Chapter 341 Discussing the Government

After Loran left, Kalyn asked Zhang Ziqiang: "Father, now I am in Rosiding every day. I have no time to take care of the province of Culas, and Gray has also been demoted to the county magistrate. The position of governor of the province of Culas cannot be suspended for a long time. Who does the father think it is appropriate to send?"

After hearing this, Zhang Ziqiang meditated in his heart that it was not only the province of Kulas, but now the founding of the country is about to be imminent. There are also 102 counties in the Divine Palm. In the past, the Kingdom of Al was four prefectures and one district. Later, the province of Kulas was marked out, and the three western provinces in Berwick were also newly identified. The Nusen Mountains and Hai'an Mountains do not count, and the total territory area is more than 5 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to most of China! Although the population is only about 30 million, it is obviously not possible according to the original management method of family territory.

The four prefectures and one district were changed to five provinces, plus the three western provinces, the Kuras province and the Shenzhang Plain, a total of ten provinces. Now there are only four governors, and not one or two are missing.

During his trip to Nusen Mountain, the family's private army was also quite deficient in dispatching and command. In the future, even a country's soldiers could no longer significantly strengthen the power of the Ministry of War like managing the family's private soldiers. In addition, government affairs must also be regulated. To do these things, there must be people. The previous nepotism was not advisable. It had to be managed in the form of a state, and the selection of talents and appoint officials was required. This required a complete system.

Zhang Ziqiang had never eaten pork and had seen pigs walking. In the feudal period of China for thousands of years, feudal dynasties seemed to have the same and slightly different. There were great men who established the new China. He himself lived under the political system with Chinese characteristics and was in a society with information explosion. The political systems of Western countries were also influenced by the eyes and could say something, and there were too many choices for him, but no matter which political system he knew, he could not use it here in a rigid way.

First of all, we cannot use a democratic system. This is a society where imperial power is supreme. Even the Kingdom of Al was once governed by six major families. There is no soil for democracy here. There is a difference in abilities between people. Those with high cultivation contribute greatly to society and live for a long time. Naturally, their knowledge is different. Can you expect a Jindan monk who can live for 800 years and a civilian who can only live for 200 years to talk about democracy? Obviously this is unrealistic.

He would not think about democracy. He was not good at being a good emperor and had to make a revolution. Didn’t he eat too much? What he had to do was to urge his subordinates to formulate laws and ensure that people of all classes have equal personality.

Secondly, absolute dictatorship is not enough. If the imperial system commonly used in the mainland is adopted, there will inevitably be a foolish monarch among the descendants, and they will inevitably embark on the road of destruction of the country and the ancient Chinese. Such cases are like this, whether in the mainland or in ancient China, all dynasties have been like this, so there should be appropriate restrictions on the power of the monarch, so that the country will exist for at least a longer time.

He knew that the demise of dynasties in China was related to land annexation. The people had no land to farm, so they could only help the landlords farm. When they encountered natural disasters, they would be hungry all over the ground. If they had food, they could survive and the people would not rebel.

But this world is different. There are face trees in this world, and there have never been any natural disasters. As long as the civilians in the countryside have a place to live, they plant more than a dozen face trees in front of and behind the house, and the whole family will have food. Although there is a slight shortage of food in the county town, as long as they help people work for a few days, the money they earn will be enough to support themselves. If they can't live in the county town, they will have to go to the countryside.

In the final analysis, the land output here is large, and the land use efficiency is much higher than that in China. As long as the population is not large to a certain extent and the administration is clear and clear, civilians can live without any resentment towards the ruling class.

The civilians in this world are easily ignored by the ruling class because civilians do not have force, and no matter how many civilians in the Qi Refining Stage can't beat a Jindan monk. They are born with such differences in ability. Even if civilians are exploited, as long as they can have food and clothing, they can endure it silently and there will be no riots.

The countries on the mainland mostly perished by the divisions within the nobles and by the hands of other countries. For example, the Yanhuang family created by Zhang Ziqiang, if they were replaced by people born in the Gua God Continent, Carus's throne would not be stable. In the Gua God Continent, the target that the ruling class needs to be guarded against is only powerful nobles.

If the country wants to survive for a long time, we have to find ways to limit the growth of the noble family in a systematic way. Now the other five countries in the mainland are well controlled in this regard, so he can apply it. In addition, we must prevent the internal division of the royal family. Most of the powerful countries that unified the mainland were destroyed because of this reason. However, because the Yanhuang family has a natural advantage, it should be avoided as long as he designs it well.

Zhang Ziqiang thought about it and then slowly said to Kailin: "The country will be established in two months. The Governor of the Kuras Province can first let Fennath temporarily be replaced. After the founding of the country, you should consider how to establish the system, how to establish the law, how to select talents, and how to manage the army after the founding of the country."

