Chapter 333: The Birth of a Nation
The Yellow Emperor era was 6792.
Well, this time was said by Immortal Venerable.
He said that the Yanhuang era was 5,000 years before AD, so the Yanhuang era was 5,000 years BC, don't ask why, Xianzun and the two gods of Yanhuang in the heavenly realm are brothers, doesn't he know this simple little thing?
And this year is 1792 AD, plus 5,000 years, it is naturally the 6792nd year of the Yellow Emperor Era.
This is according to the new Holy Calendar.
Therefore, it can be referred to as the year 6792 of the holy calendar.
On October 1, 6792 of the Holy Calendar, Xianzun ascended to the Fengtian Hall of the Yingtian Palace in Nanjing, because His Majesty the Emperor is also a god at the same time, so the people also call it the Emperor of God, with Huaxia as the national name, set up the Prime Minister and the Cabinet to take charge of government affairs, abolish the Metropolitan Governor's Office, set up the Minister of Army and Navy and the cabinet members are responsible for the equipment, logistics and reserve construction of the two armies, and set up the Army and Navy General Staff Department to be responsible for the command and transfer of the army, of course, the above officials at all levels are appointed and dismissed by His Majesty the Emperor. Set up the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple two levels responsible for justice, the former is responsible for supervising and prosecuting the latter is responsible for the trial, the local establishment of the provincial capital and county three-level system, other direct prefectures, scattered states, departments and the like are abolished, the county below the village two levels, these two levels are local self-government institutions, counties and above the county by the Ministry of officials to report to the emperor for appointment, in addition to the addition of foreign affairs and colonial affairs Minister responsible for foreign colonization, and also in charge of exchanges with the demon country, as for the vassal state, it will naturally belong to the domain.
There will no longer be an imperial examination.
However, it was changed to the official examination, all literate people can sign up for it, and those who pass the examination can become officials, and all local officials will be promoted by officials in the future, and it is no longer forbidden to be officials in this province.
In addition, in order to observe the people's feelings, a separate House of the People was set up.
This is composed of provincial people's representatives, responsible for supervising the work of the cabinet, when dissatisfied with the work of the cabinet has the right to call the past to question, even the prime minister must also accept the question, if still dissatisfied, then the chairman of the House of the People has the right to hand the impeachment to the emperor, and for this impeachment of the emperor must be given priority, such as visiting the scene in person, let the House of the People besiege the prime minister in front of the emperor, including the cabinet decrees involving taxes must also be explained to the House of the People first, and the year-end financial revenue and expenditure must also be summarized and reported to the House of the People.
In fact, it is equivalent to the imperial history of the past.
But it was not appointed by the emperor, but elected by the local people, and it can be regarded as a kind of preparatory constitution, after all, this matter cannot be done overnight, and it must be gradually transitioned, through the election of those deputies in the House of the People, the electoral system will be established first, and then the ordinary people will be familiar with this kind of thing, and then it will be established in the form of a constitution. As for the election of the prime minister by the House of the People, it depends on the situation, anyway, under the condition that the emperor controls the economy, military and even spies, the prime minister is just a part-time manager, not a particularly important position, after all, even if the House of the People is elected, the emperor will definitely retain the final right to appoint.
In fact, Yang Feng never believed that there was a political system with the law of eternity.
This thing is a balance of interests.
It's not set in stone.
Interests are constantly changing, the balance point is also constantly changing, the right system today, the future may not be suitable, it seems unbelievable here system, maybe it will be very suitable in another place, it is pointless to entangle this kind of thing, if you play like this in the Song Dynasty, then he is a fool, and in this era he is a fool if he does not play like this.
In addition, the provincial capital and county levels also have the People's House.
The local People's Council also has the power to oversee the impeachment of local officials, and can even prosecute officials directly.
And knighthood.
This must also be had, what those heroes desire most is this, wouldn't it disappoint them if they were not knighted?
His knighthood is naturally still the system he is used to, the fifth-class title, the actual title, but the lord has no other privileges except as a landlord, as for the fief, this is very easy to solve, because theoretically all the land in the world belongs to the emperor, and the common people only rent and plant with a land rent and a half of the land, and no one has the right to trade the land except the emperor, so he just assigns part of the land to the lord. It's just that the common people transfer the rent that was originally to be paid to the state to the lords, this rent is statutory, no one can change it, and no other fees are allowed, so it is impossible to make a fortune by rent, the only advantage is to have the ownership of the land, so if there are minerals under the fief, then you are lucky, and if there are no minerals, then you have to farm, in fact, it is definitely more cost-effective for the lords to use slaves than tenants.
Of course, it can only be a castration.
The Chinese Dynasty will not allow the use of unoperated slaves.
Yang Feng was encouraging the use of slaves by his courtiers.
