There is a reason for Xia Xianze's anger: In fact, under great pressure, some inside the conservatives have advocated a shortcut that everyone is familiar with and looks beautiful: shut up the emperors.

In other words, it is to deprive minorities of their right to participate in politics.

The winner is king, the winner is not punished, the opponents are killed and the family dominates, and then the history books are revised... All perfidious means are "tricks" that can be used to praise. This is how it has been done in all dynasties. Li Er is typical.

In short, it is impossible to cooperate, even in this life, the only way to live is to let the opponent shut up forever.

...Even if they have gone to the parallel plane, the East Asian nation's culture of raising Gu for thousands of years has left its imprint on the people who traversed it.

Fortunately, this kind of brain-dead suggestion was quickly dropped by PASS.

Cultivate the left and right parties in the aristocratic council, absorb the indigenous elites in the future, expand into the upper and lower houses, and establish a complete national political structure when the first generation crosses the crowd, all of which have long been known to the elites. The established route cannot be changed.

As for not solving the problem, but directly solving the opponent's body's Gu raising mode-to put it bluntly, it is the same as the winner and loser. Can this kind of thing be used on the transversal crowd with only more than 200 people?You know, this model must see blood... Is there any other way to shut up people with different political views for thousands of years besides seeing blood?

On this issue, no matter whether it is Cao Chuan himself or Xia Xianze, who have a clear head, they will not choose the wrong path: Cao Chuan could have "taken away" a certain time traveler who had his idea, but in the end it was nothing more than It's just a tomato in the face.

In short, the kind of struggle where you die and the winner takes all is not allowed here.Emperor Cao was the first to disagree: he must be prepared for the day when the ring flies away.

When that day really comes, if the people of the new plane are still repeating the thinking mode of raising Gu, then he or his descendants will definitely be overthrown by the mob clamoring "the princes and generals are better than each other".

The current stage is the best opportunity for everyone to adapt to cooperation and compromise. The old space-time set has no market at all under the unique model of more than 200 natural nobles.

This is also the reason why Xia Xianze is angry: the signs must be suppressed immediately.For the emperor, but also for himself.

……

At this point in the meeting, in fact, it can't go on: if the decision-makers can't come up with a solution, things can only freeze here.Of course Xia Xianze knew this, so after he got angry, he waved his hand to signal the end of the meeting.

After the meeting was over, he went up the stairs on the second floor to the platform alone, and walked around the Jianyuan Hall on the top of the building, with his hands behind his back.

In fact, Xia Xianze's mood was far from as bad as it looked: his bad complexion was caused by many chores these days, and had nothing to do with these frowning negotiators.

How to solve the problem, he already had the answer in his mind, but he didn't want to take this step before the deadline-calling the parents every now and then, this kind of style has sequelae, and will reduce popularity among the friends.

After a dumb laugh, Xia Xianze shook his head: On the bright side, everyone has gained a lot these days.The losers who have never experienced real parliamentary struggles have finally experienced a primitive debate and compromise during these days.

You know, this is a great plan to discuss for a thousand years, a great cause of nation-building, and a major event related to the well-being of future generations.This is not the usual company meeting. Everyone is doing things in a sacred state in Alexander these days.

Being able to reach the current situation is actually pretty good.At least these low-level losers in the old world are finally playing politics decently now. Xia Xianze is already very satisfied without bullets and knives flying around.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the "Imperial Palace" which was quiet and deserted, then he sighed again, and said to himself: "Oh, I still need to invite the parents!"

Having said that, he turned his head and walked into the Jianyuan Hall.

Generally speaking, the Jianyuan Hall is open to all time travelers.After all, a well-lit glass curtain wall hall is still very useful, and Cao Chuan usually doesn't use it.

However, recently, due to the tense atmosphere, Jianyuan Hall was temporarily closed.It is said to the outside world that it needs to be renovated and then cleaned.

After Xia Xianze came to the side door, he took out the key and gently opened the small door.

Next, he will exercise his highest authority, which is different from all other time-traversing people: take the initiative to ask to see Cao Chuan.

This kind of behavior was called "isolation from China and foreign countries" in ancient times, and it was a necessary skill to ban the emperor for powerful officials, eunuchs, empresses, etc. of all dynasties.

But here today, Xia Xianze can't keep anyone away. He just came to the secret door behind the dragon chair honestly, rang the doorbell, and reported his intentions. Then he began to pray that Boss Cao was at home today... If he wasn't, then It means that people have gone to the later generations to be unrestrained, which is a bit of a waste of time.

Fortunately, Boss Cao is still saving face today, and he didn't go to the future generations to be licentious.Not long after Xia Xianze rang the doorbell, Cao Chuan came out of the door wearing a heather gray sportswear.

