Section 29 State Plans
Hearing the news announced by Chen Linqiang, not only the people below were stunned, but even Xin Yu himself was stunned. Didn't you have this link beforehand? Which one is this ancestor singing?
Chen Linqiang smiled and asked Xin Yu to continue, and did not explain his thoughts. What can he think? It's not that he is afraid that Xin Yu will not do his best to develop "science", but that this is a "equity reward." On the one hand, it can improve Xin Yu's enthusiasm, and on the other hand, it can also be compared in the future to see if there is a big gap between Haizhou's private territory and Daliang State, and whether Xin Yu has been treated differently.
Xin Yuxi smiled, he still underestimated this old hat. How big is Haizhou? It seems that more than 100,000 square kilometers is not small, but compared with the entire Liang country, it is only less than one-tenth. Moreover, seeing that those people below did not have any objections, they knew that there was really nothing to give up about the 10% of the land in this barren corner. Besides, if the territory is not enough, when the Great Liang Kingdom grows stronger, there will be more prosperous territory on the mainland waiting for them to occupy. Exchanging 10 percent of the "shares" for broader prospects is a cost-effective deal.
Of course, although he understood Chen Linqiang's thoughts, Xin Yu was still impressed by his courage. This is not an "option reward", it is a real land feud, and it is a territory that will never be recovered. Such a mind is worthy of his admiration and applause.
Coughing lightly, Xin Yu didn't push, and said directly: "The elder doesn't dare to resign, thank the old ancestor." ”
"Go ahead and talk to them about your plans. Chen Linqiang was very appreciative of Xin Yu's unyielding spirit, and said with a smile.
Xin Yu suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart, and directly spread out the speech and began his tirade: "Everyone here is a senior elder, and the kid speaks indiscriminately, that is, he speaks in vain, and you will listen to it in vain, if there is anything inappropriate, please criticize and give more advice."
First, let's start with the systems of the state. Before going into the details, let me say a few words about the importance of national institutions in development. A good and rigorous system can not only maintain social unity and stability, but also promote the development of all aspects of society, and is the top priority for the country's long-term progress.
The system of the new Great Liang State that I envisaged was a civilian leadership system. In other words, in the future, the civil administration of the state, legislation, law enforcement, supervision, and even some military matters will be decided by civilian officials.
Let me first introduce the advantages and disadvantages of the civil service system. First of all, in terms of national stability, the control of the military is in the hands of the national lord, which can maintain the unity of the country and eliminate the hidden danger of warlord secession. Second, unified command can ensure that in foreign wars, the combat effectiveness of the armed forces will be enhanced and the defect of multiple orders can be avoided.
Of course, there are also disadvantages to this separation of civil and military, such as restricting the authority of the army, which may reduce the combat effectiveness of the army, and I will propose corresponding solutions to this later. ”
Speaking of which, the faces of the people below are not good-looking. Except for Chen Mochen and another prime minister, even when the former lord of the country was in power, their eighteen families did not give up their infiltration of the army, and it can be said that they are the largest and most mainstream warlords in the current Great Liang. Xin Yu's plan can be said to have canceled their privileges from the root, and it is even more murderous than the former lord. They came obediently this time not only to visit the founding ancestor, but also to make the ancestor recognize their status. Before the queue began, the dishes on their plates were collected first, and no one would be happy.
Of course, Xin Yu knew that his plan harmed the core interests of these people, so he interrupted the topic and talked about an idea: "Of course, in order to repay your support, the Great Liang Kingdom will set up a noble house headed by the nineteen people present in the future. The House of Lords has a series of rights, such as the power to legislate and the power to elect the Prime Minister, and if the decision of the House of Lords is contrary to the will of the Lord, it can be vetoed by three votes of all the votes. ”
Hearing Xin Yu's assumptions of the House of Nobles, the faces of these people turned cloudy. Although it has not yet been said how to ensure that the lord does not have to suppress and subdue the House of Nobles, it is clear that it has legally allowed them to share a large part of the power of the state.
"In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the House of Nobles and other systems, the basic national policy of the Great Liang State in the future is: to govern the country according to law, and the king is under the law. I will later give the framework of the Magna Carta, and it will be up to you to work out the fundamentals of the future of the Liang State*.
"Moreover, even militarily, it is not up to the lord of the country to make a decision. As the sole commander of the army, the lord of the country has the right to wage war abroad and the obligation to defend the country, but he does not enjoy the right to suppress at home. The maintenance of internal law and order would be entrusted to the civilian police agency, and in the event of a major banditry, the army must be dispatched, and the authorization of the House of Lords must be obtained. At the same time, the financial power of the army also belonged to the House of Nobles. ”
Hearing this, Chen Mochen's brows furrowed. Although he didn't know that Xin Yu was born out of a constitutional monarchy, his sensitivity to rights still made him feel as if he must have lost a lot of support under the new system, and even the army could not be fully controlled by himself.
