot and said: "There are still everyone's worries, it is completely superfluous, since Gu Xiucai rebelled for three years, although everyone is ostensibly controlled by the military division, but the military power is still in the hands of General Li, and the strategic layout and governance of the people are all trivial matters, and it is better to hand them over to the military division." And you only need to go into battle to kill the enemy, accumulate military merits, and wait for the world to be peaceful in the future, can you still make a difference in seeking a wife and a son? ”

……

In the evening, the exhausted Lu brothers and other Zhang Guanghua's subordinates finally found the whereabouts of the military division with the help of General Li's personal guards.

It turned out that when the Xianyou City was breached, a group of "Yuan Army" who escaped managed to kidnap the headmaster when they learned that the military advisor would go shopping without guards. They locked the military advisor in a courtyard in the suburbs, preparing to torture him about the specific military information of the rebels, and then dedicate the information and the head of the military division to the thousand households on Quanzhou Road to invite merit. But fortunately, these evil people were reported by the righteous villagers, and at this time they were under siege by the pro-guard army.

When everyone rushed to the outskirts, they just saw the back of the "Yuan army" fleeing in embarrassment, while General Li's personal guards were unscathed and extremely powerful, fully demonstrating the combat effectiveness and military might of our righteous army. Everyone opened the wooden door of the firewood room in the corner of the courtyard, and sure enough, they saw that the military advisor was blindfolded and firmly tied to a wooden stake.

That night, Zhang Guanghua, who was rescued, did not go back to the mansion with Lu Yishan and them to rest, but went to the barracks to talk with General Li, General Lu, and Village Chief Li all night. No one else knew what was going on that night, except that the candles had been lit all night.

At the command post, Zhang Guanghua, who had just been rescued, was sitting in the first seat and sipping tea, while Li Da and Lu Guangfu were sitting on the left and right with embarrassed expressions. Before the village chief invited Zhang Guanghua to the first seat and told him the news that the soldiers had been led by him in the afternoon, he sat aside and closed his eyes without saying a word. After a short period of embarrassment, Zhang Guanghua still opened his mouth to break the silence. In fact, after being captured, Zhang Guanghua vaguely guessed the reason, and even thought of the first time he was kidnapped. In addition to his anger, he also deeply reflected on himself, he has always wanted to promote the progress of society according to his dream of modernization, but he forgot that the ancients are different from his own ideas, and he has always thought about how to achieve a democratic republic, but everyone's concept is still stuck in monarchism. It's my own rush.

It was false to say that he wasn't angry when he had just determined the reason for his capture, but now was not the time to dwell on that.

"How do you think we can make the country prosperous, and how can we make every citizen live a prosperous and happy life?"

Li Da and Lu Guangfu didn't expect that Zhang Guanghua didn't blame them first, but asked such a question, and they looked at Zhang Guanghua with a surprised expression.

"Of course, the monarch is wise and patriotic, and the ministers try their best to govern the country." The village chief opened his eyes at this time and answered for Li Da and the others.

"Well, the village chief is right. Then let me ask you, since the Qin, Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, which dynasty was not the founding of the country, but in the end, the monarch was mediocre and incompetent, the ministers were corrupt, and the people were not happy. Why is that? ”

Seeing that the three of them were speechless, Zhang Guanghua began to ask and answer himself: "The monarch is a generation of saints, but can you ensure that your descendants are also conscientious?" The courtiers are virtuous for a generation, but can they ensure that future generations can be as loyal as him after the hereditary inheritance? The founding monarchs and ministers all knew that the world was not easy to come by, and they should do their best. But future generations are born to enjoy everything, without going through hardships and dangers, how can they know how to cherish it? Of course, there will be a splurge. Now everyone is hungry and righteous people are rising, is it just because of natural disasters**?! ”

"Actually, this idea, this system, it was all wrong from the beginning."

"Then strategist, do you have a better countermeasure?" At this time, Li Da, who was completely subverted by the concept of loyalty and patriotism, asked.

