Qin State, Xianyang City, the main hall of Afang Palace.
Ever since the battle with Lian Po at Dasan Pass, the King of Qin has been secluded in Afang Palace, leaving all major matters to Prime Minister Li Si.
"The situation in the Central Plains has been initially determined. Wuguan has been breached by the State of Chu a few days ago. The 400,000 troops of the State of Chu are divided into two routes, of which 200,000 troops have entered Hanzhong County, and the remaining 200,000 troops are heading west to the two counties of Bashu.
The State of Wei has stepped up its offensive at Hangu Pass in the past few days. If there is no reinforcement within three days, it will surely be breached. The Zhao soldiers in Dasan Pass are strong and cannot be ignored.
The king is in seclusion and all state affairs are handled by Prince Qin Jiao. I will assist the prince in handling state affairs. The current plan must first invite the foundation-building realms of Zhou, Han, Zheng, and Wei to Xianyang City. Draw 20,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 new soldiers from the Central Plains to support Hangu Pass.
Draw 50,000 elite soldiers and 50,000 new soldiers to Hanzhong County to stop the offensive of the State of Chu. Let Wu'an Jun return to the country as soon as possible to deal with the Zhao soldiers in Dasan Pass." Li Si said in the hall.
Qin Jiao sat on a chair beside the hall and nodded after listening to Li Si's words: "The situation in the central part of the Central Plains has been initially settled. We cannot relax the management of the various families. We should send envoys to appease the surrounding neighboring countries. The Qin State has been fighting for two years and the treasury has been exhausted. After the autumn harvest this year, the grain will be difficult to maintain. Li Xiang needs to pay more attention to these." Qin Jiao was not afraid of the domestic ministers in the hall. He instructed Li Si.
After occupying Zheng, Zhou and other countries, Qin has reached the point where it must deal with domestic problems. Song, Lu, Chen and other countries in the Central Plains know the strength and unification of Qin. At this time, Qin stopped attacking because it had to solve the attacks of Chu, Wei and Zhao. At this time, continuing to attack Qin was the best choice, but after all countries discussed the attack method together, the attack on Qin was left unfinished.
Everyone wanted to bear the least pressure and did not want to suffer too much loss in the process of attacking Qin. As a result, they quarreled over some details of sending troops. Many people have seen that the Central Plains will inevitably be unified by Qin one by one in the future.
Speaking of Gaoliu County, after Hua Kai returned from Zhao State, the people of Gaoliu County were overjoyed. The Hua family was able to force Zhao State to bow down, which meant that the Hua family already had the strength comparable to the Seven Heroes.
Every day, people in Gaoliu City and Xia City discussed when the Hua family would establish a country. Many people were speculating about what changes would happen to the management of Gaoliu County after the Hua family established a country, and some people were speculating about whether the Hua family would begin to expand its territory, and if so, where the direction of expansion would be.
These were all happy events for the people of Gaoliu County and the aristocratic families, and they all felt that since Hua Kai returned from Handan City, the frequency of issuing orders has increased, and sometimes multiple orders would be issued in a day. All the major schools in Gaoliu County are undergoing reforms. Hua Kai has added many courses to all colleges, and the theories of various schools of thought are now just one of the subjects of each student. The entire Gaoliu County is undergoing a major transformation step by step, starting with education.
On the evening of June 30th, Hua Kai sat in the main seat of the family space [Conference Hall], and all the core members of the Hua family sat in the conference hall. The founding of the Hua family has reached a necessary step, but many things have not been prepared. Everyone has recently focused on the founding of the country.
"The founding of the Hua family will be in the next two years. Before that, we have a lot of things to complete.
I once told everyone the significance of the country. The founding of the Hua family will not learn from any country, because the governance strategies of the Central Plains countries are different. They each have their own shortcomings and deficiencies. We must take a path that suits us.
Each political system has different distribution of domestic interests. The three dukes and nine ministers in the Central Plains are mainly beneficial to the monarch and the great family, because the monarch and the great family protect the country.
Everyone, take a look at my preliminary setting of the future management system of the Hua family!" Hua Kai said, asking Xue Chen beside him to hand a booklet to everyone.
"Huacheng is the foundation of the Hua family. Xiacheng now has a population of over 500,000. It is the core of Gaoliu County's commerce, education, and workshop manufacturing. In the future, it will become one of the Hua family's cultural and military strongholds, so the Hua family named the country Huaxia!
Hua is the blood of the country, and Xia is the flesh of the country. The highest power of the country belongs to the monarch of Huaxia, who has the right and obligation to decide, promulgate, and formulate all domestic rules. The monarch of Huaxia is appointed by the previous monarch, and more than half of all core members of the family agree to take office.
There are three major courts under the monarch of Huaxia.
The State Council manages all domestic political affairs, including the appointment of city lords and personnel in seven major departments. It is responsible for the normal operation of the entire domestic order.
The Military Affairs Council is responsible for all domestic military affairs, including the management of the six major legions, militia, military academies, intelligence exploration, and the production and storage of military equipment and grain.
