Chapter 241 Work Report
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to the meeting. ”
Ouyang Yu, who had just sent Azrael away, was sitting on the sofa and was interrupted by Matilda's contemplation.
"What time is it?"
"At 9:43, there were only more than ten minutes left before the cabinet meeting. ”
"Then let's go. ”
Ouyang Yu got up and took Matilda out of the living room, got into a special bulletproof car, and arrived at the newly completed Capitol under the protection of the Wild Rose team.
The Capitol is a new building that was launched last month, and it is also one of the new landmarks in Chang'an City, Ouyang Yu's Chinese Federal Government is a semi-constitutional monarchy, and Ouyang Yu, as the head of the Federation, only controls the army, manpower, education, Scientific research and finance, the rest of the cabinet is all in charge of the cabinet, the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person is responsible for the formation of the cabinet, in addition to the cabinet specifically responsible for government affairs, there is also the upper house, which is responsible for legislation, and the members of the upper house are composed of the old and new nobles in the country, Ouyang Yu did not wipe out all the old nobles before, many nobles who were willing to hand over their land were arranged by her to serve in the House of Lords, this is also a transaction between Ouyang Yu and the old nobles, the old nobles handed over the land, Ouyang Yu gave them land compensation and a certain amount of participation in the government, and there were not many old nobles who were really sent to the labor camp。
In addition to being responsible for legislation, the House of Lords also has the right to supervise the Cabinet, and if there is anything wrong with the current Cabinet, the members of the House of Lords can put forward a motion of no confidence and submit it to the House of Lords for discussion, and if the discussion is passed, it will be submitted to the Prime Minister to instruct the Cabinet to make rectifications, and the Cabinet must obey the orders of the House of Lords, but the approval rate of the motion of no confidence must be greater than 75 percent. That is, two hundred and one members of the House of Lords. The consent of 151 Members is required. Generally speaking, if you want to achieve a 75% approval rate, there must be something very serious wrong in the cabinet, so as to avoid those trivial things in the House of Lords to harass the cabinet and disturb the normal work of the cabinet, in addition, the House of Lords has no right to supervise everything Ouyang Yu does, even if she does something wrong, she can only put forward reference opinions, and cannot ask her to force corrections, just mention it. Members of the House of Lords are appointed for life and must be of nobility.
In addition to the House of Lords, the Federal Government also has the House of Commons, which has a larger number of members, the House of Commons has 751 seats, and the identities of the members are more complex, including merchants, farmers, workers, and artists, and these members serve a term of ten years, can be re-elected for two consecutive terms, and are elected locally, representing the interests of the local general public.
The main role of the House of Commons is also to oversee the work of the Cabinet. Because from all walks of life and localities, where is there something that the cabinet and the government are not doing well. If the proposal is agreed by more than half of the members, then it will be discussed by the House of Lords, and if the House of Lords also agrees with more than half of the members, it will finally be submitted to the Cabinet, and the proposal of the House of Commons does not have the effect of enforcement, and the Cabinet can choose not to implement it, but the Prime Minister must give a speech in the House of Commons to give a convincing statement, and the Cabinet has generally pursued a compromise approach to the proposals of the House of Commons for more than a year, making appropriate amendments and then implementing them, and in the same way, the House of Commons cannot control the head of the Commonwealth, and has only the right to make recommendations like the House of Lords。
Ouyang Yu didn't make the upper and lower houses for fun, but with her considerations, what kind of place is the house? The House of Representatives is a place used to quarrel, whether it is the upper and lower houses of Niu Niu, or the Senate and House of Representatives of Eagle Sauce, they are all places used by politicians to quarrel and grind their mouths, and Ouyang Yu set up the upper and lower houses for the parliamentarians to use to grind their mouths, so that these parliamentarians are busy in order to fight for greater right to speak, and no one will have the heart to come to her trouble, not only to end up clean, but also to maximize the right to differentiate.
There are two hundred and one seats in the upper house and seven hundred and fifty-one seats in the lower house, and there is no partisan concept in the other world, so Ouyang Yu does not have to worry about the dominance of one party, and the more than 700 members of the upper and lower houses will never be able to twist into a rope, not to mention that the federal constitution gives the head of state the right to dissolve the upper and lower houses at any time, if there is really an uncontrollable situation, Ouyang Yu can dissolve the upper and lower houses at any time, anyway, she has military and financial power, and no one can resist.
The meeting that Ouyang Yu will attend today is the first work report made by the cabinet, summing up the achievements and experience of last year's administration, and it will be held at the parliament building of the upper house, and the meeting will be attended by the prime minister, all cabinet members, and all members of the upper house, while all members of the lower house are not qualified to participate in such a meeting.
The meeting was presided over by the President of the House of Lords, King Fernando VII of the Kingdom of San Fernando, and after the national anthem of the Chinese Federation "Unbreakable Alliance" was played, the Prime Minister, Count Trist, walked to the podium with a stack of thick speeches. (Bao Zixiao, "The Self-Breaking Alliance")
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, Distinguished Speaker and Members, on this sunny and warm spring day, I am honored to give you the ...... of the first Report on the Work of the Government. ”
The report of the Count of Trist was long and lasted for more than an hour before stopping, in which he summarized the work of the government in the past year, the political situation in the Chinese Federation was very stable, the emancipated slaves, Serfs and tenants got their own land for the first time because of the land reform, and the homesteaders who originally had only a small amount of land also increased the area of land they owned, and because the grain produced was directly sold to the government and the three layers of taxes profited a lot, these groups that occupied the nine layers of the federal people, Ouyang Yu, the federal government, and the cabinet, were very satisfied and supported, and became the solid foundation of Ouyang Yu's rule, as long as there was the support of these nine layers of people, no matter who could shake Ouyang Yu's rule.
With the support of the people, everything is very easy to handle, in addition to the land reform and vigorous development of agriculture last year, industry and commerce have also been greatly developed, and the arms trade with the southern countries has brought rich commercial remuneration to the federation, because the southern countries do not pay silver coins but commodities including grain, so the various commodities traded are put into the domestic market, and the rich commodities make the people who have some money in their pockets also happy to consume to improve their lives, and the commercial transactions are quite prosperous, and the taxes generated by them feed back to the federal treasury to form a virtuous circle。 (To be continued.) )
