The third is the new system of deliberation between the two houses, which is a new issue caused by the transfer of financial power, and it is also a continuation of the further development of the tax system in the Anglo-Chinese country.

In the more than 40 years since the founding of the country, the development of the tax system can be roughly divided into three stages, the first stage is to establish a large and medium-sized industrial and commercial tax base with the company as the main body, plus Shanghai tariffs and colonial, financial, military and other monopoly undertakings, with indirect taxes as the mainstay, the principle is to grasp the most active part of the economy, and use this as the financial foundation to complete the initial construction of the founding era.

The second stage was to complete the construction of the tax division system between the central and local governments after the recovery of Jiangnan, and to expand the tax base to most of the large-scale industrial and commercial entities, as well as all economic fields, leaving only agriculture, small industry and commerce, and part of the land as the local tax base. At this stage, some direct taxes began to be introduced into the tax system, such as excise taxes on luxury goods such as gold, jewelry, and cigarettes.

After the unification of the Northern Expedition, it entered the third stage, coupled with the background of the issuance of paper money, with the help of an increasingly perfect financial system, the growth of direct taxes became more and more rapid, and the State Administration of Taxation was specially subordinate to the Ministry of Commerce and the Economic Planning Institute from this background.

Marked by the emperor's personal election, when the emperor controls the finances, the game of the national tax system is the emperor and the two courts, especially the Western Court and the Financial Federation, and the political hall has little say. Now that the financial power belongs to the prime minister, and the prime minister appoints and dismisses the prime minister, it is necessary to adjust the original game layout.

The power of the prime minister is not good for the time being, so the two houses will be split to ensure that they will not easily exchange interests and become one. As a result, after the two houses lost the right to elect the prime minister, a wide river ran between the two houses. The legal powers of the two chambers have been opened, but they have their own emphasis on decision-making powers.

The Western Court is examining and approving the tax increases and reductions and the amount of tax increases and decreases approved by the East Court. and the right to make special resolutions on tax-related bills, which must be passed by two-thirds of the votes to be effective. The Eastern Court enjoys the same treatment in examining and approving the allocation of the state budget and related bills passed by the Western Court, and in other cases it can be passed by a simple majority.

As a result, the Anglo-Chinese and Chinese houses have formed a new pattern. The Western Court has more say in deciding how big the national financial plate should be, and decides how it should be divided. The Eastern House has more to say.

In order to ensure that the special decision-making power based on finance ensures that the two chambers check and balance each other, and that the various legal powers outside of this pass through the two chambers, in order to ensure that the contradictions are not pressed between the two chambers and the two chambers pass the buck to each other, in addition to all the financial powers of the prime minister, a adjudication mechanism is also introduced, with the grand court as the final adjudicator. If there are any more surprises. It was the emperor's turn to come forward.

Among the more than 1,000 people in the Central Pole Hall, more than half of the affairs of the two houses are in the house, and the reason why the new system of parliament and government has been successfully passed is that everyone's battlefield has now shifted from the political hall and the two houses to the political parties, and this resolution will be written into the national constitution, and the legal power has not only been expanded, but also has been expressly prescribed by the national constitution. Naturally, everyone will not get entangled in the existing interests under the old pattern.

The fourth major change was the political party system, and the final result was that as long as there were 10,000 officially registered candidates, they could become the political parties participating in the election of the prime minister, and the recommended candidates for the prime minister would be included in the list of candidates for the Election House. Enjoy a number of elective benefits. This includes the introduction of official newspapers, the distribution of election materials to all parts of the country through official posts, and publicity work based on the prefectural court.

The debate around the party system is more intense than the election of the prime minister for a new system, and everyone can see that the political party can not only lead the change of the prime minister, but also the change of the two houses, and the future Anglo-Chinese national political pattern is the change of political parties in power. How to ensure that the party struggle is fair and just, orderly and courteous, so as not to burden the people and disrupt the country, all parties are thinking like a spring, and the questions raised are one tide after another.

