Steel Dynasty - Chapter 465

[Chapter 465 Official Gap]

“…the Department of Foreign Affairs will be established. The Department of Foreign Affairs will be responsible for handling the relations between the feudal state and countries other than the Great Chongqing State. In addition, each state’s government offices will make police officers independent, and each state and county will set up security stations to coordinate with the Supervisory Yuan. He is also responsible for enforcing the law, arresting prisoners and handling civil disputes. “

As Xiao Ming spoke, Pang Yukun distributed the printed records of feudal officials and government affairs systems to the officials.

The feudal states of other vassals have their own official system, but Qingzhou and other six states have never had such a regular official and government system due to wars and lack of personnel.

However, although Xiao Ming has now officially established his own management system, this system is still very different from the official system of Dayu State.

Many officials were already confused when listening, so when they got the brochure, they immediately read it carefully, and compared it with what Xiao Ming said, they basically understood the new government structure.

Overall, since then, officials’ responsibilities have become more detailed and they have fewer things to manage, which is a good thing for them.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, from now on, their rights will be dispersed, and there is no way to seize them.

After talking for half an hour, Xiao Ming finally made it clear about the government affairs and official system. Then he looked at the officials, “Do you have any questions?”

Zhan Xingchang said in confusion: ” Your Highness, since there are nine cabinet ministers, who are the remaining eight people except Pang Chief Assistant? “

Speaking of this, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun looked at each other and laughed. Pang Yukun said: “There are no remaining eight people yet. But His Highness is looking for candidates, and you all have a chance. “

When everyone heard this, there was a commotion and whispers.

Yang Chengye asked: “Your Highness, since the six departments have been established, what is the role of this cabinet?”

“The government affairs meeting of the six departments will first be reviewed by the cabinet. Only when the cabinet ministers reach a consensus can a decision be issued and sent to the king for approval. It can be said that the cabinet is Directly responsible for this king,” Xiao Ming said loudly.

The establishment of the cabinet was not Xiao Ming’s impromptu idea, but the government system of Da Yu was too backward and was gradually unable to adapt to the development of today’s world.

That’s why he moved the cabinet system to his fiefdom. In his opinion, the Ming Dynasty’s cabinet system was very close to a constitutional monarchy, but unlike a constitutional monarchy, the cabinet system maintained Xiao Ming’s absolute power.

At the same time, Xiao Ming comes from modern times and will not reuse eunuchs at all, nor will he allow eunuchs to have exclusive power, let alone panic the government. Therefore, in his hands, the cabinet system will be very suitable for the management of the feudal country, and will also avoid the situation of powerful ministers having exclusive power. Condition.

After all, there are nine people in the cabinet. Even if he does not ask about government affairs, two-thirds of the people must pass it before the decree can be implemented. Although Pang Yukun is the chief minister of the cabinet, it does not mean that he has the greatest power, but that he is responsible for the operation of the cabinet.

Yang Chengye nodded when he heard this. Now he understood that now it was equivalent to dividing Pang Yukun’s previous rights among nine people.

Other officials also have their own thoughts. Doesn’t this mean that they will become the third batch of officials?

After all, there are six departments under the cabinet ministers, and they are under the six departments.

Chang Yuchun said: “Your Highness, there are so many official positions at once, and the feudal state does not have so many officials to fill them.”

Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun had long been arguing about this issue, and he said: “This king and Pang Shoufu discussed it After that, Bowen College has trained officials for such a long time, and now it is time for these students to pass the exam and enter the officialdom. Of course, you can all take the exam. You all have administrative experience, and I will give you extra consideration. “

As soon as Xiao Ming finished speaking, the officials immediately showed excited expressions. What Xiao Ming said means that they also have the opportunity to enter the cabinet and the Sixth Division. This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Zhan Xingchang and other seven governors could not help but be ambitious at this time. They were already in high positions, and now that Xiao Ming had reestablished an administrative system, they naturally wanted to achieve greater things.

Moreover, as Xiao Ming said, they have experience in handling government affairs and are more suitable to serve as chief officials in today’s cabinet and six departments.

They don’t want to lose to those students in Bowen Academy.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” A group of officials said excitedly. They were looking forward to the exam. After all, they were all masters of the exam, and although they were not in Bowen College, they all had government affairs books given by Xiao Ming.

In addition to the cabinet and the Sixth Department, the major changes in government affairs this time are the Oversight Yuan.

Because this is the beginning of Xiao Ming’s independence of the judiciary. From now on, officials within the fiefdom will be supervised by officials of the Supervisory Yuan. From the officials to the people, they must abide by the rule of law.

However, like the cabinet, this organization is currently only in its infancy, without specific organizations and personnel, which also needs to be filled by Xiao Ming.

The discussion started at noon and lasted until the afternoon. Some organizations temporarily had no staff and could only wait for the exam to fill them up, while some organizations could be divided directly, such as the security station planned by Xiao Ming.

Now the security station will be directly separated from the government office and will be under the jurisdiction of the Security Department. Regardless of this matter, the magistrates of each county will focus on improving people’s livelihood.

Since this government reform involves major matters and almost overthrows the old system, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun gave detailed answers to the questions raised by officials.

In the evening, Xiao Ming held a banquet for the officials to have a meal together. This time, the officials were not in the mood to eat. They were all thinking about the impact of this change in government affairs on themselves.

However, this meeting only put forward the program of reform. As for the specific reform measures that need to be implemented step by step, Xiao Ming was equivalent to giving these officials a vaccination in advance to make them mentally prepared.

After the banquet in the palace was over, the officials from various states and counties thanked him and left. They went back to carefully consider the matter.

“Your Highness, what happened? So many officials gathered in Qingzhou.” Fei Yueer came out of the dormitory after the officials left.

After finishing today’s work, Xiao Ming felt relieved, so he told Fei Yue’er about the government reform.

“The reforms of the Cabinet, the Supervisory Yuan, and the Security Department are really unique.” Fei Yue’er heard the words and said with a smile, “It’s just that your Highness’s fiefdom will need a large number of officials to supplement it.”

Xiao Ming nodded and said: “That’s right, I am worried about this matter now. There are so many official vacancies at once, and I am going to have a headache this time.”

Just as he was talking, Xiao Ming suddenly thought of something, and he said to Fei Yue’er: ” The Fei family, a scholarly family with four generations and three sons, may be able to help this king solve his urgent needs.”
