Chapter 627: Eternal Benevolence

The twelfth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, March 1639.

In view of the excellent situation in the country in the suppression of bandits, under the tireless appeasement of Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, the Central Plains ushered in a short period of peace.

Chongzhen ordered Hong Chengchou, the former governor of Yansui and the governor of Shaanxi to be reappointed as the governor of Jiliao, responsible for the military of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Both Chongzhen and the Manchu civil and military believed that he was a commander with deep qualifications, high prestige, and could take on the heavy responsibilities of Liaodong, and placed great expectations on him.

Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has expanded its army on a large scale and the attack on the Liaodong Peninsula by the Tiance Army, the pressure on the Shanhaiguan direction is increasing.

The Manchus were a barbarian regime that did not pay attention to production and preferred to plunder for a living. Due to the obstruction of the Tiance army, the robbery that occurred in the eleventh year of Chongzhen's history could not be carried out, resulting in heavy losses in the white plague of the Manchu Qing last winter, so small-scale looting occurred from time to time.

At the same time, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, was also transferred, and the imperial court transferred Sun Chuanting, the governor of Baoding, Shandong, and Henan military affairs, and ordered him to hand over all the "Qin army" to Hong Chengchou to assist in the defense of Jiliao.

Sun Chuanting argued in court, saying that this part of the Shaanxi soldiers must not leave, and if they were taken away, the "thieves" in Shaanxi would breed again, and the result would not be beneficial to the defense of the Ji and Liao borders, but only cleared the officials and troops for the "thieves" in Shaanxi.

He also said: "And the wives and children of the Qin soldiers are all in Qin, and they stay on the side for a long time, and if they are not in a hurry, they will flee, and they will not be used by me but by thieves, and they will drive soldiers from thieves."

He asked to keep the Qin army in Shaanxi, of course, for the sake of the future "suppression of thieves" military, but also for his own sake. Without these troops, he will return to Shaanxi in the future, and there will be no monkeys in his hands.

Chongzhen was anxious to stabilize the situation at Shanhaiguan and block the Manchu Qing outside the customs, so he ignored Sun Chuanting's request.

Although it is early spring, there is still a chill in the weather in the starting city, which is also characteristic of the Xiaoice period, and the heat supply of the power plant has not been interrupted, which is expected to be until the end of April.

Cang Liao is full and knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. After several years of development, the economic strength of the starting point city has been improved more and more, and the people's living standards have risen significantly. In addition, in recent years, more and more wealthy families have immigrated from Beizhili, Shandong, and Shanxi, and the number of leisure classes has increased, so the demand for culture and entertainment has become more and more huge.

Where there is demand, there is a market, and traditional storytellers, opera classes, and teahouses have been stationed in various places, bringing a very rich entertainment life to the people of the starting point city, plus the starting point city has good public security, there is no curfew, and this cultural life is even more colorful.

Opera is a traditional culture of the Chinese people, although there are entertainment tools such as movies and broadcasts in the starting point city, and even popular songs have become popular among young people, but it still can't stop the Chinese people's preference for opera.

East to the Beijing Division's tune of the small order, the court workshop music, west to Shanxi all over the Bang Opera, down to the south of the Yangtze River Kunqu Opera, the starting point of the city of all kinds of opera troupes, from the cultural poor, to the entertainment resources, the people of the starting point city, have been able to confidently scold outsiders, people from other towns: soil buns!

In recent days, teahouses everywhere have been discussing a topic, that is, on March 1, the Management Committee of Qiqi City officially promulgated the "Measures for the Management of Workers' Pensions" and the "Measures for the Management of the Government's Integrity Provident Fund" through the "Ming Pao".

Undoubtedly, this is a policy that benefits all staff within the starting city, and the retirement management measures also stipulate that any business within the starting city must comply with this method, otherwise a fine will be issued.

There are already many private businesses in the starting city, and the pension system promulgated by the management committee of the starting point city does not have much impact on them, after all, the part of the workers' self-care is deducted from their personal wages.

However, the gap between the salaries of private businesses in the starting point city and the self-operated companies and factories in the starting point city is obvious, so there is also a significant gap in the pension received after retirement.

"Since the promulgation of the Measures for the Administration of Workers' Pensions and the Measures for the Administration of the Government's Integrity Provident Fund, the response has been very enthusiastic and has been widely welcomed. There is no doubt that this is another benevolent government of my starting city, and it is an unprecedented and groundbreaking benevolent government. ”

Zhang Ziyun, the political premier of the starting point city management committee, said with a smile. This is a policy of benefiting the people evolved from the social security policy of later generations, and it has been launched by the joint response of several core members of the starting point city.

The core members of the starting point city are Wang Yue, Wang Zhuo, Zhang Ziyun and He Xiang, the four of them are the only four people who know the secrets of the starting point city, and one person knows half of the secrets, that is Wang Pengyuan.

At present, the organizational structure of the politics of the starting point city is as follows: the management committee of the starting point city is the highest authority of the starting point city, with a chairman, served by Wang Yue, who is in charge of the overall work of the starting point city.

There are four members of the committee: Wang Zhuo, executive vice chairman, who is in charge of the military.

Member Zhang Ziyun, Prime Minister of Political Affairs.

Committee member Zhang Hexiang is in charge of industry.

Wang Pengyuan, member of the CPPCC National Committee, is in charge of the economy and general logistics.

Under the Management Committee of the starting point city, it is mainly divided into two major parts, namely government affairs and military affairs.

Under the Prime Minister is Guo Yanchang, director of the Prime Minister's Office, and then under the Ministry of Personnel (equivalent to the Ministry of Officials), Industry, Agriculture, Construction, Police, Industry and Commerce, Taxation, Health, Education, Finance, Commerce, Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Women and Children's Security.

In accordance with the principles of separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary, two separate branches will be established under the Commission in the future: the courts and the public prosecutor's office. Due to the current shortage of legal personnel, the judicial sector is relatively weak and can only be set up later.

This organizational structure was established with reference to the organizational structure of later generations.

Compared with the Ming court's "Taifu Temple", "Dali Temple", "Servant Shooting", "Outside the Staff", "Scattered Cavalry", "Giving Things" and other names that make the people dizzy when they hear it, the name of the official is obviously easier to understand, and it will not conflict with the official position of the imperial court.

Wang Zhuo also said: "The introduction of the pension has solved the worries of the people, and the hearts of the people in my starting city will be more stable and down-to-earth." ”

Although Wang Zhuo is in charge of the military, he has to attend the plenary meeting of the management committee every year.

"This is indeed a benevolent government that has never been seen in the past." Minister of Commerce Li Maochang nodded with a smile, and then he smiled and said: "However, Lord Shaobao, the military commander, and Premier Zhang, the affairs of my starting city are thriving, and the situation is gratifying, but the outside world is surging with undercurrents, which is quite weird!" ”

Prime Minister Zhang Ziyun frowned and asked, "What did Minister Li say about this?" ”

Li Maochang took out a few silver yuan coupons from the pocket of his clothes, motioned to the staff to pass them to Zhang Ziyun, and said, "Prime Minister, please take a look at what this is?" ”
