The constitutional civil service system is very different from the traditional civil service system, and the most representative is naturally the reformed British civil service system, while the American civil service system, which is in the stage of party division and fat system, can be used as a negative teaching material.

After the implementation of constitutional government in the Qing Dynasty, the reform of the civil service system was already imperative, but in order to stabilize the political situation and implement a smooth transition, coupled with the rare drought in the north that lasted for five years, the reform of the civil service system was delayed again and again, and the implementation of the civil service system was delayed for a long time.

Britain's civil service is widely regarded as one of the best in the world, and its integrity and efficiency have won it a great reputation, and it has also become a model and model for the construction of civil service systems around the world, all of which come from its well-structured and reasonable civil service system.

The British civil service is a group of officials independent of the various political parties, and the civil service does not participate in partisan disputes or party activities, so the change of cabinet has little impact on the civil service.

The duty of the civil service is to carry out the established guidelines, policies and orders, and the senior civil service must also provide advice to the cabinet ministers at all times, providing the necessary information, knowledge and practical experience, which determines that the civil service has a great influence and has a certain or even decisive say in the formulation of some guidelines, policies and orders.

This makes the civilian bureaucracy an important part of the state apparatus, known as the "never-changing behind-the-scenes government".

The most important feature of the British civil service is that the front desk rotates between the two parties, and the back office is never replaced.

In this case, every change of cabinet will inevitably cause a serious earthquake in the officialdom, which will not only affect the continuity and stability of policies and guidelines, but also allow officials to use their power to bend the law for bribes, damage the public and private interests, and enrich their private pockets. As a result, the government at all levels is unstable, inefficient, and wasteful.

After he stepped down from office, he formed a cabinet in Sushun, and the provincial officials who were not interested in government affairs went to Beijing one after another to pay gifts to the new cabinet ministers under various names, and this trend was caused by the drawbacks of the traditional civil service system.

Yi Zhengxing has been brewing for a long time about the reform of the civil service system, and it can be said that he has done enough homework, and the old man who saw him was determined to promote, so he was naturally overjoyed, and even said: "What does my father mean, but try it in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces first?" ”

Zhao Liewen, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between his father and son, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between his father and son, said at this time: "Recovering the northwest, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces can be regarded as the front line, will it be inappropriate to use Shaanxi and Gansu as a pilot for the reform of the civil service system?" Will it be difficult to achieve the desired effect? ”

Yi Zhishu looked at him and said, "What does Huifu mean, is it to add one or two more provinces as pilots?" ”

Zhao Liewen nodded, "The students thought that Liangjiang has a good foundation and is suitable as a pilot. ”

"Okay." Yi Zhizhi said simply: "Come up with a trial plan as soon as possible, Su Xiang will arrive in the afternoon, and you will communicate first." ”

Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Shun entered the Zhennan Palace, after the Jingshi mutiny, things were complicated, and it was not until now that he took time to come to Shanghai, greeted and entered the room, after sitting down, he did not go around in circles and said directly: "According to the instructions of Brother Guocheng - the recovery of the northwest is imminent, the situation should not be turbulent, and this purge of the royalists cannot be regarded as a complete ........" ”

Yi Zhizu waved his hand, "It's been eight years since the constitution was established, and your way of thinking has not been reversed. ”

Su Shun's heart was weak, his eyes were a little dodgy, Zhao Liewen smiled and relieved the siege, "Many things have penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and it is difficult to change them in a short period of time, and this purge is mainly aimed at the northwest rebellion." ”

Yi Zhizhi didn't say anything, stretched out his hand to ask for tea, but he lit a cigarette, Su Shun took a few sips of tea, and said cautiously: "When I was in Xi'an, Brother Guocheng once said that he would add eight new departments and ten more ministers of state...... ”

Is this here to bargain? Yi Zhixin was not amused, at the beginning he was very unceremonious to ask for five places, but now there is no need for this, flicked the cigarette ash, he said casually: "The name of the Minister of State is not right, change the name to the Cabinet Minister, this time to form a cabinet, all the cabinet ministers are arranged and appointed by you, the prime minister, if there is a lack of suitable candidates for the position, I will recommend it to you." ”

What do you mean? Su Shun was surprised, he clearly remembered that when Yi formed a cabinet, the other party unceremoniously directly asked for half of the quota and position, and when he was in Xi'an, the other party also asked for half of the new number of ministers of state, why did he suddenly become so easy to talk to? Could it be a temptation?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yi Zhizhi said: "Su Xiang's prestige is not as good as that of King Gong, and this purge has made a lot of enemies, and in the eyes of the government and the opposition officials and gentlemen, he is on the throne with a mutiny, so he should take the opportunity to form a cabinet to establish prestige and reverse the negative image." ”

Is it necessary to put it so bluntly? Su Shun secretly smiled bitterly, besides, even if the other party didn't want a place, the twenty-three cabinet ministers Yuan Qi would at least occupy more than half, if he really dared to appoint all his cronies, he was afraid that he would not even be satisfied with one term, "Thank you Brother Guocheng for your compassion." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Yi Zhengxing and turned his head, "Is it going to Beijing after the beginning of the year?" ”

"That's how it was intended." Yi Zhengxing smiled and said: "However, the reform of the civil service system has been put on the agenda, and I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in Shanghai." ”

The reform of the civil service system, this is a big article! Su Shun listened to a joy, "Is it to imitate the English civil service system?" ”

Yi Zhizhi nodded, "During Prime Minister Su's term of office, my country will gradually establish various constitutional systems, the civil service system is the top priority, it is not appropriate to delay any longer, first in Shaanxi, Gansu and Liangjiang to try it out, and then promote it nationwide, which can be regarded as the first fire burned after Prime Minister Su took office." ”

"Okay." Su Shunlang smiled: "When the wind spreads, I can also be a little cleaner." "During this period of time, the local officials and important officials of Beijing have come to visit, and the daily meeting of guests will continue until late at night, he is very annoyed, but he can't help but can't see it, once the rumors of the reform of the civil service system spread, most of the local officials should go home.

After a pause, he continued: "The reform of the civil service system is not a trivial matter, and it is necessary to guide public opinion in a timely manner. ”

During this period, the mutiny in Beijing, the purge of the royalists, and the change of the cabinet have always been the focus of discussion between the government and the opposition, and he has always been on the cusp of public opinion.

Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, "You can discuss this matter with Xingzhi." ”

The mood relaxed, and Su Shun changed his head, "I heard that France has agreed to send troops to the northwest at the invitation of England, do you need to make diplomatic representations?" ”

"No, you don't." Yi Zhizu said indifferently: "It's not the first time we've fought the European coalition forces. ”
