Everyone said together: "Please speak to General Office Zhou, and we will definitely help."
General Manager Zhou smiled and said: "That's good.
According to His Majesty the Emperor's design, Luzon's governance structure consists of two parts.
One is the Luzon Temporary Office led by Yang Shilang, which will later become the Luzon Governor's Palace.
The other is the two houses, one is the upper house composed of Chinese people, and the other is the lower house composed of local people.”
Although everyone didn't understand, they couldn't interrupt Mr.
Zhou's words, and there was some confusion on their faces.
General Manager Zhou smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, everyone.
His Majesty the Emperor is born wise, and his design must be the best.
Please listen to me slowly."
"The Governor's Mansion manages various civil affairs and people's livelihood.
This is easy for everyone to understand.
So what does the Senate do?
His Majesty the Emperor has a good saying: The Senate is the house where political affairs are discussed.
The Upper House can formulate laws suitable for Luzon.
The House of Commons can also make recommendations to enact or amend laws.”
"The Upper House is composed of one hundred people elected by the Chinese in Luzon.
The Lower House is elected according to Luzon's administrative divisions and population, and is also composed of a total of about one hundred people.
The Lower House makes recommendations, but the law must be half of the Upper House.
Only when the above-mentioned members agree can it be enacted and become a law.”
"As for the trial of the case, it is not the responsibility of the Governor's Office.
The imperial court will specially appoint judges to handle it.
Smart young people will also be selected from the local area to be trained as judges in the mainland.
The ratio of Chinese to locals is six to four.
Judges It is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Governor-General and has the power to judge illegal acts of the Governor-General and the Parliament.”
As soon as General Manager Zhou finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.
Most people here are in business and still have money, but Chinese identity was not popular in the past.
Now that I heard that I can be elected as a member of the parliament, I naturally flocked to it, thinking that with an official status, no matter what I do, I will be much stronger.
Immediately someone asked: "General Manager Zhou, how can I be elected as a member of the parliament?"
General Manager Zhou smiled and said: "Everyone who can find a hundred signatures from Chinese adult men can participate in our election.
One month later we will hold an election in the square in front of the Government House.
The person with the highest number of votes will be our superior."
Member of the House of Representatives.”
Someone else asked: "General Manager Zhou, after being elected, can my son inherit this council member?"
General Manager Zhou said: "By the way, I forgot to mention this first.
Each member has a four-year term and will be re-elected after four years.
Therefore, only fifty members will be elected in the first election, and another fifty will be elected two years later.
The first fifty selected will be re-elected four years later.”
Not only were these people not disappointed when they heard that there were only fifty people, they were even more excited.
The smaller the number of people, the more powerful it is.
Everyone is excited and can’t wait to find someone to sign now.
In fact, there are many loopholes in this election method, but Zhu Youxiao himself doesn't know how to elect.
The so-called elections he saw in his previous life were just jokes.
But he believes that by slowly exploring, he can always gradually improve.
Now there is a prototype.

With the wisdom of the Chinese people, we will never let Westerners be more beautiful than before.
What's more, some systems in the West are not reliable in his opinion.
Zhu Youxiao wants to implement a democratic system.
He knows that democracy is the trend of the world and that alone will eventually fail.
He does not want his descendants to be hanged on the city wall by the mob, so he is now going to start trying to study the Ming Dynasty's democratic methods.
It was very dangerous to directly implement the democratic system in Ming Dynasty, and he knew this very well.
Therefore, he wanted to try it out in Luzon first to gain some experience, and then slowly implement it in the mainland.
Anyway, it will take a long time.
As long as he sets up the framework first, further improvements can be left to future generations.
What he planned to implement in Luzon was the system of separation of powers.
The political textbooks in his previous life were full of criticisms of the decadent capitalist system.
He believed that the system of separation of powers of capitalism was far inferior to the great system of the People's Congress.
But it did not describe the separation of powers system in detail.
So Zhu Youxiao actually didn't understand it.
He only knew that the legislative, judicial and administrative powers were separated.
As for how to decentralize power and how to cooperate, I only know a little bit about it when watching TV shows and American movies like House of Cards.
But this does not prevent him from wanting to transform the political system of Ming Dynasty into a capitalist system.
As for the socialist system, it is of course the best system in the world, but it is obviously impossible to achieve it in Ming Dynasty now. hehe The governor is currently appointed by the court.
In the future, the governor will slowly be elected by the local Chinese and approved by the court.
If the situation is good, it is not impossible to give local people some voting rights, but there is one thing that must be grasped, that is, the governor must be Chinese.
It is very important that the House of Lords has the final authority to judge the law.
He does not want the locals to have power.
Although it is not entirely correct to say that people who are not of my race will have different minds, at least in most cases it is still the case.
Correct.
One month later, the Luzon Governor-General's Palace of the Ming Dynasty was officially established, and Yang Jingchen was appointed as the first Governor of Luzon for a four-year term.
On the second day after the establishment of the Government House, the first election of the Luzon House of Lords was held in the square in front of the Government House.
The square is huge.
The Chinese in Luzon are mainly distributed in and around Manila.
On this day, most adult Chinese men came to the square and were divided into different squares according to their place of origin in the mainland.
Gui Suzhen, a Marine Corps officer, was responsible for maintaining order, while Dai Chunfeng led several people from the Military Investigation and Statistics Bureau to mingle with the crowd to understand the situation.
There is no one under the two Beijing and Thirteen Divisions in Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou.
There are still some people in North Zhili, Shandong, Huguang, and Jiangxi, but there are still some people in South Zhili, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian.
There are more people.
People from these five provinces account for more than 95% of the total.
There were approximately 20,000 Chinese men in the square.
The largest number of them are in Fujian and Zhejiang, accounting for more than half of the total.
Dai Chunfeng thought to himself that the Fujianese dialect was too difficult to learn.
It seemed that only by developing talents from Fujianese could the Military Investigation and Statistics Bureau's work in Luzon be carried out.
At this time, General Office Zhou came to a temporary high platform, picked up a copper trumpet and began to speak.
It's a pity that his voice is not loud and quiet, so it has no effect at all.
Guizhen saw that it was not a problem, so he called Chen Hongliang, the trumpeter of the Marine Corps, and said: "Go up and let General Manager Zhou speak, and then you repeat what he said."
Chen Hongliang ran up to talk to General Manager Zhou.
General Manager Zhou was overjoyed and handed the speaker to him, and then said: "Please be quiet, everyone
