Chapter 846 - Exploitation

hours. Plenty of sunshine. Sunlight casts on the streets. It's heartwarming. It was lunch time, and many street shop men were holding large porcelain bowls, squatting outside the store, basking in the sun while picking up food in their mouths. In these two years, industry and commerce have been prosperous. According to the regulations promulgated by the Labor Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, employers must pay wages to all the workers they employ, and can no longer refuse to pay labor remuneration to workers under the pretext of "apprenticeship", and this labor remuneration must be cash, released monthly, so, Even new apprentices who have entered the online industry are now able to receive a cash salary, which is not much, but it is enough to support themselves. If the employer is also in charge of the meal, then the wages can be saved or spent elsewhere, such as to pay for private night schools, turning purely manual workers into skilled workers.

In this era, the mood of most citizens is positive, because the central government has given them hope and goals, the rich want to earn more money, and the poor also have the opportunity to change their social status.

This satisfaction is based on the efficiency of the administration of the government, which has been in place since the President came in power. The work efficiency of government departments at all levels has been further improved, and the corpse vegetarian people have become less and less welcome in the officialdom, and only those hard-working officials and clerks are the bosses. Although the social interaction in the officialdom is still not much different from before, after all, no one dares to slack off during working hours, otherwise, the members of the Governor's Office and the local councillors will not let them sit comfortably in that chair. If you don't do it, someone will do it, if you are not diligent, some people will be diligent, this is the rule in this officialdom today.

This kind of officialdom rules are valid not only for low-level officials, but also for high-ranking officials, and even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which used to seem to outsiders to have an easier job, now strictly abide by the rules of officialdom, and the former casual diplomats have now learned to commute to and from work on time, instead of often not sitting in the ministry under the pretext of socializing with foreign envoys. At present, Tang Shaoyi, the chief of foreign affairs, is sitting in the office of the Ministry of Documents, and although it is time to eat, he still does not leave the office, but only tells the secretary to go to the restaurant to order some food for him and send it to the office, and there will be a meal in this office place.

In fact, Tang Shaoyi has been busy in these few years. There is no time to spare, and some officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are indeed idle, but as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the de facto leader of the cabinet, Tang Shaoyi must lead by example. Otherwise, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would not be as disciplined as it is now.

In the words of Mr. President, this kind of rectification of officialdom discipline is the so-called "professionalization of civil servants," and it is necessary to change the lax state of officialdom in the past, and who is responsible for what affairs and who manages what departments must be clearly defined, so that responsibilities and powers are clear, and those who dare to neglect their duties will be held accountable. Moreover, in this professional state, no one can push the commission to work, and if you complete the work, that is your obligation, and if you do not complete the work, it is your dereliction of duty. Accountability must be held accountable, under such a system. All civil servants are employed by the government, not by their superiors, you are not working for their superiors, you are working for the government.

In a word, being an official now is a chore, although the salary is good, but the pressure is also great. Tang Shaoyi also has a deep understanding of this.

At present, Tang Shaoyi is still working on the case, and is busy reviewing and reviewing the official documents submitted by the ministry, most of which are about personnel transfers in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has just conducted an appraisal not long ago. A large number of corpses have been unceremoniously dismissed, and some arrogant young talents have been absorbed into the civil service, and the arrival of these people will change some of the work styles of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Finally finished reviewing the last personnel appointment and dismissal order, Tang Shaoyi put down the pen, took off the pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, raised his hand and pressed his temples.

Now Tang Shaoyi is also in the year of knowing his fate. Although it can't be said to be old, after all, this energy is not as good as before, and it is a heavy official business. Coupled with the frequent foreign affairs and entertainment, he does feel very tired now, compared to the carefree time when he worked for Beiyang, he now really understands the difficulty of saving the country, and he understands Zhao Bei's thoughts better.

When Zhao Bei wanted to engage in politics, Tang Shaoyi didn't say anything, but he didn't support it much in his heart, but now it seems that Zhao Bei's politics not only improved the administrative efficiency of the government, but also maintained the stability of the country, which is enough to prove that Zhao Bei is a qualified or even excellent national yuan.

But all this is based on Zhao Bei's "wisdom and wisdom", for others, Tang Shaoyi is not optimistic, in his eyes, in the history of China throughout the ages, a civil and military all-rounder like Zhao Bei really can't find a second place, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in ancient and modern times, but in fact. Zhao Bei did boast in front of Tang Shaoyi, saying that his strategic vision was "world". Tang Shaoyi completely agrees with this, and now looking back on Zhao Bei's various decisions and actions in the past few years, it seems that they have proved a truth: Zhao Bei seems to have a ability to foresee the future of history. And this kind of ability seems to be the kind of former strategic eyehole......

