Section 308 Organization (6)
?Cao Chuan's procedural modification of the cannon of aristocrats was definitely not for himself. Everyone knows this. The founding emperor had the greatest rights, and someone could cannon a noble without anyone approving it.
However, the establishment of rules itself is to restrain the strong. Even if Cao Chuan can do whatever he wants, his descendants will not be so strong, so the modification of the rules he proposed today is actually prepared for descendants.
Although the king under the monarchy system has the right to enthrone aristocrats, in fact, the candidate aristocrats are nominated by the minister or parliament, and the king still has the right to hold ceremonies.
As the capital society grows, the so-called titles will lose their symbolic significance as feudal landlord class.
It won’t take many years to deteriorate the title of aristocraticism very soon: any indigenous social elite who have made meritorious service to the country or have outstanding contributions to literature, art, science, etc. can be awarded titles.
In this situation, Cao Chuan wanted to make a vacancy for his descendants: if he had a few private quotas in his hands, he could enthrone a few rich and unkind bastards when he had nothing to do, which could be considered as finding a way for his descendants.
However, his heart and soul were seen through by the cunning ministers at the first time. On this issue, the members of the two parties instantly tacitly combined into one: Is it politically correct to restrict the imperial power?
So the "both sides" launched a round of "friendly and friendly" "exchange of opinions" on this issue. Finally, after all the matters of title enthronement were included in a package of negotiations, everyone reached a simplified version of the sixth-class imperial title enthronement system.
Considering that this country established by time travelers will transition to a fast-paced industrial society in the future, they do not intend to enfeoff the feudal system. The aristocrats in the industrial society have no rights under the feudal system, and in the end they are all a bunch of down-and-out goods who have no real power or money. Maybe they have to rely on marrying their daughters to emerging capitalists. What's the point of sealing them?
Therefore, the participants unanimously decided: except for the heirs who are ranked among the top royal family, who can be awarded the title of "duke" and "prince", the other royal people will no longer be awarded the title.
As for more than 2oo time travelers, they will receive the title of "Baron" as the lowest level aristocratic; in this way, the time travelers will meet the requirements of forming a noble parliament.
The third class "Hou, Bo, and Zi" among the fifth-class titles will be temporarily blank. In the future, these positions will be awarded to those who have made great contributions to the country and a few retired senior government officials... in fact, they are similar.
The above fifth-class titles are all "hereditary titles" with a small number. For those social elites from all walks of life, there is also a lowest-level "national sage" title that cannot be hereditary is waiting for them.
This title of "National Sir" is between aristocrats and civilians, and is actually a simple version of the title of "Jazz".
The jazz titles evolved from the ancient knight system are actually quite complex, with nine levels. The time travelers naturally don’t need so many levels - the public won’t care which level of the jazz Run Run Shaw and Ferguson’s.
The rules of canonization proposed by Emperor Cao at the beginning were also reflected in the level of "national sage". People from both parties finally reached a compromise with Cao Chuan: the emperor could enthrone two social elites at the level of "national sage" without passing the consent of the parliament and minister every year.
......
After the negotiations on the Prison System were completed, everything was quiet, and the moon was in the sky. After a brief rest, the participants were enthusiastically engaged in the last major bargaining: treatment of the imperial family.
As mentioned earlier, Mr. Cao was a third-rate university graduate and was not that easy to fool. So when talking about the treatment of the emperor in the future, he was quite tough.
The so-called treatment, annuity and salary are secondary, and territory is the key. Unlike other time travelers, the emperor can have tax-free territory, just like the imperial houses in the old world - the tax on the territory is still charged, but it has not entered the treasury and entered the emperor's pocket.
After arguing with each other, the two sides finally reached an agreement: the future royal family can choose one territory on the east and west, and the total area must not exceed 10 square kilometers.
The next moment, Cao Chuan rubbed his face, took a deep breath, and stretched out his fingers and first drew a circle on the map spread out in front of him: "Let's just be here, remote, sandy land, and there are no people."
Next, he clicked on an island east of the map: "Well, this place looks so desolate, and I will reluctantly make it difficult for me to help you deal with the bad assets."
The first circle was called 6jiazui in later generations. The second circle was called Manhattan Island in later generations. The two pieces of land combined are about 1 oo square kilometers.
......
Even though all the officials and workers were through many battles, they were shocked by the emperor's shamelessness at this moment.
The so-called tax-free territory is just to provide some compensation to the royal family with huge expenses. Everyone is tacit in this regard: don’t make any noise, just let the people talk less.
