Chapter 1208 Be the head of state for five years

On the second day after Wu Haogu and others returned to Liaoyang Prefecture from Lushun Prefecture, next to the Liaoyang Prefecture Palace, the former Liaoning State's left-behind the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the current resident of the Senate, was like a stolen house.

Because just last night, although Wu Haogu did not meet these veterans who were persuading him to enter the journey on the grounds that he was tired, he asked Su Yu to come forward and hold a meeting for the veterans, explaining Wu Haogu's determination to be the public in the world and the situation of the "six-level citizenship system" and the "noble veteran system".

The veterans didn't say anything at that time. After returning to their temporary residence, they naturally discussed with their staff and servants for a while and almost figured out the advantages and disadvantages of the "Sixth Citizenship System" and the "National Elderly System".

So this morning, everyone has something to say.

"The sixth-level citizenship system is still good. We, the heroes of the Yuan Dynasty, cannot be on the same level as ordinary people."

"In fact, it is not perfect. For example, donating money to upgrade... If you donate millions of dollars, you will be a hero. Isn't that easy?"

"It's easy to have millions of dollars? Do you think the money of our Tianjin businessmen is blowing from the strong wind?"

"Hmph, I want me to say that some of the Guan Zhijia is just a fence-bearer, not a Republican Yuan Cong at all!"

"What did you say? Believe it or not, I chop you up with one knife?"

"Who are you scaring? When I was traversing the sea, your family was still a lackey from the Liao people!"

"Damn, I don't believe it..."

"Okay, okay! Don't make any noise, don't do anything! This is the Senate!

Whether you are a businessman or a businessman, you are a meritorious person! To put it in detail, governing is also a businessman."

"Yes, yes, let's talk about it, are the sixth-level citizenship system and the noble and veteran system good?"

The quality of the first generation of republic elders is really... Moreover, there are also very fierce merchants and veterans in Tianjin. The one who just got angry was the veterans of the Hua family in Haizhou. The old flower family is not only Yuan Cong, but also a pirate. Who is afraid of whom?

Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Murong Wangyou and Ma Renwang quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, but not good enough."

“Where is not enough?”

"Two points, one is that there is no emperor... I'm not used to it!

Another point is that I didn’t say what to do if the sixth-level citizenship system is implemented nationwide, how can I maintain the three-level states?”

It’s still a problem to have no emperor... I’m not used to it! I have been with the emperor for more than 1,300 years, but now I’m gone, who can get used to it?

Someone immediately proposed a solution, "It's easy to deal with without the emperor, so let's continue to elect to become the emperor."

"Continue to choose? He won't do it..."

"But we don't want to choose! There must be a process for this kind of thing... The ruler is a great scholar, so how can you just steal the emperor like the Emperor?"

"That's right! The great scholars are all modest... This matter needs to be done step by step."

The problem of the emperor is temporarily solved. Another problem is what to do if the state is in charge of the state?

The capital Guanzhou was originally used to resettle the powerful Yanyun who surrendered, and it was considered a fief of fief.

Earlier, everyone thought that Guanzhou could be passed down from generation to generation, which was a private territory.

However, the Republic suddenly became popular, and the poor and lower-middle peasants and the little Republic masters in Yan land suddenly showed great enthusiasm for fighting. This changed the strength comparison between the Republican government and the Duguanzhou.

Du Guanzhou is vulnerable to the powerful Republican army!

And within the state of the capital, many people want to become Republican citizens...

So it seems that the collapse of Guanzhou is a matter of time! But Guanzhou is the only one who is willing to give up such interests?

But if we don’t give up, who dares to confront the Republic?

Just those "republic masters" who don't want to live and money can flatten all the Guanzhou.

So this question once again came to Wu Haogu.

...

"Please come in again?"

"Yes, most elders are used to having an emperor..."

"The head of state and the emperor are no different, they are just not hereditary."

"This... is a habit after all!"

In the Liaoyang Palace, Wu Haogu also frowned when he looked at the two old men Murong Wangyou and Ma Renwang.

He thought for a while, "Why not do this... I will have a term system, five years, and I will be the head of state for five years first. Will I change the emperor in five years? Let's see the situation."

This term system is good... the term of office of the head of state can be changed to become the emperor when the term of office expires!

The two old men looked at each other and nodded.

That's it, just go back to do your ideological work.

Anyway, Wu Haogu is still young, so he doesn’t have to hurry to ascend the throne, and no one is competing with him, so it’s good to go slowly.

Wu Haogu also said: "We should establish a Constitution of the Republic, which is the national system, national name, sixth-level citizenship system, veteran system, and head system... and then make up a fundamental law."

Murong Wangyou said: "Let He Tianran and Zhang Zhifeng do this. They are proficient in law."