Although this analysis is somewhat of a god's stick, Tang Shaoyi does have some thoughts of worshipping Zhao Beiding now, and he thinks that he is lucky to be able to meet such a leader in this era, and under the leadership of this leader, the country is becoming stronger and stronger. And he, the Minister General of Foreign Affairs, is now becoming more and more arrogant, in the past, it was he who went to ask foreign envoys, but now, it is foreign envoys who come to beg him. The two sides are compared, which is superior and inferior, and the advantages and disadvantages are distinguished.

"Without Zhao Zhenhua, there would be no Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Tang Shaoyi sat at the desk and sighed a few words. I got up and walked to the window and looked downstairs at the garden. Then he took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and was about to do tai chi when a secretary walked up to the office door, a copy of a telegram in his hand.

"Chief, the President has sent a telegram from Shaanzhou about the diplomatic memorandum presented by the Japanese minister.

"Oh? Let me see, what exactly is the president's position? ”

Tang Shaoyi walked over, took the telegram transcript from the secretary's hand, put on his glasses, and looked at it carefully.

"On the issue of the New Guinea dispute, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can support Japan's political position, strengthen Asian solidarity, and jointly safeguard Asian interests, if necessary. The Government of Thailand could be invited to join the international settlement of this dispute. With regard to the Japanese Government's proposal to reorganize the "Far East Peace Commission" into the "Asian Peace Commission," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can also intensify consultations with Japan and Taura and, if necessary, draw the United States into this consultation process to strengthen unity between Asia and the Americas. ”

That's all the content of the telegram, and the meaning is clear, and it is clear that the president is emphasizing that "pan-Asianism" again.

Although he always felt that there seemed to be something hidden behind the president's "pan-Asianism" proposition, Tang Shaoyi was still somewhat relieved now. The dispute between Japan and Australia over the island of New Guinea has been a hot international issue recently. Although not as conspicuous as the question of the Russian Revolution. However, as a neighbor of Japan, China really cannot be too indifferent on this issue.

Japan's expansion into the East Asian continent was halted by a Northeast Asian war between China and Japan, and what is now Japan is like a boiler full of steam. There is nowhere to release the pressure inside, and if you can't find a pressure reducing valve for this Japanese boiler as soon as possible, it is likely to explode and cause trouble to neighboring countries while destroying itself, so. In the opinion of Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It would be ideal for Japan to turn its attention to the island of New Guinea, and he hoped to divert the Japanese scourge to Australia, and in any case the farther away from China, the better. Even if this Japanese boiler explodes, China will not be seriously harmed.

On this issue, Tang Shaoyi and Zhao Bei coincide, which may also be one of the reasons why Zhao Bei insisted on letting Tang Shaoyi serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs, this person is not confused in international strategy, and the reason why he did not show his shrewdness before is not because of personal ability, but because of national strength.

"Calling back to the president, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has understood the president's intentions and will immediately proceed to handle it. In addition, he conveyed to the President that negotiations on the elevation of diplomatic relations between China and Turro to the ambassadorial level have been concluded. The two governments could sign a formal treaty at a later date. ”

Tang Luoyi quickly drafted a callback, and at this time. The secretary who had gone to order food for him also returned. Carrying a food box, it was filled with Tang Shaoyi's most satisfying dishes.

Tang Shaoyi and the secretary made do with this lunch in the office, and after eating, Tang Shaoyi did not go to rest and continued to work on the case. He didn't stop working until he officially went to work at two o'clock in the afternoon.

At half past two o'clock in the afternoon, when Tang Shaoyi was busy convening his secretary to prepare for a meeting, Mr. Shin Gye-zhi, the foreign minister of the Independent State of Korea, suddenly visited, which made Tang Shaoyi somewhat surprised.

"Mr. Shin, aren't you going to Uiju?" Tang Shaoyi saw Shen Guizhi and asked the other party first.

It is no wonder that Tang Shaoyi is strange: As one of the direct consequences of the Sino-Japanese war in Northeast Asia, on the Korean side of the Yalu River, China and Japan negotiated a 50-kilometer area on each side of the Yalu River, and this unit was not allowed to enter at will, and the local security was left to the Koreans themselves, and China and Japan were each responsible for forming a "security army" composed of Koreans, each numbering 5,000 people, stationed in the neutral zone, responsible for maintaining law and order, and in exchange for Japan's concessions on the Korean issue. China will restrain the "Independent State of Korea" from entering the government

Therefore, although the Independent State of Korea can send staff to enter and leave Yalu freely in their personal capacity, there are some complaints, but the reason why they sent Shin Gye-zhi this time is before the public as the "inspector of the Independent State of Korea".

"I didn't cross the Yalu River at all, and when I walked to the river, I was stopped by your country's border guards. They said that I didn't have a passport and asked me to handle it at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Therefore, I had to come to President Tang to discuss the explanation. ”

Shen Guizhi's words made Tang Shaoyi come back to his senses. However, he can't help with this, and the president's instructions on the North Korean issue are very clear, that is: you can use it, but you can't be led by the nose. Yi Xunshu is a fine notch mixed with different body clams
