Lord of Riders

Chapter 65



"What? The resounding horse surrounded ichemore?"

The speed of Xiangma\'s expansion greatly exceeded Shaoyu\'s expectation. Shaoyu was surprised to hear that Xiangma had surrounded aichmore.

"Did the intelligence over there mention the situation of resounding horses around the city?" Shaoyu asked

"They didn\'t mention it," Irene replied

"These loud horses have such strength. I\'ll go to ichemore myself."

Shao Yu said

Now it was lively. Five of the six countries on the continent of karadia were completely involved in the war, and the originally strong kujit Khanate was also involved in civil strife. However, it is strange that the Sultanate of saland seems to have no knowledge of it and looks on coldly.

"Are these resounding horses and chaotic troops supported by saland Sultanate?" Shaoyu couldn\'t help thinking

"Irene, do you want to have a fief?" Shaoyu suddenly asked Irene

"Fief!?" Irene was stunned

"You\'ve been following me for so long. Usually you\'ve been managing shulesburg, training the army and making great efforts in territory construction, so I decided to let you be the president of shulesburg," Shao Yu said to Irene

"President?" Irene was very happy to hear that Shao Yu was going to seal shulesburg to himself, but she felt very strange about the president

"Now that our strength is getting stronger and the situation on the mainland is chaotic, it is necessary for us to publicly declare independence," Shao Yu said

Irene listened without speaking

"It took me five days to formulate the national system. Our country is a federal state, I adopt democratic politics, and the president is the supreme ruler of each Federation."

Shaoyu and Elaine said

According to Shao Yu\'s plan, the State adopts a federal system. Each state has a president, who is directly appointed by the king. If there are no special circumstances, he will serve for life. The president has the military command of the territory and can implement military dictatorship without violating national laws during war, but the president is no longer a traditional subsidiary relationship with the people of the territory. The president has no right to execute the people of the territory without permission. The territory has an independent judicial department. At the same time, the diplomacy between the territory and other states is also decided by the president.

The political and economic issues of the territory shall be decided by the referendum of the territory\'s civil assembly. At the same time, the law enforcement officer of the law department shall be elected by the referendum. The term of office of the law enforcement officer shall be three years. However, if more than one third of the people are dissatisfied with the law enforcement officer, they can vote again and dismiss the law enforcement officer for re-election.

The citizens\' assembly is held once a year. When the citizens\' assembly is not in session, the territory will set up a ten member meeting to perform the functions of the citizens\' assembly.

However, in the rules formulated by Shao Yu, although each state has a certain degree of democracy, Shao Yu\'s rule over each state is a complete dictatorship.

Shaoyu told Irene about his plans for the Kingdom and territory, and Irene was stunned. What Shao Yu said Irene had never heard of before.

In kaladia, the Lord is the master of the territory and has absolute sovereignty over the territory and the people on the territory. Most things of the territory, including the life and death of the people on the territory, are decided by the Lord.

However, according to Shao Yu, although the so-called president still has a lot of power, it can be said that he has been cut by more than half compared with the Lord.

At the same time, Shao Yu also greatly strengthened the power of civilians

"I don\'t know why big brother made such rules, but with all due respect, big brother\'s rules are not feasible in our continent of karadia," Irene said directly to Shaoyu after hearing Shaoyu\'s plan

"Brother, this plan violates the rights of all the nobles in the continent and greatly reduces the status of the noble Lord. No Lord will support you. If brother insists on implementing it, although he may get the support of the civilians, he will stand against all the nobles." Irene is outspoken, which is not for Irene\'s own power, In fact, it is.

"Is there no precedent for democracy in this mainland?" Shao Yu asked in some frustration

"As far as I know, the kingdom of rodoc was once a democratically elected king."

"Brother is from other continents. I\'m afraid he doesn\'t know much about many things in our continent. The democracy of rodoc kingdom is only limited to the election of the king by the aristocracy. The power of the aristocratic Lord is not much different from that of other countries. Moreover, this election system has disappeared at any time since King grifos of rodoc Kingdom seized the throne by military power." Irene explained

Shao Yu listened and nodded silently. What Irene said was indeed reasonable, which made him think of another elder who passed through, Wang Mang, the reformist who cut off the big man with a knife. Do you really think things are too simple. Shao Yu reflected quietly. Originally, Shao Yu intended to win over the people and let more people take refuge in himself. Now it seems that it is unrealistic to implement democracy in the environment of karadia.

After all, this progress is a little larger.

"I know what adults think. It\'s just to give civilians some power to support us more. I have a proposal," said Irene

"Oh? What do you think? Tell me."

Shaoyu asked.

"The new residents of our territory can get rent free for one year and free food supply for one year, and the families of the dead soldiers and the territory take care of their families, which is not available in any territory," Irene first told Shaoyu.

"One year later, they still have to pay taxes and still have no privileges. Therefore, wouldn\'t it be better if they could be given some privileges under certain conditions?"

After listening to Irene, Shao Yu patted his head

"You\'re right. We can give them some privileges."

"For example, a soldier can give land according to his combat performance, those who perform well can give them titles, and people who pay more taxes can also get land or even titles," Shao Yu said

After Irene\'s reminder, Shao Yu thought of the system of the Qin Empire in the Warring States period, which rewarded military merit, distributed land property, ruled the country by law, and finally unified the six countries.

Soldiers who kill many enemies can get land gold and even titles. Therefore, Qin soldiers are brave and fearless. In their eyes, the head is not on the enemy\'s neck, but bright gold.

However, the soldiers of the Qin army also dare not escape on the battlefield. Not only do they bear the crime of deserting soldiers, but their families will be implicated.

Shao Yu decided to learn from the Qin army\'s practice of rewarding military merit, but Shao Yu still didn\'t recognize the Qin people\'s practice of severe punishment.

After a conversation with Elaine, Shaoyu finally gave up his original idea of implementing democracy. Still enfeoffed the LORD according to the tradition of the mainland

And Elaine will also become the first lord under Shaoyu