"Of course, the House of Lords cannot and should not completely monopolize all the rights of the state, and in the institutions of the new Great Liang State, there will also be a House of Commons in the future, that is, a body for the common people to participate in politics. The House of Commons also has some legislative advice and oversight powers, and they also have the power to impeach the government. ”
After the "......", Xin Yu divided the powers of the government, and the legislation was handed over to the House of Nobles, and the judiciary and law enforcement were handed over to the corresponding agencies, establishing a rough structure of separation of powers. The original system of three provinces and six ministries was separated, and a number of departments such as the Organization Department, the Ministry of Supervision, the Ministry of Agriculture, the People's Court, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Communications were set up, and detailed terms of reference were delineated. In addition, in the military aspect, a system has been established to prevent the emergence of military hills, such as the General Staff Headquarters, the General Logistics Department, the General Political Department, and the General Training Department.
This is a feast to divide the power of the country, except for Chen Mochen, everyone else present was enthusiastic about Xin Yu's plan, and they couldn't wait to start building a new country immediately.
"Of course, since this system has no precedent, for the sake of the stable development of the Liang country, I suggest that you take three to five years to slowly reform, and you also need to train a large number of new officials to lay a solid foundation for the new system. Now, I would like to elaborate on the issue of the rule of law......
Since Xin Yu used a more mature system in the previous world, even if it was not so in line with the national conditions of the Great Liang Kingdom, it at least sounded beautiful and wonderful. In particular, the rights of the eighteenth family and the prime minister were greatly taken care of, so there would be no opponents jumping out to sing against him at all. Chen Mochen, the only one who felt that it was inappropriate, because the old ancestor of Jian'an was unmoved, had to keep silent and did not express any objections.
Later, Xin Yu published his "insightful views" on economic development, scientific and technological development, army building, and industrial construction, which were deleted from his previous life. When night fell, the nineteen old men who walked out of the Chen Mansion had expressions of satisfaction and impatience on their faces. It can be said that this is basically a victorious and successful conference.
"Ancestor, he ...... If this happens, our Chen family will not be able to take charge of the country in the future. After everyone agreed to leave, Chen Mochen complained to Chen Linqiang.
Chen Linqiang shook his head: "Hey...... Speaking of which, you are also a person who has held authority for more than ten years, haven't you thought carefully about the benefits of this plan?"
"What's the benefit? What's the benefit, it's not that this kid is arranging things indiscriminately and taking the authority of the state as a child's play, and it will be difficult to take back the power if it is divided. Chen Mochen said while glaring at Xin Yu, who was talking dryly, and was munching peonies and drinking tea.
"Hmph, what do you know?" Chen Linqiang was dissatisfied. In fact, when he first saw Xin Yu's plan, he was also very incomprehensible, and he was as worried as Chen Mochen, after all, he had traveled many worlds, and he had never seen this kind of decentralized state system. Of course, he will not substitute his performance on Chen Mochen, he will only feel that this junior really has no vision and can't see the other side of the contradiction.
Xin Yu explained to him in detail the advantages of this system at that time, saying that only this system can ensure the rapid development of the Great Liang Kingdom, and the Chen family can even be passed on in this way. At the end of the speech, he vividly stretched out his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and said: "We always want to pinch everything in our own hands, but in fact, we can't control everything and its development at all, and in the end, we will find that we can actually grasp very little, or even nothing." Then he spread out his palms and said, "And sometimes, when we open our hearts, like this, we find that we actually have the whole world in our hands." ”
Of course, although Xin Yu's metaphor is vivid, it is actually a crooked theory. If he is in the position of the lord of the country, he will never give up any bit of power, and the authentic one is the butt that decides the head. However, Chen Linqiang can discern Zhuyu, just like what he reprimanded Chen Mochen now: "What do you know? In the future, the lord of the country will not be able to say anything, but for the whole country, this is a good thing." Whether it is before or after, things have to be done by the people below. If the people below do things badly, the interests of the country and the Chen family will be damaged, even if you kill them, you will not be able to recover the losses, and you will have to bear the fault of not knowing people. If the power is divided, then they will become the masters of the country, and they will try to build the country well, and they will not be ruined by intrigue. Moreover, even if they do something bad, the lord of the country can criticize and blame from a detached standpoint, without bearing any infamy. Besides, with the army in hand, even if some power is lost in political affairs, no matter whether there is a faint monarch or a powerful minister in the future, no one will dare to overthrow the rule of my Chen family in the face of the world's condemnation. And the authority of etiquette, diplomacy and other powers also ensures that the influence of the lord of the country will not be reduced. You say, what's wrong with such a system?"
Chen Mochen was still a little unwilling: "However, wouldn't this weaken my authority......"
"En?" Chen Linqiang's tone suddenly became stern, "Your authority? What authority do you have? When did I say that I would let you continue to be the lord of the new Great Liang Kingdom? Let me tell you, the rules of succession to the throne will also change in the future, and if it is not recognized by most of the royal family, no one will want to reach the top." ”
