Chapter 285: The Empire Is First Established, The World Is Boiling(1/2)

On the basis of the separation of the four powers, there is also a special imperial power.

The imperial emperor reserved the power to sign treaties with other countries and declared war on other countries, as well as the power to supervise, impeachment, and pardon.

The Supreme Procuratorate of the Empire was a continuation of the Ming Dynasty's censor system, but this was different from the censors of the Ming Dynasty.

Although censors in the Ming Dynasty could impeach anything, some of the reasons for impeachment were too weak. Many impeachments involving personal style had nothing to do with very illegality.

The Supreme Procuratorate of the Empire was divided into two parts, one was a prosecutor and the other was an ombudsman. The prosecutors were appointed by the Congress, the cabinet, and the Supreme Court. These people were mainly responsible for anti-corruption and had the power to investigate any official.

The inspectors were selected from the public, which was equivalent to the censors of the Ming Dynasty. They could respond to any problem to any department or impeach illegal acts of officials, departments, and enterprises.

At the beginning of the founding of the empire, the separation of the four powers could not be formally implemented.

The main reason is that the election conditions are not met, so the Congress, the Cabinet, the Imperial Supreme Court, the Imperial Supreme Procuratorate, and the Imperial Constitution are all manipulated by Zhao Yan.

Members of Congress temporarily elected 100 from Shandong, and the other 400 were selected by veterans, workers, farmers, businessmen and other classes as honest and highly educated citizens.

The cabinet is not divided into parties for the time being, and former Shandong officials are appointed.

The Supreme Court of the Empire was also appointed by Zhao Yan. The Imperial Constitution was written many years ago and has been relatively complete. This set of laws has been implemented in Shandong, but it has only changed the titles in some of the details. Those who serve as judges must read the Imperial Constitution well and must also list the provisions in the Imperial Constitution when pronounced.

If a judge encounters a criminal regulation not specified in the Imperial Constitution, he or she can apply for "emergency trial guidance" to the Imperial Supreme Court, and the Imperial Supreme Court will make a judgment, and then submit the judgment result to the Congress with the new decree formulated by the Imperial Supreme Court. The Congress will vote whether to pass it. If it is passed, the legislation will be successful and the constitution will be added.

The Supreme Supervisor of the Imperial Supreme Procuratorate was also appointed by Zhao Yan. The list of the Supreme Procuratorates has been determined and Mao Yuanyi is temporarily appointed. The civilian supervisors are selected by various places and those who are proficient in the Imperial Constitution and are upright. The civilian supervisors can monitor without limiting location, department or industry.

The ombudsman can submit a ‘legislative report’ to Congress based on social phenomena. The legislative report can legislate the legal gap area as required, or require modification of existing laws.

According to the Ombudsman's report, Congress discusses the content of the legislation and will elect supporters and opposition parties to debate. Finally, Congress votes to decide whether to pass.

At the same time, the inspector can make suggestions on the working methods of various departments, express their voices to the people, and impeach any official.

Prosecutors inspect officials [***], while supervisors monitor everything in the world. The supervisors must make achievements within a certain period of time, otherwise they will be disqualified and replaced by others.

This forms a complete legislative channel. The legislation is submitted by the "Imperial Supreme Court" and the "Imperial Supreme Procuratorate" to Congress, and then the Congress decides whether it is passed. At the same time, the cabinet can also submit legislative requirements to Congress.

Zhao Yan is very busy in Zhaojiabao.

At the beginning of the founding of the empire, many things needed to be established, which was different from the previous warlord ruling system. At this time, what Zhao Yan wanted to establish was an empire that had lasted for generations, rather than a traditional feudal dynasty that had chaos and rule.

The reason why feudal dynasties in history have been chaotic and controversial was mainly because the system was corrupted, and what Zhao Yan had to do was to establish a system that could not be corrupted.

Whether this system can be maintained is closely related to the quality of citizens.

Judging from the current quality of the people of the empire, it is very difficult to maintain such a system without [***], so Zhao Yan needs to implement intervention measures. In an environment where Zhao Yan can supervise, this system can be maintained without [***].

Zhao Yan's goal is to improve the quality of the whole nation in his lifetime, and to make this system continue to operate after he dies.

The central system has been determined one after another. The Ministry of Education has been appointed Song Yingxing as the minister, Zhao Quan as the minister of the Ministry of Finance, Tang Zhengze as the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, and Zhao Quan’s deputy Lin Zhengyuan as the minister... The Military Department has been appointed Zhao Yan personally as the minister, Liu Heng as the chief of staff of the imperial department, and Li Zhi as the deputy chief of staff of the imperial department.

The Construction Bureau quickly submitted the Yanjing urban planning map, and Yanjing will use Zhaojiabao as the center and then expand it to the Huangxian area.

