282: If this policy can be implemented, China will be strong
The emperor appoints high-ranking officials, the Ministry of Personnel appoints middle-level officials, and the people elect low-level officials, and from top to bottom, there is no contradiction in this whole set of procedures, and the division of labor and responsibilities at all levels are clear.

Although it seems perfect on the surface, it is a whole new system, and no country has ever experimented with this form of government, and no one knows what the risks are.
And this system of government was taken out by Wang Sirui himself, and he didn't discuss it with his staff at all, so far, Yang Shiqi is the first staff member to know about this matter.
Wang Sirui has the right to appoint officials at all levels across the country, but under normal circumstances, he only appoints officials at or above the provincial level, and this is also clearly marked in this political system.
In other words, in the pre-Qing period, officials above the second rank had to be appointed by the emperor himself.
From the third rank to the ninth grade, the personnel department, that is, the former official department, is responsible for appointing.
Those grass-roots officials who are not in the rank are elected by the people themselves.
This is not only in China, but also for the first time in the world. Although those republics are nominally elected by parliament, everyone knows that parliament is also divided into mountains, and whoever has the numerical advantage will occupy complete dominance.
Until the next parliamentary reshuffle, as long as you don't die, nothing will change this pattern.
Therefore, Wang Sirui did not intend to set up a parliament at all, but divided the national government official system into four categories.
They are appointed by the emperor, selected by the Ministry of Personnel, elected by the people, examined by the parties, and finally an upgraded version of the imperial examination, which added a large number of advanced experiences of later generations.
As for the division of official grades, Wang Sirui also made a specific plan, the prime minister, the ministers of the central government are one product, of which the prime minister ranks the highest, which is actually equivalent to those cabinets of other countries, but there are no soldiers in this cabinet.
In Wang Sirui's plan, the army existed alone, he was not controlled by the government, and the army was directly responsible to the emperor.
That is to say, except for Wang Sirui, even the prime minister, do not want to mobilize any troops other than the guards assigned to him in accordance with the regulations.
The division of the military and the government is the most suitable form of government, and the politicians do not have the support of the military, and the only thing they can carry out is a coup d'état.
But the army is in the hands of Wang Sirui, and the personnel power is also in the hands of Wang Sirui. In the face of absolute strength, all coups are paper tigers.
And the right to vote at the grassroots level is handed over to the people, which will also expand the influence of imperial power, the people of this era are still very easy to fool, Wang Sirui gave them the right that the Qing Dynasty had never given them before, and this right was called a political right by Wang Sirui, a power that every citizen enjoys unconditionally.
In addition, a separate department has been set up to supervise and audit these officials to prevent corruption, inaction and other phenomena.
At the same time, Wang Sirui also included another kind of power in political power, and the people could impeach arbitrary officials.
Of course, this does not mean that officials can be impeached if they have nothing to do, and this is also demanding.
First of all, the grounds for impeachment must be sufficient, such as crimes committed while performing official duties, and detailed charges must be listed. At the same time, if the village head is impeached, it is necessary to collect the signatures of more than 60% of the villagers before applying to the county head for impeachment.
If the prefectural governor is impeached, 20,000 signatures must be collected before the mayor can be impeached.
The impeachment of the mayor requires 50,000 signatures, and the impeachment of the governor requires at least 100,000 signatures and an application for impeachment directly to the emperor in the capital.
In addition to this, the common people can also make requests for anything they find unsatisfactory to them, except for the impeachment of officials, which also requires the signature of 100,000 people.
Of course, this reply does not mean that the result of the application is directly announced, but that the review of the impeached official has been announced or notified, and as for the final result, the government needs to come up with accurate evidence to express its position.
In addition to a major change in personnel, there is also a very important change, that is, from now on, the scientific examination will not be the examination of the eight strands, but the continuation of the essence of a hundred schools of thought, and people from all walks of life can conduct scientific examinations.
For example, as long as you know how to read, you can get into the agricultural bureau unit of the county government or below.
For example, carpentry and some craftsmen, as long as you know how to read, you can take the prefectural government or the mechanical bureau of the government below.
If you know how to manage and have your own set of ideas, you can take the prefectural government or the following government establishment. If you are good at communicating, then you can get the establishment of the liaison office and so on.
As long as you have special skills and are helpful to the country, you can be admitted to the government establishment.
Of course, now it's just a matter of qualifying, and whether you can be selected or not depends on your own level. Regarding this article, Wang Sirui only gave a four-word request, which would rather be lacking than excessive.
