Chapter 286 Year-end Meeting (2)
After the promulgation of the [Provisional Management Regulations], it caused a huge reaction among the traversers. However, in general, most of the traversers still basically agree with the [Temporary Management Regulations].
Although the Provisional Executive Committee is indeed an organization created by the army and a few state cadres themselves, the vast majority of the traversers are people who understand and know that they have a few pounds and a few taels, and if they really give up the position of the executive committee to themselves, they may not be able to do well. What's more, in the past four months, the work of the Interim Executive Committee has indeed been fruitful, and it can be said that the traverser has been able to go ashore, enter the city, and expand to Shandong, and can go down steadily step by step, and the entire traversal group has not been subjected to major ups and downs, and the Provisional Executive Committee has indeed made great contributions. Moreover, the army has also borne the cost of nearly 50 casualties, so the existence of the Interim Executive Committee is not unreasonable.
Moreover, this time the [Provisional Management Regulations] also clearly stipulate that the term of office of the Interim Executive Committee is one year, and the [Provisional Covenant] will also be enacted, which is also very reasonable, after all, everyone knows that a decree cannot be completed in a short period of time. Therefore, they are supportive of the Interim Executive Committee and the Provisional Administrative Regulations, and of course there are some who are anxious to see what kind of Provisional Covenant will be issued in a year's time.
Although there are still a small number of people who are not satisfied with the Provisional Executive Committee and the [Provisional Management Regulations], and they are full of cynicism and strange remarks, calling out the "military government", "dictatorship", "centralized dictatorship", and even the "fascist dictatorship", no one has openly stated that they want to break away from the veteran clique and go it alone, so they can only accept the [Provisional Management Regulations] by default.
The year-end meeting continued, and on the second day, the resolution on the restructuring of the Ministry of Administration was adopted. Although at the second meeting, a total of 17 departments were set up under the Ministry of Administration, which basically covered most of the administrative functions, there were still some deficiencies, mainly because the current crossing group was still in the initial stage, and although most of the members of the Interim Executive Committee were state cadres, the administrative level was low and they lacked experience in governing the country.
In the old time and space, the State Council of the Celestial Empire had a total of 25 departments, 16 directly subordinate agencies, 7 offices, 13 public institutions and 16 ministries and commissions. The current crossing group naturally does not need so many departmental institutions, and this time it is only to adjust and supplement the administrative department institutions determined by the second meeting.
First of all, the establishment of the Department of Administration of the General Office, managed by Xu Jichao, and directly responsible to the Standing Committee of the Fifth Standing Committee, in charge of decision-making, or related to the strategic development of the veteran group of major affairs, under the four departments: respectively, the Ministry of Enterprise, the Department of Common Resources, the Academy of Sciences, the Bureau of Statistics.
The Ministry of Enterprise is responsible for the comprehensive study and formulation of economic and veteran group development policies, the formulation of strategic objectives and plans, the general functions are similar to the old time and space of the National Development and Reform Commission, under the five offices, namely: Policy Research Office, Development Planning Department, Material Reserve Bureau, Food Bureau, Energy Bureau.
The full name of the Ministry of Public Assets Management is the Department of Public Asset Management, which is responsible for the management of assets and enterprises belonging to the veteran group, and its function is generally similar to that of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the old time and space, because the veteran group cannot be called the state now, so it is called public assets. At present, there are more than a dozen industries and enterprises under the Yuanlao Group, of which there are five or six large-scale ones, including the Kaiping Coal Mine, the Lishunde Hotel, and the Tianjin Shipyard, which have already been approved in Tianjin; the Sifang Locomotive Factory, Qingdao Shipyard, and Qingdao Arsenal in Qingdao.
The Academy of Sciences, that is, the original technical department, only changed its name and belonged to the comprehensive office of the Ministry of Administration, and its functions and personnel have not changed, which is to accumulate and collect advanced scientific and technological data from the old time and space, study the new technologies that can be reached by the scientific level of this era, or on the basis of the scientific level of this era, the possibility of improvement, and provide scientific and technological support for the development of the veteran group.
The Material Reserve Bureau is not only responsible for the storage and storage of various materials required by the veteran group, but also includes a variety of equipment and furniture brought from the old time and space, the equipment and furniture of the old time and space are of course important materials for the veteran group, but most of the equipment and furniture of the old time and space, which are electronic products, lack of substitutes and accessories in this era, and one less piece is used if it is bad, so it is necessary to plan and use it uniformly, and use these equipment and furniture to the most critical place.
The Food Bureau and the Energy Bureau are listed separately because food and energy are related to the survival of the country, and special institutions must be set up to manage them.
The Statistics Department is responsible for collecting statistics on the veteran groups, including various socio-economic data of the forces related to the veteran groups, so as to provide a basis for the Executive Committee to formulate policies and make decisions.
Although the speed of information circulation and transmission in this era is far less than that of the old time and space, as long as you are attentive, you can still collect considerable data, so you set up a statistical office to be responsible for the statistics of various data.
