Lu Ming

Chapter 310 Organization ([-])

The location of the port building is the Dutch business house that was demolished before.Since merchant ships are not accepted here, the area of ​​the port building is not large, and it is in a refined style: a three-story red brick building with a large area of ​​glass, taking into account the functions of port affairs, a viewing restaurant and a fort.

When the convoy came to the gate of the building, it was already full of people.At this moment, most of the crossing people are already waiting in the building. In addition, there is a group of young soldiers in white navy uniforms waiting in line at the dock area.

The next moment, the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and Xia Xianze and the driver, the former captain of the Armed Police, "Minister of National Defense" Lu Sheng got out of the car.

The ceremony has officially started from now on: Of course Cao Chuan cannot "jump" out of the dragon chair to ascend the throne, there is a symbolic step of "leading the officials into the palace", so at 5 o'clock in the morning today, Cao Chuan had already Waiting on the third floor of the Harbor Building.

The moment Xia Xianze got off the car, the tweeter hanging on the corner of the building played the "Separate March" and "Unity and Friendship March". in the air.

Xia Zhongtang, who was also wearing a purple windbreaker with a ribbon on his chest, walked through the crowd and came to the third floor amidst the whispers of the surrounding melon-eating crowd.

At this moment, Cao Chuan was wearing a windbreaker with a more gorgeous style, but the color was bright yellow that met social expectations.He was sitting on the chair alone, and beside him were the people who traveled through the world like stars and moons.After seeing Lao Xia appearing, everyone stopped chatting.

Immediately Xia Xianze walked up to him and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, it's time to go."

"Then let's go." Cao Chuan laughed when he heard the words, then stood up, looked around at the excited faces of the time travelers around him, and after nodding, he took a historic step forward.

After going out, Cao Chuan didn't stop, and quickly got into the car.But Lu Sheng turned the car around slowly, and drove towards the imperial city on the same road behind a few horses.

At the same time, the cross-travelers of the brigade also lined up and followed behind the car.

Behind the purple line is the green and white line of soldiers.

The parade-like team walked towards the imperial city in such a mighty way. People chatted happily along the way, without the solemnity and grandness that a grand ceremony should have.

At the moment when a round of red sun jumped out of the horizon, 251 traversers had already gathered in the Jianyuan Hall on the top of the imperial city. At the same time, the echo of salutes sounded from the fort at the corner of the imperial city—108 rounds.

At this moment, there was no sound in Jianyuan Hall, more than 200 people stood neatly around, Emperor Cao was already sitting on the dragon chair, and there was a crown on the table in front of him-everyone was waiting for Xia Zhongtang on the stage to read "Persuade Jin surface".

If he followed the ancient traditions provided by the emperors, Xia Xianze would be ashamed today: he couldn't read well, and he couldn't understand.

In addition, the dicks in the audience, including Cao Chuan himself, also did not understand.

So what Xia Xianze finally read into the microphone was a succinct declaration of the superiority of the underworld big brother: With the unanimous consent of all the traversers. The constitutional monarchy jointly elected Cao Chuan as emperor. Who agrees and who opposes the enthronement today?
Seeing the sound of "approval" from the audience, Xia Xianze turned around and bowed to Cao Chuan who was sitting on the dragon chair, "Please crown the emperor." After Cao Chuan nodded, Chairman Luo, who was waiting by the side, stepped onto the stage .

Speaker Luo is Professor Luo, whose real name is Luo Lixian.According to the rule that "the speaker must be a person without party affiliation", he was finally elected as the speaker.

And he is also responsible for crowning Cao Chuan today.

After walking quickly onto the stage, Professor Luo first bowed slightly to the audience, then turned around and came in front of Cao Chuan, took the crown from Xia Xianze, picked it up with both hands neatly, and placed it gently on top of Cao Chuan's head.

At this time, Cao Chuan could only accept it silently - he was a little helpless.According to his personality, the whole Yishanguan would be done if he just fooled around, and Mianyan was too much.

However, he failed in this matter: people hope that the program can conform to the imagination, and then used in the coronation of later emperors.

The next moment, Licheng, the "officials" began to pay homage to the new monarch.

There is no such thing as three kneeling and nine prostrating, but there is three bowing and one kneeling. The more than 200 novices imitated the two on the stage and first bowed three times in a chaotic way, and then everyone moved down on one leg unevenly. Coupled with the insincere "Long live my emperor", the scene is chaotic and funny, like a third-rate crew in Hengdian.

Cao Chuan, who got up slowly, looked calm: It is obviously unreliable to expect these socialist old men with mobile phones to play feudal superstition; he is fully mentally prepared for today's situation.

