The Summer Palace was completed in 1887. It took more than ten years from construction to completion. It was expanded twice in the 1990s and 1910s. Daihe County rose to the construction of the Daihe Summer Palace. It was originally a wooden shed, living in the relatives of construction workers. It has now become a small town with a population of over 100,000.

In the local political structure of the empire, there is no affiliation between cities and counties. Usually, the municipal districts are slightly larger than those of counties. The chief executive of the city (county) is appointed by the provincial government. The chief executive of the city (county) is usually called the imperial commissioner. He dispatches local representatives to the imperial government and exercises administrative powers granted by the imperial government and the provincial government. At the same time, the municipal (county) has elected parliaments. The number of people varies from dozens to hundreds. The term of office of the parliamentary member is 6 years, and half of them are re-elected every three years. The members of the municipal (county) council implement a system of unpaid. Members of the council elect each other to produce several speakers and deputy speakers. One secretary general is elected. The speaker is the representative of the municipal (county) autonomous region, responsible for implementing the resolutions of the parliament and has the right to organize and lead the local administrative agencies of the government at the same level.

In order to effectively exercise its powers, the municipal (county) council has several committees, such as national education, social relief, public health, public works, transportation, finance committees, etc.

The most important one is the Finance Committee, which is actually the Standing Organ of the Municipal (County) Council, usually called the Municipal (County) Committee. The members of the committee are elected by members of the council, consisting of 7-15 people, and perform the powers of the parliament during the recess of the municipal (County) Council.

The dual-track leadership system in which the mayor and the speaker each perform their duties ensures that the central government has strong local power and gives local governments a certain degree of autonomy. At this time, it is meaningless to talk about the official system of Chinese civilization. Today's imperial politicians and thinkers' discussions on political structures are to find a balance between centralization and local autonomy. As for the so-called supervision, prevention, etc., in today's power structure, it is no longer a matter of focus to be discussed.

The empire implemented a three-level local administrative system at the provincial, municipal (county) and town level. The power structure at the provincial level is similar to that at the municipal (county) level. It is only nominated by the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Interior, passed by the Cabinet Ministers' Meeting. The governor appointed by the emperor is stronger than the municipal (county) president. The provincial parliament has basically no administrative power and only has the right to supervise administration and establish local regulations. At the same time, the governor can be removed from the governor for legitimate reasons.

The town is the most basic administrative unit of the empire. It is managed by the elected town council. Town council members are elected by citizens over the age of 21 in the town. They have a term of office of 6 years and can be re-elected. The town council elects a town mayor and several assistants of town mayors, and the town mayor presides over the council meeting. The town council holds at least 5 regular meetings each year, each meeting for 15 days, and can hold special meetings.

The mayor is elected by councillors, and his term of office is 6 years. He can be re-elected. The mayor is also a representative of the central government. He has a dual identity and leads the work of the administrative department through the secretary-general and the assistant to the town mayor. However, the jurisdiction of tens of thousands of towns in the empire is naturally large and small. Therefore, the scale and organizational system of the administrative departments of local towns vary greatly. Large towns have relatively complete administrative organizations, appoint a large number of local administrative personnel, and may also set up several administrative bureaus; particularly small towns may have only two or three permanent officials to work.

In various towns of the empire, the struggle between councillors was the most intense and superficial. Some town councillors even fought, and there were large-scale armed fights between large families to compete for the leadership of the town. However, behind the pain was the transparency of local power. It was the remote village that every teenager and child gradually took it for granted should have the imprint of the gifted civil rights.

After the Revision of the Local Elections Act in 1908 was issued by Ye Zhao, the empire gradually formed the current extremely mature management model, a strong centralized democratic model different from the United Kingdom and the United States.

France, which also has a strong nationalist tradition, has learned from China comprehensively and established a local government system at the regional, provincial, municipal and municipal levels. The emergence of regional specialists, governors, and municipal speakers all adopt the Chinese model, and even cancels the public legal person status of the three-level local governments that are not affiliated with each other in administrative manner to ensure that the central government can better regulate the resources of the entire country.

The huge Eastern Empire has gradually become another benchmark in the civilized world.

