The position of the last Minister of Supervision is none other than Hong Tao, and the need for government, military, and intelligence is at this stage, and Hong Tao will not hand over these rights if he does not smooth out the Jinhe Empire, and this thing will be fatal once it is entrusted to a non-person. There is no need to choose a candidate for deputy minister, this kind of offending work is not coveted, at least not now, Cixi took office as a person, and his brother was also considered to have eaten the imperial grain, and became the director of the Internal Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Supervision as he wished. These two families are Hong Tao's descendants, Hong Tao only needs to keep an eye on them, and the others don't have to worry about it, the two of them will treat everyone as enemies like hunting dogs, and they will report to their master Hong Tao whenever there is a disturbance.

The company has become a state, and the board of directors is naturally a parliament, not only the name has changed, but the scale has to be expanded, so as to better reflect the will of the people. The first Jinhe Empire had only one parliament, with a number of fifty people, and the prime minister of the country was naturally the chairman of the parliament, but he only had the right to convene a meeting, not the right to vote. The election of the councillors is temporarily appointed by the emperor, and the election of the councillors has not yet been decided. The quota is allocated to 80 per cent of the country, or 40 for the overseas territories, and 10 for the overseas territories. This parliament was the supreme legislative body of the Kim and Empire, and any law could only be enforced after two-thirds of the parliament passed it.

The reason why the members of the first council should be appointed by Hong Tao himself is not that Hong Tao wants to set up the parliament, but that the structure of the Jinhe Empire is not very suitable for **** now, and if you want to ****, you have to wait for the complete change of the imperial structure to be completed. Moreover, Hong Tao is not prepared to do it in one step, and it will confuse the residents who have just roughly understood the election of the board of directors into a bicameral system all at once. Let's get a parliamentary transition first. Wait until everyone is familiar with this set of things. Classes also began to form in the Golden River Empire. It's not too late to evolve to bicameral. In fact, for the current Jin He Empire, one parliament is completely sufficient, and the country is too small and too small in number to make it so complicated.

The government and parliament have finished designing, and the work has just been completed. With the state, the industries that originally belonged to all the residents of Jinhewan had to be transformed from large collectives into state-controlled enterprises, and then these enterprises were assigned to different departments according to different types, and the government functionaries of these departments and the managers of the enterprises sat together and discussed how to divide the shares of the enterprises. How many shares should employees receive. In addition, there are a lot of issues such as salary level and welfare benefits in the future, which must be discussed slowly to find a balance.

Hong Tao can't do this job by himself, there are too many of them, and he can't finish it until he dies. He put these things aside for the time being, first concentrating on promoting the establishment of the state and the establishment of the parliament, and then following these people to discuss the appointment of government cabinet personnel and the drafting of the constitution and various laws, and was busy until the New Year without a clue. Fortunately, the appointment of cabinet personnel was approved, and Emperor Hong Taohong, Premier Hong, and Minister Hong finally ceased to fight alone, and there was a grass platform team by his side.

Year 1238. In the second year of Jiaxi, Song Lizong began to change the era name again. Hong Tao has just traveled to the Southern Song Dynasty for 11 years, and has already gone through the three era names of Shaoding, Duanping, and Jiaxi. Although there have been a certain degree of changes in the Southern Song Dynasty at this time and the Southern Song Dynasty in history, Emperor Lizong's problem of changing his name has not changed at all.

During the more than a year of Hongtao's voyage to Europe, the army of the Mongol Empire never invaded the south on a large scale, but often sent small forces to harass the strongholds on the Southern Song front. The scale is not too large, except for causing a certain degree of damage, it has not made any big gains, and the two sides are basically stable on the original front, and no one can push anyone. If you think that the Mongol Empire will retreat because of the loss of thousands of soldiers and horses and a prince, Hong Tao himself does not believe it, there must be a reason for not holding back, and it broke out with a suffrage, and the strength is greater and the damage is more ruthless. So what bad water is the Mongol Empire holding back? The intelligence brought by Kong Pei and Cixi all pointed to one direction, the navy!

"Are there really that many?" Hong Tao is really hard pressed as the emperor, even if there is no palace, there is not even an emperor's office. The prime minister is not very glamorous, he has an office, and he is in the new Empire State Building, but unfortunately this Empire State Building has not even finished drawing the drawings, and if he wants to hold a cabinet meeting, he has to temporarily requisition his own house. At this time, he was holding two reports, one look here and another, and the expression on his face became more and more relaxed.

