Chapter 768: Election Chaos
After the number of seats in the upper house was decided, the election of members of the House of Commons began in various places. According to the rules, the House of Commons is also nominated by local councillors and then sent to the Central House of Commons. And this House of Commons is the representative of the local electorate, and this election of members of parliament also feels quite trendy for everyone. Because since ancient times, officials have been in power, and there is no need to consult with the local people. Perhaps some county officials will be subject to the local gentry, but the idea that the whole world is not the land of the king has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and from any legal principle, they will not be allowed to supervise the government. For any order of the government, it must also be carried out unconditionally. And now that I heard that I could supervise the officials, it also made many people feel excited.
And in Shandong, some places have even started to discuss what exactly is the local council election?
"Official, is it possible for anyone to elect this councilor and then become an official? How many officials is this councilor? Someone asked.
But immediately someone explained: "This councillor is not an official, but a person who represents the common people from among the people and supervises the officials." And whatever the officials want to do, they must also get your consent, otherwise they will not be able to carry it out. ”
"That's not an officer, but what is the overseer? Isn't this a matter of the Imperial History? And the imperial history is also an official, if it is not an official, then what about our supervisor? ”
The civil servant was speechless, these ancient people still thought that it was necessary to supervise the subordinates from above, and there must be officials to supervise the officials. And this is also the practice of China since ancient times, using officials to supervise officials, and using bureaucrats to supervise bureaucrats. However, this situation has little effect, after all, everyone is a bureaucrat, and they are all representatives of the interests of the same class, so it is naturally difficult to achieve accurate supervision. This is also the origin of the protection of officials and officials. What's more, the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't be mixed in the imperial history position all their lives, right? They also have to worry about what will happen if they are transferred to other positions and when they give you small shoes? So the royal historians are really like what is said in a certain pigtail play, "dare not be angry", which is also true. Moreover, the ancient idea of supervision was not to supervise for the people, but for the emperor. They are not responsible for the people. It's the emperor. These imperial histories are the dogs raised by the emperor, and then they are responsible for helping the emperor and high-ranking officials bite people, not for the people.
And this has also caused ordinary people to think that the necessity of supervising officials is also officials, where do ordinary people dare to supervise officials?
"You can now elect representatives to oversee officials, and this is a constitutional power given to you." The civil servant said.
"What is the Constitution?"
"The constitution is also my Yanhuang Empire, which determines the nature of our country, the political system, the power to which it belongs, and the composition of various departments."
"What is the nature of the country. What is the form of government? Doesn't all power belong to the emperor? ”
"Our Yanhuang Empire is a constitutional monarchy, although the emperor can decide some things, but not everything. The nature of the country is that our country is a unitary state, and the form of government is a constitutional monarchy. ”
"What is a constitutional monarchy and what is a unitary system?"
“……”
This civil servant was really going crazy, and these people asked questions one by one, and as a result, the civil servants in charge of propaganda almost fainted. After asking such a series of questions, so that these civil servants finally found that they didn't seem to know much about them. Ask them one by one. It made them feel like they were all dizzy.
And this is also the reason why the so-called popularization of law is not in place, if it is a person who has experienced middle school in later generations. Then you can say these things basically correctly, and you can understand what a constitutional monarchy is, what a state is, what a form of government is, and so on. And now these civil servants have to explain, and then too many terms are things that these mainland people don't understand, and as a result, they are almost blindfolded.
"This was ordered by the emperor. Implement a constitutional monarchy, and then the people have the power to supervise officials, so as to ensure the integrity of officials, so that officials do not protect each other. The civil servant finally said.
And the people finally "understood" and said, "It turns out that this is the emperor's grace." It's because the emperor doesn't trust the officials, that's why he wants us to supervise it! It turned out to be the emperor's benevolence and the emperor's sage! The emperor allowed us people to supervise the officials, so we are the emperor's people! ”
"Hey, after talking for a long time, did you know that it would be okay to just say the emperor directly?" The civil servant touched his head and said.
The common people of this era did not have the consciousness of fighting for their own legitimate interests at all, and they were even accustomed to obeying the management of their superiors and then obeying the orders of officials. And this situation will have a great remnant until later generations, after all, China's official-based thinking is too serious, so it is not so easy to solve. Even many people don't think about protecting their own interests at all, and even subconsciously think that officials are all officials protecting each other. And in fact, this is a matter of consciousness. If the people of the whole world know that they want to fight for their legitimate interests and dare to defend their legitimate interests, then will such a small number of corrupt officials still dare to mess around? If the people of the world dare to stand up, it will be those officials who feel trembling. It is precisely because too many people dare not stand up to defend their legitimate interests, or they simply do not understand that they can stand up to protect their legitimate interests, that they are bullied by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
"Then how many money can this councillor have?"
