Chapter 1292
Wu Feng nodded slightly. It seemed that Gu Ji and his group had made great efforts in this regard. They no longer had any objections to the power constraints of the security department. Although there is no doubt about Diao Su's loyalty, this kind of dominant mechanism is unhealthy. Power can only be concentrated in one's own hands, not exclusively by others. This is the standard feature of centralization. The security department's almost unlimited power in these special areas will inevitably attract many people's attention. The supervision department has no more means to supervise and restrain them. As Gu Ji said, only with the same powerful department as them can do this.
"Well, there are some reasons. Moron has raised objections to me on this issue. I have been considering this issue. However, since the empire did not form a complete structure in the early stage, it has been put on hold. But now it seems that it may be time to consider this matter. Hehe, the Empire Security Bureau, this name is quite suitable to ensure the security of the empire. It is a bit interesting. I am afraid that Diao Su is a little reluctant. This is a depriving his power." Wufeng laughed.
"Oh? If Diao Su really has this idea, it can only be said that he has been corrupted by the temptation brought by power. However, I don't think he looks like this. Whether it is the Imperial National Security Bureau or the Imperial Security Bureau, it is the same goal. It is to defend the security of the Empire. It is only different. One is the main force and the inside, and the other is the inside. It restricts and supervises each other, promotes and promotes each other, and promotes and promotes each other. This is the most reasonable configuration." Gu Ji also laughed. He could hear the joke in Wufeng's words. Diao Su is Wufeng's most trusted confidant. It is impossible for someone who can be the chief of the security department in Western Xinjiang to be absolutely loyal.
"Well, let's put it here. As long as there is a large framework, it will be much easier to handle. Your design seems to be very balanced and takes into account the actual situation of the empire. However, such a huge plan will inevitably cause a lot of controversy. Before it is truly determined, it will take many discussions to finalize it." Wu Feng seemed to be still wandering in Guji's plan, and he was a little absent-minded in his speech. "Your designs about the Imperial Senate and the Imperial Citizens are a bit innovative. I wonder how the legal procedures you designed to become members of the Imperial Senate and the Imperial Citizens and the legal powers of these two houses are determined?"
"In principle, members of the Imperial Senate should be produced by nobles above the barons enthroned by the Empire. According to your original idea, the aristocrats we set are no longer limited to the traditional aristocrats of the Tanghe Empire, namely the land aristocrats, and the scope should be relatively large. Of course, it depends on your future intention of enthronement. Generals who have made military achievements, officials who have worked very well, officials who have actively surrendered foreign leaders, and people from all walks of life who have made great contributions to all aspects of the Empire. These may become the targets of enthronement, and ultimately, they must be
You decide. The generation of members of the Imperial Senate should be from this group of people. In addition, it depends on your view on the aristocratic inheritance system. The inheritance systems of each country are different, which is also an important factor restricting the composition of the senate members. As for the representatives of the Imperial Citizens, in principle, they are recommended by ordinary citizens without titles in various counties, including representatives of each class. It should be said that the civil base of the civil base is more extensive, so the civil base can better reflect the public's opinion. Of course, this is just one of our ideas."
"As for the power issues between the two houses, we have always hoped to find a balance point, but unfortunately, I have no clue on how the power of the Senate and the Citizens should be positioned. Unlike those city-states and urban republics in the Western Continent, the power of the Executive Yuan and the Imperial Privy Council comes from the authorization of the Imperial Emperor, while the Imperial Supervisory Yuan and the Imperial Grand Court are only responsible to the Imperial Emperor. It should be said that the Senate and the Citizens have no power interference, but only as an institution that communicates public opinion or as a symbol of glory, this seems contrary to our original intention of learning from the two major advantages of balance and supervision in the Western Continent political system. How to find this balance point, or how to give these two houses a certain amount of power, seems to be up to you."
Guji smiled and pushed the question back.
Weiweizhu, Wufeng also knew the difficulties of Gu Ji and others. The difference is that the power of the Western Continental House comes from the people. Of course, all power organs must be supervised by the House. The empire is different. The power of all organs comes from the emperor's grant, which means that being able to interfere in these power organs also needs to obtain the authorization of His Majesty the Emperor, which becomes a contradiction.