Kailin was confused when she heard this big problem, and it was okay to let her Xiao Guicao follow her, but she was powerless to develop a complete national system. So she frowned and asked, "Does Father have good ideas?"

"I have an idea, but it's not very mature. I said, you write it down first, and then go to find a few general managers to study it carefully." He thought while knocking on the chair and told the instructions. Kailin took out a jade slip and started to record it.

"After the founding of the country, the administrative system was divided into four levels: the monarch, the cabinet and the ministers of various ministries, the provincial, county, and the county were appointed by the county magistrate, the county magistrate was recommended by the cabinet or the Ministry of Personnel, and the monarch was appointed directly and was managed by the provincial governor..."

Zhang Ziqiang gave Kailin a detailed explanation of the three provinces and six ministries in ancient China. These were nothing new, and other countries were generally the same. However, the selection of talents was very different. The mainland countries were directly recommended by officials, and there was no unified standard. However, he was preparing to implement the imperial examination system. However, there were many subjects examined, including government affairs, trade, diplomacy, agriculture, sericulture, taxation, law, etc., and the people participating in the examination had no limits in their background, but they had the requirements for cultivation and had the foundation-building period at the very end.

This condition actually limits most civilians to participate in politics. The nobles should not be too resistant, but they also give civilians a chance.

In addition to the imperial examination system, he also refined the responsibilities and powers of officials at all levels. Every year, the monarch and six cabinet ministries formulated plans for each province. The governors and officials of each province will assign tasks to the following counties according to the actual situation and supervise the implementation of each county. The county and county codes will once again subdivided the tasks, and the nobles and wealthy businessmen in the county will participate in politics, and the town level will be handed over to them to compete with each other. Which nobles and wealthy businessmen can complete the plan as required, they can enjoy 20% of the total tax revenue of the town.

The tax officials of each county are appointed by the cabinet and ministers of various ministries and are responsible to the cabinet and the king. All taxes are collected from the civilians and used for the people. The cabinet ministers formulate distribution plans. The royal family does not occupy a single part. The Yanhuang family itself has so many new technologies. Even if it develops greatly in the future, it will be enough for the royal family to enjoy it. At the very least, there is the Shenzhang Plain, which is the private property of the royal family and is more than enough to support the tribes.

In this way, as long as the monarch is slightly inclined to civilians at the beginning of each year, the interests of civilians can be protected. During the implementation process, other families are watching from the nobles and wealthy businessmen, and they dare not violate the law and discipline. However, as long as the nobles complete the annual tasks honestly, they will have good returns and their interests can be guaranteed.

Of course, the king's plan was not something that was thought out by slapping his head. Zhang Ziqiang gave Jindan monks an opportunity to participate in politics. Every family has the right to recommend a Jindan monk to the king, and the king appointed them as the patrol envoy. They have the right to inspect the governance situation in all regions of the country. Once something illegal or disorderly is discovered, they can directly appeal to the local provincial governor and ask the governor to handle it according to the law.

At the same time, these inspectors can submit bills to the monarch and the cabinet, modify and formulate draft laws. The monarch and the cabinet ministers determine the annual plan based on their bills and the information investigated by the Investigation House.

Zhang Ziqiang's move is to learn from the current system of China. The golden elixir monks in the Artifact God Continent are all prides of heaven. Only when the ruling class can get their support can the country's foundation be stable.

The reason why he stipulated that each family could only recommend one Jindan monk was to limit the big family. When a family had two Jindan monks, they would either separate or have equal political power with other families. After the Jindan monk was truly separated from the family, they considered mostly his direct interests. Moreover, the newly separated family lived with the original family, and there would inevitably be conflicts in interests. At that time, there would be no more family, but two families.

The patriarchs of the clans of the original Al Kingdom had too much power. Many families only knew the clan rules but did not know the national laws. The clan leaders even had the power to decide the life and death of the clans! This was extremely unfavorable to the long-term stability of the country. He raised the law to the same height as the imperial power. The clan rules of all families must be based on the law of the state. When the clan rules cannot restrain the clans, the basis of the clan existence will be shaken.

He also made adjustments in the military, first of all, to delineate the responsibility of public security from the military, and to maintain public security in the future, it is the responsibility of the county magistrate, and the army only cares about war.

The king personally controls the 100,000 imperial guards. Each province has a military region and stations 10,000 soldiers. The logistics of these 10,000 soldiers is the provincial governor. However, the personnel appointments of military officers and the right to order troops to fight are controlled by the cabinet ministers. The king controls the 100,000 imperial guards, and the ministers in the cabinet are in charge of 100,000 field troops. Both sides have restrictions.

He thought that no matter how stupid the monarch is in the future, he would not be able to make all the cabinet ministers one-sided. If such a monarch really appears, he should die!