The emperor's admonition before the Great Council became the backbone of the party's contention, and everyone agreed to a strict review of the party's program and constitution, the party's organizational activities, and the party's funding sources, and the concept of "building the party for the public" was implemented in a series of review articles. Anyone who has an unclear source of funds, engages in secret activities, or violates the Anglo-Chinese Constitution and the righteousness of heaven and earth will be classified as "party crimes." …,

The non-party administration of the government is a major principle emphasized by many party members who know that they can only live in the opposition, so the bill to give the press more freedom and improve the French language soon became the draft article of the bill.

These four new systems were finally embodied in the form of the Imperial British Constitution, which was a sublimation of the specific French "Imperial British Constitutional System" under the previous national constitution. As the fundamental national constitution of Yinghua, that is, the "Imperial British General Constitution", it will be expanded to "Imperial British Righteousness", "Imperial Imperial Constitution", "Imperial British Constitutional Constitution" and "Imperial British Political Constitution".

At present, the "Imperial Constitution" is still a draft, and because of the great changes in the political system, the provisions of other parts of the general constitution must also be adjusted accordingly, so the general council decided to hold a general meeting again within the year after the draft and the general constitution have been perfected, for final confirmation, and after the emperor signs and approves it, the political constitution and even the national constitution will be fully implemented.

Prior to this, it was also agreed that the Political Parties Decree could be introduced in advance to allow sufficient time for political parties to brew and to prepare for the election of the prime minister. During this period, a provisional cabinet was formed by the prince's ministers to maintain the operation of the country.

During the whole discussion, some details of the debate, and how the discussion overcame these disputes and finally reached a resolution, made Diderot, who was on the sidelines, deeply moved.

For example, in the new system of selecting the prime minister, it is determined that the election of the prime minister by the county court is the product of compromise, and one faction advocates that all the candidates be directly elected, so as to ensure that the prime minister is in the right position and can convince everyone. The other faction advocates that the election should be made by the affairs of the National Council, so that the people and money will not be wasted and the many troubles of direct election can be overcome. The two factions are almost evenly matched, each with its own interests in hand, and it will not be easy to reach this compromise.

But there are still many questions that have been raised, including practical difficulties, and the issue of fairness.

These problems are difficult to ignore, more than 2,000 county-level units in the Anglo-Chinese country (including counties under the direct management of the local provinces, as well as the states of the trusteeship), distributed in most of the world, separated by tens of thousands of miles, and it takes half a year for the news to go back and forth, how can we have time to complete the selection work?

In addition, the population of each county is different, for example, the counties under the jurisdiction of Lingnan, Jiangnan, Shuntianfu (Tokyo), and Chengtianfu (Nanjing) have a population of millions, and the selection density is much higher than that of other counties, while each county in the two provinces of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, Mobei and Southern Desert, and Liaodong generally has a population of only tens of thousands, and there are fewer candidates. Some of the Overseas Trust Territories are still a single township. Why can they have the same ticket as the big local county?

The practical problems are more difficult, but several compromise suggestions have been put forward, and there are solutions.

The first point is to use technical means. Advisors from the Tendo Academy presented the latest research achievements in the field of telecommunications, including the initial exploration of lightning telecommunications, while further development of railways and sea vessels will also help overcome distance barriers. An additional bill was passed for this purpose. We urge the state to invest more in relevant technologies, and at the same time call on talented people in the private sector to contribute more efforts to solve these problems as soon as possible.

After the completion of the railway network, the local traffic problem has been basically solved, and the trouble lies overseas. Even the ultimate sail clipper, and the steam clipper, which is supported by the coal station system, takes three months to travel to and from Dongzhou and Nanzhou. There is also a good chance of an accident on a seagoing vessel. In addition, the overseas states are far away, and it takes half a year to summarize the election results of each state and then return to the mainland.

Ensuring the integration of overseas and local countries is the consensus of all those who participate in the discussion. Although there are few overseas people, the land is vast and the products are abundant. It is a place of the future that accommodates the native population, and it is the hope of the future. The officials of the General Council even cited the current situation of the American colonies of Spain and Britain as examples, and explained the serious problems brought about by the central government's neglect of colonial interests, so no one dared to ignore overseas.

