PS: A little change was made at the end of the previous chapter, you can check it out.

The battle for the national name lasted for nearly a month, and neither of the two factions could convince anyone, and finally Li Su really couldn't stand it, in his opinion, it doesn't matter what the country name is, the key is whether it can establish a political system that seeks welfare for the people, so that everyone can sincerely support their rule, so in the end he didn't bother to use his brains again, and directly set the country name as "Qi".

After the name of the country was decided, the next thing was to hold the founding ceremony, but Li Zhen and Li Yun did not establish the country at the same time as Li Su, but ranked the date of the founding of the country behind, mainly because they wanted to come to Li Su's founding ceremony in person.

On February 14, the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Li Su ascended the throne in Taiwan and called the emperor, the country name Daqi, Xiao Wenxin was the queen, the eldest son Li Mian was the prince, and the rest of Wu Meiniang, Wang Xijun, Cui Mengxue and Jin Shengman were concubines.

In addition to the harem, Li Su also rewarded the civil and military officials, but the administrative and military structure of the Qi State caused a new round of controversy.

For example, in terms of administration, many people have suggested copying Datang's three provinces and six ministries, believing that the reason why Datang is strong is mainly because of this relatively mature administrative structure, and even officials rarely take bribes.

However, this proposal was fiercely opposed by Wang An, and also pointed out that although Datang's three-province and six-ministry system is good, this system is only suitable for agricultural countries, and now with the development of Datang's industry and commerce, Datang's administrative system has become the source of hindrance to economic development, which is why Datang has more population and land, but it is not as good as Taiwan and other places in terms of industry and commerce.

For Wang An's opinion. After hearing this, Li Su was also very supportive, and the Central Plains Dynasty had always established the country with agriculture. Naturally, the administrative organs also serve agriculture, for example, the six ministries are officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers. But there is only one Ministry of Agriculture missing, which is actually because of the existence of these six ministries, which are mainly to serve agriculture.

However, from the very beginning, Li Su did not go to the country based on agriculture, but closer to the later generations to build the country with industry and commerce, although agriculture is important, but the contribution to economic development is far less than that of industry and commerce. It is precisely because of this that the Tang Dynasty's three-province and six-ministry system is indeed not suitable for moving to its own Qi country, at most it is just a reference in some aspects.

Figured it out. Li Su finally decided to support Wang An, and at the same time, a group of far-sighted officials were persuaded by Wang An, which made the opposition to copying a faction surge, and finally the civil and military officials of Qi finally reached an agreement to keep the original administrative method unchanged for the time being, but the title of the official changed dramatically.

First of all, Wang An used to be the prince of the Qi Palace, but he actually did the work of the prime minister, so after the establishment of the Qi State. Li Su was the first to appoint Wang An as the prime minister of Qi State, commanding hundreds of officials, and Lu Hong as the deputy prime minister, as Wang An's assistant. However, in order to prevent the prime minister from being autocratic. Referring to the system of later generations, Li Su limited the number of years of the prime minister's tenure, and the term of each prime minister was four years. And he can be re-elected for a maximum of two consecutive terms. As for the appointment and dismissal of the prime minister, it is temporarily up to His Majesty the Emperor of Daqi. That is, Li Su was nominated, and then voted by 100 officials. More than half of them are considered valid.

After the prime minister was determined, the rest was much simpler, followed by the upgrading of various administrative agencies, such as the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of National Defense, etc., although these names were copied by Li Su from later generations, but in fact, they were all set up in combination with the actual situation of Qi State, and the situation in charge of each department was also quite different from that of later generations.

Among them, the Minister of Industry and Commerce is served by Wang Zihao, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs is very important, Li Su transferred Tang Yizhi of Australia back to serve, and the Minister of Education is served by Xie Chun, a disciple of Li Chunfeng, the Ministry of Defense is related to the military, although it is only responsible for the administration and logistics of the army, and has no command over the army, but it also needs to understand the military, so Li Su appointed Liu Renliang to serve, and there are other ministers of various departments, all of which are also served by confidant ministers, and the ministers of various ministries and the prime minister form the cabinet system of Daqi.

However, it is worth mentioning that although the appointment and dismissal of these officials were discussed in advance by Li Su and Wang An, Wang An later presented the list of officials to Li Su in the name of the prime minister, and there were also deliberately several people on the list whose positions were different from those originally agreed, and then Li Su changed them and announced them at the court meeting.

This approach, while seemingly hypocritical, actually respected the laws of Daqi, and set an example for later prime ministers and kings, prescribing the kind of wrestling that both sides appreciated when forming a cabinet. Even Li Su is preparing to have people write a real constitution, clearly stipulating the powers of himself and the prime minister, so as to achieve the purpose of limiting the power of the monarch and the prime minister.

