"In the past dynasties, the central province had six ministries. We don't use six ministries. We still decide how many ministries we have according to actual needs. www. We had five ministries before, but I think it's still a little short." Wu Dong said.
"Then there should be something else?" Li Gang said.
"Since the military system is no longer implemented, there should naturally be an interior ministry. The former economic ministry can be changed to the finance ministry. In addition, there should be an education ministry and a supervision ministry." Wu Dong said.
Everyone began to discuss Wu Dong's proposal. After a whole morning, everyone finally basically agreed to Wu Dong's proposal.
"Since our department has increased, and there may be more in the future, the voting rights of the Governor should naturally increase." At the end of the morning meeting, Hua Rong said.
"Then three votes." Wu Dong said.
To this point, everyone raised their hands in agreement.
When it came to the afternoon meeting, Wu Dong said: "I have decided to establish a consultative bureau."
"Consultative Council? What is this?" Li Gang said in surprise.
"The Consultative Bureau is a place for the whole country and provinces to gather public opinions, and it is also a place for people to participate in and discuss politics." Wu Dong said.
"Isn't this necessary? Grand Governor, I always feel that it is inappropriate for the people to participate in the discussion of politics! The words of the sage can be understood by the people but not ignored. The people only need to accept the rule and education. They have no right to interfere in politics!"
Li Gang frowned.
"Before the establishment of Liangshan, weren't we all ordinary people? The people had no place to speak or express their wishes. They had no choice but to rise up and establish a dynasty themselves! Since the establishment of Liangshan, I have kept saying, 'The world is not
The world belongs to one person, but to all people! The people are the most valuable and the king is the least important. If this is the case, why can't the people participate in the discussion of politics?" Wu Dong said.
"Grand Governor, can only ordinary people participate in this council? If that's the case, what's the use of everyone talking and chaos?" Zhu Wudao said.
"Of course not everyone can participate! Members of the Advisory Council need to be elected by the people. Only those with prestige, knowledge, and character can enter it and participate in politics on behalf of the people," Wu Dong said.
"Grand Governor, could you please tell me what 'participating in and discussing state affairs' specifically refers to?" Hua Rong said.
"They can vote to pass laws, they can vote to pass a year's fiscal budget, and they can even vote to express their dissatisfaction with the entire Central Province, thus prompting all officials in Central Province to step down." Wu Dong said calmly.
"What?" After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
In fact, this "Consultative Bureau" is a certain form of parliament! At the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the Qing court was "preparing for the establishment of a constitution," Empress Dowager Cixi ordered various places to establish consultative bureaus. It can be said that the consultative bureau was the beginning of Chinese democratic politics in history.
Unfortunately, the power of change was not as good as the power of revolution, and in the end the Qing court's preparatory constitution failed.
It has been more than ten years since Wu Dong founded Liangshan. During these more than ten years, he has been constantly trying to change people's minds and introduced some democratic systems into Liangshan. It was not until now that he was about to ascend the throne that he proposed a proposal
The bureau's system. He was careful every step he took, lest the changes would be too big and cause social unrest.
However, this "Consultative Bureau" is still too advanced for Hua Rong, Li Gang and others.
Throughout the afternoon and evening, everyone has been discussing the matter of the Advisory Bureau. Even everyone attending the meeting participated in the discussion, but so far they have not reached a unified conclusion.
In a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month arrived, which was the Lantern Festival, and the city of Yanjing was full of joy, but the top leaders of Liangshan were still having heated discussions!
In the evening, Wu Dong visited Hua Rong's home in person, persuaded Hua Rong, and finally won Hua Rong's support! It was very late, but he came to the residence of Li Gang, Zhu Wu, Gongsun Sheng, Qin Hui, Wu Yong and others
I also discussed with these people carefully and tried to persuade them!
On the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, when the final vote was held, the establishment of the "Consultative Bureau" was still approved! Of course, the approval was passed, and it will take a long time for real implementation!
