After talking about military defense, Lin Yan asked a question that he had been thinking about for a long time.
As soon as she finished speaking, the four of them stared at her in disbelief.
Huang Ying was the first to say: "Are you serious?"
Lin Yan nodded and said seriously: "I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I haven't mentioned it yet because I think it's not time yet. There are still a few months until the general election, and I don't think I can delay it any longer."
"This year, I have sorted out the data from the past ten years since the league was unified. The time has come and it is time for reform."
"In the past ten years, the population has doubled, and the number of cities in each state has continued to increase. Even the most backward and desolate Yunzhou is now hundreds of miles inhabited. The population surge and scientific and technological progress have driven rapid development but also brought various problems."
"Although the Arbitration Court has delegated some powers to the state capitals, it is not enough. Therefore, I think it is imperative to establish a People's Court."
In order to have a clearer understanding of the situation in various places, to benefit the people of the alliance, to implement the purpose of the alliance, and to manage democratically, Lin Yan has long been thinking about establishing a People's Yuan.
In fact, it is to select representatives from cities at all levels to make suggestions for local development and put forward opinions to the arbitration court on behalf of various places.
Representatives of the House of Representatives have the right to participate in the management of the alliance, and their opinions are related to the development of the alliance.
Lin Yan has always felt that different voices must be listened to and not monopolized. When the Sun Alliance was founded, it advocated democracy and the rule of law.
As the population grows, there are many knowledgeable people and many people with ulterior motives. Lin Yan wants to establish a People's Yuan to implement democracy and the rule of law.
The alliance belongs to everyone, not to anyone. Only in this way can everyone be encouraged to protect it together.
Shuisheng was puzzled, "It's good like this now. There is no exclusive power and there are many supervisory agencies at all levels. Why do we need to set up a People's Yuan?"
He feels that the alliance's management system is already the best. The powerful class has been eliminated and there are no slaves. The people of the alliance are very lucky.
The People's Court is a redundant move. If cities at all levels select people, they must be extracting opinions that are beneficial to themselves.
What's more, Lin Yan also wants representatives of the People's House of Representatives to have the right to vote when discussing major matters, just like members of the House of Representatives. This also involves the issue of division of responsibilities.
The Court of Arbitration is indeed very busy. There are many things that need to be held in parliament, such as the revision of the rules and regulations of the Nine Ministries and the revision of laws. Today, the Nine Ministries are not as leisurely as before, and there are many things to do. Some urgent matters will be handled by the arbitrator through consultation.
Because of this, Lin Yan proposed to establish a People's Yuan and set up standing representatives to handle specific matters together with the nine ministries.
From now on, the Arbitration Court will only make general decisions and formulate strategic plans, and the specific implementation will be jointly carried out by the Nine Ministries and the People's Yuan.
Lin Yan clarified Shui Sheng's doubts: "Don't you feel irritated? Faced with so many report data every day, I have to come to you for big and small matters. If this continues, the people of the Arbitration Court will be exhausted."
"In the past, when there were only a few people, we had to pay attention to details and take care of everything big and small. It is impossible to still do this now. Our pattern must be big and our vision must be long-term. When there was only Sun City, we would take care of it ourselves. When the wasteland is unified, We govern by state, and we must change with development.”
She has just said that the Arbitration Court is the highest institution representing the Sun Alliance, leading various institutions to jointly manage the alliance.
The People's Yuan and the Nine Ministries work in parallel and supervise and manage each other. The Nine Ministries have the power to govern, and the People's Yuan serves as a supervisory support.
Representatives of the House of Representatives are jointly elected by everyone in each city who meets the requirements of the voters, representing the people of each city participating in the coalition's governance.
The House of Representatives also has the right to nominate candidates in election years and organize elections together with the Court of Arbitration.
At the same time, depending on the level of the city, the number of elected representatives is different. For example, if a state has a large population, the number of representatives must be the largest.
Shi Zhi understood, "It does make sense. The alliance is getting bigger and bigger, and it is really not feasible to let parliamentarians make decisions on everything. It is also possible to establish a People's Yuan. The functions and authority of each agency must be clearly defined, otherwise it will be just nonsense."
Lin Yan nodded in agreement, she also meant the same thing. Set up the rules first and act accordingly.
Regarding the House of Representatives, the five people discussed it for three days, added everything they could think of, and jointly submitted a proposal for review by the parliament.
Unlike any previous motion, it caused a major earthquake.
The House of Commons has many power pitfalls. The number of representatives in the proposal is determined according to the level of the city. Based on the existing cities in the alliance, there are a total of 128 representative seats.
If the bill is passed, 128 people will enter the league's civil servants at one time, which will definitely be a big earthquake.
Some people are against it, some are in favor of it, and everyone has their own opinion. In the end, a vote is taken according to the parliamentary system.
Five arbiters took the lead, and the results were expected.
The motion was passed and will be jointly implemented by the Alliance Election Committee, the Personnel Management Department and the Inspection and Supervision Department. The appointment of representatives to the Democratic House must be completed within half a year.
It will take time for the House of Representatives to implement it, and it will obviously not be able to catch up with the general election in the 40th year of the Solar Era. When the old and the new change, the old rules will still be followed.
On the eve of the announcement of the results of the general election, Bai Chen and Feng Wenwen rushed back from Dongli Dynasty.
They didn't show up last time and never came back. Lin Yan sent someone a letter to get them back.
As a member of parliament, you cannot stay away from the public for a long time and must shoulder your responsibilities.
Seeing each other again after eight years, the former friends were inevitably excited, and Lin Yan gave them a big hug. Although we can communicate, it is still not as good as meeting in person.
She looked at the two of them carefully. Wen Wen had not changed much, while Bai Chen looked a little more smoky than before.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for so many years. You are so happy to miss Shu. If I hadn't written a letter to ask you to come back, you would have had to wait a few more years."
Feng Wenwen's words were concise and to the point, "No." She has specialized in studying the potions of divine messengers over the years, and has achieved some success.
Tiangong secretly found a place to train talents in this field. Feng Wenwen led people while studying to reserve talents for Tiangong.
Bai Chen said: "We had planned to come back and we have been making preparations for a long time."
"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Yan said sincerely and solemnly, "You have made the Tiangong flourish everywhere in the Dongli Dynasty and occupy its place. No one can underestimate it."
The Tiangong Project, which came up as an idea at that time, has proven to be very successful in practice. Not only did it successfully enter the Dongli Dynasty and recruit tens of thousands of talents, it also provided important external resources to the Sun Alliance, which greatly boosted the alliance's economy.
Today's Tiangong is no longer a small power in the Dongli Dynasty, and no one dares to bully it casually.
In the process of development and growth, countless jealous people came to our door and were severely slapped in the face.
Bai Chen shook his head, "Don't say those kind words. We are all here for the alliance and for the common belief."
Lin Yan smiled, "That's right. You have just come back. Go home and rest for a night. Let's get together tomorrow."
Since the invention of the telegraph, technology has been updated rapidly. Even in the Dongli Dynasty, it was very convenient to transmit information.
They were transmitting information by telegraph through Tiangong shops one after another under the eyes of everyone in the Dongli Dynasty.
The information was transferred quickly, and both parties exchanged information. Lin Yan was not in a hurry to ask questions in person.
