Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 12 Government Structure
"Since your lord believes that the Western Continent has strengths and advantages worthy of our study, and your lord has also studied in the Western Continent, can you introduce to us the current development pattern of the Western Continent and the reason why they have been able to develop in the past hundred years? What is the secret of the sudden rise?" Su Qin is obviously more concerned about the reality. He has traveled to the countries of the Eastern Continent, but he has not been able to visit the Western Continent. This has always been something he regrets, so in recent years In the future, he is also working hard to collect intelligence data from countries in the Western Continent, hoping to find a path suitable for the development of the Northwest while dealing with each other.
"The structure of the Western Continent is quite different from that of our Central Continent. In addition to the nomads in the north, the Hansen Alliance and the Famini Empire are the two most powerful forces, while the Augsburg Empire and the Kingdom of Barozi are in the middle. , with the Hansen Alliance and the Famini Empire, especially the Augsburg Empire and the Famini Empire, which are more contending for hegemony. Some small principalities and city-states are dominated by city-states in the central and southern regions. The Babylonian Federation is the most powerful force. It is composed of more than ten city-states. Join forces to fight against the Babylonian Federation, and the east coast of the Babylon Sea is dominated by the Aladdin people. The Aladdin giant ship they built is said to be able to carry more than 300 people, which has already caught up with the shipbuilding technology of our eastern continent. And the westernmost There is also a huge island country on the Ocean of Storms—the Kingdom of Leeds, which has particularly developed shipping and controls most of the sea power on the Ocean of Storms.”
"Generally speaking, the Western Continent is a situation where various countries compete for hegemony. No one can dominate, and their strengths are quite close. It is difficult to win an overwhelming victory in any one-on-one war. Once a war breaks out, it will There are countless countries and forces involved, so a delicate but short-lived balance has been maintained. There is also a special situation in the Western Continent that is different from our Eastern Continent, that is, people in the Western Continent believe in religion, and the Church of the Holy Spirit is Among them, the most important religion, more than 90% of the people in the Western Continent believe in this religion, but the Holy Spirit is divided into three major sects, the original sect is dominated by the western and northern coastal countries of the Babylon Sea and the Famini Empire. The new sect headed by the Augsburg Empire and the Kingdom of Leeds, and the Raff sect to which the Hansen League belongs. In addition to conflicts of interests that often lead to wars, religious disputes are often an important factor that triggers wars." Wufeng explained what he knew Briefly introduce the situation.
"I can't explain the secret of the sudden rise of the Western Continent, but I feel that there are several factors that have played a big role. The first is that religious belief has gradually improved the education system and generally improved the quality of the population; the second is that Mercantilism prevailed in the Western Continent for a while, and all countries in the Western Continent encouraged industry and commerce, and even used administrative means to intervene to promote the development of industry and commerce. The most important means of transportation and communication, almost every country and city-state is building new ports and wharves, such a huge mobile industry brings wealth flow and allows more people to invest in this industry; the fourth is the most The important point is that all countries in the Western Continent encourage adventure and enterprising, and encourage young people to go out and discover new wealth, new lands and new things. There are rumors that in the south of the Babylon Sea, some sailors have already discovered a large piece of land after being lost. I don’t know what happened. Whether it is a new continent or a large island, but in short, the discovery of a new land has attracted great attention from the countries of the Western Continent. In contrast, our Eastern Continent does not seem to pay much attention to this aspect. Perhaps these points can be counted as theirs. It must be part of the mystery of its rapid rise.” Wufeng also couldn’t explain why the Western Continent developed so fast in the past hundred years, and almost suddenly entered the civilized age from the age of ignorance, so he could only be vague It can be explained from some superficial phenomena.
Of course, there is one most important thing he didn't say, which is that the most active and powerful countries in the Western Continent seem to be generally different from the Eastern Continent in terms of regime structure, that is, the political system. There is a huge difference in thinking, and Wufeng can't be sure that what is passable in the Western Continent can be accepted by the people of the Eastern Continent. This needs to be gradually explored and adapted, and needs to be proved by practice.
"Does your lord mean that we in the Northwest and Kansai should also follow the policies adopted by some countries in the Western Continent to transform the Northwest and Kansai?" Su Qin asked in a deep voice.
"No, I don't quite agree with this point of view. There are many places in the Western Continent that we can learn from, but we can only learn from them and not copy them all. Our country and nation have their own unique traditions, history and culture, so everything new Everything must be organically combined with our own characteristics, this is my opinion." Wufeng said decisively, "So we need to understand and master the development of all aspects of the Western Continent. I have arranged for my old classmates from my study tour to help I am doing this work, and I hope that he will not forget what I entrusted to him when he is able to enjoy himself in the Western Continent.”