However, someone is going to pretend to be stupid: Manhattan, which is the size of a palm, has a GDP of 5.5 billion US dollars in 2016, and the sledgehammer has been waiting for a lifetime, and its total assets are only 300 million US dollars...
Can these two bridgeheads with big 6 items be owned by private individuals? Can you get $1,800 billion in taxes a year? Emperor? Are you afraid it is Shi Lezhi, and you don’t know if there is a kind of equipment called a guillotine?
"Cough..." Xia Xianze rarely sank his face at this time: "Mr. Cao, we just pretend that we didn't hear it. You can choose two new places here."
"Why should I re-select the place I choose based on my ability?!" Cao Chuan was furious when he heard the sound.
"Well... this, Your Majesty, you are really too terrifying to compete with the people for profit!" Bai Hongda also stood up and helped.
"I have invested in the empire, I have been stunned for the empire, I...I have decided, you can follow the order."
"This is a disorderly order, and I dare not obey the order."
The hard negotiations officially began at this moment. Then the ministers took turns to fight, leveraging the advantages of a large number of people, explaining the interests and making great efforts, and speaking with all their hearts. During this period, some teacups flew, they finally comforted the inflated Emperor Cao.
The two sides finally reached an agreement. The previous fiefdom became three pieces, and as for the location...6 Jiazui couldn't think of it, but it was OK next to 6 Jiazui. So a piece of land was drawn out in the Taicang area in the north for the emperor to ruin.
Manhattan also handles the same: Don’t think about it when you go to the island. A piece of land is drawn out in New Jersey, which is full of low-end population...at least next to Manhattan, it’s all neighbors, right?
The additional piece of land is in Hawaii, and it will be enough for the emperor to be a landlord in the future.
......
After all the topics were discussed, it was already early morning before we knew it, and dawn was about to break out in the east. And these people who had been working hard for the country for a day and a night were standing in front of Jianyuan Hall, breathing in the cool morning air, looking at the lights of Taijiang, and then looking down at the hard-won drafts in their hands, everyone had a breath of atmosphere.
In just 24 hours, the young empire controllers stumblingly completed the incubation of the most core system of the empire. This four-dimensional regime that grew up under the fierce collision of Eastern and Western thoughts has a lot to go in the future.
After deciding the future of the empire, the next moment people scattered like birds and beasts... Now they need to go back to take a break.
Xia Xianze and Cao Chuan were not so lucky. Lao Xia had to quickly arrange for his subordinates to copy and record the draft, and there was still a lot of subsequent copywriting work.
Cao Chuan is going to return to his later generations. The commemorative coin companies, custom-made national flag companies, and clothing factories that he had contacted before can start moving. Thanks to the light industry of his later generations, as long as the money is given, gold, silver dollars, flags and dresses, etc., some essential things that can be made soon.
......
As the big day approaches, the atmosphere on the island of Little Daguan is becoming more and more tense. Not only are there guards sent in front of all the shopping malls, but diplomatic envoys from various countries have also received a clear notice: In the past half month, all shopping mall staff will not be allowed to trek in other places except for Binhai Fengqing Road.
Or, you can temporarily move to the opposite North Line Island and come back in a few days.
However, unexpectedly, in addition to expressing respect for the notice, all the envoys of the mall also made it clear that they would never leave their nest: foreigners who expected that something big would happen would never miss this good opportunity to observe.
In the following days, a large number of ships cruising outside also returned to Taijiang. With the arrival of these ships, all the travelers scattered in the Ming Dynasty and some "progressive people" also came to the senior officials.
The personnel of the intelligence stations stationed in Jiangnan and Fujian in the empire all retreated this time. In addition, Mr. Zhou Tong, an old friend who traveled through the journey, came with the ship together this time.
On the day when he was a senior, Zhou Tong went to the Kiln Industrial Park with great enthusiasm to see it. Although Zhou Tong had tried his best to overestimate the abilities of these "upper world immortals", he was still shocked when he saw those cold, emotionless assembly lines and the industrial products rolling out from it.
What shocked Zhou Tong the most was not the industrial park. What do the people of traditional agricultural countries care about the most? Food! Even if they are a bandit, their nerves in agriculture are extremely sensitive.
So when Zhou Tong saw the seedlings on the plain that looked like green blankets, and the gas tractors emitting black smoke, dragging a long steel plow, slowly plowing the land on the Great Plain, he truly let go of his worries about the future of the empire and sighed at the good luck of the brothers in Pingfeng Village.
In addition to Zhou Tong and others, there is also a person who must be mentioned. He also returned to the senior official: Comrade Huang Zhicheng, who is loved by everyone. Brackets: Deputy Director, Juren. Lu Ming
