"Hugh is long-winded! Why did you go to the dining hall to eat a meal and send someone to bring it over. By the way, you tell the Imperial Dining Room to stop fooling me with those bland and tasteless meals, and if you don't know how to do it, ask the New Army Chef. Stupid, you can't get a meal, go and go! ”

Zhao Maid heard it, but he didn't move, he was holding a pen and drawing it on the Bering Strait. It is said that there is a large area of land on the other side of the strait, and if there are trees in the area, a shipyard can be built to cross the sea.

The light to the extreme eastern sea can no longer satisfy his imagination, Wang Twelve is right, he has to be the emperor of the whole world, and the one on the other side of the strait should also be counted.

The faces of the internal officials are all green, and the emperor's imperial food is made by the cooks in the military camp, what kind of rules is this! But he didn't dare to tell the difference, since the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the changes in the inner palace were greater than those in the court.

There are prime ministers in the court, and the emperor can't do what he wants, but there are not many ministers in the palace who can intervene. This was supposed to be the duty of the queen and the queen mother.

But the emperor has not yet married, and the concubine Xiang is not as strong as the Empress Dowager Gao, and her biological mother, Concubine Zhu, does not ask about miscellaneous matters, and the affairs of the harem are also decided by the emperor alone. Then the drastic reform can scare a cadre of internal officials, palace maids, former queens, and concubines.

The first knife was to cancel many workshops in the inner court, and even with the officials and palace maids who were too young and too old, all the money and goods were distributed and released out of the palace.

Before leaving, they also issued a name thorn with the names of several trading companies and workshops. Sue the officials and palace maids, if you go out and have no way to live, you will go to these places with your name thorn to find it. I don't dare to guarantee anything else, as long as you are not lazy, do not steal, and do not gamble, you can still guarantee an errand that can live and is not too tired.

If you really don't have any skills, you're not afraid, isn't there still a Huangzhuang. Go and wait, it is said that soon Huangzhuang will also form a cooperative with the local people, all of them are from a hard background, and there will always be farming!

Although there are also discussions in the court about this arrangement, most of them are praise. The emperor took the initiative to reduce the royal expenditure, which is a great thing. The courtiers of all dynasties did not mention it less, but the effect was not too great.

Although the previous emperors were not extravagant, the huge palace and a large number of officials and palace maids still spend a lot of money and food every year. Now that the emperor has taken the lead in frugality, it will be seen who will dare to waste it in the future.

In addition, the courtiers also had to give a thumbs up to the new emperor's bearing, speaking of which Zhao Hao, who died, robbed the throne of the new emperor, but after the new emperor ascended the throne, he didn't mention half a word, and he treated Empress Pang and the prince even more benevolently.

Specially ordered to allow his mother and son to live in the original palace, what treatment should be in the past, what is still the treatment now, who dares to see the wind to make the rudder, people to go to the tea and cool, who will stop staying in the palace, go to the Huangzhuang together and wait for farming.

Therefore, regardless of whether the new emperor is biased in his administration, most courtiers still think that this emperor is amiable. An emperor who is affectionate and benevolent, no matter how bad he is, how bad can he be?

Of course, some people think that this is pretending, whether it is really benevolent, affectionate, and humane, you have to take your time and draw conclusions first.

At the beginning of February, the imperial court issued a decree allowing the implementation of the law of special zones on the 4th Sichuan and Shaanxi 4th Road and Fujian Road, and at the same time announced the trial implementation of the small provincial system on Ganliang Road, dividing Ganliang Road into two parts.

The area under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou City and Mawei City is Huangzhou Province, and Huangzhou is governed; The area under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, Ganzhou and Suzhou is Liangzhou Province, and Liangzhou is governed. The two provinces are bounded by the Wusheling Pass. For security reasons, the Wusheling Pass was placed under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou Province.

If there is a province, there must be a provincial magistrate. The imperial court stipulated that the highest chief executive of the province should be a high-ranking official, and there could only be one, who would be elected by the representatives of each state in the province and reported to the imperial court for the record.

Supplemented by high-ranking officials, they are also nominated by the local representative council themselves, but the number of places is not limited, and they can choose a few if they are willing to choose. As long as the province can afford it, a hundred imperial courts will not interfere.

