Chapter 333 The Birth of a Nation
The 6792nd year of the Yellow Emperor era.
Well, this time was said by the Immortal Lord.
He said that the Yanhuang era was in the 5,000th BC, and the Yanhuang era was in the 5,000th BC. Don’t ask why, the Immortal Lord and the two great gods, Yanhuang, were brothers and brothers in the heavenly realm. Could it be that he still knew such a simple little thing?
And this year was 1792 AD, and with five thousand years, it was naturally the 6792 AD.
This is according to the new holy teachings.
Therefore, it can be referred to as the 6792 year of the Holy Li.
On October 1, 6792, the Immortal Lord climbed the Fengtian Hall of Yingtian Palace in Nanjing. Because His Majesty the Emperor is also a god, he is also called the Divine Emperor among the people. With China as the country name, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet are appointed to take charge of government affairs, the Grand Governor's Office is abolished, and the Army and Navy Ministers are appointed to be responsible for the equipment logistics and reserve construction of the two armies. The General Staff of the Army and Navy is appointed to be responsible for the command and mobilization of the army. Of course, the above officials are appointed and removed by His Majesty the Emperor.
.The Censorate and Dali Temple are responsible for justice. The former is responsible for supervision and prosecution. The latter is responsible for trial. The local government has established a three-level system for provincial prefectures, scattered prefectures, and departments. All other direct prefectures, scattered prefectures, and departments are abolished. There are two levels below the county. These two levels are local autonomous institutions. The Ministry of Personnel shall submit the emperor to the appointment of the emperor. In addition, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Colonial Affairs is added to be responsible for external colonization and also in charge of exchanges with demon states. As for the vassal states, they will naturally belong to the Lifan Court.
The imperial examination will no longer be held.
But it was changed to the official examination. All literate candidates can register to take the examination. Those who pass the examination can become official officials. In the future, all local officials will be promoted from officials and will no longer be prohibited from being officials in the province. Of course, the transfer of officials from other places is a normal internal position.
In addition, in order to understand the people's conditions, a separate People's Court was established.
This consists of people's representatives from each province, responsible for supervising the work of the cabinet. When you are dissatisfied with the work of the cabinet, you have the right to call him over and question him. Even the prime minister must accept the question. If you are still dissatisfied, then the chairman of the People's Court has the right to submit memorials to the emperor. Such impeachment of the emperor must be given priority. For example, when you are present in person, let the People's Court besiege the Prime Minister in front of the emperor, including the government orders involving taxes in the cabinet must also be explained to the People's Court first, and the annual fiscal revenue and expenditure must also be summarized and reported to the People's Court.
In fact, it is equivalent to the past censor.
But it was not appointed by the emperor, but elected by local people. It was also considered a preparation for constitutional establishment. After all, this matter cannot be achieved overnight and must be gradually transitioned. Through the election of representatives of the People's Court, the electoral system must be established first, and when the people are familiar with this, then established it in the form of a constitution. As for the election of the People's Court, it depends on the situation. Anyway, when the emperor controls the economy, military and even spies, the Prime Minister is just a working manager and not a particularly important position. After all, even if the People's Court is allowed to elect, the emperor will definitely retain the final appointment power.
In fact, Yang Feng never believed that there was a political system that would last forever.
This thing is a balance of interests.
Not static.
Interests are constantly changing, and the balance point is also constantly changing. The system that is suitable today may not be suitable in the future. The system that seems incredible here may be very suitable to change a place. It is meaningless to entangle such things. If he plays like this in the Song Dynasty, he will be a fool, and if he doesn't play like this in this era, he will be a fool.
In addition, the provincial prefectures and counties also have people's courts at the third level.
The local people's court also has the power to supervise impeachment of local officials, and can even directly prosecute officials.
There is also title.
This must also be the one that those heroes desire the most. Wouldn’t it disappoint them if they don’t have a title?
His title was naturally the system he was used to. The fifth-class title was actually the title, but the title minister had no other privileges except as a landlord. As for the fief, this is easy to solve, because theoretically, all the land in the world belongs to the emperor, and the people only rented 10% of the land rent and half-land tax. No one except the emperor had the right to trade the land, so he just assigned part of the land to the title minister. However, the people transferred the 10% of the land rent that was originally to be paid to the country to the title minister. This rent is legal and cannot be changed by anyone, and no other fees are allowed. Therefore, it is impossible to make a fortune by relying on land rent. The only advantage is that you have ownership of the land. So if you are lucky, if you don’t have minerals, you have to farm. In fact, for the title minister, using slaves is definitely more cost-effective than tenants.
Of course, it can only be a castrated slave.
The Chinese Holy Dynasty will not allow unsurgent slaves.
