Chapter 71: The Economic Frontier (6)
"It turns out that the premier of the State Council is the prime minister!" This is the most common perception.
"The State Council is basically the General Staff, and the Prime Minister is the Chief of the General Staff." This is a much deeper understanding.
"Is the president of the country the vice chairman in charge of military affairs in the Military Commission?" Since this "lightness" has already begun to be, some comrades have simply begun to extend their thinking without restriction and continue to carry on the nonsense.
"The chairman of the party is equivalent to the vice chairman of the military commission, so the chairman of the country is equivalent to the emperor?"
The truth becomes clearer the more it is argued. After discussions that seemed almost "perverse" in the old era, the structure of China's new government was gradually understood by everyone. Although he didn't say it, many comrades have realized that the supreme title of "Comrade Emperor" of Wei Ze is just a title. Holding the power of the party, government and army, Wei Ze is entrenched high at the peak of power.
Of course, most of the members of the Central Committee had grown up in the flames of war, and they believed in strength and followed Weese. Since Wei Ze said so, the organizational structure of the Liberation Army has always been like this, and everyone accepted the order in this way.
In the eyes of Li Yuchang, the minister of education, who had read a lot, most of the committee members had calmly accepted Wei Ze's order, which made him very surprised. Under the traditional political structure, the emperor may be able to decide many things, but the emperor himself does not exist as a state servant. In the system set by Wei Ze, if the emperor is not an honorific title, but a position, then the emperor is undoubtedly a member of the civil service system in the system founded by Wei Ze.
The Central Committee of the Liberation Party was elected through guò, which may also be called the promotion of virtuous people. But the emperor surrendered himself to become a member of the civil service. This can only be described as deviant. Li Yuchang was extremely disappointed in Wei Ze, and Wei Ze and the group of mud-legged rebels of the Guangfu Party could only be described as a monarch or a minister.
Weeser himself did not want to appoint the prime minister directly, and there are all the advantages to direct appointment, but the disadvantages are just as obvious. In the absence of established traditions, it is easy for the prime minister to follow Weeser's lead. Weeser did not see the need for such a prime minister, saying: "I think the Central Committee still has to elect the premier of the State Council. And what is the job of the prime minister? This is also made by the method of three determinations. Set positions, personnel, and responsibilities. So today, let's discuss what the prime minister should do and what authority he should have. Let's talk about it. ”
"The prime minister is first in charge of the provincial governor, and the prime minister is in charge of specific government affairs. In other words, after we have to elect the prime minister, we have to listen to the orders of the prime minister. Wei Changrong, director of the personnel department of the Liberation Army, was extremely proficient in this area, and he directly put forward a very common sense viewpoint.
This tone must be in place, and the committee members have understood where the prime minister's greatest authority lies. Everyone went with Wei Ze, that was willing. But this prime minister is probably the second-in-command in the new government. Who will be the second leader is a big question.
"Why don't you choose Comrade Wei Changrong?" Ju Junfeng proposed to build yì.
The appointment of Wei Changrong as the second leader is the most acceptable choice for everyone, and Wei Changrong's status depends on his starting point as the head of the combat training department. On the basis of merit, there are a large number of subordinates who have worked with Wei Changrong for a long time, which makes Wei Changrong himself have great prestige and influence. When everyone mentions Wei Changrong, they often can't remember that he is Wei Ze's nephew. But Wei Ze's identity as a nephew is also Wei Changrong's extremely huge potential.
Wei Ze immediately rejected this proposal, "The Minister of Personnel has a heavy responsibility, and Comrade Wei Changrong cannot leave this post." ”
The prime minister can be replaced, but the minister of personnel cannot be replaced. Wei Changrong is in charge of the personnel department, and Wei Ze can make his own adjustments to the personnel arrangement. This is one of the greatest cornerstones of Weeser's power.
Wei Ze denied it, and everyone couldn't refute it. If Wei Changrong is not considered, then the candidate for the second leader will become very competitive.
"Or is it Comrade Hu Chenghe who is the premier of the State Council?"
"I think Comrade Ke Gongyu is good."
"Comrade Lin Asheng has always presided over the Political and Legal Committee, and the public procuratorate and law are under his control, I think Comrade Lin Asheng is very fair."
"Ju Junfeng, chief of the general staff, is not bad?"
"Comrade Lei Hu can do it too."
"The governor has always asked Comrade Shen Xin to preside over the political work, and Comrade Shen Xin is good."
Different relatives from afar and from different starting points, many representative figures in the Guangfu Army of the Liberation Party have been nominated. Wei Ze listened to this group of guys who had no experience in politics and operation talking nonsense, and he was not happy in his heart. Decision-making groups must adopt an open democratic system, which is necessary for the functioning of a modern state. However, in the early days of democracy, because of its incompleteness, it always looked hateful. Selfishness and factions have a great influence in this, and it can even be said that in many cases, it is completely selfishness and factional interests that play an absolutely dominant role.
