Chapter 171: Is There a Choice?

Time passed slowly like this.

By evening, Zhang Gui finally finished several rounds of square speeches.

He put away the enthusiastic expression on his face, rubbed his eyebrows, and paced into the bedroom of the Guiyang Palace.

Behind him.

Song Wenhua and Sang Gui, who were the Left Azure Dragon and Right White Tiger of the True Dragon Kingdom court, and two rows of civil and military officials, followed closely behind the footsteps of the Emperor and the top boss.

Following step by step, they entered the bedroom respectfully.

With the rapid expansion of the country's size, the meaning of the grass-roots team faded rapidly.

Even if Zhang Gui didn't care, the etiquette of monarch and minister became more and more strict.

When he sat down on the couch, raised his feet, and was about to complain about his hardship.

He saw Song Wenhua and Sang Gui leading the civil and military officials, bowing very neatly, and saluting:

"The Great King's holy virtue is like the sun in our True Dragon Kingdom, benefiting all the people..."

Zhang Gui was stunned, and a fat, kind face of another small country 'Hao Ri' from his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but shiver,

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!

Good fellow, you want to let 'me come from the east, go to eat frozen vegetables,' that won't do.

Don't think I don't understand what you mean; my emperor of this grass-roots team has become pretentious, so you officials below can follow suit.

That won't do.

High salary to support honesty is fine, I have never forced officials to be how noble.

I can give enough money, and I will definitely not let everyone suffer, but 'power' must be kept a little.

It is absolutely not allowed to bully the old people."

"Your Majesty misunderstood.

We feel that now that the country has established several cities, a million people are just around the corner.

If you continue to mock yourself as a 'grass-roots team leader,' it will spread and make the citizens feel anxious.

Feeling that you, as the monarch, treat 'name and vessel' as cheap things."

"This point is indeed my recklessness, it is my fault, I admit it.

In the future, such jokes about 'grass-roots team' will never be mentioned again.

But you also don't play this game of 'sending to the altar' for me again.

You must know that a true god comes to the world, nothing is taboo, only fake ones will try their best to decorate and pretend to be solemn.

In addition, our country has indeed taken shape now, and the city is no longer one.

It is no longer appropriate to continue using the 'Kyoto Yamen' to exercise power instead of the central government.

Therefore, I intend to reorganize the power structure, and from now on, it will not be easily moved.

First of all, naturally, it is you, Song Gong, who will serve as the Prime Minister of the country, first rank, in charge of administration, adjusting yin and yang...

Then it is Old Sang Gui who will serve as the new institution, Speaker of the National Grand Council, also first rank.

In the future, the country's founding, deliberation of the central government's financial budget, impeachment of the Prime Minister... will all be your rights, and you will also serve as the head of the Martial Guard Department, True Dragon 'Jia' character first army thousand-man commander...

The third is the Heavenly Judgment Court, Decision Court, Wei Min Division that divides judicial power...

Among them, the Heavenly Judgment Court is the most special, the National Heavenly Judgment Court has the final interpretation right of the law...

The Supreme Judge has the right to judge whether the impeachment case of the Prime Minister proposed by the National Grand Council is established...

Finally, it is the National Heavenly Taxation Court that collects taxes, still responsible by Zhang Hehe, also first rank...

In this way, the highest power structure of the True Dragon Kingdom is formed...

One level lower, actually, the Ministry of Personnel that manages official appointment, assessment, promotion, and demotion...

Ministry of Revenue for land distribution and population registration...

Ministry of Finance for financial budget and official appropriation...

Ministry of Rites... Ministry of Works... Ministry of Agriculture for agricultural production, etc., don't need too many adjustments.

The troublesome thing is the change of local administrative units.

The five-level division of the Eastern Continent mainland court, province, commandery, county, town, and village is too bloated.

And our True Dragon Kingdom, even if we take the entire Giant Serpent Head Island in the future, is only the size of a small province of a mainland great country.

There is no need to make the local structure too cumbersome.

Therefore, I feel that it is best to divide it into three levels: 'Country, Province, County.'

Among them, the province in our True Dragon Kingdom is alienated into three capitals: Upper, Middle, and Lower, and the county is renamed City...

The streets and wards in the city and the towns and villages in the countryside are both part of the 'City,' and the grade is equal in the future...

Next is the most important drama, the basic administrative power structure that combines the voting of main officials and the imperial examination of auxiliary officials...

At the national level, wait until the Giant Serpent Head Island is completely conquered and the whole country is stable, once every four years... Prime Minister candidate...

For the conception of the future, it is naturally not suitable to implement it now, but it should be reflected in the Great Charter..."

Zhang Gui's words left everyone stunned and speechless for a long time.

Finally, Song Wenhua pondered for a long time and said with a hoarse voice:

"The regulations you created, Great King, are unique and good, very good, making people unable to find fault.

But people's hearts are easy to change, and there have been hundreds and thousands of techniques for fooling the people since ancient times.

How can you let the common people decide who should be an official..."

"Song Gong, I only ask you one thing, is it better to have a choice or not to have a choice?"

"That's not necessarily true, if someone plays tricks..."

"That's because the strict laws are not enough, not enough people are killed, and the dogs are not cruel enough.

Actually, it has nothing to do with whether it's better to have a choice or not to have a choice.

I only ask you, is it better to have a choice or not to have a choice..."

"If the person chosen is a hypocrite..."

"Is it inevitable that it will be a gentleman if it's not chosen?

So I ask you, is it better to have a choice or not to have a choice..."

After some discussion, Zhang Gui's conception was finally implemented.

Actually, in the True Dragon Kingdom on Giant Serpent Head Island, as long as he insisted, there was no conception that couldn't be implemented.

It's just that no one else could have other choices, the strange thing about the event is actually nothing more than this...

Three days later, the political reform of the True Dragon Kingdom was publicized to the people, and various decrees caused countless discussions.

At the same time, the True Dragon Emperor personally ordered the formation of the True Dragon 'Jia' character second army and 'Jia' character third army.

Personnel will be selected from citizens who have finished their service or are currently serving, and registration is voluntary.

As a result, the quota of two thousand professional soldiers was recruited in half a day, and finally, they had to compare training and select the best from the best.

Just because everyone knows that the 'Jia' character army is the essence of national force and will receive the grace of the Emperor, obtaining the ability to transform into a 'Stone Corpse Soldier.'

They might gain ten or twenty years of life out of thin air, and from then on, they will be free from all diseases and have a strong physique like a young man until they are old.

In addition, professional soldiers in the True Dragon Kingdom have generous salaries, high status, are respected, and have good prospects.

So what if they sell their lives for this?

In this way, in just five days, the 'Jia' character army thousand-man unit of the True Dragon Kingdom expanded from one unit of more than a thousand people to three units of three thousand people.

Originally, according to Zhang Gui's plan, after the expansion of the army, they should have had their first small trial.

Take down a town with a port nearby, take the initiative to appear, and let the outside world know of the existence of the True Dragon Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, Prince Zhen's 'Traveling Court' was so impatient.

The second batch of 'new army,' the longest of which had only been eating corn buns with pickles and training for seventy or eighty days.

Some even less than twenty days, were gathered again and invaded Xianrong Island.
