Section 165: Institutional Adjustments

In addition to the propaganda group in the countryside, Du Wen also found some literary and artistic backbones from the commune -- the so-called literary and artistic people can sing small slang songs in the countryside, organized some pens to write propaganda songs, and taught them to sing in Dongmen City or with the group in the countryside. In order to discover the programs that the masses like to see, Du Wen even mobilized the brains of the monks and Taoists in several abandoned temples and Taoist temples outside the city - although the monks are all monks, there is obviously a big difference between a rich place and a border place like Lingao. Although several temples were built by the government in the early Ming Dynasty, they have not been repaired for more than 100 years, and they are dilapidated, and seven or eight monks and five or six Taoist priests are often half-starved and half-full. Du Wen recruited them all, and after a few meals of hearty entertainment, she asked them to make up a song to praise the sermons of the people. Both of these are religious ballads sung by monks and Taoists in the temple in the past when they go out to travel to the party, mainly religious stories and karma stories, which play the role of persuading goodness. In the past, there were few folk entertainment activities, and listening, singing, and preaching were also the pastimes of the people.

Now this song must not only have the content of exhorting kindness, but also include all kinds of "good deeds" that have passed through the crowd, such as giving relief to the victims, helping the elderly and the poor, cleaning up bandits, fighting pirates, and so on.

Du Wen is not very good at literature and art, but fortunately, there are people who are engaged in Chinese music art in all middle schools, please come to the town to review, and if you make haode, each song will be paid one kilogram of rice, and three kilograms will be particularly excellent. This price made the religious workers who had not had enough to eat a lot of energy, and soon wrote thirty or forty sticks. Du Wen asked them to go to the countryside to sing, and they were paid another kilogram of rice every day. After eating a full meal, the monks and Taoists who got the cloth from the traverser made a new outfit and went to the countryside to engage in propaganda.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of such a propaganda offensive, the voices of traversers were heard everywhere in the entire Lingao County, from the county seat to the most remote rural areas. Those villages that had a procrastination attitude now had to reconsider their attitudes, especially after the song infinitely promoted the strength and kindness of the traversers.

While the propaganda campaign for the convening of the "Political Consultative Association" was in progress, the Executive Committee also began formal restructuring work.

Although it has been formed before the crossing. The basic structure of six committees, four direct jurisdictional groups, but months of actual operation showed. This body has failed to oversimplify, and as a result, a number of specialized groups have emerged under the various committees, some of which are suspected of being over-stacked, while others have been completely detached from their original purpose - the most typical is the security group, whose function is now almost entirely political security. However, public security was left to a so-called "Dongmen City Police Station" that had no establishment to manage.

Another example is the current intelligence service, theoretically . There is a professional intelligence and information group under the executive committee, but in fact, most of them have nothing to do with intelligence, and are mainly engaged in the study of jishu materials and historical books. Although the Canton dispatch station was nominally subordinate to them, it was in fact part of a separate intelligence department under the Executive Committee.

Obviously, this simple and crude system has been. The economy can no longer meet the needs of the crossing regime. This was the view that the Executive Committee had agreed on before the restructuring meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now a political power, and in addition to ourselves, there are also ordinary people, and it is time to introduce civil administration institutions and methods." Xiao Zishan spoke at the meeting, "In the past, a system like the Internal Affairs and Civil Affairs Committee was only for the time travelers, and such an unclear authority is not suitable for future development." ”

"And what do you mean?"

"I propose: the Internal Affairs Committee should be split up."

Siu Zishan's opinion is that the Internal Affairs Committee is split into two ministries. Gate, as the name suggests, manages civil affairs, that is, the aborigines under their rule. The other should be changed to "General Office".

"The General Office?" Some people are puzzled.

"I know what Zishan means." Wen Desi said, "The so-called general office is . . . It's specifically responsible for the eating, drinking, eating, lodging, and transportation of the congregation itself, right? ”

"Yes, actually, right now. That's what I'm doing. However, the civil affairs will become more and more onerous in the future, and Ade needs a special agency to manage it, and it is not appropriate to always be in the name of the head of the labor group and the head of the commune. ”

Undoubtedly, this is a major good news for Wu De, once this split, Wu De will become the de facto Minister of Civil Affairs, one of the members of the Executive Committee, and he is now only attending the Executive Committee meetings as the head of the professional group.

Wu De did not show any modest procrastination--because Xiao Zishan was very reasonable, and he himself thought about this problem. However, in his speech, he pointed out that his concurrent position as president of the commune could only be temporary, and that in the long run, it would be better for a local to take up the post of president.

Therefore, starting with this proposal, the executive committee general meeting was held several times, including not only the executive committee members, but also various groups and professionals participated, and everyone had a very lively discussion. At the meeting on the restructuring of the organization, Wen Deji made it clear that although the restructuring is a major event, it should not be at the expense of the expansion of the organization -- at present, the people themselves are still responsible for a lot of basic work, and if the institutions are set up too much and too carefully, the result will inevitably be that the vast majority of people will be busy with administrative affairs. And for a time there were not many qualified locals to fill various positions.

After several days of discussions, controversies and private consultations, the restructuring plan was finally released:

The Internal Affairs Committee was abolished and the Civil Affairs Committee and the Executive Committee General Office were established.

