Parliament, Upper House.

It was already dusk and the parliament building was empty.

Members of the House of Commons and members of the House of Commons returned to the residences in Beijing or the Jinzou House of Commons. Only the officials of the House of Commons were left in the building. These officials belonged to the House of Commons and were considered full-time clerks here.

The proposal cabinet on the first floor is filled with boxes of proposals from members of parliament.

Each member of parliament had to propose at least one bill. There were more than 5,000 noble members of the House of Lords, and finally received more than 10,800 bills, more than 10,000 bills, filled with dozens of boxes.

The officials were busy and nervously. They had to register these proposals and back up them, and they had to classify them.

Li Chao sat in the empty hall, thinking about how to carry out the work of the parliament and make the parliament work play its role. Even if it cannot be put into place in one step now, it must prove that the parliament is useful.

When the emperor left today, he even had a little smug look on his face that could not be concealed.

More than 10,000 bills are just bills from the House of Lords, and there are still 1,000 members of the House of Lords.

At the opening ceremony today, tens of thousands of people were watching football games. Even if he was talking on it, the people around him were whispering.

No one realized the importance of this parliament, and even the nobles themselves did not care much.

There were a bunch of proposals in front of Li Chao.

He looked through it one by one, and the more he looked, the more he shook his head.

These proposals are diverse.

Originally, when members of parliament proposed a proposal, they naturally put forward some reasonable suggestions on current affairs, or reflect the people's sentiments and represent the people's voices.

But it is obvious that these MPs don’t understand this, or they don’t really take it to heart.

These carnivores may not believe that their proposals will be taken seriously.

"Couples with children are forbidden to divorce!" This is a proposal by a founding member of the country, saying that divorce cannot be done if they have children. This is a weird point of view, and it is a slightly reliable one among many proposals. After all, he is considerate and indeed raised a question.

However, there are special marriage rules in the Tang Dynasty, which have long stated that as long as there is a legitimate reason, couples can divorce, that is, divorce. Others, such as widows remarrying, are also protected by law, and women's dowry is written in the law to clearly protect their property. Dowry is considered as women's pre-marital property and protected. Even after getting married, it does not belong to the common property of the couple. The right to inherit the dowry is first of all, children, and no children, and is inherited by parents, brothers and husbands.

There is also a proposal proposed by the founding Hou, which is also quite shocking.

"People who have not completed the literacy education in the literacy class should not have children."

The starting point may be good, but you cannot have children if you are illiterate. Isn’t this depriving others of basic human rights? Even in the Tang Dynasty, human rights should be discussed.

Some members of parliament have also proposed some other proposals.

"The land should be freely traded without restrictions, and the court should not curb annexation and the deed tax should be abolished."

"Grain is a commodity, and the court should not forcibly set up protection prices, which is against the market."

"The death penalty should be abolished!"

Some people even suggested that the court should abolish exile and cancel the entanglement and sit together.

Among the 100 proposals, one is probably more reliable, but it is really an excellent proposal. It is probably good if one out of a few hundred proposals.

And how to review so many proposals?

More than 5,000 congressmen sat together to discuss?

That wouldn't be a vegetable market yet.

"King Zhao, why don't you leave?" Li Daozong, the Duke of Jiangxia County, passed by and saw Li Chao still sitting there, stop to say hello.

"Your Majesty handed over the nobles' house to us to preside over. This is the first meeting. If you can't make a name for yourself, you can't get the wrong one." Li Chao spread his hands helplessly, "If the county magistrate has no urgent matters, it's better to sit down and chat."

Among the Tang Dynasty royal family, Li Daozong is now the only royal family with a higher status. He is Li Shimin's cousin. The two are not a few years apart and have always been a staunch supporter of the emperor in their early years. Although he made some mistakes during the Restoration Rebellion, he later redeemed his sins.

This time the parliament was established, Li Chao was the president of the nobles, Li Daozong was the vice president, and there was also a vice president, Yang Gongren. The three chiefs and vice presidents were also very interesting. Li Daozong was a royal family, Yang Gongren was a former prime minister, and also a royal family of the previous dynasty, and was born in the Yang family of the Hongnong family of the Guanxi family.

Needless to say, Li Chao was the promoter behind the proposal and was also a top honorary minister of the Tang Dynasty.

The relationship between these three deans is not very close, and they can be regarded as checking and balancing each other.

"Jiang Xiagong, to be honest, I don't have much experience in this council. This is not completely different from the previous Lingnan local council. Look, now, these tens of thousands of proposals are placed here, and we only have ten days this time. In ten days, how can we submit the final proposal to the court?"

