Chapter 414: A New Deal in Jiading

Mai Ke appointed Yang Wei as the first mayor of Jiading, the fourth holy city of the Heavenly Kingdom, and after establishing the basic framework, he authorized himself to determine the candidates, formulate the norms and provisions of the major policies, and the specific implementation rules for the management of the city.

Yang Wei has been preparing for more than 20 years, and today he finally has the opportunity to make a grand show, and immediately like a clockwork pendulum, he devoted himself to the formation of Jiading's new policy.

Prince Nguyen Phuc Yun, not only very much with the reorganization of the army of the Prince's Palace, but also he himself is a senior Christian, not only that, but when he heard that Yang Wei had formed a new Jiading management body, he offered to dedicate his Prince's Mansion as the office of Jiading City.

After discussing with Mai Ke, Yang Wei thanked the Fuyun brothers for their kindness, but did not agree to him to dedicate the construction of the prince's castle, but to preserve and protect the castle as a unique historical building for future generations.

The new management body of Jiading will serve the people in the new office building. Of course, the task of building the building is Mai Ke's business. Not only office buildings, but many other buildings, including residential buildings, need to be built. But here's what's next.

In view of Nguyen Phuc Yun's special status and great contributions, Yang Wei hired him as honorary mayor ex officio.

In addition to not worrying about his daily work, this honorary mayor has the right to make decisions on all matters in the Holy City, and has the right to impeach all officials in the Holy City, including Mayor Yang Wei.

If you are not satisfied with the mayor's job, or find that he has serious problems, you can directly file impeachment with Mai Ke.

But apart from his supervisory duties, he is not involved in or responsible for the management of the city. He is, in effect, the head of an independent supervisory body. Of course, he can't do all these things on his own. So he also has the funds to find someone to help him with this monitoring task.

Since the Han Chinese have always played a key role in the economic operation of the city, even in the face of various repressions, they still dominate the economic lifeline of the city; and since the Chinese Han people have a long culture, a long history, and are kind and wise, there is no reason why Yang Wei should not be important to the best of the people in the city when he decides who will do the work of managing the city.

As a result, Li Kaishan was appointed executive vice mayor. Accountable to the Mayor. Overall management of the city's affairs. When Yang Wei was not there, or although he was there, he was entrusted to do so, Li Kaishan fully exercised the rights and responsibilities of the mayor.

Li Kaishan's ancestors lived in Jiading. Very familiar with the city. There is always a feeling of love and pain. Now suddenly the opportunity has come. I can apply my own political wisdom and govern this place where generations have lived according to my own heart, and I am also very excited. Immediately put down the other things at hand, join Yang Wei, and do the following formation work.

Then there is Wang Luhai, Yang Wei knows a little about him, and Li Kaishan specially recommended him, so Yang Wei appointed him as Minister of Economy. He was well versed in trade and transportation, and also had a keen grasp of the production and consumption of goods.

Yang Wei specially explained to him that he would come here, like all other holy cities, there would be special products, including the Four Seasons Fruit Bowl and the River of Life, which needed to be organized and supplied for the consumption of all citizens. After doing this basic work well, it is necessary to sell surplus commodities, purchase scarce goods, and adjust surplus and shortage.

Therefore, Yang Wei made a special statement that as the Minister of Economy, commodity trading is only part of his responsibility, and production and consumption must also be managed, and it is a more important part of the work.

Yang Jihai liked this appointment very much, he was obviously more unrestrained than Li Kaishan, and he jumped up happily at that time and said: "I have long wanted to produce, supply and sell one-stop! Unfortunately, in the past, I worked hard, but I only did something in sales, and I could only do it secretly under the control of others. This time, I can finally let go of my hands and feet and do a big job!hahaha......"

Under Nguyen Phuc Van Yun's leadership, the long-serving regional bishop of Gia Dinh, Sotov, was appointed Minister of Culture and Education, specifically stating that this Minister of Culture and Education did not only teach general scientific and cultural knowledge, but mainly taught the Bible, and other items were used as basic knowledge to prepare for the teaching of the Bible.

Bishop Sotov himself was very excited and very interested in this position, and such a thing came to him, and it was the first time that the eldest girl sat in a sedan chair. In the past, he was afraid that he would interfere in political or management functions, but now he is a part of it.

Unfortunately, he can't be the master of such things. In Catholicism, anything that does not conform to traditional practice is naturally rejected, and if accepted, it must go through a prescribed procedure and be determined in advance by the authorities.

Yang Wei received feedback from Sotov and immediately discussed with Mai Ke how to deal with this problem. Mai Ke told Yang Wei that this is not strange in Catholicism, and it is not very easy to let Catholics participate in politics today, when the separation of church and state has become the mainstream. Therefore, just wait patiently for him to negotiate with his superiors.

Therefore, Yang Wei told Sotov that he could wait for him and let him do everything in his power to obtain the consent of the Catholic Church. Sotov immediately took the matter as a matter of urgency and went to his superiors.

I don't know what method he used, but this time he really didn't wait too long. The next day, Sotov was reciprocated, saying that he agreed to participate in politics, but he must not violate the principles of the Christian faith, and he must not do anything contrary to the teachings of the Bible. At the same time, a new bishop was appointed, and his original bishop was transferred to vicar in order to concentrate on his administrative duties.

Sotov gave the answer to Yang Wei and Mai Ke, and said that he was still very willing to accept the position and fulfill his Christian mission in this management position.

Yang Wei didn't feel anything, and Mai Ke was very surprised by the flexibility and speed of Catholicism. This departure from tradition in order to adapt to new circumstances should be unique in the history of Catholicism.

Then Yang Weiyou appointed the Minister of Propaganda. When this person was selected, Ruan Shiming recommended the senior pastor of his church, whose name was Lu Xian. According to Ruan Shiming, Pastor Lu Xian is very familiar with the Bible, especially in the application of the Bible's teachings, and has a deeper understanding than ordinary people, and often looks at problems from a different perspective and is to the point.

Mai Ke also agreed with the appointment, believing that it was important to declare that the mouthpiece was in the hands of such a keen person.

As the basic purpose of the holy city is to glorify God, any errors and defects must be eliminated as much as possible, not covered up and exaggerated, so having this kind of judging news reporting agency will greatly help the realization of the city's purpose.

Then there is the appointment of the head of security of the city, who will be responsible for the security of the city? (to be continued......
