Urban reform!
This has never been done in Longyan.
So as soon as Liu Zheng's proposal came out, the whole place was buzzing.
Everyone knows that after the establishment of the constitutional monarchy, Liu Zheng was gradually depriving the royal family and nobles of their privileges and their influence on Long Yan.
but……
Facing the strong Liu Zheng, no one could refute him.
community system.
The reforms Liu Zheng plans to make in Youzhou include the administrative center of Youzhou.
He proposed to set up a small parliament in Youzhou as well. The structure of the parliament should be based on the Long Yan Parliament. This is not a new thing, because Liangzhou is doing the same thing today. It's just that Liangzhou is Liu Zheng's base camp, so no matter how much he troubles others, they don't pay too much attention. Today he plans to start pilot reforms like this across the country, but this is different.
In Youzhou, there will no longer be any prince with a governor, but the governor is no longer the one-spoken official he was before, and the prefect is equivalent to Long Yan's chief minister in the cabinet.
It is equivalent to the governor of modern society.
Then, the same goes for every city and county under Youzhou.
Under the governor is the prefect.
And so on.
More importantly, it is the community system.
From now on, there will no longer be distinctions between aristocratic areas, civilian areas, commercial areas, and rural areas.
Fang and city will come interspersed.
The governors and governors will no longer be appointed by the court, but will be elected by the parliaments one by one. The electees no longer have excessive requirements for family background and knowledge. After the governor and governor are selected, the list is sent to the court. Although the court will have a veto power, it will respect the choices of the people of Youzhou to the greatest extent.
As soon as this proposal came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.
However, in the face of Youzhou's repeated rebellions, these opponents also fell silent.
yes.
Before them, there was a prince in Youzhou, but what did they do in Youzhou.
It not only gave the people of Youzhou a full sense of insecurity, but also led their soldiers and people to live in dire straits every day. But since ancient times, the prince's order has been heaven. He said he was going to fight, but in the end it would only lead to the death of his own soldiers at the hands of the same Long Yan people.
The people naturally complained, but they could not make the decision themselves.
But if Liu Zheng's community system is implemented, the situation will be different.
You want to fight?
Well, it has to pass a vote in parliament first.
Youzhou wants to fight?
Well, it must first pass the consent of all cities and counties.
If the people think it is a just war, then they will fight it no matter what. But if it is not, then the war will definitely not be fought. This put an end to Youzhou's "tradition" of rebellion to the greatest extent.
Of course Liu Zheng has also considered the disadvantages of this system.
That is, it is easy for orders to be changed overnight and policies to be implemented insufficiently thoroughly.
But there is no way. If you gain something, you will lose something.
Tough negotiations, and arguments.
Of course Liu Zheng won.
A decree was sent to the whole country.
The people in Youzhou were all excited.
When King Jin got the decree, he breathed a sigh of relief. He has been stationed in Youzhou recently. Frankly speaking, he had no optimistic ideas about the situation in Youzhou. It was too chaotic, and several rebellions brought great scars to Youzhou. Not only did the imperial court no longer trust Youzhou, but Long Yan no longer regarded Youzhou as one of his own. More importantly, the people of Youzhou have lost their credibility in the government.
While King Jin was waiting for the court's order, his think tank had actually been discussing this matter.
Youzhou must be saved.
It is impossible for Long Yan to abandon Youzhou, but how to save it?
To put it bluntly, no matter how others save you, it is all in vain.
Only one can save oneself.
But how to save myself, I don’t know.
When he saw Liu Zheng's decree, he couldn't help but admire: "The first assistant is indeed the first assistant. His political wisdom is different from ordinary people!"
Others also agreed.
The King of Jin did not compromise at all and distributed Liu Zheng's reform plan to the entire Youzhou.
As a result, Youzhou will be lively.
Everyone got excited.
It turns out they can still be saved in Youzhou!
The court has not given up on them yet! They can also be part of Dragon Flame! They can also be Dragon Flame people!
Moreover, Liu Shoufu's urban reforms were even more popular.
In the past, the aristocratic areas and the untouchable areas were extremely harmful to the people, but starting from today, all these will no longer exist.
They can walk on any street with their heads held high.
More importantly, of course, is the Parliament!
The common people can choose the governing officials they want! This is what they want.
Since the imperial court still regarded Youzhou as one of its own, the common people regarded this matter as a major event. In almost every corner, people are discussing the reconstruction of Youzhou Administrative Center.
Crowded.
…
Liu Zheng looked at the letters in his hand, and the current world structure had already emerged in his mind.
Peter the Great died like this.
Then Long Yan will have at least a few decades of breathing time. Why do you say that? Because Menshikov will be struggling in Tsarist Russia for several years. During this period, Tsarist Russia will not be able to do anything to Long Yan. Then, Peter II, the grandson of Peter the Great, came to power, but this guy was also short-lived. He contracted smallpox and died after only three years in office. Later, Peter III's wife, Catherine II, came to power. Tsarist Russia continued to regain its glory.
Catherine II, this is another famous name.
It is the existence in history that proudly said, "If God gives me another five hundred years, I can conquer the whole world." As a woman, she became the second emperor in the history of Tsarist Russia, which is quite awesome.
certainly.
Catherine II has nothing to do with Catherine I.
Catherine II, formerly known as Sophia.
She has a blood relationship with the Tsar Olyric dynasty, and her father is a German duke.
Catherine is an Orthodox name, so Catherine I changed her name to this after converting to Orthodox Christianity. Catherine II, of course, was the same.
certainly.
These are all things for later.
Now that Tsarist Russia has entered a stage of chaos, it will not receive Liu Zheng's special attention.
Because he knew that in the current world structure, two great men were about to appear.
One is Napoleon of France.
One is Washington in America.
Washington should be on the rise in the near future.
In the Suez Canal, Britain continued to harass Jiang Xuan and Nashadir's troops.
Now Long Yan's biggest enemy is Britain.
Of course Liu Zheng didn't mind, stabbing Britain hard in the back.