The other departments were adjusted to set up a foreign trade bureau under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was responsible for foreign procurement or the export trade of goods produced by the enterprises under the veteran group.
At present, the veteran group has not formed its own industry, industrial chain, so it needs to import a large number of materials and machinery and equipment from the outside, and wait until the veteran group develops, and need to export their own industrial products to earn profits, in the current situation, the import and export trade will be handed over to various enterprises, some are inadequate, after all, now the enterprises under the veteran group are still too weak, basically there is no competitiveness.
In the future, the veteran group will implement a planned economy with a fairly high degree of concentration, so the establishment of such a department, on the one hand, centralized procurement is conducive to reducing procurement costs, and on the other hand, unified exports, can share export costs, and increase competitiveness.
Under the Ministry of Finance, four institutions were set up: the Customs Department, the Taxation Department, the Commerce Department, and the Bank.
The two agencies of customs and taxation have been established, and now they are only formally placed under the Ministry of Finance.
Tianjin is a city dominated by circulation economy, business is very developed, with the development of the veteran group, will definitely vigorously develop the economy, then business behavior is indispensable, and naturally a special agency is needed to manage.
At the Tianjin Conference, some people proposed the establishment of a bank and the establishment of a financial system belonging to the crossing group, but the conditions for setting up a bank were not mature at that time, and at the second meeting, although the establishment of a bank was not proposed, it had been determined that when a bank was established in the future, it would belong to the Ministry of Finance. Now that the patriarchal clique has taken control of Tianjin, Weihai, and Qingdao, and intends to expand in Shandong, and the countries have basically given up their plans to attack by force, the time and conditions for the establishment of banks are ripe, and this time they will simply make up for it. He also instructed the Ministry of Finance to come up with the bank's plan as soon as possible.
Tianjin Construction Corporation was established under the Ministry of Construction. Although the Jingu Highway has been completed, there are still a large number of construction projects in Tianjin, and in the future, whether it is Weihaiwei or Qingdao, there are also a large number of basic projects, so of course it is necessary to set up a special construction company to be responsible for the construction of various projects, and after the veteran group moves to Qingdao, Qingdao Construction Corporation will be established again.
Under the Ministry of Public Security, the People's Armed Forces Department was established, that is, to manage the militia organizations in various localities.
The traverser defeated the landlord bullies of Wangjiazhai in Qingdao and established the Wangjiazhai Village Militia Brigade, which was the first militia organization established by the traverser. After all, the social environment in Shandong is not good, bandits are rampant, and now the military strength of the traverser is limited, and it is impossible to have a garrison in every village, so the militia is organized to be responsible for maintaining the law and order of the village in peacetime, resisting the attack of bandits, and waiting for the army to come to help, and in wartime, the militia can also be organized at a speed, organized into a formal army, and expand the strength of the army. Therefore, the Ministry of the People's Armed Forces was established to be responsible for the overall management of the organization and training of the militia.
However, since the militia is both a police force and an army, and in peacetime it assumes the functions of the police, but in wartime it becomes an army, so whether the People's Armed Forces Department should be subordinated to the Ministry of Public Security or the Central Military Commission has also caused a controversy, and both the Ministry of Public Security and the Military Commission hope to bring the People's Armed Forces Department under their own banners. Later, it was decided to implement two-headed management, which was under the management and dispatch of the Ministry of Public Security in peacetime, but a militia management office was also set up in the Central Military Commission to be responsible for the organization and training of the militia, and in wartime, it was directly led by the Central Military Commission, so that the controversy was settled.
Of course, the Ministry of Public Security also proposed the establishment of the National Guard or the Armed Police, but this was rejected on the grounds that the functions of the National Guard or the Armed Police can now be completely represented by the military, not to mention that there is also the Ministry of the People's Armed Forces.
The last department to be restructured was the Ministry of Personnel, under which two institutions were established, the Cadre Management Office and the Religious Management Office.
Of course, the cadres managed by the cadre management office do not refer to the elders, but the local cadres, and now the local people appointed in Tianjin in addition to the army, there are about 2,000 people, most of them are industrial workers, and there are also a small number of administrative personnel, although whether it is in the administrative department or in the enterprise, the local people are basically engaged in the lowest work, but with the expansion of the power of the traverser, there will be more and more local people appointed, of course, a group of cadres will be promoted from the local people, and in the new countryside has planned to select village cadres among the villagers, naturally a department is also needed to manage。 The function of the club is to select, train, and evaluate local cadres.
The establishment of a religious administration office was proposed by the Ministry of Public Security. Tianjin is an area with a high concentration of God and Christianity, and there are more than 20 churches built in Tianjin by various countries, ranging from the concession to the old city of Tianjin and the countryside, of course, most of the churches are still built in the concession. After the traversers occupied Tianjin, the activities of the churches were greatly restricted, and the privileges of the missionaries were naturally gone, and the churches in the old city and rural areas of Tianjin were closed, and several churches in the new area were requisitioned, such as the Hope School, which was requisitioned Zizhulin Church.