But recklessness is recklessness, from the moment Cao Chuan got up wearing the crown, he has become the emperor of the empire in terms of law, which is true.

After getting up, Cao Chuan first said softly: "I announce that the empire will start today." When this sentence was broadcast by the microphone on the table, the "Golden Dragon Empire" established by the cross-travelers officially opened.

After the simple upper-level procedure, it is the popular official appointment and wishing link.

The first is to make a wish.Emperor Cao then publicly announced: I will rule the world with you.

This is an important promise: go through the governance of the country and the hereditary aristocrats, including the legal roots of dividing the cake in the future.So along with Cao Chuan's words, whistles, applause and roars of long live Mr. Cao sounded in the hall instantly.

After making this wish, Cao Chuan made another endorsement as the founding king: When everyone gets old in the future, he will preside over the distribution of the fruits of everyone's hard work—the mountains, rivers and mountains will belong to the country, and the enterprises will belong to the people across the country.

As for the imperial family, the imperial family does not need these.After a long period of time, the mighty transmigration families of today will always disappear in ruins, and the imperial family is the only family present that can live with the country, so the imperial family doesn't want anything, as long as the country's fortune is prosperous.

After making a wish, you will be appointed as an official.

Xia Xianze was the first to be called forward.

Seeing this old man with a blushing face and big ears approaching him, Cao Chuan couldn't help but recall the first line of conversation between them in Garbage Alley: "Don't go any further, if you want to pee, just stay where you are."

Things are impermanent, nothing more than this.

After calming down, Cao Chuan patted Lao Xia's shoulder across the table with a smile, and then stacked a copy of the Constitution on a large milky white suet jade seal, and added a short golden scepter , and handed everything over to Xia Xianze: "I now appoint you as the prime minister of the empire, and I will permanently entrust you with the administrative power, the power to appoint and dismiss officials, the power to pardon criminals, and the power of diplomacy."

After Xia Xianze took the prime minister's seal, which symbolized the authority of the government, he lowered his head and bowed: "I will die after doing my best!"

Next, Cao Chuan picked up a bright red chicken blood stone seal from the table: "I now appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, in charge of the empire's military power."

Xia Xianze bowed to receive the seal.

After the prime minister took office, Cao Chuan then appointed the speaker of the parliament, Luo Lixian, and presented him with the text of the constitution, a small golden hammer and an obsidian seal symbolizing the rights of the parliament.

It should be noted that in the current imperial structure, since there is an emperor who is exempt from all laws, there is no position of "Supreme Justice": the Minister of Justice who is also the President of the High Court is the highest position in the judiciary—this The position is a member of the cabinet, under the prime minister.

At this point, the affairs of the administrative system are considered complete: Xia Xianze will nominate the subsequent second-level officials and the council will decide.

The following is the closing time.

The 250 cross-travelers stepped forward one by one, and received from the emperor the edict ennobling them as viscounts and a blank Tianhuangshi jade pendant: they could engrave their family emblem on this jade pendant afterwards.

The protracted enfeoffment ceremony took too much time: after receiving the edict, everyone would bow and kneel once to express their submission.

After the whole ceremony was over, Cao Chuan finally emptied the piles of items in front of him, and now only his own things were left: seals, treasures, and seals used by the emperors.

The most important of these seals, and also the largest, is the Zhengyin Jade Seal. Before Fuzhou Station here, it mobilized troops to seal the "Shoushan Township" in the north of Fuzhou City, and extensively excavated near Shoushan Creek. The collected All the Tian Huangshi were transported back to the imperial city.

The jade seal placed on Cao Chuan's table today is carved from a top-grade topaz that is as big as a child's head.

After all the ceremonies are completed, the time has come to noon,

Finally relieved, the crossing crowd began to order the fort to release the second round of salute, and it was time to "feast the officials" in the Jianyuan Hall.

After the banquet, in the afternoon, after drinking a few sips of beer, the enthusiastic monarchs and ministers began to meet the aboriginal elites under their command. In fact, starting today, these aboriginal elites have been officially called "nationals".

The first citizen who was lucky enough to come to the Jianyuan Temple was naturally the first Zhou Tong Zhou Dazhai Lord in history who had dealt with Emperor Cao.

Zhou Tong came to Cao Chuan with his second brother Chen Huoding and third brother Chu Jianli.

After the two parties met, they were also filled with emotion: I remember the expressions of everyone's astonishment when they met in the mountains back then.But now things are different, and the three heads of Pingfengzhai have become the elites of the empire, heroes who have served the country.

While Cao Chuan was feeling emotional, he gave the three of them wine first, and then gold and silver.

The gold and silver here are not silver ingots, but "Cao Datou" silver dollars with a face value of one garden and the imperial banknotes that will be officially issued soon.

