Ji Yi's soft knife is powerful, but Wu Haogu cannot show his timidity in front of his subordinates and confidants. He has to deliberately pretend that he is confident and everything is in control. Only Ximen Qing knows that last night, Wu Haogu couldn't sleep with his eyes all night!

There is still a way to deal with it, just to seize some territory. However, Ji Yi served as the commander of the Hailu Maritime Market and granted Tianjin Autonomous Power, but he pointed out the life gate of Wu Haogu.

Because Wu Haogu's power is actually based on the road blocking fee rights of the Tianjin Industry and Commerce and the Hailu Maritime Marketing Department.

If Ji Yi had both sides poached, Wu Haogu would not have enough financial resources to maintain the army, nor would there be a huge industry and commerce to support the supply of weapons.

Fortunately, Lin Chong and Yan Po'er's good daughter Yan Xijiao have some intelligence talent. She found Ji Yi's trick early in the morning (in fact, the Song Dynasty court is just a sieve with air flow on all sides, so it is not difficult to inquire about intelligence), and gave herself time to think about countermeasures.

After thinking for a night, Wu Haogu had some ideas now and would talk about this with his confidants this afternoon.

Wu Haogu never sat down in front of his seat, and walked slowly among the people in the hall. After a while, he said, "What are you doing standing? Let's sit down. You are not outsiders, you are all my brothers and sisters, so there is no need to talk about the red tape. Besides, we are different from those in Kaifeng Prefecture. They are based on family and family. The world is so big that they are all private property of one family. We started from Jiehe Commercial City, which is a republic of the merchants and the people. We value the world as the public, and we are selecting wise men and capable people, trust and cultivate harmony. Wu was not talented, and was elected by you, so that we could build a land of happiness and achieve the current situation."

His words were beyond the expectations of his confidants. What does Wu Haogu mean? Don’t be king? Want the world to be the public? Want the republic? Then what is the head of the republic? Is the head of the republic?

Seeing everyone's surprised gaze, Wu Haogu smiled and waved his hand to let them sit down. After everyone sat down, Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Being a king, being a governor, or a head of state is just a name. The key is not a name, but to be the public and a republic. The major affairs of Yan land cannot be decided by a certain family, and there is no idea of ​​a certain person to decide by a certain person. It is still necessary for everyone to discuss it, so Yan land must also have a Senate, and a certain King of Peking will continue to be the chief veteran of the Senate!"

The confidants were a little surprised, but they didn't show much surprise. After all, the republic has been in Jiehe Commercial City for more than ten years. Everyone is the initiator of the Commercial City Republic, and they know what the rules are.

"The world is for the public" and other things are just a group of commercial initiators who have huge wealth discuss and do things. After so many years of operation, the commercial initiator is also very good? But the situation in Yandi is much more complicated than that in commercial initiator.

The population and land alone are numerous times more!

Can it still be governed by Republican and Senate politics?

"Jings and handsome," Zhao Zhongge was the first to express his opinion, "You want to be the chief veteran of the Yandi Senate. We naturally support it, but where did this Yandi Senate come from?"

Murong Wangyou also followed and said: "Scholars all know what they said in the Book of Rites, but they didn't expect it to be true in the hands of the Jishuai. But now they are governing Yan land, no longer a small market. If you are not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Wu Haogu nodded, "That's why we discuss this with everyone."

He paused, "Let me say a few words first, it's a throwing brick and arousing jade."

The senate house in our Yan land should be divided into two courtyards, each with hundreds of senate houses. The senate house is the kings and nobles of our Yan land, the great craftsmen and merchants in Tianjin, and the well-educated scholars in the country, so set three simple standards.

The royal family members who can provide the number of armored cavalry can be selected. All the families who can rank in the top forty can elect a senior senior in the upper court.

The big businessmen, using tax payment as the standard, can all elect a veteran of the Supreme Court, such as the top 30 chambers of commerce, business banks, and merchants.

As for the great scholars who have learned a lot, they were elected by the Great Doctoral Order, Yuntai Academy, Knights Academy, and the Navy Academy. There were also thirty people.

In addition, all veterans, regardless of whether they belong to the upper and lower courts, have a term of office, and can be re-elected for five years."

This standard is simple. The royal family judges the number of knights by the number of knights. If they can provide Wu Haogu with more knights, they can send out veterans in the upper court. However, the big merchants and big workers judge heroes by paying taxes, and those who pay more taxes can recommend veterans.

By the way, the main body of electing veterans here is not a natural person, but a unit such as families, chambers of commerce, commercial banks, and merchants. Moreover, the noble families of Yandi and chambers of commerce and commercial banks with independent taxpayer qualifications owned by these families can elect veterans as long as they meet the standards.

Taking Wu Haogu as an example, he has so many fakes, and he can provide knights, of course, ranks high in the top, and is qualified to elect a veteran. The Republican Bank, Tianjin Bank, Wandawazi, Wanjia Real Estate, Wangbeilou Real Estate, Huaguaishou, Jiehe Shipyard, Jiuxianxing, Tianjin Horse Farm, as well as the Jiehe Maritime Warehouse and Tianjin Armory Factory that he controls, as long as he can enter the top 30 Yandi in terms of tax payment, he can still recommend a veteran.