All departments in Zhaojiabao will be moved out, and Zhaojiabao will be the seat of the palace.

The Congress Building, the Imperial Supreme Court, the Imperial Supreme Procuratorate, and the Cabinet Administration Building are all located on the east side of the palace. The south side of the palace will be built as an "Imperial Square", and the west side will be built into an "Imperial Museum" and an "Imperial Library".

Although the new system has been determined, the administrative method still follows the previous method. However, Zhao Yan became the emperor and the administrative department became a cabinet.

Administrative efficiency is still as efficient as before, while the current administration mainly tends to accept provinces, and has stopped in terms of expansion.

The westward advance plan has stopped this year. After Nurkandus advanced to the area with the same vertical line as the western desert, it stopped expanding westward and instead strengthened the construction of the rear.

In the Americas, since the annexation of Central America, it has not continued to provoke the battle, but has begun to digest the territory it has built.

At present, the empire has controlled the west coast of America. Except for Peru, the west coast of America is controlled by the empire, while the east coast is Central America and Argentina, and most areas have not been developed.

Although the pace of expansion has stopped, the pace of immigration has not stopped at all. Instead, the number of immigrants has increased. This year, the number of immigrants has increased to 800,000. All regions are trying their best to digest the land and form a mass base.

At the beginning of the empire, there were new needs for the division of provinces.

Zhao Yan discussed with everyone for one day and divided the Chinese Empire province into three continents, one administrative region is Asia, the second administrative region is the North and South continents of the Americas, and the third administrative region is Australia.

Asia is divided into four administrative regions.

One is the traditional Han people's activities, that is, the original Ming territories. The second is the northern border area, the third is the Nanyang and Indochina Peninsula areas, and the fourth is the Western Regions.

The traditional activity areas are 16 provinces including Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Huguang, Jiangxi, Jianghuai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Taiwan.

After discussion, it was decided to split the Jianghuai River into two provinces, one is Anhui Province and the other is Jiangsu Province. Hainan Island was split out from Guangdong and established as a province with reading power.

The traditional administrative area has become eighteen provinces.

The northern region of Serbia includes Mongolia, Northeast China, North Korea, Hokkaido, Sakhalin Island, and Siberia.

The Northeast region is divided into three provinces, namely Liaodong Province, Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province. They are basically called later generations because this makes Zhao Yan feel more familiar.

North Korea is divided into two provinces, one is Lelang Province (North Korea) and the other is a south-facing province. Hokkaido and Sakhalin Island are combined into one province and named "Yuejing Province". Because the fishery resources of the two islands are developed, especially the many whales, they are named after whales.

Later Inner Mongolia was divided into southern Mori Province, while Mongolia was divided into northern Mori Province.

The area under the jurisdiction of Nurkandus, that is, the Siberian region, is bounded by fifty kilometers west of Lake Baikal, and everything in Siberia is two. The east is the "North Sea Province" and the North Sea is Lake Baikal. The boundary that has been advanced to the west to the present is named "Snowfield Province".

There are ten provinces in the northern region of the Seychelles.

The Western Regions have three provinces, west of Gansu. They are divided into three provinces: Qinghai Province, Tibetan Province and Western Desert Province.

The Nanyang region is divided into five provinces: Luzon, Java, Jiaozhi, Malacca and Sumatra.

The total number of provinces in Asia is 36 provinces.

In Australia, it is ruled to be divided into six provinces.

The Americas are divided into South America, North America, Central America, and the west coast of North America is centered on ports and is divided into five provinces, Central America is divided into three provinces, and South America is divided into two provinces.

There are 16 provinces in overseas colonial areas, and 36 provinces in Asia, which is 52 provinces.

Due to too many provinces, Zhao Yan divided the provinces into three levels. The first level is the highest, and the traditional Han people's activities are the first level province.

The second-level province is a developing province, and the Han people have an absolute advantage in the number of this province. For example, Taiwan is defined as a second-level province. The third-level province is a colony with many alien races.

The territory and provinces were determined, and the national flag was quickly formulated.

The national flag is designed as a three-color flag with blue left, red middle and green right. The blue and green colors occupy most of the area on both sides, representing the ocean and land.

A red line in the middle represents the Han ethnic group.

...The founding of the Chinese Empire has caused the entire China to fall into jubilation.

Those who were joking at the middle and lower levels were the people, and the vested people of the Ming Dynasty were not so happy, but the general trend was so unchangeable.

Fortunately for everyone, this is a peaceful dynasty change, and there is no conflict except for a decisive battle.

There are not many conflicts in the local area, mainly because there are a large number of armed police forces in each province, which have strangled the movement into the cradle.

