Chapter 50 Whose family is in the world (2)

"However, this unification is by no means the great unification of the past. It is a must for realizing common law, strengthening the national concept, and realizing domestic resource allocation and coordinated development. It is also the basis for the country's next step of real reform and innovation, and it is the foundation for the establishment of a country." Li Da continued, "Only by laying the foundation of the country can we talk about autonomy. If China wants to be truly strong and wants to get rid of the cycle of governance and chaos that has been around for thousands of years, it is necessary to combine the monarchy constitution and local autonomy."

Zheng Yuxin realized something and nodded slightly.

"As Your Highness said, in this great struggle, the country has no unity, no sovereignty, no independence. And our nation has its own tradition of supreme monarchy. Taking the emperor as the highest authority of the country to coordinate the rule of the country is the only choice. However, the disadvantages of the monarchy have been fully described by the Russian affairs, and China's thousand-year unified imperial power has also been fully described. This does not need to be repeated. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a constitution to restrict the monarchy and serve as a common law between the local and the central government."

"China has a vast territory, with different people's sentiments, customs, economic conditions, and social structures in different places. If the central government forces the unified laws and regulations, there will be harm inappropriateness to the local government. However, government orders come from above, and the future of promotion of officials is even... From above, it is naturally a good idea to be charmed by the superiors. Therefore, regardless of whether the government orders are actually in line with local conditions, they will be vigorously promoted to seek political performance evaluation. The Chinese people always value local groups, and officials from other provinces do not understand the people's sentiments, and often conflicts arise."

Zheng Yu's expression became solemn. He finally felt that he had really underestimated the intellectuals of this era. Under his reputation, at least this person is quite talented in the world and has indeed studied practice.

"The British Locke Cloud, absolute power leads to absolute corruption. If the central government has too much power, it will inevitably lead to a similar situation as in Russia. This is the result of the lack of separation of powers and the lack of bottom-up constraints. The central government's power comes from the resources controlled by the central government, which include military, police, taxation and finance, official appointments and removals, cultural propaganda, judicial and even state-owned and semi-state-owned industries, etc. In my opinion, the current resource of the empire's central government is completely overwhelming, and there is no real and effective supervision. Although the national power is booming, it is mostly due to His Majesty as a wise and enlightened monarch, and the wise are also concerned about state affairs. The four words are completed: the founding atmosphere."

"This founding atmosphere is shared by all dynasties. However, once the emperor is negligent in his administration, the corruption and degeneration of officials will be inevitable. The country gradually returns to the cycle of governance and chaos, and national affairs will become increasingly serious. There is nothing else. This is because the power is too concentrated and the lack of supervision and checks and balances are not allowed."

"What is supervision, checks and balances? I have been lingering in the United States for the longest time and most detailed. The United States is a model for checks and balances of power. The so-called separation of powers, the so-called two-party election, the so-called two-houses of Congress, and the so-called state autonomy. This system ensures the authoritarian authority of the central government, and ensures that local people enjoy autonomy, and constitutes effective supervision of governments at all levels. Because people's autonomy, people care about politics and always supervise the behavior of officials, and the people have the so-called National Guard to ensure their local independence and autonomy. Therefore, local officials dare not violate the public's wishes, and the federal government dare not violate the constitution and violate local autonomy. Therefore, all government officials work diligently and fear accountability."

Zheng Yu listened silently, his heart churned. These views are indeed reasonable. However, not to mention the national conditions of China today, the key is what the emperor thought in his heart?

"However, China's national conditions are different from those of the United States after all. The Chinese imperial power tradition has lasted for two thousand years, and the people's wisdom has not yet been opened. The United States was founded from the colonies and was a presidential republic from beginning to end, with a deep foundation in democracy. Therefore, the implementation of American policies in China needs to be combined with the British monarchy and imperial autonomy strategies and advance in steps." Li Da continued.

Zheng Yu's heart moved: "Sir, please tell me in detail."

"Since the empire was founded, the congress was established, the constitution was enacted, the national defense was strengthened, the industry and commerce were developed, the system of the two houses of parliament had become increasingly stable, the foundation of the monarchy was already there, the recognition of the concept of national unity was already there, the foundation of economic unity was already there, the main body of national defense strength was already there, and the foundation of the foundation for building a true modern country was laid. This was the merit of Your Majesty and all the wise men, even if they were not as good as the wise kings of all ages."

Zheng Yu couldn't help but admire him. It seemed that this person was definitely not an old scholar who didn't know the current affairs in his study. He was so sleek but not as good as a person who was messed up in the officialdom. But looking at the other person's expression, it seemed to be from the bottom of his heart.

