Of course.
As for whether to retain the ritual council, the focus lies on the right of representation.
Because according to the current representation plan.
Cantonese people will definitely benefit the most.
Because although Zhu Daohua wants to organize a parliament.
But this parliament is a tool to assist the king in supervising the bureaucracy and understanding the sentiments of the people.
It's not about democracy.
Zhu Daohua would definitely not take this evil path, at least not now.
If you want to sway the prime minister through parliamentary elections, it is simply impossible at this stage.
Let alone the prime minister.
Even if more than half of the members of this council came to Prince Ming to directly accept their fate.
The future Ming Parliament will be based on Zhu Daohua's vision.
This has to do with taxation.
This ritual-making council will be changed into the Lower House of the House of Commons after the general outline of the Ming Dynasty Rites is completed.
The representatives of the Upper House are all composed of nobles, and the candidates are appointed by the Emperor of Heaven.
The representatives of the House of Commons are elected from the political assemblies of each province.
The representatives of the provincial government assembly come from the government government office, while the members of the government government office are elected by the county government office. Read the full content on AiYue app
The County Government Office is the most basic institution of the Ming Dynasty parliamentary system.
The source of the members of the Council for Political Affairs will be composed of two parts.
The first is the local nobles with titles. Different titles are qualified to recommend different candidates for parliament.
The second is paying taxes. Only Ming subjects whose taxes exceed a certain amount are eligible to elect representatives of each county office.
same.
The number of representatives of a county on the government bureau is also determined by the county's total tax payment.
The number of representatives of a province in the Provincial Assembly is determined by the total tax paid by the province.
The number of representatives of a province in the lower house of the Zhongdu Council is also determined by the province's tax amount.
therefore.
Under this principle.
The merchant class in Guangdong naturally got more representation - because they paid more taxes.
Although the big landowners in Hunan also pay taxes.
But the amount of tax paid is certainly not as good as that of Guangdong businessmen.
It can be seen from this.
The organizational rules of the Ming Dynasty Council actually represent the interests of big businessmen and the big bourgeoisie.
Therefore, the people of Guangdong unanimously agree to such rules, and those who oppose it are of course the representatives of Hunan.
In the view of Hunan representatives.
In this House of Lords, Cantonese people have an advantage, because among the nobles, the most people are from Guangdong.
And now the House of Commons has implemented a system of "no taxation, no representation".
As a result, the number of people in the House of Commons may once again be dominated by Cantonese.
Therefore, Hunan officials will definitely fight for the representatives of this parliamentary chamber - and before that, they hoped that the parliamentary system would stop at the county and government levels.
However, after Zhu Daohua made it clear that the parliamentary system would go directly to the central government.
The debate over representation has come to the fore.
Traditional Chinese political factions usually have strong regional clique characteristics.
Politicians from a province often form a party.
And within them.
Each county has its own faction.
Fighting with each other openly and secretly.
Now, in terms of the number of local officials, there is a strong tendency for Hunan officials to surpass Guangdong officials - after all, when it comes to reading exams, Guangdong people cannot compare to Hunan people.
There is a very obvious tendency for Cantonese people to be marginalized in the bureaucracy.
But now that Zhu Daohua has eliminated a political yuan, this is where the Cantonese people have an absolute advantage.
On the one hand, Guangdong has many nobles and nobles. Even Lan Fang Province at the beginning was mostly dominated by Hakkas from Guangdong.
The two provinces of Guangdong and Lanfang can actually be regarded as one province.
Because most of the officials coming out of Lanfang now consider themselves Cantonese.
on the other hand.
That is, the gentry in Guangdong are mostly engaged in business, and their tax payments far exceed those in Hunan.
therefore.
This council was regarded by Guangdong officials as a signal that Zhu Daohua supported the Guangdong Gang.
So now in this ceremony council.
Councilors and officials from Guangdong and Lanfang strongly support this.
"Let me just say that the Emperor is still on the side of us Cantonese people."
"The Emperor is still nostalgic for the past!"
"That's right, we Cantonese people can't pass the exams of other provinces, and the number of officials in the future may be small. But the emperor still trusts us Cantonese people, so we established this council to let us fellow Cantonese people help the emperor keep an eye on these officials. Where are the foreigners!"
“After all, the people the Emperor believes in most are us Cantonese people!”
Over at the Guangdong delegation, some of the Guangdong delegates came out to argue loudly with the Hunan gang.
Others were talking among themselves below.
It is necessary to mobilize the parliamentarians and officials in Guangdong to fully support this council, and we must not let those Hunan people disrupt the system of this council.
The entire lobby was in chaos.
Luo Fangbo and Luo Dian, who were sitting in the upper courtyard with Zhu Daohua and watching the people quarreling below, looked very unhappy.
Since there were no high-ranking officials like the prime ministers in the Hunan Gang, Luo Dian had no choice but to come out on his own, receive the official position of bachelor, and give a platform to the younger generations of Hunan at the age of more than seventy years old.
"How dignified it is, what a dignified figure it is!"
Luo Dian shook his head repeatedly.
Zhu Daohua was very happy.
The mood seems very good.
First of all, of course, the general outline of the "Ming Li" that has been struggling for almost a year has finally been worked out.
And it is comprehensive, basically all aspects have been covered.