Wu De served as the civil councilor, with full authority over the indigenous population who had fallen under the regime. Institutions such as the Bairen Commune, the Labor Corps, and the Re-education Through Labor Corps continued to be managed by him. The General Legal Department, the General Taxation Department, and the General Department of Industry and Commerce were newly established.

Xiao Zishan served as the director of the General Office of the Executive Committee. Responsible for all the life affairs of the traversal and the administrative and personnel affairs of the Executive Committee. The General Affairs Group and IT Group under the direct jurisdiction of the former Executive Committee were merged into the General Office.

The Committee of Industry, Communications, Energy and Transportation was renamed the Commission of Industry and Energy, and consisted of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Metallurgy and the Ministry of Light Industry.

The communication and transportation departments under the jurisdiction of the former Industry, Communications, Energy, and Transportation Committee were separated, and the Telecommunications Corporation and the Postal and Transportation Bureau were established respectively, and the construction group that originally belonged to the Committee became the Lingao Construction Corporation independently. A new water board and an electricity company were established under the Commission.

The Committee of Agriculture has made no changes and has expressly authorized it to operate food processing enterprises. The canteen managed by the Ministry of Agriculture was transferred to the General Office, and the workers' canteen was transferred to the Civil Affairs Committee.

The Foreign Affairs and Commercial Committee consists of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, foreign trade companies and foreign stations. Responsible for all external relations, including negotiations, trade, negotiations, etc. The so-called foreign trade: refers to all foreign trade for areas other than Lingao that the traverser directly participates in. The Guangzhou Advance Station is subordinate to the Committee in terms of establishment. The institutions and members of the Commission are also tasked with gathering intelligence information and are accountable to the Intelligence Committee.

The Jihua Committee does not make major adjustments, but its subordinate Fiscal and Financial Committee is separated into a separate department. The status is the same as that of other committees. Ma Qianzhu continued to serve as a member of the Planning Commission, and Cheng Dong served as a member of the Finance and Finance Commission.

The Military Council underwent a major reshuffle, formally forming the General Staff, the Teaching Corps, the War Department, and the Maritime Liliang Division. Among them, the Maritime Liliang Department of the Corps is not only responsible for naval affairs, but also undertakes all maritime affairs including shipping, fishery production, and fishery administration. The Teaching Corps is managed by all healthy adult male traversers, using modern weapons, and in the event of an accident where the indigenous army is not able to survive, the Teaching Corps is mobilized. The traverser militia within the former military group formed its backbone.

The Internal Affairs Committee was newly established as the commander-in-chief of the powerful departments, and the Police Headquarters and Customs were newly established under it, the former Public Security Group was reorganized into the General Administration of Political Security, and the Internal Affairs Forces under the former Military Commission system were merged into the General Administration of Political Security.

Propaganda Department: It consists of a radio station, a printing house, and a propaganda office. Officially given to the preparation of Lingao Times,

Department of Resources: Set up a remote resource exploration team, a large library, and a survey team.

Ministry of Education: Responsible for local education.

Intelligence Committee: In addition to having the Foreign Intelligence Service, which is the body that directly dispatches and holds full-time intelligence personnel, it also acts as an intelligence coordination and analysis agency. It is responsible for analyzing and summarizing intelligence information collected from various aspects such as the military, foreign affairs and foreign trade, and political security. The Guangzhou dispatch station was under the dual leadership of it and the Foreign Affairs and Commercial Committee.

The functions and powers of this new system are relatively clear, and the needs of all parties are taken into account, and everyone is quite satisfied. Ma Qianzhu then took advantage of the hot iron and announced that from now on, the project approval system will be adopted, and no department will be allowed to start any new facilities or new projects at will without the approval of the Planning Commission.

"In the previous stage, various ministries and commissions were scrambling to improve the office environment for themselves, build buildings, carry out decoration, and purchase furniture. One by one, they are all ready to enjoy happiness," Ma Qianzhuo looked sad, "How much labor, cement, bricks and tiles have been consumed!" ”

"Comrades, I know that everyone has come to this time and space at the risk of danger and hardship, just to want to have no worries about food and clothing, wealth and glory, and to be a slaughterer for officials. At present, everyone is living a leisurely life, although it is hard, a few plates of seafood every day, two cups of wine, life is indeed quite good. There are also comrades who are playing the idea of life secretaries. It's not that you can't.

But we must also remember the old saying: people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries. The current crossing of the regime is just entrenched in a corner of the small county town of Lingao, the pirates Zheng Zhilong, Zhu Cailao, and Liu Xiang are eyeing the tiger, and it is only a matter of time before the Ming army comes to encircle and suppress, and there are all kinds of foreign robbers, we are sleeping on a crater! Don't take it lightly! ”

Everyone looked at Ma Qianzhuo with a serious face. He then spent 10 minutes denouncing the actions of the Army's private club, expressing his great sorrow at such disorganization and indiscipline. A cadre of the army didn't expect that he would be pulled out by Ma Qianzhu as a live target. One by one, they hung their heads.

"The Army Club's business, because it is more than 70% done, there is no longer a need to stop work here. But let's not take this as an example. Although Ma Qianzhuo pulled out the Army Club and focused on criticizing it, it was concluded with Chinese characteristics, as with all similar things
