The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 628 Beihai Royal Family
On the second day after Jia Min and Chang An got married, the Beihai Volunteer Army began to withdraw. Except for Jia Qiang's regiment, which would go back with Jia Min, the rest all withdrew to Beihai.

The reason why Jia Min stayed was not only that he and Chang'an were newlyweds and couldn't leave immediately, but also because he was going to attend the wedding of Zuo Linliang and Li Chun in a month's time.

As Chang'an's bodyguard, Zuo Linliang has been loyal to Chang'an over the years, and has made great contributions in training and fighting in Chang'an.

Lichun has been with Chang'an since he was a child, and now he can be said to be the closest person to Chang'an.

Because the two have always been with Chang'an, they have long admired each other.

Now that Chang'an has successfully restored the country and ascended the throne as the emperor, the two of them can be considered to have achieved a positive result.

Chang'an also knew about the relationship between the two of them a long time ago, so he bestowed a marriage and betrothed Lichun to Zuo Linliang.

In Zhao Yingqi's era, the government was in chaos, and San Francisco had been sucking blood for many years, and the national strength of Dade has actually begun to weaken.

Then San Francisco rebelled, Jia Min counterattacked, the war continued, and the power of Great Germany became weaker.The government needs to be rectified, and the people need to recuperate.

So Chang'an began a series of political adjustments in order to restore the vitality of Dade as soon as possible.

The more favorable condition is that the biggest hidden danger in San Francisco has been completely eliminated. The original nobles, aristocratic families, and speculators such as Luo Qihua, foreign relatives, etc., have been continuously cleaned up in the Zhao Yingqi era and the Tianshun era. A force that threatens imperial power.

During the process of Chang'an's restoration of the country, the forces gathered around Chang'an, such as King Beijing, Ji Dashi, Lu Dashi, Chu Yuanji, Zhou Tong, Zuo Linliang, He Jialin, Luo Xingshan, Yang Kui, Xiu Tonggui, etc., basically They are all decent people, and they are more loyal to Chang'an, and they also do their best to assist Chang'an.

Chang'an itself is orthodox in blood. When the San Francisco was in full swing, he raised the banner of recovery. He also had experience in military training and the South and North War. With the help of a group of veterans, he handled government affairs smoothly. , and soon entered the state.

Three months later, Jia Min bid farewell to Chang'an and returned to Beihai with the remaining Jia Qiang.

Before parting, Chang'an was reluctant to part with him, and he sent Jia Min to Tongzhou with thousands of reminders, so he reluctantly bid farewell.

Jia Min traveled from Tongzhou to Tianjinwei, boarded a ship and set sail, starting his journey back to Beihai.

By the time he arrived at Beihai Pingyuan City, it was already two months later.

When they came to the Sheldon River area, the Sheldon River was frozen, and finally returned to Pingyuan City on a sledge from the ice.

At this time, the war between the Ross Empire and France was still going on, and during Jia Min's expedition for a year or so, the border between Beihai and Ross had been very stable.

The previous chaotic situation in Daedeok's interior basically did not affect Beihai. Therefore, for more than a year, the interior of Beihai has also been very stable, and all energy has been devoted to construction.

The war between the two empires, the North and the South, caused many people in the country to flee to the territory of Beihai in order to escape the war, and settled down in Beihai.The population of Beihai has increased a lot.

When he was still in the imperial capital, Jia Min studied the future of Beihai with Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan and others.

Jia Min put forward his own ideas and set up a special working group.

Apart from Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan, the members of this group are mainly those who went to France with Jia Min.

Among them are Wei Ruoshui, Wintersweet Flower, Saivante couple, Baochai, Miaoyu, Daiyu and Tamara.

The working group proposed a plan, the main content of which is to implement a constitutional monarchy.

Jia Min is naturally the king of Beihai.

The king adopts a hereditary system and is the head of state and the symbol of the country, but generally does not participate in actual government affairs.

The normal operation of the country is carried out by the Council of Government Affairs, which implements a cabinet system. The Prime Minister is the head of the Council of Government Affairs and is elected by all the people.The tenure system is implemented, and one person is appointed every five years, and can be re-elected once.

The parliament is composed of representatives from all walks of life and is responsible for legislation.

The Senate is composed of prestigious people from all walks of life, participates in and discusses state affairs, and supervises the Council of Government Affairs.

After Jia Min's approval, the plan was printed, distributed, and handed over to all walks of life for discussion.

Naturally, the response from all walks of life was very enthusiastic.

Almost no one has any objection to Jia Min being king.

What surprised people was that the king Jia Min was willing to give up so much power and be willing to be a king without real power.

People were also very curious about this method of electing the head of the Government Affairs Council, but at this time, Jia Min, Feng Ziying and others enjoyed great prestige in Beihai.At present, the leading force in Beihai is precisely the personnel mainly composed of volunteers.

It turns out that Wei Song, Zac, and Bogda, the natives of Beihai, have already been bound together with Jia Min.

Other natives also benefited a lot from these outsiders.

As for the immigrants from Dade and Ross, they are even more in favor of this plan.

Therefore, this plan was almost unanimously approved.

The only one who had any idea about this was the people in Jia's mansion.

