His eyes flashed and Wu Feng nodded slightly. It seemed that Gu Ji and his gang had worked hard in this regard. He was no longer the only one who had objections to the power constraints of the security department. Although Diao Su was not loyal in terms of loyalty. There is no doubt that this kind of monopoly mechanism is unhealthy. Power can only be concentrated in one's own hands and cannot be enjoyed exclusively by others. This is a standard feature of centralized power, and the security department has almost unlimited power in these special areas. Power will inevitably attract the attention of many people, and the supervisory department has no more means to supervise and restrain them. As Guji said, only departments with the same power as them can do this.
"Well, it makes some sense. Morun has already raised objections to me on this issue. I have been thinking about this issue, but since the empire did not form a complete structure in the early stage, it has been shelved. But now it looks like Maybe it's time to consider this matter. Hehe, the Imperial Security Bureau, this name is quite suitable. It ensures the security of the empire. It has some meaning. I'm afraid Diao Su is a little unwilling in his heart. This is reducing his power. ." Wufeng laughed.
"Oh? If Diao Su really has this idea, it can only be said that he was corrupted by the temptation of power, but I don't think he seems like this kind of person, whether it is the Imperial National Security Bureau or the Imperial Security Bureau, They all have the same purpose, to safeguard the security of the empire, but each focuses on different things. One focuses on the outside and internal, and the other focuses on the internal and external. They restrict and supervise each other, promote each other, and form a virtuous circle. This is the most reasonable configuration." Gu Ji also laughed. When he woke up, he could hear the joking meaning in Wu Feng's words. Diao Su was Wu Feng's most trusted confidant and could serve as the chief of the Western Xinjiang security department. It is impossible not to be absolutely loyal.
"Well. Let's leave it here, regarding the setting up of the empire's power structure. As long as there is a large framework, it will be much easier to handle. Your design seems to be very balanced, and it also takes into account the actual situation of the empire, but such a huge plan It is bound to cause a lot of controversy. It will take a lot of discussions before it can be finalized." Wu Feng seemed to be still lingering in Guji's plan, and he spoke a little absent-mindedly, "What do you think about the Imperial Senate and Imperial Citizens? The design of the Senate is somewhat new. I wonder how you have designed the legal procedures for becoming a member of the Imperial Senate and the Imperial Citizens' Senate and how the legal powers of these two chambers are determined?"
"In principle, the members of the Imperial Senate should be produced from nobles with the title of baron or above conferred by the empire. According to your original idea, the nobles we set are not limited to the traditional nobles of the Tanghe Empire, that is, the landed nobles. The scope should be Relatively large, of course, it depends on your future canonization intentions. Generals who have made military achievements, officials who have worked effectively, foreign leaders and officials who have taken the initiative to surrender, and people from all walks of life who have made great contributions to various aspects of the empire may all become candidates for canonization. In the end, it is up to you to decide. The members of the Imperial Senate should come from this group of people. In addition, it also depends on your views on the aristocratic inheritance system. Succession systems vary from country to country. This is also a system that limits the composition of the Senate members. An important factor. As for the representatives of the Imperial House of Commons, they are in principle recommended by ordinary citizens without titles in each county, including representatives from all walks of life. It should be said that the people's base of the House of Commons is broader, so the House of Citizens can better reflect the public opinion. . Of course, this is just an idea of ours."
"As for the power issue of the two houses, we have always hoped to find a balance point, but unfortunately, I have no idea how the power of the Senate and the Citizens' House should be positioned. It is different from those city-states and urban republics in the Western Continent. The Imperial Executive Yuan and the Imperial Executive Yuan The power of the Privy Council comes from the authorization of the Imperial Emperor, and the Imperial Supervisory Council and the Imperial Council are also only responsible to the Imperial Emperor. It should be said that the Senate and the Citizens' Council have no power to interfere, but they only serve as an institution to communicate public opinion or as a A symbol of glory, this seems to go against our original intention of drawing on the two major advantages of balance and supervision in the political system of the Western Continent. How to find this balance point, or how to give these two houses certain powers, seems to be up to you. Decided."
Guji smiled and pushed the question back.
Nodding slightly, Wu Feng also knew that Gu Ji and the others were in trouble. The difference was that the power of the Western Continent House of Representatives came from the people. Of course, all power agencies must be supervised by the House. But the empire was different. The power of all agencies came from the emperor. Granting, that is to say, being able to interfere with these power organs also requires the authorization of His Majesty the Emperor, which becomes a contradiction.