In addition, he is also the leader of the empirical school. Through the Doctoral Order, the Yuntai Academy and a series of professional colleges, he can recommend many more veterans.

In other words, Wu Haogu himself can elect forty or fifty veterans from the future Yandi Senate upper courtyard.

"As for the senators of the lower house of the Senate, they should be elected by citizens, and the number is also one hundred." Wu Haogu said, "Whether they are citizens of Yan, military service, tax payment and knowledge shall prevail. All knights who are granted land, government soldiers and officers who are escorted and above are natural citizens. The tax amount paid in the previous year was enough to support and provide a private household or merchant with an employee infantry soldier, and the head of the household or Dongweng was also citizens. All students from the Yuntai Academy and the lower colleges and doctoral students, doctors in the Ph.D. Orders are also citizens of Yan.

In addition, people who have made meritorious on Yan land can be granted citizenship at their discretion, regardless of their origin.

Becoming a citizen can not only elect veterans, but also serve as officials, and children or themselves can also be given priority to enroll in Yuntai Academy, colleges and academies."

These things were not thought of by Wu Haogu without sleeping all night, but the result of the long-term "democratic experiment" of Jiehe Commercial City and JD Commercial City.

Murong Wangyou listened carefully, and after listening, he frowned and asked, "What are the powers and responsibilities of the upper and lower courts of this Senate? What are the differences between the upper and lower courts?"

"The Supreme Court is responsible for discussing military and national affairs, while the Lower Court is responsible for discussing civil affairs and taxation." Wu Haogu said, "The Supreme Court and the Lower Court jointly elected the heads of the Yandi government, reviewed the candidates for each housekeeper, reviewed the budget, and elected the heads of the directly affiliated prefectures, counties and cities.

All persons in charge of autonomous prefectures, counties, and markets must also be approved by the upper and lower houses every few years. If the person in charge is illegal, the upper and lower houses also have the right to impeach..."

"Jingshou, who is the head of the government?"

Someone asked a question immediately.

In power, they knew that the prime minister of the Song Dynasty refers to the prime minister and the governor. Is this head of the Yan government equivalent to the prime minister of the "Yan State"?

"It's me!" Wu Haogu said word by word, "I plan to be the first Yandi to rule."

"But aren't you the king?" Ximen Anguo asked.

"The king was granted by the officials of the Song Dynasty," Wuhao Ancient Road, "ruling was elected by the people of Yan through the Senate! Mencius said: People are the foundation, the king is the least, and the country is the second. Therefore, the ruler is the ruler, which is recommended by the people of Yan, is more qualified to take charge of Yan than the kings of the Song Dynasty!"

This is the name of great righteousness, and it is also the method used by Wu Haogu to avoid the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" in Yan. His King of Beiping did the same, but at the same time, he bubbled the "king" and then ruled in the name of the rule recommended by the Senate of Yan.

In other words, his power does not come from Zhao Ji, but from citizens, wealthy families and taxpayers in Yan land!

In addition, Wu Haogu's "king" is all bubbled, so don't take the bunch of dukes below seriously, just have a happy time.

The number of land, wealth, and knights can be taken seriously!

Murong Wangyou thought for a while and asked again: "What is the difference between autonomy and direct administration?"

Wuhao Ancient Road: "Today's Yan territory includes Tianjin Prefecture, Yanshan Prefecture, Shunzhou, Jizhou, Tanzhou, Jingzhou, Zhuozhou, Luanzhou, Pingzhou, Yingzhou, Tianjin City, Suzhou City (referring to Dalian), and some overseas territories. Not counting overseas territories, the land directly under the government in the future is Tianjin Prefecture, Yanshan Prefecture and Suzhou City, and the remaining eight prefectures and one city are all autonomous.

Autonomy is divided into two types: observation autonomy and commercial autonomy. Eight of the prefectures are observation autonomy, while Tianjin is commercial autonomy. Observation autonomy does not require a meeting to establish a meeting of deliberations. It only requires reporting important military, political and civil affairs, and maintaining a certain garrison force, and sending some of them to serve in the first service.

The self-government of the Shangcheng Municipal Government establishes a council, and the system can be referred to as the Senate in Yan. At the same time, the autonomous Shangcheng Municipal Government also needs to maintain self-defense militias and pay taxes to the Yancheng Municipal Government.”

According to Wu Haogu's idea, the Yan land in the future will take the route of using land to support soldiers and using industry and commerce to make money. There is basically no agricultural tax on the two governments directly under the jurisdiction, nor will it allow the sale of land and the demise of manors. Agricultural land will be strictly linked to military service, and the Knight Manor and the Manor Farm will become the most common form of land possession.

A series of commercial cities and overseas colonies including Yanshan Prefecture City, Tianjin Commercial City, Suzhou Commercial City, Jueying Island Commercial City, Nanxin Island Commercial City, Danluo Commercial City, and Liuqiu Commercial City are the main sources of wealth for the Yandi government.

Although there is not much wealth, because the Manor Knights and the Scholars of the Field Mansion are both soldiers who do not pay the regular salary, the expenses will not be too large, and it should be very easy to maintain.
