"Then your Highness, how should the quota of these 100 people be allocated?" Imai Soraki Yu Qiuhei did not continue to speak. In order to avoid embarrassment, he asked first.

"Bidding." Yu Qiuhei chuckled, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Bidding at the price of 5,000 guan, facing Sakaimachi, Ishiyamachi and all Kinki merchants," he said.

As soon as Yu Qiuhei said this, the merchants present immediately took a breath of air. They understood that if such a powerful seat of parliamentarians could be truly guaranteed, every big businessman would flock to it. For example, if Sakaimachi's merchants felt sorry for their money and did not go to take seats, they would be dominated by Ishiyamachi's merchants. Then they formulated a series of laws to relax trade restrictions on Ishiyamachi and enacted laws to increase taxes on Sakaimachi, and then Sakaimachi would be destroyed directly.

5,000 guan is not a big businessman that cannot be paid. These 100 seats will be auctioned without any suspense. Yu Qiuping can earn 500,000 guan in one go, or even more. Of course, all this is based on Yu Qiuping's ability to provide sufficient guarantees, and blank checks will not be attractive.

"Your Highness, this person is not too much." Shiro Sukiyoshino was not afraid of offending Yu Qiuhei and protested directly: "When the time comes, your highness will hand over all the money to Boss Semei, and the Mitsubishi Caravan will become the largest caravan in Kinki in one fell swoop."

"Don't worry, this money will not be handed over to the Mitsubishi caravan, but will be replenished to the Yuqiu family's treasury. In the future, the Mitsubishi caravan will be reorganized into the Mitsubishi caravan, and the Yuqiu family's treasury will be returned to the national treasury." Yuqiuping paused and looked at these merchants meaningfully: "The financial budgets of these treasurys are controlled by you. This money will not be obtained from Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, but will be stored in Sakaimachi. In the end, you have the final say on how to spend this money. If the Yuqiu family wants to use this money, you must approve the budget in front of you. If the Yuqiu family wants to force rob, it is okay for you to take Sakaimachi's money directly to sea or go south to Sanhao's house."

As soon as Yu Qiuping said this, everyone's eyes lit up and they raised their hands to express their willingness to pay 5,000 guan to buy a seat. Anyway, if you raise your hands, you don't have to give the money immediately. Even if Yu Qiuping wants to fool them, it doesn't matter.

"Don't worry, your six seats must be guaranteed. After all, I have to rely on you to go back to do the work of other merchants and mobilize them to bid for auction." Yu Qiuping clapped his hands and laughed, "Then, as the government of Yu Qiu's family, I will submit the first budget application to the provisional Congress composed of six of you. I plan to buy food, building materials, medicines, and raw materials for you. I wonder if it is accurate?"

"Accurate, this is naturally accurate." Tsuda Soji nodded hurriedly, and the other merchants also nodded with smiles, but they were still feeling a little guilty - after all, Yu Qiuping did not give a pragmatic guarantee when he said this.

"Then please ship the goods as soon as possible. Maple Leaf Mountain City can no longer hold on." Yu Qiuping immediately asked in a low voice.

"This is natural, Your Highness." After Imai Soku nodded, seeing that Yu Qiuping still refused to give a guarantee, he had to whisper, "But there is still a question below. How can you guarantee that what you say today will count? How can you ensure that the power of our parliament remains unchanged? If Your Highness relies on us to defeat the Sanhao family, then turn against us and send troops to wipe us out, then we will make a wedding dress in vain and cannot say anything about the suffering."

"As for how to guarantee your power, I will say earlier later, don't worry, and I'll guarantee that you will be satisfied." Yu Qiuping nodded, but raised the hearts of the merchants. He then looked at Takamasa Katsumasa Katsu, "Your Highness Katsu, I'll tell you about the matters of the court next. You are responsible for this court."

·

"Do you think I am the same as those profit-oriented businessmen? Do you think you can buy me with a little profit?" Little did you know that Takamasa Katsuyama had a completely different attitude from those businessmen. After enduring for a long time, he saw Yu Qiuping turn around and scolded Yu Qiuping: "I will never give my guardian for the sake of profit! What are your separation of powers? Are the shogunate laws and regulations tampered with you like this? How can you hand over the power of the Wu family to the merchants?"

"Your Highness Kayama please calm down." If it were Yu Qiuping, he would definitely have arguing with Youyama Takamatsu. But now he has learned about Youyama Takamatsu and knows that he is a principled, ambitious and kind-hearted person, so he did not argue with him: "No matter what, it is not too late to ask Your Highness to listen to it first, and then scold him!"

"Tsk." Takamasa Katsuyama snorted coldly, shook his sleeves, turned his head, looking disdainful. However, Yu Qiuping understood that Takamasa Katsuyama's attitude meant that he was willing to listen to Yu Qiuping's words.

"First of all, I want to declare that His Highness Kazuyama is definitely not a retainer of the Yuqiu family. The Yuqiu family and the court are two independent individuals on par. The position set for you, the Supreme Court, is even more noble than the position of the Yuqiu family's governor. Because he is lifelong and irreplaceable. As long as you are still here, you will always hold this position."

"As for what power the court has, I basically wrote it here." Yu Qiuping said and pointed to the words on the scroll, but Takamasa Katsushima did not read it. Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly and had to explain to Takamasa Katsushima Katsushima: "First of all, you have judicial power that is opposite to the legislative power of Congress. In other words, the court has judicial power. You are responsible for the specific application of the laws enacted by Congress when judging cases."

"Yuqiu family now has a mature judge system, and every village has a sub-subscribed judge. I will hand over the entire system to you at that time. And you can also appoint county judges from various counties as your subordinates."

