The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 2145: Political framework

"A person's ambition is difficult to control. After all, he is thinking about one thing in his heart, and the prejudice that arises will naturally increase his arrogance." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"If you can't control these things well, then this person will be abnormal. Such a person makes some unimaginable actions, and it is understandable." Shang Wen said this sentence inexplicably.

"But this kind of behavior can cause great economic losses, and this risk is uncontrollable. If this is the case, we might as well not make this political investment, but if we don't make such an investment, we cannot be timely. Open the market of Chu State and let Chu State connect with the market scope dominated by Qin State." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Yeah." Shang Wen just nodded. Did not say anything.

"So, I think what we should do is let Chu State open up their market, no matter what kind of risk, we should try it. However, what we are looking for now is a way to balance personal ambitions." Yi said.

"A person's ambition can be balanced by other political systems." Shang Wen said.

"Yeah. This is the same as mine." Meng Yi nodded and said to Shang Wen.

"My thought is that Qin has great experience in parliament and democratic politics, why don't we think of ways on this, for example, to establish a parliament, and the parliament is divided into two." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"Go on." Shang Wen nodded. Shangwen knew that Meng Yi had thought of his idea. Shang Wen also thought of it. One's ambitions need another political system to balance what has been contained. In this way, this person's ambitions can be brought into play to a certain degree, rationally, and develop towards a balanced situation. This is what Qin State most hopes to see.

"This is the same as Zhao State. The Zhao State has two houses. The upper house is composed of Zhao’s nobles. The lower house comes from all walks of life, but the main one is the merchant class. In this case, we can copy Zhao’s experience in Chu The country has established two chambers, which have great legislative power. With such legislative power, the State of Chu can balance personal ambitions." Meng Yi said with a smile. Meng Yi thought that his idea was very good, so that he could balance the unstable factors that appeared in Chu State.

"I think the most important point here is that we can influence Chu's legislative power by influencing Chu's businessmen." Meng Yi said.

"Well, your idea is very good. I think it can. But, there is one thing, I think it is not enough." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"Not enough?" Meng Yi asked, looking at Shang Wen.

"Yes, it's not enough. It's not enough. Just a legislative power can't control the other party at all. I think there is also an executive power. We must maximize the power in the hands of the king of Chu, and the executive power is one of them. With good administrative power, this problem can be solved." Shang Wen said.

"In the State of Chu, we must ensure that the State of Chu can select a suitable administrator, just like our prime minister in the State of Qin, who can hold such a position. To ensure the interests of all classes. And this position will have a great deal. Administrative power, and the king of Chu does not have such administrative power." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"Yeah. I agree with this point. If necessary, we can also use the influence of businessmen to decide who Chu is in charge of the executive power." Meng Yi said.

"Yes." Nodded to Shangwen and said.

"What we want is such a balance." Shang Wen said.

"However, I think there should be another right to deprive the king of Chu, such as judicial power. In the process of law enforcement, the rights of law enforcers." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"This, I don't think the impact is too great." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"Rather than stripping off such rights, it is better to strip off the Chu king's military power. This is a great power." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"This power has a great influence, as long as there is military power. The king of Chu can still take back the powers of judiciary, executive, and legislative powers, and the upper and lower houses will become decorations. Such decorations are definitely not the result we hope to see." Meng Yi Speaking to Shangwen.

"Okay." Shang Wen thought for a while and said. In Shang Wen's view, judicial independence is exactly the basis of the theory of the separation of powers. But Meng Yi proposed military power. Compared with judicial power, this kind of thinking is more practical, because as long as the king of Chu continues to retain great military power, the possibility of military dictatorship will be great. Once a military dictatorship is formed, it will cause serious consequences. Executive power, judicial power, and legislation will be lost immediately, and military dictatorship has become the most important authority. This is definitely not what Shang Wen hopes to see. Therefore, after thinking about it, Shang Wen nodded to Meng Yi and agreed with Meng Yi's views.