These sample coins were brought by Cao Chuan from later generations. The molds have been prepared and will be issued internally soon.

After rewarding wine, food and money, Cao Chuan awarded the title of "National Scholar" to the three of them, and specially promoted Chen Huoding to the rank of second lieutenant for his contribution to "beheading Zheng Zhihu".

The first group of native elites retreated after receiving the reward.The next person to meet is the representative of the "literati class": Jiang Shang.

This little beggar who was starved to death and rescued by the transversal crowd has now grown into a young man with a refined temperament.

When Jiang Shang came to the emperor and gracefully recited an ancient Chinese "Congratulatory Message", Cao Chuan couldn't help being overjoyed seeing the boy he had "given his name" to, and immediately awarded him the title of "National Scholar" and gave him money banknotes and a gold Marlboro pen.

After Jiang Shang, there is Comrade Nan Wang, code-named "Chemist", a former down-and-out scholar who represented the loyal literati class, and now an agent of the Intelligence Bureau.

Although Cao Chuan was not familiar with Nan Wang, he still had a good impression of this capable scholar in front of him.After that, it was the established procedure: rewarding food and drink, and conferring Nan Wang the title of "National Scholar" on the spot for his achievements in "killing bandits alone".

The fourth group had more people entrusted: the army and the navy each selected [-] elites to come to Jianyuan Hall.

Cao Chuan first conferred the banners of "Royal Navy" and "Royal Army" on Liu Zhe and Han Xiaobo respectively.

Next, he awarded Wei Yuan the banner of "First Battalion of Guards".

After that, it was the individual's turn—representing the soldiers of the army and the soldiers of the navy who came forward to express their loyalty respectively, were two elite young officers, Yang Er and Mao Wu.

Seeing these two young men, Cao Chuan couldn't help laughing.It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance: one is short, the other has a birthmark on his face, and these two people have made military exploits repeatedly and become youth representatives of their respective services.

Naturally, the emperor would not be stingy at this time. After the wine, meat, money, and national scholars were treated, he gave Yang Er the name "Yang Weili" for his contribution to "capturing the bandit leader Lin Shiwan alone".

Mao Wu did the same: Cao Chuanyu gave him the name "Mao Wujian".

The action of rewarding national elites from all walks of life continued until the time of lighting the lanterns.And when the lanterns first come on, when the emperor ascends the throne, the action of "celestial celebration" is naturally indispensable: fireworks transported from later generations are set off on the imperial city.

This action immediately alarmed the people of the entire Dayuan Island and the Chikan area—when did the aborigines see such beautiful large-scale fireworks?
As a result, the Chikan Avenue facing the Taijiang River was suddenly crowded with people who came out to watch the fireworks.People called friends, shouted, clapped their hands, and laughed. The male worker held the hand of the female worker, and all of them stared intently at the sky above the fairy palace-like imperial city in the distance, looking at the fluffy fireworks. It exploded, and the mouth kept exclamating, and the eyes were full of admiration and desire for a beautiful life.

However, what the people don't know is that when they were cheering and watching the fireworks, a certain monarch and minister standing on the imperial city who were also drinking beer and admiring the beautiful scenery was bleeding in his heart right now! Yes, every time the fireworks go up to the sky , Most people's hearts are bleeding.

You know, including the cost of enthroning horses, cars, gift bags, fireworks, rewards, various documents and keepsakes, etc., the crossing forces have used up at least four months of import quota.

That is to say, the "maneuvering quota" accumulated by the traversers before has disappeared with the emperor's ascension to the throne.

So from now on, at least in three to four months, all "high-tech" projects that travel through the society need to be stopped until enough motorized transportation credits are accumulated.

Therefore, whenever the fireworks go up to the sky, the hearts of the gentlemen are bleeding
At this point, the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Cao is completely over.

And with the completion of this simple, chaotic, and loopy ceremony, the giant ship of the New Empire also formally straightened out its internal relations and embarked on the journey of setting sail.

As for the details of the first half of the enthronement ceremony, it will become the top secret of the empire in the future: it is too sloppy, and the future ruler of the empire will be ashamed to reveal the truth.

Of course, the rough procedures are only limited to this generation of time-travelers.

In fact, it didn't take many years - only 150 years later, the grand occasion of Cao Chuan's great-granddaughter's coronation was broadcast live globally; 80% of the people in the empire witnessed the live broadcast, the complicated etiquette and procedures, and the grand ceremony. The scene, the majestic military parade, these are not what the traversers who are perfunctorily shouting slogans in the hall today could have expected.

In short, the emperor ascended the throne and the empire was established.
