Chapter 26: Dividing the Frontier and Splitting the Earth (2)

Li Bida continued, "In addition, the administrative district envoys are paid. In this regard, he is different from the previous nobles. In the subsequent draft, we will stipulate their salary within a reasonable range, that is, we can not only allow these officials to enjoy the corresponding glory and pomp, but also prevent them from becoming excessively greedy."

At this time, some knights in the crowd asked to speak, "His honorable High Priest, then where are you going to be in the Senate now?"

"The Senate is still the Senate, and its lofty status is still sacred, but due to some special historical reasons in the past, it occupied some powers that should not have belonged to it. Therefore, in the following years, the Senate and the People's Union will return to their original tracks - the Senate will become a simple state consulting agency again, the People's Union will only have the right to pass the law, the right to propose the bill will only belong to the consul and the ** officials, and the civil guards will only have the veto power. As for the quota, the Senate will continue to retain Caesar's original quota, and there will be nine hundred people, who will be promoted from veterans, slaves and knights, and will still be valid unless they commit the crime of great rebellion." Li Bida paused, "There may be many friends.

Ask me, from then on whom the power of war and the power of appointing envoys is still granted to the consuls from the 100-person group meeting, and the power of the consuls should be appropriately extended to three or five years. In addition, the sixteen provinces of the entire Republic can refine the administrative districts according to the situation, whether it is an old province or a wartime province, the right to draw lots is also in the hands of the two consuls. Finally, the privilege of enjoying the immunity of prosecution during the term of office will be cancelled. If a resident of the provincial administrative district appeals to him or her judicially, the case will be handed over to the legal officers of the capital. The final right of interpretation belongs to the consuls. If the crime is confirmed, the position of the chief executive in the region will be removed."

This narrative caused a thousand sensations. Everyone in the city of Korduba knew that the Senate would be abolished at all, its power to war, provincial governor draw lots, judicial power and public enemy ultimatum were all lost, and the power of the consul would be expanded to an incomparable level.

At this time, the high priest raised his fingers. The crowd surrounded by the venue suddenly calmed down again, "The war in Spain is over. I am ready to select thirty respected people in the area and quote them into the Senate in Rome. I am ready to read the list of these people soon by my documents. In addition, in terms of taxation, I will also implement new innovations in Spain, that is, to separate the taxes of the administrative region from the national taxes. I will give the local administrative region a considerable right to retain taxes for roads and cities in this area.

The improvement of the establishment, the payment of wages of slaves and small bureaucrats, the development of farmland water conservancy. The state's taxes will be used to pay the military's salary, the maintenance of fleets, the salaries of public officials, and the grand festival celebrations. They will be included in the assessment of the political achievements of the envoys. Therefore, I will continue to retain the provincial governor, but what is the function of the governor now? It is very simple. When a crisis occurs on the border, the garrison troops in various administrative regions will be in charge of defense, and in addition, they will be responsible for judicial review and administrative regions' bureaucrat assessment and supervision."

"In addition, the country will still sell special resources such as silver mines, copper mines, wood ash, marble and other special resources in Spain. In this regard, it will be no different from the policies of the Cyrene Province, and the same is true for the resources of crystals, madness printing and dyeing and silk weaving. In addition, the country will also impose a unified tax on all people in the country, namely the population land tax, namely the "head tax" and the "yoke tax". Since then, even if it is Italy and the local area, there will be no tax exemption rights.

.For the former, adult men are full tax, women and underage children are half tax, and five slaves will share the head tax for one adult man - yes, slaves also need to pay taxes for them. Do you release them to avoid taxes, or use them to create greater value? Depend on the right, I will issue freely to the masters of the slaves; for the latter, the tax amount will be determined based on the output, size and fertility and barrenness of the land, and the taxes of wheat fields and olive gardens will naturally be

It is different, and the taxes on ranches and fields are also different. In order to thoroughly review the real estate in the entire Republic, the entire bureaucracy is about to expand rapidly, and we must make long-term preparations for it. Talent is scarce, but the first wave of adult talented people from Italy and Greece, and even Alexander will solve the urgent problem, so we will further expand the number of knights, procurator financial agents, and state slaves. In addition, I will be in

Library and colleges are built in various parts of the country. In Spain, I will prepare to establish four schools, namely Oscar, Orcreci, Italy and Magara, four cities, to select all young children and enter the academy to study the seven arts. In the future, they can pass the assessment and recommend them to the administrative region of the region to take on grassroots public positions and then be promoted step by step. As for Italy, Gaul, Afilica and other places, I will build them one by one, so that they can also form a talent reserve for the Republic in the next thirty or even a hundred years."

"So, please come and make a plow with peace of mind! The barriers and competition between tribes and free markets will no longer exist. Everyone will be unified under the control of the concept of one country. Criminals, prisoners of war and slaves will no longer be executed by random sacrifices. I will send them to the coast of Mauritania in Afriga, or the territory that will be newly developed and conquered in the future, under the leadership of the corresponding colonial committee, for the whole.

An empire will bring new benefits with swords or plows. As for you, let’s grazle, farm and reproduce, and serve the country’s taxes. The naval battles, land wars and bandits in Spain will disappear. Roads and trade will once again connect all regions into a brotherly intimate whole, and every people will get dividends from development and prosperity. Therefore, I believe that some small tax burdens will be insignificant for you.”

After saying that, Li Bida took his hand and said, "Let us offer rich sacrifices and wonderful dances in front of the altar of peace, thanks for the light coming on the country!"

As the male and female priests in the mask howled and took off, they rushed to the sacrificial platform built by the city hall. In the end, the general appearance of Li Bida's policy was outlined. He wanted to eliminate the old framework of the republic and build a brand new "Baby Tower" based on the entire empire! This time, Korduba's meeting was the stage where he officially spoke out and issued a grand blueprint. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