"As for how to separate military power, I think that we should imitate the Qin State and set up a staff department and a military organization such as the Ministry of National Defense. The Ministry of National Defense has a certain degree of power to dispatch troops, and he can be responsible for the procurement of specific military equipment. The General Staff Responsible for the specific plan, the power of commanding the troops belongs to them. In this way, their power can be separated. As for the final dispatch of troops, I think it can be divided into three parts, the upper house, the lower house, and the king of Chu." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi To.

"If all three of them sign the documents, I think they can send troops to fight." Shang Wen said.

"Yeah." Meng Yi nodded.

"I think that if we design the political system this way, I don't know if Young Master Hou will accept these?" Meng Yi asked worriedly.

"He has to accept that if he wants to solve the problem of the King of Chu, he must do what we want. We must set up a complete political system for the people of Chu to accept. If they don't accept it, we won't have it. It's a way." Shang Wen said.

"If they don't accept it, I think we can stop the supply of large amounts of funds to support their political activities, commercial and economic activities." Meng Yi said.

"Yes. That's the only way." Shang Wen said.

"Okay. Let's think about what else we haven't noticed." Shangwen said at this time.

"Yeah." Meng Yi thought for a while.

"I think it should be gone for the time being," Meng Yi said.

"No, I feel that we are still missing something. Think about it again. I just have a feeling. This feeling makes me feel that something is missing, but I don't know what it is." Shang Wen said To.

"Well, isn't it?" Meng Yi asked.

"But I think we have done good enough. We have thought of many things. For example, the separation of military power and administrative power. Administrative power is set according to our Qin State standards. I think, This should be possible." Shang Wen said.

"Yeah. I think there should be a certain degree of citizenship." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"There are still a large number of slaves in the Chu country. These slaves are attached to the nobles in the Chu country. This, yes, I remember. This is the same as the situation in the Zhao country. The aristocracy in the Zhao country is very powerful, and they have Our own fief, land, and a large number of slaves, we must form and impact on them based on the foundation, and change everything." Shang Wen said.

"However, if we do this, we have to use gold to attack the aristocratic market of Zhao, like Zhao." Meng Yi said.

"No, that's not the case." Shang Wen said, shaking his head.

"We can only rely on the power of merchants to carry out, and how can these fiefs be broken through, we have no way. If we want to disintegrate the Chu State, the only way is to make this place smaller." Shang Wen thought. Want to talk about it.

"I think it can be said." Shang Wen thought for a while and said.

"We may have solved Chu’s high-level leadership, that is, how their central government solves this problem. However, what we have to solve now is their grassroots level, that is, their place. We have to maximize the local level. Solve local problems." Shang Wen said.

"However, I think that local problems are difficult to solve. It can be said that it is not easy to solve. After all, the local economy is unique, and we can't go deep into these places." Meng Yi thought about it.

"Yes, it seems that the local issue is still very early. If this continues, we may interfere too much, which will not be conducive to the further development of the other party." Shang Wen said.

"However, local issues must be resolved, and there are still many issues that coordinate with our development." Shangwen said.

"List this issue separately, tell the banks and let them pay attention." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi. Speaking of Meng Yi, he wrote it alone at the end of the report.

"Local problems are more economic problems. We just solved a political framework established by the central government of Chu State. The purpose of this framework is to prevent one's power from expanding further, and to decentralize this kind of power. His thinking spread.” Shang Wen said.

"Yeah. I agree with that." Meng Yi raised his head and said. Shang Wen smiled and then said.

"However, we cannot completely solve the local economic problems. At the same time, how to develop Chu State and how to make progress under the influence of Qin State Bank. This point has not yet been confirmed, because we need further development. It depends on the situation." Shang Wen said.

"The nobles of the Chu Kingdom, the fiefs of the nobles, the citizenship of the slaves, etc., have not been resolved. This may bury a lot of hidden dangers. How to solve these problems depends on how the investors of the commercial banks use commercial methods. It's handled. That's what the government can do." Shang Wen thought for a while and wanted to say. Meng Yi quickly recorded it.

"Incoming memo, give it to Wang last one." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.