The four of them had a heated discussion around several issues, the status quo of the Northwest and Kansai, the characteristics of the countries in the Western Continent, the development and changes of the internal situation of the empire, and the movements of the surrounding forces. At this time, there is no distinction between master and servant. , and there is no restriction of superiority and inferiority, each of them spoke freely on the issues they cared about, until the red sun was sinking, and the four of them were hungry, only then did they realize that it was already past dinner time. But the four of them, including Wufeng, still felt that they were not finished, so they simply ordered the servants to bring the food into the room, and continued the unfinished topic while eating.
The government affairs of Kansai were also brought up after the meal of the four people. Although the situation of the six Kansai prefectures seems to be relatively stable at present, if they want to build Kansai into a base area for taking control of the Central Plains, especially From the waist and abdomen that communicates the east, west, north and south, it needs a good plan.
Wufeng has been thinking about whether his current political structure needs to be readjusted. Although the Northwest Administration Bureau is only in charge of the six Northwest prefectures and Northern Luzon in name, in fact, the important government affairs of the countries in the Western Regions also need to be submitted to the administration. However, the Mott Autonomous Dominion and the Tubu Autonomous Dominion on the Tengger Grassland, as well as many government affairs in the actual occupied area of Luobei, whose status is still unknown, also need to report to the Northwest Administrative Bureau. The Northwest Administrative Bureau has actually taken on a small The role of the cabinet government, and now Lulong and Lu in Beiyuan, and Anyuan and Tianshui in Heshuo, which will be included sooner or later, are actually under the control of the Northwest Administrative Bureau. In fact, the Northwest Administrative Bureau has greatly surpassed its name. With the authority above, the area under its jurisdiction is already equivalent to more than three counties in the empire, which has overwhelmed Xiao Tang's work.
And now the addition of Kansai puts the Northwest Administrative Bureau in an even more awkward position. If the six prefectures of Kansai are also under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Administrative Bureau, this is very different from the situation in Northern Luzon. Not only is it inconsistent in name, but also the area is too large, the population is large, and its complexity is far greater than that of the original Northwest. In the area under the jurisdiction of the Administration Department, the Northwest Administration Department has some difficulties in operating both in name and in reality. Is it time to readjust the management organization?
After Wufeng raised this question, it also attracted the attention of Xiao Suwang and the three of them. How should Guanxi County be managed? Should it continue to be managed by the Northwest Administrative Office, or should it be established as a separate Jiedu envoy? ? Is the Jiedu Mission just a nominal command organization like the North Luzon Governor's Mansion, or is it set up as a Jiedu Mission that actually functions? If the Jiedushi Mansion is set up in Kansai, which side should manage the adjacent Lulong, Pinglu, Tianshui and Anyuan Mansions behind? Do the policy guidelines for the entire Kansai Six Prefectures also continue the policies adopted in Northwest and Northern Luzon? Need to make some adjustments? How to adjust? This series of questions made the four of them feel that the problem was difficult.
Looking at the three people with red eye circles but full of energy, Wufeng felt that he was too naive to come up with a solution to the Kansai problem overnight~IndoMTL.com~Three People had a serious confrontation on the first issue, and even involved the current regime structure in the Northwest. Whether the Northwest Military and Political Governor's Mansion was still necessary became the focus of debate between Su Qin and Xiao Tang.
Su Qin tended to abolish the substantive management rights of the Northwest Military and Political Mission Office, including the North Luzon Governor's Mansion, as well as the management power of the Western Regions Administration. Establish a unified management organization on the basis of all areas under Wufeng's current jurisdiction. All prefectures, countries (Western Regions), and ethnic autonomous territories are directly managed by this organization. This will not only reduce the intermediate management levels, improve work efficiency, but also reduce redundant staff. , to reduce administrative expenditures, and at the same time prevent the emergence of factional forces divided by regions among government officials. However, Xiao Tang did not agree with this plan. He even supported the division of Wufeng's jurisdiction into several large areas. Based on the county-level area, the six prefectures in the Northwest, the six prefectures in Kansai, the five countries in the Western Regions, the Tengger Grassland area, and the Northern Plains The three prefectures (including the uncontrolled Anyuan) plus Tianshui Prefecture and Northern Luzon are part of them, and each has established an administrative agency to implement management. On top of this level of management structure, an additional government affairs department is responsible for guiding the six counties. Government Work.
On the other hand, Wang Zongxi took a compromise attitude towards the opinions of the two. He advocated the implementation of the opinions of Su and Qin in the areas within the territory of the original empire and Northern Lusong, and the establishment of a unified management organization to directly govern the Northwest, Kansai, Beiyuan, and Heshuo And Northern Luzon has a total of 18 provinces (including Anyuan), while the countries in the Western Regions retain the existing management structure due to special ethnic reasons and historical origins, and the Tengger region has a separate affairs management department set up by the unified management agency to guide and manage Grassland affairs, this can not only avoid the negative effects brought by multiple levels of government, but also take into account the actual situation in special regions.