From the relationship between the central and local governments, the honor system, the bureaucracy system, the relationship between monarch and ministers, the relationship between clans and vassals, and even directly related to everyone's family ethics, rights and obligations, etc.
It can be said that it is quite progressive in this era.
In the future, as long as you abide by the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, learn Chinese, and write Chinese characters, you will be a Chinese, otherwise you will be a barbarian.
Moreover, in the chapter on rights and obligations, it also stipulates how to organize and fight in non-Chinese areas.
It can be said that a single Mingli can rule the world.
besides.
Zhu Daohua originally thought that retaining the council and establishing a parliamentary system would be unanimously opposed by the scholar-official class.
But now the Guangdong Gang is clearly on their side.
It seems that the idea of establishing a parliamentary system will be relatively smooth.
in addition.
As emperor.
If the people below are amicable, then I might have to worry about the people below joining forces to deceive me.
on the contrary.
The ministers below were divided into several factions. Dog bites dog.
Then as the emperor, he acts as a mediator and plays a balancing role.
This way the emperor would feel much more comfortable doing it.
Seeing the people below, it’s almost done.
Zhu Daohua walked up to the main podium.
I saw the emperor coming up.
The members who were arguing did not dare to make a noise in front of the emperor. Everyone sat back in their seats and became quiet.
"Everyone, in the journey of the great road, the world is for the common good, and we must select talents and talents. This is true, but talents must be selected, officials must perform their duties, and the army must be well-fed and well-paid. , regulating rivers, building roads, all kinds of things big and small, which one doesn’t need money?”
Zhu Daohua glanced at the congressmen and officials present and said.
"Tai Shigong said: The bustle in the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Now it is a great struggle. The Baiyi of Europe have occupied seventy-eight percent of the world with their strong ships and artillery. We, the Ming Dynasty, If we don’t rise up, in the future our hundreds of millions of Chinese people will only be able to hide in a corner of East Asia, and they may even be like those Indians, hundreds of millions of Native Americans, who will be slaughtered to death!”
Zhu Daohua once again used the experiences of the Indians to frighten these literati and doctors.
"Today's world is like the disputes of the Warring States Period. Countries are changing their ways to become stronger. If there are those who fall behind, they will inevitably die!"
"Based on this, I, the Ming Dynasty, can no longer cling to the same tactics as the previous dynasty. Now is the time of the Warring States Period. Great powers are rampant in the world. Poor and weak countries are perishing one after another and become colonies of rich and powerful countries. They practice the law of the jungle and the strong. Law. In this kind of world, we can never say that we don’t talk about benefits. If we don’t talk about benefits, I will not be Song Xianggong!"
"The strength of a country depends on its wealth and its army, but in the final analysis it depends on money and taxes. This is the capital of a country's strength!"
Zhu Daohua said.
"In the future, the imperial court will set the tax amount based on the economic situation of a province, and the provincial, prefecture, and county councils will supervise the tax collection. If it cannot be completed, the province's representatives in the Council will be reduced accordingly. If the number of representatives drops When a certain amount is reached, the provincial tax agency will be taken over by someone sent by the imperial court!”
This is the same thing.
The representatives from each province looked at each other, and the discussion became louder.
Do parliaments at all levels still have the power to supervise tax collection?
Is this too much power?
Military advisor Tao Biquan said bluntly: "This...could this be too much business power?"
"Yes, yes, if business power is too strong, I'm afraid it will bully the market and oppress the common people..."
"There is also the risk of collusion between government and businessmen..."
Everyone said one after another.
"What happened to the scholar-bureaucrats in Jiangnan when the former Ming Dynasty fell?"
Zhu Daohua's voice became colder.
After hearing this, everyone shut up.
The lobby was quiet.
"This collusion between officials and businessmen to bully and dominate the market was not done before the Ming Dynasty or during the Qing Dynasty?"
"In my opinion, the demise of the Ming Dynasty was due to the imperial court not colluding closely enough with the merchants and gentry! If the merchants and officials in Jiangnan could closely collude with the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty, how could the Ming Dynasty be in danger of overthrowing?"
"So, the weight of business is not a problem, nor is collusion between government and business. The problem is that there are no rules!"
"Everyone will use whatever means they can to break the rules. Will the Ming Dynasty be destroyed?"
"That's why I want to set up a parliament and establish Ming etiquette, in order to set a rule for everyone."
"Within the rules, you can fight in any way. I will be the referee, and everyone in the world will be the referee."
"Within the scope of these rules, no matter how your party or that faction colludes, fights, or attacks each other, I will not interfere!"
This is too strong to say.
Everyone present could only look at the Emperor of Heaven helplessly and dared not speak.
After all, although Zhu Daohua had never killed many people, he was the founding king anyway, and he was also a very authoritative founding king.
When Zhu Yuanzhang only had half of the empire, he was not as powerful as him - after all, Lao Zhu had many partners when he started his business, and it was only through a bloody struggle that he finally settled on one.
Zhu Daohua has been the core of the New Daming Group from the beginning.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is now Zhu Yuanzhang's second best.
In fact, Zhu Daohua had no intention of getting angry.
What he opposes is not collusion or seeking profit.
Human nature is inherently profit-seeking.
Instead of letting the people below secretly collude and profit secretly.
It's better to put these things on the table openly.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.

My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
