Chapter 5: Becoming a Nobleman (Revision)

When night falls, the moonlight is like water, and the indoor lights and candles are lit, as bright as day.

In a staggered, cup-changing banquet, three old people with a small nonsense to chat, between the talk of the national events in recent years, but also the recent situation of each family, of course, it is indispensable to inquire about Yang Qingcheng's details, to Yang Qingcheng said that he is a person from Shanbei, because of the war became an orphan, and fled to the mountains with the villagers for refuge, after the war ended, the villagers all went down the mountain and returned to their hometowns, because they wanted to go out for a walk because they had no worries, and they did not believe in the words of seeing the world. But the three old men did not question it.

Yang Qingcheng also combined with what he had just seen in the book from the conversation, and summed up some relevant information that he needed.

This continent is called Huazhou Continent, the original nine large countries and several small countries, the nine large countries are Jinghua, Shanghua, Yuhua, Minghua, Qinghua, Donghua, Nanhua, Xihua, Beihua Kingdom.

Because 20 years ago, the countries of the mainland fought for territory, disputes continued, and the national strength of the countries declined, and more than 10 years ago was invaded by the overseas imperial continent powers, when the countries temporarily put aside their disputes with each other to meet the foreign enemy, and because of the years of fighting each other, the people's livelihood withered, they all hoped that other countries would resist at the forefront and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but at the beginning of the war, the Huazhou side collapsed on the whole front, several small countries were wiped out in an instant, and Donghua, one of the nine major countries in the front line, also almost fell.

Under the joint promotion of Donghua, Yuhua and Jinghua, the major powers united to form an anti-enemy coalition, and the chivalrous sects and Taoist Xuanmen also participated in the formation of special combat teams.

However, after many years of joint resistance, it has long been you and me, and I have you, and there are also some careerists who want to monopolize the results of the war and dominate the world, but they have all been resisted and failed by all parties.

The royal families of various countries, the nobles of the family, the heads of the sects and the bigwigs in the army then sat together to discuss the rest of the month, and finally decided to establish the federal government on September 9 of the previous year, formulate the federal constitution, and change the calendar of various countries to the Gregorian calendar, and changed the founding year to 6001 A.D., the capital of the original small country of China in the center of the mainland, and the federal government was also established here. The territories of the nine great powers have also been redivided into nine states, and each state may formulate its own state constitution on the basis of the constitution according to the actual situation in the state.

In order to protect their own interests, the royal families of major countries, small royal families, families, sects and military bigwigs have formulated some privileges in the constitution, which seems to be a bit of a combination of a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary republic.

It is said to be a constitutional monarchy, but there are nine royal families, and the president of the government is elected by parliament from among the nine royal descendants nominated by the nine royal families. The term of office of the president is ten years and cannot be re-elected.

The president is the supreme head of state and the supreme commander of the armed forces. However, the president's orders must be countersigned by the ministers to be effective, and the president needs to form a cabinet government, and the prime minister is the president's deputy for a five-year, renewable term, appointed by the president to be in charge of all aspects of the government. However, the cabinet government formed by the president is also accountable to the parliament, which effectively limits some of the president's powers.

Parliament, on the other hand, is divided into an upper house and a lower house by constitutional provisions.

The Upper Court, also known as the House of Nobles, is mainly composed of descendants of the royal family, nobles of the family, newly feuded nobles, judges of the Supreme Court, and heads of sects.

The House of Representatives is elected by the state houses, and the members of the state houses are directly elected by the voters of the states according to the majority representation system of the small constituencies.

The House of Commons exercises legislative, financial and executive powers. The legislative process is generally that a bill is proposed, debated in Parliament, passed, then sent to the House of Lords for approval, and finally submitted to the President for approval and promulgation. The financial power of the Parliament is exercised by the House of Commons, and the financial power is held by the Cabinet. The power of parliament to supervise the executive is to question the work of government ministers through parliamentarians, to debate the policies of the cabinet government, to ratify or reject treaties concluded by the government, and to raise motions of no confidence in the cabinet government.

That's the main situation in the federal government, and the rest of the side things don't need to be paid much attention to.

"Come, Xiao Yang, let's touch one. Sikong Daozuo raised his wine glass and shouted at Yang Qingcheng.

", Uncle Jing Sikong, I'll drink it, you feel free. ”

Yang Qingcheng also poured himself a glass of wine and saluted unambiguously.

"Hahaha, I just like your straightforward personality, come,. ”

"I said you drink less, old man, Xiao Yang is still young, don't keep pouring wine, drink less. Aunt Sikong blamed Sikong Daozuo, as if she remembered something and said to Yang Qingcheng: "Xiao Yang, then what are your plans next?"

"That's right, Mr. Xiao Yang, or you can stay and live with your uncle, it just so happens that I have a lot of rooms and a small population, and you have nowhere to go, so it's better to stay." ”

As soon as Yang Wenxuan heard Aunt Sikong's question, he hurriedly suggested to Yang Qingcheng.