No wonder it was said before that a thousand armies are easy to get, and a general is hard to find. Wei Ze reflected in his heart. The rise of the Liberation Army is due to the fact that it has the General Staff System, which is unprecedentedly advanced in this era and can also be fully used as a foundation. And in order to survive, the General Staff system of the Liberation Army itself must be operated well in order to survive. But no matter how many problems the military junta has, after all, it is a self-running political system. So for the civilian government, which is not urgently needed, everyone's attitude is naturally inclined to private ideas.
As the number one, he may not be able to decide what conclusions to draw in the end. But the real prerogative of the number one is that the number one can determine what to discuss. After Wei Ze and the others put forward the candidates they valued, he said: "Our organizational method is three determinations. So let's start with these three determinations. Set your responsibilities. ”
Because of his lack of experience, Wei Ze casually said, "I will finish the discussion of the prime minister today", but the prime minister of a big country cannot be decided so easily. The discussion started with three determinations, and the matter of determining responsibilities was discussed for three days. The three days of discussion left the members of the Central Committee feeling exhausted, but in the end the duties were not discussed.
The prime minister, the second leader, is in a high position, the prime minister, and the position above 10,000 people under one person. The Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Education, all of which have been established by the Liberation Army, are all under the command of the Prime Minister. That's all too much to say.
However, whether the Ministry of Personnel, the Public Procuratorate, and the Law should be managed by the prime minister is a big question. If these departments are not under the control of the Prime Minister, who should be in charge? On what basis is the distribution of power based? These heroes who rose among ordinary people never thought about it. The more they discussed, the more confused they became.
If it's a traditional dynasty, it's simple. Everyone came for fame and fortune, Wei Ze became the emperor and became the world, everyone was in a high position one by one, enjoying glory and wealth. Therefore, according to the system of power separation, divide up the big and small powers, and this is the matter.
Without the establishment of the General Staff system, and without the later establishment of the Party committee system, everyone could indeed do this. And there will be no objections.
But now these heroes have grown up under the system of the General Staff, and everyone knows the relationship between power and duty, and knows the division between authority and duty. If you want to run this country, you can't do it from above. Which of these brothers didn't start from the grassroots level and step by step to get to where they are today?
"Governor, Comrade Emperor, I have something to say." Hu Chenghe, the favorite candidate for prime minister, was as exhausted as other comrades after three days of discussions. Although the voice was loud enough, Hu Chenghe's tiredness could not be hidden.
"Say!" Wei Ze agreed with Hu Chenghe to get up and speak.
"Dudu, we follow you to fight the world, and we want to make meritorious achievements and seal our wives and sons. Everyone has become the founding hero, the prince, the lord, the prime minister, and the minister each occupy a position. And then they were in peace. That's what I used to think. But now I don't think so. I have heard a saying that it is easy to fight the world and it is difficult to sit in the world. When I used to listen to it, I thought it was nonsense, but now I think it's really not nonsense. Governor, everyone is willing to follow you, and this is why we have come to this day. Can you give us a clear word? What do you want everyone to do. What will the brothers do in the future? As long as you can explain it, we will follow you up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire. The brothers said this will not work? ”
"Well said!" Ke Gongyu stood up, this veteran of the Liberation Army, who started as a teaching brigade and is considered to be Wei Changrong's hardcore veteran, is also one of the popular candidates for prime minister. After praising Hu Chenghe, Ke Gongyu said: "Dudu, we are all brothers and comrades. We are willing to follow you because you have something to say. You want us to do things now, and depending on what you mean, this life is to do things to the end. You become an emperor and don't want to enjoy it, this is a good emperor. What can we brothers end up with? Governor, our brothers have our own meeting, let's tell the truth. What do you want your brothers to do, we will do. But you're going to have to make us do it willingly. Governor, I have always trusted you, can you convince us? ”
"That's right! Governor, you have to convince us! The members shouted.
Li Yuchang was stunned at first, and soon, the expression on his face turned into mockery. Confucianism has always talked about "monarchs, ministers, fathers, fathers, sons", and now Wei Ze's style can definitely be called "monarchs are not monarchs", so Wei Ze's gang of mud-legged people naturally responded with "ministers are not ministers". Li Yuchang actually hoped that Wei Ze would honestly follow the traditional court system many times, but Wei Ze refused this approach with great arrogance. Now, the elected members of the Central Committee have begun to rebel.
Regarding this result, Wei Ze's old father-in-law, Li Yuchang, was actually quite gloating in his heart.
"Haha!" Weser laughed.
Standing up and waving his hand to let Hu Chenghe and Ke Gongyu sit down, Wei Ze said loudly: "First of all, I want to praise everyone, the traditional dynastic government is built on lies and forces everyone to tell nonsense. Now everyone is brave enough to stand up and tell the truth, which shows that everyone is not telling nonsense. Everybody's a good guy. I just want to convince you, but I'm afraid that people don't want to hear me persuade you at all. Now that you have brought it up, I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to convince you. Let's get started! ”R1058