Around this problem, the Great Council proposed a series of solutions. The first is the establishment of the "year-selecting" system. Prime Minister is elected for five years. At the beginning of the fifth year, the selection period begins, and the overseas territories need to be selected six months in advance. And remote areas in the country can also be advanced to the corresponding time. …,

Even if the election period is advanced, it is difficult to completely solve the problem, so the general meeting also put forward a temporary method, and the southern and eastern continents will first implement the continental election system, that is, the continental (equivalent to provincial) councils will be elected. When the technical means are mature and the distance barrier can be overcome, it will be integrated with the mainland, so as to solve the time problem of the election results of the states under the summary of the Nanzhou and Dongzhou.

On the third point of fairness, the consensus established by the Great Council is that the British and Chinese prime ministers are in charge of the government in order to uphold the great righteousness of the British and Chinese people, and the prerequisite for the general righteousness is to ensure the unification of the British and Chinese.

The Anglo-Chinese region is vast, and there are many differences in various places, and the main problem faced by the prime minister in governing the government is to balance the geographical differences, not according to the number of people. Just like Dongzhou, but it has a population of 200,000 in three continents, but the region is remote, and the government has its own unique needs, so they are not allowed to be equal to the local county in the election of the prime minister, what will they think? Do you feel like you're one with the people?

This principle has already been embodied in the selection of the Western Yuan, which is determined by the number of people selected, and the Western Court is determined by the province and trusteeship, in order to ensure that the industrial and commercial tax system and other legal powers related to economic development can be leveled together. After all, the core of these legal powers lies in regional differences, which determine economic differences, and the size of the population is only a reflection of regional differences.

Of course, there are many people who oppose it, which also shows that this policy is not absolutely fair. For the local densely populated counties, one million people and 10,000 people are the same ticket, which is indeed a bit incomprehensible, and these counties are still economically developed areas.

This problem cannot be ignored, but the direction of the big discussion is not to give preferential treatment to the local densely populated counties, and under the dispute of all parties, everyone has compromised a smart solution: to expand the selection group.

Previously, the qualifications for selection were adult males over 20 years old, graduated from primary school, and had a place to settle, a certain amount of property or a stable job, plus the original nobility in Tibet and Mongolia (this is also a compromise). It was decided to liberalize the family property and work in the standard.

At this time, it has not considered lowering cultural standards, and even allowing women to be selected, after all, in this era, "selection" is "Shi" in everyone's mind, and Shimo not only needs to have a certain culture, but can only be a man. But in the foreseeable future, as political parties compete, the selection criteria will be relaxed step by step.

In sparsely populated states and counties, the increase in the number of people is very obvious, while in densely populated states and counties, because the base is too large, the proportion of election growth is relatively small, and the gap between the two parties has narrowed, from the previous one-to-one hundred to one to sixty, which is relatively fair.

Diderot didn't pull down the agenda for nine days, he was like a sponge, greedily absorbing the wisdom of the game that permeated the discussion.

"I vaguely saw the light of Britain's Magna Carta more than 500 years ago. But unlike Britain, the Seris have infiltrated this spirit into everyone's heart. You see, whether it is an elegant scribe or a wealthy merchant with jewels. Whether it is an ordinary person from a civilian background or an official with eight faces, even if the quarrel is red-faced. I didn't think about quitting or giving up, but I firmly believed that they could come to an agreement. Even if it is a gap that can never be bridged. They also know how to reconcile with each other from the side, from the other direction, how do they do that? Is it just the righteousness of Cyris, and the authority of the emperor? ”

Diderot sighed with emotion, and habitually thought of his own homeland: "There is absolutely no such meeting, such a change, in France. The king and the bishops clamored for the eradication of all dissent and heresy, and the radical liberals clamored for the king to be put on the gallows and the bishop to be hung on the cross. The nobles caught in the middle either sat on the wall and watched, or pretended to be high, thinking that they could stay out of the situation. ”…,

Lu Shengdi has also heard enough of Diderot's complaints in the past few days, especially the criticism of the French liberal literati, and he sighed: "Denis, this is Seris, not France. His Majesty the Emperor sees himself as the one who leads the way to a new era. Imperial power is only a light that he uses to illuminate the eyes of the world. There is no greedy and hypocritical church here, and the Temple of Heaven is as ubiquitous as air, but it is only concerned with the morality of the world. There is no aristocracy here, at least not the kind of aristocracy that Europa has. The idea that everyone is equal does not need to be an ideological revolution like Europa to be recognized. In Seris. The idea of equality for all people has been ingrained in the hearts of the people for thousands of years. As for the wisdom you saw in the Great Council to overcome differences and reach consensus......"