Yes, with the introduction of the system of small provinces and the system of electing magistrates, it is natural that the distribution of power between the central and local governments is involved. From then on, all the finances of Huangzhou and Liangzhou provinces were taken care of by themselves, and the imperial court no longer bore any expenses, including the salaries of officials.

High-ranking officials and high-ranking officials have the right to appoint and dismiss officials at all levels in the province, and they only need to go to the imperial court for the record. But senior officials and senior officials are not for life, and they are re-elected every five years. In order to ensure the fairness of the process, the imperial court will send inspectors to the station, who have the right to check all the details of the election.

The provinces have only administrative and personnel powers, not military powers. The imperial court has the right to station troops in the provinces, and the expenses are naturally paid by the imperial court, and it is not under the local command, and it will also change the guard regularly and irregularly.

Local governments are also not allowed to maintain private soldiers, but can only form police forces to maintain law and order, and there are very strict restrictions on the degree and number of armed people. If there is a relatively large scale of bandits in the local area, it will be exterminated by the local imperial court garrison.

To put it bluntly, in the future, Huangzhou Province and Liangzhou Province will not only have to pay a certain amount of taxes to the imperial court, but also abide by the laws of the special zone, so the imperial court basically does not have to worry about it. Do what you love, live how you love.

When you are rich, you steal fun, and when you are poor, you cry. Even in the event of a natural disaster, the imperial court can only borrow money and grain, and has no responsibility to provide relief. If the real poor can't survive, then the local people can only abandon their families and businesses and migrate to the surrounding provinces.

When the population of a province fell to a certain number, the imperial court had the right to abolish the planning of the province, re-appoint the imperial court officials to administer it, and regain all rights to the imperial court. But when the population has recovered to a certain number, the provincial planning must also be restored.

This decree looks beautiful, but there are quite a few loopholes in it. For example, how the imperial court monitors the legitimacy of local elections, how to determine whether they violate the rules after supervision, and how to deal with them after they are determined. If these loopholes are not closed, it will be difficult for the entire system to operate for a long time.

Then how did the decree with so many fatal loopholes pass the review of the Promotion Society and be approved by the emperor? Let's talk about it, it's not that these loopholes haven't been discovered, but they can't be repaired for the time being, so we can only take one step at a time.

In order to fill all the loopholes in this category, it is necessary to have the cooperation of the national deliberative bodies and judicial bodies. It's still a bit early to talk about this, and it won't get the approval of the courtiers, and there is no result except for quarrels.

According to Hong Tao's intentions, Huangzhou Province and Liangzhou Province should first be properly managed, set an example for other state capitals, and by the way, further improve the details of the new law of the Special Administrative Region. Then, within five years, this system, which has been initially supplemented and successfully tried, will be extended to most parts of the country.

As long as more than half of the regions in the Great Song Dynasty implemented this system, the reform of the central government could begin. When the time comes, it will be useless for anyone to say anything, there will be ample data and supporters on their side. If anyone opens their eyes and refuses to admit it, then they can only bother the new army and Wang Shi to make a move, and directly drive these people out of power.

Only then can we begin to improve the entire system, fill the loopholes in it, and then spread it out to the whole country, leaving no gap.

Since then, everyone has worked hard under the same law, the same kind of enforcement, and the same rules, and whoever has the ability will get more resources, and whoever has no ability will get fewer resources.

As for issues such as welfare protection, Hong Tao hasn't thought about it yet. That's another question, whether you can survive to that day is still a question mark.

Even if they live, at most it will be a reminder to those in power, and the specific rules must be formulated by them. Don't point fingers yourself, it's easy to be annoyed if you interfere too much.

But without perfect institutional constraints, won't there be any big baskets in the next five years? For example, there are people who use various means to influence the electoral process.

In this way, it is still the powerful people who make profits, and if there are more such people, they will dig out their minds to destroy and change the system that is not favorable to them, and it is not in vain to toss for a long time.

Hong Tao was not too worried about this issue, because the first batch of provincial officials were really not elected by one vote, but by the imperial court.

On the issue of candidates, there is no need to worry about someone in the court mixing sand, they really don't have the ability to play the laws of the Special Administrative Region, that set of things is too far from their philosophy, and they can't play it if they barely go.

Don't go with the intention of messing around, as long as there is a foul play, you will not be able to escape the monitoring of the local promotion social organization, and there will be no way out except to be impeached and removed from power.