However, Wu Feng does not seem to think that the communication of public opinion and the symbol of glory are 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 oneself more discerning, and as a symbol of status, whether a representative of the Senate or the House of Citizens is enough for people to fight for life, it also provides people from other classes who cannot obtain political status through politics and the military with an absolute opportunity to show themselves. Great stage.
The conversation with Gu Ji is undoubtedly the most pleasant thing for Wu Feng. He can put aside all worries and worries. Gu Ji has already made it clear to himself that he has no intention of being involved in the political circles of the new empire. His greatest hope is to help Wu Feng. To create a great empire, it seems that the first step has been successful. In the next work, Gu Ji hopes to travel around the world to examine the advantages and disadvantages of the political systems of various countries in the mainland, so as to provide better reference for Wufeng's new empire, and research These things have always been Gu Ji's biggest hobby. It is for this reason that Wu Feng opens his heart so confidently. Emotions mixed with interests can never make people believe in their purity.
The status of the Foreign Affairs Office was also a focus of discussion between Wu Feng and Gu Ji. According to Gu Ji, diplomacy is originally a continuation of government administrative affairs. Although it is special, it is not worthy of being listed separately. Many government policies are often inseparable from foreign policy. The connection should not be separated, and positions should not be assigned based on people. Perhaps because he felt that Wu Feng had concerns in this regard, Gu Ji specifically mentioned this point of view, which was also agreed by Wu Feng.
Charlotte's arrival finally made the two people who were chatting deeply understand that it was already time to eat. Wu Feng, who was in high spirits, simply sent him away. Charlotte changed clothes and made up together with Gu Ji and chose a small door to go out. Although it was close to The guards tried to stop him in every possible way, but they could not dispel Wu Feng's intention.
It is undoubtedly a bit risky to go out at this time. Even Gu Ji regrets that he agreed to the other party's proposal, but it seems impossible to go back on it now. Wu Feng's high interest makes Gu Ji understand that now he can only bite the bullet and accompany him. Taking risks.
Although the Imperial City is now controlled by Xijiang, to be honest, the social security of the Imperial City has not become peaceful. For a city like this with a population of one million, no matter how powerful the security force is, it will never be able to Put an end to everything that happens in the dark. In order to survive, countless people have to live according to their lifestyle in the dark world, and this also results in endless crimes happening every day. The places where men are most active are among these crimes. source.
This is undoubtedly the most prosperous place in the Imperial City. The gurgling water waves gently lap on the river bank. When the huge building ship appears in front of Wu Feng, Wu Feng simply cannot believe that this is the newly popular Golden Grotto of the Imperial Capital. Yunjian, such a huge ship has never been attempted to be built even in the Imperial Navy fleet. There are dozens of gold and embroidered palace leather lanterns hung on wooden floors on each floor. This handicraft comes from Gusu Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River. The slow halo shines from the lantern core, illuminating the surroundings. It attracts a dazzling light that is enough to soak three-thirds of the wood. The gorgeous and exquisite tassels are slightly swaying. The lifelike pictures of ladies are reflected on the hull through the light on the lantern. The light and shadow are dazzling and dazzling.
Not to mention anything else, just by looking at this leather lantern, Wu Feng knew that this thing was not something that ordinary people could afford. In addition to the exquisite workmanship, the materials of thin leather, silk brocade, gold thread, and wooden frame were enough for you. A civilian family spends a year, and the most precious thing is the wick thread in the lantern, which is twisted with a special vine grown on the islands off the Atlantic Ocean. The wick made of this vine burns with flames. It is particularly soft, and it also emits a special fragrance, which has a calming effect on people.
The reason why Wu Feng knew so clearly was because there were two such lanterns at the door of Hua Yumei's room. One day when Wu Feng was staying in Hua Yumei's room, he boasted about how beautiful it was, and Guan Yingying told her about it like a show off. The origin of this kind of lantern. This kind of lantern workshop only accepts orders. The price of each lantern is as high as 500 imperial gold coins. The price is simply jaw-dropping. And such a building ship has dozens of lanterns on just one floor. The entire ship may cost more than 200 lights. This cost alone is enough to bankrupt an ordinary wealthy businessman several times, and this is just a cost for lighting.
I don’t know what other unique facilities there are in such a hugely expensive place. I’m afraid I don’t know how much money it will cost to go there
Seeing that Wu Feng seemed to be cowering, Gu Ji couldn't help but laugh. His Highness, King Qin, who was about to ascend the throne, would be frightened by such a sexual place. If it spread, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud? The entire empire can crawl at his feet, how can it be difficult for him to live in the Golden Cave
