What happened in the Republic of China sounded a wake-up call for Qin Zhiyuan.
In the current Lanfang, students have only one task, which is to study. In the school, all ideological dissemination and all theoretical propaganda are prohibited.
Qin Zhiyuan believes that students should be the same as the military and should not have any political leanings.
Of course, patriotic education does not belong to ideology or political tendency. Education should be strengthened at any time and cannot be relaxed for a moment.
In fact, students are a very special group. They have not yet established a complete set of values and outlook on life, and are very easy to be taken advantage of.
And those who take advantage of them, whether they are people with other people's intentions or those who do wrong things unintentionally, are shameful.
Specifically speaking about Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan's control over Lan Fang is quite good.
The first is the army. Although the Foreign Legion has now joined Lanfang as a whole and is nominally under the jurisdiction of Lanfang, in fact the Lanfang government has no jurisdiction over the army.
So far, although Lanfang's army has exceeded 300,000 men, all military expenditures are borne by Qin Zhiyuan, and the Lanfang government is simply unable to provide them. This also results in the Lanfang government having no influence on the military.
Think about it, since the establishment of the Foreign Legion, Qin Zhiyuan has always been the absolute core of this army. Not only are all the soldiers loyal to Qin Zhiyuan, the generals who command the army are even more devoted to Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan did not treat the soldiers who followed him badly. The status of soldiers in Lanfang was countless times higher than that in the Republic of China. Their income was at the first level in the entire society, and there were various benefits.
, so the profession of soldier is respected and enviable in Lanfang.
And all of this happened because of Qin Zhiyuan, and also because of Qin Zhiyuan, all of this has been fixed in legal form.
Therefore, military power is what Qin Zhiyuan values most, and no accidents are allowed to happen.
There is no surprise, including the generals who are already in high positions. They know where their power comes from, so they will definitely defend the system and ensure that it is not damaged in any way.
The government headed by Huang Bohan also confirmed this fact. They believed that the current Lanfang government was unable to afford military expenditures, so they simply did not think about those illusory facts.
In fact, Huang Bohan and others are very satisfied with the current Lanfang, because compared to the period under the Dutch colonial government, the current Lanfang is a paradise.
The next thing Qin Zhiyuan needs to control is the economy.
Regarding the economy, Qin Zhiyuan's control over the military is actually about the same.
When Lanfang was founded, the domestic industrial base was so poor that it could barely produce towels. All exported goods were industrial raw materials. Not to mention deep processing to increase added value, even primary processing was not possible and could only be produced.
Raw materials.
After Germany's defeat, the delegation to Germany was nominally under the banner of Lanfang, but in fact it had little to do with the Lanfang government, because both the personnel composition and the funds used for acquisitions were all handled by Qin Zhiyuan, and Lanfang
The government barely paid a penny.
In this way, these machines purchased from Europe actually belong to Qin Zhiyuan, that is, the Lanfang royal family, and have little to do with the Lanfang government.
The role of industry in a country cannot be denied, especially heavy industry, which is the lifeblood of a country.
If you want to carefully calculate the local heavy industry in Lanfang, Daqing's oil field can be considered one, but it is only limited to the mining department. The current oil refinery and affiliated chemical plants in Daqing were actually established by Qin Zhiyuan, together with Lanfang
The government also has little to do with it.
As for the steel plant under construction, the Lanfang government's role is minimal.
You must know that the steel plant and even the raw material production areas are controlled by Qin Zhiyuan, and the Lanfang government's influence in it is even weaker.
It seems that Lanfang's current heavy industry, including the arsenal, is actually all handled by Qin Zhiyuan.
It’s no wonder that the Lanfang government insists that Julie return to Lanfang to wait for the birth. If Qin Zhiyuan stays in France and does not return to Lanfang, I’m afraid Huang Bohan and the others will be restless. Once Qin Zhiyuan abandons Lanfang, it will be like the Republic of China abandoning the Foreign Legion.
That would be a real disaster for Lan Fang.
In order to make Qin Zhiyuan fall in love with Lanfang, and to tie Lanfang and the royal family tightly together, the Lanfang government recently decided to classify Penglai Island, that is, the entire island of Bali, as an inherent asset of the royal family, that is,
He said that the future Lanfang government will not set up grassroots government agencies on Penglai Island. Everything on Penglai Island will be decided by the royal family, that is, Qin Zhiyuan.
Of course, all the output on Penglai Island also belongs to the royal family and is used to support the daily expenses of the royal family.
This is a big deal. Although Penglai Island currently does not have much output, the beautiful island has a bright future that everyone knows. As long as it is properly developed, it is not an exaggeration to say that every day will make a lot of money.
Currently, Penglai Island is undergoing large-scale construction. Qin Zhiyuan is planning to move all the research institutes on Corsica to Penglai Island. At least there must be branches. At the same time, Penglai Island is also under construction.
The huge residential area is prepared for foreign engineers and executives who travel across the ocean.