After all, the tenants' rent could not be endured by the courtiers in any case, and as long as they found that buying eunuchs would bring them more wealth than using tenants, they would certainly buy eunuchs in large quantities, and then slave farms similar to those in the American South began to appear. Next, those who reclaimed land in the northeast and northwest also began to use castrations, just like the tenant farmers abandoned by the lords, the country must not be ignored, either enter the factory or can go outside to reclaim the land in the form of state subsidies, and if there is a shortage of manpower, you can buy castrations, and then the colonies will also start to use these castrations, and the people of the Ming Dynasty can step on the bones of the slaves to enjoy a good life.
As for the workers, this is not difficult to solve, as long as agricultural production increases, making farming unprofitable, and industry can make huge profits, there will always be people who go into the factories, after all, the common people cannot just eat.
Just look at modern migrant workers.
And in the same way, when the population grows massively, and the influx of slaves exacerbates this pressure, external expansion has become an inevitable choice, any leader in his right mind will understand that with the support of the ideology of the Holy Religion, the ambition of the younger generation to expand the territory, coupled with the drive of population pressure, if the country is not aggressive in the future, it will be completely fantastical, especially when his cabinet system is always moving closer to the old Japanese state, intentionally or unintentionally, the prime minister does not want to expand externally, and those officers of the staff department still do not agree! It's a big deal to give you a heavenly punishment!
There is also his set of honors system, that is, the issuance of medals, the holder of the medal receives several generations of wages according to different ranks, this system has no other problems except to create a burden on the finances, and this problem can be solved by controlling the quantity, but the effect received is huge, even if he dies in battle, as long as he can exchange for medals, he can let his son and even his grandson receive a lifetime salary, so who on the battlefield does not fight bravely?
There is also the clan system.
That is, the children and grandchildren of Yang Feng.
This is not a knight, unless there is merit, the clan will not be knighted, this move can be regarded as a shock to the government and the opposition, after all, this is an unprecedented good thing, everyone understands that the Ming Dynasty was eaten to death by the clan to a large extent, but the descendants of His Majesty the Emperor will not be knighted unless they have merit, when they learned this, the government and the opposition were grateful for the generosity and selflessness of the Emperor.
Of course, there is no need to tell the people about his division of state-owned enterprises.
His division of the royal family is equivalent to the inheritance of future generations, which of course has nothing to do with the people of the country.
This is more profitable than any fiefdom, of course, it can't be said to be divided, but in the future, the imperial enterprises will be carried out in a joint-stock system, except for the Imperial Bank oil and the like must be exclusive to the emperor, and the other enterprises can be split into shares for their sons, is it more valuable to give his son tens of thousands of acres of land than to give him a part of the monopoly consortium shares?
That's it.
This is the system of political power.
At the same time, the holy religious system was also reintegrated.
In Nanjing, the Holy Church Altar was set up, His Majesty the Emperor served as the Pope, and it was always a rule, that is to say, the Emperor was always the Pope, and the Great Imam was set up in each province, appointed by the Pope, but there was no more at the prefectural level, and the Imam was set up at the county level, and the Grand Imam reported to the Pope for appointment, and a Holy Shrine was set up in each township, and the priest of the Holy Shrine was appointed by the county patriarch himself, and the Holy Shrine Priest was responsible for preaching, charity and compulsory education, and the Holy Church was responsible for the finances of the Holy Church, or the royal family.
Of course, donations are also accepted from believers.
But not to the priests, but directly to the Pope, which can be deposited into the Pope's account at the nearest 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, this reward is very operational, for example, it may be easier to take out a bank loan, you must know that the Imperial Bank is the emperor's, it may be the government's procurement tilt, in other words, government procurement, especially the procurement of the army, can be the same emperor's sentence, and for example, if there are children in the family who go to college, it is possible to receive an admission letter from the Royal University to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and even for some people who have made outstanding contributions, There is also the possibility of being knighted directly, of course, this knighthood is definitely not because he donated 100,000 yuan to the Pope, this is absolute, and it is absolutely impossible for the royal family to sell official titles......
At least not the God Emperor himself.
In short, the water is very deep, and his children and grandchildren have a lot of room for maneuver in the future.
Such a government system in which the two systems of God and man are parallel is established, and because the supreme ruler of God and man is the emperor, the system of God has become a subsidiary of the system of man, and the system of God gives the legitimacy of the system of man, interdependence and coexistence, which is perfect, as for the advanced nature of this system......
This Yang Feng admits that there is none.
In the eyes of future generations, it will definitely not be as good as the country on the other side of the ocean, but ......
It's all about the!
He knows that such an empire is most suitable for his external expansion, and he will be out of the house in a dozen years, there is no need to think too much about things in the future, and any advanced system in this era is useless, and the United States with an advanced system will let Washington burn down in 20 years!
