But he quickly made up for it. "Gu is just here, let's listen to the arrangement of Governor Su and the two bachelors! If there is a need for Gu to come forward, Gu will do his part."

Chapter 48 Different Hearts

In the 45th year of the orthodox Spring Festival, Zhu Jianshen spent a hot new year in the Golden City.

The time here is three hours later than that of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zhanji delivered a New Year's speech to the people of Ming Dynasty all over the world at noon on New Year's Eve.

Whether it is Central Continent, East Continent, or Western Continent, as well as various overseas islands and colonies of Ming Dynasty, as long as there are conditions, they all heard Zhu Zhanji's speech in front of the radio and the loudspeaker for the first time.

In his speech, Zhu Zhanji emphasized the orthodoxy of the Ming royal family's rule over the world, explained the efforts made by the royal family to improve the living standards of the people, and made a clear plan for the development plan of the Ming Dynasty in the new year.

In addition, Zhu Zhanji also announced in this speech that the celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty will be held in the New Year next year, which is the 46th year of Orthodoxy.

At that time, the clans and nobles of the Ming Dynasty from all over the world will gather in Yingtian Mansion to congratulate the centennial celebration together.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he has been in power for 31 years, Zhu Yunqi has been in power for four years, Zhu Di has been in power for 20 years, and he has been in power for 45 years, which is exactly 100 years.

However, because the year of the founding of the country is counted as one year, it will not be the real 46th anniversary until the new year of [-].

Zhu Jianshen accompanied the soldiers of the Golden City and listened to Zhu Zhanji's speech in the barracks.

They got up before dawn, and tens of thousands of people gathered on the big square to listen to Zhu Zhanji's speech through dozens of loudspeakers.

Zhu Zhanji's speech lasted for half an hour, and when it ended, the sun just rose.

Tens of thousands of people cheered in unison. Although most of them had never met the emperor, they were still very excited to hear His Majesty greet them personally on the radio.

Especially at the beginning, Zhu Zhanji, like the leaders of later generations, extended cordial greetings to the soldiers from all over the Ming Dynasty, and also mentioned the soldiers from the Golden City.

This made everyone very excited. Although they were in Xizhou, thousands of miles away from Yingtian Mansion, they could still feel that their hearts were in Zhongzhou.

When Zhu Jianshen saw the scene in front of him, his heart was boiling.Although His Highness came in person, it seemed that it was not as good as His Majesty's greetings on the radio, but he was not jealous, only feeling proud.

"Master Peng, why do you think the emperor has such prestige? How does his prestige come from?"

Peng Shi pondered for a moment, and said affirmatively, "Your Highness, it's because of the system!"

Zhu Jianshen also pondered for a while, raised his head and said, "Yes, this is the power of the system!"

For a huge empire, what is the most important thing to maintain the rule?

Strong force?Qingming officials?Or a buoyant economy?advanced technology?

These four points are very important, but not the most important.

The most important thing should be a sound system, each in its own place, each performing its duties.Everyone from top to bottom can know where they are and what their role is.

An emperor, no matter how great his talents are, he is still a person.

His orders need to be carried out, his will needs to be realized, and his dignity needs to be maintained.

Only with such a complete and effective system can the country operate normally.

The ancients often said that it is easier to conquer the country than to stay in the country. In fact, it is because the ancients often did not understand the importance of this system.

They will only use the simplest management method, exert pressure from top to bottom, and use force to maintain their authority.

This model is very backward.

Individuals play a huge role in this system.Perhaps a wise monarch can lead the country to take off, but a stupid monarch can cause the country to perish.

Especially at the level of ministers, a powerful minister may deceive the upper and lower and undermine the stability of the entire system.

That's why they think it's easier to conquer the country than it is to stay in the country.

However, Zhu Zhanji is not a person of this era. He is very aware of the importance of the system, which is more important than force, government, economy, and technology.

A complete system can limit everyone's personal role, but also can play everyone's personal role.

Let everyone become a part of the system, form a force that cannot be resolved by individuals, and form an unstoppable trend.

The specialization of ministers is their basic ability, so that everyone can clearly know what they will do after becoming an official.

After the system is perfected, the power of officials can be restricted spontaneously, so that they can only play a role within the framework.

An eunuch can cut off the eyes and ears of the emperor, and control the princes by coercing the emperor.

A minister can replace the role of the emperor, and no one dares not to obey an order.

This is the flaw of the system.

In today's Ming Dynasty, the four powers are separated, administrative power, law enforcement power, legislative power, and military power are separated from each other. Even if you reach the peak within your own scope, you can't extend your power beyond the scope.

Just like today's prime minister, he only has the power to act, and has no legislative power, nor the power to enforce the law, let alone the power to lead the army.

At such a time, what a prime minister can do is limited.

Inside the system, his power was squeezed by the chief officials of various ministries, and outside, he was restricted by the parliament, the secretariat, and the emperor.

His power can only be manifested in civil affairs, and other affairs will be resisted by others once he reaches out, so his power can only be manifested within the scope allowed by the rules.

The same goes for everyone else.

Take Sunan, the governor of the Golden City, for example. Although his subordinates control [-] elite soldiers, his power can only be manifested within the scope of the Golden City.

As the military governor of the Golden City, he cannot intervene in the production or operation of the gold mine. If he reaches out, he will touch the power of the local government, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs that do not belong to the same system. was impeached.

In the past, a local governor could be said to be able to control everything, and everything should be controlled. This is the imperfection of the system.

Any power must be restricted. Absolute power will lead to absolute corruption, and more importantly, it will lead to an imbalance in the balance of the system.

Zhu Zhanji spent 40 years perfecting the management system of the entire Ming Dynasty. This is his greatest contribution.

Up to this time, the only power that has not been restricted is the imperial power.

Of course, he will not engage in a constitutional monarchy to limit his power. In today's era, it is not mature to implement a constitutional monarchy.

The so-called system refers to the country's politics and governance form, that is, the form in which the country's political system operates.

Different political systems are adapted to the national system. Under different historical conditions and different class power balances and other specific circumstances, rashly changing the system will only cause social turmoil.

Just like now, if Zhu Zhanji really restricts the imperial power, he will lack a decisive role. In order to compete for this power, various departments will only fight fiercely.

Is this a good thing?of course not!

Don't talk about democracy and equality, that's just a bait given by Western society to fool the people at the bottom.