On Penglai Island, a castle identical to the Black Swan Castle in Paris has been completed, and ancillary facilities are currently under construction.
The original intention of the Lanfang government was to build a grand palace centered on the castle, but Qin Zhiyuan was firmly opposed.
Qin Zhiyuan hated all formalism, even the palace, a symbol of imperial power.
Not surprisingly, Qin Zhiyuan's pragmatism was opposed by everyone, including the military.
Imperial power, to a certain extent, is necessary for a constitutional monarchy. And the royal palace, as a symbol of imperial power, must also exist.
Later generations of Qin Zhiyuan were accustomed to the false proposition that everyone is equal, so he hated the term class from the bottom of his heart.
But disgust is disgust, and its existence is reasonable. Even in the 21st century, the idea that everyone is equal is still a false statement, and even the people who keep saying it all day long don’t believe it.
Since classes definitely exist, Qin Zhiyuan can only accept the Lanfang government's suggestions.
Qin Zhiyuan can advocate equality for everyone, but for those generals in the army and senior officials in the government, they do not necessarily like it. Although Qin Zhiyuan is the king of Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan cannot do it on many issues.
Do it wantonly.
Considering Qin Zhiyuan's attitude, the 50 square kilometers surrounding the Black Swan Castle on Penglai Island was sealed as a royal garden. In this area, Qin Zhiyuan could build whatever he wanted without anyone raising objections.
This comes at a great advantage to Gaspard, who is known as the internal manager and is almost going crazy with joy. Gaspard has organized more than a dozen designers who are famous all over the world to build an unparalleled design for Qin Zhiyuan.
royal palace.
This news had not yet been approved by Qin Zhiyuan, but the Lanfang government readily promised that it would be responsible for all costs.
Well, it looks like nothing happened to Qin Zhiyuan.
To sum up, in Lanfang now, Qin Zhiyuan is responsible for military construction and heavy industry construction, and the Lanfang government is responsible for people's livelihood projects and light industrial production. The two do not conflict and can be regarded as complementing each other.
As the king, Qin Zhiyuan does not directly interfere with Prime Minister Huang Bohan's work, but he has the right to demand Huang Bohan's explanation.
If Qin Zhiyuan feels that Huang Bohan's handling of something is inappropriate, he can ask Huang Bohan for an explanation. If Huang Bohan's explanation can be approved by Qin Zhiyuan, then there will be no problem. But if Qin Zhiyuan does not agree with Huang Boyan's explanation, Qin Zhiyuan will
The prime minister can be replaced.
To put it simply, Lanfang's political system is a bit like the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, except that the position of chief assistant was renamed prime minister. The prime minister is appointed by the king, and the king does not interfere with the prime minister's governance.
Of course, Lanfang's specific policies are very different from those of the Ming Dynasty, such as commercial taxation and maritime trade. Lanfang will definitely not be as pedantic as the Ming Dynasty, allowing merchants to make a lot of money but the country is weak.
At the same time, in Lanfang, the status of the military was much stronger than that in the Ming Dynasty, which also formed a strong check and balance on the civilian political groups. Those garrison troops spread across the country were Qin Zhiyuan's eyes. As long as Lanfang had any trouble, Qin would not be able to escape.
Eyes and ears that reach far.
Within the civil service group, there will definitely be different interest groups. For example, the current Lanfang has begun to show signs of differentiation, such as the local faction represented by Huang Bohan and the legion faction represented by Huang Fugui.
They all have different interests and demands, and this will also create checks and balances, and no one faction will be allowed to dominate.
Prime Minister Lan Fang's term of office is not fixed. If Qin Zhiyuan thinks that the Prime Minister has done a good job, then the Prime Minister can continue to serve. However, if the Prime Minister makes consecutive mistakes in governance, or the cabinet passes a motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister, Qin Zhiyuan will
To change the Prime Minister, choose a candidate that most people agree with as Prime Minister.
It must be pointed out that Lanfang's prime minister is not elected by the people. This will reduce internal friction to the greatest extent and also provide strong governance continuity.
In this way, the prime minister will not give in to short-term interests because he considers the interests of voters, but will pay more attention to long-term interests.
At the same time, Qin Zhiyuan also established a completely independent judicial system and supervisory system. These two systems are not controlled by the government, but are directly under the jurisdiction of the king. In this way, the role of the supervisory agency can be maximized and judicial supervision strengthened.
And the number of officials protecting each other is reduced, creating collusion.
Although such a political structure is not perfect, it is at least relatively perfect, because the rights of all parties are checked and balanced, and there is no dominance of one party.
Of course, if you have to find one, then the royal family is the supreme existence of Lanfang. There is no objection to this.
Even though it already looked quite perfect, Qin Zhiyuan was still ready to make fine adjustments at any time.
The economic base determines the superstructure. No political system will always adapt to the development and progress of social productive forces. Only continuous adjustment and optimization to adapt to the progress of productive forces is a mature strategy.