Chapter 305 Organization (three)

Wearing sportswear, Cao Chuan, sweating all over his head, looks like he just finished exercising... This one is special, no one knows whether he just finished training on the treadmill in the secret room, or just played with beautiful women in the swimming pool...

When Xia Xianze saw the rightful lord appearing, he hurriedly said hello, and invited the emperor's son to sit on the throne.

"There is no one else, so sit by yourself." Cao Chuan sat on the hard square couch, pointed to his side, and signaled Lao Xia to find a seat for himself.

Xia Xianze didn't dare to be hypocritical at this meeting: the scene of pushing and giving way in the old world, with a smile hiding a knife, has long since disappeared in this group.The environment has changed people, and now all the people across the world are honest people, they can speak up when they have something to say, scold them when they are upset, and move by themselves if they don't have a chair... just stand if you are humble.

So he quickly moved a chair with a back from under the stage, and sat beside Cao Chuan.

After wiping off his sweat with a towel, Cao Chuan turned his head and said with a smile, "Old Xia, what's wrong with your decadent face?"

"Mr. Cao... this, um, the emperor's eyes are as bright as a torch!" Xia, who was born under the red flag, is still not quite used to this kind of match between monarch and minister.

"It's good to call Mr. Cao, it's nothing like that."

"Cough... Speaking of enthronement, the ceremony is almost ready... Now the constitution has not yet been finalized."

After Xia Xianze was silent for a while, he still told the truth.

"I guess that's it. Didn't someone shout downstairs last week that they would rather die than submit? They almost knocked off the rearview mirror of my two cars. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, yes!" Xia Xianze nodded again and again, his face full of anger, and he instantly turned into an eye medicine expert: "It's Bai Hongda and his group, they are grandstanding, greedy, and have no sense of the overall situation."

Cao Chuan smiled and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, what things are stuck, you tell me, let's add up."

"Okay." Xia Xianze waited for this sentence: "Then let's start with the important things like the country name, national flag and national anthem. There are a bunch of more after that."

Cao Chuan rolled his eyes at this moment: "...You guys have been playing house these days, and nothing has been done?"

Xia Xianze said with a wry smile, "Actually, the consensus has been reached long ago, it's just that the bastards are messing around and dragging the time. No, today I just invited Mr. Cao to make the decision... Hehe, this is called Gan Gang's arbitrary decision!"

"It seems that I won't be able to finish talking in a while." Hearing this, Cao Chuan reached out and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and then clicked on the memo: "Let's go through it one by one."

……

For the rest of the day, the two of them didn't move.It wasn't until the lights came on and the imperial city's self-provided coal + oil power generation system began to increase the power, and when the lights in the Jianyuan Hall were lit, people discovered the abnormality.

However, some people on the far side of the Taijiang River actually got the news from the moment Xia Xianze went up to the third floor.When the people who stayed in the imperial city called Bai Hongda about the appearance of the BOSS on the LAN mobile phone unique to senior officials, he stood up and looked at Wei Hu who was watching the mobile phone at the same time: the time for the showdown has finally come.

To a certain extent, the fact that Xia Xianze invited Cao Chuan out was the ultimate goal that Bai Hongda and the others wanted to achieve.Although the theoretically best outcome of this matter is that Xia Xianze agrees to their series of unreasonable demands-this is basically impossible, unless the Conservatives are all crazy.

In this way, delaying time and forcing Cao Chuan to intervene in advance to "pull the sidelines", thereby attacking the prestige of the Conservative Party at all levels and laying out plans for future high-level political struggles, has become a matter of constitution making for the emperors. the best possible effect.

Of course, everything has two sides, and doing so is risky.If Xia Xianze really screwed up his ascension to the throne by holding back his neck and refusing to ask Emperor Cao to come out, then it is foreseeable that although Xia did not have any good results afterwards, Bai Hongda would completely offend Cao Chuan to death .

……

Can Emperor Junxian really be easily offended?

It is now 1628, and the small society established by the time-traversing people is still a pyramid in essence, far from being developed to the extent that the emperors and emperors would put it on display.

What's more, Emperor Cao is not a decoration at all.

The so-called "Huang Han, Huang Zuo" group of people is only compared to the more than 200 people in the crossing crowd.

People like Bai Hongda, like Xia Xianze, are a combination of big bourgeoisie + big aristocrats + big landlords. It is impossible for them to represent a poor class to promote equal rights, progress, democracy and revolution.

The democracy they talk about is just a trick of sitting in rows within the small circle; even if it is not their turn this time, it will always be their turn in a few years... It has nothing to do with everyone outside the Transmigration Crowd.

