Chapter 346 Another day, everyone will benefit

After this battle, the House of Representatives faction has completely established a foothold in the capital. In the capital area and throughout the north, officials and scholars have been allowed to see what it means to be overwhelmed by strength and what it means to cover the sky with one hand.

The blood in Donghuamen was washed away by the sudden heavy rain.

Even the blood and mud between the cracks between the bricks were carried by the rain and flowed into the roadside gutters that extend in all directions in the capital, and into the dark ditches.

In the East Pavilion Hall, the blood of several rebels was wiped clean overnight, leaving no trace except for the faint smell of blood remaining in the air.

That night, there was thunder, and someone vaguely heard the emperor crying in the palace.

After that night, everyone knew that the city of Beijing had really changed.

----

In the third year of the Great Tomorrow, on May 30th, there are still ten days before the House Law is promulgated and the Great Council system is officially announced.

These days, there is an endless stream of old colleagues coming to see Wang Qi every day.

Of course, most of them came to submit their votes to Wang Qi in order to participate in the Grand Council election ten days later.

After all, the thirteen members of Congress announced by Wang Qi during the coup on April 25th were special choices for a special period. Now that the political situation is gradually stabilizing, formal elections need to be held and things should be done in accordance with the system.

Generally speaking, the House of Representatives is divided into two positions: senior members and parliamentarians. Among them, Wang Qi, Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, Lu Yu, Wang Huazhen, and Wang Tiqian, a total of seven people, are Pingzhangzhong national parliamentarians. Each person has a seven-year term, regardless of the term. They occupy quotas in each region and have the responsibility and authority to make decisions on all matters in the empire.

Any resolution without the consent of four-seven members is illegal.

The seven people have the final authority to interpret the actions of the chamber.

Members are elected from state capitals. According to the provisions of the new House of Representatives Law that will be released soon, different state capitals have different numbers of members due to different population conditions, geographical locations, land conditions, and financial and economic conditions.

In the House of Representatives, the Gyeonggi and Zhili areas are densely populated, economically prosperous, and serve as thoroughfares connecting all parties. The House Law confirms that the number of members is tentatively set at nine;

Datong Prefecture is listed as a separate prefecture because it is connected to the Horqin Grassland and has a special geographical location. The number of members is tentatively set at three.

Because Shanxi Prefecture is self-contained, has a dangerous geographical location, and has always been a gathering of wealthy businessmen, and because chaos has been rampant recently, it has tentatively appointed five members.

The Gansu-Shaanxi region occupies a vast area, connecting all of Gansu, Shaanxi and northern Sichuan. It has six tentative members.

The area north of Kaifeng in Henan is under the control of the Senate faction, from which three members are elected, and will be gradually expanded by region.

The Shandong Peninsula has a prosperous Confucian culture, and it has the important task of connecting Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It also has the important task of connecting the coast to North Korea and Japan. The tentative number of members is six.

Finally, there are the three provinces of Liaodong. The war has just ended. Now they are in ruins and are waiting to be revitalized. They are given preferential attention and have eight members.

As for the southern provinces, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, southern Henan, Huguang, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, South Zhili and other places, they are not yet under the jurisdiction of the House of Representatives, so they have not yet been listed as members.

The Duke of Qi.

"Brother Qi, counting the days, my little grandson will be here soon, right? As an old uncle, I miss you very much these days." Wang Huazhen sat opposite Wang Qi, put down the snacks he had just picked up, and started chatting like crazy. Wang Qi's son.

Half a month ago, Wang Qi sent someone to bring Hai Lanzhu and his son from his hometown of Zhucheng to Beijing. According to the distance, they are almost there.

"I already sent a letter before, and I guess it will arrive the day after tomorrow," Wang Qi nodded, waiting for his uncle to get down to business. "Well, Princess Ningde, I heard that she often goes to the palace these days to visit her brother and sister-in-law?" Wang Huazhen looked around and asked him.

"It's human nature. With Wang Tiqian sitting in the palace, nothing will happen." Wang Qi didn't care. After all, there was a close relationship between flesh and blood, not to mention that Princess Ningde would always ask for instructions before entering the palace.

What could happen to a powerless princess?

"Uncle, do you have anything else to talk about?" Wang Qi smiled and looked at his uncle.

"This." Wang Huazhen pursed her lips, clenched her fists subconsciously, and then said: "Over in Shandong, there are always people coming to visit these days, which is very annoying. Brother Qi should know about this, Jinan Many people from the Mansion, Qufu, Confucius, Zhucheng and other places come to Beijing to find people and connections, so they want to add one or two more council members to Shandong."

"How many members are there in Shandong?" Wang Qi asked.

"Exactly six people," Wang Huazhen said with fists and palms, feeling extremely unhappy at first.

Shandong was the source of loyalty and filial piety in the entire Ming Dynasty. There were countless Jinshi, cabinet ministers, and prime ministers in the past dynasties, including the Kong family in Qufu. How did the Queen of Saints have one more place than Shanxi? Moreover, if Shanxi includes Datong Prefecture, there will be eight places. Then Shandong will be in the last place, just like Gansu and Shaanxi!

"Uncle, among the seven members of the Pingzhang Military State, two of you and I are from Shandong. If we add one or two more people to the members of the House of Representatives, wouldn't Shandong surpass Gyeonggi and become the center of the empire? People's minds will be moved by then. It is not something we can change, and it has also caused discussions among other state governments, saying that we are partial to Shandong, right?" Since the promulgation of the new Interim Law of the House of Representatives, Wang Qi has heard too many complaints and dissatisfaction these days, among which the most , is a discussion on the number of members of each state government: "These days, whether it is Shandong or Liaodong, or the capital, Shanxi, Gansu and Shaanxi, there are complaints and dissatisfaction flying all over the sky. If anyone comes to see you again, let him come to me." Just say it.”

After all, who doesn’t want their state capital to have a greater say in the House of Representatives? In this way, whether it is the imperial examination, finance, or other tax items, there are favors and interests involved, and the extent of the involvement cannot be explained at once.

Wang Qi blocked him at the beginning of the conversation. Wang Huazhen was not angry at all. He smiled, then changed the topic and started talking about other things.

Not long after, Wang Huazhen stood up and left.

At the gate of the government office.

As soon as Wang Huazhen came out, three or five men in round-collared brocade robes gathered around them. They seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

"Sir Wang, can you find out what the Duke is saying? Can we in Shandong increase one or two places this time?"

"You must fight for our Shandong!"

"Sir, there has been a lot of quarrel in Jinan Mansion now. If there is only one place left this time, then I will have no way to explain to the villagers when I go back here!"

As soon as everyone saw Wang Huazhen, they immediately gathered around and started asking questions.

"Quiet, quiet!!!" Wang Huazhen looked back at the Duke's Mansion, then glanced at everyone: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

This kind of scene is performed almost every day at the gate of the government office of the Duke of Qi. People are not only fighting for seats in their respective state capitals, but more importantly, fighting for the future future of their families and hometowns behind them.

Another day has changed, a new dynasty has been decided, and no matter who it is, they have begun to find a new path for themselves in the new dynasty.