Hearing Commander Li ask, Zhang Guanghua finally smiled and said, "Yes! The state, in the final analysis, is the state of all the people, and it should be governed by all, and the way to do this is a parliamentary republic. What is a Parliamentary Republic? It is to form a parliament by electing a number of capable representatives from among the scholars, and then electing the most outstanding person in the parliament to be the prime minister. The country is governed jointly by the Prime Minister and in collaboration with the Parliament. The members of parliament and the prime minister of the country are not for life, but are elected every five years, and they are renewed every time. ”

Seeing that everyone was thoughtful, Zhang Guanghua continued: "The country is not without an emperor and a monarch, the emperor can be hereditary, but he cannot manage the country, he can only supervise hundreds of officials in the world, and whoever does not do well will be impeached." But the emperor can't be impeached casually, and which practices of hundreds of officials are worthy of impeachment should also form clear regulations, and everyone in the world can see it. I will call this a law called the National Code (Constitution), which regulates the duties and powers of the Emperor, the statutes of the Parliament and the Prime Minister, and the powers and limits of the various officials to govern the country. All the operation of the state must be based on evidence and have rules to check. Whoever dares to corrupt and oppress the people will be condemned by the whole world. ”

"In order to prevent the infighting among the ministers and the phenomenon that the people cannot sue the officials, we cannot let the parliament and the prime minister decide everything in the country, they should only be able to govern the country. And the prisons, the law-making, and the military should be independent. The prime minister did not have the right to change the law, and the people could sue the officials or even the emperor in the criminal law department, and as long as the law was met, the sentence should be given. In addition, in order to prevent someone from seizing power, the national code should stipulate that soldiers cannot participate in politics, and the army can only be used as an existence to conquer the frontier and defend the country, let alone oppress the people at will. ”

"In short, it is the monarch who supervises the country, and there is a separation of powers between the state (executive), the legislative, the criminal prison (judicial), and the army. In order to command the four powers, we can also set up a prime minister, this prime minister is just like my current commander, I can order Commander Li to send troops to attack Dehua County, but in fact the army is still your army, and it is up to you to decide how to send troops. The prime minister can manage the four powers, but he cannot hold them. In the end, Zhang Guanghua also made a joke to Commander Li.

After listening to Zhang Guanghua's description of the "constitutional monarchy", Li Da and Lu Guangfu are still slowly understanding and digesting it. But the village chief has already begun to draw inferences from each other and ask Zhang Guanghua: "Then can the emperor let the person who made the greatest contribution to the founding of the country be responsible, can Li Dalai be the person, can be Lu Guangfu, or you can be the person." And no matter who becomes the emperor, it doesn't really matter, the whole country will run under the provisions of the law, and no one can disobey it? ”

"What the village chief said is very true! This was the so-called society of the rule of law, under which all people, including the peasant family and the emperor, were equal. Therefore, the most important thing in such a country is the law, and the most fundamental law of the state is the "National Code" that describes this state system, which is also the most fundamental legal code of the state, and no one can violate it, including the emperor. Seeing that the village chief was about to get through, Zhang Guanghua also replied very happily.

"The National Code is really ingenious. If the country can really be governed according to law, it will not be difficult for the country to prosper for all generations. And when the law is not perfect, it can still rely on legislation to continuously improve and progress. This method of governing the country is simple and effective, and it is a good way to govern the world that can be applied everywhere! At this time, the village chief was already talking to himself happily, like a child who had received his favorite toy.

In fact, half of his life has been witnessing the decline of the Yuan Dynasty and the increasingly difficult life of the people, and he also wanted to change the world, but he has no choice but to find a feasible way for most of his life. At this time, I found that Zhang Guanghua's new concept completely solved my own problem, and now there is a great opportunity for myself to realize this concept, how can I be unhappy.

It was not easy to ease the mood, and the village chief said to Zhang Guanghua with a smile: "I really can't think of anything that can challenge you!" You can even think of such an ingenious method. I must improve this "National Code", and it seems that it will be time to discuss it with you in the future. ”

Hearing the village chief's heartfelt words, Zhang Guanghua was also smiling, and he had a big boost on the road of reform.
