Chapter 136: The New Federation of Elam
In Mo Yan's detailed explanation, with the help of the manual with simple pictures that was distributed. These city lords and village chiefs who came to Thunder Bluff finally understood the difference between the New Federation and the Eland Council. The Elamite Parliament, which has no rights, can only be regarded as a confederation rather than a federation according to Mo Yan's words, and although the two seem similar, there is a big difference.
The Council of Elamite can only play its unique role under certain circumstances, such as the invasion of Elamite by Maro in history, and the military coup d'Γ©tat of the Speaker of the Parliament City, which endangers the whole of Elam, and does not play a large role in normal times.
The Elamite Council's decision is not legally binding, and if the city is unwilling to comply with the Elamite Council's resolution, it will revoke his rights to the council and condemn him nominally. The heaviest punishment is not to allow them to sit in the council of Elamite until all the councils of that city are re-elected.
However, the new federation of Elamand proposed by Mo Yan this time is more stringent than the requirements of the Elamand Parliament. While each municipality may retain its own parliament and, without violating the general constitution of the Union, retain the laws it is enforcing in its own right, but both the tax and the army must be unified and placed under the command of those who elect them.
While the people were under the jurisdiction of the councils of the various cities, they were also under the control of the whole of the new federation of Elam. The welfare of all cities will be the same, the wages of all people will be confirmed by the whole federation, the finances of the cities will be uniformly distributed by the new federation, and the diplomatic power will be fully received by the whole federation.
Mo Yan listed all the benefits of the Federation in the manual, but at the same time, he also explained everything they had lost, without any concealment or vague statements, and the whole manual was full of the sincerity of Thunder Cliff. Even the most discerning Saltts in Elamite could not find fault with such a detailed account.
"Shall we receive a financial allocation that far exceeds our current taxes?" the head of some small villages, seeing what they were interested in, asked the minotaur who was waiting to ask a question after finishing his story, "In other words, we don't actually pay the taxes we receive, and we will get some extra gold coins for the development of the city or village?"
"For the time being, yes. Mo Yan nodded and said: "Once you join the new Federation of Elam, I will formulate a unique development strategy for you according to the environment you have, and give you a lot of financial allocation for early development, and soon you will be able to reach the level of Thunder Cliff in terms of population and income." β
Mo Yan's answer made most of the village chiefs happy, they were anxious about the loss of population and dwindling tax revenues in the village, if it was really as the Minotaur said, their village would not disappear, and with a lot of money to support them, they could also develop into small towns like Lobito and Cabinda.
"Is the whole of the new Federation going to be under your rule?" the lord of Lobito grasped the point of the Minotaur's words. Obviously, some cities like Lobito that have grown, they don't care about the financial allocation. Thundercliff has factories in their city, their taxes are much higher than they used to be, and all they really care about is who is in charge of this so-called new federation.
They have fully understood the benefits of the establishment of the new federation of Elamite from the book and the Tanotaur story, and the cities will unite as never before while retaining their free surnames, and will have a lot of influence in many aspects, and in the future the members of the federation will be more and more, and in the future the entire Elamite will truly become a whole.
But the question of who will be in control of this new federation is the most important question. The ruler of the Federation should be elected from among the people, not by the monster in front of him, otherwise it is not much different from being enslaved.
"Yes, for now. Mo Yan did not mean to deny it: "As the person who put forward the idea of this new federation, no one will know the operation of the new federation better than me, and I will be responsible for building the system of the real political axe, and improve the system of the entire federation in half a year." Of course, in half a year's time there will be a referendum on the entire new federation, and all citizens will have the right to become president of the federation. β
"We need to monitor your builds. Sula, who had been thinking with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said: "There is nothing wrong with your words, but we need to organize a federal parliament, and all your actions will be submitted to the parliament for review, and if we find anything unreasonable, we have the right to deprive you of your power." β
"Actually, you don't have that power. Mo Yan laughed when he heard Sula's words, and explained before Sura could refute it: "The parliament only has the right to impeach me, and then the specific verdict will be handed over to the Supreme Court, oh...... It should be noted here that the court magistrate was appointed by me. And ......"
"Then what's the difference between this and you having the final say?" Sula frowned and said: "If the parliament wants to impeach you, you still have to go through a court decision, and the ** official is your person, doesn't this mean that you can serve as long as you want to be president? β
Mo Yan had no choice but to give a brief introduction to the separation of powers and how this political axe works, just like giving a lecture to elementary school students. Mo Yan graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and he knows everything about Mi Guoyan's set, after all, ...... If you don't understand the school, you won't graduate!
In the process of constantly explaining to these city lords, the sky slowly turned dark, and before they knew it, Mo Yan and the city lords had been in the room for a whole day. The rising minotaur and the delighted delegate who listened forgot that there was such a thing as lunch and dinner.
"It's so late?" Mo Yan took a sip of water and moistened his slightly dry throat and said, "There are still many details about the structure of the political axe, so I won't explain it in detail. If I really want to tell you everything, I think it will take a lot of things to say, why I deliberately set aside a whole day for you to meet, I don't have time to teach you every day. β
"You're a genius!" Reflecting what he had just heard, Sura's eyes lit up, his hands on the side of his head as if he was about to grasp something, his mind kept thinking about this system, and he looked at the minotaur in front of him in disbelief and said, "How the hell did you come up with these things? This is many times better than the system that Elan is using, oh my God...... I'm simply ...... I almost want to go back now and set up this system in Cabinda. β
"That's what I came to you for, and I'm glad you understood what I meant. The Minotaur looked at the excited delegates and said with a smile: "Then for the new Federation of Elam, who wants to join?" The answer to him was the quickly raised arms of everyone, and the Minotaur spent a whole day deeply impressing these city lords who had seen a lot of the world in his erudition.
"You're the smartest man I've ever met. After Mo Yan had eaten in the dining room with those excited city lords, he ran into Emily on the way back to the bedroom to rest. It was late by now, so she was wearing only a white pajamas. The moonlight shining in through the window made her body look like a layer of glittering light.
"You mean what I said during the day. Mo Yan knew that Emily had eavesdropped outside the door for a while, so he didn't wonder what Emily said, and the minotaur handed the manual in his hand to Emily and said, "I'm actually just standing on the shoulders of giants, and I didn't come up with those things myself." β
The minotaur pointed to the lower right corner of the manual, and said with a few names written in the words of the earth, "These are the people who came up with those things, and I just wrote them down." But you don't know these people, you have never heard of their names in your life, and you will never hear them in the future. β
"Very strange text. Emily stroked the still warm cover of the collection, looked at the names by the moonlight, and said, "Is it the knowledge that was excavated from that ruins? I don't know any of these words, even if the things in the book are not what you came up with, you are smart to understand such words." β
"Huh...... All right. Mo Yan smiled and said, "Anyway, you are waiting for me here, just to say to me, I am very smart? There must be something else to say, right, is there something urgent? But...... I don't think you look and dress like that. β
"I'm here to tell you something important. Hearing Mo Yan's words, Emily's face began to slowly become ruddy, she lowered her head and looked at her toes, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Just keep it like this for the time being, about ...... On the question of marriage between us. β
"Ahh Hearing Emily's words, the minotaur suddenly realized, "Is it about divorce?" sorry, sorry...... As soon as I got busy, I forgot about it, I used to ask Aruba, but then I forgot about it because of the ruins. I'm going to say hello tomorrow, or rather...... You're going to tell me?"
"I know you heard!" Exclaimed Emily, her face turning bright red, and she looked up waiting for the minotaur to play tricks on her......, "Don't let me say it a second time! It's so humiliating. β