Although the imperial examination has developed to this day, there have been a lot of versions, it can be said that the imperial examination version of the former Qing Dynasty is the most perfect, and some people with special skills can also pass the imperial examination, but because those people have completed the examination, the future development space is very limited, so it will be overshadowed by the examination of Baguwen.
But compared with the talent selection system developed by Wang Sirui, Yang Shiqi couldn't help but secretly praise it. In this case, wouldn't all the talented people in the world be of my own use? With the advantages of hundreds of schools, how can the country be strong?
In addition, the central government is divided into ten ministries, including personnel, finance, industry and agriculture, foreign affairs, communications, education and culture, public security, civil affairs, supervision, and science and technology. That is to say, after this system, plus the prime minister, there are a total of thirteen Zhengyipin officials in the country, one more than the previous Qing Dynasty.
And these people need to face Wang Sirui directly, in other words, this is their cabinet.
On this basis, Wang Sirui divided clear responsibilities for each department, each performing its own duties, the emperor only needs to lead the overall situation, greatly reducing the intensity of the work, and at the same time can ensure that the work is effective and correct.
In addition, there are also banks that have been listed separately, mainly by the central bank, which is mainly responsible for making coins, and then newly established three major banks of industry, commerce and construction, and private banks are also allowed to open banks, but they must be reviewed by the central bank and obtain a license before they can open.
The other is the army, which is a bit novel, the army did not continue the model of the former Qing Dynasty, but moved closer to the West.
The rank is not divided by grade, but according to the rank, and the position of the corresponding military rank is given, but this is not accurate, sometimes there will be a high position and a low position, and sometimes a low position and a high match, but the difference between the top and bottom is not too big.
There are also several similar departments under the military department, such as the two major departments, the War Department and the Navy Department, which have six departments under them, including finance, personnel, operations, staff, logistics, and equipment. At the same time, the only army staff academy at present has also been placed under the direct jurisdiction of the military department.
If the facts can really go completely according to Wang Sirui's plan, then at most, the Chinese Empire will have the strength to completely crush Japan, ten years, the Chinese Empire will not be afraid of any country in the world, and in twenty years, it will be possible to become a first-class power.
Of course, if we talk about the military, the Han army can now completely crush the Japanese army on land, not to mention the navy, it is all a history of blood and tears, and it may not be able to defeat the Japanese navy within ten years. The crushing here refers to the crushing of all aspects, military power (except the navy), industry, commerce, and so on.
As long as they are willing, they can exploit any resources at any time, as long as there are enough steel plants, and even within a month, the steel output can exceed that of Japan by dozens or hundreds of times.
It feels cool just by listening to it, but who is Yang Shiqi? is Wang Sirui's staff, if according to this new set of classification levels, he Yang Shiqi belongs to the first-class level, and he is also the vice minister of the Ministry of Communications, isn't it? This level is the same level as those feudal officials, although there will be no governor in the future, replaced by the governor, but this level is enough for Yang Shiqi to be excited.
More importantly, Yang Shiqi is one of Wang Sirui's staff, and this identity is very important, far more than his identity as vice minister of communications.
Yang Shiqi was able to become Wang Sirui's staff, and he also relied on his real skills to get to where he is today. Therefore, after reading this plan, Yang Shiqi instantly understood the core of this plan, that is, people.
This person is none other than Wang Sirui himself.
"It is a blessing for the country, the people, and future generations to have such a great talent in the saint." Yang Shiqi immediately knelt on the ground, and bowed in his heart.
Looking at Yang Shiqi's statement, Wang Sirui frowned slightly: "Xingcheng!" This plan is for you to give advice, not for you to bow down. In addition, it is not allowed to kneel in the future, because men have gold under their knees, and the ritual of kneeling should be abolished in the future. ”
"This ...... The saint, the minister has not seen the omission for a while, and asks the saint to punish the crime! Yang Shiqi hesitated slightly, and immediately stopped mentioning the abolition of kneeling, anyway, no one could change what Wang Sirui decided, so he turned the topic to the plan.
Wang Sirui suddenly laughed wildly in his heart, this is a plan that he took two years to make, completely adapted in accordance with the various institutional foundations of later generations, of course, all of them are the general direction and some details, with these, you can avoid detours to the greatest extent, and can use the limited time to deal with the right place, Wang Sirui has been making up for this plan for two years, even if you Yang Shiqi is smart, if you find out the problem at a glance, then I haven't been busy in vain in the past two years?
But he still nodded very calmly, "Well, go to the palace guard for a walk during this time, the three of you discuss this plan, and before ascending the throne, find as many loopholes as possible." (To be continued.) )
