In the 7th year of the Tianxing Calendar, which is the third year after Ye Xing retired, the Tianxing Kingdom has become more powerful, and its national power is extremely strong.
A number of nearby small kingdoms and principalities basically automatically became part of the Star Kingdom because they lost the support of the people. In some places, people directly rose up to demand equal rights, abolish the privileges of the nobility, and implement the same system as the Star Kingdom.
The system of Tianxing Kingdom has low taxes, a large population, and any business can be done. It attracts all the rich people in the world to this country, causing the population to increase dramatically, and only the rich people can move here.

The Tianxing Kingdom implements a unified system across the country, but it is still local autonomy. In order to prevent local independence issues, the locals have well-equipped police to maintain security, as well as special service teams directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while the Tianxing Army only operates at the borders and counties. There are garrisons in the city and capital.

It is this increasingly powerful country, with its incomparable military power, openness, tolerance, and fair system, that has surpassed the Tang Empire, the Yuan Empire, and the Nanman Empire, which were also great powers.
The Tang Dynasty, which was founded on agriculture, fell behind the Star Kingdom, which was based on industry and commerce, in just seven years. Countless wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty were already eager to move their families to the Star Kingdom.
Insightful people at the top of the Tang Empire were aware of the crisis and urged the emperor to send troops to the Tianxing Kingdom, vowing to interrupt the development of the Tianxing Kingdom. This information was continuously sent to the staff of the Tianxing Army.
The cavalry of the Great Yuan Empire, who fought fiercely and were not afraid of death, were of no use at all under the bombing of the Tianxing Army Air Force's planes, and their economy was not sufficient at all. They relied on the sky for their livelihood. Apart from clamoring for revenge, they had nothing substantial. action.
While the high-level officials of the Great Yuan Empire were using various products from the Tianxing Kingdom, they were inciting the people to oppose and hate the Tianxing Kingdom. However, the ordinary people secretly longed for the better life of the Tianxing Kingdom.
October of the 7th year of the Star Calendar was the first local voting election in the Star Kingdom. It was a free election in the true sense. It elected the leaders of local towns, cities, and counties. The order was October 7, which was the election of town mayors. , December 7th is the election of county governor.
There have been great changes in local leaders, because the people are very discerning, and only those who have the ability can become local leaders. Developing the economy and serving the interests of the people are fundamental.
Many of Ye Xing's brothers are young rich men or military generals. Some of them have also given up their business, taken off their military uniforms, and participated in local chief elections in many places. In fact, dozens of them defeated candidates from the local original forces and were successfully elected.
Although Ye Xing is far away in the remote prairie, he is very concerned about this local election and has a serious conversation with Li Yishan. He must be open and fair, over ten years old, regardless of race, gender, and one person, one vote.
Regarding this local election, the Ministry of Interior sent personnel to supervise the entire local election across the country. Hundreds of serious cases of fraud occurred. After the parties were publicly heard in the courts of Tianxing Kingdom, they were directly escorted to the execution ground and publicly executed. One of them was The founding father of Tianxing Kingdom.
The laws of Tianxing Kingdom stipulate that all people are equal, and no one can use merit to compensate for his demerit. Therefore, the founder who committed fraud was executed, but his family members can still enjoy the treatment they enjoyed for 30 years.
The founding fathers of Tianxing Kingdom were treated extremely well, with extremely high salaries. Their families did not pay taxes, but they were still not allowed to do anything illegal, otherwise they would be punished with the same punishment.
Two years after the local elections, in June of the 9th year of the Tianxing Calendar, there was the primary election for the presidential election of the Tianxing Kingdom. There were more than a dozen people running this time, including the first president Li Yishan.
The law stipulates that as long as the former heads of counties and ministries believe that they are qualified, they can run for election. This is to allow candidates to have experience in holding important positions, but they must be selected by the 3,000 election committee members from all over the country. Voting is held in the capital, and only the top three candidates can be selected.
In September of the 9th year of the Tianxingli, after the primary election, the three people including the first president Li Yishan, the first head of the Ministry of the Interior Song Jue, Ye Xing's cheap disciple, and the governor of Pingyuan County Xu Changming became the final candidates. candidate.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs assigned the three closely protected special service guards and dispatched transport planes to allow the three to give speeches and canvass for votes in various places. The whole process lasted for three months.
The first day of the last month at the end of the year, that is, December 1, 9th year of the Celestial Calendar, became the national voting day. The voting was conducted under the supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and armed forces nationwide, and the voting went smoothly.
After the voting, the votes were opened and counted in all counties and cities at the same time. Through the intercommunication of long-wave radio stations, the counting results of various places were reported directly in each county and city. Even Ye Xing, who was far away in the prairie, stayed in front of the radio station to listen to the latest votes. Ticket status.
This vote was extremely fierce. Song Jue had the power of the former Song family to canvass votes, so it can be said that he had a good chance of winning. The forces behind the Song family launched a full-scale attack, intending to regain power through peaceful elections.
Pingyuan County is the most populous county. Xu Changming has great influence and good reputation. He has made great achievements in governing Pingyuan County. It is already the most powerful county in Tianxing Kingdom. Its economy and population far exceed other places. It is said that the people of Pingyuan County are 90%. % will vote for him.
But Li Yishan is the founder and first president of Tianxing Kingdom, and he has great appeal throughout the world. It can be said that he alone accounts for a small half of the achievements of Tianxing Kingdom today.
In fierce elections, you can only talk about your own policies, and personal attacks on individuals will never be allowed. Those who violate laws and disciplines are not qualified to be candidates, and they are permanently prohibited from holding any public office.
At the final count, Li Yishan was successfully re-elected with 45.3% of the vote. He lost to Pingyuan County, Taiyuan County, Beiyuan County and other counties with the largest population, but gained the support of people in other parts of the country.
After the election committee members confirmed the voting results, Li Yishan immediately announced the appointment of Xu Changming as the head of the Ministry of Interior, Song Jue as the head of the Ministry of Justice, and tycoon Lin Tie as the head of the newly established Ministry of Development.
The newly established Development Department is an education and scientific research department focusing on the development of new technologies and new technologies. It is also what Ye Xing requested Li Yishan to establish.
After Tianxing Kingdom held its first national election, the Ministry of Justice revised the law to fill various loopholes and implemented it nationwide after review by the president.
Tianxing Kingdom's groundbreaking system of electing the head of state through referendum once again shocked the world, and the news even spread thousands of miles outside the Tang Empire.
As soon as it was established, Tianxing Kingdom stood proudly in the world with peerless status. Countless people from all over the world were also attracted. At the same time, it also attracted countless suppression from various forces, but it was useless. People's hearts are the greatest force.
It was only now that all the senior officials truly understood Ye Xing's words. People's hearts are the most powerful force.