When the meeting ended in the morning, Li Gang stood outside the political hall with a worried expression on his face. In his opinion, the changes in the system were still too great, and no one knew whether the system was right or wrong. What if it was wrong?
Yes, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for the country in the future.
"Grand Governor, if you implement these policies rashly, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Liangshan in the future!" When Wu Dong came out, Li Gang grabbed Wu Dong and said.
"Don't worry, I won't rashly implement such a policy! We can first select a place to conduct political experiments, such as Korea, or the newly developed northern provinces and Liaodong provinces. Wait until the experiments in these places are no longer
After the problem is solved, we will slowly expand the scope! If there is a problem, we will either correct it or stop it!" Wu Dong said.
"Okay!" At this moment, Li Gang finally agreed to the matter.
Wu Dong also breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone finally approved the matter of the Advisory Bureau. In the future, with the Advisory Bureau, it can achieve the purpose of supervising the government on the other hand, and it can also achieve the purpose of decentralization! The final legislative power
It must be handed over to the hands of the Advisory Council!
Unchecked power is terrifying. Under such power, whether it is personal dictatorship or collective dictatorship, the country will eventually be destroyed. China will eventually be unable to escape the law of dynasty replacement. Wu Dong wants to end this state and decentralize power.
, checks and balances, constitutionalism, etc. are all essential.
On the afternoon of the 16th day of the first lunar month, everyone began to discuss the name of the country and the name of the year.
"Although we occupy the north now, we originated from Liangshan! For ten years, we have always regarded Liangshan as our best. Since we want to establish a country, I think we can use 'Liang' as our name. What do you think?" Li Gang asked at the meeting.
.
No one has any objection to this.
"As for the reign name, Grand Governor, this is up to you to decide." Li Gang said.
"I think the year name can be 'Datong'." Wu Dong said.
"Datong?" Li Gang began to think slowly. Some of the people below were discussing and some were also thinking.
The so-called "Datong" is the ideal world imagined by the ancient Chinese and one of the ultimate thoughts of Confucianism. It is not an exaggeration to use all perfect words to describe "Datong". Historically, the kings who used "Datong" as their reign name
Much, I didn't expect that Wu Dong would also use "Datong" as his nickname.
"I want to build a real world of great harmony. I wonder if you are willing to follow me to do it?" Wu Dong said with a smile.
"Yes!" everyone said one after another.
"The path of the great road is also to ensure that the world is for the common good! Select the worthy and capable, maintain trust and cultivate harmony! Old friends do not only kiss their relatives, nor do they only have their sons and daughters! Let the old have their end, the strong be useful, the young be prosperous, and the widowed, widowed, lonely and disabled.
Everyone has something to support! Men have something to support
If there is a share, the girl has her own home. If the goods are abandoned on the ground, there is no need to hide them. If the power does not come from the body, there is no need to do it for oneself. This is why people seek closure but do not prosper, and thieves and thieves do not commit crimes. Therefore, the outside door is not closed.
, it means Datong!" Wu Dong murmured.
In the legendary "World of Great Harmony", everyone loves and helps each other, every family lives and works in peace and contentment, everyone respects the elderly, everyone loves the young, there is unevenness everywhere, and no one lacks food and warmth. The world is for the common good, and the country does not belong to one family or one surname.
The king is like Yao and Shun in ancient times, but
Serve the world. Select talents and talents, and let the people decide who will serve as officials. Goods are used to their fullest extent, and people do their best. Houses are not closed at night, and there are no thieves in the world. Such a world is much more beautiful than the "Peach Blossom Spring" described by Tao Yuanming.
, is a truly perfect society.
Of course, it is simply impossible to truly realize a harmonious world. The idea of unevenness everywhere has long been proven wrong by history and does not conform to the laws of social development. It is also impossible for everyone to be morally noble.
All Dong can do is move closer to such a world, try to achieve social fairness and make people prosperous.
"The world is for the common good and the world is unified... Back then, Mr. Sun took this sentence as his motto, but he didn't expect that I would take Datong as my reign title today." A smile appeared on Wu Dong's face.