The heads of these two courts are core members of the Hua family. All major personnel of the two courts must be approved by more than half of the core members of the Hua family and signed by the monarch to take office. The rest of the personnel are appointed by the two courts!
In addition to the two major departments of the State Council and the Military Affairs Council, there is also a collegiate chamber. The main function of the collegiate chamber is to resolve all domestic conflicts. It has five major departments under its jurisdiction: the Legal Department, the Judgment Department, the House of Representatives, the Zongren Department, and the Impeachment Department.
The Legal Department improves domestic laws and supplements and improves the laws that can be passed by the core members of the family. All laws of Huaxia are issued by the collegiate chamber.
The Judgment Department handles all criminal and civil cases in the country and hears all domestic prosecution cases.
The House of Representatives is the nose of our Huaxia country. At a fixed time every year, Huaxia needs to hold a House of Representatives meeting. The meeting requires a certain number of representatives composed of royal family members, family members, and ordinary people to discuss various domestic problems. After coming up with solutions to the problems, the collegiate chamber will send them to the king for review. If necessary, the core members of the Hua family will discuss whether to form legal provisions to be promulgated in the country.
Zongren deploys the Hua family's direct line management department to be responsible for all matters of the royal family.
The Impeachment Department can impeach the emperor and grassroots officials of Huaxia. Its power is higher than that of the Inspection Department of the State Council, and it has the right to inspect and supervise all domestic affairs. "
Hua Kai stopped talking after saying this. Everyone bowed their heads to check the materials Hua Kai gave. All the rights, occupations, and personnel requirements of the three major courts were clearly stated here. Seeing the establishment of the Collegial House, especially the House of Representatives, everyone knew that Gaoliu County was going to change.
The House of Representatives has great power to influence national policies. Although whether it can be implemented in the end depends on everyone present and Hua Kai, it can already affect the national situation.
Looking at the booklet given by Hua Kai, the House of Representatives occupies a large space. Hua Kai emphasized that the construction of the members of the House of Representatives is mainly divided into three levels.
The lowest three levels go down to all areas managed by Huaxia. There must be at least one member for every hundred people. These members appear and are elected by all local people. Members must be in accordance with the proportion of the number of people in various industries in the country, including all civilians, soldiers, attendants, various schools of thought, aristocratic families, royal families, and all other people in the country.
These people were selected to summarize the problems that everyone thought existed in the country and hand them over to the representatives elected by everyone. They went to the second-level councils of the seven major regions of Gaoliu County, and the city lords of other regions personally handled and solved the problems.
If the problem cannot be solved, the second-level council needs to elect people and hand them over to the first-level House of Representatives at a fixed time every year for all representatives to discuss and solve together.
The number of people in the House of Representatives must be at least one ten-thousandth of the total population of the country.
"Let's discuss this general outline and raise any questions. The headquarters of the three major courtyards will start construction before September, and the foundations of all departments will be completed by the end of next year. Everyone will work hard next. After the frameworks of the three major courtyards are established, you can find suitable candidates to get out. In the future, we will have fewer things to discuss and solve." Hua Kai looked at everyone and said.
"Master, I feel a headache when I see this clause. If we establish the House of Representatives, Gaoliu County will definitely have a lot of problems. Let civilians discuss policies. Is this okay?" Er Zhuang asked.
"Each class must have its own channel to speak out. The Hua family has established hundreds of colleges, academies, and schools since the beginning of literacy in Huajiabao. Everyone, even slaves, can read and read newspapers. Why can't they say what they need?
Only by showing all classes the direction of improvement can everyone work together and the whole country can achieve real prosperity. Regarding the separation of slaves from the slave system and management, we will have to slowly supplement them in the future."
After Hua Kai finished speaking, he looked at the others. Everyone was silent. Hua Kai didn't need everyone to understand everything now. The outlines of the system he customized now are what the Hua family needs most now. If the Hua family controls more and more land in the future, this system can better ease the contradictions between him and the family and reduce the opposition to the thoughts of the various schools of thought.
Hua Kai assigned the task of establishing the three major courtyards. The State Council has seven major departments. Now all they need to do is to increase management and assign the city lords of each city.
The mayor of each family's own city must be a person nominated by each family. The candidates for the mayors of Gaoliu City, Huacheng City, Xiacheng City, Baoyuguan City, and Beiguan City have already been determined. Now all they have to do is to make these new policies accepted by everyone.
The Military Affairs Council only needs to supplement the management department, issue the policies according to Hua Kai's requirements, and establish the financial, equipment, soldier assessment, welfare, management and coordination departments of the Military Affairs Council. This seems cumbersome, but it is just a summary of the previous things!
The Collegial Council is a completely new thing. Only Xue Chen in the Hua family can serve as the head of the Collegial Council. Hua Kai handed over most of the core members of the family to Xue Chen, and gave him the right to select personnel from the six major departments, Hua family servants, and the army at will.
The establishment of a country is a very tedious matter. If the country's political system is not determined, there will be more and more domestic conflicts in the future. If many problems are given a general direction from the beginning, it will be much easier for everyone to do things, and the majesty of the king can be reflected!