"If Your Majesty and all the wise men go further, practice local autonomy, and combine bottom-up democratic supervision with top-down rule of the country, then China's prosperity and strength will be imminent, and Your Majesty will definitely surpass Confucius and Mencius, and will be one holy and one emperor of China for thousands of years. Even though it has been the god of protecting the country and the god of our nation."

As soon as Li Da said this, Zheng Yu suddenly felt goosebumps and secretly lay down. When he looked at the two visitors, he saw that the angry young man Meng Hua looked a little dissatisfied, while the tall and thin man with glasses still showed no expression.

"I wonder how different is the system of local autonomy of sir and the empire today?" Zheng Yu asked after thinking for a moment.

"The so-called local autonomy is to elect parliament and administrative officials for the local governments, and the central government shall not intervene; the local governments form national guards to serve as part-time citizens and train weekly to protect the autonomy of local citizens. Except for the bases stationed in various places, the central army shall not enter local land without authorization without the invitation of the local government; the local government owns its own fiscal budget and economic development plan, the central government's expenditure is limited to the unified national defense, central universities and scientific research institutions, cross-provincial railways, congressional and government agencies and diplomatic intelligence expenditures, etc., and the remaining local basic education, local medical security, local infrastructure, municipal and farmland water conservancy, etc. are managed by local autonomous governments at all levels. The central government and provinces are decentralized, provinces and cities and counties are decentralized, which is for local autonomy."

Zheng Yu nodded: "Mr.'s local autonomy seems to be taken from the state autonomy system of the United States. But I wonder, the states in the United States have the freedom to announce their accession and separation from the federal government, so as to avoid the major laws passed by the federal government forming a majority of states infringe on the reasonable rights and interests of a few states. If Mr.'s local autonomy, do the provinces have the freedom to separation and separation from the government?"

Li Da looked at him and said, "Yes. But there can be no such thing as now, you can have it in the future."

Zheng Yu was even more surprised. It seemed that he really underestimated this person.

"At present, the concept of the country needs to be strengthened, and the identity of culture and nation-states, especially in many border provinces, is far from enough. If this policy is implemented soon, it is likely that the border provinces will become independent. At that time, the central government will inevitably find it difficult to deal with it, and it will further affect other mainland provinces." Li Da smiled, "I have also considered your concerns. My local autonomy is not required to be implemented now, nor is it implemented in one mind, but it must be implemented in time and in stages, and according to the situation, and it is promoted as the country gradually becomes stronger and the national identity and cohesion are strengthened. But there is one."

He said seriously: "Time cannot be delayed for a long time. There are already some bad signs within the government. If it continues to be delayed, not only will local autonomy become a sham, but the current enlightened system cannot be maintained, and the country will return to the old path."

Zheng Yu said word by word: "The atmosphere of the founding country is gradually losing. Is this what the sir said?"

Li Da stared at him intently and nodded slowly.

Zheng Yu stood up and bowed deeply. Li Da hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting.

"Yu is for Your Majesty and the people, Mr. Xie." Zheng Yu said sincerely, "Mr. said bluntly that the country's affairs are at the current disadvantages, and do not charm me with my identity, and do not consider the disaster of blunt criticism, speak for the country, and forget about the public. This is the way of ancient sages."

Zheng Yu’s admiration comes from the heart.

He knew that although this person had not fully stated it, he actually understood the deep roots of the system of this cycle of chaos, that is, the philosophy of power and official culture. As long as the constraints and supervision of power are exposed, corruption will spread like cancer and spread faster than anyone imagined.

Zheng Yu read the famous "Unfashioned Rules" in his previous life. Based on Wu Si's analysis of the rules and conventions of the officialdom in China throughout the ages, his analysis of bureaucratic politics has formed a high-level methodology, which is more insightful than the insiders of this era and is directly at the core.

The cycle of governance and chaos in Chinese society is by no means a land annexation, but the root cause is actually the bureaucratic system. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, China has always been a model of county governance as the main body, which is completely different from the European hereditary lord system, so there is no feudal society at all. From ancient times to the present, China has always been a bureaucratic society, and everything revolves around the government's administrative power. In ancient China, officials enjoyed privileges. People with fame and fortune can not only be exempted from taxes and exemptions in a noble place, but also use the layers of relationships in the officialdom to transfer the burden away. Therefore,

Once the administration is corrupt, not only will the officials embezzle and accept bribes, but they will also pass all the burden on the powerless self-cultivated farmers, forcing them to sell their land to the homes of officials and gentry, and turn them into tenant farmers. And many farmers have to go bankrupt and flee under the exploitation and oppression of officials, and even gather together to steal. Therefore, the so-called land problem is only the result of the bureaucratic system and is by no means the root of the cycle of governance and chaos. As long as the chronic diseases of this system are not solved, even if the farmers are equalized, they will still end up the same fate in the end, which will instead undermine the enthusiasm of farmers to get rich.

