A ray of morning sunlight shining through the leaves outside the window shone on the glass of the room, and then reflected on Arthur's eyes.

Arthur uncomfortably stretched out his hand to try to cover the mischievous light, but found that he couldn't cover it completely anyway.

After a while, Arthur slowly opened his eyes, his brain suddenly turned on, and he sat up suddenly, looking at the wall clock on the wall, it was already past seven o'clock in the morning.

"Oh no, it's almost eight o'clock, hopefully in time for the meeting." Arthur was talking to himself, but his hands were non-stop, and he hurriedly got dressed.

According to tradition, someone should be responsible for Arthur's diet and daily life, but Arthur really didn't adapt to the arrogance of others dressing him, so he decided to do it himself.

I finally finished washing up, and it was already more than ten minutes after I went out.

Out of the door, the two guards at the door immediately saluted Arthur respectfully: "Good morning, Your Highness!" ”

"Earlier, the prime ministers shouldn't have come to me, right?" Arthur asked.

Today is April 29, the third day after Arthur and his party arrived in Australia.

As agreed between Arthur and several prime ministers, a preliminary meeting on the detailed system of the Principality of Australia will be held at 8 o'clock this morning, so that the country can be better improved.

It was nearly eight o'clock, and Arthur didn't want to be late for the first meeting.

Although as a monarch, no one would say anything if he was late for Arthur's meeting, but after all, he still had to make a good impression on his subordinates and all the people when he first arrived.

"Not really, Your Highness." The guard responded.

Call!

Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and went downstairs to the location of the conference room.

In the two days since he came to Australia, Arthur took a brief tour of the government affairs building and the vicinity of Sydney.

The first impression of Arthur in Australia or New South Wales today is that of tradition and backwardness.

Because the main sources of income are minerals and agriculture, and a considerable part of the income was previously sent to the British mainland, which also led to the economic situation of several colonies was not very good, and the income of the colonists was not high.

In general, Australia is still in a stage where everything is still in ruins, but now that it has become a new principality, the economy is bound to be much better than before.

Entering the conference room, the six prime ministers had been waiting for a long time.

"Good morning, Your Highness." The crowd saluted.

"Well, guys, without further ado, let's get started." Arthur sat down on the throne and then spoke.

"Your Highness, although by order of Her Majesty the Queen, Australia has nominally become a united and independent nation. But in reality, up to now, with the exception of nominal unification, our system has been based on the previous six colonies. I felt that we needed to change the system of the colonies in the first place, and I proposed that the six colonies be turned into six autonomous states, and the capital voted on them. And we can form a unified federal government based on these six autonomous states. We, the Prime Ministers, will become the governors of the new autonomous prefectures, and we will be accountable to Your Highness. New South Wales Prime Minister Evan said.

Because he presided over the drafting of the Federal Council Bill, Prime Minister Evan is still very clear about the current situation in Australia.

Australia's biggest problem now is that the colonies are siloed and do not interfere with each other. Although nominally it has been unified into one country, it is actually more like six separate countries.

"Do the other prime ministers have any opinions on this?" Arthur turned his gaze to the others and asked with a smile.

Prime Minister Evan's proposal was largely the same as the original process in Australia, with the formation of a federal government formed by the autonomous states.

The advantage of this was that a unified federal government could be formed with minimal changes, and the power in the hands of the prime ministers of the colonies remained the same, but they became governors.

Perhaps the previous Federation Council had already reached a consensus among the colonies, so none of the prime ministers had any other opinion at this time.

"I think it is very necessary to form a unified government in the shortest possible time." Seeing that no one spoke, Arthur said with a smile: "But the system of government still needs to be carefully considered. ”

"It seems to me that the previous Australia was made up of your six colonies, each of which operated independently and did not interfere with each other. But now that a unified state has been formed, I think that the title of colony should indeed be abolished. Arthur looked at Prime Minister Evan and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Evan's proposal is very good, I agree with the change of six colonies to six states, the name will not change, the capital will not change, but the unity will be responsible to the new national government." ”

"As to whether the new states should be given autonomy, I think the states should only be responsible for the affairs of the states, and the defense and other things should be the responsibility of the unified national government. How do you feel? Arthur smiled and looked at the group.

"Your Highness, I wonder what the new government election system will be? Is it to emulate the system of government of the British Empire? Prime Minister Evan asked tentatively.

If we talk about representatives of constitutional monarchy, then the British Empire definitely has a place.

As one of the first countries to introduce a constitutional monarchy, the British Empire quickly became the empire on which the sun never sets, thanks to the Industrial Revolution.

The advanced system of the British Empire also has a lot of credit for this, which is why Prime Minister Evan asked so much.

"It cannot be denied that the institutions of the British Empire were indeed very advanced. But I think every country has its own national conditions, and we can't copy them all. But there are many things to learn from, and I intend to set up a House of Commons, with members of the House of Commons elected by the states and seats allocated proportionally to the number of people. Arthur smiled and said, "The House of Lords is elected by the members of the royal family and my designator, as well as by the House of Commons. The House of Commons is responsible for proposing laws, electing cabinet members, amending laws, etc., while the House of Lords is responsible for reviewing laws proposed by the House of Commons, reviewing elected cabinet members, supervising officials, impeaching officials, amending the Constitution, etc. The House of Commons will be one of the most important executive bodies in our country, and the election of its members must be deliberate. ”

Arthur's proposed system of the House of Commons was similar to that of the British, with the House of Commons in the hands of political parties and civilians, and the House of Lords in the hands of the monarch.

While the House of Commons also has the power to propose and amend laws and elect cabinet members, the House of Lords is the body that ultimately approves the matter.

Without the consent of the House of Lords, all proposals and election results of the House of Commons can be annulled, which is also one of Arthur's cards.

According to Arthur's proposal, the future House of Commons will basically be in Arthur's hands, and cabinet members can be replaced at any time.
