Liaodong
Royal Manor
"Investigate our Liaodong royal family? Hehe...the Langya Wang clan is so powerful!"

"The whole world was brought down by our Liaodong royal family helping his Yuan family. What happened to the population at the migration point?"

Wang Yi's grandson Wang Ba sneered.

Wang Ba is the No.18 descendant of the Wang family, and he became a descendant of the Wang family only by competing for the upper rank.

In order to prevent too many children in the family from causing insufficient resources, Wang Jue, Wang Yi, Wang Xiao, and Wang Kuan reformed the royal family council in these years.

According to the assessment standard in the tenth year of Marquis Yan (220 years), 500 family members passed the assessment, that is, with 500 people as the standard, in the future, the Wang family will always have only 500 parliamentary seats, which can only be less, not more .

Under such reforms, the Wang family meeting was also called the "500-member meeting."

This reform was also called "Wang Jue Reform" in later generations, and this system was also called "Parliamentary Hereditary System". After the first generation of parliamentary members hereditary.

Each family member has a parliamentary quota, which can be hereditary to the next generation.

For example, Lu Lingqi, she is now considered a member of the Wang family. She inherited Wang Jue's parliamentary seat, so she also has a seat, but her seat can only be hereditary to one descendant. If she has two daughters, then she can only choose One of the daughters will inherit the quota, and the other daughter will become an ordinary citizen of Taohuagang City.

Her daughter can only inherit this seat to one descendant. If there is no hereditary heir, the council will elect a citizen from among the citizens of Taohuagang to inherit the council seat.

Most of the citizens of Taohuagang are descendants of the Wang family who lost the competition. They were forced to lose their seats in the parliament and their status as descendants of the Wang family. However, as the continuation of the Wang family, they also have the opportunity to regain quota, and they can get free elementary education since they were young, and they have better innate conditions than ordinary people. Even if they don't have a family, they can rely on the advantages of free education to achieve better development, and they will not be poor.

These eliminated Wang's children are also the main source of security soldiers, sailors, and city managers.

Wang Ba has an older brother, a younger brother, an older sister, and a younger sister, all because his father has found too many lovers.

But fortunately, Wang Ba defeated his brothers and sisters in the competition for heirs over the years, and succeeded in inheriting his father's title, and his father's title was inherited from his grandfather Wang Yi.

His brothers and sisters were forced to become ordinary citizens, while he became a member of the Liaodong Wang clan.

The Wang family's method of competing for superiority is to ensure that the children of the family will always have vitality, and the waste corpses cannot be allowed to sit on a vegetarian diet.

After that, Wang Ba shined in suppressing the Goguryeo slave uprising, so he was elected as the family secretary last year.

He is favored by all Wang's children, and everyone thinks that he will be the most likely person to become Shang Shuling after Wang Xiao and Wang Kuan.

Wang Xiao and Wang Kuan are already too old. After the two old bones pass away, a new family Cheng will definitely be born among young people.

The specific content of the “Family Council Reform” is as follows:

[[-]. The number of members of the parliament is limited, and the members of the parliament are hereditary;

[-]. To further limit the power of the family head, the family head has no right to punish the members of the parliament;
[-]. Reform the "Jiacheng" system and establish the "Shangshuling-Shangshu" system;
[-]. Abolish the lifetime appointment and removal system and establish a tenure system;
[-]. Establish the "Censorship Order", members of the parliament can impeach the "Shangshuling-Shangshu" to the Yushiling, and the "Patriarch" can hold a meeting to dissolve the "Censorship Order";
[-]. Improve the division of military power. The patriarch has no right to mobilize the army. A meeting must be held. The specific combat plan can be submitted by anyone, but the family council will implement the details after the majority of the council agrees. 】

The above is not done at one time, but a small reform is carried out every time a new problem arises, and then accumulated over time, it eventually becomes a major change.

For example, Shangshuling and Shangshu appeared in the Wang family as early as 100 years ago. When there are fewer affairs, Jiacheng will cancel the Shangshu, and when there are too many things to handle, he will temporarily appoint a new Shangshu.

But gradually, as the affairs of the Wang family became more and more burdensome, it became difficult to rely on Jiacheng alone to handle them. Therefore, the Shangshuling and Shangshu, which were originally intermittent, existed for a long time, and until now they have simply become permanent.

All system changes are due to changes in reality, not someone's whimsy.

Hundreds of years ago, because the head of the family, Wang Changzhi, had no time to deal with housework, he imitated the Central Plains court and created a family official to replace the head of the family to handle family affairs. At the same time, because the family head was Song Qianru, an outsider, there was a family secretary to restrict Jiacheng, prevent Jiacheng with a foreign surname from messing around.

200 years ago, because the Wang family opened up a large number of territories overseas, many of the family's children had their own strength in overseas expansion, and the patriarch could no longer speak up, so the right to speak in the family continued to decrease.

This change happened because of reality, not what a certain patriarch or a certain family member wanted to happen, but it happened naturally in the process of social development.

For more than a hundred years, the family's overseas territories have expanded rapidly, and it is no longer possible to handle a large number of affairs only by relying on the family, so they imitated the Central Plains again and began to appoint temporary ministers.

In recent decades, due to the increase in overseas territories and the increase in annexed land in the Central Plains, there have been more family affairs than before, and the temporary appointment of Shang Shuling cannot handle a large number of affairs, so the temporarily appointed positions are simply permanent. normalization.

Now, because the new patriarch, Lu Lingqi, is a person with a foreign surname, in order to prevent people with a foreign surname from messing around, the family council has further restricted the power of the patriarch.

【Family Council】【Patriarch】【Family Minister】【Yushitai】【Shangshutai】

Among them, only [Shangshutai] is in charge of family affairs and is the only administrative agency, while the others are decision-making agencies, supervisory agencies, and power agencies.

【Shangshutai】

The highest person in charge: Shang Shuling
Subordinate Departments: Farming Book, Household Book, Agricultural Tax Book, Land Reclamation Book, Business Tax Book, Doctor Book, Artisan Book, Enlightenment Book Book, Market Book Book, Mine Book Book, Maritime Book Book, Sailing Book Book, Official Book Book, Traffic Book Book , Hunting Book, Guild Book, Currency Book, etc.

Yushitai is an institution specially responsible for supervising Shangshutai, and Shangshuling cannot appoint and remove officials at will.

For example [Shangshutai-Shangshuling] Before appointing and dismissing Xun Yu’s son Xun Yi to be the prefect of sugarcane, you need to submit Xun Yi’s appointment and dismissal information to [Yushitai]. Submit the appointment and removal information to [Family Secretary], and at least five of the nine [Family Ministers] can pass the appointment and dismissal information to the [Patriarch], after the [Patriarch] signs and seals, Xun Yi can officially take up the post of Sugarcane Prefect. If the [Patriarch] refuses to sign and seal, then [Shangshutai] needs to re-appoint and remove a new sugarcane prefect, and go through the process again. If the [Patriarch] cannot sign and stamp due to special reasons, only nine [Family Ministers] are needed. If all agree, Xun Yi can also be appointed as the prefect of sugarcane.

Not only the appointment and removal must be reviewed by [Yushitai], approved by [Family Minister], signed and stamped by [Patriarch], but ordinary promotions and transfers also have to go through such procedures.