"There is no money, only transportation and food subsidies for meetings. Only those who hold certain positions in Parliament are eligible for a post allowance. But this parliamentary position, not an official, understand? And the term of office is two years, and after two years, they will be re-elected, and if they are not elected, they are still ordinary people. And they can only be re-elected three times in a row, and once they serve more than three consecutive terms, they will not be able to participate in the election for the time being. ”
"So what's in it for this councillor? And if you don't have a regular salary, how can you live on this? ”
"The parliamentarian is not an official, let alone a means of making a living, but just a part-time job of yours, who takes the initiative to make suggestions to the government on behalf of the people and take the initiative to ask for the people's lives. You are mainly doing your own thing, not relying on it for a living. ”
"Can I run right now?"
"No, we have to carry out a political aptitude test, and only if you pass the exam can you be eligible to become an official and be eligible to run for various public offices, including parliamentarians."
"Then I'll go to the exam now!"
And when these civil servants gather a group of people who are interested in running for office, and then come to the place of the unified political ability test, and then prepare to take the test. And these exams came in batches, and then the previous batch just finished the exam, and then the next batch of people were also sent in for the exam. And this test is actually not complicated, many of them are judgments of daily life, and there are also basic knowledge of Chinese and mathematics, at most it is just some daily political common sense. And if there are none of these things, then how to be a good parliamentarian who "asks for the people's lives"?
And soon, a group of people were invited out, and then the list of people who passed the exam was announced. And this is a few happy and some sad, some people feel very happy after pain, and some people feel very depressed when they don't, and even some people feel wonderful.
"I won, I won, I didn't expect that I was also hit by one of the shopkeepers? Can I become an official in the future? ”
"No, you are only qualified to be an official, but whether you can be an official depends on whether you can be admitted to the civil service. Being qualified doesn't mean you're an official, understand? ”
"Huh? Then I'll go and add it right away, and try for me to take the exam as an official, and then I won't be this shopkeeper who is angry all day. ”
But the other person immediately said angrily: "Why can't I? A shopkeeper can pass, so why can't I? Why? Why! Back then, I was also a lifter, and I couldn't even lift a person? I'm a dignified person, why can't I even be as good as a shopkeeper? I'm a lifter! How can a shopkeeper compare with me? ”
Although Wang Guorui has abolished the imperial examination and replaced it with a more advanced and scientific civil service examination. And those "academic qualifications" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have all been abolished, and they are replaced by the academic qualifications of primary school, middle school, university, etc., which are newly released by Wang Guorui, and primary and secondary schools are also divided into junior high school, high school, junior high school, high school, and so on. After university, it is divided into master's and doctor's degrees, etc., which are all new academic models, and they are no longer the kind of talents that were shown in the past.
But some poor and sour talents still can't get used to this situation, and they put their own scores all day long. And when they heard that there was going to be an election for parliamentarians, they thought they were officials. But they have to take this political aptitude test, so they all come to take the test. As a result, a large number died. Many people who see "cheap jobs" in the eyes of those who read can actually pass the exam, so of course they are not convinced. This kind of slut has passed the exam, so shouldn't they be more qualified to show off their talents? But reality slapped them in the face.
"If you haven't taken the test, go and come back next year, and then reflect on where you lost, don't envy others."
The man tried to make trouble, but was forcibly blown away by the police who were in charge of guarding the surrounding area.
The civil servant in charge of the invigilator scolded: "You guy, what about lifting people? It's a complete nerd, you have learned useless things in your stomach, you even miscalculated thousands of digits, and people like you have problems in their own lives, and you still expect you to be able to ask for the people's lives? ”
It's a pity that there are not a few "readers" who have learned a belly of eight-strand texts, and in the end they haven't even learned basic mathematics well, and they can't pass this exam at all. On the contrary, he can speak well on weekdays, and has been in contact with a lot of account calculations, not only the language has passed, but also the mathematics has passed, plus some daily contact with other people's lives, familiar with various situations in life, so a shop has passed, that is, those who are out of touch with a lot of social "readers" have not passed.
