Chapter 284: Chinese Empire, Separation of Four Powers(2/2)
"Lin Yi was promoted to Lieutenant General of the Chinese Empire, granted a marquis, and rewarded 100,000 mu of Australian land."
"Wu Yongliang was promoted to major general of the Chinese Empire, and was granted viscount, and rewarded 80,000 mu of Australian land..."
...That night, in addition to what Zhao Yan read out, there was a large list of rewards below, including the soldiers who fell into battle, all of whom were added to the title and more than 500 acres of land.
The number of people on each list is as high as 50,000, and more than 50 million mu of land were directly divided. The more than 20 million mu of land will be managed by Denglai Agricultural University, and the income will be distributed according to the shares, which is the same as farms in the Northeast.
Such rewards are very low in many people's eyes, after all, the land is extremely large now. However, the Shandong senior management knows that this is Zhao Yan's usual style. Zhao Yan never rewards too many things and high-level management, but mainly focuses the reward objects on the middle and lower levels.
But no one dared to take credit for himself. Now the empire's family business was pulled by Zhao Yan. No one dared to say that they contributed more than Zhao Yan and had stronger abilities than Zhao Yan, or they thought that their contributions would be more than this.
Their status they have today was given by Zhao Yan. Their ability to achieve today's achievements was also due to Zhao Yan's establishment of a powerful army. This kind of strength is the strength of every grassroots soldier, not because of the strength of one of them. As long as they are not as stupid as a pig, they can win as long as they can receive the opinions of the General Staff.
Moreover, when Zhao Yan rewarded the generals and administrative personnel this time, he only distributed 100,000 acres.
Zhao Yan had already spoken to everyone present for the establishment of the Chinese Empire. In the future, the emperors have no absolute rights, and personal property and national property must be separated.
Currently, the official controlled enterprises are being split, and these enterprises are basically established by Zhao Yan and Zhao Quan.
For example, Denglai Textile Factory, Denglai Bank, Denglai Building Materials Company, etc.... But this time, Zhao Yan only retained 10% of the shares, Zhao Quan retained 5% of the shares, and the other shares belonged to the empire.
This time, Zhao Yan only distributed 100,000 acres, which left everyone without objection.
Although Zhao Yan was the founding emperor of the Chinese Empire in the future, he did not have absolute power. Although Zhao Yan could participate in state management during the excessive constitutional period, the cabinet could refute it.
In the future, the cabinet will pay the emperor a salary of 5,000 taels per month.
In addition, the kneeling ceremony is abolished. Any citizen of the Chinese Empire does not need to kneel to the emperor and does not belong to the Chinese Empire will still need to kneel three times and nine times.
All Zhao Yan's actions indicate that the empire is becoming more constitutional.
This kind of excessiveness does not mean that Zhao Yan has lost his power. Even if his power is restricted, with his prestige, no one can stop him even if he wants to break the rules.
This involves a question of self-discipline.
This is not an empire with the purpose of rule, but an empire with the purpose of benefiting the people. Although this "Spoils and Spreads" divided more than 50 million acres of land, this is the land of Australian indigenous people.
...On October 18, the 12th year of Chongzhen, Zhao Yan officially ascended the throne in Zhaojiabao. He married Princess Changping and conferred Zhou Yuan and Princess Changping as queens, Zhu Youjian as the Supreme Emperor, and Yan Yuyao and Shalena as imperial concubines.
At this time, Yan Yuyao gave birth to a baby boy, and Zhao Yan named him Zhao Yuan, which means that the future development of the empire is as flat and open as a plain.
It is said that Zhao Yan issued an edict to the world that the Chinese Empire was officially established and changed the 12th year of Chongzhen to the first year of the empire. Anyone wearing Han clothes and hats were all citizens of the empire, and everyone among the empire citizens was equal. They could not kneel when they saw an official, and they could not kneel when they saw the emperor, and all low-priced households were eliminated. All self-cultivated farmers and tenants were exempted from taxes. The rent of all land shall not exceed 20 kilograms of rice per acre.
This time, Zhao Yan issued an edict, and did not ask the person with the same name to change his name, nor did he impose a general amnesty for the whole world. He only asked local courts to re-examine the suspects and correct the wrong cases of the previous dynasty.
After Zhao Yan held a simple throne ceremony that day, he held a meeting in Zhaojiabao to continue discussing the separation of powers.
After three days of discussion, Zhao Yan decided to establish a parliament, cabinet, imperial Supreme Court, and imperial Supreme Procuratorate to implement the separation of four powers.
Congress is responsible for legislation, the cabinet is responsible for administration, the Imperial Supreme Court is responsible for justice, and the Imperial Supreme Procuratorate is responsible for overseeing officials.
Eleven departments were established in the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Scientific Research, and the Ministry of Culture.
These ten departments are managed by the cabinet.
In addition, there are military departments that can be read through the power of reading. The military departments are under the jurisdiction of the imperial emperors. The military departments have military intelligence bureaus, military supplies offices and other institutions, which are under the jurisdiction of the army, navy, and air force.
There are 500 members of Congress, elected by various places and are responsible for legislation. The cabinet is composed of citizens' elections, and the cabinet's chief assistant is responsible for administration. The Supreme Imperial Court is responsible for justice, and the Supreme Imperial judge is elected by the people of the law department. The Imperial Supreme Procuratorate has set 500 prosecutors, elected by various places, and the Supreme Procurator General is elected by the people of the country.
Of course it is an election, but the basic conditions for election are not met at present. First of all, the education is not up to standard. Therefore, the power of the cabinet is not that great, and Zhao Yan still controls the administrative power.
In the future, the process of separation of four powers will be gradually improved.
This process must be maintained by force, so Zhao Yan still firmly controls military power.
