BXBX NOVEL Chapter 395: United Kingdom government agency
England, London
"Have you heard?" A passer-by on the streets of London asked his friend who was walking alongside him.
"What?" My friend asked suspiciously.
"The business of the United Kingdom!" said the pedestrian.
"Of course, we will have a queen in England in the future, which is really strange!" My friend exclaimed.
"Nonsense, I mean, we and the Scots will be part of the same country in the future, and we will no longer fight!" The pedestrian said helplessly.
"That\'s great. In this way, the war tax will definitely be reduced. What a good thing!" My friend cheered a little. For ordinary people like them, this is the best thing.
...
Ireland, Dublin.
"Hey, I heard that we have joined a kingdom, and there are two more kings on our heads, and one of them is a queen!" said one person.
"Yeah! This is quite new!" Another person sighed, "But, what does it matter to us? Isn\'t life still the same?"
"That\'s right, it\'s none of our business!"
The two smiled at each other, and then separated.
Scotland, Parliament.
"You said, after joining the United Kingdom, what should our parliament do? What should the government do?" A nobleman and member of parliament asked with some concern.
"How else can I raise it? Send your family emblem to the Heraldry Bureau in London, and then continue to be your own member of parliament!" On the side, a fat member of the nobleman said indifferently.
"What are you worried about? The four major families have all moved to England, and they will naturally work in England in the future. What are we little nobles worried about?"
"That\'s right, the nobles are not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry."
He breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of this, his mood improved a lot in an instant.
...
Edward naturally couldn\'t care less about the feelings of these people.
It’s just a little bastard, no matter how much complaining is, it can’t be eaten.
After the wedding, Edward did not give the girl Mary something to eat. After all, she was too young and could easily hurt her roots. Let’s wait two years before talking about it!
Afterwards, the young His Majesty the King frequently met nobles from England, Scotland, Wales and other places, and thanked them for coming all the way to attend his wedding.
Then, he chose a few important nobles to chat with to enhance their relationship.
The most important thing for him is to screen among the many nobles to see what kind of talented nobles they have, and let them join the government.
Of course, the central government of the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom, in Edward\'s plan, has a central government and four local regional governments.
Four major local areas, composed of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, serve as the four pillars of the United Kingdom.
The central government has the power of taxation, diplomatic power, religious power, minting power, and administrative power.
The administrative power of the central government has the power to appoint and remove officials at the county level and above, and to exercise supervision.
The central government sets up a cabinet, and the prime minister of the cabinet is generally served by the Speaker of the Privy Council in England, and has various ministers.
According to the usual practice, the deputy prime minister is the regent of Scotland, who has no real power and can only be regarded as a spare tire.
Under normal circumstances, the coalition government cannot intervene in the administration of the four major regions, except, of course, England.
As we all know, England has already completed the centralization of power, while the other three regions have not.
It is illegal to recklessly interfere with administration other than the right to appoint personnel.
As for the legislative power, there is the Supreme United Court.
In addition to the central government, the Supreme United Court is established to supervise and promulgate laws and regulations applicable to the entire United Kingdom. Of course, the Supreme United Court is selected from the top judges of the four major regions.
The Supreme Court of the four major regions is appointed and dismissed by His Majesty the King, supervises and impeaches local officials.
The highest joint judges set up nine, appointed and dismissed by His Majesty the King.
Set up a joint parliament with 400 people, and evaluate it according to the population. The population is large and the proportion is large.
Thus, England, with a population of 3 million, occupied 300 seats and led the entire joint parliament.
According to the usual practice, the Speaker of the House of Lords of England holds this position, and the Deputy Speaker is the Speaker of the Scottish Parliament.
Of course, this is also Edward\'s means to check and balance the central government of the United Kingdom.
The House of Lords is dominated by nobles and religious figures, and is firmly under the control of the king.
If the President of the Privy Council of England and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom are obedient, then the Speaker of the House of Lords and the Speaker of the Joint Parliament will belong to him.
If he is not obedient, then the Speaker of the House of Lords and the Joint Parliament will not have his share, and the Joint Parliament will vigorously punish him, supervise and impeach him.
The Scottish nobles opposed the distribution of seats in proportion to the population, and all of this was suppressed by Edward.
Below the Joint Council, there are four major councils.
Parliament of England, Parliament of Scotland, Parliament of Wales, Parliament of Ireland.
The Scottish Parliament is controlled by nobles. As long as the Scottish nobles are controlled, it is not easy.
The Welsh and Irish parliaments, don\'t think about it, everything is under the king\'s control.
The English Parliament is the top priority. At present, Edward has absolute control over the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
In addition, Edward also established the United Kingdom\'s United Heraldry Bureau.
Set up four heraldic bureaus in the other four regions, and then set up a joint heraldic bureau.
The local heraldic bureau records the local squires, gentlemen, knights, nobles and other classes, while the joint heraldic bureau only records nobles.
That is to say, the United Heraldry Bureau only records the nobles with the title of baron and above, and ordinary people no longer consider it.
In other words, as long as you register with the United Heraldry Bureau and record your family crest, title, and lineage, your aristocratic status will be recognized by the entire United Kingdom.
In addition to the Bureau of Arms, Edward also made the Mint independent.
The four major regions are only allowed to produce and manufacture currency, while the highest mint is responsible for issuing and establishing currency.
Moreover, Edward announced in the name of himself and Mary that the central bank of the United Kingdom will be established to be responsible for supervising all financial industries in the United Kingdom.
Of course, by convention, there are four layers of the royal family, three layers of nobles, and three layers of the central government of the United Kingdom.
And the most important military power, Edward has been busy.
Didn’t the English Parliament not allow the king to have his own army?
Then, Edward established the Royal Army and Royal Navy of the United Kingdom.
Army, the United Kingdom Army Command Committee was established to lead and command all the armies of the United Kingdom, with the king as the speaker.
In terms of the navy, the United Kingdom Naval Command Committee was established to lead and command all the navy of the United Kingdom, with the king as the speaker.
In terms of army salaries, an appropriation committee is established, and half of the military expenditure is paid by the coalition government and the local government, and they are uniformly handed over to the appropriation committee.
The speakers of each region, the prime minister, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom are members of the prime minister, and the king serves as the speaker.