As for the so-called founding atmosphere, it was nothing more than the revolutionaries who overthrew the original ruling group. On the one hand, it learned from the lessons of the previous rulers, and on the other hand, it was also frightened by the anger released by the lower class during the seizure of power. On the other hand, it was not ruled out that it was based on some of its own ideals and beliefs, so it was able to resist some temptations, consider the welfare of some countries and people, and abandon the old system. In terms of administration, it was a little bit better than the end of the dynasty of the previous generation.

But people are forgetful and selfish after all, and their ideals cannot resist reality. Once the society is stable, the people are busy with food and clothing or getting rich, and gradually ignore political matters. Especially in China, the idea of ​​"what can I add to the imperial power or me" is deeply rooted. If there is an emperor, the people will still have to eat. As long as they are not forced to survive, who would say "no" to the imperial power and the saber?

At this time, the official class, who ruled through top-down authority, naturally began to enjoy the pleasure of ruling the people. In the officialdom, you and my brothers and brothers, and they were connected and supported each other, so the secrets were even more vague and the so-called magistrates of the family, the magistrates of the family, and the so-called magistrates of the Qing Dynasty for three years, and 100,000 snowflakes were all understood, so they were tacit. The differences between the past dynasties were nothing more than the speed of corruption.

Will officials who have gained power, tasted the sweetness, and left behind many things that cannot be carefully investigated and investigated because of power. Will they voluntarily give up their power? With these powers as the core, various forces have established a system of weight distribution, and can they be willing to collapse the system of weight distribution, which will make years of hard work waste?

Zheng Yu sneered in his heart. It seems that even if history has undergone some unintelligible changes, it is still playing a stubborn and clear role. This seemingly new and huge empire actually continues with the old rules of thousands of years. The story of another group of slaves rushing into the palace and becoming a new generation of kings and nobles seems to appear before his eyes.

He suddenly wanted to see the founding emperor who seemed to be omniscient and omnipotent as soon as possible. He didn't know what kind of behavior the other party would be after knowing all this. Is he angry and embarrassed? Is he cold to the end? Is he fallen into deep disappointment? Or... he laughed at himself for making a fuss?

"Sir is the country's treasure," Zheng Yu thought for a moment and bowed deeply again. "The country's affairs are so difficult now. If you are as talented as Mr., it is a pity for Bo Yi and Shu Qi. Although Yu is not talented, he has always been determined to help the world. Today, he begs to ask Mr. to return to his country and plan for the country together."

Li Da returned the tribute solemnly and was about to speak, a sarcastic voice came from beside him: "Sir, are you a snobbish person who is inclined to the power? You are a golden branch and a jade leaf, so we ordinary people naturally cannot reach the top. But there is one thing: Chinese people are not natural slaves, we have backbone and backbone, so please don't compare us with the slaves of the Qing Dynasty."

Zheng Yu's eyes narrowed, his eyes narrowed. He looked at Meng Hua and said slowly, "What does Brother Meng mean?"

"In Xia Menghua, a native of Changsha, Hunan, is currently studying for a Ph.D. in sociology at Moscow University. What I said below is all personal voice and has nothing to do with my relatives and friends. Your highness is a large number of people, so naturally they will not be scruples with people like us." Menghua looked back without giving in, "Maybe you think that with your power, people should be respectful and trepidated to you, speak according to you, give in to you, do things, envy your status, fear your power, wag your tail and beg you for mercy, begging you for some benefit. But you were wrong."

"What is the basis for the rule of the monarch and minister? It is the ecstasy of your predecessors to deceive the people and anesthetize the people. It is this feudal ethics and feudal rules that have castrated our compatriots over thousands of years." Meng Hua said with a hint of disdain, "Today, the people in the world are full of wisdom, and all countries have abandoned autocracy and democracy. The people are awakened, and they are by no means foolish people in the past. Mr. Rousseau once said that people are born equal and free. People moaned under the imperial tyranny for thousands of years, bowed and surrendered for thousands of years, and now they have reached a true awakening.

It's time to know that you are the master of the country. Unfortunately, you are still playing this trick for thousands of years, such as emperors and princes, respect for wise men, and national sects. To put it bluntly, you just want to win over your husband as a slave to you and be a soundtrack for your Zheng family. With your wisdom and nobleness, how can you fall into your hub? You underestimate your husband and Chinese talents and heroes too much. You think you are a wise prince, but in fact you are just an imperial zombie crawling out of a thousand-year-old tomb."

"In today's world, the sunshine of freedom and democracy has shined on the earth. People and characters in the plays like you should stay honestly in the old papers. Being the prince is not your fault, but being a show of power is your fault."

Zheng Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression as he looked at the man became more and more interesting.