Beidaihe Town, Daihe County is adjacent to Daihe Summer Palace. The first highway of the empire, the summer palace - Daihe Airport Expressway passes through Beidaihe Town. The small town is the location of Daihe Railway Station. There are many foreign citizens coming to Daihe every year. It is not only for tourism, but more for the purpose of being able to take a look at the residence of the great emperor from a distance. The abdicated great emperor is still the spiritual leader of all the imperial citizens.

Beidaihe Town has a population of more than 10,000. If you trace the root of the source, they are naturally foreign immigrants. In fact, in recent years, the main body of northern towns has been foreign immigrants. Unlike some southern towns, there are still large clans. However, with the clans being cleared in recent years, various new ideas have been accepted by rural residents, and the color of clans in the south has gradually faded.

Today, the Beidaihe Town Central Square gathered hundreds of residents. A member of Wang stood in the center of the square and gave a speech at the top of his voice, criticizing the "Public Health Regulations" just passed by the Beidaihe Town Council, believing that the regulations charge additional garbage disposal fees for residents of the town are unconstitutional and contrary to the spirit of the national law. Moreover, there are many foreign tourists in the town, and there are already special public health funds in the national fiscal appropriation. The town council still allocates the additional fees to residents of the town, which is a plunder.

Member Wang called on citizens to sign their "petition for all peoples" and write to the county government, urging the county government and county council to prohibit the ordinance from taking effect.

Taxes, various charges, and public buildings, such as those involving the interests of citizens, are the only way to criticize each other between parliamentarians and political parties.

There are 24 members of the Beidaihe Town Council, more than half of which are Progressive Party members. Speaker Fan Changgeng is naturally a Progressive Party member and is also a famous local gentry.

Most of the mayors of the towns in the empire were citizens of the town, but in fact, this is the best supervisor. What industry does the mayor's relatives and friends have in the past, how much property does they have? What are the situations of these people after the mayor's performance. The local people in the hometown are naturally clear and clear. Whoever dares to go beyond the line will definitely be made a big fuss by the political opponents in the town? They are innocent and are often attacked by their opponents using small tricks from time to time. Once they are caught, they will often be doomed.

In the imperial political structure, there is no real promotion system. If the mayor is good, no one will promote you to the position of county magistrate. Therefore, many gentry in the town may be not selected. They may be the mayor for their whole life, work diligently to seek welfare for the residents of the town, and also leave a good reputation for themselves and their descendants.

Of course, there are also many gentry who have gained great reputation in the town and compete for provincial parliamentarians, municipal and county speakers or even provincial speakers. This kind of "promotion" is not judged by the likes and dislikes of more than the buildings, but is entirely based on the efforts of yourself and the campaign team. Of course, the ownership of a political party is also an important factor that determines your political path.

Now the empire has gradually formed a pattern of dominance between the two parties. There is no need to say about the People's Livelihood Party. It has been with the empire for nearly half a century from its inception to the present, and has always been the old and established party of the empire.

The Progressive Party was merged from the "Loyal and Righteous National Academy of Education" and "Da Gong Party" and other parties, and has always been in strife with the Minsheng Party. It has even surpassed the Minsheng Party in its ruling years in the past 30 years. Because it is known for protecting traditions and conservativeness, foreign media usually call it the Conservative Party according to translation habits.

Beidaihe Town is one of the tens of thousands of towns ruled by the Progressive Party.

Mr. Wang, who gave a speech at the center of the square, was a Minsheng Party member. In the town council, there were 7 Minsheng Party members, 13 Progressive Party members, 1 Minsheng Party member, and 3 non-party member. Although it is a small town, the competition between the parties is extremely fierce.

In fact, Beidaihe Town and even Daihe County surrounded the Summer Palace. They all have extraordinary political significance in the political map of the People's Livelihood Party and the Progressive Party. The two parties' competition for Daihe County is no less than that of major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

In Sharaba's coffee shop not far from the square, Ye Zhao was siping coffee and listening to a middle-aged businessman in front of him persuading him to run for the next town councillor.

The coffee room is quiet, with a fan on the roof slowly sending out a breeze. Each table has elegant orchids, and there is a TV cabinet next to the bar. A black and white TV is now broadcasting the National Geographic program of National Channel 2.

Thanks to its adjacent summer palace, Daihe has built the tenth tallest TV tower in the country, which makes the Daihe area acceptable to multiple public and commercial TV programs.