Yang Qingcheng was also very moved by Uncle Yang's hospitality to him, and it was good for him to integrate into this world and have a place to stay, but now he hasn't thought it through yet, and it's not easy to make a decision.

"Uncle Xie Yang, some of my documents have been lost, and I want to reissue them back, but I will trouble Uncle during this time, so I will reissue my documents and leave. ”

"What's the trouble, but are you a nobleman or a commoner, if a commoner is easier to handle, if a nobleman then your documents are not easy to handle. ”

"What's so troublesome about this, as long as the two of us guarantee Xiao Yang, even the nobles will become nobles. Sikong Daozuo was a little confused, and when he heard this, he said arrogantly.

"You just give me a stop, this nobleman still has to check the five generations and list the genealogy, not how the nobles made it up, do you think the archives of the House of Nobles are decorations? ”

Aunt Sikong listened to Sikong Daozuo's words, and scolded angrily.

"Well, I don't know if it's a nobleman, because the documents were lost in the war and the refugees, and I was young at that time, and I fled all the way to the mountains with the old doctor, and there was nothing, so I brought some dry food, and then after the old doctor died, I followed the villagers to hide in the mountains for I don't know how long, and recently I heard that the war was over before I followed down the mountain. ”

Yang Qingcheng actually doesn't care about these feelings, it would be good if he could make himself a nobleman, at least at the beginning, he would not be inferior to others, and it would be convenient to act later, but even if the war had just ended, everything was still in chaos, and it was not easy to fake.

"Actually, it's not impossible, my younger brother and I are the same baronial title, although my brother's title cannot be hereditary, but if I have a nephew, he can inherit the knighthood, and now my brother and sister-in-law did not survive the war, nor did they leave a descendant, if they have children, they should be as old as you, at that time they were separated from the brother's family due to the war, and they haven't seen each other for many years, and I don't know if I have children later, Xiao Yang, don't say, maybe you may be the child of my hard-working brother, you see how much you look like my younger brother。 ”

Yang Wenxuan originally helped with the planning, but as he spoke, he suddenly felt as if this was the case.

"Old man Yang, don't really say it, it looks quite similar to you. ”

"Go, go, whatever, if you want to say like that's me, hahaha......" Sikong Daozuo immediately objected when he heard Aunt Sikong's words.

"What is the same as you, do you have an outer room outside, do you have an illegitimate child outside? When Aunt Sikong heard this, she immediately became angry.

"No, no, you don't know me yet, I'm just talking nonsense, you have to believe me!"

Sikong Daozuo was stunned for a moment by Aunt Sikong's shouting, and when he came to his senses, he hurriedly defended himself thinking about the foolish things he had said.

"Auntie, Uncle Sikong must be talking nonsense, don't be angry with a few nonsense. Yang Qingcheng followed and explained.

followed, Yang Wenxuan, Sikong Daozuo and Yang Qingcheng took turns to persuade and explain, and finally let Aunt Sikong calm down.

"Actually, I also understand, I don't know this old man, there is a thief but not a thief, hum, but Xiao Yang, I think you can really recognize the old man Yang, you see that you look so much like the old man Yang's family, and the younger brother and sister Yang went, and did not leave a man and half a woman, if you agree, there will be a lord immediately, don't underestimate this lord, when you become an adult, you will immediately have a knighthood, although it is the lowest title but also a noble, you say yes, Xiao Yang, and the assets stipulated by the state, The estate retroactive policy is also about to expire, and your uncle is also well-connected in the government, and with a little operation, you may also be able to get a lot of assets. ”

asset The policy of reissuing the inheritance is a policy of the unified certification of the qualifications and assets of the nobility of various countries after the establishment of the federal government, mainly to standardize the management of the nobility and the assets of the people of various countries, from the date of the establishment of the United States of Huazhou to December 31, 6003, the original certificates and certificates must be uniformly changed to the certification certificates of the United States of Huazhou, and the certificates or assets that have not been processed within the time limit will not be recognized or handled without special circumstances, and the property to which the original certificate belongs will be nationalized, and today it has reached September 9, 6003。

"Mr. Xiao Yang, what do you think? ”

I saw Yang Qingcheng holding a wine glass and bowing his head to Yang Wenxuan and said: "The little nephew greets the uncle, has a glass of wine, borrows flowers to offer the Buddha, and wishes the uncle all the best and a long life." ”

"Okay, okay, hurry up, good nephew, good nephew, there is one more person in my Yang family, haha......" Yang Wenxuan stood up and helped Yang Qingcheng, and said with a smile while touching his beard.

Uncle Sikong and Aunt Sikong also stood up and raised their glasses and congratulated: "Congratulations!"

"Thank you, thank you, happy and happy, haha......"

Yang Wenxuan felt that the recent bad luck seemed to have dissipated all of a sudden, and happily toasted to everyone to drink together.
