Chapter 304: Election rules

"In the past, the prime ministers in Daqin were appointed and removed by the guest or the king. Such appointments and removals are very random and very irregular. The abilities of these prime ministers vary in size. The people generally don't know them, and they don't know the policies they implement. Many. Now I should establish a system for the appointment and removal of the prime minister in Daqin to prevent such things from happening." Shang Wen glanced at Li Si and said.

"Go on." King Qin heard it earnestly.

"My prime minister's term of office has never been fixed. It is 20 years long and less than a year, and there are still six countries as the prime minister. His policies are inconsistent, and many things have been abolished at the beginning. This is a waste and a great waste of our national power. The minister believes that Qin’s prime minister should be elected by the election. The votes are among the people. The people elect a representative at the ratio of one to thirty thousand. The candidates are nominated to participate in the election. The last two candidates will be elected first, and then the last two candidates will launch campaign lobbying to explain their political positions and views. The final vote is voted by voters. The prime minister's term is four years. He can only serve two consecutive terms. The policy is passed. The bill is established. The period ranges from one to twenty years. It will naturally be abolished when it expires." Shang Wen said slowly.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"Are there any more?" King Qin asked.

"Yes. Successful prime ministers can nominate cabinet members themselves. Finally, the king approves them. These cabinets are ministers. These ministers also have a term of four years. They can resign due to fault or other reasons in the middle, and then be nominated again. The king’s approval. Then he took office. These members will retire automatically when they expire. The next prime minister will re-nominate." Shang Wen said.

"The advantage of this is that the main person in charge at the top is replaced, but the people below do not need to be replaced. It avoids a lot of personnel adjustments." Shang Wen said slowly.

"Vertical is unreasonable." Shang Wen had just finished speaking. Li Si immediately refuted it.

King Qin's idea is very simple. It is the power of the king to suppress the prime minister. The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials. Although the appointment power is in his hands. But the prime minister has many affairs under his jurisdiction. It is possible to challenge the kingship. now. According to Shangwen's formulation. The prime minister had only four years in office. It was only eight years since the re-election campaign was successful. Over the past eight years, the replacement of cabinet members has to be approved by the royal power. Moreover, the bottom person is still the bottom person. There is no such thing as the promotion of these people. In this way, one has to work honestly in his position. Instead of thinking of ways to cater to the above meaning. This idea. There are pros and cons. But obviously the benefits outweigh the system itself.

It is wrong to say that there is no promotion principle. At least in some grassroots units, there are still such appointments and removals. But overall. Within the national system. The promotion of officials will be completely blocked. That is to force its officials to shift to the direction of business. This avoids a huge bureaucracy. But can the bureaucratic problem be solved completely? Can't. Expansion of government functions. The official system will have to be expanded. This system can be expanded. There must be more or less bureaucratic problems. But the final measure is the efficiency and attitude of the government. At this point, the superiority of the election system is quite obvious.

"En." King Qin has figured this out.

"However, this system does not work now. Daqin is facing war. At this time, it is impossible to adopt this kind of national participation. Moreover, Daqin must have a prime minister for a day. Few people can see. This campaign can be used, but the scope should be controlled in Xianyang. . Now Xianyang give it a try. Then promote it.” Qin Wang said.

"My Wang Shengming." Shang Wen immediately agreed.

Li Si was obviously reluctant. Because if you hold an election, you will lose your position. I wanted to take this opportunity to get this guy down, but I didn't expect it. Instead, he was bitten. Now, it's hard to protect yourself.

"My lord, the minister thinks that this ballot should be controlled by the minister of the DPRK and China. The number of people should be reduced to one third." Li Si immediately proposed. Li Si's plan is to use half of the ministers of the DPRK and China as their own to control the number of votes and achieve the purpose of re-election. But the most important thing in an election is the number of votes. Such a small ninety-nine, when the rules were formulated at the beginning, don't veto it.

"Your Majesty, the minister has just said clearly that representatives are elected at a ratio of one to thirty thousand. These representatives represent public opinion. Public opinion cannot be violated. Public opinion should account for a large proportion. Officials can only count as one vote. And. Electors cannot use other extraordinary means to bribe and intimidate them. Once they are found to be disqualified, they must be held accountable." Shang Wen immediately fought back.

"Since the king is going to be elected in Xianyang, anyone who is 18 years old or older in Daqin can register to participate. Candidates can use propaganda to get votes, and they can also express their views through debates between candidates. After such a competition, public opinion is naturally clear. Natural selection is right." Shang Wen said.

"En.\" King Qin said nothing, just nodded.

"The voting time can be selected within three or seven days. It is too short, and many people don’t know. Too long, time does not allow, the minister believes that it should be informed. During this period, candidates will state their views. Then, three The field is facing the confrontation to make the final vote." Shang Wen said.

"Well, if you look at it, that's it. This time the ballots can be counted as long as Daqin men and women in Xianyang are in Xianyang. I will be informed one day, and three days of election debates will begin the day after tomorrow. Finally, I will be elected as the new prime minister of Daqin." King Qin ordered.

"My lord, is this candidate nominated?" Shang Wen meant that it was too early. The nomination of the candidates has not yet come out, so how come the final three days of election debates all of a sudden.

"Does this still need to be selected? Isn't all the things that Da Qin can choose for me right now? Just the two of you. That's it, let's step back." King Qin waved his hand.

"The minister retires." Shang Wen was secretly happy in his heart. How many presidential candidates have been seen. Dealing with a Li Si is not easy. Let you know the modern propaganda methods. Guaranteed to make you an eye-opener. Shang Wen was happy.

Li Si looked sad. I have to face those civilians. I don't know what this election is about. If you are confused, you will have to come to power. How to say it. The rules are still published, and Shangwen himself chooses. It is over without beginning. A person who understands election rules can't understand the rules in the middle.
