"Imperial Notice:
Today is December 26th, and there are five major news in the Brazilian Empire.
1. After discussions between King Peder III and the cabinet ministers, in order to bridge the gap between the court and the public security, the Supervision Law was promulgated and an independent public supervision and inspection agency-the Procuratorate was established. The functions and responsibilities of the Procuratorate are as follows: judicial supervision and approval of arrests, criminal prosecutions, trial protests, and investigation and prosecution of corruption and bribery cases.
2. After discussions between Pedro III and the cabinet ministers, in order to better protect the rights and interests of the Brazilian people, the Social Labor Law was promulgated and the Labor Bureau was established.
3. After discussions between Pedro III and the cabinet ministers, in order to better benefit the Brazilian people, the National Foundation was established and the social security system was promoted.

"Oh, Tangning, are you busy holding closed-door meetings with ministers these days just to launch these policies?" Isabel asked.
Tangning nodded and said, "Yes, Aunt Isabel."
From the moment she returned to Rio de Janeiro, Tang Ning had no intention of resting. She summoned many important ministers that day and held a three-day long meeting, and finally introduced the above bills and institutions.
"Tangning, the bills you introduced look a lot like something from the German Empire, especially the Social Security Bill in Article 3."
Isabel asked curiously: "Did you specifically borrow some laws from Germany?"
"Well, we did refer to some German laws." Tangning had nothing to hide about her aunt. He was indeed trying to figure out the country's tail.
Tangning was not Leonardo da Vinci, he was an all-rounder. With the German Empire as a ready-made template, of course he had to study hard.
As a doctor with dual doctorates in anthropology and economics, Tang Ning's socioeconomic knowledge is very good, but in the current era of the early 20th century, he has no need for much of it.
Regardless of the nature of the times, if Tang Ning acts indiscriminately, she will definitely lead the country into a pit.
Fortunately, Germany is a model. As a model for late-developing countries, Germany's political and economic models are worth learning from.
Today's Brazil is actually Tangning's modification of the German model, using what Germany has already proven, and crossing the river by the tail of Germany's rabbit.
In this era, the most suitable country for Brazil to imitate is Germany.
The German Empire was stable in all aspects of politics and economy. However, William II and his subjects felt that Germany did not share enough during the carving up of the world and lost a lot of resources. They were greedy and wanted more, which eventually led to war. A complete failure.
Brazil is a God-given country surrounded by small countries. Its ceiling is something that Germany will never touch in its lifetime. It does not need to be as extreme as Germany.
In fact, after ten years of training in government and military affairs, the national constitutional model Tangning planned to use was a modified version of the German Empire.
What Tang Ning calls state capitalism can actually be called royal capitalism, which is to firmly control the country, rather than a miscellaneous large plutocrats.
The First German Empire was a union of the Kingdom of Prussia and a group of small countries. It was inherently compromised and had a large number of nobles and big capitalists in the country.
"Lie to Kangxi"
Within the empire, although the Hohenzollern family was powerful, and William II was considered the most powerful among European emperors, their control over the country could not be said to be complete.
Since Brazil's glorious restoration, Tang Ning has cleaned up the previous upper class and bribed the lower class. The power from top to bottom is truly unlimited.
Brazil's state-owned enterprise model does not follow the Hongsu model, but the Temasek route. Private capital can exist in Brazil, but it must not dominate. Private capital can provide support, and state-owned enterprises must play the leading role.
In Brazil, don’t even think about private chaebols and monopoly capital. Especially some key industries involving the country’s core technologies must be mainly operated by state-owned enterprises, and some are even directly closed to the private sector.
"Germany's various systems and laws are indeed good, especially their national monarchy system, which is very suitable for us in Brazil." Isabel still has a good impression of Germany.
Isabel experienced the loss of the country in Braganza. She witnessed the collapse of the royal family in Brazil and the whole family was kicked out.
Father Pedro II was a noble man, but he was too kind. Others did not appreciate and consider him and overthrew him directly.
Obviously, the royal family abolished slavery and promoted industrialization for the good of Brazil, but in the end it ended up like that.
After losing the country, Braganza is now back, which makes Isabel value the royal family's control over the country.
In Isabel's eyes, the British constitutional monarchy is not suitable for Brazil, and a constitutional monarchy like Germany is the right way for Brazil.
"Auntie, I am looking for you this time because I need you to help me become regent for a while in the future?" After chatting for a while, Tangning got straight to the point.
"What? You are leaving the capital again. Where are you going this time?"
Isabel really didn't expect that Tang Ning would leave again not long after she returned to the capital. She wanted to know what Tang Ning was planning to do.
"Mary and I want to go back to Europe. My father-in-law, Grand Duke Guillaume IV of Luxembourg, is getting worse and worse. He wants us to go back and inherit Luxembourg."
Guillaume IV was in poor health to begin with, and his health worsened as he grew older. Now he is very afraid of his sudden death, so he hopes that Mary and her son-in-law Tangning can return to Europe to meet their relatives and solve the country's inheritance issue at the same time.
"Actually, I also want to go back to Europe. I have been away from Europe for a long time and haven't seen my relatives for a long time. And I promised Mary that I would get married in Europe. I think we can do it all together next year."
Tangning told Isabel: "The situation in Brazil is now very stable. The Brazilian people are on our side. The existence of the Security Bureau means that the conspirators cannot make trouble.
However, it will take me a long time to leave Brazil and go back and forth, and I have to be in charge alone, so I will have to trouble you as regent again. "
This time, by inviting Isabel over, Tangning's purpose was to have this respected aunt regent the country for him.
Tangning hasn't been back to Europe for a long time. She hasn't seen her parents for a long time. Her father-in-law is not in good health now, and he and Mary have a marriage to hold. All things considered, it's time to go back to Europe.
In addition to family reasons, next year, the situation in Europe will be turbulent and begin to enter a period of shock, which also requires Tang Ning to return to Europe to make arrangements.
The Portuguese coup occurred in 1910. This was an extremely important event for the Miguel Braganza royal family, and Tang Ning had to personally take charge of it.
As long as things are done well, Manuel II dies, the Portuguese Republican Party is completely eliminated, Brazil and Portugal will be united again, and Braganza will return to the pinnacle of the Portuguese Empire.
Even if history changes and the Republicans do not launch a revolution, Tang Ning will still create opportunities. Portugal, a land in the corner of Europe, must be obtained.
Luxembourg is too small to influence Europe at all. Only the great Portuguese Empire united by Brazil and Portugal can truly establish world influence.