Li Daozong has been in the fiefdom in recent years. His fiefdom was originally in the south of the desert, but later Li Shimin changed his title to Xindu, which is the Indus River Basin, which was later Pakistan. Although the land was fertile, it was too far away from the Central Plains.

Although Li Daozong was unhappy about this, he didn't dare to say anything.

Li Xiaogong, the famous kings of the Li family, were killed for participating in the restoration, and the whole family was killed. Li Shentong died of illness. He had been dead for several years, but Li Daozong was somewhat suspicious of this matter. Li Shentong's illness was not serious. Although he was his uncle of his age, he was not old and died as soon as he said he died.

He secretly suspected that it was because it was rumored that during the Hanjing Rebellion, the emperor and the prince died at the hands of their uncle and nephew, so the emperor wanted them to die early in the end.

"If King Zhao doesn't know what to do, then I won't understand even more." Li Daozong said with a smile.

Li Chao also knew that it would be difficult to count on this person to help him lead the council.

But he still has to be brought to the important matters involving the parliament, after all, he is a vice president.

"Mr. Jiangxia, I think so. Your Majesty gives the noble members the opportunity to discuss politics and ask everyone to propose proposals. This is Your Majesty's trust. We cannot let His Majesty down, but now the House of Representatives cannot do anything. Therefore, I plan to divide the members into multiple delegations."

"We can also consider electing several members of parliament from each delegation to form a review group."

In this way, Li Chao wanted to implement delegation meetings and group meetings in this aristocratic court and implement group deliberation.

The delegation meeting will first review the proposals of the members in advance, and then review by the group.

In order to improve efficiency, the delegation can be divided into multiple groups, and the group will first review, and then the delegation will review, and then the group leaders elected from the delegations will be finalized.

"For proposals, randomly allocated review is used. During deliberation, the proposer is allowed to make a statement for about a quarter of an hour."

If more than 10,000 proposals are held for deliberation, one person and one quarter of an hour, then these proposals are not enough in ten days. But if they are divided into multiple delegations and multiple groups, there will be enough time to listen to and review each proposal and give each proposer a chance to speak. This is also a respect for the members of parliament and the proposal.

Only by brainstorming can you truly discover good proposals.

Instead of the members of the parliament filed a bill, no one saw or reflected it in the end.

"We can divide about thirty to fifty delegations, each of which is divided into five to ten groups."

For example, if the delegation is divided by Tao, although the actual aristocratic fiefs are not within each road, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the members of the Henan Road delegation and the Hubei Road delegation are not the nobles of these two origins. They just randomly allocated more than 5,000 noble members to these delegations.

And every year, each delegation will be redistributed and disrupted, so there is no need to worry about the nobles in a certain place joining together or something.

More than 5,000 noble members were divided into more than 30 delegations, with less than 200 people in each regiment. Each regiment was divided into ten groups, and one group was only more than a dozen people.

"The idea of ​​King Zhao is very good. In this way, no matter how many proposals are, ten days will be enough." Li Daozong exclaimed.

Li Chao also felt that this was the only way.

"All proposals are randomly distributed to each delegation for review. First, the delegation will be reviewed by groups within the delegation, and then the team will elect the group leader to form a delegation jury, and the court will review it. The excellent proposals will be finally submitted to the House General Assembly, and the representatives elected from each delegation will form a large jury to finally review these proposals."

Li Daozong was stunned.

"The bill will no longer be voted by the general assembly?"

It turned out that Li Chao designed that the proposal of the parliament must be passed by half of the parliament before it will be transferred to the court by the parliament.

But now Li Chao believes that there must be a level of deliberation and screening, otherwise, 10,000 or 20,000 bills will be voted until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

"We first pass the preliminary review of the delegation group, the review of the delegation leader, and the final review of the delegation head of the nobles. Then we take the proposals passed by the final review to the conference to vote. As long as more than half of them can be passed, we will submit them to the court."

With this change, after three layers of screening, fewer proposals will be left behind. In this way, the final voting review of the conference is also operational.

"This is good, but this group leader meeting and group leader meeting must be elected by themselves within the group and the delegation?"

"It is better if it is recommended within a group. If the parliament nominates it to the court, and then appointed by His Majesty."

After all, these group leaders and group leaders have the right to review and final review of the proposals.

"I hope that Mr. Jiang Xia can ask His Majesty for this matter with someone." Li Chao smiled and said to Li Daozong.

Li Daozong was originally unwilling to do this, but looking at Li Chao's smile, he nodded in the end.

"Yes, but King Zhao owes someone a favor." He laughed.

"Well, I will write down this favor. You know that the Li family in Bashang will repay the debt."
Chapter completed!