Li Su has always been a lazy person, and he was deeply influenced by later generations, so in terms of administration, except for retaining the right to appoint and dismiss an official, other administrative powers were delegated to the prime minister and the cabinet as much as possible.

Of course, he still retains an absolute veto power in political affairs, for example, when the cabinet deals with a certain political matter, if Li Su is not satisfied, then he can directly intervene, veto the cabinet's decision, and let the cabinet deal with it again, if Li Su is still not satisfied after three times, then Li Su will personally handle the political matter.

However, this absolute veto power is only a special product of the transitional period, and in the future, when the constitution is completed, Li Su will abolish it, after all, if this power is not used well, it is likely to cause excessive power of the monarchy, which will lead to the dissatisfaction of the courtiers. However, with Li Su's lazy temperament, I'm afraid this absolute veto power won't be used a few times, after all, he usually wishes there were fewer things, how could he have nothing to do?

Although Li Su is very loose on the administrative power, but the military power is very strict, the Minister of National Defense Liu Renliang was pulled up by Li Su, and he is also the old man of the Qi Palace, in addition, the Navy Admiral Lu Qing and the Army Admiral Su Dingfang have also followed him since Dengzhou, so there is naturally no problem in loyalty.

In addition to these high-level military officials, there are also Li Jingye and Cheng Huailiang, brothers who grew up with Li Su, they all belong to the middle level of the army now, and with them, Li Su does not have to worry about problems in the army. Moreover, among Taiwan's military academies, batch after batch of sea and land cadets graduate every year, and the cadets of the schools who have always been educated in the ideology of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism will all join the army to become grassroots officers, and this is also the greatest guarantee for Li Su to gain the loyalty of the army.

After the central administrative organs were set up, the local administrative institutions also changed, because Li Su's territory was no longer limited to one place, so Li Su divided the country into twelve states, including the earliest three Han Prefectures, Wazhou, and Taiwan, in addition to Linyi and Luzon were also independent states, it is worth mentioning that Luzon not only includes Luzon Island, but also a series of islands in the southeast are all included, and the area is similar to the Philippines in later generations.

In addition to the five states mentioned above, Nanyang is divided into four states, of which the Malay state on the north shore of Malacca has the Lion City as its capital, and the Golden Island on the south bank is also divided into one state, as well as Java and Borneo. Borneo is the largest of these and includes not only the large island of Borneo, but also Sulawesi on the east side.

In addition, there is the island of Ceylon next to Tianzhu, which is also independently classified as the state of Ceylon. Australia, which is already under development, has a vast area, but because the degree of development is not high and the population is relatively small, it is classified as an entire Australian state. It is worth mentioning that there is also a large island in the north of Australia, which was later called the island of New Guinea, but because the island is shaped like a turtle, it was named Turtle Island, and this huge turtle island is also classified as Australia.

In addition to the eleven states above, the last one is Hawaii, and it is also the farthest state from Taiwan, with the promotion of steamships, there is no need to go around to the United States from Taiwan to the Americas, but can start directly from Taiwan, and then arrive at Hawaii after passing through several ports, and after finally replenishing coal and fresh water here, you can directly reach the Americas, so the geographical location is very important.

It is also the important geographical location of Hawaii, so Li Su listed it as a separate state, as for the Americas, because there are only a few seaside ports and strongholds for the time being, and the distance is too far, so there is no state capital in the Americas for the time being.

The state is the second-level administrative unit of the Qi State, the highest governor is the Assassin History, and the administrative institutions in the state are similar to the central government, but they are all subordinate institutions of the central organs, and the power of the Assassin is also greatly weakened, and the garrisons of the states are separated from the administration, and it is strictly forbidden for the two to interfere with each other.

Below the state is the county, but the county of Qi is different from the county of Datang, the county of Datang is the lowest administrative unit, except for the county order, the county and the lord, there are no more officials, and the rest are all small officials recruited by the county government.

However, the counties of Daqi are completely different, the institutions in the county are also modeled after the central government, in addition to the county order, the others are branches of various ministries, although nominally under the management of the county order, but also have considerable autonomy, and the boundary between the official and the official has been very blurred, the county order is also promoted from the small officials, and it can even be said that as long as the person in the county government is called an official.

Moreover, the county was not the lowest administrative body of Daqi, and under the county, Li Su also set up a township level, setting up several or even a dozen villages as a township to strengthen his rule.

The above are all administrative agencies, and in addition to the administrative agencies, Li Su also set up a set of independent judicial institutions, these institutions include the police court, the inspection yuan and the courts, the top officials of these three courts are at the same level as the ministers, and are not subject to the management of any administrative officials, even the prime minister has no right to meddle in the judicial process, and even subject to the supervision of the inspection yuan, if the prime minister is found to be dereliction of duty, corruption and other crimes, he will still be prosecuted by the inspection yuan to the court.
