Chapter 358: Checks and balances of power

"The king and the ministers are divided between the three powers. In fact, the powers are mutually checked and balanced. If we want to control the newly occupied places, we must take some new measures." Shangwen explained. Shangwen and Qin Wanggang walked out of Yingyu's yard. There was a fierce question and answer between the monarch and his subjects.

"Yeah." King Qin was still not moved. Every time I encounter some new policy measures. Shangwen has to go through some stages. Rather than just let it go. Especially when it comes to the core issue of power. King Qin is always very sensitive.

"Our traffic communication time has not been shortened within one day. And even so. The deployment time of the army is also very troublesome. There are also officials who transfer and manage. Wait, all of this needs us to raise. And all of this we want It's impossible to finish it in a short time. It can't be done." Shang Wen said.

"Why?" King Qin asked.

"Our financial situation does not allow this. Although we have issued two years of war bonds. But. If these people cannot see the benefits of the war. Or the benefits of the war. Then the credibility of our government will decline across the board. The people will be disappointed in the government. In terms of local affairs, if we insist on controlling it, we can achieve the effect of controlling new land. Or immigration and other issues. We will not be able to implement it. We must make some adjustments, especially the adjustment of local power. "Shang Wen said.

King Qin shook his head. Obviously, I still don't understand the truth. This is no wonder. The concentration of power is the habitual thinking of King Qin. Shang Wen did the opposite. It is decentralized checks and balances. There is a big difference in thinking between the two. This requires Shangwen to grasp the only link between the two. On the control of the new territory.

"It can be said. The issue of newly occupied land. Only this method can be adopted. Only this method can be effective and control these new places in a short time."

"My lord, these new places were originally gathering places for nomads. This is the basis for their survival. Now Da Qin sent troops to drive them away. But can they see this place being occupied by Da Qin like this? , Impossible, this place is now a vacuum zone." Shang Wen explained.

"Vacuum?" King Qin asked puzzledly.

"It's a place where there is nothing. The original people in these newly occupied places were driven away by us. Our people have not entered. This place has become no man's land. And other ethnic minorities will certainly not look at a large area. If the land is idle, they will enter. They will survive in the place we have laid. They pose a great threat to the security of our periphery." Shang Wen said.

"Widows are never allowed. These dogs robbed my Daqin land." King Qin was immediately angered. Because a similar incident has happened before.

"Yeah, isn't that the case with the previous Yueshi? They just took advantage of the gap between my Daqin's failure to immigrate in time. This was a large-scale invasion. Since there is Yueshi, it is difficult to guarantee that there are a few other tribes who don't think so. The Huns, Hu people. Yueshi. It’s possible. There are even some unknown tribes. If this is the case, my Daqin war will not be over. Bonds can only be issued a few times. If it can’t be cashed out in time, then I Daqin. The financial situation of the country will collapse completely.” Shang Wen said.

King Qin frowned at this moment.

"Sir, please advise." King Qin said respectfully.

"The minister dare not. The minister is just a guide. The king. In this world, not just a decree can solve all problems. Hidden behind it is a word of profit. The reason why Da Qin was able to prosper. It was the merchants back then. This benefit is brought out. But my Daqin attaches great importance to it. Guandong does not disdain it. Actually, they also rely on the benefit to govern the country. This is also the case for immigrants. The focus is on one benefit. Benefits manifest themselves in various forms." Shang Wen said.

King Qin nodded. Agree.

"Then why should Xindi use such a method?" King Qin asked.

"My lord, these places are not traditional agricultural areas. These areas have very few places where they can be planted. Most of them are nomadic forms. This form is destined to require a very wide space. This huge space is very difficult to control. Unlike our mainland. The output value of the land is very high. It is also very stable. The nomads must wander around. Once something happens, I am afraid that there is no time to mobilize the troops. It has already happened. Even the garrison may be difficult to control." Shang Wen said.

"In order to control these places, it is convenient to mobilize the military and horses. It is necessary to concentrate power. This state is the largest. The military and horses are prosperous. It is a huge threat to us from the inside. Once some people with unpredictable intentions gain power. This Both political power and military power. This has become a foreign trouble. Foreign trouble is 10%. Our country is in danger. Those new lands cannot be occupied for a long time. As a result, the people suffer. I also suffer from Daqin." Shangwen said.

King Qin was touched. King Qin also felt a headache. How to solve this problem Qin Wang thinks about the separation of powers mentioned by Shangwen.

"The separation of the three powers of ministers is a check and balance. The people elect members. The assembly is established. The common law is specified. This law is followed by everyone. The legal system is strong. And the power comes from the election of the parliament. There is also a time limit for the election of the governor. This way. The parliament has constraints on the power. With supervision. Although the governor has great power, he cannot arbitrarily govern. If there is a mistake, he can be impeached and stepped down by the parliament. And his time limit. Controlling its time can not be long. Long-term will be able to cultivate his party members. At the same time. In order to prevent the governor from using judicial means to attack the Parliament. The judiciary must be independent. It does not obey anyone. The governor is wrong to hold the governor accountable. The congressman is at fault. The congressman is held accountable. No one will be partial to each other. The three parties are also involved. This is a situation of checks and balances of power. In this way, legislators cannot issue legal documents against the power of the governor. And the governor cannot use his power to arbitrarily and unrestricted governance. The justice is fair to maintain this system. And even the fairness and stability of the entire society. ." Shang Wen said.

King Qin nodded his approval.

"After internal power checks and balances. This matter of military power is easy to say. The people are stable. The militia is stable. In order to protect their homes, they must fight hard. In order not to accept infringements. Sometimes we have to take the initiative. This move. We should do more. Encouragement. It’s not us who are infringed in this way. It’s the ethnic minorities. The military region system. It can also prevent excessive military power. King. You are the highest officer of the three armies. All armies must follow your command. You have the right to appoint the military region’s chief. Candidates. The commander of the military region has a time limit. The troops adopt a rotation mechanism but relatively control the time. It should not be too long. Long is easy to produce nepotism. Short, the mutual binding force is weak. The combat effectiveness is weak." Shang Wen said.