Yang Feng was encouraging Juechen to use slaves.
After all, only tenants' land rent cannot be tolerated by the lords in any case. As long as they find that buying eunuchs can bring them more wealth than using tenants, they will definitely buy eunuchs on a large scale. Then slave farms similar to those in the southern United States began to appear. Then those who reclaimed wasteland in the northeast and northwest also began to use eunuchs, just like tenant farmers abandoned by eunuchs. This country must not ignore it. Either they enter factories or the state can subsidize the land outside. If there is insufficient manpower, they can buy eunuchs. In the future, those who reclaimed wasteland in the colonies will also start to use these eunuchs. The people of the Ming Dynasty can enjoy a better life by stepping on the corpses of the slaves.
As for workers, this is not difficult to solve. As long as agricultural output increases, farming is unprofitable and industry can make huge profits, there will always be people entering factories. After all, ordinary people cannot just eat.
Just look at modern migrant workers.
Also when the population grows in large numbers and the influx of slaves intensifies this pressure, external expansion becomes an inevitable choice. Any leader with a normal mind will understand that with the idea of the Holy Church as a support, the ambition of the younger generation to expand territory, and driven by population pressure, it would be a fantasy if this country is not aggressive in the future, especially when his cabinet system is intentionally or unintentionally moving towards the old Japan, the prime minister does not want to expand externally, and the officers of the General Staff will not agree! At worst, I will give you a punishment!
There is also his system of honors and people, that is, the people who hold the medals receive several generations of wages according to different levels. This system has no other problem than creating some burden on the finances. This problem can be solved by controlling the quantity, but the effect is huge. Even if you die in battle, as long as you can get a medal, your son and even grandson can get a lifetime salary. Who on the battlefield is not brave enough to strive for the first place?
There is also a royal family system.
That is, Yang Feng's descendants.
This is not granted titles, unless you make merit, the royal family will not grant titles. This move shocked the court and the public. After all, this is a good thing for the first time. Everyone understands that the Ming Dynasty was largely eaten to death by the royal family, but the descendants of His Majesty the Emperor of God will not grant titles unless they make merit. When they learned about this, the government and the public were grateful for the generosity and selflessness of the Emperor.
Of course, there is no need to tell the people that he divides state-owned enterprises.
His royal enterprise is equivalent to inheritance of the inheritance of future generations, and of course it has nothing to do with the country and the people.
This makes more money than a fiefdom, of course, we can't say that we have a shareholding system. In the future, the royal enterprise must be unique to the emperor, except for Imperial Bank Oil, and other enterprises can be divided into shares for their sons. Is it more valuable to share tens of thousands of acres of land to his sons and give him a part of the monopoly consortium stocks?
Anyway, that's it.
This is the regime system.
At the same time, the Holy Teaching System has also been reintegrated.
The Holy Church General Assembly was established in Nanjing, and His Majesty the Emperor served as the Pope, and it was always a prescribed rule. That is to say, the imperial emperor will always be the Pope, and there will be a grand prefecture in each province, which will be appointed by the Pope. However, there will be no more than the prefecture level, and the county level will be established. The grand prefecture will be appointed by the Pope. Each township will be established with a holy temple. The priest of the holy temple will be appointed by the county prefect himself. The priest of the holy temple is responsible for preaching charity and compulsory education. The priest of the holy church is responsible for preaching charity and compulsory education. The tutor finance is responsible for the tutorial affairs, or the royal family will be responsible for it.
Of course, donations from believers are also accepted.
But it is not donated to the priests, but directly to the Pope. This is just done by depositing it into the Pope’s account at the nearby post office or bank.
For believers who donate a lot, the Pope will give appropriate honorary rewards, because the Pope and the Emperor are one, and this reward is very operational. For example, it may be easier to borrow a bank loan. You should know that the Imperial Bank is the emperor, and it may be the government's procurement. Speaking of government procurement, especially the army procurement, the same words of the emperor. For example, if a child at home is in college, it may receive an admission notice from the royal university to be a disciple of the emperor, and even those who have made outstanding contributions may be directly awarded a title. Of course, this title is definitely not because he donated 100,000 ounces of money to the Pope. This is absolutely impossible for the royal family to sell official titles...
At least the God Emperor himself won't.
In short, the water here is very deep, and his descendants have a lot of room for operation in the future.
Such a political system in which the two systems of God and man were parallel was established. Because God and man were the supreme rulers, God's system became an affiliation to the human system, and God's system gave the human system legitimacy and coexisted with each other. This is perfect. As for the advanced nature of this system...
Yang Feng admitted that there was no such thing.
In the future, I will definitely not be as good as the country on the other side of the ocean, but...
This is nothing to do with him!