Therefore, for social development, it is useless to have money and technology that fall from the sky.If the time-traveling society wants to be truly stabilized, it must wait for the first and second-generation elite aborigines to graduate from school and become the backbone of society. The hypocrisy of the two factions that rose up became reality.

By that time, the middle class and the wealthy class have also grown up, the elites will finally have a class that can be represented, and everyone can finally happily fight in Parliament.

However, it is now 1628, and the above assumptions are still far away: the authority of Emperor Cao, in this era, even if the superhuman bonus brought by the ring is not included, it is far from what the so-called emperors of later generations can compare.

……

In fact, the mascot king of later generations is not as powerless as imagined... The key is whether you want to do it or not.

The reason why the British old lady is only used as a mascot is because she is really old and has no energy.

However, Comrade Zha Sledgehammer is different.

During the long standby career of actually "supervising the country" for decades, the energetic old prince Comrade Sledgehammer participated in the formulation and implementation of all aspects of the government's policies. From 2004 to 2005, Cha Sledgehammer only wrote to the Labor Party There were as many as 27 private letters from the government.

These letters to then Prime Minister Blair and ministers of various government departments covered a wide range of fields, including military affairs, agriculture, environmental protection, herbal medicine, and student diet; Discuss whether it is suspected of breaking away from political neutrality and interfering in government official affairs.

However, it is useless to argue - the king... the old prince has the energy and willingness to take part in politics, and if he does, he will do it, and no one can do anything to him.

...Even such a mature social system in later generations cannot prevent a mascot from dictating government work, let alone a high official in 1628, and Emperor Cao is in full swing?

Therefore, Bai Hongda and his gang were also walking a tightrope: even if Emperor Cao didn't get mad, even if he just hated him, the consequences would not be something they could afford.

Now that they finally received the news that the emperor had come out of the cave, to be honest, those who played with fire were actually relieved—if old thief Xia really had to delay for another three to five days, they might have knelt down.

……

Early the next morning, the imperial city, a small conference room.

Xia Xianze, who looked much better, was sitting at the top and listening to a group of party members yelling.

At this point in time, the people who can sit in this small meeting room, needless to say, are all Conservative Party leaders and future cabinet members.

Wang Liguo, the Minister of Finance, Cai Feiming, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Feng Jun, the Minister of the Interior, are all in the meeting room at the moment, each with a relaxed expression, discussing how to completely fight the rebels so that they will never stand up again.

"Okay, don't dream anymore, Mr. Cao is invited to solve the problem, not to be a thug for you."

After listening for a while, Xia Xianze found that this group of people could not come up with any constructive suggestions, so he knocked on the table: "It's still the same sentence, pay attention to maintaining a balance! Those people are already a minority party, and they were about to go dormant. Yes, what's the point of stepping on those extra feet? It's consuming our own political resources."

"Besides." Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Xia Xianze said solemnly: "Since we can get the lining today, then don't argue about some face-saving matters, and let them get something."

Having said that, he raised his hand to look at his watch, and then stood up: "The time is coming, remember, such insignificant issues as the name of the country, just let them go. Even if it is called the Xiang Empire? Anyway, after a few years They also want to be in power, and Bai Hongda is not disgusting, so what are we afraid of?"

...The party sticks then followed Xia Xianze, discussing in low voices while climbing up to the third floor and entering the Jianyuan Hall collectively.

The atmosphere in the palace was not very good at the moment: several imperial men, headed by Bai Hongda and Wei Hu, were already sitting on the row of chairs on the right at this moment, posing a pattern of civil and military performances.

Seeing the disgruntled imperial men, the royalist party members naturally would not be polite, and sat proudly facing them—the front feet were just touching the chair, and the back feet were like "You still have the courage to come, The crime of deceiving the emperor is to beheaded!" Such words have been thrown away.

The emperors were experienced in many battles, and they usually rely on their mouths to mess around. How could they be frightened by this kind of tone... So the familiar daily spats began to be staged in the hall again.

Fortunately, today is a special day: Before everyone can say a few words, the screened door behind the throne opens, and the next moment, Cao Chuan, wearing a tracksuit, comes out from behind the door.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Stretching out his arms and pressing down, while gesturing to everyone not to get up, Cao Chuan sat on the dragon chair.

First he nodded to Xia Xianze, who was the first on the left, then Cao Chuan turned his face away with a smile, and said to Bai Hongda, who was the first on the right: "I heard that you have a lot of opinions recently? How long are you going to delay?"

...Although they had already made sufficient mental preparations, Bai Hongda and Wei Hu, who were sitting beside him, were indeed panicked at this moment: Cao Chuan's unabashed attitude of questioning guilt undoubtedly brought them huge stress.