Officials sent from Zhaojiabao successively took over administrative power from all over the country, allowing the people of Jiangnan to taste the first sweetness, that is, tax exemption.

The empire was established, and the tax exemption changed from the original ten acres to fifty acres.

Moreover, all the land taxes owed were cancelled, and the government also set up porridge sheds to accommodate the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, retried the criminals detained in prison, and overturned the case for the wronged. They also accepted complaints from the people and tried the cases fairly, which made the atmosphere in various places change.

Once the county magistrates of various places took office and settled the mess left by the officials of the previous dynasty, the first thing they did was to let the Civil Affairs Bureau register their household registration, then measure the local land, and announce the implementation of the "Agricultural Tax Reform Law" and the "Business Administration Regulations".

The district court is undoubtedly the busiest, with cases being tried every day. In addition to retrialing the criminals in prison, people are constantly coming to appeal after hearing the news.

The people in the world gradually surrendered, and the imperial order became stable.

However, it cannot be said to be precise in management. Because the territory of the reception is too large, there is no way to manage it accurately. The Jiangnan area received this time is different from the previous expansion.

Although the territory captured is large, there are not many people and it is relatively simple to manage. The Jiangnan region is the most populous region in China.

Almost half of the population lives south of the Yangtze River. If you want to carry out precision management in the south of the Yangtze River, it will take some time to improve it.

The orders Zhao Yan gave to officials from all over the country were to measure the land, count the population, register household registration, maintain good public order, and clean up old forces such as local tyrants.

At this time, the newspapers in Shandong were also fully cooperating with the establishment of the empire. The Ming Dynasty Yuebao was renamed "Imperial Yuebao".

Zhao Yan held a media Q&A meeting in Zhaojiabao.

During this media Q&A meeting, most of the reporters from various media seemed more restrained. After all, they were facing the imperial emperor, the supreme ruler, and had absolute power.

In this media Q&A meeting, Zhao Yan expressed his idea of ​​building the future of the empire, mainly focusing on eliminating professional discrimination, equality between men and women, equality between the monarch and the people, and education.

However, just as the media Q&A meeting was about to end, a beautiful reporter suddenly got angry and asked Zhao Yan a tricky question.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, what you said is 'equality of the monarchy and the people' is an idea that has not been proposed in the past dynasties. Allow me to ask if the Empire is determined to implement this idea and complete the separation of the four powers you proposed, or is the Empire just shouting a slogan to fool the people?"

The beautiful reporter looked excited, and looked at Zhao Yan with complex emotions. Her name was Qian Wen, and she was a lady from a wealthy family. His father was a salt merchant in Jianghuai. He was escorted by Jianghuai armed police for selling private salt to Shandong for trial. Therefore, she followed her to Shandong last year.

During her father's trial, Qian Wen came into contact with Shandong's feminist revival idea. With her skills, Qian Wen soon became a reporter in the newly established newspaper of the Civil Rights Daily. The Civil Rights Daily is a weak newspaper with few reporters in total. Soon, she was made famous in the newspaper. This time, the Civil Rights Daily was invited by the official, so she sent her here.

At the media Q&A meeting, Qian Wen was observing Zhao Yan's words and deeds. The questions in each newspaper were basically followed Zhao Yan's wishes, and the questions asked were not painful. After reading them for a long time, I couldn't help but ask questions.

She saw a stable and prosperous society in Shandong and was also exposed to the feminist idea that made her unable to extricate herself. She admitted that Zhao Yan was a good emperor, but she was deeply questioned Zhao Yan's equality with the monarchy and the people raised.

Zhao Yan was stunned for a while, why did someone suddenly come out to disrupt the situation?!

"This is indeed an idea that has not been seen in previous dynasties. The reason for this idea was that the important reason for the demise of all dynasties was that the monarch was incompetent and feudal centralization had huge bad roots. If an empire wanted to have a lifetime of generations, it was necessary to enact a constitutional monarchy. The premise of the constitutional monarchy was equal to the monarchy. Under the will to implement a constitutional monarchy, the empire had the determination to limit the privileges of the monarchy." Zhao Yan said: "Although constitutional stating cannot be achieved overnight, equality of the monarchy can be implemented immediately. All citizens of the empire can see that the emperor does not kneel..."

...Nanyang Jakarta.

"The name is outside, the name is outside, Chongzhen abdicated, the Chinese Empire was founded, Chongzhen abdicated, the Chinese Empire was founded..." A newspaper boy waved the newspaper in his hand excitedly, which was the name "The Ming Dynasty" urgently published by the "Ming Dynasty" changed to the "Imperial Day" name.

…Honolulu.

"The name is outside, the name is outside, Chongzhen abdicated, and the general established the Chinese Empire..."