Imperial TV is divided into three types: state TV, local TV and commercial TV. State TV and local TV are public TV stations and operated by state and local financial appropriations. In order to prevent the ruling party from controlling state TV stations, the State TV station has been recruited by the royal family and Congress to form a council to supervise the board of directors since its inception. Commercial TV stations are naturally private TV stations, and they generate revenue and losses through commercial advertising and other commercials.

However, TVs are far from popular nowadays. Commercial TV stations are just attempts by some wealthy business tycoons to devote themselves to new fields, and are mostly in a loss-making state.

In Beidaihe Town, there are 15 TVs, and the "Su Family" owns two, one coffee shop, and I heard that there is one in the house.

The "Su family" moved to the town fifteen years ago. The owner, Su Bowen, was 49 years old. He had three beautiful wives. His children were all in another place, and he had never seen his children visit him.

However, the Su Bowen Committee is very knowledgeable and talented. Although he rarely appears in small towns, the citizens of the town respect him very much. He heard that Mr. Su had worked as a lawyer and often gave legal opinions to some townsmen in trouble.

Therefore, when he heard that Mr. Su returned to Beidaihe and appeared in the coffee shop, Mr. Wang's lobbyist once again visited and persuaded Mr. Su to join the People's Livelihood Party.

Needless to say, Su Bowen is naturally Ye Zhao's pseudonym, saying that he lives in Daihe Palace. In fact, Ye Zhao lives in Daihe and lives in the small town of Beidaihe as Su Bowen most of the time.

In order to satisfy the emperor's desire to experience the life of citizens after abdicating, fifteen years ago, with the approval of the high-level meeting of the Congress, Ye Zhao obtained the citizenship status of "Su Bowen" and moved to Beidaihe Town.

The three wives accompanying Ye Zhao are Rong'er, Misaki and Zhu Qiqi. In fact, the other two wives of Ye Zhao also live in a small town. Haoruo's baby opened a small clinic, while Fucha runs a rice shop, claiming that it is a kinship relationship, which is to avoid being too eye-catching. After all, in today's empire, there are few and few men with five wives and concubines. Monogamy has been accepted by many people, but the legal provisions prohibiting taking concubines were submitted to the Congress twice. However, they were both at a weak disadvantage and were rejected.

Ye Zhao likes the leisurely civilian life in the town. He smiled and listened to Chen Yongjun, a local People's Livelihood Party official in front of him, and waved his hand and said, "Brother Chen, you don't have to say it anymore. I have no intention of going to politics and enjoy my current life."

Chen Yongjun smiled and said, "Okay, it's not difficult for Mr. Su, but Mr. Su must be proud of his face in the cards tonight."

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. I'll talk about it in a few days."

Chen Yongjun was a little helpless, but knew that Mr. Su had always been the only one, so he had to give up.

From the back door of the coffee room, passing through the erect pine and cypress yard, we came to the back house. In front of the colorful flower bed, Rong'er was carrying a watering can to water the flowers in the flower bed.

Ye Zhao silently looked at Rong'er's back for a while before slowly walking to Rong'er's side. He reached out to take the watering can from Rong'er's hand to water the flowers.

"Ah, you're back." Rong'er smiled and watched her husband help her.

After a while, Rong'er whispered: "Go and see them."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly.

Compared to Ye Zhao, Rong'er is more willing to believe in reincarnation and reincarnation. When she saw Hongfeng and Caifeng, she believed from the bottom of her heart that they were matchmakers and Jinfeng were reincarnated. In the past two days, she thought about how to believe Hongfeng and Caifeng believed that they were matchmakers and Jinfeng. She showed them the previous photos of matchmakers and Jinfeng, and told them about many things about matchmakers and Jinfeng.

...

The three-story oriental loft-style villa is extremely wide. The interior layout is completely different from the Western-style apartment, but has a unique oriental charm. The red sandalwood moon gate divides each floor into several magnificent areas called the garden. Ye Zhao walked along the crystal column gallery to the front of the third floor Qinghe Garden. The moon cave door was "the stream is light and the tree is colored", and the couplets on both sides said: "The heart is calm, the water is beautiful, and the fish and birds are leisurely."