"It is mainly due to some technical differences between the two parties. Most of the content has reached a consensus. We have no intention of delaying..."

"That's enough." Before Bai Hongda could finish speaking, Cao Chuan directly interrupted his speech: "It's already today, let's stop talking nonsense."

When Cao Chuan said this, he took out his mobile phone and opened the memo: "The first item, the name of the country, how many candidates does your minority party have?"

Chapter 306 Organization ([-])

Generally speaking, every Chinese New Year, the elders have to pay for the lucky money for the children.This principle is also applicable to the ancient emperors: every time there is a great sacrifice in the court, the emperor always sends a wave of red envelopes to his courtiers, soldiers and civilians after these rituals of praying for heaven and earth.

In this process, the soldiers and petty officials at the bottom will get some money, cloth and cold meat.Naturally, the high-level bosses don't like this, what they care about is Enmeng: the descendants will get the quota of officials.

Although this wave of red envelopes is said to be issued by the emperor in name, it is actually spent on money from the treasury.Even Enmeng's quota and grades have their own fixed numbers and rules; the emperor can make private adjustments in a small range, but the overall situation cannot be changed.

This situation usually culminates in the ascension of the new emperor.Whether it is the founding emperor or the new emperor of the descendant ascending the throne, there will be a "big banquet" and "big rewards".

This kind of award is quite valuable: the heirloom title of the Xungui Group was born in this way.Whenever a new emperor comes to power, there will always be a group of upstarts, powerful eunuchs and relatives gaining power...the emperor and the courtiers.

Of course, it is still the state treasury that bleeds a lot out of the above political resources and the supporting large rewards and expenditures.

In fact, the amount of money allocated by the Ministry of Households to the emperor to support his family is limited each year. In the early and middle stages of a stable dynasty structure, it was difficult for the emperor to extort unreasonable funds from the civil service group for private consumption.

There is a proper term here: internal money silver.

Domestic money is private money.While enjoying part of the treasury's finances, the emperor also relied on means such as imperial merchants, imperial villages, tributes, and usury to make extra money.In the Qing Dynasty, the emperor set up 886 Huangzhuang in Northeast China and North China alone, which were managed by the Accounting Department of the Internal Government.

The sum of the above incomes is the source of private funds for the emperor to support his family, pay salaries to eunuchs and concubines, reward his ministers with personal gifts, and buy curiosities for the court.

Well, since it is private money, there is never too much of it—the emperors of all dynasties, in order to have more money for themselves, also fought a lot of battles with the civil official group and tore a lot of force.

Among them, some emperors succeeded, such as Song Huizong; there were also those who were fooled by civil officials. When the country was destroyed, the houses of nobles and civil officials were full of silver, but the emperor was poor... Yes, it is the Chongzhen brother.

There are also some emperors who are shameless.In the late Ming Wanli Dynasty, more than 20 years before the arrival of the time-travelers, in order to enrich the internal treasury, the Wanli Emperor, who hid in the harem for many years without going to work, even sent a large number of mine supervisors and tax envoys to various places to collect money, which led to one after another tax resistance riots across the country.

However, except for the late dynasty and some strange emperors who are prone to extreme situations, throughout history, most of the time, the emperors had a stable amount of internal money; To put money out.

……

Things come back to the time-traveling crowd.

All the materials that Cao Chuan transported to the new plane before this were actually "public property".These materials are listed on the public account: Cao Chuan, the major shareholder, invests in first, and then the small shareholders who actually preside over the work distribute the materials as needed to build the country.

However, it is different now: since the royal family has been produced in the structure, there must be internal money.Public and private must be distinguished, otherwise, it would be even more terrifying for the emperor to use the treasury as his own purse.Therefore, the government will definitely allocate a sum of money every year in the future. It is said that the British Ministry of Finance also has a "monarch grant".

Note that the internal money mentioned here refers to the materials that Emperor Cao brought from later generations that could not be manufactured by the "living years" of the people.As for Daming's local industrial products and gold and silver treasures—these things in the bag are worthless in the eyes of the first generation of time travelers. Everyone can go back and discuss the distribution ratio with the emperor, and no one cares.

Therefore, the current situation is quite special: because the emperor is more powerful, he can theoretically keep all the goods shipped in the future as his own, and leave it to his stupid son as domestic money.

For example, the golden Rolls-Royce Phantom parked downstairs—someone spent two "treasure boxes" to transport the parts a few days ago, and now it has been assembled, just for the fashion of his enthronement.

...So the new "shadow government" that has not yet been formally established is now a headache: Xia Lao Zhongtang not only has to do everything possible to fight against the emperors, but also is responsible for negotiating with Emperor Cao, trying to get back most of the money from the other party. "Imported materials" distribution share.