"It's just a lot, it's no longer possible to get close to Dengzhou, unless there is a war, there are still dozens of nautical miles from the peninsula, and there are patrol ships of the Mongolian sailors on the sea to patrol day and night. They were still training sailors, often sailing large fleets, and now they were able to sail directly to Golden State. The destroyed harbor was rebuilt, heavily guarded and inaccessible. Kong Pei pointed to the document in Hong Tao's right hand and confirmed its authenticity with his own eyes, and the Mongol Empire was really taken crooked by Hong Tao from the original road. They had suffered a loss from a warship and began to learn to use new technologies, but this time their studious interest would not be rewarded, but would hurt them.

"The specific number should be about 50, all of them are large ships with a displacement of more than 300 tons, and the largest may be close to 600 tons. Among the craftsmen who built the ships for them, there were not only people from the former Jin Kingdom, but also many big cannibals. It is said that in Dengzhou and Jinzhou, there were high-ranking Mongolian officials who personally supervised the construction, and the shipyard was cleaned up, and there were no residents within more than ten miles, and all the craftsmen lived in the barracks and could not go out. In addition, there is bad news, the Mongol sailors may also be using a lot of artillery, I carefully asked the Japanese merchants, they said that in the past year, a large amount of sulfur has been bought by a few Korean maritime merchants, almost as much as they want, very little bargaining. The price of sulfur purchased by Lao Xu has more than doubled compared to a year ago, and it is still rising. The Mongols wanted so much sulfur not as medicine, but only to make gunpowder. "As the intelligence leader of the Jinhe Empire, although Cixi can't go to the sea to see it with his own eyes, his sources are more extensive and his reference value is higher.

"Oh! That's kind of interesting, do you mean they're making artillery, too? "The Mongolian sailors are not worried about how many ships Hong Tao builds, the number is not a very important parameter in naval battles, especially for their own fleet, the enemy is ten ships and a hundred ships is nothing more than the difference in the number of cannons, and there is no substance. But the type of weapons of the enemy's ships is very critical, dealing with a fleet with only crossbow arrows is obviously not the same concept as dealing with a fleet that is already equipped with artillery, if the Mongolian sailors really develop artillery, no matter what type of artillery, it will pose a great threat to the fleet of the Jinhe Empire. At this time, the number of their ships became an important parameter, two hundred battleships armed with artillery? Given Hong Tao ten Jinhe, he didn't dare to say that he would definitely win.

"I don't know, there is even less news about this, our people can't reach Zhongdu, and those businessmen who do business on both sides can't go to too important departments, they can only look for clues from some fragmentary information. Supposedly, I haven't heard that the Mongols purchased a lot of copper, so you can't use wood to make cannons, right? Cixi couldn't answer Hong Tao's question positively, he really didn't know.

"Whether it's artillery or not, be vigilant. Lao Kong, you have been affected these days, take the fleet and go around there again, try to make contact with their warships, and see what weapons they have on board. Let's not use live ammunition, just scare and scare them with empty cannons, the main thing is to get to the bottom of it, and don't show your true strength. Cixi's answer could not reassure Hong Tao, he had to know the true strength of the Mongolian sailors, since he couldn't find out, then try it. Although this method is costly and dangerous, it can only be done in this way.

"I understand that the fleet will definitely not get too close to them, and I will go up alone with the ship to try, even if they have cannons, they may not be able to do anything to me." Kong Pei fully understood Hong Tao's intentions, and focused on the safety of the fleet, reassuring Hong Tao that he would not let the entire fleet take risks.

"Don't! You are now the Empire's Deputy Minister of Defense, and you are still the commander of the main fleet, you can't do this kind of thing yourself, let other captains go. You can't always be in front of them, since you are the captain of a battleship, you have to fight, and the bigger the scene you have seen, the greater the risk you have taken, and the faster they will grow. By the way, the ship that went to the test could not be a warship, replace it with a salmon class, and do not equip it with cannons, be prepared to be beaten, and configure the minimum number of sailors. "Anyone who is an official is ruthless, and if he is an emperor, he is not a person, this truth is very correct. If it was in the past, Hong Tao would take the merchant ship to test the reality of the enemy's warship, but now he can't help but treat many people as pawns, and he hasn't even thought about their feelings. On the one hand, he is called politically mature and has the appearance of a leader. On the other hand, he is getting farther and farther away from the category of people, and the seven emotions and six desires are slowly disappearing.

"Master, isn't it a bit dangerous to send salmon-grade ones? …… I have secretly sold some of the construction drawings to a few maritime merchants in Mingzhou City, these guys have a very close relationship with the Goryeo merchants, and they will sell it to the Goryeo when they turn around, and it will not be far from the Mongols when they get to the Goryeo people......" Hearing that Hong Tao was going to send a merchant ship to take an adventure, Cixi immediately showed an anxious expression on her face, looked left and right, and then looked at Hong Tao, and still told him what he had done.