These people are mainly the old lady, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing.

In this regard, Jia Lian, Baochai, Miaoyu, Daiyu and others explained.

The advantage of doing this is that the Jia family will be the king of the North Sea for generations to come, and no one will ever want to rebel to overthrow the Jia family and change the dynasty.

From then on, the Jia family only had to be the king, and no longer had to worry about being ransacked and exterminated nine clans all day long.

The second is that in the future, the Government Affairs Council will give a sum of money every year for the Jia family to eat, drink and have fun.

Not to mention that the Jia family can still make money by doing business, even if they don't make money, the money given by the Government Affairs Council is enough to live a decent life.

The third is that the "Royal Law" will be enacted in the future. There will be detailed regulations on who will inherit the king, who will be the first heir, who will be the second heir, who will be the prince, who will be the duke, and the earl. , There will be no such thing as father and son killing each other, and brothers fighting against each other.

This series of calculations is clear, the old lady, Jia She and others feel that this seems to be better. My family can be the emperor for generations. Without much effort, some people will eat, drink and have fun, and no one will rise up to rebel. The children and grandchildren enjoy the glory and wealth, which is better than being the Duke of Rongguo and Duke of Ningguo in Dade.

Where can I find such a good thing?

"This method is not bad. From now on, the emperor of Beihai will belong to our family for generations. In the future, I will have the face to meet my ancestors."

The old lady set the tone, and naturally no one would say anything else.

"Miss Bao, tell me, what about the "Royal Law"? Who will be the queen in the future?"

The old lady is still very concerned about this issue.

"No queen?"

"There is no queen? What about brother Min? What about you? Do you want to divorce you all?"

"Old ancestor, no. Although there is no queen, there is a wife. Brother Min's women are all wives, and there is no distinction between the main wife and the concubine. There is only one first lady, which can be regarded as an explanation to the outside world. "

"Who is the first lady?"

"In the future, of course it will be Sister Bao."

Daiyu rushed to answer.

"Well, First Lady, that's a good idea. This way, everyone will be the same, and there will be no difference in size, so you won't have to fight over and over again. Oh, isn't this similar to the local customs in Beihai?"

"Old ancestors, it's not the same, it's the same. Beihai people don't have wives and concubines. We are also Beihai people now. This is doing as the Romans do."

Wang Xifeng came out to assist in time.

"Based on that, I feel a little wronged by that girl from Chang'an."

"Old ancestor, I won't wrong her, and gave her a title."

"What title?"

"Chang'an is not here, so I gave her the title of 'Honorary Queen'. It is only a false name, and it is a favor to give the Dade people a face."

"This "Royal Law", did it say how many wives Brother Ming has?"

"As I said, there are nine in total. If you have less, you can do it, but if you have more, it will not work."

"Nine? Yuanyang, count the number for me, how many are there now?"

The old lady turned her head and said to Yuanyang.

"Old ancestor, does Chang'an count?"

"They're all married, so of course it counts."

"Does Miss Lin count?"

"Yuanyang, what do you want me to do, you dumbass? You haven't written your horoscope yet."

Daiyu is in a hurry.

"Hahaha, Daiyu, tell the truth this time."

The old lady laughed.

"I'll order the bad one for you, and I'll make the decision, and I'll betroth you to Brother Ming."

"Old ancestor, I will not marry him."

"Okay, you can marry whenever you want. Isn't there a total of nine places? When the time comes, I will find brother Ming and reserve your spot in advance. No one is allowed to compete with you."

"After all, it is the ancestors who love Daiyu, and they are close to Daiyu."

Wang Xifeng will always appear in time at critical moments.

"Miaoyu, what about you?"

"I... I didn't want to marry at first, but I can marry or not. In short..."

Although Miaoyu was a thorn in Jia Min's side, it was always embarrassing to ask her to speak out in front of so many people.

If you don't say it, you are afraid that Jia Min will find someone else, and the quota will be gone by then, but you will regret it too late.

"Will it work or not? I'm also in charge of your marriage. I'll betroth you to Brother Ming. You girl, you are really stupid. You have been with Brother Ming for so long. Tamara is the later Yes, we all know that it is better to act first. If you hesitate again, and the quota is gone, what will you do? You don’t know about Brother Ming’s temper. You love one when you see one. Ten birds are in the forest, why not With a bird in hand, you still don’t understand this truth?”

"Then it's all up to the ancestors."

"Look, this dead girl, I support her so much, she is obviously willing to say that I make the decision for her. People say that women are not allowed to stay in college, this is really true."

"It's just for the ancestors to be the masters."

Miaoyu was a little coquettish in a rare way.

"Okay, I'll make the decision for you. Yuanyang, how many do you count this time?"

"Miss Bao, Chang'an, Miss Daiyu, Miss Miaoyu, Tamara, Ping'er, Qingwen, Shen Bingyi, there are eight in total."

"Hey, there's still one left. Who is this spot reserved for?"

The old lady looked around, her eyes stopped on Qin Keqing, and she smiled meaningfully.

Seeing this, Qin Keqing's heart trembled, but he soon calmed down.There was also a sweetness in my heart.

She understood that the quota must have been reserved for her by Uncle Min.