Lu Shengdi also sighed deeply, "These wisdoms are not something that can be possessed by understanding the righteousness of heaven and earth, nor is it suppressed by the authority of His Majesty the Emperor, but the people who participated in the great discussion have already experienced a hundred battles, and they have already understood such wisdom in practice." Our intellectuals (as he is accustomed to calling himself) can not only become officials and govern local government affairs by virtue of the imperial examination, but also by being elected as parliamentarians to supervise and participate in governance. ”

"There are imperial examinations, there are elections, as long as they are willing, as long as they are able, our intellectuals in Seris can participate in politics at any time. It is the educational dream of our Seris that everyone becomes a scholar, and it is the political dream of Seris to let people from all over the world participate in politics. You have also seen this discussion, these two dreams are not ethereal, and they are approaching step by step. ”

"Officials and parliamentarians, as long as they are involved in politics, can understand that overcoming differences and reaching consensus is the only way to succeed. In order to succeed in their term of office, to be re-elected, and even further, they can only continue to negotiate with all parties, coordinate the interests of all parties, and come up with a plan that everyone can agree on. This kind of wisdom has been tempered from the lowest level of the township lord Bo, or the township affairs. ”

"Our Seris people measure a scholar by his resume and achievements, so everyone involved in this big meeting, whether it is an official or a councilor, most of them have come up from the grassroots level step by step. They have extraordinary experience on this thorny path, and such wisdom will never be lacking. Our sages Ceris once said that the unity of knowledge and action is that it is by virtue of this wisdom that they can implement the great righteousness of the heavens, and the great righteousness of the heavens can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of our Syris, and we must also rely on this wisdom to do things. ”

Lu Shengdi also turned to his former homeland, and sighed deeply: "Denis, don't criticize French thinkers and liberal intellectuals so harshly, the reason why they are vain, emotional, and radical is because they have never had the opportunity to participate in politics. They can only choose which ways to pour out their passion, they want to change their country, but the country does not give them the means to participate, they do not give them the real power to participate in politics......"

Diderot pondered for a long time, and said in a deep and sad voice: "So whether it is the evil of the present or the evil of the future, the culprit is the king and the bishops, right?" Shire ...... No, knowing the truth (Lu Shengdi's word), will France fall into hell? ”

Lu Shengdi recited a poem from nowhere: "The end of the region is heaven, and the gate of heaven will never open until blood and corpses fill the region." ”

"The Grand Court has ruled that this decree is not contrary to the righteousness of heaven and the great righteousness of heaven and the Anglo-Chinese constitution, and His Majesty has also signed it today, and the "Political Party Order" has been ...... Pass! ”

At this time, the crown prince Li Kezai, on behalf of the emperor and the court, announced the passage of the "Political Party Decree", which marked that the drafts of the Great Council would also enter the stage of improvement. As the hammer sounded, the hall resounded with enthusiastic cheers, and the court, officials, judges, advisers, and even the newspaper people all excitedly threw up the papers, and the white papers fluttered one after another, filling the entire space like snowflakes, like a heavy snowfall in a good year.

Lu Shengdi also ignored his advanced age of more than eighty, jumped up from his seat, brandished his crutches, and twisted the northern Yangge that Diderot had never seen.

In the midst of this heavy snow, Diderot suddenly thought of the history of the founding of Seris, and he sighed, under today's achievements, there are the blood and tears of the past forty or fifty years, and under these blood and tears, there is also the tragic history of Seris's fall into barbarian slavery a hundred years ago. Sure enough, if you don't reach the end of the land, you won't see the light of heaven. RS