The reason why Yu Qiuping was willing to hand over the court to Takamasa Katsuyama was because he was attracted by his old and unrealistic life. Such a stubborn old man with firm principles can ensure fairness and justice and uninterested interests. And his subordinates who were also stubborn were just used as judges.

"The judges in the village are responsible for various basic cases in their jurisdiction. If the litigant is not satisfied with this result, they can apply to appeal to the judge in the county for a second trial. If they are still unsatisfied, they will come to you for the final trial in person."

"You will also formulate the evaluation and appointment rules for the entire court system. If you are not familiar with this, I can ask my original subordinate, Amano Keidu, to help you get these done first."

"The court also owns other important powers. If you think the laws enacted by Congress are unconstitutional, you can declare them illegal and let Congress revise them." Speaking of this, Yu Qiuping suddenly realized that he had not introduced the constitution, so he hurriedly turned to the businessmen and said again: "By the way! After the 100-person list of Congress is confirmed, you need to revise the constitution of Yu Qiu's family first!"

"What is the Constitution?" Tsuda Soji naturally asked in surprise if he didn't understand the word that had not appeared in Japanese.

"It is the fundamental law of the country, which stipulates some fundamental systems of the country. For example, what authority does Yuqiu family have, what authority does the state have, what authority does the court have, and these laws involving the political system." Yuqiuping said while pointing to the scroll that was spread in front of them. "These are the basis of the scroll. This law does not involve specific details of taxes, trade, etc., and they are all rules at the macro level. It is the basis of all laws. All the laws you formulated later cannot violate this constitution, otherwise they can be sentenced to unconstitutional by the court."

Yu Qiuping paused and looked at Takamasa Katsuyama again. "In addition, you can also initiate an investigation on every member of Congress or Yu Qiu's family. If you find that they have violated the law and find evidence, you can ask them to be removed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the merchants took a breath. It seemed that Yu Qiuping gave Katsuyama Takamasa a lot of power, but this old man didn't know why, and he always looked like he was not in the air.

·

Yu Qiuping sighed and finally realized that the way he said just now was not very good. Youdao is to talk to people and talk to ghosts. Katsuyama Takamasa is different from those profit-oriented businessmen. If you want to persuade him to accept this system, you will naturally have to change your method.

Before Yu Qiuping could speak, Takamasa Katsuyama was already angry and shouted: "Enough! Enough! What are you all? The power of the Wu family is divided into three parts, and the warriors actually want to be on an equal footing with the merchants. What dignity does the Wu family have? It's such a nonsense! Where have you thrown the shogunate's laws and regulations?"

"What is your highness doing? Don't you know that this is the only way to end the cycle of chaos?" Yu Qiuping simply scolded him hard, which shocked Takamasa Katsuyama. Then he immediately took advantage of the situation and chased him: "Your Highness has always said that if everyone in the world abides by the law rules, there will be no more traitors! Then, now I let Your Highness take charge of the legal system and punish all those who do not abide by the law rules and regulations, isn't it just that your Highness is practicing what your Highness said?"

"What I want to abide by is the shogunate law and discipline. What you want everyone to abide by is the laws formulated by those merchants. Is it possible? Are you going to let the world's martial arts family laugh at me, Takamasa Katsumasa?" Takamasa Katsumasa Katsumasa yelled angrily, "What are you doing?"

"In order to end the cycle of chaos, hasn't Your Highness Kazuo never understood the current affairs? Why are you looking forward to the past for your reputation now?" Yu Qiuping choked the Takuma of Kazuo with one sentence, "Your Highness said that if everyone has only interests in their hearts, regards the law as if nothing, and only wants to gain authority through violence, then the world will never be peaceful. And below, we are exploring a different path." Yu Qiuping pointed to the two words of the judge on the scroll and said righteously: "Make a new set of laws to support judges and law enforcement officers."

Having the supreme status allows you to serve as a judge as an impartial and selfless person who is not aware of the current affairs. Even the powerful samurai of the Yuqiu family cannot change the law by interests or threats. Even if I, the head of the Yuqiu family, will be judged by you! Establish authority for the law, everyone is equal before the law, and let everyone abide by the law. When the Yuqiu family's power grows bigger and bigger, we can promote this system to the whole world. At that time, everyone in the world must abide by the law, and there will be no one who violates the law and will do anything to do anything."

After hearing Yu Qiuping's high-profile discussion, Takamasa Katsuyama seemed a little moved and asked in a low voice: "You want to say that I will serve as this judge, let the judiciary be separated, and have supreme authority, so as to ensure that no one can escape the judicial trial."

"That's true." Yu Qiuping nodded, "In the past, those powerful names were unscrupulous and attacked cities and lands, no law could restrict them at all. Because in the face of power, the law was useless. And my system was to keep the law from being affected by power and could still be judged fairly. The cycle of governance and chaos that Your Highness had worried about before was the shogunate law and discipline that could not restrict the powerful name of fighting for power and profit? Your Highness tried hard to abide by laws and regulations and was eager to go back to the past, but he could not. But if we establish a new legal system according to my system to ensure the independence and authority of the law, even the head of my Yu Qiu family would be investigated by you, and the law could restrict everyone, then the prosperous age you expected would come?"

"That's true, but you only seek help from the Hoshiyama family to fight against the Mihao family, so that you promised this way." Takamasato Shioyama snorted disdainfully. "When you defeat the Mihao family and have great power, I don't believe that you will put legislative power and judicial power in the hands of merchants and me, the law will still be disturbed by power."

"In other words, if I can give a system that ensures that I do not fail to infringe on the power of Congress and the court, you are willing to cooperate with us, right?" Yu Qiuping raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.