Entering the Yue Cave, there is an ancient hall with green and ancient vines, rugged rockery, wonderful fountain, and on the milky white imperial concubine sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling blue crystal glass window, Caifeng was sitting bored. She was wearing a light blue lace-lace denim skirt, revealing her snow-white calves, and the lace-edged socks wrapped around her slender ankles. She was paired with delicate sneakers embellishing pink flowers, making her look more youthful and lively.

"You. You are here." Cai Feng suddenly saw Ye Zhao and stood up in surprise. But she stuttered and obviously didn't know what to call Ye Zhao.

I never thought that this uncle who was extremely close to me was actually a secluded emperor, and I never thought that I was like Hongfeng and I was so similar to Concubine Yi. Although Concubine Yi was unknown in folk legend, the Concubine Imperial Concubine is a legend. Some people who are flirting even wrote the unofficial history of "From the Female Warlord to the Mother of the Nation", praising the life of the Imperial Concubine.

As for Concubine Yi, the Empress Dowager said that although Concubine Yi’s name is not popular among the people, it is extremely favored by the emperor. The emperor even cultivated himself for five years for Concubine Yi’s death. Such friendship shows the emperor’s love for Concubine Yi.

When the Empress Dowager talked about the past, she cried and laughed. For some reason, she had all her thoughts on the man, as if she should be his person, and her age and identity were no longer important.

Caifeng really hopes that she is the reincarnation of Concubine Yi, so that she can be loved by the legendary man in front of her. She has even racked her brains to recall the memories of her previous life these days. Facing this man's inexplicable closeness, isn't it because of fate in her previous life?

But Caifeng was even more afraid. She was afraid that Ye Zhao would eventually find out that she and Concubine Yi were not the same person, and would eventually be disappointed in her.

These two days, Cai Feng spent the sweetness and anxiety, but when she saw Ye Zhao, shyness and uneasiness suddenly disappeared. An inexplicable impulse caused her to pounce into Ye Zhao's arms. At this time, Ye Zhao was just saying: "Your father should arrive tomorrow..." Before she finished speaking, Cai Feng hugged her tightly.

Ye Zhao didn't react for a moment, and his soft little body in his arms squirmed, but Cai Feng stood on tiptoe, and her tender and soft red lips kissed Ye Zhao's mouth.

Ye Zhao was stunned, not sure if he should push her away for a moment, but the feeling from his chest was so familiar. Although the twisting little ** was a little immature, the soft and boneless feeling was exactly the same as the golden phoenix, and it was slight***.

"I, I don't care who you are. I am willing to take care of you like Sister Jinfeng and listen to you... You, don't care who I am, okay?" Caifeng said with a red face against Ye Zhao's ears.

Ye Zhao stood silently. The little girl who had just fallen in love, no matter how rebellious Caifeng was, she would have to be very brave to be able to do such a move and say such words. Therefore, no matter how she thought in her heart, she could not hurt her immediately.

"I, I really hope that I was Sister Jinfeng in my previous life, but I'm afraid I'm not..." Caifeng's tears slowly rolled down.

Ye Zhao patted her shoulder lightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Suddenly someone coughed, Ye Zhao turned around and saw Hongfeng standing next to the fountain pool, quietly looking at them.

When her sister hit her, Caifeng's pretty face turned red. She left Ye Zhao's arms and ran to the inner room like a frightened rabbit.

Ye Zhao was so embarrassed. In Hongfeng's eyes, she must have seduced her innocent sister for the old disrespect. She rubbed her nose and watched the little girl pass by her expressionlessly.

He moved his hand and Ye Zhao was stunned, but Hongfeng gently held it when he passed by him. Ye Zhao was stunned for a while, looking at Hongfeng who walked past him and slowly towards the Yuedong Gate, he didn't know what it felt like in his heart. How similar is Hongfeng and the matchmaker?

The matchmaker is always like this, supporting herself with her unique tenderness when she least expects.

Ye Zhao's nose was sour and suddenly shouted: "Hongfeng, will we go to find the reincarnated Xiao Sisi in a few days?"

Hongfeng looked back and gave Ye Zhao a blank look. The familiar style was very familiar. Ye Zhao's heart was filled with ups and downs... (To be continued...)
