Although nominally a European country, the political system of the Byzantine Empire was very different from that of Western Europe, and in Byzantium, it was more of a centralized system, and the great empires that were more or less unified inevitably went down this path.

In Western Europe, there was more of a feudal autocracy, and the lord had absolute jurisdiction over his own territory, and the king could not interfere in the affairs of the territory beyond the lord.

During the period of Constantine the Great, the appointment and dismissal of officials was completely controlled by the emperor, which was fashionable and able to select talents for the country and assist the emperor in governing the country, but in the later period, with the changes of the times, officials irrepressibly and rapidly degenerated, and all the common problems of the old empire: corruption, prevarication, mechanical affairs, etc., appeared on the officials of the empire.

In the later period, justice was not for the punishment of adultery and evil, but for the stability of the empire, and many of the regulations in the code were no longer adapted to the needs of the state and society.

In the sixth century, Heraclius reformed the administration of the empire and established a political system of military governors and military administration, which prevented the decline of the empire in the short term, but also provided opportunities for ambitious people in the long run.

Today, the previous political system is no longer suitable for the development of the country, Constantine the Great was such a great empire in Europe, and now Byzantium is a dying old man who must carry out drastic reforms to survive, and Constantine XI is now prestige enough to suppress any opposition.

March 1454 was hailed by later historians as the Month of Reformation.

On March 10, the emperor announced the reform of the official position, the central government set up the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of the Navy, and the Ministry of the Interior, the ministers were called ministers, and the prime minister was set up to oversee the ministries and assist the emperor in exercising his powers, Calvo became the first prime minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Sito, the Minister of Finance Chavez, the Minister of War Cesipe, the Minister of the Navy Husepe, the Minister of the Interior Flores, Chavez and Flores were the local nobles personally promoted by the emperor.

On March 11, the emperor announced the reform of the administrative divisions, and the Balkans set up four provinces, the heads of the provinces are called provincial governors, only administrative power, no military power, each province sends an emperor's envoy called the Fumin official, directly under the emperor, the status is second only to the provincial governor, only the power of supervision, no judicial power. Governor of Bulgaria Muken Antony, Governor of Moria Radwan Wallentin, Governor of Thrace Sardar Booth, Governor of Albania Gerardo Geller.

On 12 March, the Imperial Judicial System was reformed, and the Central Committee established five justices to preside over the highest judicial power in the country, with three judges in each province.

From then on, the executive, judicial, superintendent, and military were all separated, and the emperor was nominally the highest military governor and administrator of the country, controlling all the actions of the empire.

On March 14, the Emperor summoned all the judges, justices, religious figures, and local representatives of the whole country to Constantinople to rewrite the Code of Justinian.

On March 26, to the midst of the praise, the Roman National Law was the first to be published, which stated:

1. Regardless of nationality, those who possess Roman nationality shall enjoy the same status in Rome.

2. As of today, citizens born in the territory of the Roman Empire automatically enjoy Roman nationality.

3. A person who has a foreign nationality is deemed to have automatically renounced his Roman nationality.

...

On March 28, the Citizenship Act followed, which stipulates:

1. All the people in the present Roman territory have the status of freemen.

2. Citizens have the obligation to pay taxes and serve in the military.

3. Citizens should consciously safeguard national interests and safeguard national security.

...

At the beginning of May, the Code of Justinian was officially rewritten, in addition to the above contents, including the absolute monarchy is the only political system in Rome, the encouragement of divorced women to remarry, and the property after marriage belongs to both husband and wife, etc., which is the most complete legal code in Europe today, known as the "Code of Constantine".

"Your Majesty, what you want has been built." This is the craftsman reporting to the emperor,

"Oh? Take me to see it. The emperor was very interested, and following the footsteps of the craftsman, a large reeling cart appeared in front of the emperor.

That's right, this is the pedal reeling car that the emperor ordered someone to build, which is also part of the emperor's memory.

"How does this car work?" The Emperor asked.

"If the raw materials are sufficient, you can make thirty catties of satin cocoons a day."

According to five to eight catties of cocoons out of one catty of silk, only three to six catties of silk can be reeled a day, which is actually a lot, which is why the price of silk is so expensive.

This is related to the emperor's next strategy, if you want to become strong in a short time, it is unrealistic to rely on agriculture alone, but agriculture must be the foundation of the country, this is undoubted, silk weaving technology spread to the Roman Empire in the sixth century, but inefficiency is inevitable.

"In view of the current situation, I propose to regulate trade." Chancellor of the Exchequer Chavez proposed

Trade control was inevitable, with tax cuts or even exemptions for agricultural products to stimulate the production of agricultural products, while luxury goods such as silk were heavily taxed to supplement the imperial treasury.

"Yes, but how to control it needs to be investigated, and the Ministry of Finance will hand in the plan as soon as possible." The emperor personally presided over the meeting.

"Your Majesty, the latest news, Wallachia and Serbia are not willing to submit to the empire, and have united with Bosnia and Herzegovina to form the 'League against Constantinople' in an attempt to gain independence from the empire." The Minister of War, Cecipe, stood up and handed a document to the emperor.

"Absolutely not, the Empire does not allow any separatism." Prime Minister Calvo stood up and said solemnly, the empire has just recovered a little vitality, at this time, any little action may cause turmoil, after all, the emperor's reform has too many interests to touch, but as long as the central and military power is under the control of the emperor, local rebellions cannot make big waves.

The emperor must completely cut off all actions of the opposition by vigorous and resolute means to prevent foreign forces from infiltrating the empire.

"Chavez, can the Empire's finances live?" The emperor did not ask the question of whether to fight or not, it is necessary to fight, but it is necessary to divide the way of playing, the poor and the poor play, and the rich and rich.

"The finances are barely supporting the land, but if war is started, there is no way to fully carry out spring ploughing." Chavez said embarrassedly, spring ploughing also costs money, ploughing cattle, seeds, etc., how to farm without money?

"I propose to bring in a foreign population, and to grant land to those who come to settle in the empire, to have the right to use it for three years, and after three years the right to go to the peasants." Home Secretary Flores proposed.

In this era, there were still many low-status people, many of them were landless, most of them worked for the lords, and serfdom was not abolished until even before the First World War.

"Well, it works, but one more thing, the aliens must learn simple Greek, and they must be scattered and resettled, and not gathered together." The Emperor added.

A new life, a new atmosphere, but the emergence of the "Resistance League" briefly disrupted the emperor's plans.