"Yes." Wu Haogu nodded, "Add another Su Yu...to draft the constitution together."

Of course, the Republic must establish a constitution. It not only needs to establish a constitution, but also further formulate the Criminal Code and the Civil Code to regulate the country's social and economic life.

Fortunately, Yuntai Academy began to cultivate legal scholars more than ten years ago, but now there is no shortage of specialists in this area.

The Senate only needs to determine the principles and leave the next thing to the law school professionals, and then the veterans will review it.

"What is the country's name determined by rule?" asked the Ma Renwang.

Wu Haogu had already thought about it. Although his country is a republic, the name of the People's Republic of China or the Republic of China is definitely unusable.

I still have to afford a quaint country name.

"Zhou." Wu Haogu said, "Just call it Zhou State. First, my ancestors established a Zhou State during the Tang Dynasty; second, the spirit of the Republic comes from the Western Zhou Republic and the people of the Zhou Dynasty to discuss politics."

There is actually no objection to this, just a well-behaved country name.

"Reign," Murong Wangyou frowned, "The next thing is the problem of Guanzhou.

We need to adjust the prefectures below and reduce many states. This will also involve more than a dozen states under management... Now that the Senate has raised the problem, I have to make an idea."

Now the Yan ruled by the Republican government, the land of Liao roughly inherited the division of prefectures of the Liao Kingdom. There are too many administrative areas at the prefecture level, and there are not a large territory with dozens of prefectures!

According to the suggestions of the Republican government, it is prepared to merge and streamline it to within twenty state prefectures for easy management. In this way, more than a dozen states in the state will not exist. There may be a situation where several states in the state will be merged into one state.

"This matter is easy to deal with!" Wu Haogu smiled, "The dispute between the capital and the state is ultimately local autonomy."

"Autonomousness? Does it mean restraint?"

"It's almost the same," Wu Haogu smiled, "We don't have to learn from Zhao Song, we have taken over all the local powers. We can create some autonomous prefectures!"

"Autonomous Prefecture?" asked Old Man Murong, "Is it the same way as Tianjin?"

Tianjin is an autonomous city. Although its territory is not large, its population and wealth are far greater than any state under the republican government.

Moreover, Tianjin is also the resident of the Republican Government and the Senate. Over the years, the central and local governments have lived in harmony, and there is no unpleasantness.

"Yes," Wuhao Ancient Road, "Is Tianjin City a good city? Lushun City and Yanjing City (formerly Xijin City) are also council autonomy. After JD.com gets it, it will definitely have to have a council government.

If a commercial city can be autonomous, isn’t it possible? You can try it out by all those in charge of states first. You can also learn the methods of the Senate and get noble members. If several in charge of states and one, wouldn’t it be enough to discuss the affairs of each noble member? As for how many local troops they support, how much rent and tax they collect, and how to develop industry and commerce, the Republican government will not care about it.

However, the recognition of Class 6 citizens must be supervised by the Republican government."

What a trick!

Murong Wangyou and Ma Renwang two old men understood it as soon as they thought about it.

Wu Haogu's method is a bit similar to "recommendation", and he allocated the power of the Duguan family to the local council. At the same time, he asked several Duguan family to constrain each other.

All the people were dismantled into dozens of congressmen, and it would be difficult to rebel.

In addition, the number of citizens in the states also determines that the election of the senators in the Senate of the Republic should be divided into constituencies based on the number of various citizens.

If there are too few citizens in a certain state, the amount of veterans that can be allocated will be less. The number of citizens, except for big cities like Tianjin, is basically determined by the number of knights and soldiers.

Therefore, each family has to split a certain number of knight households, which is another kind of kindness for the family of Duguan.

Of course, this kind of favoritism is based on the effectiveness of the system of the Citizens' Congress.

The effectiveness of the system of the Citizens' Assembly is related to the size of the entire country.

At least in the Middle Ages when communication conditions were extremely underdeveloped, the Republic was indeed not suitable for a huge and complex power.

Like the Zhou Kingdom, the local country is just a small country in Beijing, Tianjin, some Hebei Province, and the entire Liaoning Province, with transportation completely relied on Bohai Sea shipping (the territory basically surrounds the Bohai Bay), with a population of only a few million and a maximum of 300,000 citizens. It is probably the upper limit for the implementation of the republic system.

In addition, not only was the republic system not applicable to major powers in the Middle Ages. It was also the evil capitalist system that emerged in some small states during its initial stages, such as the Italian states, the Federation of the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of England. Even in the Great America, there were thirteen states and millions of people at the beginning.

The Song Dynasty, with a population of 100 million and most of its land in inland areas with inconvenient transportation, had to enter capitalism and industrialization, and history had to be after the Second Industrial Revolution.

The productivity of the 12th century should not be thought about at all.