However, Wu Feng did not seem to think that the symbol of communicating public opinion and glory is not important. On the contrary, either of these two items has an important role that cannot be ignored. Once this channel for communicating public opinion is established, it can make you more clear-headed. As a symbol of identity, both the representatives of the Senate and the representatives of the Civilian Court are enough to make people fight for it for life, which also provides an excellent stage for people of other classes who cannot gain political status through the channels of politics and military participation.
The conversation with Gu Ji is undoubtedly the most pleasant thing for Wu Feng. You can put aside all your worries and worries. Gu Ji has already clarified his will to himself. He has no intention of the political circle of the new empire. His greatest hope is to help Wu Feng create a great empire. It seems that the first step has been successful. In the following work, Gu Ji hopes to travel around the countries to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of the political systems of various countries in the mainland and provide a better reference for Wu Feng's new empire. Researching these things has always been Gu Ji's biggest hobby. It is this reason that Wu Feng opens his heart so reassuringly, and the feelings of interests can never believe in its purity.
The status of the Foreign Service Agency is also a focus of discussion between Wufeng and Guji. In Guji's view, diplomacy is a continuation of government administrative affairs. Although it is special, it is not worth mentioning separately. Many government policies are often closely related to foreign policy, and they should not be separated. They cannot be set up according to people. Perhaps because he thinks Wufeng has concerns in this regard, Guji specifically mentioned this view, which also won Wufeng's approval.
Charlotte's arrival finally made the two of them realize that it was time for dinner. Wufeng, who was very excited, simply sent Charlotte away with Gu Ji. He dressed up and chose to go out to the door of the house. Although the guards tried every means to stop him, it could not dispel Wufeng's intention.
It is undoubtedly a bit risky to go out at this time. Even Gu Ji regretted that he agreed to the other party's proposal, but it seems impossible to go back on his word now. Wu Feng's vigorous interest made Gu Ji realize that now he can only take the risk with his teeth.
Although the imperial capital is now under control in the hands of Xijiang, to be honest, the social security of the imperial capital has not become calm. A metropolis with a population of one million can never be eliminated, no matter how powerful the security power is, it will never stop everything that happens in the dark. In order to survive, countless people have to live in the dark world according to their lifestyle, and this has led to endless crimes occurring every day. The place where men are most enthusiastic is the source of these sins.
This is undoubtedly the most prosperous place in the imperial capital city. The gurgling waves gently hit the river bank. When the huge tower ship appeared in front of Wufeng, Wufeng could not believe that this would be the newly popular imperial capital gold cave - among the water and clouds. Such a huge tower ship had never been tried to be built even in the imperial naval fleet. There were dozens of golden silk and brocade palace leather lanterns hanging on each floor of wooden buildings. This handmade artifact from Gusu Prefecture, Jiangnan, the stormy halo revealed from the core of the lantern, which attracted the surroundings to be shining brightly, enough to soak in wood. The gorgeous and exquisite tassels swayed slightly, and the lifelike picture of a lady was reflected on the hull through the lights on the lanterns. The light and shadow were everywhere, making people dazzling.
Not to mention anything else, this leather lantern is just a lantern that is not affordable. In addition to its exquisite workmanship, the material of thin skin, silk brocade, gold thread, and wooden frames are enough for a civilian family to spend a year. The most expensive thing is the wick thread in the lantern, which is made of a special vine plant produced on the islands outside the South Ocean. The wick made of this vine plant is particularly soft when burned, and it will emit a special fragrance, which has the effect of calming the mind.
Wufeng is so clear because there are two such lanterns on the door of Hua Yumei's room. When Wufeng stayed in Hua Yumei's room for a day, he boasted that he looked good. Guan Yingying showed off the origin of this lantern. This lantern workshop only accepts orders, and each price is as high as 500 imperial gold coins. The high price is simply jaw-dropping. Such a building ship has as many as dozens of them as one floor. The entire ship is probably worth more than two hundred. This cost alone is enough to make ordinary wealthy merchants bankrupt a few times, and this is just a cost on lighting.
I don’t know what other innovative facilities there are in such a huge place. I’m afraid I don’t know how much money it will cost to go there.
